[hallow iron]

well for one, im using quarter staff chronomancer and am not sure if I should be picking physical dmg increase nodes since the lightning skills I use convert phys damage to lightning I plan on using HOTG later from quick swapping and resetting cds

[dusky burrow]

you'd be better suited just asking here, i can probably explain anything thats not too difficult

[frank sonnet]

after the damage is converted, it "forgets" what damage type it used to be, so if you have 100% conversion from phys to lightning, phys bonuses are pointless

if you ahve less than 100% there might be circumstances where keeping some phys bonuses is ok

[twin hill]

For now is it safe for me to just go and follow the ice related upgrades?

[plush charm]

yes

[frank sonnet]

basically, yes, if you're going cold. there is also elemental damage

[plush charm]

as long as you building towards something

its fine

[inland sentinel]

Honestly builds are super linear

[plush charm]

its extremely hard to brick your build

[frank sonnet]

this one ehre is elemental damage too

[inland sentinel]

But if you want to do something that is off-meta, be aware of how travel nodes are affected

[twin hill]

Oh yea the exploit thing

[inland sentinel]

Your end goal is just as important as how you get there

[plush charm]

honestly going north west direction as elemental mage is good

I went north as spark mage and I kinda regret it

wish I went north west area

[hallow iron]

with the way you worded it I'd assume no, but do the physical dmg increase nodes I pick increase the amount of phys damage that gets converted to lightning damage?

[inland sentinel]

You won’t go wrong if you’re building for pure elemental as a witch/sorc

[plush charm]

fr

[frank sonnet]

no, it gets converted first and then gets any bonuses that apply (and if it's converted phys bonuses no longer apply)

[plush charm]

you will struggle at some points tho

since I feel sorc is really gear dependant

[lyric venture]

When does the new patch get pushd?

• My chaos build SUCKS & respec'ing is too expensive
• either it gets adequately buffed or i get a cheap respec

[inland sentinel]

And you are also starved for gems and sockets

Act 2 is probably the hardest for sorc players

[frank sonnet]

before the end of the day friday new zealand time probably but there are no guarantees

[hallow iron]

oh wow so damage conversion is basically the first thing that applies

[inland sentinel]

After that it gets easier

[hallow iron]

i see

[frank sonnet]

yes

[plush charm]

I Must have gotten lucky then

I was never starved

[inland sentinel]

Ye

Stormweaver archmage is strong

[plush charm]

im legit sad its strong

[rocky thorn]

I assume "Acceleration" support gem is non functional?

[plush charm]

it wish it was weaker cus it will prob get nerfed soon

[hallow iron]

is there a way to check my total +% critical hit chance provided by gear and passives? or do i just gotta add it up myself

[plush charm]

honestly i say its balanced legit

sure late is strong

but early is quiteee rough

[inland sentinel]

Mmmm

[rocky thorn]

oh, the gem does work, but Feathered Fletching doesn't work

[clear pulsar]

So I'm new I'll be on later bit i would like to know what class is beginner friendly I've played diablo before as well if that helps

[opaque kayak]

what are the ideal charm affixes?

[wintry pike]

what is tier2?

[plain relic]

for getting a 5th support skill on our skills how do you guys do it?

[inland sentinel]

Minion army Infernalist

[scenic salmon]

There is normal armour advanced armour and expert armour
Tiers of bases for people who don't know how to read I guess?

[inland sentinel]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-infernalist-leveling-guide

[scenic salmon]

Pretty sure that's about it

[clear pulsar]

Gibberish

[flint plume]

That's not it

[inland sentinel]

But you’re aware of what a necromancer is from d4?

[flint plume]

Tier 2 means it can't roll really bad mods. Higher tiers means more bad mods it can't roll (so mods it gets are more likely to be good)

[scenic salmon]

Iluminate me

[plain relic]

guys how do you get a 5th support skill slot??

[inland sentinel]

It’s basically that

[static patio]

how do i view the stats of my minions:

Like how do i tell how much damage the basick attack of my sniper skeletor does?
also does it scale with physical damage? what about attack damage?

[sharp light]

some people here said that having actual functining controller support was on their to-do list but it wasnt mentioned on the list of things theyre working on

[flint plume]

Wrote it above. Tier has to do with what mods it can roll when identified

[wintry pike]

ohhhhh thanks a lot

[inland sentinel]

Greater jeweler’s orb

[steel cliff]

how much can i sell this for

[flint plume]

Basically you can think of tiers as meaning it's better to be a good item when identified

[flint plume]

No price checking here, just search for similar things on trade site

[inland sentinel]

Yeah we don’t allow price checking here

[steel cliff]

there is nothing

[inland sentinel]

See the trade site and make your own guess

[silver geyser]

be less restrictive in your search

[dusky burrow]

learn to use the trade site

[silver geyser]

there's something.

[scenic salmon]

Wtf where is more information about this???

[silver geyser]

there's over 500,000 people playing. there's definitely something similar listed.

[scenic salmon]

Can you see it in the item at all?

[plush charm]

not a ton since only 26% block chance

[low oasis]

How Do I get to the Trial of Sekhemas, I cant click on anything on the map

[static patio]

[inland sentinel]

iPhone Autocorrect

[low oasis]

i cant click on anything please on the overhead map

to get to trial

[blazing geode]

Guys, why does my cast on freeze not work even with 130 spirit?

[static patio]

it doesnt

[inland sentinel]

You need an active skill gem slotted in the support slots

[flint plume]

You need to put the gem you want to actually cast on freeze in there

[plush charm]

you need to click on the ability to open up a window that shows specific stats

[static patio]

yes like im telling you it doesnt tell you

[clever rampart]

where can i get chaos resistance? i cant do shit as a warrior in act 3 without dying or taking a ton of damage with second long attacks

[low oasis]

any ideas how to get to trial anyone is it bugged

[blazing geode]

Oh yes! I understand. Thank you very much

[flint plume]

Gear, but it's rare and a pain to get

[silver geyser]

click the tabs

[static patio]

which tab

[silver geyser]

basic attack, gas arrow

[inland sentinel]

They’re suffix mods and hard to get

[low oasis]

omg

[magic seal]

What are the best modifiers for flasks in endgame?

[static patio]

no damage listed

[clever rampart]

so i just gotta roll some armors 😦

[static patio]

no attack speed listed

no crit chance

etc

[inland sentinel]

You can look for chaos res rings too but you’re finding a needle in a haystack

[silver geyser]

[static patio]

how do i tell how much damage the normal attacks do

this is stupid

[flint crescent]

is there a way to show some sort of dps meter?

[silver geyser]

not really

[plush charm]

does it even really matter tho

[silver geyser]

damage is visible when fighting a boss

[static patio]

does attack damage passive

buff the damage of minions?

[dusky burrow]

ngl you couldve just asked that from the start

[static patio]

do minion basic attacks count as attacks

[silver geyser]

screenshot?

[dusky burrow]

yes it is an attack

but no modifiers to attack damage do not affect unless it calls out minions or allies

[static patio]

wait what

[quartz niche]

Where can I drop this item Prismatic Ring?

[magic lake]

hi guys i have 3 quest items wich say i can exchange with oswald in ziggurat but when i talk to him i cant give him these any help?

