[dusky steppe]

thx

[static patio]

right click then left click?

[wooden harbor]

you just need a higher level weapon then? i have level 22s rn

[fervent bison]

No

[little nebula]

No ? Just left click the gem and right click the skill

[mystic meadow]

attack speed, phys damage, a lot can change the details.

[static patio]

i dont think adding more support socket slots to a skill changes any of the requiements

[haughty niche]

I dont quite know how the attack weapons get them, but spell ones get sockets with the levels of the spell on the weapons

[wooden harbor]

basic weapon attacks dont work for it

[haughty niche]

Mace strike is not a skill gem.

[static patio]

oh you mean the actual attack tied to the weapon

that one only gets more slots with char level

mb

[fleet fox]

so I can trust the tooltip?

[wooden harbor]

okay thank you

[stoic nacelle]

is there a way to remove/hide quest text on the right side?

[late drum]

i just got my second +10% cold res from the elite outside of act one camp. but without gear my cold res is still -10%. is this normal?

[static patio]

or maybe the weapon level ?

not sure tbh

[haughty niche]

I know ascendency skills gdt stuff with character level.

[trim turret]

No. Doesn't have the projectile tag.

[somber magnet]

Some new player want to go hardcore for 1h ? Then i'll play tomorrow 😄

[little nebula]

Weapon lvl i think

[haughty niche]

You get -10% resists per act.

[exotic sierra]

oh so these orbs are the same as the eater drowning orbs

[solid silo]

jamanra is going to make me crash out

[late drum]

ok that makes sense

[mystic meadow]

except faster...

[late drum]

thank you

[haughty niche]

Yes they put a pinnacle boss mechanic on white enemies...

[half ingot]

Your resistances decrease as you progress in the story as a way of nerfing players

[static patio]

its fine to have neg resis

just dont get hit

[mystic meadow]

I would say use best judgement. Factor in your skill tree and stuff too

[static patio]

[late drum]

im a monk i cant get hit anyway

[mystic meadow]

as someone with - res most the campaign and ONLY in cruel 1... idk

[late drum]

how do i see how many times ive died

[static patio]

im curious to see the flail weapon

that shit sounds so fucking cool

[mystic meadow]

/deaths

[kindred rose]

is there no vendor to gamble for gear in hideout or am i blind?

[haughty niche]

Alva i think?

[late drum]

lmfao

[static patio]

like will flails have full spiky balls kinda stuff attached to em

[haughty niche]

Flails did not exist in poe1 so we know nothing

[late drum]

what should my standard resists be in cruel 1? if i got all the buffs?

now im paranoid i missed something

[viral cargo]

is that bugged in cruel? i killed the witch 3 times and opened her cauldron

[static patio]

oh at level 40 you get 3 sockets on asc / weapon skills

says the game

[turbid lion]

gotta take all the loot

[viral cargo]

lol thx, my lootfilter hid the crappy flasks xD

[random plume]

Hey I just started can someone help me

I’m a chaos witch I think

[worthy isle]

oh best of luck getting through the first act with that lol

[craggy gyro]

sorry i didnt know where else to post this does anyone know how this works?

if i buy the upgrade pack in game i get an irl hoodie and t shirt? how do i get it

[mystic meadow]

You also pay shipping. Fill in size and address

[craggy gyro]

they send you an email or something?

[crude plaza]

Any easy way to get uncut spirit gem? Level 1.
Need herald of ash for my build but dont meet the STR requirement for it with a higher level gem.

If I put on gear with STR to engrave the buff then switch back to my DEX gear, will it still work?

[spice saffron]

does attack damage help lightning damage too?

[mystic meadow]

It has you fill everything out and pick your sizes

[worthy isle]

$240 🤣

[craggy gyro]

Thank you so much

[random plume]

What’s the best class then?

[mystic meadow]

It will not if you switch out. You should probably just blast some lower level areas. Like act 2 regular

[flat lance]

Hey

Anyone free ?

[crude plaza]

The drop chance bout to ruin my day ;.; ty tho :)

[flat lance]

I could use some help 😊

[mystic meadow]

With what?

[worthy isle]

Subjective but likely Ranger's dps is strong at the start. If you are not running minions on witch, you will suffer for a fair bit of the game, but its worth later on

[random plume]

Alr

[flat lance]

Temple of chaos
I’m willing to give some of my good orbs up for the help 👌🏽

[mystic meadow]

Try in #2┃looking-for-group

[random plume]

I need someone to give me all they shit

🗣️

[livid wagon]

u would get tequila

:L

[upbeat canyon]

if you put inspiration in a cast on freeze/lightning conduit setup, does it reduce the amount of energy needed to proc lightning conduit?

[worthy isle]

what level are you? I can give you bunch of crap I dont use anymore

[random plume]

Level 4

Lol

[livid wagon]

lol

[random plume]

I want some items that I can use late game or early

It doesn’t matter fr

[inland sentinel]

We don’t condone trades/giveaways just btw

Per rule 6

[random plume]

Oh okay

[worthy isle]

Let me see what I got

[random plume]

For what reason tho

[random plume]

Much appreciated

[livid wagon]

begging isnt pretty

i do have a pimp unique chest good for noobs tho

[inland sentinel]

It’s just to prevent spamming and begging isn’t good for anyone

[random plume]

Woah

[random plume]

Ah I see

[livid wagon]

i used to duel outside orgrimmar for gold in wow classic but always when i was drunk... then i quit playing for a bit and logged back in and had no gold..

i asked in clan.,.. which i used to be the leader of for a little bit of gold and some numpty said.. no begging.. it's like boi wut

[random plume]

That’s crazy

Isn’t Wow a paid subscription

Or a 1 time purchase?

[livid wagon]

i paid an ingame subsription to suck in duels

[random plume]

Lmao

[livid wagon]

i was so loude as well.. i'd be like come duel the future server first warlord

before honor was patched in

[static patio]

can you run the same skill multiple times in this game? for example spirit skills ?

[exotic sierra]

used to be one time purchase I think. last I tried it they had it set up as F2P up to lv 20.

[livid wagon]

i wish there was more mmo to poe.. the hubs are lively

it would be nice to bump into ppl out in the world tho

[exotic sierra]

that would take alot of work for a game that already struggles to handle some builds in groups

[livid wagon]

i'd settle for trials of sekhemas that dont make me want to scratch my eyes out first

[spice saffron]

okay dumb question but... is the only way to level gems is by the uncut gem stones?

[exotic sierra]

yes

[haughty niche]

I feel like 2 people can be great, but the moment 3 are on screen you cant tell whats going on regardless of builds

[errant vapor]

corrupting skills can also give +1lvls

[livid wagon]

life is so hard on console... keep accidentally inviting ppl/.

[spice saffron]

okayy thanks!

[weak harness]

if I have a ring with % inc to lightning damage, is that the same as having a passive node with the same increase?

[livid wagon]

someone joined for one boss ... i didnt need the help but they got some of the loot

<

[regal escarp]

anyone know why every instances is maxed at 5 players when POE2 is supposed to be 6 player max?

[livid wagon]

it was a regal orb so not so bad but i wouldve been gutted if it was ex;alted or better

[haughty niche]

They arent?

[regal escarp]

...

show me a screenshot with 6 players

[marsh shoal]

Can someone please help me with Act 2 boss please? my IGN is Matgoldeneyes

[regal escarp]

is that POE2 or POE1?

wtf..

[haughty niche]

Empy + 5 others. poe2.

[regal escarp]

is there a setting for 6 players?

