Nothing better than a beginner's guide through the eyes of a beginner

[synapsenblocker]

As an absolute POE beginner, I have just 100 hours on the clock. I had already watched a few guides on YouTube beforehand. But I have to honestly say that yours is the best so far. Thanks for that and keep up the good work.

[loveandhate]

Rax, after 10 minutes of listening, I can say that you are the most listenable person out of all the people who make guides. I play poe well myself, but I watch it like a good movie :D Please, the poe community needs more guides like this.

[treadsoftly]

Friend sent me this video. I probably would have broke my monitor if not for this video and going back and rewatching parts of it a few times. You asked for honest feed back and mine is nothing but appreciation for what you put together. About a week into the game and very much so enjoying it. I don’t do much on YouTube but I did subscribe and I hope that helps you out some. Thank you for taking your time putting this together for new players.

[altibzz]

As a poe player this is an extremely good guide for new players.

[kevinmorgan]

I've tried PoE off and on for years and never felt like I had enough of a guide to really get into it fully, but this video was definitely a push in the right direction. Awesome guide and I appreciate you taking the time to make it. Personally, I'd rather watch one 1-hour long guide video than 10+ 5min videos bouncing from person to person who might have different advice or guides to choose from. I think you did a good job of eliminating the "99%" for new players and explaining the main things. Maybe you could make a series of guides based on that idea of what % of the game you're diving into and what type of player might benefit from what % of the game being explained. Overall great stuff-thanks a lot!

[dylanharpole]

Raxx playing path is exciting for the poe community! No one else can explain things like him. He's very thorough and clear. Loved your d4 content and looking forward to your poe content.

[heehawcowboy]

This is how you make a great guide. Real talk easy to understand. Not all the extra lingo to confuse you even more. Its like your best friend talking to you.

[darkwolfrc]

Hey Raxx, I've been a player for last 7 years and I must say this is probably one of the best beginner guides to this game, I've recommended it to 2 friends and theyve started to play so thank-you! Always make things seem simple and hey even I learned a few tips 😅❤

[chancevu]

Why does this guy only have 319k subs? He should be around 5-10 mil subs. I've been searching for a guide and this is the only video that makes any sense to me. Thank you for taking the time and make a video like this. I'm still downloading the game and can't wait to play.

[Zabuza]

As a poe player i can say, this is a great guide.

Just one thing: in the lab trial (your class ascension thingy), click the altar in the last room in the north-west corner. that's what's actually giving you the special class points. i just left without doing that on my first character and was really confused...and then had to do the lab again

and also (this is only relevant for a small amount of people):
if you are someone who really likes to learn and tackle challenges, maybe NOT following a guide could actually be way more fun for you. i tried to get into this game like 4 times while following a guide and always was really bored and quit in like act 2/3. doing it my own way and making my own trash build, that couldn't get past white maps, was actually more fun and made the game click for me.
but again, this is probably not the case for most people

[FroztXplicitZ]

Rax you just earned yourself another subscriber. This was well put, I was one of those players that got very overwhelmed by everything bout POE but you made it very understandable for beginner. Literally made a SRS guardian, followed the guide to almost the T, on maxroll and with your help as well. I was able to finish the class and able to enjoy endgame content, and im greatly overjoy because its all thanks to you. Now I'm enjoying my class, found the Pale Seraphim and now im just doing atlas maps and also looking for the Arena Master. And Ill be honest I WOULD NEVER GOT THIS FAR, if I hadnt stayed on this video for the entire duration of your video. Thank you so much!

[atrope]

Ty @Raxx. You will definitely be an asset to the community with content like this.

[rianbarnes]

Much appreciated on this Rax. Great guide and I stopped playing POE years ago because it was too complicated, at least I thought it was. Now I’m blasting with a filter, way less stress and just playing the game as it was intended. So fun

[stressfulpeacegaming]

Honestly, this guide has really helped me a lot. I just hit Act 6 and am dying instantly, now I know why due to the resistances. It also showed me that the character I created was in the standard league, not in the affliction league, so everything I have done was for nought, but that is okay, it has given me a great base knowledge to push forward with it. I would love a little more in depth, at some point, on trading and maxing currencies, but you have provided an AMAZING start to the process. I have watched your content for a long time now, from D3 through where we are in D4 and now with POE. God tier content, my friend. Your passion and care for the community and making the game better for everyone, and way less confusing, is a godsend to many players that would otherwise give up. Thank you so much, and I absolutely look forward to more content in both D4 and POE from you in the future. Thank you for all you do.

[bossbaldi]

Yo Rax, I just started playing PoE. This guide has helped me TREMENDOUSLY. It gave me a foundation and a base. Something extremely important for noobs like me. U didn’t give too much information to b overwhelmed. Thank you bro. This guide was helpful beyond belief, keep workin hard and helpng out the minority!

[boydivision]

I was a Diablo 4 player, and now (mostly thanks to You), I'm a D4 refugee in POE. The game is overwhelming at first, but I found out that You just don't have to be a monster in the first build. Just have fun. I liked Your video, because I trust your content and it validated my choices through the game. Thanks in advance for future videos like this.

[debf]

The one thing this game truly needs are easily understood beginners tutorials. THANK YOU!

[robe]

I'm only halfway through this and it's more concise and better laid out than any beginner guide I've watched. You have no idea how much of a blessing this is. Thanks so much Raxx!
