[whole palm]

I meant

With more magnitude

[lament stone]

but yes shock would have a higher effect, so enemies take more damage with higher shock magnitude

[whole palm]

Ok thx

[potent glade]

guys what can i do, i got The Mad Wolf quest bugged, cannot go East D:

[whole palm]

I have one

[lament stone]

did you go to act 2?

[potent glade]

yep

[lament stone]

then youre done

[potent glade]

but its not finished D:

[lament stone]

just do the first zone of act 2

kill the boss, get on the caravan

[viral pendant]

Hey random question. There is an icon in the first map of act 2 by one of the waypoints (the 2 guards on other side of map from from the camp). Icon looks like a statue laying on rubble maybe?

[whole palm]

What should I use my chance orb on?

[potent glade]

im on act 3 now

[violet gulch]

guys is (ancestral warrior totem) affect by the tree totem attack speed?

[mortal crystal]

good early game?

[round path]

what mean corrupted item?

[versed nexus]

can you change what type of attribute a node gives you after youve selected it

[halcyon gust]

via respecc yes

[versed nexus]

oof

is it at least sane

or do i have to unspec everything up to that node, and respec it

[violet gulch]

guys is ancestral warrior totem affect by totem damage or speed from tree?

[rough birch]

Was "Every trash on the map respawns when you die" a thing in PoE too?

[halcyon gust]

no u can freely click on that node and respecc

u dont have to do the entire uhh tree

or line

should say

[versed nexus]

thank god

[whole palm]

How come there is a cruel location of the trial of chaos but not for sekhamas?

[torpid perch]

Is there a list somewhere on what base items are worth saving for chance orbs?

[whole palm]

That’s what I wanna know too😂

[austere brook]

Anyone want to team? Im an lvl 7 sorceress i just want an gaming homie 😂🙏🏼

[lethal flicker]

worth anything?

[scenic estuary]

nah give it to me PepeSlightSmile

[lethal flicker]

[noble lynx]

Anything noteworthy to be had in the molten vault?

[sage lotus]

I just did my first waystone and when I go back to the map it says map in progress, but I also completed it. Am I missing something or can I just move on to the next map?

[lament stone]

did you kill every rare enemy in the map?

[noble lynx]

It'll say completed once u move to next one

[sage lotus]

Yes there is 0 monsters left

[mellow echo]

whats the consensus on the trials in poe2?
I just completed 1st trials
and I think its just the definition of anti fun 😦

[noble lynx]

I killed the boss in the vault but wondering if it's worth clearing out?

[noble lynx]

Agree. Too much left to chance.

[vernal tundra]

This may be a dumb question but what is stopping someone from having a full build of unique itemsm

[dusky burrow]

in theory, nothing

[ebon moss]

Nothing, but it can be difficult to get all the resistances you need that way and other stats you may want.

[dusky burrow]

in practice, they usually dont have very much in the way of life/res/attributes, which may make things difficult

[vernal tundra]

Got it! That makes sense

[inland sentinel]

Full uniques depend on the uniques

Leveling uniques majority like goldrim, enfolding dawn, oaksworn are pretty good

[mellow echo]

is there any reason why one might want to trials multiple times?
like fishing for gems in poe1?

[noble lynx]

Molten vault worth clearing besides the boss?

[inland sentinel]

If you’re on a bow character, death’s harp

[wooden quail]

usually what is the ratio of pin buildup to stun buildup for monsters?
or its 1:1?

im just thinking if i should run pin support gem

[inland sentinel]

Multiple?

[mellow echo]

i mean again and again

[inland sentinel]

Outside of the ascension, you get more relic slots and more relic drops

[proven matrix]

is there any specific reason why sometimes chat is muting me and sometimes i can reply to ppl without problem? tried to trade and i couldnt message other person in middle of trade, just stood there like an ass

[mellow echo]

ah ok

[inland sentinel]

Rewards are pretty good for sanctum

[mellow echo]

makes sense

[inland sentinel]

In game?

Can you show what the error message says?

[rough birch]

I'm gonna need some explaining

[inland sentinel]

Corruption room

It can make an item good or really bad

[rough birch]

Rare room? Regular room? Get to come here once a day? Anytime I want?

[hexed root]

what is sorc archmage? is it a ascendency? i only see chronomancer and stormweaver

[inland sentinel]

Not sure if that one can be reset

[rough birch]

Put some random ass item in it and it's whatever? Gamble some specific slot?

[inland sentinel]

But its purpose is to gamble

[rough birch]

Like, come back later with something good? Just toss in whatever is in my inventory atm?

[ebon moss]

It's like using a Vaal Orb currency item.

[rough birch]

So best to put an amulet in?

Because I rarely ever see one drop?

[inland sentinel]

Put anything you want

But be prepared for the worst

[ebon moss]

This page goes into what can happen. https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Corrupted#Corruption_outcomes

[frigid badge]

this game is stupid

[proven matrix]

it says you have to wait before chat lol

[wooden quail]

there a place or link where i can see each monster's thresholds? (stun, ailment, stats in general)

[inland sentinel]

Have you ever traded in PoE before?

[frigid badge]

or rather the guy who made trials is stupid

[rough birch]

Massive

[frigid badge]

hur dur you cant play melee warrior

[next sinew]

so i just ran a map with 68% item rarity plus 125% item rarity on my gear. how come in only got 1 exalt and a bunch of othe ruseless currency items for it?

[inland sentinel]

lol yeah

[dusky burrow]

poe player learns about rng

[lusty hinge]

oh yeah, big, this many big

[inland sentinel]

Thanks, is there a gameplay question involved or are you just ranting?

[dusky burrow]

turns out rarity isn't the key to infinite free currency like reddit made it sound like

[next sinew]

yeah but what is this i thought item rarity was a good thing

[dusky burrow]

it doesnt prevent you from getting unlucky

[wooden quail]

anyone?

[inland sentinel]

I thought people were getting mad currency because of breaches

[proven matrix]

No. Im also not 25 so it blocked me from trading xD

[inland sentinel]

That’s an actual block

You need to be 25 on any character across your account

Even from Poe 1

[lusty hinge]

not saying the trials are good and fair but my warrior had it the easiest of all the classes I played funny enough

[frigid badge]

ranting imo
i want to play juggernaut 2x2h but the honor system is just nah go cahnge to ranged squishy cus he dont want to get hit in the first place

[wraith marlin]

I am far into endgame now, and I thought I had completed all the campaign bosses that give you permanent buffs. However, on my map it highlights me as not having killed ignaduk. I thought I had killed her so is there a way I can check I definitely have the +40 spirit you get from her, as I think this is a glitch.

[frigid badge]

i lost boss fight due to running out of honor
fun mechanic

[twin hill]

Anyone know a good build for a really strong dual wield build for titan I think was? Don't know which is the most optimal one.

[inland sentinel]

If you want to have discussions, there are channels for those #2┃general

[dusty vessel]

Is there a gem to extend duration on the bell???

[lament stone]

persistence or something like that, only works on gems with the duration tag

[inland sentinel]

Cruel act 3?

[dusty vessel]

Can u tell me what color that is? 🙂

[lament stone]

its a tier 1 support, red

[inland sentinel]

That one does not give +40 spirit

Only regular act 3

[topaz laurel]

is it allowed to put recruitment guild post here?

[wraith marlin]

oh okay

it is cruel

[ebon moss]

You can look up monsters on poe2db.tw, example https://poe2db.tw/us/Xesht%2C_We_That_Are_One#XeshtWeThatAreOneItThatReturned but I'm not seeing a Stun Threshold listed. It may be based on their life pool or some other mechanic that isn't fully understood yet.

[wraith marlin]

what does it give then?

[lament stone]

it does

the icon is just bugged

[inland sentinel]

Yeah it is a bug but also they have said in a forum post that they might not fix it

[nova mulch]

the fuck i need to do here?lol

[dusky burrow]

you need to find her

she's like camoflagued

when you attack her the poison gas stops

[shut abyss]

additional tip, when you find her she does aoe under her

[ebon moss]

When the gas comes out, run around the outside of the arena. She's hiding. When you find her, roll away as she'll do a slam. The gas will go away.

[wraith marlin]

ok great

thanks for the help

[wooden quail]

thanks, how did you navigate to bosses? i only found the general monsters page

[ebon moss]

You can put their name in the search box in the upper right. Or on the main page if you look at all the text in the middle there's an Endgame -> Map Boss section with some listed.

