[scarlet magnet]

oh see the answer up there

[fading tusk]

It can stop it from lvling? I vaal orb 1 before n it let me lvl it

[storm patio]

ty guys

[dusty sedge]

Hey, just unlocked Deadeye Ascendancy and is wondering which ascendancy skill to take.

[scarlet magnet]

from what i understand it doesnt allot it to level up

but if you have it to 20% quality its a big risk

[dusty sedge]

Between Gathering Winds or one of the proximity skills

[scarlet magnet]

you could end up with a 20% skill that has 2 slots

could also not do anything, at thus point i would recommend either saving to buy a greater jewel orb or farming for one

but if you are not clearing maps you probably would be fine without the 4th slot for now

[fading tusk]

Ty

[scarlet magnet]

np

[mental needle]

Most people take tailwind, but the damage is ok if you're struggling to kill bosses/rares.

for reference on the far shot you have to basically be most of your screen away from the target you're hitting for full effect

[brittle oracle]

hey i just got my buddy set up on xbox (im on pc) but hes telling me there isnt a social tab and when i add his characters name as a friend it adds a lvl 91 person that definitely isnt him, is there a crosssplay setting or something?

i know its supported because i did it with my son, but iim not at home so i dont have an xbox to figure it out

[lusty hinge]

You sure you're adding the correct ign?

[muted quiver]

anyone have a goldrim fel cap, idol of uldrum, or levinstone. lvl 24 and under i could have/trade

[lusty hinge]

yes, https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/

[brittle oracle]

is it case sensitive?

the ign

[lusty hinge]

Probably

[brittle oracle]

wow

[bitter ingot]

Is freeze ranger a thing?

[dusky burrow]

yeah

[brittle oracle]

ok thatdidnt work, how can i add him as a friend via his account name?

[lusty hinge]

you need ign, not account name, unless xbox works differently

[river zephyr]

Anyone had it where they can't travel to keth before

[brittle oracle]

welp, apparently tere are 2 MOOOP in game

[muted quiver]

no one is accepting. thats why im asking here.

[dusky burrow]

sort by recently listed

and increase minimum price if you want a quick response

[marsh shoal]

Can someone let me know what this means

missing Socketed skill

[night pike]

is elec ranger the best way? been doing a ranger with lightning rod and a crossbow to proc them but i want to change it up maybe

[dusky burrow]

it triggers stuff socketed in it

there seems to be no skill gems socketed within

[marsh shoal]

Do you mean supported skill gems?

[scarlet magnet]

actual skill gems

anything that says cast on whatever needs actual skills to trigger when the threshold or conditions are met

so instead of a support gem you add an actual skill to it using a skill gem

[fallow plover]

Hey everyone, I’m brand new to poe, any tips for Monk?

[marsh shoal]

OHHH

Got it

thanks

[regal jewel]

Anyone around to nuke Forgemaster for me? Keep leaving him at a quarter

[ashen bane]

thats not true, you can still level it up as normal, so it's not a big risk to try getting additional socket/level

[warm sparrow]

Is there a good way to come across a low level support gem with increased odds? I haven't seen one in about 5 hours of playing.

[dusky burrow]

why do you want a low level one

[scarlet magnet]

im down

[ashen bane]

level 3 support allows you to grab any support, its not necessary to anything

[dusky burrow]

higher level uncuts are strictly better

[ashen bane]

for normal gems it isnt true sadly

[warm sparrow]

It's only for the first tier of passives and Ii only just got to act 2

[regal jewel]

Same name in game

[scarlet magnet]

yeah

[ashen bane]

drops randomly, and you get them sometimes from optional events in location, just keep playing the game i suppose

[warm sparrow]

Word

[regal jewel]

Thanks man

[storm frigate]

my buddy got banned randomly is there a way to contact support the only thing i could find was a email

[scarlet magnet]

np

[fringe imp]

So me and my brother just got into act 2 and were are useless. Like we are fighting for our lives trying to stay alive and not to mention some of the bosses are just so tanky. We don't know how to farm xp so we're stuck trying to kill the titan boss. Could some1 offer a little advice

[scarlet magnet]

build on your resistances

you dont need to max them out but just have some

makes surviving anything thats not a physical attack easier

[zealous osprey]

Try to path towards useful notables (big circles) on the skill tree
Taking too many small nodes will not help as much

[scarlet magnet]

also maybe try to level up your gear to better fit your build

like try to see what you wanna build and play

and have ur build and passive tree match that

[fringe imp]

Upgrade armor or find better armor?

[ripe marlin]

What’s the problem

[zealous osprey]

This ofc depends on your build, but I'm assuming you're going in blind

[scarlet magnet]

finding better is easier at times

a lot of what i see too is people using low level weapons for melee classes

[ripe marlin]

Why are mob’s doing this

[fringe imp]

I went mercenary

[scarlet magnet]

if you fo basic attacks you wanna uograde your weapon or change ot have better stats

make sure you also focus on one damage type

[ripe marlin]

Ok kool why bother somebody when they just trying to play the game

[fringe imp]

As in 1 elemental type?

[sullen yacht]

i run pathfinder poison gas build , i wonder why my elemental quiver provide better damage than physical quiver

[ripe marlin]

I’m ok I haven’t asked for help why

[scarlet magnet]

could be elemental or physical

whats ever damage type you do you want to have a weapon that buffs it through its stats

and your passive tree needs yo build into that damsge type too

[fringe imp]

Oh as in like 3-8 lighting damage

[solid wagon]

can anyone tell me how people are getting such high DPS numbers on their tooltips? the highest i can get my DPS to with lightning arrow on my deadeye is 51k and thats with full tailwind stacks built up - i see so many screenshots of ppl having almost 100k no tailwind stacks built

[scarlet magnet]

yeah and also you can have stats that give increase lightning damage

thats what you wanna look gor

[flint plume]

I don't know anything about Lightning Arrow deadeye, but the obvious guess would be that they have much better gear. I think you'd probably have to show more about your gear and character for anyone to explain how you could improve it

[fringe imp]

Is there a way to reroll on equipment? Or just upgrade a normal to magic

[scarlet magnet]

if your going lightning damage and mostly using lightning type skills or whatever

best way I have found for the early game is to find magic items with the stats you want

[flint plume]

No way to completely reroll it. Can remove mods with chaos or annul orbs and add mods with various things but not just reroll

[fallow plover]

Any tips for an Ice Monk?

[ripe marlin]

Come to chat and tell him what’s wrong with the bill shit tell me what’s wrong with the bill stop texting

[scarlet magnet]

and either add another stat if they only have one

[solid wagon]

hmm - i have a 500 DPS bow and am following fubguns LA build to the best of my ability

[scarlet magnet]

and then upgrade that to rare if you like the first 2 stats

[solid wagon]

just insane that this guy has like 120k dps on his LA

[scarlet magnet]

its cheap and helps a lot even in end game

[fringe imp]

Oh so how would I farm? I went to a area that was 2 levels below me and I got little to nothing xp

[scarlet magnet]

you farm weapons

or armor

not xp

[fringe imp]

Bosses?

Or just run around

[scarlet magnet]

just clear a couple maps or you can use the trade servers to buy gear

look for semi decent stuff that is cheap

but most times clearing a map with givr you good stuff for lower levels

like the game is mostly just a grind game

[ripe marlin]

I understand grinding games. I play old-school RuneScape a lot, bro just leave me alone.

[fringe imp]

Would farming a boss help?

[wanton vessel]

and rare mobs I think

[scarlet magnet]

would but not that good

[shrewd hazel]

when can i do third ascendency? im in second act in cruel difficulty but all my shit says it wouldnt give me any ascendency points?

[fringe imp]

I used my small brain to think for an example killing a mage boss would drop good mage gear

[scarlet magnet]

but uf you just redo a map with a boss

would be good but modt times you would take more time killing that boss than clearing the map again

nah its random

but some people say its based on your highest stat value

[wanton vessel]

do drops scale with your level or is the item level set to the area level?

[scarlet magnet]

which gives you more chances of that type of gear dropping but i cant say thats true

[scarlet magnet]

area level

[warm sparrow]

Are there any evasion skills like in poe1?

[fringe imp]

I went alot on my tree for like 12% damage using 2 handed weapons. Does that upgrade physical dmg only?

[shrewd hazel]

anyone know?

