[topaz junco]

Yes

[dark talon]

But When the 10 raging spirit limit is reached, then what?

[ebon moss]

Yes, there's been a few hotfixes and updates so far

[topaz junco]

They’ll die quickly

[exotic sierra]

that's the whole point of early access lol

[cold cargo]

thank u

[cold cargo]

i mean i thought they just do it rarely

[topaz junco]

Or you can give them infernal legion and minion instability so they’ll die and explode and you can keep summoning them

[dark talon]

Even so, the dmg output is much lower, a timed killing bosses - the guy in the middle on act 2 that slams his head took waaaa waaay longer with my witch vs mercenary.
I suspect fire resistance, but even so.

[ebon moss]

Patch notes here. They're up to version 0.1.0e. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-forum/2212

[cold cargo]

thank u

[topaz junco]

I’m not really familiar with a list of guides for poe2 especially this early in

[dark talon]

The uptime on minions is low. I was hoping to get like a filler spammable spell that does dmg. Essence Drain is a dot and contagion is a dot and the uptime on them is hard to juggle, so I wanted to focus on one.

Is Ember Fusillade good for that?

Still fire though..

[exotic sierra]

they'll get onto a regular schedule after the full release next year or so. early access is meant to be a turbulent time where they do what they can to balance the game based on the feedback they get from the players as they get it.

[topaz junco]

Means you need to focus on your minions more

[dark talon]

Focus how? I've used all the talents I can use to increase survability for them with health and revive rate.

My current problem is clearing trash mobs is a lot stronger with Witch but I am struggling like crazy with single target bosses.
Especially is if they are fire resistance.

[ebon moss]

Are you using Skeleton Arsonists? You just keep up the Flame Walls so that their attacks are increased in damage by throwing through the Flame Wall. Which also summons your Raging Spirits. Keep up Flammability on bosses and rares. Run around to avoid getting one shot. Although it can be harder to see the boss attacks with Flame Walls and minions.

[dark talon]

Flamambility, should I get that instead of essence drain?
What support skill gems do I use on it?

[topaz junco]

And therein lies the issue no? If you went for their survival. How much did you go for their damage

[ebon moss]

The only problem is that you move slower while channeling it, which isn't great for bosses.

[cold cargo]

i see thank u very much, just thought they give free access and not touch it since its the planned to be players be playing only, and fix everything before it gets fully released, tho good to know it gets update regularly

[topaz junco]

Yea that’s not much

[dark talon]

Does FireWall really help with skeleton arsonists?

[topaz junco]

Yes

[dark talon]

But my problem is now, not later.

I can't help with the limited passives I have, lol.
I have taken as much dmg and surv I can

[topaz junco]

Means you have to cut points elsewhere

[dark talon]

I am gonna try this, thank you.

[topaz junco]

Wait how were you summoning raging spirts if not via flame wall

[dark talon]

I was.

But they were doing almost no dmg on the boss compared to merecenary

[ebon moss]

Pick from things like: Heightened Curse, increased curse effect; Focused Curse, goes off faster; Ritualistic Curse, goes of slower but in a larger area; Hex Bloom, curse spreads to nearby enemies when a cursed enemy dies - good for clearing.

[dark talon]

I think the fire resistance stuff was the issue. But Flamambility supposed to help with that I guess.

[dark talon]

The last one is useless for this problem. My problem is single target.

But thanks for the tips.

Can I have 2x Persistance on differenet spells?

[ebon moss]

No

It only lets you have one of each support gem

You can have two of the same skill gems equipped though, if you remove the equipped skill gem, then engrave a new one.

[dark talon]

That's good for contagion that spreads vs contagion that lasts longer but with a CD, thank you.

[mellow echo]

where can i find realm maintenace related details in general?

[ebon moss]

Like the patch notes?

[mellow echo]

it says singapore realm is down for maintenance
want to know when it will be back up

[exotic sierra]

if it just went down, probly in 10 mins

[ebon moss]

Hmm, I don't know if they list that. Sometimes they post on Twitter/X that there's a planned update. Or sometimes the website will list the maintenance.

But even if they say, 15 minutes maintenance in game before it shuts down, sometimes it takes longer.

[exotic sierra]

for a better time frame, you'll need to check social media or maybe the forums to see if they posted what the downtime will be

[dark talon]

I can't get Focused Curse until I get next level support gems (right?) - so I should go with Heightened Curse and Persistence for 40% more time?

[mellow echo]

ok, than you 🙂

[ebon moss]

Sure you can do that. I personally put Persistence on the Pain Offering skill gem. But you can do your supports however you want.

[exotic sierra]

not sure if singapore has a different social media team, I know the game is managed differently in china.

[vital maple]

How many weapon set points can I have?

[amber oak]

Anyone want to join my playthrough bout to start act 2 dm im monk

[dark talon]

Duuuuuude Flammability takes 90% of my mana, lol

[ebon moss]

Take off some of the supports to lower then cost then. But you only need to re-cast it either when it's about to expire on the boss or has expired.

[dark talon]

Support gems increase mana cost?

[exotic sierra]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714168576249887

[ebon moss]

Yes, look in the upper left under their name.

[dark talon]

It's because I have a gear that makes it so intelligence doesn't contribute to mana, but I got a fuck ton of mana regen, but still.. haha. I guess the Persistence one can go away

[ebon moss]

For example Heightened Curse is 140% cost multiplier. Focused Curse 120%, etc.

[dark talon]

Goood damn.

Is that stacked or does it pick the highest one?

[ebon moss]

Some don't have a cost multiplier, but may have another negative affect. Example Ritualistic Curse doesn't have a cost multiplier but it makes the Curse take longer to go off to give the increased area.

[ebon moss]

Yeah the cost keeps keeps going up as you add more supports with a cost multiplier

Part of it is just that Curses cost a lot of mana to begin with

[exotic sierra]

my monk keeps getting rekt on the way to bosses ☹️

I'll have trouble getting thru the area then manage to decimate them boss

[mint spruce]

Hello all, I am planning to start a character in Frankfurt server, anyone interested in playing due with me?

[topaz junco]

#2┃looking-for-group

[mint spruce]

thank you, apologies

[shut abyss]

also frankfurt is a gateway, server yes but we're all on the same server if that makes sense

[timber fjord]

ok still alive in hc time to take break see ya guys

[tiny bluff]

when will the game be free?

[exotic sierra]

next year or so

[shut abyss]

technically it already is

[exotic sierra]

no it isn't

[tiny bluff]

what do you mean by this

[burnt junco]

what

[dark talon]

Ah flammability sucked, aaah.

[shut abyss]

well, it's not released, you just get beta access if you buy a support pack so kiiiiiind of

[exotic sierra]

none of that logic works

[true flower]

im mercenary crossbow and i struggle a bit with bosses, should i go for bow or for staff as my second class? whats better for bosses ( also has to fit in my lightning crossbow build )

[ebon moss]

For the $30 you spend on the access they do give you $30 worth of MTX points. So if you do want to pick up the early access, you'll be able to use that money to buy some stash tabs (wait until they're on sale again) or cosmetic items.

[shut abyss]

oh yeah there's that too but yes i agree with if you pay it's not free whatever

[ebon moss]

Yeah, definitely not free

[tiny bluff]

should i do that or just grind in poe1 till the game releases for free

[ebon moss]

Up to you! There's currently 3 campaign acts you can play through. Then they repeat again as the next 3 haven't been completed yet. Then you get into the end game.

[exotic sierra]

it's also much harder than poe1 and the knowledge base is alot less established

[ebon moss]

There's still a lot of other stuff not put in yet. Like half of the classes and a ton of gems.

[exotic sierra]

so it would be easier to get into poe1 for now

[ebon moss]

I enjoyed the PoE 2 Campaign. But yeah it is harder than PoE 1

[untold ferry]

Anyone got an uncut spirit 8?