[haughty niche]

no. you just have 6 people join a party

[hollow garnet]

anyone wanna power level me im level 15 :3

[hard hollow]

Could use some help with my act 1 build, tagging here since it looks like most build threads dont get replies and I used those threads so I could compile my whole build info without clogging chat

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1319808223599132763

[quartz kindle]

anyone know if there still will be a daily sale today? A 4 days specials just started from yesterday.

[exotic sierra]

nothing in poe1 even looks remotelyl ike that

[regal escarp]

every instances i see has a max of 5 players

[steep sparrow]

hey, can someone give me a quick rundown on what waystones to use on what maps?

[haughty niche]

What is the game saying when you try to add a 6th? Have you even tried?

[steep sparrow]

Like, do i run my "juiced" waystones on regular nodes ( non boss )

[haughty niche]

poe community doesn't really do that.

it takes several hours to even reach a higher level / get out of campaign.

[steep sparrow]

or do I run my juiced waystones on harder maps ( breach, corr, etc.)

[exotic sierra]

@marsh shoal and @hard hollow try using the https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714168576249887 or making a public party ingame

[steep sparrow]

d

[hard hollow]

huh

[regal escarp]

Every instances maxes out at 5 players.. i never see a 6/6..

[haughty niche]

I assume it removes full parties from view.

Since you couldnt join them

[exotic sierra]

you can also make your own party

[regal escarp]

even when i join a game, it's always 5 people max

only 4 people shows up on left side of screen

[haughty niche]

I wouldnt be surprised if theres a ui bug that removes parties from the list at 5/6 people, but i kind of dpubt thats the case.

[regal escarp]

it's been like this all week..

[spare peak]

how come when i block it swaps my weapon slot instantly killing my skeletons, is there a way i can have my wand, the scepter and the shield synergized?

[haughty niche]

Do you have a shield on the one with your skeles

Otherwise you cant block

[weak harness]

if I have a ring with % inc to lightning damage, is that the same as having a passive node with the same increase?

[hollow tendon]

can anyone help me with my build? I can't get through a trial or even out in the world without dying over and over :c

[crude plaza]

Which are more expensive? Divine or exalted orbs?

[haughty niche]

Div

[weak harness]

whats your class?

[hollow tendon]

sorc! :c

[hollow tendon]

going for ice/lightning build. i wanted hex but i dont think itll work for this lol

[haughty niche]

how are you dying

like whats getting you

[weak harness]

youd probably get better help in #1313195596709892107 btw build wise
are u using your own build?

[hollow tendon]

everything hahaahhaa, i dont do enough dmg

[haughty niche]

so you just get swarmed?

[hollow tendon]

ye[

yeah**

[haughty niche]

do you freeze in ~2 hits?

[weak harness]

but do u get to boss and it just takes you too long? are u having trouble with mobs?

[haughty niche]

or does it take way more

[hollow tendon]

yes trouble with mobs

and yeah more

takes forever tbh

[haughty niche]

ok then DEFINITELY a damage issue

[hollow tendon]

I'm obviously doing something wrong

[haughty niche]

i assume you dont have comet yet

[hollow tendon]

nope :c

[haughty niche]

do you have coldsnap

[hollow tendon]

yes

[haughty niche]

Thats probably your damage option

[hollow tendon]

lvl 26 1/2

I tried that but I was still dying

[haughty niche]

I used Freezing Shards + Coldsnap for all of campaign

froze in 2 hits and shattered for full hp or ~bit over half of a rare's

Frost bomb helps a lot.

[runic karma]

Could anyone help us with Geonor please? 🙂

[viral cargo]

once you have icewall, frost really slaps

use icewall for damage with frostbomb and kill everything

[hollow tendon]

yeah i dont have that yet, idk when it unlocks

[haughty niche]

I think i had Coldsnap + Conc effect + Unleash for a long time.

Unleash isn't good singletarget, but what it does is make the coldsnap chain off of its own freeze when theres 2 enemies next to eachother

so it kind of just detonates packs

[hollow tendon]

i like bone storm

[manic marten]

quick question: does anyone understand the difference between 'Shock' and 'Electrocute'? seems both happen when the enemy is dealt enough Lightning damage, but what's the difference?

[viral cargo]

is unleash a support gem?

[haughty niche]

shock makes the enemy take increased damage. Electrocute builds up and eventually staggers the enemy

[covert notch]

What do skulls mean in the map some are gray some are colored

[haughty niche]

grey means you killed the boss

coloured means you didnt

[manic marten]

ah, so technically as long as I'm dealing Lightning damage specifically, it should contribute to both ailments, correct?

[haughty niche]

no

Lightning can shock by default.

I believe the skill needs to specify that it electrocutes

like Electrocuting arrow has a clause

[manic marten]

ah, Electrocute I need to invest in then, right?

[haughty niche]

thats elec arrow for example

[fading adder]

Which is better 30% increase charms charges gained or 15% increase life recovery on flask ?

[static patio]

this item might allow you to electrocute on any lightning dmg?

[turbid owl]

Guys you ever have an issue where when trying to deposit into a currency stash tab the items deposit into a different tab? On console

[manic marten]

@haughty niche yeah that sounds about right, I have a few skill nodes and support gems in Monk that specify it, I just wasn't sure if Lightning dmg by default was already contributing to Electrocute, thanks, I think I know how to invest in it based on your answer 👍

[kind dove]

Does Spiked Shell works on Trial boss?

[marsh oxide]

is this thing good?

[haughty niche]

probably feels nice early on.

otherwise doesn't give enough

[flat lance]

Act 3 help anyone wanna party up ?

[haughty niche]

#2┃looking-for-group

[marsh oxide]

ty what about this?
I am playing as a sorc? do i want it

[kindred rose]

Rate my cooking skills 🔥 🙏

[haughty niche]

those boots sound like they simulate poor connection. Id probably get motion sick using them

[compact matrix]

How to avoid the sand attack of act 2 final boss ?

[hallow raft]

LOL

[compact matrix]

It just insta kills me

[marsh oxide]

haha, I assume they are for rangers?

[trail matrix]

stand in the force field created by the npc that helps you

[compact matrix]

Cool thanks

[haughty niche]

honestly idk whho they are for

[trail matrix]

they are for vendors to give you chance shards

[shell bronze]

this Zalmarath the Living Colossus fight seems bugged to the point of being almost unbeatable for melee

[exotic sierra]

should have dropped 2 green items if you killed it

then you need to take one of them back to a town npc

then it greys out the icon

[vernal sequoia]

thats all that he droped

[marsh oxide]

fair enough lol

[marsh oxide]

roll a 40% and just apply aoe dot or use minions idk?

[flat lance]

Anyone wanna party up and hop in a call

[civic stone]

can someone help me do my trial run been trying for 2 hours now

[haughty niche]

i didnt do my trials until the end of the acts they were in

[marsh oxide]

will it get better if i roll them with orbs?

[haughty niche]

what orbs

Divine orbs are incredibly expensive. I wouldn't

[trail matrix]

if you mean divine then hell no

[marsh oxide]

ah

[trail matrix]

for a divine you could fill your inventory with these and still keep more than half of its value

[marsh oxide]

so ig I will get better ones later on?

[civic stone]

im trying to do the first trial in act 2

[trail matrix]

tbh with a divine you could even get better ones now

[hidden steppe]

guys how do i know if an item has a good base? is it just the highest item level for what i need?

[trail matrix]

but if you are not endgame i'd wait with spending it

[shell bronze]

is there a way to have my attack go where my mouse is clicking and not auto-focus some game picked target?

