[little cedar]

oh ok

[bright mountain]

I didnt like witch , im on act 1 should i start again

[lost smelt]

if you feel like it sure

up to you

[bright mountain]

ok

[soft orbit]

best to find what you enjoy early

[bright mountain]

monk , ranged , mercnary

which is more fun?

[soft orbit]

though some classes definitely have rough starts

[atomic wolf]

this may be the wrrong place to ask, but is there aguide for a charge less ice monk leveling ?

[fringe sphinx]

How do you reset the map on controller to be able to farm?

[tall lagoon]

Hello, I'm a new and noob player. I'm not sure how charged staff works on monk, I'm using tempest flurry but nothing happens

[fleet portal]

can jewels be removed or changed in the skill tree?

how?

[shut abyss]

right click

[trim turret]

We don't know what's fun for you.

[fleet portal]

monk for me is the most fun

[jaunty cove]

Is minion resistance super important later on? Does anyone have any experience with this. Trying to decide if I should respect to the left rather than straight up to skip uneeded passives. Would save me maybe 10 passive nodes if I did

[trim turret]

Doesn't it consume power charges? Are you generating power charges?

[little cedar]

i'm confused i have been whispering people that are not afk on this trade site for 1 hour now and no reponses. always somseone different

is it supposed to be this miserable

[trim turret]

How much does the item cost?

[little cedar]

1 exalt usually

diff items

diff people

never repsonses

is it because im invisible on steam

[trim turret]

Yeah people don't usually respond when someone is trying to buy a cheap item because it isn't worth it.

[little cedar]

oh but thats what he listed it for

[trim turret]

I know.

It's dumb.

[jaunty cove]

I sell cheap items all the time lol I'm poor

[little cedar]

oh ok. guess ill wait for AH

is that comming?

[trim turret]

Supposedly they're doing something like that where you can directly sell an item with a gold tax on it, like the currency exchange.

[little cedar]

nice

[hidden steppe]

guys whats easier to lvl with? the lightning arrow build or gas arrow explosion???

[jaunty cove]

Console doesn't have the currency exchange as far as I've seen

[trim turret]

It should. I think it becomes available in cruel.

[jaunty cove]

Oh then that makes sense then I'm on normal

[orchid sonnet]

Can anyone help me through Queen of filth Cruel? Getting oneshot… IGN superboos

[tall lagoon]

maybe that's it, I dont generate power charges lmao

[trim turret]

Reread the skill.

[noble lion]

I added my brother to my friends list and when he’s switched to his Witch I can see him and add him to party. When he’s signed changed character to his warrior I see the message he’s online but in the social menu he is offline. Only he can send me an invite to a party then he shows online. If he goes back to his Witch I can see him online. Is there some settings per character to appear offline? BTW my other brother same issue can’t see him online too specific characters.

[trim turret]

That sounds like a bug to me.

[bright mountain]

so i tried witch , didnt really like the game play , i wanna try a different character , any recommendation

[scenic salmon]

Why did you dislike your experience

[atomic patio]

are we a bad player if we follow a build guide ?

[trim turret]

No. Whatever works for you.

[scenic salmon]

Bad as in ?

[bright mountain]

i might be playin wrong , i tried a fire witch build im at level 16 , dying a lot to groups of enemies

[trim turret]

Changing classes won't fix that issue if you make the same mistakes.

[scenic salmon]

Yeah the game forces you to go slowly by making surrounds lethal specially early

[atomic patio]

if i don't like building a gameplay myself i mean

you know , theorycraft etc

[scenic salmon]

Having fun is the point you do you

[atomic patio]

when i try to do something myself i'm stuck 😄

[trim turret]

You do whatever will let you have the most fun.

[bright mountain]

i mean , idk man , i just dont know how to play witch anymore3

[trim turret]

Did you try minions?

[tame mesa]

Witch? I have a quarterstaff and am using ice strike... :

[trim turret]

Witch has a lot of early stuff for minions.

[bright mountain]

no , i looked , but i fked up my spirit gem

dont have raging spirits

and sold my only spectre wand

i did a lot of dumb stuff on this character

[trim turret]

Then try a new one. Not like act 1 is far. Maybe stick with recommended skills until you get the hang of things.

[bright mountain]

what should i try , monk or mercenary maybe

[trim turret]

You can roll out of the spear attacks. I did it with 0% chaos resist.

[trim turret]

I can't make that decision for you.

[bright mountain]

just recommend one

imfine with both

[trim turret]

I have both.

Both are fun to me.

It's not a huge decision, the characters aren't going anywhere.

[bright mountain]

ok ill try mercernary then

any tipsfor mercenary then/

[trim turret]

Same as the other classes, read the skills to see how they work together. Keep your weapon up to date as much as possible.

[grand fulcrum]

Where can i find that? i redeemed it

[trim turret]

If it's a steam key it should be copy/pasted into the key redemption screen on steam.

[grand fulcrum]

what do you mean,I should copy paste the key?Because it doesn't work

[half fractal]

im just about started act 2 what should i be doing to get better gear?

[trim turret]

Where do you see that key that you are redeeming? On the POE website? Does your account already have access to the early access?

[trim turret]

Identify drops, use currency, check vendors, use runes.

[grand fulcrum]

i bought a key from eneba

[trim turret]

Eneba? You should not buy keys from third party greysites.

[scenic salmon]

The destitute life is in the grey market

[grand fulcrum]

never mind found it,thanks for responding

[cold mica]

is this quarter staff good?

[trim turret]

Depends where you are in the game. It's ok. If it's better than what you're using that's all that matters.

[frigid badge]

how do i click those options?

[trim turret]

Hold ALT.

[proven matrix]

#is staggering palm like upgrade to killing palm or different skill?

[trim turret]

Different skill.

[shut abyss]

different

[frigid badge]

thank you

[proven matrix]

So no point to take it since i have killing palm

I have killing palm, frost bomb and falling thunder

[shut abyss]

well you can use staggering palm to stun bosses for a long time and you get a damage buff for a short time

[trim turret]

Depends what you're trying to do with your build. They're both palm strike skills but do very different things.

[proven matrix]

Im like lvl 7

Trying to just go trough acts and lvl up

[shut abyss]

if you can afford it and got room for it why not try it out? 😛

[trim turret]

Well it's not like trying skills punishes you. They basically rain uncut gems on you.

[frosty geode]

Ohhh. This an active server??

[proven matrix]

Might just take bell looks dope

[trim turret]

Yes.

[frosty geode]

Ohh phewwe. Then I was going to the wrong servers lol

[trim turret]

This is still unofficial but devs respond in this server occasionally.

[shut abyss]

bell is top tier

[frosty geode]

Maybe they will make it the official one?

Oh, do we have class channels? I didn't see any

[trim turret]

No. We've been here for years and I doubt they have the time or inclination to manage an official discord. They have a website and forums for that.

No, no need for individual class channels.

[frosty geode]

Makes sense

[trim turret]

There are usually enough people here that you can ask about any class and someone has an anawer.

[frosty geode]

I like the idea of individual channels because it can make main channel less cluttered. Unless the channel doesn't get overly cluttered. Which is great if that's the case

[trim turret]

Well each channel has its purpose and we try to keep it that way.

This is for people that haven't beaten the campaign.

[bright mountain]

is witch hunter and gemling are sub classof mercenary?

[trim turret]

Yup.

[proven matrix]

I need to hit it constantly?

[bright mountain]

ok imma do mercenary then3.

[trim turret]

I use it as a rare or boss killer.

[shut abyss]

drop it for extra damage

[proven matrix]

It rings when I hit it lol

[shut abyss]

ping pong

[trim turret]

Yeah it's an AOE damage Shockwave that also uses any ailments you've inflicted on the bell itself.

[shut abyss]

if something needs to die you drop a bell and they're not there anymore

[little cedar]

I spent all the gold and currency i had left moving to another build that is supposed to be OP but maybe it only gets that way in end game

now i can't finish act 2 lol its real bad

should i reroll?

