U4GM What to Pick in PoE 2 Act 3 4 Rewards - Alam560 - 11.01.2026

Keeping up with the newest Path of Exile 2 footage, you quickly realise the campaign isn't just "the bit before maps" anymore. It's more like a slow tutorial that turns into a real test, and it starts with those early, swappable bonuses that let you tinker without panic. You can try a risky setup, hate it, and pivot. That flexibility matters, especially when you're also learning what drops are worth caring about and what to stash for later, like PoE 2 Currency  that can smooth out rough gearing patches.

When the game stops letting you undo it
Then Act 3 and Act 4 roll in and the tone shifts. No more "test it and see." The rewards become permanent, and suddenly every choice feels like it's going to follow you into endgame mapping. It's not just picking a stat to make numbers go up. It's picking what kind of death you're trying to avoid. The scary part is how normal it feels at first, right up until a boss tags you once and your whole plan collapses.

The defensive trio that actually matters
That Act 3 defensive trio is where people get loud: Stun Threshold, Elemental Ailment Threshold, or Mana Regeneration. Mana regen sounds comfy, sure, but comfort doesn't help if you're locked in place. For most melee and life-based setups, Stun Threshold is the boring pick that keeps you alive. You get clipped, you don't lose control, you keep moving, you keep leeching. Watch a heavy physical slam fight and it's obvious. Get stunned at the wrong moment and you're not "almost dead," you're dead.

Why Energy Shield builds should think differently
Energy Shield changes the whole argument. Stuns still suck, but elemental ailments can be the real shutdown, especially Ignite. When you're burning, your shield isn't doing its job the way you want it to, and that long burn can feel like someone hit the off switch on your recovery. That's why Elemental Ailment Threshold starts looking like the smarter defensive layer for ES characters. It's one of those choices you don't notice until you've had a run where everything's fine… then one ailment ruins the next ten seconds.
Loot, gold, and the new kind of planning

Seeing gold drop alongside crafting items is still a weird sight, but it explains the direction: a hybrid economy where vendors matter again, and your crafting currency still carries weight for fixing gear and pushing upgrades. It also makes the campaign choices feel even sharper, because you can't cover every weakness at once. You patch the hole that's killing you most, farm smarter, and move on. And if you're short on key resources during that awkward mid-campaign stretch, a marketplace like U4GM  can help players pick up currency or items so they can keep their build on track without stalling out.