[scarlet magnet]

what uve seen is that going into a specific damage type works better than over all damage

[ripe marlin]

So what now

[topaz junco]

its a random drop from maps

[scarlet magnet]

level 65 up

thats when the token starts dropping

4 th is level 80 up

[ripe marlin]

Really are you talking about me to level up to 65?

[scarlet magnet]

need one that says 3 chamber for shekima

[fringe imp]

You so to aim for lighting damage ( or any other )

[shrewd hazel]

ok thanks 🙂

[scarlet magnet]

would be best if your doing lightjing build

[clever geode]

pretty sure this goes under build planning/after act help

[ripe marlin]

How how do you know my bill?

[topaz junco]

that was for someone else, did you need help?

[clever geode]

anyone can tell me for the 3rd and 4th point in acsend what should i add as a poison concoction?

[scarlet magnet]

you can buy it from the trade site

[fringe imp]

Ahhh okay sorry for the many questions 😅 would u recommend solo or duo? I feel like I don't get much loot duo and that everything in general is tougher

[ripe marlin]

I have no idea if you can buy anything from a trade site. I did everything by myself.

[scarlet magnet]

but believe me when i say thus it would be hard if you havent maxed your honor resistance

[ripe marlin]

I have not bought anything

[scarlet magnet]

solo cause the more people you have the more drops you share especially if your are the same builds

[clever geode]

If u got a friend then duo

[scarlet magnet]

no worries

[fringe imp]

I started with my brother but Act 2 really hit us

[clever geode]

If not
U can either
If u feel bored soloing then find a duo or more

[scarlet magnet]

but more people also gives better drop rarity chance

[clever geode]

If act 2 hits you
You might want to check your build or upgrade gears

Weapon changes things

[fringe imp]

We tried doing the trail. Got to the end and we did half his health in like 15minutes of just hitting him 💀

[clever geode]

U really got to look at your build/weapon

[fringe imp]

I think it mainly my weapon

[clever geode]

Dm me your build

And gears

[fringe imp]

Okay give me second to load it up

[clever geode]

👌

[fringe imp]

What would u like to see my weapon currently?

[sleek fjord]

anyone know what support gem this is?

[silver geyser]

vitality?

[west plume]

I'm not sure if I already got the Bog Witch +40 spirit from cruel, the icon on the map still has not dimmed - but when I go to fight the boss it doesnt spawn, is there anyway to check?

[maiden summit]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[lusty hinge]

then don't use it, mobility is decent, some people like fortress as well

[inland sentinel]

Icon is bugged out but it should have been received

[safe lance]

just check your total spirit

[silver geyser]

yeah, icon is bugged

[mental needle]

cannibalism 100%

[silver geyser]

100 total spirit from the campaign

[mental needle]

heal on kill

[inland sentinel]

Arcane tempo and fortress are good

[bitter hare]

how do you make rune slots on armors ?

[mental needle]

[inland sentinel]

Preference

[west plume]

gotcha thank you!

[frozen vapor]

How to finish act 1 boss ? I just die instantly

[atomic cloud]

Momentum can be used with Flicker Strike ? But the description says that teleportation doesn't count.

[old parcel]

something he is jumping in p1, You have to stay moving and roll when you see the damage zone of his jump.

[weak harness]

on the trade site is there an easy way to make search for lets say
100+ max mana
or
50+ max mana and 30+ mana regen

[frozen vapor]

Im slowly, so i just die @old parcel

[weak harness]

cold res help

what are you dying to?

[carmine veldt]

how much would this sell for?

[frozen vapor]

Just not enough damage and movement speed for me

[mental needle]

You can search for affixes and set minimums in stat filters

are you wanting something more sophisticated than that?

[weak harness]

yes

[weak harness]

i meant yes to this lol

like I want either 100max mana items for example

or 50 max mana but also 30 mana regen

if that makes sense

[placid pond]

When I came here to ask my question, I was looking for confirmation of my doubts and was told that it was not possible.
But I didn't believe it, so I went to test it myself, it still took me all my evening yesterday but I didn't waste my time because in the end it turned out that you Were all wrong.
There are talents where the damage increase is worded in different ways, but I understand that they can make incorrect inferences. Some are specific and others less so.
I would have preferred the answer to be something like "I think...", "maybe..." but I received several statements.

It's like dominoes, there are a lot of people who naively believe what they are told, and if everyone ends up saying it, everyone believes it. 🙄

[weak harness]

brother, context?.. lol

[patent nebula]

ma'am, this is a Wendy's

[cinder compass]

Dude Ive fighting a giant from act 2

[weak harness]

Okay

[placid pond]

excuse me, I don't understand

[patent nebula]

Me either

[weak harness]

He is joking because u just came here spewing all that without explaining what you are talking about.

[mental needle]

There is the if function but I've tried a few different ways and it doesn't seem to give the outcome we're seeking.

I am a bit trading stupid so someone else may know, but I'm not seeing how to do such a search

[weak harness]

Yea I tried it too without luck, thought maybe im just stupid

[stable kiln]

welp good to know that Lead me through Grace... rounds down 😔

[patent nebula]

I noticed this too. I just try to search for almost exactly what I want and the only extra function I'll tack on is "not". Because if I see a thorns mod, I'll scream

[stable kiln]

2 spirit short im gonna lose it

[weak harness]

weighted search is actually reallllllllly nice

if you are looking for anything that might be implicit for example

or if u are looking for lets say total dmg including elemental

[placid pond]

it doesn't matter then, you are free not to pay attention to it, I only write to those who do
@weak harness that's right, I didn't reference what I was talking about, I thought about doing so at first but afterwards I thought it was pointless as it's a pretty common problem, not just in path of exile, in life too.
and then there's the discord search bar, if you really want to know.

[mental needle]

Point is you came with no proof, just your isolated research and conclusions

[weak harness]

I was just pretty curious it sounded intriguing but u dont explain or show so u do u

[mental needle]

so you're just typing a paragraph for nothing

[weak harness]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[patent nebula]

I understand enough to get that you believed something you were told and then you tested it and found out the reality was different. That is life boo.

I just made a joke and if it didn't land with you, that's cool

[patent nebula]

I should try it. I kinda like hate scrolling through though lmaooo

[weak harness]

its not just about scrolling through, you will not find some stuff unless you do multiple searches

lets say you want to look for a ring with 30% fire res

if you just put 30% min as a filter, u will not find a ring that has 20% implicit + 20% mod

just as an example

[patent nebula]

Oh true

I don't search often but you make a good point

[weak harness]

yea and when gearing up and I just want general res for example, I put all res in weighted search and just do min 50% lets say

then I get all kind of combinations that add up to that

[placid pond]

@patent nebula it doesn't matter, excuse me if I misinterpret sometimes, I'm not English, and yes it's true I took it badly when I realized that someone had said stupid things to me
@weak harnessI was talking about the damage, the wording, frankly, if you look, you will find, I don't talk much on the discord.

With that, I wish you a good day, sorry for the inconvenience.
Sincerely.

[weak harness]

@patent nebula

like that for example

youll get all kind of results you would not get otherwise and way more filtered

[weak harness]

i love u too

[mental needle]

brother put every resist under the sun in there 😭

[patent nebula]

It makes sense. I'll have to try it next time :o

[weak harness]

haha yea was easy af to gear that way once I reached like lvl 60

because I just got good stuff overall then for the last 1-2 pieces I see that I miss mostly lightning res or something then Id be more specific

[patent nebula]

I just finished my gear for the next few levels/maps so I'm taking a trade break lolll. But when its upgrade time, I'll try the weighted thing. Seems pretty beneficial.

[mental needle]

it's the best way to set a minimum for total resist without restricting your search too much since there's no pseudo for poe2 trade

and the weight can be useful if you need to fix everything, but one more than the other

[weak harness]

yea I ddidnt play poe1 but i heard of psuedo, sounds so nice

[brisk lantern]

Pretty sure it's coming later

[storm patio]

no one selling briskwrap roahide coat? I don't see any on trade

[mental needle]

I see loads

go to bottom right of your search and hit clear then try again

[slate drum]

What stash tabs i should buy? And will it cost a lot? Im new and don’t have an huge budget (i won a key from a giveaway i dont have the 300 currency that they gave for free)

[wise kindle]

||idk about anyone else but Zalmarath, the Colossus boss is so freaking lame. hes not hard, just a moutain of health to chip at over time and the only thing that kills me are the flying things a little over half way though the fight. the boss himself is super easy to avoid and not be killed by but its just giving a boss a moutain of health to chip at and calling that a boss is lame||

[mental needle]

well what is the budget

also if you're working on a budget you should definitely wait until the sale in about 2 weeks.

