[timid coral]

ty 🙂

at first it complained about spirit

then i removed mana remants, still was greyed out

so i assumed it was the same problem

but it was not!

[lament stone]

im pretty sure mana remnants cant be used by cast on x skills

[mental needle]

How do you only have 2 skeletal arsonists? No sceptre?

[timid coral]

no no i meant i had mana remnants equipped with reserves spirit

[lament stone]

oh right

[drowsy wing]

Anyone know?

[lament stone]

yes, grenades are attacks

[wooden quail]

how many floors are there in trials of chaos?

[tacit knot]

Sir / miss could u please explain how the extra damage on debuffed enemeis for bonestorm works?

[foggy birch]

10

[desert jungle]

Any recommendations for a lol 13 merc on king of the mists final boss? Everything else has been a breeze so far but the difficulty really jumped up with this fight.

[rough birch]

Am I supposed to be having more?

[wooden quail]

fuck im only on the second one. thanks

[foggy birch]

ur cooked dawg

gl

[shrewd hazel]

killed her

basic attacks oip

[lament stone]

debuffed enemies take additional physical damage from next attack, meaning only attack skills get some more damage when they hit an enemy debuffed by bonestorm

[mental needle]

God damn they're pricy. Cost goes down signifcantly with level so be sure to keep that up to date. Also that scattershot support gem they have is bad at single target

[wooden quail]

no teleports correct?

or can i tp back to change my skills

[lament stone]

basically the next attack that hits the enemy debuffed by bonestorm will have extra physical damage, and sounds like it removes the debuff too

[tacit knot]

Jeez totally misread that thabks. Do u see a nice combo fir that? What skill could u possibly combine this with lol, rare build combo of melee and spells?

[oblique socket]

do you benefit from secondary weapon stats if ur using the primary?

[lament stone]

minions

[drowsy wing]

Nice, btw what item is worth using orb of chance on?

[rough birch]

Trying to follow these steps but I don't get any above lv6 for skill gems yet

[devout nimbus]

i got the ticket for 4th ascendncy but the level is 53, is that normal? do i need to do 3rd first to get to the 4th?

[lament stone]

just keep doing the campaign and youll get there

[foggy birch]

yeee

teleport allowed

[mental needle]

They will drop/quest rewards

[lament stone]

thats not for the 4th ascendancy

for 4th ascendancy it needs to be level 75+ with either 4 floor sekhema or 10 round chaos

[rough birch]

How significant is +X% increased rarity in items found?

[mental needle]

Quite significant

A little goes a long way

[vivid cedar]

what runes are best for sorcerer?

[rough birch]

Do I swap +19% out for +1 level on all minion skills?

I have a helmet that double rolled item rarity

[desert jungle]

Any recommendations for a lvl 13 merc on king of the mists final boss? Everything else has been a breeze so far but the difficulty really jumped up with this fight.

[rough birch]

11 out of 8-11, and another 8 from 6-10

Do I just keep it?

[mental needle]

Minion skill level is really good, if you're already struggling to kill stuff I wouldn't get rid of it

[lament stone]

theres no life or elemental resists on that item so id swap it out even for a magic item

[rough birch]

Atm I have the above one with item rarity equipped

But I just dropped this

[mental needle]

Use that one

[lament stone]

yes that second one is way better

[mental needle]

It's very good. Life resist and skill levels

[viral cargo]

there are 1 or 2 of these in every act. either upgrade gear, level up, change passives or learn the bosses skillset to dodge perfectly

[desert jungle]

Got it, ty

[mental needle]

Rarity is very good but it's still a luxury stat

[uncut wharf]

In the trial of chaos boss how on earth do you avoid the tornado

[shrewd hazel]

so how do i make my attack speed phys build into bleed?

[devout nimbus]

i got a quick question about minion build, so the third ascendancy will allow me to have skill that have more spirit with 25% of HP, but if i want to do 1 HP build evantually, do the skill still give me spirit?

[lament stone]

it wont

[foggy birch]

hmm behead gem might be bugged,sometimes it gives me the modifier after killing a rare mob,sometimes dont

[vivid cedar]

ight ty ❤️

[mental needle]

What ascendancy are you playing?

[lament stone]

you cant reserve any life if you only have 1 life

[shrewd hazel]

deadeye

[rough birch]

I'll stash it I guess? 19% seems high for a single slot, maybe in the future I equip it for farming or something idk

[devout nimbus]

that makes sense, just wondering which one is better off? as i'm stuggling to get more spirit but also want to do 1 HP build which seems powerful 😅

[lament stone]

nah 19% is nothing compared to what you can get later on

[viral cargo]

you want 100+ to feel a diff

[tacit knot]

Armour broken below 0 is capped by the enemy's base Armour. What does this mean? Does armour below 0 have a limit?

[mental needle]

You could if you wanted, or if trash clear is easy you could put that on and then swap when you get to a boss.

[rough birch]

Unequipped this and lost half my skills

[mental needle]

You need the intelligence to meet requirements

[gray cloak]

If you mean Chaos Innoculation, I suspect that PoE2's viability for that keystone is also post-campaign, same as PoE1 was.

I haven't finished campaign yet myself, but gear pressure feels worse in PoE2, which means that finding the gear to do Chaos Innoculation successfully will be harder.

[mental needle]

Go respec

You can swap attribute nodes

[rough birch]

290 gold a piece

[lament stone]

ci isnt that important in poe2 imo

nothing that can inflict poison inflicts any particularly dangerous poisons and you can get 10k+ es without ci so the occasional enemies that do chaos damage dont do much

the only real upside to ci in poe2 is the fact that you dont need chaos res on gear

[mental needle]

Idk the build so I'm just looking at other people. Jaytx on YouTube is playing bleed snipe witch hunter, but honestly the ascendancy doesn't seem that relevant to what he's doing, you could take a look at that.

[flint wind]

"the occasional chaos enemy"

You mean like 25% of all enemy's

[shrewd hazel]

ok thanks

[mental needle]

Yeah there's tons of chaos in this game

[lament stone]

enemies that inflict poison do mostly physical damage

[mental needle]

CI is v good

Poison is not the issue

Raw chaos damage is

[flint wind]

Poison or bleeding is not a issue lol

[mental needle]

Chaotic zealots be hittin

[flint wind]

In 200 maps I always died to one shots, never to dots

[waxen valley]

can someone help me find jiquanis machinarium cause I'm going insane and cant find shit

[shrewd hazel]

are seriously telling u used to not be able to roll through enemies

[lament stone]

you have 10k es and capped chaos res, chaos damage is not a problem

[waxen valley]

explored the entire map too

[gray cloak]

PoE1 had a lot of chaos hits or non-poison threatening chaos degen.

[stable drum]

behind the chimera boss

[mental needle]

Right past chimera arena

[gray cloak]

I'd assume that's true in PoE2 eventually.

[waxen valley]

[flint wind]

Having that much es and not doing CI is a viable option

CI just makes your life easier at that point as you don't lose much but gain immunities

[waxen valley]

can someone kill it for me please lmao I dont wanna fight that thing again

[lament stone]

infernalist reserving life is why

[flint wind]

That is a great point

I am planning doing monk CI so no blood magic for me

[lament stone]

i reserve 50% of life to gain a lot of es and spirit

[mental needle]

Infernalist and ghostwrithe are the main exceptions

But CI is still real good

[lament stone]

ghostwrithe works with ci

[mental needle]

Frees up affixes for rarity too

Yeah I know

[flint wind]

Oh I didn't knew that

[lament stone]

it calculates based on your life before its reduced by ci

[vast mesa]

I can always switch between them later on?

[lament stone]

also gives a lot of chaos res tho which is kind of a wasted stat with ci

but very useful without ci

[devout nimbus]

😭 i was trying to do infernalist with CI... guess need to something else

[lament stone]

but you get no spirit from body armour with that, so theres still a downside there

[mental needle]

Anytime you just have to go back to the altar

[lament stone]

you can still do it, just cant use the reservation nodes

[vast mesa]

right is better for minions right?