[frosty geode]

This makes me very happy..especially being someone who has struggled in the game and actually quit 2 days in. And now just came back yesterday

[little cedar]

Every time I log in this game i'm just stuck

[trim turret]

Well a build is more than skill gems and passives. Does that build have a leveling guide or is just an endgame build?

[proven matrix]

That bell op

[frosty geode]

Haha I did that in poe a decade ago a few times 😦

[little cedar]

all i can find is endgame ones

[proven matrix]

I liked that one from D3 where you would smash it

[little cedar]

its too late now anyway

i dont have gold or orbs

[proven matrix]

Should I pick up every item from ground or just go for blue and yellow? I feel like I need to come back to town like 2 or 3 times per area

[shut abyss]

do tell which guide and why doesn't it work?

[trim turret]

Maxroll and mobalytics should have leveling guides. Don't just trust something because it claims to be OP. EVERYONE claims their build is the best.

[little cedar]

yeah i got bored of grenades

wanted to try the op build

[trim turret]

Blues and yellows mostly. And anything with sockets or quality for the salvage bench.

[little cedar]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/210623d7-d551-492f-82fc-632f760d8751/builds/766ed947-abff-45c7-a1ec-d2159a7f8234?utm_campaign=Goblin&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=influencers

its for endgame i guess

[proven matrix]

Can white have sockets? And what you mean by quality?

[frosty geode]

Woooo herald of ash seems niiiice

[little cedar]

honeslty i think i just dont like the game

[trim turret]

It straight up says that it is super expensive and requires specific uniques. And it's an attribute stacker. Those are never cheap.

[little cedar]

its too slow

[median fractal]

could someone help me with the trial of chaos?

[trim turret]

Any rarity can have sockets. Looks like a little white dot on the item icon on the ground. Quality means the item will say superior and it's base stats Will be somewhat improved.

[topaz junco]

#2┃looking-for-group

[trim turret]

Can't be for everyone. I will say once I had a functional build and hit cruel I sped up considerably. But grabbing a build because it claims to be OP when it is clearly meant for endgame and people with a lot of currency will always be a bad time.

[little cedar]

yeah ive only had a bad time since launch

maybe just bad luck and constantly chosing bad builds

guess ill try again next year when it releases

[shut abyss]

you should aim to try to understand the build, basic builds are pretty simple in the end

[little cedar]

got a link to one

meh nvmind

just feels like work at this point. this style of arpg just isn't my stuff

[heady panther]

if vitality supports lingering illusion, it doesn't work even though I have enough spirit? is that normal or a bug? I don't understand

[haughty niche]

i played 2 builds back 2 back that got nerfed lol.
Decided to just pick one that actually got buffed in the patch notes and have been destroying content with poisonous concoction. Levelling was incredibly slow until Gas Arrow though...

[last nymph]

whens a good general rule to know when to replace ur gear? i've been using this lvl 4 staff until lvl 31 and I just don't know what to switch or what gears to replace after upgrading

[halcyon gust]

—
If you fill a socket with a rune can you override it with another rune later?

If you corrupt a socketed item with a Vaal orb can you fill the empty socket with a rune after it has been corrupted?

[hearty ingot]

how to use filter to find what u want exact? (count, if ect...)

[inland sentinel]

Nope

[heady panther]

nevermind, it seems that equipping more than one buff support (that uses spirit) on it "breaks" it

[inland sentinel]

If a rune socket is empty you can only place a rune once

[halcyon gust]

No to both?

[heady panther]

still weird I don't get why

[inland sentinel]

No to 1, yes if it’s empty to 2

[bold wind]

hey guys im level 72 now in endgame and my mana is running out within seconds - whats the most effective way to solve this? im kinda new in POE

[keen peak]

what should i do with this exalted orb something else idk?

[inland sentinel]

What’s your build

[bold wind]

invoker monk ice strike build

@inland sentinel

[inland sentinel]

And how much mana regen have you invested

[wanton arch]

jesus..why does that sound so strong?

[shut abyss]

first check how many mana cost multiplier support gems your main skill has

[topaz junco]

thats up to you, I would

[topaz junco]

because it is, but it also has very dangerous downsides

[waxen magnet]

Hello Everyone! I am a new POE player, i palyed Diablo 3 and 4.

I saw some clips about the Monk in POE2 that looks like an electric jedi, will that build still be viable? Will it be nerfed? I fell in love with the aesthetic

[shut abyss]

is very much alive

[frosty geode]

Hmm. I wonder which passives i can put on herald of ash

[wanton arch]

i mean yes but the damage potential when you got high hp/shield...

[waxen magnet]

(I'm literally choosing which class to pick rn)

[alpine silo]

just got this from a random enemy, looks like its pretty good

[keen peak]

@topaz junco what would you do with that item?

[waxen magnet]

Thanks, is there a website people from POE follow mostly for builds and guides?

[nimble sluice]

I bought a piece of gear with mana leech

[topaz junco]

will it be nerfed? we dont know
will it be viable? for sure

[wanton arch]

Infernalist sounds 100x more fun then Blood Mage

[nimble sluice]

also I have a support gem where bell increases my mana regen by 40%

[bold wind]

is it called mana leech in trade?

[shut abyss]

maxroll is my go to

[nimble sluice]

uh something like % physical damage leech as mana or something

[wanton arch]

with the sheer dps potential, once you mange it properly

[topaz junco]

I...I just said I'd exalt it

[inland sentinel]

First steps, would check how much #% mana cost multiplier you have on your main skill and what lvls they are. +# level of x skill gems can make mana costs increase

[tacit knot]

Can one of the pathfinder concoctions be an attack by itself?

[inland sentinel]

You can also try mana on hit/kill and see if that helps

[trim turret]

Did you have a question?

[nimble sluice]

mana on hit is good too

[waxen magnet]

Thanks, it's the tempest flurry one, right?

Or falling thunder?

[shut abyss]

thats the jedi, though ice strike is quite similiar AND you can swap betweenthem anyway

[keen peak]

@topaz junco is it good?

[topaz junco]

yup, but that node also has downsides so it really depends on what your build is/how you choose to offset it

[frosty geode]

Naaa. Just got happy it dropped lol

[nimble sluice]

I'm a level 78 frost invoker monk so I'm not too far ahead of you @bold wind. Usually in maps I have enough downtime to regen mana and I can drink mana flask and have it recharge

[wanton arch]

well i am a very setup heavy build rn with Bonestorm and corpse...nukes

[bold wind]

Level 19 42 Mana cost

[little cedar]

what lvl does yellow rings start dropping

[wanton arch]

so having cast speed and damage as it charges sounds...fun

[nimble sluice]

I think I have four or five mana nodes

[topaz junco]

I'm not personally aware of any pure phys builds but seems decent

[bold wind]

yeah but right now im drinking in every pack xD

[trim turret]

I mean you should always be on the lookout for something better. I'd be looking at the damage at the top on a weapon. Shouldn't be hard to replace something from such an early level.

[bold wind]

i cant do 1 pack without drinking mana

[nimble sluice]

are you not killing within one or two full rotations of ice strike?

if you were chaining I would understand potentially

[bold wind]

yeah i am

[topaz junco]

they're not restricted to a level, just rng/crafting

[nimble sluice]

I think on average stuff dies within one rotation but I do have crescendo as well so that's kinda cheating

[inland sentinel]

How much is your total mana pool

[nimble sluice]

I sit at uh 900 I think?

[bold wind]

640 is mine

[keen peak]

@topaz junco can u look my stats what u think?

[inland sentinel]

Yeah try to invest a little into either mana leech or mana on hit

[nimble sluice]

I took these mana nodes on the bottom left of this pic

[topaz junco]

?

[gloomy viper]

how does this ritual work?

[inland sentinel]

Pick the path of least resistance

[topaz junco]

they're fine? try to increase your resistances but if stuff is dying and you arent then all good

[gloomy viper]

how bad is having less honor?

