Nothing better than a beginner's guide through the eyes of a beginner

Rax, after 10 minutes of listening, I can say that you are the most listenable person out of all the people who make guides. I play poe well myself, but I watch it like a good movie :D Please, the poe community needs more guides like this.

As an absolute POE beginner, I have just 100 hours on the clock. I had already watched a few guides on YouTube beforehand. But I have to honestly say that yours is the best so far. Thanks for that and keep up the good work.

Why does this guy only have 319k subs? He should be around 5-10 mil subs. I've been searching for a guide and this is the only video that makes any sense to me. Thank you for taking the time and make a video like this. I'm still downloading the game and can't wait to play.

As a poe player this is an extremely good guide for new players.

Raxx playing path is exciting for the poe community! No one else can explain things like him. He's very thorough and clear. Loved your d4 content and looking forward to your poe content.

Friend sent me this video. I probably would have broke my monitor if not for this video and going back and rewatching parts of it a few times. You asked for honest feed back and mine is nothing but appreciation for what you put together. About a week into the game and very much so enjoying it. I don’t do much on YouTube but I did subscribe and I hope that helps you out some. Thank you for taking your time putting this together for new players.

I've tried PoE off and on for years and never felt like I had enough of a guide to really get into it fully, but this video was definitely a push in the right direction. Awesome guide and I appreciate you taking the time to make it. Personally, I'd rather watch one 1-hour long guide video than 10+ 5min videos bouncing from person to person who might have different advice or guides to choose from. I think you did a good job of eliminating the "99%" for new players and explaining the main things. Maybe you could make a series of guides based on that idea of what % of the game you're diving into and what type of player might benefit from what % of the game being explained. Overall great stuff-thanks a lot!

Hey Raxx, I've been a player for last 7 years and I must say this is probably one of the best beginner guides to this game, I've recommended it to 2 friends and theyve started to play so thank-you! Always make things seem simple and hey even I learned a few tips 😅❤

As a poe player i can say, this is a great guide. Just one thing: in the lab trial (your class ascension thingy), click the altar in the last room in the north-west corner. that's what's actually giving you the special class points. i just left without doing that on my first character and was really confused...and then had to do the lab again and also (this is only relevant for a small amount of people): if you are someone who really likes to learn and tackle challenges, maybe NOT following a guide could actually be way more fun for you. i tried to get into this game like 4 times while following a guide and always was really bored and quit in like act 2/3. doing it my own way and making my own trash build, that couldn't get past white maps, was actually more fun and made the game click for me. but again, this is probably not the case for most people

Super good guide, thank you Raxx. It was exactly what I needed to get over the hump of starting PoE. Definitely saved multiple hours of confusion by having everything I need in one place. Please do more PoE guides

Rax you just earned yourself another subscriber. This was well put, I was one of those players that got very overwhelmed by everything bout POE but you made it very understandable for beginner. Literally made a SRS guardian, followed the guide to almost the T, on maxroll and with your help as well. I was able to finish the class and able to enjoy endgame content, and im greatly overjoy because its all thanks to you. Now I'm enjoying my class, found the Pale Seraphim and now im just doing atlas maps and also looking for the Arena Master. And Ill be honest I WOULD NEVER GOT THIS FAR, if I hadnt stayed on this video for the entire duration of your video. Thank you so much!

Ty @Raxx. You will definitely be an asset to the community with content like this.

Honestly, this guide has really helped me a lot. I just hit Act 6 and am dying instantly, now I know why due to the resistances. It also showed me that the character I created was in the standard league, not in the affliction league, so everything I have done was for nought, but that is okay, it has given me a great base knowledge to push forward with it. I would love a little more in depth, at some point, on trading and maxing currencies, but you have provided an AMAZING start to the process. I have watched your content for a long time now, from D3 through where we are in D4 and now with POE. God tier content, my friend. Your passion and care for the community and making the game better for everyone, and way less confusing, is a godsend to many players that would otherwise give up. Thank you so much, and I absolutely look forward to more content in both D4 and POE from you in the future. Thank you for all you do.

The way you summarized and explained is the best i ever heard. Good Job. A true beginner guide from a beginner. Keep the videos coming! Easy to follow easy to understand!

really appreciate how much time went into this Raxx, I've tried to watch other youtubers explain PoE but you are on a next level with your clarity

I'm only halfway through this and it's more concise and better laid out than any beginner guide I've watched. You have no idea how much of a blessing this is. Thanks so much Raxx!

Raxx... TRULY WELL DONE. I have a good number of hours in this game at this point and still learned so much from this! Love ya for D4 but am so happy you're here now as well. Please do more! Great work.

Incredible guide, probably the best I've found so far. Tried getting into PoE a few years back during the Bestiary league and just couldn't get past the initial wall after watching an entire playlist worth of guides. Your video condenses the essential info to get the ball rolling and enjoying the game, which is the nº1 thing a new PoE player seems to need. Currently waiting for the Necropolis league to drop so that I can roll a brand new char and dive into it, so I'm just watching some more videos in the meantime to get ready. Great work!