[mental needle]

Right is usually better yeah

Unless you are never running out of mana

[devout nimbus]

i think that node is they only one i can get spirits right? other spirits i need to get from weapon or armor

[lament stone]

yea

[mental needle]

Armor amulet and sceptres can get spirit

Helmet can corrupt for spirit

[lament stone]

if you wanted as much spirit as possible, you wouldnt be able to go ci

[mental needle]

I think CI infernalist is hard because you can't reserve with it and afaik you can't do demon form either

[heady panther]

I don't understand this node, what does it mean by evading all hits

[devout nimbus]

😭

[mental needle]

Ghostwrithe no CI is doable though

[mental needle]

All hits, aoes, slams etc

[flint wind]

Evasion alone can't dodge spells (like aoe on the ground, or big slams)

With that you can

[heady panther]

ooooh okay

[near osprey]

it means you can evade all hits, but you get 70% less evasion so you won't evade shit

[heady panther]

yeah 70% less is too much

[lament stone]

by default you can only evade projectiles and melee strikes

[mental needle]

Nah u can still get hella evasion with acro

But it's a later game keystone

[heady panther]

I'm in act 2 cruel I am not taking this or I'll die twice as much

but very good to know for later

ty

[old scroll]

hi, i finished act 3 and still have these idols, went back to oswald but see no option to trade them with him?

[lament stone]

most keystones are like that tbh, they need significant investment to really make use of them

[alpine silo]

i feel like mercenary is very powerful (lvl 30 btw)

[lament stone]

you just sell them to him

[near osprey]

My monk probably could get more evasion, but I can't half clear a t1 map with him he just gets mercd instantly. not sure how that node is suposed to help evade more

[old scroll]

ohhhhhhh

tyty

[devout nimbus]

i'm trying to get more brutes which needs lots of spirits, tbh i didn't find much guides about the skeleton brutes, not sure if they are not good minion for infernalist

[lament stone]

its just one piece of a build, you need all the pieces to come together for it to start feeling really tanky

[mental needle]

Evasion is not a standalone defense

It needs energy shield or life behind it alongside some mitigation

[flint wind]

You take that if you have really good and expensive and gear evasion gear normally

[heady panther]

I'm doing both evasion and energy shield for my power charge lightning monk, it's working well so far

[rough birch]

Does every act map have a mini boss secret boss something to kill for perma buffs? Am I missing out on some of them by not 100% discovering the maps and just trying to go through the act as fast as possible?

[heady panther]

I'll wait till I have too much evasion for this keystone

[mental needle]

They have multiple

If you press U you can see. Anything with a + next to it has permanent bonuses

[heady panther]

this is how much I have in act 2 cruel with terrible gear, I think it's fine?

[golden condor]

looks like chimera pet will be available in store once we get full release

[rough birch]

So this means I killed the darker grey one to bottom right but not the other one?

[mental needle]

Yes

[rough birch]

Guess it's backtracking time

[mental needle]

But the light grey one has no +

It is optional

Just more loot

But mostly full clearing on your first playthrough is advisable

[rough birch]

I think I full cleared Act1 based on this?

[mental needle]

Look underground

Right side button

[mental needle]

Yes

[timber patio]

how do i link items in the chat with the controller?

[rough birch]

Guess I missed out on a chest

Treasure room or something

[mental needle]

Just gold iirc

[rough birch]

Can't seem to keep my gold in my pocket

[foggy birch]

damn

brokie

[mental needle]

By the end of campaign you should have 20 fire cold lightning res, +20 life 8% increased life, 100 spirit and 24 weapon set skill points.

[rough birch]

Can't fight the demons in my head

[vital maple]

where can I see my stun threshold?

[rough birch]

They make me gamble items

[raw snow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4oP-WkyGG8&ab_channel=SanyoKes

[foggy birch]

thats how they designed it not ur fault

[mental needle]

@rough birch https://poe2db.tw/us/Quest#Quest_Markdown here is a useful list of all the important completion stuff. Spoilers ig.

[hexed rapids]

Does upgrading raging spirits level do anything? The tooltip shows the same stats?

[mental needle]

Also I would try to keep some gold in ur pocket in case a vendor has something juicy

10-15k or so

[jolly comet]

anyone has this issue or knows how to fix it, it seems to be 1 mob that glitches out after dying

[proven matrix]

Support gems have llvs?

[mental needle]

Three tiers they can't be levelled for more power though

[foggy birch]

mann some maps just be laggy for no reason

[proven matrix]

I’ve made second scatter shot by mistake:/

[stark lynx]

That -2 fire will get you killed

[heady panther]

yes my resistances are non existant currently

my gear might as well not exist lol

[stark lynx]

oh well roll the dice with evasion and coinflip

[heady panther]

basically what happens right now, I'll just farm for better gear once I get to endgame

I feel like if I invest rn I'll be wasting currency

(not that I have much)

[near osprey]

but you won't get to end game if you don't invest now 😉

[heady panther]

so far that hasn't been proven, I might hit a wall who knows

I will*

[mental needle]

They're monk, no boss can stop them from reaching endgame

[alpine silo]

does the dps next to the skill take into account all projectiles? or is it the damage of a single projectile? (specifically ones that can use the Scattershot gem)

[foggy birch]

easy

[mental needle]

They will simply get belled

[foggy birch]

u have a good weapon tho right

i hope

[near osprey]

bosses are easier than some normal mobs

[heady panther]

my skills

working pretty well

my weapon is okay

[stark lynx]

trans aug into regal is worth it

trans and aug are freebies anyhow

[mental needle]

For monk definitely

For most builds tbh

[heady panther]

I struggle to get regals

[stark lynx]

vendor rares

[heady panther]

but I have too many augs and trans

I do, I just need to play more I guess

[stark lynx]

I mean just regal the ones that hit 2 "perfect" magic item mods

[near osprey]

"you were smashing everything in sight, but 3 guys jump slamed you in a row while there was lightning on the ground. or something. lol try again"

[stark lynx]

dont regal 1 hit 1 miss trans augs

[timber fjord]

what level is raging spirit?

[heady panther]

yeah true I get too excited about having a regal I just use it right away

[foggy birch]

lmaoo

[stark lynx]

Only gamba regal I'd use is weapons

[mental needle]

Depends how badly that slot needs an upgrade tbh

[stark lynx]

as those are core of your dmg

[mental needle]

But yes use regals wisely

[foggy birch]

which orb is the best looking

[stark lynx]

Don't regal an item that you wouldnt use by how it is before regaling

[foggy birch]

i think orb of alchemy looks cold

[heady panther]

Once I get to end of act 3 cruel I'll start picking up every regular base I need and I'll do a ton of blue gamba

then regal the good stuff

[noble lynx]

Did they remove or just move currency exchange?

[shrewd hazel]

bro is there a bug for the high priest boss? it wont respawn me at the checkpoint

[heady panther]

it's there but you need to reach cruel acts

[noble lynx]

Oh ok thx

[near osprey]

not sure if it was this boss, but i've had that happen before. had to alt-f4

[narrow swan]

i just got a 50% resistance penalty or something. just got in Cruel act 3? what this

[shrewd hazel]

yea prob. i just killed him instead i guess

good thing he wasnt hard lol

[mental needle]

You lose 10 per act

[rough birch]

Can I do the portal to town > sell my crap > be able to pick shit up again ritual in trial of sekhemas?

[mental needle]

Yes

[gentle linden]

is there a fix to the game crashes in sandswept marsh? my game crashed during the cutscene and whenever i try to load in the area

[mental needle]

You can also pause the run at any time

[oblique socket]

how do i look at other people stash to buy stuff

[lament stone]

@rough birch don't portal out, use the exit button on the map

[edgy timber]

when do i get jewels?

[heady panther]

they drop from time to time, they are rare

any act

[rough birch]

The what

[timber fjord]

cemetary boss so easy just contagion and run lol

[burnt junco]

Unless it's an emerald with one good mod

[jade wadi]

i bought this item, why is it not shown the cast speed in game ?

