[plush charm]

24 characters seem insane to do in 1 season xd

[azure lava]

It's not 24 per season

It's 24 total over all the leagues

[boreal gulch]

anyone help? i just got demon form and every time i try to cast it shifts out

[brisk yew]

the character you choose changes where you start on the passive tree, and affects the ascendancy you can pick (like a job advancement)

[azure lava]

Do you have chaos inoculation?

[night pike]

i just spelt my char name wrong, time to restart...\

[boreal gulch]

no i dont have CI

[sour pebble]

are you casting a spell that is coming from a weapon?

[boreal gulch]

no just doing ED/Cont

[azure lava]

Do you shift out prematurely even if you press nothing?

[boreal gulch]

nope

[azure lava]

Try to see what ability or button shifts you out

[boreal gulch]

and when i tried it in the trial it was working got a bunch of stacks and depleted my life

every spell i cast, ed/cont/bonewall

[azure lava]

Have you tried relogging?

[sour pebble]

does your weapon or shield have int on it?

[boreal gulch]

yes before i came here to cry 😦

[sour pebble]

i think i know what it is

i found a bug report

[boreal gulch]

my offhand has 5 int

[sour pebble]

i bet u have a stat on your weapon or shield

ahhaha

okay so what is happening is

demon form disables your weapons

which is dropping you below the int requirement of a spell

[boreal gulch]

it doesnt show at stat reqs

[sour pebble]

and when you cast that spell is switching you to your weapon set

since it needs the int

xD

[idle fern]

almost killed the boss its not too hard should have it done soon thanks to everyone helpin with my gear

[sour pebble]

so get 5 more int and try

i bet it will fix it

[azure lava]

What's your int and what int is required for ED/contagion?

[boreal gulch]

oh when it adds 4 levels it jacks up the int req of the spell.. thats grrrr

[silent canyon]

Hey guys how can I change my ascendancy. I think I chose the wrong one. Not having fun with it.

[inland sentinel]

It’s every 5 (stat) you can use X gem

[atomic hull]

@azure lava CONFIRMED

[azure lava]

Have to make a new character. Ascendancy class choices cannot be undone

[atomic hull]

not possible

[inland sentinel]

And if you don’t meet the requirements for gem upgrade, you need another source of int

[blissful notch]

Wich subclass of ranger is better?

[boreal gulch]

man that really sucks, was hoping to be able to use this as first ascendency but maybe ill just run the dog for now

[azure lava]

Depends on your build

[atomic hull]

he's tank stats

[silent canyon]

Ah shit. Any way I can fast track a new mercenary?

[blissful notch]

i liking poison , but doesnt look too god at late game as lightning

[sour pebble]

can't u just cut a lower level of the gems?

[inland sentinel]

Redo what you did before

How did you get to your current level

[balmy epoch]

hi im playing witch, my mana drain isnt casting?

[azure lava]

Not really. Try to transfer over as much gear as you can and use what you learned

[boreal gulch]

i can but that kinda defeats the purpose of the demon form.. but i can try

[blissful notch]

im really lost at this point

[inland sentinel]

Are you hitting?

[balmy epoch]

i have my weapon equipped and it says it gives skill mana drain level 2 and i put the skill in my bar but it doesnt work when i use it

[azure lava]

You have mana drain on your hotbar, I presume, so what happens when you press it?

[balmy epoch]

yes

nothing

[azure lava]

Can you screenshot the skill description from your weapon?

[sour pebble]

i think you have to be hovering over a mob right?

its not a projectile

[azure lava]

I think so, yeah

[grizzled adder]

how much spirit should i have in act 5 (act 2 cruel)?

[azure lava]

Wanted to be sure

[sour pebble]

yeah no proj tag

are you hovering over an enemy while casting it?

[azure lava]

At least 60, if you've gotten all the spirit from side objectives

[vivid cedar]

dang this looks nice

[inland sentinel]

So if by using mana drain it drains a monster of mana through leeching, but you need to hit something to leech

[balmy epoch]

gonna try restarting ig

[lapis wyvern]

Does anyone know what the trading website is called

[inland sentinel]

Poe2.sale

[opaque stone]

Isnt it pathofexile.com/trade2?

[inland sentinel]

Same thing

It’ll lead you there

[opaque stone]

O

[inland sentinel]

I just choose to use shortened urls

[sour pebble]

works fine me. you just have to have your mouse cursor hovering over a mob when casting. it's a targeted spell, not a projectile.

[lone marsh]

is it viable to build a chaos witch that uses this and just summons a bunch of warriors/reavers to increase chaos dmg? Im on a lv35 hardcore infernalist atm

[indigo ridge]

I wanna boost my buddy in the 4th ascension djinn. How can I make him get the ascension without him dying to the boss?

[swift vessel]

guys I have a question, im on cruel difficulty, am I correct in assuming that most defense in the game is just going to obe from have high hp and energy shield + focusing your armor and resistances to correlate to the enemies attack types instead of trying to full send in 1 defensive stat?

[night pike]

why am i struggling so much biera

[sour pebble]

what is your ascendancy

[inland sentinel]

Energy shield is quite strong later but it depends on your build

[sour pebble]

rangers tend to stack evasion as their only defensive layer pretty much

meanwhile warriors have several defensive layers, like max resistance, armour, block

[haughty niche]

Armour doesnt do much

[swift vessel]

invoker monk, im doing an ice strike build, im currently in the hunting ground on act 1 cruel

[inland sentinel]

Bussers tend to just do the fight by themselves, the person getting carried is fine just standing slightly outside. If they’re participating in the fight you generally just need to have him dodge but they should just not go in while you’re fighting.

[sour pebble]

invoker monks tend to be ES + Evasion builds

[vague bluff]

What are the class variants?

[sour pebble]

often with CI

[inland sentinel]

They can also just portal to you just as you’re about to kill the boss

[sour pebble]

but for campaign you don't go CI

[inland sentinel]

Right now there’s 6 base classes

[vivid cedar]

do u perhaps know main diffrence between invoker and evil monk?

[inland sentinel]

In full release each one is supposed to have an alternate variant

And 3 ascendancies per class

[dusty sedge]

Quick question - when disenchatning blues, does identification affect the transmute shard yield?

[rain sandal]

hi guys is there a reason for mt combat frenzy to jot stack up any charges at all or am i doing smth wrong

[vivid cedar]

what about rn?

[inland sentinel]

6 and 2 ascendancies per class

[swift vessel]

from what ive noticed, invoker is focused around meditation which increase shield regen rate by 62%, and unobund avatar which gives 40% elemental dmg bonus after inflicting an X amount of elemental ailment

[vivid cedar]

a lot of elemental dmg o=

[swift vessel]

so I should go Energy Shield + Evasion and have difference armor piece depending on what element im fighting? for invoker monk that is

[vague bluff]

ohh, so we'll see some of the PoE1 classes return?

[sour pebble]

no you should have capped resistances

[civic locust]

you can do wield 2 1h maces with "+4 level to melee skills" to get +8 level right?

[vivid cedar]

i already went evil monk now im on act 2 for invoker

[inland sentinel]

Only thing we are missing are huntress, Druid, duelist, shadow/assassin, and templar

And marauder

[sour pebble]

basically on gear in campaign for invoker you want life, resistances, evasion, and energy shield for your defenses

[civic locust]

all returning except the 7th one, the muilticlass one whos name I cant remmber

[vivid cedar]

cant wait on shadow 😄

[civic locust]

6 old classes 6 new

[vague bluff]

Scion i wanna say?

[civic locust]

yes, ty

[inland sentinel]

Scion is not coming for Poe 2

[dreamy torrent]

is there any reason why 50 people instantly dm'd me for this ring after i put it up for 1 ex

[vague bluff]

the one who was in the middle of the grid or something

[dreamy torrent]

i dont see why its any good

[inland sentinel]

Rarity stacking and also headhunter

[wheat prism]

Hi, then how are we supposed to get our 5th and 6th ascendancy points?

[civic locust]

DONT LOL

[sour pebble]

it's the only source of mana per enemy hit in the game which is necessary for a deadeye overpowered combo

[civic locust]

that thing is worth A LOT

[rain sandal]

Can someone help me i want to use flicker strike so in order to gain charges i have opted for resonance for combat frenzy however even after fighting i gain 0 charges am i doing smth wrong

[spice musk]

does anyone know what happens when my skeleton count reaches four digits?

