[zealous osprey]

I mean I'd love that, miss my shadow XD

[opaque stone]

Do i still need to do all the sidequests for res and such in Cruel?

[zealous osprey]

Not all, just the ones that give stats

But the extra XP won't hurt

[opaque stone]

So just weapon set points and res stuff?

[zealous osprey]

And spirit

[fair arch]

Does charging Plasma Blast count as casting? Can I reduce charge time by reducing cast time?

[zealous osprey]

Unsure

[autumn tartan]

Early access yes. But the game isn't "released" yet

[zealous osprey]

Check Martial Tempo

[lethal sapphire]

Turn off the game, just happened to me 🤣

[distant dagger]

is it normal to take long to load?

[zealous osprey]

Sometimes

[zealous osprey]

1 death will be brutal if you ain't got gear

[fair arch]

not sure if its working. no changes on the ui. i have the "extra 2 projectiles' and it seems to shoot them faster

[opaque stone]

Its not casting, it is attacking, but the +2 seconds is applied after all other cast modifiers so you cannot make it faster than 2 seconds

[zealous osprey]

I'm afraid I haven't played crossbows yet, so can't help further

[rose agate]

Can anyone help me with a boss?

[zealous osprey]

[scenic salmon]

Who

[rose agate]

In Act 2, Zalmarath

[fair arch]

ahh thanks for the info. So no way to reduce the charge time by a decent amount than? Its so op with 3 projectiles its just a bit slow to charge

[late hare]

the support packs stay for the whole early acces in the shop? like 2 more month?

[green idol]

Anyone able to give me a hand with the Act 2 boss?

[clever geode]

6 months right

[zealous osprey]

Full EA

[late hare]

6?! wow ... ok thats a lot ^^ thanks

[zealous osprey]

Imma see if I can eventually get the $480

At $160 rn

[late hare]

some look realy cool tho

[clever geode]

buy multiple of the 480 one

[plain relic]

the support packs are 480????

[late hare]

lol

[plain relic]

what?#

[zealous osprey]

Final one

First one is $30

[plain relic]

holy shit i did not see that you could scroll

[zealous osprey]

[plain relic]

380 bucks upgrade omg

wtf

[silver geyser]

I have the $480 one if you want to see the associated hideout

[plain relic]

is it even worth it?

480???????

[zealous osprey]

If you feel it's worth it, then yes
Else no

[clever geode]

if u can affort it?

[opaque stone]

It is entirely support the developers, and get some nice swag with it

[plain relic]

i cant tell if it is because i dont see everything lmao

[zealous osprey]

That's usually how spending money on a game works

[clever geode]

then it's up to you

[undone bone]

r u guys getting one shoted on the end game

[rose agate]

Zamarath in act 2

[undone bone]

or it is just me

[plain relic]

just u and ur build

im fine there

[zealous osprey]

Nope, and I have like 15% armour as defence, that's it

[opaque stone]

There isn't, but you can try to turn it into an Igniting skill to make it go a bit further

[silver geyser]

T12 maps are getting pretty sketchy

but I only die like 1 out of 10 and because I do something dumb like stop paying attention

[clever geode]

i wish minions dont just die if they are too far

[zealous osprey]

Only reason I die is if I get mobbed cuz I wasn't paying attention

[foggy rapids]

whats better ice strike or tempest flurry

[fair arch]

i have it as a finisher to finish off an boss... it works really good besides being a bit slow and also sometime the beams dont register even though it goes through the boss

[zealous osprey]

Both are good, a friend went ice strike I'm going tempest flurry

[foggy rapids]

aight il just go ice strike then

[plain relic]

i dont even have friends to give the early access keys at 480 loool

[zealous osprey]

The difference is cold vs light

[clever geode]

there are people begging in this server

[plain relic]

i meant FRIENDS.

[zealous osprey]

I gaveaway to guildies who cant get the key but wanna play

[plain relic]

the 3800 points is nice tho wouldnt know what to get with all that xD

[fair arch]

its damage is kinda insane. i have to do a whole fight with beetle on act 5 but if all 3 projectiles register it one shots the boss

[rose agate]

Can anyone help me with Zamarath in act 2?

[distant dagger]

whats the difference between softcore and hardcore?

just difficulty lvl?

[zealous osprey]

Hardcore = you're not allowed to die

Else you lose your character

[viscid gulch]

does wildfire and ignition support work on skeletal warrior?

meaning will my minions ignite and spread ignite?

[distant dagger]

can i still play with other players in any mode?

[plain relic]

thats nice of you did you buy that 480 bucks pack tho? i wonder what the cosmetics are

[zealous osprey]

Except for SSF, yeah

[zealous osprey]

Nah, at $160 rn... Will build up to $480

[distant dagger]

any benefit for each mode?

[opaque stone]

No, just challenges

And bragging rights

[plain relic]

think i will try but will go to 3rd pack assuming you are at 3rd too now?

[distant dagger]

i see, ty

[marsh zephyr]

does PoE2 have same servers for standalone and steam? i don't want to get the steam version cause I already have a lot in the standalone but I might consider it since my friends only want to get the steam version and I wanna be able to play with them

[tired nova]

how does the party nerf thing works? is there ever a point where 2 people can just pull their original damage numbers together? when both are in maps maybe?

[zealous osprey]

$30, $60, $100, $160 (I'm here), $240, $480

[plain relic]

ohh ok yeah i did only 60 then next month 160 prob

[zealous osprey]

Could've had the $240 already, but I maxed both my settlers packs

[rose agate]

Can anyone help me with Zamarath in act 2?

[gloomy stone]

this doesn't say it'll give me ascendency points like the others did, I just beat the jhinn in cruel mode

[clever geode]

960
u get 2 480 packs

😄

[hot notch]

Act 5 Acient Vows - Kabala Clan Relice..... I cannot get this task completed. I found one of the relics and dropped on a map on act 3 like a MORON. And now have clear Keth, Mastodon Badlands, and The Bone Pits about 5 times each and none will drop the Relic. I have only one to clarify and the other is GONE since I made that stupid move... To add, I have cleared every map on Act 5 at least 3 times and nothing. Is anyone else experiencing this?

[plain relic]

what are the settlers pack?

[zealous osprey]

PoE 1 latest league

[plain relic]

ah

i never played poe1

[graceful bluff]

Is there a channel that can help me price an item?

[floral anvil]

Not really a campaign question, more of a hardware/software one but there's no channel for that. I'm running a 7900 XTX and am trying to get AFMF2 to work with this game, but when I turn it on in the AMD Adrenalin app my FPS actually tanks down from ~90fps average down to ~70, which is really odd. I'm running at max settings with FSR on, and my drivers are all up to date. Kind of a niche question I guess but if anyone has any insight, please let me know 🙏

[zealous osprey]

I have a humble 1.2k hours in it

[plain relic]

that is nice 😄

[zealous osprey]

Sun from Keth, Moon from Mastodon

[distant dagger]

can u change gender of the class?

[zealous osprey]

No

[fair arch]

actually wait.... is maybe my "accuary" to low? or is Plasma Blast just wonky?

[hot notch]

What dod i do if theyre not dropping tho

[zealous osprey]

Keep killing ig

[hot notch]

I hsve cleared these maps, bosses everything 5x and no relic

[surreal shale]

Can anyone tell me what would be the best 3 tier 1 support gems to put on ember fusillade for mid-game bossing?

