[dark skiff]

Oh, I'm famous!

[foggy birch]

relentless

[dark skiff]

I do appear there quite a bit, yes.

Like chatting to people.

Is there a way to always have this one off? It seems to turn on every time I open the window.

[steel violet]

do totems count as minions in poe2?

[stark lynx]

Nah, thats how that fight always ends up

[dark skiff]

I mean, I know. It's just that I reach this point by the time the boss is like at 30% HP xd.

So it's a pretty tight space to dodge.

[stark lynx]

Time to dodge roll better

Yeah it does some clenching

[dark skiff]

I figured.

I did beat it already.

It's just that on my first char I have not experienced this.

Pretty sure I steamrolled the boss before the arena became so obscured.

[foggy birch]

turn off the tutorial in game settings and see if that works

[dark skiff]

Nope, doesn't, sadly.

[onyx warren]

In mobalytics how do you see which attribute was chosen for the +5 atribute nodes?

[violet belfry]

question if an item has 100% increased amount of life leech but you dont have any life leech does that make it useless?

[soft orbit]

yes

[soft orbit]

you just take what is required for the stats on your gear

[violet belfry]

does it only affect passive skill tree life leech or does it also affect heal per kill and enemy hit

[soft orbit]

following builds is not always about replicating their setup 1:1

[soft orbit]

life on kill and life on hit is not leech

[foggy birch]

first of all

why u on that site

[haughty niche]

Mobalytics is fine

[soft orbit]

there's plenty of fine builds on there

[violet belfry]

any idea on when you can get the first node of life leech as warrior?

[foggy birch]

yea cus these fuckers copied it from maxroll already

[violet belfry]

cant seem to find any that arent quite far out

[soft orbit]

max roll has much more dubious builds in my experience lol

but either way the actual creator matters more

than the website

[scenic salmon]

Leech nodes don't give leech

[haughty niche]

I saw a ton of mobalytics builds up first this time actually. Maxroll vets things more so you end up with fewer builds to select from, but of higher quality

[soft orbit]

rolls on weapons and gloves

[hearty ingot]

Which class has fastest clear speed and farming? Doesn't rely on expensive gear

[soft orbit]

deadeye

definitely scales into expensive though

[haughty niche]

Grab life leech on gloves so you can keep upgrading your weapon

[violet belfry]

guess ill do that once i get my hand on carnage

but the fucker thats selling it for 3 exalted dont wanna respond

[soft orbit]

I don't think life leech is in a particularly good state for what it's worth

[haughty niche]

Ggg fucked up making only sources of half the game's defenses on gear and not tree. Removes our ability to fix issues quickly and causes us to be overreliant on gear

[scenic salmon]

Remove crafting
Remove the passive tree

Power where?

[haughty niche]

Still gear

[violet belfry]

whats the highest amount of life leech u can even get on gloves

[haughty niche]

But you cant get any easily

[violet belfry]

is it like 20% or something

[haughty niche]

Ive seen upwards of 5 or 6%

But its % of the damage you deal, not your actual life

[violet belfry]

i know

[soft orbit]

and mobs have a resistance value so probably even less

I wouldn't be relying on it for much

[versed kraken]

Is it possible to see the gems menu whitout a craftable gems

[strong crown]

is there a site I can find info for special uniques and where they drop?

[haughty niche]

Ye. I use poe2db

[scenic salmon]

Fun!
I really I'm enjoying the game but come on
Does it have to be ruthless?
I feel like you can make people weak by giving shit instead of giving nothing

[violet belfry]

the 4 life leech nodes close to warrior gives u a total of 85% more life leech is that 85% of the % life leech u got

[versed kraken]

That's a website ?

[soft orbit]

game doesn't feel like ruthless at all to me

[haughty niche]

Poe2db kinda. A lot of uniques are global

[violet belfry]

like 85% of 5%?

[soft orbit]

yes

[haughty niche]

Yes

[versed kraken]

Okay thank you

[violet belfry]

so what like with those nodes close to 8% maybe ish

with the carnage neck thats 16% i guess

[fluid heart]

what's the name of chaos res rune?

[soft orbit]

if you open the currency exchange you can check easily

[haughty niche]

Wouldnt be surprised if there wasnt one

[soft orbit]

that's what I do cuz I always forget

[fluid heart]

oh yeah good idea, thanks

[haughty niche]

Ggg doesnt give chaos res easily

[scenic salmon]

Leech formulas are weird though
It has a cap and different words interact in one way or another

[soft orbit]

it's a soul core but still exists

and not very expensive

[violet belfry]

seems like u can get up to 22% life leech with 6% life leech gloves carnage amulet and the 4 life leech warrior nodes

thats kinda big no?

[soft orbit]

I don't think that is worth investing in

amulet is a large power slot which you give up, and there's a lot of powerful nodes around warrior start

[night pike]

is anyone getting insane lag? f1 says im fine tho

[scenic salmon]

Only one way to find out!

[violet belfry]

i mean the life leech is close to the edge so

[soft orbit]

all to get leech which is much worse than life on kill for mapping, and pretty unnoticeable on bosses vs just using your flask

[fluid heart]

it's probably better going for more defense with just a bit of life leech, getting lot of life leech isn't gonna help you tank frontloaded dmg

[violet belfry]

i mean with carnage it gives u elemental resists too and attributes, but u lose 20% life

[soft orbit]

yeah I mean

that is not very good

resists are relatively easy to cap especially in a build without uniques

and warrior does not struggle for attributes

[violet belfry]

if they choose to add more life leech maybe it would be viable

[fluid heart]

carnage?

[charred knoll]

hey guys... i have an armomr that gives me +33 spirit but when i equip it, Im only getting my spirit increased from 30 to 43 so only 13 is getting added...

Is there anyone having similar issues and is this a bug or just normal?

[violet belfry]

carnage amulet

[slim bloom]

How do I access hideout decor menu if I use controller?

[charred knoll]

it should be 63 if im not mistaken...

[violet belfry]

carnage heart amber amulet

[fluid heart]

oh pretty nice, thx for the info

[violet belfry]

np

[fluid heart]

ah yeah I see now, the minus 20% hp hmmm

[scenic salmon]

Neat bug
Try equipping and then log out

[regal shore]

What do I do with orbs of Aug

[soft orbit]

did you read them

[charred knoll]

yeah still having the same issue...

[regal shore]

It says add as modifier for what

[scenic salmon]

Add "a"modifier to a magic item where you getting lost

[regal shore]

What's it supposed to do dose it add stats

[cold cargo]

anyone can tell me what does corrupted mean on the item

[soft orbit]

yes

each line of text on an item is a modifier

[charred knoll]

thanks will try!

[soft orbit]

press alt and hover over the words that are underlined

[scenic salmon]

Each line or each 2 depends on the day

[soft orbit]

it will give a detailed explanation

[modern quail]

u cant mod a item anymore when it is corrupted

[obsidian meteor]

How does Block Chance work if Raise Shield gives 100% block rate?

[modern quail]

.

[cold cargo]

thank you

[regal shore]

I'm levele 23 should I worry about finding gear

[soft orbit]

you should be continually trying to upgrade your gear

[regal shore]

Where do I upgrade Is it at home base town

Srry

[soft orbit]

you can use currency on items anywhere

[minor basalt]

I noticed in some youtube videos that the sorceress sometimes has health that appears like a shield. Can someone please explain how that works?

[soft orbit]

energy shield?

it's an implicit type of gear like armour or evasion

see the lines at the top

and then modified by modifiers in the affix section

[obtuse sphinx]

omg im so stupid. Somehow i didnt considered that i DONT have to take honour shrines with afflications in trial .....

[soft orbit]

sekhema is a learning curve but once you get it (and some good relics) it becomes very easy for most builds i think

[shut abyss]

probly this

[minor basalt]

Maybe... Thanks moppari

[shut abyss]

maybe?

[minor basalt]

Sorry, I meant that I’ll have to give it a try. However, I still need to earn some more passive points first

[soft orbit]

it is unadvisable to use that node unless you already have a large energy shield pool

giving up all your life (which you get for free mostly from levelling) is a big opportunity cost relative to what you gain if you're not already quite invested in energy shield

that is both in terms of gear and other passive points in energy shield related nodes

[naive moth]

It is worth noting that the reduction takes place after things like ghostwrithe

[minor basalt]

Thank you for the advice... time to get back to playing

[arctic bobcat]

what does the 2nd line mean exactly ?