[nimble sluice]

choose one and you go through the stairs

very bad

[bold wind]

any armor piece u would advice for that`?

[gloomy viper]

gotcha

[inland sentinel]

Really bad, try to avoid at all costs

[nimble sluice]

I would avoid anything that lessens honor recovery or max honor

[gloomy viper]

what does having more sacred water do?

[inland sentinel]

They’re usually on rings

[shut abyss]

Monk mana problems:
+melee skill
+cost multiplier supports
not using inspiration support
no mana leech/regeneration

[nimble sluice]

you can buy more stuff from merchant

[nimble sluice]

could be buffs, could be relics

[half pasture]

Is there a conversion table for different currencies

[nimble sluice]

currency exchange?

[gloomy viper]

in this case, this one is better?

[nimble sluice]

I would check the rooms after as well

make sure you're not getting funneled into a really bad room

[inland sentinel]

Yeah

[half pasture]

@nimble sluice No like how many regal orbs makes a exalt

[inland sentinel]

But it’s all about strategy

[nimble sluice]

No I mean there's a currency exchange npc in game

[inland sentinel]

Check the furthest rooms and see if they don’t also contain afflictions

[half pasture]

@nimble sluice Can't access it..in act 3

[gloomy viper]

what is golden smoke?

this seems a better penalty lol

[keen peak]

are my stats good for my level?

[nimble sluice]

how do you have so much evasion/es

I wonder if I committed too much into damage nodes

[gloomy viper]

nvm, that was a dumb question

thanks guys

[bold wind]

is it Mana per enemy killed? or is it Leech % of damage dealt?

[nimble sluice]

either would work

[bold wind]

am i doing physical damage?

i thought its mostly elemental

[nimble sluice]

Should be since ice strike only converts 80% phys

mana per enemy killed may be more useful if it's a decent amount

[arctic silo]

is this staff worth 4 orb of augmentation?

[little cedar]

Stuck on this quest. the map is fullyu explored nothing left

[nimble sluice]

probably? orbs of aug are rather common

it's a leveling staff though so it's probably gonna get replaced soon but by that point, you probably made back your 4 orbs of aug

[sudden chasm]

this amulet isnt giving me single point of spirit

[shut abyss]

are you a monk

[sudden chasm]

yea

[shut abyss]

read your ascendancy

[little cedar]

been stuck on this quest for a week. every time i log in i kinda just say fuck it and leav elol

[nimble sluice]

do you have the ascendancy that converts evasion/es to spirit?

that disables spirit on items

[sudden chasm]

F

i just spent 10 ex on this lol

great

[trim turret]

Just run along the outer edge.

[frigid badge]

does basic attack granted by weapon(mace strike) benefits from this passive?

[nimble sluice]

10 ex is crazy

[gloomy viper]

what does a bronze key do?

[nimble sluice]

keys are for rewards at the end of each trial

[terse adder]

hey guys how far do you have to be from party members to get exp?

[craggy gyro]

is it worth to vaal ? im monk, this my first jewel (after one exalted slam which i dont have atm)

[trim turret]

It doesn't break armor without support gems, not sure about AOE.

[gloomy viper]

thanks

[nimble sluice]

I mean vaal is pure gamba

you could lose the gem entirely iirc

or have a good stat be rerolled to a useless one

[vagrant shoal]

Hpw do i reset the first act 2 location? The boss bugged for me

[nimble sluice]

if you wanna risk it then sure but if it's the only one you have, I'd play it safe

[oak galleon]

oh i see you can only salvage items with quality, right?

[nimble sluice]

ctrl click I think?

[nimble sluice]

or with sockets

[clever geode]

does skele archer does poison damage on basic attack?

[craggy gyro]

i just see people recommend vaal'ing jewels for resistances so im not sure. this jewel just seems too good

[oak galleon]

sockets look like they used to right? i havent seen any yet

[trim turret]

Don't think so without support gems.

[frigid badge]

im 100% intrested in increased AoE but unsure if it works for basic attack

[clever geode]

like which

[nimble sluice]

maybe would just wait for a different jewel

[tacit knot]

Is your hits are lucky does that equal much more damage or a little?

[terse adder]

hey guys how far do you have to be from party members to get exp?

[trim turret]

Whichever ones add chance to poison?

[nimble sluice]

especially if it's your first jewel

[south spade]

u have a statue with a bis socket where u need to drop those 2 relics

[nimble sluice]

the statue should be near one of the things you had to activate too

so should be nearby one of the checkpoints since each activation light whatever should be next to a checkpoint

[oak galleon]

so is it worth id'ing everything to salvage?

[nimble sluice]

yeah

you can just talk to the hooded one anyways

one click id

[soft orbit]

ctrl click him

[clever geode]

elemental focus prevents me from lighting them on fire right

[soft orbit]

and it will identify everything

[soft orbit]

igniting yes

with that skill

[oak galleon]

wait

he does it for free?

[soft orbit]

yes

[nimble sluice]

yeah

[clever geode]

so assuming infernal hound with that

[oak galleon]

fuck

[nimble sluice]

the scrolls are useful until you unlock him

then you just spam hooded one for id

[oak galleon]

good to know, thank you -_-

[clever geode]

does 0 chance to ignite

[soft orbit]

I still use scrolls to ID rares in map to clear up space

[soft orbit]

yes

[nimble sluice]

yeah that too, I forget about that

[oak galleon]

well that solves the money issue going forward..

[soft orbit]

once you reach maps you will be swimming in gold

I have 7 million or so

[nimble sluice]

Yeah gold is a non issue unless you plan on respeccing a ton

[cold cargo]

anyone free to help kill a boss rn

[safe onyx]

any one can help me with a2 boss plz

[topaz junco]

#2┃looking-for-group

[sudden chasm]

[warm pasture]

How do you get more circle slots on your skills

[clever geode]

is there a way to move faster when blocking?

[soft orbit]

it is complete

pretty sure it just says that while the portals are open

since it is in progress still despite you completing it

[zinc inlet]

[sudden chasm]

yea i got it, thankss

[fleet portal]

yo can u help me find a body armour a good one worth the value i need it with alot of evasion and energy shield for my monk passive please?

[gloomy viper]

can you get out of a trial and come back? by creating a portal

[frosty geode]

Sweet. Just killed the final act 1 boss and took like no damage lol

[inland sentinel]

Which trial

[soft orbit]

trial of chaos no, trial of sekhema you should be able to return

[gloomy viper]

strengh

[clever geode]

u have to learn to use the market

[gloomy viper]

trying to use the portal, but can't

[inland sentinel]

You can port out of trial of chaos but only in between trials

[clever geode]

for the trial?

[fleet portal]

i can use it just not teh ebst can u help me this last time please?

[gloomy viper]

ya

[clever geode]

yeah u got to use the waypoint

[gloomy viper]

went back to make som es pace

[soft orbit]

there are filters for evasion and energy shield values

[clever geode]

what level are you even

[soft orbit]

as well as gear types and price

[fleet portal]

53

i just want it to have high evasion and energy shield so i can get more spirit from my invoker

[soft orbit]

it is best to do it yourself to learn

[sudden chasm]

wth i the realmgate and why does nothing happend when i put in a waystone and click enter

[gloomy viper]

oh ya, going back you can, but can't use the same portal again

lmfao

[fleet portal]

i just found this lol it might just be enough 😭

[sudden chasm]

exactly what i needed too and im lvl 73 now, go to poe2trade and search the highest evasion body armor for 1 or 2 ex and youll get a good one

[sudden chasm]

that is absolute dogwater if youre trynna use the ascendancy thing for monk, youll get something over 1k evasion from the site

[little cedar]

were do i farm exalted orbs

[fleet portal]

this is the best i can find for my level shall i get it?

[gritty dawn]

Which orb do people use on heavy belt in hopes for headhunter ?