[distant dagger]

its same in poe1?

[zealous osprey]

Yes

[hot notch]

i think i created a bug with dropping the relic on a map at act 3 and now the game wont populate a new one for me

[unreal rivet]

bro this game is so hard wtf... i almost ripped my keebs tryna beatin balbala with a monk

[hot notch]

is there a help page from the developers?

cause a shoulder shrug when I have 100+ hours in the game is not going to cut it lol

[zealous osprey]

Dunno about a page, try sending a ticket

[mint wolf]

Anyone down for clearing Ascendancy 3 for 1 Exalted?

[fair arch]

dw game gets easier. biggest tip i can give is to use the market to buy a good weapon. at the start of each new act look for the highest DPS weapon you can find and it will carry you the whole act

[twilit bobcat]

is the game dumb or am i dumb, all of a sudden icant use a second spirit skill but i have enough to use both

[hot notch]

alright

[zealous osprey]

Supports increase spirit cost

[distant dagger]

can u stack buff by killing same unique boss?

[unreal rivet]

yeah i find myself going back to clearfell and farm the ice witch boss for cash/regal shards

[unkempt summit]

I had this issue too some support gems increase spirit cost there what did it for me

[trim turret]

Your build is your identity and extra character models is a lot of work because there are so many armor pieces and weapons and cosmetics that need to be rigged to them.

[wheat osprey]

what will 1 exalted orb get me on the market

[unkempt basin]

1 burgir

[trim turret]

Stack what buff?

[zealous osprey]

I crafted a weapon in Act 2 and it carried me to maps

[twilit bobcat]

ohhhh i see now

[unkempt basin]

There r some rlly good stuff for 1 ex

[distant dagger]

idk, it say i can get permanent buff by defeat unique boss

[fair arch]

yeah you can ussually spend 1 exalted orb on the market that will carry you the entire act

[distant dagger]

i wonder if u can keep getting the same buff

[trim turret]

Oh no you can't stack those. That would be broken.

[fair arch]

cheaper than gambling on crafter and more garanuteed

[distant dagger]

or if its random buff

[zealous osprey]

That's one time, doesn't stack

[wheat osprey]

i hate economic inflation

[distant dagger]

yea make sense

if u get in a party and defeat it, would everyone get the buff?

[zealous osprey]

Welcome to adulting

[trim turret]

Yes. It's an item.

[distant dagger]

ok so u can get carried

[zealous osprey]

Green (quest) item drops, right click to apply buff

[fair arch]

nice im farming beetle in lost city. He is really good for rare loot. also corpse explosion him and respawn and he will come back. can kill him every 20 seconds.

[zealous osprey]

Affirmative

[wheat osprey]

psst, heres a lifehack for being carried easily:

you can do it urself

[unreal rivet]

but now im stuck in trial of ascendancy part. is this part supposed to be this tedious? i can maintain my HP but damn the honor system is really messing me up

[zealous osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-gif-25117042

[sterile wasp]

hey so new to the poe games, saw a good build for my witch but looking for a amulet with spirit isnt a thing? i asked some people and they said it was mod, still confused about that, do i use a orb to get the roll ?

[upper pasture]

Can't rly tell what things I should use vaal orbs on? Should I use it on things that have bad modifiers or something?

[zealous osprey]

Better of getting it from vendor or trade

1 ex will get you wonders

[fair arch]

its hard the first time cause you dont got good relics. once you get better relics its eaiser plus more honor the higher you are. Pretty sure if you have better armour you take less honour damage becuase the honour damage is linked to how much damage you take

[rough lintel]

how to get level 3 support gem?

[zealous osprey]

Good uniques, maps

[sterile wasp]

i was looking for one on trade but none have spirit

[zealous osprey]

Cruel acts

[lofty pilot]

Guys how can I get my skull....

wtf

[upper pasture]

Good uniques, ok, not rares? And what do u mean maps

[zealous osprey]

You can set the modifiers on trade you know

[plain relic]

i still cannot interact with the map device...

[sterile wasp]

i did

[zealous osprey]

Waystones, endgame stuff

[upper pasture]

Roger that

Thanks!

[zealous osprey]

Prolly people not online atm

[gentle swift]

Any1 know how to get level 11 skill gems ?

[wheat osprey]

maps is the nickname that's been given to the endgame atlas

[zealous osprey]

Keep progressing

[upper pasture]

Ok cool. 🙂

[plain relic]

i cant even interact with the endgame atlas

gg my character

[gentle swift]

Yh but like when ?

[zealous osprey]

I think A3 or A4

[sand vault]

click on it? if you are on pc

[zealous osprey]

Don't remember exactly when

[lone sail]

How do I sell items on the marketplace

[zealous osprey]

Premium tabs

[lone sail]

Bruh

[elfin hornet]

I saw some streamers use currency exchange ingame via NPC. But I wasn't able to find it. Was it turned off?

[gloomy stone]

do you not get a trial for points after beating cruel lvl jhinn?

[zealous osprey]

Cruel acts gamble NPCs

[gloomy stone]

it's not the same as the ones before that claim to give you points

[plain relic]

is bugged tbh

[gloomy stone]

and not a quest item

[plain relic]

i have the same issue

[elfin hornet]

Sorry I have no idea what do you mean. I just started act 3, I checked NPCs and they don't have exchange

[plain relic]

did ascensions in nightmare but no points

[summer patrol]

what is better armor, evasion or energy shield?

[zealous osprey]

Nope, for 5th and 6th you need ilvl 60+ 3 trials

[zealous osprey]

Act 4 onwards

[gloomy stone]

so your character is fucked now?

[zealous osprey]

The NPC who sells random gear

[plain relic]

i need to do the trial 3 times you mean?

[zealous osprey]

3 floors

[plain relic]

but i did the one in act 2 and got nothing

[zealous osprey]

The Djinn will mention number of floors

[elfin hornet]

I thought there are only 3 acts right now? Or is "cruel" a way to replay them with extra difficulty?

[zealous osprey]

Correct

[plain relic]

im confused sorry

[hot notch]

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3639657

[zealous osprey]

Djinn mentions a level and no. of trials

[plain relic]

can i put more than one map here?

[zealous osprey]

Forst first 2, trials = 1

Then 2, 3, 4

For the other sets

[past rain]

how do you teleport between checkpoints on console

[plain relic]

ill show u what i see then

[plain relic]

i finished this one once

[gusty bridge]

guys i’m a new poe2 player playing merc

idk how to build mercenary

and don’t know what to acsend into

[gusty bridge]

i’m level 22

any advice on what’s better

[zealous osprey]

This is a in progress one, I can't check floors... But this should be correct

[limber linden]

In act 5 right now, would completing this give me my 3rd set of ascendency points?

[gusty bridge]

let me go to build planning

[zealous osprey]

For each floor, you come out and go in again

[plain relic]

ok so i need to keep going with it?

[zealous osprey]

Using the same relic

[zealous osprey]

Yep

[plain relic]

i see, ok

[zealous osprey]

No

[plain relic]

then i will complete it again...