[devout hare]

you loose mana when you heal using that flask

[arctic bobcat]

ahh okay

[cold cargo]

what does item level mean

[devout hare]

level of item

[soft orbit]

higher ilvl = higher tier mods can roll on it

[cold cargo]

thank you

[weak vortex]

in the trial of chaos are there 8 sections and a boss at 4 and 8

[balmy bolt]

where do i farm the three dragons

[soft orbit]

that is not how drops work in path of exile

vast majority of uniques do not have specific drop locations

[balmy bolt]

ohh

[soft orbit]

some are tied to specific bosses but it is not the norm

[balmy bolt]

that sucks

[hearty ingot]

What class to use to farm maps and doesn't rely on expensive currency?

[soft orbit]

deadeye as i said the last time you asked

[timber fjord]

how do i attack my monk bell with left click? its weird

[foggy birch]

u have autism_

?

[placid lintel]

are you able to have help with the trials or no?

[stark lynx]

None and all

[rough lintel]

enfeeble or temp chains better with blasphemy?

[stark lynx]

Different flavour

One makes you able to survive more hits, other makes it less likely you get hit in the first place

Which is better, depends on you

[hardy elbow]

does this affect work on lightning skills that dont already chain, or is it just for chaining spells?

[stark lynx]

Depends if its a projectile that hits or not

[hardy elbow]

What about spark

[foggy birch]

read the description

it literally says

[hardy elbow]

it doesnt

[rugged kayak]

I just had 3 orbs of chance give me 3 uniques in a row lmfao.

[tropic anchor]

hi im new here and i was wondering if i should get poe2. i know its early access but is it relatively fleshed out and have lots to do? also, is it a game i can play forever, does it have endgame?

[rugged kayak]

if u want an extremely annoyingly hard end game sure. if not, DEF no

[shut abyss]

hard? what do you mean

[obsidian meteor]

What's the node/item/skill that lets block chance block spells?

[scenic salmon]

I think it's worth playing just for the campaign but don't play a melee class

[versed kraken]

The game says that my graphic card are not update with driver but i don't find anything on internet do you have a solution ?

[eternal mica]

if im going ot use chaos innoc, what can i do to make use of my hp points?

they will go to 1, is there any way to convert them or utilize them?

[shut abyss]

you need that 1 hp to stay alive

[scenic salmon]

Ghost writhe is bug right now with CI isn't it

[eternal mica]

hmm hp goes to maximum of 1 so i guess no conversion is possible

[timber fjord]

excuse me? you cant left click attack the bell and you call me mentally challenged?

[shut abyss]

oh yeah you can hold shift to stop moving then you can hit in the general direction of the bell

[desert quarry]

Can someone jump in and give me a hand with count geonor. ive cleared this mansion top to botoom 5 times and still havent got a 5th level skill, im loosin my brain

[timber fjord]

i already know that, but wanted a way around having to hold in place. looks like you can hold attack bell placement then attack freely with right click and it connects

[frigid badge]

should i save gold or just gamble it for random items that i feel like i should get upgrade to?

[shut abyss]

thats all i got, sometimes the bell works with you sometimes not so much

[timber fjord]

thanks for the mature response instead of calling me autistic, when it was a question in beginning channel

[shut abyss]

sometimes people went their bad feelings in the wrong places

[eternal mica]

hmmm will look into it

[orchid sonnet]

How does vitality (support node) work on plague bearer (passive)? Is it A: always active, B: only work while charging, C only work while 100% or D: only when using the active ?

[icy nymph]

Any spark user here ? which anoint does the Archmage Spark build want on Everlasting Gaze Amulet ? the +50% pierce one or something like Mana Toughness ? thx for any help!

[tacit knot]

Is blink better then dodge roll? And is the demon from blood mage really thwt much better at dodge roll? How does she feel?

Men cant wait , soon we will have 36 ascendancies lol this gwme is gonma be incredible

Endless theorycraftingnXR

XD

[quick cipher]

gamble, by the time you hit 75+ you will have 1 million and almost no use for it

[frigid badge]

thanks

[obsidian meteor]

What's the node/item/skill that lets block chance block spells?

[fading carbon]

Can anyone tell me how to get an emerald? I've been grid ing for hours and haven't come across any

[shut abyss]

only grind way i know if is trials of sekhlmsomething

[toxic hedge]

how many gems can you put on a skill?

[tacit knot]

Whats an anoint hoe does it work

[shut abyss]

supports? 5

[toxic hedge]

2 from basic
+1 from lesser jewelers orb
+1 from jewelers orb
+1 Vaal?

[shut abyss]

personally vaal hates me but last one is perfect

[toxic hedge]

time to sell all my vaals then

thank you

[shut abyss]

uh oh

they can be useful

[dark skiff]

Can I gain life leech from items if I have none in my kit?

[long sequoia]

what is the use of this?

[timber fjord]

do i have to do the first trial to progress more into act 2?

[foggy birch]

trial of shaksmhmsmsm

@long sequoia

[shut abyss]

loot/xp

[shut abyss]

no

[long sequoia]

ah, i'll hold onto it for now then thanks

[shut abyss]

i'm assuming you did your ascendancy already and know about those

[foggy birch]

yup

[dark skiff]

So far I can only find uniques with this property.

[long sequoia]

Yeah

[tacit knot]

If I bleed an enemy with one hit, then dont cause bleeding with a much bigger hit, will the bleed be replaced by rhe bigger hit? Both physical

[violet belfry]

Would these 2 weapons be worth anything at all, or should i just disenchant them?

[autumn bramble]

hello im new to the game would it be possible to get some help understanding this game and this build im looking. im a level 10 witch

[soft orbit]

people are happy to help if you have a specific question

but broadly "explain the game" is not do-able

[shut abyss]

<70 level gear usually aren't worth much

[violet belfry]

not even just 1 exalted

[errant vapor]

kill stuff to get better loot so you can kill stuff harder to get better loot to kill stuff even harder

[foggy birch]

'explaining the game' u better of watching a yt guide...

[soft orbit]

think about it this way, what reason would someone have to buy the gear

[shut abyss]

might be, you'd have to check the market for similiar items, sidekick can help you with that

[soft orbit]

someone might buy low level gear while levelling, but only if it is significantly better than the average

[tacit knot]

If I bleed an enemy with one hit, then dont cause bleeding with a much bigger hit, will the bleed be replaced by rhe bigger hit? Both physical

[soft orbit]

random gear with bad/mediocre stats will not sell

[frigid badge]

kek

[violet belfry]

+2 to melee skills

[soft orbit]

if the 2nd hit doesn't bleed there is nothing to replace it with

[autumn bramble]

yeah i can imagine its not doable. im playing witch character and cant seem to figure out how this class works and im following a build guide and i seem to be doing stuff wrong aha

[soft orbit]

that is one affix with middling impact on an otherwise useless weapon

[tacit knot]

Ah 😦

Ty 🙂 a lot

[soft orbit]

weapons generally need to have high % phys, flat phys or flat elemental damage to be useful

[frigid badge]

thats a bullshit, loot dropped i clicked respawn and now there is no loot

[errant vapor]

you died...

[frigid badge]

and cant even redo the fight

[soft orbit]

as those are the base values from which all damage scales, in most cases

[errant vapor]

you dont deserve loot if you die...

[frigid badge]

then atleast let me redo the fight

[errant vapor]

No, continue on. You got lucky that it counted the kill 😄

[soft orbit]

you are usually forced to redo it if you die

[frigid badge]

not this one
i killed boss and it killed me at the same time, npc came and talked to boss on the ground
loot dropped but the fight is over

[soft orbit]

happens, loot disappearing on death is intended if unpopular

but normally it respawns

[errant vapor]

wait till you learn that juicing endgame maps with multiple modifiers and then dying in there causes ALL that effort to make the map profitable is just gone with the wind

[frigid badge]

its literally act 1 finall boss? can i redo the fight somehow?

[errant vapor]

clear the zone again

[shut abyss]

you can probly redo the fight if you reset th map(ctrl+leftclicking the entrance) but idk

[soft orbit]

you would have to redo the whole zone from the beginning

ctrl click an instance door to open a fresh instance

[frigid badge]

atleast there was no green item from it

[violet belfry]

imagine if boss fights saved when you hit the next phase

would be awesome

[errant vapor]

thats poe1.

