[trim turret]

I would think so.

[solar gate]

Manor ramparts anyone?

[trim turret]

Can you not invite them from the social menu? I haven't tried adding a console player yet.

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar what do you want? we can give you a build guide, we can give you advice if you share some info about your build.... but just saying you are stuck doesn't really do antyhing

[worldly elbow]

would anyone like to fight napuatzi with me

[gentle ore]

do skills from ascendancies automatically increase sockets as they level? or is there another reason why my lesser jeweler won't increase a socket into Ancestral Spirits?

[little cedar]

i want to kill the map

[austere ice]

I cant even add him as a friend. WHenever I type his name to add him, it wont work.

[fresh ivy]

great, then get good

[worldly elbow]

she is beating me up

[lusty hinge]

Yes

[trim turret]

Those increase as you level up.

[gentle ore]

ah gotcha thank you

[little cedar]

I die when I step a few feet forward I'm not sure if player skill is the issue atm

[trim turret]

What are your resists right now?

[lusty hinge]

Are you adding the account descriptor or his character name?

[slate bolt]

Hi I’m new I’m just downloading it, any tips or what class to play?

[hushed sage]

Is there any specific number of resistances and or required dps for each act for the campaign? I am currently at the end of act two and I am dying fairly fast

[lusty hinge]

whichever looks cool for you or fits your playstyle, any class can use any skills and gear

[trim turret]

Reading is your best skill in POE. No joke. Read items, read skills, read the tutorials.

[lusty hinge]

and sometimes listening too

[trim turret]

Ooof. I'd fix those before anything else.

[austere ice]

account. that was the mistake.

[lusty hinge]

oooh boy..

[little cedar]

how do I fix that

[lusty hinge]

yep, you need an ign

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar there are hundreds of thousands of people who have made it through the deadnaut... you have the tools in the game.. you need to learn to use them

[little cedar]

i'm sorry but this is too vague

how do i fix the resists

[trim turret]

Item vendors, picking up blue and yellow gear and identifying it, adding runes to armor.

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar start with your gem-setup, then look at your passive tree...

what skills are you running?

[little cedar]

i have 200 gold left to respec

[little cedar]

ice strike and ice bomb

[fresh ivy]

@cruw you can earn unlimited gold by just goingn back to a previous zone and farming

[trim turret]

Respeccing won't fix resists. That's a gear issue.

[fresh ivy]

but telling me you have no gold does literally nothing

[misty grotto]

Hi all, just started playing and have just beat Beira, is head of the winter wolf a one time use item?

[weak vortex]

Wait which boss is the Dreadnaught?

[lusty hinge]

yes

[trim turret]

Yes, a one time permanent upgrade for that character.

[misty grotto]

Thank you!

[little cedar]

i think i just messed up by trying endgame build early and then people memeing in merc chat

oh well

[misty grotto]

Thank you!

[weak vortex]

When you say you're dying when you step forward to which attack specifically

[little cedar]

50 mobs jumping on me

[fresh ivy]

okay, this may be... but you can just fix it..... go back a few zones and farm... if you dont want to do that, then reroll and try another build.. it will go much faster the second time

[lusty hinge]

Following a build is not really 'playing' the game imo

[weak vortex]

Oh so not the boss the actual getting through the adds

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar poe is not a game that hands you a win.. you have to learn the game and earn it

[weak vortex]

What level are you

[spark marsh]

Hey everyone. I’m new to POE and I’m loving it so far. Flasks I pick up are replacements, not in addition to, right? So I can discard or sell?

[weak vortex]

Have you done your ascension

[little cedar]

yeah and not get tricked by discord lol

[little cedar]

32

yeah im a gemling i wanted to do pillar build gemling

but i guess u need lvl 80+ for that

[weak vortex]

And I'm just double checking you spent your ascension points right?

[little cedar]

ya

[haughty niche]

stat stacking in poe is notorious for being dogshit until super late endgame with wealth so that you can get required stats. dunno if its any different in poe2.

[weak vortex]

Do you have aoe skills

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar this is a pretty simple early game focused merc video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wFRv6lQL3U

[little cedar]

okay ill do that on my new merc

when i play next week

[weak vortex]

@little cedar

[little cedar]

frost bomb and bell

i die before i can use bell tho

[weak vortex]

Do they do decent damage

[fresh ivy]

@cruw, i thought you said you are playing gemling

[little cedar]

no. nothing i have does decent dmg

[lusty hinge]

Pretty much the same, very high investment

[zenith skiff]

bro wtf do i do with this ancient relic

[weak vortex]

Are you walking back while attacking and using the small corridors to filter the mobs

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar are you playing a merc with a quarterstaff?

[misty grotto]

Is it worth keeping gear for other classes? I picked up a rare wand (I'm a monk) and wondering if I should sell it

[weak vortex]

So they aren't pilling in at once

[lusty hinge]

• the inflation because streamers run these broken builds, classic stuff

[little cedar]

ya. pillars staff build

gemling

[cold mica]

what is duel wielding

[weak vortex]

Using the same weapon in both hands

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar okay, this is nonsense.. you don't even understasnd the game, and you are trying to following some off-meta weird build

[trim turret]

1h weapon in each hand.

[cold mica]

is it possible whit crosbows

[little cedar]

its one of the strongest buidls in the game but. just needs high lvl tho they lied to me in the merc chat

[trim turret]

If it's actually good and you think you'll use it sure.

[viral cargo]

i got this gold charm that should trigger when i kill rares or uniques, but i tried that 3 times and everytime the charm is at full charges after killing the rare enemy, even tho it should use 100% of its charges to buff droprate. is that a bug or is it possible that killing a yellow enemy and 2-4 blue enemies instantly refills it to 100% charges before i have time to check it?

[lusty hinge]

Sadly no

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar if you want to play quarterstaff, play monk invoker, the buidls are really straightforward and you will flatten everything - https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/grgr2013

if you want to play merc, then play crossbow

[weak vortex]

No because you can only have one in your hands at once

[weak vortex]

So use a different meta until you can do that

[little cedar]

the skill tree for it doesn't really work for anything else. so ill just make another merc

[fresh ivy]

this is just a lie.... im sorry.... 45% of high level players are playing stormweaver.. hardly anyone is playing ANY merc build, and nobody is playing this merc/gemling/staff build.... im not saying it's not useful or strong, but it is NOT the strongest build in the game

[misty grotto]

Okay thanks!

[little cedar]

whast the best map to farm for gear in act 2?

zone

[weak vortex]

Damn I'm sad I picked a basic bitch class

[haughty niche]

this isn't necessarily about classes being bad, its more so Stormweaver is one of the classes that can heavily stack rarity and not lose a ton of clear speed

[fresh ivy]

@cruw if you want to learn the game, stop playing merc with quarterstaff.... and ESPECIALLY not merc/quarterstaff/ice-strike... trust me, my main is a level 80 monk invoker ice strike

[weak vortex]

There's a good yt vid that shows the first three acts if you just Google it

[haughty niche]

Rarity atm is kind of fucking broken, and heavily skewing the market and build decisions. Its not supposed to be the #1 stat you target in any build, but in this case it kind of is..

[fresh ivy]

@haughty niche well, there are many reasons for it.. but when this guy says "merc with quarterstaff and totems is the strongeest build in the game".. the graph counters his point

[weak vortex]

You can use your two weapon slots to swap between though

[fresh ivy]

i like farming keth.... but you can choose any zone at the highest level you can handle

[haughty niche]

I was playing as i normally do and progressing relatively slow. Got 75% rarity from gear and it was like night and day currency drops etc.

[fresh ivy]

at what level of the game ar eyou talking about? i agree rarity is good, but so is being good at the game

[little cedar]

thx ill farm a bit maybe i can get some decent armor/rings and if that doesnt' workk ill jus tmake another merc

[haughty niche]

I had some rarity even while levelling. I still prioritized damage on weapon and getting my resists capped.

[craggy gyro]

rarity should not affect currency drops

[haughty niche]

My first playthrough was pretty rough.
My second with a friend was actually a lot better with ~60 rarity on my character. Could be group play drops feeling different.

Levelled my ranger with 75% rarity and it was noticeably better drops.

[fresh ivy]

@little cedar just remember, if you make another merc.. play crossbows or bows... if you want to play quarterstaff, play monk.... atleast your first time through

[fossil dirge]

Hello, i have a question that I have played witch class and now i want to create a new class but not delete witch. How many character i can play in 1 account ?

