[trim turret]

The short I found of that is 8 months old so more thorns builds have likely emerged since then.

[limber tinsel]

is there an updated guide for map layouts during campaign for fast campaign ?

[trim turret]

Layouts are changing in a week.

[limber tinsel]

I know they change but some of the layouts do have static base layout (Grelwood checkpoints are mostly square layout every patch) . Also I just wanna have an idea on what optional stuff can I skip (don't need to do worm boss in mud burrow If I don't need extra skill gem) etc ... I'm just looking for like an overall guide for trying to get through campaign fast

[trim turret]

I mean some base layouts are changing, act 3 is getting re-structured, some areas are getting new exits. You can check the wiki for quest rewards that are worth doing or just do the ones that give permanent upgrades and have the + symbol on the map.

[quartz hearth]

why im not getting skill points????

its the 3rd ascendency

is this a bug?

[hearty walrus]

need to do 3rd floor

[quartz hearth]

ohh okay thank you

[knotty lava]

Is it preferable to tackle vaal ruins early or mid game?

[full timber]

at any point when you have 6 beacons tbh

[oblique wyvern]

Not a new player at all but I respecced and accidentally gutted my single-target damage, so now I'm struggling to kill the last campaign boss (Cuachic Vault). Is anyone willing to carry me?

[maiden spire]

question what do i do in the vaal temple i just finished clearing what i could

[oblique wyvern]

then you're done!

Do another 6 circles and run it again

it'll get bigger and harder each time

[maiden spire]

how do i do that

[oblique wyvern]

you can find one circle per zone

so you just continue the campaign

[oblique wyvern]

Yup. You're done. Leave.

[maiden spire]

so the progression is permanent?

[oblique wyvern]

I'm not sure what you're asking

[maiden spire]

the areas i put down before i went in

[oblique wyvern]

Yeah, some of those will be deleted, most stay until next time

[hearty walrus]

some rooms might destabilise (get deleted) when you leave

[maiden spire]

ok cool a lot of thing changed since 0.2 and now it feels a lot better

[trim turret]

Big update coming next week that will be changing a lot.

[manic marten]

silly question probably, but is there a regex for talismans? I was checking the poe2 re website and I don't see any 'talisman' category

[maiden spire]

what does rage do?

[manic marten]

basically gives you more attack, think of it like an additional 30% attack when you get 30 Rage

[maiden spire]

thx

[trim turret]

You can hold ALT and mouse over underlined words for more info.

[oblique wyvern]

Please, I'm still stuck on the same boss, I really need a carry 😭

[plush tangle]

Upgrade your weapon that’s easy extra dps

[oblique wyvern]

my weapon is alright

[plush tangle]

Wow what’s the struggle then if not dmg

[oblique wyvern]

No it's damage, my build just doesn't really work yet. I'm doing a janky detonate dead build paired with sacrifice, blowing my own minions up. I've got lvl 19 brutes with about 6k health, but it's still not enough damage at all for these two, since they both have healing methods, and my minions take a few seconds to revive. I get clear speed by killing weak enemies and then detonating those to finish off the tankier ones, but these guys don't have any adds either, so I'm in a pickle.

[plush tangle]

Try in game world chat if someone can join

Or get a single target skill

[full flax]

Hey whats the thing that makes my summons spawn corpses? I can't remember if its a notable or something else

Wtf is this jamanara guy

He just randomly 1 taps me

[trim turret]

How are your resists?

He does a lot of lightning.

[full flax]

NVM WHOPPED HIS ASS

Yeah i noticed, i basically have none

[trim turret]

Resists and life. Check vendors, use artificer's orbs and runes, use crafting currency.

[full flax]

I've mostly been trying to hold on to the few uniques ive gotten

I've got 580 life and 150 shields

[trim turret]

Unique doesn't automatically mean good. Getting max life and resistances are the bare minimum of survival.

[gilded veldt]

I don't know if this is allowed, the content creator isn't myself, but I totally recommend anybody new to the game to check out Lolcohol's last three or four videos about PoE2, the dude does a very good job of explaining the crafting system in a digestible way in one, and gives good info on campaign progression combat and defense wise in two others. The crafting one in particular is extremely helpful for understanding the system.

By far the best resource I have found as far as videos go for it.

[full flax]

Hey how much health is my bogfelled commoner supposed to have?

[opaque iron]

Did you bind one that spawned from the unique boss? If not it'll have lower HP

Check poe2db for this info, should be able to find both variants

[full flax]

Yeah i did

Some wiki said like 11k

The first i pulled had 1k, the second has 5k

[mellow ore]

man i wish the characters were customizable

[hearty walrus]

there's cosmetics

[sharp jewel]

Is there a tech help channel by chance? havent played in a few months comming back and some settings are definitely off....

[desert reef]

Anyone down to practice campaign speed run for league start?

[hearty walrus]

be careful with that since a lot of layouts are changing

[desert reef]

Did ggg say that? Hopefully smaller layouts lol

[hearty walrus]

#poe2-news message

[solid tusk]

okay i and doing the build Level Faster with tips from POE2's FASTEST player that zizaran was show how to level faster. do not kno what support gems and gear items i need since build guide only show where put skill points in the tree.

[knotty lava]

Jamanra is unforgiving

Oh my days ive died 20 times

And im running lightning too

[inner jewel]

Anyone play on steam deck?

[opaque iron]

buddy does, good for rerolling, casual farming. probably dont go opening any abyssal overrun maps

[prime birch]

is gas grenade still a good option ?

[lament plinth]

Hello! Not sure where to post this. but planning to play when the update hits. I have a few questions.

a. How is the coop content? Can we play from start to finish?
b. Will there be a scaling of enemies, their health? What else gets scaled?
c. Is there another way to get an access key aside from buying from the store? My friend is looking forward to playing with me but I only bought the early access one.

Thank you so much!

[flat mist]

everything but the very first zone (3 mins)
hp and loot gets scaled
im not sure what you're asking

[solar wyvern]

I wish someone would post footage of deck running endgame, it 99.99% just the first three areas of act 1 as benchmarks

[trail matrix]

there are giveaways in places like reddit so your buddy can try getting lucky with one of these

[solar wyvern]

you aren't forced to solo anything but the area you spawn in, but there may be situations where only the party leader gets certain rewards in the endgame.

I think Ritual is one example of the party leader getting the loot

there's technically couch coop so if your friend is like next door

[lament plinth]

Ohhh. Thank you! I will ask him to keep an eye on reddit. He badly wants to play that sometimes I do not tell him I am playing so he won’t be envious. 😅

[lament plinth]

Will they fix it on the coming update? Not sure where but I read endgame is quite difficult or unfair when it comes to coop?

[solar wyvern]

if you're playing with a friend it's not really a problem

[lament plinth]

Oh uhh a neighboring city sadly.

[solar wyvern]

coop with strangers is not good in poe

its better than it used to be, but less than good

[earnest pendant]

question. whats the point in classes? just the starting point on the skill tree? or is there like exclusive things

its been awhile since i played

[quick pike]

yeah ,starting point and more importantly the ascendancies (subclasses)

[earnest pendant]

but any class can use any weapons and gems?

[vivid hornet]

i see alot of people making league starters and guides for 0.5, is it worth doing it even before it launches? should i start playing now is it worth

[quick pike]

people were waiting for the patch notes to make build guides and plan for a build , you could to practice/learn ,but at the league start you would have to make a new character to play in the 0.5 league , standard gets all the content except the new league mechanic

[vivid hornet]

oke

[tidal mural]

Theres no new bosses in maps are there? Like all bosses are covered in campaign?

[opaque iron]

Some have variants such as lightning Blackjaw found in the tower map and frozen falls or glacier I forget

Otherwise you should have seen every boss design afaik

[tidal mural]

Good to know!

[full oracle]

there are Pinnacle bosses

[tidal mural]

Oh the sekhemas and chaos i suppose

[full oracle]

those are Zarokh and Trial Master , which I think also technically count as Pinnacle

there is Arbiter of Ash and the new Arbiter of Divinity

there is also Pinnacle boss for each of the engame mechanics
Xesht, Orloth, King in the Mists, Simulactrum, Kulemak, Atziri

there is also new Pinnacle bosses coming in 0.5 that will be above those mechanic bosses

[tidal mural]

Ah the old alt+f4 trick, still funny after 30 years lol

How come people are showing up on my screen in hardcore ssf? Thought you couldnt party?

Er maybe i cant and it just shows them

[full flax]

Alright the ai is starting to bullshit. How much health should i as a witch have at act 3?

[full oracle]

its not just about health, its all of your defences combined.
resistances also become very high impact in act 3

[full flax]

Ok Gemini says lightning and fire is a problem here?