[zealous osprey]

Lvl 60 and 3 trials

[plain relic]

and then a 3rd then?

okk i see now then

[zealous osprey]

Yes

[plain relic]

and for the chaos one i didnt get a orb

[limber linden]

the hell is it for then lol

[void sandal]

not badddd theres absolutely nothing that Renly sells for witch 😭

[zealous osprey]

Chaos one, 4 for 1st, 7 for 2nd, 10 for 3rd and hidden boss for 4th

[zealous osprey]

Practice trials XD

Or get the 2nd set of points if you haven't already

Not the 3rd

[plain relic]

finishing this ascension first then

[zealous osprey]

Una sells weapons for witch

Renly only sells armours

And non spell caster weapons

[void sandal]

thank you 🙏 i thought only renly sold stuff im a lil slow lowk

[gloomy stone]

when you killed the jhinn in cruel did you get this?

instead of the quest item?

[plain relic]

let me see

[plain relic]

actually i might have put it in my stash lol

[clever geode]

quest itemis in green

[gloomy stone]

yeah it seems weird that it's not green

and i thought they normally say you get points, not that you get to choose your class

[clever geode]

they do

that's not a quest item

he is just showing the other guy

[gloomy stone]

that's what I got for killing the jhinn -_-

[clever geode]

oh it's you

[rose lotus]

Is the 'Attacks' thing on trees just basic attacks and not like enhanced attacks like galvanic shards?

[clever geode]

strange

[gloomy stone]

interesting

lvl 70 >:C

anyone here that can confirm this?

[magic cairn]

is there a way to remove the delay before ES starts recharging?

[clever geode]

i'm 65 and not getting any of them

[rocky thorn]

there's no way to salvage or do anything special for quality flasks right? just don't even pick them up if they're too low a type?

[gloomy stone]

ok, so you're still at 4 points?

good to know I guess lol

[clever geode]

yes

[gloomy stone]

was scared I wouldn't get any at all. Sigh, I prepped a lot of life recoup nodes for this trial, what a waste

[opaque stone]

There are uniques that can instantly start it under certain conditions

Such as using a mana flask or 20% chance on kill

You can never completely remove it, though

[trim turret]

Any attack skills.

[magic cairn]

yea i was looking for something like those. know any more per chance?

I'm tryna make Eternal Youth work ... 💀

[topaz horizon]

Anyone know where to report crashs?

[opaque stone]

I mean its decent just with normal life recharge stuff

Bitterbloom, Prayers for Rain, Death Rattle, Luminous Pace, Sierran Inheritance are all the uniques that affect recharge notably

There's also Tetzlapokal's Desire which gives you Life Recharge without removing your ES recharge or changing life flasks to recover ES

[clever geode]

anyway to check the current charge of charm?

[opaque stone]

Hover over it in the UI

[plain relic]

omg the trial is so dumb.... 3 floors...

[clever geode]

oh

[eager bane]

Can anyone help with Act 2 final boss?

[halcyon hazel]

Uniques are orange aren't they?

[clever geode]

i missed that line

[clever geode]

yes

[zealous osprey]

Us bro

[plain relic]

got to last boss of 2nd and welp

had 400 honor

[magic cairn]

how... do you know all those seemingly by heart

[plain relic]

so brutal

[zealous osprey]

PoE 1 veteran?

[opaque stone]

Ctrl+F on PoE2DB. The only ones i could actually name from memory were Prayers for Rain and Tetzlapokal's

[opaque stone]

nah none of those are poe1 uniques

Eventually though

[magic cairn]

ty, I was hoping for smth like a DB

[opaque stone]

In 1 youre mostly interested in Devouring Diadem (though this comes with Eldritch Battery,) Viridi's Veil, Sudden Dawn, and Wicked Ward on the tree

it will live with me til the end of my days

[halcyon hazel]

Are yellows legendary than?

[magic cairn]

not when you're a Bloodmage

[clever geode]

?

[opaque stone]

Yellows are Rare

[opaque stone]

Does spending costs cancel recharge now?

[magic cairn]

YES i tested it today 💀💀

[marsh pasture]

how did yall beat lachlann? kinda stuck on strategy

[opaque stone]

Booooooooooooooooooo

[south quiver]

when do i get my ascendancy

[magic cairn]

the horror

[opaque stone]

Youll want Shelter From Rain or Tetzlapokal's then

[magic cairn]

literal saviour

[potent dune]

Is there a trade chat on discord for PoE 2?

The trade on the website is a nightmare

[plush charm]

website is fine wdym

[knotty lodge]

can someone help with the trials of chaos pls

[zealous osprey]

As a blood mage I'm offended, it's super easy to maintain overcapped HP

[lethal sapphire]

Anyone knows how to collect twitch drops ?

[potent dune]

Im on PlayStation. It's extremely hard to navigate for me

[inland sentinel]

Use the stone to help with you dodging out of his ground slam

[plush charm]

use your pc/phone

[zealous osprey]

Collect from twitch, after linking it to PoE account from PoE site

[magic cairn]

I've started to look at other builds n guides and some make it work while others are literally dry in the desert

[zealous osprey]

I'm shotgunning maps, WDYM?

[lethal sapphire]

And it will be in my stash ?

[zealous osprey]

Just need brains and gear to make it work

[knotty lodge]

can someone help the trials the of chaos pls :((((

[marsh pasture]

Stone?

[plush charm]

lfg

[zealous osprey]

MTX, not stash

[lethal sapphire]

Whats MTX? Sry im new

[zealous osprey]

Micro transactions

[magic cairn]

if you wanna know how some of us BMs feel:
https://youtu.be/86E0VOTbz78?si=8zJt6M4FygOwHqQi

[pearl yacht]

When should I trade and craft equipment?

[zealous osprey]

You should have a dedicated key in inputs section of menu

To open MTX menu

[pearl yacht]

My sorcerer seems to have fully dropped off in power the moment I hit act 1s end

[zealous osprey]

Nubs

[inland sentinel]

The grave stone wall that’s in the middle. You can use it as a blockade

[plush charm]

build?

[pearl yacht]

How do I share it

[magic cairn]

yea but I'm also a beginner and it seems making HP cost on cast work is truly not the most beginner friendly ascendency..

[plush charm]

just tell me what your buikld it

is

[zealous osprey]

That's a lot of context, Blood Mage is definitely not beginner friendly

[potent dune]

I'm trying to find artificers orbs but there is no option on market for that. I have to sort through hundreds of other currencies

[slate surge]

Is there a way to auto offering on skeleton warrior?

[marsh pasture]

Thanks, Ill try that

[pearl yacht]

Its a sorcerer at level 17 lmao idk what else to tell you

[magic cairn]

🤝

[pearl yacht]

I have a lot of different element spells but now Im trying to use fire spells after cold snap was underwhelming

[inland sentinel]

Are you cold based or lightning based?

[plush charm]

yes there is

[pearl yacht]

…fire

[inland sentinel]

Fire is uh…interesting

[plush charm]

just type it in bar

[pearl yacht]

Why is it bad

[inland sentinel]

It’s not bad

It’s just weaker than the other 2

[pearl yacht]

Fire has the same path cold and lightning have

[zealous osprey]

Difficult to path on tree early game

[inland sentinel]

Needs a lot of investment to feel good

[zealous osprey]

Even endgame, not as much DPS as other 2

[inland sentinel]

Cold and lightning are very good from the beginning

[plush charm]

thats sorc in general lol

cold seems to be the only cheap option

[pearl yacht]

I mean ember fusillade is currently more reliable than half the spells ngl

[inland sentinel]

Cold at least let’s you freeze mobs and kill them easily

[pearl yacht]

Except cold snap is shit

[slate surge]

Is there a way to auto skill offering on a skeleton warrior?

