[cursive bluff]

I'm in act 3 cruel and seeing stacks of over 1j

What's your question? What are you needing help with?

[modest thicket]

Can I get uniques from gambling vendor?

[fresh rivet]

in the 3rd champer of the trial

[modest thicket]

That’s my main thing rn is I gotta lower my life points

[fresh rivet]

its just so annoying

[modest thicket]

Fr

[fresh rivet]

cause u cant even potion

[cursive bluff]

Good question I'm unsure I don't think so

[fresh rivet]

while carring those stupid crystals

[lusty hinge]

having sanctum and ultimatum as trials was a very weird, stupid and bad decision overall

[modest thicket]

Ye that’s kinda my issue rn haha

I need at least one Ming’s to stay in demon form rn

[lusty hinge]

yes you can

but why

just buy the damn uniques you want from the website

[hybrid star]

do you have Ghostwrithe?

[cursive bluff]

This is a channel for helping others if you're not asking for help/advice please take the rant to a generic channel you're pushing people's questions above so we can't help them

[modest thicket]

I need the exalted orbs lmao

[modest thicket]

Ye

But my regen is kinda bleh atm

[lusty hinge]

it's like 1

[modest thicket]

I have 0

Lmao

Bc I just got my ghostwrithe

[daring dragon]

You probably can make more ex by looking up a video about which items are good bases and then selling those.

[modest thicket]

Is it easier for selling if get the stash tab thingy?

[cursive bluff]

Or could ask if someone is willing to trade you an ex for some shards/other currency

[daring dragon]

Stuff like heavy belt, gold amulet/ring, sapphire ring etc

[daring dragon]

Way easier

[modest thicket]

I’ve traded off site a few times but never put up any of my stuff

[lusty hinge]

Depends on what lvl he is

[cursive bluff]

You can't sell easily if you don't have a premium

[modest thicket]

46

I just got that rose staff recently

[lusty hinge]

Wow, you are very unlucky xD

[modest thicket]

Wait why lmao

[lusty hinge]

Well you said you have no exalts

[modest thicket]

Well I traded them

[cursive bluff]

I have none either haha I'm forever using them

[lament stone]

you shouldnt need to trade at all during the campaign

[modest thicket]

I got ghostwrithe, new amulet, some boots

[cursive bluff]

Even with 50+ rarity and a rarity charm I'm lucky if I find regal shards let alone ex haha

[modest thicket]

See I have tons of regal shards

[lusty hinge]

Oof

[modest thicket]

I even have 5-6 chaos orbs

But exalts be a bitch

Lmao

[light trout]

Hi guys this is the first time I've dying so fast and having hard time in a new area "Utzaal" monsters are so strong for my lvl 46 Monk. Any recommended farming spot for new gear?

[cursive bluff]

Yeah that's because geonor gave me a div which I sold for 70 ex a while ago now I've used them all on my own gear haha

[lusty hinge]

You can use currency exchange and ditch those in there, you won't need them fir a while most likely

[modest thicket]

Also I corrupted the new helmet I just got an it removed the best attribute 🫠🫠

[cursive bluff]

The highest area zone you can do

[modest thicket]

On the website you mean?

[lusty hinge]

It's an in-game feature

[modest thicket]

Oh?

[lusty hinge]

Act 4 or smth unlocks

[cursive bluff]

The Gama vendor from act 1 cruel onwards has an extra option

Gamba

[modest thicket]

What can you exchange it for?

[cursive bluff]

Currency for currency

[modest thicket]

What currency

Like just gold or

[lusty hinge]

whichever you choose

[cursive bluff]

So exalts for perfect jewlers orb or could sell a divine for a bunch of ex

[modest thicket]

Oh interesting

[lusty hinge]

except gold

[steady bone]

scrolls of wisdow best one.

[cursive bluff]

But it costs gold to request

[lusty hinge]

so that's who's been putting items for billions of wisdom scrolls in poe1

[light trout]

I tried the molten vault but it keeps giving me lvl 28, 33, to 37 gears. I've haven't gotten any lvl 40+ gear yet...

[cursive bluff]

I mean at least they get a brief use in act 1 cruel before hooded man again ahha

[lusty hinge]

well what did you expect, you want higher gear? lvl up and progress through the campaign

stopping to grind is one of the worst ways

[hybrid star]

are you looking at "item level" or "required level"?

[cursive bluff]

There's so much gear and affixes that the chances of you getting something better is gonna take a while. Go to the highest level area you can do and pick up all blues to sell for gold (use hooded man to identify them as it makes them sell for more) then use that gold to buy items from the gambling vendor or could ask in #2┃looking-for-group for a carry if you're into that

[lament stone]

its not that bad

life and elemental resists are the most important stats on your armour

other stats come after that

[cursive bluff]

Im still using a level 33 ring at 58 haha

[lament stone]

magic (2 mod) gear with just life + 1 resist is good enough to do the whole campaign

[ruby bay]

Noob question, how do you access poe 2 trade? Because mine only shows my poe 1 characters

[cursive bluff]

Unless you're a warrior haha

[meager sequoia]

so i got these at lvl 4 im lvl 8 rn i should keep using right?

[jade wadi]

will this begood for sorc spark ?

[pulsar skiff]

oh right i would love to lose the best run i've had in a while for my 4th ascen. ty for the insight, great advice.

[lament stone]

thats definitely an #2┃after-acts-help thing

[daring dragon]

Either Google for poe2 website or change the poe1 in the URL to poe2 or something like that.

[lament stone]

theyre basically a 1 mod item (movespeed) you should always be looking out for potential upgrades in every slot

[ruby bay]

Is there a link that you can direct me to the website?

[daring dragon]

No

[lament stone]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard

[mental needle]

Warrior excels in campaign

[lament stone]

its literally just adding a 2 after the word trade in the poe1 trade site url

[ruby bay]

👍thabk you🫡

[desert hedge]

it crashed again guys

[cursive bluff]

i dont know if theres a channel dedicated to tech support questions but we cant really help you much because this channels for campign focused information

[violet belfry]

is it just me or does mobs in cruel give less xp

currently in act 1 cruel at lvl 47 and im barely getting any xp

[mental needle]

You level slower the higher level you are

It grows exponentially

The xp req

[cursive bluff]

if you press tab in a map the overlay map comes up once it has look at the top right it sayd the area level of the mobs

[violet belfry]

i have never had any issue with getting decent amounts of xp before

[cursive bluff]

probs because you was always a close level for the area you're in

[valid parrot]

hey can someone help me for a boss pls ?

[cursive bluff]

#2┃looking-for-group

[mental needle]

You gain a little over 40 levels in normal campaign and more like 20 or so in cruel

[violet belfry]

red vale barely gives me any xp and its area lvl 47

[cursive bluff]

its also about the density besides the spires i always find that areas lacking for exp

[noble trench]

how does shatter conc get more support slots?

i can't use jewelers orb

[sacred mango]

why are my elemental resistances slowly going down when i keep advancing through the game?

[lament stone]

thats just how it is, it gets slower and slower to level up the higher level you get

[sacred mango]

im wearing no gear and this is my resistances ???

