[azure lava]

banners are like that in both games now, aren't they?

[lament stone]

depends on what skill youre using, dps isnt really a good way to measure it

[azure lava]

we don't have good benchmarks for that. and even if we did, the tooltip dps is not an accurate measurement

[lament stone]

do things die reasonably fast? your damage is good

[ebon tree]

im using arc bro

[heady minnow]

is this good enough for fire mage for like act 4?

[lament stone]

thats a good staff yes

[exotic sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/damage-thats-a-lot-of-damage-jon-tron-gif-13054497

[azure lava]

that should last you through the entire campaign and then some

[heady minnow]

oh

[azure lava]

that's kinda nuts tbh

[heady minnow]

dahm

i bought it for 1 ex

[ebon tree]

u lucky ass lol

im all lightning thouhg, cant switch now even if i had that staff

[heady minnow]

i love the fireball build rn, played frost comet before

but i had 1 more question, anyone know good uniques for soceres to level? cus my resistences are 0

i get oneshot by all mobs

[lament stone]

unique does not mean good

[exotic sierra]

think the only uunique that's good for res is goldrim

[heady minnow]

oh, yeah i dont know how to buy gear for resistences so im a bit confused

[exotic sierra]

but that's a lv 10 unique I think, so it doesn't give much for defenses

[low oasis]

I beat the boss in buried city whatever, we killed each other at the same time and the loot he dropped is gone at ressurect wtf

[lament stone]

you shouldnt need to trade for gear in the campaign

[exotic sierra]

just get life + res on bases that are good for you

[lament stone]

stuff you find at vendors or on the ground should be good enough

[exotic sierra]

speak for yourself lol

[lament stone]

life + elemental resistances are the main stats you care about for campaign

[ebon tree]

see look at me

[exotic sierra]

I can't find res to save my life

[lament stone]

you only need magic rarity gear to finish the campaign

[heady minnow]

im very unlucky with traders rn

[clever geode]

ok?

[exotic sierra]

there is no shame in buying gear during the campaign

[azure lava]

I would remove one of these small nodes. You don't need all 4

[hollow prawn]

How much space do you think he should have?

[azure lava]

also, if you're going arc this node is insane

[exotic sierra]

you can easily get half-decent life + res for 1 ex per slot. that's the only reason I'm close to cap

[ebon tree]

theyre all increased so youre wrong

[clever geode]

why did u take this

[lament stone]

the chain nodes are super strong

you get all 3 chain nodes that guarantees +1 chain

[ebon tree]

because i have area effect speels?

[clever geode]

ok but what are you casting

[valid lava]

Hello, im curious, I took Warbringer ascendancy where it says my shouts explode corpses to do damage, and in passive tree i found chance to not consume corpse, and since I thought it's very cool, i pathed to it to take it.

But it seems to not work since with 25% chance to not consume corpses, i exploded around few hundred corpses and it never survived? Did I understand something wrongly?

[ebon tree]

i have extra damage too, yall jealous

[clever geode]

omg

people are trying to help you see your tree

[low oasis]

This fire boss in buried city died at the same time as me and i lost the loot on ressurect, anyway i can still get it i have no idea what i lost ?

[lament stone]

arc does not have the aoe tag

[clever geode]

and u give us this shit

[nova tangle]

Hey, please tell me if I'm crazy or not. I swear there was something (skill tree node, ascendancy node, support gem...) that removed the accuracy penalty at long range, but for the life of me I cannot find it anymore. Did I make it up?

[lament stone]

deadeye ascendancy node

[ebon tree]

mana tempest, orb of storm, conductivity, and arc. all lightning. with a staff ill show you.

[nova tangle]

Ah, makes sense. F because I wanted to use it with my mercenary for plasma bolt

[low oasis]

This fire boss in buried city died at the same time as me and i lost the loot on ressurect, anyway i can still get it i have no idea what i lost ?

[clever geode]

#2┃looking-for-group

[lament stone]

thats not a very good wand

[exotic sierra]

idk, should probably be less than 80% full, probably less, or it slows down cause it has too much to look thru

[ebon tree]

f off, i cant find better lol

[pallid wasp]

Hey guys, i never player poe. Im old diablo player. Played literally every expansion. Is there any youtube vid to check before entering the game?

[lament stone]

lightning spells especially really need + skill level on weapon because the damage isnt there until you get archmage

[ebon tree]

should i level it or..

[exotic sierra]

dive in and die a few times 😄

[low oasis]

prepare yourself this game is a shock for anyone coming from d4

[exotic sierra]

a good shock

some builds rely on the shock

[ebon tree]

how do i get a better weapon>

[low oasis]

poe 2 is merciless, no hand holding nothing is intuitive

[exotic sierra]

I disagree

[low oasis]

right

[lament stone]

ironride unique helmet

[exotic sierra]

there's plenty that's intuitive

[low oasis]

character creation is intuitive ok

[exotic sierra]

not everything but you can figure things out if you're willing to explore

[nova bear]

do you gain attributes as you level up outside of the tree? im missing 2 dex for a decent upgrade over the armor i have equipped

[lament stone]

no

[lament hinge]

is rootdredge of act 3 cruel bugged for the icon?

[ebon tree]

how do i get a better wand?

[ebon tree]

is a wand the best for a sorc lightn buid?

[exotic sierra]

check vendors, check drops, check trade

look for spell damage and lightning damage

[lament stone]

attuned wand base if you want + lightning skill level

[exotic sierra]

idk what else wands can have

[ebon tree]

and the trade online is a good way to get stuff

[clever geode]

tbh

[ebon tree]

gotta add ppl and trade i guess, never did

[clever geode]

i got better wand at level 20

from vendor

let me check my stash

[lament stone]

% inc spell damage, % in lightning damage, + all/lightning skill level, cast speed are the good mods

[exotic sierra]

you don't need to add people to your friends list to trade with them

[ebon tree]

naw bro my wand is better

[clever geode]

[ebon tree]

dog shit non yall have lightning damage

[vapid violet]

If ur not in endgame I'd advise to save ur exalts for gear to do maps with not something ull replace during the campaign just use what u find/buy from a vendor or maybe craft

[clever geode]

that's a staff

[low oasis]

what point in the campaign do you get 3 skill slots for support gems ?

[clever geode]

u dont

[lament stone]

staffs are better than wands if you dont have a good focus/shield

[clever geode]

u need to use the jewel orb to expand the gem support socket

[ebon tree]

badass staff though, you on mid game though

[exotic sierra]

should start seeing lesser jeweller's orbs in a3

[lament stone]

you get first lesser jewellers in act 3, theyre just a random drop after that

[cold mica]

is shock an elemantel ailment

[lament stone]

yes

[low oasis]

thank you

[clever geode]

1 question does 60% spell dmg work better then 20% spell + 40% lightning?

if you are doing lightning

[lament stone]

theyre the same

[ebon tree]

good question

[clever geode]

well there

[lament stone]

all sources of "increased" damage that apply to your spell are added up before they multiply your spells damage

so 20% increased spell damage + 40% increase lightning damage is exactly the same as 60% increased spell damage

[nova bear]

so do i just sell the drop?

[clever geode]

that's what i thought

[clever geode]

why sell?

[ebon tree]

is this good?

[clever geode]

of ot's better try to get the 2dex

[plucky stag]

Need help ranger skill points refund problem i keep refunding then 1 minute later the skill points gets back again to old one anyone here can help me?

[finite kettle]

Im looking to exchange for crossbow any idea where i should go with that

[ebon tree]

is this good?

[clever geode]

did u really refund it?

[azure lava]

for a spell build it's almost worthless

[azure lava]

they have movement speed and that's the only useful stat on them imo

[ebon tree]

well ya i gottta move

[clever geode]

i dont dare to exa it

kek

[ebon tree]

but if i get hit im done sad face

[azure lava]

all I'm saying is that if you find boots with 10% movement speed and literally anything else, they'd be an upgrade imo

[nova bear]

is there a simple/easy way to get 2 dex other than putting a point into it? im pretty early into the game so i figured it isn't worth the hassle

[ebon tree]

k

[azure lava]

find dex on gear or use an attribute node

[finite kettle]

Any valuation on that

[ebon turret]

1000 gold from a vendor

[azure lava]

you can check unique prices pretty easily with the trade site

[lament stone]

all of the unique wands/staffs are just bad because they dont have + skill level

[clever geode]

no price check here

go to trade

[finite kettle]

I dont look price

[ebon tree]

how do you get + skill level?

