I loved PoE and plowed though it back when it came out of beta on a hard difficulty setting. Now that The White March is out I'd like to return to it and play the expansion. However I found myself really bouncing off the game when I gave it a shot again. I think this is because a lot of the skills and systems in the game have been reworked over the past year and also because there are just so many skills and spells when you're jumping in to play high level characters (and I just don't remember which ones are good). Does anyone have suggestions on how to ease back in to the game after an extended break? I looked at a lot of the Steam guides and didn't see anything particularly useful (but maybe I missed a good one). Thanks for your advice!