[carmine veldt]

what happened to all my quests on the right?

I joined my friends instance and everything disappeared

[rustic venture]

i see people (raxx) praising raging spirit witch as the easiest leveler... how? I'm playing ssf and having a super hard time. it made act 1 easy but act 2 quickly made it painfully slow.

[weak harness]

you are probably just weak rather than the boss being very very tanky
Didnt feel like I had to "chip" at him at all

[slate drum]

10€

[mental needle]

Options > interface > enable quest tracking. Make sure that's on, if it is then I dunno, try a restart.

[weak harness]

maybe its time to check build and items :)

[carmine veldt]

Just did a restart, gonna see if it worked

[mental needle]

colossus is tankier than any other boss near his level tbf

[rustic venture]

i'm planning to spend my coins in next weeks sale like this:
currency tab - 60
gem tab - 30
6 tab bundle - 110

i play ssf only so don't need premium

[carmine veldt]

are you mercenary

[mental needle]

is that 100 coins? I'm not sure how the conversion works for different currencies

[slate drum]

Mhh yes i think

[gleaming surge]

ANyone donig act 3 trials of chaos quest?
my game glitched and i don't have the inscrbed ultimatium drop

[mental needle]

and you plan on trading I take it?

[slate drum]

Yes i would like to trade one day

I totally new tho

To por

Poe*

[wise kindle]

No. I'm a warrior that is level 26

It was hard at first to figure out where his hit box is. It's only his arm I can acually hit. Doing maybe 130 damage a hit. 180 if I break his armor

Just sitting next to his arm the whole fight spamming one attack mostly.

[mental needle]

130 damage sounds very low for the level, what attack are you using?

[gleaming surge]

Anyone doing act 3 trials of chaos quest?
my game glitched and i don't have the inscribed ultimatum drop

[carmine veldt]

perfect strike?

[mental needle]

Ok so with exactly 100 coins I would advise a currency tab (60) upgrade one tab to premium so you can conveniently list items from there (10) and a gem tab(30) You could also get another premium tab, or convert all your tabs to premium (30) instead of the gem tab, but I would advise gems @slate drum

[wise kindle]

He has a lot of armor. Just the mace attack cause most of my attacks don't do much. Perfect strike for the charge time and all that doesn't seem to do much damage. Maybe 250 with some burn damage.

[mental needle]

Based on previous sale prices those should be the prices once the tab sale happens

[carmine veldt]

outside of perfect strike, and later on hammer of the gods, warriors outside of endgame doesn't really do much dmg

[mental needle]

Well you said you're breaking his armor right? Or not fully?

[wise kindle]

I am breaking his armor so I'm doing my full damage or at least almost my full damage of 180

[mental needle]

also the ignite from perfect strike is significant, you should be trying to reapply it every time it falls off

[wise kindle]

Even though my dps is around 260

He's not even that much of a threat. It's those self destructing flying things comming in and ruining it. Lol

[mental needle]

Yeah he isn't very threatening if you're sticking close to him

[slate drum]

Thank you, gonna screenshot that!

[cursive beacon]

Is armor piercing round Mercenary worth trying to build towards? The idea of having a machine gun sounds really funny

[mental needle]

I'd suggest the totem to tank some aggro for the little guys, maybe earthquake that you can setup as they're coming in, and /or boneshatter since their stun thresh should be low.

[gloomy sinew]

Hey, question about trigger spells, how the hell is cast time = energy cost calculated

does cast speed affect it at all or is it basically fixed

[wise kindle]

I try to do the whole stun thing but they blow up before I can use bone shatter. But I'll try thr earthquake. My totem never lasts more than a second. Lol

[mental needle]

it's based on the cast time listed on the gem, your cast speed doesn't matter and putting arcane tempor or something on it won't affect it either.

It is base cast time

[gloomy sinew]

Dammit

It's so slow

[mental needle]

Could I see what support gems you have on perfect strike/mace strike?

[haughty niche]

Consider dropping the overpower or ruthless support from mace strike if you are stunning too quick

[zenith plank]

Is the corruption altar in Jaquani's a one time thing or i can always come back for more in act3?

[haughty niche]

Its single use per char i think

[gloomy sinew]

I wanted to try and automate cold snap but it's not really working, I guess I need to quality up the trigger spell

[zenith plank]

Do i get a second one after i beat the act3 and go back to act 1 (nightmare mode)\

[safe lance]

it is just the same effect as a vaal orb and probably not that useful in early game.

I could be wrong but you can reset the instance and keep doing it but doesnt sound worth it

[weak harness]

yes, but its just a vaal orb, its not a big deal really

[mental needle]

It generates very slowly against normal mobs, trigger spells are better used for single target setups ever since the nerf

[haughty niche]

It really doesnt matter by that point, you should get plenty of vaal orbs

[safe lance]

as in reset instance but clear whole area again

[gloomy sinew]

ahh

alright, maybe I shelve it for now then

[mental needle]

so if you're a cold build I've liked putting frost bomb in there for exposure.

but that's just laziness and refusal to use archmage

[gloomy sinew]

I'm trying to make chronomancer fly so I've been relying on that a lot

Ice wall kinda busted rn though

[mental needle]

yeah icewall is crazy

[gloomy sinew]

It's so good I don't want to use it anymore lmao

[wise kindle]

I would but I'm not on the game anymore. Giving it a break after 10 fails. Lol

[knotty verge]

Ice wall is probably my favourite spell of the cold build

[lofty osprey]

Anyone got time to help me fix my 45 witch hunter im just not getting boss does. Using gshards for clearing which works great bossing I very slowly chip off health with the high v rounds it feels weak

[maiden lotus]

Hello - I am finding myself totally stuck in Act 2 normal. I can’t beat the skeletal mammoth and the other guy. This happened on my titan, too: I hit a wall and I don’t know how to proceed.

[prime cosmos]

what's your gear + skills + passives look like

usually as long as you're using a decent combination of 2 skills w/ synergy like sorc sparks + fire wall
and updating your gear at the vendors every few levels you shouldn't be getting stuck

[maiden lotus]

I’m running a lightning sorc based on a guide - hang on I’ll find it

My wand I think is good but I don’t know what stats to look for. I am out of gold too because I had to redo my passive tree.

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

[hybrid star]

that looks like a twink leveling guide

[gloomy sinew]

Hmm

[maiden lotus]

Oh like subsequent playthrough character?

[gloomy sinew]

Any way to shorten the distance that my Glacial Cascade travels?

would that be AOE distance?

[fallen arch]

what do u have on you wand?

[mental needle]

concentrated effect makes aoe smaller, but I'm not sure how that interacts with glacial cascade

you could just socket it in and see

[fallen arch]

actually what are you struggling with exactly lack of dmg?

[mental needle]

yeah that person has like all uniques so we'd need to see your gear to help

[prime cosmos]

the guide literally says what stats to look for 💀

[weak harness]

a lot of people go for shield over focus ah?

[maiden lotus]

My wand has bonus spell damage, 2 to lightning spells, 41 mana, 12% crit spell damage bonus, 17% spell damage, and 14% of damage as extra fire damage

But like how do I acquire gear - I have no money, I don’t find stuff, I don’t find orbs, etc

Do I go back like 10 levels and just grind whites and orbs and stuff?

[prime cosmos]

the non-gambling non-potion selling vendors sells gear that updates every level

[fallen arch]

What lvl are u at?

[maiden lotus]

30

[weak harness]

you mean +2 to skill level?

thats pretty decent for ur level

[fallen arch]

Not worth it tho

[weak harness]

could get some more % spell tho if u dont have much in your tree that could help a lot

[prime cosmos]

so in act 2 just talk to this vendor and they'll have gear that's updated

[mighty sandal]

Evasion chance is a chance to not recieve damage after getting hit?

[fallen arch]

17% dmg to spells is all he has currently

[mental needle]

to dodge the hit entirely, but basically yes

[weak harness]

why not worth it?