[soft orbit]

that would just make the game easier

and they would make bosses less rewarding as a consequence

[errant vapor]

in poe1 you could literally run cast on death - portal and anytime you died you could just continue from the exact point you died in

[violet belfry]

as if bosses are rewarding already

[soft orbit]

they are extremely rewarding

[violet belfry]

omg a whole yellow item

[errant vapor]

bosses are the most rewarding thing in the game 😄

[soft orbit]

have you finished the campaign?

[violet belfry]

insane reward for trying to kill a boss 10 times

no

im talking about campaign bosses

[half ingot]

It shows

[errant vapor]

you are mad you are not getting good loot from tutorial? 😄

[soft orbit]

campaign bosses you already have infinite retries

[violet belfry]

🤡 tutorial

[soft orbit]

the game does not need to be any easier

[errant vapor]

acts are the literal tutorial to the game my man...

[junior cave]

Need help killing Doryani

[half ingot]

#2┃looking-for-group

[violet belfry]

no tutorial is the tutorial that teaches you how to play the game

[errant vapor]

exactly

the acts

teach you how the game works before it unleashes you on your own in to the waystone system

[violet belfry]

only thing this game is teaching anyone is how to spam dodge roll

[soft orbit]

the camapign is designed to introduce you to the mechanics which make up the endgame, which is where the vast majority of time is spent for players

[violet belfry]

cuz thats basically waht you have to do

[soft orbit]

spamming dodgeroll is a bad way of playing

[errant vapor]

running is faster than dodging

dodging is for when you fuck up your positioning and need to gtfo asap

[soft orbit]

you will be punished by harder bosses for spamming it

[half ingot]

Explains why he doesn't see the acts as a tutorial, hasn't learned anything yet

[soft orbit]

well like i said the acts don't need to be any easier

[violet belfry]

dodging is when a boss or bullshit enemy decides to annoy the shit out of u

[fair arch]

Man the diffrence between 100% loot find and 15% loot find is kinda insane...

[soft orbit]

they are not punishing

[errant vapor]

I love grouping up for the first boss in utzaal. The aoe spam she does makes people either spam dodge and die due to the slowness of spam dodges or they just casually walk around dodging all the dmg 😄

[soft orbit]

you can clear the acts just fine with suboptimal gameplay

[fair arch]

WAYYY more than 100%. Feels like you get no yellows from every rare/boss but than pump up loot find and every rare/boss drops 1 or more yellows

[half ingot]

Magic find is arguably the best Statline in the game

[placid swan]

is there a way to get orbs other than from enemy drops

[soft orbit]

trade

[errant vapor]

Its fun watching some crazy fuckers have like +600% rarity and the amount of loot they get is absolutely bonkers..

[half ingot]

Collecting shards through disenchantment

[fair arch]

damn wtf 600%?! is that even possible?

[errant vapor]

with expensive af setup, yes

2x andvarius rings + the belt that boosts ring stats is allready like +200% (if not more) rarity%

[scenic salmon]

I haven't seen testing with and without magic find though...

[errant vapor]

consensus seems to be that not having atleast 100% rarity is basically wasting waystones because you get so much less loot

[half ingot]

It's quite noticable having magic find on just one item, I don't think we need extensive testing to know it works

Although it would be cool to see some metrics

[fair arch]

it does feel like loot find is kinda like armour in that its less effective the higher you get. Not 100% sure but i have a char with 350% loot find and compared to 250% loot find it isnt as insane as the first 150%

[errant vapor]

compare 0% and 100%

its night and day

[foggy birch]

currency exchange

[soft orbit]

that's the opposite of how armour works

[clever geode]

stupid game this checkpoint is bugged

[fair arch]

Ohh for sure. I playing a new char now and decided to not worry about loot find but quickly realised that was a mistake when I got like 5 yellows for Act 1.... I would have at least 30 if i had 100%

[foggy birch]

wtf are there no maps stash or im trippin

[soft orbit]

there is not

it's WIP

[versed parrot]

Hey, i have reached cruel difficulty, is it worth to do all sidequests again or just rushing trough the acts?

[onyx locust]

hey guys i'm sure it has been mentioned before - i am trying to find a dependant way to apply shock so i bought a bow to use as my second weapon and hit with stormcaller arrow, while my character does switch to bow when i use the arrow ability when i try to use crossbow abilities again - my character switch to walking mode and is unable to use any crossbow abilities (?) even if i press the weapon switch button it won't work.. anyone knows how to fix?

[half ingot]

As long as you pick up the permanent stuff from sidebosses you can rush it

Passive points, resist increases etc.

[versed parrot]

Aye, thank you

[obtuse sphinx]

is there anywhere visible your stats with trial buffs (like hon resistance, increase defences etc..) ?

[lethal vessel]

maybe not a question for this chat but how to make the numbers for hp/mana be permanently visible?

[soft orbit]

when you are choosing your next room it's in the bottom left somewhere

[obtuse sphinx]

options interface show life.mana levels

[obtuse sphinx]

ah, only then. :/ had such a good run and wanted to see final levels

3 trials done. last boss almost didnt do damage lol (but I think path was extremely lucky). Hoepufully 4 levels will go smooth too

[soft orbit]

with good relics sekhema is a breeze

poe1 speed

[shut abyss]

then you get -25 movement speed on trial of time boss and die because you too slow

[soft orbit]

doesn't effect my build

you can do it with 0%ms though

so assuming you have 30% boots, still doable

[shut abyss]

first time i took too long figuring out the mechanics and didin't have enough time to run around

[tacit knot]

Does armour energy shield gear exist?

Like strength int

Chest helm etc

[soft orbit]

it does

[chilly juniper]

Number of trials on my chymera trial says "4" but when in the trial, it says 10 rounds. What does number of trials mean?

[soft orbit]

it's just wrong

it will end after 4

10 is the max

4/7/10

[cold cargo]

can someone help me kill a boss ign: cadiy

[chilly juniper]

ah I see, thanks! Do I need to complete it to get the ascendancy point? What if I end it early becasue I want a certain item? Can I repeat it then?

[true spindle]

Help someone trolled a lot of people in here in his hideout and i dunno how to port out :c

[soft orbit]

you would need to get another drop of the key to enter

but you could do that

[soft orbit]

type /hideout

[chilly juniper]

and if I die, do I have unlimited attempts?

[true spindle]

but i dont have a hidepout

[soft orbit]

with the quest item you do

with regular you do not

[chilly juniper]

makes sense, thanks!

[plucky shoal]

Hi there, can someone help me with jamandra, i just cant get it done

[soft orbit]

what's your IGN

[true spindle]

MonkDLufffyy 😂

[soft orbit]

ill invite you, tp to me

[obtuse sphinx]

My relics. Hopefully they will be good enough
Increased defences 49 / honor resist 88 / honor restored 44 / mon. red. dmg 6
mov speed 5 / quanity of keys 12

[chilly juniper]

but the quest item is in the altar/my inventory

[soft orbit]

the quest item is not consumed, you just redo the trial

click close/create instance again

[chilly juniper]

I see, thanks!

[alpine silo]

they really want to get to me

[true spindle]

thank you i was stuck there since 10 minutes haha

[soft orbit]

np

[scenic salmon]

OMG that's a Poe 1 bug

It came back to us!!!

[alpine silo]

they can also still attack me if i stand to close

[scenic salmon]

There were some great clips of hardcore players getting near and finding out

[shut helm]

anyone want to help me

in act 2

the trail of corruption

[alpine silo]

[shut helm]

im in help room 1 call if you want to assist

[whole furnace]

A question about charms, this resistences they give, do they always give them or do they give them as long as the charms have charges?

[soft orbit]

only when active

[whole furnace]

Yes, but it says "recover 4 life when used" it doesn't say "25% to fire resistence when used" which is why my doubt arrised

[soft orbit]

it isn't always active

[frigid badge]

am i somehow supposed to be able to interact with it? or should i do something else first on the map?

[whole furnace]

Plus the resistence is in a totally different spot, so it could be a separation between always active and consumed

[soft orbit]

the separation is between implicit and explicit modifiers

[whole furnace]

Understood, thanks!

[soft orbit]

you can equip it and check your fire res, then unequip

it will not change

[topaz phoenix]

HELP PLS! Q: whats the price of "jeweller's orb" atm? also how can i check if the poetrade is flooded with false prices/offers?