[true flower]

i have never played arpgs, but this game made me fall in love, its definetly worth it

[untold ferry]

Desperately need

[true flower]

and to keep things real the 30$ you spend on the game, with the additional 300 coins it gives you i think is a fair deal

since most of the plaeyrs end up spending money to buy stash tabs or cosmetics

you basically buy the coins and the game, rather than getting the game for free 6 months later and spending money on coins

[cursive knoll]

I just unlocked maps, but when I go to the map device its just blank. How do I use this and th waystones?

[true flower]

so yea buy the game

[vernal tundra]

Hi new to POE so just beat it on Casual mode so just to get it straight I just play through it again now on cruel?

[cursive knoll]

Yes

[vernal tundra]

Okay just want to make sure I'm not missing anything

And can someone explain Maps and stuff lol seems so overwhelming

[shut abyss]

They decided to cut rest of the acts in favor of endgame so for now we do 3 acts twice

[cursive knoll]

I just unlocked maps myself, trying to figure out how to use the map device

[tiny bluff]

okay thanks

[shut abyss]

put a waystone in it and hop in!

[cursive knoll]

i dont see where to place the waystone tho

[alpine flicker]

Why do all the keystones suck a gargantuan mega tonne of ass?

Eldritch battery doesn't stack with %ES modifiers, so ur just gimping your ES.

Zealots Oath doesn't work with ES max% for % life regen, and there is almost no way to increase max hp.

Eternal youth is just pretty garbage tbh, and apparently doesn't even work with Zealots.

Heartstopper literally just seems like kill yourself faster.

Acrobatics kill ur evasion rate, Bulwark has Iframes so you're literally just trading 100% dr for 30% dr, I know aoes, but cmon.

Unwavering 200% stun threshhold for being unable to dodge....?

[cursive knoll]

its just a gray map

[foggy birch]

holyyy shittt

chill with the text

[alpine flicker]

?

[shut abyss]

click the map device itself and put it there

[ebon moss]

Click on an area, the colored circles. It brings up a little box, put the map into that.

[alpine flicker]

It's a couple of lines, get a grip.

[foggy birch]

it covers half of the chat

ur not that special pal

trust me

[cursive knoll]

oooh, had to zoom out all the way and it loaded the map

thanks

[shut abyss]

You need to vent your problems elsewhere

[vernal tundra]

Does anyone know if they plan on making the game steam deck verified?

[alpine flicker]

I know it's not the 3 letters you're used to each text, but it's nothing.

"not that special pal"? Wtf are u even talking about.

You act like I just wrote a 50 page essay, seriously, you're sick in the head if you think anything more than 10 words is some kind of terror to society.

It's a paragraph, stop being terminally online.

[stark lynx]

Neither are you nor your trials and tribulations on ascending

[cursive knoll]

@alpine flicker take your build gripes to a build chat, not campaign help

[exotic sierra]

they might, but that will come after full release more than likely

[alpine flicker]

was really just new player

[stark lynx]

Point of keystones is to be a trade off, how you make em worth it. Is up to you

[alpine flicker]

but there is no "general" really so

[foggy birch]

it was for the laughs mate

chill out

[stark lynx]

Eb literally gives a ton of mana if arent scaling es and use int gear

[vernal tundra]

Ahhh okay I have a 14 month old baby and being able to play where she is would make life so much easier

[alpine flicker]

No it wasn't, you're just an idiot.

[foggy birch]

mf comes in here with a essay

[cursive knoll]

and then shits on everyone because we arent sympathetic to his gripes

[foggy birch]

what i said to u was not for the laugh, i meant it with my heart

[stark lynx]

Isnt poe 2 available on steam deck?

[alpine flicker]

You're just backpeddalling because someone else called you out.

[stark lynx]

And cant say Ive seen ppl complaining how it runs

[cursive knoll]

Blocked, dont need that dork's negativity

[foggy birch]

u dont even know the context

[alpine flicker]

you call that an essay because you've never written anything deep in your entire life.

That wasn't an essay or anything complicated what I said.

[shut abyss]

i know you're being mean here for no reason and it's not the first time, go do it somewhere else.

[alpine flicker]

There is no context you fool, it was in response to your response to me.

[stark lynx]

Topic over about essays, drop it and move on.

[foggy birch]

ahahahah

[alpine flicker]

Do you just copy what you hear debate bros say online?

oh forget you, waste of my time.

[foggy birch]

sherlock holmes

seduce me with ur smart brain

[exotic sierra]

Terror, Azzab, and Moppari drop it and move on

[storm patio]

Is there a quality increase item for quivers?

[exotic sierra]

don't think there's anything for quality to increase on quivers, unless they make catalysts work for them at some point

[ruby temple]

Hello there, what happens when i took the wrong sprit skill gems early? Can i get the skills any other way?

[exotic sierra]

but for now, no

[stark lynx]

They are random drops from enemies

[exotic sierra]

you also get plenty of uncut skill gems from quests

[stark lynx]

Or you can mule characters for the quest rewards if its very early

[ruby temple]

What about spirit skill gems?

[stark lynx]

Good luck

[exotic sierra]

yep, those are random drops too

[ebon moss]

Same, random drops or you get some as quest rewards later

[ruby temple]

Alright thanks a lot
Also im a witch and im wondering why i cant summon skeletal snipers although i skilled it?

[golden fog]

Hi guyz, what is "mana recovery rate"? It's the mana regen rate from potion?

[stark lynx]

Any form of over time mana sustain

Essentially a more multiplier

[jaunty shore]

Hi, does anyone know why my armour breaker skill does not apply chill? I am using the cold infusion gem on it and I can see that it does cold damage because I get freeze build up but no chill.

[golden fog]

It didn't change my "mana recovery per second" on my sheet

[jaunty shore]

i am using demolisher (more armour break), armour explosion and heavy swing supports as well

[stark lynx]

it probably should

[warm compass]

am i doing something wrong with this grenade merc as i level up? feels so slow and clunky, between the time it takes to drop grenades, reload xbow etc, just feels extermely clunky

[mellow echo]

how i bring up gem pages? (the page that we get when we right click a gem)

i mean whats the shortcut

[shut abyss]

there's no other way than the gem

[marble wing]

Each gear I can get spirit?

[mellow echo]

that sucks

[shut abyss]

imo every class feels mroe or less clunky sub say 50? levels

[warm compass]

also gas grenade does like no damage, dont understand why it wcommeconed

[mellow echo]

where/how do i get unbound avatar

[stark lynx]

Dont you just plode em with fire dmg

[warm compass]

yeah just using explosive grenade now but wondering why gas is recommended, maybe its a lategame skill and pointless early

[mellow echo]

also whats the reccomended level for the 1st trial?

[shut abyss]

first one is free and unlimited so you can go try how it goes, some ranged options like glacial is recommended

[mellow echo]

oh, but the token says only 1 trial is allowed

good to know

will give it a try

[shut abyss]

the very first one you get you get a new one from her

[daring hedge]

[exotic sierra]

yes

[autumn bramble]

hello could someone give me some advice or tell me whats going on with something on my witch

[humble bolt]

why tho, if im evading the attacks anyway

[clever geode]

bro just ask

[exotic sierra]

evasion hard caps at 90%, and even then you will get hit alot

[clever geode]

u dont eva 100% of the time

so if u get hit with no res

ded

[humble bolt]

but if i got no armor anyway ill be ded anyway

[main flicker]

its useless dont bother

[humble bolt]

no matter the res

[ruby temple]

Ty!!

[exotic sierra]

if you have no res you won't even be able to survive a white mob

[shell jetty]

how much accuracy do i need late game as melee? is 2000 (shows 100%) enough to hit every boss late game?

[clever geode]

nvm he want to gamble on every hit he takes

[arctic silo]

Is first Trial of Chaos hard?

[exotic sierra]

yes

[autumn bramble]

So I got a new sceptre but when I put it on all my skills go off and saying I need 133 int but I have 147 could someone tell me if I’m missing something I’m still new ish to this game

[dark talon]

I got a lvl 9 skill gem as a SRS Witch going a minion build but I have a lot of gear and talent that helps with spell dmg, however I got low mana (also because of gear).

