is the quest " ascent to power " in cruel difficult in Act 2, do i have to repeat the trial of sekhemas (same as in Part 1?) I cant seem to find the continuation of that quest in act 2 ?
What damage type do breach monsters deal?
its bugged, ignore it
Any tips for Viper Napuatzi?
someone told me that i can go to town while in trial
is that true
This is a early access issue.
In poe1 they dont nerf during leagues unless its like server destroying bug abuse
thanks 🙂 so cant finish it, got it
question if i cast a totem with a weapon requirement but then switch to a different weapon dous the totem dissapear?
That's valid. Some people get a lot of enjoyment from creating a whacky build and even just having it be able to clear the campaign. Some people wanna get a build already made and pilot it to success. Some people like both.
It's like net decking vs making whacky decks in magic. They can both be fun depending on the person and what they want out of the game.
chaos res might help, a poison immunity charm, learning the fight too, you can dodge through the spears the soldiers throw during the arakaalis web phase
So a build idea you have is "safe" to play for the rest of the league pretty much
Unless you hit the jackpot and come up with the next cast on freeze comet
Just started cruel and pre bought this beauty below for 30ex (im poor now lol), is this an alright bow to start mapping as lightning ranger ?thx for any answers
Cof comet is soo weird. They made it feel unuseable as a concept without extreme investment, and it was literally just using the skill as intended. I did NOT expect that to get nerfed tbh
You can start mapping with a 1 ex bow, that's overkill
Thought i was playing safe
In a good way
someone told me that i can go to town while in trial
is that true? anyone can confirm?
The only time you can re-enter is on disconnects/crashes sometimes
anyone got a clue? its so annoying lol
fk that guy
HUGE thank you for the tip about dodging! Got it 2nd try with that
If it's the 1st trial and you finished the previous room, you should be able to go back in
Is 4ex a good price for this?
We don't really do price checks here. Try searching for similar items on the trade site
kk thanks!
so am i supposed to be getting one shot by a random non act boss in act 3
tbh that's alike a badge of honor lol
it's not a "real quest", it shouldn't really be there, just ignore it
If your resists/life are bad, yeah
Which boss?
blackjaw
so this is wrong info right
Is bloxk limit 75%?
Hi guys, I am using the trade website and whispering people as soon as the item appears using the live search option. Idk if I am doing something wrong but seems like no one answers me after
act 3
Idk if I am failing on some trade etiquette or something
a lot of people are spamming them likely if you are insta-messaging and they aren't responding
default block cap is 75%, the maximum would be 90% but idk if you can raise it that high atm
75% is the default maximum chance to block, but that can get raised up to 90% through other means, I think
yes without additions
this is wrong info, cannot tp out
Likely people pricing their items for too low prices, getting spam whispered by multiple people and then increasing their prices as to not sell for too cheap.
Your fire and lightning res are atrocious
You can once you clear a room and are between rooms
What is quality when referring to armor or weapons? I'm confused since it's not referring to rarity. I'm just trying to understand the criteria to salvage stuff
fk
P
Hold alt and hover over quality
Quality is the 0-20% at the top that increases the damage or the bonus
quality increases the base physical damage on martial weapons, and base defences on armour
not sure what im supposed to be doing about that 😭
I got bored again after the boss tho
There's just always a thousand enemies
And all I do is run around and use ape skills
Getting better gear/ improve your current one with runes that grant those resists.
Okay, I'll give that a look next time I log in. Thank you guys
should i be burning all my things that let me add rune slots? im worried about immediately getting better gear and no longer having the currency to add slots 😦
ur first arpg ?
I'd hold onto maybe 2 of your artificers orbs max.
Damn that's fun... I understand that somewhat but its annoying when trying to buy something, is there a way to figure it out how much the item you want to sell its worth it without spamming low prices?
Not dying now will help you in getting better loot in the future.
i wouldnt bother messaging recent posts, most are price checkers
just so I don't need to do that in the future when selling something
alright thanks
"Rarity drop" on hexblast doesn't show, does it work for this spell ? I am using rarity build to grind faster but I can't know if it works
Can anyone explain what happens to my instance of a map when i die doing the campaign? do i lose some rare spawns or something?
Take the gem back off and look at the popup. If it has a checkmark next to it then yes
like normal difficulty campaign not the endgame
My issue is that the stats I am looking are a bit expensive and they seem to be sold a lot
Enemies respawn, loot despawns
^ new enemies
is stormwave considered as a projectile? i think it is right
And yes its kind of ass that loot despawns on ground
All gems have tags on them. Look for the tag "projectile"
Comparing your items to ones already listed and hoping that the first cheap ones arent there to bait people into listing theirs for too cheap.
Eventually we will likely get back extensions that make checking these things easier, but you will still get that to some degree even with those.
Its just incredibly hard to price items correctly, since you wont be mindfull of all the possible usecases etc.
In that case you can just hope that at some point one of the persons you message isnt spammed instantly and you get it for cheaper than it should go for.
Or you increase the price you are looking for until its the sweetspot where its the "right" price.
Is physical damage from spells still mitigated by armour?
yes
Is there anyone who can help me with the boss fight against Viper Napuatzi? im stuck and slowly getting mad at this adhd boss... :c
Guys just making sure, I see people saying “crafted” that amazing gear etc. they practically mean gambled with currency right?
I see, I am a newbie and I found a build I want to make from AceofSpades on mobalytics and in his guide he recommends a 700 ev and 400 en. I assume its after quality and runes. In that guide he provides a link to the already filtered chest armor. it might be a item that is being sold alot indeed
She deals chaos damage, which hurts a lot
Mathematically gambled yes
yers
Im not at my pc. Try #2┃looking-for-group maybe
Dont panic at the dodge phase
poison charm, some chaos res, a good amount of life and just learning the fight will help
You can try reducing the EV and ES numbers a little then to try and undercut that search.
Unless you need to hit a specific threshold for the invoker ascendancy node or whatever.
im literally trying to defeat her since one hour or such and my brain cant handle all those flashy animations...
you can dodge roll through the spears
During green spear phase, hug a wall. They dont reach all the way so just have to deal with 1 side
dont, you can get stuck in the wall
Though back away from the wall when its going to do the spear wave. I got stuck
What should i do with extra low/shitty maps? Just sell em?
Is there a reason players use the term “crafting” when there really isn’t a way to craft? Is it an arpg meme?
