Goodnight everyone
i need a spirit gem fir that right?
How do I trade with the NPC on an expedition? He doesn't have any option to buy/sell when I click, but the loot from blowing stuff up says I can trade with him?
yeah.. you dont need to worry about it yet
its defensive
for bosses, you need to cut frost-bomb from "elemental"
kk ill remeber it for when i get one
frost bomb will lower the boss resistance and help you freeze and dps them
u can slot clarity in for mana regen
ahh
and then you want freezing mark
okay, this is not necessary, sort of a bonus.. ill look to see if i have a lower one
is it best to disenchant this or use the bench?
or actually, is it possible to send it to an alt?
you can always spend 7 minutes creating a new character, fighting to first town, and then just put the first skill gem they give you into the bank for your ranger
can i not go back and kill mobs for them?
you can, but itll take more time
kk
#2┃looking-for-group ... if you cant find anyone, come back
what other abilities do you have?
you dont need any of your lightning stuff, you can take that out
yeah
@fresh ivy The other side of this wheel is effectively increased chance to freeze too, so I've taken those
put that in your bank
seems to work
you need freezing mark
anf ill work on getting frost bomb, and freezing mark
time to do the final part of act2, wish me luck
good luck
ty lol
So I’m suffering through act 3 trying to play cold spells only
what class?
are you using frost bomb?
Yea
any gems in escape shot/freezing mark?
i would put increase chance to freeze in escape shot if you don't already have it in something else
and then i would put duration in freezing mark
you will only cast freezing mark on big targets
Ok I just saw this is a new player channel, only read campaign
does duration have a name? dont see it
persistence?
yes that
yeha deep freeze is durtion
how do I beat bloated miller
glaciation is what you put on escape arrow
yea, i would put that on herald
herald is full atm
well you can leave it on escape if you have a slot
you can cut a third slot
escape arrow is your "oops" escape
it had threee
to freeze targets that reach you
has
well, just put it in your inventory and experiement a little
see what you like
your goal is to be able to freeze targets before they reach you with ice shot
if they reach you, escape arrow
somehow
freeze is so good...
i know you want to buff arttack speed but you really dont
more attacks means more mana
targets freeze based on the damage you do to them
kk
So Poe does not prey on fomo right ?
so given the choice between 2x attack sped and 2x damage, you want to take 2x damage for now....
later attack spee will be better
is there a guide for bloated miller
can i stop my hellhound from igniting my gasclouds ? i want to use my detonade dead to explode the cloud but my hellhound keeps instantly igniting the gas cloud
well... dont thank me yet... come back when it's working (or not) and report!
It has an ignite aura as it’s main function so not that I’m aware of
currently freezing stuff and blowing them up so it is working haha
excellent!
I'm gonna try sleep
I just hope everything goes well.
Felt a bit sad that I ended today not beating a 2 phase boss at all
Goodnight I guess
yeah, and so for bosses what exactly do i do with frost bomb
hello this is my first ever arpg looking for some friends to play with and learn the game
thanks for the help, haha bit of a change of pace coming from fps games to this
you just want to chain cast it on them on cooldown... it explodes in 3 seconds and lowers their cold resist by 20%
Qn: which is calculated first: increased critical hit chance or critical weakness??
critical weakness increases your base crit chance against the targert
i think
but all sources of "increased critical hit chance" are additive
i might be wrong, maybe it's just 20% increased when it stacks up
so there is no "first"
10%, it's 20 stacks of 0.5%
kk
can you change this at anytime?
is point blank in acension skill bad to have?
is there any way to downgrade gem lvl?
oh kuro, just got a spirit gem drop lol. so wind dance ya?
it depends if you like to fight up close or far awawy
wind dance, with pin support
Nah, have to cut a new skill gem of a lower level
i personally like to get tailwind first, dallas
anyone got by any chance a spirit gem for lvl 8-9-10? can buy it
what do you guys think should be my first carrior besides warrior
witch or the monk
why does weaponswap sometimes not resummon my minions properly?
why did the sacrificial heart despawn from my inventory lol
can I go back and get another?
nobody knows
yes
yea
okay atleast thats alright why did it despawn though
lol @kuro lucky first couple kills in a lvl 11 area got me a low lvl skill gem
eh wtf, guess I need to|| hide from that wind somewhere|| against that boss
got frost bomb now
nice
frost bomb is more for the cheap source of -20% cold resist than damage... becauase you can't built the int to level it up...
um what do I do against ||that wind ||with the king boss in act 2?
yep, and just drop that on the boss and spam ice abilities
sweet
ty again man, life save
saver
go fight a boss and report...
Your partner summons a shield which you can hide behind
ic thanks
Thank you! ❤️
restarted to clear gui glitchiness and have to do the vulkan shaders again...
do you guys on other platforms get them or is it only linux?