[mental needle]

Random drop, chest reward from royal chest in trial of the Sekhema. Ninth treasure of Keth Lao guaranteed drops one in act 2

[mental needle]

The cast speed is from the practiced signs anointment

[lament stone]

the cast speed is what you get from the anoint

[waxen valley]

for the 3rd section of the 2nd ascendency wtf am I supposed to do I cant reach the vaal soul cores

[jade wadi]

what is that 😭

[mental needle]

It's a notable on the skill tree

[lament stone]

switches, press z if youve hidden all the text for the switches

[kind horizon]

about how much Inc fire damage do I need to profit off avatar of fire?

[waxen valley]

i hit the switch but i dont see any other switches

[mental needle]

That the amulet gives you, you can instill amulets with distilled emotions to get a notable from anywhere in the tree

[mental needle]

Is this the arena with the walls that you use levers on?

[timber fjord]

leveling up unearth just increasees the damage and thats it?

[jade wadi]

this is the skill tree right

[waxen valley]

looks like this and you pull the levers to unlock a new area but theres no other lever/switch in those 2 areas

I only found 1 switch thats it

[mental needle]

Yes, search for practiced signs skill, it will be allocated with that amulet eqipped

[urban dune]

Hi, what are the best support gems to use with Cast on Shock when using Lightning Conduit? I have only 3 gem slots and am currently using: Lightning Conduit + Controlled Destruction + Elemental Focus.
the "supported skill cannot deal critical hits" for controlled desctruction is applied to lightning conduit ?

[stone quail]

anyone else having trouble with hunting grounds? im getting absolutely battered

[foggy birch]

get on that elevator big dawg

[flint plume]

There:s one where you have to ride the elevator back up to use the walls as bridges

[mental needle]

They all look like that in the center, I'm just wondering if it has the wall you put up and down

[waxen valley]

ah thanks

[ionic wagon]

Are you guys still picking up all of the rares you see? I feel like i cant recognize good versions of certain items and i get too many of tem so im slowing down on picking them up and identifying a lot at all...

[mental needle]

You will need to use the elevator if so

[scarlet magnet]

do you take too much damage or not deal enough damage as fast as you need too

[timber fjord]

minion instability not working on unearth minions

[waxen valley]

it was the one I came from so I assumed going back wasnt the correct choice

[jade wadi]

i got it

[flint plume]

Yeah, CO trolled destruction will stop lightning conduit from critting

[scarlet magnet]

just see what is the main issues and try to work on that. Thats the best way to advance

[jade wadi]

so basically i got the 6% cast speed ?

[stone quail]

Both, mostly getting destroyed by the distance minions though

[scarlet magnet]

whats ur class and build

[mental needle]

Well it looks like you already have that skill allocated without the amulet

So it gives you nothing

[urban dune]

so what should i use instead ?

[scarlet magnet]

the venom spider like creatures?

[jade wadi]

I need to refund it right

[stone quail]

yeah, if theres more than one, they just shred my HP

[mental needle]

Yeah you can and take the mana path instead

[scarlet magnet]

probs need a bit more hp cause thats the only way to counter poison

[mental needle]

If you're overwhelmed just pick rares of types you will use

[scarlet magnet]

but aside from that whats ur class and build

[sick mortar]

which quarterstaff is good for the stat stacking gemling build?

[scarlet magnet]

maybe farm a bit and focus on one specific skills damage

[sick mortar]

chaos resist also counters poison

[scarlet magnet]

also dodge rolling near them (but still not right ontop of them) helps a hit

bit

[scarlet magnet]

hard to get early on

[mental needle]

Pillar of the caged god

[flint plume]

Not sure, I know there:s a maxroll guide for Cos lightning conduit, could check that. Maybe Impetus?

[sick mortar]

is that the only staff used? I was curious as its such a low levelled weapon

[stone quail]

sorceress, my gear is terrible I haven't gotten lucky at all

[scarlet magnet]

like their attacks can be dodge by rolling towards them instead of to the side of to the back

[scarlet magnet]

whats ur damage type or build you going for

?

[mental needle]

Basically, yes

You just get as much flat damage as possible and pillar will juice it up

[stone quail]

no specific build as currently lvl 10

[mental needle]

Hand of wisdom and action is ideal but expensive

[sick mortar]

yeah id be playing a pre howa build

[scarlet magnet]

whats your skill set up in that case

[sick mortar]

you seem a new player so ill give you the best advice in terms of gear

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

[urban dune]

will try it thanks !

[sick mortar]

just use this for gear, most drops and things you use exalteds on will be bad

[meager galleon]

yeah thats kinda all over the place

[sick mortar]

for 1 exalted orb when you get them, youll be able to buy a nice bit of gear

[mental needle]

You don't need those intelligence nodes at all

[meager galleon]

spark and flamewall is a good combo

[scarlet magnet]

i would recommend just spaming spark and trying to get another skill gem to level it up

it's fast

[meager galleon]

but unearth kinda doesnt match anything there

[scarlet magnet]

and doesnt have a super long cast speed that will make you get stun locked

[meager galleon]

and then you also have another fire and cold skill

[mental needle]

They aren't taking you anywhere you can't already go. Intelligence only gives you mana and let's you meet int requirements, you don't need a ton early on

[sick mortar]

need their account name

[scarlet magnet]

you also dont need perfect aiming

[sick mortar]

like the name#number

[meager galleon]

in poe its good to decide on the element(or2) you want to focus on

[scarlet magnet]

you can pair it with flame wall to have it do more damage

[stone quail]

cool thanks for the advice i'll re-spec a little and maybe re-do some areas to get some further gems

[sick mortar]

no dont re do areas

you get basically no xp and you want to keep pushing the areas forward as thats the only way to get higher gems

this game punishes you for farming zones by making you get no xp for a while

[scarlet magnet]

yeah like early game cast speed is good to not make you take 10 years to use your skills so you can dodge and do damage

[meager galleon]

the xp penalty is only if you are too far above the zone level

[scarlet magnet]

like skills with low cast speed i mean ....not fully building into it from the start

[sick mortar]

imo with the pacing of acts 1-3 and 1-3 cruel, theres no need to purposely reclear zones, especially when deaths revive mobs anyway

[stone quail]

Okay sweet, I have re-spec'd to dmg/cast speed

[sick mortar]

this game does a much better thing of it than pokemon for getting levels up

[heady panther]

are there other ways to get dodge roll distance? I don't think I'll keep this amulet forever but having 1 extra meter is so good

[waxen valley]

I died to the boss on the 2nd ascendancy to lag very cool

[sick mortar]

pretty sure its just this amulet

[heady panther]

man

[sick mortar]

maybe another unique has it too

i used that until level 45ish

then stopped

[heady panther]

It works so well with gathering storm to move around fast

dodge roll right after perfect charge

[white estuary]

Is there any must do (= gives permant stats) Boss that does not has the + symbol on the map?

[sick mortar]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/permanent-stats-from-campaign

[inland sentinel]

There won’t be any hidden stats given by non-bosses

[agile flare]

Hii someone to play ?, im new lvl 15 act 1 i speak spanish and english

[inland sentinel]

Elite rares marked on the map next to checkpoints do drop more loot and some extra useful utility items

[inland sentinel]

#2┃looking-for-group go there

[meager galleon]

i agree that there is no reason to redo zones, just correcting the xp penalty info :)

[white estuary]

and @inland sentinel ty for answering the questions. So, basically for speed running, skip all besides the ones marked with the + and specific side quests (like the venom one in act 2)

[inland sentinel]

The rng quests too I believe is safe to skip

Iirc valley of the titans quest has 1 relic that drops from mobs

But it’s no sweat if you can’t find it

[white estuary]

Campaign does feel longer then the poe1 experience, but I think it is because my chars feel just a lot weaker and slower. They did say, waaay back, that they wanted the poe2 campaign to be a bit faster then the poe1 campaign, when they still wanted it to be 1 game.

[desert jungle]

I am running into an enemy type called blood cretin in ogram village. I have 4 units i have killed 20 times or so, they dissolve into a blood pool and then respawn out of it. Am I missing a mechanic or is this a bug?