[dusky burrow]

so if an item says "100% increased Attack Damage" it does not affect them

but if it says "Minions deal 100% increased Attack Damage" then it will affect them

[plush charm]

unless there is something giving it to minions anyway ye

[static patio]

what about passives in the tree

[dusky burrow]

same applies

[static patio]

what about physical damage passives

[dusky burrow]

same applies

[plush charm]

like there is a thing that your minions gets the effect of your amulet

[primal plinth]

sell it to him

[plush charm]

everything

[dusky burrow]

it must call out minions / allies

[static patio]

what about elemental

[plush charm]

unless it calls out to minions

EVERYTHING

[dusky burrow]

believe it or not the same

[silver geyser]

has to call out minions or allies

[static patio]

that makes no sense

[plush charm]

it makes sense wdym

[dusky burrow]

ok

[primal plinth]

[plush charm]

your gear buffs u

[static patio]

so you cannot buff the damage of your elemental mage skeletons ?

[plush charm]

not minions unless it says so

[silver geyser]

you can

[plain relic]

btw it is greater for 4th and perfect for 5th

[silver geyser]

lol

[plush charm]

nope u can

[static patio]

using the elemental buff

[dusky burrow]

just get stuff that says "minions deal #% increased damage", allies deal #% inc. damage, etc. etc.

[silver geyser]

[plush charm]

not using elemental buffs unless its spec a elemental minion buff

[opaque wolf]

Should I be able to do the Trial of Chaos the moment I unlock it in Act 3? I got to the first boss fight and boss killed me with a melee attack. I was on full health, 1000HP and 64% armor. It was a flying creature that did this move where they shot a bunch of feathers. I had one debuff where it said bosses do more and take less damage. Playing shield warrior, level 40

[twin hill]

How does chain work

[plush charm]

[primal plinth]

[flat pewter]

bro that 3rd asendancy is such an unpleasent experience

[unique orbit]

what does shock sorc use for lightning exposure?

[plush charm]

wdym

[primal plinth]

if ur still in acts forget it

[plush charm]

https://tenor.com/view/the-god-father-marlon-brando-vito-corleone-talk-to-me-gif-20103957

[static patio]

so things like this do not increase minion damage?

[silver geyser]

3rd ascendancy should be attempted after getting 75+ honor resistance fyi

makes it way easier

[rugged kayak]

that's dirty lol

[static patio]

whats dirty lol

[inland sentinel]

It’s actually far better to overlevel and out gear the minimum level requirement

[static patio]

its a geniun question lol

[inland sentinel]

Some people don’t do it until probably cruel

[dusky burrow]

believe it or not it has to specify minions or allies

[silver geyser]

It does not call out minions. It does not call out allies. It does not increase minion damage.

[dusky burrow]

like i said 3 times previous

[primal plinth]

shock make enemy take more dmg and exposure make enemey get shocked ignited freezed

idk

[flat pewter]

bro im level 72

doing t14 maps

its just a long long unpleasent shit

[silver geyser]

get honor resistance relics

[dusky burrow]

wrong channel

[static patio]

there is node thats increase my minions critical hit chance but how much base crit do my minions have?

[primal plinth]

go here then #2┃after-acts-help

[rugged kayak]

Lowest will prob always be REALLY low, lmfao given you prob rarely invest much into the lowest stat for a reason haha just means you wont really get a good boost out of that, compared to say, your highest stat lol

[opaque wolf]

Thats fair, its really hard but a lot of fun unlike the bloody honour bullcrap, and i got some good loot from the monster drops.

[inland sentinel]

I thought I had good dps at 44 but I was not tanky

I had to redo it at 49-ish

[plush charm]

you do not get to pass go

[static patio]

there is also no place it is mentioned

[dusky burrow]

yeah overlevel is way better

[plush charm]

honor was bugged to be fair

[empty iris]

guys i need help with spirit bug i think

[south quiver]

yooooooo

i got a orange

[vital osprey]

The game not working?

[opaque wolf]

I just hit level 40, my dps is pretty bad against bosses but im very tanky

[silver geyser]

[vital osprey]

Hmm

[silver geyser]

Unique

[plush charm]

[inland sentinel]

Mm

[silver geyser]

they're mostly trash

lol

[inland sentinel]

Some are usable

[plush charm]

uniques are fun to collect tho

[silver geyser]

some are amazing!

[inland sentinel]

Depends on the unique

[limber hornet]

hey guys im just starting the game with no experience..any1 wanna join me?no mic/vc

[south quiver]

shit i thought that was yellow

[silver geyser]

that's rare

[inland sentinel]

#2┃looking-for-group

[static patio]

do the command abbilities on minions scale with spell / elemental damage since they are your spells and you are commanding your minions?

[opaque wolf]

It's not that, its that it forces a specific playstyle. I'm living my class fantasy off taking all the beatings with plenty of life regen 😂 honour system forces everyone to dodge all blows

[lament stone]

yellows are rares, most of the strongest items are rares

[plush charm]

legit you can play the game blind, just build towards something

[south quiver]

is it ass

[silver geyser]

normal: white
blue: magic
yellow: rare
orange: unique

[plush charm]

like a specific element or etc

[plush charm]

dog

[vital osprey]

I got that middle in game "buffer underflow" and kicked me out i try go back shows me same thing

[inland sentinel]

Yeah that’s really bad

[south quiver]

rip

[limber hornet]

i mostly asked for company but okay ty 😄

[inland sentinel]

You can sell it for gold I guess

[frank sonnet]

is this even good in act 1, geeze

[silver geyser]

give it like 20 mins

[south quiver]

lol

[plush charm]

imo its more fun playing it blind

[silver geyser]

it'll resolve if you were in a map

[south quiver]

its that bad

[lament stone]

thats only good for early game for if you wanted to do a bleed build with a quarterstaff

[plush charm]

yeah lol

[vital osprey]

Oke

Thank you

[gritty dawn]

Idk whose ice strike monk to follow rax or the video zizaran posted

[lament stone]

outside of that scenario, its not good at all

[bold wind]

guys i copied a build which needs 100 spirit and i just have 77 how do i get to 100? can someone help me pls? i already have an amulet that gives me +47

[weak harness]

[plush charm]

[upper pasture]

How to know how big the aoe is on this ability? Also, when this is active, you can still cast your curses, correct?

[plush charm]

[static patio]

[vital osprey]

I got 80 000 gold coins

[bold wind]

[upper pasture]

How to know how big the aoe is on this ability? Also, when this is active, you can still cast your curses, correct? (Sorry meant to put this text and image together the first time)

[plush charm]

look at other tabs

[dusky burrow]

base crit is usually like 5-10%

[silver geyser]

chill

[plush charm]

you need to go back and kill bosses

I dont remember spec, but boss in act 3 gives 30 and boss in act 6 gives 40

[bold wind]

i think i did all?

[south quiver]

guys how on earth do you get spirit on gear

[upper pasture]

Yeah accidentally sent the image and text separately the first time mb

[south quiver]

soooo rare

[lament stone]

nameless king in act 1, azak bog witch in act 3 and cruel act 3 all give items that increases your spirit, you should have 100 base spirit with all 3 items

[plush charm]

u can roll spirit on gear/weapons

[tawdry hatch]

can not figure out a good build that i enjoy for the ranger

[dusky burrow]

isnt it king in the mists

[south quiver]

bro ive been ROLLING and i dont get it ever 😦

i hate gamba

[inland sentinel]

Sure? Not even the gas explosive arrow build?

