[frank sonnet]

He can get +x to levels of lightning spells or whatever on his weapon, and other weapon affixes that add damage such as cast speed and damage as extra

[lusty hinge]

Wand has no base dmg, but it has multipliers and skill levels

[nova spruce]

OH thanks, it was too dark to notice without knowing lol

[frank sonnet]

That is an absolutely dope weapon for an act 1 fire build

[lusty hinge]

Also regular skulls, supports in them and their lvls

[ebon turret]

;-; i dont have any fire builds to play

[frank sonnet]

Attack speed is how fast your character fires arrows and proj speed is how fast the arrows move

[lusty hinge]

Stash if for when you do, or sell it

[nova spruce]

Regarding things to sell again, when you say "energy shield", is it flat, % or both are good to sell ?

[neon crown]

Np, so if you have an item with mostly high T rolls might be worth listing

[cursive bluff]

I had the unfortunate pleasure of getting ohko myself by them and not realising haha

[nova spruce]

high tiers are 3 or 4+ of the wanted mods right

[hallow kelp]

thanks does the attack speed include animations or it takes the same anount of time

cause attack speed sounds better already

[nova spruce]

Do I even bother with blue items ?

[placid pond]

apparently, his spell levels are like mine, so up, and assuming that his talent tree has been well thought out, do you think it could only come from equipment?
apart from my weapon, these are only defensive affixes that I have

[lusty hinge]

If the aspeed increases then attack is, well, faster..

So more attacks in the same amount of time

[gilded topaz]

Noob monk: How do you get charges for Charged Staff skill?

[ebon turret]

Killing Palm when the mobs have a blue dot on them

[gilded topaz]

ahaa

any other way?

[ebon turret]

Use Lightning and the Palm that remove shock and gives power charges or use a Spell that removes corpse to give power charges

[hallow kelp]

thanks

[gilded topaz]

Thanks! I am doing a cold\stun\daze build, so not really using lightning. But when I use palm now I don't get charges (unless I need a support gem for that?)

[acoustic kraken]

why cant i select the fire ascendance ? 😮

[stark lynx]

Sorc doesnt have one atm

Witch has infernalist

[acoustic kraken]

Oh shit

ehhh

[raw geyser]

That would be my thing 🙂

So attack speed will prolly be a good thing to fo for as well right?

Some of the skills take very long to finish 😁

[nova spruce]

Can I gamble for uniques ?

[abstract bear]

anyone running act 2 around lvl 24 wanna team up?

also any tips on how to know if gear is good base for upgrades would be apreciated

[bright condor]

If you join someone and beat a mission does it count in your story playthrough as beating it

[nova spruce]

Is it worth using regal orbs or keeping them ?

[primal hollow]

qq, do waystones used in the towers matter or it's just the tablet? like I can just use t1 waystone just to unlock tower?

[abstract bear]

i use them for trade i think. most people want ex but some sell stuff for regal

[vagrant thorn]

Hi guys, trading is working? I m trying to buy a item, and no one is responding

[scenic salmon]

Resistance life
Unless boots

[abstract bear]

sort the trades by last hour posted. some stuff sells quick

[vagrant thorn]

i m doing this

i just send like 50 trade request and no one is responding

[placid pond]

Does it make sense to want to optimize on two elements at the same time as a mage? (fire and electricity)

[abstract bear]

took me about 30 dms to different people to get a mid club for my respec

[placid pond]

do you understand me? Or is this a stupid question?

[nova spruce]

How exactly do you get divine orbs ?

[civic locust]

There are builds that do this. I do not know how strong they are.

but usually it involves elemental passive nodes and ailments i believe

[hollow lantern]

Where's the setting that allows non guild members to teleport to our guild hideout?

[civic locust]

but like theres that one support, where shocks dont expite on ignited targets, but that doesnt really help except on rare/uniques since the vast majority of targets would die before a shock on them expires

[manic pond]

Can anyone help me with the trial? My dmg output is so low that it takes me around 15minutes to get thr boss to 50%

[tacit knot]

Anyone has experience with temporal rift? Hoe does it work I mean if it randomly saves you frim the past. Then is it a way to retain full health and mana?

Doesnt sound like it if its random

Also does it put you in another place physically aswell?

[gaunt bluff]

Is it fine if I haven’t explored entire map

[frank sonnet]

Yes it moves you have to where you were and reset your life, es and mana to what they were

It's not random

[tacit knot]

Does that mean last time it was full?

[frank sonnet]

No, it moves you to where you were 4 seconds ago and the values you had 4 seconds ago

[tacit knot]

Ah so if u were close to desth bsck then ur again? Haha

[frank sonnet]

Yep

So don't do that 😄

[tacit knot]

Gotta time it right I guess are there indicators? Or just mentally

Thanks

[frank sonnet]

You kinda get used to thinking about it

[nova spruce]

Are diving orbs drop only ?

[tacit knot]

And timing it aswell I guess

[frank sonnet]

As opposed to what?

[nova spruce]

as opposed to using shards from salvaging or something

[frank sonnet]

Correct there is no way to disenchant for divines

[placid pond]

thanks you 🙂

[nova spruce]

so luck it is, when do they start to drop though ?

[hasty osprey]

do support gems have levels same as skills?

[lament stone]

level 25 i think

theyre just very rare

which is why theyre worth so much

[green sierra]

I dont understand why the ascent to power is still here i explored the whole area and beat the boss that allows me to do the trial is it just bugged?

[nova spruce]

I see, lvl 50 and never got one so I can see that

[lament stone]

its a bug because of cruel difficulty

[green sierra]

i assume just visual and i can still do the trail?

[lament stone]

yes, but not at this point

you need a level 60+ coin to do the trial for your 3rd ascendancy

[spare sundial]

Hi, newbie here, is it okay to ask for help with boss here? hehe

[dense token]

does "add #damage to attack" work with spells?

[lament stone]

no

[dense token]

okay, didn't think so

[lament stone]

attacks are not spells

[frank sonnet]

Yes, you might easily be late in maps by the time you see your first divine on the ground

[dense token]

right, thanks.

[gilded topaz]

How do I get Power Charges as Monk>

[frank sonnet]

The quests in cruel do not give points

[last jewel]

hey guys, are ascendancy points refundable?

[green sierra]

aight just gonna get to endgame then so far im breezing this difficulty

[frank sonnet]

Yep just go to hooded one, they cost the same as 5 passive points

[nova spruce]

Why didn't I buy the amulet yesterday when it was 1ex on poetrade, now it's 1div which is like 65ex so waaaay harder to get

[last jewel]

ty!

[wet bobcat]

go thru Faridun w me?

[hardy grotto]

how to unluck hideout pls

[frank sonnet]

In maps

[pastel marlin]

man i started with sorc and the nranger and wanted to try monk but holy shit. i dont think i can legitimately kill the lvl 2 intro boss.

hes beating my ass

i feel like a noob

[frank sonnet]

The guy outside the first town?

[pastel marlin]

yes LOL

I feel ashamed as I have thousands of hours in PoE 1 lmfao

once i get passed him ill be straight cuz i have alot of lvling gear from mapping with my ranger and shit but god damn

getting passed this mother fucker lowkey sucks

skill issue ig

[timid flax]

monk skills are not great early on

[humble bolt]

am i fked?

[azure lava]

There are no such things as "monk skills"

[ebon turret]

Warriors and Monk suck early on but massively increase after ascendancy

[azure lava]

No, that thing drops from snakes in the area. You can get it again

[frank sonnet]

What do you mean? Respawn and try again. You will need to get that quest item to drop again, but it will eventually

[azure lava]

If all classes can use all skills and gear, how can you say that some classes suck early while others don't?

[hardy grotto]

how to tp back to ziggurat refugee , i cant

[ebon turret]

warrior and monk abilities is better fitted

[azure lava]

There are no such things as warrior and monk abilities. Do you mean mace and quarterstaff skills?

[pastel marlin]

well in my specific scenario it applies because before you reach the first town, youre stuck with what that specific class is assigned

[surreal bluff]

go to last act and throught the portal again

[azure lava]

I guess, yeah. That's the one and only zone where you're constrained

[pastel marlin]

i hate it lol

imma try one last time and if i cant get this mother fucker imma just say fuck it and try a minion build maybe or make another ranger idk

[nova spruce]

wait everlasting gaze inflated to 1div because of some streamer ? whyyy

[hollow sandal]

I got a pjo in tier 2 map, should I trade it for exalteds? I can't use it for a while

[pastel marlin]

When do we stop recieving passive points? or do we get them all the way to max lvl? also is max lvl 100?