[dull skiff]

uhm so where do i find how much critical chance i got? i cant find it on my character tab

[fallen arch]

Send me a pick of you main spell with the support gems showing

[maiden lotus]

So basically just check every level against that list from before and swap? It’s gotta happen often then I guess

[prime cosmos]

basically yeah, sometimes they won't have stuff that's better

[mental needle]

you should check the vendors often yes, every time you go back to town basically and every single level if you're desperate

[fallen arch]

Cuz spell dmg is better xD ofc its good to have but i sure dont want a +3 and would instead want more % on dmg before having that

[prime cosmos]

also send a pic of your main spell and the support gems

[maiden lotus]

Spark, arcane tempo, ricochet

Flame wall, persistence, magnified effect

[weak harness]

how so? i feel like if he has a few % dmg in his tree he would get more from the + skills

[mental needle]

you probably want raw damage instead of ricochet

[craggy gyro]

herald of thunder does not have extra effect for upgrades? is there a way to find out

[fallen arch]

Switch ricochet to controlled destruction

[craggy gyro]

Need help with chimera hard stuck ign Draxnter

[maiden lotus]

I have 3 slots for spark

[fallen arch]

Nahh from what i have seen +2 is not worth over 30% ishh

[maiden lotus]

Added controlled destruction

[mental needle]

Look at the buff tab

https://poe2db.tw/us/Herald_of_Thunder but also here

[topaz crypt]

how do I add a skill I just engraved, to my actual skill panel?

[mental needle]

click it and the skill menu should pop up to put into the socket

[fallen arch]

That should help out

[craggy gyro]

i see

thank you

[maiden lotus]

Okay I’m gonna give it another go - thanks everyone

[topaz crypt]

I right click a skill gem and engraved the same skill again, but no options to add it to skill panel, so I guess you can just waste your gems, cool haha

[fallen arch]

if u still can't do it let me know ill take a deeper look at your skill tree

I'm no pro at all but i just leveled a sorc and currently leveling it :p

[maiden lotus]

Appreciate it - I feel like an old man now lol

[vagrant anchor]

Take a picture if your passive tree

[fallen arch]

Also the more u get better at not taking dmg the easier the game gets, campaign wise atleast ( i always lvl glass cannons xD)

[prime cosmos]

yeah in campaign you can't face tank

[fallen arch]

At all really

[prime cosmos]

usually have to actually interact w/ the boss mechanics

[fallen arch]

Unless u can perma stun

[topaz crypt]

I am engraving a lvl 8 skill, I've done it 3 times now, but I get no gem to put into my skill panel, help?

[prime cosmos]

yeah lol like giga electrocute

[fallen arch]

Dexio, if you so it from the stash tab it stays there

Do it*

[topaz crypt]

oph, wow it went into lvl 1 slot, weird ok thanks a lot

got it now cheers

[fallen arch]

Anyone doing azak bog voss in cruel? Skipped that one but hate the map <<

[odd plank]

What do you recommend for my Witchhunters first 2 points?

[fallen arch]

Happened to me too xD

[fallen arch]

Depends on the build honestly

But you can respect that tree so try stuff what if needed

[odd plank]

Oh, I had no Idea you could respec the ascendancies. That’s great.

[fallen arch]

The points u can, you just cant swap the one you have picked

[timber cave]

You can respec the ascendancy passives, you can't change ascendancies

[odd plank]

You get six points total, but probably should plan about 4 points, right? 😂

[timber cave]

6 is fairly doable if your build is decent

[prime cosmos]

it's crazy you can't switch ascendancies but they probably did that for data

[exotic sierra]

you get up to 8 points

[timber cave]

Im hoping its just an early access thing where they havent properly implement it

[mental needle]

they wanna see how many people quit after picking chayula monk and blood mage

[odd plank]

Ooh, 8. ☺️

[timber cave]

Chayula monk is good tho, and bloodmage (if you get past early game)

[mental needle]

Didn't say they were trash

but they certainly aren't new player friendly

[timber cave]

Yeah

But then again poe as a whole isnt exactly new player friendly to begin with

[odd plank]

Game is incredible, but so brutal sometimes.

[fallen arch]

its better now tbf

[timber cave]

Now in comparison to 10 years ago sure

[fallen arch]

better qol

[timber cave]

But like respeccing still isnt new player friendly imo

[fallen arch]

idk man isnt that hard to farm gold in my opinion

dismantle less and sell more

[timber cave]

If you dont know what you're doing and got unlucky you're better off rerolling in like act 2/3 even

Gold isnt that bad but skillgems arent fun to farm

[fallen arch]

and you can perm a farm gold, the value of respec is also balanced to level

if you not down to farm20 minutes cuz u messed up it's not a balancing issue in my opinion

[remote grotto]

As a sorc, should I be trying to use a staff, a wand+shield, or a wand+focus? And why?

[mental needle]

Respeccing is absolutely new player friendly, but it isn't limitless

[scarlet magnet]

depends what ur build is

[mental needle]

which is how it should be imo

[fallen arch]

for story i would say staff

[ripe owl]

Agreed. End of act 2 has suddenly gone "your build is trash, and you have no chance", to me. Lol

[timber cave]

yeah preference to build

[fallen arch]

just feel easier to find stats

[scarlet magnet]

if you need raw damage usually wand + focus

[mental needle]

Staff is the easiest for leelling because you need one good item rather than two

[vagrant anchor]

Game became super easy for me, when I realized damage passives are OP early on.

Slap on a rarity item, pick 2 skills to rotate. Learn to use trade for dece items.

Very chill game up to maps. Jamanra was my only frustrating point whiles I was on light sorc, other than that, cruising.

[fallen arch]

and you only have to worry about 1 item as a whole so it's easier to invest into it in early stages

[scarlet magnet]

you can get like 90% increase spell damage on some wands

[fallen arch]

with invest i mena gambling since it's how it works XD

[remote grotto]

How can a staff be competitive with a wand+? Does staff get 2x the roll magnitude?

[scarlet magnet]

and about 40% on some focus and 70 % crit chance

[fallen arch]

yeah or 1 ex and buy a unique with 100%

[scarlet magnet]

depends the element you doing

[timber cave]

Yeah hence preference to build

[scarlet magnet]

like you wont get high elemental damage with wands

wands usually give raw spell damage which elemental damage scales harder if you doing elemental

[timber cave]

But honestly while playing in acts, you'd wanna use whatever you have that's the better loot

[remote grotto]

My intention is to play frostwall + fireball. But those won't be available to me until a bit later in campaign. So right now I'm just using frost bomb + spark + lightning orb.

[fallen arch]

yup and dmg ofc u gotta kill

nothing you can do about tankiness at that point

[fallen arch]

Comum is to use fire wall with spark

[scarlet magnet]

they work better

[fallen arch]

eventually mana tempest and for the most part that covers the story part

[scarlet magnet]

use a support gem to make firewall a circle

stand in it and spam spark

[remote grotto]

Yeah spark is just too braindead for me. Frost Bomb feels more satisfying but I'm using spark (and sometimes fire wall with it) when frost bomb is on cd.

[scarlet magnet]

you chain regular and flame lightning

[lofty osprey]

lf someone to smoke doryani im getting destroyed by his ass laser dancing beam

[remote grotto]

I just didn't (and still don't really) understand the difference between staff and wand+focus / wand+shield so I wasn't sure what goes into making the decision between them.

[scarlet magnet]

i would say aim for a staff with lightning modifier

if you wanna do more frost then aim for a frost one

but your passive skill tree got to reflect the damage type you want to build

[fallen arch]

Spark with arcane tempo and controll destruction

fire wall with Fortress

[scarlet magnet]

in early game you shouldnt split your damage time in your skill tree cause you will feel like you are struggling later on

[maiden lotus]

I swapped this in - think it's better than what i was using

[golden condor]

is the game still considered in beta?

[fallen arch]

glad it helped

[fallen arch]

early acess

[golden condor]

PS5 says "Play Beta"

[scarlet magnet]

will be in early access for like a couple months to a year

[golden condor]

[mental needle]

Staff is the squishiest, the easiest to gear, wand+focus is harder to gear, but a little tankier, wand+shield is tankiest, but you lose damage since shields don't really get caster mods.

[timber cave]

Its early access, which is basically beta depending on what you wanna define it as

[golden condor]

we get to keep our crap though right?