[full oracle]

I wouldnt trust AI when it comes to build specifics , it can be very outdated and will give you advice based on something that was changed months ago

[opaque iron]

500-900

[full flax]

Well alright im at 700

Also should i take mind over matter,

[opaque iron]

depends, it makes it harder to sustain mana but there are some ways to get around this

essence harvest support + infernal legion on skeletal warriors is one way, mana remnants is another way

probably just avoid it for now and rely on a solid Life Flask with some amount of Instant Recovery

and make sure you do not have a troll flask mod such as "removes from mana when pressed" or "give healing to your minions"

700 hp and resistances above 0 should allow you to spam flasks through most dangerous encounters, but not all. apex of filth boss, utzaal boss, and end of act boss will all hurt for about that much if you arent careful

[west carbon]

hi, quick question: how complete is the game currently? Is there a full campaign, and is it worth hopping in now?

[trim turret]

You should always be looking to improve your resistances. Lightning, fire, and cold should be as close to capped as possible at all times.

[trim turret]

4 out of 6 acts in the campaign with placeholders and endgame is getting a massive overhaul on Friday.

[west carbon]

oh and another question: is this game actually slower paced (leans closer into dark souls compared to poe1), my gripe with most arpgs is the chaos and insane ad clear spinny builds

[trim turret]

It definitely starts slower but speeds up, but there is also more of an emphasis on combos instead of holding down one button. Depending on the build of course.

New league on Friday will be a great place to jump in and most purchases are shared between POE1 and POE2 if you already have stash tabs or anything.

[west carbon]

good to know, i might hop in because monk seems very interesting, also waiting for a rogue and a sword class

[trim turret]

There's Ranger and Huntress already. There is no rogue class. New full classes will likely be december unless they surprise us.

[west carbon]

i know there isnt a rogue class, but do you mean currently or ever?

[trim turret]

There will be no class called a rogue. But what is it you're expecting when you say rogue?

[west carbon]

i mean a rogue-archetype class

shadow from poe1 is rogue

[trim turret]

Shadow will also be coming.

D1, the rogue was the bow wielder. It means different things to different people. And we already have bows and all classes can use all skills and items and there is instant skill/weapon swapping with weapon sets for build variety.

[west carbon]

is following a build as important as the first game

[trim turret]

Not if you're reading stuff and finding synergies and not ignoring your life and resistances.

[west carbon]

alright

thanks

[buoyant fable]

is guythatdies a good youtuber? gonna follow this build
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf6aG0ZbGOQ&t=178s

[full oracle]

he is a great , but is a speed runner, so I wouldnt really recommend his guides for new players
he is mostly focusing on completion speed and new players should be playing slower and learn all the mechanics on the way, but you can still learn a bunch from his videos

[knotty lava]

I need some help on Jamanra boss in ACT 2
Armored, fire resistant and lightning resistant.
But here's the problem, im running a full on lightning build

I get to 50% hp on boss and then it gets tricky

Not to mention getting one shot when I have 60% lighting resistant

[trim turret]

Use a curse or exposure to reduce resists. Or get lightning penetration. Builds punch through defenses, they don't usually change damage types.

If you have 60% res and he's one shotting you need more life or you aren't avoiding the big windup attacks where he glows red.

[knotty lava]

Ahh I see, I believe i have some elemental penetration albeit not enough to deal viable damage

[trim turret]

You may just not have enough damage. Depends on gear, passives, gems.

[knotty lava]

I will have to go back to another map for lvl31 and farm some equipment

Specifically my gloves are low levels

[trim turret]

Level doesn't matter, the stats on them do.

Check vendors.

Use crafting currency.

[knotty lava]

Im gonna have to farm some crafting materials. I have jewels to augument

[trim turret]

Jewels require jewel slots which require passive points. You're better off getting passives and just try to get life and resists on all gear via transmutes, augments, checking vendors, using runes, etc.

[knotty lava]

On my tree I already have an open jewel slot, figured i try to tweak the jewel for some elemental penetration

[fringe scroll]

Yesterday I was in act4 town, freshly logged in, I hit / to get a search going, and before I could start the search all the audio in my game cut out. It came back after a restart but happened a couple more times after that. I remember this happening in some conditions in POE1 as well. Is there a known fix for the audio dropout issue?

[solid tusk]

not new to game but doing the speed run that zirana posted but do not know what spirt to add. since all does show him going fast threw the act up to end act 3 and does not show what support and what skill gems stay at what level.

[nimble gull]

whats the best source for acts tutorial/tips you guys know? i wanna practice before league start

[solid tusk]

Go watch zirana youtube will has some old ones for 0.40

[rocky trout]

My personal tip IF you want to improve campaign.

Watch GuyThatDies, pick one of his build and shadow race him.

It has helped me improve and trim down down time.

Overall, just play more and understand why some things work, some don't and remember why

[cyan zenith]

For more advanced tips check GuyThatDies, one of the best PoE 2 speedrunners

[rocky trout]

Just to add on, if you plan on going Hollow Palm monk, stick to armour based equipment, get armour/evasion hybrid after Hollow Palm swap and only start to go pure EV or EV/ES equipment in act 4

[full flax]

Is demon forms self damage fire damage?

Or is it a pure damage mechanic

Also does demon form's buffs affect spells on a trigger?

[hearty walrus]

life loss is not taking damage

the buff doesn't specify that it doesn't affect triggered spells

[tidal mural]

I hate Freythorn boss, never again am I even attempting that without twink gear or before genor.

[naive junco]

so guys idk what to play spirit walker or martial art ?

[flint plume]

I terms of power, Spirit Walker's the bigger mystery because we don't know how strong most of the companions are. Especially the boss ones. So it could be really strong but it's really hard to say

Martial Artist we know the numbers on almost everything and it looks good

So I would say Spirit Walker is a bigger gamble, but it definitely looks really cool and has pitential

[full flax]

Does +minion damage affect infernal legion?

[young zenith]

anyone got Korbyn the monk master a discord? Should I follow hes guide for Monk starter or the videos he posted? few supports arent same in both of them

nvm, im blind, disord is in hes video description 🙂

[trim turret]

Are the builds up to date?

Supports have changed between major updates.

[marsh cliff]

Im assuming no free weekend this league? I was hoping to introduce some friends to the game, but havent seen confirmation of ti

[lime pasture]

I’m looking for a website for a builds I’m fairly new to path of exile 2.

[marsh cliff]

Mobalytics and Maxroll are 2 of the main ones

[lime pasture]

Thank you!

[maiden spire]

anyone a bit techy here i got a question here and there i get these spikes makes the game freeze for a frame or 2 and the usage goes up should i downgrade the graphics or look into something else

[marsh cliff]

If you didnt know fridays update will add a feature to let you import files for a build guide showing you what to do ingame. I assume those websites will quickly develop a tool for doing that easily, if they arent working on it already. Exciting times

[minor urchin]

yo, i'm rusty in poe 2. All the characters can grab 2 skills or a skill+support on the beggining before the bloated miller or only some?

Sometimes I find only 1 chests and others 2 chests depends on the class

at least that's what I remember

[trim turret]

I think it depends on the class but its usually one skill unless you get an item that provides one.

[sudden chasm]

i think the miller had a few too many pizzas

[knotty lava]

More than that really

[marsh cliff]

They saw my queastion #poe2-news message

[pastel lichen]

The king of bow builds fubgun

But his build can be very expensive tho

[full oracle]

Fubgun makes good builds, but I just dont like him 😅

[pastel lichen]

Whats everyones starter legue i am torn between monk ma or witch lich 🙈

[full oracle]

I'm gona be playing with vegetables again 🥬 🥬 🥬

[pastel lichen]

I was thinking chaos plants lol

[full oracle]

Lich Plants are really good, but I am going Oracle

[pastel lichen]

Indeed im going lich version as witch has some really good builds like but also feeling monk ma but melee is 💩

[full oracle]

I will def try the new Monk later, and Spirit Walker

[pastel lichen]

Yeh guna read more into it. Me and friends doing playthrough together aswell

I want one button build thats all lol

After d4 kills hands like 🤣🤣🤣

[full oracle]

just be aware that Geonor scaled to multiple players is no joke

[pastel lichen]

Yep we will conquer that 🤬🤬🤬

🤣🤣🤣

[sacred stirrup]

free weekend means the servers are gonna die day 1, and the queue will be 3x longer 💔

[full oracle]

nah , last time the queue was 400K+ people on league start and I got ingame in like 20 min

[sterile thistle]

Does this mean the $400 pack will be 50% off?

[full oracle]

I wouldnt expect that

on Steam only the $30 one is actually called Early Access Supporter Pack,
the other ones have specific names

[brisk shale]

is my game bugged

it says slay krutog... bro is dead?

[full oracle]

was there a thing where the Hooded One shows up and talks ??

[brisk shale]

idk

[fast dagger]

Is poe 2 supposed to be so hard

I wipe to bosses in act 1 lol

[full oracle]

https://klipy.com/gifs/welcome-aboard-jean-luc-picard

what class and skills are you running ??

[full flax]

Geonor?