[stable kiln]

huh

[wooden quail]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Monster#MonsterStats
^ i only found this at first

I think this one is more relevant:
https://poe2db.tw/us/Monster#Monster

[lusty hinge]

yeah if you don't pick them up you can spam them all over the area, fun

[ebon moss]

Then click on the tab for the boss. There's also tabs for the boss drops and other info.

[wooden quail]

ah, thanks a ton dude

[nova mulch]

thx guys annoying af boss xd

[ebon moss]

It's interesting to look up their attacks. See what damage type they are, etc.

[wooden quail]

hmm ailment threshold is blank

[wooden quail]

yeah, unfortunately ailment threshold is blank
I was really curious to see if pinning threshold is the same as stun threshold

it would make more sense that the pinning threshold is lower but no way to confirm

[ebon moss]

Yeah I'm not sure if the formulas for those have been figured out yet. In PoE1 the ailment threshold was usually the same the monster's maximum life and with bosses having special thresholds so you could actually get some ailments up on them.
(at least it was after update 3.9)

[glass maple]

Have been finish act 1, what should i do, continue quest or farm some maps

[waxen valley]

how long does it take to complete the campaign because I feel like at this rate I'll be 500 years old by the time I finish it

I'm killing the enemies pretty fast it's just that walking takes so long to go anywhere

[winged crescent]

I think it is

[lament stone]

it took me around 35 hours the first time

[waxen valley]

how I'm at 50 hours and still in act 3 not even cruel

[shut abyss]

my ranger, in no particular rush is at 23 hours act 3 cruel

[winged crescent]

whats been your biggest hurdle?

[waxen valley]

finding the objectives

thats literally it

[winged crescent]

@waxen valley so a trick that helped me was going around the edge of the map to find all of the doors, then if I needed any mini bosses in the middle id have a half way comlpleted map to rationalize where they are

[proven matrix]

Should I always disenchant or sell items?

[winged crescent]

depends on what you need in the moment

I typically sold a lot cause it was easier

but if you need the orbs then disenchant

also if any of you guys need more detailed help I dont mind dm's or calls

[proven matrix]

I dont know im lvl 22 xD

[waxen valley]

ill try this when I feel like playing the game again maybe in a few days lmao ive kinda gotten exhausted of the game

[winged crescent]

lol so just starting out

[winged crescent]

thats fair, putting a lot of time and effort into a game can take a lot out, I hope you've been having fun though

[waxen valley]

I wanted to try and get to maps cause that seemed fun but lmfao

[winged crescent]

So it took me about 80 hours to get there

[waxen valley]

at this rate id rather have someone rush me to maps

[winged crescent]

Cruel actually goes by a lot faster than normal imo

[amber island]

for Spark Stormweaver what is my main and offhand usually? do ineed mana drain?

[winged crescent]

well you should learn the lessons that come with playing

[half ravine]

Would someone mind come and helping me with this sun god. I can’t kill him lmao. I’m on first play through. IGN is Saintfan

[proven matrix]

IS there any in game lvl indicator or only when hover over xp bar?

[wooden quail]

i see, thanks dude

[lament stone]

press c to open character sheet

[waxen valley]

lmao like what

[winged crescent]

well thats stuff youll have to learn lmao

[winged crescent]

press c look at the top right if youre on pc

[inland sentinel]

Cruel acts unironically become easier than regular acts assuming you’ve upgraded your gears, have a strong build, and you’re actively upgrading your skill gems

[ebon moss]

ask over in #2┃looking-for-group

[winged crescent]

I found it to be significantly easier

[inland sentinel]

Yeah

[timber fjord]

not bad

[versed nexus]

i only have 30 spirit but want to use herald of thunder, but its spirit requirementis too high. mustve accidentally leveled it without noticing. what can i do about this? or am i stuck without it until i gradually gain more spirit (but i assume that thisll be a continuing problem)

[worthy coyote]

Is there any way to fix too high latency in the location? I have to restart it 10+ times to get a location with stable latency. Is there any way to fix this, I didn't have such problems before.

[lament stone]

one of your supports is adding spirit cost to it

[timber fjord]

didn't know leveling did that for spirit going up like that

[versed nexus]

ahhh

my mistake.

@lament stone is right

i didnt notice that my support gems increase spirit cost

damn that sucks

[still turtle]

Is there a way to just teleport to where my friend is? Instead of having to find the area on the waypoint map

[ebon moss]

Do you have something else using Spirit? I believe Herald of Thunder always costs 30 Spirit.

[versed nexus]

yeah it was my bad, they corrected me justnow

[ebon moss]

Never mind, question was already answered

[versed nexus]

support gems on it seem to increase the reservationc ost

[chilly juniper]

SHould I always try to finish these or is it okay taking the items halfway through? Are there any extra rewards at the end?

[shut abyss]

he can drop a portal or there is a portal looking icon on his name that you can click

[wheat forge]

in a party there should be a little swirl icon on his partyportrait, click on it

[lament stone]

its only specific supports that add spirit costs

[astral oasis]

what is the proper way to "finish a map"?
I would complete a map. but on the world screen/ it still says in progress. Even when I portal back to town and double check the map device, it still says "map in progress"

Only when I start another map, the previous map would be marked as complete/green.

[lethal goblet]

quick question here: wasn't it possible to summon an enemie that i like (like an elite/rare one) and add them to my army

[lament stone]

no, bind spectre isnt in the game yet

[ebon moss]

If you see the support gem mentioning a Cost Multiplier on the left under the gem name, you could avoid that support for now. You will get more Spirit as you continue to play from some quest rewards. Or you can get it on items.

[lethal goblet]

its from a weapon?

[sinful ivy]

How can i link items in trade chat in console?

[lament stone]

it will be a gem, it doesnt exist yet

[shut abyss]

#2┃after-acts-help when you press tab in the map it will say "completed"
atlas will always say in progress if it's open
but it's completed when you feel like you're done with it, it varies from person to person

[ebon moss]

For example if you wanted to use Concentrated Effect, that doesn't have a Cost Multiplier.

[lethal goblet]

ah alr, but where did was the info about this again? (video link...)

[versed nexus]

right, makes sense

[smoky lava]

Is it worth to buy widowhail bow on early leveling deadeye LA ?

[trim turret]

Have you tried a different gateway?

[smoky lava]

Im 27 lv

[chilly juniper]

Crafted this in entirety (lv 45, Gemling)

[lament stone]

from one of the interviews jonathan did

[keen lagoon]

Is there a chance we’d get a PvP mode or no?

[worthy coyote]

yes, the problems started 4 days ago, but for 2 weeks everything was fine with me, now I have to restart the locations many times to get a stable low latency, but this is in the acts, on the atlas maps I don't know what to do

[lethal goblet]

alr thanks!

[placid swan]

is this hopeful

im a ranger though

[haughty niche]

Near 0 unless they get spicy for april fools again

Pvp in arpgs is awful, like the worst kind of pvp so theres not much incentive for it anyway

The goal of arpgs is to get more powerful loot and shit, usually to tey and become immortal or do insane damage.

In poe1 pvp arena (which no one played) the result was usually characters 1shotting eachother offscreen or being immortal and drawing.

They did a battle royal for april 1st and it was kinda neat but had no staying power.

[versed nexus]

what are these slots in my gear for if not for skill gems?

[lament stone]

runes/soul cores

[shut abyss]

like diablo 3 pvp! 😄

[haughty niche]

Cbow on ranger? You can do that but you wouldnt be able to take the bow nodes on the tree.

[versed nexus]

ahh

[haughty niche]

Yes. Witchdoctor pets offscreening etc. Not fun at all.

[lament stone]

in poe1 there have been builds that were immune to damage

[shut abyss]

in poe1 there are builds, let's leave it at that.. 🙈

[stable kiln]

Glyph Cry is my current staff, which of the other two is a better uprgade?

[severe sphinx]

When starting a new character, can you start out in cruel if finished on another character?

[vivid valley]

no

this isn't d4...

[stable kiln]

itd be nice if they copied some from how LE lets you skip through parts of the campaign on your second+ character in a league

[haughty niche]

You need to run the whole campaign for every new character

[whole palm]

Does your secondary weapon when not in your hand affect your stats?