[opaque stone]

Cuz its worth like a div

[dreamy torrent]

o

[opaque stone]

Or more i forget

[inland sentinel]

Magic find is really op right now

[opaque stone]

Ele bow builds want it for mana sustain

[sour pebble]

it's nothing to with the MF

[civic locust]

@dreamy torrent 2nd cheapest is 3 divine orbs which is like, 200 ex I think or something?

[sour pebble]

it's entirely about the mana per enemy hit mod

[opaque stone]

180

[sour pebble]

that's the only reason it has any value

[opaque stone]

Actually prices went up iirc so like 210

[dreamy torrent]

hahaha i randomly rolled it with my first chance orb

[lunar tangle]

no synergy?

[civic locust]

incredible luck lol

[lunar tangle]

says shield is raised

[strong crown]

I'm inflicting Cold Exposure on-hit, does it shows on the boss icons here?

[opaque stone]

Its the fourth debuff

[sour pebble]

here is the deadeye combo btw: https://www.twitch.tv/fubgun/clip/KitschyObservantKumquatWholeWheat-mrgxhr7uFss0GKpL

spoilers warning though

[spice musk]

is it normal for an endless amount of skeletons to ruin your game performance?

[sour pebble]

dont look if dont want boss spoiler 😄

[dreamy torrent]

lol i was trying to roll for the everlasting gaze

[opaque stone]

I wish it was but also wtf

[opaque stone]

On an emerald ring?

[strong crown]

really it looks like armor or something

[opaque stone]

Chill, shock, i think pin? and cold exposure

[spice musk]

please dont laugh at my genuine necromancy struggles

[swift vessel]

where does the flat energy shield mainly come from? before any %

[sour pebble]

gear

[opaque stone]

Gear

[dreamy torrent]

ngl i didnt think it through till after i clicked it

[chilly harbor]

are any of those pledges worth it

or should i just go on my way

[swift vessel]

all or just the best mainly

[opaque stone]

Probably not

[opaque stone]

Any gear that needs INT has ES

[abstract lance]

what's the difference between ignite and fire exposure?

[opaque stone]

Ignite is a damage over time. Fire Exposure lowers their fire resistance

[swift vessel]

ok thx

[abstract lance]

ah right right, needed to keep reading haha thank you

[night pike]

can i drop things in my inv?

[storm patio]

how do I know how much crit I have

[sour pebble]

check the skill stats

[spice musk]

ok no, this is going too far

[civic locust]

me: "I wonder what the most energy shield on any item on the market is right now"
me; *is immediately blown away*

what a roll

[civic locust]

those things that you can combine 3 of for notables, im guessing thats an endgame-only thing that I cant access yet?

[storm patio]

ty

[vivid cedar]

on what should i use keys on tht i got from trial?

got 1 gold somehow

[sour pebble]

time lost chests are teh best but they're rare

[craggy gyro]

if i put a precursor tablet into a tower, will it change the already completed maps?

or do they stay completed

[vivid cedar]

got gold helmet and gold medium relic

[vivid cedar]

dang how u got soo many o=

[vivid cedar]

i dont see helmet

[sour pebble]

i think they left off the obvious ones

[vivid cedar]

ah ok xD

[copper pawn]

getting the buffer underflow error. Forum for this issue goes back to the 6th... Has there been any update for this?

[chilly harbor]

does that damage counts towards honor?

and itake it only on fountain of youth?

[sour pebble]

hits honor and you take it only once and immediately on clicking that

[chilly harbor]

so it's my undersanding that

hmm what is a maraketh shrine again?

[sour pebble]

it's the ones that restore honor

[vivid cedar]

dang idk how im getting soo many keys now 😄

[chilly harbor]

the middle choice seems hella nice

if i don't take any boons after

[dreamy torrent]

ty for your advice, I just sold it

tbh i would've sold it for 1 ex if i didnt come here 💀

[vivid cedar]

wht are boons?

[chilly harbor]

does the glass shard apply before ro after i get 3 boons

[civic locust]

grats on da money

[chilly harbor]

boons are things like 50% more defense or traps deal half dmg or 25% maximum honor

[civic locust]

@dreamy torrent always good to check POE2 tradesite before selling a unique, as a lot of em can have certain unique effects that certain builds NEED to work

[chilly harbor]

or next merchant shop buy is free

[sour pebble]

glass shards will be after

it'll work how u want it to

[chilly harbor]

so i probably should take it and avoid boons for now right?

i'm on the last floor(second)

[sour pebble]

depends where you are in the run

yes if you're on your last floor it seem sgood

especially if u dont see a merchant ahead

or if ur low on sacred water

[chilly harbor]

the deed is done

i actually lose my waters on floor completion

and my merchant offer half theo ffer

those are my current afflictions

got 15% less monster speed 30% increased relic effect restore 148 honor on entering boss room

nice indeed

[vivid cedar]

is merchant good pick or rather pick keys?

[sour pebble]

merchant is maybe the most powerful floor in trial of sekhemas

[vivid cedar]

oh wow

where is he?

[maiden finch]

hi, how i can make 5 gem slots in PC? i have 3 right now

[sour pebble]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Gem_socket

4 sockets at level 65, 5 sockets at level 90

[sour pebble]

he's a red hood icon on trial map

[maiden finch]

oh, didn't know that. yhamk you

[sour pebble]

well it's a she 😄

[dusty sedge]

Should I always disenchant stuff instead of selling for gold?

Still early game

[sour pebble]

it's the barbara npc or w/e

[opaque stone]

Balbala

[chilly harbor]

trial 2 seems to be hella easy

i just hope it's as easy as trial 3

[vivid cedar]

hmm didnt get it

[chilly harbor]

the actual trial i'm aiming for after

[sour pebble]

you always get a merchant at end of a floor

[chilly harbor]

given i have the shard

[sour pebble]

but also can find it in a room in middle of a floor

[chilly harbor]

should i go for merchant

or ignore it

[sour pebble]

probably ignore

[thin jackal]

where do i see all my stats like crit chance

crit damage, all those goodies

[feral stratus]

whats better for survivability between time of need and scavenged plating?

[gleaming lark]

i just got to act 1 cruel anyone wanna progress together

[thin jackal]

thanks

[civic locust]

do two 1-hand weapons with +4 melee skill level each give +8 melee skill level?

[sour pebble]

yep

[gentle flume]

can anyone help me through spires of deshar cruel?

[civic locust]

niiiice ty

maybe my next char will be a dual wield char

even if its silly to do so when theres only one 1h type in the whole game so far

[vivid cedar]

i bet shadow

[civic locust]

if they were in the game

my mains were Duelest and Templar

excited to get them in later

[craggy gyro]

when do they comme out?

[civic locust]

no clue yet

we're sitll missing a LOT

half the classes/weapon types and 24 of the 36 ascendencies

[vivid cedar]

hopefully before full release but probably not :/

[civic locust]

i think next is Druid+Huntress?

so the first Str+Int class

im guessing huntress will use Spears

[chilly harbor]

well guess i couldn't run from merchant it appeared

[frail hare]

Why does Infernalist suck so hard? Why does it feel like you have to build against your own ascendancy?

[silk apex]

trial of chaos is ridiculous

[feral stratus]

wut, isnt it like, in the top 4

[chilly harbor]

so here's the deal

[vivid cedar]

whats thing called*that increases slot for skills?

[chilly harbor]

with the merchant i can get a minor afliction first

and still buy a 50% more damage boon

worth it?

can i purchase more than 1 boon in merchant? big question

[opaque stone]

Because all but one of it's nodes has trade offs that you need to account for before ascending

[sour pebble]

u can purchase more than 1

[opaque stone]

Most of them are manageable though

Just take hellhound first

[chilly harbor]

u sure?

[sour pebble]

yes

as long as u have enough sacred water

[chilly harbor]

ok i will take the minor affliction hit

what

the glass shard wasn't consumed

i recovered honor

[sour pebble]

the first choice that heals honor isn't a boon

[chilly harbor]

oh ic

them i guess i will ignore merchant now them

[dense token]

is archmage big enough of a damage boost that i should lose skill levels in spark to make it work?

