[hard cypress]

As someone who has never played poe 1 and just got into poe 2, I'm greatly enjoying this

[haughty niche]

Im playing pconc and i just rightclick and stuff dies. Packs, rares, bosses, doesnt matter. Spark stormweaver is similar.

[half fractal]

I cant

[alpine silo]

btw how do these work? do you get them after finishing the trial?

[weak forge]

What's pconc ?

[ember jay]

is this good

[hard cypress]

But I can see why others would hate it

[haughty niche]

Levelling for pconc was ass until gas arrow tho.

[tacit knot]

Would you say theyre not that great in general? Not saying theyre bad but, theyre not great right?

[haughty niche]

Poisonous concoction

[weak forge]

Ah I see.

[half fractal]

nv,

[storm pagoda]

so you mean for trading i send "___" ...also on the trading website it shows a #numbers after peoples username, but i don't know if i can see mine somewhere, Diablo has that easy to see

[rugged tangle]

idk then, thats how you do it so if somehow that isnt working then your probably bugged...... didnt have an issue both times I did it

[haughty niche]

Those boots basically similate lag. I would get motionsick using them

[weak forge]

@haughty niche also I wanna ask are energy shields fragile by default ?

[half fractal]

nvm i can i was doing it wrong 😆

[daring night]

After every round, you can choose to take what you have got in all previous rounds and leave, or continue next round with an additional loot. If you die, you lose all loots. If you beat the final round, you get all loots.

[haughty niche]

On the character sheet where your res etc are

[hard cypress]

What were you doing wrong so future generations can know lol

[rugged tangle]

🤦‍♂️

[ember jay]

so its bad? but thats the only unique boots i have currently. should i keep using rare one instead

[half fractal]

I couldn't drag them

[weak forge]

Because my current build has a lot of "evasion rating + energy shield" base defense but idk if it's good 😦

And the perks I'm focusing on are offensive perks tbh

[alpine silo]

aaah, but the point is to finish it right? since im guessing thats what gives you the ascendency points

[haughty niche]

Es generally sucks early but atm its by far the best defensive layer layer cause you get too much

[finite pivot]

Hi - I have 600 evasion, but 0% evasion rating. I've tried changing all my gear for higher evasion rating, but my evasion rating stays on 0% - I am stormweaver lvl 77 - is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I have no rare items on that debuff or allocate my evasion in to anything else, and my passive skills do not have anything evasion related in them - help please

[haughty niche]

Uniques arent better than rares. They are just unique. Use rares.

[rugged tangle]

pretty sure you have to hit 1k evasion before you start getting dodge %

[daring night]

Yeah, they’re very specific for their purpose (ie make you immune to certain crowd control effects or boost your res). For that purpose, they are great. But they don’t help other things (and probably don’t need to).

[keen talon]

How do i check my total increased rarity stat of my character? I cant find it

[haughty niche]

The evasion rating % is bullshit anyway.

[storm pagoda]

you mean with underscores? damn that sucks game did this to me

[haughty niche]

Depends on monster accuracy which is different per monster level and modifiers

[rugged tangle]

open your gems tab, then click the arrow next to your main skill and scroll down to "on kill modifiers" or something like that

[haughty niche]

Qh yeah you would have underscore then i guess

[weak forge]

Thanks a lot I was just surprised by seeing someone's build here having an energy shield higher than the base hp

[haughty niche]

Pc just doesnt let you put numbers in char name at all

[finite pivot]

so I need to have >1k evasion to get 1% evasion chance?

[haughty niche]

No.

Ignore that number

Higher evasion will help.

[weak forge]

Also I wanna ask did I miss anything pertaining to ascendancy in act 1 ????

[daring night]

If your goal is to get the ascendency points, then yes you’ll need to final to the last round. But this content can also be for general loot farming. Which then you can balance the risk and reward.

[keen talon]

Found it. Seems like an odd spot to put it lol

[rugged tangle]

ya its kind of odd but it works lol

[alpine silo]

aight, thanks for the info!

[weak forge]

Do I have to redo the campaign again whenever a new league begins ?

[tight ivy]

if its gonna follow the poe1 formula, then yes

[haughty niche]

Life is super fucked right now. There is no way to scale it and they removed all the nodes on tree for it... Es on the other hand has STRONGER nodes on the tree than poe1 had and you get a ton from gear and uniques.

[hard cypress]

Wait like a fresh character from lvl 1 ?

[weak forge]

Goddamnit.

[rugged tangle]

yes, you start completely fresh every league if you play the league and not just standard

[weak forge]

Ah I see that makes sense. What's the difference between league and standard tho usually

[haughty niche]

For every new char yes

[ashen bane]

ES seems pretty overtuned in endgame compared to life rn

[weak forge]

I see. Thanks. But regarding ascendancy. At what act do the ascendancy quests/areas begin ?

[ashen bane]

hopefully we get some changes but probably after new year i suppose

[haughty niche]

Life is incredibly ass and es is incredibly powerful yeah.

[rugged tangle]

majority of playerbase will be in league so you'll have less people to play/trade with and the leagues get new mechanics before standard.... some mechanics never go to standard

[weak forge]

Thanks for the info

[haughty niche]

Same deal for armour. Its unuseable

Like armour only protects from hits small enough thst you could ignore them without it

[tight ivy]

leagues tend to add new content/features for that specific league. Which depending on the reception will be later part of the base game

[weak forge]

That makes sense. I just was wondering how do people breeze through the campaign tbh 😦

[ashen bane]

experience and leveling gear

[rugged tangle]

gets faster the more you do it and know what your doing.... poe1 was like 6-8 hrs to get through for those of us with alot of hours.... it will be longer most likely for poe2 but idk how much

[daring night]

The first two points can be acquired as early as in act2 by doing the Trial of the Sekhemas.

[haughty niche]

Poe1 i tske 10 hours on leaguestart to do campaign. I tske my time and interact with the new mechanic though.

Second chars take 4 hours for me with twink gear.

In poe2 i managed to do like 15 hours on my most recent? Havrnt tried running through yet.

[half fractal]

how do you get more gem slots

[nova bloom]

Hey guys

[ashen bane]

i did 8 hours on 2nd chara with some leftover gear (had to reroll chayula) so very doable

[weak forge]

I see. That makes sense. It took me 12 hours to complete act 1

[haughty niche]

You dont really. The 9 default should be more thsn enough

[weak forge]

Twink gear ?

[ashen bane]

leveling uniques etc

[half fractal]

for here?

[haughty niche]

Twink lvling is a term in arpgs and mmos. Means strong gear thats equippable early for levelling

[nova bloom]

im currently lvl 34 monk getting 1 shot on 2nd act boss, i was wondering if someone could help me just get some tips on gear and what I should be doing? (no need for build help i thin)

[rugged tangle]

right now we only have half the campaign, once the other acts are in we will see how long it takes.... Idk if or how much harder it will be from the current cruel mode acts

[ashen bane]

get resistances up is probably most important part

[midnight remnant]

anyone know which gems are this ?

[weak forge]

That's interesting to know + makes sense.
I didn't know such a term existed because I was gonna ask if it involved using strong grar for early levels. Lol

[ashen bane]

obviously, but im assuming it will be similar speed as poe1 cuz only 6 acts

[haughty niche]

Support sockets you need jeweler orbs which are poorly tuned atm. You start finding them end of act 3 / start of act 4. But they are very rare. Thats for 3 ssupport sovkets. For anything more i have 110 hours and im in at10 maps post-campaign and literally havent fucking found any...

[half fractal]

ok im only act 2 lol

[rugged tangle]

idk the devs said its going to be much longer than poe1 so im assuming closer to 20hrs for full campaign on release playing on first character with no gear to pull from

[ashen bane]

first jeweler is in act 3

so its normal

[ashen bane]

they are talking a lot of stuff

[half fractal]

yeah im just trying to get more dps rn

[tight ivy]

You are guaranteed a lesser jeweler orb at the first area of act 3, one of the side content will have two rare enemies u gotta kill and it will drop from the gold chest behind them

[alpine silo]

god chaos trial is impossible on recommended level

[ashen bane]

i think as long as we get comfortable with campaign and know what to skip, then its way faster than expected

[nova bloom]

how should i do that? just step back into map and drop gear?

[half fractal]

im struggling with act 2 rn so we will deal with that when it comes haha

[tacit knot]

Do u guyz think when new classes come out they make it kinda like a "new league" so you can't feed it with your earned before gear and coins

[haughty niche]

I think they said Mark ran through them in 10 or something like that. I could definitely see myself shaving off a few hours to match poe1 times. Im hoping acts 4-6 are shorter cause repeating acts 2 and 3 atm are miserably slow. Act 3 is 3 times longer thsn it should be honestly

[rugged tangle]

doubtful but we shall see

[ashen bane]

check vendors and maybe gamble a bit of gold, its really hard to get gear on spot in current state of game sadly w/o trade

[nova bloom]

Thank you

[weak vortex]

is there an item that just takes off all your skill points so you dont have to pay like 50k for it

[rugged tangle]

im thinking it will be longer than what we currently have for the second half of campaign, hard to say until we see it though

[ashen bane]

they're mostly slow cuz we move at snail speed... cruel itself was pretty easy on each character compared to normal

[vapid violet]

Nope gotta save up to respec

[steady vessel]

#Hi, were i can buy 4 Ascendancy and how many cost I must pay??