[maiden summit]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[torpid apex]

Anyone else have bad dmg on bosses on grenade merc?

[lament stone]

sometimes rare monsters can spawn minions, and sometimes they have the revives minions mod, so youd need to find the rare monster thats reviving them

[mental needle]

There are rare monsters that can get the modifier to resurrect their minions

[sinful ivy]

How to do trial eith invoker monk build I am not dying but my 1k honor is just vanished in 2nd room ?

[lament stone]

dont get hit

[desert jungle]

Ahhhh ty

[desert jungle]

Ahhh ty

[sinful ivy]

That’s the problem I am plying meele so to deal damage I am also taking damage

[lament stone]

just learn the enemy patterns, face tanking isnt what you should be doing

[sinful ivy]

Ohk

[scarlet magnet]

just play a couple times and get relics, look for honor resistance

[lament stone]

its possible to do nohit sekhema on melee

[late condor]

is getting close to 100% crit chance on a skill realistic?

[scarlet magnet]

try to do escape rooms and stuff with less monters

[shut abyss]

and damage!

[scarlet magnet]

honestly i just run honor res and max honor

[sinful ivy]

I have that tempest flurry

[lament stone]

its possible, but most skills will never get there

[scarlet magnet]

so like that you restore more and lose less

[pastel lance]

What are these invulnerable spiders that keep chasing me?

[sinful ivy]

I can damage but not from range

[knotty pulsar]

Guys, when will I receive the 4th skill gem for my auto attacks?

[pastel lance]

I can't kill them or run away

[haughty niche]

Defenses relics are pretty good too. One 40% defenses relic took my honour from like 1500 to 2100 or something like that

[mental needle]

If you are using ES yes it's good

[haughty niche]

Im life

[scarlet magnet]

just take your time with sehkima honestly the more you think before you jump into a hoard of 50 monsters the better

[haughty niche]

On es its like + several thousand honour lol

[mental needle]

Defenses shouldn't scale your honor. Is it defined differently for the relics?

[pastel lance]

help...

[lament stone]

once you know enemy attack patterns and you know what can or cant hit you, what can easily be avoided it gets a lot easier

[scarlet magnet]

probs has another mod to increase total honor

[haughty niche]

They do

Its just that es is consixered a defense stupidly even though everyone uses it as lifepool

[mental needle]

Yes I know es is a defense

But you said you got honor on a life build

[gilded atlas]

I need help understanding combat frenzy and resonance. My normal ways of generating power charges now gives me endurance. is this correct?

[mental needle]

With defense mod

[agile scarab]

where to find and buy emotions? i want one but i cant find it in currency exchange

[haughty niche]

Yeah. The small amount of armour

[pastel lance]

May I ask are these invulnerable enemies a bug or intended....

[lament stone]

yes, which is why you now use combat frenzy, because that generate power charges if you use resonance

[gilded atlas]

so my tempest flurry will give me power charges?

[timber fjord]

building life armour summoner witch

[haughty niche]

Even with like 500 armour i bumped my honour up by a quarter for 1 small relic

[mental needle]

But armor doesn't scale your honor, it provides mitigation but not flat honor

[scarlet magnet]

not sure but might be a summon, you might just need to kill the summoner

[shut abyss]

do they actually damage you?

[pastel lance]

yes

[scarlet magnet]

that area of the map has a lot of summoners that make things respawn

[pastel lance]

they chase me everywhere

[mental needle]

I take the 0 armor affliction all the time and it does nothing to my honor

[shut abyss]

are they "minions"?

[pastel lance]

I need to keep moving to regen

idk. Not targetable

my aoe can't dmg them

[shut abyss]

bug or they might be a add of a rare that you cannot hit

[shrewd hazel]

at least u guys understand what frenzy charges even are lol. i have combat frenzy on and im clueless if it even does anything lol

[pastel lance]

I manage to go through a portal and come back, they still there

[scarlet magnet]

maybe create a new instance of the area if your up to it

[pastel lance]

I can stream to show....

[mental needle]

Frenzy charges do nothing by themselves, you need to spend them on something or have the charge infusion spirit skill

[wraith anchor]

If I’m level 30 is there anyway to get divine orb or does that usually come later levels?

[scarlet magnet]

but it might just be a skill or mod from a monster in the area

[pastel lance]

I am now hiding behind portals

[mental needle]

You can if you're very lucky, just a random drop

[lament stone]

divine orbs are just very rare drops

ive only dropped 1 so far

[scarlet magnet]

possible but harder

[pastel lance]

cause as soon as I appear these spiders start chasing me

[wraith anchor]

I feel like my sorc is so weak I die so fast

[scarlet magnet]

depends on the monster rarity

and also your rarity find

from gear

[shut abyss]

./invite moppari

[scarlet magnet]

ive only seen 3 so far

[wraith anchor]

Dang really

[shrewd hazel]

how do i spend them on something

[scarlet magnet]

yeah... but you dont need them early

[shrewd hazel]

i also dont even know when i have one

[mental needle]

Some skills have inbuilt spending bonuses like rain of arrows

[wraith anchor]

I also have another question for my skills rn I have two sockets only, how do people get all 5??

[scarlet magnet]

its more of an endgame currency

[gilded atlas]

tempest flurry isnt generating any power charges for me ?

[lament stone]

endgame thing

[shrewd hazel]

oh

[mental needle]

Or there is a support gem you can put on a skill to make any skill a spender

[uncut wharf]

do bosses count as rare monsters in regard to relic buffs?

[scarlet magnet]

jeweler orvs

also a rare drop

[wraith anchor]

Okay I feel like I needed it to get good items but if I’m still early in the game then I’ll just grind on

[lament stone]

you get 2 guaranteed lesser jewellers in campaign

[scarlet magnet]

but they get more common later on

[wraith anchor]

Dang

[scarlet magnet]

usually could find them in act 2

[mental needle]

Top left you can see your frenzy charges @shrewd hazel

[lament stone]

but its extremely unlikely youll get greaters and perfects until way into maps

[shrewd hazel]

ohhh

[wraith anchor]

Bet that’s where I’m at now I’ll keep an eye out, how do these streamers have highlighted drops?? Is that a third party tool?

[shrewd hazel]

i see

[scarlet magnet]

lesser jeweler drops more common the later you get into the game and you probs wont get a greater (4 support slot) until end game

[scarlet magnet]

yeah

[wraith anchor]

So I should be patient for now? Lol

[mental needle]

Loot filter. Yes third party

[scarlet magnet]

basically

[wraith anchor]

I feel like I’m so behind but I’m level 30

[scarlet magnet]

nah your good

[wraith anchor]

27 to be exact

[mental needle]

There is a guaranteed jewelers orb drop in the first area of act 3

[scarlet magnet]

act 2 is like lvl 22

area

[mental needle]

If you kill a couple rare mobs

[pastel lance]

@shut abyss tysm!

[wraith anchor]

Thank you!!!

[lament stone]

act 2 goes from 17-32

[narrow swan]

Games gonna be in Early access for a long time still, so its not like this LEague will end anytime soon

[gilded atlas]

i have combat frenzy enabled and resonance - Tempest flurry is not giving me any power charges now tho idk what i am doing wrong

[wraith anchor]

With my 200 that I got for buying the game should I save that or is there something that’s a must buy on the market place

[lament stone]

"gain a frenzy charge when you freeze, electrocute or pin an enemy"

[wraith anchor]

Or 300*** I forgot which one lol

[gilded atlas]

but flurry electrocutes no?

[scarlet magnet]

i would recommend a premium stash tab

[shut abyss]

by default no

[scarlet magnet]

to be able to sell items you find

[wraith anchor]

That’s what I’ve been reading the stash tab

[edgy jacinth]

For the trial of sek. Can you do all the paths or is one choice one way. It’s my first run through. Any tips besides don’t die? lol

[scarlet magnet]

it becomes basically essential in the end game

[gilded atlas]

oh do i need conduction

[scarlet magnet]

aside from that a currency stash tab

[wraith anchor]

Dang so much alpha in here thank you

[lament stone]

you need very specific uniques or a support gem to electrocute, its way easier to freeze

[gilded atlas]

so freezeing is by the herald of ice buff

[lament stone]

no

[mental needle]

Wait for stash tab sale. If you're trading 1 or 2 premium tabs is good, currency tab is a must, gem tab is really nice, and the eventual waystone/map tab is also borderline a must if you play late into endgame.