[vivid valley]

does chance to inflict ailments affect freeze or is it only "built up" till it passes the enemy's threshold?

reddit says no

hrm

[shut abyss]

hmm, well freeze already inflicted yes?

[shut abyss]

alva currency trader?

[topaz phoenix]

y ty!

[silk hound]

cant direct whisper anyone on trade website, it says invalid query... someone knows how to fix it?

[craggy gyro]

what is ascendancy class

[vivid valley]

so basically all cold damage "can" freeze, so it adds to the counter

[shut abyss]

afaik

[vivid valley]

[torn estuary]

Just finishing up second run through acts on a witch got a bramblejack

I guess it's warrior time now?

[soft orbit]

would not reroll for a single pretty bad unique but up to you

[frigid badge]

whats the best way to reset traders items?

[torn estuary]

I've run a Merc to end game, and a witch up to cruel

Is bramblejack that bad? Lol

[soft orbit]

it has 45 armour and 80 life

high level armour pieces can have like 2000+

and 200 life

thorns has very little support

it's ok for early levelling, that's it

[stark pike]

this quest keep showing this after completeing the campaign how do i remove this

[shut abyss]

go find the fella(in the maps)

or turn it off in the options

[vital crane]

You have to interact with the monolith on the atlas map. It's a big structure you can see through the fog of war

Bigger than a tower

Then speak to him after, the quest text is bugged

[stark pike]

so even after im done the quest is still thr?

[vital crane]

If you follow the steps I listed it will go away

It's just displaying the wrong text right now

[errant vapor]

didnt help me. went to the monolith and interacted with all, all doryani voice lines procced

still have the quest text to speak to him

[vital crane]

That's strange

[alpine silo]

do stats on a wand only apply to the wand skill? or also any other spells you cast?

[vital crane]

Any spells

[alpine silo]

nice, thanks

[stark pike]

yeah same for me

[patent juniper]

Hey quick question, just got a drop with 8 modifiers? I thought the max was 6?

[delicate ice]

cast of fereeze pointelss now?

[errant vapor]

i have a feeling that i have skipped speaking to doryani on 1 of my chars and that is bugging the quest text for all of em

[soft orbit]

some mods are hybrid and give lower amounts of two things

hold alt and you can see the groupings

[regal shore]

Will this be OK

[stark pike]

i guess i will have to stick with this bug i guess

[regal shore]

Compared to this

[patent juniper]

i might be being blind, but i dont see the groupings you mentioned?

[regal shore]

Or

[scenic salmon]

Look at the tiers in the right of the image
They encompass one two or three lines

[regal shore]

Orange

[patent juniper]

ohh okay

[soft orbit]

you can check your tooltip dps for a decent comparison

[patent juniper]

thank you :)

[regal shore]

Which is better for me

[alpine silo]

idk how that is even a question

[regal shore]

I wanna say ornage cause I had that dam blue stage since beginning of act 1 I'm act 2 just for orange staff

Staff

[vital crane]

Yeah dw the ui is weirdly hard to see currently

[worthy forge]

Is there a way to increase quality of skill gems??

[vital crane]

Gemcutters prisms

[worthy forge]

Ok thanks. Significant difference??

[soft orbit]

depends on the gem

some it is huge, some it might be irrelevant to how you are using it

[alpine silo]

at what point can higher level support gems drop?

[vital crane]

Hold alt to see per gem. It's quite impactful usually

Some gems don't have their quality implemented yet

[spark coyote]

does the stats from the 2nd weapon set in the 2nd slot carry over to the 1st weapon slot?

[fossil bolt]

Hello, I got that djinn thingy and its description says completing its ascension trial doesn't give ascendancy points, what are the benefits for completing it then?

[stark pike]

can i use both pierce and chain for spark?

[hushed sage]

What is like the recommended level for trial of chaos in act 3? I am level 37 rn and I am getting destroyed...

[noble scaffold]

helppp

i cannot travel to ascent

[alpine silo]

are you using a waypoint?

[noble scaffold]

it's lock

TT

[alpine silo]

maybe you didn't activate it? otherwise just use the caravan desert map

[noble scaffold]

this is the first time in the character

the first img is me trying to use the desert map

[alpine silo]

ah

well idk what it is then. hopefully you're not locked out. just in case, maybe logging out and back in helps?

otherwise i have no idea

[trim turret]

No. Only what you have in your hands.

[noble scaffold]

Not working

I have no idea

TT

[timid flax]

is there a max number of runes/soul cores you can have equipped? i have a free slot on my chest but cant socket anything

[tacit knot]

Block negates all damage right, whether its aoe, spells or attacks? Except dot?

[azure lava]

press R3 and hover over block to read more about it. I believe it only negates strikes and projectiles by default (much like evasion)

[obsidian meteor]

Is King of the Mists's root ability bugged? I keep moving, but it still roots me...

[azure lava]

it has two versions; sometimes you need to keep moving,s ometimes you need to stay still

[obsidian meteor]

Oh. When I read the debuff, it always says to move.

So I have no idea how to tell which one is which...

[gentle hound]

i cant even start the game anymore. It freezes everytime

[wanton gate]

How does this work? I dont see my skeletal warrior skill anywhere, though I should be able to select it? Or is this auto-cast?

[azure lava]

not sure, I don't have the game open rn, but I'd read the full tooltip of the thing you're trying to socket (including the grey text at the bottom)

[worthy linden]

anyone know what's "the reliquary vault" on endgame mapping? what does it do?

[alpine silo]

warriors don't have command skills

[azure lava]

click the DPS arrow next to it and then select how many you want active at the bottom

[azure lava]

if it's the same as poe1, you go there when you find a reliquary key and you get open the vault to get a random shiny unique item.

Also #2┃after-acts-help

[lament stone]

if its a minion skill granted by a sceptre theyre automatically summoned

[chilly juniper]

am I dumb (very likely) or is this not worded correctly?

or is it 2 separate sentences?

[shut abyss]

2

[timid flax]

had to restart game, wasn't allowing me to click on the specific open socket and would only let me hover over the piece of gear... all good now

[tacit knot]

When u say by default do u know how to change this

[azure lava]

I think there is a keystone that lets block apply to all hits, but you get less block or something. I'm not sure, tbh

[worthy linden]

Ty, let me head over there

[tacit knot]

I mean it says strikes and projectiles. Does that mean no aoe?

[azure lava]

yeah, press R3 and read more about strikes and projectiles

[tacit knot]

Doesnt sound like a great investment

[vagrant shoal]

How do i fight disgraced when he does the poison attack?

[azure lava]

all hits except aoe are strikes or projectiles tho. Evasion works the same way

[azure lava]

they turn invisible, teleport to a random spot in the arena, and start spreading the green poison. If you walk near them, they reappear and the poison recedes. You gotta run around like a madman until you find them and stop the poison

[tacit knot]

Ia this valuable? Idk... Feels like, yea. Ans rhe node ur talking about doesnt seem to exist, maybe poe 1 node

[vagrant shoal]

No? I saw him stand there and he was invincible

[azure lava]

this is the fight in traitor's passage, right?

[vagrant shoal]

Yeah

Im gonna try again maybe it will work now idk

[azure lava]

that's what I've done every fight and it seemed to work how I described. Maybe I got lucky and did something else correctly the whole time. Maybe you need to kill one of the adds? I've only done the fight 3ish times

[azure lava]

yeah, I can't find anything on the tree for it either. I said "by default" because poe has so many ways to tinker with stuff through uniques, skills, passives, etc. I wanted to cover my bases

[vivid valley]

lulz I pinged 4 people trying to buy a ring and got no response and 5 minutes later I find a better ring than any I was bidding on

[weak vortex]

how does reforging work

[zealous osprey]

A sign from above

[vivid valley]

must be lol

[tacit knot]

But am i missing something that it doesnt seem very valuable?

[azure lava]

put in three items of the same type and rarity and you get a new unidentified item of the same type and rarity with the ilvl of the lowest item you put in

[tacit knot]

I mean aoe is like constantly

[weak vortex]

ah ty

[tacit knot]

Most spells, some slams, like 20%+ of mobs donit

Most od the times even the nost dangerous ones

[azure lava]

I haven't played enough to know which stats are the most valuable. If you use a shield, block seems pretty accessible, though. And shields can also have other good stats on them. It's not entirely a question of value, it's a question of opportunity cost.