[pearl yacht]

It took soooo long to freeze rhe boss and it still didnt do much

[inland sentinel]

You would use frost bolt and ice nova

At least for the beginning

[pearl yacht]

Ice nova sucks bro what are you saying

The basic shotgun the staff gives you is better

[floral falcon]

do we also have a trade channel or is it jus the website

[inland sentinel]

It gets better because you eventually will get comet but that’s toward the end of act 3/beginning of cruel

But gist of it is cold is better than fire

And lightning is not too bad if you go spark and flame wall

[pearl yacht]

I mean sure but I just have to spam frost bomb the whole time

[narrow mist]

Has anyone actually had the merged account issue fixed? Sent an email last weekend and still am waiting for a reply.

[pearl yacht]

I literally just used frost bomb and frostbolt till I got ember fusillade etc

[inland sentinel]

Just par for the course for act 1 yeah

[tribal anvil]

does leveling up scale real fast after lvl 50 or something o.o

[inland sentinel]

How do you figure

[tribal anvil]

my entire friend list are all over lvl 70

im 34 o.oo

[inland sentinel]

They probably mapped

Well you repeat acts 1-3 again but higher difficulty

[tribal anvil]

and i started first

.,

huh really

[pine willow]

when using orb of chance can the normal item become any unique of the same type of gear? or are there specific items for specific uniques?

[pearl yacht]

Man I just wasted two 5th level gems on incinerate and solar orb

[tribal anvil]

live and learn

[inland sentinel]

I mean that’s how you learn

[pearl yacht]

Can you farm skill orbs

[inland sentinel]

Not reliably, no

They’re random drops

[tribal anvil]

fire skill for sorc suck except for firewall early game and fire ball

[marsh pasture]

It worked, thanks!

[inland sentinel]

You would be farming for hours and not drop many skill gems

[pearl yacht]

Fire wall spawns a shitton of raging spirits

[pine willow]

.

[inland sentinel]

I used contagion and essence drain until I got flame wall and raging spirits

[tribal anvil]

real my sorc has a bunch of gems but my warrior has none

[pearl yacht]

Wait yeah my buff gem is raging spirits too I need a fire build lmao

[slate surge]

Is there a way to auto skill offering on a skeleton warrior?

[inland sentinel]

But I am fire minion witch

[pearl yacht]

I cant go ice sorc now cuz where will I get another buff gem

[inland sentinel]

So my build naturally is full fire invested

As long as you keep going to the next zone you will find higher lvl skill gems. They drop according to zone lvl

[pine willow]

@inland sentinel do you know? i cant find any info

[tribal anvil]

ice sorc is bad till lvl 9 gems or something

[inland sentinel]

For PoE 2?

[pine willow]

yes

[pearl yacht]

Tf

[tribal anvil]

you need ice wall and comet

before that arc and spark are your best friends

[pearl yacht]

Spark is such a boring spell tho

Arc is also boring and I also dont even have it

[inland sentinel]

Well, from what I’ve gathered, chance orbs potentially can turn a white item to unique if it has an equivalent/associated requirement

[pearl yacht]

Id rather use ice over lightning

[inland sentinel]

Also has to be empty of sockets

[tribal anvil]

GL

[inland sentinel]

Or nothing will happen

[clever geode]

is ther ean item that convert lightning to ice dmg?

[opaque stone]

Whisper of The Brotherhood

100% of lightning to cold, ring

Wait no Call of The Brotherhood, whisper is the other way around

[pearl yacht]

Ok so why am I dying so quickly tho

Damage is fine but how did trash mobs kill me

[opaque stone]

Trash mobs are the scariest

[pearl yacht]

Which is why I think my equipment is outdated

Even tho theyre rare

[inland sentinel]

It won’t get better tbh

They will get worse in end game

[opaque stone]

You can tell what bosses are doing, sometimes trash just surrounds you on all sides and evaporates you

[inland sentinel]

Some mobs are just insane

[pearl yacht]

Am I supposed to be using the gems that turn common armor into rare

To keep up

[inland sentinel]

Some have special effects

[opaque stone]

Pre-nerf adorned beetles lol (idk if they're better yet)

[pearl yacht]

Cuz my understanding is that theyre rare as fuck

[inland sentinel]

You can

But I would save them until you truly need them

[opaque stone]

You're supposed to, but you can probably buy better gear from other players

[inland sentinel]

Make sure you utilize checking the vendors every level

[opaque stone]

(with the orbs)

[inland sentinel]

They refresh their shops

[opaque stone]

Vendors are great yeah

[inland sentinel]

In act 1 I would not

[pearl yacht]

I finished act 1

[inland sentinel]

I would at least be in cruel campaign

[pearl yacht]

The wolf boss

Is done

Im stuck like right after

[inland sentinel]

So you’re in 2?

[pearl yacht]

Yeah

[nimble sluice]

Act 2 is brutal early for sure

[inland sentinel]

Oh the silverback thing

[rocky thorn]

man the crashes suuuucccckkkkkk

[sharp hazel]

Can someone please help me defeat the mad wolf please? I’m in act 1

[opaque stone]

What does an Arcanist Etcher do to your item stats?

[nimble sluice]

its neat when you get to cruel with experience and a nice build then you just shred through

[pearl yacht]

Swfeat the hyenic raiders

[inland sentinel]

Act 2 is the hardest part of the whole campaign. It’s rough and you’re starved for many skill gems and lvl 1 support gems for the whole thing.

[nimble sluice]

what are you dying to

[haughty linden]

Hey guys... i'm dumb and needing some help. I just finished act3 cruel and teleport out of the vault... and i dont know how to get back... help pls =x

[inland sentinel]

You may get lucky and drop a lesser jewelers but it is super rare

[plain relic]

WTF ARE THESE 2 BOSSES ON END OF TRIAL 2

MFFF

im so done omg

[nimble sluice]

its a lot of dodge timing

[plain relic]

2000 honor gone

[sharp hazel]

He’s like a wolf boss guy and has 2 phases

[nimble sluice]

No I know, I mean what mechanic are you struggling with

[weak aurora]

Hi what are good jewel stats for summoner infernalist

[pearl yacht]

So do I just buy some waxed jackets and other armor pieces from players?

[sharp hazel]

I’m new I’m not sure…..

[nimble sluice]

I would just keep going st it then

big part of boss fights is knowing the telegraphs

every major move has a very very soecific voiceline and/or animation

[clever geode]

kek

[pearl yacht]

Is there actually a tell on how to dodge the mist attack

[nimble sluice]

in fog phase, 2s after each voiceline I believe

[clever geode]

time it

[haughty linden]

.< Hey guys... i'm dumb and needing some help. I just finished act3 cruel and teleport out of the vault... and i dont know how to get back... help pls =x any chance anyone know something?

[inner jasper]

does jamanra have lighting resistance?