[haughty niche]

They said they are releasing old league mechsnics throughout early access but dont think they are doing leagurs for them?

[weak vortex]

any idea how much itd cost for a lvl 51 with 16 weapon sets

[weak forge]

I hope I'm doing well regardless

[half fractal]

is this good enough for act 2 lvl 22?

[ashen bane]

do you have bell somewhere?

[vapid violet]

No clue at lvl 77 on my monk it's like 3k per node

[half fractal]

tempest?

[ashen bane]

yes

[weak vortex]

does it increase price per node as you get to a higher lvl

[tacit knot]

Ywa but i also ment when druis comes out for example. I dunno if theyd do it i think theyd also feel like, it will be kinda easy to level it if ur already gearing him up. Thats why i thought maybe

[vapid violet]

Yes

[ashen bane]

idk exact dps but with those skills you should be able to clear stuff

[viral cargo]

if i have selected a node in skilltree and fixed it by clicking top right, how can I make the second layer that shows (elemental storm) so that i can mouse-over the underscored things and click the tabs? when I press alt it disappears immediately and when I dont press anything and try to mouseover, it will disappear once the mouse leaves the window of the node itself

[ashen bane]

most important part for monk is good weapon

for dps

[haughty niche]

Well act 3 drones on for way too long. It feels done halfway through and just keeps going

[half fractal]

i need to get a better one

[ashen bane]

some locations could be shorter, like that lever one...

every time i do it i want to disappear

[viral cargo]

you'd think waterways is annoying but then you get to utzaal...

[ashen bane]

utzaal is pretty fast for me cuz im realizing its only 3 locations to end

[vapid violet]

Afaik EA won't have any new leagues so any new content/characters u can blast through/quickly gear up

[viral cargo]

you still have to find those locations in a map about twice as big as waterways

[ashen bane]

true

[daring night]

Try hold alt and click on the underlined text

[viral cargo]

i almost gave up on the damn heart

[ashen bane]

at least i dont need to be stuck in animation every 4 seconds

[viral cargo]

dude did you even read my message? don't answer, I know you didn't

[haughty niche]

Act 2 and 3 feel like they split every area into 2 areas, but kept the area sizes 2x longer than they should be

Everything is too big.

[viral cargo]

oh wait i tried to click it without pressing ALT and that worked, so thanks a lot 😶 ❤️ and sry for being rude, i just read ALT and thought wtf

[pliant locust]

Can we stack golden charms on a 3 slot belt and get a better effect?

[viral cargo]

no, only one will trigger

but having 2 means you usually always ahve one charged

[tight ivy]

I read somewhere that it goes from left to right on your charm slot. And once one of those charms go off, the rest doesnt

[nova bloom]

guys where is the best place to farm a bit of gold in act 2?

currently lvl 34

[viral cargo]

its always the highest level area you can clear

[nova bloom]

ok thanks

[storm pagoda]

Do all vendors buy stuff for the same price for items?

[nova bloom]

Also, do we always have to spec +5 dex in the passive tree for monk?

[haughty niche]

Spec the stats you need.

[deep vortex]

Should I use this? What does it do?

[haughty niche]

You wont always need dex.

[viral cargo]

no, you usually also need other stats to use support gems, skills or gear

[nova bloom]

aaah just making sure thanks, I thought something was wrong since i need int for charged staff

[haughty niche]

And vendors should but for same values

[viral cargo]

will we get more than 8 ascension points eventually or is that max even in full release?

[haughty niche]

8 points total i max.

You are meant to make choices

[viral cargo]

yeah, i just had an idea with 10 that would have been cool, but i get it

[tacit knot]

What supports are on ur pconc just curious how u set it up i dont know if i wanna fo poison so

[haughty niche]

Uhhh. Deadly poison, chaos mastery, chaos infusion?, and scattershot i think

[weak forge]

A question

Does deadeye benefit crossbows as well ?

[haughty niche]

Comorbidity is technically better boss dps but i havent needed it

[lusty hinge]

Don't have to, it's a free vaal orb use, corruption may brick your item or enhance it, so if you don't want to mess up your gear - don't use it

[haughty niche]

If you lean into crossbow skills sure.

[tacit knot]

Cool 🙂 yea u skipped tbe one that cost life he haha

[weak forge]

Gotcha. Thanks.

[haughty niche]

But by default ggg throws bow skills at your face if you pick ranger. You need to grab str too if you want to use cbows

[tacit knot]

Is there a way to improve crossbow reload time

[desert sedge]

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

[tacit knot]

I get stuxk sometimes

[lusty hinge]

Yes, nodes on passive tree

There aren't that many of them but they give a lot

[haughty niche]

Think theres some supports for reload stuff too

Using different ammo types you can swap between them without reloading

[long crag]

how do I take out the trial Djinn barya and sell it? does moment of peace (c ant be damage in next room work on final boss?)

[ripe iron]

Dumb question, but what magical (blue) items are worth keeping?

[lusty hinge]

On reload effects yes, but don't remember any reload time ones

[haughty niche]

Good ones

[boreal gulch]

Pretty sure atk speed decreaes reload time

[tight ivy]

a blue item with good stats beats out a yellow item with bad stats

[haughty niche]

Depends on your build / if you find the stats useful

[deep vortex]

Are there some items it doesn't work on? Because I remember trying with the orb a few times and it did nothing on each item

Pretty sure it was 3 times so that's 3 orbs wasted :(

[torpid jetty]

Hey, I'm new to PoE2 am in act 2 currently. I want to try and make my own build(we'll see how it goes) but would like to ask for some pointers. I'm playing mercenary and would like to focus on lightning shotgun basically.
Now my question is: What stats should I be focusing on on gear and passive tree? I also heard that armour is apparently really bad, so I'm assuming I should focus on evasion more than armor then?

[lusty hinge]

Hm, don't think so either, unless there's a cap. I have a lot of as nodes and bonuses and it doesn't seem to give any reload time for me (and I fo have all the reload time nodes)

[worldly nebula]

this is so backwards why would you want to add sockets and upgrade the quality of an item before using currency? Use 1 regal or exalt and get light radius and end up with a dead weapon horrible advice

[torpid jetty]

There's some nodes that reduce reload time yeah

[lusty hinge]

It has a chance to not do anything other than corrupting it (can't modify further)

[azure lava]

I didn't say those were the order you are supposed to do those in

[boreal gulch]

All i can say for certain is i was watching an xbow video and the guy mentioned a stat yiu can get that lowers it. Ill try to find it rq

[haughty niche]

Resists are important. Eventually you want capped elemental res (75%) but its fine to be lower in campaign. Get life on gear its the only way really.
Chaos res can lag behind the other resists. I have 27 in endgame and feel great. Resists go down 10% every completed act

[worldly nebula]

but list them 1 2 3 and see what order people follow in lmfao

[deep vortex]

:P Okay well that's a bummer. Ty for your help

[azure lava]

I won't use numbers next time I guess

[lusty hinge]

Reload time probably

AS increases, well your attack speed and attacks per second

[worldly nebula]

Lol

[mellow ore]

Decided to try Vulkan renderer (not my pcs default) and it dropped my gpu usage to like 20%????

[proud solar]

Is it possible to coop the trials?

[mellow ore]

still looks the same and runs even more stable

[weak vortex]

is a focus a weapon or armor

[lusty hinge]

Isn't that like, good? xD

[torpid jetty]

So I should just be trying to look for resistances for now?

[fading yoke]

Where am I supposed to go for the Legacy of vaal quest here? I've explored the whole thing but there's nothing?

[haughty niche]

Armour/evasion arent as inportant in acts

[azure lava]

my guess is the very bottom corner you don't show here

[tight ivy]

its always in a corner of a triangle

[haughty niche]

Res is key to feeling tanky early

[mellow ore]

yeah im just surprised its insane I can run everything on max now

[fading yoke]

it's empty as well

[weak vortex]

go to checkpoint and take a full picture

its easier to see

[azure lava]

can you screenshot it?

[torpid jetty]

Okay, thanks, I'l ltry to look out for it. The enemies are slowly starting to hurt so I guess I need to actively start looking for it

[ebon hamlet]

is there a way to make it so that my character just shoots at the cursor and not at the highlighted enemy?

shit's messing up boss fights

[fading yoke]

Sometimes, my genius is frightening.. But yeah, thanks guys. I went there but didn't see the door apprently

[daring night]

Yes if you aren’t in SSF

[ebon hamlet]

there's a stairs in the corners

[haughty niche]

If you have reduced light radius, shit on the minimap doesnt appear until you get closer

It sucks

[weak vortex]

gg

[tight ivy]

dont worry, this got me as well when I was doing the quest. I barely missed the corner by a pixel and it didnt show the door icon

[chilly willow]

hello 🙂 when full game releases, do the points i bought in EA transfer over?

i tried googling but couldnt find a real answer

[daring night]

Yes

[soft orbit]

you retain them and any purchases made

[chilly willow]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ thank you everyone !!