This I mean
why is my blink spirit skill not working ive turned it on, its supposed to make you teleport instead of dodge roll
there is GPU glitchiness if you have <12gb of gpu ram in my experience
@fresh ivy is it ok to branch of the spec u sent me to get attributes and stuff?
I have 24
Can block chance on shield block spells?
you can spec the attribute nodes to DIFFERENT attributes
but you should not be branching off, because you want to get to that node in the bow ASAP...
it makes it so tht 20% projectile speed = 20% damage
which is a HUGE buff
because there are more sources of projectile speed
Ign SeasonedMilk
@fresh ivy this is what i can afford so far
have a few off that i gotta respec when i get some cash'
Ohh, you dont need all that in the bow on the end, let me look really quick
Invited u
FYI - I would not take the crit nodes on the bow
crit is not that strong until you have ALOT of points to invest in it
im playing sorc and try to lvl for the fireball build, but early game its weak AF bosses are a nightmare cause i die like 10-15 times before i can kill them. any tips to ease it a bit cause this is getting frustrating
Anybody got spare level 11 skill gems they don't need?
@sweet sage bruh....how 😂
@karmic root when you can, i would unspec the crit nodes in the bow and pickup those 3 elemental nodes hanging off the bottom
🙂 gg
ok this boss is tough
@sweet sage thx 😂
Make lightning build 🙂↕️ i think fire build is the worst (not bad but less damage)
Is there a way to safely exit to town?
My HC character is <1 sec from dying, but whenever I log back in, I'm right back to the soon-to-be-dead scenario. I cannot exit to checkpoint, as the checkpoint is right where I'm located

do you mind doing it on that link u sent me to copy
ok so remopve th crit onees on the boow
as a nader i should just slot phy atk into weapon right
yeah, remove the ones on the bow taht are about crit... and put them into those three elemental nodes
kk
got it
they are buffing your elemental dmg
which is what ice shot is
ill make you a spec with some more nodes to head to3wards
helo, can you put multiple waystone in 1 node?
perfce tty
Hey everyone, hope you're all having an awesome holiday season! Just wanted to throw out a quick Christmas wish — any chance anyone has a POE2 key they could share? I’ve been super excited for the game and getting in early would be an amazing holiday gift.
I’d love to dive in and explore all the new content with the rest of you. Totally no pressure, just figured I'd ask since it's the time of year for giving.
Wishing you all a fantastic holiday, full of good times, good loot, and hopefully a little holiday magic!
@fresh ivy yeah the ice shot with heraldf is nuts lo;... they insta die vs what i used to have
yup
there are many little hidden synergies in the game
and you have to use and abuse them
i made a second passive stage on that planner
you will probably be surprised at some of the nodes in it 🙂
you have to switch the pulldown to see it
dont forget to put a jewel in your socket
switch the pull down?
yeah what goes in there just notcuied that
a jewel
a pulldown? haha sorry im stupid...
pulldown where it says "core ice shot"
So i have a question i keep killing a boss to quick and it kicks me out then i need to re-do the fight
you have to maximize the planner
with the expand box
Do I just not use that skill?
that is more elemental dmg
is warrior totem consider a minon type?
kk
holysheesh..
im going to add you so we can take this private, dallas
sweet ty
hi my crossbow keeps switching to the 1st crossbow when i shoot it is there a way to fix it?
can i freeze and shock enemy at the same time?
because it seems like i can only freeze
how do i invite my friend to a guild
yes you can
Does attack speed increase the DPS numbers in a skill description? (Bow)
Hi guys , can someone help me with last boss in first act ? Can’t kill him…
if i die on trial of sekhemas i loose my key?
yes but not the first one
whats your cold resist?
anyone need help on wolf?
fuck - i just attempted my trial for the 3rd ascencion and died because i did not know of the mechanics
don't worry about it you'll get plenty of coins or you can just buy more
where do i buy more?
how does +x% element dmg on weapon works?
add the base element damage on the weapon itself? or adds the skill dmg
for example if i got +70% elemental dmg on my crossbow and i use explosive grenade
does my explosive grenade gets the 70% fire dmg boost?
from trade
% inc ele dmg on weapons should be global, not local to the weapon
It's a global modifier
talk to me like i am new to the game
Weapon mods are quite confusing tbh
it applies to all ele dmg you deal
if it was local, it only increases the dmg numbers on the weapon
Right click the crossbow ability on your hotbar and at the bottom you'll see check boxes for the weapon sets that are used with that ability.
so it affects all attack that does elemental
yep
so this are local
And it's not that great due to diminishing returns
yes
flat dmg on weapons is local
and your skills then use your weapons dmg as base dmg
no that is to assign an ability to a bow but if the ability needs to use lift click it swaps back to weapon 1
Yes, attack speed should raise the dps tooltip for attack skills
What are your two weapons?
2 crossbows
this works with nades but not things that need left click to shoot
Do bosses have more hp if you play multiplayer?