[haughty niche]

agreed,but it does so here we are

[craggy gyro]

yep

[little cedar]

ya ill switch to the staff build at like 80+

[craggy gyro]

cant wait to see how ggg reacts to all the feedback from the firs few weeks gonna be interesting which direction the game is taking

[little cedar]

if i make it that far

[frank egret]

I know blue dot on enemy is cull indicator, yellow is heavy stun, what's the smaller red orb that shows up on some enemies at times?

[haughty niche]

getting back from holidays will be like walking into a burning building lol

[abstract bear]

the game makes playing melee extra hard for no reason and playing ranged significantly easier. especialy with the damage output of storm weaver. so unballanced rn

[haughty niche]

game is still quite fun. Once i start getting bored or more likely, annoyed, il just play something else until they fix it

[lusty hinge]

But they increased the currency drops at some point, not saying rarity is worthless but for me at least I didn't see any drastic diff to say that it's a must or op

[craggy gyro]

yeah but its a beautiful house on fire 😂

[haughty niche]

monk melee is pretty strong.
Warrior melee has the damage, but its SOOOOO SLOOWW. Like 3s windups and stuff, and they don't really give you the defensive layers to feel good tanking hits like that.

[lusty hinge]

Building mf I mean

[craggy gyro]

think a big problem is the basic attack every melee skill should play like tempest strike

[haughty niche]

i personally haven't had issues with it in campaign before cruel, but haven't gone further yet

[craggy gyro]

warrior not having a cool melee ability but only big aoe spells was a bit of a bummer tbh

[abstract bear]

when im playing in group every monk i see is using ranged abilities and the time it takes for my mace skill to land on one pack of mobs the sotorm weaver has cleared out 15 other packs

[haughty niche]

those are actually their melee abilities lol

they can just move while meleeing AND hit like half screen

[frank egret]

Enemy engage?

[craggy gyro]

balance is all over the place just stick to whats fun is a good advice alot of changes will drop once holidays are over

[fresh ivy]

this is simply false.. freeze monjk is one of the strongest and fastest classes in the game

[abstract bear]

if youre "melee ability" has a range of more than 10ft thats a ranged ability

[lusty hinge]

We'll see with marauder ig and axes, well at least I hope so

[civic locust]

i just hope every ascendency feels as good as Stormweaver eventually

[haughty niche]

its melee tagged

thats all i care about

[fresh ivy]

@abstract bear you can literally chain stun and stagger bosses on melee like it's nothing

[abstract bear]

im not talking about how its labled.

[fresh ivy]

@abstract bear what level is this you are talking about? i have a level 80 monk and i only used ranged abilities alittle bit in the end of act 3

i ahve a build guide for freeze monk you can use that dumpsters everything, if you want to learn how to play monk

[abstract bear]

lvl 70. and again im not talking about how its labeled in the game. ive never seena freeze monk only the lightning ones. so maybe freeze is actually in melee range.

[fresh ivy]

@onepeep - here, watch this video... i did an unedited 3hr 30min runthrough of act 1 on monk... and this is the act 1 boss fight... entirely melee - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFRouXcZ1BU

[frank egret]

Anyone?

[vestal ledge]

Is anyone willing to help me get through some of the campaign today? I have t got to play since launch and today is my only day off

[fresh ivy]

yes, the lighting gound spam build is a ranged build.... but that's not what everyone is playing... my monk is ice-strike/flicker and he absolutely wrecks content - in melee range, and he did so the entier campaign also

[tiny beacon]

any idea if im suppose to find the ascension again in act 2 cruel after defeating balbala?

[lusty hinge]

No

Random drop

[ebon hound]

it it generally ok to level however u want with an idea for endgame in mind, or do some abilities just not work in campaign. I want to do a lightning witchhunter galvanic shards build. should i directly go for lightning nodes and devote my build for it from the get go or are there some other stuff im missing?

[haughty niche]

that quest is bugged. its not supposed to appear in cruel

[lusty hinge]

Iirc you path as usual, to like reloads, dmg, then some electrocute/shock buildup and then lightning and utility boosts

Since you need to have the status on mobs to blow them up

[wanton gate]

I plan on taking Chaos Inoculation, should I still take Chaos Res Venom in Act III Cruel just to get it in case my build changes later on? Attributes and slowing potency dont sound so important overall

[inland sentinel]

It’s very common to swap builds from campaign to late game

Provided, gems are easy to swap in and out and gold is cheap to respec

[ebon hound]

alr thank you very much

[inland sentinel]

If you have ci there’s no need to take chaos res

[lusty hinge]

But the choice is your really, you're picking up those nodes anyway

[inland sentinel]

I would start to build up a decent pool of es before then tho

[wanton gate]

I guess but if they ever nerf anything about the build and I have to respec elsewhere and out of CI, I would be missing 10 chaos res, ykwim?

[alpine silo]

...

[inland sentinel]

CI is one of the strongest defensive archetypes in Poe 2, so I don’t see how it would get affected

[ebon hound]

im mostly scared of the idea of having galvanic shards early just doesent work and then i need to sit and figure out how to change gear to something else for leveling

[wanton gate]

oke, thanks 🙂

so attributes it is I guess

[inland sentinel]

Attributes are very tough late game

[wanton gate]

yea

[lusty hinge]

Your single target will absolutely suck until you get the other electric ammo for shocksplosions (idr what lvl it is like 13 or smth)

But maybe I just didn't utilize the skill to it's fullest, I play with lmg

[ebon hound]

alright, ill just get galvanic shards as soon as i am the level for it and build for it from the start. will see how that goes

[jagged dragon]

cold bow monk build going smooth

[abstract bear]

hammer build is fine but feels slow gonna try storm weaver now i think

[fringe sun]

Is it normal for the town to be laggy looking?

[lusty hinge]

Weird texture/shader stuff?

[naive nymph]

Are bosses Monsters as far as trial affixes are concerned?

[fringe sun]

not sure how to explain it, it just looks slower and seems to lack fps

[lusty hinge]

You can check the graphs by toggling F1

[boreal gulch]

im back, i broke demon form again.. i respecced my tree a bit and the game started spamming sounde efx and then i lost access to demon form. Somehow I can no longer slot vitality support gem into despite it being there before i respecced and appearing as a recommended support gem for the skill.. its as if it changed mid game

[fringe sun]

I fisurged out why, engine multithreading was turned off.

[lusty hinge]

Do you have enough STR to slot it?

[boreal gulch]

yes, and spirit..

[little cedar]

how do I filter for dmg on ring

like +22 lightning dmg on attacks

on poe2trade

[naive nymph]

try filtering for lightning damage without the "on attack" part. some items say on attack and some don't. it's weird

[half fractal]

Is there a way to get a garunteed rare quarterstaff???

[little cedar]

i get no results found

feel like the other half the game is that trade website

[half fractal]

Is there a way to get a garunteed rare quarterstaff???

[lusty hinge]

Be slapping a normal qstaff with alchemy orb or by slapping magic qstaff with regal

[half fractal]

thats gibberish to me bro

[little cedar]

same lol

i dont look forweard to it

[boreal gulch]

it was literally just socketed into demon form and all i respecced was some life regen for es nodes

[lusty hinge]

Orbs, currency, crafting thingies

[little cedar]

so like how do i filter rings for dmg

can't figure this out

[half fractal]

more gibberish

[lusty hinge]

Could not be more clear tbh

[half fractal]

w

[boreal gulch]

so i added a str node and it works.. so im 3/4 with it equipped. super fucking weird its like it takes up 2 capacity instead of 1

[little cedar]

okay i think i figured this dang site out

[lusty hinge]

Well it said (0) next to the 5 requirement hence why I asked if you have enough STR (and str slots) for it

[viral cargo]

omg help pls i cant get this thing to work 😦 i keep killing yellow stuff and it always is at full charges 😿 is this bugged?

or is it maybe not possible for those to go to 0 charges so it actually only has 79 or smth??