[lament stone]

you use your main damage skill to freeze

[gilded atlas]

which is flurry or charged staff

i assume flurry

[wraith anchor]

Thank you!!!

[mental needle]

Stash tab sale is likely in two weeks btw

If you don't want to wait fully you can buy 1 prem tab just to enable yourself to sell stuff more easily

[golden bay]

What's the reason I can't double my energy shield pool with meditate? It just stays at 3970 - I don't understand... ?

[lament stone]

are you holding the button you have the skill bound to?

[golden bay]

I do, yes

[shut abyss]

also it's very easy to cancel

[golden bay]

Is ghostwrithe somehow interfering with it?

[mental needle]

Try it without ghostwrithe and see but it shouldn't

[timber fjord]

that nice

[golden bay]

hm, it just stays. I don't get it. I just respecced it for gold, so maybe it's bugged...?

[tacit elk]

This does not apply to my bonestorm because its a spell correct?

[mental needle]

Try full exit the game and reopen

Respec is weird sometimes

[lament stone]

correct

[golden bay]

I found the issue.
It's this talent

[shut abyss]

does it recharge your life? 😄

[mental needle]

Ah, yeah it is recharge technically

Lmao wait

[golden bay]

it probably does

thats a huuge health potion

[golden bay]

[shut abyss]

don't take damage

[opaque stone]

That would actually be sick as hell if it overcapped

[stone quail]

are you able to make the game show item stats above the item as opposed to bottom right of the screen on PC?

when hovering over something on the ground

[mental needle]

Yeah I don't think it does, just heal

[shut abyss]

10k es on a monk is nice too

[mental needle]

Yeah but grim feast does it for 30 spirit

When feast gets nerfed meditate could be noice though

Or if you have serious socket pressure

[shut abyss]

grim feast stops working with polcrkeln 😦 also doesn't work on bosses

[mental needle]

What do you mean?

[shut abyss]

that die in your ~presence~

[mental needle]

If you shatter a body it won't spawn the mote?

[shut abyss]

you don't get enough motes because you kill most of the mobs outside your presence

[mental needle]

Oh I mean it doesn't get the chain explosions but it still gets the ones near you then?

huh

I'll take your word I never used the ring

[shut abyss]

positive problem since you kill them too easy

BUT bigger point imo is that you can use medidate in boss fights! huuge

[hollow hemlock]

hey
any news about constant crashes? i cant finish my 2nd trial of chaos...

[timber fjord]

i dont see raging spirits under my skill gem

is it spirit?

[tranquil bone]

do you guys do the objectives that dont give perm buffs? idk if its worth the time

like do u just go to the next map

[heavy gyro]

Hey all
Looking for a good laptop to play POE2 on. My current one crashes all the time and rifts are essentially impossible to do, due to lag. Does anyone know of a good laptop on amazon / bestbuy that I can get for the sole purpose of playing POE2 ?

[hallow iron]

How does slow work exactly? It reduces movement speed and attack speed?

Or just reduces the speed of all animations?

[opaque stone]

Acts 1 - 3 its worth id say, cruel and second characters not so much

[opaque stone]

Speed of all animations by default, but some specify only move/attack speed and such

[hallow iron]

Wdym by some, like specific sources of slow will only affect move/atk speed?

[craggy gyro]

Just hit maps tier 1. is there a general rule of thumb to follow or just play by ear?

[steel prawn]

Anyone know, will poe2 have any character visual customization besides gear? I like to change hairstyles/colors in RPGs and didnt see options for this yet

[lament stone]

it wont

[hallow iron]

I was interested in stacking apex of the moment with temporal chains, so if it reduces enemy attack speed too then it would be a very good defensive option

[lament stone]

your build is the character customisation here

[steel prawn]

good to know, thats a shame for me but thanks for answering

[opaque stone]

Yeah those affect everything, something like Hinder is movement only

[hallow iron]

Gotchu, i got one more question: how effective would this slow stacking be against bosses? Are they immune?

[opaque stone]

They have a minimum speed, but very effective

[pliant locust]

How do I get my 4th ascension? I have had done 3 trials now, just need the 4th at the temple of chaos id assume. I have a lot of ultimatums but none will award ascendancy points.

[fresh bluff]

Gonna need find a djinn with 4 or chaos w 10

[opaque stone]

For your fourth set from Ultimatum, you need to collect 3 fragments that can be entered to allow you to fight the Trialmaster

[hallow iron]

Oh wow, making bosses attack slower alone would help me immensely

Thanks for the advice

I might try to swap to it in my build

[kind horizon]

Is there any way to make my character stand still when using molten blast, rather than taking a few steps forward every time?

[tacit elk]

Is there a reason to level up my raise zombie gems? I see no difference except it hurts my mana lol

[shut abyss]

afaik no, it's the attack animation

[lusty hinge]

It affects their stats..

[outer wadi]

okay I'm on act 2 hardcore... Trying to use Skeletal Sniper as main damage (mostly basic attacks)
is there any build guide that could help? most i see go arsonist

Or should i just go Detonate Dead (no idea how it would work on bosses tho

[lusty hinge]

If there won't be any corpses ?

[outer wadi]

yeah, not al lbosses summon minions

[edgy jacinth]

The game glitched and I died but my life was always at full. Minions killed him. Had to restart game. Where is the alter to ascend?!

[lusty hinge]

Want to make content trivial, blow up snipers command

[lusty hinge]

Restart, you failed

[naive oak]

Hello, a helmet with "X% Increased Energy Shield" is only valid for the helmet or is it global ?

[nimble sluice]

you lost all your honour

hp doesn't matter

0 honour = fail

[outer wadi]

I did try it... still have the flame wall and raging spirits, on the skill, but that explosion just don't seem to do that much damage

[topaz junco]

the helmet

[edgy jacinth]

Ahhh i see now thank you

[naive oak]

Thank you

[outer wadi]

Full life but the honor bar is depleated, so you failed, you need to keep the honor up

[chilly juniper]

Is Jack of all Trades accounted for in the DPS tab?

[haughty niche]

You can check by respecing it

I see no reason why it shouldnt be but idk

[hearty depot]

what causes this

[weak forge]

Hello everyone

So I am much stronger now as a monk as a I got a new weapon but I am now dealing with a new problem

My new weapon is too strong, it leveled up all my melee skills by 3
That means they consume more mana now
So I'm running out of mana more than before

I'm currently now using the marketplace/trade site to get stuff that would help

What stats should I look for ?

Additionally what passives should I look for to deal with the problem ?

[near osprey]

mana regen + more mana, more intligence nodes

[open kernel]

witch element is the best for a ranger ?? i saw people saying lighting and poison

[weak forge]

thanks I was just checking them out I just wanted to make sure

[near osprey]

there's also a "reduced mana cost by 40%" support gem. i think it's red, if it doesn'Mt drop your dps too much to use it

[mental needle]

Lightning is probably the most new player friendly and most widely covered.

[weak forge]

I see I didn't know that. But I'll get that as well

[mental needle]

Gas arrow + blowing it up is also good once you get it

[open kernel]

what about poison

[timid spoke]

whats best support gems for grim feast?

[mental needle]

It's also good, I think people are mostly playing it with the concoction skill from pathfinder rather than the poison skills from bow though.

but I assume bow is fine too, I just don't want to mislead you and tell you how good it is

[chilly geyser]

hey all what gem/rune gives chaos resistance?

[zenith cosmos]

first level 100 has been reached guys!

[near osprey]

in hardcore? otherwise pfff

[open kernel]

im trying things out! ive been playing diablo for a couple of years with necromancer but now i wanted to try something new

[silk apex]

20 exalted orbs for that, is it good?