[vivid valley]

man why did they move the play button from where it was on poe1, I almost click on delete character every time out of habit

[tacit knot]

Also, is it safe to say pretty much all dangerous boss attacks are unblockable even w active block?

[azure lava]

mobs don't have distinct "spells" and "attacks" anymore. They're all strikes or projectiles (or aoe stuff)

[tacit knot]

Yea but a lot of en do aoe 😦

[azure lava]

yeah, but nothing is going to save you from those aside from movement speed, resists, and effective hp. Block/evasion aren't meant to save you from aoe

in poe the aim is typically to have multiple layers of defense to cover all your bases

[late drum]

can i tp in a map? or will i lose

[azure lava]

resists, life, armour, recoup, flasks, block, evasion, energy shield, life, slows, debuffs, etc. All those factor in to your survivability

[desert plover]

Is there such thing as level carries?

[azure lava]

you can portal out to manage your loot and come back. You can do that for every portal you have left (you start with 6). If you die you lose the map, though

[late drum]

ok ty

[azure lava]

Likely not on this server, but that might be a thing? I'm not sure tho. I heard of someone getting boosted through the campaign but they ended up only at level 34 and had to do a ton of manual leveling anyway

[desert plover]

I see

[tropic flint]

to do the third Ascendancy do I have to do it in the Trial of the Sekhemas in Act 5 or can I do it in Act 3 with this

[eager dirge]

The earlier one works fine, it gets it's level from the barya itself

[tropic flint]

Ok thx

[tacit knot]

Does an unblockable hit also mean an unevadable hit?

[tardy maple]

what is the difference between attack damage and global physical damage?

[sour pebble]

can you post the item/node you're looking at doomsoldier?

[tardy maple]

yeah hold on

[sour pebble]

attacks are tags on skills

physical is a type of damage

[sour pebble]

ah okay

[rugged tangle]

attack damage affects skills that are categorized as "attacks" and phys is a dmg type that certain abilities scale with

[tardy maple]

i was curious what "global" really meant

[tardy maple]

got it ty

[gloomy blaze]

20% physical damage or 1-20 lightning damage for lightning dead eye ranger?

[sour pebble]

damage types in poe are phys/fire/cold/lightning/chaos

[tardy maple]

so this still benefits from those two stats?

because it is an attack and its not magic?

[sour pebble]

skill gems can be attacks or spells or minion or presistent buffs or maybe some others (idk)

[eager dirge]

The phys if you're converting it

[keen radish]

how much can i sell this boots?

[gloomy blaze]

ok ty

i thoughy so

[eager dirge]

Probably not a ton, that movespeed roll is too low

[rugged tangle]

ya the chaos is nice but most people want 25%+ move speed on boots

[fast seal]

Quick question, Im playing a acolyte monk, I have some "gain % of damage as extra chaos damage" buffs, would the chaos damage from this scale with "Increased % melee damage" and/or "% inncreased attack damage" if the original source of damage had those tags.

For example with 10% extra chaos damage on a 100 damage icestrike would result in 10 chaos, 20 phys, 80 cold damage (80% phys converts to cold from skill). And a 10% increased melee damage modifier would put me to 11 chaos, 22 phys 88 cold or just 10 chaos 22 phys 88 cold.

I had a look at some pages about damage scaling, but none of them covered this specifically. They mainly said that "% increased chaos" damage would work.

[tacit knot]

Is this another way of saying max block chance could be 65%? https://poe2db.tw/us/Turtle_Charm

[azure lava]

any attack you use with that crossbow equipped would full benefit from attack damage, but because that weapon has cold damage on it, that portion would NOT benefit from global physical damage

[tardy maple]

thank you very much

[tacit knot]

Sir I am sorry to bother you 🙂 would really appreciate

[craggy gyro]

what do you do with your orange stuff ? just stash it or sell?

[wooden lava]

if it's trash i turn it into chance shards

[azure lava]

no, whatever your block chance would be, before the cap, you take 35% less. So if you had ~116% uncapped block chance, it would get lessened down to 75% (the default max block chance)

[fading vigil]

If a skill converts 100% of physical damage to lightning damage, do I even need to get a weapon with increased lightning damage, or should I stay on physical damage?

I want to use one specific lightning skill on an otherwise physical build

[rugged tangle]

generally check price(most arent worth crap) then stash in my unique tab if I dont already have..... If i have it already I disenchant for the chance shard

[azure lava]

if you convert 100% phys to lightning, then any base physical/lightning damage on any piece of gear is identical. This includes local %phys damage on a weapon

ie, 5 lightning damage on a ring is the same as a 10% phys damage inc on a weapon that results in 5 more base phys damage on that weapon

[vestal spire]

any advise for someone that will just start?

[fading vigil]

Thanks, so basically

100% increased physical damage
adds 20 to 30 physical damage

would mean, for this specific skill,

100% increased lightning damage
adds 20 to 30 lightning damage

[craggy gyro]

when you mean check price, you mean at vendors ? or like players trading ?

if so i have never traded with players, how do you do it ?

[worthy forge]

How do i access atlas skills map? I only know how to access it by asking doryani for a refund

[rugged tangle]

player trading, vendors dont give crap lol

[rugged tangle]

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

[prisma crystal]

So I have a couple questions regarding exposure, elemental curses, enemy elemental resistance and penetration

Say I have 75% lightning pen. And let's assume enemies also have 75% lightning res.
If I apply exposure and conductivity curse, do my hits damage enemies as if they had -20% and -30% (total -50%) or are exposure and conductivity useless here since resistance penalty is applied first (enemy has 25% res remaining) and then I have useless extra 50% penetration I dont need?

[azure lava]

not exactly. Modifiers like "100% increased elemental damage" on weapons are global, not local (since the weapon doesn't have any base elemental damage).

Let's say a weapon has 100 base physical damage, 100% inc phys damage, and +25 phys damage (average)
You also convert 100% of phys to lightning via your skill.

That would mean:

1. Calculate base physical damage first: (100 base + 25) increased by 100% = 250 base physical damage.
2. Convert that to lightning
3. You now have 250 base lightning damage

[rugged tangle]

ctrl+U if on pc, no idea for console

[worthy forge]

@rugged tangle Ty

[craggy gyro]

thanks @rugged tangle ! this game sure is overwhelming at first

[autumn bramble]

hello im trying to use the trade website and its just saying i cant

[fading vigil]

Thank you! A bit tough to get the order correctly, but I think it'll grow on me

[tacit knot]

Thanks a lot! We aware yet of when they will release new classes? 🙂 cant waiy

[rugged tangle]

what does it say?

[azure lava]

Penetration cannot go below 0%. Penetration is applied AFTER resistances are lowered via curses, exposure, etc. So if you lower an enemy's 75% res by 50% and have 75% penetration, then 50% of your penetration is wasted since:
75% -> 25% (from lowered resists)
25 -> 0% (from 25% of your penetration)
50% penetration does nothing (since enemy is already at 0%)

[prisma crystal]

damn, so you can't really lower enemy resistances below 0 reliably
is it known how much ele res monsters usually have?

[autumn bramble]

my account is unable to use this feature something like that but yet my account is linked

[azure lava]

not that I know of

[rugged tangle]

hmmmm I think theres a level requirement for using it..... something like you need a lvl 25+ character first but idk if that could be the reason

[azure lava]

all I know is that druid is likely the next one to come out. And that all 12 classes and 36 ascendancies will be out by release

[lyric smelt]

If I'm using the poe trade website. Is there a way to add stats when looking at item slike "Against the Darkness Time-Lost Diamond"?

[autumn bramble]

i seen a few people saying its the website and its bugged for console players

i only want a shield for my witch

[rugged tangle]

could be 🤷

[obsidian meteor]

If I'm using Frostbreath, which adds Culling Strike against Frozen enemies, does my Shield Charge benefit from the Life Drain support gem?

[azure lava]

if the culling strike is local to the frostbreath mace, then I'd say no, shield charge cannot cull

[obsidian meteor]

Ok, thanks.

[open rock]

What does corrupting an item do?

[rugged tangle]

depends on the item, can be good or bad though

[craggy gyro]

ok so i went to the website for trading, and every add for an orange item i got is the same price: 1 exalted

is that the base price for everything ?

