[weak vortex]

and where is the filter for rairty increase on trade site i cant find it

[scenic salmon]

You can surely equip ingenuity

[hexed ocean]

enabled

[mental needle]

Then idk I'm not all that tech savvy

[real gust]

Does failing the trial of will also erase the trial you did before that??? It was supposed to give me ascendancy points but i didn't get any

[normal ibex]

i'm not even sure this shows much? the fa ct that one core is maxxed out doesnt mean other cores arent being utilised, its just that the 'main' thread is likely running on that core

[real gust]

Coin said i get ascendancy points, i finished the trial but didn't get any points -.-

[hexed ocean]

i mean, when my 1 core is full, my game crashed, even when i could stay afk and not mapping

this is not how it should work

[normal ibex]

i mean... i only have 4/8 cores on my 6 year old CPU so, pretty sure the core count isnt the problem, short of knowing a lot more about your specs hard to dig into it much.
At this point youd probbably be better off collating some stuff and asking on the forum where you can post more detailed specs.

discord and other real time chat systems are very bad for tech support unless you can get a 1 on 1 with somebody who knows the engine details

[dense ivy]

What Level should i BE when im going into act 2

[hexed ocean]

i`m just curious why 10+ y.o. game still dont have a crashlogs

it would save my time 10 times better

[real gust]

Is there a way other than trying to find one of those trial coins to get more ascendancy points?

[normal ibex]

probably because theres only 2 kinds of crashlogs, mostly useless or mostly performance killing

that said, we are early access, performance should be sacrificed for data, but not all crashes are catchable either sadly

[balmy grotto]

Hello 👋

I’m new here🌺👋

[snow widget]

@weak vortex @mental needle not applied yet, but this is what seems good, the point where my mouse is where i go with my next lvl up

[normal ibex]

ok, i need new glasses and sleep, because i did NOT see a hibiscus flower

[weak vortex]

so youre sticking with ice?

[scarlet magnet]

same level as area or a bit higher like 16

[scarlet magnet]

you can buy it

through help from other players who will carry you

[mental needle]

Looks way better, just unspec that crit node or finish it later. I also think the chill notable in the snowflake at the top is kind ofa waste unless you're doing something special with chill.

[scarlet magnet]

hey....welcome.....ask away for any help needed

[snow widget]

think so, ill try it a bit more and see... cant i delete the pic only? i didnt include left side ... its on eploit the elemnts and breath of ice

[mental needle]

Oh and also don't forget to finish potent incantation

the ice builds don't need to stack cast speed so it's fine

and if it gets unwieldy you can swap it out later

[snow widget]

ye, thats where ill use my next lvl

[mental needle]

so uh, past that, are you using frost wall? I'm not sure if you would have even unlocked it yet

[snow widget]

ah nice, i had one point in blind alley that i didnt see before so i finished it

[mental needle]

but it is a very good single target skill

[snow widget]

yes

this is finished product, applied already

[weak vortex]

gl man

[snow widget]

yea, will see where i get, thanks for help guys 🙂

[mental needle]

Much better

[weak vortex]

xd i didnt really do anything

[mental needle]

that exposure number is gonna be huge

Look into the strip away support gem for frost bomb if u haven't already

[unreal snow]

Any level of Inscribed Ultimatum can be used to drop Soul Core Azcapa or just high level 80+?

[weak vortex]

yo @mental needle any chance you can look at mine and see if theres any room for improvement

[twin flume]

Looking for Legacy of the Vaal carry on normal, IGN RegMerc

[mental needle]

lol, I guess, what are you, spark?

[weak vortex]

arc

[mental needle]

I don't know spark as well as cold but I can tell you if it's offensive to my eyes

[mental needle]

kk

[kindred pagoda]

Could someone link me the site where you can see what stats can roll on each item? I saw it on a youtube video but cant find it again, and i've searched and cant find the specific website.

[mental needle]

https://poe2db.tw/us/ this probably

[mental needle]

WHy the skill effect duration? Does that do anything for arc?

[snow widget]

says it cant be socketed in, though im not using t1 gem cuz i dont have a free one atm, jsut checking what it does with t2

[weak vortex]

wdum

[snow widget]

ah nvm, its t2, just cant be socketed i guess

[lusty hinge]

https://www.craftofexile.com/?game=poe2
?

[mental needle]

you have 3 points in skill effect duration next to the crit cluster top left. What is it supposed to do for oyur build?

[weak vortex]

doesnt it work for the expose thing

[mental needle]

If you're exposing yeah, curses as well

[kindred pagoda]

I think it was this one, thank you!

[weak vortex]

yeah i use it alot

my combo is exposure, orb of storms. solar orb, mana tempest. and arc

[mental needle]

28% crit? That seems so low for this crazy amount of crit investment

[scenic rapids]

what ascendancy do you guys recommend for warrrior, titan or warbringer?

[weak vortex]

thats with and without

[mental needle]

both are fine, what sort of playstyle are you looking for?

[scenic rapids]

i don't really know, i'm playing with 2 more friends right now and i'm doing the tanky job

i just leveled a blood mage and it kinda sucks for me, so I want to have some fun now lol

[mental needle]

Titan is good for big slams and being tanky, warbringer is good for yelling, wielding shields, breaking armor

[scenic rapids]

i see!

[mental needle]

Hmmm, ok I don't know enough about the build to tell you to rework it totally or anything, but I think the base crit of arc may be too low to justify all this crit.

[weak vortex]

im kinda just working on slowly building it up

when i do crit which is basically 1 in 3 i one tap everything

[mental needle]

I can say with confidence that even if you are going crit the leaping ambush crit cluster is not very good, they're both conditionals that you aren't going to be meeting when it really matters to maximize your damage which is single target.

They won't be full, they will be shocked

[cedar locust]

why cant i bind my skills to extra mouse buttons

[mental needle]

You should be able to, I do so myself

[cedar locust]

its not working for some reason

[weak vortex]

leaping ambush which is that

[mental needle]

top left

that whole cluster is droppable IMO if you can replace it with different damage nodes

[mental needle]

hmmmm, could you send a screenshot of the keybind screen?

[cedar locust]

it wont like actually switch anthing

[weak vortex]

ig its more just to do more damage to adds

[mental needle]

yeah arc just doesn't really struggle with that

[weak vortex]

i think i will struggle if i take that off

[chilly geyser]

Hey all at what level should one consider ascending?

[weak vortex]

whenever you feel comfortable

[mental needle]

You can try it if you have excess gold, with and without.

[chilly geyser]

@weak vortex thanks for the fast answer. Now how does one ascend lol

[flint plume]

If you're not hardcore no harm in trying it

[mental needle]

You could give it a shot as soon as you get the act 2 quest, no harm, most people overlevel it a little, but you can see whatsup

[flint plume]

You'll get a quest in act 2 telling you how

[weak vortex]

here in act 2

[chilly geyser]

@weak vortex Thank You

@weak vortex last question. Can i still play couch coop while doing ascend quest

[weak vortex]

i honestly couldnt tell you im a solo player

[mental needle]

Yes you can do the trial in coop

[chilly geyser]

@weak vortex thanks for your help

@mental needle Thanks

[lean night]

suggested SSF starter?

[spark ice]

yo can anyone help explain something to me about my passive tree? only this class im having the problem with, on my titan ascend i havent had this issue

[flint plume]

I've heard minion witch is good for SSF but don't know from personal experience.