[hollow zinc]

Why did this temple of chaos run not give me any skill points im confused

[clever geode]

look at the hp bar

on the right side they show which resistance

[inner jasper]

i dont have time

[inland sentinel]

Bosses have inherent elemental resistances

At least some of it

And it does show on the side little icons

[clever geode]

he dont have time

[pearl yacht]

Ok how do I buy stuff from players

[inland sentinel]

Was it an inscribed ultimatum with a trial of ascendancy

[inner jasper]

is there somewhere in game that shows all the icons and what they mean?

[inland sentinel]

Use Poe 2 trade site and look for items you would want to buy

[unique orbit]

how do you guys decide which item to gamba craft

[hollow zinc]

Yeah

[inland sentinel]

Just be aware you need the exact currency to trade

[pearl yacht]

Can I not do it from the game

[unique orbit]

havent played poe1 so idk how people decide

[inland sentinel]

Oh wait you’re console

Consoles have their own trade market

I think it’s in the game just idk how that works

[clever geode]

is there no crossplay?

[serene brook]

guys the poe trade wont let me t4rade poe 2 is there any way ?

[inland sentinel]

PS cannot cross play, but I think Xbox can

[noble stone]

where are people getting builds guides aside from youtube and forums

[inland sentinel]

With pc players

[vernal bison]

Best Falling Thunder support gems? Anyone know good ones?

[clever geode]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard

[cerulean kelp]

So I can just do the easy first one 4 times to complete my ascendancy?

[serene brook]

@clever geode thx

[clever geode]

u wish

[cerulean kelp]

That's what's written so...

[clever geode]

why is that there

[hollow zinc]

@inland sentinel none of my inscribed ultimatums grant skill points

[clever geode]

i mean i think it means this

[pearl yacht]

So what do I even do

[hollow zinc]

What am I supposed to do

[clever geode]

u can do 1 type of trial

[wanton sail]

when do i prioritize magic find over survivability?

[clever geode]

but need do till the 4th ascension

means u dont need to do chaos then sekhemas

[hollow zinc]

Where’s the map device

[cerulean kelp]

Aaaaah ok. Which is is easier? Sekhemas I guess?

[ebon turret]

good or nah?

[echo meteor]

Anyone know why I can’t spend a skill point here? They’re greyed out, but some other nodes are not greyed out and I can insert them elsewhere

[south quiver]

yo i think my build is cooked bro

or maybe im not doing somethign correctly

[nimble sluice]

You can only spend points on nodes that are directly connected to a node that you are using already

[ebon turret]

ami going the right direction?

[fair arch]

hi can you wear to unique rings at the same time?

[slate surge]

You are lvl 22 what direction are u talking about?

[echo meteor]

And they are

[ebon turret]

defensives

[timid flax]

Did you allocate weapon set points instead of main?

[slate surge]

What defensives?

[placid fjord]

what do I pick in Act 6? 10% chaos res, +5 to all stats, 15% debuff on negative effects.

[ebon turret]

my stats

[nimble sluice]

Idk if infernalist goes armor tbh

[echo meteor]

Nope, I haven’t used weapon set points

[half token]

I killed the Djin in A2 cruel and he dropped the Ascendency token again. Do I repeat the trial again on cruel to get my 5th and 6th ascend points?

[nimble sluice]

I see

[slate surge]

Play more bro

[ebon turret]

so i am going the right direction

lol

[clever geode]

no

go es

[pearl yacht]

How the hell do I trade on console bro

[ebon turret]

why es?

[clever geode]

es seems better

[echo meteor]

Buy a premium stash tab and use the tab options to list them

[clever geode]

i am still getting 1shot

[slate surge]

No for ES you need like 100 exalted

[pearl yacht]

Can you not trade without buying stashes

[slate surge]

Very high investment for ES

[ebon turret]

this means when i take phsyical damage i take chaos damage

[clever geode]

tbh

go 0 def

all in on atk

just run around

your minion fight for you anywayt

[echo meteor]

You can buy things from people. But not list things on the official trade site where nearly all trade occurs. There is a sale on right now and the tabs are dirt cheap

[slate surge]

GLass canon lmao

[clever geode]

no cannon just glass

[ebon turret]

minions are the cannon you are the glass

[clever geode]

yes

and no

minions are glass too

but mobs refuse to target minions

[pearl yacht]

Wait so you cant put things up for trade if you dont have tabs???

[clever geode]

yes

[pearl yacht]

Thats so stupid

[clever geode]

well

[inland sentinel]

Chaos is necessary

Just my opinion

[clever geode]

go on fourm or some trade discord to trade then

[inland sentinel]

You can go for whatever you want

[reef kiln]

how do i set how many minions i have on pc?

[ebon turret]

well there is gear with armor and es

i think that is good

[timid flax]

Chaos is hardest to get even in endgame, I’d highly recommend that too

[clever geode]

-+

[clever geode]

u generally want to focus on 1

[reef kiln]

you got 300 points, it costs 10 points to upgrade to a premium tab.

[echo meteor]

They are literally a dollar right now

[clever geode]

10 if u buy now

on sales

[reef kiln]

i dont have that option.

[ebon turret]

ok armor and str + life and resistances?

[pearl yacht]

How long is the sale gonna last

[clever geode]

wot

[echo meteor]

18 hours

[clever geode]

cause

[zealous osprey]

Gonna end sometime today

[clever geode]

that the scepter skill

[wanton sail]

which npc do i use to turn in quality items for those shard thingies

[reef kiln]

oh waddafuk

[clever geode]

u dont get to increase scepter summon

[ebon turret]

hmm

STACK LIFE

[clever geode]

yeah...

it dont give much

[clever geode]

u do need really late game

[shy plinth]

Anyone available to help me with blackjaw in act3

[vernal niche]

What does Blackjaw even give?

[inland sentinel]

#2┃looking-for-group

[ebon turret]

i went hound for my 1 and 2 ascendancy points

[pearl yacht]

Premium stash tab bundle?

Is that what Im supposed to get

[inland sentinel]

Do you need it?

It just makes trades easier

[pearl yacht]

I mean Im not using my points on cosmetics anyway

[inland sentinel]

Yea then get it

I’d also recommend getting a currency tab as well

[ebon turret]

i need to find a scepter with malice and spirit increases and minion spells

[timid flax]

Coming from Diablo and never playing poe before, trade system is immaculate

[hollow zinc]

How do I get more ascendency skill points ??

[pearl yacht]

Ok so my question is

[clever geode]

this

[pearl yacht]

The website is for poe 1

[clever geode]

but better

[ebon turret]

yea

[pearl yacht]

Im not buying it for poe 1 or anything right

[ebon turret]

[clever geode]

what site

[pearl yacht]

Pathofexile.com/shop/category/specials

[clever geode]

that's for poe1 mostly

[pearl yacht]

Bro it took me here

When I logged in

[clever geode]

i did say mostly

[timid flax]

Hit start in the game and go to micro transactions shop, buy the tabs right there

[clever geode]

ohh

[nimble sluice]

I just use the microtransactions shop in game

[clever geode]

this is poe2 stuff

[nimble sluice]

I think M is the keybind by default

[pearl yacht]

It says itll work for both games np

[nimble sluice]

also I think both games share them

[clever geode]

yeah

the map

however

[wanton sail]

hi, i see this in a crafting guide on youtube for poe2; showing parameters gear affixes can roll

[clever geode]

there is no map stash for poe2 yet

[wanton sail]

is this an in-game setting or is this a mod?