[knotty lava]

Question, just got IronGrasp Vagabond armor. Running witchhunter, would it be good to use for awhile or nah

[knotty lava]

Have you fought Jamanra in act 2 yet?

[full flax]

At least he stays on the map the whole fight

[iron sapphire]

I'm level 50 and I feel like the quality of the gear from world drops has gone down, I have been using essences and orbs of alchemy to get better stuff but I keep getting trash mods. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I don't want to go on the trade market because I know this game can be played without it

[lunar zodiac]

if ur doing iron man then ur pretty much fucked 😭

[lunar zodiac]

its not quality of gear gone down, but ur luck

XD

[iron sapphire]

I don't know what doing iron Man means but okay I guess I'll just keep playing

[lunar zodiac]

ironman is not buying anything from other players

id highly suggest buying it though, even some 1 alch items can be goated

its a challgenge btw

[solar wyvern]

So SSF

[trim turret]

Are iron grip or iron grasp useful to you? Being a mercenary means nothing for that armor.

[lunar zodiac]

oh yeah my bad

[solar wyvern]

negative HP chest

[trim turret]

Gambler vendor can help out occasionally or buying a white base, hitting it with a transmute/augment, if you get bad mods, start over. When you get good mods keep going with essences and abyss crafting and other tools. If you end up with a good item, artificer and socket runes.

[lunar zodiac]

its expensive asf though, he would prolly be able to buy like only 2-3 depending on the type of item

[knotty lava]

Figured as much

[trim turret]

I mean yeah you only do it as able, and use it in conjunction with floor loot and anything else. Its a tool box..

[trim turret]

That can happen. Max life and resists are priorities on gear, look for increasingly better weapons, movement speed on boots, and read everything and look for synergies between skills for big damage.

[trim turret]

Getting no life from strength is painful too.

[iron sapphire]

@trim turret I will look into abyss crafting! That's a good tip to buy white bases and not fully commit because that's what I've been doing I feel like I've been wasting a lot of exalted orbs hoping I get a good mod

[trim turret]

Blue item with two good mods is better than a yellow with four shitty ones.

[iron sapphire]

I feel like my damage is good but my maximum life is awful

[knotty lava]

When i read the first one it reminded me of the poe1 marauder with bow or duelist with a bow

[trim turret]

Strength and flat life on gear.

[knotty lava]

So I was like nah I need life

[iron sapphire]

I am cruising through act 4 but if I get hit it's rough but my resistances are almost capped, although there are a lot of socketed resistance

[trim turret]

Which absolutely can be builds, but you have to build around it. You don't throw it on on a whim.

[knotty lava]

Rn I have flat life and life gain on hit for sustainability

[trim turret]

That's ok, that's what the sockets are for.

[solar wyvern]

It's even easier to use the "wrong" weapon successfully since you decide what attribute nodes do.

[iron sapphire]

Okay cool I think I'm going to save a lot of currency by not full committing to gear that's not at least decent

[brisk shale]

is there a guaranteed greater jeweler in campaign?

[knotty lava]

Life on hit and mana on hit has been great for me

[iron sapphire]

I have some things that are level 17 💀💀

[trim turret]

If the mods are good, don't matter.

[knotty lava]

Yeah thats the bum part when you level up and you have to find tge gear akin to your needs

[lunar zodiac]

yeah thats true

[iron sapphire]

I'm looking through the leveling guide and are the names of the gear What determine the mods that can roll on it? Or are they just how they look

[knotty lava]

So how does the tiers work?

High number is starting tier or low number starting?

[trim turret]

Item tier or mod tiers?

[trim turret]

The base type and item (not required) level determines possible mods. Rare item names are random.

[knotty lava]

Both actually since ive seen only 2 t2 quartstaffs

[solar wyvern]

you talking about this?

[trim turret]

So lower tier is better for mods, higher tier items remove possible lower/bad mods.

[iron sapphire]

@trim turret ahh okay that could be another reason why I've been struggling with gear because I've only been looking for gear that's been matching the leveling guide

[knotty lava]

Yeah ive seen them around

[solar wyvern]

that means it cannot roll the absolute worst mods anymore

[trim turret]

If you're getting roughly what you need in terms of mods you're fine. Don't sweat base types.

[solar wyvern]

the higher the tier the higher tier the mods

[knotty lava]

Oh sweet!

[solar wyvern]

but after it's identified it's just normal gear

you only get the bonus once

[knotty lava]

I see

[iron sapphire]

@trim turret Okay cool I think I have a slightly better understanding than before

[solar wyvern]

you won't identify a tier 3 mace and get 2-4 cold damage

[trim turret]

More resources = can be more particular.

[iron sapphire]

Speaking of resources I just got a Divine orb and the screen went crazy and it blew out my eardrums, but from what it says it does it doesn't seem like it's that great of a crafting tool? I know it's basically the higher end trade currency I just don't get it

[trim turret]

It has value because it is basically the $100 bill of trading. You can take a divine and once you hit post-campaign buy pretty much an entire gear set for early mapping to get you started.

Depending on the current rate of exchange to exalts that is.

[lunar zodiac]

this league is prolly extremely low

high i mean

cause divs are 100000% more common than ex

[iron sapphire]

Whoa really?? I just got to the second island in act 4, I'm assuming I'm going to get more so I'll just exchange it?

[lunar zodiac]

also after campaign id highly recommend using market

[lunar zodiac]

they are extremely rare drops

ppl generally dont get more than 10 dropping in a league

[trim turret]

Most money is made by selling stuff for divines or exalts or whatever. Currency exchange will unlock in your hideout in act 4.

[solar wyvern]

gonna be weird if the game just starts dropping a div every other map

[iron sapphire]

Oh so how are they more common than EX then?

[solar wyvern]

they aren't if you aren't minmaxing the current league mechanic

[trim turret]

Not really. I think that was a facetious statement.

[iron sapphire]

Ahh okay, love those when I'm looking for advice

[trim turret]

They are increasing their drop rate this week they said.

[iron sapphire]

I wonder why?

[trim turret]

Basically hang onto it until you're through act 4, see what you need and get a rough idea of what it costs.

[lunar zodiac]

they think it will be better for the economy overall ig?

[trim turret]

Or because temple is getting adjusted and they want raw drops to matter instead of just side mechanic strategies.

[trim turret]

Nothing like opening a random ass chest and hearing that noise.

[solar wyvern]

I like the N font

[quartz hearth]

any one got extra currency? i need to upgrade my gear really bad

[iron sapphire]

@trim turret that temple thing is the most confusing thing I've done this entire league

[trim turret]

We don't do that here and a new league is starting in a week.

[trim turret]

There are still whole mechanics I basically ignore in POE1.

[iron sapphire]

@trim turret The only mechanic I think is cool is whatever one is like wave-based? And I saw a video of POE1 where you go down mineshafts and it gets harder the further down you go that looks cool

[lunar zodiac]

lmao, like which one?

sorry im just curious...

[trim turret]

I actively dislike heist. Don't do temple much anymore. I'm a big blight fan. Wife loves monolith and abyss so we sometimes split our trees accordingly.

[brisk shale]

is there a guaranteed greater jeweler in campaign?

[trim turret]

There's a guy that does the mine (delve) all league, every league.

[lunar zodiac]

omg blight... i just got like flashbacks :0

[iron sapphire]

I don't think I could have that be the only thing but blight also looks cool! Whatever thing it's called that you break the mirrors makes no sense

[trim turret]

POE2 blight when?

[trim turret]

Delirium. Creates a smoke donut that expands. Deeper into the donut the monsters get tougher. When the smoke dissipates rewards drop.

[iron sapphire]

Yeah I just did one on one of the islands and I got a bunch of diluted stuff 🤷🏻

[trim turret]

Yeah so the emotions let you anoint. Which is what you do with oils from blight in POE1. I have trouble keeping up sometimes.

At some point we can't do both leagues anymore.

Just holding out as long as we can.

[iron sapphire]

Is every notable anointable?

[trim turret]

Should be.

[iron sapphire]

According to my build guide I'm supposed to go for plus one for grenades but I'm on the other side of the tree that would be cool to get but at the same time my gear is constantly changing so I don't think it's worth it right now

[lunar zodiac]

when is next poe1 league so i know if i play or not this one

[trim turret]

They stagger them so won't be until late July I think. No hard date yet.

[trim turret]

I don't anoint until I have my forever amulet unless the anoint is super cheap.

[solar wyvern]

If PoE1 isn't super delayed I'd guess, purely based on feeling, it's a month and a half away.

[iron sapphire]

@trim turret can you only anoint on amulets?

[lunar zodiac]

a month and half damn

[lunar zodiac]

damn extremely close to poe2 league

wasnt it gonna be like 2 leagues a year?

each game

[trim turret]

Nope, four months leagues that are staggered two months apart.

[lunar zodiac]

ohhh

3 leagues a year

[trim turret]

Don't know in POE2. Rings in POE1 but they're blight specific mods.