[azure lava]

Idk what a pjo is, I'd ask in #2┃after-acts-help

Oh, perfect jewelers orb

[wet bobcat]

anyone wanna help me go thru Faridun?

[azure lava]

One point per level, plus at least 20 from side quests, I think

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[twin hill]

Is mana regen the best for infernalist or element aliments

[wet bobcat]

tyty

[azure lava]

They're all equally unimpactful imo. They all give the value of 2-3 small nodes on the tree and it's basically preference

[whole furnace]

can you disable ally player's ability effects? My dad's playing a ice sorcerer and I'm melee and I cannot see SHIT

[hasty osprey]

guys i have a frost sorc, how can i using the 2nd loadout, put blink on it and use it when rolling, is this possible?

[azure lava]

Unfortunately no

[civic locust]

does "chance to inflict ailments" affect chill or freeze at all since im pretty sure those arent chance based?

[whole furnace]

lol

[azure lava]

No, they do not

[twin hill]

Im going mana = health so not sure

[civic locust]

ty

[azure lava]

You could turn down bloom, that might help

[whole furnace]

I will try thanks

It did not help much sadly

[azure lava]

It is not possible without manually swapping weapons. And swapping weapons is not instant, so it might feel clunky even if you could auto swap

[hasty osprey]

so its not really an option

[azure lava]

Unless you had one set for rolling mode and one set for blinking mode, not really

[hasty osprey]

is it possible to get more than 100 spirit without items?

[azure lava]

Yes, but only if you're an infernalist a blood mage* and take the node that reserves life and grants you spirit

[rustic charm]

how to teleport here??

[azure lava]

Idk, that's map stuff. I'd ask in #2┃after-acts-help

[azure lava]

Oh wait, click endgame at the top middle. You should have a wp to go there I think

Are you at a waypoint?

[lament stone]

refuge is in cruel act 3

but if youre in a map you just open a portal and youll teleport back to refuge

[hasty osprey]

do u know how is this possible -> i am looking at some build, guy has cast on freeze with 4 supports and blink? This goes over 100 spirit.

related build:

[rustic charm]

wow thanks i just got this map recently

[lament stone]

has spirit on amulet and body armour

[hasty osprey]

ahaa damn it

great thanks!

[ivory oyster]

where do i go for performance issues?

[azure lava]

The Nvidia driver page or equivalent

Srsly tho, make sure you have the latest drivers

[ivory oyster]

im having unreasonably long loading screens, i think it's on the part of my processor and would like to know what settings to change to reduce cpu load

Intel cpu amd gpu

[azure lava]

Is the game on an ssd?

[ivory oyster]

y

[hollow hornet]

Could someone help me with Chaos trial?

[lament stone]

thats what affects loading times

[azure lava]

I find lowering render resolution helps me immensely

[azure lava]

They mean Y = Yes, I think

[ivory oyster]

ssd?

[azure lava]

Oh, I guess not

Solid state drive

As opposed to a hard drive

[ivory oyster]

i mean its full but not at that state

[azure lava]

Your storage device

That doesn't tell us if it is solid state or not

[ivory oyster]

it is

hold up lemme find the details

[austere knot]

just bought radiant lace hood for 6 ex, is that expensive or

[azure lava]

Okay, that's good. I don't have much more specific advice. Render resolution is very impactful for my pc, though. I'd lower that

[frank sonnet]

not enough info - if you're talking about rares, it depends entirely on the stats on them

[azure lava]

We don't really do price checks here. If you bought it from someone in global chat instead of the trade site, though, you probably got ripped off

[hasty osprey]

aside from gains x per second what is the next best attribute for flasks?

[frank sonnet]

if you press f1, the game will show a graph with which things are taking up the time. The game's loading screens are just not very optimised at the moment

[ivory oyster]

testing out different things

[azure lava]

Depends on your needs and your build. X% recovered instantly is really good though in most cases

[ivory oyster]

i'll give you some feedback in a couple minutes

[solemn turret]

new to poe - on the map when the skulls for boss is colored in or greyd out. Which means ive done it already?

[azure lava]

Greyed out is done

Some are bugged tho

[hasty osprey]

is it possible to make it rare or are there legendary version of flasks?

[twin hill]

What dmg type does act 3 have the most off?

[azure lava]

Like the bog witch

[frank sonnet]

greyed out is done, if you mouse over it when it's flashing it may grey out properly, there are some weird UI things with it

[hasty osprey]

lots of fire and lightning i remember

[ivory oyster]

God damn, lowering the resolute shortens a 2 min loading screen to 10 seconds

[azure lava]

Physical and chaos for most of the zones, then cold in the drowned city

[frank sonnet]

most of them tbh, lotta poison as well

[lament stone]

those icons are bugged in cruel acts, so dont worry too much about them there

[robust quartz]

how do I tell what do I get when I upgrade quality of skill gem?

[lament stone]

hold alt when you hover on a skill gem

[azure lava]

Hold alt and read the bottom

[robust quartz]

ty

[ivory oyster]

this is wild, i don't get why this does this, i don't even need to wait when i put it back up its just instant, why would it take so much time when its on high resolution if it doesn't reload anything putting it back up from the lowest

[wooden quail]

how do i teleport?
doesnt do anything when i click it

[twin river]

Yeah... Now that I am mid act 2 cruel ... It starts to piss me off even more when I find it easy to know where to put passive points in a monk but in a warrior it looks like a sloppy mess of a passive tree. I can already plan out 5 nodes I want to go into, meanwhile warrior looks like a "no guessing, guide only" solution

[copper sandal]

have to go to waypoint

[twin river]

And it's not like any of the 5 are bad choices either

[scenic salmon]

Really? What you finding so confusing

[wooden quail]

ah thanks dude

[frank sonnet]

that is also one of the underground ones, when you click it it should swap to the underground screen. There is a button on the right to swap to underground too

[twin river]

It's not about confusing, it's about the fact that warrior has definitive picks that are not as obvious as they are in a monk. Meanwhile warrior seems to be clearly full of bait nodes

[hasty osprey]

@twin river i am also running warrior totem build, i massacred act 2 cruel and 3 actually

but for me its pretty clear -> totem nodes and then health/regen with path towards giants blood and blood magic

[twin river]

Act 2-3 on cruel are bias easy, and you're using totem build. It has a lot of obvious node picks

[fluid heart]

I guess it's due to the story but is there any way I can have access to NPC merchant or my stash in utzal?

[lament stone]

it shouldnt be confusing, every single underlined piece of text tells you exactly what it means if you click on it

[dawn sandal]

guys how do I get bombard crosbow ??

[rain mantle]

Question for the Warior class users over here. Which sub class is faster to lvl up, Titan or Warbringer?

[twin river]

The only build that might be hard on monk is going chaos, cuz I'm guessing chaos nodes are harder to pick out what's good and what isnt

[lament stone]

you cant change your ascendancy, so choose the one for your build

[twin river]

I'm not talking about what the node does

[rain mantle]

I want to start a warior, been playing monk and witch to high levels. Wondering which one should I check first

[twin river]

I have to even commend GGG for actually fixing explanations cuz now you can just straight up read how shit works. Like the fact that Res penetration got nerfed and you can't go below 0 anymore

[scenic salmon]

The one with the small passive increase is fun a lot of build variety

[rain mantle]

And which one is it?

[ivory oyster]

we need an option to first render the game at a low resolution and then upscale progressively to shorten the load times, that'd be fuckin perfect

[rain mantle]

I think it's Titan but I'm not sure

[frank sonnet]

they will probably just optimise the loading times as early access goes on, I wouldn't worry too much about it

[scenic salmon]

Yeah titan

[cunning stirrup]

hello guys, any tips on how to manage jewellery in stash?

[knotty mesa]

IS the Jagged Ground support bugged? i cant seem to get it to work, tried with rollign slam but never proccs

[twin river]

Hopefully they decrease map size as well, it turns into a slog in act 3. Would prefer more maps than bigger maps

[frank sonnet]

don't hoard items, either use them, get rid of them, or keep them for a good reason

[cunning stirrup]

thank you!

[frank sonnet]

checkpoint teleports made this a lot better tbh

I don't find the maps too big at all now

[twin river]

Better, but that is a bandaid

[frank sonnet]

I don't think it's a bandaid, I think making the maps smaller would be a bandaid

[ivory oyster]

oh ye ye i know, im not ranting, im not one of those that shits on poe2 while discarding that it's on ea

[twin river]

We are not playing poe1 where we have a lot of mobility skills

[surreal bluff]

and this is good as it is !!!

[cunning stirrup]

is there any consensus on the best modifiers for charms?

honestly not sure what to get rid of...

[twin hill]

Is there a reason to save chaos orb or just use it?