[finite kettle]

Just info od it’s worth to look for price

[lament stone]

its just a mod that can roll on weapons

[clever geode]

well then i got noidea what you looking for

[ebon tree]

"its just a mod that can roll on weapons; that doesnt tell me shit

[clever geode]

it's just a fking mod that can roll on weapons

[rough verge]

Hi guys, I have a quest called "Ascent to Power" in Act 2 Cruel but I don't know how to complete it? Before I just went to the trials of sekema but I don't have a cruel trials of sekema so what am I supposed to do? Does this quest give me more ascension points?

[lament stone]

bugged, ignore it

[clever geode]

there is no way else to answer that other then

https://poe2db.tw/us/Wands#ModifiersCalc
read this

[ebon tree]

how do i get the mod? 1v1 me on fortniote if yall wanna have an attitude

[lament stone]

• level of skills is literally just a mod that can roll on weapons

[rough verge]

so when do i get my next ascendancy quest?

[lament stone]

just drop a weapon with the mod

[clever geode]

else dont be a bitch if u are asking question and people trying to help

[lament stone]

there is no more quests

[elder edge]

Do totems get any buff to "+% attack damage while ally is in presence"? Are totems allies do totem get buff from mass hysteria?

[clever geode]

u get till 4 point with quest

[topaz junco]

Both of you chill out

[topaz junco]

Totems are allies

[clever geode]

then u need get the item to get 6 and 8 points

at level 60+ and 75+

[lament stone]

to get 3rd ascendancy you need to drop a djinn barja with 3 floors or a inscribed ultimatum with 10 rounds

[nova bear]

Is it better to sell or disenchant stuff

[lament stone]

depends if you need gold or regals more

[clever geode]

i been trying to help and he is just like that

[lament stone]

also depends how much gold youd get from disenchanting

[river mulch]

anyone able to help beat the abomination 😅🤦‍♀️

[clever geode]

go to #2┃looking-for-group

they are ppl helping

[river mulch]

ty!

[novel burrow]

holy shit

[ebon tree]

should i keep my lvl 10 wand or is it trash>?

[lament stone]

you should be trying to find an upgrade

[ebon tree]

alright\

[lament stone]

using a low level wand is probably why your damage is quite low

[thorny hazel]

Hey guys I fucked my build up and need to respec. Problem is it'll cost me roughly 65-70k... Is there any gold farms?

[ebon tree]

what do i put on my wand if i find a better one? what orbs?

[clever geode]

what level are you?
they did nerf the cost awhile back

[thorny hazel]

Level 50

[clever geode]

they's going to cost

[elder edge]

do totem get buff from leer cast hooded mask ?

[azure lava]

pick up stuff and sell it. ID at the hooded one first. I'd even pick up white items that take up two or fewer inventory spaces

[clever geode]

try to farm a area u can clear
as high as possible
sell all blue and whites

that's all i can say

[ebon tree]

u r literally a little girel

[lament stone]

totems should count as allies so yes

[azure lava]

hover over "ally" on the mask

[thorny hazel]

I'll try act 3 regular, as cruel is destroying me now lol

[clever geode]

no one is talking to you

[vapid violet]

There isn't a "good" gold farm it's just play the game and sell every blue u find, when u start maps gold is a non issue

[finite kettle]

What I can do with 2 exalted orbs

[clever geode]

yeah blue sells for 100-200 on avg?
sometimes on weapon they sell 400-500

idk

[azure lava]

read them to see what they do. Hold alt and hover for more info

[clever geode]

save it

[finite kettle]

For what

What they use for

[nova bear]

Should i keep all the uniques i find even if im not gonna use em

[dense smelt]

It's best to keep facing the challenge and try adjusting some parts of your build in order to see where you are lacking

[azure lava]

exalted orbs are a commonly traded currency between players. you can often buy gear using exalts

[clever geode]

to add mods into rare gears

used for trading

[finite kettle]

Thanks

[azure lava]

reading stuff is op in this game

[clever geode]

those are the 2 uses

yes

[stone charm]

hey. I just finished the campaign. I'm the weakest in the guild and no one wants to play with me because I have a low level. I'm also old because I'm already 35 and the youth think they're better. Would there be someone with a very high level and dps who could guide me on higher tier maps so I could quickly get to level 80-90?

[woven shadow]

? is this real^

[clever geode]

go join other guild if not one want to play with you cause you are weakest

[azure lava]

the best advice I can give you as a 30-year-old is to learn more about the game and improve your build. And also ditch those clowns

[clever geode]

they sound like jerks

[dense smelt]

Find people who want to play with you and continue to enjoy the game.

[clever geode]

yes ditch them

[dense smelt]

Cliques are weird

[woven shadow]

how they even know your age

[cursive bluff]

whats the exchange rate of divines to ex?

[woven shadow]

all my internet interactions are anonymous

[clever geode]

it was 75 ytd but 2 days ago was 85

[remote bane]

HELP what do i do with these? Oswald doesn't want to take them

[clever geode]

so yeah check exchange market

[azure lava]

you just sell em to oswald. idk why they use "exchange"

[clever geode]

sell them? pretty sure they sells

[thorny hazel]

theres no fixing my build as I used some endgame one when im not even endgame

[cursive bluff]

damn well thankyou geonor act 1 cruel lol

[remote bane]

ah okay thx

[clever geode]

nice

[unique orbit]

can you chaos into pinnacle drops?

[azure lava]

you can always fix your build

unless you picked the wrong ascendancy, then you might have to do a new build

but it can always be recovered

[azure lava]

what is a "pinnacle drop"?

[clever geode]

as long as ascendancy is correct u can fix it

as byron said

[cursive bluff]

had about 6 ex all through the game and he dropped me a divine haha. so is this the best place to ask about uniques with life regeneration/life regen per second or crafting advice?

[arctic bobcat]

is there any suggestions channel ?

[clever geode]

try to look for build that are same that is not fully endgame gears

[clever geode]

for what? game stuff?

[cursive bluff]

this isnt an official ggg discord so if its suggestions for game then it wouldnt be seen

[clever geode]

where's mine!

[cursive bluff]

in all the ex you've most likely gotten during campaign haha

ive had 6

[arctic bobcat]

i was doing the thing in act 3 to find two medium soul cores , i had a big brain idea where instead of backtracking i would tp to home then tp back to the sanctum since alva is closeby but the cores diasppear when you tp home

[robust cave]

Where can I get proper ritual?

[cursive bluff]

the struggle is real

[arctic bobcat]

it isnt ?? i thought it was

[azure lava]

agorrat, northeast part of the area

[cursive bluff]

nah its fan made

[clever geode]

eh one of the quest after apex ? idk the name

[robust cave]

Then I'm missed, I'm in dark chambers now lol

[cursive bluff]

there are ggg members here but they dont have any input iirc

[arctic bobcat]

i see

[stone charm]

I'm not as fast as the others. I'm level 72. Maybe someone can find a place in the party. I have a high % rarity. I won't pick up items. I can only follow. Could someone invite me to make maps t5+ t10+?

[unique orbit]

is there a benefit to actually finishing pinnacle ash boss for the quest

or just sell it for a cool couple divs

[lament stone]

you get more atlas points, some of the drops are worth a lot

[clever geode]

this is for campaign chat

go to #2┃after-acts-help

[rotund arch]

How to refund all passive nodes it is not letting me do it >

[burnt junco]

https://youtu.be/-9Ef618rGLw

[arctic bobcat]

maybe you odnt have enough money ?

[lament stone]

speak to the hooded one/doryani, you refund one at a time, it costs gold

[azure lava]

That's a lot to unpack.

1. When you say not as fast, do you mean not as fast to level up? Or do you mean your character is lacking movement speed?
2. Like Jeff said, yeah, this is the campaign chat
3. Dedicated grouping channel is #2┃looking-for-group
4. What do you mean "you won't pick up items"? Like, you don't loot stuff? Or you're saying you won't take other peoples' loot as a courtesy?
5. "I can only follow", do this mean you won't do any dps or contribute to the map in any way? If so, then that might just be lazy. The least you could do is equip a scepter and give your mapping buddies an aura or two

[rotund arch]

i can refund other but how to refund attributes nodes

it just giving me option to select different attributes

[azure lava]

you cannot remove nodes that you tree depends on. You need all your tree connected

[manic blaze]

Do you need to clear all 10 trials for ascension 2?

