I think the vultures do drop one key

its their first time kill bonus

[trim turret]

Corrupting can change nothing or make an item better or worse. You can no longer modify corrupted items so you may not be able to use jewels on it.

[amber jay]

Does Blind do anything if you're running the perk that transforms all your Evasion into Armor? I've seen builds picking up Sand in the Eyes while also running Iron Reflexes. Isn't Blind useless if your Evasion is 0 % ?

[royal canopy]

Guys is it Selling The gear at NPC is The only way? Or can I sell rare gears i got at some kind like market or Trade house?

[bright ocean]

yea i kill boss in the firt time it drop but i dont take now i kill another and take it but it not show me the way to come trial

[lament stone]

the quest isnt supposed to exist in cruel difficulty

[inland sentinel]

vendoring items to npcs will just give you gold

if you need gold, you would do that

[idle sandal]

LFG new character act 1

[inland sentinel]

there is one npc you can disenchant with which can give you regal shards

[lament stone]

for your 3rd ascension you need a level 60+ djinn barya

[inland sentinel]

#2┃looking-for-group

[royal canopy]

So in this game there is no market player to player ?

[gloomy kelp]

About to buy some points for the stash tab sale, i know the upgrades give the points value but if i got the first blood pack does it give me the extra stash tab on poe2 or just poe1?

[inland sentinel]

there is but you need to be lvl 25 before trading

[lament stone]

there is, its a website

[mental needle]

These guys

balbala is the quest item but these drop a barya as well

[inland sentinel]

you go on the poe 2 trade website to search for items to trade, and you also need a premium stash tab to sell items from

[mental needle]

it just won't have infinite tries

[lament stone]

that wouldnt be useful anyway, if its act 2 its too low level for 2nd ascension, if its cruel act 2 its too low level for 3rd ascension

[royal canopy]

Ahh almost. Okay brother. And ... 1 thing. Can we show our dmg number when hitting monsters? Because i didn't find anything to activate dmg display at option

[haughty niche]

Change the url to /trade2/ for poe2, and thst guide works

[royal canopy]

Thankss

[inland sentinel]

no current dps meter

[lament stone]

no, only bosses have damage numbers just above their health bar

[inland sentinel]

damage numbers on top of hp bars

[royal canopy]

Ah i see. So we can not see if our dmg is Critical or not like other games. Thankssss 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[lament stone]

theres way too much screen clutter to have damage numbers on every enemy all the time

[foggy birch]

fax

i mean look at d4

[royal canopy]

Ok brother. Thankss

[foggy birch]

gorillion damage numbers

on the screen

[inland sentinel]

one more thing, once you reach 25 on your first character, it unlocks trade for your whole account, including in PoE 1

if you use the same poe account there

[void jacinth]

does Explosive Shot essentially deal more damage if I hit with the projectile as well? So hit + explosion damage?

[bright ocean]

i kill and then take it but still dont see a way come trial of shekhemas

[mental needle]

YOu need to take the caravan there via the desert map

[inland sentinel]

yes

[haughty niche]

You can see the damage breakdown in the dps of thr skill if you press g.
Each part will have its own section with attack damagd etc to let you know if both parts do damage

[void jacinth]

yeah its got Projectile and Explosion. I assume that means they can?

[haughty niche]

Should be able to.

[inland sentinel]

ideally you get a majority of your damage from the explosion rather than the projectile hit

[red vigil]

Hi all, i am having trouble trading on xbox. The trading website works, including the direct whisper etc. But in-game i do not have a trade button, and i do not see a pop-up to accept a trade. I only get the notification that it is cancellen. (I am over lvl 25). Can someone help me out here?

[inland sentinel]

check that you are not in a solo self-found league

[red vigil]

where is best way to check?

[inland sentinel]

for pc it's usually the tab button that opens your map overlay

whatever button that is

[red vigil]

standard league it says

[inland sentinel]

but you are able to invite people?

[red vigil]

yes

i invite them to party

but then they are able to start a trade it seems, because i get to the notification that i gets cancelled

i just do not have the trade option myself and i do not see a popup anywhere to accept and start the trade

[inland sentinel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1hd7u6v/is_the_trade_not_working_for_console/ seems you're not the only one

[red vigil]

i have seen that thread. Some things people talk about are different, some the same.

But then its still strange that others apperantly are able to start a trade

[dark talon]

So if I got corrupted and it doesn’t show what happened does it mean nothing changed? Happened twice in row. I know minion tooltips are bugged now but just wanna make it clear. Corruption on skill gems can do nothing?

[fleet sleet]

Hello all! Do most people beat trial of chaos around 39/40?

[terse stratus]

I have a question or maybe a few questions on damage modifiers from the passive tree. I understand some modifiers are multiplicative, some affect base damage, and some are just additive. I'm a little confused about specifically the following modifiers and whether they are all effectively the same (additive) to skills: increased attack damage, increased damage with two-handed weapons, increased projectile damage, increased damage with hits to enemies with low life. I'm assuming these all function the same except some are more conditional like the ability needs to have the attack and projectile tag. What about increased damage with two-handed weapons? Is that any skill while equipped with a two-handed weapon? Is increased damage with hits to enemies with low life a multiplicative or additive bonus?

[red vigil]

@terse stratus have you been able to trade on xbox?

[terse stratus]

i traded once a few days ago

[lament stone]

increased is additive with other sources of increased, and the total multiplies the base value

[red vigil]

how did it work for you

when i get to the point for in game trading i do not see any popups to acccept the trade

[lament stone]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1321237459987726366

[terse stratus]

ok so all those modifiers are basically the same

oh cool let me read this ty

[terse stratus]

oh actually I haven't. I remember I switched to the PC specifically so i wouldn't have to figure out the controls on the xbox for trading

[red vigil]

@terse stratus are you willing to try out trading with me? To see if i can figure it ouy

or anyone who is wiling

[eternal bolt]

how to ping item in chat ?

[red vigil]

you can hover over the item in your inventory and link it to chat

[lament stone]

when it comes to increased damage with two handed weapons, that would depend on the wording
increased damage with two handed weapons would only apply to attacks that use your two handed weapon, increased damage while wielding two handed weapons would apply to any attack or spell you use while holding a two handed weapon iirc

[twin hill]

Is Ventor's gamble gold ring not worth much anymore?

[potent glade]

Can anyone help with ascension got a couple djinn IGN xeroxyx

[lament stone]

this isnt an lfg channel

#2┃looking-for-group

[lament stone]

how much its worth depends on the roll

[twin hill]

I see

[terse stratus]

yeah it's hard to confirm i'm going based on every mercenary guide taking it so i'm assuming it' applies at least to the projectiles merc uses

[twin hill]

I got 2 and not sure how much it's worth

[foggy birch]

link me ill price them for u

[buoyant wharf]

Guys what do i spend 300 points on in the store? Stash tabs? if so which ones

[lament stone]

attacks use your weapon, spells do not

[foggy birch]

can u do ingame

[twin hill]

How

[foggy birch]

lols

[short reef]

What is this type of item with the orange text and stuff?

[twin hill]

Unique

[short reef]

I got one level 15 will it be useful later on?

[frosty sail]

how can i break Flasks with Quality?

[lament stone]

you cant

[frosty sail]

oh

[foggy birch]

@twin hillwhats ur ingame

[frosty sail]

thank you

so if i dont need them, just throw them away, right?

[twin hill]

Char name or the other?

[deft needle]

How do maps work. I just unlocked em. How do i start one?

[foggy birch]

yes bro ur character name

[twin hill]

Cieena

[buoyant wharf]

Whats the best to spend 300 points on?

[twin hill]

Stash tabs

[buoyant wharf]

But theres tons of different ones

[rose hearth]

I'd wait for a stash tab sale then buy a currency, map & premium in that order. Other useful ones can be fragment, gem, unique, maybe a quad

Depending on what you want

That being said not all of those work in poe2 rn

[twin hill]

There is sale now

[rose hearth]

(map) but that'll come soon, you'll want one

Ah right didn't realise it had started

You'll definitely want a currency & at least one premium tab (for trading)

And a map tab

[lament stone]

you probably dont need a map tab in poe2 tbh

waystones are so much easier to manage

[rose hearth]

You absolutely do what

[frosty sail]

@lament stone

[rose hearth]

They're exactly the same as maps

It's been horrible without a tab

[short reef]

What should I do with lower level uniques?