[exotic sierra]

not into full release

[golden condor]

on standard server once it officially launches

[timber cave]

Yes and no, they'll most likely go into a standard league

[golden condor]

well yeah. in standard league

[fallen arch]

weren't they going to stay in a specific one for early acess?

[exotic sierra]

nope, EA characters will stay in an EA league even after full release

[timber cave]

Oh my bad

[fallen arch]

thought so

[exotic sierra]

EA progress will not touch release standard

[timber cave]

But you'll still keep them

[fallen arch]

else we would be ahead of everyone in terms of standard atleast

[timber cave]

As in its not getting full wiped

[golden condor]

so standard EA server will be confined there

[exotic sierra]

yes

[golden condor]

but not wiped

[timber cave]

Feels like a non issue idk

[fallen arch]

so you keep it but it's kinda the same of not mattering cuz that league will prob die out

[golden condor]

cosmetics still account wide anyway

[exotic sierra]

and there may be some form of wipes during EA but I'm not sure what they meant by that

[fallen arch]

i think they meant we getting wiped face to the floor while playing the game xD

[exotic sierra]

it did sound like we'd get to keep our EA characters for the duration of EA

[exotic sierra]

nah, that's just a bonus

[golden condor]

our character progress gets wiped?

welp it's ok I guess

[fallen arch]

read again to understand

[golden condor]

someone saying it'll stay in EA but not touched

another says it'll have some kind of character wiping

[timber cave]

For most purposes if you're a long term poe player you'd be playing fresh in the new league anyway

[golden condor]

that's true

I guess it doesn't matter much

the stash tabs and cosmetics still transfers to new league though anyway

afaik

[timber cave]

And if you're not keen on that you'd eventually want to make a char in standard because we're still missing half(?) the acts and half the subclasses / skills

[fallen arch]

stash tabs yes the content of them no

[timber cave]

Yes that's account wide

[golden condor]

fair

[scarlet bluff]

IS POE DOWN?!?!

[fallen arch]

nope im on

[golden condor]

ok welp I'll treat this period as a way to learn more about t he game

nah im playing atm

[timber cave]

Yep that's probably the way to go

[fallen arch]

treat it as a testing fase go crazy and test whatever builds you want to go for

[exotic sierra]

and half the weapons

[fallen arch]

and some supp gems too

[timber cave]

Yeah but that's probably a smaller factor overall than skillgems

[exotic sierra]

all of which is planned to be released during EA

[fallen arch]

More stuff for me to get confused with 😎

[timber cave]

Yea im waiting for everything else to come before hopping in, got bored after endgame

[scarlet bluff]

oh singapore is down.

an yway...i have a question...is witch hunter "available" to play?

[exotic sierra]

keep hearing about singapore going down, wonder why

[timber cave]

Yes

[scarlet bluff]

i mean like chronomancer is "available" to play but its element is not implant yet.

[timber cave]

The servers havent been great

[golden condor]

yeah im testing out witch hunter atm

[timber cave]

? you can play a chronomancer, idk what you're referring to but ascendancies arent tied to skills

[scarlet bluff]

as in its element.

[golden condor]

so far I enjoy the grenadier but will try out the shock bolt ice build after

[timber cave]

Again not sure what you mean by element, skills arent tied to ascendancies

[scarlet bluff]

heard that theres gonna be chronomancer element in the future

[timber cave]

There's no chronomancer element or bloodmage element, you pick a skill you want to main / a few combos and pick an ascendancy you think it'll go well with

[scarlet bluff]

like instead of lightning / fire / ice. chronomancer would get it own element?

[timber cave]

Seems unlikely since we have most of the spells in the game already

[fallen arch]

idk about that, just seems expeculation

[scarlet bluff]

ascendancy = chronomancer or stormweaver right?

[timber cave]

Yes

[scarlet bluff]

ohh ok

[fallen arch]

yes but that does not mean all of it needs to have a especific element :p

[scarlet bluff]

hmm true...but if i want the true power of a class i should have its own element right? XD

[fallen arch]

Chaos mage is using chrono for example so def a used asc

[timber cave]

From a purely fantasy fiction idea sure, but this isnt that

[scarlet bluff]

honestly from what i know.
all the 3 class that i want to play...arent good.
Acolyte of Chayula / Warbringer (totem warrior(?)) / Chronomancer?

[timber cave]

This is an arpg with things implemented

[golden condor]

I'm looking forward to more cosmetics and pets

[timber cave]

Chayula is good but not exactly beginner friendly, same with chronomancer, idk bout warriors since i didnt play them personally

[fallen arch]

Ahm idk about warrior the rest are good

[timber cave]

I do know that they have good builds too

[mellow grail]

What is the best perm buff from servi?

[dawn siren]

campaign complete

[scarlet bluff]

i heard armor isnt good @.@

[timber cave]

Melee builds are just more tedious in general cause you have to be in melee

Its not that armor isnt good, rather relying solely on armor isnt good, and there's not that many ways to supplement it as compared to poe1

[scarlet bluff]

hmm honestly i die lesser with melee than with my mage tbh

[scarlet bluff]

pretty sure i read around alot that warbringer rely heavily on armor

maybe i will give witchhunter a try...

[fallen arch]

most people like wasd

and it's smooth

[timber cave]

as a long term poe player, wasd is nice

[fallen urchin]

try both, i'm used to click movement from other arpgs but vastly prefer wasd

[fallen arch]

makes kitting 100% easier

[timber cave]

None of the builds need to rely on specific defenses other than bloodmage (obviously some is preferred than others)

[fallen arch]

faster reaction too

[scarlet bluff]

hmm from what i know that "warbringer" heavily rely on armor cause of their skill

atleast thats what i read from the website

[timber cave]

In poe skills are independant from your class / ascendancy

[mental needle]

warbringer breaks armor

he doesn't need to use it

[timber cave]

While its more streamline to play as a melee warrior for example

[mental needle]

but he typically wants strength on his side of the tree which leads into armour based gear

[timber cave]

You dont have to do it, you can play as a melee chronomancer if you want although you'd need to do some creative buildcrafting and i wouldnt recommend it for new players

[scarlet bluff]

i see i see

interesting...

[timber cave]

The game has a list of recommended skills for the class, but its not locked into that

[scarlet bluff]

yeah

it seem like theres gonna be another "classes"

[timber cave]

Again, its recommended if you're a newcomer

We're still missing half the ascendancies and skills

[scarlet bluff]

so like 2 class for each character and 4 ascendecy for each character in total.

[fallen arch]

each class has x3 asc

[scarlet bluff]

i guess i will just try witch hunter

OHHH

[fallen arch]

just currently missing

[scarlet bluff]

meaning we only have 2 out of 3

[fallen arch]

yup

[mental needle]

there will be double the classes and triple the ascendancies by release

[scarlet bluff]

meaning thats a total of 2 class & 6 ascendacy per character.

[mental needle]

unless there is disaster

[scarlet bluff]

interesting..

[fallen arch]

so in total we will have 12 classes with x3 asc each

[scarlet bluff]

NICE

[timber cave]

I dont remember if this was confirmed in any of their announcements but it feels like its looking more towards 12 classes with x2 each cause they consolidated some of the ascendancies into single ones

[mental needle]

they said in the official trailer that the ascendancies we're getting were 2/3

[fallen arch]

each class as around 25 skills so around 150 new skills to play with at release

[mental needle]

or release stream or whatever

[fallen arch]

yup they did

[scarlet bluff]

fun. this is interesting.

i cant wait...

let me just try Witch Hunter for now.

i keep dying as a sorceress...