[lament stone]

no

[azure lava]

No, just 4 I think

[lament stone]

it showing 10 rounds is not intentional

leftover ui from poe1

[manic blaze]

Thank god, this mode is hell

Thanks much

[abstract sail]

Do you get ascendancy points from the lowest chaos trial?

[lament stone]

yes

[abstract sail]

If you already did the second trial of the sekhemas

[lament stone]

no

[clever geode]

u need to press all the node infront of it first

[abstract sail]

Oh then i did not forget to pick up the points

[weak vortex]

i killed the relic alter boss but i died as i killed it and it said unlocked alter but what do i do now it says use the altar of ascendanncy to choose your ascendancy but i dont see any altar?

[azure lava]

need to do the trial again

[lament stone]

if you died you have to redo the whole trial

[weak vortex]

ffs

how does the honour thing work btw

is it basically just a health bar

[lament stone]

you lose honour when you get hit

[azure lava]

hold alt and hover over it to read about it

[weak vortex]

you cant replenish in the fight

[lament stone]

it doesnt regenerate at all

theres a few places you can regain honour

[clever geode]

yeah it dont regen in fight

[lament stone]

but the main goal of the skehema trial is to not get hit at all

[clever geode]

u can restore it with merchant

and some other perks

[lament hinge]

at what point do you start losing xp on death?

[azure lava]

some people say level 70, but I'm not sure

[robust cave]

🫡 Done, thanks!

[rigid trail]

so did you all do everything in cruel difficulty again or just rush through it

[low oasis]

Do i have to keep killing the same boss in traitors passage to get the coin again

[clever geode]

if you clear the quest then no

[silver sentinel]

Hmm 25 MS + 5 MS = 26?

[clever geode]

if not get from the guy at the altar

[low oasis]

I did my ascendency quest and its gone frm que should i wait until the next one comes ?

[azure lava]

chest pieces have a hidden -5% movement speed modifier on them, I think

or 4%

[elfin hornet]

What types of damage Cruel Act 2 Rathbreaker does? Cause its always 90% of my hp and I just get killed

[silver sentinel]

Ahh I see, ty

[clever geode]

yeah or u can get the drop to do it

[zealous condor]

Can smb help me with act 2 boss, the colossus? I’m too squishy

[clever geode]

try at #2┃looking-for-group

[zealous condor]

Ty

[midnight obsidian]

Ive seen players using a progress/xp bar down in the middle. How to i turn it on or how can i see it?

[azure lava]

I think it's PC only

or it would be in interface options

[midnight obsidian]

Ive seen it on ps5

[lament stone]

thats default pc ui

controller has a different ui

[clever geode]

no clue how to do it on ps5

[past bay]

Guys which unique 2 hand is BIS for warrior ?

[azure lava]

centered UI

interface options

disable centered ui, that might work

[plucky shoal]

Does someone have ironrunes to trade ? I can give ,,Horns of Bynden,, and some Stage 4 skillgems

[azure lava]

there is no such thing as BiS for any given class. It's very hard to say one is BiS even for a specific skill

[clever geode]

what's bis?

[azure lava]

we don't do trades/handouts on this server, sorry

[azure lava]

best in slot

[clever geode]

ah

[lament stone]

all unique maces look pretty bad for endgame tbh

[clever geode]

buy some with the currency exchange

[kind blaze]

Skills from ascendency class , How can i upgrade Quality

[eternal burrow]

Hi everyone, very important question. When gambling for uniques, should I go to the act 1 vendors for cheaper chances, or does the level of the vendor's gear affect the chances of a unique?

[lament stone]

you cant, its a bug if they show quality

[past bay]

what about for leveling ? i mean i have some rare 150-250 dmg one and i am thinking it will be more good to be with unique or no ?

[azure lava]

the gamble vendors all cost the same, don't they?

[plucky shoal]

Where ?

[clever geode]

ohh i want to know too
for the socket as well

[lament stone]

none of the unique maces get damage that high

theyre all low level bases so the damage is just bad

[azure lava]

we currently don't have a way to do so. I think they're there for future proofing if they add some way later on

[clever geode]

which act are you in

[eternal burrow]

No, for example a ring in act 1 gamble cost like 1000 gold vs the very last town which is 16,000

[plucky shoal]

1😂

[whole locust]

guys how do i get to the temple of chaos

[azure lava]

if you hold alt, does it show the ilvl of the item you're going to gamble for?

[clever geode]

then u cant yet

u need pass act 3

[whole locust]

I alr in cruel act 3

[kind blaze]

Socket will be add in range of level (That i know Poison con lv50-4socket , 70-5sock , 90-6sock)

[lament stone]

side area in chimeral forest

[clever geode]

go to waypoint on the right side of the screen

[eternal burrow]

No

[midnight obsidian]

Almost all of those settings are not availible on ps5

[clever geode]

so scale by our level?

[lament stone]

console only has controller ui

[whole locust]

got it ty

[azure lava]

I'd gamble for one and check its ilvl. I'm guessing that's the main difference. So if the unique requires a certain base item, you can't get it from a vendor that offers low level items

[lofty pilot]

is this normal wtf?

Undead monsters being undead?

[eternal burrow]

Wraith King

[lofty pilot]

that was a thing?????

[clever geode]

the elite

[lofty pilot]

I thought this was a bug

[eternal burrow]

No sorery it was a Dota 2 reference

[lofty pilot]

ohhhh

[eternal burrow]

So I should go to ilvl12 vender then

[azure lava]

it's a minion and the rare monster likely has a "Revives minions" mod on it

[azure lava]

I have no idea, tbh. Idk if there are other shenanigans under the hood that would make a later vendor better or worse than the act 1 vendor

[analog lily]

man, that viper woman boss is something ey!

[clever geode]

for rare base i guess

[eternal burrow]

Yeah it's very weird. Ty tho

[wooden quail]

For the currency tab, what counts as currency?

[lofty pilot]

So I can never kill it?

[lament stone]

any basic crafting currency, stuff that increases quality on items, stuff that changes the rarity of items by adding or removing mods

[azure lava]

not until you kill the rare monster that keeps reviving it

[vapid kayak]

how do I get more relics for trial of sekehemas

is it just rng

or do you specifically get given them at certain points

[lament stone]

by doing more trials of the sekhemas

[azure lava]

rng, you can sometimes buy them from vendors as well

[lament stone]

its just rng

[vapid kayak]

gross, this game is really losing me rip

[wooden quail]

Thabks. Genuine question why do people recommend currency tab then? Those stack to 40 no?

[azure lava]

5000

[wooden quail]

As in by default

In the normal tab

[lament stone]

40 by default, 5000 in currency tab

[slim fable]

40 is nothing

[azure lava]

augments only go to 30

[lament stone]

its very easy to stack up 1000s of currency items

[midnight obsidian]

@azure lava @lament stone is there anyone else i could ask about the console xp thing?

[wooden quail]

Do you really need that much? Goddam

[azure lava]

no idea, sorry

[glacial jetty]

This might sound dumb, but i dont fully understand what the disenchanting is for, i recently started playing and would love abit of explanation of it

[slim fable]

you will be getting that many whether you like it or not

[lament stone]

trades can take 1000s of currency

[clever geode]

does having multiple clarity works?

[azure lava]

if you're a gemling, maybe. But otherwise no

[gaunt urchin]

why can't i get my 4th ascendancy? the trial info said specifically that completing it would give me my 4th ascendancy?!?!?!

[signal veldt]

Can someone help me please? I am a level 29 monk. I’m using Harold of thunder for 30 spirit. I have over 40 spirit on my chest and over 40 spirit on my amulet. It says I only have a total of 39 spirit and cannot activate combat frenzy or wind dancer. Any ideas please

[covert socket]

Just got a "buffer underflow" popup and my game crashed.

[azure lava]

when you put items here, it'll show you what you get for disenchanting in the top half

[lament stone]

technically that is the right trial, you just need the 3 keys to access the trialmasters tower to fight the trialmaster

[trim turret]

It basically scraps gear for currency (crafting) items. The rarity of the item determines what you get.