Hoe to gain flask charges in poe 2?
No, this is a weird thing with the basic attack. Do you have to crossbow shot abilities in your skill list? You cannot have just one basic attack for both cbows
appreciate it!
does spell damage effect monk shock damage?
You need to assign one button for each cbow basic attack
It doesnt seme to work like 1
Yes
There is no such thing as shock damage. Spells are also mutually exclusive with attacks. Check your gem description to see if you're using a spell or an attack
Ty
how do i do that cos the basic attack keybind is greyed out in the settings
I don't think you need to use the settings. When you left click a slot in your hotbar, do you see two basic shots?
yes
so if i switch that itll work?
One of those is for crossbow one, the other is for crossbow two. You need to assign them separately
You cannot have one button as an agnostic basic shot for both
alright thx alot
The bigger question is do you want do swap like this?
No they don't lmao that's their whole problem
When beat the odin named birds, are you suppose to go do the trial again?
for 2nd set of ascendancy points that is the last boss, is that what you are asking?
To get your third ascendancy point, just do a sanctum with 3 floors. It's easiest.
By sanctum I mean trial of sekhemas, sorry
Oh I’m just going through act 2 rn and beat those birds, wasnt sure if I should stop my progress and go and do sekhemas
Those birds were rough 😭
wait where are the bird bosses in act 2?
but if you feel weak u can wait to levle up a bit more
I thought you meant trial of chaos
there are two rare birds in act 2 deshar zone that drop a sanctum invite
maybe I am missing the Odin reference
Okies. So i could clear again. I might hold off till after I beat Act 2 boss
Oh theyre named after Odin’s birds yea. I’m a mythology nerd sorry
You can try the first trial of sekhemas as many times as you want until you succeed. So you can try it a couple times and come back later if needed
I failed it like 4 times before I beat it
i think they can only use that particular token once
Like the vultures? ah ok like an extra 2 room barya? That is not a required trial and gives nothing. You can use it to farm relics for the future.
but you can do another quest in a2 to get a quest version of the invite that can be done over and over
should I rush through act 1 to get started? or take it slow?
Yea I beat it the first time already. I took forever
Ahhh okies this is just an extra try then
This game really rewards exploration way more than poe1 did. Not just for lore, but also for loot
Yea! It honestly was so hard but i’m a poe newb so it probably wasnt that hard for most XD
it's hard for sure
so kill all the mobs in every instance? and dont just dash through to finish stuff?
Nah, I've been playing poe1 for a decade and the trials slapped me
I'm not saying kill every mob, but exploring a whole zone often leads to nifty loot
I havent done 3rd ascendancy yet, I am gonna do ultimatum.
ohk
ultimatum is way harder
I did some test 2 test runs with level 70 and 71 ultimatums and it was easier.
I dont know if it’s cause of FromSoftware games but i am guilty of clearing thr map. If i die, i’ll just clear the areas I havent explored yet though
I'm level 71 and just got my first 3-trial sekhema and holy shit it's easy with 51% honor resistance. I got some early boons for 50% more damage and 30% less monster like and I beat the first floor with 2,400/2,600 honor left
for trial what does the level affects other then how many points/floor it has/monster levels
There are a couple issues out of my control but they are not the only issues, also a skill issue.
Tho being a chronomancer that slows everything around me by like 40% is very strong as well
in PS5 you cant see current afflictions/boons list
the trouble with ultimatum for 3rd ascendancy is you have to fight 2 of the 3 ultimatum bosses (randomly selected) and the tornado bird boss is a nightmare lol
if you get chimera and the easy bird it's not bad, but if you get the hard bird who does the tornado it's rough
and the hourglass rooms get extremely choppy in 3rd floor for some reason
i think sanctum boss are easier bcs bigger arena
You mean the area level? Area levels affects monster life/damage globally. As well as the ilvl of loot
And I suck at gauntlet
i dont think area level affects trial of sekhemas mobs
I think the biggest issue is I am very reactive and not used to doign no hit type runs and I am also old
The area level is probably a bug, always shows as 22
It doesn't? I thought it affected sanctum mobs in poe1 though
no the item for the trial
the barya level is the area level and it also goes +1, +2 etc per floor iirc
Yeah, the djinn Barya lists an area level on it
example this
do i need to be lvl 68 to enter?
No
no need
ohh
That's the level of the mobs in that trial
but if you are doing it at a lower level then you are probably a god
is this a bug or some kind of feature? had several of these where there is a wall supposed to be an opening
Or a chronomancer
There's a switch hidden nearby
When you mouse over it, the label should show up
thanks 🙂
hmmm i think you are right that area level affects trial of sekhemas mobs... i forgot sanctum in poe 1 was like that
also heard chayula can, but idk why someone would go chayula just for sanctum
interesting, so new players ideally want as low area level invite as possible
maybe their endgame currency strat is sanctum 
The lower level baryas are trading for ridiculous prices iirc
heh, TIL
Blasphemy temp chains + 20% chronomancer slow + electrocute build = ez sekhema
I didnt get one in acts, so the lowest I got was level 65
they should maybe change that lol
not the channel for this discussion though i guess
If they really want this to be diffcult they can just stop it from dropping < area level 65
If you put on a ton of ES gear, start your trial of the sekhema, and then swap to gear with lower ES, do you still keep your max honor from the energy shield equipment?