I think people run towers on them
You take white item, roll it for better stats, and add certain things
Any player driven item modification is technically crafting
Orbs are crafting
hence using orbs = crafting
The items used to craft are "crafting currency items". So thats crafting.
Yeah i use my 1s for towers but theres so many haha
ty
But you don’t control the outcome, in other games, when you craft you know what you’re getting
Can 3 for 1 uptrade them on the reforge bench.
Also #2┃after-acts-help topic.
Wait whaaat? I didnt realize those work for maps. Thx!
Also in poe1 theres a MUCH MUCH MUCH more robust crafting system with many interacting mechanics between orbs, crafting bench, harvest, and other crafting methods. So the name still stuck.
This isnt always the case in other gsmes either.
In fairness in 10 years we'll also have that likely
If I use essence of (physical) I get physical plus other stuff. If I spam roll alterations I force 2 stats I want.
So that you still have ways to upgrade your gear in the future.
Can someone help with Viper Vapuatzi, please?
I need 180 spirit for the build I am looking for, playing as monk invoker so I am not sure how much Evasion and shield I would need to reach that much spirit
What are alterations? 
poison charm, some chaos res, a good amount of life and just learning the fight will help
Im incredibly disappointed with current crafting in poe2, but id be lying to myself if i didnt believe it would get better. New league mechanics almost always came alongside crafting mechanics. I doubt we will get the full strength of many poe1 systems but definitely more thsn we have now
You get 100 from acts.
If the builds an invoker you can look at your ascendany node and do the math yourself.
I have EXACTLY 180, my chest has 627 eva 236 es
tbh any boss fight: accept the L and do one fight with goal: dont get hit for few minutes
where did they goooo 😭 I haven't touched crafting yet on 2
Into the void. Same as Scours
apparently the devs intended for you to quit poe2 and go play rhythm games for a year before coming back to viper
Lol all the poe 1 help team is here now u werent here last week XD feels secure 🙂
f'ing hate that fight so much
I would but I am bad at math 
what does this mean on the trade site
Thank you, that helps a lot
The tiers of the respective modifiers
Do you have the quests that give spirit as well?
Do these skills proc electrocute?
i just got this jewel and people nonstop dming me for it, how much is it worth?
not by default, they inflict shock normally
oh is r3 tier3 then?
Jup
No pricechecks. Its a great jewel tho
whats r1+r2 then?
Anyone know how often the stash tab sales are?
Also will the old twitch drops return or were they only for the first week?
mmk sorry, didnt know
every 3 weeks OR 1 week after a new league
I am about 60% done on act 3 brutal, is there a list that I could check if I missed any +spirit each act?
if you have 100 spirit you have all the spirit from acts
Should I wait for the next one to get the bundle? I have the 300 I started with.
Yeah poedb has a list
For some reason its "Rank" on the tradesite, not Tier.
R1 + R2 means there is one normal mod and one hybrid mod.
(For example pure inc phys + hybrid inc phys and accuracy)
im confused, why is it when hovering certain skills it says it will be upgraded, and for others it says "you already have this skill equipped"?
you get 30 from king in the mists in act 1, 30 from the azak bog witch in act 3 and 40 from the azak bog witch in cruel act 3
The term "while surrounded" how literal should i take that. Talking about node thrill of battle
If you are at 60 you still need the witch in the bog on act 3 cruel.
if you hold alt on it you should be able to click any underlined text to see what it means
so uh anyone else able to allocatea bunch of extra passive nodes that arent connected and dont actually do anything?
i had 0 skill points
and then it let me allocate 6 more
Cool, I am indeed at 60 spirit thank you
You already have a level 19 shockwave totem
This is most definetly a #2┃after-acts-help topic
thats confusing lol
for this item then, how do I know the tiers? like spell damage for example
its about leveling gems isnt that an in-act question 😭
I mean the topic not, but your progression is
the tiers are on the left side
oh....i see that explains it
well apparently its not tiers, its rank
what does r1+r1 means for spell damage idk
Rank one spell damage and rank one hybrid spell n mana
so that spell damage is tier 1 inc spell damage + tier 1 hybrid inc spell damage and mana
Someone wanna tell me wtf just happened
Those are the tiers but for no reason it displays them as ranks on the trade site.
Wait, is this what the shapeshifting weaponset skillpoints look like?
IF I DIE AT THE SAME TIME BOSS DIES I LOSE ALLD ROPS?
it might be controller UI glitches out and lets you allocate them with no shapeshifting
yes
it feels fucking awful
Could have been one of your negative effects causes damage to you?
OMG FUCK
the green lines indicate weapon set skill points
IM SOO MAD
The green points on the left definetly are from a weapon set.
yes but the nodes on the right are allocated
i have no idea whats going on with the elemental ones tho
yeah I think its a controller UI bug
Hoping they go back on the loot disappearing thing. It serves no real purpose. Having enemies reset is enough
hmm i think i misunderstand mods cuz im not sure what it means to have rank 1 spell damage + hybrid 😓
on controller only, im able to allocate more skill points then I have
its insane :DDD
Its probably my least favoriate change from POE1 and I really hope they change it
its just the tier of the mods
does ailment chance affect electrocute buildup? from say the support gem that gives electrocute
a hybrid mod is a mod that has multiple stats
Like 2 lines for 1 affix
no I meant MY thing is a bug.
loot despawning is intentional and I hate it
I thought so too but I didn't have any negative effects on that room.
so spell damage on its own is one mod, spell damage AND flat mana is its own mod
INTENTIONAL
Purple box at the bar says you have at least one modifier on the run
just respawn boss again
That item has these prefix mods
T1 inc spell damage
T1 inc spell damag and max mana
T5 max mana
jesus
poe1 didnt despawn loot when you died idk why they thought they needed to add that to poe2
oh if I roll spell damage twice (once as hybrid) it combines it into the one line inc spell damage?
I had one the previous round. Do they persist through the trials?
yes, all of them do until you complete the trial
Cause you could intentionally respawn at checkpoints to respan enemies i guess.
But dont like it either.
Jup
i wish they would atleast fully heal you and remove ailments when you kill a unique boss
and despawn mobs
Oh shit.. okay. Then I can't complain.
oh okay now i understand ty
a ton of games despawn boss adds when the boss dies. like its common sense
Unless you had one that was like "minus 500 honor when drinking from well" idk why it killed you though
Ingame you can hold ALT to see the original mods on an item instead of the combined lines.