[lethal vessel]

is it recommended to kill every boss on the map or is it not necessary? am thinking like how poe1 had some sidequests that granted additional skill points

[frank sonnet]

they are tradeable to other players, is the main reason not to use them

[narrow violet]

what does quality on wands do?

[frank sonnet]

it's not necessary, they all drop something interesting like skill gems, spirit gems, etc. There are a few that give permanent bonuses and skill points

[frank sonnet]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/permanent-stats-from-campaign

[frank sonnet]

adds quality to the skill the wand grants

[narrow violet]

how much % would i need to see a difference?

[frank sonnet]

depends on the skill, press alt and look at the bottom of the tooltip to see what quality does

[narrow violet]

its still has no differene

on +6%

sigil of power (chiming staff)

[surreal bluff]

just read what sigil of power gets for quality 😉

[vagrant thorn]

Hi guys, my computer is freezing when changing location in the game. I got a quick look before this and my cpu was at 100%. It's 3 time.

[narrow violet]

I did, im just saying it has no difference after +6%

[surreal bluff]

idk what it say

well

[frank sonnet]

I don't know what the breakpoints are for sigil of power but there will be breakpoints before it increases. It will change the line on the gem that says "sigil radius is 3 metres", so if it says more than 3, it worked

[onyx sphinx]

I just got to the beginning of act 2 as a ranger but I feel extremely weak (struggled hard against the act 1 boss) any tips?

[surreal bluff]

not hard to figgure out 6% did change smth 😉

[lament zenith]

anyone have a trial of sekmah djinn with 3 trials I can buy off of them? I cant find one anywhere

[frank sonnet]

improve your gear, improve your tree, improve your skills, and git gud, are the ways you can do better

[feral flax]

holyshit

the dreadnaught is a literally wall

[meager galleon]

it means that enemies standing in the sigil will deal 0.2% less dmg per 1% of quality

[scenic salmon]

We'll need a lot of information for specific advice

[feral flax]

tight spaces and lotta small critters

[scenic salmon]

I will bet equipment

[onyx sphinx]

I imagine my gear and gems are cooked but idek what im meant to aim for

[narrow violet]

ah ok thnx, ill find the breakpoints

[frank sonnet]

how many times did you die on act 1 boss, too, cos dying like 10 times I think is typical

[feral flax]

warrior feels so unfun in this map

[onyx sphinx]

I died once but I just deal no dmg

[frank sonnet]

life and resistance on armour, damage on weapon, and you good

[frank sonnet]

if you died once you're fine

[feral flax]

is there a class that just not have mana issue

[surreal bluff]

there are no breakpoints, just read what i wrote

[onyx sphinx]

I was just patient with very low damage

[feral flax]

and how do i get more than 30 spirits?

[last jewel]

what level does it need to be for 3rd ascendancy??

i tought it was 60

[frank sonnet]

people report being stuck on him for like 2 hours. Probably people who are terrible at video games but yeah 😄

[scenic salmon]

Can we take a look at gems/weapon tree

[surreal bluff]

you got 1,2% from the 6% quality...

[frank sonnet]

if you need damage, you need to make sure you level up your gems and have good supports on them, make sure you have relevant damage nodes on the passive tree, and then just get a better weapon

[onyx sphinx]

Yeah I'll open the gamr again in a bit and DM you

[frank sonnet]

it needs 10 trials, I think that's area level 65+

[last jewel]

im gonna lose my mind i just want my ascendancy 😭

for me its the real downgrade from poe1, the ascendancy system doesnt make sense to me

[scenic salmon]

Me and you buddy

[frank sonnet]

that is not the correct bonus for sigil of power

[last jewel]

good to know im not alone on this haha

[scenic salmon]

And every other player in Poe that plays melee

[last jewel]

x)

[scenic salmon]

It's been a nightmare I assure you

[lament zenith]

anyone have a trial of sekmah djinn with 3 trials I can buy off of them? I cant find one anywhere

[carmine flame]

how does the Mana Siphon rare mob modifier work? do i only get mana removed if i'm within the blue circle?

[frank sonnet]

I think it will make more sense once the 3rd trial is in, because there will just be a quest you can do to get the 5th and 6th points and then the last points will just be from the hardest version of the trials

I'm kinda surprised they didn't allow the cruel trials to give you points temporarily tbh

[surreal bluff]

oh well i did pull it from the wiki but it is also easy just do 0,8/20=0,04*quality = actual bonus
or just do quality/0,04=X, if X is not 1 you get nothing ^^

[frank sonnet]

pathofexile.com/trade2

[lament zenith]

thanks didnt know that was a thing lol

[winter patio]

hey folks anyone know what "tier 2" words means after some items on the ground? i did not find any differences from other items
like Advanced it is already t2 item isnt it? and Expert it is t3? or no

[frank sonnet]

the circle is actually a donut, if you are far away or close, your mana doesn't get drained

[frank sonnet]

it guarantees that some shitty affixes cannot appear on the item

like low life rolls and stuff are excluded

[winter patio]

like light radius?

[frank sonnet]

I think light radius might be in, but low tiers of light radius are out

[earnest vigil]

What monster level is the last zone in act 3 cruel? Trying to figure out about what level I will be when I start endgame

[azure lava]

Around 60 I think

[frank sonnet]

55-60 ish I think?

I finished at like level 58

[native bronze]

for a witchhunter merc - is armour / evasion better than straight up armour, and is dext or str the targer state ?

[dawn sandal]

what means when weapon is Corrupted ?

[undone holly]

Can sorcs just not use herald of ice? What do they do for AoE?

[brazen cloud]

Can someone help me with jamanra boss act 2

[frank sonnet]

it depends on your skills. Attributes are most about letting you equip gear and gems, so you need whatever stats your gem needs. The bonuses they give aside from that are quite small

[dawn sandal]

what means when weapon is Corrupted ?

[frank sonnet]

don't spam your qustion bro, we saw the first time

[native bronze]

got it, thant makes sense - and then do we want evasion + armour ?

[frank sonnet]

corrupted just means "can't be changed", what's interesting is how it got corrupted

usually things corrupt and also do something cool to the item such as vaal orbs can add stats to items... or make them shit

[lament stone]

whatever defences you can scale well with your build

[azure lava]

Neither is better than the other in a vacuum and there are no target stats in a vacuum either. Generally speaking, evasion on its own isn't super great later on because it doesn't prevent one-shots and dying even once is really rough.

Evasion is a great supplement to armor imo.

As for str vs dex, it all depends on your gear/skill requirements. After those are met, it depends on whether you want more life or more accuracy. Neither is objectively better than the other

[native bronze]

thanks all 🙂

after clearing act 1 , got some new gear and wasnt sure which way to go

[azure lava]

I used orb of storms and lightning rod

Swept through the campaign

[frank sonnet]

basically all sorc spells have some kind of area component... fireball with extra projectiles filling the entire screen with fireballs, spark going everywhere, arc chaining everywhere, frostbolts and ice novas blasting everything

[azure lava]

Smh, I didn't expect to find someone with a green name saying "[class] spells"

[weary zinc]

Hi all, what do the numbers in parenthesis mean? is it like when hit, itll randomly be between 16-19% chaos resistance, or like this is the range of chaos resistance this item could have and you got 17%

[vagrant thorn]

Min and max

U can get

[azure lava]

No, that's what that mod could have been and it landed on the 17%

That tier of chaos resist could roll 16-19%

[weary zinc]

thanks

[boreal barn]

which cruel venom draught should i take? chaos res or +5 to all stats?

[frank sonnet]

See how it says T4? So this is tier 4 life. Tier 4 life is anything between 40 and 59. If it had rolled T3 or T5 or something else, it could be outside that range. If you use a divine orb on it, it rerolls only within the range, it doesn't reroll the tier.

[frank sonnet]

both are pretty good, I think chaos res is harder to get somewhere else personally

[river helm]

New to ARPG - Is warrior a decent class to get into, I hear melee class are a bit harder to play on?

[weary zinc]

is the tier determined (and fixed) by item level or is it also random?

[frank sonnet]

items have to be a certain item level for the better tiers to be able to show up on them yeah

high item level items can roll the shit tiers though

[weary zinc]

ah makes sense, thanks

[tribal wagon]

wait, so minions, they just, attack? if not used their command skill? just flat phy dmg?

[meager galleon]

not neccessarily flat phys, but yeah, they just use whatever is their basic attack

[frank sonnet]

different minions have different base attacks but yes

[jagged glacier]

Any advice for surviving Viper Nap in Act 3 when the troops come in closer? Assuming I don't have enough defense unless I'm missing something obvious

am I missing something or why isnt this going to 82? How am I supposed to get ilvl 82 then?