My issue is single target boss dmg.
I used the Flammability curse but it drains 60% of my mana.

Not sure what to pick for my lvl 9 skill gem.
Should I pick Fireball and spam it?
or Skeleton Reavers?
or Dark Effigy?

[clever geode]

the one you wear has int

so taking it off will drop it

[dark talon]

Wow that Sceptre is amaziiing

[candid slate]

yo guys i wanna ask, is it okay to play poe2 on console like ps5 pro? i mean when i played poe1 back in day on PC, i needed so many outer programs for everything(selling/buying items, dmg calc, itemization programs etc) so i dont know how is game changed now?

[autumn bramble]

even when i take it off i have 147 int

[rough birch]

This refund cost seems to be getting out of hand

[candid slate]

so if u can make serious character even on console or its just for casual stuff

[autumn bramble]

why thank you

[clever geode]

take it off and show me the 2nd scepter again

[wooden thorn]

you need to finish the quest at freythorn to receive a green skull quest item. right click the skull and turn into uncut buff gem. after which, you have to right click the gem once more and take the raging spirits skill option on sorcerer's skill tab

[clever geode]

did u set srs to slot 2 ?

[autumn bramble]

?

[clever geode]

can u show stats and inventory at the same time?

[autumn bramble]

idk how to on console

[dark talon]

Is it worth getting Skeleton Reavers as a SRS Minion Witch?
Or should I get Dark Effigy?
Or should I get Fireball?

[clever geode]

u dont have this screen?

[autumn bramble]

yeah got that screen just looked im missing two int ahah my bad the passive screen was lying to me

[ebon moss]

Reavers are good, especially on Bosses. Not as good on clear. But a big problem with the melee minions is that they can get stuck in tight passages or doorways where only 1 or 2 of them are attacking. Not as much of an issue on bosses where there's usually an arena with some space.

[dark talon]

I am currently struggling with bosses and single target dmg.
Regarding "clears" that's pretty much a solved problems with arsonists and SRS, so I never have an issue there.

Thanks.

[autumn bramble]

how does one put a item on trading website

[dark talon]

Is Fireball a better substitute to walls for bosses?

[clever geode]

wall?

[ebon moss]

You want Fire Wall to summon Raging Spirits, if you're using those.

[autumn bramble]

what they said

[edgy timber]

what should i focus on to survive more

[clever geode]

srs get 5 summon if u use firewall

[clever geode]

life

and res

but i think you are good for leveling rn

[autumn bramble]

could go with pain offering and flammanitly to melt bosses

[dark ridge]

Sun Clan Relic wont drop for me 😭

random?

[autumn bramble]

yeah

[clever geode]

random

in a zone

[subtle snow]

does anyone know if snipe ability is affected by attack spead meaning ifi get more attack speed does the channel happen faster ?

[dark ridge]

oo got it lol

[ebon moss]

Put the item into a Premium Stash Tab. Set the tab to Public. Set the pricing type of the tab, you can either 1) set a blanket of something like 1 EX for anything in the tab or 2) you can set the tab to have individual pricing and then you set each item's price.

[dark talon]

What is the "Max Life" of a Raging Spirit is it worth having to explode when it dies or should I put it on Unearth or Skeleton Reavers?

[clever geode]

i think u can check in the skill stats

not sure

[autumn bramble]

do i need to buy a premiun stash tab?

[clever geode]

yes

[subtle snow]

says 140% of base hten it should

[clever geode]

if u want to sell in stash

[ebon moss]

Unfortunately the extra info for SRS doesn't tell us anything. But if you wanted to use something like Infernal Legion with Minion Instability, they will explode - as long as you don't have minion resistance passives.

[stone narwhal]

Hi all, can anyone help with a campaing boss?plz

[ebon moss]

If you don't have any premium tabs, yes. If you had some from PoE1 that got moved over, you can use one of those.

[autumn bramble]

yeah sure Count_to_purple

[dark ridge]

how do I pick one?

or do I have both

[dark talon]

But has anyone checked what the "exploding dealing 15% of max health" means for SRS?
I mean I have a lot of "increase max health" talent points, do they apply to SRS minions?
Otherwise that support gem is a waste on SRS.
The only upside is that SRS spawn and die many many times

[clever geode]

u can change them anytime

[ebon moss]

Pick one. You can go back there to change it.

[dark talon]

Click on it

[clever geode]

click on the

[autumn bramble]

this is my first poe game

[dark ridge]

oh i had to ALT click

weird

[clever geode]

huh

[dark talon]

"Infernal Legion with Minion Instability" What does that mean?

[clever geode]

u just left click?

2 supports gem?

[ebon moss]

The problem is that the in game info for SRS doesn't tell us anything. It does for other minions. GGG needs to fix it at some point. Yes the max life should also work on SRS.

[remote bane]

where do i find a trial that will give me more points? im so confused im still sitting on just 4

[dark talon]

Ah thanks. So keeping it on SRS makes sense.
I'll remove it from Reavers

[ebon moss]

Support gems. Infernal Legion makes the minion constantly lose life. Minion Instability makes them blow up when they reach low life. You sometimes see this kind of thing referred to as "popcorn" SRS. Pop pop, they're blowing up.

[clever geode]

lvl 60+

[autumn bramble]

still need help

[clever geode]

it will say number of floor 3

[remote bane]

im lvl 66, this is trial lvl 66 and it doesnt give me points

[clever geode]

huh which trial are u doing

[remote bane]

number of trials 7

[clever geode]

not that

the other trial

[last sequoia]

Yo can someone help me with the bog witch?

[dark talon]

Ah I don't get Infernal Legion now.

[autumn bramble]

Count_to_purple

[remote bane]

none, i cant find none that give me ascendary points

[ebon moss]

But one issue with doing that kind of thing with SRS is that you need to skip the minion resistance passives so that they lose life fast enough to blow up before they expire. So your other minions will be squishier.

[last sequoia]

How do i invite 😦

[clever geode]

u need to get the djinn barya

with 3

[autumn bramble]

pause then social

[remote bane]

how do i find it?

[clever geode]

bruh

random drop

or just buy from people

[dark talon]

But SRS die with a timer, no?
They can't get hit.

[remote bane]

thanks

is it really rare or soemthing?

[clever geode]

they can get hit

[livid axle]

anyone can help me on 3rd accendancy tried 3x already but failed

[clever geode]

monster just dont aim them alot

[dark talon]

Right but they still die with a timer, lol so what's the issue here?

[clever geode]

but aoe dmg kills them fast

dont ask me

u only answer you if they could get hit or not

[lethal flicker]

which one

[dark talon]

Aight

[clever geode]

have no idea what is your main question

[lethal flicker]

chaos, 5 attributes or 15% slow debuff

[clever geode]

if u got no clue u can keep it first

then take it next time

[wooden quail]

do you guys run with the identifying scrolls?

[lethal flicker]

attributes it is

[clever geode]

[dark talon]

I got a lvl 9 skill gem for a Minion / Spell dmg Witch.
My current issue single target boss dmg.
What should I pick?
Fireball, Dark Effigy or Essence Drain?

[clever geode]

pretty sure arsonist kills boss fast

[wooden quail]

also iom in utzaal and im dying to the normal mobs sometimes even though im like three levels above. normal?

I am unable to complete thr chaos trials atm

[dark talon]

Arsonist?

[ebon moss]

They can get hit and die. It especially noticable with some AoE attacks.

[autumn bramble]

fire wall ragging spirt arsonist pain offerig

[clever geode]

u know this

[dark talon]

Right but I mean it triggers the explosive when they dispawn, right?

[ebon moss]

Level your minions first if you're doing a minion build.

[dark talon]

Ah.
I thought Reavers were better for bosses I just got Reavers 😭

[clever geode]

well depends on your build

i used arsonist till lvl 75

clear boss in 1-3 sec

[dark talon]

is Dark Effigy + Essence Drain got for a boss?
Put the dot on the boss, put the dark Effigy down and it gets nuked?

[ebon moss]

Arsonists are fine for leveling.