🥺

[lusty hinge]

1 slot/capacity whatever it's called = 5 attributes, so maybe you were short like 1 or few

[boreal gulch]

i mean it went into other skills as i showed

so it seems like its taking extra capacity when used in demon form or something

im 3/4 capacity in str.. when i was 3/3 it bugs out

[lusty hinge]

Maybe you get the charges back, since you have charge gain ibcrease and rares in general give a decent chunk

[lusty hinge]

It's not a bug, you didn't have str slots (3/3)

[boreal gulch]

??

when it wasnt slotted i was 2/3

[lusty hinge]

3/4 - you have 1 slot, 2/4 you have 2 slots

[boreal gulch]

when i slotted it somewhere else i was 3/3

when i slotted it into demon form i had to be 3/4 or it broke

[viral cargo]

i was wondering about that but its kinda hard to check without having the mouse over the charm while killing them and recording... 😅 and it could be instant recharge 🤦
it would be OP if it was instant recharge tho

[boreal gulch]

what am i not understanding

[lusty hinge]

Well that's odd..

[fleet portal]

what does this want from me, ive completed the full map and i cant find anythign related, ive even killed the mini boss

[boreal gulch]

hence my confusion lol

[viral cargo]

if thats in cursed, its a bug

if not, kill the mini boss again or pick up the coin

[fleet portal]

wdym in cursed?

[viral cargo]

cruel xD sry

[fleet portal]

Np

i did pick up the djinn but it was it wont award ascendancy points?

[lusty hinge]

I don't remember if it updates the icon on your belt and I think it shows the buff with the options toggled on

[little cedar]

i been whispering people for 20 min no one responds from poe2trade

what now

[lusty hinge]

Keep looking

Unfortunately

[viral cargo]

according to reddit, this doesn't show a buff and i definitely never saw one

ill try to kill a yellow while mouseover on charm

[lusty hinge]

By default? (not in game to check if options had flasks in addition to auras)

[little cedar]

RIP

[halcyon hull]

When will a carry service through campaigns be created? Any idea?

[lusty hinge]

Some mods were posting it here, not sure where it went tho

[halcyon hull]

Ok

[haughty niche]

it would cost ingame currency orbs. And a lot of them

[halcyon hull]

Ok

[lusty hinge]

Smth about maxroll releasing it

[haughty niche]

poe1's was incredibly expensive, and that game was easier to carry through campaign

[halcyon hull]

Yeah wonder the cost of this one will be

[haughty niche]

https://poexchange.maxroll.gg/poe2 heres the one on maxroll

it only covers specific bosses / asc trials tho

[lusty hinge]

That's the one, yes

[viral cargo]

idk but some people on reddit say it works without showing a buff, anyway, right after saying i need a yellow one appeared and offered to take a part in this experiment and i managed to confirm it recharges instantly if i kill 1 yellow and 4 blue and some tiny crap

[solar gate]

Is this good? Why would an item inflict bleeding?

[lusty hinge]

I honestly just put it on and forget and just believe it works, but I did see empty charm for sure (mine has less charge use tho)

[acoustic jay]

do i have to run mind over matter if i get chaos inoculation to avoid poison and bleed or am i immune already?

[late raft]

What are the curses and marks?

For hand if chayula?

[vital crane]

Poison deals chaos damage so you're fine there

[vital crane]

Skills that debuff enemies. You should be able to find them by typing curse or mark in the searchbar

[fading yoke]

How do I know what armour/weapons to keep and what to scrap?

[acoustic jay]

i saw somewhere im still not resistant to corrupted blood

or

[vital crane]

In campaign you dont need to keep anything really, unless you're planning on equipping it in future

[little cedar]

does steam invisible status effect if these people i am whispering from poe2trade see my whisper?

[vital crane]

Cb is physical damage

[vital crane]

No

People just don't answer lol

[gritty dawn]

I’m at the boss room fight and wanna get my friend the ascendancy points but he can’t join ? How do people do the carries

[acoustic jay]

alr so mind over will tank it?

[late raft]

Idk I don't see any. Do you have an example? If I want to buy a couple what would I search on trade site?

[gritty dawn]

I asked earlier didn’t see if people replied

[round patio]

why does it say requirements not met? what requirement is there?

[vital crane]

You would need to look at different skill categories, there aren't any in the default monk section

Monk might want to run freezing mark+frostbite or voltaic mark+conductivity depending on your main element

[gritty dawn]

I don’t get it if people charge for carries they scamming? why can’t my friend warp to me

[late raft]

Well I have two from occult but how do I link them to the hand if chyula skill?

[vital crane]

If you take mind over matter, all damage goes to mana first regardless of the damage type

[late raft]

Or do those not count

[round patio]

i got the thing above it, have a skill point left to use, so why does it say that

[vital crane]

You socket them

[acoustic jay]

tyty

[late raft]

But how do I get the hand skill to apply those specifically. I can't socket contagion into hand?

[sinful ivy]

Which is best class for new player which requires less aim?

[vital crane]

Contagion isn't a curse

[jagged dragon]

Raging spirits witch

[vital crane]

Aim is not required much in this game

[late raft]

They are all in skill trees? I don't see freezing mark anywhere for instance

[vital crane]

Mm

Might not be called freezing mark

[true jackal]

is there a build planner where i can actually see how my stats are affected by the passive skill tree?

[vital crane]

No it is

[late raft]

I see it in the website

Trading site

[solar gate]

Being inflicted with bleeding isn't good right?

[late raft]

But not in skill trees

[tacit knot]

Is 43% mana regen a lot for sustain? Idk

[vital crane]

Skill trees?

[late raft]

You said its a skill

[zealous oracle]

Is there a way to see what Debuffs a monster has on them? How do you mouseover them without untargetting the monster?

[carmine veldt]

Third ascendancy is act 2 cruel, and fourth is act 3 cruel?

[vital crane]

Not really. But you don't need a lot of sustain on most characters

[late raft]

And to look at non monk skills

[carmine veldt]

And that'll only net you 8 ascendancy points in total?

[vital crane]

A skill gem yes. Not on the tree

[zealous oracle]

thats max yup

[hushed sage]

Is there like a recommended level per area so that we don’t know we are over/underleveled?

[vital crane]

On level of the area is good

If you're a couple above or below doesn't matter

[carmine veldt]

Dang ic, and the cruel stages I mentioned is accurate?

[tacit anvil]

Anyone want doing a fresh run I can join this is my first time playing poe

[carmine veldt]

Around what level do u challenge the trials

[hushed sage]

The level of monsters that it says on hover?

[vital crane]

Top right of screen

Might have to press tab for it

[meager scarab]

Am I misunderstanding how Mana Flasks work? I have a Ring that says it recovers 0.22 of a charge per second but after 4 seconds I don't have a full charge recovered.

[vital crane]

Also from world map

[tacit knot]

Does it matter in the calculation that shock chance is increased instead of more. 20% increased Damage

[sinful ivy]

Where can i use 300 points I got from early access purchase?

[tacit knot]

I have 130% magnitude

[vital crane]

A charge is not a use. Flasks have like 100 charges or whatever and use like 10 per use. (Example numbers)

[zealous oracle]

just to be clear, 1 charge does not equal one use. it says Consumes 10 of 75 Charges on use. So you'd need to wait a longer time for a full use

[vital crane]

You can hover to see the details of charge use on ur flask

[hushed sage]

Apart from the level is there a recommended minimum on resistances per act? I seem to die very easily right now

[vital crane]

Res is pretty hard to get reliably in acts atm

Theres not really much benchmark for it

It's not as punishing as poe1 if you're not capped though

[hushed sage]

Yeah I have a big problem getting resists and I don’t really like to die so often

[vital crane]

I've been fine at like 30-40 for most of campaign in my runs

[hushed sage]

Hmm okay then

[nova bear]

Where can i see guild invites? I saw the notif when I logged in but it promptly disappeared

[vestal ledge]

Would anyone be willing to play through the first act with me? I don’t wanna play alone

[past rain]

i really need an explanation why my hellhound disappears when i go into demon form. what am i doing wrong

[tidal iron]

how do I get more spirit as a ranger? I am on act 2 want to use cast on shock but have only 30 spirit

[craggy gyro]

Need help with ingagduk ign drax_ner

[onyx warren]

Which skills do you use for warriors on the first 3 tiers? I'm trying normal attack for stunned with boneshatter and herald of ash. Also like perfect strikes, but aiming mostly misses (even with perfect timming) the intended target.

[neat nest]

Hey guys, so I am wanting to make some gold, where do yall farm or what do yall do?

[wooden lava]

you can get more spirit from gear, amulet can have lots of spirit on it

[tidal iron]

rings too?