[silver geyser]

lightning rod is kewl

[main quartz]

just buy from trading

[plush charm]

what kind of gear

[dusky burrow]

isnt nameless king dark souls guy

[tawdry hatch]

well i am in lightning so i can't figure out how to switch to those skills

[main quartz]

afaik, only body and necklace can roll spirit. otherwise uniques can have it and sceptre have spirit obvisouly

[tawdry hatch]

i am playing it but wanna try something different, see if its play style is my type

[south quiver]

like chest, wand and sceptre

[south quiver]

where bro

[plush charm]

cant get it on wand I believe

nor chest

[silver geyser]

you could go magnetic salvo? idk

Is Trial of Chaos bugged?
I've gotten to the boss twice and crashed both times. This is my first experience with the game crashing...

[silver geyser]

need a lot of attack speed to make that feel good

[plush charm]

I have seen spirit on necro weapons only

[shy spear]

Where the f can I find my accuracy rating...

[plush charm]

, rings, amulets and helms

[silver geyser]

likely

[plush charm]

I have not seen spirit on a non unique body

[south quiver]

i have to sign in zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[plush charm]

ok nm

[verbal thunder]

what type of damage does doryani mostly deal

[main quartz]

Yea but it auto whispers people in game for trade it's so nice

[plush charm]

but its rare

[dusky burrow]

an insurmountable barrier, i'm sure.

[plush charm]

rude

[south quiver]

Not really, ahve gotten like 4-5 :D

?

[shy spear]

Anyone have any idea where I can see my current total accuracy rating?

[midnight ridge]

https://poe2db.tw/Doryani%2C_Royal_Thaumaturge

[dusky burrow]

check skill tab, it shows stats for each skill

[slate barn]

Does attack speed reduce attack time on skills or is that only skill speed?

[tawdry hatch]

@silver geyser u got a good guide for the lighting rod build, maybe i am working with the wrong guide

[shy spear]

Oh, duh, ofc it does. Thanks

[lament stone]

if it does not say "minions" or "allies" it does not affect minions

How is blood mage for minion builds?

also no orb

I'm just winging it now

can anyone help me kill the viper boss in act 3 she is kicking my arse

[pliant sundial]

i never used it i portaled to town and it wasnt in my inventory anymore

[midnight siren]

what level does +all spells go to?

[rich sierra]

How many meta gems can I get? I picked the wrong one for my first for the build I want

[lament stone]

any spell skill

[dusky burrow]

depends on the modpool which depends on what item you're looking at

[frank sonnet]

why would you not push this, isn't it all upside?

[frank sonnet]

you can get infinite of them as more of them drop

[midnight siren]

what's the max? Like +7?

[dusky burrow]

depends on the modpool which depends on what item you're looking at

[midnight siren]

what about gelid staff?

[wet hound]

Hey can some one help me

[rich sierra]

How do they drop? Firdt one was from king of the mists? Are the rest random?

[wet hound]

On act 2 boss

[azure lava]

You get a boon, lose an affliction, and get honor. I'm confused as to why this isn't an insta push

[gentle pewter]

how to list quarterstaffs in the trading website? I don't see them listed, although they do appear under 2-hands melee weapons

[frank sonnet]

they are random, and specific encounters and stuff also drop them

[rich sierra]

Thank you

[lament stone]

you get a guaranteed uncut spirit gem from each of the 3 bosses that give you a spirit upgrade, outside of that random drops yes

[dusky burrow]

its called warstaff or something

[rich sierra]

Are the random drops uncut or already set?

[gentle pewter]

Thank you!

[ivory creek]

I feel like my early lightning ranger isnt very strong in terms of damage, is this normal?

[low oasis]

what else do i need out of traitors passage to get to Trial ? I have the coin are there any items i need to get because i cant get to the trial ?

[azure lava]

Class has very little to do with your build doing good/bad damage.

It's mostly your weapon, early damage nodes, and your skill setup

[graceful mango]

anyone help me kill viper boss act 3

[craggy gyro]

i used portal from hunting grounds in act 1, to go to clearfell encampment, and my portal dissapeared. how do i go back?

[azure lava]

Walk back. If you leave the zone empty for too long it closes and you lose the portal

[craggy gyro]

i thought boons were bad thats why, luckely i found out theyre good and pickedit lol

[plush charm]

do it 🙂

[craggy gyro]

thought boon was bad but apparently not

[silver geyser]

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/boon

[craggy gyro]

ah rip.. thanks

[pliant sundial]

is there really nothing i can do then 😔

[sinful oriole]

FML... we died together

[silver geyser]

is it not at the entry point?

[uneven jewel]

Anyone could help me with doryani? 🥺

[low oasis]

what else do i need out of traitors passage to get to Trial ? I have the coin are there any items i need to get because i cant get to the trial ?

[sinful oriole]

I like that bosses reset now when you die but the lost loot and those bugged situation are really annoying

[primal plinth]

reset the area and do the boss again maybe it will solve it

[silver geyser]

#2┃looking-for-group

[uneven jewel]

Ty

[wintry hedge]

how often does the in game shop rotate?

[sinful oriole]

yeah that's what I'm gonna do but it's super annoying

[pliant sundial]

no its just completely gone i checked inventory, stash, offering stand, and i even killed the chimera again to try and get it but it never dropped

[echo mica]

is the 25% reduced damage, damage taken or dealt?

[low oasis]

Ive cleaned out traitors , hall beat Balballa, have the coin but cant click on anything to get to Trial of Sehkemas ? How do I get there ?

[silver geyser]

dealt

[twin hill]

Am I even supposed to kill him?

[echo mica]

ah thanks

also makes sense for it to be 1ex on the trade web? seems like a powerful unique for only 1 ex ?

[silver geyser]

I'd probably list at 3 and go down from there

[echo mica]

although most 1ex are from like 3 days ago

so maybe ppl who just forgot/dont react

[silver geyser]

yeah, might be price fixers

or people who don't care to leave their maps for 1ex

like most people lol

[echo mica]

never even thought price fixers might be a thing

ah

makes sense in a game like this i guess

[mystic adder]

im using arc spark orb of storms and the conductivity gem
should i use arc for bosses?

[low oasis]

Ive cleaned out traitors , hall beat Balballa, have the coin but cant click on anything to get to Trial of Sehkemas ? How do I get there ?

[frank sonnet]

arc is pretty good for bosses because the first hit gets a big damage bonus

[azure lava]

Are you in normal or cruel?

[tough yew]

Can I use both of these so I get 70% increased evasion all the time?

[low oasis]

normal first time

[azure lava]

I think you need to take the caravan to the trial zone.

[low oasis]

It doesnt show any option to go there

Do i need anything out of traitors ?

any other items ?

[tired dagger]

anyone know what these are for?

[azure lava]

I don't think so what does the quest say?

[heady reef]

Heart is for a quest, you sell the trophies

[silver geyser]

sell the idols to oswald

[azure lava]

Read them. The heart is used in the agorrat

[low oasis]

Use Desert Map to travel to trial

[silver geyser]

but yes, read them.

[lament stone]

the idols you sell to oswald, heart you need to sacrifice in the aggorat area

[azure lava]

Yeah, do that

[low oasis]

ill try but theres no teleport

[azure lava]

Not waypoint. The map

[static patio]

can you exceed 100 crit chance in this game if so can you double crit in this game?

[tired dagger]

oh thank you! where is oswald? im in act 3 and the town is gone, just a big portal in the middle

[azure lava]

No, and good luck getting 100% crit chance

[trim turret]

No double crit and 100% chance to crit isn't easy.

[pearl yacht]

Does having unleash on cold snap make it deal its damage thrice(200%)?