I had over 2000 honour's left. It shouldn't have killed me.
havent played 1 and i struggle with making builds work lol
If you do your own thing in poe2, I personally think doing your own thing in poe1 will be not too far fetched after.
like sure a lot of things will be different, but its only a few more variables to learn
Focus on one or two ways to scale your damage if you dont already. Spreading yourself too thin between to many damage types etc will hurt you.
I teleported to a low level player for a trade and now im stuck in act 3 normal, how can i back to cruel pls ?
imo it's easier to do your own thing in poe2 because there are less mechanics interacting
is gamble shop worth gambling xD?
yea, so did the item I post technically 3 lines? or?
how many times can I exalt it
open waypoint and it should say at the top act 1 after act 3 normal
+it already has 6 mods, so no
hybrid counts as 1 affix.
I did to get all rare items
Seems to have 6 modifiers, so no place to ex slam.
look my screen waypoints are disabled idk why
How much is Item Rarity worth it? should I not care much about it? I am thinking on trading the helmet for this one this unique I dropped recently as it works with my current crit build
join a random party and then portal back
click J
My rule of thumb is are you investing in rarity? Then it isn't worth it
unless youre playing a poison build, i wouldnt use that unique helmet
Understood thank you again
And not because of the rarity, but because of the life and resists your current one has.
rip got shit xD
unique does not always mean good, the reason youd use uniques is either because theyre generically strong, or because you need the specific unique mod it gives because it enables your build to work
can some1 recommend a good loot filter, i just started t1 maps.
i use neversinks
tips for geonor monk
cold res will probably help, a freeze charm
"Reduced slowing potency of debuffs on you" don't work on self slows ?
i have a cold charm alr
it should, as long as its a debuff
Why is it saying req not met ?? I have a passive point available
ty it worked
a passive point or an ascendancy point?
you need to finish the trial i believe
can i download from regular poe site or do i need to do it from poe2 site
Can you only upgrade one path per trial run ?
you only get 2 ascendancy points per ascension trial
i did from regular site
Hey, i just unlocked "favourite map slot" after killing tier 16 boss
where do i see what it even means?
Github, atm the neversink loot filter is pc only
Ohhh okay cool
k thx guys
check neversinks twitter maybe? it might be on filterblade already, theres no poe2 filters available on official websites yet
This is a topic far beyond the scoprs of this channel.
See #2┃after-acts-help
doesnt mean anything right now, probably leftover code from poe1
What is kept between seasons? Any of the currency or items? Or everything gone and start from zero?
How many Idols am I looking for in A3
Why do I have such low resistences, do you get negative resistences as you level?
assuming I have a lot of increased lightning damage already, would a wand with inc spell damage be better than inc lightning dmg?
ah alright, thx
only any mtx you have, so stash tabs or cosmetics, nothing else carries over
you get -10% all ele resistances when you complete each act
-10% ele res for each act you've completed
For a newbie to the genre, how significant are changes with each season?
they have a new league mechanic, which may not go core, they come with a large balance patch
its mainly a chance to try out new builds
damn that's rough
There won’t be any seasonal content during early access (at the current time) so balance changes, nerfs and buffs are expected. Complete resets of progress and your stuff returns to standard.
So basically play a different class each time I guess? Any new story stuff or does it stay static?
story is mostly always the same
there were a few times where the campaign and the endgame story were updated throughout poe1, but those only happen every few years
Can anyone tell me how to fix my floor loot overlay/ui being all the way on the right side of my screen?
Thankie. I'm just halfway through act 2.
The only things added are new temporary mechanics in the form of the league
Where do I find stone altar in Trial of Chaos? What does it look like? I am losing 100hp per second now in hardcore...
I'm having a bit of a problem with my game. Every now and then everything will stay static, and then jump around. I will shoot multiple missiles once it unfreezes and so will the enemies. It feels like lag from an early 2010s game. I looked at it and I am not having any internet issues and servers seem to be fine too.
is there any item filters i should use?
How many idols are there in Act 3
I wanna say 5
You can follow the temporary one by filterblade
Download the github
Are they literally just sellables for gold?
Yeah
Ouch, now to just find the altar for the heart to go
3 in utzaal, 3 in aggorat
Is there a way to level up gear I got to my level?
Ahh okay!
Ah. That unique boot I found is gonna be useless in a few levels?
why am I so weak guys?like I keep dying,im level 13 rn
Maybe depends on the item
You almost always want move speed as a priority on boots
Uniques are variable. Like for me a lvl 33 glove is my endgame piece
Then life and resistances
It turns all of my dodge to armor. It also has movement speed.
Armor, life, gamble for items that aren't rare to get rare items
What build are you going?
are you getting life and elemental resistances on gear?
At level 13 there isn't much you can do, gear-wise, to be fair
it could also be a case of you just needing to learn enemy attack patterns
or maybe slowing down so you dont get swarmed
what are thje melee skills?
I'd make sure your life flask is the the best you can get for your level. And make sure you transmute and augment it so it has two decent mods.
any skill with the "melee" tag
Any skill that has the melee tag
can anyone help me with a boss in act 2
Could molten strike even stuff? What are stun parameters or yea..
ahh i see is +3 good?
the necromancer with elephant
We can offer advice here but if you want help killing it you can also ask in #2┃looking-for-group
depending what point of the game youre at that could be very good
Are you supposed to get spirit from quests in 2nd playthrough of act 1?
like if thats act 2, you can try to get some more physical damage onto that staff and it should last you a while
no
OH so like the skill gem levels i get it
im at level 13 - so makes it level 16
On its own, not really. Weapon skills scale off the damage of your weapon mostly. And that staff with just that mod is pretty bad.
Anyone able to give me a divine orb? Need it for surrender shield 🥲 will give you a greater jewel orb! Thanks
anyone wanna join me in act 2? level 17
This basically means that if an enemy is frozen, if they have any resistences above 0% it'll basically treat it as 0%?
It scales the gem's level, but yeah
thanks gu:) @azure lava yeah i will try to upgrade it but yeah 🙂
yea, youd want to roll a couple of good phys damage mods on that staff to make it very good
Asking for items on this server is not allowed, sorry
Ok no worries
I think act 1 the only things added that matters is what skills you choose to use. There are absolutely busted skills you can use early on that will turn the world from frustrating to bearable.