[slow plover]

i wanna play ice invoker monk who has the best guide to follow and still playing it so i can ask him on stream or smth

[craggy gyro]

Need help with ingagduk ign drax_ner hard stuck

[wooden lava]

@tidal iron not much from rings

[viscid willow]

i beat act3 cruel boss, how do i get to the present zig encampment?

these damn idols for the oswald sidequest are in my inv but no oswald to get to

[wooden lava]

cross the gateway to get to the present

[viscid willow]

gateway down for me

[vital crane]

Go to a waypoint from first half of act 3 and portal

It's a bit jank

[past rain]

in act 3 and then act 6 you get +30 and then +40. gonna be a minute for CoS

[tidal iron]

ohhh okey thanks for info

[tacit knot]

Would fork work on spark? Like would it be good

When u have rhe option to add an extra projectile after forking

[opaque kayak]

What site shows what stats can be rolled/crafted on an item?

[vital crane]

It works, not worth the socket really

[vital crane]

https://poe2db.tw/us/

Modifiers section

[opaque kayak]

Thanks a bunch

[tacit knot]

Is it just me or does every single boss have some sort of arena

[lusty hinge]

Yes, they do

[craggy gyro]

Need help with ingagduk ign drax_ner been stuck here for hours

[vital crane]

That's generally how bosses work yeah

[little cedar]

uhh i killed that same boss like it was nothing by just buying 2 random yellow rings

from poe2trade

like from very hard to very easy

[gloomy viper]

which one is better?

[opaque kayak]

so weird, there is an attack speed mod on gloves but no one is selling in trade.

[little cedar]

i had to click a different attack speed but then it worked

[tacit knot]

Doesnt increased chance to shock make it weaker then in poe 1 where it was more?

[opaque kayak]

oh lmao

[tacit knot]

I mean magnifude

[opaque kayak]

why the hell are there two

[zenith tulip]

can i make her stay in the back instead of going first and making all mobs stuck on the bridges?

[opaque kayak]

@little cedar thank you

[wooden lava]

there's also two max energy shield

[ebon hamlet]

just wanted to ask if balbala is in act 2 cruelty mode guys

[burnt ibex]

i have some questions about the passive tree, but its more handy to ask them in private chat so anyone who feels free to give a little help would be nice cause im kinda stuck and lacking a lot of dmg

[vital crane]

You might be selecting the wrong attack speed mod

Global attack speed is what you get on non weapon items, or on tree

Local attack speed is only on weapons, and multiplies the base attack speed of the weapon

Idk if the local/global labels are on the new trade site

[lusty hinge]

How's your weapon looking though

[lusty hinge]

She is, cruel is a repeat of acts 1-3

[lusty hinge]

No, she has an AI of a minion and you can't control/command npcs

[late condor]

any tips for trial of chaos

[zenith tulip]

i guess i'm taking that map slow then =))

[hearty ingot]

how to lvl up as fking warrior? cant beat first boss

[lament breach]

whats the easiest way to gain literally 1 stat point?

[oak galleon]

there an easy way to see how dps changes w/ weapon?

[lament breach]

15/16 int for orb of storms

i can buy gear but i want something more perm

[burnt ibex]

check pm

[zenith tulip]

press G and find ur main skill/skills, see how dps changes depending on ur weapon

[lusty hinge]

Don't take debuffs that will definitely kill you
Do not linger with the soul core on your back
Avoid scary aoes

[edgy timber]

on mercernary what sills should i be comboing before i unlock galvanic shard

[late condor]

soul vote?

[zenith tulip]

u do the same with passive skill points, just open skill window over it and see how each affect the stat u need

[weak vortex]

is it possible to increase the tier of a prefix or suffix

once its already applied

[oak galleon]

bruh

[versed parrot]

Does a Quiver count as Weapon or Armor if i put a rune on it?

[arctic silo]

can I stack favour from finn quest? I've finished the first one in Feythorn and there is no item that is worth taking

[hearty wedge]

how in the hell does someone actually finish the trial of chaos? even taking what's considered "good" modifiers, I can't get past 3.

[supple kite]

Can anybody explain this? How bad is losing all the perks of evasion rating? I'll have a TON of armor (I am act 1 cruel and have a 550 evasion armor) If I read this correctly, I just get more armor and lose ALL evasion correct?

[past rain]

i really need an explanation why my hellhound disappears when i go into demon form. what am i doing wrong

[tacit knot]

Is fhe only way to make my skill pinning without basic pin chance with the support?

[haughty niche]

Currently armour isnt in a great spot. Thats an option, but low amounts of armour or evasion wont do much

[weak vortex]

when should i be doing my second ascension

as soon as i unlock it?

[late condor]

I tired

tried

[magic smelt]

im stuck in a wall, what can i do?

[late condor]

I failed a lot

[weak vortex]

yeah i tried once died on the second one and decided to skip it for a bit

[weak vortex]

where in the game are you

[little cedar]

what is giving me -15% lightning resist

[late condor]

I cant remove the trial thing from my inventroy

[weak vortex]

go put it in the alter

and just leave it there

[weak vortex]

look at your items?

take all your items off

[magic smelt]

nvm fixed

[haughty niche]

to mitigate half the damage of a hit from endgame bosses you need something like 20k armour which just isn't realistic unless thats your entire build idea / heavy investment.
Armour has a bad formula where the higher the hit, the higher the armour you need to mitigate the same amount. The number thats shown on the character sheet isn't accurate.

In poe1 this worked fine enough cause you could easily reach 50k+ armour. In this game you can't.

[little cedar]

i did

[haughty niche]

if you are on the bottom of the tree, id still pick armour or evasion and lean into one though. While it doesn't mitigate the big hits that well, its still useful for dealing with hoards of mobs

[tacit knot]

How could i make bleeding concoction pinning for example

[craggy gyro]

guys how do i get more gems on my mace strike ability?

[little cedar]

i have -20% resists

dunno why

[burnt junco]

you lose res as you progress through campaign

[little cedar]

that's dumb

[craggy gyro]

i think each act you get a fixed -10 or smthng

[burnt junco]

it's to force you to get better gear

[little cedar]

from trade

and i can spend an hour with no whispers back lol

[craggy gyro]

when do you need to start trading if at all? i am act2 cruel rn

[weak vortex]

?

[burnt junco]

trade, vendor gamble, socket runes, get lucky drops
but yea kinda sucks in the current state since crafting is dogshit

[haughty niche]

idk. but bleed gets bonus damage if the monster is moving so thats anti-synergy unless you get high uptime on aggrevated bleeds

[little cedar]

i have 0 chaos dunn how to increase it

[haughty niche]

i think its character levels but im unsure

[craggy gyro]

thx man

[little cedar]

i jsut hit act 3 and the yellows can kill me in 1-2 seconds

[craggy gyro]

gonna find it out

[little cedar]

and I just used 4 exalts to get itno act 3 from shop lol

[haughty niche]

you can get away with lower chaos res than others

[little cedar]

this is kinda nuts

i gotta play it like 1 shot run of games

[burnt junco]

not really something you need to be concerned about until later maps

[little cedar]

im in a venom cave

all poison animals

[simple patio]

when can you do the 3rd ascendancy?

[little cedar]

is the 2nd trial in act 3 hard?

for 3/4 point

[simple patio]

so around act 3 than on cruel\

[rugged tangle]

depends on build/gear, if your under geared it can be

[rugged tangle]

pretty much, the trial itself sucks with the honour system since you have to do 3 floors and it takes way too long

[simple patio]

i dont think im under prepared just didnt know when it dropped but that helped a lot

[rich raptor]

just got the game boys

[haughty niche]

i found the trial 3 quite doable (with ranged at least) even though i got a ton of afflictions just because of capping my honour resistance at 75% via the relics

it still sucks tho

[rugged tangle]

its very doable I just hate the entire sanctum mechanic as a whole.... hated it in poe 1 too, I just payed for a carry as I couldnt bring myself to want to do it

it legit made me just wanna quit instead of do it lol

[zenith skiff]

am i supposed to alywas be on my fucking toes in this game??/

constantlyu have to run away from every mod to do any dmg and survive

[craggy gyro]

Ye

[weak vortex]

mod or mob?