[lament stone]

i havent had any issues

currency and gem are the only two im really finding useful rn

[rose hearth]

Mostly they're not worth anything so disenchant for chance shards

Gem is surprisingly good now yeah

Idk to me without a map tab it's exactly like in poe1 when I didn't have it. Feels bad, especially without affinity

IMO currency, premium, gem, map & rune tabs will be the most important. When the last two get added, anyway

[lament stone]

i dont think theres going to be a rune tab

[rose hearth]

I hope they add affinity at least, if no tab

[twin hill]

I got all the tabs, makes clearing inventory faster

[wooden lava]

i use the bottom of the currency tab for runes

[twin hill]

Unique one is especially nice

[rose hearth]

Unique is good if you like collecting them, yeah

[pine oar]

Trials of chaos is level 37 correct?

[haughty niche]

it varies depending on the tier of trial you do

[pine oar]

oh how can i make it easier im level 47 and i want to do the ascendency but getting rolled

[haughty niche]

you dont

[stoic nacelle]

can we override an anountment on an amulet?

[haughty niche]

its just rng bullshit you need to wade through for 2 hours until it hands you a free win

[pine oar]

oh like the first trial then, RIP

[haughty niche]

yes

GGG really went with 2 rng shitfests as their methods of choice for ascending

[pine oar]

yea i thought if i just wait till im way over leveled it woudl be easier

[haughty niche]

i found waiting until the end of the acts they were available in was enough

[thick cloak]

hey so are the passive tree buffs stacking or are they adding their own buff each time? i.e like 2 seperate 8% mana regen buffs is it 1 applied and then the next or 16% all at once?

[short reef]

thanks

[pine oar]

ill try doing it at the end of act 3 then thanks

[digital shale]

Can you upgrade nunber of curses before act 3 and passive skill ? becouse I can somehow have 2 curses on without it and dont know how I managed to do it

[haughty niche]

For sekhimas, you can keep failing the quest one and get honour resist relics. 75% honour res makes the 2nd and 3rd trial MUCH easier.

like you go from taking 250 honour hits down to like 50

also having some defenses increase on a relic boosts the amount of honour you start with considerably. Energyshield is also overtuned in sekhimas as well.

[stoic nacelle]

can we anoint a corrupted amulet?

im guessing not

[haughty niche]

%increased modifiers are additive with similar %increased modifiers.

[thick cloak]

yippeee, i was hoping so, i hate the ones where its seperate each time lol, thanks brotha

[haughty niche]

So if you had
+15% fire damage
+20% fire damage

it would be +35% fire damage.

If you also had +10% elemental damage, it would effectively add to that as well

[thick cloak]

great

[haughty niche]

it required a special item in poe1. idk if theres a similar item in poe2

[vocal cave]

hello, what good is having projectiles travel __% faster? Does it do more damage if it's faster? Sorry for the noob question

[haughty niche]

do you have a unique item or passive tree node providing +1 additional curse?

[normal ibex]

i found it useful on my spark so far

[haughty niche]

Faster proj often makes skills feel MUCH better. Also theres a bow node on tree that makes %increases to proj speed also apply to proj damage

[normal ibex]

might have better 'feel' on some of the slower ones, havent tested it on the ranger yet, weirdly enough

[calm cosmos]

cany any 1 help me please?
when using this armor i lose 10% movment speed instead of gain movment speed any ideas why?? i have 17k evasion

[vocal cave]

feel eh? But it's different from attack speed no? "feel" is so confusing to quantify imo lol. But will try it out, thanks!

[haughty niche]

body armours have an inherent hidden -5% movementspeed on them. I think some are slightly less

[rough dew]

Guys where can I check stuff like my crit?

It doesn’t seem to be on my character tab

[digital shale]

no items for sure and thats when I realised there is something becouse I put point in whispers of doom and didnt realize what it doing first but after I read about it that it stacks curses I realized I could already do that

[rough dew]

I had your issue too

[digital shale]

I use contagion and dispair all the time toghether

[rough dew]

Is one of your curses conditional?

[deft needle]

i cant find the unbound avatar skill?

[digital shale]

even before

[rough dew]

For me it was cast on shock

[normal ibex]

attack/cast speed is also fun, but sometimes its not worth replacing an extra damage support gem/modifier if its an option

[lament stone]

contagion isnt a curse

[haughty niche]

the -0.03 is -3% movement speed from the armour base

[haughty niche]

should be under dps i think g

its skill dependant

[calm cosmos]

what you mean?

[haughty niche]

well for spells it is. For attacks it uses your weapon's crit chance

[rough dew]

Cast on shock had no gem in it, therefore the curse was free

[rough dew]

Got it, Thanks!

[lament stone]

body armours have a hidden movespeed penalty

[vocal cave]

yeah, it's an option for me on my ranger skill tree, but i cant help but think it's a waste compared to using it on like say, attack speed or damage nodes. But ill give it a shot and see how i like it. If not, refund i guess lol

[royal canopy]

This is what a game suppose to be. Not P2W. I like this game. All this time i stucked in game like D3, Diablo Immortal, Ragnarok, spend spend spend like idiot. This game is Awesome

[rough dew]

How about bonus drop %? (Rough translation)

[haughty niche]

i mean equipping body armours reduces your movement speed by a small amount. Queen of the forest is -3%

[lament stone]

from the way its worded queen of the forest sounds like it disables movespeed increases from the tree too

[calm cosmos]

but im suppose to gain 1% for every 500 evashion i have

i have 16k

and just losing 10% when using the armor from 45 to 35

not gaining any

[lament stone]

so youyea 35 sounds right

you lose movespeed bonuses from the tree

[calm cosmos]

oh

[haughty niche]

this is from monk Invoker ascendency point i believe

[calm cosmos]

fk

[rose hearth]

It stops you from gaining MS from any other sources, i.e. boots, tree etc.

It also stops you from being slowed though as no other modifiers to your speed apply. It's definitely good if you can get enough evasion

[deft needle]

Yea just found that out whilst googling

[haughty niche]

rarity shows up on the on-kill effects section. I think thats either on c or g

[rose hearth]

It's on the dps page of your skills I believe

[haughty niche]

sounds like it would also disable other stuff like Headhunter buffs too.

which sucks lol

[rough dew]

Im playing on PlayStation. In what tab do you press something?

Could you please take a screenshot where it is for you?

I‘d highly appreciate that

[haughty niche]

c is character tab. Though someone mentioned its under dps in gem section

gem page is g on pc.

so you would go to your gems -> dps of a gem -> onkill effects

[rough dew]

So basically where the crit is?

Or what do you mean by onhit effects?

[haughty niche]

literally just a section in that list of stats

[rough dew]

Idk if there’s any point in showing you something German

But there is nothing about bonus drop %

[haughty niche]

should be a detailed info on damage on each gem

if you go to one of those it would list the onkill effects too, which should include rarity.

[lament stone]

open the skill menu, click the arrow to find on kill effects

[rough dew]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[rough dew]

Im on PlayStation 🥲

[haughty niche]

read the bottom bar with controls

should have one for dps or something

[rough dew]

Guys

Hold on

I think we might have confused something

[haughty niche]

idk what ps5 looks like and i dont know german so cant help

[lament stone]

whatever button opens this menu

scroll to the very bottom for on kill effects

[haughty niche]

yeah menues dont line up 100% on pc and ps. We can only give you what we do.

[rough dew]

I see this for the first time in my life lol

[rough dew]

Yeah I appreciate that!

[haughty niche]

like PS is completely different menues.

[rough dew]

Don’t get me wrong pls

[normal ibex]

its the 'Advanced Info' option on console

[haughty niche]

is that a button or an options setting

[normal ibex]

https://i.imgur.com/vGtgYFG.png

[rough dew]

Thank!

[normal ibex]

press A on a skill then advanced info

[rough dew]

Got it

Yeah

[normal ibex]

the massive difference between console UI and PC UI is... challenging

[rough dew]

That was what I was looking for

Thanks yall

[haughty niche]

ye. PC has a single button on bottom right of ui that just lists all the pages out too so i couldn't even refer to that for console

[ember ice]

Hey guys,

Noob question. Is the DPS label in the market reliable or nah? Like for weapons.

