If you’re dying a lot, everywhere, check your life and resistances. Try and keep your resists capped and get as much life as you can.If you aren’t doing any damage, check your gem links POE currency trade . Every additional linked socket increases your damage exponentially, so sometimes it’s worth having crummy stats on your body armor if you can go from 4 links to 5.Bleed damage stops if you stop moving. The tooltips for debuffs are useless, and there are many more examples of this, but this one gets new players the most, especially in the lab.If you’re dying to green stuff, it’s probably your chaos resist.Make sure you have a movement skill. The non-damage links are easy to overlook early on, but getting flame dash or blink arrow online will save your bacon.Try and wean yourself off life and mana flasks as quickly as you can. I’ll often use two life, two mana, and a quicksilver flask to start with, but each one of those you can replace with a damage or defense flask is a big deal. Keep your eyes peeled for mana on hit or leech in your passive tree.
There is a ton more I could talk about here, but I’m already concerned my editor is going to shoot me into the sun. League mechanics, master missions, pinnacle bosses, and more await you. Hopefully this guide can be a springboard to get you started in Path of Exile, and maybe just die less than Zizaran.