[chilly harbor]

only enough for 1 boon that will transform into shard

at least the honor was worth it

[dense token]

i absolutely cannot fathom spending 102 mana right now and i'm not currently using mind over matter

[sour pebble]

u can just run inspiration on spark if mana is too tight

[dense token]

so archmage is that big of a deal, huh

[sour pebble]

it's a lot of damage

you have arcane surge nodes, right?

both of them?

[dense token]

yep

[chilly harbor]

i supposed it's not called ArchMage for nothing

[dense token]

well, i initially took strike twice over force of will

should i just go with force of will now that i've got archmage?

i've got constant gale, for certain

so i can have constant arcane surge

[ember lion]

what do to with extra skill cut gems?

[dense token]

stash them for alts

give them to friends

buy a gem tab and horde like a maniac (my personal choice)

[unique orbit]

Archmage is busted atm

[chilly harbor]

give it to friends if you have them, they are not worth that much(maybe the endgame are)

save a bit for alts if you plan too, pretty convenient

[sour pebble]

yes u want force of will

it's important

[unreal shoal]

how does reforging work?

[craggy gyro]

piercing shot anoint is only 50%, how do i get 100% without the pierce gem

for spark stormweaver

[dense token]

should i just wait until third ascendancy points or swap out now in lieu of the shock node?

[sour pebble]

swap now

shock node not even that good tbh

[slender crystal]

when someone says there doing maps what does that mean? sorry im new to this game

[solar gate]

Any help with executioner?

[slender crystal]

ign?

[sour pebble]

it's the endgame gameplay loop

[solar gate]

Ign? Sry

[slender crystal]

in game name

[sour pebble]

this is a map

it opens up portals u go into

[slender crystal]

ty

[sour pebble]

and it's a zone where u kill mobs

[dense token]

yep, after you beat current campaign once, you'll go to cruel difficulty

it's a placeholder for the full campaign

once you clear it again in cruel, you'll go to the atlas, wherein you use said maps

[solar gate]

KrispyMonkey

[chilly harbor]

ok second trial done with terracota warriors

now it's the real deal

[delicate quest]

Help me for my RANGER build please............................. 😕

[sour pebble]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vR35NJkrhF1Zf9SZZOPlsdpqbTibL2AqOiZosya0NSjEN5A1Dx8a_MeQox9VDLQw3kB0ibZCNb_e6VJ/pubhtml

[chilly harbor]

is it possible to do a 70 trial at lvl 67?

[delicate quest]

Thank you

[unreal shoal]

any tips for doryanis laser attack? the spinning one

[sour pebble]

stand close to the boss

there's a long animation to telegraph that he's about to do it

so get behind the boss

and then u spin around him

[quiet relic]

Anyone familiar with Dustbloom studded vest? What does fragile regrowth mean? (Is this used on any build or certain skills?)

[sour pebble]

nah, just does the stuff the unique says

[haughty niche]

The orange text under uniques is just lore/flavour text

[unreal shoal]

can you still do the second asendent trial after going to cruel or no?

[sour pebble]

yep

[unreal shoal]

how do you go back?

[quiet relic]

I'm just not sure if the fragile regrowth was a certain skill and wouldn't do nothing for my build

[sour pebble]

waypoint

[golden island]

What does lighting all the effigies do in the Azak Bog?

[unreal shoal]

oh really? thats neat

[sour pebble]

across the top there is act tabs

of waypoint UI

and temple of chaos has its own special button on the right side

[unreal shoal]

can i go back to early acts after i go into cruel or no?

[sour pebble]

yes

[unreal shoal]

what does cruel do anyway?

[sour pebble]

i think it just scales up monster health and damage

[haughty niche]

Its just the first 3 acts, again, but with scaled monster life/etc.
Its temporary until they finish acts 4-6

[unreal shoal]

do you get higher level gear?

[haughty niche]

Yeah

[fleet sleet]

For first playthrough what level are people usually when they enter act 3?

[zealous osprey]

35ish ig

[haughty niche]

Check area level

[unreal shoal]

i manged to beat doryani by teleporting behind the laser attack with the monk chaos punch

[sour pebble]

they'll be around the level of the monster level of zones

[fleet sleet]

oh okies thank you!

[sour pebble]

top right of ur screen

[fleet sleet]

oh okies ty all! 😄 Happy Holidays!

[vivid cedar]

nah poison is too op D:

nah this half snake mofos stun u as well 😄

[slender crystal]

whats better in yalls opinion, merc or ranger?

[vivid cedar]

i like merc more

how good is rebith rune?

[soft dune]

Does +% increase damage of two handed weapon, like crossbow, increase grenade damage

[burnt junco]

it's not

[sour pebble]

yes, because grenades are attacks and attacks use weapon damage

[vivid cedar]

what about vision? im playing monk

[void steppe]

We are a game dating chat server. Interested friends can add me. I will invite you to join the server

[burnt junco]

what's the gear piece

but yeah vision is def going to be bad in most cases

[vivid cedar]

was asking in general

got item tht can make any piece equipable

[light seal]

is there literally any case that vision is good in poe2?

[burnt junco]

none that I'm aware of but didn't want to say in case there's some weird accuracy stacking tech idk

[vivid cedar]

middle one as monk right?

30 increased elemental ailemnt

[lean mulch]

how does the sisters of garukhan work in deshar?

[civic rose]

hi, when a map's main objectives are cleared, should I proceed to the next map or it's better to fully explore?

[sour pebble]

usually better to go next map unless you're really struggling to sustain maps

#2┃after-acts-help

[vocal cave]

hello, question, does dexterity affect grenades

like, isnt dex just for accuracy? like can grenades miss lol

[frosty badger]

Whats the best venom draught choice for gemling legionnaire merc? Ive just been making my own build. Use frost wall and a lot of grenades. New to poe. Not sure if elemental ailment or mana regen is better

[royal fable]

Sombody pls help me

My build early game is really bad

I need help on count ogham

[tribal wagon]

does this stack with the sceptre mod too?

[feral urchin]

strat for trial of sekhamas as monk?

[shut abyss]

if unsure elemental ailment is always nice

[languid palm]

Anyone able to help out with an act 2 boss?

[nimble sluice]

hella honour resistance (but that's for everyone)

I'm ice invoker so I do try to stay in melee as much as I can so I can freeze more efficiently but I do a good deal of kiting since random aoes are annoying

[upbeat igloo]

Mana regen always, nade spam is expensive

[stable pine]

I have a question.
I’m in cruel difficulty, and I’m helping a buddy who just started playing.
I understand that difficulty goes up playing with more people.
How does the difficulty scale?
Am I technically still in cruel when I join him or what?
I am just taking more damage than I think I should be taking. For joining his world.

[worldly dagger]

Guys, is this safe to use?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZyGbIrhFQ
https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1hjwiht/ments_final_loot_filter_release_for_path_of_exile

[shut abyss]

dunno who ment is but loot filters in general are safe to use

[rigid bridge]

check the settings for "level downscaling"

[thin jackal]

I saw Raxxanterax on YT use it (popular arpg top down streamer)

[worldly dagger]

from the wiki it seems like he is the first filter maker, at least for poe1

[nimble sluice]

I use Ment's, should be fine

haven't had my accoutn stolen (yet) but I peeked at the filter code and nothing seems out of the ordinary

[worldly dagger]

Sweet, so ill put it too 🙂

thanks

[nimble sluice]

[safe lance]

What’s a good league starter for SSF? I’ve leveled both a ranger and merc thru act 1 but not sure what I should consider

[feral urchin]

monsters arent dropppping more relics so ig im just screwed lol

[worthy forge]

How do i know precisely which of the 3 distilled materials i need for this particular mod? Adverse growth

[nimble sluice]

I mean you can just buy relics at the end of a trial run

you can run djinn tokens that don't grant ascendency points

free loot basically

[fallen arch]

Find it on he skill tree and mouse over it, then press alt to show all details and it will show next to the name.

[keen pendant]

Splinter support gem (15% phys dmg as break armour) not working on Sunder is that a bug ?