[azure lava]

Sadly no. Namelocking cannot be disabled

[compact matrix]

Had to fight the act 2 final boss for 7 minutes straight because of how tanky he is 💀

[little nebula]

[abstract flare]

im out of waystone, how can i get more to play? (no more in shop)

[azure lava]

Grind act 3 cruel or buy some from other players

[shell bronze]

how am I suppsed to beat this Zalmarath the Living Colossus boss then?

this seems impossible simply due to the fact that my characters swings at his hand no matter where I click

[little nebula]

You can only attack his left arm 🤔

[shell bronze]

right, but if he moves his hand a bit, and I drop my bell to hit the bell for damage (I'm a monk), he doesn't hit the bell, he swings at his hand...

[marsh oxide]

can you remove runes in poe2?

[azure lava]

Nope, read their description

[azure lava]

Can you namelock the bell?

[little nebula]

That bastard is bugging, i played warrior before and my chad just goes way down to his leg

[craggy gyro]

I've completed the campaign is there any good spots to farm exalted orbs

[little nebula]

As well as those raging spirits

[marsh oxide]

ty

is giant the highest tier for potions?

[shell bronze]

how would I go about that? if I can, I def will

[shell bronze]

no

[marsh oxide]

what is?
also which orbs can I freely use (waste)

[exotic sierra]

I'm up to gargantuan in A3

[shell bronze]

that I have seen, colossus

[marsh oxide]

ic ty

[little nebula]

Yes gargantuan is maybe the largest

[shell bronze]

ah, there is one beyond colossal it seems

[little nebula]

But i never have a chance to use it, cuz ima witch 🤓

[exotic sierra]

looks like there's transcendant and ultimate after gargantuan

[little nebula]

Oh ok

[grave crystal]

i cant wait to try the other characters

i want to try witch and ranger

[marsh oxide]

where can I find builds btw?
currently i am running a firewall spark stormweaver build

[odd plinth]

is there a way to see all the skills outside of having an uncut skill gem?

in game

[little nebula]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2

[proven vapor]

is there any way to have 2 different main hands in weapon loadouts that share an offhand?

[marsh oxide]

ty

[boreal gulch]

do chamrs even work? i have thawing charm on act 1 boss, i freeze and it doesnt use any charges.

[worn maple]

any idea what causes this behavior? randomly will just start having spikey frame generation time, no other performance metric observed anywhere else. restarting game doesnt fix it but rebooting PC does for a few hours

[wanton sail]

Ok here i am

[worn maple]

rock me like a hurricane

[clever trout]

Are loot filters in anyway cheating

[worn maple]

no

[wanton sail]

I'm still very early in Act 1; do i need to worry about crafting gear yet

[worn maple]

GGG makes loot filters possible

[wanton sail]

Or can I just kind of use whatever rares drop

[clever trout]

K just wanted to be sure

[worn maple]

crafting gear is pretty RNG, just check vendors for upgrades. every time you level up their inventory gets refreshed

[alpine flicker]

low level items, u can upgrade their level right, like if u get a low levle unique/legendary

u can up its level later right?

[wanton sail]

Yeah i don't know if I should be spending the resources I'm getting early

[worn maple]

focus on getting 1 type of dmg on your passive tree and get as much of that dmg as you can as fast as you can

[runic trellis]

Hey guys, what runes are the best for my weapon? I'm playing playing a lightning arrow/rod ranger

[wanton sail]

The bug I've had in my ear is to try and max defenses

And ignore damage

[worn maple]

iron

not until way later

[runic trellis]

Does it add more then lighting if my phys dmg is only 20-38?

[worn maple]

its not reasonable for you to get resistance capped and health on all pieces of gear in act 1

just get dmg and learn the boss mechanics

[wanton sail]

Not reasonable why

Not that I'm doubting I'm just curious

[worn maple]

kinda rare to hit health+resistances AND get the gear your stat line is going

and you dont get very many rare drops early

[alpine flicker]

aaaahhhh

i need to know this damn piece of info lol

[wanton sail]

Wdym stat line, like armor energy shield etc?

[worn maple]

str/dex/int

[alpine flicker]

focus energy shield/health/mana if u have it as a defense

early

and start trying to all resists at 25-30 I say

with gems

[worn maple]

for example, if you're a monk you're prolly not taking much str

[alpine flicker]

then an easier full way later

[worn maple]

meaning you wont be able to wear much of the +armor only bases

[solid wagon]

can u improve spirit from amu with catalysts?

[worn maple]

nothing stopping you from taking str as a monk but then you wont be able to use your leveled up quarterstaff skills

as they will need more dex/int

[wanton sail]

Yeah i really wanted to try out a tank chronomancer sorceress, but it looked like the stats i wanted didn't line up with the class

[worn maple]

i dont think so because the spirit roll on amulets doesnt have a cateogry name

[wanton sail]

So I'm trying this tank fantasy with warrior instead this time

[serene mango]

Hey! Am I crazy or does bow shot deal more damage than my other skills? Lightning arrow + lightning rod doesn't seem to help nearly as much on bosses as just bow shot

[shell bronze]

finally beat Zalmarath the Living Colossus after running it till I got lucky on a run with less bugs

[worn maple]

advice i always give: yes you can do some wacky builds in poe, but get through the campaign first and respec to something expiremental later. usually some of those wacky builds dont even work until you have certain things that dont come online till you have enough passive points, the levels for some skills, or the levels for some items

[fading kiln]

anyone willing to help me with jamanra the abomination please

[worn maple]

but also, you can basically do whatever till act 6, you start having trouble if you're all over the place by then

[flint crescent]

is it worth it do use gemcutting on skills gem? i used in on one of my skill but doesnt seems to improve dps or anything?

[worn maple]

you might need to level up those skills

[serene mango]

All lvl 3/4

[worn maple]

hold alt when hovering over a skill gem, a new mod line appears at the bottom showing what quality does to the skill exactly

[worn maple]

at low lvls sometimes the dps of normal shot does outweigh other skills

but dps doesnt account for like

if you shock them

or the chain lightning effects

that does aoe to other mobs

[flint crescent]

oh i see now! thanks!!

[worn maple]

you should find another support gem for your lightning arrow

[hard hollow]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1319808223599132763

Still looking for some help with my act 1 build, all info in thread I linked so I dont bombard channel

[serene mango]

Got suggestions?

I figured more lightning better haha

[scenic salmon]

It says the whisper timed out what i do???

[fading kiln]

anyone willin to help me with the act 2 final boss

[stiff quest]

can use an item that has a highr lvl then me???

[signal fog]

should I use a greater jeweler orb on a skill if it is corrupted?

[craggy flicker]

anyone to help w the tower of chaos? london servers btw

[clear skiff]

i need some help

[verbal tree]

hey guys, im lvl 15 monk and feel pretty weak end of act 1. whats the best way to improve my gear? feel like everything is outdated

[tranquil crystal]

Need carry for act 1 boss. Me and my friend are stuck

[scarlet wadi]

Anyone can help me with first boss on act 2 on cruel?

[worn maple]

martial tempo

[worn maple]

idk if you can even

[worn maple]

i just tried, you cannot

[summer charm]

can any witch player tell me why my pain offering isnt working 70% of the time

[knotty dome]

do things like bleed/ignite/poison stack if multiple sources apply? Such as multiple minions

[hot light]

Hello. May I do some noob questions?

[worn maple]

dots do not generally stack, higher magnitude dots will override current ones, but differnt dots do stack

[rose galleon]

I just noticed, flat damage on rings are being added to minion damage - is that just bad text, or does it actually add dps (no, they are not minion specific, just flat dmg to attack)

[worn maple]

animation cancelling the cast of it on accident by moving?

[static patio]

is it possible to equip two shields?

[hot light]

Can you raise the level of support gems like you do with skill gems?