[azure lava]

Probably a question for #2┃after-acts-help

[shadow orchid]

the spear stabbing can be rolled. The area stuff can be mostly dodged and you should be able to tank a single hit

[frank sonnet]

that was probably the hardest boss in the campaign for me. You can dodge roll through all the spear attacks, so make sure you do that. Once they're close you need to concentrate on both sides and walk towards the gaps where they're not shooting

I also swapped to a shield for that fight, some of her worst attacks are projectiles you can block with raise shield

she kept doing her poison barrage right as the guards were doing the wave attack and murdering me while I was trying to roll

[azure lava]

If you're talking about the bullet hell phase, I recommend running to the north or south edge and watching where the green balls fly. Right after the ball lands on a guard, it'll stab straight across, be ready to dodge

[modern flower]

question, how do i get the 5th / 6th ascendency. I thought i got it in act 2 cruel via trials of sekemas on previous character but i didnt get it on newest one

[azure lava]

You need a djinn Barya with three trials for your third ascension via trial of sekhema

[modern flower]

ah, k - thanks. i must have just gotten lucky on prior character

[azure lava]

You can use the key on the trial door in normal act 2. You can ignore the ascend to power quest in cruel

[cursive bluff]

when reforging 3 of the same items do they all have to be the same rarity also?

[azure lava]

Yes

Same rarity, same base item I believe

[jagged glacier]

Thank you all. It was literally "you can dodge roll through the spears" 😐

[frank sonnet]

😄

[weary zinc]

how do you check the total value of this stat?

[lament stone]

select any damageing skill and scroll down to on kill effects

[weary zinc]

hm 88%, thanks

[coarse palm]

any help ? i can't right click on currency directly on stash tab, buged version of the game ? i dont want to take a stack in my inventory and after right click on the currency to apply it on my item

[noble temple]

How would you acquire a level 8 spirit gem when you are in maps? Is it really only possible to get them from the campaign?

[azure lava]

Or buy on the trade site

[noble temple]

Oooooof, none on the trade site which is crazy to me, edit: nvm searched wrong

[azure lava]

So what happens when you right click a currency in the stash? Nothing? Can you move the currency to a normal tab and try it from there? I've never heard of this occurring before

And I'd also try relogging

[coarse palm]

nothing appen and i tried to re log

and i want to let all currency here bc they stack

[azure lava]

I know, but I wanted to see if it worked in other tabs to try to narrow down the issue

[coarse palm]

not work on other tab i just tried

[azure lava]

And did this start happening recently? I'm wondering if you somehow rebound your mouse buttons or enabled sticky keys or something

[gilded timber]

Im level 20 Ranger going for light arrow build.

My lighitng arrow DPS is 151

Where can I farm and gear up as im still using lower level bow and havent found anything better to replace it?

[coarse palm]

i rebound the mouse click, nothing and it was all the start of the game

[modern flower]

Question - Eternal Youth converts HP Flasks to ES Flasks.
Eldritch Battery converts ES into Mana. Does this turn HP Flasks into Mana flasks?

[azure lava]

Transmute/augment white drops, ID all magic+ bases (using hooded one), check vendors, and gamble.

Get artificer shards by salvaging items with sockets.

If you need more gold, pick up all magic+ items as well as white jewelery. ID all at the hooded one and then sell everything

I'd recommend doing that last bit all the time anyway

[tribal wagon]

anyone know if font of blood stacks with multiple but same sources?

[gilded timber]

Tyvm, im new to the game may I ask what ID stands for? I assume it is Identify the item?

[azure lava]

That first part is incorrect unless I'm misremembering the keystone. Can you screenshot it?

[azure lava]

Identify, yeah. You can use scrolls of wisdom, but the hooded one will ID all your items in your inventory for free with one click

[azure lava]

Unless it specifically mentions it, those keystones don't do anything for your flasks.

Okay, yeah, I forgot eternal youth

[frank sonnet]

it does not, your life flasks continue to be ES flasks

[modern flower]

So basically if i were to use Eldritch battery, this keystone would be dead?\

[frank sonnet]

if you have 0 ES because you turned it into mana that's your problem

[modern flower]

lame

[gilded timber]

Oh i didnt know, tyvm!

[frank sonnet]

the ES "forgets" that it used to be ES once you turn it into mana

[last jewel]

Hey, im following a guide that tells me i should use Electrotherapy, but i cant find this ANYWHERE

idk if its in the passive skill tree, in some gem

[modern flower]

well there goes my monk build idea

[frank sonnet]

no because you can actually have quite a large ES pool while still using EB, if you have other sources of ES

[last jewel]

ive looked on the internet even but cant find it

[azure lava]

I'm guessing it's a passive on the tree, but I'm not sure. Can you post a screenshot of where it says that for context?

[last jewel]

Oh its from the passive tree, i read it wrongly

but im looking in the passive tree and i cant find this

[azure lava]

Well, you'd still have the effect of life recharging, so that wouldn't be entirely gone

[frank sonnet]

did they mean electrocution support?

[rough mauve]

After a few restarts cause some classes didn't feel right for me I finally found a class I enjoy playing which is the ranger

[azure lava]

That's odd. I wonder if it's a node that was data mined but never made it into the game

[last jewel]

nvm

FOUND IT

its so far away from where i am

i didnt see it xD

[ancient summit]

Hello.
Can you help me understand the skill, what some things mean and what increases the damage?
First of all about Attack Damage - Do I understand right that skill deals damage based on physical damage of weapon I am wearing? And if I am increasing damage from my weapon (Better weapon or passive skills) damage from shield charge will increase?
Second - why do skill have attack damage 85% and collision attack damage 254%? How do I understand that?
Third - what mean blue text "7 to 10 Base Off Hand Physical Damage" what it increases?

[coarse palm]

Im the only one got this bug ?

[pulsar dune]

Sooo when choosing weapons for a poison based ranger, using mostly PBA, Poison Arrow, Vine arrow, etc, what escales the damage there? Raw physical damage on the weapon, or does it consider extra elemental damage or what?

[frank sonnet]

ah yeah, these nodes were added in a patch recently

I guess maxroll didn't update their builder yet

[trim turret]

Make sure you're using the search bar on the passive tree, big help.

[last jewel]

I was, just a blindness moment 😄

[trim turret]

It happens.

[frank sonnet]

it deals damage with your shield. That's what the base off hand damage is. It doesn't use your weapon. It does the base offhand damage it states, plus the damage per armour on shield that it states. The 254% is for the collision, the 85% is for the normal area of effect

[trim turret]

Poison scales off of increases to physical and chaos damage.

[azure lava]

1. Attack damage is based on ALL your weapon's damage, not just physical
2. The charge does less damage than the final collision impact. Read the yellow text to get an idea of the difference.
3. I'm not sure how shield charge works, but it might do offhand damage and not main hand damage. In which case, the added offhand damage ensures you have at least some base damage to work with. Tho I'm not 100% sure

[dusk tapir]

Hello. Do skills gems need to be a certain minimum level to have 3/4+ support slots?

[tribal wagon]

anyone know if multiple sources of font of blood stacks? (with unlimited totem keynode)

[tacit knot]

Are jewellers orbs rare in campaign?

[frank sonnet]

yes

[azure lava]

I believe it's a binary buff. You're either affected by font of blood or you're not

[tacit knot]

So like u can't waste en. I esoecially ask as i want to change my passive tree somewhat later. From lightning to fire. I dont need to change a lot but some nodes

[frank sonnet]

don't think so, you can use a jewellers on any gem

[azure lava]

Oh yeah, it's an aura. Multiple auras of the same type don't stack

[tribal wagon]

ye thats what I thought too XD i feel like im just hoping im wrong XD XD

[jade charm]

It shouldn't stack. But either way, unless you're a legionaire you can only have 1 of those supports

[azure lava]

They were asking about multiple totems with it

[frank sonnet]

yeah you would feel bad if you respecced and lost all your extra socket spells

[jade charm]

Oh i see

[tribal wagon]

waits whats legionaire?

[tacit knot]

Ouch. So this is kinda the right spot to decide?

[azure lava]

Like when you respec an ascendancy skill and lose your supports 🥲

[tacit knot]

Playing ssf aswell

[jade charm]

nvm that. Legionaire is the ascendancy that lets you have 2 of any given support

[azure lava]

Gemling Legionnaire is an ascendancy of the mercenary

[jade charm]

doesn anyone know how armor scales exactly? is this information anywhere?

[azure lava]

We know how it works for poe1 and it's similar

[lethal flicker]

Is there a good way to kill those shieldy guys in the mausoleum?