[chilly geyser]

anyone know what gem/rune gives chaos resistance?

[still turret]

that would be a must have on energy shield build

[azure lava]

I believe chaos res comes from a soul core, not a rune. No idea what it's called tho

Hi, I've entered act 3. Any tips how to farm some ex orbs? I need it for the new eq, it's pretty hard to stay alive with my current eq here.

[shut abyss]

local vendor updates every level!

[still turret]

try a restart of the game and if that doesnt work i got nothing

[pliant locust]

How do you get the fragments?

[zenith cosmos]

gamble for rarity on items found and grind jungle ruins

[lament stone]

life and resistances are all you need on armour for most of the campaign

[waxen valley]

can I get help with the 2nd trial cause the servers are interesting today(for me at least) the game lags and I die to the bosses wind attack I try a different server? nope dont think so

against mobs its fine but bosses i kinda fall over if theres lag

[vast imp]

its the level

[shut abyss]

sure

[still turret]

that sucks i didnt think it was lvl locked lmfao
why would they do that

[waxen valley]

should I add you or you add me?

[primal portal]

how come i cant equip an aura gem ? i have 26 spirit free and i have 16% less reservation nodes

[gleaming mural]

are the trail coins not free anymore?

[arctic silo]

I know, but unfortunately my current gear gives me 52% cold rest, 15% fire, 12% lightning and 0% chaos, so I need to change it.

[lament stone]

just pick up stuff and transmute aug them, or check vendors

[mental needle]

What nodes?

[still turret]

they are only free until the 3rd+ ascend

[mental needle]

the nodes on the tree only work on minions and herald

[gleaming mural]

in total or per character?

[vapid violet]

Per character

[still turret]

per

[haughty niche]

The first 2 trials have quest items for entry.

After that its random drop

[vapid violet]

U can tell the difference as the quest item have green names whereas the normal ones have a goldish color name

[ebon fiber]

hey! I am new, I finished act 3 in campaign
i was wondering what would be the best spot/map/location/boss to grind some orbs/gear/anything good in act 3?

[stark mauve]

there isn't a specific spot to farm orbs.

[shut abyss]

you pretty much struggle forward until the vendor graces you with something decent

[azure lava]

the highest level zone you can comfortably clear. If you feel like you need to grind in the campaign, someone has gone very wrong with your gear, imo. It likely means you haven't been maintaining it or taking the necessary steps to seek upgrades

[stark mauve]

best spot to get gear is the trading website (: better than wasting material.

[ebon fiber]

Oh

so not worth grinding at act 3?

[azure lava]

I mean, it CAN be, but the need to grind at all is a sign of a much larger problem

[ebon fiber]

what about trial of chaos?

[native current]

What gems do you need to get buffs?

[azure lava]

what about it? once you complete it, you lose the key to continue it

[craggy gyro]

sorceress problems in act 2 should I get conductivity or mana tempest

[ebon fiber]

ohhh

[azure lava]

spirit gems are the ones that can be cut into persistsent buff gems

[native current]

Thank you!

[craggy gyro]

I chose which I’m not using minions mainly all elemental like sorceress I’m in act 2 can I respec character class?

[shut abyss]

drop an invite

[azure lava]

depends on your build. You'll find loads of skill gems

[azure lava]

you cannot change your class/ascendancy

[craggy gyro]

I don’t know I picked witch but I’m only using sorceress stuff

[azure lava]

that's fine, all classes can use all skills/gear

[craggy gyro]

Spark etc

[azure lava]

there is no such thing as "sorceress stuff"

[ebon fiber]

thanks, i appreciate it
i get it, not worth grinding if i can still clear mobs
better to just go forward :)
idk why i thought grinding more exhault for perfect gear will be good

[craggy gyro]

The skill tree is setup to benefit based on class I pick

[azure lava]

how so?

[vast imp]

cant use relic altar, not sure why. anyone help?

[craggy gyro]

Since I’m not doing a witch build but I chose witch class it won’t be as optimized but I can get it as good as possible

[azure lava]

It depends on what you want to do with your build

[true flower]

guys, if i wanna get 2 more points for my ascendancy, can i get them from the trail in act 2 ?

[craggy gyro]

The will trees different based on class chosen since I chose witch I have to put a skill point to boost minions and spell damage and I don’t use them

[hardy chasm]

Does this mean it has 89 evasion + 20% more, or is the 20% more already added to make up the 89

[azure lava]

if you really want another ascendancy or if you could make a better tree with another class, sure.

[stark mauve]

its added up already

[azure lava]

you don't have to put points into those

you can go out the ES side and take attributes

[hardy chasm]

thanks

[true flower]

hey byron

[static gull]

what do people mean by t18 maps? The highest I’ve found is 15

[azure lava]

#2┃after-acts-help

[stark mauve]

yep thats why the 89 is blue(: cause thats 20 percent

[true flower]

i really took notice of ur tips and im alot better now

[true flower]

i finally deal damage

[true flower]

whats the site called

[azure lava]

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

[stark mauve]

i deal 3k damage on one attack but i'm struggling on how to get damage on my others lol I'm dyslexic haha

[true flower]

im the other way around, i clear waves in miliseconds

but struggle with bosses

im crossbow lightning

[azure lava]

if you have a build already planned out and you just accidentally picked witch instead of sorceress, then the best play might be to make a new character. But if you feel you need to reroll because you want to do "sorc stuff", then:

1. Define "sorc stuff"
2. Check the witch ascendancies and see if anything in there can also be used to make a strong build with the skills/playstyle you want

[gleaming mural]

do you know where to get them?

[gloomy blaze]

Does someone have 2 lvl 19 spirit/skill gems i can use please?

hello guys i got a utility normal belt i wanted to use orb of luck on it but it says i can't anyone knows why ?

[azure lava]

it doesn't have a unique version, and you mean orb of chance*

[amber island]

when should i do my first ascendancy and is it the same as poe 1?

[uneven bay]

uhm how do i use weapon set skill points, i cant seem to assign them to anything?

[chilly geyser]

Hey all can you put runes in boots and belt?

[azure lava]

you need unspent points to allocate them. hover over the i in the top right of the passive tree

[azure lava]

boots yes, belt no

[stark mauve]

its kinda confusing lol

[open bay]

oh yeah mb orb of chance but there is the unique version the one wich gives more % on rings

[azure lava]

I think that's a boss-only unique. you cannot chance those

[uneven bay]

that doesnt actually let me do anything, i must be bugged or something, i have six

[chilly geyser]

@azure lava You are awesome always giving me asnwers thank you so much for being a bright light in this community

[azure lava]

screenshot?

[still turret]

you can do them whenever tbh the first 2 point 1-4 should be done soon though

[uneven bay]

I restarted but it said i was assigning them at the top

yellow text

[azure lava]

my advice is to not touch weapon set points at all unless you know what you want to do with them. Using them just for the sake of using them will likely make your life harder and your build worse

[stark mauve]

nah you just need a skill point to use them.

[lusty hinge]

wait for a discount, at that point see what stuff takes a lot of space in your stash and buy that tab I guess, but it's entirely up to you

[azure lava]

it says that even if you have no skill points to allocate

[uneven bay]

ohhh thOhhh that makes sense

[inland sentinel]

You can try to do your first ascendancy right when you first finish the ascent to power quest

[still turret]

still sad no map tab
i need it

[subtle spindle]

Where I can check different builds

[rough birch]

Which currency should I absolutely not touch/spend while going through the acts?

[inland sentinel]

However, it is sanctum so you have to play exactly like that and kill the boss at the final room

[still turret]

vaal orbs

you should be fine with the base tabs until you start to get to like 60
as long as your not trading anyways

[azure lava]

weapon set points aren't extra free points, btw. If you have 30 points spent on your tree, and you see you have 10 weapon set points, that doesn't mean you could be using 40 points. It means that, instead of 30 main points, 0 set 1 points, and 0 set 2 points, you could be allocating them like:
20-10-10, 25-5-5, etc

[inland sentinel]

Vaal, ex, chance

[rough birch]

How about the ones that turn normal items into rare?