[mental needle]

most likely we can help, show the tree

[spark ice]

so, i cant advance my ascension tree. I went ahead and respec'd every point and tried again, but it wont ever let me advance past two nodes in the ascension. Only happened with my monk, any help as to why i cant continue the tree?

(as far as i can tell, my gear and my gems dont hinder me via reqs)

[mental needle]

You don't have any more ascendancy points

[lone sail]

When and where should I see belts that allow 3 charms...so far I am in Act 2 mine...not seen any that allow 2 or more. Ty.

[spark ice]

... so my stupid self didnt realize it requires another "ascension" point to further the tree. ok.

thank you.

[mental needle]

level 23+ item level belts can get +1 charm, level 64+ item level belts can get +2 charms

[safe lance]

its an explicit modifier so you may never see it

[mental needle]

but the affix is honestly not that important, you'd rather get resistances/life

[safe lance]

I havent seen one and I think my highest char is like level 82 iirc

[mental needle]

they made the affix more common

I've seen a fair few

[mental needle]

Yeah every time you complete a new tier of trials you get 2 points

[safe lance]

I probably havent played 1 char as much as most people here tbf. I change my mind and swap a lot.

[ripe owl]

I got one today

[fiery agate]

should I swap from arsonists to skelly snipers for bossing

[safe lance]

I saw they were like 1 exalt in trade but I didnt even get one. Charms feel underpowered comparatively to poe1 flasks, dont @ me

[frosty sail]

which one is the best to pick if i play monk? does someone know it?

[mental needle]

usually mana regen, but they're all ok

[frosty sail]

i also thought about mana regen

[safe lance]

Check your guide if you are following one, I personally though they were all eh

[atomic patrol]

hey guys what website or where do i go to find all the builds everyone posts

[safe lance]

mana regen is probably the best I shouldve picked it. Couldve saved using some support gems.

[mental needle]

There's a few, maxroll/mobalytics usually

[safe lance]

maxroll has been around for a while in terms of poe and their format is very nice but mobalytics seems to have hired a lot of the big names in poe.

[mental needle]

and there's youtube but there will probably be a lot of really terrible builds there so I wouldn't recommend it as a new player who can't necessarily parse that

[safe lance]

Or people just reiterating the same builds...

[icy totem]

Opposite. The other two are more valuable

Unless you’re a warrior

[mental needle]

mana regen is useless on warrior, what

[frank kestrel]

What level should you be around going into act 3

2*

[safe lance]

I can see stun threshold for warrior

this is the normal acts one right?

[mental needle]

If you completed act 1 you're fine.

act 2 first boss is tough but a level or 2 won't change that, gear would

[safe lance]

I picked elemental ailment and felt it was not that relevant

[frank kestrel]

where do I get better gear

[mental needle]

check vendors every level

pick it up off the ground

[kindred pagoda]

Where do I find the shield charge skill? Shields dont show up under the weapon types

[safe lance]

Should be easier to search under strength gems

[lusty hinge]

Warrior

[mental needle]

it's under mace skill, but fear not you don't need a mace just a shield

[safe lance]

It is red right? Sry I havent used shield charge in poe2 yet.

[vocal gorge]

Hey

Newbie here

On PC

Looking to make some friends and need people to play with

[mental needle]

#2┃looking-for-group

[safe lance]

[vocal gorge]

Got you @mental needle

[lusty hinge]

Quite early too

[safe lance]

Is it not a skill gem? then I stand corrected

[lusty hinge]

It is

[mental needle]

it is

[lusty hinge]

Raise Shield isn't

[snow widget]

@mental needle @weak vortex looks a lot better ❤️

[weak vortex]

niceeeee

[mental needle]

warrior isn't a classification for skill gems though, only spirit skill gems

[lusty hinge]

Question was about shield charge, which is a warrior tree skill

[lusty hinge]

It's the name of the tree

[mental needle]

It's under the mace tab, wat

[mental needle]

hell yeah

[safe lance]

oh ok, there is also the strength skill gem, shield charge right? I was a bit confused, I'll go look up later.

[lusty hinge]

That tab is called mace?

[mental needle]

for skill gems it is mace, for spirit gems it is warrior

active skills are based on weapon

[safe lance]

all skills are sorted by weapon or stat or other categories (in the UI)

[mental needle]

even though shield charge is not inherently tied to maces so it's weird it's there but it is

[safe lance]

weird because it requires shields

[frigid pollen]

Go to poe1 chat

[delicate needle]

how do you get spirit I just got my first spirit gem as ranger and says I need 30 spirit I ave 0?

[violet elbow]

yoooo guys, I have a question

[mental needle]

idk which game you're talking about

but for both just check currency exchange @wicked drum

[violet elbow]

I heard there's going to be a big update on January 5th, is that true?

[mental needle]

Not confirmed at all

[kindred pagoda]

Im in act 3, playing a infernalist..and i have -3% cold dmg for some reason. I added cold res charm, but still shows -3?

[weak vortex]

can you change the tier of a suffix or can you only re roll it between the given integers

[mental needle]

but first or second week of january an update is expected

[violet elbow]

ahhhh thx,Some Chinese are always spreading rumors and making me look forward to it for nothing

[mental needle]

with a divine orb you can reroll the affix within its tier, but they are very valuable so that's for late late game

[weak vortex]

but you cant change tier

[mental needle]

Not that I know of, unles there's an omen for it

if you have a shitty mod you just have to try to annul or chaos it off

[weak vortex]

well i just made a wand that give me 300 extra base damage

[rapid raft]

beat Mektul and then died before picking up the story item, is there a way to get back down and get the item?

[weak vortex]

from 2k to 2.3

[delicate needle]

sooo???

[mental needle]

You may have to reset the instance if the elevator isn't accessible and the boss isn';t there

[weak vortex]

huge

[rapid raft]

wdym reset the instance?

like restart the whole zone?

[mental needle]

yes with a fresh instance

[rapid raft]

how do i do that? do i just go to another map and then come back?

[weak vortex]

ctrl click

[mental needle]

portal back to town > go to waypoint > select the zone mektul is in > Ctrl+click > new instance

if there's a waypoint in that zone, which I think there is

otherwise you'll have to ctrl click from the entrance

[rapid raft]

ahh ok i got it

thanks

[snow widget]

hey guys again, is there colourblind mode? o.O

i looked a bit in settings but didnt see anything like that, but i better ask

[vivid cedar]

is there some kind of list of uniques and where they can be used?

[novel rampart]

Where can I find this?

[mental needle]

In that zone

it's a building entrance

[heavy pendant]

question, if I'm reading this correctly, the curse skills that reduce resistances have a 32 base percentage, and if I put the Heightened curse support gem on it then the debuff becomes 55% right? (hc is increase 25% effect of supported curse)

[novel rampart]

Is there supposed to be gold and a rare chest inside?

[mental needle]

sounds right

[mental needle]

it's multiplicative not additive.

so 32 x 1.25 = 40

[heavy pendant]

weird

still pretty good though

[novel rampart]

So it just doesn't get marked as completed on the map?

[mental needle]

anything that says increase works like that

[mental needle]

it may be bugged, yeah

[heavy pendant]

alright, thanks for the help

another question, are cosmetics able to be used with any of your characters?

[mental needle]

you can't have the same cosmetic on multiple characters at once if that's what you mean

[heavy pendant]

thats dumb

[granite wren]

Currently working hard to fight the ogham manor boss . 💪 any tips ?

[twin flume]

anybody wanna help me kill Ignaduk act3 normal? IGN RegMerc

[mental needle]

but any class can equip any cosmetic

[twin flume]

im at the boss rn

[heavy pendant]

can you transfer them between characters though?