[azure lava]

But we don't know exact formula for poe2

[lethal flicker]

I keep getting fingered

[forest bramble]

I can't tell which bow is better\

[azure lava]

What skill(s) are you using?

Those are hard to pick between without context

[shut abyss]

probly the one with the elemental damage if it doesn't mess up some skills scaling

[azure lava]

Left is better attack rate and overall damage, but right is better phys and dualstring

[forest bramble]

lvl43 Lightning Ranger (Deadeye) and all I really do is spam Lightning Rods and Arrows

[azure lava]

Dualstring tho :/

[azure lava]

What are those linked to?

[forest bramble]

Arrow: Lightning Infusion, Martial Tempo, Pierce
Rod: Conduction, Magnified Effect OR Concentrated Effect, Scattershot

[azure lava]

I'd say the dualstring is probably better for clearing and situations where you can get both projectiles to chain and activate your rods. Otherwise the left one

You're using scattershot on rod? I think that support is unnecessary if you use a dualstring

Tho I play the orb of storms and rod variant (no lightning arrow)

[forest bramble]

allows me to think less about where I'm aiming them :)

[azure lava]

No cap, I might try using the left bow for lightning rod and weapon swap to the right bow for lightning arrow @forest bramble

If I had both of those, that's what I'd try

[forest bramble]

I guess I'll keep both for now and hopefully I can find an outright upgrade by the time I reach the endgame.

By the way, does item level matter? Not sure if I should be holding onto "decent" or "good" bows that are around lvl40

[azure lava]

Faster bow for laying down rods, extra proj for clearing

[forest bramble]

I'm down to run both bows actually, thnx for the idea

[wooden quail]

pros and cons of going chaos damage vs elemental damage as sorcc?

[lament stone]

i have no idea how youre going to scale that

[indigo blaze]

does anyone know the drop rate for regal orb/shards?

[nova spruce]

OOF I just found out you need a premium stash tab to list items on poe trade ? Is this real or am I missing something

[wooden quail]

can you elaborate? im really new

[fluid heart]

How do I get an hideout? I thought it was when finished act 3

[lethal flicker]

Should I identify these items or just disenchant them?

[minor fiber]

after u start mapping some nodes are hideouts

[nova spruce]

Identifying is free so

[lethal flicker]

is it?

[fluid heart]

thank you, hmm when do I start mapping?

[lethal flicker]

I thought you needed scrolls to identiy

[stone schooner]

If a rare has all 6 affixes, it's worth 2 regal shards instead of just 1

[indigo blaze]

the hooded one

[minor fiber]

after act3 cruel is done

[nova spruce]

did you talk to the hooded one yet

[stone schooner]

And once you unlock the Hooded One, you can identify for free

[lament stone]

theres nothing on sorc that really stand out to me as being good for a chaos damage build

[lethal flicker]

hes still laying down in the tent

[clever geode]

how do i cause fire exposure

[fluid heart]

oh... here we go again I guess
thank you

[lethal flicker]

this my quest stuff atm

think im in the progress of rescueing him

[wooden quail]

whe nyou mean "nothing" its with the context of the ascendancy?
i thought the only things that make classes different is the ascendancy and starting point on passive skill tree?

[indigo blaze]

the cemetary quest will revive him if im remembering right

[nova spruce]

I think finish the cemetery thing (two mausoleum) and you'll be fine, also just use your scrolls meanwhile

[lament stone]

yea

[lethal flicker]

ah ok

[lament stone]

none of the ascendancies really do anything for chaos damage

[daring glade]

How to use these? Because I see no related interaction at the Oswald NPC

[wooden quail]

i wanted to play chronomancer which had no buffs to elemental damage anyway

[lethal flicker]

I have issues with the mausoleum thing tbf

[lament stone]

stormweaver is specifically elemental

[clever geode]

sell it

[daring glade]

so it's just gold xd

[cedar hornet]

I banged it once and got %ES and stun, do I bang again?

[lament stone]

and there isnt any chaos spells that have massive cooldowns

[nova spruce]

sell to oswald

[minor fiber]

just sell it to him

[clever geode]

yes

[lament stone]

so chronomancers kinda shit for that

[daring glade]

ty guys

[clever geode]

yes

[nova spruce]

There's a hammer skill with a big cooldown 👀

[wooden quail]

i see, do people usually double dip ascendancy or do you have to choose

[wooden quail]

i know about that haha

[lament stone]

you can only choose one ascendancy

[wet carbon]

if anyone needs help feel free to Dm me <3

[echo nebula]

yo

[wooden quail]

i see, thank you

[echo nebula]

how to see what moves i cant get without the gem thingy

[wooden quail]

should i save my uncut skill gems or just use them?

[daring glade]

Also random question, are items sold by NPCs on Act 1 cruel better than those items sold on Act 3 normal?

Asking to see if I save my gold or not

[lethal flicker]

Is there a good method to kill those Mausoleum knights?

The ones with shield spewing green shit at ya

[fluid heart]

is there a way to respec everything at once?

[echo nebula]

anyone?

[minor fiber]

no

[fluid heart]

thanks

[honest tiger]

there is a minimum level for 3rd and 4rd ascendency?

[lethal flicker]

So it turned into this

seems kinda ass

[lament stone]

yes

[minor fiber]

great for lvl 11

[lethal flicker]

yeah but i cant use it since im monk atm

[minor fiber]

keep in stash for str toons

[lethal flicker]

stash is roster bound?

[minor fiber]

all chars share the stash

[clever geode]

account

[cedar hornet]

stun again, its trash now right?

[lament stone]

level 60+ 3 floor sekhema, level 75+ 10 round chaos for 3rd ascension
level 75+ 4 floor sekhema, level 75+ 10 round chaos with trialmaster for 4th ascension

[clever geode]

still good

u got speed es mana and 1 resist

[lament stone]

basically youre not getting 3rd/4th ascensions until post acts

[clever geode]

u got 1 more slot right

[cedar hornet]

yes

[lethal flicker]

yeah thats what i ment with roster :p

good to know

[clever geode]

tbh i will exa 1 more

[crude dragon]

hello i'm lv 39, when should i invest in my gear ? (use my orbs etc) ?

[clever geode]

it's account stash so u can xfer stuff over

[lethal flicker]

quick question: for monk lvling till 14, am i supposed to use more skills, or only lightning rod and lightning arrow

[cedar hornet]

rip

[minor fiber]

haha

[cedar hornet]

1 ex for boots, 3 ex for upgrade

[minor fiber]

its still usable

[half ingot]

Does the chrono time freeze work on bosses? Probably not right?

Because a chrono with qstaff dex/int setup freezing time and then banging the boss would be hella dope

[neon robin]

Sorry for dumb question but how do I get spirit as a ranger?

[half ingot]

chrono monk

[lament stone]

not on the pinnacle bosses

[grim sequoia]

New PoE player here -- when you do SSF, are you still able to transfer items between your own characters in the stash?

[spiral obsidian]

is there any trade discord?

[lament stone]

stash is shared between all characters in the same league, so if you have multiple characters in ssf standard league, they share the same stash

[grim sequoia]

Okay, cool. Thank you. 🙂

[minor fiber]

2 quests give 30+30 , or 30 + 40

kill the witch in act3

[lament stone]

same as every other class, king in the mists in act 1, azak bog witch in act 3 and cruel act 3

[paper iron]

hey i’m tryna do the mad wolf of ogham quest at the end of act 1 but i can’t find the manor i’ve been all over the map

[neon robin]

how much does a gem cost for that buff?

[lament stone]

keep looking

[half ingot]

After beating the butcher you go upstairs where he did the thing

then through the next map, into the manor

[minor fiber]

make sure u looking in the correct map

and check all corners

[paper iron]

i’m in the fields bit with the crop circle after executioner

[lament stone]

thats before the executioner

[paper iron]

damn i must be trippin

[crude dragon]

hello i'm lv 39, when should i invest in my gear ? (use my orbs etc) ?

[half ingot]

no that's a different map

[twin hill]

Btw can you use cosmetics and such you have bought, on the standard server when the game release?

[flat pewter]

can you put a rune on a scepter ?

[half ingot]

Beat the executioner and walk up the platform, then you get to the castle walls map and after that you enter the manor

[minor fiber]

start getting good items max 1ex, start with 25% speed boots

[lament stone]

yea mtx are bound to your account, you can use them in any league

[paper iron]

ohhh ok i beat the executioner idk how i got here i must’ve gone wrong way

[minor fiber]

no only martial weapons iirc

[flat pewter]

damn

[twin hill]

Nice so no need to worry about that

[fossil junco]

Question. I beat the mist king and didn’t pick up the gem to get spirit power 😦 I didn’t see it

I’m in act 2 now. Can I go back and get it after fighting him again?