[clever geode]

with srs flamewall and curse

and pain offering

[topaz junco]

if you are a chaos build, yes but you are not a chaos build

[dark talon]

What support gems on Arsonists and flamewall?

[clever geode]

pretty sure he is leveling

[dark talon]

Ah that's a good point

[dark talon]

I can't use curse reliably, I got low mana.

[clever geode]

split shot

[ebon moss]

Yeah level 9 gems

[clever geode]

yeah

[dark talon]

Split shot on what?

[topaz junco]

arsonists

[clever geode]

Here, you may find a leveling guide helpful. https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-infernalist-leveling-guide

If you don't like that one, many Streamers have guides on YouTube

[dark talon]

Where does it touch single target dmg and bosses?

It just talks about corpse explosion

[clever geode]

ah not split shot

[dark talon]

I don't have issues with clearing, just bosses.

[clever geode]

is scattershot

mb

huh

[rough birch]

Are there like any tips I can utilize to finding quest places on the map faster?

[clever geode]

follow that maxroll skill guide

close to what i used

[dark talon]

Scattershot and what else?

Arsonist: <what support gems>
Flame wall: <What support gems>
SRS: <What support gems>

I can't use curse as you mentioned.

[topaz junco]

why cant you use curses?

[clever geode]

get a lower level curse

[ebon moss]

Do you have Pain Offering? Use that on Bosses with Flammibility. If you run into an issue with the Pain Offering immediately dying, you can hold it until you've stunned the boss.

[clever geode]

it's fine as long as u drop his resist abitg

[dark talon]

I can't use flammability. that guide you recommended told me to get gear that cut off intelligence providing mana.

Flammability takes almost 60% of my mana

[clever geode]

yeah

it's fine

[topaz junco]

^

[clever geode]

u dont need that much skill

just

get level 3 flamewall

to lower mp cost

flamewall mainly to srs

level 1 flamewall

[golden bay]

where do i sacrifice this

[clever geode]

to drop cost to 12

[topaz junco]

I have a lvl 12 flamewall in the same build and dont have any issues

[trail trench]

is there a site where i can take a look whats in sale or do i have to get online?

[clever geode]

bruh u got mana he just said he dont have the mana

[topaz junco]

bruh I literally dont

[topaz junco]

I just dont use mana for anything

[clever geode]

well

idk man

i had same issue

[charred socket]

Can I ignore these bosses in the campaign? From what I understand from the key they dont give skill points or anything significant.

[clever geode]

so i just drink more mana pot

[clever geode]

yes

[golden bay]

where is the alter

[charred socket]

Thank you

[clever geode]

huh?

[scenic salmon]

Don't ignore the ones in the first zone of act 3

[clever geode]

ah

altar in

[topaz junco]

are you mom eb?

[golden bay]

it says sacifice the heart on a alter where is it

[ebon moss]

Check out the leveling guide. At the level you're at you're going to have limited support options. Once you get to the level 3 support gems you'll get more options. Example below, but feel free and use whatever you want.
Arsonist: Concentrated Effect and Scattershot. Later you'll use Martial Tempo
Flame Wall: Fortress and anything, Arcane Surge is fine
SRS: Fire Infusion and Martial Tempo
Pain Offering: Magnified Effect and Persistence.

[clever geode]

utzaal

[clever geode]

follow this

[median rivet]

lightning damage is lucky is that before or after convert?

[dusky burrow]

after

[median rivet]

ok ty

[dusky burrow]

because lucky is rolled when the skill actually hits the enemey

[dark talon]

I will try that on one of the bosses now, Thanks.

[dusky burrow]

so it has to be after conversion

[warm compass]

how are you supposed to kill bosses with the grenade merc leveling? I do terrible damage vs them with explosive grenade plus flash grenade and gas grenade

[clever geode]

?

[topaz junco]

no mana, just a rare ammy with 22% mana regen and a rare that happened to roll 32 to max mana

[scenic salmon]

What build is this again?

[topaz junco]

thats for minions, my personal setup is just summoning a fuckton of minions having them run at enemies then explode via various means

[ebon moss]

Yes using Flammability Curse and Pain Offering will probably take all of your mana. Use your mana potions on the boss if needed. You only need to recast Flammability when it's either expired or is about to expire if you want to try and time it. If you can time getting up Flammability and Pain Offering right as the boss is stunned you'll do massive damage.

[scenic salmon]

Archmage DD!

My favourite

[topaz junco]

not even DD, just MI and arsonists

and archers + arsonists cause exploding cloud is funny

[dark talon]

1. Skeleton Arsonists don't use Ignition? I can use Martial Tempo now, but I've put it on Skeleton Reavers
2. Flame Wall: I am using Arcane Surge now, should I add Fortress? It will do less dmg, though, is that not bad?
3. SRS: Isn't Martial Tempo a waste here as SRS do less dmg than Skeleton Reavers or less AOE than Skeleton Arsonists?
   I added Instability here instead of Martial Tempo since I used that on the Skeleton X for their attack speed.
4. Pain Offering - Perfect, picked it, thanks!

extra:
Do I even use Unearth on bosses?

But on bosses, do I use Skeleton Reavers, Arsonists or Snipers?
So far before, I used Snipers and it seemed they did more dmg than Arsonists and I have more of them so uptime was longer.
Testing with Arsonists it seemed the kill was much slower...

I just recently got Reavers and they are good, better than Snipers with bosses that don't do ranged AOE

[dark talon]

I need Flammability for bosses that are Fire Resistance, which Seemed to be a lot of them in Act 2 at least - that's why I got here to begin with. I had issues with Single Target dmg on bosses.

[dark ridge]

What level do Ascendency Skills gain sjppport gem slots?

break points

like Concoction

[topaz junco]

arsonists are your damage, you dont need reavers and imo their damage is really low and not even remotely worth using until you get clerics

you dont care about flame wall damage, its just utility

why would tempo be a waste here, each srs gets the attack speed

unearth is hit or miss, if you dont ned the corpses for whatever reason then sure but you could go without as well

[random goblet]

Probably a dumb question but does Intellegence boost spell and minion damage?

[dark talon]

Oh ok

[topaz junco]

no

[random goblet]

What i thought thanks

[rough birch]

Are all the bonuses on the right worth losing 2 levels on my minion skills?

[dark talon]

But if I have one slot available, why martial tempo for SRS and not Minion Instability for their explosive effects after they expire...
Since they spawn and expire so many times it seems like a good deal?

[ripe owl]

Damn. Came across 2 (rare?) enemies with life regeneration and they outhealed my damage, lol.

Died and they came back but with different stuff, and I killed them.

[heady minnow]

i died in my first map, but my portals disapeared? do u lose if u die once in the map? Not like poe 1 where u died u lost of of the 5 portals?

[topaz junco]

if the math remains the same from poe 1 or at least very close, a +1 minion level is approx 15% more damage per additional level so it would be much stronger than the one on the right

[topaz junco]

what other supports do you have srs on

[fickle pollen]

Im at the tree of souls, Ive stabbed the tree twice with the spikes, and now I cant stab the 3rd one?

[dark talon]

Right now I got Fire Infusion and Minion Instability

[topaz junco]

then youi would want infernal legion as the 3rd

[dark talon]

Why? SRS will expire pretty quick and blow up

[topaz junco]

that...thats the point

[dark talon]

No I mean they already do that.

[rough birch]

So approx 30% dmg for +2 levels?

The right one has 61% damage though?

[topaz junco]

61% INCREASED damage

30% more damage is stronger

[topaz junco]

how are you getting them to low life then

[rough birch]

[dark talon]

Oh I see what you're saying. Instability doesn't blow up just because SRS expire.
They have to get to low life.

Thanks, I totally missed that.

[topaz junco]

increased/reduced modifiers are additive to similar modifiers already on your tree/gear.
More/Less are multipliers

[narrow knoll]

Are you supposed to replay act 1 during campaign? went through time portal and back in act 1

[topaz junco]

yup. so you summon srs via flamewall. They'll immediately start losing life due to infernal legion and when they get to low life, explode via instability

[topaz junco]

yes, acts 1-3 in a harder difficulty

[wooden quail]

what do i do if i can only find 2 of the soul core things

[fickle pollen]

Deadass think Im locked out of the quest.