[haughty niche]

Its not what you thinj it is

[normal ibex]

its the visuals too which make it complex to explain

[haughty niche]

Dps on weapon is just avg local damage * attacks per second

[narrow bramble]

Hi everyone, would anyone be available to help me pass the second chaos test please

[haughty niche]

So yes its accurate, but its not your total damage you will be dealing

[lament stone]

its the dps of the weapon itself, with no skills or tree or other gear to increase it

[ember ice]

gotcha. just wanna make sure cause I'm seeing a 170 increase physical dmg's DPS is greater than a 210 increase physical dmg's DPS. Both almost the same stats.

[arctic silo]

What is the best to buy for 300 coins in shop at this moment?

[haughty niche]

yeah the dps on the site i think also accounts for 20% quality? I forget. quality is a multiplier to the local damage of the weapon.

The dps value is just this

[lament stone]

thos increased physical damage mods are local to the weapon, they only increase the base physical damage on the weapon

so the weapon with lower % increased physical damage might have higher flat physical damage

[ember ice]

Here are the 2 that I'm looking at.

[dusky burrow]

you're cropping out the base

which is important

left is probably a better base with worse explicits, right is better explicits and worse base

[haughty niche]

if you just wanted the "dps" of the weapon, then these top stats are what matter

the explicit modifiers increase those top stats. The blue values are shown AFTER the explicit modifiers are applied.

[clear vine]

Why doesn't alva have her shop in my hideout?

[ember ice]

Sorry I'm new to POE. What base are you referring to?

[dusky burrow]

just above the part that you showed

[lament stone]

the weapon itself, like gothic quaterstaff or crackling quarterstaff

each weapon base has different base stats

crackling quarterstaff for example has no base physical damage, instead its base damage is lightning

[ember ice]

Ahhhh.

Here you go.

[lament stone]

but the one on the left has a smaller range which is why the average physical dps is higher

181-350 vs 167-350

[short reef]

Question, I'm playing an invoker with mainly lightning skills for my weapon should I prioritize lightning bonus or phyisical?

[ember ice]

I see. So, do you reckon the one on the left is better?

[foggy birch]

damn crafting pays off

another 5div+

[ripe owl]

Do blinking skulls and chests on waypoint map mean bosses/chests(?) that I haven't done?

[foggy birch]

item crafted

[arctic silo]

I'm in act3 cruel Jiquani's Machinarium. I can't put small soul core into the stone altar. Why?

[ember ice]

Sorry guys and thank you for putting up with all my questions.

Appreciate it.

[wooden lava]

@ripe owl if you haven't done what's on the map it will be white, when it's finished it's grayed out... no idea what the blinking is supposed to mean

[frank fulcrum]

so.... Gemling Legionaire is BETTER IN ALL WAYS compared to Titan and Warbringer

gg

[safe lance]

um

[dusky burrow]

no

[fallow dune]

hi guys my friend is planning on starting poe 2 but he has zero experience with poe whatsoever. he wants to play ranger so i was wondering if there were any good beginner friendly builds out there?

[safe lance]

yea check fubgun's lightning arrow deadeye. He had leveling and endgame versions.

[solar grove]

Hey guys quick question, my guide mentions "Cast on Freeze", how does this work, i cant find it

[wooden lava]

it's a spirit gem skill

[solar grove]

i have cold snap and the orb in my bag but im too dumb

[solar grove]

aaaah now i got it

is there a way to get one ez?

[wooden lava]

you get one in act 1, but it's not high level enough for cast on freeze

they drop randomly or as rewards

[solar grove]

i got the one in act 1 already

[undone panther]

how does energy shield recovery from ghost shroud or shock siphon work with overcapped es from grim feast and meditate? will it recover to the overcapped value or does it only recover to normal max energy shield?

[wooden lava]

for cast on freeze it's level 7

[red vigil]

Anyone knows why I do not have the trade option on xbox. Other seems to be able to request trade with my but nothing pops up.

[normal ibex]

Do you not get this whem you A button on another player?
https://i.imgur.com/U8EB1aA.png

[red vigil]

No. Trade is not there

Also not party invtie

But through the social menu I can invite to party

[vivid cedar]

do monster give 2x more xp if u in party?

[red vigil]

Don't know. Only played alone so far

[eager basin]

starting game with nose in build guide sounds like the most boring shit

[vast mesa]

The % of those sales are always the same or sometimes it goes to 50% or more?

[cinder compass]

Can you get help with the Ascendency trials?

[eager basin]

psure stash tab sales are always the same

[eager basin]

yes

[vast mesa]

the same % for each item at each sale?
or next sale can be 34% for the premium stash tab like the extra stash tab

[half pasture]

On the trade site, which energy shield value is correct as there's 2 es values listed for each item

[eager basin]

I'm quite certain the sales are always identical, so yes, same % on each item

[proud warren]

If I buy a stash like the quad tab one, will it be shareable with PoE1?

[normal ibex]

yes

[eager basin]

value listed at the top is the actual value, two values at the bottom are the range the item base can roll

[vast mesa]

awesome thanks 🙂

[eager basin]

if it's like poe1

I haven't been on poe2 trade

[half pasture]

So for this the true es is 333

[eager basin]

yes

[half pasture]

Oh Damn

[eager basin]

wait

don't trust me I have no fucking idea

[half pasture]

Yeh I'm also super confused how the trade site lists things

[eager basin]

in poe1 the bottom area has base stats

this is clearly not the case here

maybe the bottom one includes rune effects and top doesn't?

[haughty niche]

i believe the bottom value assumes 20% quality?

[eager basin]

but the top value is lower

the bottom one assuming 20%

[haughty niche]

meant bottom woops

[eager basin]

would make sense

yeah that tracks

[outer ledge]

Hello gamers, act 1, is this specifically just for leveling and focusing on gameplay rather than looking up builds?

[half pasture]

But there's no quality on that item tho

[eager basin]

the bottom one is the value if the item had 20% quality

[haughty niche]

quality is multiplicative in poe2 so 333 x 1.2

[eager basin]

for comparison with other items

[opaque kayak]

does this work with grim feast?

[half pasture]

Oh so it's potentially what es you would get with full quality

[eager basin]

yes

[haughty niche]

yeah lets you search for items that could be x value of ES.
In case theres a really good one thats just not qualitied yet

[outer ledge]

Also, when do builds matter the most (I’m still on act 1, but my buddy says ti start working on a starter build)

[half pasture]

Oh I get it. Wow that's hella confusing

[eager basin]

I would say don't ruin your experience by sticking your nose in a guide

[inland zenith]

what are - generally speaking - stats to look for on a Quiver? I thought I found a decent one but ppl immediately said "trash"

[eager basin]

why play if you're gonna get handheld through the whole thing

[haughty niche]

you can play the whole game without a buildguide if you want.

If you do intend to follow one, you should follow it from the very start. Its quite difficult to respec/fit into a build you weren't originally following

[half pasture]

@haughty niche so the actual es value for the item as is currently is the top value then right

[eager basin]

yes

[half pasture]

Kk. Tysm

[hard cypress]

When Ice Strike says "Converts 80% of Physical Damage to Cold Damage" does that mean it won't do any other damage ? Like if the weapon has fire on it, does that not matter if I just spam ice strike ?
And if I have a pure ice weapon, how does that work ?

[opaque kayak]

It will still do other damage types, it's just that the 80% of your physical is converted to deal cold damage

[opaque kayak]

Then you will not be converting any Phys, that is why if you have a conversion skill, for example Ice strike, the more Phys you have, the more damage you deal.

[hard cypress]

So a weapon with (50 phys dmg + 10 fire) is better than one with just (50 phys dmg) for ice strike correct ?

[opaque kayak]

As you can see, my ice strike is dealing other damage types also, but the cold damage is way more.

[opaque kayak]

yes

[foggy birch]

the fire wont melt ur ice

dont worry

LOL

[opaque kayak]

You will just have a chance to proc ignite

[foggy birch]

yea

[ripe iron]

Guys I picked the wrong Ascendency class anyway I can redeem myself?

[foggy birch]

which is a nice addition

[hard cypress]

I.. was kinda worried about it ngl. Like in Dark Souls 3 hitting something with fire resets the freeze proc. I was not sure how it worked here lol

[opaque kayak]

the higher the number of the element damage, the higher the chance to proc ailment

[opaque kayak]

nope, unfortunately

[ripe iron]

ok where can I go for leveling services. I cant stand going through 1-29 again with the monk

[vast mesa]

where do I click to sell in this tab?