[upper heron]

guys is there a fix to the aim? my arrows are no where near my cursor its so shit

[rugged tangle]

ya when you search an item, scroll down a fair bit.... alot of times scammers will load the market with 1ex in order to try and manipulate the market with new players selling way under value........ alot of uniques arent worth anything so if you only see 1ex a long way down then its trash

[open rock]

? 😂

[rugged tangle]

like for skill gems, corrupting can add quality over the normal cap or even an extra support slot.... however it can also lower the max quality or support slots and once you corrupt it you cant do anything to change it....... its basically gambling

[nimble sluice]

it's an rng roll with the vaal orb

[open rock]

Ahh i see thank you. I just corrupted a wand but don’t think it’s actually done anything

[nimble sluice]

I think the options include:

• nothing
• adds a socket
• increases or decreases a stat
• replaces something
• destroys the item

[cursive bluff]

Can also add an implicit stat

[rugged tangle]

has a chance to do nothing as well, but on gear it can add implicits/quality/rune slots etc..... people do it in order to gamble at a chance of making a really good item but you can also ruin a good item

[cursive bluff]

Can't ruin items if you never get good items to begin with haha

[nimble sluice]

🧠

[open rock]

Thanks for the info

[rugged tangle]

lol indeed

[nimble sluice]

I just trade for my gear so I just have this intrusive thought to corrupt something I just bought lol

[cursive bluff]

Poe 1 vaal seems to have bad rng compared to poe2 I've used about 4 currently and all had positive effects

[rugged tangle]

I only corrupt if its an item I dont need and want to chance it for even more resale value lol

[cursive bluff]

Only 1 good one being 3 sockets in weapon whilst the others have been like flat ele damage implicits haha

[nimble sluice]

I gotta shoot my shots you know

eventually one will hit

[upper heron]

the aiming makes this unplayable how has this not been fixed

[obsidian meteor]

Is there anything that allows armor to apply to elemental damage, too?

[rugged tangle]

mouse and keyboard is the fix lol

[sharp lagoon]

is thier anyway to unbind the chat box permantly cause it keeps randomly opening mid boss fight

[upper heron]

i am playing on mnk but my arrows are firing way above my cursor its so stupid

[stoic ridge]

please can someone explain spell physical damage to me?

[rugged tangle]

hmmm no idea, havent played any bow characters as of yet but this the first im hearing of an issue with it

[stoic ridge]

is that spells which cause physical damages? eg witch?

[fading yoke]

What's the best way to get Iron runes? Should I trade for them or something else?

[rugged tangle]

pretty much, rune drops are random so trade would be fastest if you need right away

[eager basin]

I don't know what there is to explain, it's physical damage dealt by a spell

affected therefore by modifiers to spell damage and modifiers to physical damage

[fading yoke]

Isn't it crazy espensive tho, I'm seeing 1 exalted for 1 iron rune

[stoic ridge]

yeh i just wasnt sure - im running sorc so don't cause any

[rugged tangle]

no idea, havent looked.... I have like 30 iron runes in stash

[shut abyss]

i don't bother even selling anything under 1ex

[lyric smelt]

Is there any way to search by the blue modifiers? I don't see the option in the trade interface.

[fading yoke]

I have a bunch of stuff I don't need but that might be useful to trade. Is there some guide or anything that can give some sort of advice on what to keep/sell?

[cursive bluff]

Damn how much are those going for? That life could be handy for my build

[lyric smelt]

25 divine

[rugged tangle]

not specifically that I can think of.... alot of it is learn as you go type stuff

[tacit knot]

Guys do you think acrobatics will be efficient if you have 440% evasion rating on the tree and you are wearing evasion / energy shield gear?

[stiff bobcat]

this option can be increase for spell or not

[sick mortar]

what is the lightning spell that puts a big lightning ball on the ground and if you do lightning damage in it it pulses

[eager basin]

if your spell hits

[rugged tangle]

orb of storms I believe

[eager basin]

so pretty much anything that's not dot

[sick mortar]

that'll be it, thanks, where abouts is it lol

nvm found it in elemental

[stiff bobcat]

ok thx

[cursive bluff]

YouTube/streamers mainly since there's so many items/affixes however move speed life and resistances are all desired so if you can get an item with a lot of those and very high rolls it would be worth something. Best thing to do is price it however you think and then lower it every now and then if no one buys or just do a dump tab where everything costs the same

[craggy gyro]

there are two minions that keep standing up no matter how much i kill them, i already restarted the game, is this a bug?

[tacit knot]

Probably some kinda mob nearby reviving them behind a wall or something

[fathom crag]

How do you stop a skill gem from leveling?

[shut abyss]

in poe1 you don't level it, you can dismiss it, in poe2 they don't level, you have to level them yourself with uncuts

[fathom crag]

Oh ok, didn't know that about POE2

[brittle crown]

HI THERE, whats the point of this increased weapon swap speed???

[shut abyss]

not trying to be a dick buuuut kind of explains itself doesn't it?

[cold cargo]

how can i know which ascension ive done?

[brittle crown]

who needs weapon swap speed?

[shut abyss]

there's builds that use multiple weapons

[scenic salmon]

You can have 2 trees for 2 weapons
So it's very useful for speed

Very might be an stretch

[cold cargo]

how can i know which ascension ive done?

[azure lava]

check how many points you have

two points per ascension

[cold cargo]

i have 4,

[shut abyss]

2 to go

[cold cargo]

i mean

i can do same thing to ascend?

idk how to explain it

[shut abyss]

afaik yes, i did 3 seklheslmgsgkdsfg's and one chaos

[cold cargo]

ive done ultimatum before, so i can do it again to get ascension pts?

[shut abyss]

if the coin says so

[cold cargo]

it says no rip

thanks

[shut abyss]

iirc it was 4 trails of seklhelmgsd and 10 for chaos? they drop randomly so you'll drown in them at some point

[cold cargo]

hope i get them soon

[shut abyss]

1ex on trade if you're in a rush

[tacit knot]

Sir do you think acrobatics will be efficient if you have 440% evasion rating on the tree and you are wearing evasion / energy shield gear?

[azure lava]

no idea. Depends on how much evasion rating you lose, what content you're doing, how tanky you are, etc

also how much movement speed you have, how good you are at dodging, etc

[clever geode]

this is only 1 room right

[tacit knot]

Yea but i mwam do u think es / evasion gead with 440% increased evasion gives a nice result from acrobatics

[alpine silo]

it seems like im supposed to be able to go through here, but i can't?

[next olive]

had same thing u can't have to go round otherside

[azure lava]

not that exact one, necessarily. But it means you've done one of an equivalent tier or higher

[gilded bluff]

does arcane alchemy receive increases from +flask charges gained buffs?

[alpine silo]

? thats not possible

[gilded bluff]

and other flat +charge stuffs if any other sources exist

[azure lava]

can you screenshot arcane alchemy?

[gilded bluff]

mana flasks get +0.1 charge/s

[next olive]

eventually u will go around otherside for a boss or something from memory

[azure lava]

yeah, that scales with %increased charges gained

[gilded bluff]

ayy thanks

was wondering how to sustain concotions early game

[noble scaffold]

how to make poison concoction have many sockets

[azure lava]

yeah you just can't go through there as far as I can tell. It's weird

[sour pebble]

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

[alpine silo]

alright. thanks!

[sour pebble]

it gets sockets naturally when your character levels up

[noble scaffold]

ty

[scenic salmon]

Do you get more space for skills as you level??

[sour pebble]

no, 9 slots for skills

do you mean sockets on a specific skill?

[scenic salmon]

Only 9? This brutal :(

[sour pebble]

must be an infernalist 😄

[azure lava]

the first two are weird. You can ascend with the t1 sekhema and the t1 chaos

[zealous osprey]

Quest items are made weird yeah

[azure lava]

but if you wanted to ascend twice with just one type of trial, you'd need to do a t1+t2

[zealous osprey]

Only? I doubt people used more than 9 in PoE 1 as well

[weak vortex]

is there a way to make portals last longer

[zealous osprey]

15 min for instances? A few hours for towns?

You want more?