[summer charm]

that could be it, im a deadeye main so not used to cast time xD
edit: actually that wasnt it

[stable wing]

Im only a 23 monk and the way I updated my gear is traded orbs for better gear then I had that had better stats and/or socketed runes or gems whatever you want to call them

[worn maple]

shouldnt apply to minions

[worn maple]

nope

[rose galleon]

seems to just be my raging spirits and hellhound that get the added dps to their tooltip

[undone mulch]

can someone help me with act one boss?

[verbal tree]

thanks, whats the best way to find gear for my level?

[hot light]

Right, thank you.

When I unlock a skill gem, they have 3 (or more) support gems associated with it, is this the normal way to unlock new support gems? Craft a skill gem (even if you don't plan to use it) to unlock the support one?

[worn maple]

the 3 it shows are 'recommended' gems for that skill, if you hit all gems in the bottom left it shows everything. not every support gem works with every skill tho, but you might find better or different options that way. 'unlocking' is kind of a weird way for them to describe it but basically you can only use 1 of each kind of support gem in your whole build. like you cant put martial tempo on every skill for example

[abstract flare]

if i corrupt a 3 slots skill gem, any chance that I will have both 4th and 5th slots unlocked? or only 4th?

[silent scaffold]

What level should I wait until to start buying gear from trade? Is there a level where the item bases start being worth sticking with for a bit?

[worn maple]

i dont think extra slots is corruptable affix

[eager glen]

It is

[hot light]

I see... I got fooled by UI I guess.

[eager glen]

You can get +1 link with corruption

[abstract flare]

it is actually, but not sure about 5th slot

[rose galleon]

is hexblast viable at lvl41? seems fun, but thinking - might not be enough

[worn maple]

around 45ish imo, just buy items worth 1ex if people will sell them

[hot light]

last question before I go back to the grind. Any good single target skill for Crossbow users at lvl 20? I am having a hard time finding anything.

[wind finch]

Should I try to go more ES over eva with monk? Getting hit with eva feels bad 😦

[worn maple]

i thought frag was best tbh

[mighty oriole]

can i get a price check for this

[worn maple]

prolly a divine or 2

[hot light]

Do you combo with ice for the proc, or just use it naked?

[upper cobalt]

is reavers better than arsonists for leveling? only lvl 32

[gentle ravine]

map bricked?

[velvet charm]

this worth divine?

[worn maple]

brutality double barrel was nice for me, brutality will make it ignore any eledmg on your xbow tho

[worn maple]

re-screenshot with alt key held down

[upper cobalt]

is reavers better than arsonists for leveling? only lvl 32

[hot light]

So just Frag with Brutality, no fancy setup or anything

[deft lagoon]

anyone know why i cant get the corruption altar in A3 to take any items or gems?

[abstract flare]

imho no, boss will swing them all at once

[worn maple]

doubt it, i ran into what seemed like dead ends on that map and found that a lever lowered a canal i passed mich earlier on

[gentle ravine]

i backtracked 4 times. i think the wall in the top isnt supposed to be there

[worn maple]

tbh yeah, the other ones just didnt seem to do much dmg early on

[worn maple]

tbh i switched to grenades + scattershot around that time tho

[worn maple]

not worth divining imo

[alpine flicker]

can any support be used on killing palm
or something
to let it teleport you even if u dont click an enemy

[worn maple]

nope

[alpine flicker]

sucks

any fun tricks with it?

to maybe make u tp around everywhere?

like spell cascade or something

[worn maple]

you use shattering palm to get from pack to pack later

flicker strike also teleporting dmg skill later on

as for the power charge generation

you get combat frenzy buff that generates frenzy charges on freeze/shock

and then take resonance on the passive tree

to turn them into power charges

[hardy quail]

Combat frenzy is electrocution not shock

[worn maple]

then you got ez charges for charged staff

[worn maple]

ah yes

or pin

[hardy quail]

But ye combat frenzy + electrocution support gem on herald of thunder and resonance on skill tree
I dont have problems at all with charges, for bosses i use snipers mark to get charges wuen i crit them

[hot light]

I dont think I have scattershot yet

[worn maple]

you click the altar then the item iirc, i tried dropping an item onto the altar at first and was confused

[worn maple]

its a lvl 1 support gem, just click an uncut support gem > all gems tab in bottom left > search scattershot

[hot light]

you use scattershot on which skill gem?

[elder copper]

Is ominous altars a main quest bc it crashes when I activate the altars

[worn maple]

explosive grenade was fun

[hot light]

alright, let see how it goes

I am not enjoying the long fuse on explosive grenade tho

[worn maple]

i used scattershot flash grenade on my monk and had him offhand a xbow for the first half of the game, would bring a boss to 50% stun threshold lol

[viral cargo]

do charm slots count as sockets in terms of lootfilter for belts or why does my hide all < 1 sockets for normal item work on everything except belts?

[hot light]

so frag shot and explosive grenade + scatter

[vivid valley]

Can I only use support gems once across any skills? Is that why they don't show up with other skills?

[viral cargo]

yes, but thats not the reason they dont show up

[static patio]

question what is more dps usualy 3 percent attacks speed or 10 percent projectile dmg

[worn maple]

frag rounds + brutality + double barrel / explosive grenade +scattershot + magnified

this was a fun setup for me i remember

[vivid valley]

Oh okay thanks. And the reason they don't show up is because they're not "recommended?"

[vagrant tinsel]

dmg

[viral cargo]

you can see all if you click all skills tho, but then you lose the tooltip that informs whether you alr use them, so have to check yourself

[vivid valley]

Interesting, one use is different to PoE1

[vivid cedar]

yo i found a relic and it said i need to find use for it any hints?

[worn maple]

prolly atk speed but just look at your skill's dps tooltip before/after you take the passive

[vivid valley]

Is there a way to check if you can use them like we did in poe1?

[vivid cedar]

sun clan relic*

[viral cargo]

i never played poe1 but i very much dislike this system of only 1 across all skills

[gilded veldt]

Can you use Poe1 mtx in PoE2 yet? Specifically on PS5

[worn maple]

its for trial/lab

[viral cargo]

only once you put them on a support gem sadly

[vivid valley]

same tbh

[vivid valley]

urgh thanks

[vivid cedar]

wheres that?

[urban flicker]

Mouse over it while you have the skill panel open.

[worn maple]

certain ones have been ported over, if you view your MTX it will show them all, but have Xs on them if they are not ported over yet

[worn maple]

act 2

[viral cargo]

yeah i dislike that too^^ but im sure theyll fix that eventually

[vivid valley]

Nice, I guess we're still months off final release

[crimson summit]

Are runes common enough to just use in whatever gear I'm currently using?

[vivid valley]

doesn't change how awesome it already is

[gilded veldt]

I see, I was just thinking of buying some on 1 is all

[vivid cedar]

i mean on map im on act 2 now 🙂

[worn maple]

yea

[viral cargo]

still need the other half of campaign, but yeah i lvoe it too alr ❤️

diablo 2 on steroids in 4k

[vivid valley]

nice nice

[worn maple]

find balbala boss in traitors passage

[vivid valley]

I've already retired my d4 stuff which was just a temporiser till this came out

[vivid cedar]

ty soo much

[alpine fractal]

i feel dumb, like im missing something here... how does this work?