[lament stone]

it took over a month for more than 1 person to reach level 100

[topaz junco]

That’s supposed to happen. You get a 10% resistance penalty per completed act

[sacred mango]

AAA

[lament stone]

what act? that looks like you might have missed a perma resist upgrade

you get -10% all ele res at the end of each act

[sacred mango]

theres a resist upgrade?

[shut abyss]

+10 lightning resistance sisters of garukhan

[lament stone]

act 1 and cruel act 1 give +10 cold from a side quest
act 2 and cruel act 2 give +10 lightning from a side quest
act 3 and cruel act 3 give +10 fire from a side quest

[shut abyss]

spires of deshar is the one you're missing

[sacred mango]

oh ok

is the ones for cruel the same thing?

[lament stone]

same thing

[daring dragon]

As a Witchunter I also can't apply sockets to my sorcery ward which is a skill from the ascendancy as well. I assume it's the same in your case. You increase the amounts of sockets by getting a higher lvl weapon as far as I know.

[stark lynx]

I mean if you dont have anything better for the slot.

they are alright if you can keep up ES pool to meaningful sizes

[tacit knot]

Is there a place where we can view of all uniques and rheir prices

Listed

[pine oar]

Vendors never have upgrades for me on monk I thought they said keep checking vendors, I have probably bought 3 items off vendors and im almost level 50. What a joke that advice was, so my question is do i need rareity of loot because IDK WTF is up

[fervent arch]

You can apply sockets to sourcery ward, just very specific ones, only 3 that works atm i think

[daring dragon]

You probably mean gems

Not sockets

[daring dragon]

Just rng

[fervent arch]

its rng and the items you are looking for is not necessarily a direct upgrade, have to use crafting on it, regal it, etc..

[fervent arch]

ah, yes, my bad

but it already has all slots u need tho, right?

[pine oar]

Now I have to watch a 40 minute video on that too, RIP, I guesst I will try crafting cause IDK

[daring dragon]

In my case, yes.

[fervent arch]

There's only 3 gems that works in it iirc

[acoustic snow]

is there a skill similar to frostblink? or is there just no movement at all

[fervent arch]

just read the items and try it out, its pretty simple

[daring dragon]

There is blink

[acoustic snow]

whats it called?

[mental needle]

You don't need a 40 minute video to transmute and augment white items you can equip.

[daring dragon]

Blink

[acoustic snow]

i can only see lightning warp, but that only targets enemies

[mental needle]

Prioritize your weakest slot first and craft on those bases

[daring dragon]

Its a spirit skill

Not a regular one

[acoustic snow]

thats so shit

okay thanks

[daring dragon]

It's an insanely powerful skill so it needs to be somewhat harder to achieve.

Costs 60 Spirit btw

[foggy osprey]

I lowkey need help with the a2 end boss, abomination jamanra

[daring dragon]

Also ask here #2┃looking-for-group

[acoustic snow]

yeah i dont got that much spirit on level 65, only got 100 something

[foggy osprey]

alright thank you

i'm running an invoker monk tempest flurry build atm and the dps is actually insane atm

i'm just finding it to be quite difficult to sustain my mana cause i burn through it real quick

[lusty hinge]

Get mana on your gear

[fervent arch]

or downlevel your skills

[foggy osprey]

yeah thats my priority rn

[steady bone]

mana remnants

[slim crow]

can you do that?

[fervent arch]

make a new one with a lower level skill gem

and you have less dmg but also less mana cost

if you already have insane dmg but cant sustain, might be reasonable to do

[slim crow]

fair enough yeah

[lament lava]

Unfortunately the mobs the feel overtuned a bit, especially with physical damage.
I was stacking full armour as a warrior, and they still take 2-3 hits to kill me. There aren't any other zones like that tbf.

Few things:

• Try to max your resistances (75% each, apart from chaos as its much harder).
• Life (or energy shield) on all pieces of gear.
• Evasion / armour helps. The higher the better.
• Also check the map to see if you have any power-ups from bosses that you haven't killed yet.

For farming spots, just go to the highest ilvl zone you can clear and farm there - you can also check all vendors frequently for good crafting items or try crafting upgrades yourself.

[vast nexus]

Does this boost skeletonal arsonists dmg?

[topaz junco]

No

[lament stone]

if it does not say "minions" or "allies" it does not apply to minions

[vast nexus]

alr, ty

[tacit knot]

L

[tacit knot]

I see rhe kalandra but also the death are u locked out of a kalandra?

[fervent arch]

did u just rip that from reddit?

lol he did

unless that's him, fat chance tho

[tacit knot]

Hmm haha

Guys could someone answer this

Are rhese all the movement penalties gear cna give you

And so also full ES chest will give u -3%

[fervent arch]

yes, specific item bases yield different movement speed penalites

[tacit knot]

Yea but is this rhe full lisr or are there more?

[fervent arch]

no one uses full armor gear anyways and i dont think full ES and evasion gear does

[tacit knot]

So basically going chestless would make u faster lol

[chrome beacon]

anyone help with act3 pls

[fervent arch]

there's more item bases than that which gives movement penalty

[vast nexus]

is there anything i should do to prepare for trail of sekhema's

[tacit knot]

Docu know where to find the full lisr

[fervent arch]

@vast nexus which one, 1, 2, 3 or 4th?

[fervent arch]

dont know if one exists

[mental needle]

Poe2db has all base types

[vast nexus]

didn't even know there are multiple so first

[fervent arch]

there's one for each ascendancy, number of traisl

it its your 1 or 2nd, then not much prep necessary

3rd and 4th you might wanna farm max honour + honour resist relics

[vast nexus]

alr ty

[dark talon]

What's a restart patch according to #old-game-news ?

[fervent arch]

just restarting servers

as in turning them off and on again

[vernal finch]

Is there any way to generate power charges without using a quarter staff?

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[azure lava]

It explains it in the channel further down

[eager lava]

Broooo How do I play this game

[azure lava]

Yes

[fervent arch]

buy it on steam

[vernal finch]

I'm trying to make a bonestorm build, but this is my first time playing poe and I can't figure out a way as witch to generate power charges

[dark talon]

Aah missed it, sorry panicked 🙂

[azure lava]

Lingering illusion, resonance + any frenzy generator, weapon swap to killing palm

[eager lava]

I mean like how do I play it I don’t understand this system of how to get stronger

[fervent arch]

in what way? How stats work or?

[vernal finch]

When I type in frenzy, I see 0 skills that give frenzy charges lol sorry I'm really new to this

[tacit knot]

Where exactly

[eager lava]

Yea and how to build something that I like

[azure lava]

Look at "all gems" in the lower left. Snipers mark is one. Combat frenzy is another, but it's a spirit gem, not a skill gem

[vernal finch]

Oh they are support gems not skill gems?

[fervent arch]

try different stuff and look up guides i guess

[mental needle]

https://poe2db.tw/us/

[fervent arch]

try to copy someone elses build and that might give u a better understanding of the game throughout that process

[azure lava]

Snipers mark is a skill gem, combat frenzy is a spirit gem. Same with lingering illusion. None of them are support gems

[eager lava]

They mostly just tell me to use their op build and everything will take care of itself

[mental needle]

Do marks work the same as curses with the delay?

[azure lava]

I'd try out different skills and see what feels fun to use without even fighting anything. Then build around it and try to scale it with the tree, support gems, and gear

[azure lava]

No

No delay for marks

[fervent arch]

its a hard game to learn, well atleast in comparison to other ARPGS, making your own build requires plenty of game knowledge

[mental needle]

God bless

[eager lava]

I see

[naive moth]

Btw, how do you generate endurance charges?

