I have been wanting to try this game for quite some time, however, when I've looked into it or started my first character I found I was completely overwhelmed by how far behind my knowledge base was. This video helps and I might finally get something going. Thanks for doing this in 2021!

that's not a skill tree it's a skill forest

[RhubarbRehab]

This is the clearest guide I’ve seen. Thanks.

As a new player, i got very intimidated just from taking one look at the passive tree. But your video helped me understand the game more, and will soon be jumping into my first playthrough. Greatly appreciated man! Thank you!

Just getting into POE. I've played about an hour on my own before realizing I needed some assistance. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It was really informative.

Started playing PoE back in 2014-15 then just suddenly stopped because I literally had no idea what I was doing. Started playing it again today and wow, so much content that it might overwhelm me for a bit. Watching this guide really helps.

[SOULJAJOE]

LITERALLY the first 4 minutes of this video is more than I learned in several hours in game. Excellent guide!! Thank you, learnt a lot of new stuff

[RLooter]

Wow I remember you from D3 videos years ago, funny to see you on top of the recommendations when looking for a PoE guide. Thanks for the video!

[NathanCassidy]

Was looking to get back into PoE after beating Diablo 1 and I gotta say that this and the comments have been a huge help. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this guide! Every other guide goes way too in-depth, explaining too much, and just ends up feeling overwhelming. I really wanna play but its so hard to just find a basic explanation for things. This video really broke everything down so thank you. I've made it to mapping and knew I wasn't setting up my character exactly right, I'm a witch that does minions and I don't need to be the best. I just want to play and enjoy the game without having to copy a build or continue to go blindly through the rest of it. You really explained everything really well though and I know now where I've messed up. Again, thank you!

I wish someone had already made this vid when I tried PoE for the first time, you cover all the basics.

[WatPatat]

Seeing that you uploaded the guide made me click it instantly. Back when I played D3 religiously you pushed my Hungering Arrow gameplay to the next level. I know your content is high quality

[RedDragonFlayer]

My favorite thing in d3 was theory crafting builds using items I find. It looks like I get to enjoy more theory crafting in this game

[iamgeorgesears]

It's shame, GGG or Digital Extremes do not spend time to explain their games properly and people have to rely on YT and Wiki to understand their games. I'm not saying that handholding players is necessary, but the core basics how gems are linked should be crystal clear to anyone trying PoE out. Warframe is guilty of these type of mistakes as well.

Campaign can easy take 10-20 hrs”
me at 30 hrs act 8:

[Herofun]

Thank you for the explaination. I just started playing poe. It looks interesting. Subbed for good explaination.

[zephyroth]

Thank you i'm still downloading it cause its so recommended as a free to play rpg and i didn't know it was this interesting

[kingsrefuge]

The last time I played Piety was the end boss. I never played anything end game. Now I'm back and holly cow things have changed. Reading the world chats with all the abbreviations of items is confusing as hell lol. That would make a good video. Go over all the game abbreviations. I have watched five different beginners guide and this one by far is the best. You get really detailed.

[jason]

Very well done! Thank you, I feel much more confident starting now.

[jfisher]

omg I just started PoE, and I've found some useful, helpful stuff, but imho, there's nothing like the community around D3. so, so glad to see wudi starting to do some guide work in this game. more interested to get back to it, now, after I finish my S22 D3 push and as a break/change of pace during S23.