[exotic sierra]

steam page says 36 ascendancies, so yes we're getting 3 each eventually

[timber cave]

Makes me wonder what raider will be now since frenzy charge stuff are on deadeye, unless they change that later on

[exotic sierra]

we might get something other than raider

[mental needle]

I don't think they want to repeat a bunch of ascendancies from one

I thought it was weird they did it twice on ranger

since they didn't on witch

I just want my boy the duelist, sword and board

[exotic sierra]

I assume alot of ascendancies are probably not even in the brainstorming stage yet, or they're barely in there

[timber cave]

Im assuming that they're mostly there, just not implemented into EA yet since probably not stable build

Unless EA ends up going for a few months

[exotic sierra]

ea is going to be 6 months to a year

and I'm still expecting that to get extended cause I've seen GGG do good work but game dev is unpredictable sometimes

[mental needle]

1 year seems like a pipe dream to me

with how much they've promised and the current feedback on endgame

[timber cave]

If it goes on for a year then im hoping we do get an update with the most of the remaining stuff to try rather than just balance patches for endgame

[exotic sierra]

ye, even with 5 years put in already. 6 classes, 24 ascnedancies, 6 weapon types, 3 more acts, and however many gems they still need to implement seems like alot to squeeze into 12 months. esp when all that needs to be tested and needs to work together to some extent

[shut abyss]

increased physical damage 95% of the time

[halcyon gust]

ew

[exotic sierra]

not to mention all the synergies they're doing

[shut abyss]

what

[mental needle]

they more or less confirmed we're getting huntress and druid at the least

[scarlet bluff]

hmm mercenary are hard to play @.@

[shut abyss]

@halcyon gust no, explain please

[exotic sierra]

those are the ones we're getting first is what they said

[exotic sierra]

the plan is to release all of it in EA so it can be properly tested

[scarlet bluff]

I WANT DRUID

[exotic sierra]

whether that manages to fit into 12 months is the question in my mind

I also want the bear man

[timber cave]

Im waiting for spear skills

[ruby bay]

Any news or speculation when ?

[mental needle]

soon ™️

my theory is about a month after poe1 league release

[ruby bay]

[remote grotto]

Does sorc have any power charge spenders? (Power Siphon wand can generate pcharges.)

[exotic sierra]

oh yeah, they are gonna have to come up with something quick for that lol

[scarlet bluff]

so the EA is 1 year?

[exotic sierra]

up to (tho I expect "at least")

[mental needle]

6-12 months is what the devs have said

but it's not set in stone

[rustic venture]

can you gamble for low level uniques? mainly for stuff like ghostwrithe in ssf

[mental needle]

I think they would rather delay release than break promises for numbers of classes or length of campaign or whatever

[exotic sierra]

yea, that seems like a GGG thing to do

[mental needle]

You can get uniques from gambling, I'm not sure where the best place to do so for certain items is (if there even is one)

[timber cave]

Then again we did play a repeat of acts 1-4 in poe for the longest time ever

[mental needle]

I mean I feel like campaign is prob the closest thing to done tbh

I wouldn't be that surprised if act 4 came with huntress and druid

they already showcased pretty indepth stuff from act 4 at the least, boss fights and such

[shadow orchid]

it was like 2 years with 4 acts before that it was 3 acts

[stuck knoll]

hi i need help, so we just kill the azakbog witch to get 40 spirit. but then one of my team's inventory is full and when he pick up the skull quest item it disappeared. we try kill it again and it's nothing drop now.

[scarlet bluff]

i find that ....mercenary is...boring...

[shadow orchid]

did he try talking to all the npcs in town? Possibly he can claim the quest item somewhere

[stuck knoll]

is it gonna work? cause the skull drop from boss..

[humble orbit]

stupid question but where can I trade with other players?

[shadow orchid]

i havent encoutnered the problem yet but its worth a try i reckon

[exotic sierra]

at one point we had to play thru the first 3 acts 3 times lol

[craggy gyro]

Need help with zicotal ign Draxnter

[stuck knoll]

thx

[exotic sierra]

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

[shadow orchid]

to trade items you need to meet them in the same instance. Join their party and go visit the town/hideout they are in. When in the same instance rightclick and trade

[humble orbit]

thanks, but are there like trade chats or marketplace or something liek that?

[exotic sierra]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2 or trade chat in game mostly

[humble orbit]

thanks

[shadow orchid]

ignore trade chat

its where you go to get scammed

[exotic sierra]

I've never used trade chat outside some bossing services

and that was a long time ago

[vagrant anchor]

Chance orbs...

[humble orbit]

will try to use website first, thank you

[mental needle]

Are you certain they don't have the spirit? It may have consumed it automatically, it shows how much spirit you have on the edge of the mana orb bottom right. Have them check

[dark skiff]

Henlo, guys. When in demon form, do I just miss out on all of my stats from my weapons? Is there a workaround for that or something? Maybe some special weapon, idk? Uniques that do work despite the demon form?

[rustic venture]

are they common drops in endgame? I'm in act1 cruel and so far only 1 chance fragment

[mental needle]

you get no weapon, that's why you get spell levels and cast speed

[hallow breach]

you can either trade for them or salvage uniques

but apart from that the shards are the only way

[mental needle]

every unique item is worth a chance shard and they're pretty plentiful in maps

[scarlet bluff]

hmmm anyone could recommend me a class to play? XD

[dark skiff]

But the trade off is only worth it for the early game 😦

[indigo geyser]

Why this skill is not working?

[shut abyss]

i think they said that they had to decide between campaign and endgame for early access and went for endgame so i thinks they campaign in is pretty good shape

[timber cave]

Do you have enough spirit?

[mental needle]

That's not true, you can get TONS of demon form stacks

like hundreds

[rustic venture]

monk is my fav for fun and accessibility so far

[mental needle]

with the right setups

[indigo geyser]

Yes I have but it not reduce the spirit

[scarlet bluff]

hmm but ehh i only want to play Chayula XD

[humble orbit]

do you press this button in website with game open and it sends message to seller?

[stuck knoll]

my friend got only 60 now

[exotic sierra]

endgame seems pretty good for something that was done in 4 months

[timber cave]

Put a curse in

[shut abyss]

you'd be the fifth chayula player!

[hallow breach]

then play that xd

[exotic sierra]

yes

[humble orbit]

ty

[rustic venture]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4AoV6z4Dwo

it's probably the strongest build rn when you have extremely good gear

[indigo geyser]

I already put in 2 curse, it worked once but I try some support gem and it won't work now

[dark skiff]

Well, if you don’t cap out the demon flames, then yeah, I guess. But you still need a hell lot of HP regen to back it up at higher levels, plus when mapping you still need to deal with the cooldown, even if you lower it.

[patent gulch]

What’s the strat for baba la

[mental needle]

it will cost 168 spirit if I'm seeing it right. It looks like you have 2 curses and heightened curse in there.

[hallow breach]

maybe the support gem isnt for one of the sokceted skills

[mental needle]

heightened curse increases the cost

[timber cave]

Support gems can also increase the cost

[hollow ridge]

can i still put runes in corrupted weapon?

[indigo geyser]

I have 231 spirit to test it and it not working

[hallow breach]

doesnt say not enough spirit tho

[timber cave]

Yes

[shadow orchid]

if you dont know what she is doing run around like a headless chicken. If poison starts coming from the ground try giving her a hug

[indigo geyser]

Already try remove it but not working

[mental needle]

It never goes on cooldown with the ideal setups

you finish an entire instance with one use

[topaz crypt]

is warrior an.. easier go than sorc right now?

[hallow breach]

remove all the stuff in it then reput them in and see when it stops working

[indigo geyser]

Use 1 curse and it not curse any monster

[mental needle]

Many people say warrior is hard in campaign, so I wouldn't say so. Mine went fine, but many seem to think different

[shadow orchid]

early warrior sucks. Lategame warrior also sucks or so i have heard. Between that he is very fun at least to me

[dark skiff]

The guy is constantly chugging mana potions.

[mental needle]

he has infernal flame not mana 💀

[rustic venture]

huh? he has no mana. he kinda has infinite mana lol

[indigo geyser]

Skill window show that it activate but any other is not

[dark skiff]

How the hell can you finish the entire map until dying?

[exotic sierra]

all builds have to chug potions from what I've seen

[topaz crypt]

thanks guys.

[hallow breach]

whats the curse

[exotic sierra]

infernal flame?

[mental needle]

they get very low base HP and run flat hp regen, it can sustain hundreds of stacks

[scarlet bluff]

WAIT FIFTH? theres only 5?!?!

[dark skiff]

No… He avoid capping out the flame to not receive damage by using mana potions.

[mental needle]

that's the budget way I've seen

[timber cave]

That's kinda weird, maybe relog?

[shut abyss]

there's probly more but invoker is the meta and people so very much likes metas

[indigo geyser]

I try Flammability and Vulnerability, it worked once when I socked both but now, anyway I try it not

[hallow breach]

from the looks of it its not working with that curse since it isnt reserving spirit for it

[dark skiff]

How do you get low base HP then? The skill tree only has two nodes to decrease it.