[chilly willow]

wow thats awesome

[weak forge]

Thanks a lot.

[fading yoke]

will there be a reset of sorts when the game gets released? I've read about leagues or something but I have no clue what those are

[soft orbit]

game is such that 30$ of points will last you a lifetime of gameplay

[chilly willow]

EA gets moved to a separate server

[soft orbit]

seasonal resets are the general backbone of arpgs, typically every 3-4 months

most people play for the economy reset, fresh balance and new content

[autumn bramble]

hello im trying to find a shield that drops within act one and wondering where is best to try and farm it is

[fading yoke]

so if my friends join when the game gets released I won't be able to play with them using my EA char?

[quick jetty]

guys quiet help. Is the Thaumaturge of the Vaal suporter pack give acces to the game itself, i mean the key, so if i give the ¨keys¨to a friend does he get the game ?

[viral cargo]

any way to get that from salvaging/disenchanting a flask? or shards of it?

[soft orbit]

though you're more than welcome to sit in standard which is where all characters go after the season ends

[weak forge]

I'll be honest I'm new to arpgs tbh .I mean this type of arpg

For me I always thought arpgs were like monster hunter.

I'll be honest

[shell remnant]

Has there been any discussion of changing the revive mechanic in party boss fights? Feels awful to get stunlocked consistently through an animation that I don't know the length of

[autumn bramble]

higher drop chance from bosses or of the same degree

[soft orbit]

it's a poor classification of the genre at this point but it's what we have

[viral cargo]

packs say if they give additional keys or not. if it only say 1 key its only for oyu

[weak forge]

But yeah I wanna ask if it's possible for a ranger to use both a bow and crossbow ?

[soft orbit]

yes it is

weapons are not class locked

your only limitations are attribute requirements

[lusty hinge]

yeah vulkan is quite good, just not a lot of people know wtf that is xD

[soft orbit]

especially with weapon point passives it's even more viable now

[spare raft]

When leveling through acts, if you had to choose between evasion and energy shield, which one would you pick

[azure lava]

neither

I'd ignore armour, evasion, and ES and prioritize movement speed on boots and life/resists on everything else

[spare raft]

i have these two choices rn for body

[azure lava]

whatever base type happens to have the most of those is what I'd wear and I wouldn't invest into any of those on the tree unless they also came with really good stuff

[spare raft]

okk

[soft orbit]

generally your class will push you towards specific defensive layers not by necessity but by ease of access, rangers go evasion not only because it's good but because their skills typically require dex same as evasion bases, as well as their tree start being surrounded by evasion and Dex related nodes

this doesn't mean you couldn't go energy shield on ranger

it just means you probably need a good reason to

[shell remnant]

Well in poe2 the nodes can be whatever attribute you want, right?

the path nodes

[spare raft]

im a necromancer so i guess i shouldnt care too much

[soft orbit]

yes but there's still more dexterity related nodes near ranger

[tacit knot]

Drom what level do we get level 3 support gemz

[soft orbit]

like attack speed per dex

[shell remnant]

Sure

[weak forge]

I see thanks because I think I might play as a dual bow deadeye.

I'm personally waiting for the duelist to come as it has some cool ascendancies in poe1

I am also waiting for templar as well as he might have access to offensive holy magic.

[soft orbit]

shadow waiting room

traps my beloved

if Templar has a paladin spec that will be very interesting

[daring night]

Drop level 53

[hard cypress]

Is there any inherent link between stats like dex amount to dmg you do ? Like as a monk, do I always dump stats into Dex or am I ok to spread them to meet stats on things I need ?

Like in elden ring etc, weapons have scaling linked to stats as a base right

[soft orbit]

there is not

[hard cypress]

Apart from passives which specifically mention the stat

[soft orbit]

in fact if you hover the tooltip for dex I believe it specifically states that it isn't the case

probably because it is like that in so many other games

[hard cypress]

I don't hover over a lot of things since console life lol

[soft orbit]

ah fair

it's very useful but not sure how accessible on console getting to tooltips is

[hard cypress]

Its not terrible but not the free-est

[shell remnant]

It shouldn't be that difficult heh, if you can't read mods you can't play the game imo

[hard cypress]

Kinda wish they use the ps 5 controller track pad as a mouse pad like in few other games like ff14

[weak vortex]

you sometimes can get items that do that, like for mage there is a skill that links intelligence and damage

usually uniques if items

[weak forge]

Same I am absolutely waiting for a paladin class. I liked a lot of final fantasy 14 jobs but felt like I can't play both games 😦

So I wanted to recreate some cool classes from FFXIV to this game

Like dark knight, dragoon, paladin, etc

[shell remnant]

Every point in strength gives 2 life, every point in dex gives +5 accuracy rating, every point in int gives +2 mana - other than that and serving attribute requirement purposes they have no other inbuilt function

[hard cypress]

Ya in case where they explcitly state it, I got that. Just was wondering outside of those

[soft orbit]

huntress is coming soon:TM: which uses spears

[hard cypress]

oooooh

[soft orbit]

I think she will be bleed focused though

[grim sequoia]

is there a distinction between "main quest" and "side quest" in the campaign? I feel like it might be a color coded thing but I'm not sure which is which.

[soft orbit]

but I'm sure there will be some support for other playstyles

[azure lava]

just based on those two, yellow = main quest, but I'm not sure if that theme is constant

[opaque stone]

Yes. Top is side quest, bottom is main qeust

[fading yoke]

Does this have any use or it's garbage?

[shell remnant]

There are, however, mods on items like "Adds X damage for every Y Strength" which can be very powerful

[opaque stone]

Pink ones are ascendancy trials

[soft orbit]

large amount of cdr

could be nice for some builds

[opaque stone]

CDR on shield is exclusive to that

[soft orbit]

otherwise not really

[shell remnant]

Might be useful to a caster

[azure lava]

I could see it being pretty nice for a weapon swap CDR chronomancer build

[opaque stone]

Its a big chunk of CDR too

[fading yoke]

Worth anything? Like a few exalted

[opaque stone]

Its probably only 1 ex

[azure lava]

blow CDs -> swap to CDR set -> use time snap to get CDs back (And now time snap has the cdr snapshotted in)

[soft orbit]

shield is a pretty competitive slot though for casters, lots of power there

[opaque stone]

Most builds dont need a massive amount of CDR

[azure lava]

I'd check the trade site

[soft orbit]

unique/orange items have standardized prices 90% of the time

[shell remnant]

Yeah never trust someone else you don't know well to value your items heh

[soft orbit]

there are exceptions

mostly items that can roll in very large ranges or roll different mods entirely

[hard cypress]

Why is exalted used as currency btw ? Is it a community thing or do they have a lot of uses for builds

[soft orbit]

like adorned or against the darkness

[lusty hinge]

For some cd reduction yes, very nice on weapon swap shield charge

[remote bane]

can somebody pls clarify the meaning of this?

[shell remnant]

lol that is a weird mod

[wind finch]

Is there a way to re-choose the vial you pick in act 3 and 6?

[soft orbit]

first time you poison something it does more damage

[fading yoke]

Generally should I just check the trade website and take those prices as an indicator of the price? I'm quite new to poe and I still have very little clue as to what is valuable

[azure lava]

if you poison an unpoisoned enemy, that poison has 60% increased effect (magnitude)?

[opaque stone]

I think its supposed to say Magnitude yeah

[soft orbit]

yeah effect is odd it should be magnitude

[remote bane]

why does it not say magnitude lol. weird one

[opaque stone]

There's a few things that say effect instead of magnitude iirc

[shell remnant]

Yes, or use https://poe.ninja/

[remote bane]

thanks people

[opaque stone]

There's a mod somewhere that still says "Increased flask duration" instead of charm duration

[remote bane]

also 60 magnitude is a fuck ton no? im trying to udnerstand how it affect posion burst from poison arrow

[soft orbit]

ninja isn't updated for poe2 is it?

[opaque stone]

Its not

[shell remnant]

Ah I see

[timid coral]

as a sorc should i get dexterity so i can use better staves?

[fading yoke]

thank you

[opaque stone]

Its a pretty big chunk, but usually you want multiple poisons

[tacit anvil]

Can anyone help me I'm at the counts gate but it's not open but I have the key from the tomb

[rigid bridge]

Poison max stack is 1

[opaque stone]

Do you have both key halves?

