[hallow parrot]

can buy from trade site and its called precursor tablets

[fading yoke]

I'm monk but I'm running these

[hallow parrot]

r u running hybrid eva and es build or full es

[hybrid star]

no life on that too

[hallow parrot]

simply put, the es on ur current gloves are nice BUT, u have 3 mods that are pretty dead imo

[fading yoke]

I have chaos inoculation

[hallow parrot]

even tho u have ci u probs running eldtrch battery too?

wait wrong keystone

was thinking of diff build sory, but anyways those current gloves u have on is better es for sure, but the mods u rolled on the other ones are way better

[bright dagger]

Does a Vaal Orb just give your item an extra slot?

[hallow parrot]

hoenstly just sell the ones u just crafted

[mental needle]

it can, but not always

[opaque kayak]

am i the only one, or are maps freakin laggy today? everything else aint. Like, I literally can't map.

[hallow parrot]

are u oce

[bright dagger]

Bruh I thought did more than that lol

[mental needle]

It does

[fading yoke]

yeah I just placed em, not sure about how much but put em on 5ex for now

[grave knoll]

Hey guys, I need some help with my gearing I think..
lvl 52 stormweaver, I run CI and MoM and I simply die in a 1 shot from any boss..

I am in cruel 2, and simply cant survive the hyena boss hitting me even once!

[opaque kayak]

Singapore server. wtf is happening, hideout and campaign is totally fine, my internet is fine, just mapping is horrendous, literally unplayable. Game couldnt even pause while mapping.

[hallow parrot]

no way bro

way more

[mental needle]

it can reroll affixes, usually bricking the item, it can give items special implicits, it can add an extra socket, it can increase or decrease affixes on uniques past normal bounds. +1/-1 skill level on gems +1 sockets on gems (-1 maybe, I haven't seen that one if it can) +/- quality on gems. Those are all the ones I can think of right now, but there maybe be more

[spark moth]

Hey everyone, I just got to level 70, when should I start investing heavily in my gear? Until now I just got away with 1-2ex pieces.

[mental needle]

those gloves are way more than 5 ex?

bro the economy is fked lol

[hallow parrot]

yeh

@fading yoke this is the item u just placed up top

the next one in line is 1d

[mental needle]

If you're still cruising there's no reason to invest, should wait and save until you find issues. Also #2┃after-acts-help

[bright dagger]

Now this makes sense thank you the info also If there’s any warriors in chat how long did it take you to get your build online?

[mental needle]

aren't those fake listings?

[hallow parrot]

can be but ive sold similar gloves for like 50ex

[mental needle]

Mine felt good once I got perfect strike

[hallow parrot]

which is like halfa divine

[mental needle]

depends what you'e doing

[spark moth]

got it, yea i still oneshot everyting in t3 maps, will start upgrading when i encounter issues i guess

[hallow parrot]

i sold my entire monk build for reroll and the gloves were very similar and it sold for 50ex

but idk about market now. the current rarity issue is ridiculous

[half pumice]

where do i go for the quest "find the source of the azakh-kul poison" in act 3? have already completed the act but this quest remains

[mortal viper]

where am I supposed to "find something that can be placed in the altar"?

in A2 valley of titans

[fading yoke]

lmao

[bright dagger]

Before NG+ or after you got into it?

[mental needle]

jungle ruiins I believe if you pres U you can see where it's connected to on the map

[mental needle]

like after the executioner boss in act 1 when you get a level 5 gem

[half pumice]

thank you!

[hallow parrot]

my personal advice wud be just place it for 70ex and lower it by small increment every hr or so, i really cant tell how much they wud be in current market

cos i guarantee u its worth more thn 5

[fading yoke]

Will do, thanks. I'm completely new to poe. Just reached about 80 hours

[mortal viper]

I cleared titan grotto but didn't find anything

[bright dagger]

No way send me a vid of your build my bonk isn’t bonking v.v

[hallow parrot]

but honestly, dont trust market atm, ggg will be addressing rarity and hopefully they nuke it

[mental needle]

I'm not bonk build, I just levelled with bonks

[zenith wedge]

What does magic monster mean? Is it a good modifier for waystones?

[mental needle]

don't have any footage sry

I can help you though

[mental needle]

they're the blue monsters

it's an ok affix

rares/pack size/rarity/quantity are better I'd say, also #2┃after-acts-help

[mental needle]

You killed the boss?

[mortal viper]

yeah

I got a support gem from the caravan

[mental needle]

he should drop a quest item

the flame

[mortal viper]

hmm

yeah, but I traded the flame for a support gem at the caravan

[zenith wedge]

Ty

[mental needle]

that's fine then

[zenith wedge]

Whats the best affix on precursor tablets to go after?

[mental needle]

just need to get the rest of the materials to make the horn

[mortal viper]

ah ok

[hallow parrot]

watever league mechanic u enjoy the most

[bright dagger]

Ah I see I dm’ed you a pic of the passive skill I’m going towards im level 40 3rd act atm

[mortal viper]

thanks

[zenith wedge]

I want to get better loot

[hallow parrot]

breach

[winter hinge]

guys how do list items on sale i bought the tab but idk its not showing up

[zenith wedge]

Is there something like that?

[hallow parrot]

just get breach tablets and blast them. only if ur build can handle it tho

but no theres no implicit that just gives u more loot

[zenith wedge]

I dont believe that i reached that point

[hallow parrot]

then dont stress too much, i reckon just the default ones that have irradiated are good

push lvl 90

[zenith wedge]

Irradated what does it do ?

[hallow parrot]

cos the irradiated increases levl of area by 1

[molten trout]

somehow alva ended up there and is blocking me from placing the soul core i left the game rejoined shes still there

what do i do 😭

[hallow parrot]

and the exp penalty the bigger the gap between ur lvl and the area lvl gets increasingly bad

so making the area highest level possible is always gonna be beneficial until u hit lvl 90+

[zenith wedge]

Im level 79 now doing maps +8 waystones

How to do that seo?

[hallow parrot]

yeh just keepgrinding dont even both using the tablets

save them

wait til u hit 85+ and finish t15 maps quest

then start farming targeted areas with high density of towers where u can stack multople tablets in an area

zizaran on utube does a great job explaining endgame + tablets etc.

[hybrid star]

try go to the waypoint, ctrl click that area to open a new instance

[molten trout]

found 1 remaining enemy walked him to her and she moved

thanks though

[hybrid star]

that's smart

[half pumice]

quest done what venom should i drink, thinking "30% elemental is best but want to make sure over stun threashold and mana regen

[mental needle]

I usually say the mana regen, but what are you playing?

[half pumice]

warrior/barbarian, using monk skills with it though storm wave

[mellow echo]

is it just me or the campagin areas are really really big

[mental needle]

do you plan to continue using quarterstaff?

[half pumice]

they pretty big second play through they feel smaller

[mental needle]

or just levelling with it

[half pumice]

ill continue kinda works well with monk skills

[mental needle]

I'd say probably mana regen or ailment threshhold, both valid

you can get stun thresh on your side of the tree ez

[half pumice]

okay thanks

ill go mana

[timber sigil]

can anyone explain me, what the F is going on with those giang falling anchors from some elites? nothing written in their passives, but suddenly there is giant crap falling from sky and sending you back to town

this game is becoming more annoying than hard

[mental needle]

essence of torment?

essence monsters do special things

[timber sigil]

oh so it's essence thing?

[mental needle]

yeah they all have special hazards/attacks

[timber sigil]

so it will keep spamming random bullshit on me till i kill main elite?

[mental needle]

Yeah

the anchor has an indicator but it's hard to see on most tilesets

[timber sigil]

bro, fuck this game already, i'm so tired

it's not souls -like genre, it's beyondsomebullshit-like genre

[cold cargo]

anyone here has a guide for the monk people uses, that shoots 3 lightning and 1 taps stuff, yt has fake guides

[mental needle]

storm wave?