When hitting a frozen enemy or exploding a frostbolt

[low oasis]

im a full blown idiot thanks i got it

[upper pasture]

Following this, which one is unleash again? 😄

[bright sigil]

lachlann keeps oneshotting me as a monk (lvl 12) hell naaaaah

[fluid heart]

do we know when the changes are coming?

[silver geyser]

no

[pliant sundial]

does anyone have the trials of chaos quest? maybe me joining them and completing it will fix it

[azure lava]

Possibly. If you have three frozen enemies it'll work. But in single target, the first one will consume the freeze and the repeats won't do anything

[upper pasture]

What is unleash again?

[azure lava]

The support that accrues seals over time that are unleashed to repeat a spell

[sinful oriole]

So it's even worse, the whole instance has been reset preventing me from going back to the entrance to reset, this mean I have to go back at the beginning of the whole area, not just this "dungeon".

[silver geyser]

is that quest even worth doing

don't you get like a skill gem and that's it?

[lethal goblet]

im doing it rn

[gritty dawn]

I can’t wait for build guides to drop and tier lists

[sinful oriole]

Well don't die at the same time as the boss or you will have a bad time lol

[lethal goblet]

got it boss lol

[echo mica]

builds are boring

build guides*

[upper pasture]

There should already be some build guides but I still suggest trying to make a build on your own, it'll really help you learn a lot of the game and it's fun imo.

[pearl crown]

I post here to help others. IF you created a character a while ago but did not enter Clearfell, you may find upon trying that you are barred entry with no reason given. I thought it was a bug, but rather it is that if you have an uncut skill gem in your inventory, you must craft it before contiuning. The game gives no indication of why you are being blocked progress, so took me a bit to figure it out.

[gritty dawn]

I have fun following guides if I don’t, I feel like I’m making something that is absolute trash and I hate that feeling

[silver geyser]

several build guides exist.

[gritty dawn]

We can agree to disagree

[silver geyser]

dozens

[primal plinth]

yeah

[gritty dawn]

Where?

[bright sigil]

ok needed some added cold damage he's trivial now :/

[upper pasture]

Do whatevers most fun for you. I will say though, I'm new to POE and I've made a build work all on my own and it just feels so much more gratifying.

[upper pasture]

But again, do whats most fun for you

[silver geyser]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2
https://maxroll.gg/poe2

tier lists are just as numerous

if not more

[gritty dawn]

I gotcha congrats on that bro!!

[final prism]

guys can someone tell me how crit works , i added up my spell crit chance from the passive tree and it is over 50 , however when i see the details on my spells it shows only 26 %

[silver geyser]

here's one:
S: deadeye, infernalist, invoker
F: everything else

[ionic crow]

should i do treasures of utzaal first?

[upper pasture]

Thanks man. Are you just waiting for builds to come out before playing the game? Also, ask questions in here a lot, that's what really helped me understand if what I was doing with my build was actually working, or if certain things were possible etc.

[silver geyser]

no

[ionic crow]

k

[silver geyser]

teasures is not really worth doing imo

just a giant overtuned dps check

[ivory oyster]

'losing 400 honour to gain 20 on room completion' ahhhhhhhhhh moment

[gentle notch]

is there no gambling npc in hideout? Is alva just bugged

[craggy patrol]

yo yo yo, my main character disappeared, it doesn't appear in char select, what in the fuck is that?

[gritty dawn]

No, I’m on act two I’m just struggling and I can’t shake the feeling. It’s because I’m not following a guide

[ionic crow]

dang fr aye cool then ima leave for later ty for the info!

[upper pasture]

I see, yeah that can be a shitty feeling for sure. What class u playing?

[gritty dawn]

Ice strike monk

[granite raft]

if you lose all your honor in a trail does that kill your hardcore playthrough and put you on standard?

[silver geyser]

no

[granite raft]

trial*

[silver geyser]

honor death =/= character death

[lavish pagoda]

What does this Numbers say in Weapon Set? I allocated few points to Set 1 (and Set 2) but I don understand why 14 (20). What does this show?

[silver geyser]

you can DIE in the trial though

[lusty hinge]

Hooded one I assume, but he's shy to go in

[azure lava]

As someone who's been in the help channels for poe1 and 2 for a long time, trust me when I say that following a guide is not a surefire way to avoid struggling

[silver geyser]

i hope they don't make him the gamba npc lmao

[gritty dawn]

OK, so there are build guides thank you for that! but how do you know they’re good with no tier list I don’t wanna make something that sucks which is what I’m doing right now

[granite raft]

i was practicing a trial in standard before trying it on my HC character and when i lost honor my character did a death animation and i was told i could "resurrect" x.x

[silver geyser]

find a popular one with a lot of likes

[wild wind]

I cannot for the life of me, not get hit by these damn bosses during my ascendancy runs for my third ascendancy. I hate sanctum, man. I hated in PoE1 and now it's being jammed down my throat.

[silver geyser]

get honor resistance on relics

[azure lava]

Anyone who makes a tier list without an objective measuring stick is just asserting their opinion and/or clickbaiting

[silver geyser]

75+ helps a ton

[uneven jewel]

After doryani the game resets?

[frank sonnet]

for now, act 4-6 will be released later

[upper pasture]

Ahhh, good luck man, wish I could give you advice but not sure how to do that class haha

[gritty dawn]

I hear ya, but here’s how I look at that if I’m following a build guide and they have done everything that you can do in the game with said build then I know I just suck. It’s not the build.

[lusty hinge]

It in fact produces struggling since when they hit a situation not in the guide - loads of questions and issues

[uneven jewel]

ouhhhhh makes sense thought it’s a bug

[gritty dawn]

Okay thanks

[olive sapphire]

guys why choas damage buffs in skill tree dont improove dps in poison skills?

[frank sonnet]

anyone who makes a tier list and says they're using an objective measuring stick is probably also clickbaiting and/or asserting their opinion anyway. If the measuring stick didn't agree with what they wanted to say they would've used a different stick

[wild wind]

It doesn't matter enough, I have honor resist on relics, got hit three times, I have tanky build for a reason.

I can tank the hits, I don't want to have to dodge roll them.

[azure lava]

Luckily you can respec and get new gems relatively easily. Even more so after the upcoming patch

[silver geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/jake-the-dog-sucking-is-the-first-step-to-being-good-at-something-adventure-time-gif-8716053

[light ivy]

game has been in early access for a week, why does sucking at it have to be a bad thing? enjoy the journey

yes, or that gif 😄

[frank sonnet]

you could be poisoning with phys damage, or it could be a bonus that doesn't apply to dots, or maybe it is working and you don't realise

[primal plinth]

cuz u need damage over time ig

[unborn kestrel]

if anyone needs help with ignakduk the bog witch in cruel difficulty just hmu ill carry for free

[silver geyser]

#2┃looking-for-group

[lusty hinge]

You have like a personal grudge against her or smth?

[olive sapphire]

looks like poison is choas damage but dont get any choas damage multipliers

[unborn kestrel]

nah i cant seem to get the 40 spirit in my campaign so ill just do carries to try and get the + 40 spirit

2 birds with one stone

[lethal goblet]

question, why not available even tho i have 60?

[stable abyss]

is gambling on vendors worth it? or should i be only looking at actual items from them?

[light ivy]

you need to put another skill into the gem for cast on shock to cast

[gritty dawn]

Nice gif lol

[lusty hinge]

Got the quest for her btw?

[azure lava]

I mean, I remember in overwatch someone made a tier list for each season which was strictly based on the pick rate of the heroes. The lines between tiers were arbitrary, but there was no opinion involved in how the heroes were placed.

