Love this game I’m not great at it I’m level 13 fighting the executioner and he keeps kicking my ass any tips ?

I play on ps5 im a witch walking around with two archer skeletons and some bone wall circle spear spell that kicks ass 😀

Can't be kicking too much ass if you're getting domed.

Early game if you don't have the right stats on some of your stuff and are slow to react with evade, it's a bit punishing. Your second playthrough with some boosted items will help a ton. If you link your build and dm me a way to contact you {easiest through Discord} I can give you a few things tonight to help your journey a bit.

Yer I’m not kicking too much arse I just like the spell 😅

Any help would be greatly appreciated I have discord my account is

I do find the game great it’s so much more fun then d2r I’ve become very bored of that game currently.

You are 100% the game isn’t very forgiving at all it’s very very tough

I play on ps5 also which I’ve been told isn’t great to play on

Also any builds you could recommend would be great to follow as I made a witch as I like the idea of it but haven’t a clue how the game works 😂

I understand I’m not gonna be a pro but some guidance would rock thank you

Essence drain, contagion is a pretty cool leveling build, and you can combo it to keep your skeletons too. Early game I just equip a scepter and a wand just to roll with both. You can google guides just to cruise around, but this is an example of one https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/essence-drain-lich-leveling-build-guide
I was hearing alot of people combo in bone storm for actually boss killing, I'm gonna test this on my next toon I level.

on the first plaaytrough if you aare neww to the game or not using metaa leveling setup you have to rely on learning boss mechanic and avoidd them aas they are very powerfull and intendded to be dodged
late gaame some can be tanked if you are using some gamebreaking techs
best tips is to not sit on your currencies try to upgraded asa much as possible
lvl 18 and 28 are good for upgrading as they give great spikes