Idk what vaal is ngl

Don't think I got one yet

[inland sentinel]

It corrupts items unpredictably changing them

[azure lava]

divine orbs

[inland sentinel]

They cannot be further modified after that

Yeah divines

[still turret]

regals arent to bad
just use them sparingly and not before about 40

[inland sentinel]

Regals can be disenchanted from rares

They’re quite common

[azure lava]

I exalted several items in the campaign and had a whale of a time. But I don't trade, so probably not worth it for most people

[inland sentinel]

Well if you’re in ssf you use whatever you can

[true flower]

does the coin from balbala, the traitor drop every time?

[still turret]

it really wont matter once you get into end game

[inland sentinel]

But if you’re in softcore trade you need to save exalts and divines

[still turret]

oh your good then
maybe a currency tab and a essence tab when they go on sale

[inland sentinel]

They’re your main trading currencies

[delicate solar]

@shut abyss sent

[inland sentinel]

Alchemy’s are kind of bad in Poe 2

[true flower]

does the coin from balbala, the traitor drop every time?

[inland sentinel]

You’re forced to incorporate regals in your crafting steps

[azure lava]

only in normal

[still turret]

also not a bad choice but you can set a normal tab into a sudo gems tab until then
wait for sale 100% tho

[stark mauve]

everyone that plays this game must have a gambling addiction lol jk jk

no theres no jk
its a main facet of the game

[still turret]

I NEED IT

[inland sentinel]

3rd and 4th are rng

[true flower]

okay

[inland sentinel]

You need different sets of coins and ultimatums

And item level matter

And number of rooms + waves

[stark mauve]

so if i want to increase damage on the fire wall, i need to add fire damage on my weapon?? and what else

[rough birch]

Meant this one

[still turret]

could role a bonus to fire spells on the weapon

[azure lava]

adding fire damage to your weapon won't help. Getting %increased fire damage, spell damage, or +level of fire gems will help

[still turret]

i like to use them on maps
pretty nice to have then

[haughty niche]

Ye alchs are for maps for me

[still turret]

also if you use these on anything that isnt a map make sure the base your using it on is rolled at least high if not perfect

[golden bay]

guys is there a keybind to toggle quests on and off or something? all my quests dissapeared on my right side of my screen

[blazing cliff]

Is it normal for maps to disappear, like i got all the checkpoints and then came back and its all gone

[still turret]

if there is i also want to know

[still turret]

yep
maps reset when not in use for a bit

makes waypoints important

[arctic silo]

I've got 2 ex orbs and I want to upgrade my gear in act 3. What should I focus on here? I'm playing monk. I've got 70% cold res, the other are low, 15% fire, 18% lightning and 0% chaos. My high cold res is mainly from 2 rings.

[haughty niche]

After 7-15 minutes of inactivity

[rough birch]

I'm lv23 I doubt I'm anywhere near maps

[still turret]

true
again once you start getting up there and to maps about tier 6 to be precise currency gets way easier

[haughty niche]

Weapon will be the biggest upgrade.
Otherwise just some res gear or movement speed boots

[dull copper]

is it worth just buying a waystone tab, or are we likely to get the map tab converted for Waystones?

[uncut wharf]

I just got a new staff which one is better?

[haughty niche]

Map should function as one

Theres no waystone tab

[shrewd hazel]

wait if something says advanced does that mean its like a tier 2 version of the same item?

[tacit knot]

Is it possible to make boneblast shoot its projectiles in a more narrow way? With smaller opponents only 1/3 of the projectiles hit

[still turret]

left

[azure lava]

what skill do you use?

[dull copper]

mm, I have a map tab in 1, but its not carried over

[uncut wharf]

Storm wave and charged staff

[near osprey]

if you in your skill tab, when you equip the new staff you will see how your dps change

[arctic silo]

My current weapon has 151 phys dmg, the best one on poetrade has 170dmg, so it's not a big upgrade I think since I'm using mainly Storm Wave.

[still turret]

def left
that plus 3 to melee is huge

[uncut wharf]

Although I am a crit build

[still turret]

yea but you get your crit from jewels for the most part
its nice but the plus 3 to melee i think is worth more

[uncut wharf]

Going to be such a pain to find a upgrade thought I had one lol

[azure lava]

left one is better, if only barely. They have almost the same total dps, but the left one has +3 to melee skills and more %ele on it. The right one is way faster and has higher crit

[shrewd hazel]

anyone know?

[still turret]

prob wont get one till the 70s lvl gear starts dropping

[azure lava]

no, a tier 2 item is different. Advanced is just a placeholder for the base item that isn't released yet, I think

[dark talon]

Fast Forward support gem claims a supported skill has 30% less skill effect duration. What does that actually mean? The skill runs 30% less with no benefits at all?

[shrewd hazel]

OHH thats smart af

[azure lava]

Advanced and expert items are the same type of item, just with better base stats

idk if they're actually placeholders or not, but that's what they are in my head

[shrewd hazel]

so eventually there will be a different name insterad?

[still turret]

some skills want less time up
its niche but useful

[shrewd hazel]

oh

[tacit knot]

Is it possible to make boneblast shoot its projectiles in a more narrow way? With smaller opponents only 1/3 of the projectiles hit

[rough birch]

I have a very particular question

[shrewd hazel]

i hope it is a placeholder. cause i like seeing new shit. super addicting

[azure lava]

not sure, but I saw that advanced items started showing up in cruel difficulty and expert ones in endgame

[sinful ivy]

Can i use 10 skill gem?

I want to remove quarterstaff strike?

[azure lava]

if you have an unset ring or the gemling node

[still turret]

you need a type of ring that gives you more slots

[shrewd hazel]

yea i just beat that viper chick and im seeing a fuck ton advanced now. Idk how far that viper boss is in the game tho

[azure lava]

no, only 9 gems by default. The ones for your weapon/ascendancy skills don't count against your limit

[rough birch]

Is equipping the sceptre with +2 minion skill levels worth it over the other one, even if it makes me lose one of my skeleton arsonists?

[dark talon]

Give me an example

[still turret]

lightning orb
it does more dmg faster because its not out for as long
the total dmg remains unchanged but the time its out does

[rough birch]

+2 levels on all minion skills is worth losing a singular arsonist, I guess?

[dark talon]

Does Ember Fusillade skill gem trigger Raging Spirits per cast or per fire sequence?
I wonder if that would benefit

[dark talon]

Aaah thanks

[azure lava]

with fast forward:
-grenades have shorter fuses
-stormcaller arrow has a shorter delay between impact and the lightning bolt
-time of need has less time between bursts of healing and debuff removal

[azure lava]

what is "lightning orb"? that's not the name of any skill in poe2

[dark talon]

How does support gem work for minions?
Will the minion get the benefit or does my cast of the minion (like spawning them) get the benefit?

[still turret]

idk its a ball of lightning that doesnt move

[azure lava]

orb of storms?

[muted heron]

How can i get more spirit?? I just tried to farm a boss for the chrystal skull in act 1 but he didn't drop it when i killed him the second time. Any other way to farm spirit??

[still turret]

potentially
i didnt use it long

[azure lava]

100 base from the campaign bosses/sidequests.
Scepters
Mods on chest pieces/amulets
Implicit mod on solar amulets
Unique items
That one infernalist node that reserves life and grants spirit based on life

[azure lava]

?

[muted heron]

Thank you

[still turret]

yea

[pulsar dune]

When you look at weapons on the trade site, they show a total Elemental and Physical DPS and etc. Is there anywhere in game that shows that information for comparisson? The skills have DPS but only the total one, I can't fidn a place to show the DPS like the trade site does

[azure lava]

@dark talon Demonicdragon is incorrect about orb of storms benefitting from fast forward. it does not compress the damage into a shorter window. a lower duration on orb of storms is purely detrimental

[still turret]

now that im reading it yea
it was a part of a build i was using that i didnt like

[dark talon]

Thanks for getting to me. How about Ember Fusillade?