[slow raven]

If my game crashes in the middle of my third ascendency trial, is that run cooked?

[mental needle]

Like they swipe up with their s taff and shoot 3 beams of lightning?

[cold cargo]

im not sure what its called sorry, i tried asking in the help build people seems no one wanna answer me hehe

[mental needle]

I believe it's storm wave with upheaval ur talking about

[exotic sierra]

is the curse limit the same as poe1? 1 curse/mark by default?

[mental needle]

yes

need doedre's damning/whispers of doom to get more

[cold cargo]

by anychance u have guide or yt vid of it? im tired watching fake guides🫠

[craggy gyro]

carry me in breach

xesht

[exotic sierra]

hmm, I might be getting baited. this guy has a curse and two marks on hand of chayula.

[scarlet bluff]

yo

what finisher effect would u guys buy?

[exotic sierra]

personally, whatever goes boom or has fire

[humble orbit]

hey, how does one decide how much to level up certain gems? I'm completely new so decided to follow guide https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-infernalist-leveling-guide. But it doesn't specify for most gems if I should level them up or not? If I understand correctly overleveling gems can cause mana problems (which im currently kinda having). Maybe it's explained there and I just don't know how to use this guide? There are specific levels for gems like "Save one level 7 Uncut Skill Gem to cut a Detonate Dead" but does it mean I can and have to level up all other gems to max level I can?

[exotic sierra]

sounds like it only wants DD kept at lv 7

[mental needle]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/coc-balls-invoker-ronarray This one looks decent, but the skill tree has no progression tips

[exotic sierra]

safe to assume everything else should be max level

[humble orbit]

thank you

[mental needle]

is your flammability running you OOM?

[cold cargo]

thank u so much, even without the prog u saying, i can just follow it right?

[mental needle]

because curses don't get that much from levels

[humble orbit]

mostly pain offering, but flamability causes mana issues too even though I run it with inspiration gem

[short sphinx]

I don't see a help channel for non gameplay related questions so maybe this is the right place for this question:

Is it possible to play couch co-op with two character from two different steam accounts on PC? So P1 controls character from steam account A and P2 controls their own character from their own steam account B?

[mental needle]

Yeah, it looks a little squishy to me though so changing some things around may be a good idea, barely any energy shield or evasion nodes

[timid pier]

Well apparantly they wanted the game to be skill based (aka adding dodge roll).. but in the current state of the game there are instant death attacks that you cannot react to along with the fact that visual clarity is some of the worst in any arpg. These are likely to be addressed in EA but in the current state of the game it's luck based unfortunately which is why pure damage and 1 shot them before they can hit you builds are the best right now.

[craggy gyro]

help xesht

[cold cargo]

thank u, if ever it just happens that u have seen better tutorial pls show me, tysm!

[scarlet bluff]

hmm are there like videos of each portal and finisher effect?

[exotic sierra]

yes, it shows links to them in the store

all skill efects are demonstrated in the store

all cosmetics really

[timid pier]

was this patched? because all the on death effects in the store in the game are still images

[exotic sierra]

I have looked thru alot of the store and I have yet to see one that didn't have a video to show it off

[scarlet bluff]

welrd...i cant seem to see it when i mouse over

[mental needle]

Pain offering definitely look like something you should level

So I'd say some mana affixes should do the trick

and the mana regen toxin from act 3 if you're not there yet

[timid pier]

the store might be bugged. it only had still images for the finisher effects when i looked at them.

[exotic sierra]

oh right, forgot about those. there's probly a video on youtube if you look them up

[timber sigil]

they are on a good way, but it feels like 1/3 of game is mentally stuck back in 2011 year. after death effects should not be in that horrific amount with so much almost invisible pools which of course HAS TO BE FKIN CHAOS

[scarlet bluff]

yep thats why io am cuirious XD

[lusty hinge]

there's like 99% of the mtxs with videos, some have just images but you can clearily see what the mtx is

[half pumice]

Are there only 4 max ascendency skill points you can get?

[timber sigil]

not even saying anything about giving us possibility to get second page in backpack, like putting it as item to create in rewards of chaos/sakhem trial

[mental tusk]

Hey guys! I CANT ENTER IN TRIAL 4 IN TRIAL OF SEKHEMAS! BEEN RERUNNING THIS FOR TRICE ALREADY! how to fix this?

[timber sigil]

it's 2024 year, time to figure something else than "oh ye lets keep our traidition for no reason"

[pulsar mortar]

Is the poe2 trading discord here or is it separate?

[timber sigil]

try to change gateway, seems like bug - if your altar is not opening at all

[half pumice]

oh nevermind i see there are 8 i can get of the skill points

[timid pier]

old school is good but they need to get out of their butts with certain ideology. On death effects are garbage, rarity on gear is trash garbage (we want to gear for our build), yadda yadda.. it's early though and there isn't one youtuber that's happy with the endgame so i'm confident it will change. No need to worry yet.

[mental tusk]

altar is opening. however, when entering. im thrown out in log in sceen saying "The terrain generator for the client is out of sync

[scarlet bluff]

i want to see the full effect.

i want to see if the sword fly downward or they just spike u p from the ground

i want to see if the bats and the effect fade off or they just disappear XD

[half pumice]

play it with another person with them hosting

[timber sigil]

at current rate atlas is main reason to not play game. seriously

[half pumice]

the party

[timber sigil]

gonna hope i won't blow up myself from anger till closest patch

[timid pier]

yeah im taking a break until a patch or 2

[storm atlas]

You were always allowed to do that lol

[mental tusk]

So trial 4 is not for solo anymore? lmao

[mental needle]

This can't be fixed from everything I've seen people experience and everyone on the forums

you need a new trial

[half pumice]

temp solution bru idk why it isnt working

[timber sigil]

i've seen advices to not attempt 4th trial due to enormous bugs and wrong hitboxes

[mental tusk]

i restarted it trice. but still out in log in screen

[timber sigil]

i feel you a lot bro, my anger issues are already back from this morning.....

[mental needle]

No, you need to end the run and put in a new djinn barya

[violet belfry]

i hope the trade site gets fixed soon

[mental needle]

it will keep kicking u out

that run is gone and dead

[compact glen]

Anyone know why my poe 2 overlay wont start anymore? earlier i spammed f9 to make it work but now it wont do anything??

[mental tusk]

this player boosting fault. haha

[timid pier]

at least coins are dropping for you lol i can't even attempt my 4th again because i've only ever dropped one coin and i'm level 88 i think

[timber sigil]

i wonder, which kind of guy you have to be to convince everyone in studio that 1 attempt and horrific punishment for death would be good idea

[mental needle]

This isn't a venting channel brother

[topaz phoenix]

PLS HELP! ❤️ Q: Does minion life scale with Player "life/nodes"? Or only with minion life? PLS HELP ❤️

[rustic venture]

only minion life

[humble orbit]

thank you, I have been stalling on picking venom draught in act3 because I couldn't decide between 3 as there are no respects as I understand? Would mana regen be universally good not just rn with my current mana problems? Because I was leaning towards ailment one right now

[minor urchin]

Yo guys, I'm leveling a Gas Arrow ranger (the build from Maxroll) and I need both Strength and Dexterity (and Intellingence but way less) to swap later for Explosive Shot build from Palsteron. I'm in Act 2 Cruel and I'm having a bit issues with Strength cuz I need it for Herald of Ash and the STR requisite is absurdly high. As I go full Evasion, is hard to find STRG rolling in the mods and how the build path it lacks many attribute nodes. I found an implicit with explicit STRG amulet, so I have 30 strg base in that now but i need like 90 and increasing each level for the Herald of Ash

So the question is, any tips to find STRG? I'm kinda rigid on the item changes cuz I can't remove my items that much (in fact, if I change my head I lose Freezing Salvo skill cuz it gives me INT)

[topaz phoenix]

ok but why does Player attack speed and attack dmg increase nodes scale the totem/artillery dmg? But life doesnt?