[crude dragon]

thx very much, should i buy these items on the website (trading) ?

[minor fiber]

yes

[minor fiber]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2

[lament stone]

you shouldnt need to trade at any point in acts

[crude dragon]

i'm act 1 crual ?

[minor fiber]

why not

[crude dragon]

ty so i buy boots first

[minor fiber]

if this is your first char avoid spending a lot

but 25% boots should be first priority even in first char

a lot of walking :p

[undone swift]

what is the mod that highlights loot?

[paper iron]

what map is the executioner in?

[gaunt breach]

How do you get more skill gems

[minor fiber]

google poe2 loot filter

[shadow orchid]

its called itemfilter usually neversinks makes the most popular one, but right now its not exactly complete so there is only a github where you can copy it from

[lament stone]

ogham village

[paper iron]

i got it tyty

[minor fiber]

play the game, push the campaign

[shadow orchid]

random drop or guaranteed first time drop from many points of interest in the campaign

[gaunt breach]

Ok I may just not be at the level to get the gem I saw

[trim turret]

Which one?

[foggy ledge]

Hi guys... in terms of raw survivability, you think gonna be better gemling for double hp, or titan with better small skills nodes?

[forest bramble]

Does item level matter? Not sure if I should be holding onto "decent" or "good" bows that are around lvl40

[twin hill]

My gear is underleveled, still managing to push through tho. Weap itself is like 10 levels below

[shadow orchid]

item level decides which mods can roll. Actual mods decide which requirements the item gets and how good it is.

[knotty verge]

Im doing a cold sorc build, am I grabbing any bad nodes and where should I be aiming towards?

[shadow orchid]

holding on to items that ae strictly worse than what you use is kinda useless unless you play in hardcore or want to make another hcaracter using the same items

[forest bramble]

What are the "must have" mods on a Bow for a Lightning Ranger?

for endgame*

[long timber]

What about for trading

[frigid ivy]

do i need to be in endgame to fight zarokh or can i fight him while im doing the campaign?

[vast mesa]

I play as a witch if my wand says + 10%, casting speed does it apply to my other weapon the minion long wand?
I mean does it apply to everything or only wand

[shadow orchid]

i wouldnt call that holding on to. If its good enough you can sell stuff but itemlevel 40 is unlikely to be worth much in softcore, because people will replace it fast in endgame anyways and arent going to splurge on something that temporary.

[hot fox]

Casting speed is a global modifier so makes all spells faster to cast

[shadow orchid]

applies to all spells you cast while using that wand

[frigid ivy]

anyone know how early i can fight him

[vast mesa]

using or while equipped

[lofty pilot]

Where am I suppose to go for this quest. I already have the Large soul core and Idk where to go next

[hot fox]

Needs to be in your active weapon set

If you swap you don't get stats

[shadow orchid]

using as in equipped in the weapon set you are currently using and not disabled by stat requirements

[vast mesa]

yes one is wand
the other the minions thing

[hot fox]

If you are holding both it applies to both

[half ingot]

"Return to infested barren and activate the stone altar"

[vast mesa]

OK ty

[cold cargo]

once the game gets released, do we lose the progress we did in early access?

[half ingot]

It says so in your quest description on the right

[marble glacier]

if i clear this do i get ascendancy 3 and 4 (points 5 6 7 and8) in one go?

[lofty pilot]

I don't know how to reach the infested Barren I haven't unlocked the area

[hot fox]

Yesnt EA chars get dumped in an EA league so they are not gone but they won't roll into the normal standard league

[shadow orchid]

the characters will be in a special early access league afaik. If you want to play in new relased leagues or standard you will need to start again there

[junior trail]

I'd like to know why flammability cannot enhance curse duration. When I attempt to slot a jewel with increased curse duration, it does not appear to boost my flammability duration.

[half ingot]

Press U for map, there you see the quest marker on the map you have a open quest for and the lines that lead from map to map so you know how to get there

[cold cargo]

thank you so much

[hot fox]

So the tldr is yes you will lose your progress in terms of the normal game

[half ingot]

Not sure how you got this far without having this basic understanding of the maps/quests 😅

[pseudo adder]

Did they fix the act 3 azag bog quest? The one where we cant find the boss

[cedar hornet]

chaos res or reduce slow debuff

[twin hill]

Res is usually the way to go

[hot fox]

Chaos res

[lethal flicker]

Monk, which one.

[vast mesa]

At what act do you do ascendency?

[hot fox]

2,3, maps

[floral falcon]

why don't the damage values in the spellbook change when i equip and unequip a wand

[vast mesa]

how many acts are there

[half ingot]

3 and you do them twice

[hot fox]

6 but 4-6 are just 1-3 again

[vast mesa]

twice? why

[gray willow]

Rusted 250% physical dmg🫦

[hot fox]

It's only for EA on launch it will be 6 different acts

[lethal flicker]

ok ty

[twin hill]

How is chaos immune?

[pseudo adder]

Is azag bog quest on act 3 still broken?

[twin hill]

Would it be good for infernalist that got the mana is health?

[wet viper]

no, i think base level is 64. so 64+16+1.

[lament stone]

wdym?

[twin hill]

Isn't there a node that makes you 1 hp and gives chaos immune

[lethal flicker]

How hard is it to find weapon improvements? i'm about to hit lvl 11 and im using lvl 4-6 stuff

[noble trench]

LA deadeye or the gasarrow ignite build?

[shadow orchid]

too complicated to give a single answer. It makes you less tanky against anything that isnt chaos damage and removes chaos damage as a danger. Depends entirely on how much life/mana/es you usually have, how dangerous chaos damage is to you and how dangerous non chaos damage is to you

[half ingot]

try to formulate a question using these two options and we'll get back to you in 3-5 business days

[twin hill]

Infernalist got the nice thing that convert 20 or 25% of phys dmg to chaos and the other to fire, so was wondering if it would be nice, since you stack mana

And mana is health for you

With the node

[noble trench]

Well, what build would people recommend for a first build - i hear people say gasarrow is better unless you have insane investment, then LA is better

[lament stone]

mana, pyromantic pact removes all mana

[noble trench]

Though i do appreciate the very candid and helpfull comment

[shadow orchid]

it definitely can be nice if you set your character up for it, but losing life can be too much of a drawback for a long time. I.ex. my infernalist in hc isnt using it at level 70 because it would make that specific character weaker for now

[sick rune]

Can someone please help? I am playing infernalist witch (SRS and Arsonists), which skill gem should i Upgrade quality to 20% first? I'm not sure what they do...

[half ingot]

LA Deadeye is what you see/saw during launch. Still very good, pretty straightforward. Gasarrow/ignite got nerfed but is also still viable but I prefer using gasarrow in a real poison build and get my damage elsewhere

[noble trench]

Thank you, that's perfect

[half ingot]

It's about what you think is cooler, there are no wrong choices except for warrior

[twin hill]

I see

I guess it can be nice for specific stuff and then unlearn or something, tho itt cost a lot

[zinc vapor]

Hi where can I report a bug or error for the game itself?

[hot fox]

The forums

[granite whale]

forums however its most likely already reported so look for the thread that reported it and then +1 it

[zinc vapor]

Okay, thanks

[past perch]

I got a question - There are points in the passive tree that give a chance for spells to chain an additional time, does it only affect chains or does ball lightning also profit from this?

[obsidian solar]

hi. i'm having a little bit of struggle playing merc, i'm at lvl 25 and i feel a bit clunky mobbing and doing bosses

i was thinking in rerolling into a monk or ranger, any advice in which one should i go for?

[signal dock]

HI i justtried making a clip on poe 2 but the clips are super laggy (every other game is fine) hardware isnt an issue I have a 4070 and 32 gb ram. Anyone had this too?

i play the game on 80 ish fps

So the game itself is fine

[tiny quest]

How does one enchant jewels?

[wet carbon]

if anyone needs help feel free to Dm me ❤️

[lament swift]

hey everyone, can i respec my character at any point later on ? in case i make mistakes or experement

[wet carbon]

yea but its gonna cost a good coin

[half ingot]

Counterquestion, are you enjoying merc but struggling to progress? Because if that is the case then the better question is how we can help you struggle less. But if you don't like what the merc offers then you might be better off trying something else

[lament swift]

< doable but might need a coin grind huh

[bold jetty]

can anyone tell me what Quality on the item means or what does it do?

[steady spade]

is getting 1 shot normal

[timid spoke]

How is the shipping on the t-shirt and hoodie looking? i wanna buy the 240$ pack, mainly for the hoodie and shirt...do they send it out immedieately or do you have to wait ???