[rugged tangle]

it be that way until you get your gear up and the build starts coming together

[craggy gyro]

Nah it’s that way forever

[simple patio]

well got my first 60 just no points on it but thats a good sign

[haughty niche]

yes. This is something poe2 does incredibly poorly compared to poe1. Poe1 had pacing that allowed you to chill out and relax while blasting a map. This game you are practically always seconds away from 1shots/death

[abstract ingot]

probably you jst need to work a bit on your build/gear as its not like that typically

[vapid violet]

even then u still have to pay more attention than a traditional arpg cause things can and will still 1-2 shot you

[craggy gyro]

So you gotta not get hit and also not get trapped

Or u dieded

[zenith skiff]

how am i supposed to get gear tho. none of my drops are good and im stgill using old stuff becz its tyhe only good stuff for my build

[abstract ingot]

getting trapped is the worst actually

[zenith skiff]

and gold is scarce still so i cant gamble on better gear

my build makes sense. its not OP but I am doing a fire sorc and trying my best

[rugged tangle]

vendors reset everytime you lvl up and sometimes have good gear.... if you get a few exalts you can trade players for decent gear alot of the time

[haughty niche]

vendor is your best friend

[zenith skiff]

it does dmg but idk man

[craggy gyro]

Just play warrior bro

No mama no hit chance

[vapid violet]

or fully embrace shock spam like 80% of other sorcs

[haughty niche]

warrior has their own annoying issues

[craggy gyro]

Yup

D too big

[zenith skiff]

worried it just gonna get nerfed

[haughty niche]

They have to take like 20 hits between attacks

[lusty hinge]

yup, slows you down

[craggy gyro]

Then u get the 10% increase on it

Every level gets bigger

[zenith skiff]

i never played poe1 but alot of d3/d4. i love this game way more than those but im getting frustrated with some of the mechanics here even tho i love the game

[craggy gyro]

We’ll just keep dying then recognize pattern then u win eventually ye

Is all I did

[spark creek]

Hey, i've been playing this past days and i just hit the map "apex of filth" and every time i load into the map i crash. It used to crash my entire pc to the point i had to unplug it but since i changed to vulkan now its just the game.

Is there a known fix for this problem? Ive seen more people talk about this issue and i have the specs to run the game. Right not its literally unpleyeable since every time i load my character it loads apex of filth and it crashes the game.

I dont have a ton of time to play and im hopping there is a player side fix because if i have to wait for GGG to fix it after the break i wont be able to play more :C

[trim turret]

Just bear in mind a good magic item is still better than a shitty rare. We've had a lot of new players ignoring anything that wasn't a rare item and that's a mistake.

[vapid violet]

its only broken due to item interactions, i imagine that the items will be nerfed and not the skill themselves, and from what ive seen lightning or ice are WAY more viable than fire spells due to the inherit cc that lightning/ice have whereas fire is just ignite which is balanced underwhelmingly

[lusty hinge]

win11 latest update by any chance?

[fringe escarp]

Hello beautiful people. Please help with a boss

[spark creek]

How do i check that?

[spark creek]

24h2

[rich raptor]

so i got an epic games key and a steam key

am i able to give the epic key away?

[lusty hinge]

yup, that's the latest, not much you can do apart from roll back

[lament stone]

read the text directly below the keys

[lusty hinge]

or wait till either microsoft or ggg fix this

[rugged tangle]

it says on the website not to give away the steam or epic keys.... if you have a spare key it will be on the bottom of that page

[craggy gyro]

Give it to me

[spark creek]

oh its a microsoft problem?

That sucks

[desert sedge]

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

[lament stone]

theyre not early access keys anyway

[craggy gyro]

LOL

[rich raptor]

just wondering things have said stuff like that before but it wasnt coded that way

[lusty hinge]

kinda

[vivid cedar]

🥲

[carmine veldt]

How do u access the 300 points from getting the game on steam

[zenith skiff]

is there liek a way to farm gold in act 2

[rugged tangle]

it will show in the microtransaction tab ingame

[weak vortex]

at what point will i be able to get like 75% crit chance

[lament stone]

ingame or on the poe website

[weak vortex]

like what act

[rich raptor]

https://www.pathofexile.com/

[carmine veldt]

Ic ic, and what should you be spending them on

[lament stone]

you wont get that much crit in acts lmao

[rich raptor]

i can spend my coins on that site

[lament stone]

crit is a massive investment in poe2

[weak vortex]

what cc should i have by end of the acts

[rugged tangle]

stash tabs would be my recommendation for all new players, though I would wait for a sale to maximize what you get.... should be another stash tab sale in the next couple weeks

[carmine veldt]

Alr thanks bro, and these sales would be announced in this discord?

[lament stone]

if a skill has 5% base crit chance you need ~1500% increased crit chance to reach 75%

[rugged tangle]

I believe so but im not entirely sure

[little cedar]

the second a yellow enemy comes on screen in act3 i die in almost .05 seconds.

whats the trick here other than using trade for a few hours

[weak vortex]

so what cc would i be looking at for end of acts ish tho

like what would be good

[lament stone]

idk tbh

if youre using an attack skill getting additional crit chance on your weapon is going to be huge

[rugged tangle]

up your defenses/ resistances, trade really shouldnt take long if you go that route but ya if your dieing too quick you need to look at hp/armor/es/evasion/resistances depending on what your building into

[lament stone]

there might be some bases that have higher base crit chance too

[vital crane]

I wouldnt try to seriously scale crit until later game

[zenith skiff]

damn

[vital crane]

And not at all if you arent playing a build that facilitates crit

[little cedar]

yeah i can whisper people for an hour and not get a reply. and im almost out of orbs

[zenith skiff]

will never kill jamanra i dont think

[little cedar]

i dunno about this game tbh

[zenith skiff]

one hit on everything

[vital crane]

Ie high base crit chance, or other mechanics that benefit from crit

[lament stone]

crit isnt something you do on just any build

[rich raptor]

im new and yall making me feel like i gotta do hella reasearch before i play😭

[little cedar]

i also went a meme build and rather nto restart the game

[zenith skiff]

is there literally anyway to farm gold or gear

[little cedar]

its kind of like a job lol

[weak vortex]

i mean its working for me rn

[zenith skiff]

this is so awful lol\

[late condor]

have you tried killing mobs

[craggy gyro]

i just picked a build, am doing crit rn, feels good. I get one shot by anything tho

[rugged tangle]

poe has a pretty steep learning curve for new players, youtube is your friend

[lament stone]

poe2 is much more new player friendly

[rich raptor]

do they have point refunds if you dont like how your build is goin or dose that become a wasted char?

[little cedar]

i found poe1 a lot easier

[lament stone]

if you hold alt on any item you can click any underlined text to see exactly what it means

[craggy gyro]

still absolutely no in game tutorial about anything

[weak vortex]

yeah i tried poe1 and just stopped after an hour

[dusty gull]

hey guys, first of all, merry christmas to all of you.
im new to discord and poe.

ive upgraded from te standart to King pf Faridun in the in game store, but i lost all my previous skins.

did anyone else had this issue?

[little cedar]

poe2 for me has been more difficult than any FromSoft game

by a fair margin

[rugged tangle]

once you get the "hooded one" in your camps you can respec your tree at the cost of gold

[weak vortex]

it aint that deep just swap chars

go for stormancer

super easy

[little cedar]

i really rather not tho. i didn't have fun getting this far

boring maps

[vital crane]

Theres quite a few ingame explanations now

[zenith skiff]

yeah just use one of the few viable classes bro

thats super fun

[vital crane]

Every class is viable lol

More than viable

[weak vortex]

youve only done 2 acts tho

[little cedar]

im on act 3

i didn't have any fun getting this far tbh

im hoping end game is fun

[lament stone]

even the "bad" skills are good enough to do pretty much anything the game has to offer

[weak vortex]

you were struggling with dreadnought earlier so youre only just in act 3

[little cedar]

yeah. so it gets fun now or something?

[rich raptor]

your kidding????