[opaque stone]

No

[shut abyss]

goad i thinks

[dusky burrow]

secondary weapon set? no

[severe sphinx]

Thanks, all good they are pretty fast to do anyways

[whole palm]

So no point in having one equipped if your not using right

[shut abyss]

@stable kiln slap some runes on it and it'll carry you long time

[stable kiln]

kk ty

[whole palm]

I just got one tapped by a trap I’m so mad I couldn’t even see it with my cameras angle😂

[vivid valley]

I don't disagree, I'd love to start in endgame, but poe doesn't have the concept of scalable areas, endgame is way too hard without a levelled char; they'd have to let you share levels like they do in d4 as well, but that's not a great balance thing imo

[lament stone]

you need to use the campaign to find and solve weaknesses in your build

[vivid valley]

yeah, that's exactly what I did and it worked

[trim turret]

Probably good but can always check the before/after on DPS.

In the skill screen.

[stable kiln]

problem was that i was broke and could only afford one or the other xd

[vivid valley]

"looks like I need more dmg" - work on that, looks like I need more ES - work on that, looks like I need more mana/regen - work on that etc.

[severe sphinx]

They should of just made new acts instead of repeating them or something

[vivid valley]

they have 3 more planned

[haughty niche]

They are literally doing thst

[vivid valley]

this is in BETA

you are playing a prerelease

[trim turret]

There are 3 more that are almost finished.

[dusky burrow]

lol

[severe sphinx]

I know, I just mean between the normal and Cruel

[drowsy viper]

Can anyone help me with geoner?

[haughty niche]

Cruel only exists because act 4-6 arent done

[dusky burrow]

just tell ggg to snap their fingers and materialize more acts out of thin air

[vivid valley]

considering this is a beta the game is in a super state imo

[severe sphinx]

Ahh gotcha, didn't know that's why they existed

[stable kiln]

my question since when i went from act 3 to act 1 cruel my game crasshed and i didnt see the cutscene: is the cruel difficulty lore explained by the time travel portal and bringing doryani to the future? or is it just filler/unexplained why we are replaying acts 1-3 with (as far as i can tell) no changes to the plot

[daring latch]

New classes when

[trim turret]

There won't be a cruel later.

[whole palm]

Filler

[trim turret]

No changes, filler until we get acts 4-6.

[trim turret]

No idea, but Druid and Huntress are likely to be first.

[daring latch]

Oehhh huntress

[haughty niche]

Theres a lot of things thst i cant tolerate considering they already resolved the issues in poe1 and still decided to throw them into poe2, but besides those id say its solid for a release where the devs went on holidays immediately

[unreal inlet]

Q: how often can I do the 'Trials of Sekhemas' ?

I'm a bit confused as to when I can do them and get my ascendency points as a reward, vs just doing them for 'fun' and not yet having the chance to unlock more ascendency points when I finish a ToS run

[stable kiln]

im kinda expecting them to add 3 classes with one of each str/dex/int "base"? like how we currently have two of each, and overall there are 4 of each "base"

[shut abyss]

attack speed on it will ofc do more damage and make your attacks feel better
crit is a must for all increase critical hit chance nodes on your passive tree
+3 melee skill is big damage aswell but might cause some mana problems for you to solve

[lament stone]

we already know what all the classes are, theres 2 at each start point

[trim turret]

It's two classes for each attribute combination, each with three ascendancies/subclasses.

[vivid valley]

Absolutely

[haughty niche]

The entry coins say when they will reward asc points

[daring latch]

Hope they tweak trials, map 2 final boss for third ascent one-shot my honor 2.7k with 3 resistance relics on

Very not fun

[vivid valley]

yeah gonna hold off on that third ascent thing till I'm like level 90

lol

[lament stone]

the trials very clearly still have poe1 balance

[haughty niche]

I hope they remove the honour system entirely from ascendency. Its great as content to farm but not to lock power behind

[lament stone]

like the afflictions you get

[haughty niche]

Got a "minor" affliction that made me get a random affliction every time i used a shrine lmao

[daring latch]

Ye I quit the game after that. Done till full release

Endgame is also lackluster

[haughty niche]

The endgame was made in 6 months

[daring latch]

Ye just have to wait, game will be good

[haughty niche]

I csn excuse a lot of it, but a lot of it also just sucks BAD from a design standpoint so im just not playing

Most of my issues are because i played poe1.

And they already solved a lot of the problems this gsme has there

[vivid valley]

TBF poe1's endgame has evolved over 11 years to be the awesomeness that it is now

and poe2's endgame as a beta is still better than d4's which is kinda over in a day

[solemn flame]

Hello my game freeze in loading screen after i use waypoint and i’m force do manually turn off my computer. Any help?

[inland sentinel]

There is just no hook to grind the current endgame system in Poe 2. Mind I actually played settlers for 3 months cause boat dopamine

[haughty niche]

Tried alt+f4 or ctrl+shift+esc?

[vivid valley]

by the time the first season comes out, endgame will be dope

[inland sentinel]

Yeah

[solemn flame]

Ye nothing to do

[vivid valley]

man I love the currency exchange system

[shut dune]

hi i got a problem with the relics (sun clan and kabala clan) their is in my inventory and i can't drag it into the altar how i can fix it ?

[vivid valley]

go to bed, wake up with your sale done instead of worrying about being online

[shut abyss]

this might help, in taskmanager turn two cores off from poe

[solemn flame]

Thx

[nova aspen]

I really hope they fix this crashing crap.
Such a drag on the release.
Can play for 10 F'ing hours without a problem,
then can't even log into the game after 20 GD attempts the next day.
F'ing infuriating

[solemn flame]

And, where to check %crit chance and crit dmg?

[shut abyss]

that little arrow next to the skill

[solemn flame]

I saw it but i have more than what it says on the arrow

Why it shows lower?

[shut abyss]

what do you mean "more" ?

[solemn flame]

For example on my amulet i have 19%

[shut abyss]

ah no no

[solemn flame]

from the arrow i have only 11.3%

[lament stone]

increased is not additional crit chance

if you have 5% base crit chance, 100% increased crit chance would take you to 10% crit chance

[solemn flame]

Ah clear

[shut abyss]

^ this

[solemn flame]

I understand

I never played poe

[thin oracle]

If I'm at Rathbreaker and my friend is past that, can they join me or am I in a different gamestate?

[opaque stone]

They can join

[solemn flame]

I m a d2/d3/d4 player, totally different mechanisms

[shut abyss]

so your weapons crit chance is the most imporant, increases like your amulet scale that

[thin oracle]

I tried to have them join, but they could see my portal or me on the map

[solemn flame]

Thx

Do u have any guide for stats?

And btw, i disabled 2 cpu from task manager but i still crash in loading screens

[shut abyss]

hard crash reboot etc?

[solemn flame]

Now at least i can use ctrl alt del

[acoustic kraken]

can i somehow force to open the gates at halani gates ? the thing is broken and the npc is not doing it :C

[unreal swift]

Is there a fix for this

[shut abyss]

well that's progress, my friend did bunch of things like the cpu cores and high priority etc etc, i think his core problem was the newest windows update that i don't happen to have so i dunno

[unreal swift]

How do you manage the cores

[shut abyss]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1hn7rpq/poe_2_crash_fixes_whats_worked_for_me/

[unreal swift]

Ty

[solemn flame]

Can this cause problem to my hardware?

My pc is brand new

I don t want to risk any problems

[edgy timber]

is strength the only attribute you can get on a belt?

[shut abyss]

worst is you corrupt some files so nothing to worry about

i'd start by trying to reroll that windows update 24H2 if you got that installed

[rapid cypress]

How ppl selling sekhamas? Are they doing the run by themself and adding the party at last boss?

[last bison]

Question since I’m still new to the game, could I get my friend who’s level 90 to carry me through all my ascendancy (1-4) at once even if I’m level 10?

[fiery urchin]

@solemn flame I hate to break it to you, but the game is just currently horrendous in CPU + network optimization

wild incompatibility

[trim turret]

Shouldn't be.

[tropic flint]

I have 30 spirits in my Amuled but it doesn't add it to my maximum spirit why is that happening?

[shut abyss]

are you a invoker

[tropic flint]

yes

[trim turret]

Invoker?