[unreal bridge]

Can someone who knows Merc tell me - does it make sense to put support gems into basic "Crossbow Shot" if I am constantly using different ammo ? Does it stack in any way ?

[exotic sierra]

no

[mental needle]

In my opinion you're gonna be sitting behind your army so you don't need the threshhold, so even if the mana regen isn't needed later it will be fine.

[exotic sierra]

supports only apply to the shot they are in

[timber sigil]

you're not going to use ordinary shot at all starting from lvl5 or so

[unreal bridge]

I know but the shoot - button never changes so I thought that maybe its relevant in some way

[exotic sierra]

nope

the only relevant shot type is the one you have set

[humble orbit]

thanks

[boreal atlas]

For monk, if you use the ascendancy "let me through grace" where it uses your body armour to give spirit, does this also take away the spirit you gain from completing the campaign ?

[exotic sierra]

no

nothing takes away the campaign spirit, with the exception of the darkness node on the chayula monk ascendancy

[boreal atlas]

Right hmmm, tryna see if I'm missing spirit somewhere, I should have 100 just from campaign, but using the let me through grace, I am only seeing 96 spirit

[timber sigil]

you can use it as "quick storage" for support gems if you feel liek swapping before boss or so

[boreal atlas]

Nah i choose invoker

[honest canopy]

I have 2 items and I'm not sure which is better, can I ask it here?

[frank goblet]

Hey im a lvl 19 merc can anyone help me with that boss where you take the elevator down to that cage of red tentacles and fight it in the arena?

[exotic sierra]

I can't check where in A1 but you get 30 in A1, 30 in normal A3, and 40 in cruel A4

[boreal atlas]

Yes from that rat boss

Done that

[exotic sierra]

the a3 ones are both from the same witch

[scarlet bluff]

wa it is sorceress allowed to use occult skill?

[boreal atlas]

Hmm maybe I am missing act 3 cruel

Gonna re kill the witch boss

[night tapir]

Can you get jewels with strength on I feel like I only find pretty underwhelming jewels

[exotic sierra]

[vivid cedar]

if i start on hardcore and i die do i lose any gear or anything other than convert to standard?

[exotic sierra]

if it's in your stash, it will still be in your HC stash

[vivid cedar]

soo stash stays in hc everything on u goes to standard?

[exotic sierra]

but you will not be able to access items from HC stash in SC and vice versa

[vivid cedar]

tnx

will give it a go with mercenary 🙂

[exotic sierra]

haven't played hc so not sure how death works

[vivid cedar]

me neither 😅

[mental needle]

you can cheat and just make an alt on HC and take everything out of stash, kill them then res on softcore and put the stuff in stash

[vivid cedar]

but will make me tryhard harder fs

[prime patrol]

am I screwed? I leveld my ice strike too much and now it consumes way too much mana and I constantly run out, i can barely play

[mental needle]

if u really want to save all your stuff

[vivid cedar]

ah i see u can make tht anytime u want if i really need something 🙂

[vivid cedar]

i didnt had that problem at all o=

u kill things soo fast u constantly restore mana flask anyways no?

[timber sigil]

get a lower level gem till you fix mana issues

[prime patrol]

well.. I do.. I leveld my skills too much and now I always run out of mp

[exotic sierra]

I had that problem towards endgame on my merc

[vivid cedar]

dang we cant have numbers in name tf??

[timber sigil]

mana leech from physical damage/mana regen on ring will help you

[exotic sierra]

not enough phys

[bitter ingot]

just cleared act 1 with lvl 16 ranger
last boss was fun ,died twice tho
idk what i m doing with build nd gear but enjoying

[vivid cedar]

love to hear it 🙂

[timber sigil]

i'm still wearing one ring only because of 42% mana regen rate there

[exotic sierra]

I hate that leech is hard locked to phys damage, it's so dumb

[timber sigil]

because mages would become immortal with their crazy numbers

[exotic sierra]

I have to spend 96 mana to do damage, mana regen doesn't help much lol

[timber sigil]

they are already broken tbh

[boreal atlas]

Sick done it

[exotic sierra]

make it melee damage then, and add projectile leech

[boreal atlas]

I was missing the 40 spirit from killing the witch in cruel act 3

[exotic sierra]

no reason it has to be phys only

[boreal atlas]

Thanks for the help tech

[tall gulch]

Does increasing stun threshold help with enemies interrupting my attacks?\

[prime patrol]

I cant downlevel a skill or smth can I?

[frank sonnet]

yes

[frank sonnet]

don't think so but you can cut it again with a new gem

[timber sigil]

i've took out my ring with mana leech and 42% mana regen and ....i dont want to see it ever again, so had to place it back

[wooden quail]

when do we actually feel strong? at maps?

[timber cave]

When your build is strong, get better gear, passive tree actually contributing

[wooden quail]

when would that happen usually?
At least for warrior
im at act 3, recuing the girl from the vaal, haven't felt strong so far 😅

[nimble sluice]

at least for my monk, it started feeling better once I entered cruel

I think when you walk into cruel and you actually know what everything does and you have a much bigger passive tree and better gear, stuff just melts(ish)

[timber cave]

Outside of using a potentially weaker skill due to balance, always good to check and see if your weapon is up to par, are your passive tree actually providing good stats etc

The hard thing for it is that its a lot of knowledge and experience that you learn as you play

[wooden quail]

it is. at least its the best for what i can find now.

im just curious for most warriors when do they feel strong

[timber sigil]

i'd say - level 52 is where fun begins, because you have acess to your "ultimate" skills

[timber cave]

My monk was strong the moment i hit lvl 15 since i swapped to the skill i wanted to use which happened to be relatively strong, and i had a fairly good understanding on what im doing from years of playing poe

[wooden quail]

of course you are just mainly saying that "you feel strong when you become strong"

[timber cave]

It really depends on the build

[timber sigil]

for sorceress it's earlier, because they slam with cometfall

[timber cave]

I have a friend that felt strong for the whole of acts, then felt weak in maps cause he had to get better gear

[wooden quail]

oh yeah, thats when mace gets hammer of god right

[timber cave]

The progression in poe is also quite heavily based on gear, not just levels, and even with levels you need to have the right passive tree

[fallen surge]

Oh utzaal is just an ass map. Run past most of the guys and yea don’t even bother trying to fight ur way though

[wooden quail]

surprising since i thought cruel is supposed to be even harder

[fallen surge]

It’s way easier

[timber sigil]

there is also other 2 skills, other thing is - if attribute requements allow you - you can grab other weapon in second slot and use skills from other classess

[timber cave]

The question you asked is too subjective to define

[nimble sluice]

well it's relatively harder but like experience is worth a ton

[timber sigil]

those skillgems are tricky because they are connected to weapon directly, not to class

[nimble sluice]

also once you have enough passive points to really start settling/starting an endgame build, it should feel more smooth

[wooden quail]

use skills from other classess
You mean the spirit skills?

[nimble sluice]

and just access to more skills and t heir supports

[mental needle]

It ebbs and flows, but honestly my warrior felt strong the whole way, single target came online with perfect strike, boneshatter clear carried by entire campaign

[nimble sluice]

any skill

[timber cave]

However if you're asking what warrior builds are strong then a quick search on maxroll or other reputable build guides will tell you

[timber sigil]

no, staff skills, crossbow skills, magic skills...if you have dex/int for it

[mental needle]

totem is also good for levelling, I'm doing it on m y alt

[nimble sluice]

any class can use any skill as long you meet the pre-reqs

whether it's weapon or stat, if any

[fallen surge]

No literally skills form other classes like ranger and merc skills

[timber sigil]

i've made my merc as weapon master and playing with crossbow in main hand/bow as support weapon for lightning rod/stormcaller arrow

[wooden quail]

on utzaal i had too much damage on the mobs that my boneshatter couldnt proc so i had to switch some support gems around.
I do feel quite paper though despite like 73% DR from armmour

[timber sigil]

seen already some sick titan with crossbow, exploding whole screen with 2 shots

[nimble sluice]

armour is so bad

[mental needle]

well armor only works on phys damage

[wooden quail]

oh, those are weapon skills.
Only the spirit skills are defined by classes in the game from what i understand

[timber cave]

That "DR" from armor only applies to phys damage

[nimble sluice]

especially compared to evasion/es

[mental needle]

armor is not bad in the campaign lol

[timber cave]

Enemies can hit you with phys, elemental, and chaos dmg

[nimble sluice]

do you have high elemental res?

chaos you can kinda ignore

[timber cave]

For acts a majority of dmg you take is elemental dmg with some exceptions here and there

[weak crescent]

lol

[wooden quail]

it was higher but i mistakenly thought armour is flat DR
it was higher in utzal.