[tepid raptor]

what do you guys think this is worth

[sudden chasm]

one sec lemme once

[soft orbit]

chance

[clever geode]

not bad

[topaz junco]

we dont do price checks

[tepid raptor]

where the price checks at

[soft orbit]

nowhere

[topaz junco]

#price-check📉

[topaz junco]

anywhere, they're a random drop

[soft orbit]

use the trade site to price check yourself

it is a skill to be learned

[sudden chasm]

look at this

[fleet portal]

i only have a small amount of dex tho

[little cedar]

oh lame

how do i put the relics in

[soft orbit]

click the altar and open inventory

[little cedar]

doesn't stay open

[soft orbit]

opposite order then

[little cedar]

doesn't give the option

alpha woes i guess

[fleet portal]

best way to get power charges since this is my current body armour?

[cedar raft]

whats the best class for new solo players

[vague bluff]

what seems to be the vibe between Witchhunter and Gemling?

[azure lava]

Combat frenzy + resonance keystone is popular

[lusty hinge]

You drag them in

[azure lava]

All classes can be played solo. Most people play solo. All classes can use all skills and gear

[fleet portal]

what does resonance keystone do?

[tacit knot]

Are slow immune enemies immune to chronomancers all enemies arw slowed?

[little cedar]

okay i had to hold ALT

weird

worked tho

[azure lava]

Makes you generate power charges instead of frenzy charges

[craggy gyro]

You gotta be f joking me

1k?

[sudden chasm]

get the combat frency from a spirit gem, pair it with the resonance node in the passive tree to get infinite power charges, watch raxxanterax's video on invoker monk levelling build, he explains everything in detail

[craggy gyro]

I paid 3 ex orbs for smth way less and im lvl 60

[azure lava]

Are there enemies that are immune to slow?

[clever geode]

what does this means?
uses 2 charge?

[sudden chasm]

skill issue

[tacit knot]

If enemies aee slowed arentheir projectiles etc also slowed?

[fleet portal]

i understand it but what move do i put it on that will electrocute enemies?

[sudden chasm]

no

[azure lava]

If you consume two, you get the benefit of consuming three. It doesn't increase the amount you actually consume

[sudden chasm]

whats your main skill that you use?

[fleet portal]

tempest flury

[craggy gyro]

Just got myself a 13 dollar discount on this game

[azure lava]

No. If you hold alt over slows it'll tell you more info

[cold cargo]

anyone know how people get “archmage” in their skills

[grave peak]

Just to be sure, this node here is not very useful for me if I want to do a complete Cold and Freeze build, right? Because Freeze or chill is not considered "Hindered", right?

[soft orbit]

it's a spirit gem

[sudden chasm]

idk bruh ive never used that, maybe if you cana add the shock chance support gem to a skill that procs often you could get those power charges often

[azure lava]

It's a spirit gem

[sudden chasm]

i only use 3 skills and im flying through maps rn

[clever geode]

oh so it treat it as using +1 but u just use normal

[fleet portal]

swhat do u use?

[cold cargo]

sorry to ask but how u get spirit gem, ist drop from any mobs or u have to do something for it?

[clear path]

Hello! I found the Rampart Raptor crossbow and am using it on my level 10 mercenary. I'm combining it with the Auto Reload support gem, but it seems like it's not triggering the On Reload effect. Does it not count as reloaded if the clip is full when triggered? This is with Fragementation Rounds.

[sudden chasm]

ice strike, charged staff and tempest bell only

[azure lava]

Hold alt and click on terms if you're not sure. But no, hinder, chill, and freeze are distinct debuffs

[clear path]

Drops, and you get one guaranteed from a sidequest in act 1.

[sudden chasm]

rest are all buffs and supports

[fleet portal]

what do u sue combat frenzy on?

[lusty hinge]

Both

[sudden chasm]

to get charged staff

[grave peak]

well as you can see, I did in the screenshot

[lusty hinge]

Some optional stuff gives spirit uncuts

[fleet portal]

no i mean what skill do u use to get it?

[azure lava]

You can click it and then hover over slow and debuff as well

[sudden chasm]

im always freezing everything with ice strike which is my main damage dealer anyways, that means i got infinite power charges always

[opal geyser]

whats the strongest class?

[grave peak]

tooltipcetion!

[soft orbit]

not how the game works

[sudden chasm]

im using monk and its pretty strong rn endgame

[opal geyser]

already maxed out monk so im hopping to the next class haha

[trim turret]

That isn't a thing.

[azure lava]

All classes can use all skills and gear. There is no best anything. And if there was, we wouldn't know what it is at this point

[fleet portal]

what about in boss fights tho because the boss doesnt get froze very often

[craggy gyro]

43% off yay

Hi everyone and Happy Christmas, I just started PoE 2 and also is my first time playing this type of games, I was searching for a group of people who just started to play like me so we could create a party to play. I also enjoy playing the fighter or as I saw is like the tank.

[trim turret]

What does maxed out mean?

[sudden chasm]

bosses usually dont even hit me once because i freeze them instantly and molest them with tempest bell and charged staff

[opal geyser]

followed the build i was using to a T

[sudden chasm]

watch raxx's video he explains it really well

[trim turret]

All classes can be tanky and do damage. There aren't class roles.

[fleet portal]

well for em after i freeze a boss and they unfreeze it takes alot more buildup to refreeze them do yk why?

[late condor]

what counts as a spell? I see some passive nodes that increase spell damage

[gritty dawn]

Why are mirrors so valuable?

[trim turret]

Any skill that says it's a spell as opposed to an attack.

[azure lava]

It'll say if a gem is a spell or not in its tags when you read its description

[lusty hinge]

It*s a dupe

[nimble sluice]

I think it's a mechanic to prevent perma cc

same happens to stagger

[dawn sandal]

I have this ATTRITION - but I think I am not getting buff ...
how this actually works ?

[native lagoon]

if i have both elemental pen and an elemental curse, will does pen first lower the monsters resist or does the curse apply first

[nimble sluice]

bar turns red and it's harder to fill up that bar

[sudden chasm]

yeah once you proc an ailment on an enemy they get increased threshold towards its buildup, which is why i delete them instantly when theyre frozen so i dont have to deal with them for long

[lusty hinge]

How it says it works

[gritty dawn]

I get it creates a copy ? But why’s that so good that doesn’t seem thhat good to me

Like it creates another exact item of what you have

Sweet

[soft orbit]

because people create perfect items and then you can duplicate that item

[gritty dawn]

That’s worth 300 divine ?

[soft orbit]

yes

[lusty hinge]

Imagine the most insane gear piece in the game

[trim turret]

Because you've likely never seen an item that is worth using a mirror on. They're also the rarest item in the game.

[nimble sluice]

Mhm

[azure lava]

In poe1, people would create insanely good items and then other people would give then a mirror plus a "mirror fee" for them to duplicate the item for them

[soft orbit]

items so good you would never sell it, people pay you to be able to use a mirror on it

[dawn sandal]

does it mean that after they are there with me for 34 sec then this buff applies and culling strike hits them at certain % of hp ?

[lusty hinge]

Now you have 2

[soft orbit]

no like it says it's 1% more damage every 2 seconds and if 34 seconds have passed you can cull them

[lusty hinge]

Plus absolutely insane rarity

[soft orbit]

it is in plain text

you need to right click the icon on your skill menu to activate it

[dawn sandal]

how do I cull them then ?

[soft orbit]

by hitting them

[dawn sandal]

or it does on its own ?

[nimble sluice]

just check what culling strike is

[trim turret]

Culling just means the enemy will die if they're under a certain % of health.

[azure lava]

Read the yellow text, it basically lays it all out

[soft orbit]

a hit will cull if they are below a health threshold depending on their rarity

[nimble sluice]

cull itself is an execute below a hp threshold

[azure lava]

Hold alt and click keywords you want to read more on

[haughty niche]

unlike poe1, the cull is calculated before your hit does damage now.