[lunar zodiac]

yeah only on amulets on poe2

3 notables would be insane...

[iron sapphire]

Is POE1 the better game? I know it has been around for a lot longer but it seems so much more complicated but that's not a bad thing I like learning and playing

[lunar zodiac]

not better

its just been around for 13 years

poe2, 1

[trim turret]

Better is subjective. POE1 has ten years of content but is also more about one button screen mulching. POE2 needs time to mature but the combat is more engaging and I like the gem system better.

[lunar zodiac]

yeah the gem system is better

but poe1 is extremely good if u want to try it

[iron sapphire]

When I swap to this unique , which is highlighted in my guide, I just got the damage numbers are dwarfed by this rare, Am I missing something?

@trim turret Okay I think after I "beat" this character I have I'll try poe 1

[trim turret]

Uh, no. Rampart Raptor has far inferior damage. If the build uses that past early campaign, they must be making up the damage someplace else. Where did you get the build?

[iron sapphire]

@trim turret Just by using it I feel like the rare is better but the raptor just shoots fast, The guide does mention it can fall off I just figured because it was around my level it would still be better than a rare But that's something I have to remember to really read

It's woolies run n gun witchHunter

[unborn lava]

Woolie's build uses Rampart for an early leveling unique

Based on the screenshot it looks like you're at least level 45, so no reason you should still be using this.

he specifically addresses the falloff in his guide

[iron sapphire]

It's a shame I got it this far into the campaign then, I saw that part in the guide I just thought it being a higher level than the one in the guide it would be better

@unborn lava ty for clarifying I hate using my phone for the guide I can barely read it

[trim turret]

Uniques have mostly fixed stats, item level does not matter.

[iron sapphire]

Gotcha, I feel like I'm playing this game like I'm taking an Open book test by being in this discord which is awesome

[lunar zodiac]

yeah these two games are known for being extremely complicated

[compact rune]

Question, I haven't played poe2 since EA release. Did they ever change permanent quest reward choices? I hated how you can potentially choose the wrong one and not change it later. Especially when you want to min/max in endgame.

[hearty walrus]

some are still permanent, but i've heard they're working on making all of them changeable?

[compact rune]

Would that be in 0.5?

[hearty walrus]

i didn't see anything about it in the patch notes

[split trench]

should I prioritize getting more resistance the more I progress the campaign or focus on damage for now?

[lunar zodiac]

both

[pseudo cypress]

I’m a PoE1 player who has 40/40ed the campaign a few times. I’ve tried PoE2 a couple times, made it to maps a couple times, and just kind of bounced after that. Thought I would give it another go, and gave the huntress a shot with a thought of using that ww/twister combo. Got utterly taken apart very quickly. Are there any good “intro to how to fight until you are OP” vids?

[hearty walrus]

so, a build guide?

[pseudo cypress]

I’ve got build guides, more like block timing on bosses, that kind of thing.

[hearty walrus]

boss attacks that have a red flash can't be blocked

blocking is passive or active directional

active blocking will block 100% of hits from the direction you're facing, but will build up your heavy stun meter

passive block affects hits from any direction

[full flax]

I've been falling back on frost darts and ice nova on my sorcerer. Anything i should try or pick up?

I've tried flame wall, but it just feels so awkward to use as a buff

[small hatch]

hey! is there a proper order i should visit the islands in for act 4? i hear I can get spoiled if done inproperly

would appreciate some advice/answer

[knotty lava]

Jamanra can kick rocks

By the way, a fellow gave me a nifty crossbow

I named my Mercenary BenitoMarkus

[twin rivet]

“Just look at the fog” he said it again in the 0.5 recap and man its irritating because its still mot clear to me. Theres fog everywhere!

[knotty lava]

You must traverse thy fog to see your goal!

[hearty walrus]

you can see the fog moving specific directions

[twin rivet]

Theres this overlay/filters that moves as you do which trips me up

Suddenly every direction looks like the correct one

I may be able to use that new hud this to hot and cold it since it seems to only progress as you go the right way.

Ill just go get my eyes checked

[brisk glacier]

shoutouts to markus

[maiden spire]

question what us the difference between the 2 because one is changing colours

[hybrid star]

the color, that's it
the item is from using a reliquary key

[maiden spire]

also the item level does that matter ?

[sudden chasm]

doesnt matter

[maiden spire]

so it doesnt mean that i can't use it even if its higher level than me ?

[hybrid star]

usually there's a line says level requirement, differs from item level, this belt requires level 1 so i think it hides it

[sturdy palm]

what do you guys think about stampede?

[full oracle]

not much, but I do think your profile pic and username is idiotic

[maiden spire]

also what does corruption do?

[tidal mural]

I still wonder that, "corrupted" rather

[full oracle]

here ya go
https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Corrupted

[knotty lava]

Noob question, well I knew it at one point but forgot the answer lol. Chaos orbs are used for trades correct?

[full oracle]

all the orbs can be used for trading , beside their original crafting function

[knotty lava]

I think imma utilize the trade section in poe2 than I did in poe1

[full oracle]

most people trade for Exalted, Chaos, Annulment and Divine orbs

[knotty lava]

Cool, im in act 3, I assume ill get more drops as I go thru the acts

Running Witch Hunter merc

[tidal mural]

I keep seeing people crap on chaos orbs. I ended up with a +90% armor/evade using just 1. Maybe I got lucky. Didn't change that armor for over an act

[knotty lava]

Mercenary is fun ngl

[knotty lava]

Im actually trying to farm the orbs to tweak my witch hunter

[full oracle]

if you are interested in how much is any currency (orbs) worth in a different currency you can check here :
https://poe.ninja/poe2/economy/vaal/currency

[wide beacon]

I wana download poe2 should do I it rn or will there be massive update download later on 29th?

[stark lynx]

probably odd 20 gig patch without knowing the real size

previous leagues have tend to been 10gigs give or take

[full oracle]

there will be a big patch to download , but not that big, you can just prepare the main game now

[tidal mural]

@knotty lava good luck! Hope you get good rolls. I think i just got lucky with mine

[knotty lava]

A fellow in game spammed trade request, was completely confused as to why he gave me a rare lvl 33 crossbow with 20% quality. Thing is loaded and actually compliments the build i got going. All for free, even though I offer like 2 chaos orbs I had but nope just wanted to give me the crossbow

Cuttwater I think was the fellas name

Definitely a unique experience from the community

[tidal mural]

I play hc, not ssf but there didnt seem like much on the trade board.

I think ill do HC SSF on season start, foolish but im going for it lol 😆

[knotty lava]

I am working on tweaking my build for Sorcery Ward

Probably take the node at lvl 60 for safety

[full oracle]

a lot of people would give away their stuff to random players on league end ,
as almost nobody plays Standard league

[knotty lava]

Oh gotcha.
I know new league is in a few days, at least ill have time to experiment on my witch hunter build for .5

Kinda wild, I bought poe2 like 2 days ago

League already ending

[tidal mural]

I been playing standard too, but only since its league end

[knotty lava]

There is one thing I miss

I want my thief class back

I miss dual wield dagger

Templar and Thief

[tropic elk]

guys, my stash customization does not show in my league char

and also if i have always attack without moving option checked on my left mouse click skill, it does not open the stash

[maiden spire]

is this better than what i have?

i have the one on the left

[brisk shale]

what damage types does azmadi do? just phys? a lot of hes abilities are 1 swhotting me at 1300 hp

[tidal mural]

@maiden spire I like what you have more. I prefer resistance runes though personally.

If It was an armor/evade or armor/sheild or evade/shield then id use those runes you have on, maybe.

But im not a pro either, so could be wrong how i do that

[frail narwhal]

probably phys. also some attacks do more than 1500 damage due to 100% more damage mod https://poe2db.tw/Azmadi%2C_the_Faridun_Prince

[tidal mural]

Thats what id like, damage resists for all bosses.
I think its all phys in act 1 except candlemass is fire and genaor is cold

[full timber]

thats the interlude guy right? quite fun fight

[tidal mural]

Not hard to believe he does 1500+ when Viper does 1500 in act 3.

I didn't mind faradin after a few tries. As ranger it found it easier to stay close to him

[robust cave]

is it right that get more damge then build defense later in campaign when planning a passive tree?

[trim turret]

Yeah just make sure you're getting life and resistances on your gear.

[unkempt plover]

what is this spinny monk skill that fires wind out in most trailers

[little iron]

whirling assault with staggering palm buff

[full timber]

Are those monk palms (staggering/killing) used in any build?

[hearty walrus]

a lot

[full timber]

😮

[lapis kestrel]

any tips for viper napuatzi

[stark lynx]

just die a lot until you figure out how to dodge the wave mechanic

[full timber]

couldn't find any on a quick search, just hollow palm and flicker strike ones

[frail narwhal]

hollow palm is a keystone mechanic that makes unarmed attacks able to use quarterstaff skills, including killing/staggering palms
as for two gems you mentioned above, they're oftenly used as supports for other skills (including flicker)

[somber ermine]

Yo, should I even concern myself with Vaal Temples if I'm not at endgame?