[lament stone]

read your ascendancy node

[shut abyss]

^ do that

[haughty niche]

Once you hit lvl 20 you should be around the lvl of the first asc trial. Then you can get carried through all trial difficulties but it sill be rough cause you cannot get hit

[tropic flint]

thx

[last bison]

Thank

[azure ingot]

I just hit level 20. Is the ascendancy trial something we have to seek out or do we come across them naturally by progressing through the quests?

[neat hound]

Anyone wanna party for act 2? 😅

[haughty niche]

Trial of the sehkimas. Somewherebin act 2

[storm patio]

whaat does this do?

[inland sentinel]

#2┃looking-for-group

[edgy timber]

tried to find one on the trade site but there wass none for dex

[ebon moss]

If a projectile hits a wall or some other terrain, there's a chance it then chains to an enemy. There's a support gem, Ricochet, that also gives that effect.

I forgot. completing the molten vault only rewards reforging bench right?

[vernal tundra]

Question I have a unique piece of helmet and I wanted to add a couple of rune slots to it but it only allowed for me to add one but some of my gear has 2 slots. New to the whole arpg so it may be something dumb I'm missing

[ebon moss]

Looks like also gives Uncut Skill Gem and 1k Gold

[dusky burrow]

helmets and most gear get one, 2h weapons and body armour get two

me smooth brain, me no reed

after reading legal documents for 3 hours, ijust wanna hit some stuff

[ebon moss]

I almost never read the quest descriptions or the quest items either. What do I do with all these golden statues clogging my inventory? Argh!

[cursive knoll]

if I get waystones I don't like I should reforge them right?

[arctic silo]

is the first trial of chaos hard?

[cursive knoll]

not really

[hushed pagoda]

can anyone help with Trial of Chaos? im just bad

[fiery bramble]

hey guys i accidentally sold the relics and i can't conplete the Ancient Vows quest anymore

[misty junco]

Question, how do I complete the ascent to power in cruel difficulty? I’ve ran the map 50 times and still not getting it completed,

[cursive knoll]

I had the same issue, someone told me to ignore it and come back at lv 70

[haughty niche]

Ignore it. Its not supposed to exist in cruel

[misty junco]

Thanks

[tacit knot]

[haughty niche]

maxroll's lvling builds are good

[tacit knot]

Im awful still in act 3, any od these ud advice?

Or doesnt matter

[sick hornet]

Guys im using a lvling build from maxroll as a mage, but im only level 23 switching from my own personal build. Idk what skills to prioritize since i have limited skill points, and im worried about accidentally making myself worse. https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/58ffh03r Which skills do i focus on?

[boreal stirrup]

for trial of chaos, do i have to complete all 10 rounds to get the 2 ascendency points?

[nocturne cargo]

in act 2 cruel my ascent to power quest is stuck at searching traitors passage does anyone know why?

[haughty niche]

theres like a 90% chance you make yourself worse

[haughty niche]

ignore it it isn't supposed to exist in cruel

[sick hornet]

How do i avoid that?

[boreal stirrup]

wdym

[nocturne cargo]

ok thx

[haughty niche]

depends on how many you have laready

[haughty niche]

cant tell you

swapping builds entirely while levelling just doesn't work usually

unless the respec was planned from the start

[tacit knot]

Bipolar aee all fhe builds good and can i choose or would u advise one?

I love how they dumb it down

[haughty niche]

i havent looked at any of them. maxroll is just known for being good build source in poe

[shut abyss]

@sick hornet check this, looks about the same but with explanations https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/spark-archmage-stormweaver-leveling-guide

[primal edge]

how can i get the 4 socket for skills

[sick hornet]

Thanks!

[hushed pagoda]

can anyone help me with Trial of Chaos? i am struggling

[primal edge]

normal?

[hushed pagoda]

yes. i am bad lol.

[primal edge]

ign?

[inland sentinel]

It depends on what the build was imo

And what you’re rolling to

[sick hornet]

Cryomancer

[hushed pagoda]

mitigations - i'm a first time poe'er

[sick hornet]

Meta stormweaver

[hushed pagoda]

like i think im doing something wrong. im getting bodied

[inland sentinel]

If you have enough gold to respec shouldn’t be too bad of an issue

The issue is getting gems

[fast herald]

How do you get the Flame Wall skill as a Ranger? Do you need to get it as a level 1 skill? (due to the Intelligence requirement)

[inland sentinel]

It’s a sorceress skill

So you need a gem and required minimum int

[fast herald]

Is the int requirement lower if it's level 1? I Currently only have a level 2 gem and don't meet the requirement.

[inland sentinel]

Generally yes

But minimum is something like 16 int for lvl 1

[fast herald]

okay and that's for both learning and casting correct?

[inland sentinel]

Yes

[fast herald]

okay cool, this is helpful. Thanks.

[delicate solar]

Would anyone have a few extra support gems kicking around 🤔 I'm trying to get lightning infusion and long shot . My rng is awful today

[elfin widget]

Hey so i have a question. with the armor with the 602 evasion i have 100 Spirit. and with the other one i only have 84. and idea why?

[cursive knoll]

if I town portal back to town from a map, how long does that portal stay open if I dont go right back?

[vapid violet]

Monk? 1 of the ascendancies makes it so u get spirit based on the evasion and es on ur chest (but can't get it from other gear)

[elfin widget]

Oh. i just added rune and saw that it went up lol. ty

[vapid violet]

8ish mins

[cursive knoll]

ty

[elfin widget]

is it possible to remove rune from armor?

[vapid violet]

Nope, it's permanent

[sick hornet]

Ill be honest respeccing is a bit overwhelming. No builds tell me what support skills to use or anything, nothing has made me want to drop the game more than this

it jsut lists skills and then a picture of a skill tree

[thin oracle]

Anyone able to help me with rathbreaker cruel?

[haughty niche]

all good builds tell you what supports to use

[primal edge]

לא אח יקר

[elfin widget]

חחחחחחח יא גבר

[primal edge]

add me

[sick hornet]

They dont tell you what orbs you need, they dont tell u how to prioritize your points so every single build is only viable if you 1.) Have an intrinsic understanding of the game and the perk points or 2.) Are already max level.

[haughty niche]

give me an example

cause ALL builds ive seen do the things you say

[proven matrix]

I did something and now my windows taskbar doesnt go away when alt tab to game;/

[vapid violet]

Tried alt-enter to fullscreen it?

[sick hornet]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/spark-archmage-stormweaver-leveling-guide#faq-header

[proven matrix]

Yeah not working

[haughty niche]

this has plenty of info wdym?

[vapid violet]

May have to reset ur video settings then

[sick hornet]

It does not include any of the info I had mentioned

[sick hornet]

sure it lists out the names and photos of skills you need. But that tells me nothing as a somehwat new player. Oh you dont know that in order to get ember fusilage you need a level 4 support gem (different than a skill gem)? well tough shit

[proven matrix]

I did and its same xDD

[haughty niche]

this is very detailed.

[inland sentinel]

Tbh it’s much harder to follow guides in Poe 2 than 1 because Maxroll template look just about as bloated

[haughty niche]

theres LITERALLY a fucking priority list lol

[sick hornet]

It then lists support skills and no details on how to get them for all the spells.

[vapid violet]

Also maxroll website doesn't like some browsers (opera) and the mouse over details and slider bars sometimes don't work

[solemn flame]

what to take for an invoker monk?

[inland sentinel]

Yeah I use opera and actually didn’t see that

It’s hard without seeing a pob for those who are used to seeing that

[haughty niche]

100% i prefer pob

but just reading through this buildguide on maxroll, it has everything they are saying it doesnt

[trim turret]

All support gems come from uncut support gems.

[inland sentinel]

And spirit gems come from spirit gems but don’t make a wrong choice because they’re rare and your only 2 guaranteed drops are in act 1 and act 3

[sick hornet]

Then why cant i find "Arcane Tempo" anywhere

[haughty niche]

even the skill point order is there.

[inland sentinel]

Cut a support gem and then click all gems

Search for the support gem

[trim turret]

Dunno. Click all gems and use the search bar.

[sick hornet]

Yeah it didnt come up

[stuck plover]

for a merc grenade guild, what are the best ascendencies? I've seen builds use both the "judge, jury, executioner" and "no mercy" options.

[inland sentinel]

You sure it was a support gem?