[worn maple]

trial is hard tho, if you fail it a few times dont get discouraged, just come back in a few levels. this how how you get your 'ascendancy' btw

[undone perch]

any tips for a struggling warrior on the act 2 final boss?? don't feel like my build is cutting it, feels like I'm wacking him with a sheet of paper so with his relentless aoe attacks in phase 2 i cant do enough damage

[vivid cedar]

ah alright im probably too weak rn

barely beating normal bosses rn

[alpine fractal]

how do you know you want the number if you dont know what it means? 🤔

[ebon moss]

it's your progress on that league's challenges. like 40 would be having done all 40/40 league challenges

Yes. You can see your own if you're signed up and look in the upper left where it says "Logged in as # account name", with # being your challenges completed

[worn maple]

maybe go buy a new weapon from https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/
if you have an exalt to spare

[vivid valley]

oh never mind, found it thanks to the unrelated q

[undone perch]

any idea what a good damage number would be to look for at just level 33? ive got a mave that does 77-159 physical damage already

[hollow garnet]

can anyone donate tier 3 support gems to me im level 16 D:

[vivid valley]

what are the unlocked slots next to the flasks used for?

[ebon moss]

Charms

[worn maple]

here's a filter for 2h maces, max lvl 33, max buyout 1ex
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/6Y9gJDbHG

click the link then on one of the items click where it shows its 'dps' in the bottom left to sort by dps

[worn maple]

i see one for sale thats got 238 dps that meets those critera

[ebon moss]

The ones that automatically do X when Y happens https://poe2db.tw/us/Charms#ModifiersCalc you can get more Charm slots from certain Belts

[worn maple]

remember trade ettiquite, you send the seller the message copied from the trade site, you wait for him to invite you, then you click the blue icon to tp to them, then wait for them to open a trade with you

[proven vapor]

is there any way to have 2 different main hands in weapon loadouts that share an offhand?

[worn maple]

dont think so

[vivid valley]

thanks

[worn maple]

IGN?

[wooden quail]

which finn reward should i pick?
Fire, cold or lightning?
imo its between fire and cold

[worn maple]

is that resistance?

idr

[ebon moss]

i think it's just a for a charm right? you can use whatever charm you want and change it whenever, you probably only have one charm slot currently.

[worn maple]

IGN = In-game-Name btw

[wooden quail]

oh yeah
i alreayd have a fire one
i assume charms are quite common drops?
maybe not common commonm but farmable to an extend

[worn maple]

charms are really common later, cold charm good for act 1 boss tho

[ebon moss]

yeah i found quite a few of them during the campaign

[wooden quail]

hey thanks for the hint!

[quaint wagon]

anyone goin through act 2?

[inland sentinel]

#2┃looking-for-group

[hollow garnet]

Firnanda is my ign

[agile jetty]

Is there a way to tell if the Blasphemy skill is working? i have Flammability socketed into it, but i dont have an aura indicator around me like the Malice skill gives.

[vivid valley]

how can I bind a weapon skill such as summon minions to a slot so I can hotkey switching weapons that way?

[inland sentinel]

Btw trades/giveaways are not allowed @worn maple per rule 6

[hollow garnet]

oop tea

[rose pike]

So I'm at the final boss in Act 2, can't beat him, not even close. But I never did the trial thing. I can't find the quest and I don't have it anymore

[clear vine]

when do i get more points on my ascendancy? and what does reserving 25% of my life mean?

[onyx stirrup]

Is there a blood mage levelling guide? I'm struggling with a3 ultimatum ascendancy and I feel like maybe I'm using bad skills/supports/tree

[inland sentinel]

Did you do trial of chaos

[inland sentinel]

Basically you do higher lvl trials. Lvl 60 and 75 for more points

[clear vine]

nope

[inland sentinel]

You should do trial of chaos first

It gets you the next 2 points

[livid wagon]

can u really do trials in a group?

[deft lagoon]

does the brutality support gem negitavely impact poison from the same skill?

[umbral steeple]

can someone tell me what this corruption did? I did the free one in act 3 and I dont really see the difference from an uncorrupted one

[livid wagon]

it added some red text definately

xD

[vivid cedar]

Dang this looks good if i wasn't witch haha

[deft lagoon]

spitting facts

[spice ether]

I'm missing the trials of chaos entry orb. Is it possible to get another one to drop?

[livid wagon]

im really not keen on trials :S

[short hill]

Bit confused by spirit as a mercenary. I need 40 to have herald of ash active. Got 30 from that boss in act one. Never see spirit on gear. What’s the go

Do I get another buff eventually or wat 🤣

[livid wagon]

u can get some more from act 3

[deft lagoon]

it can be on amulets or chests at a low rate

[livid wagon]

and u can get it on chest

[orchid stag]

are there a lot more of those long legged spiders in act 2? my arachnophobia is fighting for it's life right now 😭

[short hill]

So no herald for one more act. Booo ok thanks bro!

Weird game design in a sense but maybe I’m missing something

[short hill]

Yeah a fair few

[livid wagon]

i was missing alot.. but doesnt take me ten mins to kill bosses now so i must be learning

[karmic gate]

how many artificers orb are worth 1 exalted

[orchid stag]

[inland sentinel]

Check your currency exchanger npc

[short hill]

Crawling with them in trials as well. Sorry my dude

[livid wagon]

u mean blue orbs? i dont think anyone seriously trades for them

i dont like the blue ones lol ^^

[orchid stag]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh lmao ty for answering.... ill try to squint or something

[vivid valley]

ember fusillade tied to my weapon powers up but it doesn't seem to ever fire even after a long delay unless I switch weapons, how do I get them to fire?

[short hill]

Pretend they are daddy long legs, the only spider who’s a good guy

Irl I mean. I hate spiders too

But the long legs ones are kings

[livid wagon]

daddy long legs are good organisms ngl

[short hill]

All they eat are other spiders and bugs

[empty oak]

What are Orb of Alchs best used on, boots?

[orchid stag]

im terrified of all spiders no matter the type lmao 😭

[short hill]

But then the spider killer spider should be your friend

Ally

Team mate

🤣

[livid wagon]

the tom hardy of spiders

[ashen bane]

jewelry, probably

[karmic gate]

do i put artificers orbs on these

[upper cobalt]

can you use a lesser jewelers orb on Skeletal Warrior from my Sceptre?

[livid wagon]

we need to say ball and not orb just for memes

[ashen bane]

they arent that expensive, i would say yeah

[livid wagon]

200exalted balls plz

[tender sequoia]

what does "pledge to kochai" in 3rd sekhamas trial do?

[orchid stag]

LOL I'll just have to squint reeeeeeeeeeeally hard

[livid wagon]

prbly alt +f4's anc closes your client

[upper cobalt]

can you use a lesser jewelers orb on Skeletal Warrior from my Sceptre?

[livid wagon]

i doubt that

[ebon moss]

No, if you get a higher level scepter it will just have more sockets

[upper cobalt]

u know what level?

[livid wagon]

do any support gems work with the corpse boots?

[ebon moss]

i think i started getting scepters with 3 sockets in Cruel Act 3 ?

[granite mountain]

any reason to keep the flasks?

[livid wagon]

aside from hp and mana?

i dont keep extra flasks

[vivid cedar]

how cool is titans grotto omg

[acoustic crag]

hi guys dose ailment threshold work with poison skill?

[livid wagon]

act 3 might start giving me nightmares ngl

[native inlet]

Juts hard carried a friend threw his chaos trial so if he does the other one he’ll get 2 more points? He did chaos first

Or can we do all chaos 4x ik need different keys

[livid wagon]

if the key said he gets points then he will get points

[native inlet]

But could we?

Lit

Mans gonna be 34 with all points lmao

[opaque stone]

How many minions do you get for free from Skeletal Warrior sceptres at max gem level?

[vital bridge]

How do I get Magnified Effect for Boneshatter?

[frank frigate]

click all gems

[zealous osprey]

Or uncheck "Show recommended gems"

[vital bridge]

oh, ok, I never noticed that option

[orchid gust]

Does anyone know what the buff is on the right with the 2?

[lime relic]

As a monk, I want mainly evasion and some energy shield on my clothes, no armor at all. Correct?