[remote bane]

yeah im going for multiple poisons

[rigid bridge]

Unless you specifically build for stacks

[shell remnant]

you have to fight two bosses before you can open the gate and fight a third boss

[tacit anvil]

I only have one key in my inventory

[lusty hinge]

need to figure out what stats and stat combinations and their tiers are good, since looking up items may not be accurate for your item either since you know, something will be different and a lot of items have a baseline of 1 ex anyway, garbage or not

[remote bane]

any good poison buiulds that dont go for fart explosion?

for ranger that is

[tacit anvil]

Ohhh we're can I find the second I beat the one in the tomb

[shell remnant]

Look at your map, there should be a spike icon

[soft orbit]

poisonous concoction pathfinder is extremely strong

[wooden lava]

i went wand+focus for the extra defense on sorc

[soft orbit]

somewhat likely to receive a nerf

[twilit cape]

I know there was a chance to loosing res recently. When you get to maps you have a total of -60 correct (this is including all of the + res you get in each act)

[shell remnant]

If no spike on map then keep exploring the cemetary until you find the "other" tomb

[autumn bramble]

hello does anyone where i can farm the oaksworn sigil shield from in act 1

[zinc stone]

any tips for killing act 2 boss with witch?
Am currently running 4 skeleton snipers with srs flame wall

[tacit anvil]

Ok yea cause it's just telling me to search the counts grave past the memorial gate

[remote bane]

is there a link to the build?

[shell remnant]

Farming is not generally a thing in PoE, it's very rare that there is only one zone an item can spawn in

[tacit anvil]

Does anyone want to help me find the other tomb lol

[soft orbit]

I made my own but I'm sure if you googled it there's probably people making them

[autumn bramble]

oh so like diablo do you know the zone for it

[remote bane]

i haven't actually lol. but ill do it myself then, i'm just confused how does the concoction suppossed to be a main source of dmg

[soft orbit]

it poisons

and you scale the level of it with + proj skills

that's the basic idea

more base damage = higher poison damage

[weak forge]

Yeah I hope we get 2 handed spears tho. Like a dragoons lance

[remote bane]

oh interresting.

i gotta give it a try, certainly looks interesting

[soft orbit]

you can go for many poison stacks from pathfinder + tree nodes

[remote bane]

how do you not run out of the concoctions tho?

[soft orbit]

or just a few and go crit

[tacit anvil]

Sorry is the other tomb called mausoleum of the Praetor?

[shell remnant]

Sounds right

[timid coral]

and that is just int?

[soft orbit]

you don't need much sustain, belt implicit + flask mod for recharge every .2 seconds

[ocean sphinx]

how do I kill count geonor lol

[shell remnant]

I'm saying it's not like that, you should always be looking for highest item level gear and not farming a specific zone

[soft orbit]

and you can run alchemists boon aura on bosses

[wooden lava]

@timid coral yup

[soft orbit]

it's only 3 charges per throw and bosses die easily so

[timid coral]

gotcha, ty

[remote bane]

cool then, sounds great. thanks for the tip man, much love

[ocean sphinx]

does anyone wanna help me kill count geonor

[autumn bramble]

okay i get you this item is meant to help my build i thinks

[shell remnant]

Yeah if you need a unique in PoE

You buy it

Off the trade market

You don't farm for it, 99% of the time anyway

[autumn bramble]

my doesnt let me yet im under 25

[azure lava]

cries in solo self found

[shell remnant]

Wait, you can't use trade if you're under 25 years old?!

[azure lava]

level 25 lmao

[autumn bramble]

god knows

[shell remnant]

Oh

Haha

[autumn bramble]

someone told me that like

[weak vortex]

how do you actually use the trade market

[wooden lava]

@weak vortex through pain and suffering

[nova bloom]

Bruuuuh the act 2 final boss is busted

[cursive oasis]

Hi im new to this game what is the best class for new player and easy to build, for campaign too endgame.

[autumn bramble]

every time i go to use trade it says my account cant use that feature even tho its linked

[shell remnant]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2

[wintry oriole]

question: what are some good support gems for the skill unearth?

[shell remnant]

Go here, search for items you want, click the button to whisper the player ingame, they will send a party invite, accept and teleport to them, wait for them to trade you

[soft orbit]

ranger deadeye

pick lightning skills and succeed

[remote bane]

@soft orbit btw do you know, poisonous arrow says "chaos" in the tag list, but it doesn't say that it does chaos damage anywhere, do you know if leveling chaos dmg increases poisonous arrow's dmg?

[soft orbit]

poison is chaos damage

[azure lava]

if anyone tells you they know the best anything, they're trying to sell you something

but yeah, lightning arrow deadeye is pretty beginner friendly. Check out the guide on maxroll.gg

[cursive oasis]

@soft orbit yh I am ranger but this game is gear dependant and it's annoying because I havnt seen any good gear so far.

[remote bane]

WTF lol. This game is weird

[timid pier]

can flame wall echo?

[weak vortex]

is it in game or online

[soft orbit]

everything has it's reasons but I can see why people think so

[shell remnant]

#2┃new-player-in-campaign-help message

[soft orbit]

to an extent yeah

[harsh bison]

Could someone help me with lachlann in cruel

[soft orbit]

you're unlikely to see much good gear in campaign

[shell remnant]

See above my message for the link, it's in the browser @weak vortex

[remote bane]

i thought they're different because poison vine says it does chaos dmg with the vine.

[soft orbit]

you just struggle on through and ranger/bow has it pretty easy

[weak vortex]

ty

[autumn bramble]

more then happy to try

[soft orbit]

yeah it has a separate chaos damage dot

[azure lava]

I don't see why it wouldn't be able to

[ocean sphinx]

does anyone wanna help me kill count geonor lol

[harsh bison]

Ign?

[daring night]

If I don’t need the spell on the weapon, is there any point using a staff over wand+focus? It seems that in theory, affixes combined from wand+focus can roll more than what on a staff.

[timid pier]

watched a video by raxx and he uses it in flame wall but it does nothing in my game and i meet all the requirements for it.. wondering if they hotfix'd flame wall to not be a spell or something

[soft orbit]

wand focus is probably better in most situations

[autumn bramble]

kristianlfc09#7676

[timid pier]

oh it echos in the literal same place not where your mouse goes

you can't see if it happens but its there

[wintry oriole]

question: what are some good support gems for the skill unearth?

[autumn bramble]

@harsh bison or kristianlfc09 one of the two

[azure lava]

the echo should be larger though

[tight ivy]

Poison is kinda weird. Even though it does chaos damage, taking "increase chaos damage nodes" won't increase its damage unless you have a source of chaos damage already in the hit, like say on your bow. The poison damage scales off the hit of the attack

[daring night]

Are there any hidden bonus/penalty between 2-H and dual wield?

[soft orbit]

wand focus is not dual wielding fwiw

[waxen bane]

where can i find info about carry for 4th asc?

[harsh bison]

Neither are working. Try mine. Angry_Dragon

[timid pier]

nah you just get the (jujuhjah) sound of flame wall then it repeats the sound and you can see a faint retrace of the flames go up inside the vfx model of the other flames

[soft orbit]

there isn't in that case though

[rough nymph]

Hey guys is there any Invokers that beat Cruel can take a look at my build in vc real quick? Need some adjustments and tips! Would be greatly appreciated.

[vivid cedar]

why is EVERY unique supper under lvled fuck

[soft orbit]

because they have static level requirements

unless they have a skill attached

[autumn bramble]

i might be underlevel

[soft orbit]

like caster staves or wands

[vivid cedar]

wym static does other change?

[soft orbit]

uniques are basically always the same item

you don't find better higher level versions of them

[harsh bison]

Yeah this is cruel difficulty.

[arctic cairn]

for galvanic shards build, what should I look for in a crossbow, more phys dmg or more flat lightning dmg?

[soft orbit]

outside of uniques with skills attached to them

[vivid cedar]

This one unusable right?

[azure lava]

for your level 100% useless

[vivid cedar]

soo all uniques are useless for me?

[waxen bane]

anyone?

[loud cypress]

Hello I am looking for people to play, I am French

[autumn bramble]

only got it last night sorry i'll leave

[azure lava]

not all, but definitely most.

Uniques in this game are mostly garbage

[lusty hinge]

most of them at least, some that drop for pinnacle bosses wouldn't be that useless probably

[hard cypress]

#2┃looking-for-group

[vivid cedar]

dang thats sad to hear im always super excited for that orange glow D:

[waxen bane]

thank you

[lusty hinge]

majority of uniques we have rn are very niche or low lvl, but we don't have them all yet

[azure lava]

they CAN be good

[vivid cedar]

u mind if i post u if i get one and not sure whenever its good

[azure lava]

please don't

[stuck berry]

Hey I have a question, I have a little bit over 150 hours already on POE2 and I was wondering if you guys have advice on how to get more knowledge about the game, I feel like I dont know many things and just following guides...

so I was wondering if yall know any ways to learn by playing/watching etc

[soft orbit]

reading unironically

mouse over everything

[lusty hinge]

that will be just spam pretty much since I'm positive that 99% of those will be just salvage/disenchant fodder

[stuck berry]

I feel like I understand stuff when I read, but I'd like to learn how to maximize/play more efficiently
I wanna learn as much as I can so I can be very competitive when the game releases

[daring night]

On trick is to check the price of the unique on trade website. If it’s more than 1 exalted, it’s probably useful for some build.

[viscid willow]

trade site doesnt have t2+3 waystones, anyone in here would like to trade?