[gaunt urchin]

huh? u need to get 3 keys to get your 4th ascendancy?

[signal veldt]

Can someone help me please? I am a level 29 monk. I’m using Harold of thunder for 30 spirit. I have over 40 spirit on my chest and over 40 spirit on my amulet. It says I only have a total of 39 spirit and cannot activate combat frenzy or wind dancer. Any ideas please

[trim turret]

Do you have support gems on them?

[azure lava]

magic (blue) items = 1 transmute shard
rare (yellow) items = 1 regal shard
Rare items with 6 mods = 2 regals shards
Unique (orange) items = 1 unique shard

[lament stone]

that sounds like you have supports that add additional spirit cost to your herald

[trim turret]

And wait more than 60 seconds for an answer.

[lament stone]

from the trial of chaos yes

[glacial jetty]

Is disenchanting something i should worry about early on right away, or wait later on?

[clever geode]

early

[tawdry merlin]

disenchant all your yellows

[signal veldt]

@trim turret I have cold penetration and magnified effect in herald of ice. Not thunder sorry

[azure lava]

big disagree@glacial jetty

[trim turret]

Never too early to start getting currency. Salvage items with sockets or quality. Disenchant or sell magic and rares.

[tawdry merlin]

tf you vendor your yellows?

[azure lava]

I only DE my rares (yellows) with 6 mods

[trim turret]

Support gems increase costs of spirit gems.

[cursive bluff]

are shields counted as a weapon or armour for the sake of runes??

[lament stone]

armour

[clever geode]

armor

[covert socket]

Once you get to maps you'll be vendoring most rares. I have a severe excess of gold.

[signal veldt]

@trim turret how would I calculate how much is needed to make all my spirit gems activate?

[azure lava]

I have a severe addiction to respeccing my build and gambling, so gold >>> regals for me

[lament stone]

i vendor rares early on for the gold, disenchant later because regals are harder to get in maps compared to gold

[azure lava]

I'm sitting on 230k gold and 7 regals in t2 maps

[glacial jetty]

And i suppose its worth identifying the items i find for more resources or no?

[trim turret]

I think the supports tell you how much they add to the spirit cost when you socket them.

[tawdry merlin]

yea look, gold numbers go up as you go further in the game, regal shards are regal shards at lvl1 or lvl99

[azure lava]

it's free at the hooded one, so yes

[lament stone]

yes

[signal veldt]

@trim turret also even taking all supports out and only using them gems in slot. It still says I have 39 spirit.

[pallid wasp]

anyone have newbie video for poe ?

i played lot of diablo but ik this has nothing to do with it

[trim turret]

Where are you seeing the 39? I feel like only the bar above the mana globe is trustworthy.

[azure lava]

I've found that spirit skills are super finicky and buggy. I'd try moving your gems around or trying other ones and see if it fixes or breaks it more

[signal veldt]

@trim turret is it the cost and reservation? Like the 120% for cold penetration that is increasing it?

[trim turret]

Yup.

[vapid kayak]

if you take a debuff in trial is it active like the whole time? I took 40% less damage

[loud stag]

Question, is changing the price u have listed on tm trying to scam

[vapid kayak]

or just that room

[weak vortex]

is this good?

[trim turret]

Until the trial ends.

[signal veldt]

@trim turret I see 39 above the skill tab

[vapid kayak]

thx hate this xD

[azure lava]

yes, it's for the whole trial. Sometimes if you're lucky you'll have the opportunity to cleanse an affliction, but it's rare

[loud stag]

Yes

If ur a sorcerers.

[azure lava]

depends on how much cast speed and spell damage you have. And how important cast speed is for you

[loud stag]

Or witch depending on build.

[upper pasture]

Guys can someone tell me if I can use both of these on the same skill? Will they stack? Thanks a bunch. 🙂

[azure lava]

the lower your increased spell damage and the greater your increased cast speed, the better those gloves are*

[weak vortex]

well im kinda going for as high cast speed as possible

[loud stag]

Uh.

[signal veldt]

@azure lava @trim turret I’m following raxxantarax ice spike invoker build. And I’ve done everything step by step according to him.

[loud stag]

Less increased spell isn't exactly true

[azure lava]

what do you mean?

[loud stag]

Reread what you said

[trim turret]

From what items are you getting spirit? Did you get the 30 spirit from act 1?

[azure lava]

I wasn't using "more" and "less" in the poe sense. Lemme edit

[loud stag]

Yea kinda confusing

[loud stag]

And yea or nay

[azure lava]

there's no rule against repricing your items

[midnight obsidian]

Found the xp thing, its easier than expected, just press R3.

[azure lava]

console is weird

[signal veldt]

@trim turret I got the 30 spirit from act 1. I have 42 spirit on chest and 42 spirit on amulet. I’m only using herald of ice for 30 spirit and trying to activate wind dancer-30 spirit and combat frenzy-30 spirit

[upper pasture]

Guys if I have two crit chance support gems on the same skill, will they stack?

[loud stag]

It's after whispering

[azure lava]

still fine

[loud stag]

They went mispriced.

[trim turret]

And you've tried it after taking all support gems out of all three skills?

[loud stag]

5 exalt for a support gem

[trim turret]

As long as they aren't the same support.

[upper pasture]

Okay thanks!

[signal veldt]

@trim turret I took all supports out, only used the gems and could still only activate one of three

[quartz patrol]

The Vaal are MVPs for automatic doors

[trim turret]

I'd remove all your spirit gems from their sockets, confirm your total available spirit, and start one at a time. There may be something funky going on, some kind of bug.

[lean turtle]

IRL buddy is starting the game today and is going warrior or witch. What are good class options to duo with each of those for campaign and endgame?

[torn relic]

weapon set points cant allocate jewel sockets or keystones? seems really short sighted and makes the mechanic kind of dogcrap. I would love to allocate resolute technique for example on my shockwave/2hand build

[quartz patrol]

warrior levelling is a bit tough

[signal veldt]

I’ll log in and send screenshots maybe that will help

[quartz patrol]

*compared with other classes

[robust cave]

What elemental ailment threshold mean?

[icy nymph]

Does increased rarity really work on currency drops ? i changed from 30 to 170 and barely see any difference (since 3days)

[signal veldt]

No spirit gems in says 39 up top

@trim turret

[bold pewter]

Hello guys, want to ask
Is trial of strength at chapter 2 supposed to do at higher level?

I'm having trouble since the boss deplete my honour so fast

Class warrior

[glacial jetty]

The Envenom support gem, is that good to put on small quick attacks or 1 big burst skill? im playing Ranger and i've been using it on Lightning arrow, but would it be better on Snipe which has high burst?

[lament stone]

have you got to act 3 yet? if not then you cant get any more spirit from quests yet

[grand dome]

Mates, should I pick charm charges or mana recovery in act 2 sidequest?

[signal veldt]

I haven’t @lament stone

[lament stone]

39 spirit sounds normal for pre act 3

[lean turtle]

Oh I know it is. He’s used to dark souls and Elden ring though so he will be fine if he picks it and I can always turn downscaling off on my sorc for bosses just trying to see what might be optimal duo for each

[quartz patrol]

less likely to get ignited/frozen/shocked

[lament stone]

so theres no problem, you just need to keep playing the game and youll eventually get more spirit

[trim turret]

Turn on the numbers above your life and mana globes in the options and tell me what it says about spirit above your mana globe after you do that. You also don't have blasphemy support on your curse do you?

[azure lava]

the spirit skills are weird as hell. Lemme show you. I have 62 spirit with no supports on wind dancer and temporal rift. I have the supports clarity, herbalism, cannibalism, and vitality (total of 60 spirit to use them all)

Temporal Rift:
When all 4 are on temporal rift, I cannot use it, though it says I have 2 spirit left.
When I remove vitality, I still cannot use it even though I have 22 spirit remaining.
When I remove cannibalism, I CAN use it (37 spirit left)

When I socket ONLY cannibalism, I can use it (47 spirit)

When I socket vitality, cannibalism, and herbalism on Temporal Rift, I cannot use it (12 spirit remaining)
But when I socket those same three on WIND DANCER, I can use temporal rift and wind dancer no problem (12 spirit)

And then when I leave those 3 on wind dancer and put clarity on temporal rift, I cannot use it (2 spirit)

What's even WEIRDER is that when I put 3 of them on wind dancer and the 4th support on Blasphemy, I can use temporal rift with only 2 spirit left.

