PoE 2 Feedback Thread: Loot drop types and major class issues (Infernalist Witch)

Heya, writing this as a way to give a bit of feedback, and maybe hear what other people think of it as well.

I've noticed a few glaring issues with the current way loot drops in the game. I am currently in Cruelty Act 1, in an area with level 47 enemies, and keep finding low ilevel gear drops. I'm not sure why level 20 requirement gear would be dropping in this area at all, let alone with any frequency.

Also noticed that wands seem to be non-existent in many areas of the game,specifically withered wands with chaos bolt, which is kind of counter intuitive when playing a class that uses them as a focus (chaos build on infernal witch). I have so many shields and crossbows dropping that I could start my own army, but not a single wand in sight!

I understand that some weapons and items work across the board on different classses -technically- but classes do start out with a certain weapon type, and I am curious as to why it wouldn't be implemented that certain classes have a higher chance to drop certain weapon types. Rarity isn't an issue, even common wands seem to not drop at all.

Also, Demon Form in infernalist is still next to useless. The two most important support gems for it (Vitality and Cannibalism) to mitigate the HP loss still do not work, and the tradeoff damage for 20 or so seconds isn't worth it because of this. Really hoping GGG can bump this up in priority a bit, considering how many people are playing the class. I can understand that Demon Form overall is a bit of a sensitive topic right now, what with the weapons being unusable / stats not scaling, and all the other bugs people report on, but I feel that the support gems not being usable is something that needs to be fixed ASAP.


TL;DR - While it seems rarity of items has been tweaked for the better, the -type- of item dropping when it comes to weapons and gear still feels way, way off.

Hope this helps! Feel free to comment if you agree or disagree. Maybe I am just abysmally unlucky, but I feel like not coming across a certain weapon type for an entire Act is kind of... odd.

The loot level is a major issue. If feels punishing to play one character and not several at the same time. Low level gear in higher level areas is absurd. The only place to get leveled gear is from the vendor.

Not only that, but even the vendors seem to be missing out on certain item types. I check back every time I level up looking for a withered wand, and they never seem to have any, but will have three or four variations of everything else.

Agree with you entirely.