In poe you could make a tier list that's just "skills by number of usable support gems" and it would be objective

[knotty stag]

which is better for earlygame witch? do i value the spirit more than 35% chaos res? i dont have life to spirit yet in the ascendancy

[unborn kestrel]

u got it?

if u do lemme tag along and lets kill her tgt

[lethal goblet]

sorry uh, how do i do that again?

[silver geyser]

you don't have to worry about chaos resistance much until one part of act 3 and then not again until maps

[azure lava]

Life + resists are best stats. I'd pass on Ghostwrithe

[gritty dawn]

I see we have different opinions on enjoying the journey lol

[lusty hinge]

No I mean the whole not dropping it for you situation, I killed her like 30 or 40 times already xD

[knotty stag]

[unborn kestrel]

i killed her in both acts so idk whats wrong

maybe i need the quest

[light ivy]

what do you want Cast on Shock to do? pick the spell you want it to cast, and then put that skill gem where you'd put a support gem in Cast on Shock

[gritty dawn]

Anyway did anyone else struggle with the wolf at end of act 1?

[frank sonnet]

179 es is a lot more than 66 life, and it will get further bonuses if you have ES on the tree. I'd say, if you have shit res, consider the plate, but if not, ghostwrithe is better. Getting the strength to equip the right one will be hard too

[silver geyser]

cold resistance helps a lot

[upper pasture]

Most ppl did lol

[silver geyser]

I died like 4 times

[frank sonnet]

pretty much everyone, bosses in this game are hard and that's an act end boss

[gritty dawn]

That’s it ? lol

[light ivy]

i beat it first time but it was tough, i enjoyed it a lot. get cold resistance, be ready to dodge especially in fog phase

[silver geyser]

I was doing a cast on death poe2 ea key giveaway, so I had to get good fast to save my wallet

[knotty stag]

would anyone be able to share with me their stash build

[frank sonnet]

in the fog phase, he recites a poem and leaps after each line, so it's not too hard to avoid

[gritty dawn]

None of my resistances are above 30 lol

[silver geyser]

normal for a1

[frank sonnet]

30 is ok for that part of the game

slap on a cold res charm if you have one

[silver geyser]

wish we could vendor iron rings with blue skill gems for a sapphire ring still

[twin hill]

The map reset is so pain

[gritty dawn]

I just need to break my D4 habits lol

[lusty hinge]

Stash build?

Mine's just a chest, not much going on really

[coral ice]

CI STORMWAVE INVOKER is good?

[light ivy]

i mean sure why not

[knotty stag]

some peoples look amazing

also is the store down for anyone else or is mine glitched

[weak harness]

anyone know what to do here?

[light ivy]

site is down last i checked

[silver geyser]

click the pointy thing

[weak harness]

cant click it, my friend cant too

[silver geyser]

talk to zarka

you're done

[weak harness]

okay wasnt sure if theres like a extra quest

[silver geyser]

zarka is the one with the tuba on her back or w/e

[lusty hinge]

Never saw a different looking stash tbh, but I don't do hideout delving much

[azure lava]

Her*

[silver geyser]

oh my bad

[light ivy]

there are, you've basically done 1 of 3 quests you need to do to progress the story in that part of a2

[terse trellis]

What's the difference between standards and SSF?

[light ivy]

wrong reply sorry 😄

[primal plinth]

u cant trade

[acoustic gyro]

is it me or i really cant have fun with ranger

[azure lava]

Ssf means solo self found. You cannot trade or party with other players. The stashes between those are also separate

[primal plinth]

going in blind?

[azure lava]

All classes can use all skills and gear so idk how you'd be able to have fun on other classes and not ranger

[terse trellis]

SSF has it's own separate stash, is there a ladder for SSF?

[azure lava]

Yes

[silver geyser]

yes

[oak flume]

trials of chaos doable as melee now without being very underlevelled?

or nothing changed

[acoustic gyro]

thats fine, i dunno maybe i just dont like bow skills

[azure lava]

Patch isn't out yet if that's what you're asking. And they only are changing trial of the sekhema, not chaos

[terse trellis]

Wait, you can't even party with other players? Hmm

[oak flume]

:/, thank you

[primal plinth]

or maybe ur arent dealing enough dmg or getting killed so many times?

[coral ice]

ightning Arrow Deadeye

[lusty hinge]

that's what SOLO Self Found means

[terse trellis]

You can have a stash for yourself between yourself tho right

[acoustic gyro]

i dunno maybe? i think my build is fine tbh in act 2 cruel

[azure lava]

I leveled with a bow sorceress using orb of storms and lightning rod and I blasted the campaign

[lusty hinge]

yes, you do have a stash

[reef viper]

guys how can I find the tomb of consort, got stuck here while playing with a friend...

[primal plinth]

i saw fubgun's build with ranger looks fine and does tons of dmg

[acoustic gyro]

i did that, just didnt have enjoyment with that tbh

[drowsy snow]

how do i get 4 rituals? I only get 3 😦

[weak harness]

yea the yellow thingy like a quest is still there weirdly, not sure if im missing something

[drowsy snow]

per map

[reef viper]

i cannot get there

[azure lava]

I think you need to exit through the tomb of the praetor? Not sure

[silver geyser]

probs just a bug. talk to zarka and see what she has to say

[primal plinth]

well if u dont like the classe just go again with another one

[quartz plinth]

Any way to tell which zones won't let you return if you leave through a town portal?

[lethal goblet]

so for example i already got a spark lvl 10 but i wanna use that to do Cast on Shock, would i need to create another gem to put in that socket so i can use the spell? if i normally just slot the gem spell into the socket then i won't be able to cast spark no longer (thats what i see and understand)

[lusty hinge]

try right side

[reef viper]

i tried

[acoustic gyro]

true but ill keep going to see

[azure lava]

I think there's a door after the praetor boss and you go through there to surface in the other part of the graveyard

[frank sonnet]

almost all zones will, they only won't if it's a special event like the trials

[lusty hinge]

try again

[acoustic gyro]

[primal plinth]

glhf

[quartz plinth]

Is there a time limit on the portal? I just had one disappear on the dreadnaught after I ported back to the caravan.

[azure lava]

You can use multiple copies of the same skill gem. One (or more) in cast on shock and then a separate one to use yourself

[reef viper]

i did after beating the boss

[azure lava]

Zones reset after a few minutes of being empty

[lusty hinge]

yes, 8(5?)-10 minutes or smth

[quartz plinth]

Thanks

[light ivy]

that's correct you could create another Spark to self-cast.

[frank sonnet]

8-15 minutes, less at peak time

[frank sonnet]

I found if you go into the zone and pause it lasts a lot longer, I've done 30+ minutes

[quartz plinth]

Pretty sure I wasn't out of the zone that long, but I was messing with some gems, so I guess I might have been.

[toxic hedge]

is there a list of mods somewhere that can be found on jewels?

[lethal goblet]

alr got it. thanks too @light ivy

[frank sonnet]

the instance can also crash or other things happen to it

[lusty hinge]

I've done like a day, maybe more, it doesn't reset

[toxic hedge]

I found a sapphire jewel that increases chaos damage, and i wonder which other mods there are

[azure lava]

Poe2db.tw might be your best bet

[toxic hedge]

thanks, now the question is

magnitude of ailments vs chaos increase.

[sterile tusk]

Damn that act 2 boss was hella hard - barely beat it after like 15 tries

[terse trellis]

Does SSF have it's own separate gold?

[azure lava]

Are you picking between two jewels?