[nimble sluice]

and you lose 10% of fire/lightning/cold res per act

so that's 60% you will lose once you hit endgame

[fallen surge]

None of them are defined by classes bru it’s only by the weapon type and it’s relative stat

[nimble sluice]

can someone translate the item to english lol

what am I looking at

[timber cave]

Also do note that while having high armor is good, armor and evasion are secondary layers of defense, your primary defense is always a high life pool, or a high es pool

[fallen surge]

What’s the item?

[weak crescent]

icy staff

[nimble sluice]

oooh

[fallen surge]

Oh nah that’s like 1 ex

[wooden quail]

Again, spirit gems aren't defined by weapon type. How do you have a weapon type for the spirit gems lmao

[nimble sluice]

well for leveling, probably fine

[digital shuttle]

anyone else really struggling with mouse movement in ranger class? i'm new to poe2 but i much prefer mouse movement in arpg's and this doesn't feel right 😭

[mental needle]

so what, taryn's shiver?

[fallen surge]

Bud u can get spirit skills from other classes 😭😭😭

[timber cave]

A lot of practice, in poe1 we didnt have wasd so everyone just played mouse movement only like we're playing a moba

[fallen surge]

R u high or what

[wooden quail]

But ES requires intelligence to wear ES armour.
So how do I get tanky as warrior?

[digital shuttle]

yeah the movement feels completely different to poe1 and i feel like boss fights are truly meant for wasd movement

[fallen surge]

U don’t lmao

[timber cave]

Primarily focusing on life on gear then, and then your secondary focus should be elemental resistances

[fallen surge]

Run through uzaal it’s just an ass map

[digital shuttle]

also did they get rid of attack without moving or am i missing something?

[wooden quail]

That's what I said? You said none of the spirit skills are defined by the classes

[timber cave]

In fact in poe, the priority when it comes to survivability of your build in endgame, is to always cap your resistances first, then only worry about anything else

While in acts you dont have to worry too too much about resistances

[nimble sluice]

I think by defined, they mean your spirit skills aren't locked behind class selection

[fallen surge]

Yea cause none of them are. U can get grim feast even if ur a warrior

Oh yea get that if ur struggling

[timber cave]

But its a big difference between having lets say 20% fire res vs 60% fire res

[wooden quail]

Oh

[nimble sluice]

they may be classified under different classes but those are like "recommendations" or they just thematically fit the class

[timber cave]

It can add up to like 3 times the fire damage you take (i forgot the calculations)

[wooden quail]

Yeah I know that you can take spirit gems from any class

[wooden quail]

Thanks for the hint I will check it out

[timber cave]

You mentioned that you're in act 3 though, so as long as you're not having too much trouble id say just keep playing on

[fallen surge]

Yep

[nimble sluice]

isn't warrior build nowadays go titan with giant's blood so you dual wield a 2 hander and a shield or something along those lines

[timber cave]

Story is quite forgiving in not being strong since you can keep fighting a boss again and again and you dont get punished by it

[timber cave]

depends on build, i know a lot are doing big aoe, not sure what the actual build is

[nimble sluice]

yeah that's slam into boneshatter I think

[wooden quail]

Yeah it's just I have never felt like super powerful.
There were some areas when I can mow through mobs but that felt boring and warranted.
I'm starting to think this game isn't for me lol.

I enjoy the buildcrafting alot though.

[timber cave]

Giant's blood is probably only in maps id imagine cause of the attribute requirement

[timber cave]

Well, id say either give it a go til you finish the acts, or try a different build, or maybe even try poe1

[mental needle]

having a shield is basically mandatory on any actually melee warrior build

[nimble sluice]

At late game maps, you just kinda end up doing a lot of one shotting

[mental needle]

you need the avoidance

[timber cave]

The overall power level of your character in poe1 is way higher

[nimble sluice]

feels very satisfying

[fallen surge]

Keep playing it gets better when u can buy items with currencies

[wooden quail]

I tried ranger and sorcc using their expected weapons. I didn't like tanger because support gems were not behaving as expected and sorcc feels really boring

[fallen surge]

Oh yea make sure that u are spending ur currencies

[nimble sluice]

are you bored becasue of the class or because early game is just slow

cus early game kinda sucks for everyone

[fallen surge]

Real

[wooden quail]

I only spend the one that brings grey to blue and adding one more line to blue.

[timber cave]

I would say, that if you're new to poe, it'll take awhile for a build to feel fun unless you're lucky with your homebrewed build since its a lot of learning how the buildcrafting works

[fallen surge]

It’s the problem with all arpgs

[fallen surge]

Nuh uh bru u can’t just rely on ur own loot

Trade mate

[nimble sluice]

endgame will eventually be this smooth but it takes a long while

[wooden quail]

For sorcc and ranger I think it's because of thr class. Because warrior is actually my third class.

One thing I don't like about this game is for how big the maps are they don't give alot of levels.

[timber cave]

And if you dont wanna go through the hassle of all that, there's also the option of looking at what content creators / streamers are playing with their builds and see if that's what you want it to look like

[nimble sluice]

if you go through campaign normally, you'll be a bit higher level than the actual zone

which is generally fine

[wooden quail]

I think I am currently 4 levels higher bit it doesn't feel that way lol

[nimble sluice]

map size is kinda crazy yeah, movement speed on boots is bis

[timber cave]

Yeah the campaign is quite boring outside of bosses, its a fairly agreed upon sentiment

[wooden quail]

I look at existing builds just to see what nodes they take, as in more interesting options, but I don't like copying the build straight up.

[timber cave]

One thing in poe, is that levels dont do much unless you're getting notable passives or hitting a level req for a specific unique etc

[nimble sluice]

well make sure you're understanding the intentions and the synergies of what you're taking

[timber cave]

Because if you think about it, those 4 levels could be just 2 attribute nodes and maybe 2 small nodes that gives +12% damage

[wooden quail]

Yeah I realized. Since most of your nodes are just attributes

[timber cave]

Dont think of levels = power, it really is a lot of things coming together

[arctic bobcat]

are the quests repeated in cruel acts ? like doing the venom crypts in cruel act 3 rn and i should ge t a reward but i got nothing

[nimble sluice]

every single one I think?

[fallen surge]

Try getting items recommended for warrior builds

[nimble sluice]

save for tutorial stuff

[fallen surge]

The gems can be different

[mental needle]

you get a different venom draught in cruel yes

[timber cave]

But do you like what their gameplay looks like in their gameplay showcase? i think that's kinda how you decide if the game is for you or not

[wooden quail]

Just stuff that makes sense I guess?
Like more damage, more attack speed. % more armour.
I'm not doing spreadsheet level optimization.

[arctic bobcat]

yeah weird i reached the end of the crypt but the venom vial was not there

so idk what happened

[nimble sluice]

You don't need spreadsheets but it's the notables you have to be wary about

and your buffs as well

[mental needle]

huh... you clicked the corpse?

[fallen surge]

Click the corpse

[arctic bobcat]

yup i did ,

[fallen surge]

Bring the syringe back to the women

[nimble sluice]

like my monk revolves around 3 abilities and what, 2 offensive auras and 4 defensive auras to keep me alive? It's a fine line to abalnce

[fallen surge]

U got the quest item yet?