[worthy forge]

@fallen arch that's very helpful. Tysm

[swift vessel]

whats better 666 ES + 20% evasion chance or 274 ES + 60% ES?

[tiny shale]

#can anyone help with ekbab and iktab cruel

[meager galleon]

the 20 ev and 60% es is the mod on the item ?

[spice musk]

is there such a thing as nuke builds? where you rely on 1 large aoe spell to clear the whole screen?

and i dont mean any meta builds or anything, it can have a 30 seconds cooldown for all i care

[nimble sluice]

there's a funny merc staff build I believe

[meager galleon]

probably doable, theres a lot of builds not yet explored in poe2, also lots of skills and supports to be added

[nimble sluice]

it uses a unique monk staff and you basically spam an aoe that takes over half the screen or something

something of the caged god

[spice musk]

but yeah like... you spam an aoe, i mean is there a spell that is just massive and deals tons of damage on its own

[swift vessel]

im stupidd I meant 274 ES + 60% evasion chance

[spice musk]

afaik most builds boil down to spamming some sort of aoe but is there one that trades off the spammy nature for larger aoe/dmg?

[nimble sluice]

iirc the aoe near one shots everything per cast

[meager galleon]

you mean like your final stats on char sheet, right ?

[nimble sluice]

but it's spammable cus it's low cd

[swift vessel]

yes, im on invoker monk on an ice strike build btw

[tribal wagon]

i noticed, this thing glows when I have skill points to spend, do we still have that node mastery from PoE 1 or not?

[tiny shale]

can anyone help with ekbab and iktab cruel

[nimble sluice]

I need to find that vid but it was absolutely nuts to watch, bro was shredding through maps

[meager galleon]

whats mathematically better is hard to answer, (lots of math i dont know how to do) but i would aim to get like 70+ evasion as fast as i can if evasion is my defense layer

[indigo wolf]

at what point does t3 support gem start dropping?

[meager galleon]

playing ranger and evasion started to feel real good once i got from 50% to 75

[rigid bridge]

masterys aren't a thing anymore

[nimble sluice]

uh act 2 cruel I wanna say

[indigo wolf]

ahhh gotcha, thanks. just got into act 1 cruel

[brisk yew]

hi guys just made a sorc but the sorc help thread is full, i was wondering, i want to try a build that utilises Freezing Shards, does that mean that

1. the only way for me to increase this skill's level is by getting a better weapon that also has the same skill? does this mean that my weapon will keep changing as i progress through the campaign?
2. do only gelid staves have Freezing Shards?
3. Is there a build that involves taking Mind over matter + Eldrich battery to essentially become immortal
4. If i want to go down this path, would you recommend that i try going for cast on freeze?
5. does that also mean that i can't commit a jewellers orb at all until late game

[meager galleon]

3. yes, but you will need a lot of mana regen/recovery to be immortal

[last nymph]

can someone help idk y I can't put this lvl 1 skill gem in my stash

i tried taking a gem from the levle one roll to see if it would go in and it didn't work same with removing a roll like lvl 7

[sour pebble]

you can't put the level 1 skill gem from the quest into your stash

[meager galleon]

is that by a chance a quest gem from the first zone ?

[last nymph]

I think so

just finished the tutorial boss

[meager galleon]

yeah, as mec says, can't put quest items into stash

[past rain]

does loyal hellhound only take from life before your life, or also hits on your ES

[last nymph]

thank you 2

[carmine veldt]

fellas what are they talking about

[sour pebble]

20% of the damage from hits you receive go to the hound instead

[carmine veldt]

what is arrogat and what is cruel

[nimble sluice]

arrogat is a zone in act 3

cruel is hard mode

[past rain]

ight cool. just says llife on the node so wasnt sure

[carmine veldt]

where is it

[indigo wolf]

the waypoint in act 3 is all the way to the right btw

[carmine veldt]

do I have it unlocked

[nimble sluice]

there's supposed to be 6 acts but there's only 1-3 so cruel so 4-6 is filled with harder versions of 1-3

[carmine veldt]

where is arrogat though

[ebon shadow]

i got the king of mist bug, where you can't claim the skull to get the spirit

is there anything that i can do?

or is there really nothing so far

[nimble sluice]

this blue one I think?

you should just check the nodes to see if the name pop up

[carmine veldt]

next to ziggurat?

oh wait

[indigo wolf]

time

:^)

[carmine veldt]

is it the last location

[indigo wolf]

not quite

[nimble sluice]

Idk if last but that's near the bottom of your screen

[carmine veldt]

thats drowned city

[nimble sluice]

if it's unlocked, y ou will have a node that specifically says it

but it doesn't seem like you're finished

[carmine veldt]

Yea no I can't find a node that says arrogat

[indigo wolf]

yea, just keep progressing in campaign and you'll unlock it

[nimble sluice]

also they want the cruel version

so you got a long way till that

[carmine veldt]

Oh do they lol

[nimble sluice]

they're two separate instances

[indigo wolf]

will cruel be making its way into full release too? or will it get subbed out for the other acts?

[ebon shadow]

anyone know any solutions?

[fallen ibex]

Do we have any idea if poe 2 will have a reset at one point or we basically staying standard until full release ?

[rigid bridge]

this is not standard, this is EA league

these won't even enter statndard

[carmine veldt]

Uh oh

[fallen ibex]

I see so what’s gonna happen after ea league

[nimble sluice]

we'll have standard league

[vivid cedar]

uhhhhh what do i do i have small core but it woudnt let me open

[nimble sluice]

ea league just kinda sits here as a memoir

[indigo wolf]

what happens to the characters i guess

[nimble sluice]

They get stored in EA league

I think this was mentioned in the recent patch notes?

[indigo wolf]

ahhh, I missed that

[nimble sluice]

Will there be wipes during Early Access? No, there will not be a wipe. We will do new leagues but none of your characters will be wiped, they will just go to a league called Early Access (so they will never be in Standard). In some cases characters in old leagues might be somewhat broken by balance changes though.

[rigid bridge]

EA league will stick around forever

[nimble sluice]

not patch notes but faq in epic games

[indigo wolf]

will they only be able to interact with EA league then?

[snow bloom]

if i get the 30 or 60$ pack, will those cosmetic a one time use?

[indigo wolf]

I guess at that point it's more of a trophy character xd

[vivid valley]

Just click on it, no need to manually use the core

I just did that scene lol

[vivid cedar]

I did look at the log

[vivid valley]

oooh sorry

[vivid cedar]

Nice item too 😄

[vivid valley]

looks like a bug, try restarting game

if you reset the scene you'll lose the core though

if you leave the area you drop the core

[vivid cedar]

dang it D:

oh well ig it cant be helped

[vivid valley]

the core stays there if you go back

[past rain]

so uhh what causes loyal hellhound to come out? probably a dumb question but it says like no requirements on the skill and i cant find the skill lol

[vivid valley]

but if you reset the scene you'll lose it

[vivid cedar]

will try restarting game first ye

[rigid bridge]

right click it?

it should work like other minions no?

[kind pond]

LFH Act 2 Monk. Add Monkeyhehehe

[fallen ibex]

Damnnnn so no reset even ? That’s what I meant my standard cuz even tho it’s not standard it still feels like it

[carmine veldt]

what quest state is bro talking about

[past rain]

i'm using no sceptre and demon form is that why

[brittle crown]

hi is this any good? i plan to buy it from merchant

[nimble sluice]

absolutely no clue @carmine veldt

[vivid cedar]

yes espeically if u use fire 😄

[brittle crown]

ok thanks, how about this:

[vivid cedar]

looks good but idk tbf

[carmine veldt]

is arrogat in temple of kopec?

[indigo wolf]

it's its own node

[brittle crown]

staff is 2 or one hand?