[iron sapphire]

I know it's only a few seconds but what matters more for something like an immunity to freeze charm, the duration or total charges?

[hearty walrus]

they're gonna change a lot anyway this friday

[tidal mural]

Agreed. Im tempted to make a new league character right now, but kinda pointless with wipe soon

Just wanna play 😅

[mellow ore]

this is how i feel

want to get back into the game bc of the boss taming ascendancy

but im just lurking

and waiting xd

ik it was to build hype but it was lowkey evil of them to release that trailer 2 weeks before i can get my hands on it

[tidal mural]

I actually havent played hcssf this one yet, so I wouldn't even have a stash for anythjng.

Would almost make more sense to play standard at this point

[unborn tinsel]

the league is over in less than 2 hours
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3931686

[somber ermine]

oh...

[solid tusk]

is better solo start of league or party group

[full oracle]

bosses scale up a lot in groups , specially in campaign, but it may be more fun with friends

[tidal mural]

I hate playing in groups in this for that reason, think ill just stick ssf

Like in diablo 2, monsters scale slightly when you add more players, 8 player groups and great to play in

In poe2, 2 man group bosses get 5000% more hp which is ridiculous

I mean that's not the actual number obviously but its almost pointless to play teams

[full oracle]

3 players Geonor fight is scary

[opaque iron]

Been doing some 3 and 4 person HC act 1 runs leading up to 0.5, lotta fun even tho I plan on starting sc anyway

Ensuring you have certain things covered such as cursing/exposing/shock/freeze or stun or electrocute is v important, and sharing shop items is what allows you to edge out over a fast solo player

Might be slower off the bat but imagine having to sell a +1 minion helmet for 69 gold instead of shirking it off to your friend and letting them 1v3 geonor with a few sniper commands 😅

Likewise if you pick up a +2 melee mace with a good prefix, someone with earthquake/rolling slam can just obliterate beira/bramble/rust king and get everyone to lvl 6

[full oracle]

yeah, sharing the loot across the team is great

[opaque iron]

But TWO people going after power charges for their boss combo? Fuck that lmao

Same for damage types, mixing chaos with elemental is of course going to lead to despair vs ele weakness contesting eachother

[tidal mural]

Id love to do that honestly. Play hc with a big group

Drop rate must be higher in group then? Or exp?

[opaque iron]

Everything feels pretty well tuned drop wise. If you use short allocation some items might go to one player a few times in a row, but otherwise it's as simple as one player saying they need gold and the other saying they need skill/support gems. Funnel eachother in ways that you couldn't alone

[tidal mural]

Playing on vc would be best i think

[opaque iron]

I met them in a hc private league ran by Timmy, he streams most days and is very friendly. Small time but his league picked up traction each league to the point of finally hitting 1000+ players in 0.4

Yeah you have to call out when you trip LOL, or spam flasks/log out like usual

[tidal mural]

Oh wow

Ive never logged. Even in D2 all these years, I accept my death as I recieve it 😋

[opaque iron]

Eh, in Poe it's well established and officially put in as a tool to use, straight from Chris Wilson himself

It makes up for the bugs and things that don't work in early access, kinda evens the odds so to speak

[tidal mural]

Can only speak for myself, but ive never gotten a death yet that wasnt my fault. And yet I still run, trip, and die lol

I mean Jesus they couldve added run without tripping/bumping

[opaque iron]

Play pathfinder

[opaque iron]

Trying the group to do a 6 man run this week but one of the main roster is already saving himself for Friday so I think the dream is dead

If you feel like a HC duo/group beach run, lmk one of these nights or toss a message in the LFG chat. I play on Washington DC but could try anywhere in NA as a test. Usually pretty late, like 10pm est for a couple hours

[tidal mural]

I could try sure. Ive always liked melee until poe2, now I play ranger 🤷

Im nova scotia, canada so we are close I think

Im off until friday, then working 12hour backshifts all weekend. So ill miss league start anyways

[fringe scroll]

should we expect an influx of items on the standard market when all these characters migrate

[full oracle]

I would think that the whole market will move to Standard, not sure

[fringe scroll]

i guess i mean, are people invested in their standard ecomony to where they would be purging a bunch of stuff soon

[full oracle]

no idea, I dont play Standard at all

[somber ermine]

Wait, what's being patched in in a few mintues?

[full oracle]

the league is being moved to Standard

[somber ermine]

oh, in preparation for Druids...

[hearty walrus]

a lot of players don't touch standard at all

druids already came out

[somber ermine]

🤔

😣

[hearty walrus]

the next expansion is 'return of the ancients'. and the league is 'runes of aldur'

[somber ermine]

RoTA arrives in October, right?

Or later this year...

[hearty walrus]

this friday

[somber ermine]

rOMG

i understand nothing...

[full oracle]

😅

[somber ermine]

Makes sense. I did just get back into all things POE2 yesterday.

Ok. Can I get a summary of what's happening, just so Im clear?

[hearty walrus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxgYGGFNs98

[kind marsh]

yo servers are offline?

[full oracle]

yep, maintenance

[kind marsh]

a ok thought my isp was funky

[astral reef]

I was about to post why the game not working after I finished my stuff and was ready to game 🤭

[supple kestrel]

I'm watching GuyThatDies doing poe2 compaign speedruns and I noticed he keeps opening inventory while running with WASD, what keybind does he use for inventory ?

[arctic trail]

No clue but I use my extra mouse buttons

[sinful brook]

Hi, since its gonna be free weekend my friends want to try out the game, i was wondering if its wise or recommended to play the campaign as 4?

[hearty walrus]

that's fine

[dusky shard]

Any noob friendly 0.5 builds?

[terse meteor]

imo lightning spear fun and easy

[orchid creek]

Plants prob easiest. Starts from level 1

[terse meteor]

ye from rax

[dusky shard]

Got link?

[full oracle]

Plants build
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEVXk4xWII4

[crimson dust]

ED/C seems to be most noob friendly, im also poe2 noob

[full oracle]

EDC and Crossbow grenade are probably the 2 most used noob friendly builds

[terse meteor]

sadly nah i just kinda went and followed what some ppl did for like the first couple of hrs of a league launch on poe ninja
the plant build from rax is 1 button

[iron sapphire]

Can anyone else not access their stash after this update?

All my tabs say remove only?? I thought the new league didn't start until Friday

[terse meteor]

cuz the league is over and the only thing that is here is standard

[iron sapphire]

Ohh that sucks so I'm just floating in between until then

[terse meteor]

u can take stuff out of them just not put them back in the same tab

as the remove only tabs are generated from the current leagues (aka temporary tabs until u sort them out)

[iron sapphire]

Okay that makes sense I just had a mini heart attack but now I'm in between wanted to start a new character or "finishing this one" I just got to the abandoned prison

Speaking of tabs I guess just because I've been playing this game I get ads for it and there's websites you can buy currency like divine orbs and stuff 💀💀 like why bother buying it instead of just playing the game That's so scummy

[terse meteor]

elon musk

[iron sapphire]

NO WAY

[flint plume]

Not only that, it's against ToS and can get you canned and then your money's just wasted

[flint plume]

I don't know if there was evidence Elon Musk RMTed, it was that he paid someone else to play the game for him in his account

[iron sapphire]

That is insane

[iron sapphire]

Tbh that's worse

[flint plume]

Yep

But same reason people cheat in competitive games, I guess. Some people care more about supposedly "winning" than actually playing the game

[terse meteor]

ppl that play games generally dont care if they have to farm it out or grind a lil
but people that have money and no time dont care and thus there are also people in need of money and rmt can get them food on the table not all but some

[terse meteor]

no but it was funny considering that it the second time it happend with d4

[flint plume]

Oh it was definitely funny

[iron sapphire]

What is that even do for someone why bother What are you getting out of that

Was he a new player at the time?

[terse meteor]

ah yes i have this level 64 ring very good XD

[iron sapphire]

Please tell me there is a vod of him playing or something I need to see that

[terse meteor]

he barely played he tried to do so on his plane while streaming on twitter (x)

[terse meteor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpXu9ft9h4M here some stuff

[flint plume]

He was trying to claim to be one of the best players at the game. But then when he briefly streamed it was really obvious he had no clue what he was doing despite having a high level character with good gear

[terse meteor]

he picked up items and manualy placed them in his inv

[iron sapphire]

Attack speed staff 😭

What does this mean? I went to my passive skill tree and next to weapon set one and two there's the number 12 but I can't do anything with it?

[unborn lava]

Atlas passive points

0.4 league just ended so all of your characters were ported to standard

[terse meteor]

man rewatching the elon stuff is hilarious

[wispy patrol]

Maybe a dumb question, but all the "increased Attack damage while moving" passives nodes - are they essentially wasd only?