[nimble sluice]

on PC, hold alt

[wanton sail]

can it erm

just always be on smile

[nimble sluice]

there should be some button equivlalent that lets you check details

I don't think so? Lemme check in game

[nimble sluice]

it's really annoying for it to be on all the time imo

[clever geode]

this arn't in poe 2 yet

[nimble sluice]

cus it shows a lot of info in the actual game too, not just the info boxes

[wanton sail]

holding alt does show what i want to see, but i don't want to hold alt all the time 😭

it's just helpful to see if i rolled well on an item or not

[acoustic narwhal]

I got the waypoint to arragot but I can't see it on the map... how can i teleport there??

I had to go back to town but now i can seem to find the waypoint to arragot...

Not really sure how to go back there...

[nimble sluice]

did you make sure you activated the waypoint?

also make sure you're on the right l ayer

[nimble sluice]

also I don't see any settings for it

[acoustic narwhal]

yeah the waypoint lit up when i first arrived at arragot

[spare ruin]

is trial of sekhemas for cruelty mode bugged

[long timber]

Is this 32% magic find?

[nimble sluice]

which act is arragot in?

[pearl yacht]

so Im just getting a quad premium(which is the size of 4 tabs combined if I understand right) and a currency tab, is that it?

[wintry geyser]

Trying to defeat Praetor boss within mausoleum in act 1. Anyone wanna join and help ? I am on ps5

[acoustic narwhal]

act 3

[simple token]

does the mud borrow not exist in act 4?

[acoustic narwhal]

I am so freaking confused and kinda pissed off...

[spare ruin]

is trial of sekhemas for cruelty mode bugged

[south quiver]

stuck on act 1 tbh i think i fucked my build

[nimble sluice]

Oh try this: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1hacy1u/aggorat_waypoint/ @acoustic narwhal

[nimble sluice]

cruel or normal

[south quiver]

like my whitch does 0

[south quiver]

normal i think

[copper ermine]

anyone else having network issues causing unresponsiveness/lag/stutter every so often? the performance graphs show the network bar spiking quite a bit

don't know if it is just me or a server thing

[ebon turret]

tempting

[south quiver]

bro my whitch doing 00000

[nimble sluice]

I mean very start is just rough in general for everyone I think

[south quiver]

idk

[nimble sluice]

you could take a peek at builds too

[south quiver]

maybe im just underleveled tbh

idk

[nimble sluice]

I mean you're pretty much just started the game if you're in act 1

you're underleveled, lacking skills, lacking experience

[acoustic narwhal]

i haven't unlocked cruel yet though

[shy plinth]

Can I get help

Help me pls

[south quiver]

yh facts

[limpid olive]

im so stuck... so i was doing fine for a while now ive hit a very hard wall again... ive been farming exalted orbs for 5 hours and havent gotten a single one.. was farming tor gul and jamanra. I have upgraded all my abilities to lvl 8 which is currently max... but I can't get any gear upgrades because currency is not dropping..... I cant clear dreadnaught because i just die in 3 hits to trash mobs... any ideas?

[shy plinth]

Help help help help help help help help help help

[south quiver]

im on that boss that turns into a wolf

[queen shard]

bro does not kno how to ask for help

[ebon turret]

Geonor

[south quiver]

yh

[ebon turret]

hes annoying

[south quiver]

yh

[nimble sluice]

ah classic

[south quiver]

im lvl 17 rn

[nimble sluice]

yeah that boss is a bit of a wall

it's killable at 17 for sure

[south quiver]

ok

[nimble sluice]

but uh it takes a bit

[south quiver]

his mechanics are toooo difficult but his health bar zzzzzzzzzzzzz

arent***

[nimble sluice]

all his mechanics are heavily telegraphed

[shy plinth]

Ya I been asking for help and told wher I was at

[nimble sluice]

well where's the context, I don't know what you need help with @shy plinth

all I see is this

[acoustic narwhal]

bro... I have to go inside the portal gateway thing and i can teleport to arragot... kinda stupid

[nimble sluice]

weird game

[shy plinth]

Your annoying talking about shit in a group meant to help new players

[nimble sluice]

you gonna answer me or what

[slate surge]

Is there a way to auto skill offering on a skeleton warrior?

[shy plinth]

I been here asking for help with lockjaw act 3 for like 40 mins

[ebon turret]

what?

[nimble sluice]

#2┃looking-for-group is your best bet

[ebon turret]

dude chill

[copper ermine]

help with mechanics or your build or some gear? or are you just asking to get carried?

[pearl yacht]

Whats the cheapest headgear cosmetic I can get

Like a glasses or mask

[shy plinth]

Dude I just need help killing him

[limpid olive]

im so stuck... so i was doing fine for a while now ive hit a very hard wall again... ive been farming exalted orbs for 5 hours and havent gotten a single one.. was farming tor gul and jamanra. I have upgraded all my abilities to lvl 8 which is currently max... but I can't get any gear upgrades because currency is not dropping..... I cant clear dreadnaught because i just die in 3 hits to trash mobs... any ideas?

[ebon turret]

does this help minions?

[nimble sluice]

dreadnaught is rather rough, need a good amoutn of kiting

[vagrant anchor]

You tried the twins in deshar?

[limpid olive]

theyre harder than the dreadnaught with my build

[sour wave]

Sometimes it will tell if it affects the specific minion skill with a checkmark.

[nimble sluice]

I don't think it's really worth farming for exalted orbs for gear that gets replaced somewhat quickly at least that early

[ebon turret]

what

[limpid olive]

My problem seems to be survivability

[vagrant anchor]

You can fight them 1 by 1

[limpid olive]

but i cant get orbs or anything to get better gear

[nimble sluice]

right so it's just gameplay decisions

slightly better gear will not help if you get yourself stuc between 10 mobs consistently

[abstract basin]

Is there a way to not let other people into our waystone portals ? Someone I was trading with just ran and stole my whole Map please send help

[limpid olive]

i mean even if i roll theyre still right on me again hitting me

[wanton sail]

when do i need to worry about upgrading my skills

[limpid olive]

i die sometimes before i even have a chance to roll

[nimble sluice]

do you not have any ranged skills

[limpid olive]

i have plenty

[sour wave]

Im still early so others might be able to confirm but selecting a gem will sometimes indicate below the window if it applies to a minion.

[nimble sluice]

then how are you running out of space so fast

[limpid olive]

but again... some of these enemies are so fast my cast walk speed is so slow

[sharp hazel]

It tells me to travel east for the mad Wolf. I already defeated him. What now? Act 1

[nimble sluice]

do you have any defensives that slows/pins/wall?

[limpid olive]

the room those bosses in is extremely small and dreadnaught is also extremely slow

[timid flax]

Talk to hooded

[limpid olive]

i have frost bomb

[nimble sluice]

well the dreadnaught speed is irrelevant

[limpid olive]

i meant small

[sharp hazel]

I did as it still says it

[acoustic narwhal]

does anyone know if i can have the same runes on all my gear?