[azure lava]

Yes

[azure lava]

Gold and stash are league-specific. Ssf is a separate league

[toxic hedge]

no, I am considering to buy magnitude for example.
I do have a chaos increase

[azure lava]

What's your main skill/build?

And what are the values you're considering of each

[toxic hedge]

gas arrow, and for bosses. toxic growth

[sterile root]

Need help with viper utzaal boss can anyone assist me?

[terse trellis]

I traded about 10 exalt at lvl 55, and I'm so OP the game is suddenly boring. Really conflicted. I wanted to get stronger, but now I'm too strong...

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[toxic hedge]

12% Chaos vs 15% increase of magnitude

[azure lava]

I don't see a world where the magnitude loses tbh

[knotty stag]

this is with ghostwrithe on

[craggy gyro]

i think it wants me to take a pledge

[azure lava]

The game will catch up, don't worry

[terse trellis]

Alright I'll just keep playing standard

Peak fun for me was getting 1 shot by a hag at lvl 2

[toxic hedge]

thank you

[azure lava]

I mean, ssf is incredibly fun to me and I can't imagine playing trade league. But to each their own. You can hopefully eventually migrate ssf characters to standard as well if you change your mind

[stone sparrow]

I'm new to the game and am currently in act 3 on sorc, and all the poison is just absolutely shredding me, am I able to build resistance towards it or is it more of a skill issue?

[light ivy]

you'll want Chaos resistance for that

it's hard to find though

[rocky thorn]

how is XP shared in coop? I am slowly but surely outpacing my coop partner and we only ever play together. I'm 1 full level ahead now 32 vs 31

[light ivy]

you can use Chaos resistance charms

or poison immunity charms i mean

[silver geyser]

chaos resistance

[violet drum]

I know character prog will be reset on full release, but what about microtransactions I buy now? Will they also reset and we have to buy it again?

[terse trellis]

All the loot is un-interesting now. It's probably junk and I can just trade for something 10x better for 1/100th of the effort

[silver geyser]

neither will be reset

[stone sparrow]

oh interesting i would have had 0 idea chaos resistance helps with poison

I have 12% atm but it doesn't feel like it's enough at all

I'll keep an eye out for more of it ty

[violet drum]

pretty sure it was mentioned that current char progress will get reset

[azure lava]

Ssf loot feels so much more impactful. I think you might really like it if you gave it a shot. Just based this interaction

[silver geyser]

You'll keep your EA characters in the EA branch

[azure lava]

No, it won't. But all chars will be moved to an early access league

[violet drum]

so if I buy something now it will stay?

[azure lava]

Like what?

[violet drum]

stash

[silver geyser]

mtx will always stay

[oak flume]

can i upgrade old uniques to catch up with level?

[azure lava]

That's staying no matter what

[azure lava]

No

[azure lava]

Stash/mtx are account bound, not character bound

[oak flume]

byron the bringer of bad news

thank you

[silver geyser]

lol

[twilit bobcat]

when can i do my third ascendancy im lvl60

[silver geyser]

I'd wait til like 70 and only after you get 75+ honor resistance on relics

[rocky thorn]

lol wtf we died after a rare did (some post death explosion) and all the loot is gone

[static patio]

does this also gives uniques?

[arctic condor]

if support didnt answer via email for a week what should I do keep waiting?

[twilit bobcat]

so wait til 70 before doing balaba again or whatever her name was

[timber fulcrum]

Guys, what are the best affixes for Flasks? I've seen a this question a lot but still don't see anyone responding.

[silver geyser]

[twilit bobcat]

💀

[silver geyser]

I like 0.25 charges per second and increased recovery

universally useful

instant recovery on my life flask

[static patio]

anyone know?

[silver geyser]

yes

it works for uniques

[lapis meteor]

can someone give me level 2 uncut support gem?

[static patio]

so all my skeletons can have this?

[silver geyser]

i think that would then apply to you

you are their ally

[weak harness]

is this energy shield line worthless since the item has no base energy shield? or how does that work

[static patio]

would it stack per minion i have?

[silver geyser]

probably not

lol

[little cosmos]

what should i do here?

[static patio]

cause each minion gets the effect?

[edgy knot]

How do you all allocate passive on the +5 attributes, I'm monk so I go Dex and int. Should I make it even, Dex, int,Dex ,int ect?

[silver geyser]

curious to find out, but probably no

[static patio]

which presence is it then thier presence?

i mean i have no faith that this will work

[silver geyser]

it would be theirs

[static patio]

wouldnt the minions also buff other minions

[silver geyser]

I think? this is very new

lol

[static patio]

cause allies is defined as minions

[weak harness]

anyone know?

[silver geyser]

ah true

IDK

do science

find out

Hey there, new player using the following build:
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/tri-ailment-blood-mage

Is there a reason a minion-less build would take those first 5 skill points? It seems like taking the energy shield nodes, and then picking up offense somewhere else in the tree, would be the better pick.

Super new, apologies if it's obvious.

[devout prairie]

any benfits to upgrading blasphemy?

[lapis meteor]

shops lagging?? ehh

[silver geyser]

2 or 3, but 5 might sell idk

[queen dust]

what area drops level 8 spirit gems?

[weak harness]

ty

[lapis meteor]

act 2

[twin hill]

Is this even good? What stats should I look for on belts?

[queen dust]

Which you could delevel them, such a hassle

[silver geyser]

resistances, life typically

[azure lava]

Life and resists. That is trash imo. I mean, it's better than no belt. But if you get even a magic (blue) belt with literally any life or resists, I'd say it's an upgrade

[rocky thorn]

hate it when a boss is immune to electrocute progression for like 70% of the fight

[azure lava]

If that's happening, it's because they were electrocuted for 70% of the fight in which case that's a pretty good deal

[twin hill]

I see thanks

[rocky thorn]

no, they stop progress during all their signature moves

[azure lava]

Do they? I thought they can build it but they can't go past 99%

[proven vapor]

does this mean 40% resist lower or 24%?

[silver geyser]

-(exposure base + 20)

[dense rose]

Hey there, new player using the following build:

[rocky thorn]

god the crashes are out of control 😦

[proven vapor]

thanks, the wording is a bit unclear

[silver geyser]

blood mage is kinda... not good

[analog estuary]

which one is best for a monk?

[low oasis]

how many trials should i do or just complete the quest one

[silver geyser]

as many as you find fun

[short delta]

What charm to grab after beating King of the Mist? Running a Minion Witch thing

[silver geyser]

but always at least the quest one

[short delta]

Ruby/Saffire/Topaz are the choices

[silver geyser]

the more you do, the easier they get

[dense rose]

But is there a reason the build, which is minionless, chooses to take minion damage instead of energy shield?

[gritty dawn]

I just learned that there was a portal button this whole time I’ve been walking back to waypoints

[dense rose]

Or a reason why any minionless build would take nodes they have another route out of?

[gritty dawn]

😂

[silver geyser]

those nodes give YOU spell damage as well

that's why

[tranquil pilot]

act 2 cruel ascendacy still bugged?

[dense rose]

Sure, but I've heard from guides that I need to invest in my defense as well. Isn't this a better opportunity if I'm not dealing with minions? And then pick up nodes exclusively dealing with spell damage later?

Or are these opening witch nodes providing a really large amount of spell damage that isn't mirrored elsewhere on the tree?

[silver geyser]

more damage is a good defense

[craggy willow]

Hey all, I am lightning monk but have added a couple wind abilities. Is this okay or do I have to stick to just one element

[vernal finch]

for doing the map quests, if i have 9/10 tier 4 maps complete... and i do a tier 5... will it count for the quest?