[queen jungle]

There are attacks that move you while you do them

Rolling Slam is one

[wispy patrol]

oh i see. is there a list of skills that count or do they have certain keywords? anything better than guessing?

[queen jungle]

There might be a Movement tag, I'm not sure

[wispy patrol]

ty for pointing me in the right direction

[queen jungle]

no worries mate

[weak slate]

when do i start finding vaal beacons? im level 16 in vastiri outskirts and see no beacons

[opaque iron]

If everyone just moved from Fate of the Vaal into Standard, and they don't normally make league mechanics go core immediately, it sounds like there are simply no more temples?

[unborn lava]

Fate of the Vaal league ended earlier today. 0.5 new league launches on Friday.

In the meantime, we only have the Standard realm available, and the Vaal temple does not exist in Standard currently.

You'll want to start fresh with the rest of us on Friday in the new league, so don't worry too much about what you find during the next few days.

[terse meteor]

the temple is going core with new patch

ul be able to see them starting act 3 if i am not wrong

[tidal mural]

I believe so

[opaque iron]

yes, 6 in act 3 and 6 more in ludes

i plan on leaning into it early and seeing how the reward rooms are. temple is something i avoided early in 0.4 and had a blast with later on

[summer meadow]

hi new player to poe, was wondering whats a good nuke class i can start to easily help me progress through the campaign acts?

[trim turret]

What's a nuke?

All classes have good builds. There's a new league starting on Friday.

[sleek parrot]

Tactician as u get clear screen on ur first ascendancy

[crimson dust]

what is considered a "good" clear time for act 1?

[spark pewter]

36min17sec is very impressive for a fresh playthrough imo

not sure about "good", also not sure if you mean on a fresh playthrough which excludes any type of muling but here is what a speedrunner does and his full campaign run there might be World Record for a Fresh playthrough and with proof

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSxijR13aZ8

[crimson dust]

ik what speedrunners looks like but im saying for normal person, also yeah in league start senario

[spark pewter]

around 50min-1h i would say imo

[crimson dust]

ok

[silver scroll]

50-1hr seems a bit crazy still for a new player imo. Like if you blitz past everything, know where all the tells for where things generate and want to completely ignore the story and know what your each decision is gonna be sure

But like i as a newish player (i played launch up to the 2nd run of act 2 and .4 up to maps) did a run test today of a build. Mind you i was tabbing and checking notes and such and had a bad issue with dying 5 times in a row next to a checkpoint but act 1 took me 2:30

[spark pewter]

for a first playthough i agree but @crimson dust didn't specify "first" playthrough so i assumed like a league starter time but for Standard for someone who has done it before kind of

[crimson dust]

im new aswell, First league, but trying to do the acts fast is fun, the learning is also fun, times will vary a bit with luck and build but so far im averaging 1-1:10 for act 1.

[spark pewter]

1. i think it's definitly good.
2. take my answer with a big grain of salt because my knowledge is mainly based on my own time and i muled every character i lvled through campaign

also depends on rng (vendors), class, build, etc a lot so would almost have to say like "this is good for this class but not impressive if you played this class" etc

@crimson dust an example of how i mule it for my Standard SSF characters

[earnest pendant]

if u find a unqiue say at lvl 10 can u find the same unique at lvl 100? or no

[full oracle]

do you mean the item level or at your character level ?
uniques have a set level that doesnt change

[prisma adder]

I have never play minion berfore. Thinking about going minion DoV build. Need some minion build leveling guide.

[safe heron]

why does my stash have remove only sections in it now after the update? and its full of random items i never had before

i emptied a disenchanted all the items in the sanctum tab, but the tab is still there

[solar wyvern]

you're in standard now and that's all your old stuff

the tab wont go away until you reload your character

[full oracle]

its funny how they still call it Sanctum , but its not called Sanctum anywhere else in POE2 , lol

[safe heron]

how do you get the extra wide inventory?

[full oracle]

its a Titan ascendancy skill

[safe heron]

damn, id pay for that lol

[full oracle]

you can play Titan and get it for free , lol

[vague nymph]

I start in as New Player in 29.05. is there any good Guide ?

[full oracle]

here :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWVuW8TKhBM

[vague nymph]

Thx

[safe heron]

So if you unlock it on Titan all your characters get it too?

[full oracle]

no, its only on Titan

[crimson dust]

the only part of the video the other guy posted I would not follow is the advice to not follow a buildguide, if you care even the slightest bit about endgame a build guide would make your experience alot more streamlined. The rest of the video is good though.

[vague nymph]

I only want to start because endgame 🤣 but i am Not informed what build is the best for new Players

[crimson dust]

for that you could just go on youtube and look up "poe 2 0.5 league starter"

[vague nymph]

Ok

[crimson dust]

pick whichever you like or feel like you will enjoy

[vague nymph]

👍💪

Thx

[full oracle]

the campaign is there to teach you stuff

[quartz hearth]

did the leauge ended?

[trim turret]

Careful with youtube. Not all creators are trustworthy and some like poe builds are outright scam channels.

[quartz hearth]

my character got transfered to standard leauge

[south timber]

Yep, new league starts on Friday

[south timber]

As Tote said it’s a bit hit or miss on Youtube but Maxroll and Mobalytics are both solid sources for PoE2 builds

[waxen osprey]

is this skill tree the 0.5 skill tree or still the old one: https://pathofexile2.com/game/passive-skill-tree/AAAABwgCAAA=

[south timber]

Must be 0.5, Spirit Walker wasn’t an available ascendancy in 0.4

Also the official site would be updated first

[leaden badger]

what is this icon? im on controller so i cant hover or dont know how to navigate to it

[vague nymph]

For real wtf but why

[south timber]

Unspent passives I believe

[south timber]

They give you a bad build and sell you the “answer” through RMT which is against the terms of service

Usually it’s a build that doesn’t or barely functions before you invest a certain amount of currency to buy specific uniques or reach certain breakpoints with stats on rares

[leaden badger]

hmm my character is still lvl8 and ive already used all my passive skills available

[south timber]

Might be atlas passives

Yeah it’s atlas passives sorry, regular passives are just a + sign

[leaden badger]

huh, dont think i can access atlas this early right

[mild wing]

u can only get the atlas point by finishing maps tho

[leaden badger]

yeah just wondering what these are then

[full oracle]

might be from previous characters that are in Standard , since Atlas points are shared

[mild wing]

that is true

could be the reason

[leaden badger]

ah i have finished a couple previous leagues yeah

[south timber]

Yep sorry should’ve clarified that’s why you have those

[crimson dust]

ok so noob question, i was looking at the passive tree on poe website and these 2 nodes are different than what they are ingame, but i did not read anything about this in patch nodes, this is on the witch start. so what is going on?

[drowsy idol]

Depends what character youre playing

Early passive nodes change based on character

[crimson dust]

ah i was thinking asmuch thx for clarifying

[full oracle]

yeah, thats a Sorc start, for Witch its different

[crimson dust]

Does the game explain this anywhere?

[full oracle]

I dont think so, the tree just shows the nodes available for the selected class,
it wouldnt show for other class unless you either start that class or check ouside of the game

[maiden spire]

stupid question i dont remember if i changed something in the setting but after i hover my mouse over items on the ground the box with the item name becomes invisible and i can only se the item if i directly hover over the item from the floor instead is there something i can do to make it normal again?

[full oracle]

try pressing Z

its the key to hide/unhide everything

[stiff tiger]

so ive rolled back about 5 times now in mawdun quarry. 19->17 18->17 18->17 17->17 19->17. playing with no lag 23ms nothing abnormal and poof -> abnormal disconnect -> rollback

[drowsy idol]

Had that issue yesterday doing test runs. Server was wonky yesterday. Haven't played much today, but no issues so far

[stiff tiger]

so it's not the fiber i just swapped to. good.

[prime zealot]

With WASD movement, is it possible to bind things to, for example Shift+W and have it not input the W to move my character?

[full oracle]

I dont think so, if you need more skill buttons I believe the default is Ctrl+(one of the existing) ,
excluding WASD

[soft cobalt]

Not sure where to ask that but that's going to be my first league of PoE2.
I played a bit of calamity bear previously but that's it.
Is there creators of builds you would recommend? I know fubgun for example make some really good ones but things get expensive quickly.. I usually use mobalytics but there's so much variety that I'm a bit lost rn
If you have any "safe" names to follow

[full oracle]

@soft cobalt here is a few

[soft cobalt]

Ty, what about Ronarray?

[crimson dust]

ive been following his edc build and its solid, i dont think his build are the most minmaxed/optimized but it seems to be good for casual/newbies

[meager venture]

Filter blade is just never sink but you can edit it right?