[haughty niche]

there is no way to respec ascendency choice currently. The community hates this and hopefully it will eventually be an option (it was in poe1). Apparently some of the designers are against this for whatever wack ass reason they have. Probably the same people who decided clicking a well to refill flasks is fun and mandatory

[opaque kayak]

I know it sucks that you can't reset ascendancy, but it's such a high upgrade that you should already be prepared what to pick before you do it.

[ripe iron]

yea I got confused following the build from Moby not going into details but it didnt do a good job of clearly stating which one and actually had verbage implying the one I picked (wrongly)

[modest drift]

Is there a resource for character builds? I'm trash at making my own :<

[vast mesa]

Found it

[haughty niche]

or in usual poe fasion, you pick it, realise you hate it or it doesn't work how you want it to, and would like to respec it but the game says no

[vast mesa]

do I need to manually trade the item with the other player or it auto sells it?

[minor nova]

is there a trade channel or a place i can ask people to trade here?

[short reef]

Question, I'm playing an invoker with mainly lightning skills for my weapon should I prioritize lightning bonus or phyisical?

[opaque kayak]

That would be the ideal, yes. Again, it sucks. They really need to change it.

[haughty niche]

@vast mesa @minor nova #1224054294823702699 Its manual.
Change the link to /trade2/ for poe2

[minor nova]

lightning bonus scales better than physical, afaik its only 80% of physical that scales towards lightning while lightning itself is a direct buff

[safe lance]

I would guess physical but this is the better place to check https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1322159812863066133

[opaque kayak]

Read the skill you are using, if you are converting Phys to Lightning, then stack Phys damage, if not then Lightning.

[minor nova]

well i was looking for a different kind of trade not with ex/div i just wanted to find someone whos looking for different fate types to find trialmaster

[simple sparrow]

Best build to start the game/campaign and start farming gear ?

[modest drift]

Is there a resource for character builds? I'm trash at making my own :<

[minor nova]

maxroll.gg or this discord is good

[safe lance]

#1308715058716610580

or maxroll or mobalytics yeah

[haughty niche]

depends on what archetypes you enjoy. You can use maxroll.gg for builds if you like to follow them. They have levelling guide section

[modest drift]

More along the lines of what I meant. Is either of those... idk... better? I know we're in EA so everyone is still working the skill tree and what not, just not really sure what would be better to look at/follow along with.

[haughty niche]

Mobalytics is fine, though it does let basically anyone make guides on it even if they dont know shit about the game or are maliciously just doing it for clicks/views

maxroll is certainly more vetted, but has had a couple cases where guides weren't up to par (these usually get removed until fixed/updated)

[modest drift]

Gotcha thank you so much 🙂

[inner halo]

Im totally new to trading, if I see something on the site that I want to buy, what do I do?

[modest drift]

It's also looking like if you want to play a spell caster you may as well just roll a Witch and not a Sorceress @_@

[lean hedge]

Click direct whisper, wait for the party invite, teleport to seller location, trade.
Prepare your currency in Advance just in case

[inner halo]

So if I whisper and they dont do anything does that mean its probably alrdy gone?

[lean hedge]

Or they are busy, but pretty much yes

[inner halo]

Alright cheers

[lean hedge]

If im mapping i usually ingore whispers for cheap stufg

[inner halo]

Yea thats prob what it is

[haughty niche]

#1224054294823702699 goes through the steps

[short reef]

Thanks all for the answer

[inner halo]

Thankyou

What are these modifiers called

if anything

[harsh moon]

how do you teleport between the past and present on the campaign map?

[hybrid star]

runes?

[queen sinew]

for titan warrior leap slam or rolling slam ?

[inner halo]

But for example this one has one but without runes https://i.imgur.com/lwMvHk3.png

[normal ibex]

looks like theyve used the rune slots on the uniques since you cant do much to them

[dusky burrow]

thats from corruption

[lament stone]

for searching them on the trade site, theyre enchants

[inner halo]

ahhh that makes sense thankyou

was wondering why the stat filter wasnt working

[mental tusk]

the reward if you finish The burden of leadership tapestry relic in Trial of Sekhemas?

[fallow dune]

nice to meet you too lol

[clever geode]

is there any class that use eva and armor body?

[lament stone]

any class can

[stray zephyr]

wtf is this, I have to watch these portals, the things on the ground, the electric things, the tornadoes and the boss.. how do I do this lol

[haughty niche]

every class can use any item and skill

[blissful sorrel]

Hi guys, any idea on this one. I’m on act 2 cruel, I’m at traitors passage, as I have the quest Ascent To Power, it says search traitors passage, I have been around the whole thing. Done the boss twice as I thought it may have just glitched the first time. I don’t know what I’m missing haha, any ideas?

[clever geode]

but is there anyclass/build that use that?

[lament stone]

witch hunter is the only ascendancy that mentions both evasion and armour

[eager basin]

my recommendation for beginner build guides being "don't use one"

[lament stone]

bugged, ignore it

[haughty niche]

Mercenary (and eventually duelist) start in the area of the tree that has plenty of access to evasion and armour though, making it easy to specialize into both if you want. ATM armour is ass so most people that have the option between the two will just full invest into evasion

[blissful sorrel]

Oh is it a known one?

[mental tusk]

whats does do ? haha

[sour pebble]

google it, bruh

meet me half way here

[lament stone]

the quest isnt supposed to exist in cruel difficulty, the fact that it shows up is the bug

[sour pebble]

zarokh is the boss of the 4th floor

[stray zephyr]

isnt this an advice channel, go google it isnt advice lol

[dusky burrow]

too difficult

[sour pebble]

their question is already answered

[blissful sorrel]

Oh I got you. Thanks for the heads up, appreciate it

[fallow dune]

btw I’m playing internalise do you know where I can see the stats of my minions?

*infernalist

[rough dew]

Hey guys, I think I’ve seen a video where somebody explained you can assign certain drops to certain stash tabs and then quick stash everything. (Currency or uncut gems for example)

Is that possible, and if yes, how to do it?

[stray zephyr]

any tips? this fight is rly giving me a headache

[dusky burrow]

affinities

[stray zephyr]

is it my build? is this boss just overtuned or what

[haughty niche]

On pc, rightclicking the tab at the top of the stash lets you set affinities to do that

[sour pebble]

right click one of your stash tab names

[sour pebble]

stay close to the boss

[haughty niche]

for me it took getting a staff upgrade from vendor which made it much more manageable (and gave freezing shards so that i didn't run out of mana)

[pliant tundra]

I have a question, i got alot of lower levels djinn barya and inscribed ultimatum. What should i do with them? Go do them or what?

[rough dew]

Okay im on PlayStation, so again, it’s slightly different

I found this

[stray zephyr]

I already got a good wand from the vendor but I just cant keep track of all the shit in the arena

[haughty niche]

you can run them for rewards, or let them rot in stash.

[stray zephyr]

theres like 6 things I have to keep track of at all times or else I die

[sour pebble]

kinda just gotta get good idk

[pliant tundra]

Is the rewards better then doing waystones?

[sour pebble]

maybe your dps is low?

two portals suggests your dps might be a bit low

[stray zephyr]

idk

[sour pebble]

i kill him without seeing a second portal on my campaign runs

[stray zephyr]

his hp goes down slow

[haughty niche]

probably not unless you are ssf or specialized into running them easily

[lament stone]

thats the stash settings, not the individual tab settings

[stray zephyr]

my dmg comes from level 9 gems which I only got one of

[rough dew]

I think I got it now?

[lament stone]

thats it

[sour pebble]

are you following a build guide? i dont even recognize a lot of the skills on your bars lol

[dark talon]

gitgud amy

[stray zephyr]

very good advice thank you.

[pliant tundra]

Flicker monk and i do t8 riight now. Seems like ppl run trials for stuff but donno myself. Its so much random in them. Thanks @haughty niche

[stray zephyr]

yes

[sour pebble]

what is the guide

can u link it

[rough dew]

Okay the affinity is set to currency

[stray zephyr]

Yed

[sour pebble]

maybe it's a crap guide

[rough dew]

Does this now mean, I can press one button and it transfers all currency?

[stray zephyr]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/fireball-chronomancer-leveling-guide#skills-header

[wraith yoke]

Does anybody know if I could socket a warcry skill gem into a meta gem? Hoping to cast warcry instantly as I stack charges

[sour pebble]

oof fireball chronomancer

[rough dew]

Or just when I manually stash currency, it automatically goes to that tab

[sour pebble]

okay let's see what the guide is cooking

[dark talon]

Sorry, I actually feel bad for saying that, I know it wasn't helpful and I was wrong to say that. I hope you find a build that will help you increase your DPS and survavbility.