[silver geyser]

it's ok

[nimble igloo]

the attributes in the passive skill tree , can i change it from strengh to dex at anypoint in game ?

[silver geyser]

after saving the hooded one

he'll let you respec for a gold fee

[clear furnace]

Do anyone know if blasphamy range is affect by aura radius or curse radius increase?

[silver geyser]

both iirc

[tranquil pilot]

ascent to power in cruel isnt working for me idk what to do?

[nimble igloo]

do i have to do all node after it to reach it or an i just change from strength to dex ?

[craggy willow]

For my uncut gems, the only thing I can do is unlock ice right now. Should I wait til I can upgrade my existing elements or would you recommend I just use ice

[clear furnace]

wait for real both?!

[silver geyser]

you never have to do all nodes. just change what you need

[silver geyser]

I'm like 75% sure, but yeah

messed around with hexblast and blasphemy on a blood mage in early EA

[pearl yacht]

Is chronomancer good for a cold sorcerer

[silver geyser]

they both seemed to help

[pearl yacht]

I know storm weaver exists but I kinda wanna spam high level spells without cooldown

[silver geyser]

hit "show all skill gems"

bottom left

[craggy willow]

I’m not at my PC atm. Will this grant me better gems?

[silver geyser]

it'll show all options

there could be synergy with using wind and ice stuff together, but I don't know.

it doesn't hurt to experiment

pretty much everyone is new to this game and still learning

[clear furnace]

thank you!

[silver geyser]

yw. should also be able to tell by speccing into and out of and noting the radius change

maybe holding shift over any passives would show a difference too

[craggy willow]

Ah okay thank you!! I’ve never played POE before and this is very overwhelming at times

[clear furnace]

okay thanks for advice sir!

[haughty gyro]

Is there a reason why people don't respond to trade requests done via whispers from the official trade page? Do I need to enable some sort of settings I'm missing so they can reply or does it have anything to do with me still being on act 3 normal?

[silver geyser]

there's a few tips I have regarding this

main one is to filter by recently posted or to do a live search

most people will throw stuff in a dump tab for 1ex and then never bother to leave their map to sell it because they've progressed past the point of 1 ex being something to interrupt their mapping for

so the stuff sitting around for like 1 week or more is unlikely to get a reply back

[haughty gyro]

Oh I usually looked at stuff posted maybe minutes ago but not longer

[silver geyser]

that helps

[haughty gyro]

Yet I've been getting no replies from anyone so I just wondered if I was doing something wrong here

[silver geyser]

if it's a high demand item, there's probably dozens of other people whispering for it

[haughty gyro]

Ah right 🙂 That also makes sense 🙂 Thank you!

[junior hull]

how do i fix "skill cant be used" when i put it into cast on freeze? and yes i have enough spirit

[silver geyser]

I think it has to be triggered, so you can no longer manually use it?

[sick mortar]

patch inc ruh roh

[silver geyser]

I've yet to mess around with that

OHHH PATCH

[twin vale]

What's the most braindead class I can play on my steam deck? I'm away for work 3/4 weeks and can't really be fucked pressing more than 2 buttons after a 12 hour day...

[silver geyser]

maybe a minion build

lol

[winged bolt]

If I travel to cruelty can I go back to normal any time ?

[silver geyser]

let them do all the work

[south quiver]

this gotta be good

[junior hull]

how i switch it?

[south quiver]

but how u guys get lvl 2 supp gems

ive got like 7 lvl 1 supp gems

[silver geyser]

they'll start dropping eventually

[torn estuary]

just got my first hideout on maps

do i need to do the quest 10 t1 maps first before i can use it?

[visual pumice]

Has anyone tried Fubguns leveling guide on Mobalytics for Ranger? And how good/bad is it

[silver geyser]

I have. It's solid.

I've diverged a bit from it, but it was good.

[visual pumice]

Is it just in general a bit of a slug through Act 2?

[silver geyser]

yeah

it comes online by end of act 3

cruel acts are a breeze

took me no time at all

[torn estuary]

ah nm you use waystone to travel

[visual pumice]

Ah okay, thankyou. Yeah just in Act 2 atm and feels like the damage is really slowing down and I'm getting knocked around quite a bit

[opaque lantern]

Hey guys, a friend and I were playing during act 3, and during the quest Legacy of the Vaal, before a certain portal opened, he bugged, and it is closed to him, and we can't find a way to open it, he's stuck at "speak to alva", but she isn't there

[silver geyser]

keep up on your upgrades

bow matters a ton

[opaque lantern]

An illustration

[visual pumice]

I havent been getting very lucky haha, all blue drops and very rarely yellows that are Evasion

[silver geyser]

go back to the zigg encampment

[silver geyser]

check trade website

aim for phys and + levels

[opaque lantern]

No luck, it is closed

[lapis meteor]

act 3 tips?

[visual pumice]

Is it worth trading this early on? Won't it just be swapped out again in later levels

[silver geyser]

you can very easily get a bow now for 3 exalts that'll last you until almost the end of campaign

I bet

just make sure you meet the level and attr requirements

[visual pumice]

At level 24???

[silver geyser]

yes regrettably

lol

[visual pumice]

Hahaha

[granite sequoia]

anyone know if this includes spells?

[low oasis]

Do the trials of ascendency scale to your level or you can come back it later towards the end of the campaign ?

[silver geyser]

says attacks, so no

if it doesn't specify = both

[pearl yacht]

Bro trial of schemas is horrible wtf

[silver geyser]

if it does = it's what it says only

[pearl yacht]

Like there are builds you can make that are dependent entirely on tanking damage and trading damage with energy shield and armor rating

[granite sequoia]

tysm

[quasi bronze]

does anyone know how to fix the stuck at 45-50fps issue, played for 2 days no probs then get on and its just broken, i havent changed or updated aything

[pearl yacht]

Why the hell is this about not getting hit

[silver geyser]

read patch notes

not a venting channel

#2┃general

[queen wolf]

Is there more content after main story acts or have i seen it all? like new zones and bosses (not reskins or stat increases)

[silver geyser]

tons of new zones

some really really cool maps

Slick is my favorite

bosses are reused in maps, and a lot, if not all of the mobs, are reused

there's league mechanics like Breach, Ritual, and Expedition though

[native breach]

Guys, I'm new to the ARPG genre and POE 2. I'm willing to try the game now. Is Monk good for beginners, or what other classes do you recommend?

[queen wolf]

so once ive beaten the acts ive seen all the bosses?

[silver geyser]

well

there's pinnacle bosses

so no

[echo slate]

are lightning arrow and rods affected by elem dmg on attacks affix?

[cyan moss]

I’m a ice/lightning hybrid monk am I cooked with this patch?

[silver geyser]

Xesht, namely. and one "secret" one

[lofty pilot]

can I ask why my skill now cost 40 spirits instead of 30? I cant use it anymore for some reason

[queen wolf]

gotcha so new maps mainy and two unique bosses

[silver geyser]

and league mechanics

[echo slate]

are lightning arrow and rods affected by elem dmg on attacks affix?

[silver geyser]

supports?

[visual pumice]

@silver geyser is the level of Orb of Storms very important if it's only used to proc Lightning Rod?

[silver geyser]

they can increase spirit cost

[silver geyser]

only procs afaik. low level is best. I don't actually use it.