[little cedar]

im kinda just dying every half second

[vital crane]

If you dont enjoy the fundamentals of the game, don't force yourself to keep playing

That's silly

[weak vortex]

then thats a skill diff

[lament stone]

the build crafting is where the fun is

[rugged tangle]

game doesnt really open up until you start getting gear and your build starts coming together tbh..... usually around end of act 3 normal is where it starts picking up but really depends on gear/build

[weak vortex]

i enjoy the stacking skills

[little cedar]

youtubers keep hyping the game up so i come back and try again

lol

[weak vortex]

i have my main dps skill and a load of debuffs and an empower

and a crit lighnting build

[zenith skiff]

got to the end of act 2 and shit is boring now lmoa

tedious and unfun

[weak vortex]

i die from time to time if i get swarmed but i can usually 2 tap everything

[zenith skiff]

maybe will wait for full release

[weak vortex]

and even bosses are easy because i crit every third hit

[little cedar]

i die in a second from yelows. like hp bar full to nothing

out of nowhere

[zenith skiff]

yeah dude it sucks currently

[weak vortex]

send ss of your chest and helmet

[zenith skiff]

act 1 and most of 2 were super fun

[vital crane]

Stuff is hard if your build sucks, and it's pretty normal for your build to suck when you're new

[zenith skiff]

i know mine suck but the funny part is you cant even get new gear! lol\

[weak vortex]

i didnt really enjoy dreadnought to get to the boss that was boring as hell, and my portal despawned at the boss so i had to do it twice

[little cedar]

thats the last time i even got a yellow chest

weird loot syste

[zenith skiff]

build is fine, physically cannot gear for my build nor farm the currency needed

[weak vortex]

fucking lvl 8 armor

[little cedar]

fucking rng

[rugged tangle]

not uncommon lol.... best advice is try to grind for better gear with more defenses if your feeling too squishy

[lament stone]

magic gear is good enough to do whole campaign

[weak vortex]

💀

[wind ice]

Hello guys I have 22 out of 24 passive skill points from Campaign and I dont know what Im missing, can someone please help me if I share some screenshots?

[little cedar]

so time to camp the 3rd party website?

[weak vortex]

i have boots that give me like 11 life regen

and helmet that gives 10

rings that give 10

[lament stone]

a high life roll + high resist roll is all you really need on armour

[weak vortex]

wdum website

i dont even go for resistance

im pure glass cannon

[sturdy trout]

Why is my texture quality locked to medium?

[little cedar]

okay ill try to get better armor

[rugged tangle]

if you need to 🤷, I really havent had a problem trading most of the time even for cheap stuff

[lament stone]

thats not going to work

[weak vortex]

you know the venom pits

[weak vortex]

works for now

[little cedar]

so just use this lvl 8 armor?

[zenith skiff]

stuck at end of act 2 boss

this is dogshit

[tardy timber]

is it bugged im pressing and holding and for some reason nothing happens

[zenith skiff]

cant respec, not enough money for new gear. do I just have to make a new character now lmfao?>

[lament stone]

if you die in an endgame map you failt it, some even lock you out

[maiden marsh]

need any help pm me in game i go the same username

[signal orbit]

can anyone kill boss 3 sekhem

[weak vortex]

i can not die if i want i just have to play safe

[rugged tangle]

I would attempt to trade for something better if you have the exalts, I did full campaign without trading just to test and if I had just traded I would have had a much better time

[weak vortex]

only reason i really die is if i get impatiant

[craggy gyro]

U only die when u get to 0 hp

[zenith skiff]

i have no motivation to play if I cant solo somethin appreciate the offer tho

[craggy gyro]

So just don’t get hit bro

[little cedar]

i am melee

[maiden marsh]

I could give you some gear to sell so u can respec if you want tho

[zenith skiff]

this shit kinda sucks think imma stop until full release

[craggy gyro]

Just don’t get hit bro

[tacit anvil]

I just started and I'm already addicted to it lol

[tacit knot]

Is 1% life regen per second nice / noticeable?

[zenith skiff]

yeah man i dont want handouts to get thru the game thanks tho

[late condor]

your build is probably not very well optimized

[vital crane]

Having a bad level 8 item halfway through acts is not exclusively the games fault I'm afraid. Drops can be scarce but there's a number of things you can do about it. It shouldn't be hard to get a magic item of your current level with a couple usable stats that you can regal later

[craggy gyro]

Nope

[vital crane]

Feel free

[maiden marsh]

Fair enough bro

[zenith skiff]

im not new to ARPGs i am paying extremely close attention to skills interactiosn etc

[tacit anvil]

I just started the dark secret quest

[craggy gyro]

Doesn’t the boss stay the same

[tacit knot]

Im sorry guys XD Is 1% life regen per second nice / noticeable?

[craggy gyro]

So u needa beat it when u get back

[little cedar]

its his gear. thats 99% of the issues

gotta trade

[late condor]

so everyone else managed to get to the endgame how

[little cedar]

and pray for orbs

[weak vortex]

depends on your hp

[carmine veldt]

What class are you playing

[craggy gyro]

Now the boss going to be calling u in the back of ur mind

[zenith skiff]

fire sorc

[vital crane]

Kinda noticeable but not super impactful by itself

[weak vortex]

divide your hp by 100

[little cedar]

did they? i saw a 50% drop off first week

[weak vortex]

thats the life regen

[wind ice]

Hello guys I have 22 out of 24 passive skill points from Campaign and I dont know what Im missing, can someone please help me if I share some screenshots?

[zenith skiff]

was destroying everything up until end of act 2 , not sure what just happened

[weak vortex]

we can try and help

[vital crane]

Do you have questions still or just complaining?

[late condor]

are you asking me if people have gotten to endgame?

[little cedar]

im just struggling start of act 3 mobs chunk me hard. i gotta trade for chest and b otos

[weak vortex]

dddddd

[craggy gyro]

Everyone is endgame bruv

[little cedar]

no, everyone

[zenith skiff]

my character is bricked because I chose wrong ascendancy too nice 👍

[late condor]

when I said everyone I meant everyone in endgame,

[craggy gyro]

Cuz if u run at the dude long enough you don’t get hit by anything

[little cedar]

is there link

[craggy gyro]

Ye

[zenith skiff]

is there any point in keeping a character i wont be playing anymore or can I just stash everything and delete?

[rich raptor]

cant reset?

[craggy gyro]

I’m an idiot and I beat it

Kind regards

[rich raptor]

i wanna try which

[haughty niche]

could always respec it later on.

Theres like 20+ free character slots so no point in deleting

[rugged tangle]

you can stash and delete if you want, all these characters will be going to seperate server at release and wont be played by most anyways

[dusty gull]

hey guys, first of all, merry christmas to all of you.
im new to discord and poe.

ive upgraded from te standart to King pf Faridun in the in game store, but i lost all my previous skins.

did anyone else had this issue?

[craggy gyro]

Delete it and play warrior with a shield

[uncut swallow]

any idea how to keep the site logged in?

[radiant dirge]

I killed balbaba in act 2 cruel, yet the ascend to power quest still just says “travel to traitors passage”

[zenith skiff]

damn this has kinda ruined the game for me :/

[haughty niche]

seems to just have really really shortlived tokens or whatever. everyone i know has to relogin every hour or so

[vital crane]

The cruel version of the quest does nothing

It's not really meant to be there

[haughty niche]

thats bugged and isn't supposed to be a quest

[lament stone]

ignore it, the ascendancy quests arent supposed to exist in cruel difficulty

[radiant dirge]

Oh ok, how do you get the 3rd ascension then?

[craggy gyro]

Dang

[weak vortex]

is the final boss of act 3 in the black chambers

[vital crane]

Find an invitation item of a higher tier

[lament stone]

level 60+ trial of sekhemas or level 75+ trial of chaos

[vital crane]

They'll drop randomly

[vital crane]

Ya

[radiant dirge]

Ah thank you

[craggy gyro]

I spent 2h looking for traitor passage and I gave up did something else instead

Nice to know I don’t gotta go back

[haughty niche]

i think theres a link on the receipt usually for purchase-based bugs/issues?

try closing and opening game first if you haven't already tho

[zenith skiff]

should i worry bout stashing cut skill gems if imma just delete the char

[craggy gyro]

Just delete it bro

[haughty niche]

the skillgems could always be used again, but you get a bunch of uncuts so don't worry much

[craggy gyro]

Don’t look back erase it from existence

[dusty gull]

lemme check

[tired fossil]

What are people doing for meta warrior leveling build?

[rigid bridge]

1% is not that noticeable, but 2 or 3 percent is (not in a fight, but between fights)

[zenith skiff]

what classes are good but not OP

[haughty niche]

i saw a lot of boneshatter

its kinda clunky tho

[craggy gyro]

Go no mana and 0 crit rate for all build

Then u win

[rugged tangle]

any class can be good, just depends on what you want and playstyle

[zenith skiff]

witch ok rn?