Spirit is buggy as hell with some abilities and idfk why

Support gem attributes are a non issue (see pic)

[robust cave]

thanks

[signal veldt]

@trim turret where is that at?

[trim turret]

Somewhere in the options menu.

UI settings.

[grand dome]

Should I pick
30% increased Charm Charges gained. Or
15% increased Mana Recovery from Flasks.?

[azure lava]

@trim turretthe first one works and the second one doesn't

spirit is jank

[gray anchor]

wheres the best place to farm exp in act1?

[trim turret]

The one you think you need more.

[quartz patrol]

I think you can switch them around, so pick what you think is best for you at that moment

[lament stone]

zones that are the same level as your character level

[signal veldt]

@trim turret

[trim turret]

Whatever zone is closest to your level.

[grand dome]

Thanks mates

[azure lava]

if you think you need to farm xp in act 1, it likely means you need better skill combos or to get used to dodge rolling and/or changing your playstyle

[trim turret]

Alright. Are you sure your gear is giving you flat spirit and not %increased spirit?

[gray anchor]

Im guessing dodging, tried doing count geonor few times couldnt get the dodge right

[quartz patrol]

if you're above zone level you barely get any xp

[signal veldt]

+39 spirit on chest and + 41 on amulet

[quartz patrol]

cant really overlevel

[lament stone]

unequip and reequip your amulet

[signal veldt]

@trim turret

[fresh ivy]

i dont think there is such a thing as percent global spirit on gear.. the % spirit you see is in creasing the spirit of the item only

[blazing cape]

if a skill has the Attack tag, does all damage it causes benefit from passives that specify attack, such as extra effects after the initial hit, like explosions or chaining beams, etc?

[trim turret]

Then that's probably a bug. Only thing I can think of is to take off all gear and gems and put it back on.

[azure lava]

if you get sapphire rings, those are very helpful for him. He does a bunch of cold damage. Check the vendors in town. Also, during the fog phase, run in a circle along the cirumference of the clear area in the middle. He always charges from the farthest edge from you, so if you're at the opposite edge and moving, he won't ever hit you (you may need 10%+ movement speed on boots for this to work, but I'm not sure)

[trim turret]

Well not all attacks can chain, you do have to pay attention to the gem tags and general behavior of the skill. But yes generic attack boosts apply to all attacks.

[azure lava]

Also, make sure your skills are the highest level they can be and use good supports with them@gray anchor

[fresh ivy]

my witch buddy sees weird spirit issues all the time

[azure lava]

it's so wonky

[trim turret]

Yeah spirit is kind of fucky. I've had a few issues as well.

[fresh ivy]

like he'll have 6 arsonists and 2 warriors... and then he'll despawn the arsonists, and then he'll only be able to get back to 5 arsonists and 2 warriors

[signal veldt]

@trim turret my chest has 39 spirit on it I unequipped and it takes my total spirit from 39 to 30

[gray anchor]

thanks

[signal veldt]

The amulet with 41 spirit doesn’t affect my spirit at all

[trim turret]

Something is busted then I'm sorry to say.

[azure lava]

wut

can you screenshot your entire right half of the screen with and without the amulet (showing spirit)

I wanna see your inventory as well

[nova bear]

which charm should i grab from finn after killing the mistman

[azure lava]

I'd go with cold to help against a boss later on

[nova bear]

ty

[azure lava]

I mostly wanted to see the spirit gauge as well lol

[signal veldt]

All gear equipped no gems

[lament stone]

relog

[cursive forge]

balbala not dropping the quest item for trials in reg dif. anyone know why?

[signal veldt]

No gems no gear with spirit

[lament stone]

you already dropped it?

[signal veldt]

@lament stone it’s been happening since yesterday

[cursive forge]

ive never gotten it i have other ones but not the green one

cause if the green one dropped itd progress the quest right?

[sharp sky]

someone knows where Kitoko's Current Jewelled Gloves drops?

[vapid kayak]

is there a strat for grinding out relics

would suiciding and just finding rares be best way?

[signal veldt]

@azure lava

[azure lava]

I'm not seeing your spirit gauge in those pics

[trim turret]

Uniques mostly don't have specific drop areas.

[signal veldt]

Where’s that?

[azure lava]

oh, I had no idea where it was on console

is this the gauge on console?

[signal veldt]

I only have that one and this one

[azure lava]

yeah the lower right is the one I'm familiar with

[sharp sky]

im on cruel act 3 and still havent seen them so should i just play through everything and see or try to just kill some bosses until it drops?

[azure lava]

most uniques are trash, I wouldn't worry about it

[grim nacelle]

If we need help with Trial of Sekhemas and it’s my first run do I come to this channel

[trim turret]

Keep playing or trade for them.

[hasty osprey]

Guys, how do you sustain CI as a sorc, if u cant really use health flasks for ES. Do you just run away until it regens?

[signal veldt]

It only shows 30 with no gear. It shows 39 with chest and amulet on

[lament stone]

sorc has energy shield recoup on ascendancy

recharge is good enough if you get enough faster start of recharge nodes

[rugged tangle]

ES recharge speed/start, grim feast is also helpful

[signal veldt]

Does it have anything to do with the act I’m in?

@trim turret @azure lava

[lament stone]

are you an invoker

[signal veldt]

Yes

[lament stone]

did you take this node?

bottom line is important

[native lagoon]

if i convert a spells damage to a different type of damage, does it count as its original damage type or the converted one for things that effect levels, like incrased level of cold spells

[lament stone]

137/15 is 9, thats where your 9 spirit is coming from when you equip your body armour

[signal veldt]

I just did my first ascendancy. And took first 2 points. I think I may have that node. Or it may not be until the next ascendancy

[lament stone]

it sounds like thats the node you took

which disables all spirit from equipment, which is why youre not gaining anything

[signal veldt]

So the spirit on my chest and amulet won’t calculate into the spirit. I’ll have to wait to get further inacts to gain more spirit?

[lament stone]

yes

[signal veldt]

Got it thank you!

So essentially that amulet and chest is trash

[lament stone]

yes

or specifically the spirit mods do nothing

[signal veldt]

Got it. Thanks for the help

[trim turret]

@lament stone Damn good catch.

[grim hemlock]

what does self-cast mean? just casting it manually yourself?

[noble cairn]

help? Asala stuck in map? How do I reset a map?

[grim hemlock]

or on yourself

[weak vortex]

goated?

[frank sonnet]

yes it means pushing the button to cast the spell yourself. Most of the things that aren't self-casting aren't actually in the game yet

[grim hemlock]

oh thanks

[hot light]

Can you respec your ascendency points?

[frank sonnet]

not really. Unique doesn't necessarily mean good. it's alright for level 11 but no life or resistance

[trail matrix]

chance shard

[frank sonnet]

yes, it costs 5x what a passive costs

[scenic salmon]

Yes the thorn builds is super hot right now

[weak vortex]

whats that

[trail matrix]

thing you get for disenchanting this

[grim hemlock]

also is there any thorn/retalliation build? asking for a friend

[hot light]

I am torn between Gemling and Witchunter

[scenic salmon]

There are supporting nodes in the tree
So maybe I don't think anyone famous has tried though

[weak vortex]

what does chance shard do

[scenic salmon]

I'll go gemling it's general buffs around very flexible

[prisma mantle]

Can you change your as asendancy later on in game or is it you have to make a new character

[frank sonnet]

I don't think it's a good idea to give sarcastic answers in the new player channel, they don't get it 😛

[trail matrix]

turn into chance orb when you get 10

[frank sonnet]

can't change it no

[noble cairn]

how to reset a map?

[trail matrix]

ctrl click enterance

[noble cairn]

thanks NPC got stuck at a corner

[native lagoon]

Does a gems damage category for passives change if I convert its damage

[unique orbit]

https://i.imgur.com/hx89kh6.jpeg

you love to see it lol

[weak vortex]

what are pros and cons to stormweaver and chronomancer

and can i change my choice later on

[lament stone]

you cant change your ascendancy

[arctic sphinx]

can't change an ascendency once its picked

[weak vortex]

damn

is one much better than the other?