[narrow knoll]

Is it manditory to reach endgame?

[topaz junco]

wander around, see if an enemy hid underground but you might have to redo it

[topaz junco]

what quest

[topaz junco]

yes

[shut abyss]

is that the puzzle one where one is up top and you need to play with the levers to get all of them?

[wooden quail]

i found one lever, but it would cut me from the other side

[fickle pollen]

Secrets in the dark - Stab the last rune spike into the tree.

I cant stab the last one.

[ebon moss]

Use whatever supports you want. They're easy to change around

1. If you want to use Ignition, that's fine. Later you'll get an Infernal Hound summon that will do Ignite.
2. The reduced damage from Fortress Support on Flame Wall does not effect the +damage for projectiles going through the wall. Having Fire Wall in a circle around the boss can help your Arsonists always get the +damage for their projectiles.
3. Sure do whatever supports you want. I had Martial Tempo on Arsonists later.
   Unearth on Bosses, no, there's usually no corpses. Sometimes bosses summon adds, but it's not enough for a constant supply of corpses.
   If you want to use Snipers that's fine, they do Physical damage. Arsonists are doing Fire damage, so Flammability helps their damage. SRS does 70% Fire and 30% Physical damage, so Flammability helps SRS as well.

[shut abyss]

there should be two if it's the puzzle one or one of them

[topaz junco]

press f1, make sure the gateway isnt lagging or w/e

[wooden quail]

aah thanks

[fickle pollen]

Its all good. Ive even tried reloading the game numerous times.

[rough birch]

[topaz junco]

might have to redo the character then, never heard of that bug

[topaz junco]

?

[shut abyss]

have you made a new zone? ctrl click before entering

[high zenith]

how do i make this text stay even when i dont have my map open?

[fickle pollen]

I did try that unfortunately

[topaz junco]

[slow tundra]

thank u

[shut abyss]

one more guess. /invite moppari

[weary tree]

Does any skin I buy on the website work in PoE2?

[nocturne ocean]

can someone tell me why i'm getting spammed when i list this item for 1 exalted orb? Based on the trading website it seems that it is a normal price for it.

[spark igloo]

I've opened all ancient seals but I can't get to the next location, what should I do?

[fickle pollen]

Unfortunate chief

[weary tree]

Can this skin be used in PoE2?

[remote bane]

spirit i guess

[shut abyss]

very much so, want a cool looking hammer to make your restart faster?

[waxen juniper]

anyone who could help me with jamanra?

[smoky lava]

Poison Concotion is strong in poe 2? I remember on poe 1 it was great build coz I dont needed any items

[dark talon]

Thanks! I already have Infernal Hound

[patent nebula]

Good question! Is there a way to know what costumes will show in PoE2?

[proven matrix]

Can you have more than 10 ragin spirits?

[fickle pollen]

Would that work on a mercin?

[shut abyss]

i did say crossbow didin't i?

[fickle pollen]

hammer

[shut abyss]

crossbow

[fickle pollen]

I wouldnt mind one

[shut abyss]

drop an invite when you get to town

[fickle pollen]

Heard.

[fading pike]

is this icon mean the enemy is chilled?

[trim turret]

Most cosmetics, especially armor will eventually work with POE2, but many have not been ported over yet.

[trim turret]

That's freeze buildup. Chill is a different icon.

[umbral girder]

How do I get a minion to attack? I have the "Skeletal Warrior" skill gem slotted it's active and he's out but when ever we get into a fight he stands there afk.

[fading pike]

ah ok thank! Guess thats comming from the new lighting skelton i added

[stable kiln]

with flickerstrike blocking "Power Charges" from being gained during use, does that count for frenzy charges converted to power charges through the Resonance node?

[rough birch]

Are the campaign maps comically large or am I just bad at recognizing where the quest obj. will be?

[vast imp]

what do i do with this, also where is the other one

[stable kiln]

out of the 3 places you need to go for the main quest, two will have the relic drops and the third will have an altar to put them into

[vast imp]

thanks

[dusty vessel]

Did they chabge the trial of Chaos? Its much harder now

[vapid violet]

Not just campaign all maps are huge

[wooden quail]

why cant i refund my ascendancy points?

[stable kiln]

feels like at least during acts 1-3 theres enough shiny things in most of the maps that made it feel worth exploring the entire thing for me
im also getting hit by a lot of FOMO for scripted encounters that could drop scripted loot

[wooden quail]

clicking it does nothing

i made sure that the titan chest is empty

any help please

[rough birch]

Idk I'm feeling "open world rpg that didn't need to be open world there is nothing on this map" vibes

[abstract oxide]

So am i missing anything about the trade stuff? Been eyeing this item the entire day, whispered a ton of sellers and just never hear anything back...

[scenic oyster]

I'm actually stuck on count geonor my build is frost and he has resistance to it

[stable kiln]

im opening every chest in hope of uncut gems or orbs

[winged ether]

on cruel he one shot me everytime was driving me loopy was stuck for ages on my deadeye ranger

[stable kiln]

supposedly theres a bunch of price fixing and other related activies going on, personally i havnt done any trade yet so i cant say.

[rough birch]

I mean, same but mainly because all the quest objectives end up in the last corner I check and it's taking way longer than what I consider to be sensible

[abstract oxide]

so am i fighting bots for it?

[tacit knot]

Sirry but i really consider blackjaw ridiculously hard

[stable kiln]

from my understanding its people listing low and then ignoring messages, in hopes of other players beliving thats the real price? to then buy their stuff at lower than the actual value? then what? idk if the endgame is to just own a majority of the market and then relist everything higher or what

[scenic oyster]

guess I make another character and try again

[azure lava]

other one is in keth (drops from a random snake person monster), you turn them in at the statue next to the waypoint at the valley of titans

[dark vapor]

hey, i just bought PoE2 from the standalone client. will i be able to access my ps5 account?

[stable kiln]

is there a stash affinity for runes?

[dark vapor]

my acc is linked to steam aswell

[vapid violet]

It's exactly that, underpriced things so players sell thier high value items for much less than they are worth to then get bought out and relished for actual value

[topaz junco]

then yes it should work fine

[lament stone]

each platform needs a separate early access key

[topaz junco]

really? thats stupid

[tacit knot]

Do u have tips for blackjaw. No matter how much i dance around him he just gets me in ghe end

[lament stone]

yea

[azure lava]

get fire res, be a chronomancer. That's what I did

[dark vapor]

okay but is that a yes or no

[lament stone]

at first i just thought it was pc/xbox separate from psn, but turns out you need another key for xbox too

[clever geode]

is it?

i thought xbox is same as pc

[tacit knot]

What do umean be a chronomancer sir

[static root]

Anyone got a link to the instill delirium combo guide?

[tacit knot]

How does it help

[lament stone]

its a no, if you want to play poe2 early access on ps5, you need to buy an early access key on ps5

[lament stone]

the mtx are shared, the early access key is not

[dark vapor]

im asking if i can access my ps5 acc progress from standalone client. i have keys for both

just a lil confused

[clever geode]

icic

[clever geode]

yes but mtx is not shared

[hushed tendon]

anyone able to help me w one situation i almost lose all my spiritwhen i use demon from but i need another 52 to cast on freeze, idk how to get moor ;p

[lament stone]

oh i see, yes that would work, but none of your mtx from ps5 will be available on pc

[dark vapor]

whats mtx

[lament stone]

cosmetics/stash tabs

[azure lava]

microtranscaction

[dark vapor]

oh

thats wack

thats fine tho

my drip just nonexisting now

[sudden chasm]

wtf, how tf am i supposed to get to the checkpoint?