I actually did this and wish I paid more attention. I did record it in PS5 the other day so I can go and check.
pretty sure it snapshots
I swapped my ES/EV helm to a pure EV helm that I actually found in floor 1
the new helm also had HP
would be weirder if your honor changed midway whenever you changed gear, they will prolly disable stash on trial if this is a trend
my honor was like max -100 and instead of proportionately changing it, it just did my new hp -100.
probly not, mine keeps going up and down during the trials so it's constantly checking it i thinks
Even if they don't give you a Stash, you can still bring a swap in your inventory
oh right... 
How constantly? Like every room?
well we can do this already in PoE 1 since we get honor es
Might be worth bringing ES jewelery and maybe a helm or something
All I remember is that it is not working in an intutive way. The disproportionate honor change was probably due to the ES snapshot.
ig its not really an issue
yeah i started noticing after a trial complete my honor would be higher then drop
Interesting. I'm in the middle of a sekhema rn, I might try bringing some es gear when I re-enter
okay I must ask this now cause it happens several times
am I the only one who gets weird whispers and invites from random people?
not the usual spam bot, actual people who chat with you as if you know each other, they seem super confused
something weird with the whisper system maybe?
did you actually just notice it now?
what do u mean?
havent happen to me yet
I havent gotten a single rando whisper
shit
i mean you just notice it deswapn after entering maps
if its just me thats more of a sign that the problem is me
and i got a memento situation going
wdym?
you are whispering yourself from multiple accounts?
more like a beautiful mind situation then
nice 1 boss
:D
at act 2
Item rarity seems very strong. Maybe new players should invest early into it?
its pretty common people misclicked other people name in global chat, or maybe they traded withyou and still have your @name on their chat box
I just partied for the 2nd time with a friend who had high rarity stat and he dropped like 10 uniques in 3 T5 maps.
I really like that exalted drop rather early, it makes campaigning in trade way more comfortable if you can buy good shit
1 dps 1 drop granter is nice
got clear and loot
oh right
does more ppl means more loot in poe2? like how d2 works?
I think only currency drops and heard it was +100% per player.
Why can't i re-enter the portal back to trials of sekhema each time i went back town?
the portal is there but i just cant enter it
Also can you pause in multiplayer? I didnt realize and was checking inventory mid map and died.
the bow is 2H?
yes but can use quiver
I think you can only leave trials at end of floor (quest trial is only 1 floor)
Why can't i re-enter the portal back to trials of sekhema each time i went back town? the portal is there but i just cant enter it
when using quiver bow is still considered 2h right?
and 2h dmg bonuses will apply to it
yes thats correct
Ok fine I am going to give this lvl 70 sanctum one shot, if I fail, I am done w sanctum. Honor resistance > max honor? What about damge mods, I think I had 15% monster and 15% boss.
If it has the tag 2h, it's considered 2h
Er why did i die in Trials of sekhema through a spike from a floor impaling me despite my hp still max?
if you hold alt and hover over bow, it'll say it's a 2h weapon
your honor went to 0
Classic
holding alt and reading is op
🅱️roken
You can't expect players to read
I don't, that's why I have to explicitly state that it's op
You can have these elements pinned on your screen as well
if I made a clickbait tier list video saying that reading is the meta, then people might try it
Alt to inspect is the best button in the game
maybe maxroll build?
maybe
I'm amazed I haven't seen a poe2 youtuber making a video all about how good reading is
We just need some of the creators who do entry stuff like Ziz, Tri and Dreamcore to make those videos
Hi I have a question olé I just but the games and I wanted to know if there is a better classe for beginner (i never played poe) I hésitate between ranger Lightning, witchunter, or a mage
If someone can help me to choose
Lightning ranger is currently pretty good, I play Witchhunter grenades as well and Mage has multiple viable builds as well. Try all three throughout Acts 1 and 2 and if it doesn't click choose something different
found a greater essence in campaign lvl 61.. and died
Range is easy mode so as long as you avoid melee classes you'll be good
well rip
There are good and bad beginner builds for all the classes. Personally I'd recommend ZiggyD's mercenary build from Youtube. Also, tú hablas epañol?
Lignting witchhuber et ranger Lightning are beginner friendly ? Which one is the strongest 💪
No sry
Oh,I saw the "olé" and assumed lol
There is a mercenaries doing the same as Lightning ranger I wanted to know if its better ahah

all classes can use all skill and gear, so you can kinda mix and match based on the tree starting location and the ascendancy nodes
The right question would be, what do you want to play?