Check ur inventory first

[nimble sluice]

raw damage will only get you so far if it doesn't help your core skill set

[arctic bobcat]

even the quest tracker on the map says "quest completed" but no vemon syringe

[arctic bobcat]

no thats the thing

not in my inventory either

[fallen surge]

Go back to the dealer

In spawn

[wooden quail]

Can you link me?
Or is your video a good example.

My current opinion is that the boss fights are really poorly designed from a gameplay perspective.
They want the "hard melee game" feel/route but they don't do the work that those games have to do: have the attack hurtbox align with the visual model. And also monster hit boxes.

[fallen surge]

Might be a visual bug or smth

[arctic bobcat]

in the camp ?

[fallen surge]

Ye

The old women

[wooden quail]

And the mobs are just mobs of course.

[fallen surge]

Talking about her son

[arctic bobcat]

nope nothing

[nimble sluice]

Idk if it's just me but the hitboxes feel fine for most cases

[mental needle]

Really? Most of the hitboxes in poe2 seem really accurate to me?

there's a couple sus ones but overall good

[nimble sluice]

occasionally I get stuck or there's one or two bosses that are really awkward

[fallen surge]

That’s basically endgame

[wooden quail]

The giant bosses were particularly notable.
Mammoth boss as well.

[fallen surge]

Rangers more fun imo cause u just shred

But it’s defo getting nerfed so spending 5 divs on HOWA is useless

[arctic bobcat]

nope nothing even after checking her

[fallen surge]

Oof

[wooden quail]

And the trials of chaos. One of the bosses spit freeze in an arc. I was standing right in front of him but before the arc and I still get hit by freeze damage

[fallen surge]

Try reloading the crypt

[fallen surge]

Oh don’t do chaos for ur first few ascendancies

[nimble sluice]

oh yeah if you're a bit too close then you could get hit

[fallen surge]

The sanctum is much more rewarding

[nimble sluice]

trial of chaos is easier for melee imo

[arctic bobcat]

might just do that

[mental needle]

It's not an arc it's on the ground

[fallen surge]

Tbh sanctum is pretty easy with the correct build

[mental needle]

if ur talking chimera

[arctic bobcat]

but how do you reload a area which dosent have a waypoint ?

[fallen surge]

U tp to the way stone connect to the crypt

Then u reload that map

[arctic bobcat]

ahgh ok

[fallen surge]

And then go into it

[arctic bobcat]

annoying

[fallen surge]

And then go to crypt

Yea

[nimble sluice]

I mean both are I guess yeah. I think I ended up doing trial of sekhemas for ascendancies 1 and 3 and trial of chaos for 2

I probably will do trial fo chaos for 4th

four floors of sekhemas is just ugh

[wooden quail]

its an arc on the ground iirc

Also alot of the bosses, if not all have this invisible barrier that you cant move towards, which would be fine, except when they get stunned and their model leans on one side and you aren't sure if your melee will hit (sometime it doesn't)

[mental needle]

You also are probably just missing some attacks

[fallen surge]

What ascendancy r u on

[mental needle]

like because of accuracy

that's a problem on warrior

[wooden quail]

i have the never miss attacks node :)

[nimble sluice]

what's the name of that node

[wooden quail]

sec

[nimble sluice]

I'm just curious

[mental needle]

resolute technique

my beloved

[fleet portal]

anyone got a good endgame spark build i do like 200 dps rn at lvl 48

[mental needle]

I clicked that shit 100s of times in poe1

[wooden quail]

so yes, its defo a hitbox issue.

[nimble sluice]

never crit, ew

monk revolves on crit lol

[queen sinew]

when should i focus on gearing up ? late game?

[mental needle]

building crit bottom left of tree is dogass

so RT is good

[fallen surge]

200dps? Bud buy some better rings on trade market

[arctic bobcat]

reloaded the entire map in the waypoint , went to venom crypts ....its still the previous isntance

[fallen surge]

Any ring

[nimble sluice]

you kinda always need to gear up @queen sinew

[fleet portal]

what main stats am i looking for that boost dps?

[primal edge]

@mental needle after your little help with the mf 😄

[fallen surge]

Damn mb then

[nimble sluice]

you lose 10% elemental res (not chaos) each act so you need to keep those res up

[primal edge]

played till now from yesterday

[arctic bobcat]

am i fucked

[nimble sluice]

then you steadily need weapon upgrades to make sure your damage doesn't fall behind

[mental needle]

You must ctrl click on the node to load afresh instance

[wooden quail]

I just feel liek if you want your playerbase to tell others to "get good at dodging lol"
your game to be like a "hard melee game"
you should have well animated attacks that align with the hurtbox and is very easily identifable.

[arctic bobcat]

yeah i did

[mental needle]

I think you overestimate how much they want the game to be like dark souls

[queen sinew]

ah ok, just as a new player hard to know when should i swap my gear

[nimble sluice]

The attacks are quite well animated and identifiable

[fallen surge]

Yea

[nimble sluice]

there's not a single boss you could tell me whose main attacks are obscure

[fallen surge]

It’s just the on death effects

[wooden quail]

i mean with reference to how they align with the hurtbox

and also the monster's hitbox

[nimble sluice]

eh the hurtboxes are rather aligned

[fallen surge]

• rare death effects in maps

[nimble sluice]

like I said, there are notable exceptions but they are exceptions

[arctic bobcat]

ohhh wait okay

[frank sonnet]

if you reloaded the jungle map and then clicked on venom crypts... you didn't actually make a new venom crypts instance. You need to ctrl click on the entrance to venom crypts and make a new venom crypts

[arctic bobcat]

thank youuu

[fallen surge]

Sry sry

[frank sonnet]

ah you saw 🙂

[arctic bobcat]

no worries

[mental needle]

I still have no idea what the plague bird does in ultimatum

[arctic bobcat]

tysm

imma retry this

[wooden quail]

feels like at least half of the bosses.
I mean i defo wouldn't go back and fight each boss just so that i can tell you in this conversation exactly what attack or what model/state the boss have bad hitbox/hurtbox, but its prevalent enough that i find it an issue.

[mental needle]

but not because he kills me like just every attack he does seems like it does literally nothing

[nimble sluice]

I would wait till you go through cruel again until you make that statement

[mental needle]

I think the only boss I have a huge issue with targetting and stuff on is colossus in act 2

[nimble sluice]

I find that really hard to believe that half of all bosses have that jank of a hitbox

[mental needle]

and his knife hitbox is off

[nimble sluice]

and I play melee as well, so I should notice such things

[wooden quail]

its really a non issue only when you melt the boss in 30 seconds.

[nimble sluice]

well I did not melt bosses in act 3 normal mind you

[fallen surge]

The guy with the big flaming hammer in act 3 defo got some clunky hitboxes

[nimble sluice]

my build only truly went online in endgame because I accidentally made my key herald useless

[mental needle]

I'm playing a mediocre bossing build deep in maps, it takes me like 3-4 minutes to kill them

so I actually play the fights

and the hitboxes and telegraphs are all pretty good

[nimble sluice]

boss fights lategame are scary if I can't kill within the freeze window lol

[fallen surge]

3-4 minutes?????? Bud this ain’t dark souls

[nimble sluice]

yeah 3-4 mins is a bit absurd I think

[fallen surge]

Yea it’s either I die or u die

[mental needle]

ssf gear. no bully

[wooden quail]

also i rely alot on stun, im not sure if monk does as well, so that could be a contributing factor

[nimble sluice]

oh ssf

ok fair enough, carry on

[timber sigil]

why do people are placing +1 to elemental level gems into spirit ward? what does it affect?

[fading carbon]

Anyone free to help with trial 1 please?

[nimble sluice]

monk relies on freeze or just straight one shotting

[wooden quail]

wait what?
i take like 5-10 minutes no joke...