[mental needle]

#2┃looking-for-group

[twin flume]

My bad ty

[mental needle]

yes, just not equipped to more than 1 at once

[heavy pendant]

ok, thats good at least

[mental needle]

cold resistance is good, sapphire charm can be a help. In his fog phase he will leap shortly after every line of dialogue

[granite wren]

Thanks chase 🙏

Honestly I was so impressed with the graphics and theatrics that everytime I forget to fight and I get fixated on the purty graphics lol

[heavy pendant]

another question, is it better to go for items that have more resistance or armor in acts 1 and 2?

[naive moth]

Taking this after boss fight, does anyone know if this applies to the next floor?

[mental needle]

Typically you want life>resists>Defenses (Armor evasion Energy shield)

[mental needle]

No it's a total waste don't buy it in the boss shop

it applies to the current floor before u leave

[naive moth]

Ok, thanks for confirming

[snow widget]

how does second ascendancy reward work? do i jsut take the items after every round or is it all after i finish all 10 rounds?

[mental needle]

trial of chaos for your 2nd ascendancy is only 4 rooms

[snow widget]

aah, alright, im about to go there

[mental needle]

you can quit out at anytime and take the rewards or keep risking. In this case you're kinda just there to ascend for the most part, the risk reward is more of a later game farming thing.

[snow widget]

ah so if i take rewards i cancel the thing and later have to go from 0? and i assume i wont get more rewards from rounds i took them from before?

[mental needle]

if you take rewards the run is over, but it's the tutorial one so you can just go again

but usually that means the key you used to enter dies once you agree to take the rewards

[lavish escarp]

we still dont have a way to fix quest ultimatum key disappaering from the ground do we?

its a hard choice to choose which class. (this is my first ARPG)

[high saddle]

I wanted to know if POE2 will have Large scale GVG or any PVP content or its mostly PVE game ?

[fallen surge]

Nope

For beginners I would recommend ranged classes

They are more forgiving compared to face tank warriors

[vagrant anchor]

Just pick ranger, smooth running till maps.

[fallen surge]

It’s awesome in maps wdym

[vagrant anchor]

I never said it was bad in maps

[wise kindle]

idk, ranger just looks so boring.

[fallen surge]

I have like 3m dps with lightning ranger

It’s pretty fun

[cursive badger]

if i use a greater jewler's orb can i just upgrade the skill gem later and still have more slots?

[high saddle]

I wanted to know if POE2 will have Large scale GVG or any PVP content or its mostly PVE game ?

[vagrant anchor]

Well, can't help you there

[fallen surge]

It only affects the skill u use

[wise kindle]

reason why i say that is cause i have to learn how to play a whole nother class and plan out what kind of character i wanna build to not make any mistakes

[high saddle]

I wanted to know if POE2 will have Large scale GVG or any PVP content or its mostly PVE game ?

[cursive badger]

yeah but will i need to use another one on a higher level skill gem

[fallen surge]

I mean they do have guilds so

GvG is plausible

[high saddle]

Does Poe 1 has any PVP content or any large scale PVP

[fallen surge]

U just upgrade ur skill then

[cursive badger]

ok doke thanks

[wise kindle]

isnt the totem suppose to grab aggro?

[exotic sierra]

does it have some source of taunt that applies to the totem?

if i put this in my off hand slot like this will the effects be on all my staff attacks still?

No

Only while equipped od you get the effects

you can't have a shield with a staff

and the other weapon set does not apply while it's switched off

there's no direct armour or evasion penalties on the player for progressing, only the monsters getting stronger and their bigger hits and higher accuracy respectively making them less effective.

Is this trial able to be completed as a group? or does it have to be indivdual?

We haven't done anything solo in this game (this is how we are playing campaign) so we want to know if we can do the trials together

or if it's some kind of solo thing because its unique to our specific classes

[smoky jasper]

is it worth just buying premium tabs now. how often are the stash sales

[cursive beacon]

How good is Resonating Shield?

[lusty hinge]

Every few weeks, premium tabs are just glorified regular tabs with sale listing function, colors, names
That's it

[ebon moss]

usually every 3 weeks. there was one somewhat recently, so next one should be around Jan 9th, 2025.

[smoky jasper]

ok sweeet. are there certain tabs super worth it?

my default tabs are starting to get cluttered. need some organization

[scarlet magnet]

currency

[exotic sierra]

yes you can do the trial as a group, but the honour pool is shared. so if your freidns get hit you all lose honour from the same pool. which can make it a bit harder.

[lusty hinge]

My list of importance is:

1. Currency
2. Maps (coming soon™)
3. Gems
4. Premium (for poe 2 at least)
5. Essences
6. Fragments (not in poe2 yet)
7. Divination (not in as well)

[ebon moss]

Premium if you want to use the trade site to sells things. For PoE2 the only special tabs are currently:
Currency, Gem, Essence, Delirium, Unique (and maybe Flask? I don't recall).
There's currently no Map/Waystone stash tab in PoE2.

[exotic sierra]

oh did they say map tab is coming soon?

[ebon moss]

A bunch of other special tabs aren't in PoE2 yet

[shrewd hazel]

does cruel difficulty have more mobs? it somehow feels easier tho lol

[exotic sierra]

because the content is missing currently

[clear pulsar]

how do we "start" it together? do we just righ click the item: Balbala's Barya "Allow me to choose ascendancy class"

[lusty hinge]

It's in the game already, but it just has a msg "not implemented yet, coming soon"

[exotic sierra]

oh ok

[smoky jasper]

thanks for the help

[exotic sierra]

you start it by going to the trial of the sekhemas

[lusty hinge]

to unhide poe1 tabs you need to uncheck the box in stash settings "hide unavailable tabs"

[exotic sierra]

anyone in the same instance can follow you in

[clear pulsar]

if you die or fail in the trial in hardcore mode, does ur hardcore character die

[exotic sierra]

not sure, but I'd expect yes

I wouldn't expect the trials to be "safe" deaths

[lime relic]

If I have armor that leaches damage output to regain heath/mana, does it also lower damage output in the process?

[exotic sierra]

but best to see if someone else knows cause I could be wrong

[shrewd hazel]

i have so many skill orbs lol. this game needs to drop them less. half my stash tabs are full of them

[clever geode]

dont pick them up?

[shrewd hazel]

but i cant tell if its a higher level one until i pick them uip

[exotic sierra]

time for a gem tab 😄

[clever geode]

then throw them away?

[exotic sierra]

you can see when you hover over it on the ground

[shrewd hazel]

true

[lusty hinge]

or a few lmao, I have 2 full ones xD

[shrewd hazel]

i still want a currency tab

but i wasted all my 300 coins on shit i didnt know i didnt need lol

[lavish pecan]

anyone have spare lesser jeweler orbs?

[lusty hinge]

rip

[clever geode]

[shrewd hazel]

i mean i spent it on stash tabs. but i didnt know how much i needed a currency tab xD

[lusty hinge]

oh I see, well yeah that's like the mandatory tab

[carmine turret]

anyone got useless support gems to give

[shrewd hazel]

yea i bought all my shit when i thoguht stash tabs meant inv tabs

so i thought i would just be able to store a fuck ton of shit then go back and sell it all

but instead i have to tp back every 5 min

[rigid wasp]

Do I only get one of these ascendency trial tokens? What happens if I fail?

[exotic sierra]

time to buy more coins

[clever geode]

for quest version u can get it back

[shrewd hazel]

im a homeless person with a house

cant buy shit

[drowsy wing]

Why does it take so absurdly long to charge cast on shock?
Cast on freeze felt instant.

