I mean question like t hi is suck and are balls.

Absolutely you can finish the entire game casually. Many people do, for someone like this starting in a new league then playing that chat in standard would be optimal. You dont play enough to reroll every league bat that point.

I've played since closed beta , have hit level 100 but I havent done all content because I choose not too.(and because sc is boring and hc is rip)

Prolly a poison blade blast build? Team blast about cleared the game in 24h without trading.

If you play 2 hours every day - 90 x 2 = 180, you can be 7+ times slower. Trade to compensate skill (I sure as hell I know I need to). Buy some help here and there.

Then again GGG tends to mix things up every league so who knows.


Anyway check builds on the (early) ladders. Mostly comes down to putting in the effort. 7+ times may sound like a lot but these team blast players are PoE gods.

I'm not going to read nine pages, but I assume everything has already been said. So I'll just put in my "vote" on what I consider casual.

A few hours a week is casual.
1-2 hours a day is borderline casual.

Playing a lot of hours, but not being serious, or not trying to play all content, is also casual.

There is no solid answer to that. If you care about bossing I think that miners are the better entry line boss kill and not so shitty mapping archetypes. It actually clears all content with low amount of gear and pretty well, even in life based version.

If you want to "beat" every content in the game, the easiest and fastest way is to create specialised characters.

For currencies and game mechanics however you have to learn. There are dozens of way getting rich in PoE but you need to know what you are doing and having some skill and a good computer(with 2 to 3 screens) are factors as well. As you play 2 h a day or few hours at different points of the week, you need to take extra time to be sure to be in line with the actually economy when farming/making a gear. It means that for example a week-end you'll setup watchstones somewhere and get currency, but the next week-end you may have to setup another farm, overtime it will be less and less an issue.

Also about mapping, atlas completion. Those are extremly important, it is how you make currency over time, if you don't have much time available, spend more on your maps. The less you play the more you want to invest into your progression actually and on the juice, it is counter intuitive but relaxed alc go 24/7 is good for no lifers only. So dont be afraid buying big bulk of scarabs and sextants later on as well, make the most of your time by not running empty layouts or trading constantly. On the same note, you don't reliably farm master missions at 6h of game time per week so you can more or less consider those as bonus, even delving as it really sucks when not going deep wich is extremly time consuming and build intensive as hell.

I've been playing POE for the past 6 years, on average about 30 minutes a day. (Sometimes a lot more, sometimes a week or more without playing at all.)

I'm SSF, and only just got to level 100 and beat Sirius.

100 is about biggest waste of time in the world. You can build 6 GG lvl 96 toons in time it takes to make 100. Thats cuz takes 3000 maps for 100 as opposed to 500 for 96. 4 pts never made a difference in sirus or not. I've done him at 88 at 472K dps.

You might have missed the part where I said I'm SSF. I don't make any profit or trade for gear. I find or craft everything I have. The only reason I play the game is because I enjoy it. There's no such thing as wasting your time if you enjoy it. And although I created a secondary character for a specific reason a while ago (which is no longer relevant), I have no desire to play more than a single character.

I would honestly recommend quitting this game until PoE 2 comes out. Right now finding a legit build that hasn't been invalidated through harvest nerfs or that doesn't involve spending hours on crafting or 200+ ex min budget to work is almost impossible to find.

Also being end of league time, it's basically dead considering it's a very unpopular league.

i not only claim it
i had hh's in multiple league
death penalty still sucks

I consider myself casual with 2-3 hours daily sometimes none and low budget to spend.
BB assassin works well with low budget also SSF but takes longer.

Well, vortex/cold snap occultits has decent defence/offense and isn't that hard to gear even for casuals, even with harvest nerfs. Also unlikely to be nerfed much due to not being super strong on either defensive/offensive side.