[haughty niche]

on pc its ctrl+click sends an item from inv to correct tab.
Not a single-press thing

[sour pebble]

okay i dont like this guide

[hard cypress]

I think I had similar dps like you, the first portal disappears a bit so I just tried to survive while both portals were up. Just walking around in that single quadrant. Fight was kinda tedious but a lot of fun compared to standing in one place and holding ice strike.

[stray zephyr]

its alright we all say things we dont mean sometimes, and thank you

[rough dew]

Okay, Theres no quick stash feature as in it Transfers all currency, right?

[stray zephyr]

did I pick a bad guide 😭

[sour pebble]

i think so....

[haughty niche]

nope

[rough dew]

Aye got you, that helped. Thanks guys!

[haughty niche]

guide seems fine

[gritty ivy]

Is Titan or Warbringer better for Warrior?

[dusky burrow]

titan is much more popular

[haughty niche]

completely depends on what you want to be doing

[hard cypress]

Having heal mana pots with "x gain recharge per second" was very helpful for that fight too

[gritty ivy]

I mostly just want to enjoy a big two-handed weapon and smash stuff

[sour pebble]

bro wtf is this guide

this can't be right

nah this is actually awful

[wooden lava]

i think with titan it's easier to run two handed weapon + shield

if you get giant's blood

[sour pebble]

it has you taking lightning damage nodes but you dont have any lightning damage skills????

[haughty niche]

you have unreasonably high standards of most things so can't be that bad

[sour pebble]

i must be misunderstanding something

nah man have u looked?

[dusky burrow]

they start with spark

[sour pebble]

look at the act 3 skill setup

no spark in that setup

[stray zephyr]

you take lightning skills before you get fireball and frost wall

orb of storms and spark

[haughty niche]

its a fireball build.

[sour pebble]

it's fireball, frost wall, frost bomb, flame wall, hypothermia, but their passive tree recommends taking lightning dmg nodes???

dude are u reading what im saying

this guide makes no sense

[gritty ivy]

Oh you can wear a two-handed weapon and shield? Okay that's cool

[sour pebble]

i think the person didn't update parts of it

[dusky burrow]

they respec to cold

on higher level

[stray zephyr]

is there a way to just respec parts of my tree or do I have to respec like everything just to change 1 thing

[wooden lava]

@gritty ivy you need to aim for giant's blood notable in the passive tree but it requires lots of strength

[gritty ivy]

Gotcha

[hard cypress]

Need to backtrack till no other nodes depend on its connection. Unless you want to change the stat on a node which you can do without any other change

[stray zephyr]

god damnit

[sour pebble]

crap guide lol

can not recommend

[hard cypress]

yeeeeep

[stray zephyr]

I could just respec a few nodes or one node in poe1 :(

[haughty niche]

i legitimately see no issues with this guide

[hard cypress]

I played poe 1 for 5 minutes lol

[normal ibex]

somebody was telling me earlier in the week that lighting sorcs were shit, so maybe people consider lightning garbage in general?

[wooden lava]

lightning sorceress is the most popular build

[haughty niche]

though they go stormweaver and not chronomancer

[hard cypress]

I think (not sure) if you remove a bunch of nodes and then respec another way to get those nodes all in one shot, it won't count of them as respeced ? Maybe someone can confirm

[normal ibex]

so meta is democracy? popular doesnt necessarily mean best, but at the same time i dont think theres a 'best' single category tbh

[sour pebble]

i dont see fireball or spark on your bars. which are you using?

[stray zephyr]

fireball is on the right

[sour pebble]

ah you're on the fireball setup

did you switch out the lightning dmg nodes?

on your tree?

[stray zephyr]

no

I dont have gold

[sour pebble]

yeah this is why this guide is crap

passive tree doesn't guide you well enough on the swap

[stray zephyr]

and apparently I have to get rid of the whole tree to replace a few nodes :/

[clever geode]

how many do i need to kill in the altar?

[sour pebble]

god he's having you take so many pathing nodes, too

yikes

[stray zephyr]

idk if I go make a new character or get a ton of gold

[haughty niche]

thats just sorc area of tree actually. Theres like no good way to path through there lol

[haughty niche]

it only costs 2 points.

[stray zephyr]

wdym

[dusky burrow]

you just respec a few points on a random cluster

use those points to fix the connection, then respec the ones you wanted to respec originally

[dusky burrow]

and fill the random cluster back in

[stray zephyr]

ohh

[haughty niche]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/tree/28qz0nr9/4 the tree in the guide fully shows it if you use the arrows.

[stray zephyr]

I'll do that

[merry dock]

anyone know how to get the second ascendancy? I have another djinn barya coin but it says it doesnt give me more points

[winged crescent]

so you can actually get your second ascendency through playing act 3

[merry dock]

ah okay perfect, thanks

[haughty niche]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Ascendancy_class#Ascendancy

[stray zephyr]

mY CAT IS TRYING TO BITE MY FEET

[safe lance]

We cannot help with that sry

unless it is a cat in acts

[winged crescent]

bite his

[wooden lava]

use steel toe boots

[haughty niche]

Yeah. Id say the build you are following is totally fine, just not like a super meta one. If it looks interesting to you keep going

[haughty niche]

have you tried cats on crit

[stray zephyr]

I did and she tried to bite my hand

[winged crescent]

next try to attack the hind legs as to add a stun debuff

[hard cypress]

Just get some evasion armor smh

[haughty niche]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ4d1bNzoJM (cant wait for this game to get same lvl of mtx as poe1)

[stray zephyr]

I cant wait to spend my life savings on mtx

[stray zephyr]

CAN I BUY THIS

[haughty niche]

unfortunately i don't think its in poe2 atm?

[clever geode]

wot

[stray zephyr]

I will re download poe1 rn

[winged crescent]

sadly no its not

[foggy birch]

bro

wtf is that

[stray zephyr]

is it in the mtx shop??

[winged crescent]

???

[clever geode]

did not know ring have rarity in both pre and suf

[hard cypress]

Is this like.. normal poe 1 gameplay ?

[haughty niche]

rarity is an exception and has both a prefix and a suffix for it on many gear pieces. That might be worth a solid chunk

[haughty niche]

id argue yes but it can be more tame or more eye-sore depending on what you like

[hard cypress]

more ? 👀 holy

[stray zephyr]

someone said poe1 is like vampire survivors and it kinda is lol

[haughty niche]

this is poe1 shop. You can check in poe2 (assuming soulrend exists i haven't even checked)

[hard cypress]

THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING OF but couldn't place it lol

[clever geode]

yeah i seen people using it

[stray zephyr]

poe1 is like vampire survivors if it took 50 hours to get to level 80 instead of 20 minutes

[vestal spire]

are these stats enough for utzaal and to reach act 1 cruel? (spark lvl 15 with 513 dps)

[haughty niche]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmKf_bgtknM Heres a guy who is known for doing unreplecatable meme builds that destroy either your pc, the server, or both in poe1, if you were curious.

[hard cypress]

You can have lvl 15 skills at utzaal ???

[stray zephyr]

bro vendors a mirror

[vestal spire]

i did?
the mnonsters and boss there killed me nonstop, so i decided to change all my gear
but afraid to go there so i'm asking just in case

[frank sonnet]

I would call this decent yeah, could be better, could be worse

[hard cypress]

Nice nice. I just have like lvl 11 uncut gems at utzaal. I didn't do any ascendancy / chaos stuff after the first one so there's that

[frank sonnet]

Salutations, Exile - you know you're gonna see some shit haha

[haughty niche]

or not see anything, depends how you look (or don't look) at it

[vestal spire]

and you managed to clear it? pro player

[hard cypress]

My brain started lagging just watching it

[hard cypress]

I just hold ice strike and things just die lol

[vestal spire]

huh >.>

what class?

[hard cypress]

Monke. Just ice strike + darth maul buff. Bell if I feel funny.

[steel scaffold]

I'm playing a Monk Invoker flicker build that has all energy shield. My HP is 1 - and health flasks heal my energy shield. When I open Character statistics I see that I have -20% energy shield recharge rate. Does anyone know where I should go to increase that?