[rustic venture]

no... he hits the limit and takes the damage, which actyually heals him thanks to some passive node. then he heals the shield with hp flask thanks to another passive node. it's a complicated build, but one issue he does not have is anything to do with mana

[indigo geyser]

I will try this 1st xD

[mental needle]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Ghostwrithe + infernalist hp reserve node(s)

[humble orbit]

okay I still don't get it, if i use poe trade website and whisper to player, should they write me back? or is it somewhat automatic and after whispering I should go somewhere and do something? because I whispered 5 players and got nothing back

[timber cave]

They will normally invite you to party, then you'd go to their hideout

[mental needle]

Welcome to poe

many don't reply

[timber cave]

If they didnt reply they're either afk or busy

[dark skiff]

Reserve nodes don’t affect your max HP when doing calculations… They say that pretty clearly.

[hallow breach]

its luck of the draw, you can tell if they got ur message cus ingame you will see you sent a message

[shut abyss]

they should invite you
you should go to them(hideout usually)
THEY trade you

[humble orbit]

is it obvious when you get invite to party? never done that before

[shut abyss]

pop up on the right bottom corner

[hallow breach]

alot of the time people wont respond if their item is getting alot of request, cus then they will just raise the price

[humble orbit]

thanks everyone

[indigo geyser]

Nope, not working

[cold cargo]

is there a way to remove a rune in the item

[timber cave]

nope

[mental needle]

Obviously you just want to think the build is bad so I'll leave it be. Look up guides online if you wish

[cold cargo]

thanks im cooked

[timber cave]

Your blasphemy is on but not reserving spirit?

[craggy nimbus]

Why cant I see sorcery ward in here?

[mental needle]

sorcery ward is from the witchhunter ascendancy it isn't a skill gem

[indigo geyser]

Yes, and it just work on my second skill set and now I try to find out way it working, and it broken again

[shut abyss]

stat requirements probly?

[indigo geyser]

Wait

[dark skiff]

I’m not saying the build is bad, I’m saying what you’re saying is wrong and you are not providing any clear explanation on how the build actually works.

[timber cave]

Oh i think its one of those things where you've set it to a weapon skill set specifically by accident maybe

[craggy nimbus]

Aint no way I was tweaking bro finally someone said that

[indigo geyser]

Huh

[craggy nimbus]

Thank you so much

[patent gulch]

Bruh I had to dodge like I’m playing elden ring

[indigo geyser]

Maybe, I need to check this

[shut abyss]

also "used with weapon set" might have something to do with it, previous screenshot it was 1 and now it's 2

[long vector]

Hey y'all, I asked this in another channel, but it may be too noobie: Is there a class that would make an especially good partner for mapping with a lighting/cold ranger?

[timber cave]

Aurabots arent beginner friendly, just play whatever looks fun

[indigo geyser]

I try setting it to only work on set 1, now it not working when only select one, I need to select both set to make it work

[long vector]

I don't know what an aurabot is, but okay. ☺️

[indigo geyser]

I just try changing it, maybe it needed both to work

[mental needle]

Typically something with the same element so you can stack the debuffs up together, but really it's not that big of a deal

[timber cave]

The only real support build in poe is an aurabot, otherwise there's not really any other synergies for party play

[cold cargo]

what does corrupted means?

[indigo geyser]

Now it only work for set 2 with conditions to set it active on both set

[exotic sierra]

means someone used a vaal orb on it and it can no longer be modified

[cold cargo]

modified is like the passive stats?

[exotic sierra]

yes

[cold cargo]

but u still can put runes?

[mental needle]

you can't use any currency on a corrupted item

if it has empty sockets yes

[timber cave]

Yes but you can't add sockets

[exotic sierra]

if it has sockets, you can still put runes in it, but you can't add sockets or quality or use crafting currency on it

[cold cargo]

i see thank u so much

[shut abyss]

@long vector i guess you could use some auras or banners that benefit allies, break armor and shock can benefit others too but armor break doesn't help elemental damage etc. i guess you'll have to figure out something fun!
but as stated, not really needed in the end.

[knotty verge]

I just started act2 on a monk and I can already tell rathbreaker is going to kill me a bunch, if i post my build can someone help me either get more dmg or survivability

[shut abyss]

sure but first are you dodging the three hits he does and doing your best to dodge the spears ?

[nova mulch]

where do i get this?

[knotty verge]

Im doing my best but my dmg feels pretty low and my evasion doesnt feel like its doing enough

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/a9d36c88-9f0a-4fad-9640-17f982a32d7f/builds/756b9fd7-90dc-421b-9802-ac9a87d42502

[shut abyss]

the other 2 maps of the three you need to do right now

[knotty verge]

I am playing poison bow monk so my dmg is always going to be kinda shit

[exotic sierra]

do the other 2 areas and the pieces will drop from certain random mobs

[rustic venture]

random drops in the other 2 maps (keth, mastodon)

[nova mulch]

ah okay ty

[rustic venture]

(not truly random - if you kill every mob on hte map you're guaranteed to get it)

[exotic sierra]

only random in which one it drops from

they are not morked in any way

[scarlet bluff]

hmm any place where i can ask about story?

[exotic sierra]

pretty sure it's one of the hyena men for the sun half?

[shut abyss]

oh neat, afaik crit doesn't really help you that much early on so you could reallocate those points to just damage.
are you blowing up the poison or just poison?

[indigo geyser]

My Blasphemy still not active on weapon set 1, I don't understand why it not working

[shut abyss]

can you post char screen with wep 1 and 2 equipped

[cold cargo]

is there a rune that gives spirit by any chance?

[indigo geyser]

I already try increase int to the same as set 2 but it still not working

[shut abyss]

something with str or int? requirements?did you check

[indigo geyser]

Not test str yet, will do that now

[shut abyss]

whats the requirements on the gem?

[indigo geyser]

164 int?

[knotty verge]

You cant blow up poison with bow until Gas Cloud at skill gem 5 so my dmg is badge

[shut abyss]

yah thats fine what about the supports?(curses)

[indigo geyser]

Both are 191 int

[shut abyss]

firewall is the go to, i'm not sure since i haven't played it much, other is that are you using multiple poisons? i tried it little bit and there was some interactions that raised to damage quite nicely

[knotty verge]

I think the gems I have on poison burst arrow (my main skill) are the best dmg I can get?

[indigo geyser]

Str is also not the answer

[mental needle]

There's a guaranteed level 5 skillgem from story, did you already use it on something else?

[knotty verge]

Im not super sure

[knotty verge]

I started act 2 and the first boss is mcwreaking me

My dmg is abymsal because lol poison

[shut abyss]

what about the weapons? does one give any spirit?

[mental needle]

Yeah ik I've been lurking

[bitter ingot]

whens the next stash sale
as a new player struggling to manage things!

[knotty verge]

I spent it on barrage

[scenic salmon]

The solution is a better bow and more poison farm some act 1 boss

[indigo geyser]

Weapon set 1 get spirit so the spirit on set 1 are always higher than set 2

But it only working on the lower one

[mental needle]

couple weeks

[knotty verge]

Any boss specifically or just something near the end like executioner?

[half pasture]

How do I spend my first 2 atlas points. I'm struggling to find tier 2 maps

[shut abyss]

is something else taking up your spirit with weapon 1? maybe the summons change when you swap? havent played my infernalist in so long that i'm guessing alot here

[indigo geyser]

Just buy the tier 1 map at Doryani and comblie it

[indigo geyser]

No, I deactivate all of it so my spirit is full

366/366

[mental needle]

to progress your quest it's usually best to take the waystone nodes, increased droprate, higher tier chance, start making your way to those notables. Also #2┃after-acts-help

[fading carbon]

Anyone able to help a noob with a Gaenor fight I hate this big effing dog

[indigo glade]

does anyone know why suddenly my spirit turned from 66 to 30?

im on cruel act 2

[mental needle]

Did you take off a chest or an amulet?

they can have spirit on them

[cold cargo]

what is maximum quality mean?