So it might check, not be in cull range, then you deal damage and bring them to cull range. Meaning you need to do an extra attack

[muted quiver]

where do i trade divine for exalted? someone said 1 is worth 72

[lusty hinge]

You cull them after at least 34 seconds of fighting them

[nimble sluice]

currency exchange npc or trade

[fleet portal]

where do ig et combat frenzy

[haughty niche]

you cna use the ingame currency exchange

[cedar raft]

is taking "Unearth" decent for a Sorceress?

[haughty niche]

available in act1 cruel onwards

[cedar raft]

for minions

[nimble sluice]

you can look up all skills rather than class specific

[trim turret]

Not if you aren't investing in minions.

[azure lava]

It can be if it fits your build

All classes can use all skills and and gear

[dawn sandal]

thanks for that - promise only 1 more -
why I am having this? - I don't have it in skill panel... or any item as additional skill

[muted quiver]

makes sense thank you

[azure lava]

Combat frenzy is a spirit gem

[trim turret]

Isn't it a support gem?

[fleet portal]

ooh

[nimble sluice]

it's a spirit gem not a support gem

[dawn sandal]

let me check

[last tundra]

Is there a PoE2 Troubleshooting/support channel? I'm having issues with constant crashing and youtube fixes havent helped.

[soft orbit]

it's from plague bearer

spirit gem

you collect poison damage then can detonate the stored damage later

[sudden chasm]

its in the passive tree just put it in the search bar there

[dawn sandal]

this ?

[soft orbit]

nope

different one

a skill itself

[fleet portal]

thanks, found it

[soft orbit]

not a support

[dawn sandal]

I don't have skill gem in skill panel called that way - 1000% sure

[fallen void]

I think I just accidentally progressed to cruel, I defeated doryani and was clearing the rest of the map then travel to present was gonna refill my flasks.

[ruby smelt]

can i play with other players together or is it solo?

[nimble sluice]

yeah

you can make parties if you didn't select SSF (solo self found) on character creation

[ruby smelt]

im new to game

looks so good i want to play

[soft orbit]

act 1 cruel is arguably easier than act 3 so I wouldn't worry

[dawn sandal]

it is this - when I REMOVE it I don't have it .... hmmm

[radiant dirge]

Which should I?

[fallen void]

did I not just miss on some bosses? I left a lot of open quests

[gritty dawn]

Is there a website I can use to see which affliction means what in these trials ?

[fleet portal]

btw whats teh best support mods for ice strike?

[devout scarab]

i did elemental ailment

[soft orbit]

you can return later, not a big deal

[fallen void]

thanks!

[gritty dawn]

Like no idea what black smoke is

[haughty niche]

read the grey text right below it

[lusty hinge]

Why?

[soft orbit]

does it not say

[ruby smelt]

anyone plays in eu server?

[gritty dawn]

I don’t see it it until I start the trial? I wanna know before selecting

[fallen void]

Chaos trials, some side boss in Present-Vaal. i didnt finish

[soft orbit]

you can definitely see it prior

[nimble sluice]

uh ice bite, primal armanent, cold infusion, martial tempo, crescendo I would say

[sudden chasm]

buddy everything i got is from raxx's video, he's got a build planner in that vids description where hes put everything, the skill tree, the skill gems, support gems, the gear, everything, i can send you a link to the vid if u want

[fleet portal]

yea send it

[nimble sluice]

send here so I can peek too, I wonder how others build (I homebrew my frost build)

[trim turret]

Yes it has a little tab that says plague burst and everything.

[devout scarab]

im on the travel to matlan waterways quest if someone wants to play the campaign its gettin a little hard by myself

[nimble sluice]

#2┃looking-for-group

[sudden chasm]

https://youtu.be/rtywy8D7Wrs?si=_Tb7zFOQBnrOTnlF https://youtu.be/1Z2XKDbNKIU?si=b9iMQQBMvxfzBK79 theres one which is the levelling build and the other is the endgame build which uses the node in ascendancy which gives damage reduction based on the body armor evasion

[azure lava]

Yeah, it says "explode in a plague burst on death"

[nimble sluice]

also

[dawn sandal]

yeah - so they will explode when they get plague?

[haughty niche]

they explode after dying with plague on them

[azure lava]

The yellow text explains it

[dawn sandal]

oke

thanks

just making sure guys

sorry if I am bothering to much 🙂

I am old

[haughty niche]

i tried using the plague thing but it was pretty shit. I might have just used it wrong though.

[soft orbit]

using it on the corpsewade boots it's frying

[azure lava]

You're good. The easiest answer to most questions here is "hold alt and click on keywords", "read", or both

[haughty niche]

If you want poison tech, take a super low level Contagion skill gem (low int req that way), and it is litereally just a much stronger Pathfinder Ascendency lol.
It proliferates ALL poisons on enemies (all chaos dots really) on death

[nimble sluice]

oh that's a very interesting build I should try it

I full sent crit instead

[sudden chasm]

it is, im obliterating everything in my path with the two heralds with ice strike and charged staff its insane

[nimble sluice]

well I can't wait to be god when I get home from vacation lol

[sudden chasm]

thats what he does in the endgame build he changes up a lotta stuff to pick up crit nodes and base stat nodes to actually help with equipping gear in the endgame

[clever geode]

lols the do all element dmg staff

[dawn sandal]

the point why I am having this on my poison grenades is that when I explode them with whatever I do later - I get extra one more explosion of that plague burst if I am not wrong...

[nimble sluice]

ah excellent then

I love crit so much, it's funny

[tacit knot]

How much extra passive points does a pathfinder get? It says 5 but the node before that is also called passive pointd

[soft orbit]

6

[dawn sandal]

but now when I am testing - on lower lvls it was okay - but now its not - explosion is to weak... so this has to go

[soft orbit]

one travel, 5 from the full node

[boreal spruce]

Can you slot runes into sockets after corrupting the gear?

[jaunty cargo]

hello friends quick question does HC SSF chars go to SSF standard if they die or do they get voided?

[tacit knot]

Thabks!

[soft orbit]

yes

[soft orbit]

someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe hardcore now goes to softcore?

[boreal spruce]

Thanks!

[dawn sandal]

guys does blind work ??? I blind these mofos but they still coming to me and they know where I am ...

[dark skiff]

Hello, guys. Wanted to know. Are there any inherent differences between classes besides a couple of changes on the skill tree and their ascendancies? Like, do they have different stats or something?

[opaque stone]

Not what Blind does

[dawn sandal]

what he does ?

[fresh ivy]

i just game back from a trip to #2┃general and #2┃early-access , and WOW this channel is so much more civilized 🙂

[dawn sandal]

x

xd

[opaque stone]

It just reduces their Accuracy and Evasion Rating (Making it harder for them to hit you, and easier for you to hit them)

20% less of each

[jaunty cargo]

so anyone knows if dead SSF HC chars to Standard SSF?

[dawn sandal]

ahhhh

[fresh ivy]

yes, HC goes to normal.... there is currently no migration from SSF to non-SSF

[vapid violet]

differences are the start pos. on the passive tree and what ascendancies are available to them

[tacit knot]

How much damage increase should you expect if your damage turns from normal to lucky with a node

[soft orbit]

if it's the lighting damage, a lot

[haughty niche]

in poe1, Hardcore characters that died went to their parent league. So HCSSF should have gone to SSF.
HC Standard should go to Standard.

HC Temp League would go to Standard.

[dark skiff]

I suppose witch and sorc don't have many differences in terms of passive nodes, right? Of course, ascendancies aside.

[soft orbit]

it depends on the roll range of your damage currently

[fresh ivy]

^^ and these are big differences... especially the start point on the tree

[vapid violet]

they both start at the same spot but im not sure if theres any differences i dont think so but i havnt tried witch yet

[tacit knot]

Wow how so i know lol

[haughty niche]

there is very minor differences in the start of the tree

[fresh ivy]

witch oddly changes the meaning of some nodes on the tree to include minion-damage... otherwise they are only different in ascendencies

[haughty niche]

like the first couple available nodes change based on starting class

[dark skiff]

Alright, alright. Thanks! This pretty much means that I can make it work then.