[soft cobalt]

Problem is (I feel like) that most minmax build from really good creators usually will cost a LOT

[left quartz]

Neversink is the dev, filter blade is the lootfilter

[knotty lava]

Can someone tell me where and how I can gather more spirit for heralds and cast on crit

[stark lynx]

filterblade is neversink's website

[trim turret]

100 during the campaign and more from gear/ascendancies and passives that reduce reservation costs.

[knotty lava]

How do I log in on a ps5 for downloading lootfilters cuz I need em bad

[left quartz]

Oof idk if you can get it on a ps5

[crimson dust]

this is true, and unless you consider yourself to be ahead of the curve, its bettter to stick to not so popular builds

[knotty lava]

Good to know, only know in act 2 Finns quest gives 30 spirit but I dont wanna accidentally overlook other opportunities

[knotty lava]

Browser pops up but im used to my stuff automatically remembering log ins

[trim turret]

First 30 is act 1.

[knotty lava]

Gemblood skull correct?

[trim turret]

Yea. Just wanted to make sure you hadn't missed it. Next one is act 3 I believe.

[crimson dust]

has ggg released a list of all the campaign visual guides?

[knotty lava]

Ok cool, I will have to note where and what acts gives spirit, hopefully find a nice amulet with spirit

Or reductions to reservation

I just cannot decide if I wanna go chronomancer or stormweaver

Rn my sorcereress is running 3 elements

[full oracle]

if you go POE website, login, go to your profile (just click your username) and on the right side there is "Item filters" , then subscribe to a filter there and it should show up for you ingame and be selactable from the dropdown

[knotty lava]

Yeah I remember that happening in poe1. Just dont remember it being difficult

[full oracle]

its not really difficult , its like 5 clicks , lol

[knotty lava]

So if I log in from my phone on my ps5 account I can then go to the console and add the filter?

Cuz I have 2 accounts lol one pc and one ps5

[full oracle]

you login to the one where you want to setup filters

[solar hawk]

Hi I need names of these 3 rings please

[flint plume]

I doubt they will. They probably want some of them to be discovered by players

[brave shell]

Hey ya'll, long time experienced poe1 player, dabbling in poe2 for the first time on ps5. Anyone name me a couple of comfortable first time builds? Going ssf or couch-coop ssf with wifey.

[south timber]

Check the wiki

[south timber]

Anything on Maxroll or Mobalytics under the “league starter” section should do fine, but if you’re co-op then try to pick something that uses the same damage type (i.e. if one of you is going lightning, both go lightning if you can)

The reason for that is because there’s a curse limit so if you’re both using different curses you’ll be stepping on each other’s toes

But if one of you isn’t then it’s fine to mix it up

[brave shell]

Thank you kindly

[little iron]

grip of kulemak and the other two are 2 versions of sekhemas resolve

cold and fire version iirc

[zinc ether]

What is the best guide to watch so when i buy the game in few days, i can understand what to do and where to go so i dont get lost and rage quit?

[cobalt steeple]

depends what kind of gamers you are i guess

[zinc ether]

What you mean?

[full oracle]

if you rage quit you lost

[cobalt steeple]

there's content creators for casual gaming, there's creators who make content for minmax enjoyers who like to play optimally, there's those who make content for people who don't want to try too hard

[full oracle]

and then there are just clickbaiters that make horrible builds 😅

[cobalt steeple]

i imagine someone like zizaran should have an onboarding video or even a series for poe2

[zinc ether]

I’m casual i need to have fun thats it
Not going so deep because my English not good so it will be too much reading which i hate and hard to understand

[cobalt steeple]

thats fine nobody reads anything in poe

you'll fit right in

[obsidian forge]

oh boy, I don't know a single good guide, but you can search for a beginner/campaign guide. you need to learn how supports, passives, flasks work, what mods are good, and what permanent act rewards there are, where to get items

[full oracle]

just open poe wiki and google translate it to your language

[trim turret]

Reading is basically you're strongest skill in POE. Knowing the difference between things like attacks and spells are pretty important.

[obsidian forge]

I am warning you, you have to learn a lot even to get through campaign

[zinc ether]

I said i hate reading thats why i was asking if there is a perfect youtube guide someone knows because there are a lot but idk which one to watch

[cobalt steeple]

are you trying to stop them from buying the game so we get one less player lagging up the servers

noble cause

[trim turret]

There's a lot to know and there isn't one video that could possibly cover it all.

[zinc ether]

You are the first one who tells me this

[cobalt steeple]

i mean its not THAT bad, if you've played isometric rpgs, its not that different

[full oracle]

yeah, there isn't one build guide that is enough, its eternal learning with POE

[trim turret]

Have you played an ARPG before?

[zinc ether]

I used to play diablo immortal for maybe 3 months and warframe 800 hours and destiny 2 for 1600 hours
Other arpg i dont think so

[south timber]

Diablo immortal is probably closest and it’s still pretty far off tbh

Warframe and D2 are too different for any skills to really translate

[zinc ether]

I have a 3-5 hours a day after my work to play
Do you think it’s worth to play a game and enjoy or it will take ages till i start to have fun?

[south timber]

3-5 hours a day is plenty

Most newer players probably take around 20 or so to get through the acts, less if you’re following a build guide

Sometimes more if you’re taking your time but it’s not terribly long

[trim turret]

Depends what you find to be fun. Some people enjoy learning a new game and trying builds.

[south timber]

And the league lasts for 3-4 months so you have a lot of time

And a build usually comes online around act 2-3 ish so you’ll start feeling powerful and having fun long before you finish the acts

Sometimes earlier than that

[zinc ether]

I enjoy mid game when i have power but not OP yet
The start is meh to me

[trim turret]

3-5 hours per day is plenty of time for most people.

[zinc ether]

Idk what is the league so yeah i need to watch a guide

[south timber]

If you follow a build guide you can probably get to act 2 within your first play session

A league is like a season

It starts on Friday and will go for 3-4 months

[zinc ether]

I will ofc follow a guide on a build i think it fits my play style

[trim turret]

Leagues have a fresh economy, a new league mechanic, all the base game additions/changes, and challenges for free cosmetics.

[zinc ether]

The ancient something right?

[south timber]

Yep

Return of the Ancients

[zinc ether]

From that trailer i want to play the game

[south timber]

It’s a good game, still missing some features but it’s in early access, been pretty good so far though imo (obviously very subjective)

[zinc ether]

Thanks for the information
So i will need to watch a general guide about the game then a build

[south timber]

But if you do buy early access it also gives you an equal amount of points to spend in the ingame cosmetics/stash tab shop

[zinc ether]

I will buy it in the sale

[south timber]

And there are some useful stash tabs to get like currency, fragment and map tabs

[trim turret]

Save your points from buying the game for a stash tab sale. They go on sale every three weeks and once you have a few specific ones you basically have all you need for hundreds or thousands of hours.

[left quartz]

Main one is currency, cant live without that one anymore lol

[south timber]

Yep, currency is a priority for sure, and then if you want to trade at all a merchant tab

And then fragment/map for endgame are both really nice

I don’t think the game itself goes on sale yet though

Like it won’t be discounted

Even through Steam

[trim turret]

Isn't one of the packs going on sale but you only get 150 points?

[south timber]

Maybe, idk

I haven’t paid attention

But it’s not worth it even if it is imo, it’s worth it to have the points if you can afford it full price

[zinc ether]

Sorry i did not understand

You mean when i buy the game i dont spend the points on stash until there is a sale?
See i dont know anything thing yet

[south timber]

Yes correct

So if you buy the game full price you get 300 points to spend in the shop

[trim turret]

Correct. Stash tabs have guaranteed sales every couple weeks.

[south timber]

Every weekend a sale happens, but what is on sale rotates

Stash tabs are every 3 weeks starting 1 week after league start

So this weekend no, next weekend yes

[south timber]

Ah okay yeah

So you only get 150 points for that

[full oracle]

you can can also just play the free weekend and then buy it if you like it over the weekend

[south timber]

Not the full 300 you’d get from buying it at full price

But it’s up to you

[zinc ether]

How much the stash cost?

[south timber]

Depends on the tab

Different for each

[full oracle]

you can check here, 10 points is $1
https://pathofexile2.com/shop/stash-tabs

[zinc ether]

I will buy the sale and play and if i like the game so much and needed more points then i will buy another supporter pack right?

[south timber]

You can do that or just buy points as you need them

[stark lynx]

sounds like a plan

[south timber]

If you buy a pack you get extra cosmetics but you can also just buy points if you want a smaller amount

[zinc ether]

Thanks

[stark lynx]

You get 150pts with the key during the sale, is enough for Currency+merchant tab for example. But you'll be wiser once you are playing on what you think is best tabs for you

[south timber]

You also don’t really need the map & fragment tabs during the acts

So you can decide if you even like the game first

[stark lynx]

ever since the universal map keys, map tab has reduced in priority, at least for me

[south timber]

That’s true but they take up a lot of space still and it’s easier to just toss em in and forget about em if you get a lot

[zinc ether]

You guys saying stuff idk what it means
Map keys? Fragments? Merchant ?
No idea at all

[full oracle]

you will learn over time , lol , there is too much stuff

[zinc ether]

Yeah

[zinc ether]

Just to confirm this is the best thing to do right? Or there is optimal way because i dont like to spend to much money on games. I rarely spend money

[full oracle]

yes

[zinc ether]

Thanks

[full oracle]

speaking of all the stash tabs , I finally had some time to organize them

also, new players dont need most of those , I've just been playing for a long time 😅

[trim turret]

They're just tabs that store different types of items. Currency lets you store the various currency items. Merchant lets you sell items to other players. Fragment is for items that you use for interacting with all the side content.