[half ingot]

quality means the item is better with a certain %

[half ingot]

Depends on where you are in the game and what you are playing

[lament swift]

anyone using neversink loot filter, is it worth it ><. im new to this

[signal dock]

Yeah ! I like it

[nimble sluice]

uh depends

[steady spade]

im in cruel act 1 and playing deadeye

[half ingot]

yeah thats normal

[steady spade]

alright thats good

[lament swift]

it still shows all items that drop right?

[half ingot]

wait, normal mobs too?

[carmine flame]

where do i find the item to increase mana quality on a ring?

[steady spade]

no only to bosses

[half ingot]

yeah that's normal

[signal dock]

it does! just make sure to dont accidently push Z that will hide them

[half ingot]

Evasion is a poor defence mechanism and you probably have a lot of that

[steady spade]

yeah

[nimble sluice]

I needed a lot of evasion for it to feel good (on my monk)

[lament swift]

alright thanks alot for your help ❤️

[nimble sluice]

early on I was just getting wiped regardless

[half ingot]

I mean against normal mobs it works fine, they have lower accuracy so you dodge a lot more. But against bosses that's tricky

[nimble sluice]

with bosses, it's just spam dodge city

[wooden quail]

whats the most mobile class?
only monk?

[nimble sluice]

ranger is pretty mobile right?

[zealous rapids]

What could I do if I cannot delete Draven from Act1? I'm a witch in fact but it's imposible for me because he's luring me when he attacks me ;_;

[fallow prairie]

anyone got massive lags atm ?

[nimble sluice]

what do you mean by he's luring

[wooden quail]

thanks i will give him a try

[half ingot]

well not necessarily more than other classes. Pathfinder has some movement speed passive nodes that help

[zealous rapids]

I don't know if it's the server, but when he attacks me I teleport to him

I don't know if you understand xd

I can't evade him

[nimble sluice]

he uh should not have a hook ability

maybe you're lagging so you don't see him catch up to you

[azure lava]

Class only determines your ascendancy options and starting spot on the tree. Deadeye has tailwind which boost movement speed as well

[quaint umbra]

Anybody know who the voice actor is for the old dude in the graveyard who lost his family, Feel like i know his voice from somewhere?

[nimble sluice]

ah gotcha

[tribal anvil]

my monk looks more like a witch doctor

[ebon turret]

ooh e ahh ahh ting tang walla walla bang bang

[paper iron]

can any class use any weapon? i’ve been using fire sorceress and ignoring maces etc and only looking at staffs

[half ingot]

Class only determines your ascendancy options and starting spot on the tree.

The rest is customisable

[nimble sluice]

as long you meet the weapon requirements, go ham

[wooden quail]

how do i look at the possible skills ingame without clicking a skill gem?

[steady spade]

what can i do to make it better then?

[paper iron]

so there’s no proficiency or anything?

also i’m wondering if i can change my account username lol i logged in through steam and it automatically gave me some dumb ass username

[obsidian solar]

I'm not enjoying as i though, and since I'm in mid act 2, probably gonna swap character into a monk since I watch some videos on yt about how fast clears rooms and melts bosses

[half ingot]

Either get more evasion or look at the evasion/energy shield armor to help with tanking at least some strays

[half ingot]

Dont be fooled by youtube video's, every class can do silly stuff

[obsidian solar]

the question would be: does it get better in clearing and bossing for merc? or just go reroll into a monk?

[empty grail]

hello just started as a warriror and got up to graveyard and i get erased like instantly... any tips?

[tribal anvil]

doge

[nimble sluice]

early monk is still painful to play

[half ingot]

don't play warrior

[azure lava]

I wanna say it's the same guy that they hired for the synthesis league in poe1, but I could be pulling that out of my ass

[empty grail]

what should i play? :)))

[azure lava]

Poe2

[nimble sluice]

TIL you can't stop the animation for pulling a level

[pine fulcrum]

is there a website to buy/sell items ? Can only find poe1 related stuff

[nimble sluice]

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

[pine fulcrum]

ty

[azure lava]

Early on it's basically a crap chute for gear. Use the best weapon you have access to, try to just have an item equipped in every slot, prioritize life and resists, and play carefully. Early game is kinda like dark souls

[half ingot]

I've seen very cool merc stuff, both grenade builds and projectile builds. Act 2 is considered to be the hardest by many people, so you might just be at that point right now. Regardless starting a new character and seeing how that feels is always a good idea. Why not try something new, you might just realise that merc was the right one for you all along

[tribal anvil]

if you want to play a melee play monk, much easier otherwise go ranger

[azure lava]

If you find movement speed on boots, use those over anything else @empty grail

[half ingot]

whatever you want buddy, some classes are harder than others but they all get going at some point

[rustic hatch]

yo what da hell why dont we have customize character😭

[empty grail]

i get good items only for the other classes :))

[azure lava]

All classes are easy if you just use orb of storms and lightning rod (:

[half ingot]

Because ARPG

[rustic hatch]

Arpg?

[trim turret]

All classes can use all items so there's no targeted loot drops.

[azure lava]

Action role playing game

[mystic oak]

can i not have infernal hound in demon form? its on for both weapon slots

[rustic hatch]

so we wont get customize for that reason

[half ingot]

arpg's generally dont have character customisation

[trim turret]

Because it's a ton of work for a game where your build is your identity and you're covered in gear and skill effects in ten minutes.

[empty grail]

i mean seems kinda cursed to use a wand on my warrior

[rustic hatch]

will they add female warriors tho?

[timid flax]

Does anyone have a website to show what stats can roll on what gear, jewels , weapons etc?

[tribal anvil]

no

[azure lava]

If you get a good bow, maybe try using a bow skill. It might be better than your other options if the weapon is good enough

[rustic hatch]

aight

[tribal anvil]

BUT

[rustic hatch]

we getting dagger gem soon or what

[half ingot]

Maybe the marauder will be female?

[trim turret]

One of the best builds for YEARS in POE1 was a witch that used bows.

[rustic hatch]

but what

[tribal anvil]

it'll take time if you want a fem warrior, play ranger, withc, sorc and give them all warrior stuff and STR stat

[empty grail]

oh didn t know that i ll try and experiment

[rustic hatch]

i can do that

oh

[trim turret]

When the shadow drops. Classes, their associated skills, and weapon types are all coming at the same time.

[azure lava]

You can have another weapon that you can swap to. I found a dope crossbow so I swap to it and fire some grenades before switching back to my ice spells as sorceress

[rustic hatch]

i can give my ranger sword ?

[tribal anvil]

there's no sword atm

[rustic hatch]

okay thanks

[rustic hatch]

really

oh hell nah

why make warrior without sword

bro

[tribal anvil]

you get bonk bonk thats it

[half ingot]

Class only determines your ascendancy options and starting spot on the tree.

[lofty wren]

I have to clear all 10 rounds of this ultimatum for the next 2 ascendency points? seems crazy difficult

[ivory creek]

Warrior is like big hammers

[rustic hatch]

i wanted samurai sword bro

aint no way

[ivory creek]

Sword is boring compared to big hammers

[tribal anvil]

there's no samurai

[rustic hatch]

no it aint

[rustic hatch]

yeah i know

[azure lava]

Early access. We are missing flails, axes, swords, spears, and daggers

[rustic hatch]

i saw that

BRO

why they adding hammers

[trim turret]

The duelist hasn't dropped yet which will introduce swords.

[rustic hatch]

isntead of swords

like what

[tribal anvil]

you get monk with stick instead for asian characters

[ivory creek]

Warrior isnt sword, its duelist yeah

[lament stone]

warrior is associated with maces in poe2

[rustic hatch]

yah i dont wanna use stick bruh

[red pasture]

how can I die when i still have mana, is this boss skill can by pass MoM and CI

[ivory creek]

I dont think you really understand class weapons, warrior isnt meant to be sword its meant to be big bonk

[half ingot]

I'm looking forward to making a chronomancer monk with knives. Timestop and then assasinate everything

[tribal anvil]

its a really long and hard hitting stick

[azure lava]

You can't play chronomancer as monk

[rustic hatch]

well do the first game have sword

[azure lava]

Yes

[rustic hatch]

aight

copy paste

please

[lament stone]

doesnt mean you have to use maces on warrior, you could use a bow on your warrior, or spells

[ivory creek]

Yeah but they also have the classes complete

[half ingot]

I can make a chronomancer play like a monk

[ivory creek]

This games early access and missing half the classes

[tribal anvil]

yes

[bronze hull]

I got my first waystone early cruel act 3 should i save it for after i beat cruel?