[mental needle]

yeah it's ssf corrupting cry warbringer

[fallen surge]

True giga Chad

[wooden quail]

i mean not after my 2nd ascendancy

[nimble sluice]

I would recheck your gear and talents to be safe, 5-10 is like even more absurd

[wooden quail]

just before that

[mental needle]

true gigachad is ssfhc

I am but a noob

[wooden quail]

after 2nd ascendancy its like idk 2 mins?

[nimble sluice]

ok that's better

5-10 and Idk if you're just nervous to go in or what

[wooden quail]

it feels like 30 seconds to 2 mins but idk.
But yeah if im going at the current rate i defo wouldn't be so critical of the telegraphs lol

also could just be i really liked nioh 2 so i have higher standards

[timber sigil]

why do people are placing +1 to elemental level gems into sorcery ward - witch hunter? what does it affect?

[mental needle]

if you put poe2 next to souls-likes you will have a bad time

it really isn't that even if I think the bosses are good

[nimble sluice]

that should just increase the level of the skill itself so it's just naturally better

[wooden quail]

yeah i understand, but if the game requires you to dodge attacks then i would expect a higher quality.

[fallen surge]

A game with a dodge roll = dark souls prove me wrong

[timber sigil]

yea but they place +1 to lightning +1 to fire and +1 to ice - it will give +3 in total?

[fallen surge]

It’s an Arpg ur suppose to gear up and shi

[nimble sluice]

yeah

[timber sigil]

oh ye it is lmao

[nimble sluice]

monks have a skill that's all three elements

so having one of each is effectively a +3

[vivid cedar]

dang mercenary is lit

[wooden quail]

but some people tell me to get gud at rolling :v

[timber sigil]

i could just put in and put out to see it by myself, so dumb eh

[nimble sluice]

gemling merc is something alright

[fallen surge]

No ur suppose to buy gear from other people in the community

Don’t tell me that u don’t even have a single ex farmed up

[nimble sluice]

well eh, Idk about act 3 normal though

[fallen surge]

Like aren’t u already in act 3

[nimble sluice]

I got away with "SSF" until like act 3 cruel

or act 2 cruel

[wooden quail]

i have a few
but i don't think i need to trade right now right.

[fallen surge]

I was struggling w ranger in act 2

[nimble sluice]

better off saving for a majorly good upgrade once you've finalized your build and you know for sure what stats you're going for

[fallen surge]

Like I’m dead serious

[nimble sluice]

get good™️ then

[fallen surge]

I bought myself a bow

[burnt glade]

How? I lm underleveled in a2 and flying thru it

[nimble sluice]

The vendors were clutch for me

[fallen surge]

And it basically cruised me till cruel act 2

[fallen surge]

20m gold on hands

No luck

[nimble sluice]

I mean for leveling gear, it was apparently enough I guess

[vivid cedar]

why not xD?

[arctic bobcat]

weird ....i did venom crpyts again and theres no corpse

[fallen surge]

It defo is

[arctic bobcat]

and this is the last room next to the checkpoint

[fallen surge]

That isn’t the right area bru

[timber sigil]

will there be better flasks than from lvl60?

[arctic bobcat]

wait huh

[nimble sluice]

transcendent flask is highest tier I wanna say?

[fallen surge]

Ur suppose to go to a place with a checkpoint

[arctic bobcat]

yeah there is a checkpoint

[wooden quail]

thanks everyone for all your answers ngl
though i will prob go back to playing random indie games, or even warframe.

[fallen surge]

U can get unique flasks for a cheap 6 div

[nimble sluice]

have fun then

[fallen surge]

Fr? Show

[wooden quail]

you will see me around because i spent like 60 dollars on this game xd

[nimble sluice]

could you show the whole map

[fallen surge]

Check the whole map then idk

[vivid cedar]

....

[arctic bobcat]

it even had the point of interest mark

[timber sigil]

i'm too poor to even think about it, so was more asking about pleb flasks for homeless (

[fallen surge]

Nope

[arctic bobcat]

this tiny thing

[fallen surge]

Just like upgrade it

[wooden quail]

also the buildcrafting on this game is really good.
Though it just feels like the gameplay doesn't match.

[nimble sluice]

I just run your classic transcendent flasks, should be fine enough

eh for EA, gameplay is pretty decent

[fallen surge]

Iont know then

[nimble sluice]

every class has a steamroll game option build which is neat

[fallen surge]

Sry

[nimble sluice]

I was expecting one class to be heavily undertuned or something

[timber sigil]

i have flasks with increased amount recovery and autofill, that's why i was wondering - will there be from higher level, because i want to add some quality there

[wooden quail]

isn't the game releasing soon tm anyway.

Anyway, i still don't understand why people 1:1 copy builds.
I don't know how they can play through the game like that, it sounds boring as hell.

[nimble sluice]

well if you have a transcendent flask, I don't think so

[fallen surge]

Iont think u need better flasks

[nimble sluice]

6 months minimum EA length

iirc

it's gonna be a while

[fallen surge]

Trust me it doesn’t

Ur suppose to build upon the guides

[nimble sluice]

also some people 1:1 builds because they rather just get through the gameplay first

[fallen surge]

Like not completely follow every step

[nimble sluice]

if you don't enjoy theorycrafting or you just don't have the time to learn everything, a guide is neat

[fallen surge]

But rather build something based on it

[fallen surge]

Mhm

[wooden quail]

lemme restart my game and show you guys what i did

[wooden quail]

isn't the entire game about theorycrafting though.

[nimble sluice]

like once I go back to class, I ain't got time to cook something super fresh

uh it can be

but not necessarily

[fallen surge]

Show ur gears

[wooden quail]

i really don't think following a guide to 1 shot everythiing is fun
it just feels like pressing buttons

[fallen surge]

Like ur main weapon

[nimble sluice]

you're not graded on build uniqueness but on its efficacy

well you can homebrew if you want, there's nothing against that

[fallen surge]

Cause I think ur severely under leveled with gear if ur struggling with damage

[small girder]

when will GGG start work ??

[nimble sluice]

I just think people who want to go kill stuff faster but don't have the time to invest like we do probably are gonna yoink a guide for some guidance at least

[wooden quail]

sec, but i will admit again (said it just now) i threw away a better body armour lol
The weapon is just the best currently for what i found. not that i think its good etc

[nimble sluice]

I have 112 hours into the game and I'm only half the playtime of some other folks

[fallen surge]

9th? Some where around that time periods

[mental needle]

No. Most people find buildmaking tedious

[wooden quail]

ehhhhhh i don't think the gameplay is that fun

[mental needle]

they want to blast and get loot

[nimble sluice]

well to each their own

[timber sigil]

at the time when you will return to work, they also have families, kids and rights to celebrate christmas. go touch some grass

[fallen surge]

Real

[nimble sluice]

I find it fun, I've done probably a couple hundred maps minimum

[wooden quail]

if you have an OP build you just kill everything.
I think your own OP build, its fun but if its someone else then its alreadyu what you expected. And theres no challenge. so i can't relate to how that would feel fun

[nimble sluice]

there's still a minimum skill floor to use said build

[crystal bone]

Can someone help me kill Mawdun mine boss ?

[fallen surge]

I mean temporalis lightning is pretty fun so

[wooden quail]

if its your own OP build then even if theres no challenge it would be fun because well its yours

[nimble sluice]

also some get the dopamine just from the killing part

oh yay half my screen has been deleted

[fallen surge]

Mhm

Lightning ranger + thief’s torment

[small girder]

oh so they offer a world production that 2.5 million people will buy and then they have a vacation and they are entitled to it because they have families is that what you are telling me ? Are you stupid or what ?

[nimble sluice]

I homebrewed most of mine then I had help from Church of Invoker to refine

[wooden quail]

i took the armour in the bottom right because this was before i had the convo about armour in this chat earlier.

[fallen surge]

And u watch ur screen lag for a second

[nimble sluice]

I am blasting more than other

I think I'm ready for t18s now

smoked a t17

[mental needle]

game got delayed so they taking a break earlier into release than expected

cry

[fallen surge]

Attack speed on warrior?