[royal kindle]

Anyone need help with any bosses :)

[indigo glade]

oh... i think i chaos orb my amulet and its gone now

[shut abyss]

I was wondering because the char screen shows 180 but that might be unused and idk how much you need for the curses

[mental needle]

you can use armourer's scraps/whetstones/etchers on an item and give it quality to improve its stats. 20% is maximum quality

[fading carbon]

Me pls

[indigo geyser]

I match the stat on both set, so stat is not the problem edit: also passive tree, it is the same now

[royal kindle]

Do you want to invite me sable_w

[cold cargo]

thank u

[indigo glade]

i thought i was missing something, i thought campaign will give default spirit by cruel act 2

[hasty ruin]

Can I send my supporter pack items to my guild here in poe2? Ive heard you could to poe 1 but I want to use my supporter pack items in my guild

[mental needle]

Also if you're in cruel act 2 you should have gotten spirit from a sidequest in act 3 normal, the azak bog has a boss that gives +30

[hasty ruin]

I bought the one with the ghost boat thinking id be able to

[indigo glade]

thx ima check it out

[mental needle]

and/or if you missed it in act 1 instead there is a boss in freythorn that also gives 30 spirit

[fading carbon]

What class are you.... that was crazy

[indigo geyser]

@shut abyss Also swap weapon from set 2 to 1 and set 1 still not working

Wait

I found the fix

[royal kindle]

Witch :)

[indigo geyser]

I swap weapon set 1 to 2 that it already working

And it worked now

I still don't know why the skill only work on set 2

[royal kindle]

If you need help at any point let me know again, I’m a demon form witch

[indigo geyser]

Maybe a bug???

[shut abyss]

works on both now?

[indigo geyser]

Only work on set 2 as always

So I just swap weapon and I will swap all setting form 1 to 2

[mental needle]

Do you have different nodes on weapon set 2?

only thing I can think of but idk what would even affect it like this from tree

[shut abyss]

so we know it's not the weapon so only thing i can think of is that how many other minions you summon is changes with weapon sets which
or
something wrong with passive tree(refunding them sometimes revert back but there shouldn't be anything affecting spirit)

[indigo geyser]

Used to, but I reset all of it to be the same

Wait

[shut abyss]

i would remove all other gems and just blasphemy and start adding stuff till it breaks

[indigo geyser]

I still not reset all of the set 1

Maybe that

[shut abyss]

afaik infernalist doesn't have anything spirit related there and your stats should be fine?

[royal kindle]

Anyone need help with bosses invite sable_w

[mental needle]

infernalist has an hp spirit conversion node

idk if they use that though

but it also isn't able to be changed by weapon set so it would be applying to both

maybe 1 weapon set has more hp than the other?

[indigo glade]

i just defeated act 1 the king of the mist boss but it does not give me the 30 spirit

[mental needle]

it will be grey on the map if you already did it

and if it's in cruel he gives no spirit

[shut abyss]

this bothers me but idk if thats the max or unreserved(weapon set 1 and 2)

[indigo glade]

like this?

[mental needle]

yes

thje one you're missing is from the azak bog act 3 it seems

[indigo glade]

maybe this?

[young stone]

anyone know where can i find the best support gems for voltaic mark?

[exotic sierra]

it automatically reccomends some of the best supports when you select it in the gem cutting window

[knotty verge]

okay im back after some soul searching and gas arrow is actually lvl7 skill gems so way outside of what i can get for this fight

[indigo geyser]

It not working on both now, I kind of confused as the moment

[nova mulch]

the fuck is going on with my latancy? lol

[exotic sierra]

never seen it do that before

[mental needle]

Mine does that all the time before I disconnect

[timber cave]

Lmao rip

[exotic sierra]

mine usually spikes alot harder before I dc

[timber cave]

Mine just flatlines before i dc

[exotic sierra]

sometimes it hops up to 5k-6k ping then goes back to normal

[delicate siren]

Is there something I should prioritize while clearing the atlas?

[shut abyss]

i got to go but i'd unequip all the gems and start adding them back in until it breaks for both weapons and then try to figure out why

[indigo glade]

@mental needle got it thx alot buddy

[indigo geyser]

Thx, I only have Blasphemy now and it not working, maybe I just move on now

[royal kindle]

So

Assign blasphemy to weapon slot 2

It fixed it for me

[indigo geyser]

Yet, that also fix it for me too

[timber cave]

It just looks like you got a weapon set bug

They tend to be a bit buggy atm

[royal kindle]

Happens with Demon form

[mental needle]

Ok bird I'm looking on the forums

someone has said you can assign the curses themselves within blasphemy to weapon sets

[royal kindle]

Any actives on weapon slot 1 don’t work when in demon form unless you assign them to two

[mental needle]

have you seen that?

[indigo geyser]

Okay, this...

[mental needle]

like if you look as blasphemy details each curse has a tab and within that tab they can be assigned

[indigo geyser]

I only assign curse to set 2

[mental needle]

is what they say

[indigo geyser]

Before I add blasphemy

[timber cave]

Try taking off blasphemy, putting the skill back on and checking

Might be that

[indigo geyser]

Its working now

Thx guys 😭

[mental needle]

in both sets?

[indigo geyser]

Yes

[shut abyss]

Ohh that’s got to be it

[mental needle]

POG

the forums always come in hot

[indigo geyser]

What forums by the way?

[mental needle]

path of exile forums

[shut abyss]

Didn’t know you could even do that

[mental needle]

they have official ones on the website

i just searched blasphemy weapon set in the bug report section of poe2

[timber cave]

Yeah always go to poe2 official forums, its where devs normally see stuff too

[mental needle]

yes PSA to post ur bug reports to forums :)

[indigo geyser]

Love you all, wish you guys a good day week month and year

[mental needle]

enjoy your blasphemy friend

[timber cave]

But that's only 2 more days, jk have fun

[exotic sierra]

killed the bird 🙌

[mental needle]

who

ultimatum tornado guy?

[exotic sierra]

ye

managed to get out of the tornado at 2% health

and he was about to do some shadow jutsu as I killed him

[half pumice]

my attacks seem to get quicker when i increase area of effect is that just becuase it is travelling further so i think that it is speeding up or does it actually increase the speed - skill im using is storm wave

[timid goblet]

new player, listed this for 1ex got spammed. What can I realistically sell it for?

[mental needle]

Yeah I'm legit considering if I roll into him on melee if I just restart the trial on hardcore

[mellow echo]

I haven't had a single essence mob on yet - i am akmost at the end of act2
is that expected?

[mental needle]

I believe aoe would make it longer, so perhaps it's just visual and your brain says it's faster

[half pumice]

probably the case

[slow raven]

I know people used to complain about not being able to locate remaining rares in maps. I see there locations pop up eventually, is that a recent thing post complaining or has that always been a thing?

[mental needle]

If I'm not mistaken there's a guaranteed one at the halani gates, or maybe I've just happened to roll one on three characters

but yes essences are rare in campaign

[mellow echo]

oh ok, maybe ui missed some

thanks

[hallow parrot]

20-x25

[timid goblet]

20ex?

[hallow parrot]

yeh

[timid goblet]

yo im rich

[hallow parrot]

lowest id go is 18x tbh, u hit almost max on bothj minion rolls its nice

id say 20 is on low side, start it at 30 and go down every hr or so

[stone narwhal]

Hi all, can anyone help me with boss act3? Plz

[timid goblet]

thanks for helping

[hallow parrot]

anytime

[wooden quail]

seriously what do i do with all these uncut skill gems?

[mental needle]

Look at them

gaze upon the shinies

[wooden quail]

its too wasteful to throw away but it takes up alot of space lol

[hallow parrot]

if u can afforrd it just buy a gem stash tab bro

its lifechanging

[mental needle]

I'd just keep a few dupes of each tier and eventually you can get rid of all your supports but tier 3 because they can roll everything

[wooden quail]

im waiting for a tab sale before i do it

[mental needle]

and yeah gem stash, but I would wait for sale unless your stash is really getting crowded

[hallow parrot]

thats a smart move tbh

sometimes on sales they also do like the bundles where it sells all the "essential" tabs in abundle for cheaper

[halcyon linden]

can anybody help with Zalmarath?

[wooden quail]

#2┃looking-for-group

when is the next sale? in 2 weeks?

[fading yoke]

is this good?

[mental needle]

not next weekend but the following, so yes 2 weeks

[hallow parrot]

slam an exalt on it

[mental needle]

decent, not great, if you exalt a resist it's pretty good

[hallow parrot]

u have one more suffix so just pray to hit resist

[fading yoke]

got res

[hallow parrot]

huge

massive

[zenith wedge]

Whats the item name that we can put in the tower in endgame to boost the maps? And can we buy it or its just a drop?

[hallow parrot]