[weak harness]

im pretty new to maps, should I do towers? should I save them till i know what im doing?

[hard cypress]

I am having sudden mana issues at this point though. Went from using maybe 1 mana pot to drinking all of them and running out of it now

[vestal spire]

monks are op fr

[hard cypress]

I was doing a lightning version with siphon strike, killing paw and tempest flurry. Then I looked at combat frenzy and just.. having constant darth maul buff (I don't know what it is called) was insane

[inland sentinel]

Do them as they come but also #2┃after-acts-help

Use this for when you finished the campaign

[uncut wharf]

I have a premium tab but I can’t see any of my items on the market why is this?

[inland sentinel]

It’s a known issue

[uncut wharf]

Ughhh cool

cheers

[tulip heron]

whats the best stash tab to purchase?

[uncut wharf]

Is there any known work arounds?

[outer rivet]

opinions on a lightning spell demonform witch? Im loving essence drain and curses but my boss damage feels pretty bad..

[inland sentinel]

Not that I know of, it looks like it’s been a problem for a long time

[inland sentinel]

You can ideally only use 1 element and have good damage

Either pour all into chaos or elemental/lightning damage

And you won’t be able to use edc because it will do no chaos damage if you go elemental

[outer rivet]

do you think it would be worth switching to a lightning damage build? I tried minions but wasnt loving the gameplay. Might wait until im a higher level to try them again

[vestal spire]

total cost was 7 exalted orbs btw, wich is almost all i have T-T

[inland sentinel]

Is there something synergistic about blood mage for lightning?

I mean, if you could find a way, but I don’t think lightning will be very useful unless you do some sort of curse stacking

And maybe use svalinn endgame

[outer rivet]

thats gucci with me, I was thinking of trying an element and seeing where that gets me. Lightning seemed good for clear times and boss fights, ice looks the funnest, and fire is most synergestic with the class i feel like (other than chaos).

If ya'll have tested the other styles out let me know what you think

[outer rivet]

I picked infernalist.. not sure actually. I kind of wish i picked bloodmage though, looked cool

[inland sentinel]

Yeah you can’t change your ascendancy once you pick it

[hard cypress]

Aaaaaah. Isn't mana an issue with such high levels ? I've like invested nothing into mana nodes since it was never an issue. Now I have to gobble the pots all the time and the amount I get is so slow lol

[outer rivet]

OH sorry i dont think I mentioned, i meant a full build swap from chaos

[inland sentinel]

And doing something different on Infernalist, it seems like you can only go fire based or minions to have balanced damage

Or some shenanigans like cast on shock with infinite casting projectiles

And ignite on hit or something crazy

[vestal spire]

i always have mana issues >.>

[outer rivet]

damn thats fair. The fire spells dont look that strong but maybe ill look at converting there. I just love the demonform caster gameplay

[hard cypress]

For mana passive nodes which say "increased amount of mana leeched".. I need to have some form of leeching for it to even matter ?

[inland sentinel]

Yes or just be able to leech

Any skill that “hits” can leech

[hard cypress]

Any recommendation for passive skills to help with mana issue ? Just take more mana regen nodes ?

[inland sentinel]

Mana on hit/kill

gain flask charges per # second

Or mana leech if you have some form of leech

[brave scarab]

New to PoE! Trying to decide between witch and ranger as a new player learning the game, would also like to play on controller as much as possible! Can someone advise which of these two is the better class for me?

[hard cypress]

My main issue is just how slow my mana gets filled up when I use pots. The mana pots I found have been kinda trash though

[inland sentinel]

What do you like about both classes?

Classic archer build or casting spells or summoning minions

[tulip heron]

what stash tabs from the shop should i prioritse in purchasing?

[inland sentinel]

It’s a little convoluted but try buying like rings that have mana gained on kill/hit

[brave scarab]

I watched some game play on YT, infernalist minion builds, and lightning deadeye, both look fun to me. I'm very open to different playstyles, as long as it has good impact I'm usually good to go.

[inland sentinel]

Yeah try any of them

Can recommend minion Infernalist for an easy time leveling

Lightning imo is a little more positional based

You have to know how to kite

[brave scarab]

deadeye seems more fun than firewallspamming minion tbh. But I also want to play on a game pad as much as possible and I think the infernalist will be better for it

[patent rain]

Can anyone help me with a boss on act 1 made a monk and can’t kill this guy 😂😂

[brave scarab]

I love kiting on mouse and keyboard though lol

[coarse elk]

Which level / part of the game
You start losing 10% EXP on Dying?

[stray zephyr]

what the hell are these I just got them

[lament stone]

When you finish the campaign

[late beacon]

Do they know that meditate and eternal youth keystone don't work?

[lament stone]

Intended interaction

[craggy gyro]

Which is the best stash tab other than currency stash tab? Thank you

[tribal barn]

the premium one so you can sell gear also the 4x stash tabs

also gem

[inner halo]

How can I see like, how much the different orbs are worth relative to eachother?
I don't think I have the currency exchange unlocked yet

[tribal barn]

you unlock it once you get to cruel mode

[late beacon]

So the life flask just becomes irrelevant when u use meditate as ci?! Don't think that's intended. Or they should refrase the naming

[inner halo]

is there a way to see the ratios before that, for trading purposes?

[lament stone]

Yea

[craggy gyro]

Im pretty new sorry if the question is dumb, which one tho? I see like 3/4 diff premiums stash tabs, upgrade to premium, premium quad, premium stash tab or premium stash tab bundle?

[tribal barn]

no dont trust the prices on the trade side

[tribal barn]

the ugrade will upgrade a current tab to premium the premuim quad is a 4x size tab with premium functions and the bundle i dont remember what all comes with that

[lament stone]

I'm pretty sure zealots oath still exists, which would apply life regen to energy shield to make up for not having recharge

[haughty niche]

CI sets your life to 1. energyshield isnt life, so its aptly named. It does feel weird that the slot becomes useless, but it would also be even more busted if it made your life flask work for es.

[gritty ivy]

I can't tell if I'm just playing bad or did something wrong with my character

[craggy gyro]

So which one should i get? The premium quad? Thanks for your help btw

[dusky burrow]

same thing happens for mana flask when you take blood magic

[tribal barn]

you could take eternal youth for that

[ebon moss]

you need at least one premium tab to list items on the trade site. the quad is four them stuffed into one. it's nice for individually pricing items or if you have a lot of items you all want the same price. if you want to instead have multiple tabs with everything priced the same per tab, you could get multiple individual premium.

[lament stone]

Yes, and eternal youth disables es recharge, basically you have to decide which downside you prefer or could even take advantage of

[marble pine]

prob a dumb question, but how do I donate coins to my guild?\

[sour pebble]

dont think u can at the moment

the UI has a button for it, but it doesn't seem to work

[ebon moss]

can also try to log into the poe website and check here https://www.pathofexile.com/my-guild/poe2/guild-transactions i don't know if you can for poe2 yet, though

[sour pebble]

the way they intend you to do it is here though:

[craggy gyro]

Appreciate it

[sour pebble]

in the cosmetics menu

oh wait it worked just now wtf

it wasn't working for me like 3 days ago

[viscid jasper]

looking at a guide it says:
Make sure to update your support gems as they are in the skills display!

what do they mean by this

[eager lava]

Hello people I have a question.Can staggering palm carry into end game for monk I want to make a build around it.

[fallow marten]

struggling with act 2 as monk if someone can help

[zinc sparrow]

When you look at the guide you should be able to scroll your skills and see how they update the support gems as you progress through the game

[scarlet falcon]

anyone knows what happens when you run both brotherhood rings, one converts cold to lightning and the other converts lightning to cold

[viscid jasper]

thank you!!!

[hard cypress]

They keep converting and you will become Thor after a bit

Apologies if that was not helpful

[normal ibex]

ummmm hammerdin!

[hard cypress]

You can ask build questions here or maybe try for co op help in #2┃looking-for-group

[latent tree]

Does lucky hit works for effects or only for rolling min/maxdamage?

[dusky burrow]

only min/max damage

[sour pebble]

what effect?

like if u mean shock then it would help make bigger shocks, for example

[dusky burrow]

for effects, it will specify "Critical Strike Chance is Lucky" (or whatever the wording is)

[haughty niche]

If you had 50 flat lightning and 100 cold damage, it would become 50 flat cold and 100 flat lightning.