[rustic hatch]

how many classes

do

they have

[lament stone]

swords are coming with duelist

[deft tendon]

Why is the waypoint in Ziggurat Encampent all the way across that little bridge? Why isn't it just in the middle...

[rustic hatch]

we getting duelist?

[obsidian solar]

i might give it a try with monk, in both cases i'll will be having two chars to rotate
ty

[ivory creek]

7

[lament stone]

6 classes in poe2 right now, there will be 12 by full release

[ivory creek]

Yes

[rustic hatch]

aight

[azure lava]

A monk can use all skills and gems. What does "playing like a monk" mean? Unless you mean in the thematic sense and not the Monk® of poe2

[rustic hatch]

when

2026?

[civic locust]

so the Early Access is very Caster/Ranged focus. There are still like 5 melee weapons that arent int he game yet

[ivory creek]

Next year probably

I would guess before it comes free

[shut abyss]

6-12months they said

[rustic hatch]

OHhell nah

[ivory creek]

But nobody really knows

[ivory creek]

Wdym oh hell nah, its only next year lol

[rare thistle]

guys how does hardcore work?my char gets deleted or just goes to standard

[rustic hatch]

6-12 months

[trim turret]

The sword class isn't finished yet.

[ivory creek]

They have also said previously some of the classes are close to completion

[azure lava]

It's early access, feel free to come back later when they add stuff you wanna play. That's what my friend who wants spell totems and druid is doing

[rustic hatch]

i could be dead by then rbo

[ivory creek]

Thats nothing in game development terms

[rustic hatch]

what they prioritize now tho

[azure lava]

Goes to standard

[ivory creek]

Bug fixes and balancing

[shut abyss]

hope not but it is early access soo

[civic locust]

@rustic hatch I'm hoping they add the many remaining melee classes in the next couple months but idk

[lament stone]

druid and huntress are the next 2 classes

[rustic hatch]

thanks

[tribal anvil]

I hope templar comes soon

[lament stone]

when theyll be added?

[rustic hatch]

yah bro

[tribal anvil]

oh rweally?

[rustic hatch]

i thought this would be lost ark characters rbo

[civic locust]

saaaaame

[rustic hatch]

im so wrong

[half ingot]

I mean using the time stop from chrono, then using qstaff abilities for the feeling of the default monk arctype

[lethal flicker]

is this any good?

[azure lava]

Ah, gotcha

[tribal anvil]

templar zealots ASSEMBLE

[civic locust]

@rustic hatch POE1 had a ton of sword/dagger/claw builds but we're still waiting for themt to put those in POE2 :[

[ivory creek]

yeah, no

[azure lava]

It's barely better than a white (normal) version of the gelid staff

[lethal flicker]

oof

[rustic hatch]

yeah well lets hope they are bringing female duelist too

i dont wanna be bulky berserk guy

[lament stone]

they wont

[azure lava]

You can try using an augment on it to go for a new mod that might make it better

[ivory creek]

it wont be

[half ingot]

Depends on what you have right now

[rustic hatch]

ah aight

well

[ivory creek]

I would be incredibly surprised anyway

[azure lava]

They are not promising any character customization outside of what they wear

[ivory creek]

Tbf character customisation is pretty useless anyway

[civic locust]

I'm pretty sure all the old classes are the same and all the new classses are the same gender+build of the old ones 😭 kinda wanted a sorcereor guy or warrior lady

[rustic hatch]

nah bro i swear

100% people play for character

customize

[lament stone]

not in poe

[ivory creek]

Once you put gear on you cant even really see what u are anyway

[nimble sluice]

Transmog would be nice but I doubt it's the main pull

[rustic hatch]

yeah exactly

[lament stone]

guess which gender my character is?

[rustic hatch]

both

[azure lava]

I mean, I do care about customization. But I wanna customize my gems, skill tree, gear, etc. Idgaf about my character's physical appearance

[lament stone]

yea

[rustic hatch]

yeah true

yall right

im just in the gooner mindset

[ivory creek]

Especially when u can hardly see ur character most the time anyway

[rustic hatch]

mb gang

[lament stone]

the build customization is the big time sink in this game

[civic locust]

to be fair if no one cared about their chars appearance POE wouldnt have funding

[nimble sluice]

if you really wanted to, you can pay some money for the skins

[civic locust]

speaking of the new classes does anyone else thinkg the sorc is kinda. dumb. like the char herself

[rustic hatch]

whats even best class right now

[civic locust]

she just seems really angry and surprised about everything

[half ingot]

Transmog would be dope though, way more interested in that than character customisation. I have my shabby hood on my ranger and I reaaaally want to keep it but it's weighing me down right now

[azure lava]

Appearance, sure, but you never see your physical character under their gear

[ivory creek]

Define best

[lament stone]

there isnt a single best class

[rustic hatch]

tf is define

[ivory creek]

All the classes are very different

All depends what you want to do

[lament stone]

classes are just one part of a build

[azure lava]

They had skin transfer mtx in poe1, it might make its way to poe2 eventually

[rustic hatch]

i dont even knwo how to get my explosive ranger

[nimble sluice]

define as in give the definition?

[civic locust]

@rustic hatch sorceress is pretty solid

[nimble sluice]

mtx?

[half ingot]

I hope so

[lament stone]

theyre not the defining factor of a build

[rustic hatch]

ah

[azure lava]

Micro transaction

[nimble sluice]

ah

[ivory creek]

None of them are the best in the game, every single one can be good and every single one can be terrible

[rustic hatch]

no skill, best damage

[lament stone]

like you could play lightning arrow on a ranger, or you could play lightning arrow on a sorceress

[half ingot]

you must be a very inspiring person

[azure lava]

All classes can use all skills and gear. Most people design a build around a set of skills first and then decide which class/ascendancy complements it the best for their goals

[ivory creek]

I mean all the classes can do high damage

[rustic hatch]

thanks

[lament stone]

any class can use any skills or weapons

[ivory creek]

because they all need to be able to get through the game

[civic locust]

some people wanna kill thing good, no shame in that.

[lethal flicker]

oh hell yeah my witch eating good

this gotta be good?

[ivory creek]

Plus with all the balancing they are doing a really "overpowered" build could be gone in 1 patch

[lethal flicker]

spirit and warrior minion

[rustic hatch]

yeah that dont make any sense to me tbh why would i pick ranger and go sword

[lament stone]

you could have abow wielding witch, a minion build on a ranger or a spellcasting marauder (all these are pretty strong poe1 builds)

[ivory creek]

Freedom to do what you want

[lament stone]

because there are projectile based melee attacks

[nimble sluice]

I mean you don't have to

[ivory creek]

The real question is, why wouldnt you?

[azure lava]

Most people wouldn't define a blue item with one mod as good

[rustic hatch]

sounds like freedom to crash out

[civic locust]

old ranger actually had solid melee builds. But swords aint even in the game yet so :/

[half ingot]

Look, it's a lvl 10 item with 1 statline. These things are never 'good'.

[lament stone]

and ranger might be the best way to scale that

[ivory creek]

No point restricting the players by making it so they cant do that

[civic locust]

i miss onslaught

[azure lava]

Read the ascendancy nodes for the classes. You'll notice that not a single one has anything to do with any specific weapon.

[ivory creek]

Whole point of POE is the freedom to create your own build

Not restricting the builds you can do because it wouldnt typically make sense

[lethal flicker]

[rustic hatch]

yeah i might see what poe 1 got to offer before going to poe 2 💀

[ivory creek]

I mean yeah, if you want a more complete game play POE1

[nimble sluice]

Might be relatively good for your character but holistically compared to all the items, it's not good

[ivory creek]

They openly acknowledge POE2 isn't complete, thats why its EA

[civic locust]

be warned, POE1 is amazing, but a nightmare to learn. There are an insane amount of design improvements in POE2 despite its unfinishsed state

[ivory creek]

Yep, its the best time to get into POE2

[rocky whale]

hi i have a general question where should i ask it

[ivory creek]

Its pretty much at its most simplist state

[civic locust]

here works

[lethal flicker]

my witch has a lvl 2 skeleton no spirit lvl 3 wep

[half ingot]

Maybe where you are right now, it's better than what you had. Which would make it good

[lethal flicker]

so yeah its better for now

[half ingot]

There you go

[rocky whale]

so i have a item and i put in site for trade and 100 of people are spamming me with massages but i don't know whats special about it because simillar items are only 1 ex

[civic locust]

its wild to me that they dont have a minion ascendency in the game yet despite how many minions skills they put in lol

[craggy gyro]

I'm a level 11 ranger and I feel fairly underpowered, my abilities barely deal any damage and I always need to use my regular arrows to kill mobs. Is that normal? What should I do?