[fresh ivy]

i would say you can pretty much play any witch/sorc build on either witch or sorc.... with the obvious difference that ascendencies are way different

[dark skiff]

Well, the build I want to go with the witch doesn't really benefit from any of her ascendancies, so I was considering making a witch out of the sorc because I find her ascendancies to be much more useful.

[idle fern]

Looking for anyone who has a Radiant Grief helmet they can pass over

cant find it anywhere and i cant even get a white lace hood to use a chance orb on

i made new characters just trying to get a white lace hood

rarest item in the game apparently

[desert sedge]

Rule 6. No trading, begging, asking for 'loans', giveaways, tips for services, etc for any game. See #trading for alternatives.

[tacit knot]

Do you guys think shattering concoction inflicts chill

[zenith skiff]

can i redo my ascendancy

[haughty niche]

Cold hits in general apply chill.

[obsidian meteor]

What are the lava wings I see on people? Is that a cosmetic (and if so, which one?) or is it like demon form or something?

[haughty niche]

you cannot change ascendency choice, but you can change which nodes you allocated within an ascendency for 5x gold respec price

[zenith skiff]

😢

guess we gonna make chrono mancer fire sorc work

[haughty niche]

dont worry literally everyone else also hates it

[nimble sluice]

you should be able to change it if you complete a trial or something (this is an idea not actual mechanic)

[wanton dock]

So, what incentives are there to be running T15 maps over T14? Except experience.

[pulsar lantern]

got any answer since then?

[haughty niche]

there will be a LOT of push back from the community if they don't end up letting us respec asc

[haughty niche]

this is how poe1 worked

[nimble sluice]

oh cool

[haughty niche]

you could rerun the easy lab and change it at the plinth

would still require you to respec all the points too as a cost

[hasty osprey]

is this good?

[haughty niche]

but in poe2 they haven't added this feature. And they even said several game designers were against the idea. But I feel community would win on this one

[haughty niche]

its alright. just niche. Only real issue is rings are a massive source of stats in this game so you need a REAL good reason to want to use that

[zenith wedge]

i cant hand this over to servi for some reason ?!?! or is it even ment to be handed over to servi ?

[haughty niche]

higher ilvl loot? idk go to #2┃after-acts-help

[strong crown]

does this applies to boss aswell?

[zenith skiff]

how can i get tankier as fire sorc in act 2

im not dying but getting absolutely melted by after deatgh effects

[fringe sun]

can you dye your armor?

[soft orbit]

no

only replace with an mtx cosmetic

[fringe sun]

mtx?

[soft orbit]

micro transaction

[proud marten]

what are good levelling uniques for invoker monk?

[fringe sun]

ah thanks

[soft orbit]

tho they're not so micro in poe in my experience

[trim turret]

Uniques aren't generically good.

[proud marten]

there are still good uniques for levelling

[trim turret]

Should.

[fresh ivy]

did you do all the optional bosses for their bonuses? what is your current resist profile?

[zenith skiff]

i think so. it looks like all of the icons are greyed out in act 1 and 2

[fresh ivy]

the only thing you need for leveling invoker monk is a freeze build... it's ridicilously OP... https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/grgr2013

[zenith skiff]

theres like 1-2 chest icons tha arent greyed out

[fresh ivy]

what is the level requirement of your gear? are you upgrading it? have plenty of ES?

there are so many answers to your questions that we need some more details to help... can you post a cap of your character sheet with resistances/health/ES/etc

[zenith skiff]

yes, one momenty

[fringe sun]

how do you equip cosmetics?

[fresh ivy]

click on this little triple lines menu in the bottom left and choose cosmetics

[fringe sun]

thanks

[thin jackal]

what do u think about the endgames?

[zenith skiff]

im def killing things fast enough and melting bosses that dont have fire res

[simple patio]

is there a lv requirement for the 3rd ascendancy?

[cold cargo]

how do i get another slot to put gem passive in my skills?

atm i have 2 only how others get 4

[haughty niche]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Ascendancy_class#Ascendancy

[simple patio]

you start getting udgrades around act 3

[thin jackal]

just play through campaign, you get them alot

just logged on and got a level 3 gem

[fossil dirge]

Hello, can i ask that how to show poe 2 rich presence on discord ? I just see poe 1 rich presence

[compact mountain]

why should i startb a new char ? isnt it smarter to grin on ur main and get rare items?

[thin jackal]

to level it lol

[compact mountain]

lvling u meannjust bc u weant another high lvl char ?

[thin jackal]

well yeah

different style of play

[compact mountain]

hmm

im struggling enough with one char ahah

[winged mauve]

Are there any good leveling/endgame builds that don't require aiming? I'm on console and I can't aim and cast because both actions are performed by my thumb

[compact mountain]

i also dont udnerstand how i get resistances up it rly hurt my build but i dont get items with resistencys

[thin jackal]

the moment ur build comes online, everything will be a breeze till maps

[craggy gyro]

So I'm curious

What classes there are

[thin jackal]

monk is my go to for chillin

[craggy gyro]

I'm still like 9gb into a 90gb download on steam

Do they have a necromancer?

[thin jackal]

its a melee aoe kinda thing, as long as you hit something, you hit everything in the area

[craggy gyro]

Fucking bots

[haughty niche]

there are 6 available at the moment, with 2 ascendencies each.

Theres 6 more coming at an undetermined date.

For release, there should be 12 classes with 3 ascendencies each.

Ascendencies are like subclasses

<@&174997701513969665>

[thin jackal]

those subclasses are unique to that class, however everyclass can use any skill if you meet requirments

[craggy gyro]

So which ones are there at the moment

[crimson ermine]

my job application

[thin jackal]

so ultimately find a "ascendancy" you like the most

[haughty niche]

ty

[crimson ermine]

[oak galleon]

uh, i killed an altar, what are favors?

[haughty niche]

Monk, Ranger, Warrior, Mercenary, Sorceress, Witch.

[oak galleon]

and what is the tribute

[craggy gyro]

Would sorcerer or witch have necromancer as a sub class?

[haughty niche]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Ascendancy_class heres a list of the subclasses and stuff. click on the icons to see what they can do

The Witch has Infernalist which has some minion support

[little cedar]

i have not had one usable drop of gear in 20 lvls. lvl 32 and final part of act 2 and ti feels like Dark Souls with a difficulty mod

[thin jackal]

and u have a demon transformation

[little cedar]

not fun

[craggy gyro]

Or if I wanted a horde of undead to do my bidding I'll need to wait

[craggy gyro]

Interesting

[simple patio]

i checked the site but it didnt mentioned anything

[haughty niche]

you can do that with infernalist for sure, but i think Necromancer would be witch's third ascendency whenever those come

[craggy gyro]

So how many new classes do they plan to add to this game?

[thin jackal]

witch is just diablo necromancer but better

[haughty niche]

6 more classes

[thin jackal]

12

[little cedar]

feel like the main part of this game is using the trade website

by far

[thin jackal]

ever played warframe?

[little cedar]

like that's the actual boss

and content

[haughty niche]

Duelest, Marauder, Shadow, Druid, Templar, and Huntress i believe are the other 6 classes they haven't added.

[craggy gyro]

And how many cosmetic micro transactions do I need to deal with

[thin jackal]

its like 60 bucks for a cosmetic armor set

[haughty niche]

The only MTX are cosmetic. Besides stash space.

[simple patio]

im lv 58 and killed the ascenday quest giver again but didnt drop a challenge that has ascendy points do i just keep on tring to get a new drop?

[haughty niche]

Stash space you can drop $30 and be set for life pretty much

[craggy gyro]

Do they try and nag you about these MTX

[soft orbit]

no

they run sales every 3 weeks that is it

[tulip barn]

Oi quick question global physical dmg increas on gem in the passive tree increas phys spell dmg as well ?