[azure lava]

Also, hold alt and click on keywords. Knowledge is power and reading is the key to knowledge

[fervent arch]

the hardest part of the game is legitimately the acts though, once you have a decent build the game gets alot easier

[azure lava]

There's a support gem that gives you an endurance charge on stun, I think

Or generate power charges with resonance

[craggy gyro]

Good morning exiles!

[mental needle]

There are some nodes on the passive tree that are quite good and a support gem. Endurance charges are basically useless right now though unless you convert them into something else

[azure lava]

Nah, that one spirit gem gives you loads of defense if you can maintain endurance charges

[naive moth]

Well there is always that one armour that gives health on consuming one

Also that

[craggy gyro]

70-80% of the gameplay is this in POE2 while its is 95% on POE1

[fervent arch]

70-80% is making your own build, or what do you mean?

[craggy gyro]

70-80% is knowledge based, interaction between skills and supports, knowing good stats in gear and etc. @fervent arch

[fervent arch]

oooh, yeah, defo

poe 2 is definetly less of a beast when it comes to knowledge, better at teaching you atleast

[azure lava]

Yeah poe1 having at least twice as many gems is quite daunting

[mental needle]

I wouldn't say charge infusion gives you loads of defenses, it pales compared to scav plate or wind dancer or grim feast. Sure it applies for hybrid but even then it's more demanding on everything but number of sockets required.

[craggy gyro]

Its because one shot exist in the game and dodge is a mechanic

[fervent arch]

well poe 2 will have more than double the amount of gems we have now, probably

[azure lava]

Hopefully

[eager lava]

Morning 👁️👅👁️

[craggy gyro]

I agree, if you consider to weapon types, skills specific to class and support as well

[craggy gyro]

Come around and listen

[azure lava]

Do we know what the movement speed penalty is for moving while using a skill?

[mental needle]

I haven't seen it listed anywhere, feels like 70-80 to me though

[naive moth]

My source is nonexistent, but I feel like I saw 50% somewhere? Doesn't feel like it though

[craggy gyro]

I think melee (shield users) must have parry as a mechanic. What do you guys think?

[azure lava]

They can already raise their shield tho

[mental needle]

Active block is enough

[azure lava]

Also that's not a topic for this channel

[dark talon]

What is "stat stacking"?

[azure lava]

Stacking attributes for a specific purpose. Pillar of the caged God is one example

[dark talon]

But attributes don't contribute to damage, so what benefit does it have outside of mana, health, or accuracy?

[craggy gyro]

I think they should implement perfect dodges and parry that will give boons for a couple of seconds

[dark talon]

That would make melees a little easier in the campaign I love that idea.

[azure lava]

Certain items grant more benefits to attributes. That staff gives you attack speed based on dex, melee damage based on strength, and area of effect based on int

[craggy gyro]

This mainly for bossing anyways

[vestal spire]

What is the use of lever req on wep and gear?
Does higher leve give higher modifiers?
Or the only difference is the skill level?
How does it work?

[dark talon]

Ah I see

[dark talon]

Yeah but melee on bosses in the campaign is hard if you live off the land and not buy stuff with exalts.
At least for me.

[craggy gyro]

Imagine a perfect dodge or parry with a little time slow just enough for you to dodge a one shot plus a boost in health and attack speed.

[azure lava]

Required level is the higher of:
A. The highest level required for a mod on the item
B. The level requirement of the base item

Item bases have better stats the higher their level requirement is (ie, a normal pure armor helmet that requires level 50 will have higher base armor than one that requires level 30)

[craggy gyro]

Higher level items provides higher tiers of mods

[mental needle]

They can, they don't always

[azure lava]

They CAN provide higher tiers of mods

[craggy gyro]

I find the present dodge lame

[vestal spire]

So generally speaking is staff lvl 36 is most likely much weaker thana lvl 58 staff?

[vernal finch]

When using bleed, does armor on enemies negate that damage or does it bypass armor like in other games?

[craggy gyro]

Yes because level 58 staff can (but not guaranteed) high stats

[craggy gyro]

bypass

[vernal finch]

thank you

[mental needle]

It mitigates the hit damage that caused the bleed which can weaken the bleed, but it doesn't mitigate the bleed DoT itself.

[azure lava]

Depends on the mods. I would basically ignore the level requirement and only look at the dps value and the mods on it

[vernal finch]

thank you, this bleed text is a novel and quite confusing for me lol

[vestal spire]

So overall when i'm searching for staffs on the trade sites
It would be better to put the max lvl req but not the lower in order not to limit myself

[mental needle]

It may also help to read armour

[azure lava]

How do you interpret the part of the bleed novella that mentions things that increase enemy damage taken?

[mental needle]

My understanding is that shock or something like that actually increases the DoT damage but not the hit damage.

[azure lava]

Because I, for the life of me, cannot figure out what increased damage taken (eg, shock) would do for bleeds

[mental needle]

Which seems weird, but from all I've looked at seems correct

[azure lava]

I see

Seems backwards to me lol

[vestal spire]

Another question, in act 3 normal i had 75% fire resis and 60%+ in the other plus 28% chaos resis
Now in act 3 cruel i only have 28% fire resis and all other resis are lower even tho i still have the same gear, why?👀

[velvet edge]

played multiple classes to 90+, but im struggling with single target on Sorc, im using full twink gear, does it just suck ass until i get curses?

Like conductivity

[azure lava]

You lose 10% ele res every time you finish an act

[velvet edge]

think thats a buff, but yeah, buffs and curses

[vestal spire]

Is there a reason why? 😂

[azure lava]

Use lightning rod + orb of storms. Carried me though the campaign on my first run

[lament stone]

it might just be the skills youre using

[azure lava]

Because the devs designed it that way. It's a gear check, basically

[lament stone]

something like spark is very bad for single target before you get archmage

[slate surge]

There is a new bug in sekhema can't enter 3 floor says terrain generator for client is out of sync

[azure lava]

Same reason that monsters gain more life and do more damage as you progress

[velvet edge]

using orb but not rod atm

ill try it out

[mental needle]

I'm cooking up some lightning rod tech with a tempest bell weapon swap (for levelling only)

[vestal spire]

Sadge, well okay thankss

[azure lava]

That sounds juicy

[glacial palm]

One of the clear design principles in this game is the the devs will force you to build defensively.
Imagine if you went through campaign cruising along, and suddenly every white name was one shotting you 😅

It eases you in.

[mental needle]

Not new, but it can't be fixed. You need a fresh trial sadly

[azure lava]

Orb of storms + chain + persistence (and/or overabundance if you have a dualstring bow)

Lightning rod + magnified effect + lightning infusion for clearing

Lightning rod + concentrated effect + martial tempo for single target

[vestal spire]

Welp yea so instead of my 15 lightning resist gloves now i need around 40% lol

[azure lava]

Put orb down, stand in orb, spam rod

[slate surge]

WHat if it happens again at 3 floor?