[south timber]

The big benefit to stash tabs is their size and their ability to organize everything

Currency tabs have spaces for each basic currency with the ability to stack up to 5000 of each

[broken shoal]

what is this sanctum (remove-only) stash tab that appeared?

[south timber]

Vs a regular stash tab where you can stack up 20 of some currencies and 10 of others

[south timber]

You played in the league, it ended on Monday, now you’re in Standard

[full oracle]

its the Sekhemas relics

[south timber]

They don’t delete your stuff it just gets transferred

[broken shoal]

what should i do with it?

[south timber]

But they don’t do a one to one transfer of stash tabs in case you have stuff in those tabs already

Remove it from the tab and place it in one of the non-remove only, sell it, drop it, delete it, or ignore it completely

Up to you

Most people don’t touch standard so just ignore any remove only standard tabs

[tropic elk]

does that mean supports are inactive?

icons seem a bit dark?

[frosty heron]

Does someone have any info on the inventory getting all meshed up with standard and not in your fate of vaal ? I know seasons about to wrap up but Still odd that my inventory is all messed up. Thanks for any info

[full oracle]

they are in your other weapon slot, you can press X to swap weapons.
Maul is a talisman basic skill, so unless you are in bear form it will be like that.

[hearty walrus]

your stash tabs?

fate of the vaal ended already and your stash from it got moved to standard as remove only tabs

[frosty heron]

But I thought the new season was Friday? So current stash is already out if I'm understand you correctly

[tropic elk]

i know it's early game but let it be a teaching moment, is the extra phys dmg and attack speed enough to drop the +2 to melee skills?

[hearty walrus]

the new league starts this Friday. the previous league always ends the Monday before

[full oracle]

everyone is in Standard until Friday

[frosty heron]

Gotcha didn't realize this , I just hoped on and see standard. Thank ya, I was a little confused

[drowsy idol]

this decision is so inconsequential, just put both on, look at tool tip dps, and have at it

[tropic elk]

i can have two on?!

[drowsy idol]

technically in second weapon yes, but not what i meant...i just mean take whatever tooltip number is higher and use that one

[safe heron]

Is there anyway i can remove the 50% reduced projectile damage.. item already twice corrupted

[lime pasture]

I could use some help. I'm in act 1 and I'm making a guide for Finn. I couldn't buy any more b/c I'm locked out of gambling any futher.

1: Cuirass
2: Vest
3: Robe
4: Greathelm
5: Rogue Armour
6: Vestmants
7: Jacket
8: Felt Cap
9: Circlet

Can someone help me complete this guide?

[south timber]

This isn't really the channel for that

[south timber]

Check the wiki, it should have them listed

[lime pasture]

I'll browser thorugh it again. Thank you.

[full oracle]

if its twice corrupted then you cant change anything

[lime pasture]

I'm having a diffiulct time finding what I'm looking for on the wiki. Can you help?

[safe heron]

if it wasnt then how?

[full oracle]

I think there was an omen for changing implicits , not sure if it works for the bow ones
try asking in #2┃crafting-advice

[south timber]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Body_armour check whatever slot you're looking at, and you'll be able to find all the bases for that armor slot

[lime pasture]

Thanks this does help. I can compare it to the shop and build the guide for a quick reference. Thank you.

[safe heron]

so implicts are the stats on the top..what are the stats called for the bottom?

[hearty walrus]

explicits

[safe heron]

and whats a pseudo?

i see that word in the market

[south timber]

It's like a combination of all of the lines of stats that contribute towards that stat

[full oracle]

pseudo in the market filter just means "anything with this text"

[south timber]

Like strength can give life, for example

[hearty walrus]

that's just a term for searching for items. it's not an actual thing on items

[south timber]

So an item that has say, +50 life, and +10 strength, would have a pseudo value of +70 life (2 life per 1 str)

So searching for a pseudo +70 life would return that item, but searching for explicit +70 life would not

[safe heron]

oh ok so to me more precise i should search for explicts and implicts

[solemn sparrow]

i just started a new huntress. anyone can help me with some sockets and gems?

[safe heron]

can a chaos orb change an implict stat?

the stat on the top of the item

[naive junco]

i have a question spirit walker like lich ?

[full oracle]

what ??

[naive junco]

i mean gameplay they are the same right ?

[full oracle]

no they are completely different ,
Spirit Walker is an ascendancy for the Huntress
Lich is an ascendancy for the Witch

[naive junco]

ye but they are both a summoners right ?

[full oracle]

they can be, but the builds are usually very different

[naive junco]

oh alr then thx !!

[hushed crag]

If I play ssf and drop an expensive item that I do not intend to use, can I convert that character to regular and sell on trade?

[full oracle]

you can move the character from SSF to trade, but not back to SSF.

if you plan to sell items then its easier to just play trade

[full fog]

anyone know why the implicit is 1% when its normally 50%?

[full oracle]

no idea, but thats actually so funny ... 1%

[lime pasture]

Thanks for you help. Let me know if I made any mistakes on the gambling guide. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3733476831

[south timber]

No, chaos only rerolls explicits

[south timber]

Can you hold alt over it and take another screenshot?

[south timber]

Very strange

[full oracle]

that looks bugged , because the only roll in brackets is 50

so it should always be 50

[safe heron]

its normally 50 but i seen ones different numbers too and yours is the lowest of the low

at least you dont have reduced projectile range

[drowsy idol]

You do understand you can get different base types from gambling right? It's not just always the same base type. If you know that, ignore this....but seemed like you might be thinking that

[left quartz]

I know the reason. You had this bow before they changed how additional arrows work

Before they added surpassing chance

I know cuz I had this exact same issue with my bow lul

[hazy swift]

So is currency still scarce in campaing

[trim turret]

Spirit walker has tools for builds that have zero summons. So does lich.

[hearty walrus]

each ascendancy can be used for a lot of different builds

[lime pasture]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3733476831
From what I understood and tested. You can get higher tier of item, but they are all going to be from the same effect tree.

For example if you pick Tattered Robe # 3 in the guide I made you will always get Energy Shield effect, but you have the chance of getting a higher tier of Tattered Robe such as Hexer's Robe, but it will still maintain the energy shield effect.

[drowsy idol]

you're overthinking this

it tells you what the base type is. It can be armor, evasion, energy shield, armor/evasion, armor/energy shield, evasion/energy shield

then you are gambling, and the base types will be limited by the highest level you can obtain,and will go up with you as you level

theres no research or testing needed here, we know how it works

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Vendor#Gambling

[vast magnet]

Sorry if this was answered anywhere but does the new vaal pact allow you to recover life from flasks?

[lime pasture]

I added a very important detail to the gambling guide I had made which should steer users to simply use the game.

[twin mason]

for those who've done both, grenades vs permafrost which is better for campaign

[slow girder]

Hey, is there any way to farm uniques specifically early on? I want to try and get the new companion Sceptre that's lv6

[rose scaffold]

Looking for class/skill recommendations that feel completely different from Diablo 4's standard lineup (ice/lightning mages, whirlwind barb, minion necro, shapeshifter, paladin, or standard bow rogue). I don't need a full newbie guide, just some fun, unique playstyles or concepts to check out that still feel fresh while leaving me space to grow with the game.

To give context, I finished D4 after killing all bosses at Torment 12 and have nothing left to chase, so I'm looking for something harder and more complex.

[south timber]

Basically any build marked "league starter" on Maxroll or Mobalytics will work just fine as a new player, and there are a ton of different archetypes to choose from even within the same class

[runic jewel]

So finding a unique strongbox, fighting the mob who gets resurrected 6 times - is the strongbox not meant to drop something? I got actually zero from it.

[solar wyvern]

the drops are whatever falls out of the monster

[runic jewel]

That's lame lol

[edgy cradle]

hi i'm in the trial of the ancestors and im doing the "Kaom's test of mettle" and I can't kill the rare enemy because it keeps regenerating life. How do I kill it?

[solar wyvern]

What skills are you actually using?

[edgy cradle]

lightning arrow and lightning rod

[solar wyvern]

Do you have a decent bow? do you have good damage support gems?

I don't see a lot of enemies in campaign that can outregen damage

[edgy cradle]

yeah my bow was bad

i just got a better one for 1 exalted and was able to killl it

before that all my gear was found