I have like 1 gazillion shock buildup

[exotic sierra]

you don't have any supports that keep you from shocking do you?

[drowsy wing]

dont have electrocute

[clever geode]

[exotic sierra]

sounds like you're picking up too much lol

are you still in the campaign? at some point you can stop picking up magic items and that saves alot of trips

[hardy chasm]

if you finish trial of sekhemas and dont want to use your keys or sacred water, does it save them for your next run?

[exotic sierra]

no

[clever geode]

i wish

[exotic sierra]

use it or lose it

would these stack?

[boreal stirrup]

is there a way to uncorrupt corrupted items

[exotic sierra]

no

[boreal stirrup]

ah

and am i right in assuming, corrupted items cant have added modifiers on them

[exotic sierra]

reforge bench "might" i guess, but you'd need 3 of that base

nope, corrupted items can't be modified further

[night pike]

is there a good fix for the crashing/freezing? tried unchecking cpu 0 and 1, but still freeze in loading screens.

[exotic sierra]

I haven't tried reforging a corrupted item so not sure how it handles that

[boreal stirrup]

^ ill try rn

actually i wont

idk if they have quality added on them

[hoary parcel]

hey guys, is there ab ug with the trial of the sekhemas? ughh particularely in the gauntlet not opening doors after activating a lever?

[lusty hinge]

try vulkan or disabling multithreading, maybe rolling back your win11 update

[flat dirge]

uhm how do i know how far 2 meter is ingame?

[exotic sierra]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Distance

[night pike]

dont really want to disable multithreading, will try rolling back windows and check out vulkan. Thanks!

[exotic sierra]

there's a visual of what meters look like on that page, should be the same for poe2. each circle is 1 meter

[vivid cedar]

ofc i die cuz of cc

[exotic sierra]

always

[cursive beacon]

question about warrior, i've been doing a mace/shield combo for most of the game, is this good? Does it work well later in the game? I really like the shield charge and stun buildup but im wondering if i should just switch to two-handed mace

[vivid cedar]

i like 2 handed more

[lusty hinge]

poe2 should be quite different as it's more zoomed out

[cursive beacon]

honestly the main reason i like shield is shield charge since its a fun skill

[exotic sierra]

you could get Giant's Blood and do both 😄

[cursive beacon]

wait really?

oh shit, how do I get to Giant's Blood? That looks awesome

[lusty hinge]

yeah you can wield two handed mace and a shield with giant's blood

[exotic sierra]

really doesn't seem like it's zoomed out much

[lusty hinge]

but it tripples the stat requirements for weapons

[exotic sierra]

it's on the passive tree

along the outer edge

[lusty hinge]

idk, when I go into poe1 after a poe2 session I get that "oof this game is in 60 fov" feeling

[exotic sierra]

these look pretty close

[cursive beacon]

that doesn't seem too bad if im going pure strength anyway

[wise kindle]

how rare are regal orbs? its hard on its own to find magic items. in the last hour of just running around killing guys i got 3 magic items

[exotic sierra]

you get regal shards from disenchanting rare items not magic

[lusty hinge]

yeah you will manage, well depends on a 2h mace of course, some beastly ones require a lot of str

[exotic sierra]

and regal orbs are rare enough that I find I can craft some of my gear but never have any when I really need them lol

[cursive beacon]

Where is Giants Blood on the tree?

[wise kindle]

i almost never get rare items even from bosses. im wondering if theres some way to get more regal items cause i want better gear but i cant find or buy any good gear

[exotic sierra]

straight out on the outer edge from the warrior start

[lusty hinge]

for me it's night and day (pun wasn't intended) with these 2 pictures

[cursive beacon]

Found it

[waxen valley]

can someone kill rustking for me cause I've already enough cancer from getting one shot from him

[lusty hinge]

that's.. that's like the first boss you have to fight after getting out of town.. brother how

[waxen valley]

ive bad gear

cant get any because no exalts dropped

[lusty hinge]

you don't need exalts to kill the thing xD

[waxen valley]

well, to trade for better stuff

[still slate]

why isnt anything showing up when on the poe2 site when i put filters for staff and lightning dmg am i dumb or what

[lusty hinge]

check vendors in town for upgrades, pick something up and slap a few blue orbs on it

[craggy gyro]

What are the best classes to play so far I tried witch sorc and monk

[waxen valley]

ive tried that

it rolls hilariously bad

[elfin widget]

What happends after act 3 cruel? there are any more acts or what?

[wise kindle]

if i have really bad luck when trying to get magic items or high is it a good idea to just use the transmutation and augmentation to get them to magic to sell for more gold?

[chilly geyser]

Hey all, is there a lot of Chaos damage in act 3 normal?

[exotic sierra]

lots of poison damage, not sure about chaos specifically

[lusty hinge]

have fun, play what you think looks cool

[waxen valley]

probably should have mentioned its cruel but that probably doesnt matter

[lusty hinge]

endgame

[chilly geyser]

@exotic sierra is poison considered Chaos? i dont see a resist for that

[exotic sierra]

yes poison is chaos damage over time

[lusty hinge]

kinda does, you got me worried there for a sec

[exotic sierra]

and it bypasses energy shield

[drowsy wing]

I think they just die before they get shocked tbh...

[elfin widget]

and the end game is?

[lusty hinge]

mapping (atlas)

[elfin widget]

just farming? i didnt see that there is dungeons or smth

[drowsy wing]

tf is the point of double shocking stuff when they are dead before I get to single shock them

[exotic sierra]

bosses

and rares

[lusty hinge]

you have an infinite map with areas on it, you use waystones to get in and clear them

[drowsy wing]

So cast on shock is just for those 2?

[elfin widget]

uh i see. alright ty

[waxen valley]

the first rust king in normal act 1 was extremely easy but even though I only have 40 res on everything i just kinda fall down and I have 81% evasion but the first time I get hit I die my evasion isnt doing anything at all

[exotic sierra]

I would think that's most of when it would go off

and most of where double shock would apply

[drowsy wing]

Fair enough ig.

[ionic minnow]

if im hardstuck on an act 1 boss is it just a dps fail ?

[lusty hinge]

well evasion wouldn't make you invincible and iirc it works better on projectiles than melee to a certain extent, plus only from attacks so spells and all that bs will still mess you up

[exotic sierra]

could be damage or defenses. if you wanna figure out the problem, you can ask about specific things here. or you can post in https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308715058716610580 to get help with your build or ask in https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714168576249887 if you just want help killing the boss

[waxen valley]

it was a singular projectile shard and i just kinda fell over I even have some health on my gear too and some energy shield

[exotic sierra]

evasion is literally just chance to not get hit. and that 81% I think is based off of a normal mobs accuracy, bosses will have much higher accuracy which means they have a better chance of hitting you against your evasion rating

[past rain]

what would be the reason that an hour ago my evasion was saying 47% in town now it says 59

no gear changes, 1 level up into electrocution buildup

[exotic sierra]

at least with armour, you're always getting some reduction of incoming damage. I hate evasion cause that 20% is almost always guaranteed to kill you.

[silver geyser]

wind dancer stacks, other buffs

[past rain]

in town?

[lusty hinge]

Some boss attacks will fuck you up no matter how many res or other defense layers you have but idr if rust king has anything like that and I didn't struggle with him on any characters with pretty garbage gear so I'm not sure how to help you exactly

[silver geyser]

not in town, no

just tested

hideouts, sure

[past rain]

also in maps with the stacks i'm at 68

[silver geyser]

idk, like 1,000 things tbh

[past rain]

1,000 things could be different from me standing in the same place wearing the same gear?