[sick hornet]

first one listed

[haughty niche]

the headers matter

Skills gems are from uncut skill gems

support gems are from uncut support gems

This stuff is explained more ingame though, rather than in the guide

[silver sentinel]

What the heck is that error?

[glass turtle]

theres a cheese for that boss? xD

[haughty niche]

if you are on steam, consider verifying integrity of game cache

[glass turtle]

Thats what you get for cheesing

[unreal shoal]

should i go storm weaver or chronomancer?

[haughty niche]

stormweaver is definitely the more meta approach atm

I personally did chrono on my first character and regretted it

Its not a bad ascendency its just not as good

[stuck plover]

for a merc grenade guild, what are the best ascendencies? I've seen builds use both the "judge, jury, executioner" and "no mercy" options.

[haughty niche]

Specifically i didn't like how little cooldown skills there are for spells. I can't even think of any. So its pretty much impossible to make proper use of chronomancer's cooldown stuff.

[silver sentinel]

How is that cheesing? lmao just avoiding a mech

[meager galleon]

you can have both of those, you get a total of 8 points for ascedancy stuff in the end

[stuck plover]

which should I use for the first four points?

or doesn;t it make a big difference

[meager galleon]

witchbane is a little bit defensive

[stuck steeple]

guys i just created new char and my friend going to help to get my ascensions. can i have all of them unlocked via sekhemas?

[meager galleon]

everything else is just dmg

[meager galleon]

yes

afaik

[stuck plover]

Does the "no mercy" route make bosses easier? Bosses are where I'm having trouble

[candid cypress]

STUPID question, is the "solo self" greyed out (not acvtive) or is that just default color?

[smoky island]

What level do you need to be to do the 3rd ascendancy? I'm level 65 near the end of act 3 cruel. Is it a random drop to access it?

[meager galleon]

havent played it myself yet so cant say for sure, but it seems like reasonable choice for bosses

the judge jury path

is also like, first 5-30% and last 5% life of the boss dont exist

[bleak pivot]

Its a random drop in early maps but i recommend getting at least to lvl 75 before attempting it

[meager galleon]

but the no mercy route should also make it so bosses use their abilities less

[burnt junco]

Try making a non-ssf character and see for yourself

[meager galleon]

and 30% more dmg is solid

[stuck plover]

that should mean less one-shots 🙂

[patent gulch]

What other classes do people play with witch apart from minions

Not classes but builds

[meager galleon]

archmage stuff is quite strong afaik

with spark and stuff

seen also some silly fireball stuff

[frail prairie]

if i party up with a friend, to do trials, and we complete it, do we both complete it, and get accendent points??

[trim portal]

can i upgrade quality of my rings?

[meager galleon]

yes

you need catalysts for that

they upgrade a specific stat

[trim portal]

ahh okay thanks

[meager galleon]

you get catalysts from breach in the endgame (or from trade)

[patent gulch]

Can someone come help me kill rath breaker pls

about to give up on this act 2 boss 2nd phase crap

[ionic frigate]

Hello community ;D i have a question, what kind of jewels (for passive tree) are the best for witch hunter mf culler ?

[craggy gyro]

Having trouble obtaining better equipment in act two. My crossbow feels like I’m throwing sand at everything

[meager galleon]

thats not enough info, and it depends what you need

if you need dmg you just go for weapon and/or skill specific dmg mods

like % inc dmg with crossbows

ir % inc fire dmg

[proven matrix]

So trials are just for ascendancy or they are like endgame activity?

[meager galleon]

if you need defenses you might look for some other stats

[meager galleon]

you can farm them for loot

[ionic frigate]

i dont need dmg at all, because my build do not dmg ;d just thinking what can help for people in party or my buffs

[meager galleon]

not sure how good it is in endgame, (didnt try yet) but its the aim

i guess stuff like % increased Effect of Auras from your Skills

[trim turret]

Where are your support gems?

[whole ivy]

what are those

[meager galleon]

there are 3 types of gems
skill gems - give you buttons to do fancy stuff
support gems - buff the skill gems
spirit gems - permanent buffs

[trim turret]

The things that go in those empty slots next to each skill to improve and modify them. You get skills from uncut skill gems, and supports from uncut support gems. You have to have gotten some by now.

[meager galleon]

pretty sure there is one given in tutorial

and you are forced to use it

[whole ivy]

it adds shock so its useless

[meager galleon]

didnt you find any uncut support gems ?

you can make other support gems with that

[whole ivy]

ahh true

[verbal tree]

hi guys, whast the best way to farm 3-5 exalted orbs? im level 42 act 3 and too weak for the trial, want to get new gear with orb trading

[inland sentinel]

Are you following a build guide

Conduction goes with skeletal storm mages

[haughty niche]

kil monsters

[inland sentinel]

But that gem is like lvl 11

[trim turret]

Won't be if you're using the skeletal lightning mages. But either way support gems are a huge part of your build.

[whole ivy]

I looked at some but I am not really following a specific one

[royal monolith]

Need help with Iktab

[clever void]

Start playing today, sorcerer, I'm lv20 but I'm not sure where to find and use the best build for leveling, can someone who understands the class help me? I have doubts about using a shield to block or focus

[verbal tree]

thanks for the tip 😄
I mean are there regions where it makes more sense to farm or have higher chances

[royal monolith]

Ikbab

[haughty niche]

nope

especially not in campaign

[inland sentinel]

Are you going Infernalist

[whole ivy]

I wanted minion build

[royal monolith]

Need help with ikbab

[proven matrix]

Failed my trials, that boss is really boring

How to enter again?

[inland sentinel]

Ok, try these:
flame wall - arcane tempo - fortress
Raging spirits - fire infusion - bullseye
Arsonists - scattershot - martial tempo
Skeletal warrior - brutality - last gasp

[haughty niche]

if this isn't the quest barya or ultimatum, then you need to just get lucky and have another drop

[noble lynx]

THANK YOU GGG! Realized I've played forever without a after death effect screwing me. Thanks much. My enjoyment lvl doubles without deaths I feel there was no control over

[stable kiln]

what runes would be good? flickerstrike herald of ice and thunder monk

[inland sentinel]

The first one?

[proven matrix]

Yeah

[ripe owl]

I'm experiencing extremely bad server lag. Just me?

[haughty niche]

try switching gateways?

[drowsy wing]

Can you replace socketed runes with other runes?

[inland sentinel]

You can retry that one over and over again until you finish it

[lost talon]

this game is good but damn bosses are really hard if you a new beginner in poe 2

[haughty niche]

you can change your default gateway befoew charater select

[ripe owl]

Oh. Didn't know. Thanks

[haughty niche]

the bosses are weird. Act 1-3 bosses are very difficult. Then after that it just gets easier and easier until many builds kill them within a few seconds

[ripe owl]

Not seeing an option for it on ps5

[haughty niche]

oh unsure how thats done on ps5.

[ripe owl]

Fair. I'll try restarting console. Who knows; might work.

[halcyon tree]

Cruel feels like easy mode compared to normal 😅

[haughty niche]

char select screen -> options -> game -> is it there?

thats what some post said for ps5

[proven matrix]

So which one I cant?

[ripe owl]

I'll double check when back in

Sorry for the newbie questions. Thank you

[inland sentinel]

The first trial

You can repeat it over and over the coin doesn’t disappear

Same thing for trial of chaos

But only the campaign quests

[haughty niche]

im hoping that was just last minute "balance" since they decided to drop work on act 4-6 only a few months ago to get some endgame done

[mental needle]

If the barya is green you get infinite tries

[ripe owl]

You are right!

[haughty niche]

cool

Try a different one with reasonable ping

Im canadian and have to use Washington instead of Canada east cause its more stable

[ripe owl]

I was trying to do the the first trial while randomly freezing, lol

[clever void]

Start playing today, sorcerer, I'm lv20 but I'm not sure where to find and use the best build for leveling, can someone who understands the class help me? I have doubts about using a shield to block or focus

[drowsy wing]

Good place to farm a bit of gold around lvl 55?

[haughty niche]

your highest monster lvl area you can kill stuff in

[flint wind]

can you still farm that rare bug? or was that fixed

[ripe owl]

Lag gone \○/

[frank sonnet]

block is extremely good, especially if you get increased block chance on the shield. Focus gives you damage stats for the most part although it can have energy shield, a shield can have life so it's pretty even

[proven matrix]

Ok I see, is the coin for other trials like random drop or something?