[azure lava]

hold alt and mouse over every keyword that's underlined

[soft orbit]

watch creators who are specific to Poe, not variety gamers

[hazy hill]

(guys play ranger dead eye) how much evasion should I have? currently I have 78% and 9500 evasion rating, life 1500 and all res are 70% except chaos is 30 and I feel very weak on tier 9 maps. I die very easly

[craggy gyro]

whats considered late game? just hit act 3 cruel lv 60

[stuck berry]

I tried watching, but when I watch guides its very build specific, and the other types of content I see are either maps etc or other stuff that doesnt really teach much

[vivid cedar]

oh well i get one like every 2h

[daring night]

Check https://www.poe2wiki.net for game mechanics and http://poe2db.tw for game data

[vivid cedar]

tnx thats a good tip!

[azure lava]

well past the campaign. The campaign in poe1 is often called the tutorial

[ember mica]

a lot of players wouldn't even consider where you are "early game" haha

[hazy hill]

(guys play ranger dead eye) how much evasion should I have? currently I have 78% and 9500 evasion rating, life 1500 and all res are 70% except chaos is 30 and I feel very weak on tier 9 maps. I die very easly

[craggy gyro]

hooly

[soft orbit]

most of what I learned is because I have played a build that required me to learn if

everything is specific but overlaps eventually

[lusty hinge]

yeah they aren't that rare, the regular random drops at least, not boss specific ones

[soft orbit]

that and just watching streamers who are good at the game

imexile is my preference

[viral cargo]

is this not supposed to trigger automatically like cast on freeze?

[ember mica]

in poe 1 terms at least, which generally carried over to poe 2. Early game is post-acts. Mid-game is map tiers like middle map progression, late game is top tier maps where you are intentionally making the game as hard as it can be for yourself and reaping maximum rewards.

[lusty hinge]

you use it once you have gained charges to use it

[viral cargo]

k, thx ❤️

[vivid cedar]

oh btw is it worth to maybe keep them and use to reforge?

[stuck berry]

question, in order to learn more should I just play 1-2 classes for a long time or should I test all classes and reach T15 Maps in all?

[craggy gyro]

thanks this is my first ARPG so it seems the grind is real

[soft orbit]

that's really up to you what you enjoy more

[craggy gyro]

i got a lot to do then atleast

[soft orbit]

will be hard to learn if you don't enjoy it

taking one build as far as you can is probably a good idea

then see how you feel if you want to reroll or what

[azure lava]

classes honestly have very little to do with how much of the game you experience. You can do five wildly different builds on one class or do basically the same build on five classes. I'd say doing different builds, though, will speed up your learning

[ember mica]

haha yeah kinda. But luckily GGG is good at making the grind the best part. Very little tedium. Poe 2 still has some kinks to work out during EA to get to that point, but the framework is there

[lusty hinge]

just play the game, read, experiment and try to understand what stat does what and how it interacts with modifiers and additions, which support gems change what and how and what can you build with it all, it doesn't really matter what class you're playing on, you'll just be learning different stuff

[weak vortex]

is the second part of the game called corrupt?

[azure lava]

cruel

[weak vortex]

thanks

[stuck berry]

Im currently playing Sorceress Sparks, and I'm finding it not really enjoyable once I reached T11 because it becomes way harder and its also more versatile, builds deviate a lot and I cant follow a build because without certain skill Im too weak so I have to figure it out on my own etc

[ember mica]

yeah cruel acts 1-3 are just temporary, they decided to ditch finalizing acts 3-6 to get endgame a bit more polished

[lusty hinge]

can you reforge them though? (I haven't tried it tbh)

[stuck berry]

I see

[viral cargo]

when does cast on freeze count as active? always or just when at 100% or while triggering?

[candid cypress]

Hi, probably dumb question, but why there are the 3 support gems tied to all skills, when I can actually use much more gems than those 3 per row?
do they have some special bonus for these skills or what am I missing?

[azure lava]

if it's swirling, it's active

[soft orbit]

I found sorc pretty boring too and rerolled, had more fun on Merc and ranger

just up to you though

[azure lava]

they're there to keep new players from getting overwhelmed by picking from dozens of support gems

they're dev suggestions, basically

[candid cypress]

so it is just "recommended"

[azure lava]

and they're not always good

[lusty hinge]

you need jewellers orbs, 3 kinds to get additional slots

lesser - 3rd slot
greater - 4th slot
perfect - 5th slot

[candid cypress]

thanks!! 🙂

[azure lava]

or even usable

[soft orbit]

they need to be more obvious with the hide recommends though

[candid cypress]

usable I figured out the frames "glow"

[soft orbit]

had so many people not realise there were more options

[smoky orbit]

Anyone able to help me get through campaign? I keep dying as a monk in act 2

[candid cypress]

tyvm it was driving me weird ... should say "recommended support gems" or something 😄

[azure lava]

yeah, but sometimes they suggest supports that literally do nothing lmao

[candid cypress]

exactly

[stuck berry]

I first had Merc gas chamber but it felt weak once I reached Maps, what classes do you think are strong that dont require early uniques (wanna taste how it would feel on release if I try that class)

[candid cypress]

also, playing Merc, the "Crosbow shot" is not used when I load different "bolt" skills, right?

so it just becomes obsolete when I use any other shot

[soft orbit]

bow ranger is just generically strong

[candid cypress]

or do all shots benefit from "xbow" shot gems?

[soft orbit]

gas cloud or lightning arrow

[lusty hinge]

you were wondering if you can slot supports into the shot and get the bonuses for other ammo? xD

sadly no, doesn't work

but handy to keep your supports for swap in there lol

[candid cypress]

kk 🙂 sounded logical to me at the very start when it was "shot" with no reloads and them "special ammo" shots 😄

[lusty hinge]

but if it did work, that would be pretty broken since you'd have like 10L skills pretty much

[candid cypress]

hmm, is there any way to see what is affected how multi -x- additively ?

[sudden chasm]

trynna add precursor tablet to tower but it says activation failed invalid map specified

[fiery agate]

What do I do early game as mercenary because I feel like frag rounds barely deal with adds

[jade wadi]

how do i use this

[lusty hinge]

did you complete the tower first?

[candid cypress]

easy example, there is "flash grenade" skill, does 400% more stun buildup, if I add +50% stun buildup gem, how can I see if it is 450% or 600% ?

[lusty hinge]

should have a single slot for tablet, not 4

[sudden chasm]

it has a single slot

[coarse cedar]

Hi I've need help finding out why I can't use a two handed mace while having all requierments met and having giants blood

[lusty hinge]

you click on the arrow next to the set and then spec the passive for that weapon set, when you're done you press the arrow again to disable speccing for that weapon set

[azure lava]

all "more/less" mutipliers are multiplicative with everything else. All "increases/reductions" are additive with each other and basically sum to a new more/less multiplier

[lusty hinge]

most likely you took Giant's Blood in your passive tree

[candid cypress]

can you give me an example? and how do you know this?

[lusty hinge]

which tripples your stat requirements for weapons and you can no longer afford to wield your weapon

[jade wadi]

what even is weapon set

[candid cypress]

so say 400% more + 50% more + 100% increase ==-> 700% ?

[weak vortex]

isnt this absolutely goated?

[lusty hinge]

weapon swap on X, you can have 2 sets of weapons I and II

[lament stone]

youd never be able to get 400% more from anywhere

[daring night]

On thing about support gems is that some support gems can add additional tags to a skill, letting it to use support gems that skill cannot usually use. For example, Spark doesn’t have a cooldown by default. So you can’t link Ingenuity (increase cooldown recovery rate) to it. But if you link Hourglass (add 10s cooldown to a skill) to it first, you can now also use Ingenuity.

[lament stone]

all sources of increased are added together then multiply the base value, each separate source of more is multiplicative

[candid cypress]

flash grenade base just says 400% more by itself

[lament stone]

oh thats not damage that makes more sense

[azure lava]

you might be able to hold alt and hover over an underlined word that says more/less/increased/reduced to read more.

But that's just how poe works. I played poe1 for over a decade and it's been hammered in.
for example, if you have 400% more stun buildup from a gem (flash grendade) and 100% increased stun buildup on the tree, you'd effectively have 2 * 5 = 10x the base stun buildup

[candid cypress]

sure I mean in general, as rule of thumb if there is no full equations anywhere

[coarse cedar]

U are right but still why cant I use it

Why does it have to be with out giants blood and not with it

[azure lava]

if you mean, "is there a place where I can see my full damage calc/breakdown?" then no

[lusty hinge]

because it trippled your stat requirements for wielding that weapon

[viral cargo]

does Frost Bomb have a limit of 1? it doesn't say that in the tooltip, but if i try to put it in cast on freeze, it won't cast when there is another frostbomb present?

[candid cypress]

more/increase etc. are not lined words 😦

[azure lava]

read what they keystone says

[lusty hinge]

well you need to raise your stats to be able to use the weapon, it's a tradeoff

[coarse cedar]

Brother u are the best thank you

[candid cypress]

sure, since there is none, I wanted to know if there was any help in calculating them

[azure lava]

not really. You can manually add/multiply them out

[candid cypress]

so it is always "ad together all -increase/decrease- then multiply by -more/less-L

[sleek goblet]

I accidentally declined Una Lute reward. Is there anyway to get it after??? It is the two passives???

[daring night]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1321237459987726366

[lament stone]

just speak to her again, youll have the option to claim any rewards you rejected

[candid cypress]

thanks!