[lament stone]

probably from bottom right

you can get weird spiral layouts like that sometimes

[azure lava]

go through a crypt and resurface in that area

or go way around, yeah

[winged ether]

some maps have those mad round the back weirdness

[azure lava]

you can use the arrow keys to pan the map overlay around

[sudden chasm]

bottom right is a dead end too

[azure lava]

did you do the mausoleum of the praetor yet?

[stable kiln]

with flickerstrike blocking "Power Charges" from being gained during use, does that count for frenzy charges converted to power charges through the Resonance node?

[lament stone]

oh wtf, that looks like an actual bricked layout

[azure lava]

don't you just go through the praetor and it resurfaces you at the other part of the cemetary with the other mausoleum?

[lament stone]

no

[sudden chasm]

yes

[azure lava]

hm

[sudden chasm]

but it did not resurface me the other way

[lament stone]

youre just gonna have to create a new instance

[topaz junco]

thats a good question, based on wording I'd say that should work

but idk

[azure lava]

yes, you're still gaining power charges

I'd say it wouldn't work, no matter how they're obtained

[vapid violet]

Yes u basicly have a hidden buff that insta removes power charges while fs is active

[azure lava]

you're still "gaining" power charges

which flicker strike does not permit

[dusty vessel]

Why is the first ascendacy so hard to get now? Not getting hit was way easier????

[azure lava]

compared to what?
you mean poe1?

[dusty vessel]

Compared to what it was before did they chane the whole Mechanic?

[topaz junco]

they havent changed the mechanic

?

[azure lava]

I don't know what two things you're comparing here

the way you ascend in poe2 has not changed since they started early access

[stable kiln]

about what i expected

[dusty vessel]

Now its like this

Before i had to choose a path, like where i want to go next

[azure lava]

that's the other option for ascending

that's the trial of chaos

[dusty vessel]

How do i change the option?

[azure lava]

The trial of the Sekhema is the one where you have honor

[tacit knot]

Do casters need mana regen?

[lament stone]

trial of skehemas and trial of chaos are the two options you get for ascending

[topaz junco]

depends

[azure lava]

find a djinn barya with 2 trials listed on it

[clever geode]

it's quite easy if u know what's going on

[tacit knot]

Or can live without?

[lament stone]

only if you use mana

[azure lava]

well, chronomancers can get all their mana back with temporal rift

[desert jungle]

Hey, play station specific question. How do I reset or open a new instance on ps?

[tacit knot]

My spark mage is constantly without mana i didnt invest

[dusty vessel]

Where do i find those? I have a djin thing with 1 trial on it but i csnt open it

[azure lava]

In general, all builds need some way to pay for their skills. Mana regen is one of many tools to address that hurdle

[tacit knot]

Is it ba

[azure lava]

they drop randomly starting in cruel

[scenic estuary]

which one is the best to choose

[dusty vessel]

But last time i did this without going into cruel?

[azure lava]

but I'd wager the quest version of the trial of chaos is gonna be WAY easier than the 2-trial Sekhema@dusty vessel

[azure lava]

The first time you ascend, you can do either the 4-round chaos (what you're at now) or the 1-trial sekhema (what you already did)

[vapid violet]

I'd almost say mana regen of some kind is mandatory as the meta is +skills which scale the cost of spells by alot so u can prob live without alot but ull need some unless u wanna drown urself chugging mana pots 24/7

[azure lava]

The second time you ascend, you can either do the OTHER easy one (in your case, that's the trial of chaos you're at now) OR the tier-2 version of the same type of trial

[dusty vessel]

This kne is way hardee than the other one

[desert jungle]

Hey, play station specific question. How do I reset or open a new instance on ps?

[tacit knot]

Can a mage survive without? I didnt invest because i thought shed be ok but is it kind of obligatory to invest in sustain?

[azure lava]

the trial of chaos is very RNG-dependent and you get unlimited tries until you succeed. You might get a good run with easy mods/challenges@dusty vessel

[azure lava]

depends on how much your spells cost, what other options you have available, etc

[visual mural]

look what i just got from vendor boys

[opaque kayak]

is the relic stash affinity not working?

[topaz junco]

you're more than welcome to ask here but the peeps in #playstation or the console specific disccord may be able to provide an answer faster

[azure lava]

#2┃general is better for item showcases

[tacit knot]

Just using spark high cast speed

[azure lava]

it's not working for me

[desert jungle]

Ty

[vapid violet]

I'd keep at it or maybe outlevel it a bit as the 1st to ascendancy trials are repeatable till u finish them after that it's u die/fail and u need another token

[azure lava]

I don't have a definitive answer no matter what your spell is

[opaque kayak]

knew it, thank you and that's sad

[dusty vessel]

I cant even put the djin thing in the slot to open the gate?

[tacit knot]

Okay but she is constantly out of mana are there ways to address this without investment in regen

[azure lava]

you're basically asking, "hey, do I need to own a leaf blower?"
Depends on where you live, whether you care about leaves, whether you're willing to pay to have someone else to do it for you, etc
@tacit knot

[still turret]

i think theres a support gem to lower mana cost

[vapid violet]

Better mana flask u can perpetually chug but as I said ull prob need some mana regen at some point

[still turret]

i dont think its worth using

but

[azure lava]

charms drop frequently, I'd just pick whatever one you find most annoying at this very moment

[maiden summit]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[dusty vessel]

Does anyone know when pvp will be added?

[still turret]

it wont

[supple lily]

Is there a campaign guide so i don't miss any passives/bonusses?

[dusty vessel]

But poe1 had pvp?

[vapid violet]

Which barely anyone did and was essentially p2w cause of the item market

[still turret]

looking it up we got hit with an eventually maybe so
"it is not a main focus"

[dusty vessel]

It should be

[shut abyss]

support gems that have cost multiplier drain mana fast
there's a support that decreases mana use(atleast for a monk)
passives that decrease mana usage
mana on kill
+skill level item mods are bad bad for mana
it's abit situational how much you need to do to fix your mana problem, usually it's not that much

[clever geode]

yes

[still turret]

there will be little plus icon on the world map

[clever geode]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/permanent-stats-from-campaign#act-3-cruel-header

[azure lava]

hover over the "i" in the upper left of the map to see the legend. That will show you what icon represents content with permanent bonuses

[craggy gyro]

guys what does

witch scal;e off

dexterity and intelligence?

[azure lava]

classes don't scale off of anything. Skills scales off of things

[clever geode]

for lvl 40 is 800 life+es too little?

[tacit knot]

Thanks 🙂

[clever geode]

as a melee

the only differences between classes are where they start on the tree and what ascendancies they have

[azure lava]

he's in act 3

sell em to him

[still turret]

go back to old act 3

[azure lava]

well, it's newer temporally

[round dove]

is the co op good on this game?

[craggy gyro]

i am so confused because when i increased dexterity the amount of minions i have increased then randomly went back to what they were

[azure lava]

minion stats are kinda jank, but dexterity has zero bearing on minion count as far as I'm aware

[lament stone]

you only need enough attributes to equip your gear and skill gems, beyond that attributes basically dont matter

[lament stone]

it could affect it if they have a dex support gem on a minion skill

[azure lava]

that can affect minion count?

[lament stone]

or an item granting spirit that has a dex requirement

[wooden lava]

it can disable the skill

[hardy bramble]

How is a build that is full evasion and ES managing against physical damage packs? I always randomly just explode

[lament stone]

is probably more likely

[azure lava]

I guess if they had a chest piece with spirit

[clever geode]

hp mp
some unique uses stats to buff stuff

[azure lava]

yeah this is someone asking about attributes who just started

[lament stone]

better than armour builds you can scale es numbers way higher than life

[bitter ingot]

what do i do with thew item idont want
new player
sell them for gold?

[shut abyss]

about 80% of the time just fine then evasion fails and you die

[azure lava]

we don't need to show a screenshot of a unique item that's cut off that could be very misleading lmao

[still turret]

if they are blue and up disenchant them

[clever geode]

what is the node that invoker monk needs to take for him to be tanky

[supple lily]

Any idea how the lvl 97 on hcssf dead eye is survivng then?

[hardy bramble]

this is what i'm experiencing 😄

[bitter ingot]

rest sell for gold?