For your hits, yeah
how should i use orb of chance? keep them for now?
check pathofexile.com/trade2 and see if anyone is buying greater jewelers for divine
And hits can be spells as well, correct? Some spells, right?
Probably yeah. If you don't know what you want it of it probably better to wait
gotcha 🙂 thanks
Any damage that is not over time is a hit. So yeah, spells and attacks both can hit
Okay in that case it seems that MOST cold spells are hits then, I don't think any cold spells that I have do DOTS.
Yeah there might not even be any of those skills in poe2 yet now that I think about it
What about explosions? Also counted as a hit?
do I need to do all 10 waves of the trial of chaos to ascend?
for 3rd ascension? yes
Nice! THANKS! @azure lava
first one
4 rounds
1st one is only 4 rounds
gotta say the dajin barya trial is crazy boring
@azure lava My build is starting to show some signs of serious crazy damage when I get to a few nodes haha
So you get 60 from act 1/3 and that's it?
Gratifying n fun
The 4 ascendancy requirements go 4, 7, 10, special end fight
it displaying 10 rounds on the difficulty mod thing is just a visual error
40 in act 3 cruel
the first one doesnt actually have 10 rounds
Also another 40 spirit in act 3 cruel
ok, well I'm in the A3 trial of chaos and it says 2/10, I guess it lets me leave and ascend after the 4th wave?
can someone tell me how to deal with smoke poison when u fight sealed jhin?
Ty
yea thats just a visual error, it doesnt actually have 10 rounds
ok cool
I’m on website but when I go to divine orbs Idk how to search by what they want for it
There was a bug when djinns would drop and say you can pick your ascendancy in this trial
But it actually did not
Run around until you find the invisible djinn. When they reappear they stop spreading the poison smoke.
You are talking about the traitors passage boss, right?
Guys is this the same thing as ailment duration? If not, what's the difference?
Can inhave some help on a build plz im struggling here
yes
whats with the circles on the ground?
Any skill with the duration tag gains time from that. I think ailments also count, but I'm not sure
Anything that has a duration
it applies to all skills with a duration, not just ailments
Idk tbh
I’m getting mini stunned by fast attack mobs and dying. It’s chaining together. In D2 this was fixed with Hit Recovery. Is there anything like this in PoE 2?
Stun threshold is what you want, I wager
how do i put item filters in my game to use in poe2?
oh darn there isn't a spot on the trade site for jeweler orbs for currency I'm sorry 😭 if you have a premium stash tab you could sell it in the tab. (currency tab too!)
So it's basically a more broad and general version of ailment duration, just an umbrella term pretty much?
i got them on my account but how do extract thhem
Go to the loot filter section of your game options
what are the colors of the symbols on enemy health bars? for instance, this Fire symbol is red. then there's armor symbol that is gray. others are blue,yellow.
do the colors mean anything?
esc options game item filter
it says none
Even after hitting the refresh?
ailment duration applies only to ailments, skill effect duration applies to any skill with a duration, like sparks projectiles last longer with more skill effect duration
and both folders are empty
damn hes quite hard haha
You have to put the filter in the folder
cant hit refresh
how do i do that
But does skill effect duration affect ailments? Sorry if I'm being stupid just trying to be clear lol
Download the filter from wherever you got it from, then add it to the folder
Documents\my games\pathofexile(2?)
Yes
Well. Hm
That would be insanely op with electrocute
What's this debuff I'm putting on mobs? It's red and kind of looks like 2 swords I think. Usually caps out at 30
So I'm gonna wager that skill effect duration doesn't actually work on ailments
Yeah like I can't really tell and it's not something I can click to get more information on.
i will figure it out thx guys
In that case, not touching it haha
what are these, in the yellow box? what do the colors mean?
But I find it very odd that it's here in specifically a cold node?
Can you screensot any of these? I'd recommend reading your skills carefully. They should say what type of debuffs they apply
is there a way to upgrade base damage for orange colored quarterstaff?
A lot of cold skills have a duration. Frost wall, frostbolt, eye of Winter, etc
maybe shock?
skill effect duration doesnt work for ailments cuz it isn't an effect from the skill, it just happens to be applied by it
Add quality to it or add sockets/runes
^
i am monk
skill eff duration is on there probably because there's cold dot skills that like effect duration
Just use bell, shattering palm, and ice strike
Ahhhhhh okay okay I see what you mean.
It carries very hard early on
I think those either mean that the enemy is resistant to those elementals or susceptible to them. I forget which
how am I supposed to avoid a tornado that's half the size of the arena?
Go to the other half
it moved toward me, rather quickly
Real question is how to avoid bird
and I assumed, like with all other attacks, it would go past me if I walked to the side
but no, it's a homing tornado
sounds like a mean tornado, do you have movement speed on your boots?
20%
yhh that should be enough
for most cold spells its good, for frost bomb its bad because it takes longer until it explodes
Would be good with my build though. I want them as long as possible. But it's not really priority enough to spend a point on it.
the cast speed is pretty good for most builds tho
taking the shade on the first deal seemed like such a good idea cause it never affected me in PoE1. was real annoying on the escort mission having to juke it when it was constantly on top of you.
especially if you take the whole line of nodes that is connected to that, makes a big difference with frost orb spam
Hi guys i need help to defeat Ogham
Yeah escort slower than molasses
try 10 times
omg i smufed on that guy
Yeah, my build is actually different I don't have much cast speed actually and I have a support gem that makes frost bombs travel slower haha
try making a public party ingame
The bad news is it doesn’t get better #2┃looking-for-group
slower travel with higher cast speed means even denser damage fields, i have that too, its great
and they travel further
why is quest with red?
It’s your ascendancy
ascension quests always are iirc
whats that?
It’s where you pick your ascended class
you get special skillpoints
Hi guys, is AceOfSpades builds worth while? I am still not sure where I can find good builders I could learn from
o=
Right now you have your base class, you get special skill points with 2 ascensions to choose from. However, there’s no changing your mind once you pick an ascended class.
anyway to do this quest after ur already in maps? or is it bugged for everyone. i already completed the acts ascendancy trials
Who
Yeah, are you going for some crazy frost nova damage or frost bolt damage build? I'm actually just tossing out one usually to freeze a mob it's not the main source of my damage, I'm mainly going for cold snap and ice wall explosions to do the damage, and frost bomb. SO not rly worried about cast speed too much.
ight il come back for some advice once i compete this 😄
we dont have encyclopedic knowledge of every build and creator, link it
Build guides are approved and verified on Maxroll or mobalytics
also, just making sure, does no one have the trial of the sekhemas icon on the right? i only have temple of chaos
Found a monk build from Mobalytics and he seems to have a youtube channel
?? I have a few Rarity of Items found gear, but there is no stat on the character sheet? Is it working?