[azure lava]

yeah, but you multiply by every more/less in sequence. If you have 100% (total) increased, 100% more, 50% more, and 30% less, you'd do:
2 x 2 x 1.5 x 0.7 = 4.2x the base amount (or 320% more)

[crude zealot]

how to turn off auto lock so I can actually control what my character is targeting? this sucks

[candid cypress]

yeah

[crude zealot]

cant even hit what I want

[candid cypress]

wait, is there some other way to multiply numbers? :D:D:D

[azure lava]

you sadly cannot

[lament stone]

you cant disable it unfortunately

[daring night]

Talk to the NPC again and look for bold text. Usually on the top right side of the dialog box.

[candid cypress]

now im mindstuck 😄

[viral cargo]

anyone know if frostbomb has a secret limit of 1?

[candid cypress]

if you multiply 5 by x2 x2 or x4 you always get same number 😄

[weak vortex]

how do i see how much my total increase rarity found stat is or do i just have to add

[sleek goblet]

I don’t see it 😭😭😭

[daring night]

Hmm, this is weird

[viral cargo]

press G, check skill details

[lament stone]

it shouldnt

[smoky island]

Anyone up to help a level 53 witch on cruel? I'm legit stuck on the Act 1 wolf boss. I can get him to 2nd phase easy then keep getting 1 shot by all the various bs attacks ☹️

[weak vortex]

ty

[viral cargo]

my cast on freeze gets stuck at 100% if i cast a frostbomb before I reach 100% and it only triggers if there is no frostbomb present 🤔

[severe olive]

Why does my total energy shield decrease when I equip these gloves? They look superior in every way compared to what I have equipped (sorceress)

[candid cypress]

anyways thanks a lot! amazing help ❤️

[azure lava]

which one is making you lose ES?

[lament stone]

is the dex from your current gloves allowing you to equip another item?

[severe olive]

Omg...yea that was it

[jade wadi]

Why it wont light up

[tacit knot]

With cuaos innoculate does chaos still do 2x damage

[lament stone]

you have no skill points to allocate

[jade wadi]

i have 4 weapon skills

[lament stone]

weapon set points are not extra points

they allow you to tie specific points to a specific weapon

[jade wadi]

so how do I use it

[azure lava]

if you have 10 total points and 4 set points, you can allocate them as 10-0-0 or 6-4-4 or anywhere in between

[lament stone]

youd have to refund 4 points to be able to allocate your weapon set points

[viscid willow]

omg i forgot to increase quality before vaal'ing something

[lament stone]

if you dont have specific uses for weapon swaps just ignore weapon set points

[azure lava]

I'd recommend not using them until you know exactly what you want to do with them. You're not losing out on any points by not using your set points. If you try to use them without purpose, you'll end up making your life harder and your build worse

[jade wadi]

i cant refund this right

[vivid cedar]

u can

[azure lava]

if it would leave any node(s) stranded, you cannot refund it

[daring night]

You can only refund leaf nodes

[lament stone]

you have the option to change any attribute nodes to a different attribute, but you cant fully refund that point as its connecting the other point to the rest of your tree

[ripe iron]

Just found this worth anything?

[azure lava]

#price-check📉

[uneven adder]

Hey guys you will probably laugh at me , what I'm trying is a sunder + mace strike armor break build to finally progress in the story , but my mace strike is not breaking the armored despite me having the support gem installed

Like what am I doing wrong for macd strike not to break armor

I changed my whole build and I don't know if I can even farm gold to get another build

[azure lava]

are the supports in the correct mace strike? It looks like you have a mace in each weapon set

[jade wadi]

Can we farm level at trial of sekhemas ? like invite higher level guy to help us and leave at the last boss and redo again ?

[weak vortex]

how do i get the increase density of mobs

and is there a way to make rare mobs spawn more

[uneven adder]

It's the dual one

[azure lava]

you cannot do that until after the campaign

[weak vortex]

ah

[uneven adder]

Like is that a bug ? What could course a support skill to simply not work

[tacit knot]

With cuaos innoculate does chaos still do 2x damage

[quiet geode]

Should i get better gear before entering endgame (currently cruel act2) i have like 15 to 20 exalts

[uneven adder]

Even when I remove my second weapon set it won't work

[daring night]

Do you mean the keystone passive Chaos Inoculation?

[azure lava]

are you doing enough damage to break the armor? the support gem doesn't guarantee it

[tacit knot]

Yes

[daring night]

It makes you immune to any chaos damage.

[uneven adder]

I don't even break armor when I go in act 2

[stark lynx]

ig 0*2 is technically correct

[uneven adder]

It doesn't even build up

It simply won't proc

[azure lava]

what supports are you using? and can you screenshot your mace(s)?

[uneven adder]

You need the stats of the mace ?

[weak forge]

I hope the warrior's third ascendancy can be good for 2 handed swords tbh 😦

Also what are class variants gonna be like ? Cus I see "coming soon" in then

[azure lava]

maybe. If it doesn't do any physical damage it won't break armor. But start with the names of the supports please

[dry vault]

Any alternative to POE2 overlay that doesn't run one hundred bullshit applications like overwolf etc? more lightweight? for price check and market

[uneven adder]

I use splinter , close combat and demolisher , my maces are standard ones I Screenshot just a sec

The other one is pretty similar

[weak vortex]

is a focus armor or martial weapon

[soft orbit]

exile exchange

[azure lava]

neither. it's an offhand

[weak vortex]

so what does a rune do to it

[azure lava]

I don't know if you can socket foci

[soft orbit]

will be armour I assume

[azure lava]

hold alt over the word "focus" in its description and click it

[lusty hinge]

sidekick maybe? there was also some other with a very nice website but I lost it, someone was posting it in this chat :C

[weak vortex]

armor items equiped in offhand

there we go

ty

[soft orbit]

https://github.com/Kvan7/Exiled-Exchange-2
standalone, continuation of awakened trade which was for my money the best overlay in poe1

[azure lava]

based on those gems I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work

[uneven adder]

Yeah same

So it's probably a bug

[lusty hinge]

splinter doesn't work with sunder

which is probably unintended

[uneven adder]

I got splinter on mace strike

[azure lava]

they're using it with mace strike

[azure lava]

for my sanity, can you screenshot your hotbar in the bottom right and show which button you're pressing?

[uneven adder]

Of course brother

I use it on left click

[remote bane]

does breaking armor help me do more chaos or poison damage in any way?

[azure lava]

I'm tapped out

[uneven adder]

Same brother

[golden condor]

will the chimera pet ever be available outside of Twitch? I don't really wanna have to pay some streamer to get the pet. I'd rather buy directly via mtx

[uneven adder]

So all I can do is get another build because this shit game is still buggy

[golden condor]

it's a cute little bugger

[lusty hinge]

@uneven adderso you don't see any armor break stacks at all from your mace strike?

[uneven adder]

Yes

It doesn even start to stack

I'm hitting the enemy

It does damage

But it won't build armor break

[jade wadi]

the guide here say it can put both, why I cant

[jovial ferry]

I really wanna get into the game but I keep getting overwhelmed with all the systems I'm play warrior at lvl 23 amd cannot get past the trial of sekimah any build suggestions?

[lament stone]

do you have enough dex

[jade wadi]

just beg the world chat, someone will help you

[lament stone]

you need +5 dex for each green support gem you use

[jade wadi]

i see

[stark lynx]

most likely not.

[jade wadi]

now it shows this

[lament stone]

what gem is it?

[jade wadi]

nvm it need intelligence

[ripe iron]

Ok so I am in the black chambers, killed Doryani and am stuck not sure what to do?

[daring night]

Trials are very hard during campaigns without good gears

[weak forge]

So warrior specializes in bonking ?

[vivid cedar]

inteligence is always a problem 😅

[weak forge]

Or is it possible for warrior to also be good at swords because it seems that the warrior ascendancies focus on bonking :(;

[haughty niche]

Im sure with some support you could make swords stun more etc.

[lusty hinge]

can crushing blows prevent that on the ascendancy?

[jade wadi]

kekw

[haughty niche]

An annoying part of poe2 is skills are locked to weapon types in a more restricted way, so that will be limiting

[uneven adder]

Not active

[haughty niche]

Crushing blow doesnt make all hits stun. It just makes it so that when enemies have that stun icon on their head it guaranteed heavy stuns

[stark lynx]

Given that there literally are no swords yet, it may be tad difficult

[vital maple]

Can you trigger an "ammunition" skill with a "cast on" skill???

[weak forge]

I see ngl i just wish there were some ascendancies that allowed for different weapons.

I hope with the addition of more classes we get some cool stuff.

Because I'm a fan of a lotta cool archetypes and wanna try it out because I never got to try them in other games 😦

[haughty niche]

Half the weapon types arent in. They are coming with new classes

[stark lynx]

none of the ascendies lock you into specific weapons?

[haughty niche]

You could totally do warrior without taking the stun nodes

[weak forge]

Gotcha seems like I'm thinking too far into the future lol.