[azure lava]

I recommend wind dancer and Herald of thunder for spirit gems

[mental needle]

Then you cry

[velvet edge]

Im not using a bow for leveling on sorc

[lament stone]

funny herald of thunder + herald of ice tech for clearing

[azure lava]

Your loss

Lightning rod + orb of storms with Herald tech is bonkers

[glacial palm]

Sadly, missing a few acts worth of upgrades will do that.
Luckily, the gear you can get/make now is much better 👍

[slate surge]

They fixed demon form bug in sekhema I thought finally I can do this, now this happens

[mental needle]

Herald of thunder feels useless to me in early campaign

Ice is the only one that always feels good

[azure lava]

It kinda is, at least for rod. But the real benefit is pairing it with Herald of ice.

Ice + conduction + lightning infusion

Thunder + glaciation + cold infusion

They proc each other

[mental needle]

Yeah I know

That's why I say early campaign

[azure lava]

Ah, yeah. The extra projectile stuff on Herald of thunder isn't super strong

[mental needle]

I just put on arctic armour

To deal with the ogham manor mobs lol

[azure lava]

That one also slaps if you have the int. I like wind dancer more, I think

[mental needle]

Wind dancer good I just had little evasion on my gear

[lost bramble]

how bad is this 😭

[lament stone]

i put pin stuff on my wind dancer

[mental needle]

Very

[glacial palm]

Could be worse, I guess?

[lament stone]

you still in cruel act 3?

[lost bramble]

yes

[lament stone]

so you probably havent done the other side quest for +10 fire res yet

you should still try to get that to positive tho

[glacial palm]

That is not a great time to be at-50 fire lol

[lament stone]

having negative resists make you take more damage

[azure lava]

You're basically taking 500% more damage than you would be if you were capped (75%)

[lament stone]

so if an enemy hits you with 100 fire damage, youre now taking 150 fire damage if i have that right

[azure lava]

Aye

[lost bramble]

i dont have any better equipment

besides for 70+

and im 62 rn

[azure lava]

Then you don't have your mod priority on gear correct

[lament stone]

just pick up stuff from the ground

[velvet edge]

I know. I have a 96 absolutely decked out Deadeye lol, why im not wanting to use it, even if its a bit faster

[azure lava]

Or you're not looking for loot well enough

[lament stone]

if it has life + resists its good

[velvet edge]

100s of hours already spamming arrow abilities ^^

[azure lava]

You can literally put 60% fire res on your gear just from runes

[merry berry]

I hate the chaos temple man

But at least it’s not got the honor system

Just modifiers

[oblique moat]

Guys is ssf more fun than standard? Or should i just do HC SSF

[lament stone]

2 mod magic gear with life + 1 resist is better than 6 mod rare gear or uniques with no life or resists

[azure lava]

Ah, I see. Then I'm out of leveling ideas lol. Maybe Shockwave totem with two maces with +melee level

[azure lava]

Fun is subjective. I enjoy ssf way more than trade

[craggy gyro]

is sidekick not safe anymore?

[mental needle]

Up to taste. If you don't like trading then it's definitely better.

[velvet edge]

Gonna see if Conductivity makes a difference, if not i need something better for bosses lol

i mean im giga tanky with twink leveling gear

i dont die

they just take ages

[oblique moat]

Thanks guys! Imma do some ssf not hc coz im bad tho lol

[lament stone]

i think ssf is fun, personally i wouldnt do hardcore if i havent at least done all the bosses on softcore first so im not caught offguard by easily avoidable mechanics i just didnt know about

[lost bramble]

all my armor have 100+ hp and high armour but just not fire res

[lament stone]

armour doesnt matter

just life + resists

[mental needle]

Resists are more important than armor

[lament stone]

also armour is shit anyway

[mental needle]

Armor is a bonus

It's not shit in campaign at all

[azure lava]

For non-weapon gear:
Movement speed on boots > life/resistances >>>>>>>>everything else

[velvet edge]

Conduct should definitely speed things up a bit

[chilly geyser]

Hey all, can I do my second Ascendancy in Sekhemas? Or must I do the Trial of Chaos?

[azure lava]

Maybe with cast on shock. Casting it manually is a pain

[velvet edge]

I have spare spirit actually

[azure lava]

You can do it in sekhemas, but you need a 2-trial djinn barya

[chilly geyser]

@azure lava Thank you

[lament stone]

because of how the armour formula is, its not good against big hits, doesnt help that all the bosses that do phys damage also have overwhelm (basically armour penetration) so against something like the breach boss, if you have less than 15k armour you effectively have 0 armour

[azure lava]

Most likely way easier to do the chaos

[pine oar]

How to craft something from a normal item? what steps to do in order?

[paper trench]

is it better to move by clicking or wasd?

[azure lava]

Transmute it and augment it. Or alchemize it

[vestal spire]

Is it possible to play endgame with the quest bug on act 1 normal? (Travel to east bug)

[lost bramble]

im playing with iron reflexes, following a build

[lament stone]

whichever you prefer

[azure lava]

Preference

[paper trench]

and how do I swap from clicking to wasd

[azure lava]

Options menu

[lament stone]

controls menu

[mental needle]

Settings>input

[paper trench]

I tried to find it but couldnt

[azure lava]

Yes

[azure lava]

Should be in game or keybinds options, I think

[paper trench]

I gotta change keys one by one? or is there na option

[azure lava]

Wasd should be an option in itself

[mental needle]

It will have a default for each setup

[paper trench]

found ty

[azure lava]

Those orbs can add mods, make sure you read what your currency items do.

You can also add quality with scraps/whetstones, or add sockets for runes with artificer orbs

Also hold alt and click on keywords to read more. It should explain everything

[pine oar]

Can any armor roll any stat or is it based on the type it is and is it the same with weapons?

[dark talon]

Can someone link me an up to date build guide that isn't a video for leveling a Deadeye with Lightning. There's so many I am not sure which one to pick.
preferably one that doesn't assume I have the strongest currency or access to 5 slot gems.

[azure lava]

Different item types have different pools, but the same types will have largely identical mod pools for their ilvl.

Eg, all quarterstaves have the same mod pool if they have the same ilvl

[mental needle]

An energy shield boot can't roll %armor increase but other than stuff like that all boots have the same mod pool

[pine oar]

So can any chest armor roll with + Spirit?

[vernal finch]

For the support gem energy barrier it says energy shield recharges immediately while using supported skills, does that mean I have to actively be using the skill or just have it equipped?

[azure lava]

Yes, as long as it meets the ilvl requirement (if any)

[azure lava]

Need to actively use it. And I might be misremembering, but I think there's more to that gem

[pine oar]

I am in act 3 are there only the 2 vendors in the pyramid?

[vernal finch]

yes it says while stunned too... so I have to actively be casting the spell for it to work?

[azure lava]

There's Alva for gambling, Oswald for gear and martial weapons, and one more person for flasks, jewelery, and arcane items

[glass turtle]

whats the earliest you can tier 4 (all points ) ascend with a carry?

[azure lava]

I think it only works if you get stunned while using that skill. Can you screenshot it?

[mental needle]

Put some respect on mama Servi

[azure lava]

Imagine going to the arcane vendor lmao

[mental needle]

They have rings/amulets

I always check

[azure lava]

Yeah, fair, I forgot I did that, too

[pine oar]

I have Servi and Oswald I think Alvi is who got kidnapped that is the part I am on

[azure lava]

Wrong reply, sorry

[azure lava]

I'd ask in #2┃after-acts-help

[vernal finch]

I don't really understand how I'm supposed to be using a skill while stunned lol

[stark lynx]

You are misunderstanding

[azure lava]

Read the yellow text

[vernal finch]

So is that like.. while I'm casting the spell? or the duration of the spell that I have casted like flame wall or something?