Well it should be good
do i get less exp in a party?
ive noticed mobalytics kind of just approves whatever. A lot of them are pretty low effort. That said i haven't really seen one that is like unplayable
shouldn't. Monsters get more life
ok ty
The build is called "Flicker Storm Monk"
i usually do that too if I want to be fast and its possible with enemies but frostbolt spam is cheaper dps if enemies are stronger. cast speed is great for ice wall too, can spam all 3 on boss faster, b
It looks fun but I am still having second thoughts before investing
weirdly, its a per ability property, so press G and then the arrow for details
So I'm going in again to try and beat the mad wolf of ogham, but I am about to level up, will I lose this XP if I die? Should I just run around the manor until I level up?
As I am a newbie I am not aware of any good builders I could learn from
Yeah I get that. There's so many damn ways to play I'm so happy I got into this game tbh
Exp penalties apply tho
yeah i love my freeze sorc too
like level difference?
Yeah
Thank you!
Tons of fun, you using comet? I actually opted not to. And keeping arcane armour I love that shit.
Greetings!
What POE 2 Builder guide page do you recommend ?
!guides
A short list of places to find builds for new players:
Maxroll.GG's leaguestarter buildguide section has high quality build guides
If you are more into video guides, a playlist by the youtuber Zizaran, he also has a bunch of other video guides for new players.
A collection of minion build guides created/ curated by GhazzyTV
You can also always find popular builds on the Builds section of Poe.ninja, but those aren't really guides, just snapshots of live player builds without any explanation for what makes them good or not good.
frost armor i meant i think
oh god, why did I level up the phys circles 😭
Is it just me or is Temple of Kopec just annoying AF?!
anyone know how can i know how long is a locked account
email ggg
ty
i also dont run comet, i have coldsnap and the energy bonus and mana reduction in cast on freeze. also run AA, icewall, flame wall, frost orb, frost bomb, frost nova, hypothermia and my main weapon has sigil of power, which gives insane boost if I just waste my mana on hypothermia 6 times then mana flask and blast the boss ❤️
comet is better for bosses, but for all other content cold snap in cast on freeze seems better to me
Got the checkpoint before the boss, spawns me at the start. Can't fast travel. And the sun mechanic is just straight up annoying..
question why can i not
equip a bow and a mace
if both are one handed?
bows are not 1h
You need a quiver
It’s two handed btw
I am,but im so weak,I die in 2-3 hits and enemies take like 4-5 hits
wdym
Bows require quivers
i thought bows were one handed
no
Two handed
Hi somebody knows which class i should just its like good begin class
bows have always taken 2 hands to operate lol
guys I killed the molten vault boss but died at the same time. I can't go back down to pick up the hammer. How do I reset this? man these on death effects are so dumb
It’s just physics
You don’t fire a bow with 1 hand
only reason bows can have a quiver with them is cause you wear the quiver
Do as it says and contact support.
Go agane
sigil of power? Not sure about what that is haha. I upgraded a blue staff all the way to this a while ago and couldn't believe the rolls, I swear I haven't upgraded my staff in 20+ levels but just cant get anything better so far.
I'm not sure why crossbows can't have a quiver, and not sure where I'm getting all these bolts from
It’s fine yea
Whichever one you want to try. Builds matter more than classes.
Crossbows can’t have quivers yeah find that weird
imagine if you had limited ammo in the game and had to recall every 50 arrows lol
We were supposed to get grenade launchers as separate items but that got cut, maybe quivers will come later.
how do I reset the instance??? Every time i go back to vault this guy already dead
is there something i can do with uncut skillgems i dont need besides selling?
right allready contacting. but no response at the moment
You can ctrl click the entrance or waypoint to reset any zone
ctrl click
next patch: you now need to retrieve all your arrows
a staff that doesnt give freezing shards but an AOE ability that increases your spelldamage up to 60% or smth if you spend enough mana while standing in it
just wait then
Giving away to poor people ._.
it's clearly a shotgun, they just had to skin it to look like a crossbow to fit the theme
Besides using them to level your other skills, not really.
oh nice ty
only lvl 3 but i have so many ^^
is this good?
Omg, that sounds amazing I need to start looking for one of those daym
it is odd that they seem to kick shells out of it
Yes 👍
bruh no way LMFAO
just got this for 5 ex, did i overpay?
They had grenades, why not add the world’s first muskets?
i pretty much never used freezing shards so i was looking for an alternative... not sure about you
if you want to keep the freezing shards, just put a sigil of power into 2nd slot and switch for this one ability, you can even set it to autoswitch. then switch back to deal dmg ❤️
the next best is 1 divine so im a bit confused how it was so cheap
I dunno check the price on trade website ._.
i did and it confused me hah
Someone probably didn’t know the price of their item
Same, never use them, but still, finding all these combination of rolls that I've gotten on this staff is gonna be very hard. I only use those ice shards to nuke a guy on super low health like one singular surviving enemy in a mob lmao
look up similar items.
Or they undercut it really hard
Bro the diffrence between 200% loot rarity and 300% loot rarity feels WAY more than a 50% increase
Yeah
How are you able to equip more than 1 cast on freeze?
Socket another skill into cast on freeze
i use nova for that while running. just buy a cheap sigil of power and put it in 2nd slot then, you can autoswitch for sigil and it will add the slot, you wont have to remove a spell to use it 🙂
what exactly is ailment threshold?
or they shove "decent" stuff into a tab priced 5ex and call it a day
Let me check vendor and see actually cuz this sounds cool can I dm u
The threshold/amount of dmg needed to be ignited/frozen/shocked
how many tries did it take yall to beat geonor
Well his loss is someone else’s gain
im on my third
First time? 3 times
ive never died this many times to a boss
why doesnt trading work?it says invalid when I try to,and I have the mats
sick thanks
Through the currency exchanger or the player trade
the website u open but im on ps5
Are you on console version
Moin, gibts hier neulinge die ebenfalls gerade anfangen ? Und bock haben zusammen zu zocken ?
yeah
English please?