[weak vortex]

yup

its the 15mins

i like to fuck about in my stash swapping stuff about

and i dont realise the time

and then i lose the portal to the boss

and have to redo it

[zealous osprey]

15 mins with stash, damn

[weak vortex]

yeah i like to swap stuff up

[zealous osprey]

Just dump stuff and sort em during interludes? Again, just a suggestion

[weak vortex]

like im redoing all my support gems rn

[zealous osprey]

I often do that, but 15 mins XD

[scenic salmon]

Ranger I have
1Snipe, 2Spiral 3Poison arrow 4Rain arrows 5Storm arrow 6Barrage 7Charge aura 8wind dancer and I don't remember 9th

[zealous osprey]

Yeah, I mean that my build uses all 9 too on monk

But I think it's enough

[azure lava]

why do you have so many skills that just do damage?

like, snipe, spiral arrow, gas arrow, rain of arrows, and storm arrow all do damage

[topaz junco]

Why not just do all your gem swapping when you reach a waypoint

[zealous osprey]

Though, now that you mention it... Yeah, lol

[azure lava]

and you can't use all of them at the same time

[scenic salmon]

Spiral clears
Storm for shock
Poison for armour break could use rain if?

[azure lava]

also barrage and rain of arrows both consume frenzy charges

[scenic salmon]

RoA stuns the boss for barrage snipe
You can't snipe a boss that isn't stunned not practical

Of course I'm running mark too

That's all the slots and I have 60 spirit left over that wants to be attrition

[nimble sluice]

[chilly geyser]

Hey all do Mercs wear chainmail?

[umbral shadow]

what should i buy with the 300 gold from the beginning in the shop?

[nimble sluice]

I think usually you go for the stash tabs like currency

I forgot the exact breakdown and I wanna say people recommend waiting for when they go on sale

[tiny beacon]

currency helps, premium tab to sell/trade later

[azure lava]

all classes can use all skills/gear

[chilly geyser]

@azure lava Thank you

alright then im gonna wait thanks guys

[burnt glade]

Definitely get some stash tabs. Currency, skill gems, essence, deli, and a couple premium tabs to make trading easier. But yeah way until they run a sale 🙂

[umbral shadow]

im new to poe do those sales happen often or usually rare?

[burnt glade]

They happen pretty often, just missed one

[nimble sluice]

for stash tabs, it's every 3 weeks

someone earlier said the next one is in a week and a half

[umbral shadow]

ahh okay perfect

[umbral shadow]

yeah the game already catched me very hard lets look how far i am gonna be then

[weak vortex]

whats a good amount of dps to have on arc just after end of act 3

so start chaos act 1

[next olive]

do i want force of will next or strike twice?

[burnt glade]

Finish the path you started before anything else

Grab those last 2 nodes

[azure lava]

ziz recommends not doing that for his spark guide, actually

[clear vine]

is the reload on mercenary essentially a cooldown? and the rate at which it happens is effected by cooldown rate?

[azure lava]

ziz does arcane surge -> exposure -> 2nd arcane surge node

[next olive]

that's why im asking 1 guide says finish it the other guide says go strike twice

[azure lava]

there are almost no objectively correct choices in poe when it comes to a lot of things. Ascendancy order is included

[next olive]

lovely lol

[timber swift]

worth anything?

[azure lava]

we don't do price checks here

[robust elm]

Can someone help me rq

[desert sedge]

Don't ask to ask! Post your question here so that people actually know if they can help. It's also better to discuss your question publicly so more people can chime in or learn! That's why these channels are here!

[timber swift]

Even the discord makes it hard to trade 10/10

[azure lava]

this isn't a trading server

check out #price-check📉 or #trading

[timber swift]

i didnt say it was

thank you though

[errant vapor]

google one of the trade apps, i can literally press alt+e while i have mouseover an item and it gives me the price of all similar items in market atm...

[azure lava]

@robust elm

[vague fractal]

How to limit my demonflame?

[azure lava]

limit it how?

[vague fractal]

limit the stacks i have

[burnt glade]

~3 ex

[timber swift]

thanks

[azure lava]

leaving demon form is the only way

[vague fractal]

uh oh 😭

burns me so hard

[azure lava]

yeah that's the idea

[clear vine]

what element comboes with ice?

[azure lava]

what do you mean? Combos are usually on a per-passive or per-skill basis. I think there's a support gem that makes it so a skill can consume a freeze on a target to get more ignite magnitude. So that's a way fire can combo. But none of them combo on their own without any extra ingredients

[clear vine]

no like

[burnt glade]

Demon form new RF?

[clear vine]

they have interactions, a poison cloud is exploded by fire

[errant vapor]

karen build warcries are the new RF

[azure lava]

poison clouds come from two skills only, I think. "Cold" is a whole type of skill and there aren't any combos like that.
Maybe ice wall + something to break ice wall?
Or ice wall + fireball into ice wall = lots of extra projectiles?
But nothing inherent to cold can combo like a gas cloud explosion. All cold does is freeze/chill

If there are combos, they'd be on a per-skill basis, not a per-element basis

[clear vine]

wym per skill?

[burnt glade]

Firewall causes projectiles that pass thru it to add fire damage

As an example

[clear vine]

wait another thing apart from the measely 5 nodes in the passive tree is there anything else that i can get to increase reload speed?

[verbal rune]

Anyone want to help with Asinia?💀

[clear vine]

like is reload speed included on pieces of armour?

[errant vapor]

i think this is the cold synergy effect

[cursive oasis]

Hi everyone is anyone free to help me fight a boss, iv been trying for 8 hours to beat it.

[frigid badge]

how much STR high lv weapon require? will i be even able to use dual 2h at high level?

[errant vapor]

easily if you focus on str

[zealous osprey]

Try #2┃looking-for-group
Am afraid I'm travelling so can't get on much

[rugged tangle]

can if need be

[burnt glade]

If you still haven't beaten him/no one has helped in about 11 hours ill help (stuck at work)

[azure lava]

that's a single skill and it doesn't combo with any other skills, specifically. Not like the "detonator" tag.

[cursive oasis]

@rugged tangle Thx my ign is Tomzygg

[errant vapor]

ooooh, i thought for example that it would work like monks bell and that if you shoot it with enough fire dmg, the explosion takes on the new element

[rugged tangle]

sent whisper, inv me

[azure lava]

nah, they just break and do the cold damage listed on the gem

[tardy maple]

whats considered a "high" chance to crit for a crit build*

[azure lava]

in game terms "high crit" doesn't mean anything. It depends on your build, how often you attempt to crit, how important crits are, etc

[tardy maple]

got it thank you

[civic rose]

hi, how can I unlock this skill? I can't find it with skill gem

[clear vine]

apart from the measely 5 nodes in the passive tree is there anything else that i can get to increase reload speed? like is reload speed included on pieces of armour?

[clear vine]

thats a spirit gem skill and requires 30 spirit to use

[azure lava]

it's a spirit gem, not a skill gem

[tardy maple]

jewels are good for that and the support node for more reload speed as well

[civic rose]

is it normal for a level 20 but I have never seen that gem?

[boreal gulch]

Pretty sure it scales with atk speed

[clear vine]

ah okay

[half ingot]

Spirit gems are more rare

[shut abyss]

you should get one when you get your first 30 spirits

[burnt sluice]

Is there some way in game where I can hover over ailments for enemies to figure out what it’s called or does?

[civic rose]

thanks everyone

[azure lava]

hold alt over any underlined word to read more about it. I don't think you can do taht for enemy buffs/debuffs though

[burnt sluice]

Ohh ok thank you, I’ll see what I can do then

[civic rose]

another question is how many dex and str do I need as a witch? when should I add them?

[azure lava]

whenever you need str/dex for skills/gear that require it

[clever geode]

why cant my friend join my season
he is in endgame

[azure lava]

my guess is their act 3 is set to the wrong time

[clever geode]

ohhh

so he need to go to the past

[tacit knot]

Xan you put supports and extra sockets on concoctions from pathfinxer

[azure lava]

supports yes, and extra sockets come from character levels

you can only use jewelers orbs on skills that come from gems

[obsidian meteor]

@azure lava Byron, Shield Charge seems to apply Freeze buildup from Frostbreath. Do you still think it wouldn't benefit from the Culling Strike?

[late drum]

i cant get back to the endgame area to use maps. what am i doing wrong?

[azure lava]

does it chill? I'm not sure what sources of cold damage you have and/or which ones can apply to your shield charge

[obsidian meteor]

The only cold damage I have is coming from Frostbreath. I don't know if it Chills; it builds up Freeze, though.

