Path of Exile - upcoming F2P Daiablo clone

[Syt]

Been chilling with POE1 over the weekend. Taking it casual and slow, only made it to map tier 6 so far with a Cyclone/Shockwave build. Even managed to get the final labyrinth on first try (normally I get caught one trap or other ... and I notice that the "suffer damage when using movement skill" doesn't seem to apply to cyclone anymore ... it was a bane for me in the past).

I like that maps are now just "tiers" and you don't have to spend crazy time grinding for that one elusive map you want/need.

Though the amount of mechanics is a bit crazy. Breaches and monoliths and incursions and delirium and fungal growths and Syndicate and Expeiditions and Trial Shrines and Ultimatum and ... and ... and ....

... often two or three or four per per map (plus the usual storage chests or "frozen" essence mobs , plus current Mirage which then lets you re-run some of them. Plus Heists, Delve, the Forbidden Sanctum ...

It's a lot (I know you can disable/favor some of them via Atlas tree, but so far I just go with it.)

Still taking an extended break did me some good in terms of enjoying the game.

Side note, in previous leagues I sometimes looked for build inspirations, but often failed to get a key item - Quill Rain ... guess what item I got this time when I don't need it?