[shut abyss]

kill everything offscreen

[azure lava]

I'm guessing evasion is far from their only line of defense

[still turret]

if you dont want em yea
blue yellow anything like that gets disenchanted

[hardy bramble]

It feels like some physical damage is unavoidable, as in not evadable, something like physical aoe's

[clever geode]

ok

[lament stone]

10k es with no other defences is better against phys damage than 4k life with 20k armour because the armour scaling is so bad rn

[shut abyss]

oh slams you got to dodge really no reason to stand in them

[lament stone]

yes, by default evasion only works against projectiles and melee strikes, it has nothing to do with it being phys damage

[trail trench]

is contagion a curse?

[bitter ingot]

ok ty
idk what i m doin but having fun
clearing corners and following quests

[supple lily]

block is the way against phys atm i guess

[still turret]

yea thats the way to do it gl homie

[azure lava]

all curses include the tag "curse"

[trail trench]

dang it, thought so, but hoped contagion is a curse 😄

[hardy bramble]

quadrilla monkey comes off screen with ahste buff, really no time to do shit in that 😄

[whole palm]

Is there any form or transmog my mercenary be looking so ugly?

[still turret]

my monk build uses blink because of shit like that
or floor aoe from off screen
all classes need an oh shit button

[ionic tapir]

do people boost here?

[wooden quail]

oh wait i only need to play the first 4 floors of the temple of chaos to get my ascendancy?
i thought i needed to play all 10

[azure lava]

nope. check out #trading

[shut abyss]

maybe shield would work? 😛

[azure lava]

if it's your first or second ascension, yeah, just 4

[lament stone]

yes only 4 rounds, it showing 10 rounds is old ui that hasnt been updated yet

[clever geode]

i think there are ppl selling boosting service

idk

[hardy bramble]

I feel like I need a blink

[wooden quail]

ah thanks people

[clever geode]

i know there are people selling ascend t4 service

where is the offical poe site that sells service?

or was it not offical

[azure lava]

man, all these people worrying about mobility, survival, and enemies being too fast...
laughs hysterically in chronomancer

[still turret]

you got 60 spirit and a high enough lvl?

[still turret]

everything on my screen that isnt yellow explodes

and then most yellows explode

[bitter ingot]

yo guys how do i move map from middle of the screen to left or right?
i meant the map open when pressing tab can i move that?

[shut abyss]

i solved my monk's defense with more damage

[shrewd palm]

there is a way to check dmg per second? like a tracker or a test field? idk

[still turret]

tab is what i think you want

[whole palm]

Defense idek what that is

[azure lava]

press G

[clever geode]

yes if you kill them before they touch you
perfect def

[inner river]

Arrow keys

[azure lava]

I'm basically not getting touched on my ice shot chronomancer. Once I get far enough into endgame I'll write up a guide for it

[bitter ingot]

i have 65% keyboard i dnt have arrow keys?and i m using wasd as movement

[clever geode]

oh btw

if the expedition has immune to physical damage

is it 100% resistance to phycial?

which can be drop

or just st8 up cannot hit with phy

[azure lava]

nope, it's immunity

[inner river]

The I guess you will have to rebind the keys

[bitter ingot]

ok lemme check ty

[rough birch]

Does the right one justify losing 1 level in minion skills?

[dusky burrow]

no

[lament stone]

it has almost no life, and not much resists either

the life and elemental resistances are the stats you want to be looking for on armour for now

[azure lava]

the right one is basically losing 39 life for 8% cold res. That's barely an even trade on its own

[crude finch]

how do you tell how much a spirit a spell requires? I added a support gem and it says not enough spirit but doesn't tell me how much spirit I need

[lament stone]

youre not using the helm on the left for the +1 minion skill level, thats just a bonus

youre using the helm on the left for the life and resistance

[pastel talon]

How to eliminate resistance penalty ? What causes penalty?

[crude finch]

Hmm wait I see the support gem says 10 additional spirit. Is there no place that totals it up

[lament stone]

get more resistances on gear

you get -10% to all elemental resistances at the end of each act

you cant avoid it

[edgy timber]

what does corrupted mean?

[lament stone]

basically cant be modified any further

[dusky burrow]

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

[pastel talon]

I see, is there any penalty on dying to bosses ?

[lament stone]

not during the campaign

[pastel talon]

End game ? Perma penalties ?

[lament stone]

in the endgame, if you die you fail the map and get kicked out of it

any loot that was on the floor is gone forever

[clever geode]

which is better

[pastel talon]

But you can always restart from checkpoints right ?

[lament stone]

no

there are no checkpoints outside the campaign

[dusky burrow]

what build

[void schooner]

hi can someone please help me with Jamanra act 2

[still turret]

left i think but its close

[pastel talon]

You mean to say end game is a rouge like mechanic in PoE2?

[ebon moss]

try asking in #2┃looking-for-group

[lament stone]

no

[clever geode]

invoker

[dusky burrow]

its like poe1 except if you die the portals disappear

[dusky burrow]

so you dont care about the cast speed?

[clever geode]

yeah

[lament stone]

you put a waystone on any map node, if you die in that map, you fail that map and have to get a new waystone to put in that map node to start a new map

[dusky burrow]

then i take right, at least it has some fire res

[lament stone]

its why using the campaign to figure out your builds weaknesses is super important

[pastel talon]

Ah I see and how do you get waystones ?

[still turret]

what invoker build?

[lament stone]

random drop

[obsidian meteor]

Is it just me, or does the "Prevents recovery above 50%" trait actually stop you from going above 1/3?

[still turret]

i ask because mine benefits from cast speed

[crude finch]

Is there any place you can find shock and freeze chance % for a spell

[lament stone]

open the skill menu (g) click the arrow on whatever spell you want to see the stats for

[rough birch]

What about all the energy shield though, isn't energy shield basically life+

[clever geode]

doing ice strike with charged staff bell herald ice/thunder

[still turret]

ah i see we have almost mirrored build types lmao
my whole build uses storm wave almost exclusively

[crude finch]

I looked at the skill but it doesn't like shock or freeze chance

list shock or freeze chance I mean

[clever geode]

what level are you

[still turret]

lvl 80

[clever geode]

ah

how much spirit do u got

[still turret]

i thin its like 160 180

[clever geode]

with how much eva on body

u got take that

[still turret]

1250

[wooden quail]

hey can i jeweler orb mace strike?
( the default attack of maces, that from my knowledge has more slots from leveling up your character)

[clever geode]

ascend node right

[clever geode]

weapon skill cannot be orb

[still turret]

yea its so nice

[wooden quail]

damn, thanks dude

[clever geode]

so full eva body?

[lament stone]

i forgot elemental ailments chance is based on the size of your hit vs the enemies ailment threshold, so there isnt actually a chance on your skill

[still turret]

yea

[clever geode]

u take this?

or

[crude finch]

@lament stone Then what does increased chance to shock on passive tree do

[still turret]

not yet actually

[clever geode]

i mean

what's your plan

u should be at 6 points right

[still turret]

the order for my build was sunder cold strike then i shall then its unbound

[rough birch]

I doubt this is useful?

[clever geode]

also which node give es base on eva?

[still turret]

theres builds that can use it

[clever geode]

yeah

[lament stone]

it makes it easier to shock enemies, the higher your shock chance is above the enemies ailment threshold, the easier it is to inflict shock or something like that

[clever geode]

but normally unusable

[lament stone]

idk the exact calculation

[crude finch]

ok so where is that chance number

[obsidian meteor]

Is it just me, or does the "Prevents recovery above 50%" trait actually stop you from going above 1/3?

[lament stone]

there isnt a set chance

[still turret]

this is what ive been runnin https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/coc-balls-invoker-ronarray

[lament stone]

the chance is based on the enemies ailment threshold so its not something that can be shown on your character

[still turret]

it is also not what it says it is anymore lmao

[cold cargo]

if its okay to ask, how do people get their 4th slot in passive gems

[crude finch]

I mean they show chance to evade and block

[lament stone]

greater jeweller

[lament stone]

its a different system

[cold cargo]

this is like in act 2 cruel? smthn?