[soft orbit]

you could play entirely without paying if you wanted to

[haughty niche]

The only nagging ive gotten in poe1 over a decade was just "mystery box is on sale" the 1st time they go on sale and then never again

[soft orbit]

though without stash space it is significantly more annoying

[little cedar]

Any way you can helpe me progress? stuck in act 2

[haughty niche]

the stashes also are shared between games. Not the items you put in them, but the stashes themselves.

[craggy gyro]

So I'm also curious of another thing

[little cedar]

the mob density is too high in this last map

[thin jackal]

what part?

[haughty niche]

same for all mtx (though a lot hasn't transfered to poe2 yet, they are prioritizing game first)

[little cedar]

the moving caravan

[thin jackal]

oh yuh i gotchu, add @Minhael

[craggy gyro]

Does this game let you save your login? Or does you need to sign in with every attempt to play this game

[soft orbit]

steam logs in automatically, standalone will save it unless you switch networks

[craggy gyro]

Does the login prompt allow copy and paste for those using password managers?

[little cedar]

i think im on my last legs i really tried comming back 3 times

[soft orbit]

believe you can paste into it but not certain

[little cedar]

now im 100% dead stuck

[craggy gyro]

So I'm curious of one thing

[thin jackal]

shit happens man, i was stuck too, whats ur ign

[little cedar]

every time i respawn

i die

the mobs are too much

[cold cargo]

can anyone explain what and how exposure works in basic english

[soft orbit]

the Dreadnaught is a killer area

[haughty niche]

I saw some complaints for people with agressive VPNs that autoswap every 5 minutes, those people needed to log in every time. Forget if that changed. But haven't seen any discussion on that in poe2. I play steam and its just always autosigned in

[craggy gyro]

I redeemed a code on their website and then used the code the site gave me for steam

[soft orbit]

reduces an enemies resistance meaning you deal more damage

[soft orbit]

you will automatically login with steam then

[cold cargo]

applies to any attack u do?

[soft orbit]

no separate login required

[nimble sorrel]

how i go there its not connected

[craggy gyro]

Sound's good to me

[little cedar]

am I supposed to be using poe2trade for every item slot?

i dont have that many orbs

all my items are like from lvl 8

[soft orbit]

it is applied to the mob ( for a duration usually) so yes any attack of that element will benefit

[craggy gyro]

So what do you guys think of instant gaming?

I got my code for this game there

[soft orbit]

I would not purchase from unofficial retailers

[haughty niche]

if you are having a lot of issues it can help to drop ~1ex on a few pieces

I found the weapon is what you feel the most for all builds

[little cedar]

i have weapon but thats about it

[thin jackal]

honestly, i got through dreadnought by just dark soulsing it

[haughty niche]

avoid discussion of 3rd party reselling things

ive never heard of it personally so can't tell what it is

[little cedar]

at times i die in a split second from ranged mobs on another platform

[thin jackal]

keep trying until you get enough levels to get more damage to kill more thing and repeat

[craggy gyro]

What about more official partnered sites like green man gaming

[thin jackal]

it took me a fat 30 mins to clear dreadnought, but it worked out in the end

then i dominated the rest of content

[little cedar]

game gets easier?

[haughty niche]

idk where ggg sells to.

[thin jackal]

imo yeah

depends when ur build gets going

[little cedar]

it doesn't

[thin jackal]

when i got charged staff for monk, game turned into astro bot

[little cedar]

how do i get power charges for that

[craggy gyro]

So this game is in early access?

[haughty niche]

Once i got gas arrow in cruel difficulty i was doing pretty well. Got a lot easier. Im in maps now and im 1shotting packs/rares/bosses.

[thin jackal]

same going for witch when you get infernal flying head thing

[soft orbit]

the only retailers I'm aware are official are GGG, steam and epic games

[haughty niche]

yes. For likely ~6months minimum.

[thin jackal]

combat frenzy + resonance passive, is the best way

[haughty niche]

the EA will go up until game release

[solemn valley]

why are the looking for group voice channels locked?

[craggy gyro]

So if my account is able to play the early access version do I just get the released version?

[thin jackal]

if you're playing monk, i can show you ropes on what you need to focus on

[craggy gyro]

Or do I need to pay a second time for the release version

[haughty niche]

the game will actually be free

[soft orbit]

the release version is free

[haughty niche]

just the early access is payed

Your account will carry over

[thin jackal]

worth it

[soft orbit]

you are paying for early access but you also get the value of 30$ of ingame mtx currency anyway

[craggy gyro]

Wait it's gonna be free to play...ewww

[haughty niche]

Poe1 is f2p

they don't do p2w at all

[lament salmon]

do you guys complete everything in cruel as in first 3 acts? or u skip stuff and only get the permanent buffs?

[kind falcon]

Bruh my game keeps crashing whenever I enter the next area during the loading screen. I've reinstalled all drivers + bios + clean reinstalled the game files.

[craggy gyro]

Usually there is such aggressive monetization on free to play lol

[soft orbit]

just buffs but up to you

well there is not here

[haughty niche]

The characters will likely be moved to a "beta" league where the whole beta's economy will sit in. Then Standard will probably be fresh with new characters. Then their leagues (seasonal content) require creation of a new character / fresh start to play.

[soft orbit]

stashes are extremely useful but they also have extreme diminishing returns in usefulness

[haughty niche]

there won't be. The only things you can buy for money are cosmetics and stash space

They already confirmed they are doing the same model as poe1.

[zenith skiff]

bro why the fuck do my maps reset when im trying to find shit

[soft orbit]

30$ of stashes is enough to play for 10,000 hours comfortably

[regal torrent]

so do we know anything about the other six classes? I take it that doesnt mean another 6 characters, but some variant of the characters we see on the gallows at the start we get to choose from? (although it does look like they could squeeze another two on either end if they wanted to 😛 )

[lusty hinge]

No, these games are obe of the best f2p period, there's a reason they stuck around and stay relevant in charts

[craggy gyro]

Wait so what's the point of early access...this reminds me of the star wars outlaw early access where you get told BTW delete your save file

[haughty niche]

instances close after 7-15 minutes of inactivity

[zenith skiff]

ughhhhhhhhhh

[soft orbit]

refining the game?

[haughty niche]

for them to actually test shit before release. Also id be lying if i said it wasn't to get some money from people buying into it

[soft orbit]

it is for their benefit

[craggy gyro]

Isn't the point of early access as a paying player is to get ahead of the others a bit

[soft orbit]

not yours

no

[vital crane]

Lol

[haughty niche]

only when the company doing it are greedy shits

[soft orbit]

path of exile is a game built around seasonal resets regardless

[viral cargo]

wtf i think my temple is bugged? im in act3 cruel, there is no door in entire first map and the map shows lvl 42???

[soft orbit]

getting ahead is a non starter

[next olive]

what do i do here? just ignore it ?

[craggy gyro]

So basically we are paying to be a beta tester

[vital crane]

Yes

[soft orbit]

yes

[haughty niche]

yeah even if our characters WERE useable in standard on launch, everyone would still start a new char for a new league

[soft orbit]

you seem to have a lot of preconceived notions of a game you also know nothing about

[fresh ivy]

no, you paid for GGG currency.... you elected to be a beta tester

[fresh ivy]

that is the altar to vaal corrupt an item, same as vaal orb... you can use it on an item and see what it does.. but i woul;dn't use it on anything critically important

[haughty niche]

thats also true, you got the full $ value of the points you can spend on stash tabs or cosmetics alongside beta access.
Unless you got the code from someone else

[next olive]

sweet ty

[fading yoke]

Is this good or just junk?

[soft orbit]

they got the code from some reseller it seems so doubt they get points with it

[inland sentinel]

You’re playing a functional game that is only half of what it will be

[soft orbit]

but that is what happens when you bypass usual channels

[inland sentinel]

At least you have something

[fresh ivy]

you need to get there by going through the previous zone

[thin jackal]

this is all pretty typical in games

diablo 4 did similar things

[trim turret]

That's AAA garbage doing things as a marketing stunt.