[opaque stone]

You can

[nimble sluice]

you want to avoid standing on a bridge but you can kite through a bridge into an open space

[limpid olive]

i have frost bomb but again thats one of those moves that i have to cast at my feet and just tank until it pops otherwise theyre just gonna speedrun through it toget to me

[acoustic narwhal]

thanks

[nimble sluice]

getting them on a bridge can thin then out

[timid flax]

There’s a dialog option with him that’ll take you to act 2

[vagrant anchor]

You walk to the right of the room, aggro the right side boss, then walk out of the room and fight in the area outside of it thst you cleared offscreen

[nimble sluice]

also you can j ust straight up get aggro then run backwards until you have a more manageable group

[kindred latch]

Does Sparks work with Lightning Rod?

[inner jasper]

ive been building a lighting bow build on merc not realizing theres a ranger class. should i keep going or change? lvl 35 fml

[nimble sluice]

it's a nice back and forth of going to the next area then backtracking to cleared areas

[vagrant anchor]

Then you fight the left side boss in the room after beating the right side boss

[clever geode]

anyone free help me teleport to azak bog

[limpid olive]

but thats the problem... if i cast a spell i start walking at the speed of a snail and then theyre on my ass again

[nimble sluice]

right which is why I said a more manageable group of mobs

I want you to straight up run/dodge backwards into a more open area behind you

[limpid olive]

all of my damage depends on fire wall and orb of storms... orb of storms is going to be cast under your feet

i have to spark through both of those otherwise im doing shit for damage

[nimble sluice]

do you have the npc helping you as well?

[limpid olive]

i mean yeah but theyre not really doing much if i die to 3 hits

[nimble sluice]

she usually takes aggro of some mobs, take advantage of that to split up groups of mobs

[limpid olive]

the small birds kill me

[nimble sluice]

oh those birds are annoying for sure

[limpid olive]

its literally survivability for me and i dont know how to get more survivable

like im not over exaggerating.. i can farm the lvl 30 zone prior to dreadnaught no problem.. not a single death... i step into the 31 zone for dreadnaught and i get cooked at the start

[lime urchin]

hi is anyone stuck on ascent to power on cruel difficulty

like the boss wont drop the thing for trials

[nimble sluice]

dreadnaught zone is just wicked brutal compared to the other zones in act 2 honestly

[last stump]

any poe vets has any tips to sort loot? how do you choose which item to keep/sell/disenchant

[nimble sluice]

what other spells do you have available to you

[limpid olive]

thats it... lightning staff, spark, fire wall, frost bomb, and orb of storms... anything more and it gets too much.. i already have to stand there and get attacked just to be able to attack anyways

[gilded veldt]

Can anyone else literally not reset their passives? I've tried 5 times now and it will not stick, every time I saved it and then go on a level up and it's reverted back.

[timid flax]

They don’t drop from boss for cruel, random drop from here on out and single use

[nimble sluice]

isn't frost bomb instant cast?

[lime urchin]

oh

[limpid olive]

no not at all

[nimble sluice]

oh I'm thinking about nova maybe

[limpid olive]

i have fast forward on it too

[lime urchin]

thanks so it drops from mobs

[limpid olive]

yeah nova is

[timid flax]

It’s dumb but yes

[ebon turret]

decent boots?

[vagrant anchor]

It is, but takes 1 or 2 secs to activate with FF

[limpid olive]

once i get IX gems i can get frost wall but until then im kinda cooked

[lime urchin]

so is it like the djinn barya thing or is it something completely different

[limpid olive]

its .8s but still like some of the enemies are so fast they just run through it anyways so regardless... i have to cast it at my feet and just tank for a second until it pops

which is causing me to die

so its just useless

[vagrant anchor]

That's why you anticipate and pre cast. It costs nothing to cast

[timid flax]

Yeah with different levels and # of floors… need a certain level and floor count for it to give you the next set of ascendency points (it tells you on the djinn if it will give ascendency points or not)

[ebon turret]

i look ugly

lol

[simple token]

welcome to the club

[limpid olive]

im still just pissed a spent 5 hours trying to get currency and not a single exalted dropped

[nimble sluice]

what class are you playing?

[limpid olive]

me?

sorc

[slim swift]

brother I'm about to finish acts and haven't found a single chaos orb 😭

[pearl yacht]

Guys what do I buy to make all my normal tabs into premium tabs?

[lime urchin]

i have 4 of them rn am i supposed to bring it to the same place i completed in act two last time around?

[zealous osprey]

Upgrade to premium

10 pts

[timid flax]

Yes but read the description of them , it will say “will” or “will not” give points

[nimble sluice]

I think frostbolt could be helpful? @limpid olive

[vagrant anchor]

Not in that area

[lime urchin]

it all says completeing this trial allows you to choose an ascendancy class

[nimble sluice]

not sure what else they can use to kite other than nova with the knockback though

[void sandal]

can someone here explain to me these stash tabs and if they are worth putting my gold coins into them? Please

[timid flax]

Did you not do it before?

[lime urchin]

i did

[ebon turret]

bro on this character alone ive found 5 uniques within about an hour or two

[weak harness]

is it possible to check where the negative is comng from

[nimble sluice]

every act you progress reduces your resistances by 10% I think

except chaos

[vagrant anchor]

I don't understand his problem, the noc body blocks, cast frostbomb at her feet, cast stormorb, spam spark. Rinse and repeat. They jump at you, roll back, cast bomb, spam spark...

[pearl yacht]

Is there someone I can mail cuz I think my game glitched out and somehow I lost all my coins???

[nimble sluice]

I don't think they're keeping enough initial distance but they swear no matter what they do, the mobs catch up and kill within the cast time

[timid flax]

For Passive Points 5 and 6 complete either:
The Trial of the Sekhemas via a Level 60+ Djinn Barya with "Number of Trials: 3" (3 floors), OR,
The Trial of Chaos via a Level 75+ Inscribed Ultimatum with "Number of Trials: 10" (10 Rounds).

[ebon turret]

both seem like cancer

[lime urchin]

ok thanks

[timid flax]

Yeah I gave up on that, waiting for chaos at 75 haha

[rotund fog]

do i take honor dmg from taking 1224 dmg here in pledge

[vagrant anchor]

When I did dread with soec I was 4 or 10 character spaces from npc, plus the ads get stuck in entrances cause they are all trying to filter through. Orb, plus bomb, plus span spark should kill 80% of the ads, then run back frost at your feet, spam spark.

[nimble sluice]

I believe so since it should be losing honor from any damage source

[limpid olive]

heres the thing... i cast nova at my feet and tank it for a second to pop.. slow some things cast fire wall and orb of storms... back up now im not next to my fire wall and orb of storms so i have to recast.. no i have to back up again because theyre getting close and im not next to my fire wall and orb of storms.... thats my point... i just dont know what to do.. i guess the build feels awful but this is literally the only build i can find thats worked up to this point...

to do damage i have to stay still

but to clear this area i have to move

[nimble sluice]

I don't think you get 100->0 standing still if you think out the mobs

thin*

[limpid olive]

and do no damage.. now im fighting things for 100x longer and it just feels bad

[rotund fog]

ah ye i just took dmg but i hvae a lot of armor

so i only lost around 400 honor for taking 1.2k physical dmg

thx for answering tho boss

[nimble sluice]

I cheated as monk by spamming cascade and frost wave lol

was literally running in circles

[limpid olive]

my spark literally tickles for damage without orb of storms or firewall

[tribal anvil]

must have taken a bit to beat bosses with that, since they deal low ish dmg

[vagrant anchor]

Show your dps window

[nimble sluice]

oh nah I ran in with ice strike and bell

I just had to kite for a century on dreadnaught on normal

[nimble sluice]

I got my revenge on cruel though

[vagrant anchor]

Show your wand

[limpid olive]

not wand, staff

[nimble sluice]

Idk how sorc works but from the dps window, frost bomb does a respectable amount of damage it seems?