[wooden quail]

2h is really really slow

[nimble sluice]

also it's christmas and new years season

[mental needle]

that attack speed wheel is p good

[nimble sluice]

major companies have breaks for this holiday season

[fallen surge]

Bro cry about it

[mental needle]

it also saved u some mana

[nimble sluice]

the entitlement is crazy

[wooden quail]

ands ome dex as well for support gems

[fallen surge]

Oh I have no idea I don’t play warrior

[fallen surge]

Fr

[exotic sierra]

if you don't like devs having reasonable breaks, play something else

[nimble sluice]

I'm gonna be honest, expecting a non-essential company to be mainly or fully functional around a major holiday season is absurd

it's not an expectation you should have

[mental needle]

I see you don't have the crit defense node for armor

that node is very very good

btw

[wooden quail]

tbh i think the way the guy phrased that is very asshole but if the company did promise it i think hes point is not wrong

[wooden quail]

200% armour on crit right?

yeah i saw that one

[mental needle]

yes

[noble scaffold]

Im looking for tanky build anyone have a reccomendation? (any class)

[mental needle]

they didn't promise it lol

[nimble sluice]

I mean promise what

[fallen surge]

We got well over a month worth of content

[wooden quail]

promise as in the company said they will release it at this date or whatever.

[nimble sluice]

we already had our first major patch released before the holidays

[wooden quail]

i don't know if they did.

[fallen surge]

I feel like a majority of us can wait 10 days for them to fix their stuff

[nimble sluice]

well the release date is far far from now

[wooden quail]

im just saying if they did and they did not deliver then his point is warranted

[nimble sluice]

they're just complaining about why the game is not currently being fixed for bugs and stuff

or rather why there doesn't seem to be any fixes atm

[scarlet bluff]

is the story a sequel or prequel to PoE?

[wooden quail]

lmao. ok then i can't defend the guy

[mental needle]

20 years later

sequel

[scarlet bluff]

ohh damn 20 years? sheesh...

[fallen surge]

Isn’t it a prequel?

[nimble sluice]

from EA FAQ itself too:

How long is Early Access likely to run for?

As long as needed, we expect at least 6 months

[exotic sierra]

both kinda

[fallen surge]

Cause Alya didn’t know that she could time travel

[exotic sierra]

endgame seems to be a prequel

[wooden quail]

@mental needle wioth that node, would it mean that if the critical hit was with frost damage my armour is essentially frost resist?

[fallen surge]

Mhm

[mental needle]

No armor still only applies to phys

[wooden quail]

fak

[mental needle]

it just means if you have 1000 armor you effectively have 2000 against a crit

[fallen surge]

Oh yea armor is horrible in endgame

[wooden quail]

even in acts it feels that way

[fallen surge]

Ur better off with es or evasion im afraid

[wooden quail]

would they ever buff armour?

[mental needle]

armor is so good in campaign

[nimble sluice]

hopefully

[fallen surge]

Hopefully

[primal edge]

is there any recommend for a belt , i'm infenral witch btw

[mental needle]

they will likely buff armor to the formula it is in poe1

[nimble sluice]

I'm hoping life and armour get boosted

[covert atlas]

Armor took me comfortably to tier 14

[wooden quail]

whats the formula?
or at least how it works at a high level

[mental needle]

becaue they're using an old formula rn

[covert atlas]

Then it fell apart

[fallen surge]

Ingenuity belt

[nimble sluice]

ain't that belt hella pricey

like 30 div or something

[mental needle]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Armour go wild

[fallen surge]

Or something cheaper like the coil ornate belt

[primal edge]

have 600ex 😄

[nimble sluice]

those are the low rolls though

[fallen surge]

No those are heavy bricked ones

[wooden quail]

nooo i want you to spoon feed me a quick summary on how it works in poe2 vs poe1
|| iam very shameless||

[nimble sluice]

600 ex is like 5 div atm

[fallen surge]

That’s 6 divs

[mental needle]

Armor works the same way fundamentally

[fallen surge]

Iont know then

[mental needle]

it's just less effective in poe2, worse numbers

armor is good against small hits and progressively worse the bigger the hit is

[covert atlas]

You just have way less armor in PoE2 yea

[primal edge]

and i dont find the Ingenuity belt in the market

[mental needle]

you can tank infinite arrows with it but not many slams

[nimble sluice]

amulets and body armour can have spirit iirc

[primal edge]

body armour

ammy

[half pumice]

[primal edge]

i got shiled too with spirit

[mental needle]

What are you wondering?

[maiden summit]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[mental needle]

it breaks enemy armor, they lose their resistance to physical damgae

[primal edge]

no

ammy

[fallen surge]

Amulets

[primal edge]

and shileds

[fallen surge]

But kinda expensive

[mental needle]

helm corruption can get spirit

[fallen surge]

1 div for something decent

[nimble sluice]

[nimble sluice]

10...

huh

[zenith wedge]

where to go for Djinn Barya i forgot the place

[nimble sluice]

brb, getting me a magic find set

[primal edge]

rn i'm level 60 and i'm using it

[fallen surge]

Level 60 with 600 ex?

[primal edge]

xDDDD

[fallen surge]

Dang

[nimble sluice]

magic find in 15s is gonna go crazy

[primal edge]

yeah thats what i did

[nimble sluice]

gonna farm divines all day

(I've only seen one in 110 hours)

ex are so inflated rn, a div is 117 ex atm

[fallen surge]

Got a div from an expedition chest

[primal edge]

was playing poe1 , so i know about the game a little bit and got some help from ppl here

[fallen surge]

😭😭😭

[primal edge]

so i upgraded my mf , and just farmed constantly

[maiden summit]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[fallen surge]

Oh alr

[half pumice]

wwondering if it is worth putting "exploit weakness" and "splinter" on a skill. Splinter says break armour is equal to 15 percent of physical damage. Would it then break in one hit from the skill? And then using exploit weakness to deal 50 percent more damage as it says it consumes broken armour to deal that amount

[primal edge]

fr

[half pumice]

prob not understanding it tho

[primal edge]

didnt saw div once till now

got like 200mf

[nimble sluice]

time to buy a magic find ring

gonna take off pol for it lmao

[mental needle]

you're understanding it correctly, but there's no guarantee it instantly breaks armor, each enemy has different armor levels

[half pumice]

ahh true

[primal edge]

allready bought 2 😄

[mental needle]

typically people will put splinter on a supportive skill and exploit on a main dps skill since splinter itself does no damage

[timid coral]

are items requiring higher level stronger?

[primal edge]

beside the shiled everything got mf

[mental needle]

They can roll higher affixes, so potentially

[timid coral]

ok

[half pumice]

oh true let me test it out ty

[nimble sluice]

if I take off bothr ings, I lose 30% cold and fire res and 1/7th my damage

[primal edge]

damn

[nimble sluice]

I don't need res though

if I one shot everything first

[primal edge]

i need only fire res

[nimble sluice]

good way to test heh

[primal edge]

c

[nimble sluice]

lemme go find some rings

[frank sonnet]

no, items with a higher item level can have better affixes. Required level is determined by the item base (and higher level item bases do have better es/eva/armour and dps) but the affixes are more important. If the item HAS very good affixes that will increase its required level too

[clever geode]

guys for poison concoction which do i add for 3rd and 4th point

[primal edge]

yeah amizing way to test it

[vivid cedar]

guys if i blind/stun/freeze enemies they get high resistance for some time right?

[fleet portal]

does the standalone client load faster than steam cause steam takes about 2min to load to new locations?