[rocky wave]

why i'm taking too much dmg on act 1 ?

[cold cargo]

or just have better luck

[crude finch]

Sure but it is similarily based on hit and amount of armor like shock etc

[lament stone]

level 57+ zones iirc, theyre extremely rare which is why theyre like 40exalts

[cold cargo]

40…..

thank u

[crude finch]

so would be nice to see how much a difference 100% increased chance to shock is actually making

[lament stone]

The chance to apply shock depends on the amount of pre-mitigation damage dealt relative to the monster's ailment threshold. It is a base of 1% chance to apply per 4% of ailment threshold the hit deals.

[clever geode]

mine is different i guess

[halcyon gust]

@lament stonehi

[clever geode]

how do u freeze?

[lament stone]

the game doesnt know which monster youre hitting until you hit it, so its not something it can just show

[crude finch]

The game also doesn't know what is hitting me to give the estimated evasion chance but it still does

[crystal bone]

which one should i buy ?

[crude finch]

At least an average would be good to see so I can understand how much increased chance to shock is doing

[lament stone]

enemies dont have wildly different accuracy stats

[still turret]

theres a ring
its a make or break for the build
last i knew it was 25 exalts for it

[obsidian meteor]

Is the "Prevents Recovery Above 50%" trait bugged? Whenever I fight something with that trait, I actually don't recover above 1/3.

[halcyon gust]

@lament stonewhat lvl u need to be to trade

[lament stone]

need to have reached level 25 at least once

[obsidian meteor]

I guess no one knows. 😐

[halcyon gust]

thank u kind sir

[clever geode]

idk i only know i dont heal as well

[timber fjord]

im loving the witch so far with summoning raging spirits doing hc ssf

[clever geode]

srs is fun

[timber fjord]

not sure why dude thought it was funny?..weird

[cold cargo]

im curious, what level do people start doing maps?

[clever geode]

it's me

[hardy bramble]

bruh wtf

[timber fjord]

it messes with my frames a lil bit going from over 100 to 40s

[shell peak]

guys i have a problem i cannot complete this quest and progress further. When i speak to npc it doesnt even mention this quest and when i go to act 2 first location i dont have any quests

[timber fjord]

im playing in 4k

[sturdy barn]

someone please help, will upgrading 9-10 buff still anything? tooltips seem to be missing

[stuck knoll]

i have a problem. i just kill the azak boss for spirit but my inv is full at the moment then i pick the skull up it disappeared..

[lament stone]

65ish, thats roughly the level you finish campaign at

[clever geode]

😑

[shell peak]

idk if this is bug or what but i dont want to create new char

[lament stone]

just ignore it, theres a few quests that are bugged like that

[cold cargo]

then u just get to lvl 80+ doing maps?

[still turret]

you spoke to the hooded one and clicked his orange text at the top right of his ui?

[lament stone]

yea, maps are the endgame

[shell peak]

i know but i dont have ANY quests in act 2

[cold cargo]

thank u

[timber fjord]

messed with some settings its good now had to turn hdr off

[shell peak]

same on act 2

[lament stone]

yea it doesnt appear yet, just go to act 2 and keep exploring

[shell peak]

bro i explored whole map

i dont have anywhere to go

literally

no quests

[lament stone]

you killed the boss?

[shell peak]

yes

[lament stone]

then got on the caravan?

[shell peak]

i killed him again i thought maybe i was dumb

[shell peak]

nothing happens

[frigid badge]

is there a reason for me to pick up support gems lv1? can i make them into higher tier later or they just gona take space in my stash?

[still turret]

take up space
if your in a guild and they have a gems tab you can throw it in there to help your guild

[lament stone]

useful for leveling new characters, but they just take up space

if you dont have the gems tab i wouldnt recommend keeping any of them

except spirit gems

spirit gems are quite rare so its nice to have some low level spirit gems

[vagrant edge]

when buying items do i have to be higher or the same lvl as the item or it dosent matter?

[whole palm]

Does the cauldron in the apex of filth not work on cruel difficulty?

[sturdy panther]

Can anyone help me and my friend on the first ascendancy trial

[lofty pilot]

Can I ask whats a better stat to have from these two

im doing maps

oh wait wrong chanel mb

[timber fjord]

do you take less damage from elemental with armour factoring in?

[frigid badge]

i want to say f you to person who made cash shop under M and map under U

[lofty pilot]

not sure what that means but this is my current resistances

[lament stone]

no, armour only applies to physical damage

and the forumla is really bad rn so its not even very good

like if you have less than like 15k armour on the breach boss, you effectively have 0 armour

[brittle crown]

hi there, where is second trial ascendancy ?

[frigid badge]

armor blocks physical dmg unless stated otherwise
ex.

[shell folio]

hi there, the loot filter of never sink doesnt work for me, something about apex cleaver. any work around that is known?

[lapis wyvern]

Guys I’m thinking about buying something from the cosmetic shop but I’m wondering if it will carry over between different characters

[clever geode]

yes

[lofty pilot]

so its better if I keep my evasion high instead?

[clever geode]

but you can use on 1 char only at 1 time

u can reclaim it anytime u want

[lament stone]

its more effective as a defence rn

[lapis wyvern]

So if I buy one cosmetic it is available for every character

[lofty pilot]

oh tyy

[lament stone]

either pure evasion with acrobatics, or high evasion high es

hold alt, some mods have multiple lines

[worn flax]

Thanks

[clever geode]

if weapon it's fixed on the weapon type

so yes

[lament stone]

no

[clever geode]

example this is used on my other char

[lament stone]

thats a specific consumable item

most cosmetics can be used on any character

[clever geode]

but i can reclaim it anytime

[lament stone]

oh i see what you meant, as in sword skins can only be used on swords

[timber fjord]

nice i need that

[lament stone]

armour is pretty shit rn

it needs to be rebalanced

[timber fjord]

yea es is better end game

[frigid badge]

im watching a guide about ascendancy
rly game is forcing player to do speed runs?

[lament stone]

no

[timber fjord]

ill do armour es while leveling then transitioninto all es

[frigid badge]

no but if you get hit you lose honor which makes you fail

and there is a 20second timer

[lament stone]

its not that hard to run past enemies

[frigid badge]

yeah cus my warrior with negative ms is great for running past the enemies

[round path]

hello with what item is the best option to build up my mana regen?

[lament stone]

for what build?

[round path]

invoker cold

[bitter ingot]

if i mistakenly del this char will i lose my purchased 300 mtx coins? or nah

[lament stone]

probably still mana leech tbh, if you get a pure phys weapon im pretty sure your skills convert phys to elemental so that should work fine

[lusty hinge]

you just run and touch all over them objects, perfectly doable as anyone
it's even somewhat easier for warrior with shield charge

[proven matrix]

Is this ascendancy trial harder than balbala or whatever was thiss boss name?

[dusky burrow]

the coins are attached to your account

nothing to do with the character

[bitter ingot]

ok ty

[dusky burrow]

if you accidentally delete your account however...

(can just ask support)

[frigid badge]

ah yes the shield charge, my favorite skill

[round path]

is this any good?

[lament stone]

can be for a specific kind of build

[lusty hinge]

you can do it as a shieldless no ms bonus slug

[clever geode]

yes

good for starting out monk

[barren slate]

Hello. I upgraded Rolling Slam with a skill gem upgrade thing and it added attack time. Is this reversable? Its so slow now

[whole palm]

Can someone explain magnitudes?

[lament stone]

hold alt to hover over any item, you can click on any underlined text to read exactly what it means

[whole palm]

I did it’s not clear

[lament stone]

whats not clear about it?

[whole palm]

It doesn’t define what’s more powerful

The chance of getting the buff or the effect of the buff

Or debug

[lament stone]

the effect

[whole palm]

So shock does even more damage with increased magnitude

[lament stone]

shock doesnt do any damage

[whole palm]

Well I’ll do mror damage to a shocked enemy