These would then only scale with %increaseds of the resulting damage type. So the original cold dam would be scaling with %increased lightning and vice versa

[scarlet falcon]

also 122% of Lightning Damage Converted to Cold Damage what does this mean?

[haughty niche]

That would be normalized down to 100%

[sour pebble]

it's actually pretty complicated how it works lol

skill gem conversion takes priority over other sources

and the normalization process gets complicated from that

[haughty niche]

Its DIFFERENT between games too which is the most confusing part for me lol

[sour pebble]

like if you have 50% of phys converted to lightning from a gem and 100% of phys converted to cold from gear, then you might expect to end up with 33% lightning and 66% cold base damage, but i think it actually would be 50% lightning and 50% cold...

[tepid storm]

Any sorceress leveling builds?

[eager lava]

Any staggering palm advice

[scarlet magnet]

i would recommend bone storm or detonate dead

[haughty niche]

Yrp, check maxroll.gg

[scarlet magnet]

i found bone storm to be easier in early game cause upon ascending you want to have a high crit chance early to benefit from your passive ascendancy node

and since bone spells start with 15% base crit its easier to get that up earlier

[lament stone]

sorc doesnt have any crit nodes

[scarlet magnet]

???

[lament stone]

stormweaver/chronomancer

no crit nodes on either ascendancy

[scarlet magnet]

i got confused my bad dude

[minor nova]

is this worth using or no

[scarlet magnet]

was speaking about witch

[lament stone]

if you can do it? yes you can double your ex orbs

[eager lava]

just trying to figure out if this skill is good enough

[haughty niche]

#2┃after-acts-help only if you think you can do it

[minor nova]

ohhhh thats how that works

[sour pebble]

sorc does have crit nodes though

[minor nova]

idk why i thought it meant it would just double the end of trial rewards

[sour pebble]

stormweaver does...

[minor nova]

thank you

[alpine silo]

this was the last frame before my game crashed 💀

[lament stone]

oh the small nodes

[sour pebble]

yeah 2 small nodes

althrough rain dancer is shit 😄

[lament stone]

but those are basically the same as the crit nodes you can find on the tree

[scarlet magnet]

look up a build guy, i got confused and thought you said witch

I’m level 17, I’m pretty good stuffed and got 51% cold resistant but still can’t go far than half life of his wolf transmutation
Any tips please 🙏🏻
Thank you

Omg he is turning me crazy 😂

[wooden lava]

he announces his attacks, so use the dodge key

[granite sequoia]

does anyone know if you are on your 2nd character, do you still have to do the map completions for Doryani?

[haughty niche]

Dont think do

I assume its like poe1 where its shared progress witbin a league

[haughty niche]

Check in #2┃after-acts-help

What are the most important stash upgrades to buy? I don't know what to do with my 300 gold (dont care about skins)

[haughty niche]

Currency and 1 premium upgrade

[azure lava]

currency tab and a premium upgrade are the go-tos

I'd wait for a sale unless you're desperate

[haughty niche]

Gem is alright for uncuts

[normal ibex]

sale is on now

[supple kite]

everything is already on sale rn

[haughty niche]

I think someone said they stsrted sale 1 week early compared to usual

[granite sequoia]

YAY Stash tab sale

[normal ibex]

i have currency, gem, quad and a 6pack of basics

[supple kite]

only one premium?

[haughty niche]

You canget more

Its just 1 is needed to sell things easier

[vast nexus]

if i'd want to go from the clearfell encampent to the grellwood, i'd have to go trough clearfell first right? like there isn't any kind of fast travel to there right (srry new played and never played poe1 either

[haughty niche]

I think grelwood has a waypoint

[supple kite]

theres nothing for skill gems right?

[haughty niche]

There is a gem tab, but its only useful for uncuts

[normal ibex]

skill gems are sorted into levels

other than that no

[haughty niche]

For non-uncut you generally wont be saving them

[normal ibex]

i'm saving them for now, since well uncut are still rare enough, also, i like experimenting

[supple kite]

yeah I mean

[coral marlin]

yo im getting hella poe currency rmt ads on youtube, anyone got a working adblocker for me?

[charred pelican]

fuck your servers idiots GGG !!!!!!!!!!!!! lag for 3 time fail sekhemas !!!!!!!!!!!!

[sudden zealot]

do you have to fight the trial master to get the 4th ascend from the chaos trial?

[lunar cedar]

Breach is best league mechanic right now right? What's second best?

[azure lava]

#2┃after-acts-help

[lunar cedar]

excuse me

[normal ibex]

maybe get a better wifi router? latency has nothing to do with servers btw

your rage is incorrectly aimed

[charred pelican]

800-1000 MS UP idiot

for death 3 time

[supple kite]

I mean

skill issue

just open your window to let the internet in

[normal ibex]

again, bandwidth and latency are unrelated, maybe you should learn networking?

[haughty niche]

Or try a different gateway

Im canadian and use washington just cause its more stable

[severe fox]

can I buy 1 uncut spirit gem lvl 12 or lower from anyone? poe trade sellers won't respond to those sales

[supple kite]

Do i need delirium or essense stash?

[outer rivet]

multiple options to improve, first if your on wifi, try using ethernet. More stable connection, secondly its likely that your network isnt great, stop downloads or uneeded additional traffic on the network (streaming services are big ones, same with other devices performing downloads)

[supple kite]

Im on act 3 cruel

[charred pelican]

I havent net porblem high download and upload normal map havent MS but enter sekhemas after start HİGH MS

[azure lava]

this game is very CPU-intensive and when there are a bunch of client-side calculations that need to be made, it makes your client wait to send that data up to the server. This can make a CPU bottleneck appear to be a latency/ping-related issue when it isn't. I'd try closing internet browser windows and anything else that isn't necessary

[hasty heart]

I found another issue with my witch... If I'm ever more than 1-2 screen distances from other random pubs, they will disconnect.

[haughty niche]

Using the full f1 menu can help you diagnose it better

[charred pelican]

amk evlatları sanki babalarının oyunu gibi suçlu benmişim gibi savunuyor

[outer rivet]

definitely not the server tbh, but i understand the frustration lol

[azure cobalt]

im act 3 normal looking for help in the trials of chaos

[haughty niche]

Better look out, dude just hexed you or some shit

[hasty heart]

I called it the Eternal Curse of wicked rubber bands ~ but it really does DC the whole group if I'm at an opposite part of a zone

[outer rivet]

-33% chaos resistance

[normal ibex]

again, up/down speeds are entirely unrelated to any latency issues, latency appears almost anywhere really, any one of the hops between your PC and the server

[azure cobalt]

that is some bad juju

[haughty niche]

The only gateway i can confidently say it probably wasnt your fault on is Frankfurt. Too many people have issues with that one

[whole elm]

Can someone help me with the 2nd trial?

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[normal ibex]

more than half the time amsterdam is better ping than london for me

[azure cobalt]

i also need this maybe we can help each other

[grim hemlock]

I'm trying to figure out whether the DPS is doubled or not with a dualstring bow

how does these work for example. The left damage numbers are from the left bow

is it technically 2x because it shoots twice?

[azure lava]

unless a skill says otherwise, an enemy cannot be hit by multiple projectiles fired at the same time from the same source

[grim hemlock]

so this is just bet ter AoE?

[azure lava]

but lightning arrow has beams that chain off of stuff, so if you have something else to hit, it will grant you more damage to a single target as well

[fallow marten]

can someone help me kill an act 2 bpss

[azure lava]

if you just hit a single enemy, then the dualstring bow is useless, but if you hit two enemies, then you kinda do double damage to each enemy

[fallow marten]

boss*

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[grim hemlock]

so chaining works on multiple enemies and doubles the damage

and I can just swap on bosses

[azure lava]

if there are exactly two enemies, it might double it, sure

personally, I'm a fan of not using lightning arrow at all and just going orb of storms + lightning rod for bosses

[grim hemlock]

oh shit that's a very specific condition

[azure lava]

if there are lots of enemies, you'll generally do more damage to all of them

[blissful onyx]

I'm interested in the "Exile's stash bundle" in the store, but due to the current sales on stash tabs the bundle now costs more than its components individually. Is this supposed to be the case?

[grim hemlock]

now that's a better condition

[azure lava]

And if you have a dualstring, it lets you use overabundance on orb of storms

[narrow garnet]

hey guys Accidentaly i hit "Force Unlist" on my item, and i'm unable to relist it back. Any idea on how to fix it?