[vagrant anchor]

Put execute on frost bomb

[limpid olive]

yeah but it takes forever to pop... it says 0.8 seconds... but thats bullshit its damn near 3

[nimble sluice]

what's that support gem you have slotted

[floral falcon]

do items get sold often in the trade website. i see thousands of listings and they're only increasing

[limpid olive]

on what

[nimble sluice]

does that increase cast time by chance

frost bomb

[limpid olive]

frost bomb? its fast forward

i literally just counted almost 4 second from me hitting E to it actually blowing up

fast forward is 30% less duration

[unreal moat]

i wish frost bomb still reduced monster life regen/healing. as it is. the rare mobs with regen don’t feel good right now

[nimble sluice]

duration doesn't affect cast time though does it

that's just the actual ability duration

[limpid olive]

cast time is instant

its a bomb its like a grenade with a fuse

you set it and wait for it to explode

[floral falcon]

cast time is not instant. its about 0.7 seconds

[limpid olive]

when i hit E its immediately on the ground

[nimble sluice]

yeah orb duration is 3s base

[limpid olive]

isnt that cast time?

[unreal moat]

i put the repeat support spell on it too. spell echo or something? it’s a good bit of dps

[floral falcon]

did you observe your character ? it does have animation. That animation is not 0 sec

[nimble sluice]

probably close enough to instant, it's a rather fast cast

[floral falcon]

yup 0.8 secs

[unreal moat]

probably not .8 seconds if you have ANY cast speed at all

[nimble sluice]

I feel like frost nova would be really good for helping with the kiting though

[floral falcon]

it'll get to 0.5 for most level 40 builds

[clever geode]

means u need like 50% cast speed to make it .4 sec?

[nimble sluice]

you can just frost bomb your feet or a bit behind you

dodge back, ice nova

[unreal moat]

cast speed doesn’t work quite like that but yeah.

[vagrant anchor]

I think the mob are to fast for nova.

Upload your gameplay @limpid olive

[nimble sluice]

it has a knockback though

[limpid olive]

the build just feels bad....... but its the only build ive found that actually works so far

[nimble sluice]

if they're literally at melee range then it's something

[floral falcon]

yes, unless you use ice wall. good luck getting your bomb to always hit

[unreal moat]

just freeze them. or spam ice wall

[nimble sluice]

ngl I think most builds all feel bad that early in the game

[limpid olive]

i dont have ice wall yet

still in act 2

[nimble sluice]

my monk only started shredding around like late act 1 cruel

though that's partially cus I respecced into a very offensive tree

and I went ice over lightning

[pearl yacht]

nova sucks ass bro

[vagrant anchor]

Light Ranger, feels amazing early game

[nimble sluice]

ah right ranger

[pearl yacht]

especially if youre on console

because its a tossup on if it procs on your frost bolt or not\

[limpid olive]

i just wish i could do the damage of the lightning bow guy early game lmao... that build is stupid

[pearl yacht]

speaking of, I found an insane two slot yellow colored shortbow just out of nowhere a couple hours back

[vagrant anchor]

I had roughly the same dps as you going through the dreadnought, not sure what you are doing wrong.

It has to be positioning.

[unreal moat]

blue flame gauntlets with fireball, scattershot, wildshards feels really good. you freeze everything

[nimble sluice]

honestly the biggest wall of act 2 is probably that boss on dreadnaught

[vagrant anchor]

Mind you I had a wand and a focus. So a 100 more dps on bomb.

[nimble sluice]

or just dreadnaught itself, which is fitting

you get through the mobs, finally at the boss, then the boss starts doing its weird p2 nonsense

[vagrant anchor]

Boss sucks for light sorc, I had to git gud at dodging.

[pearl yacht]

what defensive skills does sorc even get

do I just pray energy shield holds

[grizzled breach]

I just finished Act 3 and am into cruel. I notice the mob level is higher and the drops are better. Are there any other substantial changes?

[nimble sluice]

cruel is just hard mode essentially

I haven't noticed anything different

boss mechancis seem to be the same

[twilit cape]

So I’ve been just dying a lot on hc and a few have been my fault but just I havnt had a character higher then like 40.

Anyone have a good class that did really well? Notable ones I’ve killed are
2x summoner
1x titan
1x acolyte

[nimble sluice]

everything is better and harder

[nimble sluice]

actually I think the biggest change is yourself

you start getting your build more and more intact and it just starts shredding

I went from full kiting at times to just blasting mobs left and right assuming I don't do anything stupid

[grizzled breach]

Yeah I'm excited to get more nodes and go all in.

[nimble sluice]

more points + more experience, it's quite fun although it is quite boring at times redoing everything

[civic locust]

can gem stash tabs hold uncut gems in poe2?

[rocky wave]

this gamba limite sucks

[grizzled breach]

Just need to figure out gear. I'm new the game and don't know what mods to look for yet.

[vagrant anchor]

Dreadnought in cruel, act 3 in cruel...sigh

[nimble sluice]

I'm new too, been recommended to look for life + resistances

as monk, I need es + evasion too but having more beefiness is definitely helping me along

[craggy gyro]

Ya I’m pretty sure mines working

[nimble sluice]

it's something alright

One slipup and I get slaughted on a bridge

[vagrant anchor]

Lol

[nimble sluice]

bell actually body blocks me sometimes

auto targetting in melee is so random at times

I'm on the chimera quest, so I think I'm like a third or half way done with act 3 cruel?

[vagrant anchor]

I am finding having 2 sets of armor and rings helped. Your normal and a set for bosses or areas that hit hard, but you do less dps.

[nimble sluice]

oh I'm kinda a glass cannon lol

I have 51% evasion I think?

not htat much apparently, I've heard people are 60-70% already

[pearl yacht]

is there a guide on crafting

[radiant monolith]

Ive beat cruel on -12 resists and 85evasion

[nimble sluice]

dont ask me why my cold is so high (all my res pieces have cold as an additional mod)

[radiant monolith]

If u can use evasion u can sacrafice resists for it imo

[ebon turret]

such low dex

lol

[radiant monolith]

Alteast before like t5+

[nimble sluice]

I haven't had a need for dex yet weirdly

[ebon turret]

dex affects evasion

[nimble sluice]

haven't had a weapon that does more damage than this yet

[radiant monolith]

Change that

Flat phys damage scales better

[nimble sluice]

I haven't found a weapon with better phys though

[limpid olive]

i cleared the dreadnaught.... got to the checkpoint room on the 2nd half... and theres nothing spawning

[nimble sluice]

I would if I could

[limpid olive]

[radiant monolith]

You can prolly buy a 130 dps wep for 1 exalt

[ebon turret]

dude these arsonists are just a barrage of bombs

[nimble sluice]

ngl Idk how trading really works

I've been soloing the game essentially lol

only human interactions I do is to help on people's bosses

oh wait I do have a better staff

[radiant monolith]

Well getting into mapping youll need to trade