[unique orbit]

stormweaver is the flavour of the motyn

[real ginkgo]

help...I started Act 2 yesterday and I had 65 spirit on my minion witch, and this morning i log in and I have a red ! over some of my skills and my spirit on my character is now 30. What did I do?!?

[arctic sphinx]

I love that ascendency is permanent. I used to love when in D2 your skills were also set in stone.

[azure lava]

they both can do very different things

[lament stone]

did you add any supports that increase the spirit cost?

[weak vortex]

is one generically better than the other tho

[azure lava]

no

[real ginkgo]

OH! I bet I upgraded some skills didn't I

that increased the spirit cost?

[lament stone]

levels dont no

[real ginkgo]

or support maybe...looking

[azure lava]

it shouldn't

[lament stone]

only support gems

[dry siren]

So I seem not to have enough dex to support all my skill gems on my 2nd weapon set but enough on my main set, yet there is no dex on my either set. I'm not sure what's going on.

[real ginkgo]

has to be a support gem then

looking

[lament stone]

check your attribute requirements too

[arctic sphinx]

both are great. I went stormweaver because I wasnt a huge fan of the time reversion rotation

[azure lava]

did you assign points to a weapon set that grant attributes?

[lament stone]

its possible you changed gear that lost some attributes so now you dont have enough to equip all your supports

[azure lava]

I'm a chronomancer fanboy. I think temporal rift is insanely strong if you learn to use it properly

[real ginkgo]

hmmm I did add some gear...

this is confusing

[weak vortex]

i went stormweaver

[dry siren]

[dry siren]

this! Thank you!

[weak vortex]

and how do i get more ascendancy points

isnt this busted?

[lament stone]

completing more ascendancy trials

[lament stone]

not really

[slender gale]

I hate this tornado bird with all i have

[weak vortex]

if i get a crit hit it trigers elemental storm with my highest damage element

whys that not good?

[lament stone]

yea, its good

[ember fractal]

Does spell echo on cold snap explode multiple frostbolts if i have scattershot?

[timber sigil]

what is going on with random disconnects from maps?

[plucky snow]

it feels like it randomly spams different elements

[azure lava]

most ascendancy nodes are busted in the right context. Hold alt and hover over underlined terms for more info. Click them to pop them out into a new window.

[weak vortex]

ah

[opaque wolf]

It would be nice if campaign bosses gave you a big XP drop first time you beat them in the campaign and at least one yellow loot for your class

[azure lava]

there is no such thing as "loot for your class". All classes can use all skills and gear

[lament stone]

any class can use any skill or weapon so having class specific drops doesnt really work

[opaque wolf]

Generally speaking classes favour some kind of loot though

[azure lava]

nope

[lament stone]

like i dont need maces on my minion titan build

[azure lava]

I'm playing a bow chronomancer (sorceres) rn

[marsh elk]

What does the 3-to-1 reforging bench do? Is it like poe1 5-to-1 vendor recipe?

[lament stone]

pretty much yea

[azure lava]

pretty much yeah

get out of my head pls

[green rock]

hey guys please help me, i am probably really dumb but, i get endurance charges instead of power charges with monk, what am i doing wrong?

[marsh elk]

I thought it's something like recombinator at first. Never got around to check.

[azure lava]

do you have the keystone that makes you get endurance charges instead of power charges?

[lusty hinge]

read what resonance does

[flint plume]

Note that the lack of scours makes it more useful than the PoE1 5-1

[azure lava]

@green rock

[lament stone]

did you take the keystone that swaps what charge you gain? youre supposed to use that with a source of frenzy charge generation because its easier to gain frenzy charges than power charges

[lusty hinge]

when following the build, it's a good idea to at least read what skills you are taking to avoid confusion

[viral nest]

just started getting buffer underflow issues, never had these before i dont understand

[lament stone]

reading is super important

[viral nest]

the game just fully crashes and gives me the "buffer underflow" error

[green rock]

but i have resonance 😦

[azure lava]

exactly

that's why you're getting endurance charges

[lusty hinge]

you need to generate frenzy charges to get power charges

[lament stone]

youre supposed to use a source of frenzy charges with that

[green rock]

give me a second, let me try

[plucky snow]

*tell me theorycrafting is not your thing without telling me theorycrafting is not your thing

[green rock]

you have no idea for how long i was looking for an answer😂

i love you guys, thank you

[flint plume]

As others said, read the abilities you take. If you're following a guide, and you're not following it strictly, then understand how it works before changing things.

[timid flax]

divine orbs reroll numbers but stay within same tier?

[flint plume]

Yes

[green rock]

you are right

[flint plume]

Keystones, in particular, tend to do big things and have drawbacks, so you should always understand what they do when taking them

[flint cypress]

How many rounds of ultimatum do you need for 2nd ascendency?

[lament stone]

7

[torn relic]

the fact you cant spend weapon set points on keystones is so annoying

[real ginkgo]

yeah I don't understand spirit at all I guess....just completely dorked my character some how and it's now unplayable

[azure lava]

can you not?

[torn relic]

no

[real ginkgo]

im so frustrated.

[flint plume]

What's the issue?

[azure lava]

oh, shit

TIL

[azure lava]

spirit is also jank af which doesn't help

[real ginkgo]

I suddenly have no minions on my witch. I'm level 20 in Act 2 and have no idea what I did.

[lament stone]

they dont want you to just be able to switch keystones whenever you want because they can be pretty strong

[flint cypress]

thanks

[upper pasture]

Any idea why I can't place this jewel into this socket?

[real ginkgo]

my character screen says I have 30 spirit...but I have a scepter that says +32% spirit

[upper pasture]

nvm

I'm dumb

[azure lava]

it looks like you haven't allocated the point yet

ah, you saw

[upper pasture]

Yeah lmao

[lament stone]

that mod is local to the sceptre

[upper pasture]

Brainfart moment

[flint cypress]

Does the specter have any spirit on it itself?

[flint plume]

Did you switch weapons?

[real ginkgo]

oh ffs

[lament stone]

it increases the spirit on the sceptre by 32%

[real ginkgo]

maybe I've been upgrading gear here and there

[flint plume]

Lost the stat requirements on the scepter?

[real ginkgo]

I upgraded my skeletal arsonist minion to level 5

does that increase the spirit needed???

[flint cypress]

Tends to decrease

but you need the int requirements to run them

[cinder garnet]

Short question what ist the best loot filter?

[flint plume]

When in doubt use Neversink

[willow bison]

is any support gems that changes dmg type to physical?

[frank sonnet]

there aren't many filters out at the moment and during campaign they're not really necessary

neversink's is good

but it doesn't filter anything, just highlight, during campaign

[cinder garnet]

Im in endgame

[lament stone]

no

[real ginkgo]

I have no red stat requirements on any gear

[manic blaze]

I now understand why global chat is always full of "need help with viper" messages. This boss is fucked up

[real ginkgo]

I have no clue how spirit is this confusing

[lusty hinge]

crashes while doing what exactly?

troubleshooting this would be:

• switching servers and/or resetting instance
• fiddling with your graphics settings (lowering heavy ones like shadows, etc)
• verifying your game
• clearing shader cache
• for some waiting for 15-20 minutes helped as well

[frank sonnet]

don't think so, might be a way to finagle something with uniques depending on the skill you want to use, that's getting into advanced build stuff though

[cinder garnet]

Thank u will try out neversink

[willow bison]

or changes physical to "x" elemental?

[lament stone]

dont think any supports can convert damage in poe2

[eternal violet]

Whats the most beginner friendly class rn?

[lament stone]

its something you only find on uniques

[frank sonnet]

yeah I think viper was the hardest boss in the campaign for me? Swapping to shield to defend against her barrage, and getting some poison resistance, made a lot of difference

[real ginkgo]

@barren thorn I'd say minion witch, but I somehow accidentally dorked up my entire build with spirit somehow

so maybe not

[stone shuttle]

Guys how do I claim hideout? I cleared this tier 1 area felled hideout. But how do I claim it? 0 monsters remain but I type /hideout it doesn't work

[viral nest]

luckily its not while leveling, just in the seepage map... doing the verifying now but where would i clear the shader cache? not sure where it is

[frank sonnet]

lots of skills have phys to elemental built in, some uniques do it too. if you're a poe1 player, conversion doesn't let you "double dip" in this game like it did in PoE1

[flint plume]

I feel like there's a good chance this is something simple like stat requirements but we don't have enough info to figure it out

[frank sonnet]

you have to go to alva and select the hideout

[manic blaze]

Just a pure luck boss for ranger from the look of it. Evade works or die and go again. Super fun, thanks GGG

[stone shuttle]

thanks bro

[lament stone]

you unlocked it, you can just leave now and go speak to alva

[lusty hinge]

it does hide stuff though

[real ginkgo]

what can I provide?