[craggy gyro]

Then you start face rolling on keyboard

[zenith skiff]

i was told this then when i told people i was Fire Sorc they laughed

so obviously that is not true lmfao

[rigid bridge]

the quest doesn't really exist. ignore it. artifact of them duplicating act 1thru 3

[craggy gyro]

Go warrior

[zenith skiff]

warrior shit bores me

[craggy gyro]

Warrior!!!

[inland quail]

it's more skill/unique combos are that are broken than classes. but it's generally agreed warrior is too weak

[zenith skiff]

witch looks more fun

[lament stone]

every class is

[craggy gyro]

Fun for me

[rigid bridge]

you're not going to be optimized for endgame content but you should be find through campaign

[craggy gyro]

All that matters

[rugged tangle]

they laugh because its not the "meta", tons of people get hung up on making OP builds and if your not following that then your build must suck

[haughty niche]

bloodmage ascendency on witch is like, the worst ascendency. Actively harms you for picking it until you get second ascendency points.

The infernalist is very very good atm though. Super defensive, has minion support too if you like those.

[lament stone]

warrior ascendancies are pretty good, mace skills are pretty bad rn

[rigid bridge]

post your skill tree and char sheet and skill/support setup

[zenith skiff]

already deleted it

gonna make a ranger i think

[rigid bridge]

deleted what, the char?

o.O

[inland quail]

fire sorc could work just fine for campaign, definitely, but i can't think of any abusable mechanics for endgame

[craggy gyro]

Bro is getting laughed at for playing sorc 😭😭 tf

[zenith skiff]

she was doijng great until end of act 2 then sucked out of nowhere

[rigid bridge]

i mean, you do you, but I'd suggest asking for help next time instead of just deleting

[inland quail]

user error

[rigid bridge]

you're going to run into the same issue on ranger

[craggy gyro]

Just don’t get hit bro

[rigid bridge]

act 3 is tougher

[rugged tangle]

thats not the class, likely the gear

[craggy gyro]

Or play warrior

[zenith skiff]

yeah but theres no way to get gear

[rigid bridge]

user error

[twin kraken]

did you find a fix for this?

[rigid bridge]

ask for help

instead of just deleting your char

[zenith skiff]

oh well

[rugged tangle]

that doesnt change with other classes lol..... trading or getting lucky is best bet for gear

[craggy gyro]

Just keep farming gold then gamble on shop

[topaz phoenix]

PLS HELP! Q:-i just killed last boss doryani and i have so many of the tokens for firs trial left. Can i use them in cruel or do they only count/can be used only for the trial (where you get 1st ASC) in normal difficulty? PLS HELP!

[inland quail]

id items, use orbs. you probably hit a wall in act 2 because your talent mistakes compounded

[haughty niche]

i even said you have 20 char slots, theres literally no reason to delete a char

[craggy gyro]

Keep doing that until you get all the op gear

balbala in cruel, wth am i supposed to do when poison cloud ?

[lament stone]

life + elemental resists are pretty much the only stats you need on armour for the campaign, you can do the whole campaign with magic gear

[zenith skiff]

i have ocd

[craggy gyro]

Farm map again then gamble for gear in shop

[rigid bridge]

plenty of us playing solo self found (no trading) and are in endgame. You are probably missing some nuances/details

[craggy gyro]

1000x

[tardy mauve]

how many sockets can shield have?

[inland quail]

they dont change when you level up

[zenith skiff]

imma remake a sorc but just focus on shock

[magic elm]

is there a trading chat?

[rigid bridge]

you can farm, you can use your currency orbs, you can shop/gamble at vendors

there are lots of ways

you have to know what to look for

are you trying to boost your resists

your defenses and life

etc

are you getting damage from the tree

[lament stone]

by default 1, some uniques can have 2 by default, corrupting can give +1

[craggy gyro]

Nah just put one gear on then if u die then buy another set

Till one works

[rigid bridge]

enough that you can kill mobs without being swarmed

[zenith skiff]

yes bruh i know how rpgs work

[rugged tangle]

biggest thing for new players is learning the mechanics and what things influence survivability and dps the most

[craggy gyro]

Change ur gear every time u die then ur like woah this one works

[rigid bridge]

??? "getting damage from the tree" is not universal to all rpgs, sometimes damage is a trap for example

these are things specific to poe2

using all your crafting materials is also not universal

importance of resists is also not universal

[craggy gyro]

Nah if u follow what I said u probably able to clear the dude

[haughty niche]

poe1 for example going all in on damage from tree is a massive mistake. Poe2 doesn't really reward you for getting defenses from tree until lategame for ES, or for a bit of evasion

[craggy gyro]

In like 2 weeks

Why no

[rigid bridge]

yep. even in poe1 though it's helpful to get some damage from the tree early on and then spec out in midgame

[dusty gull]

im at act2 cruel diff. ive conpleted the wuest of Una, but i mashed B on ny controller so i didnt get the reward, 2 passive skill points. if i talk to her there is no option to redeem it and i cant complete the quest.

anyone know a solution?

[lethal vessel]

is trial of chaos boss different for each class? have done the quest now on 2 chars and each had different boss

[rugged tangle]

resists are indeed important but not entirely necessary until endgame(though they are nice to have some of before that).... it is entirely doable to have 0 resist for the campaign though you will feel squishy alot of the time... I did the entire campaign at like 0-10% all resists lol

[craggy gyro]

Same

[tardy mauve]

and body armor?

[haughty niche]

id say 0 res is suicide after act 1

[lament stone]

2 by default, some uniques have more

[craggy gyro]

Are u sure

[weak vortex]

is there a way to increase damage with cull

like how much hp the target needs to have

[haughty niche]

you dont need lhigh res but you WANT positive res. Even 20 res feels alright in campaign

[rugged tangle]

eh its not that bad if you're decent at dodging and positioning

[tardy mauve]

what about corrupted? Is it 3 or 4?

[craggy gyro]

Cuz I went all the way to endgame dualwielding 1h as a warrior

[rigid bridge]

"feel squishy a lot" is doing some heavy lifting there.

[lament stone]

3

[craggy gyro]

All offense

Only when defense in endgame

[rigid bridge]

but yeah you don't need max resists, but I felt pretty comfy with 40-60 res through campaing

unlike poe1 where you need 75 by the back half

[craggy gyro]

U only need to worry abt gear in endgame mate

[lament stone]

if you get a socket from corrupting an item it will only ever be +1

[craggy gyro]

Maybe

[tacit elk]

Will cast speed help me channel bonestorm faster?

[rugged tangle]

if its a spell then yes, you have to look at the tags on the skill

[craggy gyro]

how do i know what type of dmg a boss does ?

[dusty gull]

im at act2 cruel diff. ive completed the quest of Una, but i mashed B on ny controller so i didnt get the reward, 2 passive skill points. if i talk to her there is no option to redeem it and i cant complete the quest.

anyone know a solution?

[maiden marsh]

If you talk to her above the buy and sell you should have "quest name reward"

[lament stone]

sometimes its pretty clear, like its pretty easy to guess what is lightning/cold/fire, if a boss poisons you thats normally physical damage sometimes with a portion converted to chaos

[dusty gull]

there isnt

[maiden marsh]

sorry to hear that, it might be bugged for you.

[dusty gull]

yeah i was thinking that to. thanks for the help tho

[vivid valley]

Haha trial of chaos is nuts, guess I need tons more levels before I can tackle it

[craggy gyro]

would you happen to know what type of dmg balbala does with her golden daggers/shards ?

[maiden marsh]

which one ? 2nd ascendency ?

[lament stone]

balbala should be mostly physical

[nimble sluice]

should be physical yeah

[lament stone]

so not really anything you can do about it, except get more life/es

armour is really bad in poe2 atm

[twin venture]

hi should i only focus on 1 dmg type or can i go 2? I wanna do a witch chaos fire build idk if its good

[eager basin]

phys poison huh

[lament stone]

the poison is chaos damage

the damage of the hits is mostly physical

[eager basin]

ah, tracks

[lament stone]

its how enemies that poison are still able to hurt ci characters

[vivid valley]

yeah

[limpid adder]

I'm sure this has been asked 100 times. Just picking up POE2. Played d3 and d4 before. What what be a couple good classes as a first toon?