[carmine veldt]

so is it entirely after kopec

[indigo wolf]

2

[brittle crown]

i think that staff is not that good

[fervent plover]

i need more damage

[viral spruce]

Staffs are 2 handed, Wands are 1 handed

[viral spruce]

No you don't

That is PLENTY

[indigo wolf]

at lvl 41 requirement, you can get a higher +# level of cold skills

[fervent plover]

no no no i think ill be around 4mil pretty soon

[indigo wolf]

just checked via trade - you can get up to +4 at 41

[brittle crown]

oh thanks that nice, +4 is very high

[nimble sluice]

how

[rigid bridge]

wdym no reset

[past rain]

just know that mana sustain will be tough if you're not already planning for that

[rigid bridge]

why would you want a reset

there will be new leagues

[nimble sluice]

meanwhile I thought my 22k dps was neat

[rigid bridge]

EA will be like a trophy case

no point in resetting

[viral spruce]

Aren't the new leagues basically a reset?

[rigid bridge]

this is poe you gotta be precise

yes new leagues

chars in EA will not be reset

[past rain]

wait loyal hellhound just cant be used with demon form at all?

[viral spruce]

True, but they go to EA standard

[viral spruce]

No?

[rigid bridge]

this is essentially EA standard

yes

[past rain]

why is there a question mark there is it no

[rigid bridge]

it will not mingle with "forever" standard

[indigo wolf]

trophy case league 😄

[viral spruce]

I am very certain you can use both the hellhound and demon form at the same time, but your question confused me so there is a question mark. I did not test it myself, but I've seen plenty of people run around with hellhound while in demon form

[past rain]

oh. well it says it costs 0 spirit so idk what the limiter would be. when i transform lil bro just disappears

[vivid cedar]

omg i have to reset it

[viral spruce]

Have you selected him in your transform set?

Your Demon form is another Weapon set IIRC and you have to select him there as well

[past rain]

it says skill is not valid for this weapon set but that doesnt mean anything because i'm using blasphemy on it and it says the same thing. but clearly the blasphemy is working

[fallen ibex]

It’s ok I got what u meant , basically a reset but ur char will stay , I was asking cuz we usually refer to new leagues as a reset since basically no1 plays standard , atleast majority don’t

I really thought we weren’t gonna have any poe 2 leagues until December 2025 🥲

[rigid bridge]

? This is likely correct

[foggy birch]

damn got chat muted in poe,hows that even possible

[stuck raptor]

does anyone know when you can do third ascendancy?

[fallen ibex]

Won’t people just get bored eventually after maxing out their builds and literally having 10 mirrors

[proud marten]

What's a strong build from start to finish?

[violet gulch]

guys i play titan how to get my auto attack gem to 5? some how it went into 4 no idea how.

[rigid bridge]

new content

[indigo wolf]

I kinda figured they would also add the remainder of the acts to bugtest before actual release

[upper heron]

anyway to fix aiming bug? my arrows always shoot above my cursor

[past rain]

so anyone can explain why this is happening? when i trigger demon form my hound just goes away? are they compatible?

[carmine veldt]

is aggorat after uttzal

[vivid cedar]

just got the left one but idk if its better

will physical dmg increase if i give it more quality?

[past rain]

just swap em and look at the dps on the skill menu

it's probably much worse

[next olive]

why does it say it wont give me ascendancy points?

[vivid cedar]

ye it is

[plush mantle]

because you did the quest version

[vivid cedar]

damn thats soo sad

[tacit knot]

Is sakhama level 2 key a lucky drop or?

[rancid nova]

Is it just me or Hammer of God is a bit too strong?

[next olive]

bro what the hell is this kind of boss he just repetedly jumps on me perma slows/mana drains me ?

you can't even dodge or roll

he just sits on u entire time wtf?

[brisk yew]

yeah some combinations really suck

[vivid cedar]

yeh it be like that sometimes xD

[brisk yew]

usually if i see that i just resign myself to death

i don't bother trying to fight, it's a waste of time

[next olive]

bruh that's wild lol

[wraith drum]

is minions giga garbage or something? I'm doing actual chip damage to bosses and it takes forever to kill anything

Even taking full minion damage nodes

[rancid nova]

Would like to ask the same as a cold sorc :<
My friend warrior just 1-2 shots yellows.

[limber python]

can i chance orb a crossbow , most of the ones i tried (with passive or without / all normals) say i cant increase rarity

[next olive]

yeah what up wolf man stay down ya dog

get kited noob

[fading carbon]

Not sure of this is the right channel or not, but would anyone he able to help me with the act 1 Manor boss fight, I'm struggling with the second phase when he freezes me and 1 shots me...

[compact thorn]

get a charm that protescts you from cold dmg

and get some cold resistance

[tacit knot]

Is sakhama level 2 key a lucky drop or?

[cunning crescent]

does charm's resist add to the max 75% resist? so it becomes 100% resist?

[compact thorn]

no

[opaque kayak]

yow, for levelling monk, what should I slot with Ice strike and Falling thunder? Pls do 2-3 slots, thank you 🙂

[cunning crescent]

so we only need 50% resist when we have charm?

[compact thorn]

to pass the 75% you need something with increases maximum resistance

[compact thorn]

well no , charms dont give you that stat permanently

[compact thorn]

something like this +2 to lightning for example

[cunning crescent]

Ohh okay. Thanks!

[fading carbon]

Yoy wouldn't be able to jump in for a min and help me would you?

[craggy gyro]

Need help on boss fight jamanra hard stuck ign Drax_ner

[rough lintel]

#2┃looking-for-group if you're specifically looking for boss help

[tired rampart]

the mana drain is only the blue "onion-ring", if you're inside/outside the ring u don't get drained
the temporal bubble on the other one is a shit one tho ngl..

[final cliff]

is there a xp penalty if the area has a higher lv than you ?

[vivid cedar]

stone rune best for monk?

[next olive]

It had that circle shit but also some kinda freezing/slow then ontop they'd leap on me was not possible to get out of it even with dodging entire time but when i went back 3rd time the affixes were diff and i was able to kite/kill them

[deft vortex]

hmm seems like monk has the roughest start against bloated miller

maybe it's just me not used to the style

[tired rampart]

yeah the slowing shit was the Temporal Bubble on the left fuckbird, shit's so annoying

[heavy pendant]

question, is there a skip story feature for alts?

[vivid cedar]

are there any places where certain drops have higher %?

[timber sigil]

is trade site even working? nobody responds on my whispers, why the F people are even listing anything?

[compact thorn]

yeah it does work

I just sold a few maps

[golden island]

If I logout in one of my characters, go to another and stash their items, and then login to the other char again, would it still save the map? One of my characters is now in front of a corrupting altar and I want to corrupt another character's equipped weapon

[timber sigil]

i hope they will introduce some punishments or bans for several ignored trading actions, because they just overspam market and you cant actually buy anything, since they are not fkin responding at all

[vivid cedar]

doubt tht will ever happen

[compact thorn]

that wont ever happen lmao

[timber sigil]

than market will never work

[compact thorn]

it has worked for 10 years in poe 1 tho

[past rain]

majority of uniques are ass unfortunately lol

[timber sigil]

whispered 10 different people - no any single answer, how long do i have to search for non bot now

disgusting

[compact thorn]

what are u even trying to buy?

[timber sigil]

kitoko current

1 exalted orb, so hard trading

[limber python]

can i chance orb a crossbow , most of the ones i tried (with passive or without / all normals) say i cant increase rarity

[compact thorn]

that usually happens for cheap stuff

ppl dont really want to leave their map or trial or w/e just to get 1 ex

[past rain]

you can only chance orb certain white bases. idk if there's a table or list of what works or whatever

[timber sigil]

this is why they put it on sale and never respond to any whisper since 30 minutes? do they even know how marketing working?

[limber python]

the cross bow i used was a white base with no passve or anything

[timber sigil]

it's literally "i will put it on sale but i;m too lazy so it will be there for eternity cuz i'm too busy" ?

[past rain]

yeah like i said only certain bases. that must not have been one of em

[brisk yew]

chance orb is you either turn it into a unique or it gets destroyed

[past rain]

find another white crossbow and try again. idk which to try

[brisk yew]

it probably means that for that crossbow base, there's no unique so you can't use iton that crossbow

[golden island]

I yolo'd it, map was saved, now to corrupt the unique

[ionic wagon]

I'm about to fight the stupid bird at the end of the temple of chaos 10 trial for my 4th ascendency point. Pray4me! Last time i got just barely nicked by the tornado and died instantly

[tacit knot]

How do i get into second ascendancy trial sekhema?