[inland sentinel]

Tbh there are very little guides that can let you switch on the fly at lvl 20

[mental needle]

Which act? Usually just kill stuff, but if you need gold without levelling there are a couple treasure rooms.

[agile junco]

anyone got tips on how to get my monk less squishy ?

[mental needle]

It's pretty dead

[inland sentinel]

What did you level with so far?

[frank sonnet]

as for builds they're pretty interchangeable, it's like "cold spells" and "lightning spells"

[flint wind]

in general rares give the most gold so maybe a map where you find lots of rares if that helps lol

[haughty niche]

Energyshield/Evasion are near monk on tree. Should be reasonable options.
Also invoker has an incredibly defensive node that gives PDR for evasion, while chayula monk has some wierd thing that uses spirit as a defensive layer

[agile junco]

im an invoker

[clever void]

What build do you recommend I follow from now on, to level quickly without suffering so much?

[agile junco]

but my energy shiel is only like 120

but i havent started trading for good gear yet so maybe thats why

[inland sentinel]

What have you got so far?

Very few changes can be done with some exceptions

[mental needle]

What level are you?

[agile junco]

52

[clever void]

lv 21, beginning of act 2, but I feel like I die a lot sometimes

[primal edge]

can somone help me with the titan on act 2 cruel?

[mental needle]

How much life? Evasion? Resists? Can we see a pic of your character sheet?

[agile junco]

yeah ill send it rn

[inland sentinel]

What skill gems and supports are you using, I mean?

[trim hinge]

Any tips for the traitor act 2 with the poison? Idk if I'm missing something but I just can't get around the fog and always die.

[flint wind]

you should be quite strong
dont forget too check all rares you pick up and id them in town.

alos take new skills and try combos with them, monk has excellent interaction between them fort big damage

[craggy gyro]

how do you deal with the chicken boss in trial of chaos ? every time i try after a while red shit starts to fall on me, following me and its impossible to run away and i get killed in seconds. i just dont know what the play is here

[mental needle]

You have to find her in the poison and it will stop. Run around the edge until you see her.

[flint wind]

thats the neat part
you dont that tarnodo is a death sentence

i personnally finished my first trial only becasue i got another boss then that one

[clever void]

I use this

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/asmodeus-leveling-archemage

[flint wind]

that looks quite solid

[clever void]

But...I don't know if it's good

[frank sonnet]

not sure what red shit falling on you is, but that is the hardest boss of the 3 in there for sure

[craggy gyro]

its not the tornado boss, thats the bird. im having trouble with the chicken boss you know with the beak and shit

[proven matrix]

Hmm should I run scepter and shield on witch?

[inland pine]

Hi! anyone knows if the dmg buff on hit from this passive count on every slowed enemy or only with hinder debuff?
thx a lot

[flint wind]

arent chicken birds?

but yeah i think i know what you mean. i personnally never had trouble with that one so sadly cant help

[trim hinge]

Ah thank will try.

[inland sentinel]

I think it’s the blood vines that attach to you and hinder your movement

But yeah afflictions make the boss significantly worse

[frank sonnet]

could be the blood orbs that follow you as well I guess

[primal edge]

can i get help with titan grotto boss, act 2 cruel

[frank sonnet]

but yeah those aren't boss abilities, pay attention to the afflictions you choose

[mental needle]

Ok yeah that is incredibly squishy. I see you took the energy shield wheel, but that only helps if your gear has energy shield on it. You also have no evasion. Are you picking up gear and looking at the merchant inventory.

[agile junco]

nah not yet my gear rn kinda sucks

[mental needle]

It is a boss ability, the scourge bird drops corpses from the sky

Or smth like that

My only advice is do not roll, do not use abilities, just run

[frank sonnet]

kinda weird tree. Why would you take crit nodes and then pass up 70% increased damage for 3 points in the Deadly Force part of the tree?

[agile junco]

i was following an end game build ngl

[polar leaf]

is this gonna work for shatter monk?

i mean the dmg increase (ice strike/tempest bell)

[flint wind]

1 great mods2 ok ones pretty solid jewel
and if you have muöltiple exalts later on you can slam it for maybea second great mod

[polar leaf]

is it better than this?

[narrow knoll]

What bow should i be running as a lvl 52 lightning deadeye?

have no idea what i should be upgrading.

[trim turret]

Do you need a sceptre for your build? Generic questions like that don't mean much.

[flint wind]

around the same i would say

[agile junco]

you got a good build that i can follow?

[mental needle]

You should be checking the merchant every level up. Look for good energy shield, life and resistance affixes. Pick up evasion/es blues and yellows off the ground and I'd them, hell if you have transmutes pick up white ones and transmute augment them. If you get good mods, regal it.

[mental needle]

Imo the first is better unless you really need the mana. Blind is decent defense

[mental needle]

Typically you want the +1 arrow base... Dualstring I believe.

[proven matrix]

Yeah actually I should have scepter and shield lol

[trim turret]

Well there ya go. Sceptres are very minion oriented.

[proven matrix]

Build is for witch so minions needed

[hexed root]

i thought wand and focus is better

[frank sonnet]

witch doesn't automatically mean minions

[mental needle]

Not for summoner

[frank sonnet]

generally speaking, focus has more damage and a shield is more defensive, although that's not universal

[proven matrix]

Build is based on minions

[frank sonnet]

alright then

[timid coral]

do all bosses have some lightning res? in other words, should i use conductivity on all bosses or be selective?

[trim turret]

It can't hurt, but enemies have symbols under their health bar that show what they're resistant/weak to.

[fresh heart]

WHY I CANT BUY F*CKING RING FOR FEW HOURS? PEOPLE JUST IGNORE TRADE WHISPERS. BUT WHY THEY ARE USING TRADE WEBSITE IF THEIR PLAN TO IGNORE PEOPLE?

[timid coral]

hmm ok. i mean it hurts in the sense that it's time and apm, so i kinda wanted to know for sure

i know some say they are lightning resistance or wtv, but that's rpetty rare from what i've seen

[trim turret]

Can always automate the curse somehow.

I might run cast on ignite flammability.

[timid coral]

hmmm but that would mean i would have to be casting my sparks while aiming at the boss at all times no?

[trim turret]

Well theres also blasphemy which turns your curse into an aura. There are usually multiple solutions to a problem, just gotta figure out the one that works best for you.

[ripe owl]

Is ascendancy locked in stone or can you respec it?

[dark talon]

Can you respec Ascendency Points just as easily with the hooded one?
In case I wanna try out Pyromantic Pact or Demon Form?
Also

Doing a Minion build as an Infernalist. I've already taken the Hellhound with my first two points.
I got additional 2 points, what should I pick?

[trim turret]

Can change nodes but can't swap ascendancies entirely right now.

[ripe owl]

Thank you

[dark talon]

How to change nodes?

[dawn sandal]

so I just do this and it will be on website trade ?

[ripe owl]

I think I'll go deadeye then. Not into poisons, and am lacking single target damage

[clear vine]

what area do you get the spirit in act 3 cruel?

[trim turret]

Should just be hooded one.

[real dragon]

Hello, I started the game a few days ago...
First time ever on PoE

The act 1 was really cool I was having a blast, but I started the act 2 at around level 20 ( did every quests & bosses in the act 1 map ) killed everything on my way but no matter how hard I try I can't kill a main story boss ( First the engineer girl with a one shot swing I needed ages for her ) and now the Jamanra dude is here with infinite health bar... I mean I feel like im doing no damages but only against bosses since packs of enemies aren't a pb at all..

And then I take 2 hits and die like a shit cuz character is way too slow for... A reason I suppose ?
No matter lightning resistance I get deleted even with 400hp and following spells/skills from a build supposed to take advantage of flame wall and raging spirit

I don't know what I should look for

[dark talon]

Even for ascendency points? Is it expensive? What does it cost?

[trim turret]

I have no idea, click on him and find out.

[mental needle]

ascendancy points cost a lot more than normal ones

just depends on ur level

[dark talon]

But does it cost money or other resources is what I am asking

[clear vine]

what area do you get the spirit in act 3 cruel?

[mental needle]

Gold, strictly gold

[empty oak]

If I equip Electrocute, I assume Conduction won't work with it?

[topaz junco]

same areas as normal

[trim turret]

Life and resists but it's hard to give more advice without more build info. If you're running raging spirits as your damage dealers, are you putting points into minion damage? How's your gear/weapon? What skills and supports are you using?