Lightning mercenarie or Lightning ranger i think but can’t try both with only 1 character
Can anyone help me kill Geneor (Asia Server)
Honestly all the options are beginner friendly. Currently only the Warrior/Mace is ROUGH
come play titan. its super fun
Actually i agree i play warrior till i am them fustrated
Whatever class i pick i can finish as a mage or ranger ?
Is there something that’s kind of more defensively minded rather than all out aggro wild style? I’m thinking some kind of chronomancer would fit the bill but I’m not sure.
the issue is titan require u to be ascended first to unlock so the only way is u have to suffer using warrir
titan ascendencies arent that crazy. i got mine at level 55
If you want to, yes. I would stick to the associated weapon type for now and worry about off class shenanigans later
you just gotta stay up to date with your weapon phys dps and itll be fine
the issue is the map i am in is not drop any of my loot mostly i saw was witch
yeah if youre ssf itll be harder. but i havent bought anything more expensive than 1exalt so far
Because I can’t choose between mercenarie lighting and ranger Lightning but the have both mage Off class so if I take a mage I can play both?
does anyone know the exact date of the stash tab sale?
youre just stacking life/strength and mana or hp on kill depending on if you go bloodmagic or not
also all the AoE nodes are in the warrior area so you hit everything on the screen
“Total noob here” I’m going for spark sorc, what are weapons I can use ? I have the wand but I really don’t know if it can inflict damage or just grabbing mana?
what I mean is that you can use bow attacks or spells on any class
I’m totally depending on spells
guys my game just suddenly stopped the audio and i cant hear nothing can someone help please?
yeah that happened to me. had to restart
the game or my pc?
game
If I buy a item level 70 item can I wear it if I'm only level 22
item level does not affect when you can wear it. it will have gear level requirements
The issue is what i feel the only way to sustain is to have high HP with Lifesteal it is easily
I'm trying to buy e folding dawn but there's no level req listed
I would like to ask if i farm at lower level map is there a Exp restriction (Example i am level 17 and map area is 15)
Oh okay
i feel that for me equipment 100% a issue
. Also when it says 89 percent increased armor, does that mean total armor or just armor from that gear piece
are you using mace strike?
no
there u go
idk the formula in poe2, but in poe1 you would have no xp penalty as long as the zone level was within [3 + ((yourlevel/16)floored)] of your own level
if its on armor then its for that armor piece
mace strike + rage + fire infusion. try it
i recall also play POE 1 equipment drop rate was even better at least i still get a few marundar / warrior equipment
@trail matrix oh so it doesn't multiply my total characters armor
there are no such things as "marauder/warrior equipment" in either game
all classes can use all gear and skills
also increased is additive not multiplicative
no but global modifiers work off the increased value
how do i know if i shock enemies?
little shock icon shows up under them and says 20% showing the increase in damage
like under their icon at the top of the screen
no visual changes?
I think they get electricity flowing through them visually
So plzz after this I stop should I play witchunter Lightning or deadeye Lightning both looks same Oo
i recall there was restriction like if a weapon require like 60 str and 40 dex u need to meet its requirement through either passive tree or equipments
anyone interested to help with an area? act 3, molten vault. it's just a DPS check and I really don't want to respec just to do this
HEY THERE, IM playing barbarian titan build, what venom draught should i take?
whatever you think you need the most
they're all relatively unimpactful
they're all worth ~2-3 small passive points on the tree
can anyone just kill the hyena boss on hardcore for me? xD
whatre the options?
i think theres one that';s for mana regen?
or is that a different thing
25% increased stun threeshold
-25 % increased mana regeneration
-30 % increased elemental aligment treeshold
is there chaos dmg that crit?
im using bloodmagic so i went stun iirc.
but mana regen should be best
the other two are on the passive tree in the warrior area
fyi in future use "@DM for discord Help"
someone have a Polcikeln sapphire ring?
if you're asking for a trade/handout, that's not permitted on this server, sorry
oké i didnt know, sorry for that
Where do i go to report bugs? Utzaal (act3) is unplayable. Was just melting through everytthing but in Utzaal, everything oneshoits me
0hmm, blood magic? iom using giant's blood
what to do now in act 3:
anyone knows which stats gems provide life on hit other then Life draim
go to chimeral and beat the boss there
ive already beaten chimera boss
right in his arena is the next area door
the giant dragon right?
does charge staff shock enemies with tempest flurry?
yeah ive beaten it and
yeah in his arena is the door to the next area
havent seen it, so i have to beat him again?