[azure lava]

for insane single target dps

[grim hemlock]

oh that's true

I heard some people just don't prefer lightning arrow at all either

[azure lava]

I never used lightning arrow during the campaign

orb + rod was superior in every way imo

[modest drift]

Is starting out as a Sorceress a bad idea?

[grim hemlock]

I feel like it works during generic mapping areas

[azure lava]

no, all classes have good and bad starter builds

[modest drift]

I don't doubt that, I do however wonder the longevity for picking Sorceress first, only because I saw some chatter in game about how expensive it is end game

[azure lava]

I like using two lightning rods - one with magnified effect and lightning infusion for clearing and one with conc effect + martial tempo for bosses

[grim hemlock]

wait what

2 lightning rods?

[azure lava]

There are dozens upon dozens of build types for each class. There is no such thing as a "sorceress" build

[grim hemlock]

you can do that?

[azure lava]

yeah, you're only limited to one of each support

you can use as many copies of skill gems as you want

[grim hemlock]

WAT

nobody told me this

wait

no

no

wait

[azure lava]

nobody told you you couldn't either (:

[grim hemlock]

do you mean you swap support gems?

[azure lava]

no

cut two lightning rods

and socket them at the same time

[grim hemlock]

oh my

[azure lava]

you might have to unsocket the first one and/or disable gemcutting restrictions in the options first

[grim hemlock]

so you just throw the first lightning rod to clear?

[vast nexus]

is it worth it for me to pickup weapons/armor that's not good for my class? like can i sell it or something or should i just leave it

[grim hemlock]

with orb or storms and/or voltaic?

[azure lava]

in the campaign I'd recommend picking up everything except for normal (white) items that have no sockets, no quality, take up more than 2 inventory slots, and aren't possible upgrades

and sell all that shit for gold

and salvage the salvageable stuff, ofc

[azure lava]

no, you throw down 1-2 orbs, then spam lightning rods

[grim hemlock]

I see

but again I like the visuals of lightningarrow

I'll try your way too

[proud socket]

Hoa, quick question, i have levelled 2 different characters, now im on my third,
in the apex of filth sacrificial alter part - the alter did not spawn at all - i reset the map and it still did not spawn nor did the heart drop
Is there a particular reason for this bug?

[azure lava]

every time you use a lightning skill while standing near your orb of storms, it shoots out an extra chaining beam.
That beam can activate rods in the ground
With chain support and high enough level, orb of storms will chain 10 times per beam.
So basically whenever you shoot a lightning rod with two orbs out and a dualstring bow, you get up to 22 lightning rod hits per shot

[azure lava]

the altar is in agorrat (the past), not apex of filth

[proud socket]

yes, i am aware

[azure lava]

your message made it sound like you were expecting the altar to appear in the apex of filth, sorry

[proud socket]

ive ran through the map twice and it did not spawn

[lapis loom]

hey guys, if i have 100% energy shield recharge delay modifier, it means its half, so 2 second?

[azure lava]

and this is the agorrat map?

[grim hemlock]

thanksies

[azure lava]

depends on the exact wording. Is it 100% reduced energy shield recharge delay?

[proud socket]

oh no you are right, i am dumb, appologies, its very late here

thanks!

[lapis loom]

i mean in character screen

i have 120%, but not sure how to count it

[azure lava]

I'd hold alt and click on the underlined phrase to be sure

[lapis loom]

i know base start is 4s

[azure lava]

typically, the stat is "faster start of energy shield recharge"

[lapis loom]

it doesnt say much

but i dont know what +120% means

[azure lava]

which means that yeah, 100% faster start = starts in half the time

[lapis loom]

ah, okay, then its what i thought

[azure lava]

so I'd wager it will start in 4 x (100/(100+120)) seconds

or about 1.82 s

[lapis loom]

cool!

[misty junco]

Anyone have a good monk or sorc build

[lapis loom]

i also noticed, that after taking the passive that transfers all my energy shield into mana, it doesnt transfer energy shield that i gained by this legendary

is that a bug or intended?

[dusky burrow]

intended

the conversion happens at the same time

[lapis loom]

ah, okay

[whole ivy]

peps how did you deal with that wolf in act one that mist attack is just too hardcore second time

[dusky burrow]

so by the time the life is converted to energy shield, the previous energy shield has already been converted and the post-conversion energy shield isn't affected

[lapis loom]

now i have both enerrgy shield and mana bonus, and with passive that takes damage from mana before health, my damage is energy shield > mana > hp

[azure lava]

stand at the edge of the clear part and run in a circle along the circumference, he will never hit you (you may need 10% movement speed boots for this to work, but I doubt it)

[deft kraken]

dude that part had me stuck for almost a full day

[haughty niche]

He says a poem, at the end of each line he will attack after a brief pause

[lapis loom]

also noticed that the amount of conversion is not affected by +energy shield passive bonuses, which makes the transfer passive less than impressive

[azure lava]

he always lunges from the farthest point from you in the arena

[lapis loom]

I loose 3k of energy shield and gain like 300 mana instead

[deft kraken]

the hardest part is not getting body blocked by the swarm of wolves

[azure lava]

true

[haughty niche]

Conversion in poe2 only uses the resulting stat's %increased

[azure lava]

all your global %es nodes on the tree and stuff won't give you extra mana from eldritch battery

when you convert ES to mana, it forgets it was ever energy shield and doesn't get affected by those increases anymore

[lapis loom]

damn, too bad xD

not worth it for now then, i didnt finish cruel yet

[whole ivy]

the issue is that when I dodge the blood wolfs I cant dodge him

and they booth kill me easily

[deft kraken]

just run dont even dodge them

and loop around the outside of the ring

[azure lava]

deal with the immediate mobs and then start running when he starts reciting poetry

[whole ivy]

if I do that I just die 😄

I am minion witch

[deft kraken]

wind blast with monk helped a bit but not much

[heavy stirrup]

Do white items always have to same stats? So for example a lvl 55 white dualstring bow will always have the same stats?

[dusky burrow]

for the most part, yeah

there's quality and sockets

and corruption enchantments

but the base damage, attack speed, etc. is always going to be the same

[heavy stirrup]

Thanks! @dusky burrow

[haughty niche]

for example these bases will always be the same. Some have stat ranges even on the base, like the warden bow

https://poe2db.tw/us/Bows#BowsItem

[azure lava]

it looks like you're actively trying to avoid getting life on your gear. 138 life by the end of act 1 is abysmally low

also make sure your life flask is up to date with two good mods

[merry berry]

GET FADED JAMANRA

[gloomy scroll]

Hey i have problem with act 2.2 quest Ascent to Power
i cleared 100% of this map, killed boss and nothing happened

[merry berry]

😤😤😤

[gloomy scroll]

quest is still uncompleted

[merry berry]

Stupid electricity Lich

[azure lava]

movement speed, life, and resistances are your three main priorities for gearing in the campaign@whole ivy

[haughty niche]

Its bugged in cruel

Not supposed to show up

[heavy stirrup]

Thanks for the clear awnser and image!

[azure lava]

it's bugged and isn't supposed to be in cruel at all. ignore it, you're not missing anything

[gloomy scroll]

oh, but wasnt it quest to ascendancy?

[whole ivy]

I dont think so

[merry berry]

It’s from a random drop instead

[haughty niche]

Not for cruel.

[azure lava]

in normal mode, yes, but that's not how you ascend beyond normal mode

[gloomy scroll]

oh

so last 2 ascendancy are in act 3.3?

[haughty niche]

Cruel only exists because acts 4-6 arent done yet

[azure lava]

most likely you won't ascend for your third time until after the campaign, then the fourth one is much later

[gloomy scroll]

so in atlas are last 2 acendancy?

[haughty niche]

The 3rd and 4th ascendency trials are random drops you csn expect to do starting sometime after you finish campaign

Streamers did 4th around lvl 90

[quaint dock]

this game hate me so much...

[azure lava]

this is your fault

[quaint dock]

its random bro, i didnt see thats coming

[glacial palm]

Heyas, just tried something and wanted to share in case this came up for you.
For me, the behavior you were describing happens... but only with basic spells (eg. Chaos Bolt, Frozen Shards)
Are you seeing it with every spell, or just those?

[haughty niche]

Those infinite affliction ones really need to be major afflictions

[azure lava]

so you picked a path that you knew would shoehorn you into a choice you couldn't avoid?