[lusty hinge]

If only that armor didn't lie to us and was closer to poe1 formula

[silver geyser]

lol

press p

gl with your problem

[safe lance]

E.g. there’s a node that gives 30% evasion rating for a few seconds after you dodge roll

[lusty hinge]

That phys reduction stat is only 'before' it gets reduced by incoming phys dmg

[past rain]

i'm just concluding it was bugged before lol. none of those things were on

[exotic sierra]

I expect it's just bugged right now, but not doubting that it could be a harsher formula since it's designed to be a "harder" game

[past rain]

it was right after i traded for a way better chest piece. my old one was saying 35% when i know it was saying 50-51% in town before

[safe lance]

Why only armor hard the, ES looks very strong

[past rain]

the new one was saying 47. now it says 58. but all good. thanks

[lusty hinge]

Iirc the formula is x3of poe 1 so in general you almost always cut your phys reduction by at least 50% if not more

[exotic sierra]

because they put >800% inc ES on the tree and forgot about life builds

[lusty hinge]

I agree with "harsher" game, but that makes investing into armor not that good

[exotic sierra]

feels like there are alot of bigger hits for the smaller life pool we get

[lusty hinge]

And I hope ggg will change it

[small heath]

Is there any way to target farm ultimatums/djinn baryas? I failed the first 2 that granted me my 3rd and 4th ascendancy points and haven't had any drop since. I'm now level 74 in maps. Do I just pray that rng is kind to me and they drop anywhere?

[exotic sierra]

I hope so too, cause it's kinda anti-fun

[covert atlas]

You also just have significantly less armor than in PoE1

It all compounds against it

[safe lance]

Local knowledge atlas node

[exotic sierra]

I got 5 of each on my way to maps. maybe you could try getting rarity on your gear, not that I've had much, but you should have gotten some

[safe lance]

And with that it’s in forest maps iirc. I found the couple I used in the riverside or whatever that map is called.

[lusty hinge]

Yup, so ploping a higher penalty on top of that is just cruelty xD

But we're in beta anyway

[lusty hinge]

The one that has quant by biomes? So good

[safe lance]

40% increased chance of barya iirc

[exotic sierra]

I feel like I probably shouldn't take CI at 1535 ES but my 500 life pool does keep getting nuked by poisons

[lusty hinge]

Though sometimes it's very hard to tell wtf is the type on biome you're looking at
Like a swamp with grass on it, is it grass or a swamp.
And what are those red tentacle looking biomes supposed to be

[small heath]

Where is this node? Can't seem to find it

[lusty hinge]

It's more to top left in the regular nodes

[safe lance]

Im on mobile and its like 4-5 nodes north west of starting point

[acoustic birch]

can someone help with damage? why is mine so low when I see others with 50k+

[small heath]

Ah just found it. Thanks guys!

[safe lance]

Iirc they didn’t add search by node name on console yet, so I feel you

[lusty hinge]

That's fucky

[wise kindle]

||how do i get the second relic of the acient vows quest in the vally of the titans?||

[safe lance]

Just for atlas page

[quartz dawn]

gear and dmg stacking

[lusty hinge]

Other's may have a different build, gear

[covert atlas]

They drop from monsters, one from mastodon badlands, the other from keth.

[exotic sierra]

whatever area you got the first piece, go clear the other area

[lusty hinge]

bone pits and keth, random drop from monsters

[timber pulsar]

Im in act 2 where it wants me to open the second gate, i found the gate but the npc girl thats supposed to help open it is stuck and doesnt follow me anymore (i portaled mid quest i think that broke her)

[safe lance]

One is dropped in keth by the Kabala constrictor boss and other is found in the bone pits quest iirc

[exotic sierra]

you might want to make a post in https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308715058716610580 and provide more screenshots including your gear and character page

[lusty hinge]

oh yeah reload the zone, she gets stuck in that arena with rare a lot

[exotic sierra]

I don't think it's the boss specifically, pretty sure it's from any of the snakes

[honest knot]

guys so Im stuck on cruel act 2. I can't complete "ASCENT TO POWER", nor "THE TRIAL OF CORRUPTION" - as they seem to be bugged. Is there any fix for that? Or is it game over for me

[timber pulsar]

How do i do that?:o

[lusty hinge]

it's reproducable as well, she gets stuck if you first come up to the gate and then do the rare

[exotic sierra]

ctrl click on the entrance to the area

[lusty hinge]

portal to town, ctrl click on that area and select NEW

(from teleport of course)

or desert map 🤔

[timber pulsar]

Thank you got it!

[safe lance]

Yes actually just immediately in keth for both chars I tried I think mb. Boss has some other specific drop maybe a weapon spec book

[exotic sierra]

ugh, sometimes it feels like I can forget the portal for hours but other times it feels like it closes in 5 mins >_>

[lusty hinge]

just don't touch the gate and then run to kill that rare, either clear the gate first or clear the rare and then gate

[lusty hinge]

it's affected by pausing as well, so I guess that's why

[exotic sierra]

it also works on the entrance to any campaign area

[exotic sierra]

does it "pause" when the game is closed? cause I often see portals still up when I come back the next day lol. to the couple times I've gone thru them the area has refreshed

[tribal wagon]

anyone know if this stack with the sceptre mod that inc dmg too?

[exotic sierra]

should

it's not a unique modifier

well, technically it is, but it's just annother increased damage

[stark fossil]

so I wanted to run a warrior as something different to my normal ranged cast builds. I saw some totem build on maroll, are these good and viable? Or is there a build i should do? I dont have huge amounts of time to play and just wanted a fun strong build..lol
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/shockwave-totem-warbringer-leveling-guide

[lime oriole]

undammaged core act 3 cruel, how to get?

[timber pulsar]

How come some times i press caplock or something around that area by accident and then my explosive grenade stops working

[remote grotto]

What determines whether/when rares show up on your minimap or not? (In endgame maps.) Feels like sometimes rares show up quite early and sometimes they never show up.

[exotic sierra]

<200 mobs left

someone said

[cinder compass]

Can people help me with the act 2 boss?

[exotic sierra]

they can, but you probably want to ask in https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714168576249887

[lusty hinge]

Yup

[zealous osprey]

Correct, was earlier <50 but they patched it to <200

[exotic sierra]

ah ok, that would have sucked having to wait til <50

[halcyon pumice]

Is there a TLDR on the Ele Pen vs Minus Res?
I have Conductivity, and am thinking of getting 2x 6% Light Pen and a 15% Light Pen nodes.

Thoughts?
(Act 2 SSF HC)

[zealous osprey]

Cuz rare hunting is a pain, but that's going off topic XD

[charred badge]

question about the passive tree: I was able to put three extra skill points (the blue line)but I didnt have skill points available. Are these part of my weapon set SP?

[outer wadi]

what are the "tier 2" thing on weapons? is just one mods that's really good?

[charred badge]

also the lines connecting the nodes arent glowing

[flint plume]

The tier goes up to Tier 5 and basically means there's a minimum mod tier/level it can roll. It's not guaranteed to be good but it's more likely.

[lusty hinge]

Green is weapon set 2, red is ws 1, not sure wtf is going on with those 2 dex nodes on the right

[outer wadi]

thanks!