no i dont
I don't know if this is the right place to ask but is there a good program that works with poe2 that limits cpu usage?, since i currently have the known problem of having my game freeze my entire pc and I heard that that would atleast allow me to close the game
i wanna say it should just let u in next time but i dont know for sure
bes worked for me but i dont know how safe it is
are u using the version from 2022?, thought that maybe this was too outdated but ill look into it
what levels recommended before doing trial of chaos, your second ascendancy
you can search for poe2 BES CPU Limiter and decide for yourself
ok ty
yes but any class can get the str/dex. You pick what attr you want on the tree.
not a bug, your character is probably just udnergeared/geared wrong
i did it very late and one shot the boss.
is utzaal where mobs do chaos damage
Quite fun, when you have 1400 life. But you are constantly just sitting around 900 life. Than i update to 1700 life. ANd now i am constantly sitting around 1200 life 
act 1 cruel is where i would do it next time
What happened to my orb of storms? It's greyed out and information has disappeared. I can't use it anymore.
trial of chaos was way less annoying than sekhema
oh wait I was low on dex, never mind
do u meet its requirements
lol
what level is very late
60
ic ic
Cause Im also a warrior so I'd prob have to do it late anyways
all u get is ascendancy points right
yeah and some mid loot
Something also changed and I had a support gem socketed that it no longer accepts; unleash with cold snap
Is it possible to beat the first trial at lvl 25? Monk Ice build..
I guess ggg are changing stuff up
is there some chat to buy items?
usually if you cant do the spell either the level reqs or the spirit reqs are missing
trade site, and trade chat in game ?
yeah it might take you a few tries to get a good layout if you're undergeared tho
i mean, besides this site, is very unstable
unstable? it does log people out every 20 minutes due to bots
hrm maybe level reqs?
it greyed out the support gem but kept working
site is just fine, unless overloaded XD
then when I removed the support gem I couldn't put it back in
most of items they put cheap price and didn't sell, just wait for many whispers
why my skill have so low dps ?
It's taking me long to killng the earthbraker with not so much honor to start.. Probably gonna level some more =[
act 1 act 3 act3cruel
ok ty
levels are very unimpactful compared to gear. You're probably in sore need of some upgrades, especially your weapon by the sound of it
Should end up with 100 total
what class?
Thinking of getting skills from elementalist as I'm only pure ice skill monk.
Monk Ice build skills only.
is your staff up to date
all classes can use all skills, so whatever you think would help
and yeah, your staff is a massive part of your damage
i thought ice strike monk was really good?
Have you seen reddit? People with so much health and ES, res, they still get oneshotted. I was doing fine everyhwere on my monk, until i went into Utzaal. Just get oneshotted and bodyblocked. It's rediculous and needs looked after
post your gear and stats
Actually i agree with this statement my friend who bought this game only comment what u say in steam
monk should not be in touching distance of mobs
I need advice I'm lvl 9 sorcerer where should I farm for armor and weapons
Merry Christmas from NZ 🫡
do you mean "builds using quarterstaff skills"? because monk can use any skill/weapon
I went through all of campaign just fine
There were no difficulty spikes anywhere
if you have empty slots, just put it whatever gives you life.
831 life, 959 ES, 66 Fire Res, 75 cold res, 41 light res, 7 chaos res
It's the DPS for a single proj, which is a tiny fraction of the damage you do
damn you all res capped in act 3 normal?
how tf are you almost all res capped in act 3 no ng+
this has to be cap
But still can't get through Utzaal
The more the cold damage the faster the build freeze build up right?
whats your armor and evasion though
i think that explains it 💀
9% evasion?
319 ev, 22 armour
that seems low
I tried to be above 30 or 40% thought the campaign. 50%+ by act 2 cruel
most of the damage is physical pretty sure
You can buy quite good stuff for 1 ex these days
yea pretty much all of the mobs in utzaal deal phys
that's a belt
the issue is i am also facing this issue but the game does not want to give us better gear (I saw saw a rare mace but in the end it was for wtch)
i meant chestplate
check the vendors and gamblers
Yeah get an evasion base
ur wearing the wrong armor set
yall use any app to trade?
poe2 has a website for trade
poe2 website
Are you using transmutes and augs, are you checking the vendor, etc
But i need ES (and EV) for
any app like on poe 1 to scan item prices ingame?
as a monk you don't need spirit
Are you grabbing good 1 mod Blues to Aug and regal
what do u need spirit for?
Yes ..... Grab an ev base that's what I said
Also that's more of a late game thing
i did check vendors or not good the only time i saw was there was a good mace but no enough gold when i farm enough gold then it disappear
you should have 60 spirit already. is that not enough?
lead me through grace and protect me from harm (I think that's what is at the end of that branch) is def late game yeah
The issue is i not sure whether my character is curse keep getting not good items
is "sidekick" poe trader safeto use?