[scenic salmon]

Warrior is a great crossbow character actually

[weak forge]

I see. I thought ascendancies locked to weapons because they seemed adjusted to weapon types lol.

[haughty niche]

Its just that maces are the only melee weapon besides quarterstaves atm so bonking is basically your only option unless you want to use quarterstaff skills

[weak forge]

But for now I'll try out bonking for once.

[stark lynx]

Ascendancies are locked to base class

but GGG marketing made it look like class = weapon = skills

[weak forge]

Ah I see. Damn. I got hoodwinked by marketing

[stark lynx]

which tbf is what the class has somewhat natural affinity for due to location on passive tree

[lusty hinge]

@uneven addersmth in your build is preventing that from happenning, just tried it with my warrior, dual wield 2h maces, splinter, demolisher, close combat - breaks armor instantly

[uneven adder]

@lusty hinge @azure lava i found out

[stark lynx]

but its not a real restriction by any means

[uneven adder]

It works now

[stark lynx]

Its like they designed it so

[weak forge]

I see. That makes sense.

[lusty hinge]

so what was it?

[scenic salmon]

It's easier for new players to just go for the obvious choice
They have to add some way to make the warrior witch work as travelling through the tree is gruelling

[uneven adder]

I still had Avatar of fire in my passiv

[lusty hinge]

oh...

[uneven adder]

Yeah

[weak forge]

Ngl I'm thankful for y'all in helping me sooth my anxiety and paranoia. I just feel like I'm overthinking at times 😦

Because I'm absolutely new to this genre and I am scared of messing up

I'm just dealing with my ability to accept failure as a stepping stone

[uneven adder]

That's the poe experience I guess

[weak forge]

@stark lynx @haughty niche

[lusty hinge]

I even looked at it and thought "surely he doesn't have that with that build" ffs xD

[weak vortex]

is there a channel here where i can ask what items are worth

[uneven adder]

Had a fire build prior

[haughty niche]

Id expect each class to bring their ideal weapon type. Duelist will come with swords.
Huntress with spears.
Marauder will probably bring axes.
Claws/daggers with shadow.
For flails could see them coming with the dtuid or templar.

[lusty hinge]

I see, well good thing you found it

[dry vault]

What is MF?

[haughty niche]

Magic find

Stacking rarity

That looks like pure clickbait garbage btw

[weak forge]

That's good to know. Basically I wanna try some cool stuff tbh

[golden condor]

welp too bad I guess.

im sure there will be other cool pets in the future

[weak forge]

||I hope huntress gets a dragoon ascendancy||

[dry vault]

yeah i was afraid of that. Is there any like witch channel here or some other place to get help from better players?

[zinc stone]

can you remove runes?

[lusty hinge]

yes, it's all in the channel name that does build bait vids

[scenic salmon]

Find tutorials online there are also channels, discord servers but people don't price check for others I feel

[golden condor]

nope

[lusty hinge]

is a goldmine out there, so many people trying to find a build, just sit and rake up the engagement

[haughty niche]

Maxroll.gg is solid for builds.

Mobalytics has more but can be iffy.

[golden condor]

I do appreciate the sensible ones tbf

[weak forge]

I was surprised at maxroll having some amazing tooltips that feel like it's ripped from poe2
Unless it is lol
But it's cool tbh

I'm thankful for the Poe community to be welcoming and helpful I am sure I'm gonna clock 100+ hours in Poe before I get a job

[haughty niche]

The tooltips from poe2 were datamined and were available on poe2db forever ago. Im sure maxroll could be using them

[weak forge]

Gotcha I was seeing the ascendancy nodes and maxroll had good explanation via the tooltips

I just hope I can continue enjoying the game

The warrior seems noble

[final fog]

is there a way to unsocket an item?

[weak forge]

I thought he would be like marauder but he's not

He seems to be the noble bonkerer

[lusty hinge]

well, he a karui raised by an ezomyte, so yeah, he has some nawledge put into him

[weak forge]

Wait what's an ezomyte ?

[pine oar]

Loot question: I am, am a monk level 25 no vendor has gear for me I am using level 8 or so gear why does it have level 25 gear like a bow but I cannot get a staff at my level in the store what can I do? I need loot and I am wasting time dying over and over and over.

[haughty niche]

Runes are annoyingly permanent

[weak forge]

Oh I didn't know he was also a karui like a marauder

Seems like karuis are naturally buff

[lusty hinge]

'The old dudes' xD
Renly is warriors adoptive father

[final fog]

gross

[haughty niche]

Ezomytes are a race/group in poe i think? Believe marauder is one

[weak forge]

Wait I know another blacksmith who is also a fighter

[minor tartan]

Does rarity find affect the whole group ?

[lusty hinge]

Marauder is karui, iurc the hiero what was his class, the inwquisitor dude is an ezomyte

[weak forge]

Ah that's cool. I like renly tbh. He's a nice paternal figure.

[stark lynx]

oh it doesnt copy the video embed

[weak forge]

Ngl I would like to try out a kagurabachi warrior build once sword comes lol

[haughty niche]

Oh right. Marauder is karui. Ezomytes are from isles somewhere

[stark lynx]

[weak forge]

Like I hope the third warrior ascendancy focuses on the forge

[stark lynx]

There was some Ezomyte lore that I didnt fully grasp in a1, oh well have to revisit when Javazon gets released

[weak forge]

I'm thankful y'all are good people

[haughty niche]

Rarity is only for the peron who kills the enemy

[warm lagoon]

2 hours tyring to beat Geonor the wolf vampire boss final act 1 im getting crazy

[weak forge]

Ngl I liked it in poe1 when duelist gave some noble words to the people he killed

Like I too would respect the dead enemy for giving a good fight and pitying their plight

[weak forge]

Sleep

I slept and respected and grinded and beat him

[haughty niche]

For the beams, step back and forth between two spots between beams. They almost never target your previous location

[lusty hinge]

Yeah, but barely anything really, I don't even remember what it was about lol

[warm lagoon]

i just don't deal enough damage, i can kite him like for 30 min but i deal close to none damage on the final form

i have a mercenary AOE build

[lusty hinge]

A3 mention made me chuckle though

[warm lagoon]

0 damage on boss U_U

[weak forge]

By beams you mean the requeiem/solstice ?

[haughty niche]

Ye

[weak forge]

Because you're right I did sidesteps to avoid it

Like it felt like it alternated based on my position

[haughty niche]

And for poem phase, he attacks after a brief pause between each sentence

[lusty hinge]

but GGG is pretty based with bosses reacting to different classes and giving different dialogues ngl

(and quests as well)

[haughty niche]

If your issiue is damage its probably either gem setup or weapon

[warm lagoon]

i am so dumb , spent the 2 exa orb i had on weapon still bad weapon lol

[weak forge]

Ngl I remember killing the count as he was about to begin his poem

So basically his poem overlapped with his dying words to the hooded man

[haughty niche]

Lol

[lusty hinge]

rip

[weak forge]

"this madness"
"Agnar the impaler"

[haughty niche]

Unfortunately gsme is rough early for gear. Check vendors. Ive never found a weapon upgrade on the ground or via crafting. Vendors are my best friend

[warm lagoon]

you mean there is ppl that at lvl 17 kill the final boss withing the first seconde ? what the heck am i doing wrong lol

[weak forge]

Probably twink gear

I was able to beat phase 1 easily but phase 2 is a nuisance

[lusty hinge]

he can enter the 'poem' phase multiple times if you're slow

[haughty niche]

I think merc chunked the boss with gas grenades or something but i havent played merc yet

Every time ive fought count he does 2-3 poem phases

[warm lagoon]

i know, i fight him around 25 min each time so he enter like 5 times in the poem phase

[lusty hinge]

and yes, gas stuff prior to nerf could instagib him

[whole palm]

Is there better version of runes I’ve only encountered white ones?

[lusty hinge]

(still can tho but ya know)

[opaque stone]

Is there a way to kick people from my hideout?

[frank sonnet]

there aren't magic or rare runes, but there is another system called soul cores that can also go in the sockets and they have better mods on them

[lusty hinge]

leaving the area should do it

[whole palm]

I only have one and it’s good so I’m saving it for end game😂

[stiff badger]

do i have to redo all the acts if i want to make a new character?

[whole palm]

Yes

[lusty hinge]

yup

[stiff badger]

god dayum

[unreal spoke]

Hey everyone, hope you are all doing great. Is there any early mapping build for me to follow through? I'm having a rough time with tier 7 maps even though im 82 (invoker). I want to rebuild my character to see if there is any way to save it... :c

[lusty hinge]

though you can skip some quests, like molten vault

[opaque stone]

You can also buy some levelling uniques if that's your thing

[whole palm]

I would never skip such a cool boss

[opaque stone]

Lifesprig comes to mind

[whole palm]

Why are iron runes so hard to come by

[lusty hinge]

are they? iron is my highest in terms of quantity

[whole palm]

All I get are storm

[opaque stone]

Its just rng

Id assume theyre all the same

[whole palm]

What are the best stat for weapons for runes

[lusty hinge]

yeah, but seems like they're all quite common

[whole palm]

I’m merc btw

[lusty hinge]

depends on your build and what you need, for merc you probably need phys dmg

for that chonky dps

[whole palm]

I use mostly lightning skills but they convert from physical anyway

Would lightning dmg be better?