I want to go back to 330% loot rarity but i actually need resitances now that im doing "endgame"
I tried with like 5 different accounts
What should you do with unique items that you don't need ?
Sell or disenchant
If you have a weapon of 1,1 attacks per second and a skill of 75% attack speed is that just 1,25 x 1,1?
so idk whats wrong
What does it say when you invite another player
Cool
Or hoard shiny
I played poe 1 but just never really got into it
Not many hours in the game
email them, if you are lucky they will respond to you before the game leaves early access lol
Dodging his icicle drops is pretty much the whole fight
doomed
just wondering, why some people keep items with prefixed "Expert" in the name?
mmm yeah its fine its just a genre , doesnt click with people sometimes its normal
whats better for act3, chaos or fire res?
Usually has quality
Yeah but you still need damage
well its when I try to whisper,thats when I get the error
What does it say
thanks, like even the white ones, we can up to a better rare version?
is this good?
Yea the white ones that i see with “advanced” or “superior advsnced” usually have quality on them which can be salvaged
Does it say “invalid query your account is unable to use this feature?”
what is split and how does it work with chain
Hi, I'm new and could use some help to make myself a build (Monk).
Can somebody help me?😅
how do you search for quarter staff on the trade website?
oh thx
probably ask in #1313195596709892107
i can dodge the icicle drops but the big slam is impossibel to dogde
yes
Ok, you need to reach level 25 on any character either in Poe 1 or Poe 2
TRIAL OF CHAOS SUCKS
lol
is this a good belt?
amazing game until you need any help from GGG, if that happens its easier to just buy another account 😅
oof,can u maybe buy one for me,we meet and I send u what u paid for it
anoyne know the best things to use chance orbs on yet
Kek lol no
Just get to act 2
what did u do to get locked
I’m using them on azure amulets hoping for an everlasting faze
well im stuck at the final boss of act 1
start of act 3 i got -20% all resistances,. now i've entered act 4 (act 1 cruel) and i wonder if i got any additional downgrades now?
Play an infernalist
are they expensive?
Ez game
They are worth 1-2 divine right now
So around 100ex
There is a -10% per act completion
For a total of -60%
Same as Poe 1
How much exalts is 1 divine?
I’m not trying to profit tho I need one for myself
ahh ok ty
Like 50-60 right now
How exactly do I get power charges from combat frenzy? I do have to passive tree thing and it also worked on a region earlier. But now I just dont get any power charges anymore
rtm ... -_-
best stats for a shield?
can someone send me a good gemling legionaire build
lol
use maxroll. thats my goto
bro i dont even have paypla it was a joke
probably permanent until appeal
thank you
i dont know if its good
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/d6a57a1a-17d1-4dd4-85a6-66535fbf6410/builds/1ff0566b-f0ed-4a87-9e36-070f9d4f219f?weaponSet=set1 for a very different but very effective melee build
but havoc is good
strength stacking + pillar of the caged god quarterstaff
what would be an amazing roll
hey together, can i take the rune out of the gear or is it forever like this?
anything "stacker" in poe1 was usually quite expensive in the player economy to get rolling. Idk how different that is here
permanent cant remove
expensive build
well, whatever it is, the only person who can tell you how long til you get your account unlocked is sitting in the GGG office
sad
i got all the pieces i needed for 7 ex total and 5 of those were on a very good potcg
really you just need the weapon, the rest are just fuel
how did u get the gloves
im sure thats important
dont have the gloves yet but those are for very late game
think you need to be 69 to even equip them
Depends on the drop lvl
ah okay im currently only 54
huh
and I think they might be on holiday, so could be delayed til after new years depending on what kind of breaks they get over there
yes
what
Trade with who
Yeah that loot is gone
trade death
If you die with a boss it doesn’t count
count geonor is a boss, who did you trade with?
no the boss is dead
He traded the kill he means
You either have to wait 8 minutes or reset the map
so i got scammed
Anyone around lv 50 want to party campain?
you are using trading terms to describe dying to a boss and its confusing me
whatever its fine ill outlevel the loot soon anyway
How do you convert a character back to standard instead of solo self found
mb im used to saying trade from fps games
usually theres a migration button on the character select screen but i think this is disabled for causing bugs
Ah thanks! @haughty niche
Should I wait for a sale to buy stash tabs?
if you want
i hate bosses in small arena lol
Yes why not
Been playing on WASD since launch and just tried click-to-move for a few hours and it feels rather floaty/unresponsive. (Context: never played POE1 but moba/diablo vet) Anyone else feel similar?
should i corrupt this?
im specced fully into fire dmg and just gone into cruel as an infernalist, but i dont seem to be doing alot of dmg
poe1's feels a billion times better than poe2 click to move. Stick to wasd.
how do you reset the map
Agreed 💯
ctrl+click from waypoint or area enterence
Thanks!
I get what they were trying to do, to let you keep backing up etc while attacking on click to move, but it ended up just making you feel like you are sticky and slow
Yeah u should 🙂↕️
Yeah, I'm used to attack-move orbwalking from league. It seems to hold some weird momentum.
is this sarcasm i cant tell lol
The stats are not so good to be kept i think 🤔
dont corrupt anything you are not willing to lose.
And please no sarcastic answers
new players literally cannot tell
its a starter im chronomancer hammer of the gods just got enough str for giants blood i paid 1 exalted for it so it wouldnt be too much of a loss imo
is there any support gems that increase channel speed?
channel speed isn't a stat
Is it cast speed ?
if a channeling skill could be increased in frequency at all it usually states that it uses cast or attack speed on it
how do i tell how long a channeling skill/attack takes to fully charge
is there any fire spells u guys can recommend at lvl 46? using fireball and flamewwall atm with SRS and detonate dead but its not doing a load of dmg atm
detonate dead is good damage but rest of the skills arent great
Maybe this one?
Gonna be different by skill. Are you referring to Bonestorm by chance?
Ahh not tried snipe myself, sorry.
Maybe attack speed i never tried
and does attack speed decrease the perfect time window?
how does chain interact with it do i get multiple explosions?
so many questions
lol
do we at least get to choose between chaos and sekhema for our 3rd and 4th ascendancies or am I gonna be forced to do this again?