[zealous oracle]

If something is Corrupted on the marketplace that I want to buy, I know in POE1 that means you cant quality it up or change the sockets... what does it mean in poe 2? does it make a big difference if a corrupted one is cheaper for leveling gear i dont really care a lot about?

[frank frigate]

yeah prioritise getting as much evasion as you can

[lime relic]

But 0 armor, right?

[ashen bane]

depends a lot on build, but most monks build go eva/es, yes

[supple shuttle]

Does this count for a MONK ice strike melee build?

is it technically a spell

[inland sentinel]

Honestly you can’t even modify normal bases beyond exalting and rune smithing so it really depends on which suits your needs

[ashen bane]

no, its an attack

[lime relic]

Im in act 5 and starting to feel squishy, probably need to respec and add some more passive skill tree evasion %.

[inland sentinel]

You want to make sure you’re close to res cap

[ashen bane]

resistance are very important yeah

[true adder]

how does ailment/stun threshold work if I grab eldrich battery?

[inland sentinel]

Because that’s -50% ele res penalty

[lime relic]

yeah im not enjoying the negative resists

[livid wagon]

some mechanics are gonna one shot u regardless

[ashen bane]

you want to be as close to 75% as possible

[inland sentinel]

It’s more or less the same as Poe 1

[ashen bane]

like damage is designed around you having 75%

it may be hard to hit during campaign

[inland sentinel]

Defense in this game is very one dimensional compared to Poe 1

[ashen bane]

but should be priority

[supple shuttle]

is it worth keeping all oranges?

i have quite a few that seem amazing for other clases

[inland sentinel]

You either build all damage or deal no damage and be tanky

[ashen bane]

if you will make other build for it, why not

most of them are fairly cheap on trade market though

[supple shuttle]

theres a trade market??/

how do i access that lol

[livid wagon]

on the website

[ashen bane]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2

[livid wagon]

u need a premium stash tab to sell on it

[supple shuttle]

can i buy ingame?

the website seems so scuffed to use

LOL

[livid wagon]

u have to buy in game

u use the site to search

[ashen bane]

trade is made fairly annoying on purpose sadly

[deft lagoon]

whats the point of "envenom" (+50% chance to poison on hit) on poisonous concoction (pathfinder posion flask) when it already is guaranteed to poison? does it give a chance to apply multiple stacks?

[livid wagon]

its worse on console

[supple shuttle]

this is alot of effort

im in act 2

LOL

on normal

[ashen bane]

no need to trade until endgame and even then you can play w/o using it

[supple shuttle]

okay :d

[livid wagon]

the items u get trading are so good,,, its worth the effott

[supple shuttle]

also is it normal for the trials to be really hard

[ashen bane]

campaign is more fun if you get thro it by yourself imho but u do u

[supple shuttle]

i keep failing them

[livid wagon]

trials are gash imo#

[inland sentinel]

No they’re just overtuned atm

[ashen bane]

they're pretty hard as mechanics are very unforgiving

[livid wagon]

ive just decided im unworthy of my ascendency points

[supple shuttle]

and sorry 1 more question is it more worth to disenchant rare's or sell them

[ashen bane]

i did sekhema at end of a2

[supple shuttle]

i got 30k gold sitting there

[granite mountain]

should i go darkness with monk?

[livid wagon]

no idea but defo go full monk

[inland sentinel]

Yeah I do recommend over leveling

[ashen bane]

as someone who made acolyte as 1st char, it feels like bait ascendency right now

invoker is way more useful

[vale spear]

anyone know if passive skill damage bonuses (physical, fire, etc) apply to damage dealt by minions?

[livid wagon]

blood mage is humbling

[ashen bane]

chayula seems lacking actual synergy with rest of skilltree/skillgems right now

[ebon moss]

Yes, that's fine. You just couldn't add quality to it or craft on it further. Which doesn't matter for a leveling item you're going to replace later anyway.

[karmic gate]

why is the physical damage not 1.4x

[ebon moss]

No, it would need to say Minion damage or Allies.

[ashen bane]

it adds to 152% so its 192% increased

[orchid stag]

i ran through the entire area with them and made it to the gate lmao

[ashen bane]

i liked poe1 more, but its mostly because we're still missing a lot of skills and supports in poe2 right now, no-duplicate system feels a bit limiting because of that

but overall its more streamlined and easier so its ok

also leveling is way less annoying

without switching sockets constantly

[lean patrol]

activation failed invalid map specified when trying to use a tablet on a tower, ive tried relogging, moving map device, everything... what do i do?

[karmic gate]

but when i do 108/1.52 =71 and 71x1.92= 136

[ashen bane]

its 2.52 and 2.92 respectively, because you are increasing base value (100%) by 152/192%

[halcyon tree]

Just over level it a ton and come back 😅

[karmic gate]

ahhh ty

[solid wagon]

i just redeemed the portal from twitch drops - how long will it take before its available in my inventory in game

[mystic cobalt]

How many character slots do we get 🤔

[upbeat jungle]

yep

[frank frigate]

[upbeat jungle]

the bosses get more attacks, and you will be faster because you have a build already

[shy laurel]

What stat filter do I need to add inpoe 2 to see the max amount of resistances?

[frank frigate]

yeah true it will be alot quicker

[languid acorn]

anyone want to help me out

[eager glen]

A numeric value

[shy laurel]

I meant more like a total of all resists added up

I do it on poe 1

[granite leaf]

Can you add sockets to a corrupted item

[noble quarry]

Question folks, does show recommend gems when pressing G always show supported gems?

I dont want to waste uncut support gems to unsupported skills

[heady minnow]

how do trader reset works? when do they reset

[eager glen]

Even if you uncheck recomended gems it still show a gems that benefits your skill

[echo quiver]

on level up

[ashen bane]

you can't pick unsupported one unless you click all gems on bottom of skill list

[noble quarry]

Ok got it, thanks

[vivid cedar]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

whoever designed that bs ****

[little nebula]

[vivid cedar]

i was doing him for like 40min

i hate this shit

[little nebula]

Woah for real?

[vivid cedar]

btw is bleeding %

[vivid cedar]

yeh i suck

[manic blaze]

Any way to get poison ranger through campaign? I'm near end of act 2 and feel like it just does no damage and dies to everything. Any advisable stats to look for in gear? Been grabbing physical damage since that's what it says it scales with and I haven't seen any gear that ups ailment or chaos yet, so I feel at a loss

[hearty glade]

Fix ur dps then

[static patio]

is it possible to equip two of the same unques?
if they are rings or one handed maces for example

[vivid cedar]

havent thought of that 😄

[hearty glade]

It shouldnt be that hard

Put some dps support gem on ur skills

Find a good dps weapon just 1-2 ex orb

At low lvl it wont cost much

[low cedar]

anyone elses pc just freeze when in loading screen on latest windows 11 update?

[woven saddle]

is being like 4% below rescap a big deal

[vivid cedar]

from the npc traders?

[neat nest]

Hey guys so I am wanting to work on getting more ascendancy points, where do I go to farm the relics n such to enter?

[little nebula]

From trading site

[hearty glade]

Search poe2 trade on website then ur good to go

[buoyant quarry]

Yeah it's a known issue, they're actively investigating

[grave crystal]

should i be saving all my orbs and upgrade stuff

idk when i should start using them

[formal hound]

Is the party system bugged for anyone else? No parties show up and no one joins mine. I can’t see the one I’ve created either. I haven’t seen anything on it being bugged though

[teal nymph]

is there any way to increase max fire res rn?

[orchid gust]

Hi all, I askked this question earlier but didn't get any takers. Does anyone know what the buff is on the right? With the number 2?