[azure lava]

It's a pretty meh support gem that's good in a few niche scenarios. It's great for raise shield

[azure lava]

While using any skill. Ie, the animation of you using it

If it's a spell, it's for the length of the cast time

[vernal finch]

Ok it makes sense then using = casting I guess lol

[azure lava]

Basically yeah

[vernal finch]

Ok thank you guys ❤️

[fervent arch]

it is practically the reverse, acts normal to cruel is very punishing, meanwhile as soon as you are high enough level your build just goes online and just smash everything.

Relatively speaking end game is significantly easier because you have access to better gear and skills.

[azure lava]

Yeah, imagine how much easier it would be if resists didn't get lowered by 60%

[wicked prairie]

anyone got a spare spirit orb?

[azure lava]

#rules-and-info trading and asking for handouts are not allowed on this server

[wicked prairie]

mb

[glacial palm]

Ah, good to know. I'll stop building up my resists throughout the acts then 👍

[fervent arch]

That's just you misunderstanding what i am saying. The tools, passives and gear you have available to you at later levels are more than enough to handle endgame content. During the campaign, you don't have alot of options and your passive tree is very limited and whilst its obviously doable, it definetly requires more effort to progress the campaign then your normal endgame activity imo.

im not saying that it is poorly designed in any way shape or form.

but the campaign is a hurdle, an obstacle, a more difficult obstacle than your normal map.

[glacial palm]

I mean, that's you misunderstanding what I'm saying as well... I never said the campaign was easier or harder, and I certainly never said it was poorly designed.

[shell bridge]

Does cast speed apply to Monk or is it attack speed?

[glacial palm]

I simply said that the game encourages you to build up your defenses iteratively throughout the campaign rather than making you do it all at once in endgame.

[glacial palm]

Cast speed applies to spells, attack speed applies to attacks.

[mental needle]

Cast speed is for spells, attack speed is for attacks, look beneath the name of your skill to see its tags and which it is

[verbal geyser]

this reminds me of asking my ex wife where she wants to go eat

[shell bridge]

@mental needle @glacial palm okay thanks

[mental needle]

From all the people I've seen saying they're dying on repeat in low tier maps I'm not so sure about this

[fervent arch]

yeah, i'd just disagree at that point then, i feel like the general consensus is that the campaign is very punishing

[mental needle]

Not agreeing or disagreeing really, just saying I don't think it's very productive to tell new players that maps are easier as that's not a given.

[fervent arch]

i didn't mean you said it was poor, just didnt want you to get the impression that i thought so.

The game encourages you to build defensively for sure, but your tools are limited and it is very hard to not sacrifice substantial amount of dmg for defences early. Maybe class dependent as well but the campaign is imo alot more punishing than endgame. Lacking resistances or not.

[glacial palm]

That's fine... but we're in #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help
I was just responding to a question of "Why do our resistances lower every act?"

[dark talon]

What is the difference between skill speed and attack speed?

[mental needle]

Skill speed applies to all skills, attack speed applies to attacks only

[fervent arch]

Why not if that is true?

[mental needle]

Because it's not objective truth

[fervent arch]

Was more responding to the part were you were talking about cruising through the campaign to hit a wall, imo the wall is the acts and then you start cruising

[dark talon]

What are all skills?
Like what is a skill that isn't part of attack?

[fervent arch]

well its subjectively true, its an opinion is it not?

[hybrid star]

you can roll through if timed right

[mental needle]

Frostbolt is a spell, it also benefits from skill speed. Seismic cry is a warcry it benefits from skill speed.

[glacial palm]

Did you go chrono or stormweaver?

[dark talon]

Ah I get it now, sorry.

[hybrid star]

into it

[mental needle]

into it, from the direction they're coming

[glacial palm]

You roll into the wave, so you are on the other side of the damage.
If you roll away, you're rolling into spears 😅

[mental needle]

I usually pick an edge, but anything works

[glacial palm]

If you're trying to roll, I expect in the middle would be better but I also am not sure if the rest of the spear is still an active hitbox after it fires.

If not, then doesn't matter 👍

[azure lava]

Lmao, silly non-chrono problems

[mental needle]

Can chrono freeze the soldiers?

[azure lava]

No, but they can rift to the other side of the spears and fully restore their life/es every 4 seconds

[glacial palm]

No.

[rapid plover]

need help for boss act 1 normal, ign : Pulsx

[mental needle]

Oh

[glacial palm]

At that level you're not doing it ever 4 seconds yet, but yeah. It's pretty nice.

[mental needle]

so you press a button to go through the spears

sounds like dodge roll for two asc points

[dark talon]

How do I know if a lightning skill shocks or doesn't shock?
Or do they all shock?

I mean apply the "shock" debuff that makes them take more dmg - not the "shocked like stun" special thingie.

Also how much more dmg is it? Is it a fixed number or a variable number based on dmg like ignite?

[waxen magnet]

Hello!

I am a new player and wanted to ask some things about Uniques.
Are they level restricted?
Are they good until what level?

[glacial palm]

If we look at only one use case as the only thing it does... yeah, it would sound like that

[mental needle]

Press alt and click shock, it tells you all of this

[waxen magnet]

What is the Item level reffering to?

[dark talon]

Where do I click?

[hybrid star]

this is the shock icon on the enemy

[mental needle]

On the underlined word "shock"

[dark talon]

But my lightning rod doesn't have it

[dark talon]

Is it a fixed number at 20% increased dmg? How long does it last?

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[dark talon]

I am wondering if all lightning skills inherently cause shock and is shock considered an ailment or?

[azure lava]

On the word shock

[hybrid star]

you can find Shock underlined in passive tree

[sinful glacier]

It depends on the Unqiue itself and how good it actually is- some low level Unqiues are used even in Endgame content- some for leveling- and some are either super super Niche or outright just Chance Scrap

There are a handful of Uniques that are Late Game gated but the majority of all Uniques is available at fairly low levels and a lot of them are super cheap to acquire too since- as before mentioned - there are many that are used for Leveling

[dark talon]

Do I need to activate the passive to have access to shock on my lightning rod/arrow?

[mental needle]

It's just for reading purposes

[azure lava]

Click lightning or any word "shock" on the passive tree

[azure lava]

Holding alt and clicking an underlined keyword or phrase is key to understanding how the mechanics of poe2 work

[mental needle]

They did a lot of work to make the wiki come to you

[sinful glacier]

@waxen magnet here are examples of said early and / or late game Unqiues. the first one is used for Leveling on Witches for the Minions - the second one is more used Lategame to Substitude Tankiness from Physical Damage to Fire in the Lategame since armour is a.... Touchy Topic xd

[waxen magnet]

Yeah, I'm actually levelling a witch atm 🙂 and the guide suggested to get 3 uniques if I could to level

[west field]

So yeah. Like the game

One question, how many characters can I have without buying more slots

[azure lava]

Poe1 lets you have 24, poe2 might be the same

[west field]

And are the limitations across all leagues or...