[craggy gyro]

i went full dodge, and it worked thanks. a ain't got no armor anyway in my build and she don't seem to care about evasion

[nimble sluice]

evasion works for her melees I think but I think in general it's just gonna be a lot of dodging

[rich raptor]

1 more hour on my download but this nfl game lit

[nimble sluice]

if there's a voiceline attached to a boss mechanic, evasion won't work iirc

[rugged tangle]

any class is good really, I would google and look at different classes/builds and see what you think would be fun for you

[verbal thunder]

where tf do i roll to dodge doryani's spinning laser bullshit

[nimble sluice]

against the direction of the spin

[dusky burrow]

thats not a rule, maybe a coincidence sometimes

[nimble sluice]

it only goes in one circile

[twin venture]

why cant i chat in #1308715058716610580 ?

[nimble sluice]

ah good to know

[verbal thunder]

so into the lasers?

[dusky burrow]

the thread is probably full (1000 members)

[nimble sluice]

pretty much

[radiant dirge]

Just got scammed, got those blueflame bracers gloves with 95% instead of 100%, sold them for 1 ex when they sell for 1 div, anything I can do? 😭😭😭

[nimble sluice]

Nope

[dusky burrow]

always dodge into attacks and towards the enemy

[twin venture]

bruh

[rugged tangle]

nope

[nimble sluice]

those lasers will run right through ya and if you time the dodge right, the lasers will pass you already once you exit the dodge

[twin venture]

ok just gonna post my question here then: is a split dmg build decent or should i focus on 1 dmg type? Thinking of going chaos/fire infernalist but id also be up for only chaos

[dusky burrow]

it really depends on the build

[viral cargo]

no

[dusky burrow]

split ele (cold/fire/light) is perfectly normal and common, chaos/ fire is harder to justify

[nimble sluice]

I have the same problem too

[dusky burrow]

you need to find a good reason why you would need to do that

[rugged tangle]

depends on how the dmg scales really, generally easier to scale one type but can be doable with multiple

[inland sentinel]

you sold them when you thought they were 1 ex but were a different price, then realized it was a different price later?

[viral cargo]

thats not a scam, thats a generous offer that was accepted

[twin venture]

purple/red looks cool (im new)

[twin kraken]

guess we're stuck in this hell together

[limpid adder]

I hear ranged classes are easier to learn with?

[green meadow]

What item filter to use?

[inland sentinel]

yeah you can't regret what you yourself priced and then sold

[nimble sluice]

neversink is popular

[dusky burrow]

the types of damage you deal dont change the visuals of the game

[rugged tangle]

more forgiving in alot of cases so ya I would say somewhat easier if you like ranged

[dusky burrow]

it depends on the skill & mtx & such

[vale swallow]

Hey is there a way to skip to the last ascendancie and get all the points?

[trim turret]

Kinda, but any class can use any item or skill.

[twin venture]

is chaos only witch bad

[twin kraken]

bro scammed himself

[twin venture]

minions are kinda soy imo

[twin kraken]

thats crazy

[dusky burrow]

only as bad as you make it

[nimble sluice]

melee still pretty fun though @limpid adder. Monk early game is kinda horrendous but it softens quite a bit afterwards

[dusky burrow]

it depends on the player

[rugged tangle]

no, if you dont want to do it yourself you can build currency and use carry service

[nimble sluice]

you can just kinda vibe

[lament stone]

no, you have to do each one to be able to do the next difficulty

[dusky burrow]

really?

[twin venture]

im a high skilled player in most games

[reef knoll]

can someone explain what this means ?

[limpid adder]

Yea i first started monk but keep dieing lol

[dusky burrow]

i thought you could skip them just fine

[nimble sluice]

yeah first like 15 levels you have to kite a bit

[vale swallow]

Ah bugger

[nimble sluice]

and by a bit I mean you become a psuedo ranged char for a bit lol

worth the grind though imo

[dusky burrow]

the distilled emotions part or the notable itself

[nimble sluice]

plays very well into class fantasy

[dusky burrow]

i can't say if that will translate.

[rugged tangle]

certain skills are used on a shocked enemy to grant power charges etc, which "consumes/takes off" the shock so this gives a chance to keep the shock on target

[reef knoll]

the passive itself

[reef knoll]

ohhh thanks

[lament stone]

some skills can consume ailments applied to enemies

[reef knoll]

what are the distilled emotions btw ?

[vale swallow]

Who can run through the ascendancies?

[dusky burrow]

you take three three currnecies displayed in the top right, right click one of them

[twin venture]

what are t he other unreleased classes?

[nimble sluice]

what do you mean by who?

I mean like anyone can if you have the right token

[dusky burrow]

it will open a window, insert an ammy, insert the three distilled emotions, it will add an enchantment modifier that allocates the notable (granting you its effects) when equipped

[trim turret]

We only have 6/12 classes and 12/36 subclasses.

[dusky burrow]

huntress druid templar shadow marauder duelist

[reef knoll]

end game ?

[dusky burrow]

maps, yeah

[vale swallow]

I'm too low level but can do up to the third

[nimble sluice]

sure but what's the point of your question

[reef knoll]

much appreciated ❤️

[vivid cedar]

dang was hoping drops would be better in cruel tf

[vivid valley]

Oh I was wrong, it was only 4 rooms for ascendancy, nice

[nimble sluice]

I don't get what you mean by who can do ascendency trials when the answer is basically everyone

[trim turret]

They are. Higher level bases anyway.

[vale swallow]

Looking for help to get through them

[nimble sluice]

if you're for someone to run through them for you then ask in #2┃looking-for-group

ah yeah ask in there then

[vivid cedar]

idk doesnt feel tht way :/

[nimble sluice]

there's usually people lurking to carry (though maybe for a price)

[dusky burrow]

i mean they objectively speaking are

[inland sentinel]

just reiterating services where currency is expected is not endorsed by us

[desert sedge]

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

[vivid cedar]

ig just a bad luck than

[nimble sluice]

Gotcha gotcha

[vivid cedar]

trough whole campaign?

[nimble sluice]

Idk if we're allowed to talk about carry services?

but broadly speaking if someone can do it for you, there's probably someone willing to do it

[trim turret]

May not happen immediately in cruel but items with higher base damage/defense rolls definitely start dropping.

[inland sentinel]

campaign carries are not usually done without some form of currency

most people wouldn't do that for free

[vivid cedar]

ruins the game imo

[twin venture]

subclasses?

you mean ascendancy stuff?

[inland sentinel]

in poe 1 you could go on tft but it's like 9-10 divs for a full carry, idk how much it costs for poe 2

or even if it can be done reasonably quick

[viscid willow]

these defences enough to begin mapping?

[vagrant tinsel]

this server is wierd on rules they say no trading when they have a trading chat and no carry services when in looking for group it's only that

[rugged tangle]

should be fine

[nimble sluice]

the trade channel is no chat...

[nimble sluice]

it leads you to a completely different place

[inland sentinel]

trading incentivizes spam, carry services is not the point of our server

[next olive]

which immunity do i go with or dont matter?

[viscid willow]

thanks

[inland sentinel]

there are servers that are exclusively for those 2 things

[twin venture]

how to get more ascendancy skill points?

[vivid cedar]

trough trials

[rugged tangle]

generally whatever your lowest resistance is though later in the game they drop alot so not a major decision

[nimble sluice]

how many do you have

[half ingot]

Doesn't matter, you can buy or loot them all and with better stats too

[nimble sluice]

1st and 2nd you run and get the djinn token and ultimatium during campaign

[next olive]

cool just making sure it wasnt some weird perm thing like the venom draught

[nimble sluice]

3rd you need a level 60+ token and 4th you need a level 75+ I believe

[craggy gyro]

i killed balbala in act 2 cruel, but it propped me with the mission to free her afterwards. what should i do ?

[twin venture]

2

[nimble sluice]

oh refer to that image above

[haughty niche]

Ignore thar quest. Its not supposed to be in cruel

[jaunty cove]

How many regals to exalted is a fair trade

[nimble sluice]

that's a normal mission right

[jaunty cove]

Trying to trade and neither of us knownwhat is the market value

[twin venture]

so i just have to go back to that spot with the djinn girl and do anaother run?

[nimble sluice]

could just use in game currency exchange

[haughty niche]

Use ingame currency exchange

[late condor]

quick question, on the world map skulls that are greyed out represent bosses ive already killed right?