[rigid bridge]

Jewels and some passives on the tree

[vivid cedar]

dude how can u cointer scrabs they are soo fast i cant run or cast

[rigid bridge]

You have 2 atlas skill points I think?

[zealous osprey]

Can't say I do

Oh wait, I'm dumb

[zealous osprey]

Speed issue

[viral cargo]

am i just incredibly unlucky or is it normal to only get this much jewels in 4 acts? i only found a single jewel that has any effect for my build

[zealous osprey]

I would say it's normal

[proven vapor]

do + to all spell skills apply to spirit gems? i noticed + to element spells don't

[zealous osprey]

But you're a tad luckier than me

[zealous osprey]

Real the tags below the gem

It doesn't say spell

So nope

[viral cargo]

i even have 100+% rare find and had that since act 2

[proven vapor]

i see, thank you

[zealous osprey]

Spirit gems should be something like persistent, buff

[orchid gust]

This character hasn't reached eng game but maybe my main?

[zealous osprey]

Atlas is shared afaik (or atleast the trees)

So if you have unassigned points on main, it'll show up on alt as well

[blissful stream]

is there a way you can activate archmage manually when u need it? I don't see a way to assign it to skill slot

[orchid gust]

Yep that was it. Couldn't see atlas on the lower charcater.

Thank you so much!

[zealous osprey]

Just from skills menu

[blissful stream]

so I have to right click it every time? No way to do it through the bar?

[zealous osprey]

Yes and no

2 questions

[wet crater]

my game is bugged or the checkpoint on the ketzuli doesn't work

[opaque pine]

i highly suspect cold spec monk/invoker is gonna be nerfed VERY soon

[zealous osprey]

GGG when looking for things to nerf

[cosmic shard]

Hey dudes, got a (maybe stupid) basic question:

I see that I can add support gems with certain ailments to skills that don't have that main ailment already, like for example I can add +freeze gems to Arc.

My question is, will it actually add +freeze to arc, or will it just be a useless support gem and not do anything?

[opaque pine]

your mom, when she finds out how violently i slap freeze spam on enemies

aight bet dawg ttyl

[livid wagon]

god when he slapped freeze on your virginity

[opaque pine]

lifts up a leg and farts

[viral cargo]

if the bonus value from the first bow comes from sockets, would it show like that?
the second has similar bonus but without sockets

[next widget]

I just got my ascendancy (witch hunter) and put points in Specialisation Points and Weapon Master and either misunderstanding what i thought it would do or not knowing at all (io got no passive points)

[zealous osprey]

It will add it, if it says something like skills have a chance to freeze (e.g., poison/bleed)... But I don't think it adds for increased freeze buildup and some stuff

[livid wagon]

if its anything like blood mage first two pts then u are gimped

[narrow knoll]

Deadeye or Merc as new player. What ones better/more fun to play?

[next widget]

its supposed to be +4 and +20 weapon set skill points

[zealous osprey]

BM is cooked though, blasting maps myself with it, literally

[rigid bridge]

The are no gems that add + freeze buildup. There is a gem that gives 50% more freeze buildup, but if arc has 0 freeze buildup then 50% more is still 0.

Fundamentally, there is a difference between +/incr/more.

[zealous osprey]

One shot sekehma floor 2 boss yesterday

[livid wagon]

bm has pay off if u are pro and get gear sure

[zealous osprey]

Bosses*

[zealous osprey]

I mean, it's not beginner friendly

[cosmic shard]

got it, ty

[zealous osprey]

But I'm definitely not a pro

[rigid bridge]

The second one came from a corruption outcome

[livid wagon]

i never played poe before so it has been hard ngl

i love dots tho...

[cedar hornet]

can you not get recovery charge or gain charge on kill on these flasks?

[viral cargo]

the first is corrupted too tho? so it shows the same if it comes from corruption or sockets? or do bonus from sockets not show and both is from corruption?

[livid wagon]

i am just going for as much crit dmg with hexblast as much as i can.. i have gems that guarantee crit every 4 seconds

[lyric crater]

what's the best level 5 gem for merc?

[livid wagon]

and im just stacking crit dmg on whtever will give me it

[rigid bridge]

It makes 20 of your skill points into weapon set skill points. It does not give you 20 more new points.

[finite sand]

What do you have access to

[next widget]

ahh ty

[rigid bridge]

You can sure. But the % chance is less likey as you go up in ilvl, there are more mods available in the pool

[rigid bridge]

The first one corrupted with "no effect"

[rigid bridge]

Isn't the support gem capped at 100% increased crit chance?

[livid wagon]

i use two gems to max the crit i forgotten which ones

u get 100% crit chance every 4 seconds and some silly amount of crit damage

[rigid bridge]

I'm just saying, 100% increased crit chance is not the same as +100% crit chance. Make sure you understand the difference

[rigid bridge]

You get 100% increased crit chance.

[livid wagon]

oh...

well that explains somethings then

[zealous osprey]

We should ask people in #2┃looking-for-group to also mention their server (helps narrow down prospects we can aid)

[blazing narwhal]

need help with act 2 final boss cruel

[final fog]

do you gain the stats of your 2nd weapon/shield set if you're not currently using it?

[glacial pewter]

How are people killing mobs with resonating shield?

[peak garnet]

@final fog nope

[viral cargo]

is there any item beside rings that can add skill slots?

[peak garnet]

I have seen +melee on gloves

[zealous osprey]

Gemling legionnaire, not an item

[peak garnet]

and I have +projectile on crossbow

[zealous osprey]

He means slots in skills menu to put in gems I think

[peak garnet]

oh. my bad

[hot light]

How do I get my skill gems to have 3 sockets?

[zealous osprey]

Lesser jewellers orb

[peak garnet]

it starts dropping in act 3

[hot light]

Ah, this explain why I never saw one

[zealous osprey]

That's for the guaranteed drop in Marsh, I think it can random drop earlier (though don't take my word for it... As I said, I think)

[hot light]

Killed the Forgotten son but the Mammoth guy will have to wait.

[peak garnet]

Ah. I found like 3 in the first zone of act 3. That was first I ever saw em

[hot light]

I kinda regret picking grenades, it kinda of a clunky skill to use but maybe I am suffering from "grass is greener"

[zealous osprey]

I'm playing DD... People say it's clunky, but it's a bajillion times better than Fireball that I playing earlier

And the fun fact is that DD was a community build, and the other was a famous streamer

[hot light]

I dont like how you slow down (movement) when use it, but I guess you plain stop moving with spells so maybe its better?

[zealous osprey]

It's just about what you prefer

[hot light]

What is DD?

[zealous osprey]

Sometimes looking at gameplay footage of how a build plays helps decide

[peak garnet]

I hate to ask this, but can someone help me kill the forgemaster? Haven't found a weapon upgrade since level 16 and this dps check is obliterating me

[zealous osprey]

Detonate Dead

[zealous osprey]

Imma be on after breakfast, currently not in-game

Also, I hope not NA... I can manage Asia and EU, other servers are just too high latency

[peak garnet]

yeah NA here

[zealous osprey]

Try asking in #2┃looking-for-group

[peak garnet]

figured you were way off my time zone when you said breakfast. 🙂

[shy flint]

is there anything i can do with random extra gear that has sockets or do i just sell it

[stoic nacelle]

anyone know why i cant click on 2 of 4 ritual altars?

[zealous osprey]

Can use salvaging bench to get relevant amount of artificer shards

[shy flint]

ok thanks

[zealous osprey]

10 shards = 1 orb

[hot light]

So far, I haven't found a single target skill for crossbow I really enjoy. Ive been high-velocity until I get something better.

[zealous osprey]

Magnetic salvo?