If it's anything like warrior's perfect strike you need to release in time with the animation of the skill
Hi somebody knows which class i should just its like good begin class
technically ytou get a choise for all 8 points
hey i found a amulet with +48 spirit but when i but it on i dont get + spirit
Anyone need help in normal or cruel? I can try to help. IGN KPinJo
I played perfect strike before and less duration did work
do you have the note that gives amulets bonuses to minions?
Hey all! I haven't played in about a week and I'm in act 3. I started CoF comet and it got nerfed. What did people end up migrating to?
i play monk so no
Hi guys i got skill gem as mercenary and its my first skill gem which one should i pick first
explosive grendade 100 percent
Maybe a bug, u should take out the spirit skill gem and put it in then
no not grenade for your first, that's gonna be terrible
But im like lvl 2
its a level 1 skill
Has to be on your active weapon set or you lose the benefit when swapping.
fragmentation rounds
Hello can someone1 help me in trial of the sekhemas? thanks:)
nades with scatter are the best clear for level 1-3 on merc
i got it a little on the armor and an amulat but i i does not add up
explosive grenade is bad til you get lv 7 gems for explosive shot
they always roll past whatever you're fighting
Ahh it should be available then. You don't have spirit reserved for anything else do you?
is there a way to see my total rarity % from items and stuff?
There is also a permanent passive spirit bonus from a boss so you should have more than your gear provides.
i but every gem that use sprit in my invetory. i got +53 Spirt on the armomr but when i but it one i get nothing of the spirit added
Can somebody help me with how to make cast on shock work on ps5?? I have Ball of lightning with the gems on and whenever i try to move the orb to the support slot of cast on shock it unequips the support gems of ball of lightning. Do I have to use a second Ball of lightning orb?
i just got the 60 permanet and want to add something with the armorm but it does not add up
"cast on" gems cast the attached gems when other skills meet their conditions
shoudl i just swap to a minion build on witch to level?
instead of trying to do fire?
so yes you need to use ball lightning separately to shock and trigger the gems you attach to your cast on shock
man, this monster that punch floor in Aggorat is OP
is there a way to farm a lvl 9 gem?
new player, starting to find it hard to progress getting into endgame. I think my gear's pretty bad but I don't really have any exalteds to trade up for. any advice?
need alot more cold res
so 41% block chance plus 61% should be more than enough to hit cap at 75% but my stat page shows 41% still does it not register?
So how do you get to 3rd ascendancy, I was figuring it was in the cruel acts? but I am not seeing it. About the middle the way through second act on cruel
I got it in the end of act 3
regular*
Eventually a djinn barya will drop for you that says this will give ascendancy points
Does multiple Irradiated effects stack?
Why don't they allow you to just salvage/disenchant from inventory when you can go back to town at anytime and return anyway?
From towers
got mine near the end of A3
ah....ok
Can somebody tell me what just happened ? Portaled back to clear inventory and then it just disintegrated ?
that's increased, not added. it is (41 x 1.61) = 66
Not even. The 41% is already the increased number. Thats why its blue.
right
lovely so it is terrible
does split have prio or fork?
A normal expert stone tower shield has a base block chance of 26%
probably has 26% on the base then the 61% increased
i have improved it
who need res when you can just not get hit
😅
does anyone else have very long loading times when entering new zones?
What drive is your game on?
an SSD (the one where my OS is installed)
hmm, I normally don't and same situation for me
should be decent loading times then. only way to improve is a better ssd or nvme pretty sure
sadly far from decent. has been the same since day 1, which is weird
yikes
wait lets clarify, what is the normal time for you? like 3-5 seconds or way more?
Hey for you Witches out there. I am running into STR/INT/DEX issues. Do I need to only focus on a single stat gearing up wise? I currently use DEX gear, INT gear and STR gear, but now im getting to a point I cannot equip something of DEX as I have too much STR, but cant get rid of STR or I will brick my gear
way more. sometimes like 1min
Yeah that's not normal. What realm are you connecting to? An auto or did you pick one
I think my resistances are setup ok for my level
i mostly am on auto but do connect to milan or frankfurt
i dont have lag spikes or connection issues so far. also areas that i already loaded (like hideout) load a bit faster, but never 5s or so (if thats normal for you)
you probably want to lean into either armour or evasion or neither as a witch. Her area of the skill tree doesn't have much of any defensive things besides Energy shield.
If you lean left on the tree then you might be able to pick up armour. If you lean right you might be able to pick up evasion
you should be going for a specific type of gear, probably armor/es or evasion/es for all your gear rather than mixing and matching, otherwise you lose the effectiveness of the armour or evasion because you aren't getting enough
Can anyone tell me why my resistances are lower when im in the town? Kinda messing up my build lol
OKay - sounds like I need to go back to my inventory and vendors and rethink my setup. Appreciate the tips!!
Specifically fire res or all of them?
Question I’m trying to complete a quest called treasures of utzall I need to bring Oswald the hammer of Kamasa in the ziggurat encampment however Oswald is not here and is completely mia. Is there anyways to fix this ?
they all go 10 higher
question
why are people putting low prices on the trade site
then when i messge them
they chance the currency
lol
and the price
getting spammed and realising it should be higher value
They are super high up in the back of the town, sure they aren't there?
im trying to get lesser jewellers orbs
on site it shows 1 lesser for 1 aug
i message them and they say 1 exalted
lol
Yup @mystic meadow I’m at his location not sure I’m trying to relaunch game for 3rd time
first few listings are always price fixers
People being either A) Dumb and not checking before listing or B) Using it as a bait to get dms
does it matter if my arsonsist is corrupted? (i did just lose a slot but i can gain it back) besides that does it have any other everlasting effects and does it prevent me from getting 5 slots? or does the corruption disappear?
Are there any good builds in poe2 that don't have an equivalent in poe?
???
I don't believe you can modify a gem once it's corrupted.
Lul wtf
Probably made a mistake cause aug is the default when setting prices
does the sacrificial heart drop in act 3 cruel?
wait huh
Sorry for crummy pic but on console and using discord on phone @mystic meadow
report for harassment or hate speech and move on
does the currency exchange work automagically instead?
so i dont have to message people
yes
thank god
anyone know how much enemy hp scales per player in multiplayer
is it just me or is there crazy lag on some regions?
are portals infinite now?