[trim turret]

Correct. Cannot always wins.

[dark talon]

I have 2 skill points to spend after picking Infernal Hound as a Minion Build Infernal Witch.
Which nodes should I go for?
Demonform or Pyromantic Pact?

[empty oak]

Ok So I'll have to switch out Conduction, ty.

[mental needle]

We don't know your build to say

[young parcel]

makes perfect sense giving debuffs of 25% movement speed and packing two bosses that aoe and they're all the time glued to each other... while saying "ah yes melee is hard in trials and we'll make it better" better in what...?

[flat juniper]

guys, I got the audience with the king key, but I don't have currency for it, do I just defer the item and leave the map and that's it?

[dark talon]

I am going for Minion Dmg and Cast speed. What is that build called?

[real dragon]

I don't have lot of choice gear wise, I pick what has more armour/lightning res just to TRY to survive but I don't drop that much things mainly things with 12armor & no elemental res lol
And I use those spells mainly

[mental needle]

#2┃after-acts-help but yes

[fluid grove]

what are the twig focus for?

[mental needle]

I don't know, sounds like a summoner to me.

[clear vine]

wait whats your problem just seen this?

[stable kiln]

whats the best lootfilter right now?

[dark talon]

Does also apply for my minions?

[dark talon]

Ok, what would Summoner pick then?

[clear vine]

no

[dark talon]

I got two more to spend

[topaz junco]

what do you mean

[clear vine]

it has to specifically say minions

[mental needle]

Typically summoenr builds take the left side of the tree in the infernalist ascendancy. Definitely not demon form because you will lose your sceptre

[trim turret]

Why only one support gem on each skill?

[fluid grove]

there is an item called twig focus im playing a ranger can i use it for anything?

[real dragon]

I don't have more support skill thingies

[mental needle]

the leftmost node there is really good defense and then you can turn your life into spirit later

[dark talon]

I would lose my weapon? I don't use my weapon at all right now tbh

[topaz junco]

no, you dont have to pick it up, its just an item you can equip

[trim turret]

I'm looking at one in your inventory.

[fluid grove]

k

[mental needle]

do you have a sceptre?

[dark talon]

Yes for spirit

[trim turret]

You want the spirit a sceptre is presumably giving you.

[mental needle]

it's not a matter of bonking things with it, it gives you spirit and you will lose all of that spirit when you go demon form

[real dragon]

Yup but I don't have many options to put, everything is greyed out I only have things like " Deal less damages but lasts longer " or " Give you a lil bit of energy recharge when stunned "

[stable kiln]

what are the best lootfilters right now?

[dark talon]

Thanks guys

I got a lvl 10 spirit gem.
Do I upgrade Raging Spirit to lvl 10 or do I pick another different one?

[mental needle]

There is no best, it depends on your requirements. For a new player in the campaign Neversink has a litefilter that doesn't hide much, it will do fine for ya

[dark talon]

How do I see what I get when I upgrade a Spirit Gem?
This doesn't tell me anything

[topaz junco]

yes minion tooltips are bugged right now

[trim turret]

Uncheck the "recommended" box. It'll show you ALL supports compatible with those skills. Beyond that, look for gear with life and resists, salvage/disenchant/sell for resources, don't be afraid to use those resources, and if you're running a minion build, make sure youre focusing on minion stats.

[topaz junco]

just pick a gem, you'll find more as random drops

[dark talon]

Spirit Gems seem very very very rare though

[topaz junco]

no they arent

[desert sedge]

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

[dark talon]

Ok, so for a Minion Build Infernalist Witch (Summoner?) -
Do I upgrade my Raging Spirit Gem or do I pick another one?

[lament stone]

spirit gems are pretty rare

[mental needle]

Beware the jumpscare

[topaz junco]

I've found like 10 per map

[trim turret]

Best to rip the bandaid off.

[lament stone]

for the campaign, especially low level ones

[arctic silo]

Hi, maybe stupid question but what res are the main ones for trial of chaos? I have trial for level 38, I have lvl 41, decent dmg and I can't get through the second room.

[mental needle]

Every time you get more spirit you get a spirit gem so I would say upgrade the raging spirits

[real dragon]

Okay i'll check that because last time I tried salvage I couldn't salvage anything for another reason that I im not aware of lol

[trim turret]

There isn't one in particular. All resists are important. Maybe chaos slightly less since it doesn't take the hit each act.

[dark talon]

So lets pretend I only have 1 now.
Do I upgrade Raging Spirit to lvl 10 as a Minion Build Infernalist Witch (Summoner?) from 7.
Or do I pick another?

[dark talon]

Ok

[frank sonnet]

trial of chaos, you need all of them. Damage is still king, cos if it's dead, it can't attack you

[trim turret]

Can only salvage items with quality or sockets, but being able to add both to gear is really helpful. Runes are a good source of resists on gear.

[mental needle]

3 levels is a big deal... presumably, not sure since spirits are bugged tooltip right now lol

[dark talon]

I hope the upgrades for Raging Spirit gem from 7 to 10 is good and not like +1 dmg or something hehe.

[lament stone]

do you want your raging spirits to have higher stats? or does one of the other gems available offer something very good for you?

[dark talon]

hehe but do we know that they perform better?

[dark talon]

I have no issue with survavbility, and I solved my mana issue.
My current issue is essentially single target boss dmg.. as usual.

[azure lava]

you try that weapon swap vine arrow yet? (:

[dark talon]

I was thinking these alternatives:
Having a Fire Curse aura is really good for reducing fire resistance from bosses

[dark talon]

Don't wanna do weapon swaps, lol.

[azure lava]

they're so easy, you can make it automatically swap when you use the skill

[mental needle]

60 spirit is a lot to spend on a curse you can cast yourself

[azure lava]

you don't need to press X to swap

[mental needle]

also you may not even be in range for blasphemy msot of the time

[dark talon]

Too early for me to get into that sorta thing, appreciate it though

[dark talon]

Ah that's a good point with the range.

[lament stone]

why would you use vine arrow? poison build?

[azure lava]

They use ED and contagion, I thought

[dark talon]

Ok, I'll upgrade Raging Spiritthen since that's what everybody is recommending.

[arctic silo]

These are my current res. I know that I need to get some chaos res but don't know if it'll do the work. My dmg is also decent without any buffs I think. The problem is that I need to dodge constantly, there is time to attack maybe twice before dodge. In the second room it's not enough, after few seconds there is a lot of monsters and I just can't dodge more.

[lament stone]

does that work? isnt that just chaos dot not poison?

[azure lava]

vine arrow is also chaos dot

vine arrow does base chaos dot that you can enhance via poisoning it

so even without poison it's still just another non-ailment chaos dot you can layer on top

[lament stone]

yea thats the part i was thinking about

i thought it was pure poison, i guess not

[ripe owl]

Just a recommendation question. I know to spend my 300 coins on stash tabs...

But Im stuck between:

1 currency, 1 quad, 1 premium

Or:

6 premium, 1 currency

[gusty cave]

do the quad if you're between those two

[mental needle]

If you're set on trading soon I say 1 premium, 1 currency and then wait for the sale to buy any more

[gusty cave]

and use the quad as your dump/trade tab

[mental needle]

sale in two weeks or so

[ripe owl]

Oh ok. Didn't know about sale. And thank you both

[noble lynx]

Just fully qualitied a gelid staff only to find damage numbers the same. What's that about?

[mental needle]

the quality just upgrades the quality of the skill gem the staff grants natively

so in this case ice shards I believe

[noble lynx]

Still 247 dps though on freezing shards

[mental needle]

Press alt while hovering freezing shards, see what the quality does

it may not be damage

could be freeze build or something

[lament stone]

quality is bugged on caster weapons atm

doesnt do anything

[noble lynx]

Oh damn. Mabey retroactively once they fix it then I hope

[frigid smelt]

How do people sell djinn barya when its solo? I dont get it

[mental needle]

You can do them in co-op

[azure lava]

you can also just sell the djinn baryas as items

[frigid smelt]

ah didnt know you can enter together with party. ty 😄

[hardy bramble]

How can I see if I have taken Lightning Resistance quest with my character? I can't see it on the map for some reason. It's supposed to be in spires of deshar but the map doesn't indicate on it in any way. But then again in act 1 it does indicate it with the picture shown.