It was under "recommended" when you click on a gem and check whats available under it.

How does support gem work for minions?
Will the minion get the benefit or does my cast of the minion (like spawning them) get the benefit?

[mental needle]

Fast forward is good on fusillade, gives you more uptime because they sit above your head for a shorter duration

[subtle spindle]

What class i should pick if i want play Falling Thunder Invoker

[mental needle]

Monk

[subtle spindle]

is it monk ?

[still turret]

invoker is monk

[azure lava]

fast forward will lower the hover duration and make them fire sooner

[subtle spindle]

Okey thx bro

[dark talon]

So that's a benefit

[dark talon]

But I also don't know how it works. Do I spam cast it to accumulate so they fire, or do I trigger it once and it will fire every X seconds, and then after the duration is over, I trigger it again?

Also how does Ember Fusillade trigger with. Raging Spirits does each cast trigger it, or does each "fire" do it?

[mental needle]

They fire all at once

and each bolt gives a raging spirit

[dark talon]

ah perfect, thanks

[mental needle]

fusillade gets benefits the more bolts it fires at once

so you want to stack up to the cap

let it shoot

then stack again

so fast forward lowers the time waiting between

[dark talon]

so it's a little bit of baby sitting, thanks

[half fractal]

why is this guys staff glowing?

[azure lava]

it triggers each time you cast it, not when it fires

[dark talon]

That's the opposite of what @mental needle said unless I misunderstood

[azure lava]

it triggers raging spirits

every time you cast

nope, I'm wrong

[dark talon]

Thank you!

I appreciate it. Both of you.

[craggy gyro]

If you’re looking to do extreme damage fast and quick not much of a challenge to beat the game where should I go?

[dark talon]

Will the minion get the benefit or does my cast of the minion (like spawning them) get the benefit?
I am bit confused over support gems when it comes to minions.

And do my minion "cast" their attack or what?

[mental needle]

They're cooler than u

[mental needle]

(weapon effect mtx)

[azure lava]

yellow text is very important on skills

[craggy gyro]

Ive been looking at monk, warrior, or mercenary, but im waiting to choose bc ill be using it for entire game

[golden bay]

guys what should i use

[mental needle]

Of those three, monk, easily.

but you should play what you enjoy, if you don't know what you're doing game prob won't be a cakewalk anyways

[craggy gyro]

Well I’d choose any class but I’ve been struggling to do damage in act 2 witch/sorceress

I think I’d enjoy any class but I’d prefer easiest

[rough birch]

Which items can get +X level minion skills? Just the weapon slots?

[azure lava]

They both have reisists and no life, so I'd probably pick the one on the right

[golden bay]

the pathfinder cloak?

[azure lava]

helmets can as well

[lament stone]

and helmet, and amulet should be able to too (?)

[azure lava]

that'd be my vote, yeah

[mental needle]

Monk does the most damage with the least investment early/midgame. In my experience Warrior rolled over the campaign too, but people like to complain about that class so maybe I'm in the minority

[hybrid ether]

anyone have a janmarana suggestions? that boss is full of bullshit

[weak forge]

I'm very close to becoming the storm itself

You can say I am the storm that is approaching

[shrewd hazel]

i still dont even understand waht evasion does. when i get hit it never misses it always hits. so im confused

[hazy elk]

Anyone knows good spot to farm low level Spirit Gems?

[azure lava]

hover over it and hold alt to read any keywords you have questions on.

[mental needle]

you just don't notice the things that miss you lol

[shrewd hazel]

true xD

[fading yoke]

Ignaduk after cruel act 3 clear shows as unkilled, just got back there and killed her again to be sure. Does she respawn or something?

[azure lava]

it's bugged and shows as incomplete even after you finish her and get the reward

[mental needle]

If you got the spirit it's just a visual bug, no need to worry

[dark talon]

That's not answering my question

[craggy gyro]

So we get access to the full entire game already if we beat cruel?

I heard that somewhere

[lament stone]

the endgame

[dark talon]

My skeleton minions or my minions spawned by zombies or using Unearth will they gain the support gem?
or my skeleton minions gems, do they gain support gems?

Evasion?

[azure lava]

wrong reply, sorry

[craggy gyro]

Yeah second half of game

[lament stone]

act 4-6 arent released yet, cruel act 1-3 are a placeholder

[mental needle]

Yes, that's why they have sockets

[dark vapor]

hey, can someone help me kill this mighty silverfist real quick

[mental needle]

for example you could put scattershot on skeletal archers andthey would shoot 3 projectiles instead of 1

[azure lava]

it says that the spirits "attack"
I was answering the last line of your message

[fading yoke]

dm me game name, I'll join no problem

[flint spade]

Thoughts on gemling legionair. I might make one

[rough birch]

I suppose these shoes are my only way of being faster?

[dark vapor]

sent

[azure lava]

they're certainly the easiest way to get 15% increased movement speed that I can think of

[burnt junco]

no

[mental needle]

There are a few nodes on the tree, and a couple other things

but as a witch the boots are basically all ya' got

[real gust]

i teleported out of the room of the last boss of the campaign to sell loot before picking up the drops and now i can't get back because when i try to go through the portal again to get to my personal portal it immediately sends me to the beach to restart the campaign... any idea how i can get back in there to pick up the drops?

[jade wadi]

its gone bro

nothing u can do about it

[real gust]

[jade wadi]

been there

[real gust]

at least there were no orange drops

[jade wadi]

mine was orange bro

[real gust]

my condolences

[muted heron]

So i'm trying to beat the Titan boss. I'm playing ranger and my shots arent going any where near the boss. If i get close to him i don't even face him when i'm shooting. Is this normal??

[half fractal]

how do i remove ?

[lament stone]

if you read all the text on the rune youd know that they cant be removed

[limber thicket]

while I realize I'm likely not getting anything particularly good here, does anyone have any insight on which of these chests to open and why? 1 gold key

[half fractal]

oh

[azure lava]

time-lost is unique item, I think
mysterious is random
hoarder is currency, I wanna say

[lament stone]

time lost is for jewels with radius

some of the effects can be really good

[limber thicket]

I did test hoarder on a bronze key and it was gold so that makes sense. Kind of wondering if "superior" is relevant when making a choice

[mental needle]

Holy moly

open the time lost

that's the best chest by far lol

[lament stone]

and this is the only place you can get time lost jewels

[limber thicket]

ok good to know

[azure lava]

prime > superior, that's all I know

[tacit knot]

Can a spaek projectile hit an enemy multiple times

If so why doesnt the gem say it

[mental needle]

Typically for sekhema you're there for jewels. So the royal chests and time-lost chests are your bread and butter.

[limber thicket]

ty for the help folks

[dark talon]

I am a bit confused if an item has

150 spirit
and
56% increased spirit

What does that mean?

Does that mean I will get 150 spirit and then it will do <current_spirit> * 1.56?
Or does that mean that the item had X spirit and got 56% increased up to 150 spirit?

[azure lava]

is this a scepter? if so, the % spirit is already built in to the number at the top

[worthy junco]

guys, how i get greater essence?

[dark talon]

Ah so it's the latter?
I just get a flat 150 spirit?

[azure lava]

ask in #2┃after-acts-help

[worthy junco]

oh, sure

sorry

[shut parcel]

does anyone know why i cant use the orb of chance on an utility belt?

[eager basin]

is it white

[shut parcel]

yes

[eager basin]

wtf is a utility belt

[azure lava]

you cannot chance uniques from bosses

[shut parcel]

ohhhh, thats the reason

[heady panther]

For evoker, does unbound avatar get easier to keep on after acts? I tried using it but it took half the map to activate it and I could barely use it, I've changed my build a lot since then but I wonder if it's still worth.
I'm a power charge lightning/shock build (gathering storm + falling thunder for AOE, tempest flurry + bell for single target, and also charged staff + siphoning strike)
I wonder if I have to apply multiple ailments to use it

[cold oxide]

I have a lvl 33 sorc and I have zero spirit. How do I get spirit?

[heady panther]

there is a amulet base for spirit

I can give you one