[frank sonnet]

what are you dying to?

[manic blaze]

When the shields all step forward, it just instakills me

[frank sonnet]

you mean the phase where the guys are doing their spear attacks?

[lusty hinge]

%APPDATA%/Path of Exile 2/

[willow bison]

i see im a first time poe player sooo yeah ahha .

[real ginkgo]

that's what I'm seeing

[manic blaze]

Spear attacks then the arena closes in more and they all stab at once

[flint plume]

Everything Viper does is telegraphed and dodgeable. She's a really hard fight but this isn't an evasion issue.

[frank sonnet]

you can dodge roll through those attacks and just watch when they're coming

[grim shadow]

how do i finish this quest on a second character? speaking to him doesnt do anything

[frank sonnet]

when they do the big wave, just dodge roll

[flint plume]

They go in a wave, you have to roll through them

Abuse dodge roll invincibility games

[lament stone]

open a map

[frank sonnet]

the thing that killed me a lot was that viper did her poison barrage WHILE they did the wave of spears, so while I was standing back up from the roll she barraged me to death. I put a shield on my weapon swap purely to use raise shield at that point to defend against the barrage, worked great

[torn relic]

to give new players an example of what im doing on my shockwave warrior. turn all totem skills into weapon set points and spend the others on accuracy/damage for sunder/HOTG

[manic blaze]

If only we all had access to shields

[grim shadow]

i didnt, nothing happened

[frank sonnet]

you have a weapon swap

[lament stone]

did you go in the map and complete it?

[flint plume]

We do

[grim shadow]

yes

[frank sonnet]

you can put like an item level 2 shield from the first zone of the game on your weapon swap if you don't have strength, raise shield is always 100% block chance

[kind crest]

trying to plan out my merc passive tree and I have a really stupid quesiton..

Do crossbows count as two handed weapons for the purposes of the passive tree?

[real ginkgo]

OMG it was the secondary weapon slot...somehow I moved my weapon to that and didn't realize it

FFS

[lusty hinge]

yes

[flint plume]

Like I said, probably a simple mistake

[kind crest]

Thank you!

[lament stone]

yes

[manic blaze]

I'll just wait for global to send aid. Not a fun fight for a dot build when she's invincible half the time

[solar yew]

If you are unsure if something will effect your skills you can hold SHIFT and it will show you the dps increase (Good indicator if it works or not) though obviously won't work on all passives

[kind crest]

thank you as well

[little cedar]

how do I change my UI to the smaller one I see some streamers using?

[flint plume]

That hasn't actually worked for me. I've had lots of cases of it not showing skills that should definitely be affected (e.g. Not showing fireball being affected by elemental damage)

[flint plume]

Depending on what you mean by smaller one, I think the answer is either change your control scheme or get a higher resolution monitor, unfortunately

[heady panther]

hello, I'm doing the trial of chaos for my 3rd and 4th ascendancy points, I'm at round 3 and there are 2 walls that I can open, when one opens the other closes, I'm stuck and I can't do anything there is no way for me to go beyond the walls, Idk what to do has anyone been in this situation? Is it bugged?

[lament stone]

was it elemental damage with attacks?

[solar yew]

Hmmm interesting, might be a bug to be reported

[flint plume]

Nope. Universal elemental damage. For some reason basically no node whatsoever is showing anything for most of my skills.

[flint plume]

Take the elevator back up and use the walls as a bridge. That confused me too

[heady panther]

oh my god thank you so much lol, this wasn't clear in my head

[little cedar]

oh so i gotta use controller? lame. i think it looks better

[flint plume]

Yeah, PoE's interface is annoying non-customizable. Controller and KB/M have different interfaces but don't think there's any way to get the one that doesn't match your control scheme

[little cedar]

there is also one where everythign is in 1 corner, i like that too

also requries controller

controller gets 2 cool looking UIs

[dense smelt]

is this worth selling?

[ebon turret]

meh

[noble lynx]

God I'm tired of fing losing waystones to bullshit ways to die. If there's gonna be unavoidable death don't spank me so fin hard for dying

[lusty hinge]

aight

[flint plume]

This channel is for new player campaign questions

[noble lynx]

Oh sorry u right. Was on other one last night. Forgot I moved

[calm tulip]

Hey guys, is there a fast paced ADHD like build? I just started and most classes feel quite slow. Can be piano, idc just something fast and flashy.

[flint plume]

I think most builds in this game start slow but get a lot faster later

[river bough]

Thanks. Feels strange since it should be valid to have alternative paths in the middle

[lament stone]

poe2 is just a much slower game than poe1

[calm tulip]

I did dive a bit into mobalytics and most of the starter builds don’t even have a movement skill?

[lament stone]

there are no movement skills in poe2

[vapid violet]

At least traditional ones

[calm tulip]

Oh there is no blink etc?

[vapid violet]

Only to enemies

[lament stone]

blink replaces dodge roll

[flint plume]

There barely are movement skills in this game. You can use blink but it replaces dodge roll. There's also leap slam and shield charge.

[lament stone]

and its a 60 spirit reservation skills so kinda hard to get into a build

[calm tulip]

Okay that’s a bummer

Will just play sorc then and try to make blink work lol

[granite mountain]

is firewall a hit?

[flint plume]

Everyone gets a dodge roll now but besides that characters are a lot less mobile than PoE1 characters

[lament stone]

it also has a cooldown

[vapid violet]

It's just that poe2 isn't your regular arpg in that u can't zoom zoom everywhere it's supposed to be about methodical combat

[calm tulip]

That’s fine ig

Just adjusting then

[flint plume]

Blink doesn't necessarily make you more mobile due to cool down. Unless you have Temporalis I guess

[lament stone]

3.5s cooldown

[calm tulip]

Enjoying wasd atm

[lament stone]

poe2 is just a much slower game

[flint plume]

You can still be pretty fast and flashy in endgame

But not as fast or mobile as PoE1 builds usually

[calm tulip]

At least I know that now and can adjust the Playstyle 🙂

[supple moss]

new to this game and im like lvl 38 and i dont do enough damage on my ranger im just wondering if anyone can join a call and tell me why im so weak

[lament stone]

have you been upgrading your weapon and skill levels

[supple moss]

yes I even had a buddy thats also newish but less new than me and he has no idea either

[marble hinge]

I just unlocked Bonestorm but it won't cast and I don't know why

[little cedar]

So I'm still stuck in act 2 like middle area (have not done ascendeny its impossible w/ my gear). Its gettying super hard still wearing lvl 11 stuff. So I gotta use trade site now?

[lament stone]

are you holding whatever button youre using to cast it? its a channeling skill

[lusty hinge]

meanwhile some guy running around the beach map at lightspeed

[little cedar]

trade should maybe be in game since how important it is imo

[marble hinge]

Yes

[lusty hinge]

having a shield and a shield charge is nice though, decent distance, pretty low cooldown

[lusty sundial]

hi, does Divine Orbs reroll Implicit mods ?

[lament stone]

yes

[lusty sundial]

thats ncie to know, ths mate 🙂

[little cedar]

What does it mean if a weapon is "corrupted"? Isaw a nice crossbow on website its like 2x more dmg than mine

but says corrupted

[calm tulip]

What are the best cheap uniques that are good for every class while leveling? Like boots or something? Is there a Talrasha?

[ivory badger]

Corrupted means the item can no longer be modified any further

[flint plume]

Wanderlust is okay for everyone. Lifesprig with a good roll is good for all casters.

[ivory badger]

It can still be used normally

[calm tulip]

Thx!

[void nexus]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Fireflower any idea where one gets this? there is none on the market. i thought getting something like this with +4 fire and some spirit. could it be that nobody dropped it yet?

[frank sonnet]

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

[wintry forge]

Jewller's orbs only drop from mobs?