[sinful glacier]

its likely refering to 1 Helmet 1 Chest and 1 Shield- there is a Shield with +50 Spirit- 2 different helmets that are good for leveling (1 that increases your Minion damage by quite a bit and another one that helps your sustain by consuming corpses around you for HP) and then the +100 Spirit chest I just showed you

[west field]

I am pretty sure I'll have a char for each league :D

[glacial palm]

imo, the answer is "too many" 😅

[mental needle]

No such thing as too many

[glacial palm]

Dad gaming 😦

[mental needle]

even 1 char per league adds up

[slow aspen]

anyone able to help with viper rq

[west field]

this tbh

[tacit knot]

How does anointing work when can u first do it

[mental needle]

You need distilled emotions from an endgame mechanic

and then certain combinations of those result in certain notables from the passive skill tree

[tacit knot]

Ah endgame.

[mental needle]

on your amulet

[tacit knot]

Im not close 😦

[mental needle]

Yeah dw about it

[tacit knot]

Okay uhm so its not anything early or mid game

[mental needle]

I mean technically you could buy the emotions and do it whenever

but yeah not really

[tacit knot]

Any of you know any youtubers that really explain things well

Listening to krippariann

He really explains it well

Also teaches new things

Id love to see more builds laid out and thoroughly all tech explained

[mental needle]

Zizaran, Ghazzy (minions), Captain Lance, Raxxanterax, ZiggyD. There are loads, but these are who I would recommend for new players

[covert garnet]

so i got summon raging spirits do i just get rid of this now since im going a full minion build?

[mental needle]

You can keep it to weave in chaos spells with your minions and run a sceptre in the other hand

or just run a sceptre and a shield or something

[covert garnet]

planning on going scepter and shield

[mental needle]

Yeah you can get rid of it unless you really wanna keep it for a possible reroll, but it's not exactly stellar to justify that

[shut abyss]

tbh you're quite busy with raging spirits and minions

[covert garnet]

i just used it for the lvl 5 chaos bolt lvl 4 with the plus 1

[tacit knot]

Unbelievable is ghostwrithe/es really that op that a high strength character can have 8000 es by just getting quite some maximum increased es and ghostwrithe

He had 8000 es not even investing in int

[mental needle]

INT does nothing for es

[tacit knot]

Yea but it does allow ES gear

Ghostwrithe doesnt even need int

[mental needle]

but yeah ES scaling is overtuned or life undertuned depending how you look at it

[covert garnet]

how do i get more of those support gem sockets?

[vernal finch]

For this skill is it saying that the bones will hit an enemy for 18-27 damage, and then explode for another set of damage like it hits the enemy twice? Or is it hitting for 18-27 damage as a single hit that explodes?

[mental needle]

You need jeweller's orbs, they're an RNG drop, there are a couple guaranteed ones through the campaign in some side-content, the first being at the very start of act 3

[tacit knot]

Is any on that lisr veru good at explaining aswell? I love the thorough explanations

[snow cliff]

Hello does anyone know if the tier of waystone affect your choice of unique from the wandering trader (mapping)?

[tacit knot]

I wrote ur lisr down ty

[covert garnet]

so its endgame stuff?

[vast nexus]

what's the purpose of holy water in tral of sekhema

[mental needle]

That's why I put them, I'd say Raxx, Ziggy, and zizaran are the most thorough. I always end up watching Ziggy's stuff on the new league mechanic in poe1 because he's covers everything without rambling on.

[shut abyss]

nahhh but they're quite rare at the beginning

[mental needle]

Kinda? Like I said you'll get your first for sure in act 3

[tacit knot]

Is target farming for uniques possible in poe 2? Thanks a lot sir really appreciate it!!!?

[mental needle]

lesser jewellers are quite common later in the game

[mental needle]

Not really, only boss uniques are truly targetable, and chance orbs are technically targetting as well

[tacit knot]

But with this mapping system, if it even allowed target farming, woulsnt it still be hard to find the rivht boss

Ive never been there but heard it

[covert garnet]

now i uinderstand why summon raging spirits is so good, i was too stubborn to continue on my old witch who didnt have srs

[mental needle]

Depends on the mechanic, but you can target them pretty hard with tablets and such

citadels/arbiter are the only one that feels like you're really at the mercy of RNG

[shut abyss]

using firewall?

[covert garnet]

spamming fire wall

[shut abyss]

good good let them burn

[covert garnet]

i do have fortress and arcane surge on fire wall

[shut abyss]

anyway, do you want those lesser jewelers? make your journey little bit easier

[covert garnet]

well i dont need them yet the guide im using has mostly support level 3 gems

wanted to test how powerful the build is before srs it took roughly a minute, with srs didnt last 5 seconds LOL

[shut abyss]

srs for sure carried my witch trough bosses

[covert garnet]

its disgusting

[long crag]

how do I leave my friend trial instance so I can play on my own?

[shut abyss]

you need to re-enter the area(ctrl click)

[shut abyss]

anyway, drop an invite(mopparii) save the orbs for when you need

[long crag]

they fixed this due to duplicate abuse

[mental needle]

You can just portal out

[long crag]

tried that. still putting me back in his instance

[sterile rune]

anyone want to teach me to football? Never spent much time in POE so a lot to try to cram in my tiny smooth brain 🙂

[mental needle]

Portal out, leave party, join your own instance, rejoin party if you so desire

[stark lynx]

hit monster until monster no longer tries to kill you

[sterile rune]

nope, not small enough words

[stark lynx]

kill monster fast

[mental needle]

kill

[sterile rune]

almost getting something from that

still a little much

[sterile rune]

aaaah

picture gud

[stark lynx]

anyway what was your question

[sterile rune]

Just looking to learn a little more about the mechanics that differentiate this from diablo I know there are similarities however some of the base factors make this a little harder for a new player to grasp.

[green schooner]

Guys im in my stash and it says this for some reason

[shy star]

can anyone help me get good drip i don't know what i can buy that can transfer

[green schooner]

Why does it say remove only

[sterile rune]

also what glitch said about said drip

[covert garnet]

is there anyway top create a filter for poe2?

[stark lynx]

Did you migrate from ssf?

[stark lynx]

Yeah filters are a thing on pc

[mental needle]

Yes

[green schooner]

What?

[stark lynx]

dont think consoles have them atm

[green schooner]

Like i switched from console to pc

[stark lynx]

remove only tabs usually come from migrations

[trim turret]

One of the biggest differences is the classes. Any class on POE can use any item or skill. The difference between classes is where they start on the passive tree and their available subclasses. But there is a lot of cross-play between classes because of that. Crossbow/mercenary users are playing as a ranger because one of her subclasses has bonuses that can apply to many different things.

[stark lynx]

ah

[covert garnet]

well i want to create a filter how do i do that?

[stark lynx]

oh yeah you are on sony

[green schooner]

Ye but know on pc?

[stark lynx]

Sony doesnt allow sharing purchases to PC

[fringe sphinx]

does a guild have a seperate stash then the normal stash?

[green schooner]

Wtf realy?

[stark lynx]

so the tabs are remove only mode

[trim turret]

A lot of stuff from POE1 hasn't been ported over yet. Even the base gear looks pretty good.

