How easy is this game to pick up? I enjoyed Diablo 3 and got bored of most games that I've been playing so want something new.
 
Its quite in depth in my opinion but getting started at lower levels and really until you hit the last difficulty (merciless) its not too hard and you could pick any build and cope well.

Ive just had a total nightmare with maps recently and now only have a 73 pool, was using 75s etc to get my hybrid SRS witch to 87 but had terrible luck with drops so levelling is at a standstill!

If you take a build guide from someone, like ziggyd or liftingnerdbro (both are streamers that do build guides for newbies) then its probably easier, however if you pick it up and just go with it, which will probably serve better in the long run, be prepared that your character will fail :)

The game is different to D3, its quite unforgiving if you dont know what you're doing, but i find it very rewarding when you get your build to work and take it to endgame.
 
Having no luck keeping a map pool above 75, in the end I just keep dropping back to those. Doesn't matter how much I chisel, alch, reroll with Chaos, kill every mob and smash every box/chest, it's just spurts of luck that get me to 76 - 78's for a short time then back to the 75's again.

Still really enjoying my Shock Nova build though :)

Tell me about it, i'm pretty much in the same boat.
Still will keep on grinding these maps, luck has to change at some point ;)
 
Just started playing this...finally! I watch a streamer called Morikiopa and he was following LiftingNerdBros dual flame totem build, now following that myself and really enjoying it!
 
Dual flame totem is a great guide for folks starting out in poe, very easy & cheap to build & you can take magic find gear with it to help build some currency for later.

Personally I use neversinks tornado shot ranger but with split arrow for dps, I use tornado shot for the curse on hit set up.

Little tip for folks starting out, the order of importance when gearing is :

Cap resists
Health
Dps.
 
Its a bit daunting to start up with at first. Don't normally see a lot of new char play, its normally maps and such. However I'm just taking it one area at a time and trying to follow the guide.

Just about got my head around gems/support gems/linking up in armor. Many hours to go but much fun to be had I hope :)

I might rephrase that as:

+ Cap resists
+ Health

Open to suggestions guys for the next upgrades/points, mainly using split arrow/fire totem/minions an poison arrow for ele resist mobs.

are you actually running this build right now?
not enough life(25% increased life according to offline tree!!! :eek: )

what defences do you want to use? just pure evasion, no acro?



edit:
i'd go with something like this for now, question is i take you'll be going crit?
https://www.pathofexile.com/fullscr...dqOHb45_nCudU53To1u0_7YPvevPq9qP-Hf66_sj_3g==
will you be running power charges (kinda need to)? do you need the piercing? went for acro for the double dodge/evasion.
it's quite similiar to my build right now. (https://www.pathofexile.com/fullscr...h2-Of5oHnCudU53To1upi6xTtP-2D73rz6vaj_rr-yP_e ) but i'm running voltaxic LA crit