[frank sonnet]

in the campaign there are a few events that reward them too

I think you get one guaranteed at the start of act 3 cruel

[wintry forge]

Amazing, thanks ^^

[jagged furnace]

Okay

[void nexus]

i did input exactly the same thing and gave me no results. thanks, your link works

[frank sonnet]

you are DCing

[lament stone]

mostly yes, theres 2 guaranteed lesser jewellers in act 3 and act 3 cruel

[jagged furnace]

Nah, it's loading bar.

[frank sonnet]

you might have had filters on from the last thing you searched for, make sure to click clear first

[lament stone]

im seeing 620 results

[void nexus]

oh... filters it is. i thought it is a new search every time. so it costs divine orbs... everything costs divine orbs ... ;/

[marble hinge]

anyone know why Bonestorm might not be casting for me?

[frank sonnet]

good gear does yeah

[hasty osprey]

what are annoints and how do u get them?

[frozen jay]

How does increased item rarity work?

[frank sonnet]

although there are a lot of listings for like 35 ex as well, if any of them will sell to you

[void nexus]

oh well, i haven't even got that much yet 🙂

[frank sonnet]

it increases the "goodness" of all the drops basically. Makes rares drop at higher tiers, makes currency drop as rarer currency, etc

[frank sonnet]

doesn't strike me as an item that will make or break a build unless you're trying to exploit the self damage

[versed parrot]

Does the Act 2 Final Boss just have a lot of hp or is my dmg not enough? Thats my current weapon

[frank sonnet]

he has a lot of HP yes, and 2 phases

[frozen jay]

And generally its a lux stat right? Not important?

[lost smelt]

all the final bosses in the first few acts can be a bit of a drag

[void nexus]

yeah, i was just looking for some upgrades. that's my amulet 🙂

[little cedar]

were did u get that?

[lament stone]

that looks like a pretty low level weapon for act 2 final boss

[static patio]

my friend got this . after i gifting him the game on steam? how does he fix it?

[versed parrot]

Didnt found any better so far

[void nexus]

maybe i should slap some exalted orbs on that amulet...

[lament stone]

the steam key is not an early access key

[flint plume]

It's currently kind of overpowered and can make loot much, much better in endgame. But not part of character power and don't worry about it in campaign

[static patio]

yes it is what

[stark mauve]

you're a W friend lol thats for sure

[static patio]

it says early supporter pack

with one early access key

[frozen jay]

Tell them to relog

[lament stone]

you gifted an actual pack? or just the steam client key that you got from the pack?

[frank sonnet]

It is very very good but yeah it makes your character weaker. If you can get some it's very impactful though

[static patio]

i gifted the entire pack

through steam

[frozen jay]

Good to know! And it only works on my final blows when I'm in a party right?

[lament stone]

is their poe1 account banned?

[frank sonnet]

Yes

[lament stone]

can they log in to the poe website to check if they have early access?

[frozen jay]

I got the same message when I started the game and made an account. Just relogged and it was fine.

[mystic oak]

has anyone played pconc on controller? how is the targetting?

[shut abyss]

automatic

[charred otter]

why cant i put my 3 Weapon Set points into the nodes? ohh....i got it...good thing for these tool tips (just read it a few times over to understand it lol). (i dont have any Skill points available) - to use 1 Weapon Set point it will consume 1 Skill point, but lets you use 2 Weapon Set points if you have them, (but the passive skill nodes that you unlock them with, only applies to the 1st weapon Set that you have equipped on, not the 2nd). soooo...if i have 1 skill point and 4 weapon set points...i can only use 2 Weapon Set points? **did i get this right? lol

[lament stone]

weapon set points are not extra points, they use your normal skill points but only apply to whichever weapon set youve applied those skill points to

[fleet portal]

what do corrupted weapons do?

[lament stone]

if you dont use weapon swaps, just ignore weapon set points

[frank sonnet]

Corrupted just means "can't be changed", what's interesting is how it got corrupted and whether that did anything good to it

[zealous folio]

for my build do i upgrade bow shot or leave that alone and focus on lightning arrow

[verbal nymph]

Dang I got excited belt with 3 charm slots - didn’t realize charms don’t give the passive resist unless hit 🙃

[lament stone]

focus on lightning arrow and lightning rod

[frank sonnet]

You can only upgrade bow shot by upgrading weapons and it's automatic

[fleet portal]

idk i wanna buy this tho cause my current weapon is from act 1

[zealous folio]

thanks

[tall ledge]

hi all, is there a way in game to un-bind middle-click and use a different mouse button? i am trying to bind mouse button 4 on a g502 mouse and when i use the in game settings to switch the binding nothing happens when i click mouse button 4. any suggestions?

[clever geode]

if it's cheap then buy it

it's not great

but not bad

[fleet portal]

what shall i look for in a weapon if i want high dps

[plucky snow]

flat phys damage, % phys damage

[vapid violet]

Prob have to mess around with the logitech software and change ur side buttons or w/e to keyb keys and then try to rebind and resolve conflicts

[craggy gyro]

Somehow on my Ranger I managed to either bug myself out or idk what happened. Herald of Thunder required 30 Spirit to activate it, and now I deactivated it and trying to activate it again, but this time it costs 40 Spirit which I don't have. I only got the 30 😂

[tall ledge]

makes sense, thanks @vapid violet

[gaunt phoenix]

guys do relics get consumed on failing or succeeding a trial ?

[nova moss]

We can all hope they make some serious changes to this game over the holiday break; otherwise, it's headed for the dumpster.

[plucky snow]

no, they remain

[marble hinge]

I unlocked Bonestorm but I can't cast it. Does anyone know what might be causing the issue?

[vapid violet]

Some support gems have added spirit reservation

[craggy gyro]

So I just locked myself out of it now?

[trim turret]

Using the correct weapon type? Mssf the requirements?

[plucky snow]

respecked stats? missing int?

[trim turret]

No, remove the support gems.

[craggy gyro]

Legend. Works

Much obliged lads

[marble hinge]

@trim turret @plucky snow I have the right stats and weapon

[plucky snow]

screenshot the skill, it usually writes why it cant be used

[lament stone]

are you using a support on it that exceeds your support limit?

[nocturne bramble]

Is this the right forum asking for help with a boss? ☺️

[lament stone]

the number of each colour of supports you can use is limited by attributes

for example if you only have 5 str you can only use 1 red support gem

[lament stone]

ok its not that

[plucky snow]

have you ever casted anything on alt?

[lament stone]

you have it on alt?

[plucky snow]

maybe bind doesnt work xd

[lament stone]

thats the show ground loot button

when you hold alt it shows loot on the ground

[marble hinge]

yep that was it i put it back to T and now it works

that's really annoying

but ty all

[plucky snow]

there is additional set of binds using ctrl+q/e/t/f

if you find it easier

[signal veldt]

Can someone give me a simplified answer to how I can get a third gym slot in my skills

[rain dragon]

can anyone help me?in the quest of the trail of corruption I have lost the horn of vastiri and I can't advance in the campaign.

[lament stone]

skills granted by items or ascendancy skills gain slots as you level
other skills you need to use jewellers orbs

[plucky snow]

use lesser jewellers orb item

[upper rapids]

Hi guys, how does phys->cold/lightning conversion work if i use charged staff with ice strike? Each of them converts 80% of cold / lightning damgae to phys

[lament stone]

the first jewellers orb you can get is in act 3

theyre very rare until you finish the campaign

[pulsar ivy]

whats the most important stat on a bow

[signal veldt]

So o can’t purchase from market yet? Because I’m not act 3?

[vapid violet]

Imo flat physical and % physical dmg then +to proj skills

[lament stone]

the conversion would be scaled down to 100% keeping the original ratio, so if both have 80% conversion they would be scaled down to 50% each to fit within 100%

[fleet portal]

wait can u coem to me i dont want to lose this loacation im in rn?

[hexed flame]

Hello, how can I scale Gas Arrow's Explosion damage ? It doesn't have projectile, chaos and duration tags, does it ?

[fleet portal]

its for story

[signal veldt]

Bow attacks fire 2 additional arrows and physical damage @pulsar ivy

@lament stone can I buy the lesser jeweler orbs on the market and use them even if I’m not in act three yet?

[vapid violet]

Isn't the 2 added arrows just an implicit of dualstring bows or w/e they are called?

[lament stone]

yes, but you might struggle with mana costs of having an extra support that early