[vivid valley]

Is there somewhere I can check my freeze buildup bonus?

[lusty hinge]

that's a good question, I use fire conversion and 40-60% phys do increase my dps a decent bit, for boosting fire I would probably need to spec into fire damage passive nodes

[soft orbit]

the flat elemental rolls on runes are very low

likely % phys is better

[opaque stone]

Flat early, % later

[whole palm]

This crossbow I have has + 98% phys already would more just be detrimental?

[soft orbit]

there's not really diminishing returns like that

[whole palm]

I’m in cruel act 1

[warm lagoon]

hum i have a nooby question guys, sometimes, like right now, i justy made a portal to switch gear because i couldnt beat the boss, and the portal just disapeared, so i need to find the entrance of the arena all over again, why that ?

[upbeat igloo]

Dont overthink it, stack phys dmg

[tall axle]

Guys, should I lvl up Lighting arrow to lvl2? Or buy escape shot?

I can both actually

[whole palm]

Whatever is fun for you

[lusty hinge]

no, that's still be very good, 40% (or 60% if lucky with vaal) is nothing to scoff at

[soft orbit]

read escape shot and see if you want it

[frank sonnet]

after 8-15 minutes with nobody inside, the instance is destroyed

[warm lagoon]

oh

[sudden vault]

I'm a level 27 Merc following the maxroll grenade leveling build, but am stuck at the bosses of the Horn of Vastriri. I have no problem at all getting to all 3 bosses, but feel super underpowered trying to kill them. Just don't have the 7x of each flask just isn't enough to the slow speed it takes to do damage. Thoughts on how to start working out what's wrong?

[warm lagoon]

...

[soft orbit]

if you question every decision the game gives you, you will be asking every minute what to do

just have to try

[tall axle]

Yeah but what if I never get skill gem again? Won't I ruin my build? Or skill gems drops a lot?

[fading yoke]

is this of any use?

[upbeat igloo]

Skill gems drop a ton, eventually you get more than you need

[mental dome]

After all missions i should be -40% all resits and 0% chaos?

Or am i missing something?

[soft orbit]

portals shouldn't really disappear unless you leave for a very long time

[whole palm]

Where do I go to trade cause I only have 3 iron runes

[lusty hinge]

you'll have so many you'll get tired of selling them, I promise

[whole palm]

I got plenty of skill gems even before the loot update

[soft orbit]

correct

[mental dome]

ty 🙂

I was scared that i miss some bosses lol

[whole palm]

Where do I go to trade guys I need some iron runes🤣

[soft orbit]

you could still be missing spirit, do you have 100?

same with the two flat and % life bosses

[mental dome]

god damn

[frank sonnet]

currency exchange, should be an NPC offering it in town

[mental dome]

my brotha get;

fuckin hell im missin smth

[opaque stone]

Only in cruel

[soft orbit]

he has 5% from something

[haughty niche]

The exchsnge is available after doing finns quest in act 1 cruel

[whole palm]

I don’t know how to use it

[soft orbit]

you're not missing a boss

[lusty hinge]

trade website 😉

[weak vortex]

how do i get more than the 4 ascendancy points i have do i have to do the same but in cruel mode

[lusty hinge]

or exchange if they have it

ah yes, exchange has the runes

[haughty niche]

No

[sudden vault]

Is this an underwhelming weapon for a lvl 27 Merc? I feel very underpowered against bosses in Act II.

[weak vortex]

so can you only get 4 total

[haughty niche]

3 floor trial of sekima or 10 round trial of chaos for next points

[lusty hinge]

I'm scared

[mental dome]

Ok i got extra 30 spirit, what about % life bosses and 'two flat'

wdym about 'flat'

[weak vortex]

ah

[sudden vault]

(retry Pic did something wierd.) Is this an underwhelming weapon for a lvl 27 Merc? I feel very underpowered against bosses in Act II.

[whole palm]

I found it but you can’t buy with gold?

[haughty niche]

Gold is tax.

You pay with currency orbs

[soft orbit]

sorry I mean there's a boss in the manor before act 1 boss that gives flat life in normal and increased life in cruel

can check on the map if you have it

[weak forge]

Ngl I like GGG adding personal elements to the warrior and Clearfell

Does the same happen with the sorceress and the akhada ?

[haughty niche]

Exalt is the defauly currency. Might be a lot of runes per ex tho

[soft orbit]

flat being +30 life or whatever

[weak forge]

Is the sorceress from the adhura akhada or ?

[whole palm]

Is 10 augmentation orbs a good trade for 10 iron runes?

[haughty niche]

The sorc is maraketh and notes about things

[mental dome]

ok ty

[lusty hinge]

with 17 lvl difference I would probably start to look for smth to upgrade

[weak forge]

But they aren't from the adhura one right ?

||would be funny if we rejoined the caravan we were kicked out of lol||

[haughty niche]

The ardura are maraketh i thought but tbh i dont pay attention

[whole palm]

It looks really strong but what is the level of the weapon higher level comes with higher base phys dmg?

[weak forge]

Apparently there are different groups called Akhara

I'm guessing because it's based on the Indian word akhada which is used to represent sects/stables

Which is similar to a sumo wrestling stable

[lusty hinge]

clan pretty much

[atomic lintel]

guys

[fading yoke]

Anyone can advise on whetever this is worth using or selling?

[atomic lintel]

can somebody please explain Frazzled and how to get it/use it

[haughty niche]

We dont pricecheck

#price-check📉

[whole palm]

Are power charges only related to monk and quarterstaff?

[sudden vault]

Do weapons have their own level separate from the "Required Level?" This one is 10, so it might be getting a little stale, but it doesn't seem like 1 weapon up sill be that much stronger.

[whole palm]

Yes sometimes I have a lvl 44 crossbow currently and it requires lvl 38

[lusty hinge]

at lower level the rolls may not go up that high, so even the same dmg base but higher iLvl could be much stronger

[near garnet]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard
you can try lookin up similar on trade, but does not look like anything super usable/sellable

[frank sonnet]

there is a lot of dialogue about this with the people on the caravan. Iirc they are from a different group but the people on the caravan are aware of who they are and why they left

[sudden vault]

oh, how do I find out a weapon's level?

[atomic lintel]

can somebody please explain Frazzled and how to get it/use it

[whole palm]

I’m in console I click in R3

[brave wind]

Hey is anyone available to help me with the act 1 boss

[weak forge]

I see that's interesting.

I'm interested to know if the other classes will be added to the gallows or will they be unlocked like the ascendant

[lusty hinge]

@sudden vaultI can give you my old crossbow I crafted while lvling, it's just clogging my inventory anyway, for lvl 26

[near garnet]

ALT, on top

[sudden vault]

This is quite interesting. Can you say more?

[frank sonnet]

I'm not sure how they're going to fit all the classes, but they won't be unlocked

[whole palm]

It’s probably the same button as the compare button

[sudden vault]

That would be awesome! DMing you now.

[whole palm]

What is the purpose of ultimatum and Barya trial currency if you can’t get ascendancy points from them.

?

[dusky burrow]

you need one with more rounds / floors

[whole palm]

So what do I do with the ones that say it won’t grant points

[azure lava]

they give loot/chests/etc

[whole palm]

Like what is the use

[whole palm]

Oh ok

[azure lava]

and sekhema trials can drop relics to use in future runs

[dusky burrow]

jewels and soul cores are exclsive to trials and ultimatum respectively

[whole palm]

Does it matter if I use them in cruel or normal acts?

[grizzled spoke]

Is it dumb or possible for me to switch from an ice build to a lighting build on Monk on act 2?

[near garnet]

you can do em to farm relics(to sell), or for the look at the end, but other than that nothing much

[whole palm]

I didn’t even have a build and still kinda don’t

[near garnet]

go for it if you want, ur basicly on start

try stuff

[grizzled spoke]

What if i don’t have all the skills? What’s the fastest way to get skill orbs?

Is it just playing?

[whole palm]

Playing or trading

But you get plenty of gems from jsut playing

[near garnet]

i have few low level ones left if you need, but other than that some quests give em, or they just drop randomly

[grizzled spoke]

I’ve never traded before haha. I’m fairly new

[whole palm]

Me either I haven’t traded yet

[azure lava]

cannot trade until level 25

[whole palm]

I have a couple lvl 8 gems idk if that’s too high or not yet

[languid plinth]

Hey I picked the mercenary and the crossbow and all that and I got the frag rounds but now I cant shoot regular bolts anymore, is there a button to switch or is that crossbow stuck with frag rounds?

[whole palm]

It’s a separate skill

You may have taken off the regular bolt skill

[weak vortex]

how do i get more spirit, higheset i can get is 80 with a +50 chest and base 30

[whole palm]

It looks like this

[languid plinth]

😔

[grizzled spoke]

Like right now. I feel like my skill damage is little to none. While my regular attack is strong af

[dusky burrow]

you need to use the skill's mechanics to make it better than default attack

it doesnt just get to be better for free, you need to figure it out