[visual pumice]

Thankyou thankyou

[silver geyser]

the int requirement for high level is too much to sustain

[granite oracle]

at what level expedition start selling lvl80+ gear?

[static patio]

is skeleton warior a attack skill?

[silver geyser]

no

[hardy shadow]

hi, im witch bloodmage chaos dmg and completely hardstuck on mektul, what is a great dps against him ? (my main spell is 460dps)

[static patio]

then why is culling strike recomended on it

[lofty pilot]

OHHH TYYYY

[pearl yacht]

Do relics get deleted????

[void sandal]

do bosses scale with more people?

[silver geyser]

hover over it. below the skill name it'll say "attack" or "spell"

[versed turret]

Dang started playing today

[silver geyser]

no

unless they're unique and consumable

but they'll explicitly say that

[trim turret]

Because skeletons USE attacks.

But their skill gem ISN'T an attack.

[static patio]

skeletons have a attack skill?

[silver geyser]

Support. Supports Attack Skills

[trim turret]

Inherently yes.

[visual pumice]

What did you use instead for boss nuking through leveling? I'm trying to follow his guide to a t because I'm not great at this game nor buildcrafting haha

[silver geyser]

yeah, think so

[void veldt]

i just swapped to warcries, and enemies have this strange shimmering black fog around them now. anyone know what that might be?

[static patio]

i wish the game explaned minions better.

[silver geyser]

magnetic salvo

[static patio]

the game sucks at explaning them and the tooltips for them suck.

[silver geyser]

but lightning rod spam + arrow is good enough

[visual pumice]

Oh I dont think I'm upto that yet haha I have frost salvo atm

[silver geyser]

magnetic feels better

10/10 very fun to use

deletes rares

[echo slate]

are lightning arrow and rods affected by elem dmg on attacks affix?

[trim turret]

Passives and gear stats only work if they say minions/allies, and support gems work with minions based on the type of abilities/attacks/etc they use. So its safe to say frost mage skeletons use cold spells.

[trim turret]

They should be attacks and they do elemental damage so I'd think so.

[silver geyser]

those are magic mobs with a modifier

unrelated to warcry i think?

[static patio]

so if i boost spell damage does it boost spells that are tied to a minion?

[silver geyser]

I'd have to see the name plates to know for sure

[trim turret]

Not if it doesn't say minions.

[visual pumice]

Ill try give it a go when I get to that

[trim turret]

Again, it has to say minion/allies on anything but support gems.

[digital wigeon]

Where can I see my total life leech?

[trim turret]

And support gems you have a handy list of compatible gems.

[void veldt]

its every enemy, and only within they get to a certain range of me. im not sure what started causing it, only that it happened when i respecced my passives to shfit from totems to warcry

[silver geyser]

corrupted blood warcry?

[fading crater]

if u die in endgame, all portal closes?

[static patio]

support gems is the only way to boost minion damage? apart from the "increased minion damage stat"?

[silver geyser]

not sure, haven't ran warcries

[void veldt]

yeah

[small heath]

I'm confused about my stash tabs situation. I bought the game on pc, but while playing on ps5, I used some of my points to purchase a gem tab and currency tab. Now when I play on pc, those 2 tabs are "remove only".

I understand this is most likely a Sony issue. My question now: is it possible to purchase tabs on pc and have them be fully usable on both platforms?

[silver geyser]

that's probs an indicator? I don't really know

[trim turret]

There are many minion boosting stats that can be found on sceptres for the most part, in your passive tree, and on some other gear pieces. Damage, attack speed, crit chance, etc.

[silver geyser]

100% sony issue

[static patio]

does martial tempo work for my minions then?

[trim turret]

No. Sony won't allow cross-purchase tabs.

[silver geyser]

it should work for minions that attack

[twin hill]

How often does Una shop refresh?

[lusty hinge]

yes

[small heath]

So if I purchase tabs on steam, am to assume that those tabs will be remove only when I play on ps5?

[silver geyser]

when you level

[twin hill]

Ah

[silver geyser]

check all vendors whenever you level

[trim turret]

If the minions attack, probably. If you use an uncut support gem and uncheck the recommended box that list should be compatible with whatever minion you have selected.

[static patio]

does scattershot work on the skeleton archers basics attacks

[trim turret]

Yup.

[void veldt]

aha, i figured it out. this is the effect from overwhelming pressence persistent spirit gem

[trim turret]

Probably, but again, just use an uncut gem and look at the list.

[strong inlet]

wait, oh no Fixed a bug where the Explosion from the Armour Explosion Support could explode inanimate objects.
that might be my build

[twin hill]

Btw what would you recommend to buy in shop? Maybe some stash stuff?

[small heath]

Wow. What a load of shit. Thanks for the answers

[silver geyser]

ty for letting me know

[lethal goblet]

just killed a fire boss that i cannot rememebr names

[sly wadi]

Currency tab

[trim turret]

Blame Sony for this one.

[trim turret]

Nothing until the next sale.

[static patio]

well im not sure if it will work on the spell from the archer giving me 3 clouds or if it will also work on the actual basic attack

[gritty dawn]

Looking for the collapsed entry on act 2 the titan grotto quest

[trim turret]

The cloud from the archer is still an attack.

[strong inlet]

Fixed a bug where the Explosion from the Armour Explosion Support could trigger itself recursively.
rip

[trim turret]

Bows use attacks, the skeleton archers use bows.

[silver geyser]

there's two hands reaching up/intertwined near one of the memorial statues you activate

[twin hill]

When is that?

[silver geyser]

shows up as a red icon on minimap

[static patio]

right

[strong inlet]

there was a notable that gave 50% armor break on heavy stun and then you just get 100% increased armor break and chain explosions

[trim turret]

One just ended so three weeks. Shouldnt be too bad if you're brand new and don't hoard garbage.

Once the sale comes along, a currency tab and upgrading one tab to premium so its easier to trade is a good starting point.

[visual pumice]

Oh rough magnetic salvo is lvl 52 requirement I'm ages fromm that haha

[twin hill]

So wait with buying at all until sale?

[gritty dawn]

I’ve ran around this entire valley of the Titans. I have 0 clue where you mean lol

[trim turret]

I'd say so. The starting tabs are usually enough to get you rolling and we just started early access so its not like its a huge deal to accumulate wealth.

[twin hill]

I see

[silver geyser]

redish marker on your map. look around for it

should open up if you've activated all the statues

it'll only actually show up if you're near it, unfortunately

[mystic adder]

okay? can i get some progress sped up by GGG?
me and my friend just pushed through the boss viper napuatzi and got disconnected. now the progress is gone

[wanton arch]

cool...we crashed and now we have to do a bossfight agin we too 5 tries to win thanks poe XD

[weak harness]

newbie question, should I spend 8k gold in act2 for a weapon or just buy it for 1 exalt

[trim turret]

Early access, stuff like that is bound to happen.

[silver geyser]

tough one

probs latter? 8k is a lot at a2

[trim turret]

If the item is worth that value to you and is enough of an upgrade. That's your decision to make.

[silver geyser]

idk. strategy arpg

[primal ruin]

is this good for summoner ?

[mystic adder]

thats bs tho
why doesnt it even autosave`? .-.

[weak harness]

well yea i want to buy it, i just dont know if I should buy for 8k gold or something around the same stats for 1 exalt instead

[trim turret]

It does, it was likely a server hiccup.

[trim turret]

If your minions use attacks, sure.

[gritty dawn]

Ahh thanks

[ivory oyster]

any way to deactivate the auto target on melee skills ? this is fucking me up with tempest flurry