[nimble sluice]

Idk about blind

but stun and freeze yes

[frank sonnet]

no

[nimble sluice]

steam does not take me 2 mins

[frank sonnet]

to that ailment being reapplied, yes

[clever geode]

you take 2 min

[primal edge]

i dont think on blind you get any res

btw

i'm not sure

[frank sonnet]

yes blind is different

[vivid cedar]

any idea how long? im playing mercenaries soo ik when to switch back

[timid coral]

i seeeee

[nimble sluice]

what's the magic find mod called @primal edge

is it rarity or something

[primal edge]

rarity of items found

[nimble sluice]

ok cool cool

[frank sonnet]

and just to be clear, "required level" and "item level" are totally separate, you can have a required level of 1 and an item level of 100

[primal edge]

yep

i bought it for like 4 ex

i can give it you free if you want too

[nimble sluice]

nah my amulet is too much stats to take off

[primal edge]

np

[nimble sluice]

ty though

[primal edge]

anytime

[nimble sluice]

it's a pretty stacked amulet

[primal edge]

its stacked

[nimble sluice]

only uh 7 ex or something

[primal edge]

but mf is op rn

so i prefer mf

[nimble sluice]

my rings are 25 ex total I think

yeah but I need to make sure I kill stuff first lol

I think I can farm 15s now

[primal edge]

just bought it

pretty stacked

[hot quiver]

hi i need to replace my sceptre asap as im 54 and its still 41. Is this one good it only have 4 lines?

[nimble sluice]

my div went into this bad boi

I forgot some traders just don't reply to whispers

[clever geode]

[mellow echo]

is there a awakened trade app for poe2 as well?

[clever geode]

hate those

[primal edge]

damn

[timid coral]

yes i got that

ty

also, i have these blue, green and red mushrooms from act 3 (i think) and i've just entered cruel act 1. What are these for? 🧐

[mental needle]

there's a lady in the apex of filth you can give them to for some flasks, it's not really important by now

[proud patio]

can anyone help me complete the 2nd trial?

[mental needle]

you can just drop them when you go out into the world, just not in town

[timid coral]

ok ok

ty

[tulip stirrup]

anyone know any fixes for network ms spikes?

its miserable right now :<

[primal edge]

good?

[small girder]

no you need minion lvl

[primal edge]

allready got it on my hel and ammy

so i can manage to not pay attention

[nimble sluice]

1ex heh @primal edge

[clever geode]

dam that

mf

what's the perfect roll for it

[nimble sluice]

I'd be down to drop like 5 ex for a ring with that much mf

[primal edge]

damn

how much?

i've got 33% on my ring

bought it for like 3ex

[nimble sluice]

3ex

ok I got my two rings

[primal edge]

damn

get me 2 m8

[nimble sluice]

alright wish me luck

into a breach I go

[clever geode]

then wear ingenuity

[desert otter]

hello all, lil question since i am new to poe2 and got this ring with orb of chance on a emerald ring. Can someone tell me if its any good? i saw on the trading site that it goes for 2 divine orbs

[mellow echo]

how/when do i get unbound avatar gem?

[nimble sluice]

yeahif I could find one

[primal edge]

hope best for you

[nimble sluice]

unbound avatar should be auto added to your skills iirc

[primal edge]

cant use othe rings

[mellow echo]

its a gem right ?

[primal edge]

pretty bad , i can get more stasts by 2 rings

[desert otter]

i wonder why people sell it then for 2 divine orbs lol

[mental needle]

it's a skill that you get from the invoker monk ascendancy @mellow echo

[mental needle]

it's very good for campaign and I believe people are using it in boss fights to remedy mana issues

[mellow echo]

ah ok

[nimble sluice]

bro I got stuck and cornered

that's so unfair

[desert otter]

makes sense

[mellow echo]

which trial gives that? 1st or later?

[mental needle]

seeing it be this expensive hurts my poe1 brain, but yeah it's quite good in this game with mana state rn

[mental needle]

it's locked behind a node, so you would need to complete 2 trials to get it

[nimble sluice]

you need 4 points to get there so at least 2nd ascendancy

no trial specifically gives it though

[mellow echo]

cool, ty all

[lethal patrol]

Is anyone willing to lvl me up fast in endgame, I'm in act 3 lvl 30 and i want to get stronger as fast as possible

[primal edge]

just play take your time

way more fun

instead of getting boosted

[timid coral]

i've just entered act1 on cruel and can't beat 2nd ascendancy. am i bad?

[blazing narwhal]

need help with titan grotto boss
anyone available?

[nimble sluice]

I out leveld my ascendacies by so much

#2┃looking-for-group @blazing narwhal

[timid coral]

i'll take that as a no 🥲

[ripe owl]

I couldn't beat the first ascendancy till I overlevelled it massively

[timid coral]

this is kinda ridiculous though

i mean why give em to us so early then...

[nimble sluice]

the ascendancies are quite difficult

[timid coral]

maybe for the uber elite to pass at the normal lvl?

[nimble sluice]

you gotta be god incarnate to be same level and clear it

[timid coral]

but cmon...

[ripe owl]

I struggle at single targets so I had a hard time on the boss. Different builds would have probably had it easy

[mental needle]

You can clear sekhema on level for sure with decent dps

chaos is a little more questionable

[timid coral]

this is my experience ^

[mellow echo]

just to confirm we add more gem slots by using less jewellers orbs?
i was thinking they are unlocked after certain step in campagin

[frank sonnet]

sekhema I usually failed by running out of honour and the answer is just... more honour and more honour resistance. Then it's trivial

[mellow echo]

i am feeling dumb now

[primal edge]

when do i get my third ascend trial?

[mellow echo]

played all this while with just 2 gems

[nimble sluice]

well early without honour res, it's kinda ugh

level 60+ I think for 3rd

[primal edge]

in cruel?

[frank sonnet]

more sockets on your gems, if they're normal gems you add with the various jeweller's orbs. If they're from weapons, by getting higher level weapons. If they're from ascendancy, by levelling up

[primal edge]

or after i finish act 3 cruel

[ripe marlin]

Can mods chat to u on poe2 in game

[frank sonnet]

you can start getting random drop baryas with enough challenges once you're in zone level 60+

[primal edge]

its called baryas?

[frank sonnet]

as in GGG staff? It would be highly unusual but they can

[frank sonnet]

assume that anyone saying they are GGG staff is a scammer though tbh

[ripe marlin]

Ok is there any way to opt out of it me n my girlfriend was upset how this person or purses kept messaging them and following them through the discord

[fleet portal]

why is my spark doing 450 dmg at lvl 55 and is this good dps or not cause im dealing 0 dmg?

[nimble sluice]

I don't think that's a staff members

[frank sonnet]

take some screenshots and email [e-mail] with the information, either the person is not GGG staff in which case they can take action, or if they are they will do an internal investigation cos that's some serious shit

[ripe marlin]

Like we new to the game we like it and we don’t plan on quitting no time soon, but we would like the harassment to stop

[nimble sluice]

that's a stalker lol, screenshot and send to support

[ripe marlin]

Yes, I have multiple screenshots

[nimble sluice]

you can also turn off in game communications

[nimble sluice]

just click on the tabs

[frank sonnet]

if it's on this discord, use the top right "DM for Discord Help" to message the discord moderators so they can action, if it's discord DMs, use Discord's features

[ripe marlin]

I did and it still went through that as well this is why I’m telling you I don’t know if it’s a bugg or not but this is this is the second time it has happened to me

[ripe owl]

To be fair, the auto aim issues on console also make it so that some encounters are a lot harder than they should be.

I hate aiming at an enemy nearly off screen instead of the three enemies directly in front of my face

[mellow echo]

when do i get level 2 or 3 support gems?

[azure lava]

tier 2 support gems start dropping around act 3 normal, and tier 3s start around act 2 cruel, I wanna say

[nimble sluice]

if it's Discord harassment, you could use the DM for this bot for reports

[frank sonnet]

I have no idea what in these screenshots is supposed to be a problem, make sure when you are reporting whatever the problem is, that you are 100% clear about it (and do it through the proper channels, not here)

[azure lava]

your wand is very outdated and that acceleration support isn't providing any dps at all

[fleet portal]

whats acceleration support?

[azure lava]

isn't it the green support gem on spark?

[fleet portal]

yes that is

what shall i replace it with>