Im stuck

😦

[regal shore]

How do I get the pierce rune for the ability spark currently lvl 18

[ashen bane]

find the barya with 2 trials on it

[tacit knot]

Hoe do infind it. Random drop?

[regal shore]

You talking about me?

[ashen bane]

yes, i think you get guaranteed one from djinn in cruel difficulty

[compact thorn]

you can buy it too for 1 ex

[tacit knot]

Whats djinn? An enemy?

[ashen bane]

you mean support gem?

[tacit knot]

Oh well in still act 3 so

[compact thorn]

its bugged , just ignore the quest you can go to the trials in act 2 normal

[ashen bane]

the sealed one in act 2

[native egret]

Guys, why doesn't this amulet give me more spirit?

[tacit knot]

Balbala?

[ashen bane]

yes

[tacit knot]

Ah wow lol okay

[flint plume]

It should give you 14 spirit

[regal shore]

I think so someone said for the ability spark you wanna go for the pierce rune I belive that's what you put in your socket for sorcerer

[ashen bane]

did you take invoker spirit node

[flint plume]

Wait, are you an invoker with the spirit node allocated?

[native egret]

Nothing happens when I equip it

[prisma crystal]

does my lightning arrow benefit from pierce in any way? like would it trigger chaining beams from both hits?

[native egret]

hm maybe... where is it?

[compact thorn]

yes

yeah

just ignore the quest

its bugged

[native egret]

ok, that's it, thanks!

[flint plume]

It's the invoker node that gives spirit based on how much evasion and ES your chest has but makes it so you can't get spirit from gear. At the top of the invoker tree

[prisma crystal]

but it seems like lightning rods would explode only once after a single skill use

[ashen bane]

there is no rune/soul core that provides pierce

[regal shore]

There should be something that gives your spark pierce do you know what they mean

[flint plume]

Do you mean pierce support gem?

[ashen bane]

support gem exists

[regal shore]

Yes yes those how do I get it 😔

[flint plume]

There are three types of sockets in PoE2 that each have different things that go in them and serve very different purposes. Support gems go in your gems, runes go in gear, jewels go in the tree

[regal shore]

@ashen bane do they drop in a certain area or do I buy it from a vendor

[flint plume]

Use an uncut support gem

[ashen bane]

you need uncut support gem, it's like normal one, but called support

[strong sleet]

does anyone know if pierce from passive tree does less damage after piercing?

[ionic wagon]

I killed the bird and completed the 10 room trial of chaos and i dont have any ascendency points?!?! 😭

[flint plume]

Early on the main way to get support gems is some of the side bosses and objectives that show up on the map and some quest rewards. They can also drop randomly.

[flint plume]

Are you trying to get your third set of points or fourth set? Fourth set requires killing Trialmaster

[regal shore]

Can I go back to farm it I used my gems for abliys

[ionic wagon]

Oh no i left without killing him! Shit.... i have the item do i need to do the entire thing again to fight him?

[flint plume]

Ability gems and support gems are different

You'll find more of both, keep playing and make sure you check the map for the optional bosses and things in each area and do those, a lot of them give gems

[regal shore]

@flint plume legit as we speak I just got uncut gem to drop that what I need right

@flint plume how do i trun into pierce do I click on gem and gives me the option I know dumb question

@flint plume should I click engrave skill gem and find pierce

[flint plume]

You need uncut support gem, which is different from uncut skill gem. If you find an uncut support gem, when you right click it it'll suggest a few options for each of your skills but there's also a box you can uncheck to see everything, you can find pierce there and engrave jt

[regal shore]

Ok I see I got get a support gem not skill gem

[regal shore]

Starting to make sense

[flint plume]

I think if you left without killing him.You have to do it again unfortunately. And make sure you bring the items you need to fight him with you

[ionic wagon]

Ahh, i only have one item i think i just realized i need 3 anyway?

[flint plume]

Basically, there are three types of uncut gems. Skill give you activated abilities. Support give you things that you can put in the sockets of your skills to change how they work. Spirit gives abilities that use spirit to give you buffs

[flint plume]

Yeah, there are three items you need, you get a random one from the end boss of a 10 one.

[brittle crown]

im getting this error:

[fallen gull]

Hi, sorry for the dumb question in advance, but can someone tell me what's the ultimate goal of the game? I've heard the endgame consists of clearing maps and such, but I've never heard of what to be considered "beating the game" goal.

I've never played ARPG in my life, and my Google research is not making a lot of sense :x

[rugged tangle]

its different for everyone, endgame is basically what you make it..... some play it to min/max builds, some want to take on the hardest bosses, some just play to make money via trade and crafting.... endgame is what you want it to be

[regal shore]

Last thing I can get support gem to drop in low level even tho I'm level 17

[final cliff]

Is there a way to pwoer level ? Pulled the 2nd char from a friend throught the 6 acts. Now we need to lv him ^^

He doesnt seem to get xp on higher level maps even with downscaling on

[rugged tangle]

scaling scales to the party leader I believe so if hes not the party leader and hes lower lvl hes still going to get much lower xp

[fallen gull]

I C, do like if I am interested in boss fights and less to clear maps, I can orient my character for that kind of gameplay?

[flint plume]

The campaign does have a definitive end. Right now there are only three acts and you have to beat them twice to get to endgame, but by release there will be a 6-act campaign you only have to beat once. After that there:s the endgame.

End game has some special bosses you can fight when you get to the highest level maps, and each of them has multiple difficulties, so beating those bosses on the highest difficulty is kind of the ultimate end content right now. But for some people it's not just about doing that but about things like to get to level 100 or just trying to make their character as strong as possible or getting gear to try a different build on a new character.

Eventually we'll also get leagues, which are basically temporary servers where it's a fresh start for everyone with a special mechanic. PoE1 leagues have challenges you can do for cosmetics and a lot of people have doing those as their main goal, that'll probably be added to PoE2 eventually too.

[rugged tangle]

You can try to prioritize bosses over clear but your still going to have to clear maps in order to get to doing bosses unless you get to the point of having currency to buy the various entry keys for "bossing" though im not sure how that really works in poe2 at this point

[bright mountain]

could there be any potential pvp in future

[rugged tangle]

I'm not sure, I never seen pvp in the first game but some people said it did exist 🤷

[brittle crown]

how to get into TEMPLE OF KOPEC ?

[flint plume]

Maybe. PoE1 has PvP but it never took off, don't know if they'll try again in PoE2 or just not bother since barely anyone ever did it in PoE1.

[regal shore]

Wait a min are stashes connected with all toons if I get a support gem on a different toon I can put it in my stash and jump on my other toon and grab it ?

[flint plume]

Yes

[rugged tangle]

as long as they are in the same league server

[regal shore]

Standard

I'm standard I got learn how to walk before I run 🏃‍♀️

[rugged tangle]

then ya all your characters will share the stash

I dont see pvp as having any real place in poe.... it would be so unbalanced that it wouldnt even be fun imo

[fleet portal]

i put this on but my spirit doesnt increase?

[rugged tangle]

class? If you're playing monk invoker and take the spirit passive on ascendancy it says you cant get spirit from gear while using that passive

[craggy gyro]

check your skills

put it on and off to see if any skill is taking up the spirit

[regal shore]

Might of figure out farm I think mud burrow auto gives u support gym

[fleet portal]

monk

[desert dirge]

If I have hits ignore non negative resistances of enemies and have 10% penetration on top of that , do enemies get -10% ❓

[rugged tangle]

If you're playing monk invoker and take the spirit passive on ascendancy it says you cant get spirit from gear while using that passive

[fleet portal]

ah i didnt even see that i just waisted 1 ex on this then 😭

how am i meant to egt alot mroe spirit then?

[flint plume]

No. Penatration can't go negative, it doesn:t do anything if you already ignore non-negative resists

[fallen gull]

Tysm for the thorough explanation!

[rugged tangle]

high tier body armor with more evasion/energy shield.... very expensive as you progress

[desert dirge]

ok thanks :)

[flint plume]

Get a lot.more evasion and energy shield on your chest.

[fallen gull]

I see. Map clearing looked fun anyway as well, so 👍

[fleet portal]

well rn my chest gives me passive power charges and i need it but is there any otehr easy way for power cahrges?

