looking to mix it up and get off wow and was thinking of doing POE.

is now a good time to start or is there a new season starting soon, would hate to grind and have a reset shortly after startring.

thanks for any help/info/opinons

Get some practice before the new league starts, but don't invest too much fg.

yes its good. new season end of the month and it will be a very long one so perfect to ease into the game. The first 300-400 hours of the game are super enjoyable and addicting as crack.

I got a key for you if you want for 1k fg

if u know very little about the game and have free time, find a good leveling build and test it. (:
But may 29 we gonna have a new season to play.

starting now will be nice just to get understanding on quest and your build etc
grinding currency and/or gear is pointless imo

i been doin speed runs from maps to endgame in HC testing diff builds, got a few down to under 5 hours complete.

Huntress nado and sorc lightning and witch edc were my favs atm.

Good time to practice, but like Yakir said, grinding for gear and currency prolly isnt best idea, just have fun and mess around and get a feel / rdy for may 29th.

Caution: poe2 is addicting :D