Not off hand, but when you party you can check above the name on the left and it will tell you the scales
oh cool thanks
why does it have that 48% thorns? corrupting has a chance to give a random implicit modifier? or did he get drop with it?
in the trade site, if I look for an item with fire res for example, how can I look for a total of x fire res including implicit and explicit? is it just with the weighted sum thing?
from the corrupt i think
there don't seem to be any pseudo search terms yet
idk whats that but I assume I need to use weighted sum then for that kind of stuff
that might do it
makes it awful to find items this way, just need a total..
How do I start the endgame ?? I click the map device and the whole screen is foggy
How or where do I report buying coins and not getting the coins
I bought them several hours ago and I still do not have them
are there any supports that will make voltaic mark spread to another enemy?
You bought them on PSN right?
really?
Like all other corrupted things you can't modify them after they are corrupted. I would need someone else to confirm that
if gems are the same way
should be
ah so i cant add sockets to them?
More than likely no
idk if it stops you from leveling them, but you at least won't be able to add quality or corrupt again or add sockets
Hey guys. What class should i choose. I played diablo 4 warrior and maybe do not want to play warrior again is monk strong and ect. (:
but can i destroy the current gem and get an exact same one that isn't corrupted
I want to hack and slash kinda thing
yes
Wait how?
Yes I bought them previously once before and got them immediately this time this morning I bought them in several hours later I still do not have them
I would reach out to support email
Where do I find the support email
are you supposed to do anything here?
bro is dead
take it with you (😏 )
Bugged quest 😦
ah alr
imagine carrying that around
oh I can imagine it just fine xD
-100% movespeed +1000000 dmg
-500 atack speed
cut the boss in half.. and the house behind him
am i missing something? you dont have crafting available early game?
you do, look at the orbs you pick up
you do, you craft with using orbs on items
Usng the orb is considered crafting
eh so crafting mats?
If I corrupt an item and nothing happens to it, does that mean I got unlucky and it didn’t work?
it means it worked and you got nothing
but you were lucky it didnt brick
note to self chain+fork+split+bouncy on lightning arrow is funny but deals no dmg
Thanks, I shot them a message with the appropriate screenshots verifying my purchase and my PSN name
alr bro this game is stupid
why do they spawn 20 billion mobs after killing the first act 2 boss
What happens to the item for it to be “bricked”?
lost my loot again
"ambush"!
now I need to know what that looks like
you can lose the best stat for example
im streaming if you wanna see the lowest dmg ever

where can i readout my critrate
a bricked item is one that gets re-rolled, locking the item and potentially making it useless. basically as useful as a brick
Press C
Press G select the skill in question
Ah okay, I see. What are some examples of positive benefits of corrupting an item?
is there any gem that will make voltaic mark spread to another enemy?
is there some sort of a 'silence' debuff in the game? my character can move but cant do anything. happens randomly not sure if its a rare modifier or something else
that does look funny but super dumb lol
can reroll bad stats into good, can give you an extra rune slot, extra stats
there are good implicits you can get. for gems, if you corrupt a max level gem with max quality, (assuming they kept it the same as poe1) you can get a boost to either the level or the quality of the gem. and I've heard that corruption can also give a gem an extra socket, tho I assume that's only up to the max of 5
Seems the first upgrade can only take one of my 100 point packs
Will the other 100 point pack carry other for other future support packs?
Gotcha, thanks guys
You don't lose the points, you are gaining all the yellow text
It's all + no negative
those packs are contributing to a discount on the pack you are looking at. you do not lose the listed packs.
what does it mean when an item has a border around the name in the loot filter?
quality I think. look at it
yap
yup thanks
Yeah, but also we won't know what your loot filter is set to. But in this case it's because it's superior (has quality)
superior infront of the item name tells it has some quality
I'm dumb, it even says superior lol
hard not to know what the filter is set to when there's only one neversink filter in existance currently lol
I purcahsed 2 100 point packs earlier
Now I know I can upgrade instead
The first pack only uses one of the 100 point purchases, seems like minimum purchase must be $20
The other support packs do include both 100 poin purchases, so Im assuming it will carry other for future packs
unless you know how to make your own filter, but even neversink seems to be saying it'll take another 3-4 weeks to get filterblad functionality up for poe2
It's probably just a visual thing. Again you are paying the difference of the first pack vs the other packs
The top stuff is just "You already got this, you are getting a discount because you bought these"
if i hover over the skill it says 9% crit hit chance but i skilled for idk 80% does i need to do the math my sekf
I streamed and saved the VOD whenever I can as it’s a great reference to go back and see how I was doing and what I was doing wrong. We are going to have to repeat acts for every single character every single league so gotta learn and optimize
You have a base crit chance off your weapon, then you are increasing it with that 80% increased so it's let's say 5% crit * 1.8
is there any point in reading/listening to cruel quests again? is there any difference? couldn't find any difference in beginning of act1.
Does arrow speed effect feathered fletching?
Anyone know why I can't enter the Dreadnaught Vanguard after clearing "Fight your way through the Faridun"?
cant believe im stuck on first mission of act 2 rip
There is no difference besides rewards. They are a temporary solution until we get acts 4-6
Think its the way lightning rod falls from the sky
yeah seems lightning rod cannot chain,fork or split or pierce
Anyone playing warrior in early acts? Mostly running smooth through maps but bosses are a chore. I take no damage but deal none either, lol.
kidna wierd that it doesnt tell u
it can scattershot
Doesnt this cancel each other out?
no
Do the cosmetic waypoints only affect your hideout or all waypoints?
only hideout
laaameeee
yeppp
gainage and usage are different things
you refill your flask faster from killing enemies
what is charge
that means you will gain flask charges faster than normal.
So if you normally gain a flask charge once every 3 seconds, it would be 1.5 seconds
Hi im playing with mercenary i got support gem for the first time what should i get with it?
Its like percentage of the flask
i meant charm charege oops
Hold alt on flask for charge details
So charges are consumed to use a flask
does arc count as projektials
for early game
same thing, consumes x charges to use
+100 hp essentially
what is charm charge is that for flask?
cant lesser jewel orb a mace strike how else do you get 3 slots on it
hey does someone know if skill tooltip dps is calculated wrong when using two one handed weapons? e.g. when using 1 one-hand mace my molten blast deals 2367 dps, when equipping 2 one-hand maces, it supposedly deals 1877dps. I tried testing the dps, but i cant see much difference.
i think you can should be able too.
no charm charges are for the charms you equip that give like immunity to poison etc.
Flasks are your life and mana flask
Higher lvl from weapons i believe. At least thats how stsff skills get more
nope