When I hit something with it, I see it get the Freeze buildup debuff.

[azure lava]

yeah, chill is independent of freeze buildup

frostbreath says it has culling strike against chilled targets, right?

[magic smelt]

does %increased damage to allies stack multiplicitivily with their skill tree %increased?

[craggy gyro]

Hey how are you? I’m really new to this kind of games. I’ve seen a lot of people recommending buying a stash (?) with the coins you get for buying the early access, is that right and where can u buy that? Thank you

[obsidian meteor]

Against Frozen.

[azure lava]

no, all "increased" modifiers are additive with each other

[azure lava]

ah, okay. I'm not very well-versed as to how shield charge gets its damage or how off-hand damage works

[magic smelt]

Does guiding palm grant your actual numeric life regen to your allies?

[obsidian meteor]

Shield Charge applies Freeze buildup, so I wasn't sure if it also Culled.

Because Frostbreath is the only source of cold damage and Freeze buildup I have.

[azure lava]

It looks like it uses your offhand damage. Do you have any sources of added cold damage? Maybe from jewelery or your tree?

[mortal epoch]

hello new ranger here, im looking at dual wield in skill tree, can i dual 2 crossbow?

[late raft]

I don't get where the jewel socket is unlocked is?

[obsidian meteor]

No. I have absolutely no cold damage or Freeze buildup from anywhere else.

[azure lava]

you just need to allocate the jewel socket with a passive point to unlock it

[weak vortex]

whats the best type of flask you can get

[azure lava]

nope, you can only dual wield one-handed martial weapons

[mortal epoch]

thank you

[azure lava]

ultimate is the best base I've seen (I'm at t3 maps)

[weak vortex]

what is t3 maps

[azure lava]

something you don't need to worry about. I'm after the campaign

[weak vortex]

im in chaos mode

[azure lava]

but the best flask in the campaign might be transcendant? I'm not sure

wtf is chaos mode

[weak vortex]

is that still part of the campaign

idk

where you restart the acts

[azure lava]

oh, cruel

cruel difficulty

[weak vortex]

ahh

mb

same shit

[azure lava]

well

[trim turret]

The stash tabs are in the ingame store, you should wait for a sale because they have one roughly every three weeks, and there are tabs you want to get before others in terms of usefulness.

[azure lava]

"trial of chaos" is a thing in the game so I'd say it's definitely not the same as cruel, but sure.

As for flasks, just keep an eye out for new bases and check how much they recover

[craggy gyro]

Which stashes are the most important? And thank you for replying

[azure lava]

currency and premium tab upgrade are the top two recommendations

[weak vortex]

ic

any chance you can explain what t3 map is tho

[azure lava]

not in this channel

this is for stuff during the campaign

[trim turret]

Currency and upgrading one of your existing tabs to premium is where I would start. That will carry you for some time unless you're hoarding garbage.

[azure lava]

#2┃after-acts-help is for post-campaign stuff

[weak vortex]

ahh

ty

[craggy gyro]

Thank you a lot Byron and tote

[obsidian meteor]

@azure lava Nevermind. It wasn't the Shield Charge ability--it was the Stomping Ground support gem that was applying Freeze buildup.

[haughty basin]

getting incredibly frustrated in utzaal act 3 cruel with my cold stormweaver, high-speed mobs constantly stun/stagger even from off-screen. Can't dodge roll enough, and often staggered when just trying to cast half of my skills. Even wearing a stun resist charm. At my wits end what to do, can't progress

like as soon as I see 1 enemy I back up and start casting skills cuz the mob is coming, so when I do clear a mob area, it took 10 minutes just to go past 1 screen because it sends 4x of those mobs after another

[azure lava]

I'd suggest getting more life on gear, try to precast at enemies so you can hit them as they approach you, and try to get movement speed on boots

[chilly geyser]

hey all if i create a portal to town use it then log out when i login will my return portal still be there?

[haughty basin]

I think I have about 1.1k life and 1.1k shield roughly, not enough?

[weak vortex]

how do i unlock the rest?

[azure lava]

after the campaign

[proud cape]

Why i can't put impact shockwave support gem to wind blast skill of quarterstaff?

Game suggest that support skill

[obsidian meteor]

@azure lava However, if I have BOTH equipped, it DOES work!

[proud cape]

But don't allow to use it

[azure lava]

energy shield is basically useless in the campaign. Are you in normal or cruel?

[haughty basin]

cruel

[errant vapor]

i would say its far from useless especially if you play around with grim feast

[haughty basin]

idk how i would pivot away from ES, I have a lot of passive points in buffing it

[azure lava]

if they have some way to restore it, yeah, it becomes useful

[weak vortex]

is it possible to get more skill slots

[normal mountain]

How do I get more spirit? I want more skeletons

[azure lava]

1.1k is a very low amount of life for act 3 cruel imo

and the lower your life is, the lower your stun threshold is

[drowsy mango]

im very curious why i cant press ESC like there was nothing show, i just want to change setting

[haughty basin]

alright ty. I'll have to try to figure out what I need to trade off my gear for more life

[azure lava]

sometimes they suggest supports that just don't work, unfortunately. But nothing I read in those gems leads me to believe they shouldn't work together

[proud cape]

Ye, and game doesn't says whats wrong

[azure lava]

on gear, the only stats you should care about are movement speed, life, and resistances

[proud cape]

It says it just don't fit

[azure lava]

(not including weapon)

[proud cape]

Weird

[azure lava]

can you screenshot the message or error when you try to socket it?

are you using that support in another skill?

[proud cape]

No

[proud cape]

Ah

[azure lava]

what other supports are in there?

[proud cape]

It can't be put to slam attacks

[proud cape]

Even without them it doesn't works

[azure lava]

isn't wind blast a strike?

[azure lava]

oh, it's neither attack nor strike?

[burnt glade]

I finished the campaign with less life than that without any issues xD. I had like 2500 ES though

[azure lava]

but it says strike in the description!?! that's so weird

[proud cape]

Mb they consufes something

Weird, because they really fit each other

[haughty basin]

it's not underlining Strike as a keyword in that, so just poor choice of word? the keywords for wind blast are AoE and Melee only

[shut abyss]

what does the tag line say it is?

[quick karma]

Why can't I see the damage value in my raging spirits?

[azure lava]

minion skills are like that sometimes

and by sometimes, I mean, "almost always"

that panel just doesn't have their info

[quick karma]

that looks like a bug. How can I calculate if an item is better or worse in terms of dmg

[drowsy mango]

So does anyone know why i cant even pause the game, I have tried in another game and the ESC button is work?

[azure lava]

with great difficulty

[shut abyss]

party?

[drowsy mango]

no

idk what happend while i was playing it was like the ESC button is gone

i tried repair the file game but it still not working

[burnt glade]

Wait, so escape button doesn't bring up the menu anymore?

Sounds like it's no longer binded to the menu

[drowsy mango]

IDK it just happend to me

yea

idk what happend

[burnt glade]

Check your key bindings and rebind it

[drowsy mango]

i cant open setting

[wild whale]

may i ask this orb are rare thing ?

[azure lava]

click the menu button in the UI

lower left I think

[burnt glade]

Or just alt + f4 and then change your settings before you get on your character

[radiant dirge]

For somethung like cast on freeze, where do I check how much energy I’m gaining after all passives and stuff

[azure lava]

upper left of your screen (at least on PC)

[zealous onyx]

how do you chat on ps5

[drowsy mango]

i tried check

[radiant dirge]

Could you send a picture? Not sure where to look

[drowsy mango]

and there was uh

[burnt glade]

I'd assume same as xbox; select key, hold l2

[drowsy mango]

nothing about esc button

[weak vortex]

my trial of chaos is bugged

[azure lava]

I'm not in game rn, but when you freeze stuff a counter should be increasing in the top left

[zealous onyx]

and also can you check offensive stats on ps5? im not seeing crit and stuff on stats page

[weak vortex]

unless im just special

[radiant dirge]

Ah thank you got it!

[weak vortex]

theres no way for me to move

theres a lever that opens one wall and closes another

and in each of the small zones theres nothing to do

[burnt glade]

I had no issues progressing in that trial. Double check make sure you didn't miss something 😛

Should be a new pillar to go up

[weak vortex]

theres not

[errant vapor]

gotta admit.. i looked for the lever for like 10minutes before i realised i need to take a random elevator up to touch the lever...