[rugged tangle]

combat frenzy buff with the resonance passive on the tree will give you power charges when you freeze/electrocute/pin an enemy

[flint plume]

I think a popular way is to use resonance with combat frrnzy

[bright garden]

do ppl sell audience with the king carries and where to find them

[rugged tangle]

search "the forbidden trove" on discord server search, you can find all kinds of carry services and trades there

[vivid cedar]

Why this as monk:(

[rugged tangle]

make a fire monk 🤷 lol

Im actually thinking of building a fire monk at some point.... im sure its doable just havent tried yet

[flint plume]

Gear that drops is random and not based on your class

[vivid cedar]

yeh ik

[flint plume]

Okay, wasn't sure since some other ARPGs mostly drop gear for your class so some new players might be used to that

[lament stone]

any class can use any gear

nothing class specific

[regal shore]

I did I got pierce on my spark had refund some intlegence for dex cosr a pretty penny to refund

Now my spark should bounce off enemies to another

[lament stone]

thats chain

[tacit knot]

Is mark on hit possible with a cast on ....combined with a mark

[lament stone]

if marks are spells it should work, but it wont apply very often

[tacit knot]

Why calul

[rugged tangle]

cast on doesnt work like poe1 it takes a while to generate enough energy to actually cast

[lament stone]

cast on x gems have to generate energy to cast the thing

[tacit knot]

How much energy do they need

[wild fable]

Has anyone had any luck with doing poison High Velocity Rounds build and any clue if it's good later into the game?

[lament stone]

depends on the cast time of the skill

[tacit knot]

How much freeze for example

[tacit knot]

Oh im using snipers mark with it i think

[vivid cedar]

right one still better?

[lament stone]

cast on freeze gives 1 ernergy per normal enemy it freezes, so if you have a 1s cast time youd need to freeze like 100 enemies to cast on freeze once

[rugged tangle]

they gotta get to 100% energy which varies based on energy gain passives and cast speed etc.... basically without heavy investment it will only proc reliably on bosses and rares.... normal mobs will take too long to proc it to matter

[tacit knot]

Uf. I get it hehe yea that doesnt sound great

[twilit grail]

does the King in the Mists in Act 1 Cruel supposed to give me the Gembloom Skull again for another +30 Spirit??

[tacit knot]

For my plan anyway

[lament stone]

that sounds wrong actually, but its that general idea

It gives 10 energy per normal enemy, doesn't it? And 20 per magic, 50 for rare, and 200 for uniqhe

[lament stone]

[vivid cedar]

@urban moth one day il get usefull unique 🤣

[slender mango]

Hi guys. question.. so I finished act 3 cruel.. is there a way in game to find out all the BONUS stats and skill points i have. I'm sure i got them all but im doubting myself

[tacit knot]

Sorry if its a dumb question but people always say this. At what level should the "coming online" od your character start to begin? Like you start feeling it turn into a build

[lament stone]

not yet, easiest thing to do is take off all gear and see if you have -40% on all ele res, and you should have 24 weapon set passive points loook in top corner of tree for that

[lament stone]

whenever you start getting all the skills and necessary items for your build

[tacit knot]

What level appeox?

[lament stone]

depends on bujild

[rugged tangle]

varies depending on when you start to acquire the gear for your build to work.... usually around the end of act 3 normal people start to feel it but could be later

[flint plume]

It really depends. Some builds it's fast, some builds it's deep into endgame

[sudden chasm]

the game isnt letting me respec my skill points, i remove them from where ive already allocated them and try to spend them somewhere else but when i click confirm it goes back to how it was

[tacit knot]

Yea i hwar people say for most people cruel feels better then a1/2 for example

Thanks a lot guys

[rigid bridge]

Do in 2 steps

[slender mango]

Question.. so I finished act 3 cruel.. is there a way in game to find out all the BONUS stats and skill points i have. I'm sure i got them all but im doubting myself

[tacit knot]

Are rhere any heads up tips for cruel u couls give? Im a3 now

[rigid bridge]

Unspec confirm then apply

[rigid bridge]

Aim to cap your res by endgame. You should have min 40 res all through cruel

[lament stone]

@slender mango

[tacit knot]

No i mean starting cruel in a1. Is there anything wildlt differeny from noemal?

[sudden chasm]

its not even letting me remove them now

[rigid bridge]

Visual bug. Change zones or relog

[meager torrent]

Anyeone has an issue in act3 NPC's dialogues are impossible to read due to auto forwarding the conv? (it is hard to describe 😐 )

[lament stone]

yes

[regal shore]

Can some one please tell me what happens on act 2 if I die on standard

[next olive]

how do i avoid this shit?

[mellow echo]

I came across crit shatter Invoker (monk) by Pohx and many others. is it easy to level, gear and play?
I just want to complete the campaign and some maps during holidays ( i have 3 characters at level 15ish didn;t like any ofthem)
unfortunately don't have much time to experiment

[rugged tangle]

what exactly? lol

[next olive]

Figured it out the sandstorm the chick casts some kind of protective barrier

[regal shore]

What is 10 % resistance penalty mean

[rugged tangle]

it takes some currency to make work so without alot of luck you wont be able to really do it until sometime late game

[craggy gyro]

Means u get a 10% chance to get a penalty kick to beat the boss in a 1 on 1

[unkempt anchor]

Does anyone have a warrior build that focus on good defence and AOE dmg (Towards Fire)

[mellow echo]

ok so i start with that ice strike monk first and then later switch?

[rugged tangle]

you could, up to you really.... im sure you can find a leveling guide for monk until you can transition

edit to add: I wouldnt get tooo focused on what streamers are building..... streamer builds tend to get nerfed regularly as the devs do keep an eye on overpowered mechanics

[grim hemlock]

how do you compare such quivers for example. Does 19% increase matter on the right one that much

[craggy gyro]

The one on the left better cuz it’s higher level and got more words

[scenic salmon]

This is a valid way to compare them
Alternatively you can see the DPS change in the abilities

[rugged tangle]

more crit chance and dmg on the right will likely out dps the increase in attack speed on the left

[grim hemlock]

oh thanks, the DPS chance on skills are not too much but I imagine crit chance matters

[onyx warren]

Hey. I enable the tab affinity toggle and set each tab affinity, but when I move an item it always goes to the current tab. What am I missing.

[rugged tangle]

should be good assuming the things your placing have a matching tab affinity.... quite a few things dont currently

[lament stone]

you set same affinty for multiple tabs? some items dont have affinities

[regal shore]

I've died 15 times at rathbreaker what am I doing wrong

[rugged tangle]

cant say without info on why your failing 🤷

[tribal wagon]

can we add support gems on skills that is on "cast on..."

[regal shore]

@vipercobra not sure getting him haft way just get slaughter

[plucky snow]

his first attack is always same, dont come close, but other than that is pure dodge timing and staying away from his volcanoes skill issue

[gritty plaza]

how do I know what's the maximum number of sockets on an items?
just bought a ghostwrithe with item lv62 and it only has max 2 sockets?

[rugged tangle]

just need to practice dodging if your dps is fine.... alot of bosses your not going to just be able to tank without dodging large attack

[craggy gyro]

You need to make his hp 0 while urs not 0

[lament stone]

2 is the default max on body armour and 2 handed martial weapons, 1 is default max on everything else that can get sockets

[gritty plaza]

but I have seen so many body armour with 5 or 6 sockets

[lament stone]

nothing has 6, the only one that can get 5 is a specific unique

[narrow violet]

do charms stack? like what happens if i have two res charms in a belt, or two immunity charms in a belt?

[craggy gyro]

U gotta craft that by using 1000 orbs to make a mega body armor

[gritty plaza]

wait no wrong chat sorry, I'm supposed to be in poe1 mb

[little spire]

yo so when i use wave of frost it does not freeze any enemies why does it not freeze

[rugged tangle]

enemies dont just get the ailment when hit with an element.... they have a threshold you need to hit in order to freeze/electrocute etc. So if your not freezing you need more cold dmg or something that increases freeze chance

[fading adder]

What are the best support gems for spark ?