99% it's because your lack of experience means you can't tell what's good
(this is not a bad thing just means you're new)
what does ssf mean?
solo self found. means you cant trade or play coop
uhh, do I just leave the weapon support gem empty? or is there a go to support gem for them? playing flurry monk
i played other MMORPG game i do not find any issue suffering in the of gear drop rate
Idk the exact names but I run the 25% damage modifiers for my ice strike (since I'm frost monk)
not exactly sure what flurry monk is
this isn't a mmorpg though
it's the lightning variant of the ice strike, I forgot the skill name xD.
just the 25% dmg mod? does it affect the ice strike dmg?
honestly youd be better off playing a ranged character and using that to level/gear your warrior through gold/exalts
Following this guide: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/don-cold-monk
Which uses Elemental Invocation (60 spirit) and Herald of Ice (with all gems == 75)
I played Diablo 3 and Last Epoch so far they are better games and i played as a meele character do not have any issues
the Increased phys damage on this one is a miss?
Which is?
different ways to play monk.. im level 80, 204 spirit using 5 simultanous buffs (combat frenzy, herald of ice, grim feast, ghost dance, wind dancer)
well clearly, if it's not working out as intended then i'm sure you've gotten the message
it does not work
yep, does nothing
I can't open the game cus hotel wifi doo doo but there's an 25% elemental damage one, there's a 25% dmg for attacks one I think, I run cruscendo, and I have something else I forgot
I think attack speed?
he's still in very very early game though thats the thing
early game monk I think you can just focus on herald of ice for damage + ghost dance for evasion
which is just 60 if you avoid the spirit cost support gems
the best early game monk build is ice strike with herald of ice by far
Hhhmmmm
whats the thing that gives you increased evasion in stages
wait no it's wind dancer that stacks evasion
ghost dance is es granted on hit I think?
anyone want this cold wand?
Ok so switch to EV chest (or EV+ES?)
free
if i corrupt an item to get a fourth slot, to get that fifth slot would i need a greater or perfect jewellers orb? and what are the chances to get that fourth slot
u cant
it's effective of course, but utzaal fucks that build so hard cause of low armor and ev
once corrupted u cannt do anything to it anymore
?
if it's corrupted then it can't be changed further
why cant i do this?
is there any support gems that increase lifesteal as i know weapon's gear u can obtain it
search "leech"when you cut a spirit support gem
there is not a boss or zone in the campaign that does anything to frost monk.. i obliterated everything
this ain't LoL, we leech life, we don't steal it
it's phys damage and he's also in act 3 no ng+
well if they're new, they can still get wiped quickly if they're not careful
wym
anything corrupted can't be changed further
?
I think it's doable but I'm just having a hard time taking less damage/honor. Especially vs AOE mobs or the spider and snake. =[
once corrupted the item cannot be edited anymore
u cant jewel it again
honor resistance for that is dope
did you use the items that give honor resistance?
you can get extra honor and less honor damage
I do have a spirit gem let me check
support, not spirit, sorry
oh, not the quarterstaff slot?
support T2
guys is lightning or fire damage eventually 1 shoot characters?
for frost or lightning, you use ice strike/the lightning equivalent
i'd suggest you to do runs that is purely about gathering good relics first then do your ascendancy
this one which level uncut gem
both can do that if your resists are low enough
what does honor do in the trials thing? I already completed it once for ascendancy but i can't seem to access the place again anymore
Probably asking for one shot build
tier 2. but you can see all gems if you cut one. higher tiers are greyed out
if you hit 0 honour, you fail
tiny normal monster will be the one killing you
if you take any damage, you lose honour
there's honor and water thing
ah
press R3 and read about honor at the bottom of your screen
any build can 1 shot if u get perfect gear i guess
sacred water can help you buy buffs and relics from the merchant
actually I think it's the only way you can buy stuff from them
@midnight remnant
how can I get access again after completing witch hunter class change?
check merch for any good relic
you need a token
u need the next one at act 3
My plan for now gonna skip this Ascent to Power and continue on my Act 2 quests.
why i cant enter aggorate ?
that should work
if it helps, I did my first ascendancy trial at act 2 cruel I think lol
idk what put on free rune slots after all resist cap +1% resist limit good?
are they in cruel?
depends on what you need
don' thave to worry too much about them but they are definitely handy
is cruel last act yes they are in cruel
1% max res is basically 4% less damage taken of that element if you go from 75% to 76%
which is pretty nice
What is "gain guard"
good but what more danger fire or lightning
So the tooltip for projectiles says that any one target will only be hit by one projectile from a given skill/spell... Is that true? And does that include stuff like spell echo/cascade?
could you leave party, go to aggorat then rejoin party?
that's like asking what's faster, a car or a truck
depends on how you build it or what engine/rig it has
i dont even see ppls go in here
in the reward room of trials of sek. If I ported back town due to item capacity reached. Why cant i come teleport back in to the reward room again?