[zealous osprey]

Hmmm
Taking an example to explain, say a mob has 100% resistance (cap of 75% applies)... Effectively they now have 75% due to the cap
How reduced resistance works is that it reduces the total resistance, so -50% resistance would reduce from the 100% total, so the mob effectively has 50% resistance
How penetration works, is that it penetrates the capped resistance. So 50% penetration would mean 75-50 = 25%, so the mob would take damage as if their ele res is 25%

[exotic sierra]

basically, you can't penetrate what they don't have, but you can make them take more damage

[zealous osprey]

Afaik, ele pen can cross the zero threshold

[halcyon pumice]

I'll take a moment to absorb this. In the meantime, my goal would be to help damage against act bosses. Do they typically have Res where both some Pen and Res Red would be helpful togehter?

[golden bay]

How come Concentrated Effect gem isn't working on Bonestorm even though Bonestorm has the "AoE" tag?

[exotic sierra]

oh ok

[zealous osprey]

Negative res is capped at -200%

But ele pen will bypass this limit and can hit em for -200+ percent

[wise kindle]

how do i get more spirit. i wantedf to put a support gem onto herald of ash skill but didnt notice it raised the needed spirit. i havnt a clue how to get more spirit as a warrior

mine is still 30 at lvl 28

[halcyon pumice]

sounds like ele pen is going to help me again bosses then, even with Conductivity

[exotic sierra]

neat

[lusty hinge]

you get a total of 100 spirit across the campaign, also rolling amulets, body armor. some uniques have spirit too

[exotic sierra]

usually does

[zealous osprey]

Usually you use a mix of both

[exotic sierra]

pen is generally good against bosses, but not as effective for clear

[halcyon pumice]

Okthx

[simple bolt]

Anyone else trying to beat the rust king?

[golden condor]

what comes after cruel?

I'm just finishing act 1 cruel now

so far it feels easier than regular first run

[zealous osprey]

One very important point
@halcyon pumice @exotic sierra
Ele pen only affects hits, not DoT... But minus res is global

[zealous osprey]

Mapping (Atlas)

[golden condor]

there's almost no struggle at all in cruel run compared to the 1st run but that might just be skill issue for new player

[zealous osprey]

By the time you're in cruel, you're around lvl 45ish and have decent stats, level 10-11 gems and have a decent build down so it's usually easier

[regal jewel]

Is my game bugged or something

Ive killed this woman 25 times now and no 3 trial token for my ascendancy points

[exotic sierra]

having a cohesive build by then definitely helps but there's ALOT of damage in the creul acts

[exotic sierra]

3rd and 4th trial are random drops

[grave knot]

Does anyone here play warrior? I have a question about life recoup and blood magic 😄

[zealous osprey]

Cruel acts no quest token

[exotic sierra]

not from that boss specifically

[steady loom]

Question, In dealing with a -20 Recharge Rate for my energy shield and It halts my energy shield from recharging. Is this a bug, or something I did lol?

[regal jewel]

What am I missing then, game keeps telling me to search Traitor’s Passage

[steady loom]

End of Act 2 Cruel, so Idk if its a perma debuff or something I applied. I have gear giving me plenty of recharge rate, but nothing seems to affect the -20

[zealous osprey]

That quest is supposed to be a one time quest in Act 2

Full game won't have cruel acts

[regal jewel]

Wtf

[radiant orbit]

SOS Jamanra boss cruel IGN - StormLovesYou

[exotic sierra]

sounds like you don't have more than 20 recharge rate to counter that. do you have a small es pool?

[zealous osprey]

It's not supposed to be there

They haven't patched it yet

[regal jewel]

🗿what a waste of 2 hours

[steady loom]

I have 3k Energy Shield lol

[exotic sierra]

you should have positive recharge then

[steady loom]

I took the 1HP immune to chaos damage sp

[exotic sierra]

did you take something else that disables recharge?

did you take Eternal Youth?

[steady loom]

One moment

I DID!!

That actually stops regen!?

[exotic sierra]

then you need to use a flask

[steady loom]

Damn lol

[golden condor]

yeah I just stack a lot of armor and some life leech

[steady loom]

Im keeping it lol, aint no point in lowering my ES lol

[golden condor]

to mitigate the damage but sometimes they still come in fast

good thing WH grenade range is huge

pretty much everything on screen dies

[grave knot]

does the blood magic count as a "hit" for life recoup?

[exotic sierra]

no

it counts as life cost

[grave knot]

dang

[outer gale]

Can I look like the dude on the coverart with the funny keyblade sword

[exotic sierra]

maybe eventually but not currently

[placid linden]

Life leech and galv shards do be fun af

Add fork support and elemental support and it is really good

[regal jewel]

Can anyone explain Warcry Speed

[exotic sierra]

they won't prioritise new mtx for a while I don't think, not until they get the game fixed up in EA

[exotic sierra]

makes you shout faster

[regal jewel]

Huh

[exotic sierra]

like cast speed but for warcries

[regal jewel]

Aint no way

[exotic sierra]

likewise, cast speed doesn't affect warcries, nor does attack speed. skill speed probly does.

[regal jewel]

Thats like gaining a second handle on my mace

[exotic sierra]

sounds like more control in your swings 🤷

[ionic hamlet]

Hey guys rerolled to a stormweaver do we take status ailment threshold or mana regen ? from act 3 venom

[exotic sierra]

should probly take ailment. should be plenty of regen in that area of the tree.

I ended up taking stun cause I was getting stunned alot, but I'm probly gonna regret that since I noticed some nodes that make stun work off a portion of my ES

[ebon moss]

hopefully they just give us an option to change those venoms/poison things later.

[steady loom]

Another question! Around what Cruel Act do Greater Jewel Orbs drop?

[exotic sierra]

they likely will. we've had re-rolles for the bandits and such in poe1 for a long time. probly just didn't make it in before EA release

[exotic sierra]

probly won't find those til maps

I have yet to drop any

[ebon moss]

i didn't find any in cruel, just the lessers

[steady loom]

Got my first Div orb in Cruel, so I was hoping those drop as well.

They are super expensive in the Trade Web

[exotic sierra]

greaters are currently 1:39ex, so yea they are excessively rare

oof lessers are down to 21:1ex

[covert atlas]

Greaters could use a drop rate increase

[exotic sierra]

ye, a big one

[covert atlas]

I’m fine with perfects being a chase

[exotic sierra]

getting stuck at 3 supports for that long sounds bad

[potent marten]

Question for zealots oath. “Excess Life Recovery from Regeneration is applied to Energy Shield
Energy Shield does not Recharge” does that mean that ES gets replenished based off my HP regen only when my HP is full?

[exotic sierra]

yes

that sounds like a nice buff from the poe1 version

[placid linden]

Being just fine and dandy at start of act 3

Silverfist: and i took that personally

[exotic sierra]

oh you wanted to live?

[placid linden]

With him swinging his giant rod made of stone HELL NO

[covert atlas]

The dude is a jump scare

Full speed from the edge of your screen

[exotic sierra]

and fairly hard to dodge

[vague furnace]

how to obtain unique item? im new im looking for thousand ribbon simple robe is there a certain way to obtain it

[placid linden]

Im like lvl 35 decent armor evasion mix, AND 1 SHOT

[placid linden]

Pain

Or maps

[vague furnace]

pain?

[placid linden]

Grinding outside maps that have the item rarity bonus

Thats pain

[covert atlas]

You could find the associated base and chance orb it, it either destroys the item or becomes unique

[vague furnace]

ow sorry im in wrong poe xd i should ask in poe 1 mb

[placid linden]

He said he is new to POE so i wasnt gonna mention chance orb

[lusty hinge]

Is it even in the game?