[stark lynx]

you can thank sony's legal team

[shy star]

yea but how do i know what i can buy

that looks good

I NEED TO AQUAIRE DRIp

[green schooner]

Wauw this is insane

[shy star]

i saw someone who loooks so good

[trim turret]

Look in the store?

[green schooner]

Wtf

[shy star]

i don't like store stuff

[trim turret]

Yes.

[trim turret]

Then I don't know what you mean by buying.

[fringe sphinx]

ty sir

[covert garnet]

where do i go to create one, kind of want a filter to show items that have quality on them

[shy star]

i saw someone with a cosmic staff and a ninetail cat cosmic type shit and alot of cosmic armor which isn't in the shop

[trim turret]

It's in the POE1 shop, it just hasn't been ported to POE2 yet.

[sterile rune]

I understand that, just keep running into issues mostly with the speed which some abilities flow. Not sure how else to phrase it but it seems like the dodge roll doesn't prevent me from getting hit regardless of how hard I flash back to dark souls and some of my abilities tend to prevent me from trying to dodge

[shy star]

but i saw sm1 with that staff in poe 2

[shut abyss]

https://github.com/NeverSinkDev/NeverSink-PoE2litefilter

[shy star]

.

[trim turret]

Then maybe some of it HAS been ported over. Hard to know for the individual cosmetics since there are hundreds of them.

[trim turret]

Everything should be interrupted by dodge roll, and it doesn't have iframes. It allows you to avoid projectiles and many types of hits but AOE can still hit you during roll.

[sonic bluff]

hey guys qeustion. so i beated act two but evry mob died quickly. now at start of act 3 and suddenly all monsters have a health pool that cries. what would be recommended base damage to go tro the acts?

[stark lynx]

I think poedb had some list of ported mtxes

but its by no means complete

[mental needle]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Guide:Item_filter_guide This has everything you need, I'd suggest using someone else's premade filter to learn/adjust from.

[sterile rune]

Makes sense, just feel like some of the area attacks seem to hit even when I have dodged past where they look to hit I guess. I didn't mean to say I dodge into attacks and expected them to not hurt me more that it seems when I dodge out of the area I still get hit 9/10 times.

[covert garnet]

was hoping there is a online item filter creationg tool like filter blade

[mental needle]

Not yet, relatively soon

[trim turret]

That shouldn't be the case but it may be that some of it needs tweaking also. Sometimes it's actually faster to just run away from the attack, rolling isn't any faster.

[mental needle]

Rolling is faster at the startup

it's for emergencies only

[sterile rune]

also a fair point, not sure again new to the POE verse so trying to pick up some things as I go mostly seems like any other game of the sort Resistance over all and health over most of whats left.

[mental needle]

Correct, you've mastered it

[trim turret]

Yep, at the end of the day. You need the stats.

[glacial mauve]

Anyone having issues with the map not saving when you leave an area or die?

[lament stone]

atlas maps? thats how they work

when you die you fail the map

[viscid jasper]

can someone explain #% increased Spirit to me please. does it increase my overall spirit or just the spirit from my weapon? ty

[trim turret]

If it's on an item that has spirit by default, it increases the spirit on that item.

[glacial mauve]

No, everything. I leave an atlas map then I lose vision. I die at level 30 in a normal area, my map goes away. I go into a new area and go back, my instance is gone.

[viscid jasper]

tyty

[lament stone]

in the campaign, the maps reset all the enemies in the area, but it shouldnt reset the zone itself unless you havent been in it for more than 7-15 minutes

[glacial mauve]

Nope, it's resetting the whole zone. Very frustrating

[lament stone]

zones reset if you havent been in them for more than 7-15 minutes

[glacial mauve]

This is out and back in. It's not working properly

[warm violet]

im on act 1 cruel at the moment and haven't really changed my gear because I don't like the stats as much as the old pieces. need some help on determining whats an upgrade tbh. Is it just higher stats? Like at the moment I have a +51 Spell damage wand, every time ive crafted so far I haven't gotten anything higher.

[covert garnet]

i think i discovered that quality items haver superior in their name

[lament stone]

on armour, you only care about life and elemental resists, and movespeed on boots

for your weapon, increased spell damage + level skill level, cast speed are the sort of things you want the most

[vernal finch]

For ailments such as ignite or bleed... if I inflict one with a spell that does 100dmg, then use a different spell that does 200dmg, will the ignite from the higher damage spell override the first one?

[lament stone]

yes, only the strongest ignite will be active on the enemy

[vernal finch]

Ok thank you

[shut abyss]

[errant skiff]

Can I ask a Mercenary question here? I'm a newbie

[spark bane]

what is that red symbol on the top left of my map? (location is path of mourning)

[errant skiff]

I went Gemling Legionnaire and took Adaptive Capability. Is that passive not working?

[lament stone]

why do you think its not working?

[craggy gyro]

I only get junk gear drops now. Been trying to farm a new crossbow for two days for the cruel acts

[errant skiff]

It should use my highest stat to satisfy the other two right? My Str is 68 and Int is 7, but still says I need 7 Int to use certain skills

[lament stone]

are you sure that int is needed for skills? and not gear?

[craggy gyro]

Still using a corrupted core crossbow from act 3 standard😑

[lament stone]

adaptive capability only applies to gems

[errant skiff]

Ohhh . . . I feel dumb lol

That refers to Support Gems, right? Not Skills.

[lament stone]

skill gems and support gems

[willow tendon]

Hello everybody

Anyone had Buffer Underflow issue with the game ?

Thanks

[rancid bridge]

hey, anyone got a few mins to answer a couple questions for me

[ruby vale]

Hi guys. Does anyone know the avg time for support to answer?
Im being ignored more than 10 days alrdy

[mental needle]

Just ask 👍

[fierce hare]

it was christmas holidays, i guess their workload is huge atm

[rancid bridge]

im very confused about all the orbs and essences ive been getting. when am i meant to use them? just as they come in?

i have like 10 orb of transmutation ,is that just to see what i can get or is that valuable later on? i recently reached the desert part

[ruby vale]

while lvling you don't usually use it
just read what they do and use when you feel it :))
Try to save some exalted and other valuable orbs, dont use it

[ruby vale]

Transmutation orbs are not valuable, use them if you want

[mental needle]

It's advised you use transmutation orbs and augmentation/regal to look for upgrades through the campaign, save exalted or chaos orbs for player trading if you intend to do so.

[craggy gyro]

Holy shit this game is hard

[tired forge]

Hey guys : )

[craggy gyro]

I’m genuinely struggling with the little tutorial boss

[covert garnet]

this looks great

[tired forge]

Quick question: I am stuck unable to beat Count Goenor with my Summonmancer character.

Is this just because I suck, or is this because my summon witch is not a viable character?

[tired forge]

Amazing, lol, gz : )

[shut abyss]

it is abit hard but slow and easy to read, keep dodging! don't let the zombies mob you!

[craggy gyro]

I’ve not played a game like this before so I just gotta keep at it I guess!

[covert garnet]

how far would this take me its act 1 gear

[tired forge]

I didnt know this game had a tuturial! XD

[trail comet]

Someone has SPD boots?

[craggy gyro]

I think it does lol

[shut abyss]

act 2 maybe

[ruby vale]

a lot of ppl stuck there. Just lvl a bit, try to read guides etc...
Summoners are good and chill gameplay, they are viable in endgame 100%

[tired forge]

tyvm!

