Spear / Huntress is the worst levelling experience I've had in poe 1 or 2

No YT vids on min/max "combos" (Spear/Huntress) etc.

Give it some more time.


You shouldn't need to figure out optimal combos or have minmaxed gear to efficiently clear white/trash monsters


It's sheer trolling, just don't fall for the bait. And if somehow GGG sides with these antagonist, just leave it be even if it's saddening. Vote with your wallet. The worst thing that can happen to GGG is if you totally stop caring. And if they've lost touch with reality, the stop of the money flowing might wake them up.
I dont understand this at all. Playing Huntress , lv 10 now, Very smooth and fun. Need to use the skills not stab,stab,stab. Grim Tangle took 3 mins to clear at lv8(Finding the boss and kill) Explosive spear+Whirling slash+disengage/Dodge out for explosion.Spear throw/Twister ranged.(Block seems pretty useless tbh)
But this critique is common the first day, takes some time to figure out playstyle. If I want to just run fast and kill all without having to think I play D4 instead. (Only blue gear so far)
Anyways, take some time to find a playstyle with a new class.

I'm lvl 23 and at the big giant boss act 2.... Man it takes forever to kill anything and I even invested in some gear... I run lightning spear with herald and it is just unbelievably boring and slow. I give up on it. Maybe if they throw a buff patch I'll come back. ATM, as a dad I do not need the stress in the little amount of time I got to play. Fk it.
I'm in act4, rough points, but it's doable.

1. early game, spear field is pretty OP against moving monsters
2. setup explosive spear (expedite/overbundance) + storm lance (scatter/tempo). yes it's a combo. it's just pushing 2 buttons in a rhythm. it does damage. not fantastic but it will work
3. def get amazon ascendancy as soon as you feel confident. it jacked my 6% crit to 26% and I didn't invest anything

It just doesn't do enough damage.

Default attack does at least double any skill damage. I am not a fan at all of this. I don't ever want to use default attacks tbh, they are boring. Having them as the number one damage dealer is a very strange design decision to me.

Twister looks and feels amazing but it barely tickles enemies.

Rake feels good but bleed is awful and it doesn't have enough range for the lunge.

Explosive shot has too long of a fuse and new projectiles deleting old ones without detonating them feels really bad. If you hold down the skill button for explosive spear; you just throw infinite spears that never explode. lol.

I don't want to engage with Parry or frenzy charges or detonater skills but it feels forced to have one of these combo/spender/generator things going on.

I want to throw spears, stab with spears and shoot twisters everywhere but it looks like that is not going to work out.

Every fight is a slog.

The ascendancy feels like it needs a massive overhaul right out of the gate.

Funny my experience is opposite. If you use its focus on alternating ranged and close range you get some 60% more damage and it become VERY efficient on leveling
Huntress is absolute garbage...

1. Parry? Seriously? This isn't supposed to be Kingdom of Deliverance or Assassins Creed...

2. Underpowered garbage early skills.

3. Games should be fun, huntress is not fun.

4. Stop trying to be cute with parry/disengage mechanics...they do not work in ARPG's.
the ascendancy notes are fine its the skills that are problematic im permanently out of mana and do not really do any dmg, even with "invested" leveling gear.
its not just the huntress, most of the classes are having a hard time.... feels bad to play like this.... a mosquito is harder to kill than a boss fight!
I honestly think they didn’t even bother to play the game before releasing 0.2 to test it. Either that or we aren’t playing the same game as the testing team.

Literally 2 hours in yesterday I knew this wasn’t good.

I was running around jabbing things with my normal attack because it did more damage than my skill gems. Also getting explosive spear as your first skill gem, trying to get the mobs to hold still for it to detonate. I was like is this fricking serious?

They won't stop, they want you to play this way.
Can't you see, they nerfed all one-click/annihilate entire screen builds to the point of unplayable and introduced this dogshit.
