Hey, just picked this up finally a few days ago and I'm loving it so far. I've played Diablo and a bit of Torchlight but never PoE. So there's a few things that are a little confusing to me but I'm enjoying it. I'm near the end of the campaign or at least I think I am. Playing a lich so far, I've tried out a shaman, paladin, and runemaster. But lich and shaman are my favorite so far.

I'm trying not to follow any guides so far. I've looked at a few to get ideas but I'm trying to just enjoy the leveling. I think I respec too often though. I keep running out of money trying to shatter things, respec, and buying stash tabs.

I don't have much more to say just saw the community and it was pretty quiet so I figured I'd make a post, see if people are around and maybe find some people to ask questions to if there's anyone watching the community here.

All really good questions! The easiest answer for damage is focus first on your general damage (spells vs physical) and go from there. Remember that spell crit and regular crit are different, and damage over time cant crit. You typically want +stats in addition to your damage types, so lich usually benefits from +int, then probably +spell damage, and +poison damage.

Make sure to pay close attention to the skill tags, hover over your skills and see what they are. Lich in particular is cool but a little difficult to master, she excels in low life, ward based builds, and necrotic is a little easier to pump out damage usually.

Shaman is situationally fun once you figure it out! Flat totem damage, go thorn totem, get 5 points in beastmaster, use the spriggan form. Theres a way to get like 10 thorn and 2 storm totems :)

And get critical strike avoidance or minus bonus crit damage! Get one of those to 100%