[hot light]

Haven't unlocked it yet

[zealous osprey]

[hot light]

But every skill you unlock change the class so who knows, the flower may blossom soon

[tardy edge]

my skill is greyed out and I have no idea why

[zealous osprey]

Hover over gem

Might have changed gear recently

Due to which you don't meet dex requirements anymore

[hot light]

Prob not have the atrib. requeriment anymore

[zealous osprey]

This is weird, check supports

Support gems*

[tardy edge]

oh nevermind. my support orbs needed +5 int

[zealous osprey]

There we go

[low cedar]

anyone know where i can get artificer orbs from im around act 2?

[zealous osprey]

Salvage items with sockets

Or pray for RNG

[wooden quail]

I have a +1 from one of my melees
But why is armour breaker higher ranked than my boneshatter?

In the skills menu tooltip, it says that armour breaker has a +5 from gem, but in gem cutter menu it says both armour breaker and bnoneshatter has the same level?

[zealous osprey]

These give shards equivalent to number of sockets on item, and 10 shards = 1 orb

[zealous osprey]

You're using a lvl 4 uncut gem

So it's showing as level 4, to either create or upgrade

Your boneshatter is already at level 5

[wooden quail]

ah, thanks alot!

[tardy edge]

oh maintenance?

[zealous osprey]

Just keep clicking login

It shows that sometimes

2nd or 3rd click will log you in

[unborn sorrel]

What is this bug. They keep spawning!

[granite sequoia]

why is my game doing this"?

[zealous osprey]

Read the minion tag below them?

There's a rare somehwere nearby with the mod - Revives minions

Kill it first

[unborn sorrel]

I have killed it already this minions followed me halfway throught the map

[wooden quail]

why can't i salvage this mana bottle that has quality?

[potent pond]

loving this radio silence by the game devs - no news on updates or hot fixes at all

[zealous osprey]

Nah, if you kill the correct rare they won't respawn

Happened to a lot of us, not bugged

[unborn sorrel]

this more likely my 5th character. I know 😄

[zealous osprey]

Bruh

How many hours in? XD

[zealous osprey]

Can't salvage flasks

[wooden quail]

ah, thanks

[shell bronze]

Can someone break down what happened to me here: https://clips.twitch.tv/LachrymoseRoughBillFutureMan-LyNhPYSq-tvXj7ei

because I am lost

[wooden quail]

my man backed down 👀

[crimson summit]

Is it generally better to have higher physical damage or a little lower mix of lightning and physical. Looking at crossbows for my lightning merc

[zealous osprey]

Fact remains though, it's been verified... The respawn is not a bug, even more so proved by the minion tag

Though it is annoying af at times, e.g., Sekhema

[wooden quail]

yeah i believe you i just found that instance funny

[vivid cedar]

dang killing god kinda easy xD

[teal nymph]

are malice and vulnerability both curses?

[summer arrow]

are there any bosses in act2 that are near waypoints / fast to get to?

[inner jasper]

any tips for mektul

[small shoal]

Hi guy's i search beginner build not totem and not minion ?
Currency 1 div 50 ex

[rigid bridge]

? They announced pretty clearly that they were going on holiday and would pick up in 2025

[fathom badger]

Anyone wanna play act 1 ?

[peak garnet]

Yes! Just got help with that. Blind him

[potent pond]

true as where? coz i see a patch update on the 19th then nothing lol

[keen fiber]

Can you respec the potions from act 3 quest rewards?

[rigid bridge]

In the patch notes/announcement

[inner jasper]

best way to do that as a lightning ranger? lvl 44 new to poe

[potent pond]

so the game breaks lets say - no 1s gonna be able to play ? - they got people there making sure the games running, which means theres people there making updates

[peak garnet]

I wish I had the answer. Im new too. I just found out that if you blind him, he stops doing his lava thing and just walks down the path

[rigid kestrel]

maybe one day crashes will be fixed

[cosmic shard]

Is there any guide on which stats I should be looking for on each item? Like for example, rings are more defensive, belts are more flask/charm focused, boots are something, etc?

[peak garnet]

made it so much easier to dps him

[rigid bridge]

They got people to make hotfxes IF something breaks. Not the same as ppl working on the game .

[inner jasper]

alright ill try that

[peak garnet]

It's a hell of a dps check btw

[rigid bridge]

Add blind support to some utility skill

[shell bronze]

when should one doe the Ascend to Power quest?

I am level 33

[keen crest]

do it now!

[little nebula]

When you out level the mob

[lofty pilot]

Why are people listing items different from the usual price and when you contact them they say a different price

[halcyon tree]

Scammerrrrs

[lofty pilot]

Just say one exalt

[little nebula]

Then fck them ._.

[haughty niche]

You csn set buyout in bottom of trade filters to ex only

[inner jasper]

what exacly does the blind do to him? it didnt seem like it did anything

[lofty pilot]

Ohh that's helpful ty

[keen crest]

isn't +6 really good? what is the max here?

[blissful stream]

what happens if u put 4 waystones in the map?

[rigid bridge]

Maybe this? Idk, no personal experience #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help message

[wooden quail]

im a new player but even i know +6 is really good xD

press g, see your top skill (normal attack percentage)

equip it and see the difference

[keen crest]

do you know what the max is here?

[small shoal]

Hi guy's i search beginner build not totem and not minion ?
Currency 1 div 50 ex

[rigid bridge]

I think 6 or 7. It's good but diff skills scale differently so it may or may not be a huge deal for certain builds

Check poe2db to confirm the max

[potent geode]

Hello, I am able to consistantly solo 15's and 16s. What do I do now with the game? is there more than just running these maps?

[little nebula]

Play another class 😀

[potent geode]

lol

do I just follow the quests still?

[little nebula]

If you want to, i have like 1 boring but strong character and a 🤡

[orchid stag]

why are belts so expensive

[little nebula]

The strong one earn stuff and the 🤡 fck all up

[wooden quail]

just curious, does warrior get super strong late game for how hard it is to play him early game?

[little nebula]

Yeah there are vids bout 1 shot a boss

[potent geode]

welp

[wooden quail]

seems like there are those kinda videos for every class tbh

[little nebula]

Nah warrior is def strong ass

[wooden quail]

i see

thanks dood

[little nebula]

https://youtu.be/HsESbCP_oAA

Before nerfed

[wooden quail]

i defo hope they keep him as one of the stronger classes late game

[little nebula]

Yeah but its a pain getting there ._.

[wooden quail]

i spent an hour and 3k in new equipment just to fight the consort

im now on my way to fight the count

[undone holly]

How exactly does Shaper of Storms for Stormweaver work? I can't seem to shock enemies often at all.

[swift wagon]

I am stuck, can't kill and can't buy new gear. What options do I jave?

[wooden quail]

ngl consort was harder than freythorn for me

[wooden quail]

could try moving support gems around if you didn't give it much thought

[swift wagon]

I think I have an extra support gem... Will check and use that

Is there an easier place where I can farm for gear? I am at the Lachdanan fight in Act 1 cruel

[wooden quail]

as in try experimenting moving the support skills you already have around

i found the attackspeed support skill super useful against bosses

[rapid fog]

do rolls have i frames?

[hot sentinel]

Hey, I wanted to ask this in the Sorc thread but that's already at max capacity.
I'm currently trying to respec to MoM + EB and tried to use this jewel to get more ES/Mana, but for some reason it just doesn't work at all. I have other jewels for more ES as well and those work just fine in the EB setup.
Is this intendid or just bugged? 😄

[swift wagon]

I am using a crossbow, does attack speed do anything? Because seems that reload speed is what affects the speed at which I attack

[wooden quail]

not too sure, i was just speaking from experience as a melee class
You could prob press g and see how the attack scales
