Okay /v/, I'm about to start playing PoE for the second time. My first attempt was a few months ago and I didn't get far, couldn't get into it, mainly because I reached the castle part (playing on hard) and got bored of getting slaughtered.
So I want to try again and this time I'm determined to do better. I'm not an experienced player with this sort of game but I think I can hold my own with a bit of practice and more patience.
Advice needed on what build to go for, what to level up first, anything I should really absolutely do in the early game, etc, etc. Also, does the game get more or less interesting the further you get?
Much appreciated.

Get as much deflection, fortitude, reflex and will as possible. Nothing else in the game actually matters.
If those get in the hundrets you can solo steamroll the game because only a handful of enemies can even hurt you at this point.
Cipher is OP as fuck, melee wizard has highest single target dps in game, barbarian is best group dps glass cannon.

If you got bored that quickly while playing on hard then maybe you should play on easy mode? the combat is less tedious that way and you can enjoy the story and characters
as for class go for some spellcaster druid, cipher or mage

I'm too proud to play on easy, though I'll probably start on normal and bump it up and down from hard as required. I'm in it for the story and RP mainly.
For this reason, going Cipher is sounding good if it's OP.

yes go for ranged ciper
wood elf 18 might, int, per and dex
use some good bows or firearms

Get whipser of treson for a level 1 fast cast charm that works on basically every enemy in the game.
Antipathetic field for one of the best dps abilities in the game at level 1. Enjoy the easy ride.
Is this game as bad as rpgcodex says it is?
>>333696524
yes it's the worst game ever
When beating the game on Trial of Iron, I used a fully custom party + sagani, running
2hand tanky war (defensive stance+improved defensive stance, feats used also to specialize with estocs) Player char fire godlike, as fire godlikes have improved damage reduction
1h/shield tanky war (Same build, but axes), Dwarf, because I like dwarves
Priest, dedicated to backlining with a crossbow and healing/buffing
Max damage druid, dwarf. Max str, high int, huge AOE damage.
Dwarf thief, max STR, high dex. Arqebus. Huge sneak attacks.
On all of my damage chars, I got bloody slaughter feat ASAP (playerchar, druid, thief, sagani)
For all characters that will be attacking as part of their main damage, specialize heavily in to a weapon group. Estocs, hunting bows, hammers, and axes are my favorites.
Abuse chokepoints and spec your tanks so they can engage extra opponents
More damage = more damage reduction overcome = more hits that do damage
More accuracy means more crits
Ideally, only my two fighters ever took melee hits
Focus ranged fire on squishy targets; casters, rogues, druids, priests, etc

Didn't cipher became shit in 3.0?

They are the most autistic people I've ever seen. They hate pretty much everything Post-1990.