[fresh ivy]

if someone bought a code from a reseller, they got ripped off..the "code" itself has zero value

[soft orbit]

I don't think GGG or poe are very typical honestly

[thin jackal]

seeing from how we can redo act 1-3 on cruel makes it incompatible with a full game release

[lusty hinge]

You're not even paying for the access either, you get a solid boost of coins to get stash tabs at least and the access is sort of a nice bonus

And eceryone needs them staah tabs

[inland sentinel]

Early access in Poe is not just pay a few days early to play the game like in d4

You have a full game

Some things yet to come out

[viral cargo]

im already in there, i know, but there was no door out and the map showed lvl 42 even tho i entered from cruel act3... i just reset the map, it still shows lvl 42 in big map/quest view, but it shows 62 top right now o.O

[thin jackal]

otherwise you would have access to areas you cant go in because of level requirments, quest items that cant be removed, etc

[fresh ivy]

so you dont think Diablo 3 was a full game release? because it was basically the same... do the campaign, then do it on inferno tier, and so on

[little cedar]

i have now died more times on this map than on any fromsoft game lol

by a lot

[thin jackal]

i was a kid when d3 was released, i however was EA for d4

[little cedar]

do i have to kite mobs to new platforms

[thin jackal]

so i know nothing about how diablo 3 started off

[soft orbit]

cruel acts don't disqualify it from being a full game

[thin jackal]

diablo 4 locked you to a specific region of the map until like act....2? then when it was full game they just had you restart

[soft orbit]

in terms of available content to play through it has more than most releases

[oak galleon]

where do you get your points for buying the game?

[fresh ivy]

@thin jackal anyway, this is in early access... and they were very clear about what early access is.... they repeated acts 1-3 as cruel so that they could focus on endgame content.. the 1.0 release will have acts 4-6, along with all the other classes.. some of this will be added during EA

[little cedar]

glad im not alone,
https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1h91urc/hard_stuck_in_the_dreadnought/

this is utter insanity

[vital crane]

Yeah dreadnought is hard

[little cedar]

i can' tmove forward 1 foot

[viral cargo]

i never had probs on dreadnought, idk why, but i have a lot of dmg

[inland sentinel]

You level it up same way with 6 acts

[lusty hinge]

Not really, I think we'll be able to continue the story but probably not recieve any bonuses we took now

[inland sentinel]

And you have an end game

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar dreadnought is certainly a test of where you are... when you get a good build tuned out, it's pretty easy... but before then, it's grueling along with the boss

[inland sentinel]

That is a full game

[little cedar]

i spent my orbs on uniques

[haughty niche]

dreadnought is like... the enemy types are harder, its a small step up in difficulty, and the layout is just constant chokepoints that make you take a lot of hits

[little cedar]

i have nothing left

i think im done and have to reroll

[viral cargo]

i think for every class or build type there will be a few points in campaign where you have to rethinkg something or adjust your playstyle a bit to opponents, but dreadnought wasnt like that for me

[fresh ivy]

most people are stuck because of their gem build and passive spec, not gear

[little cedar]

i dont have gold to respec

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar have you looked at maxroll.gg for a build?

[little cedar]

i dont have the gold to go back

[haughty niche]

id say passives have almost 0 to do with how you do in the game.

gear is a MASSIVE problem for most people

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar you can go to an earlier zone to farm gear and items

[haughty niche]

and your gem combos can make a large difference too

[little cedar]

i havn't had a yellow drop in 4 hours

is that supposed to be fun?

[craggy gyro]

Do I get a cool skin for being part of the beta lol

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar all you are doing is stating your defeated attitude ... why are you here? how can we help you

[little cedar]

what zone

[little cedar]

i can do the whole 2nd job thing but what act

1?

maybe farm werewolf boss

[lusty hinge]

I was helping a guy who had a full lightning sorc build, but all his supports were for fire 🤔

[fresh ivy]

if you are stuck at dreadnaut, go farm Keth

[little cedar]

oik

[fresh ivy]

you can control-click any node on the map to get a menu to "reset" it

[thin jackal]

how to get good, die till you suceed

[viral cargo]

i have at least 4 per hour, prob much more. rarity increase mods help a lot and it will go up in higher levels too. also, buy a good weapon for 1 exalt on trade website and that will probably change a lot

[little cedar]

thats what i spent my orb on

it was a unique staff

[haughty niche]

I have yet to find a single good weapon off the ground / crafting in my 110 hours of playtime.
Ive gotten EVERY good weapon from vendor and trade

[inland sentinel]

Same

[trim turret]

You're assuming you need rares for it to be good gear you should absolutely 100% be looking for magic items with mods that are actually useful to you. 6 bad mods isn't better than 2 good ones.

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar i rerolled after understanding the game and completed act 1 AND 2 in a little over 6 hours on a freeze monk in crap gear... so recognize you don't need uniques, a weapon might help, but you don't need uber gear... you need to learn the game and specs (or follow one)

[little cedar]

okay ill reroll

[fresh ivy]

if you want to reroll.. i have a FULL unedited 3 hour act 1 freeze monk video and guide you can learn from

if you want to play monk

[little cedar]

im gemling

[lusty hinge]

I got like 15 good weps off the ground (not counting the crafting) in about 350h or so

[wooden lava]

btw, a good rare is better than a unique 99% of the time

[lusty hinge]

But I think it's a bit lucky

[fresh ivy]

i dont have a merc guide, but there are plenty out there, goto maxroll.gg

[trim turret]

Yes. Uniques serve a specific purpose, they aren't automatically good.

[little cedar]

yeah i was killing very slow with grenades so switched to this Pillar build

[trim turret]

I think that's what @little cedar did. Bought uniques for a build without knowing WHY you use them.

[little cedar]

the merc chat in this discord said its op from lvl 1

they probably have gear from a lvl 100 farmer

[fresh ivy]

no

lol

[trim turret]

Nothing is OP from level 1. You got trolled.

[fresh ivy]

understanding the game is OP

uhm.. EVERY class is OP from lefvel 1

you just need to learn how to play this game

[little cedar]

yeah im using the build they said

but its doing 1/100th the dmg

[inland sentinel]

You can use the most meta build in the game but you still need to put in the work

[trim turret]

And like I said earlier, that build is expensive and for late game.

[fresh ivy]

I have now played 3 classes through act 1 in 3hr 30m each, in crap gear, INTENTIONALLY throwing away good drops and dying 0-3 times... (warrior, witch, monk).... currently trying sorc

[little cedar]

thats not what they said

[gritty dawn]

How do people do the trial carries I thought you couldn’t enter when someone enters or starts it

[lusty hinge]

Well, if your gear is decent and your skills as well everyone is op tbh, at least you get a very smooth campaign

[fresh ivy]

@gritty dawn trials can be completed in a group

[inland sentinel]

They can tp to you just before you kill the final boss

[little cedar]

my gear sucks other than weapon

i gotta use trade i guess

[fresh ivy]

you dont need to trade

because you dont need gear to do the campaign

[lusty hinge]

Running around at lvl 35 with a level 5 stick will certainly be 'challenging'

[fresh ivy]

you can do it in crap blues

[trim turret]

And why is the weapon awesome? Do you know what makes that build work?

[little cedar]

ya

[little cedar]

i die if i step 1 foot forward on dreanaught atm.

seems like a gear thing

[fresh ivy]

i understand you are having trouble with the game

[icy nymph]

Any fireball/icewall user here ? Would the pierce from this node work on all the fireballs ?

[trim turret]

It's a stat stacker. Meaning every piece of gear possible needs to have attributes on top of all the other mods you need to give you life and resists.

[little cedar]

yeah i gotta use the trade site to get that

ill try later

[austere ice]

#i try to add a friend who is playing on PSN. I play on PC. How do I add them on here?