[ancient turtle]

Is it possible to get 4 encounters in one map?

[frank sonnet]

pretty sure it gets added once you pick it up? not sure. It's for clicking the shrine anyway so you could just go do it if you're not sure

[hardy bramble]

Oh, so it would show me if I had taken it?

[frank sonnet]

I think so?

[hardy bramble]

aight i need to check it out, thanks

[azure lava]

it is indicated. It's the letter to the lower left that's hard to see

[hardy bramble]

Nope, that's different

[azure lava]

this?

[hardy bramble]

THAT

[azure lava]

the barely-visible thing between the waypoints

it's in your screenshot, too

[hardy bramble]

WOOOOOW

[hardy bramble]

Am I blind or what lmao0

[azure lava]

no that's very very hard to see

[mental needle]

nah that shit has its camo on

[silver geyser]

a ton of people miss it

i did

[haughty niche]

The map icons and alt-details on items could definitely be a lot better visibility-wise

[hardy bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/john-cena-gif-18222477

[sinful ivy]

I just started mapping idk ehat I have to do I just need to kill everything?

[haughty niche]

It took me like a week before i reliased they didnt remove the tiers / prefix/suffix text when holding alt. Its just almost invisible for whatever reason

[mental needle]

#2┃after-acts-help

[real dragon]

Well i ended up putting everything in my stash & deleted my witch

Gonna try sorc

[storm patio]

is there a jewel that can increaase area effect of attacks?

[haughty niche]

rubies can roll area of effect from 5-10% pretty sure

[patent gulch]

What are exalted orbs used for

[mental needle]

Short answer, yes. Long answer you can see all the mods here https://poe2db.tw/us/Jewels#JewelMods

to add an affix to a rare item

they're also the gold standard for player trading

[patent gulch]

How to farm them

[mental needle]

Kill things

[patent gulch]

Can I craft in this poe?? Need to find gear with increased drip chance

[mental needle]

Not deterministically

[frank sonnet]

it's a relatively common drop, the more you play and bosses you kill, the more you will accumulate

[inland sentinel]

Adding mods to rares

Random slams

[gilded sierra]

anyone need boss help?

[inland sentinel]

#2┃looking-for-group

[gilded sierra]

gotcha

[hollow harness]

Does item rarity bonus on gear effect the chances of finding Divine Orbs?

[mental needle]

yes

it can upgrade currency, that is considered a boon of rarity

[primal edge]

is there any way to get more ex orbs? without grind for 10h a day

[mental needle]

grind for 14 hours a day

play the market

[muted patrol]

So I have 10 atlas skill points now, on tier 6 maps quest and i have a bunch of lost towers discovered...
haven't seen a single precursor tablet that goes in the towers, how do i get them, when do they start dropping?

[inland sentinel]

Grind a lot, sell items, liquidate your other currencies

[inland sentinel]

#2┃after-acts-help

[mellow ore]

When will cosmetics from poe1 come to poe2? ig i had some that i dont remember buying

[frank sonnet]

the more you play, the more loot you get obviously. You can spend that time or more or less productive activities and make more or less, and playing with rarity gear helps

[muted patrol]

please, i cant get an answer there

[primal edge]

i grind , but dont have a time for grind every day for 10 h , so its kinda hard to upgrade my items

[muted patrol]

been looking for an answer for over an hour

just somone tell me how it works

google wont

[inland sentinel]

If no one can answer that means there is no one that knows

[sage token]

guys how do i level up my herald buff?

[inland sentinel]

No answer is better than misinfo

[primal edge]

yea, i'm trying to upgrade my mf , but i dont have enough time or ex-orbs to do that

so its kinda hard for me to get better loot , and upgrade my items

[mental needle]

it's literally just drop luck @muted patrol

precursor tablets drop anywhere, league tablets drop from their league content

[primal edge]

half of my items still low level when i'm level 60

[vagrant anchor]

Wait till you get the point you need divines to upgrade your gear, lol.

[primal edge]

nuh uh

leme upgrade my level 8 gloves first plesae

[mental needle]

wait til you get to the point you need mirors to upgrade your gear, lol

pick up every glove u see

that you can equip

upgrade will happen

[primal edge]

you belive me

that

[sage token]

anyone know how to upgrade heralds?

[primal edge]

i didnt find a good glove for my class once.

[mental needle]

Like their level, or what?

[sage token]

yeah

[frank sonnet]

if you're level 60 the only thing you need to do is keep playing and advancing in the camapaign and then in maps

[sage token]

mine is sitting at level 4

[primal edge]

yeah i'm trying , its just hard af becuse my gear is not the best that i can have for now

[vagrant anchor]

Do

(1) the dreadnought with 30-50 rareity, should get some ex from that.

(2) same with the act 3 furnace run

(3) same with the twins in deshar

Should get an ex every 2 to 3 hours.

Average

[ripe owl]

Damn... can't even get Jemanra to half.... my build sucks or I do

[mental needle]

Need a spirit skill gem

[lament salmon]

life recovery from flasks or increased charm charges gained? necro

[ripe owl]

Jamanra*

[primal edge]

appricate it , now leme get 30-50 rarity xD

[mental needle]

charm if ur ES, life if ur life

[inland sentinel]

First phase or second phase?

[lament salmon]

no idea. i am infernalist necro not sure what they do at end game

[ripe owl]

Didn't know there was a second phase... well then....

[sage token]

i have never seen that in my life am i just unlucky im already at act 3

[vagrant anchor]

Spend an ex or 2 for helm and or ammy with it in trade .

[mellow ore]

my tanking character cant tank in the trials of sekhemas

[mental needle]

Is it jamanra the king or jamanra the abomination?

[frank sonnet]

assuming you're talking about the fight in the dreadnaught and not the battlements, yeah he has 2 phases. Personally I found the second phase much easier

[primal edge]

you got smth , so i can give it to you will make my life easier

[ripe owl]

Abomination

[arctic silo]

What is a decent dmg on skill on +/- 40 lvl? I'm trying to do the first trial of chaos and I'm getting furious, it's undoable for me. I'm playing monk invoker. I have 50% on every res, 1,5k dmg on storm wave and tempest flurry and I can't get past lvl 4. Almost every bigger mob oneshots me. And I can't dodge everything where there is a lot of monsters.

[gleaming mural]

how does a warcry do damage (increase attack power with warcries) or does it mean the next attack i do does more damage?

[somber yoke]

can somebody help me with linking my ccounts its saying i cant direct whisper people is thast because i havent linked my acc or am i not high enough lvl im level 21

[frank sonnet]

how much life / es?

[mental needle]

Yeah he's tanky for some builds

[mental needle]

Can you show the node you're looking at

[arctic silo]

911/145

[mental needle]

because there are two dfferent stats

[drowsy wing]

On the trade site why do some people list things worth like 10 divs for 1 exalt?

[mental needle]

price fixers, weirdos, bots

[drowsy wing]

They wont actually sell for that low right?

[frank sonnet]

you could stand to have a little more but yeah it should be ok? it's probably the afflictions you're choosing buffing the mobs too much

[azure lava]

if it's referring to the power of the warcry, that effect is different for each warcry. This is what it does for infernal cry:

if you're referring to damage of empowered attacks, that's separate

[mental needle]

No they won't sell them to anyone, they just put them there for if people try to price check the item, if they aren't attentive they will list it for 1 ex. The fixer will try to scoop it up for cheap and flip it for profit.

[drowsy wing]

Ah

scummy

[brittle crown]

are gloives 15 % enhanced attack and +105 accuracy rating good or worth anything?

[tacit kernel]

New player here. Is the archer the best for me?

[azure lava]

compared to what?

also #price-check📉

[mental needle]

if you like archers, yes

[haughty niche]

not particularly special. use em if they are the best stuff you have

[azure lava]

all classes can use all skills and gear. If you like witches, the witch might be best for you

[vagrant anchor]

Just use the trade site. Look for crown of the pale king cultist crown, and an ammy with rarity and any res.

2 ex for about 20 to 30 rarity.

[pseudo glade]

How do i get Blueflame Bracers

[ebon hamlet]

where can I farm or get the barya or the other one for my other 4 asc points

[frank sonnet]

it's a random drop, just have to keep playing, or people sell them

[mental needle]

totally random drop