[placid linden]

He said unique item so i just said the basica

Basics*

[exotic sierra]

is thousand ribbons in poe2?

[lusty hinge]

Nah he missed poe1 channel

[exotic sierra]

I don't see any mention of it

ah ok

[lusty hinge]

Got me for a sec too xD

[exotic sierra]

I tried to search it up to see what level it is in poe2, cause I think it's a lv 1 unique in poe1

[placid linden]

Mind being a chad and nuking him for me lmfao jkjk, got a feeling i gotta run past him but again im lvl 35 start of act 3 and he still 1 shot me

He again said FOR HARAMBE and 1 shot me, jesus

[exotic sierra]

should have prayed to harambe smh

[placid linden]

Silverfist is on some shit

[vagrant anchor]

He has a big windup for most of his attacks

[placid linden]

I would if the quadrilla's give me a damm momeny

Moment*

[golden condor]

mad wolf still the most badass boss

with the best monologue

[vagrant anchor]

You should be able to dodge most of them

[placid linden]

The act 1 final boss?

[golden condor]

yeah

[placid linden]

Honestly agree

The fog attack goes hard af

[golden condor]

yep

[placid linden]

I need that 1 shot trials buff lmfao

The good ol boons

[golden condor]

mad wolf forced me to get a better build

[placid linden]

Half of act 2 made me go grenades for a moment before i can go back to electric crossbow

Now i got fork support on galv shards and its funny how much shit i can hit at once

[golden condor]

I had janky ass ice and shatter build

with poor sync

mad wolf was having none of it

[foggy birch]

fax

[placid linden]

Lightning, primal, fork for galv shards and i got the penetrate resistance upgrades

[foggy birch]

forge boss was cool too

[placid linden]

Now need few more levels or a book for magnitude of shock lmfao

Need me the beastial skin upgrade for that good ol +100% evasion from armor

[placid linden]

How fun we talking

Silverfist attempt 3

Lmfao

Brb

And minute later im ded

[foggy birch]

lols

[sleek fjord]

does the % increase evasion and energy shield only apply on said armor pieces?

[golden condor]

I wanna swap over to electric build at some point. I love grenadier but something about the rapid lightning bolt just seems more fun to me

[exotic sierra]

if it's on the armour, yes

[golden condor]

but man grenade is so powerful

[exotic sierra]

those are always local

[golden condor]

forge boss reminds me of rhythm games too

those lava bars

[copper mesa]

Hello! I'm doing Trial of Chaos and I'm stuck. It asked me to "escort the statue"

I don't see any statue?

[exotic sierra]

it's at the start of the area

it rises up from the ground when you stand near/under it

[foggy birch]

poor statue left behind

justice for statue

[atomic patrol]

for using sidekick is it best to keep the currency as relative?

[exotic sierra]

what?

[copper mesa]

OH! I see it. Thanks! I thought it's a trap which slams into the ground. So I ignored it 😂

[odd rover]

Hello, regarding the allies in your presence deal increased damage, and minions deal increased damage.

are these bonuses additive or multiplicative with each other?

[exotic sierra]

it's really slow so it's easy to miss

[golden bay]

Does the "25% bypasses energy shield" mean:

1. I take 75% damage on energy shield and 25% damage on my health
2. I take 100% damage on energy shield and 25% damage on my health

as in: is it extra damage on top or just split between health & es ?

[lusty hinge]

you get hit, 25% damages your life the rest goes into shield

[golden bay]

ok - thought so. Thanks.
That means - because it rolls 20-25 - having a 25roll isn't even worse if I'm able to heal it back up (with spell leech for example)

[winged crest]

I’m struggling as a warrior in act 3 atm. Is there any pointers or guides to help me? It’s my first Poe game

[heavy estuary]

Does anyone have 2 rings for sorceress for cast speed all the resistance and mana and mana regen??

[lusty hinge]

Spell leech? 🤔

[exotic sierra]

[little crown]

Suck it act 1 boss! That was hell as a warrior

[exotic sierra]

this is not a trade chat

[golden bay]

blood mage ascendancy

[lusty hinge]

Then sure

[heavy estuary]

I tried every time I messaged someone they are offline and not online

[exotic sierra]

set it to online only

[lusty hinge]

Filter by online only

[exotic sierra]

it should default to online only tho, not sure why you'd search for offline people

[tulip zinc]

How high do currencies stack in the currency tab in the stash

[heavy estuary]

I have online only on and there are still people that says online but offline

[lusty hinge]

So afk or smth, or you're just that unlucky that you only msg people that just left the game

[exotic sierra]

5000

[half pasture]

How do you beat the bird boss tornado in trial of chaos. I keep getting one shot by it

[exotic sierra]

get out of it

that's the only thing you can do to survive that fight

only other option is getting lucky and getting literally any other boss

get out of the tornado I mean

[heavy estuary]

Idk if they are afk but when i go to the messaged in game it says they are offline but on the trading website they are online

[exotic sierra]

other oneshots just mean you aren't dodging well enough or you don't have enough defenses

[exotic sierra]

it can bug out like that sometimes. if /whois says they are online, you can retry and it might work

but trade site also doesn't update as often as it probly should, so if you have been looking thru the list for 5 mins you probly need to refresh the page to make sure all the listings are still online and available

[heavy estuary]

I have refreshing the page about 20 times

[untold ferry]

I still never took the first venom draught lol idk what to do

Blood mage

[exotic sierra]

whatever helps you the most

[exotic sierra]

there are also alot of people who have things listed for low values that they actually never intend to respond to. all you can do is retry, some of them will respond later if they are busy or afk at the time and you retry when they are out of their map.

[tacit knot]

Warbringer turtle charm basically means thwt it can now block aoe aswell right?

[mellow basalt]

does anyone know how to claim or goto the hideout from the supporter pack?

[exotic sierra]

yes. sounds like block by default only blocks strikes and projectiles but that makes it able to block all hits (not DOTs)

[exotic sierra]

are you at endgame already?

[vague vessel]

Are you limited on how many sacrificial hearts you can use?

[exotic sierra]

yes, 1

[vague vessel]

Ok thanks

[mellow basalt]

act 5

[exotic sierra]

its a one time quest

[stark fossil]

I was checking out this bonk warrior build is it decent or worth trying?
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/i0xco0vr

[exotic sierra]

should be able to see the go to hideout option on the map I think

I think I saw it in A1

[mellow basalt]

hm weird, nope, and /hideout says player doesn't have one

found it

[exotic sierra]

not sure what I did then, cause I either saw the button on the map or used /hideout

[mellow basalt]

thanks

[exotic sierra]

ok good

you may find that you can't join some players hideouts til you've made it to maps if you're doing trades

I had a few in the past few days where I crashed to the login screen when trying to load in

[mellow basalt]

noted, thanks

[chilly geyser]

Hey all what's the best ascendancy for Monk? Its asking me to choose my ascendancy Yaay

ok i found out invoker is the way to go

[stuck stream]

Monk player - just got to Act 3, but getting almost 1-shot by ads, is there any really good armour/ weapons I should be looking to obtain?

[rugged tangle]

work on evasion/es and resistances will help survivability

[round drum]

actually nvm it works now

[frozen vapor]

What should I do with Uncut skill gems and Uncut support gems?

[covert atlas]

Stash, good for alt characters or if you want to cut a lower level gem

[cyan river]

how to improve quality of amulet?