anyway i feel lightning love 1 shot my ranger more than fire
i relogin and join different party and still cant go in
because you can only go back to town using the "return to town" button at the trial map between rooms (if you want to go back)
Next time just stash everything. There's one in the reward room!
can you go in solo?
then play lightning
no
huh
we only get one token for the trial until act 3?
The additional spirit ASC node
no port here
djinn tokens drop at random from mobs
Oh I should use the rewards room portal? I just click teleport to town button
is there a particular map in act 1 that drops uncut gems (Level 2)
no
no
but normal act 3 has a quest that give u 1
oof not sure then. might have to rerun the area
honour
trial of skh
but act 3 give u the other one
No I'm saying to stash your loot in the rewards room. There's a stash there
trial of chaos is that one
i did lol
where can we get uncut support gems lv2 and 3 in act I and II?
so quest wise u can get till 4 asc point
yeah mb
level 3 is a while into cruel I think
They start dropping act 2 cruel
wtf. probably gonna have to ask their support
and it's a one use
level 2 gems are like act 3 normal?
oh I mean the support gem
cruel?
yikes
ah
do we get to change game setting difficulty?
lvl 3 is cruel
any other have any ides what can be wrong ?
u dont
after acts 1-3 normal, you do them again but harder
Oh crap I musta missed it. Thanks for the tip
ah ok
when you reran the area did u beat the boss again?
yes
ask your friend to make new instance
or wait no
then u tp to them
ok sounds good
if u didnt then ure still in the old instance
just wait till you have to do the 3 trial version 
you're drowning in loot
will try agein
stash comes in clutch
let me CARRY MY STASH WITH ME

Can anyone help me with act 2 final boss?
poison charm
#2┃looking-for-group @bleak plaza @junior cave
hmm can't decide if frost wall is a good idea at this stage or not
for what
have u seen the frostwall fireball combo
at this stage a cold/freeze build at lv35
if i wasnt scared of it burning down my pc, id try it
frost wall as frost monk is kinda fun
does the frost wall do dmg when it goes down?
yeah explodes
I mean if you feel you want the defensive capability then go for it
About to start maps for the first time is there anything I should know
yeah it explodes
ah okay well that's good then
if you die, the map is done
yea alot. it even feels like its the highest dps cold skill
how much harder is t1 maps compared to act 3 cruel
you need res now cause monsters gain % extra damage as elemental a lot
thanks all, will play with said frost wall then
also yes do have res maxed if you can
does fire res work for burning ground
I think I'm at 75/70/68/46? Still trying to plan how to fit in chaos res better
i went in with negative 3 all res and died. fun times
now i have to regear to get some res
also maps, you want modifiers on them. Yes they make the mobs harder but they drop better loot
also higher tier maps tend to have higher waystone drop chances
Is there something that’s kind of more defensively minded rather than all out aggro wild style? I’m thinking some kind of chronomancer would fit the bill but I’m not sure.
I think I have that one
Thnx @craggy gyro and @rigid bridge and other for tips on gear for Utzaal. Seems a lot better now with only a little bit improvement
I also have the chest piece where I heal based ond amage healed
evasion go up. survivability go up
I assume waystones have inherent invisible +rarity that increases with tier? or is that not true?
What are the important skill and support progression for crossbow skills during acts?
How good is this quiver? Im level 28. Is the 35% damage good?
crossbow is machine gun / grenade spam no?
Does this fire -> chaos damage alteration apply to the ignites from my minions, from the effect from my infernalist hellhound??
are there any modifiers to do with minions that i can get on my boots or gloves?
do I do damage to my own frost wall?
I think at this point you should just go play and later focus on evasion/es gear and maybe some talents
I have quite a few talent points into evasion and/or es on my passive tree but I think early on you lean more damage
I would get some lightning res though
pretty sure act 3 has some lightning there and there, especially on bosses iirc
I don't believe so but there's a support gem that makes them weaker if you want the wall to die faster iirc
my items arent showing up with the name tags and only show when i hover my mouse over them so im losing out on picking stuff up i dont see is there a way to show full where every item is
you can hold alt
Hi, can friends of mine join to the boss in sekhema ? or does they have to join me on the way ?
or does poeple boost themselves in the chaos trial ?
press Z
tyty
wait what does Z do
does it toggle some visibility permanence setting or smth?
changes how loot is shown
oh interesting
i play with loot off and loot filter and just alt to check once in a while
too much crap on screen
that's insane to me. I wonder how much currency you've missed
loot filter shows the currency
are there any modifiers to do with minions that i can get on my boots or gloves?
There are some unique gear
how do i obtain tempest flurry
Is there an auto open chest node on the tree?
monk section, for skills
how does raging spirit damage scaling work? it seems to scale from phys damage??? is it a trap choice if you use staves/wands/scepters since they dont have any phys damage on them?
lvl 5 spirit gem, quarterstaff area
I believe lvl12
how do i check how much dex and int i have?
ty
and how does it go up? just by levelling?
