If you equip scepter with skeleton skill and also skeleton skill from crystal by the end of act 1 you get 5, maybe 6. less if you use other minions or passive skills.
And, it's not gonna be enough, they had a "great" idea of everything having like 5 times more HP than it should so every fight is absolute slog. Don't even ask about bosses, they are slightly easier than PoE end game bosses, BUT THIS IS ACT 1, you gonna dodge hundreds of times and boss fights are also 5 times longer than they should. Oh, and skeletons are also frail so boss just smack them and go for you, you cannot spam them and they are ignored by most mobs who just go for you.
It's a good thing PoE1 will still be running, sounds like that game is more your speed
Nah PoE1 has crippling QoL issues, Last Epoch is currently my favourite hack & slash
I thought LE had a similar pacing to what little I've played of PoE2 so far, but it's been a while
I think it lies somewhere between PoE1 and PoE2 in pacing, though that strongly depend on build. I played few that was basically PoE1 cathegory "delete 2 screen worth of mobs at once" and one "basically facetank all but one or two bosses but it take ages" tanky. Though imo strongest part of LE which i already see PoE2 failed incredibly hard is game difficulty scaling. LE can be as hard as you want or are able to go, PoE2 makes you shit bricks in act one of story.
I wish this was true. POE 1 is my favorite game ever. GGG was supposed to release the next POE 1 expansion this month but they delayed it until March. In the past, POE 1 expansions lasted for 3 months. By the time the current POE 1 expansion ends, it will have run for 7 months. We lost an entire POE 1 expansion because of this POE 2 release and it's likely GGG will cut POE 1 development even more.
Damn that was my favorite thing about PoE just filling a room with skeletons and watching the chaos
I mean witch is possibly the strongest class, but most opinions are that minions are underwhelming.