[rugged tangle]

catalysts, different ones do different things to rings or amulets.... gotta figure out what stat on the ring your trying to boost and get the corresponding catalyst

[cyan river]

so i have amulet with low roll 10 dex (10-15),, i want to improve it,, what catalyst then?

it's implicit

[rugged tangle]

you have to look for the one that improves attributes, I dont know them all off hand as theres like 10 or more different ones

you should be able to find pretty easy on currency exchange

[cyan river]

ok thx

[placid linden]

Im curious, can trials of sekhima be done with other people or nah?

[exotic sierra]

yes

but honor is shared by the party

[iron sable]

Rangers!! Dual string or widow hail for leveling and campaign?

[exotic sierra]

whatever you can find that's good

[inner river]

Dual

[iron sable]

Thank you!

[dark vapor]

hey guys, im newish to the game. was wondering if anybody could donate a pair of gloves to me that has an +intelligence on it 👉🏽👈🏽

[steady loom]

Alright, I might be super lucky, but I ended up with 7 Div Orbs reaching Act 3 Cruel's camp. What is a good level I should work on investing toward endgame?

[steady loom]

What level?

[dark vapor]

im level 44

45*

[steady loom]

Let me check, I might have my old gear around.

[dark vapor]

im doing infernalist witch build

so anything that could help with that would be lovely (‘:

i have 5 exalted orbs if u want it

[steady loom]

Im a Sorc, spark was my old gear. A lot of it has Int+ in it.

No need for exalts if I have it.

[dark vapor]

okay cool just lmk

my ign is Gladful

if u find something

[exotic sierra]

in general, this server is not meant for trades or begging for items. you can try asking in the global or trade channels ingame or try finding some on the trades site. lots of items that are listed for 1 ex or some augments.

[dark vapor]

my fault

[exotic sierra]

or you could try joining guilds and see if they would be willing to help, but not sure how effective that would be https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1312645838727811163

[smoky lava]

Hello are there any mage builds that I dont have to put walls and other things to deal damage?

or any range

[exotic sierra]

probably not, flame wall is a really good projectile buff and you'd be missing out on a fair bit of damage without them. not sure if ice wall works similarly.

[rugged tangle]

spark probably wouldnt need any walls and such and has range.... dunno how expensive it is atm to build well though

[steady loom]

Spark worked flawlessly for me.

The thing that sucked about it was bosses lol, if the arena was big, you needed to Debuff a lot to make up damage.

[smoky lava]

I have made spark but feel it have low damage

[steady loom]

How is your gear?

[smoky lava]

I think its good

[steady loom]

I had around 200-300% Shock Damage.

[half pumice]

can someone on ps5 let me know the controller button combo i need to click to see all the skill gems that can be made to socket my desired skill - it is cut out on my screen cant figure it out

so this is when you click create skill gem i want to remove the recommended list and see all the possible sockitables

ty

[steady loom]

Mapping was really good with it. But then again, for bosses I had to Curse, and initially used the Power Sigil to buff my damage even more

[smoky lava]

I will try other builds

[timber pulsar]

Question- I want to do Monk but if I follow this guide how does that work? I know I can just equip bow etc, but like Skill leveling and stuff do I build my skills towards the Ice strike Flicker build Monk I want or do I need to invest in Bow related stuff and get Dexterity up?

https://youtu.be/DKX-FiMLz0U?si=UaGnjgXKf76tkH0w

[haughty niche]

Thats the worst possible guide you can follow

[steady loom]

I was gonna say the same, but I held myself back.

They mean good, but their vids are full of misinformation.

[haughty niche]

Ragegaming is truly ignorant and awful. Its just bait builds that dont actually work and half the shit he says is just wrong

[lusty hinge]

Ticks all the boxes though, has arrows pointing from 1-60, has "IT'S OP" and all that

[timber pulsar]

Oh man rip, what should I do then is there anyone thats reliable

[round isle]

what exactly am i looking for in there?

ive already killed the traitor

[haughty niche]

Maxroll.gg has some solid lvling guides

[lusty hinge]

Play the game, learn and experiment

[haughty niche]

If you are on cruel its bugged. Not supposed to exist on cruel

[round isle]

ahh

[elfin cobalt]

For the infernal witch build, the alter flesh skill from ascendancy convert my fire/chaos resis to dmg. Is it conversion from the max cap at 75% or my actual total resistance

[round isle]

makes sense

[steady loom]

I can double this, or experiment a bit on your own, that way you can learn the game and all it has to offer.

[golden bay]

Will I be able to choose 4x ascendancy points when doing the "2nd" trial, even though I didn't do the first trial yet?

[fluid heart]

just follow the ice striker build, no need for fancy guide
I just did a new monk yesterday with that build and it works well in early game
if you have any question ask here

[flint wind]

I can recommend this guide https://youtu.be/SOt78mTmUdY?si=M8BhdHmZA5mz9jrT

He has later updates where he goes full ES/more rarity but that requires tons of currency.

Using this build and it's very fun map clearer

[steady loom]

2 from the first, 2 from the first Chaos trial, 2 from the LV50 trials, and 2 from the other chaos trial, lol I might be wrong on the levels

[thick cloak]

are staffs and wands/focus both good for sorceror?

[steady loom]

Yup!

I started with staff, then did the switch to wand and focus for a more fine tuned build.

[thick cloak]

alr neat, was playing monk but not currently feeling it so im trying sorc, cool so far, might go for a flame build if thats feasible and viable

[timber pulsar]

thank yu!

[steady loom]

Im a Chonomancer, picked the class cause nobody was using it originally 🤣 The skill reset can get pretty nasty once you get your builds set up.

But most sorcs go for Stormweaver

[thick cloak]

alr that sounds dope, is there a pyromancer class or nah?

[steady loom]

Not that im aware off, I dont know much about the witch class, but it has an Infernal Acendancy.

You can just make your sorc and focus on the fire spells

I did Shock Spells at first, now I run Cold Spells

You can also mix your spells.

[thick cloak]

alrighty then, thanks. Btw whats an ascendancy?

[steady loom]

Your Upgraded class in simple terms

[sleek fjord]

whats the maraketh shrine?

[steady loom]

All classes have 2 Options

[exotic sierra]

currently one of 2 options for upgrading each class

[exotic sierra]

I think they're the ones that refill honor

[thick cloak]

ok cool, is sorcs stormweave and chrono like you mentioned?

[steady loom]

Thats where u get your Accended class if im not wrong.

[steady loom]

Yup

[thick cloak]

cool cool, thanks

[ripe owl]

To whoever said to roll forward into blackjaw when he slams, like a day or two ago, thanks. Wasn't to me, but it helped a lot.

Got em! \○/

[steady loom]

Imo Stormweaver gets more DPS, and Chronos get more utility, and good DPS but require more set ups 😅

[thick cloak]

ill prolly just go stormweave and mix fire and lightning together then

[keen prawn]

Starting out with my storm weaver sorcerer, would it be better to do energy shield or go towards spell damage?

[steady loom]

Depends

If you are struggling to stay alive Energy shield

But you dont need Energy shield if everything is dead 🤣🤣

But invest in it, even if its an average amount.

[rugged tangle]

check currency exchange at alva, was 120 ex yesterday.... havent checked today

[cold cargo]

thank u

[split anvil]

Hey does anyone has a waypoint for Jiquani's Machinarium act3 cruel, i want to kill Blackjaw The Remnant but since i completed the campaign, it seems like i am soft locked and i can't get back to this boss to get the 10% fire res

[exotic sierra]

you can select act 3 at the top of the world map

[thick cloak]

is there a way to open the skill gems panel w/o needing a skill gem?

[exotic sierra]

not currently
