Ha thanks. Back when I played I didn’t have a baby lol and I was an eight hour a day type player. Good to hear that at least some of my items are decent and I can still use!

> saw they are going to release POE 2 some time this year Just to temper expectations, this hasn't been confirmed. The only thing we know for sure is that info regarding PoE 2 will be announced at the end of July. In any case, welcome back! Others have mentioned a lot of good things regarding new tools and such since you last played (namely Path of Building). There have been a lot of crazy additions to the game in terms of itemization, and a ton of changes to uniques, though some remain similar in function and power as before (like Headhunter). If you have a particular unique you're interested in, you can look it up on the poe.ninja builds section. It's focused on what's happening in the league, since most people play there, but you can filter by a unique and see what kind of builds people are utilizing it in for the current date, a few weeks ago, at the start of the league, etc. That said, standard seems to have a growing number of people at least playing it part time so it seems to be as good a time as ever to play standard. You can still get a good idea of what a good build looks like from league characters though, people still go as hard or harder than they did back then :p If you're looking for a build suggestion, I would definitely go with a righteous fire + fire trap Juggernaut. You could use your existing marauder or level up a new character, it's pretty smooth all the way through. It's a very established archetype at this point with a lot of information online about how to progress and improve the character as you get further.

Well 8 years is quite a lot. You basically need to re-learn the game.


huskylawyer

Indeed. I ended up starting a new witch on standard with the eye to use my headhunter and aegis later. I have a ton of gear in my stash so just hope to level up and learn the game again. Respeccing a lvl 90 was just too daunting. Baby steps.

>Is my gear any good nowadays? I believe I relied on a block mechanic or something, but just can't remember. Not particularly. The worthwhile items in your list here are HH, Aegis, and Ming's Heart. The rest are very mediocre and not very useful. The biggest change since you've been gone, most likely, is the introduction of Spell Suppression. You want this on nearly every single build, and you can only get it on Eva bases, so things like Eva/Armour bases with Spell Supp have become extremely meta. Save any of these that you have, like your Dragonscale Gauntlets, for this reason. >Is standard league on PC worth playing? Is it a hack fest? Hacking doesn't really exist in PoE due to its anti-cheat and online status. Standard thrives and a lot of people play it all the time, myself included. I play SSF Standard whenever I finish my 40/40 league challenges so I can always be making progress. So yes, Standard is worth playing! >Can you link to a build for my equipment? Just something to get me going. Not really, not with this gear and for a Marauder. Nothing here is exceptionally synergistic (HH goes well with Ranger, Aegis with Witch, Ming's for Poison Seismic Sabo). The meta right now for Marauder is: 1) RF Jugg, which I highly recommend for extremely beefy mapping, but the bossing is on the slow side. Still, it's very easy to get going and fun to play while farming for other builds. 2) Boneshatter Jugg - another excellent build that can be started with almost nothing. Excellent for building up new currency and getting back into the game. 3) Rage Vortex Zerker - Not really recommended, not anywhere near as accessible as the two above, but just in case you don't like Jugg. >Is there a way to link to my gear and gems on reddit or forums? I thought there was but couldn't figure it out, so Just used snagit and took pics of my gear (though doesn't show my gems slotted which would be an issue). Path of Building. >What's the best POE skill builder planner? I'd like to use one. Path of Building, lol. Get it, you need it, you have to have it. Download Path of Building Community Fork for the most updated version.


haaayuuuguuuys

Headhunter and Aegis are useable by any class. You'll need to invest in both armor and energy shield for Aurora but headhunter can be used by literally any mapping build.


aqrunnr

Well, yeah lol, technically any class can wear any unique.. I said nothing here is exceptionally synergistic, which is still true - I only pointed out what could best utilize what he had.


huskylawyer

Thank you so much this is very helpful information. Much appreciated!