[slender mango]

thank you 👍

[regal shore]

@rugged tangle I did it let's goooooooooo I put some of these old movements slippers on and kept dodge behind him

[topaz delta]

are the djin barya coins for third ascension just that difficult to get?

[rugged tangle]

fairly common in early maps(endgame)

[topaz delta]

i've had 1 so far so guess i'm just unlucky

[rugged tangle]

they dont drop a ton but I wouldnt call them rare..... doing the actual trial sucks though lol

[cursive fractal]

can anyone help tell me why charged staff isn't working?

[topaz delta]

with the one coin i made it halfway past the third boss before my honour ran out but i had at most 10 resist

[lament stone]

do you have enough strength to use all your red support gems? you need +5 str per red support

[rugged tangle]

what are you using to generate power charges?

[shut abyss]

you're converting power charges to something else, you should be using combat frenzy with that passive

[tacit raven]

Yesterday I defeated Count Geonor and started with act 2. I defeated the first boss (died like 3 times) and died at attempt 1 on the secont boss.
I play Sorceress with a freeze build and I feel like my build is very bad.
Is that normal in early game?

[rugged tangle]

ya the whole honour mechanic is crap imo.... I paid for a carry for my last 4 ascendancy points as I couldnt be bothered to do it.... always hated that mechanic in poe1

[cursive fractal]

ive been using been using storm wave and ice strike

[topaz delta]

yeah fair, i spend most of my exalteds and 1 divine to upgrade my gear big time

[cursive fractal]

where is that?

[shut abyss]

resonance is the passive, combat frenzy is a spirit buff

[cursive fractal]

oh idk if i have spirit gem

[shut abyss]

so killing palm makes power charges which is converted to endurance charges so you do not have any power to use charged staff

just remove the passive

also profane ritual is amazing if you can't use combat frenzy yet for whatever reason

[next olive]

just noticed im missing this waypoint im lvl 32 is there a way for me to get it i can't seem to find a way back there?

[rugged tangle]

you dont need it for anything so I wouldnt worry bout it

[cursive fractal]

ok ill try that

[lament stone]

there isnt a waypoint there which is why the circle is empty

[cursive fractal]

that worked, i gathered 2 orbs and was able to use it but there has to be a better way

[versed parrot]

Hello, im not sure what they mena with weapon? Will it work with my ranger gas arrow build?

[shut abyss]

profane ritual or combat frenzy is my go to

[tacit raven]

Is it normal that sorceress feels weak in early game?

[cursive fractal]

i need a gem level 8

[lament stone]

basically just means any attack skill

[shut abyss]

i got level 8 skill gem so /invite moppari

[lament stone]

lightning spells feel pretty weak until level 58

[tacit raven]

I play a freeze build

[cursive fractal]

ty

[rancid nova]

I'm level 65 and still feel way too weak

[tacit raven]

Ok thanks

[rancid nova]

Compared to a warrior one-shoting yellows

[lament stone]

freeze shouldnt be as bad, you might just need a weapon upgrade

[dapper owl]

Guys, if I add a Core of Citaqualotl to my gear, does it add up for my Chaos Res cap? I have a ring that has 19% All Res, but when I unequip it, the Chaos Res cap doesn't react?

[proper bear]

I'm in act 1, should I sell or disenchant loot

[tacit raven]

I dont know what i should play. At the moment i have Firebolt and Freezing shards

[rugged tangle]

sell if you need gold for vendors/skill respec.... if not then disenchant, in act 1 you really cant go wrong either way

[proper bear]

what do I save gold for

like skill respec sure

[rugged tangle]

buying gear from vendors or respec of passive tree, thats bout it

[weak mantle]

i went the ‘do enough dps that nothing else matters’ route. not feeling squishy anymore haha, on level 55 and cruel act 2 now

[rancid nova]

This is what Im' rnning with

[weak mantle]

built up evasion and ES

[unkempt anchor]

Warrior can 1 shot yellow

[proper bear]

vendor gear is worth? Like weapons or something specific or all?

[rancid nova]

This is exactly what i'm saying

[rugged tangle]

vendor gear resets everytime you level up, it "can" be really good but it depends on how lucky you get

[unkempt anchor]

i thought it is the other way yellow 1 shotted warrior

[proper bear]

ok thanks

[rancid nova]

Oh, no Hammer of God a yellow or a boss and that's iut

Seems stupid

[viscid willow]

how does currency exchange work, it says order completed but i don't see the gemcutter in my stash

[proper bear]

any specific loot worth saving for later or should I be using everything I get

[tacit raven]

wow. I actually never thought about doing physical damage with the sourceress

[rugged tangle]

theres also a vendor you can "gamble" for gear with that has random gear of each type that has chances of giving insane gear if really lucky but its expensive

[stark lynx]

you need to pick it up from that window

[proper bear]

ok

[viscid willow]

ohh lmao, thanks

[foggy birch]

Ok

[half ingot]

Salvage what you can, then disenchant what you can and lastly sell the rest

[rugged tangle]

in early game your unlikely to get anything worth saving for later, though some uniques could be worth saving

[rancid nova]

It goes well with me, but overall seems underwhelming

[proper bear]

what's salvaging

[stark lynx]

in act1 I'd sell vast majority of things, the vendors and gamba seem stronger than trying to craft yourself at that point.

[rancid nova]

And the thing is - I have no idea how to improve my damage :<

[stark lynx]

also rare Magicka pfp

[tacit raven]

I mean. The bosses are doable with my build and gear. But it just feels a little too weak

[rancid nova]

They are doable, but seeing others just one shot them....

While having no problems against whites as well

[tacit raven]

exactly xD

[half ingot]

If equipment has a runeslot you can bring it to the salvage bench and get scraps. Which will give you an orb to add runeslots to equipment that you actually use.

[lament stone]

chaos is not elemental res

[rancid nova]

If they woudl struggle to clear whites - that would be another thing

[dapper owl]

ty. I figured out

[half ingot]

Those scraps/orbs are hard to come by so dalvage what you can

[proper bear]

in a guide they said like you can use two sets of weapons but like on witch I feel like that's not possible because if my weapon preset changes like I lose my summons since the item with the spirit is not equipped while using skills from the other weapon set. So you only use 2 weapons or is there a way to make two sets work?

[proper bear]

ok ty

[foggy birch]

Ur worrying about useless shit just go play the game

[scenic salmon]

Weapon sets are great and far from useless

[proper bear]

doesn't hurt to figure out how the systems in this game work early on

[foggy birch]

🤦‍♂️

[stark lynx]

Wont all the minions instantly resummon when you swap back

[proper bear]

also, what weapons can be equipped with what because some weapons you can't equip in the two slots at the same time

[hearty zodiac]

hi guys can anyone tell How to search for specific annoints on amulet? in poe trade site

[stark lynx]

are you talking of poe1

those help channels are in different category

[hearty zodiac]

ah ok

thanks

[viscid willow]

at what level do i stop getting passive points?

[scenic salmon]

What

[rugged tangle]

100 though most players will never hit that

[foggy birch]

yea leave it for the jobless

[zealous osprey]

But, what if I have a job?

[rugged tangle]

Generally I would plan your passives around the expectation to hit lvl 95(ish) as that is much more realistic

[zealous osprey]

[rancid nova]

Where's the appropriate place to ask for help with sorceress build?

[rugged tangle]

#1308715058716610580

[rancid nova]

Well, I tried the Church, but it does not allow me to post there

[rugged tangle]

you can create a new post at top of the page

[foggy birch]

You look like you work inside of a icecream truck

scoop me some icecream kind sir

[zealous osprey]

Wrong, lol

[weary stump]

if I pick this node can I still have auras ?

[foggy birch]

vanilla, strawberry yes

on a waffle,yes sir

[zealous osprey]

Nope

[weary stump]

useless node I guess

its too little dmg bonus from it

like 30% extra chaos at lv 100 xd ?

[rancid nova]

So that Church is invite only?

[rugged tangle]

no idea, I havent used the build help section personally

[tropic flint]

can someone help me I'm using this build and I can't use my charge stuff I don't know why https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/p56160mu I do have the requirement for it but I cannot activate it on my staff

[rugged tangle]

are you getting power charges?

[azure lava]

Do you have power charges to consume in order to activate charged staff?