So just keep moving up the minnion passive tree?

[shut abyss]

raging spirit+firewall carries witches

[somber venture]

I want to carry a friend of mine for the 4th ascendancy through the trial of chaos. Do I just invite them before I open the door to the trialmaster or what?

[ruby vale]

try to buy oaksworn, find some spirit, make more summons, cut ALL support gems etc

[tired forge]

So I hear for end game, but sadly i am still L 17 😛

[shut abyss]

@tired forge oh and cold resist for the the wolfie and i wasn't talking about endgame

[tired forge]

tyvm for your advice, I dont know what this means but will google it XD

[ruby vale]

you go to the last room, use the book to leave sekhemas, invite him, open door and go into room togeher

[ruby vale]

go into room together, but he doesnt go to boss room

[main quartz]

That doesn't work in chaos

[ruby vale]

yeah sorry didnt see you are writing about trialmaster
thought sekhemas 😦

[somber venture]

so I put the 3 pieces in or whatever and then I just got in by myself and they stay in the reward room?

[ruby vale]

dont know, never done chaos trial boost, sorry(

I thought you are talking about sekhemas

[somber venture]

that's okay, thanks for the help anyway

[tired forge]

Yes, but is Raging Spirit not a L10 skill, sir?

[shut abyss]

iirc you get it in act1

[tired forge]

This is not sarcasm, am genuinely curious

[tired forge]

Oh

I will go grind the mini bosses to see if anything drops

[shut abyss]

do you have your 30 spirit yet? from the quest?

[ripe talon]

?

[ruby vale]

it will increase, yes.
But you must understand, if you have +500% spell damage from nodes already, after this boost you will have 530%, not 500+500*30%=650

[tired forge]

I do.

Ahh

[ruby vale]

try to optimize your build, take rings for chaosres and coldres
I lvled 2 chars and both times i needed more than 30 tries for wolfboss
Maybe you just didn't try it enough?)

[tired forge]

Most likely, lol, I think my easy run on Diablo 2 has spoilt me XD

Strong builds there almost trivialises the game.

[flint wind]

Wolfboss is quite brutal

[ruby vale]

just try more, learn attacks and timings
if you are in that location you are 99% able to kill him

[flint wind]

My advice: aim for life on gear and always pick up your weapon type and id them for maybe a damage increase

[covert garnet]

i delt too much damage on the final boss of act 1, its not dropping

[flint wind]

Like same thing here

Once you have a exalt

You can just buy a weapon for your level. That will allow you too one shot everything for the next 2 acts

[shut abyss]

i'm guessing you need to wait for phase change?

[covert garnet]

yep

[shut abyss]

it be like that sometimes

[covert garnet]

first witch character died multiple times, on my second witch destroyed him

[tired forge]

I see.

I am happy for now, but am also a bit sad because of this.

[shut abyss]

does he one shot you?

[tired forge]

No,, I think my main issue is DPS

I think he could one shot me, but only with very slow charge attack that can be evaded

[shut abyss]

invite mopparii ingame we'll fix that

[flint wind]

It is quite a long fight.

But normally you shouldn't need too buy upgrades

Another option is gold gambling in town

Nah it's a experience you should do for yourself

[tired forge]

Ahh, I thank you sir, but please let me try it a few times more.

[shut abyss]

i won't carry you

[tired forge]

I have only died 3 times, by sounds of it I just havnt had enough time yet.

[brisk kestrel]

Can somebody help me with the molten vault boss? He’s kicking my ass

[tired forge]

So i am grateful for your offer, but would respectfully decline. I hope I will do this eventually : )

[rancid bridge]

i just acquired a persistent buff skill gem, nd chose raging spirits according to the guide. but it seems like its not active? how do i activate it?

[shut abyss]

does this explain it ?

[rancid bridge]

thanks, but it says i dont have enough spirit? character page says i have 30, and it requires 30..

[shut abyss]

ahh support gems maybe?

what i mean is that some support gems increase spirit cost

[rancid bridge]

ohh yea thats it

thanks!

[reef thistle]

is it possible for me to get boosted?

[vestal spire]

which one is better? main dmg is spark

[reef thistle]

im new and im running the same build i think so prolly right

[dusky burrow]

right

[shut abyss]

uhh probly the right one but maybe not much

[dusky burrow]

right is way better

[reef thistle]

right is fireeeeeee

[shut abyss]

oh yeah increased cast speed

[reef thistle]

i wish i had that lmao

[covert garnet]

whats a good place to try to grind for a owaksworn sigile crest shield?

[reef thistle]

lmao mines trash

[shut abyss]

atleast slam it with alt orb!

[dusky burrow]

there is no excuse to be using that unless you literally just started

[covert garnet]

any good place to farm for it?

[dusky burrow]

progress the campaign, drop currency, then trade for it

[covert garnet]

how much is it worth if i trade for it?

[dusky burrow]

you can't target farm it

[reef thistle]

i did lol thats why im lookin for a boost. all my friends are wayyy higher than me

[craggy gyro]

The unique drops this time around have been pretty often

[flint wind]

Crafting inside the campaign is important

Alt orb magic items so they have 2 mods

Regal them so they have 3 mods

Maybe alch a white item

[craggy gyro]

Too bad they’re all so low level

[flint wind]

Probably very cheap so 1 exalt

[dusky burrow]

not much, check it yourself

[covert garnet]

whats an exalt?

[flint wind]

Exalted orb the main currency used in trading between players

[dusky burrow]

exalted orb, it's a relatively common currency item

[shut abyss]

(not in act1)

[flint wind]

It's basically a dollar

[craggy gyro]

Shit not for me 😂😂😂

[vestal spire]

i bought the right one guys, should i increase the quality

[shut abyss]

nahh, you probly don't have alot of them, should save for better ones

[dusky burrow]

not really, it's better to sell the whetstones for exalts

[safe lance]

The staff quality thing might not be working correctly. Idk if its fixed yet didnt keep track because I wasnt playing any staff builds.

[vestal spire]

okay ty guys

[safe lance]

I am an extreme hoarder and only started quality'ing gear after item level 75+

[vestal spire]

i see alright, i asked because lots of stuff is still unkown to me in the game so had to make sure instead of wasting materials

[safe lance]

Thats just me btw, it might not be sound advice. Also in the big reveal stream they said they were encouraging players to use their exalts and other currency and I had used them all in act 1 and regretted it a lot as they were very hard to find in acts. That's what led to this behavior.

[vestal spire]

any recommended support gems to put in lightning bolt? or i'm not gonna even use the skill?

[civic locust]

if you equip 2 of the same type of charm, will only one trigger when stunned/poisoned/etc?

[open mango]

Guys, I did traitor passage and killed balbala but died with her and I couldnt get the Dijn and now I cant access trials, What should I do?

[shut abyss]

you shouldn't use your first divines and you can do major upgrades with 1 exalt per gear piece from trade up until T15 maps or so
quality ones are abit rare, so are greater/perfect jewelers orb

[hearty meadow]

Is there generally a better vial to take from venom crypts quest?

[safe lance]

Did you respawn at checkpoint? Did that not respawn the boss? If not the dropped items should hve been there right?

[shut abyss]

if he doesn't drop it on your second kill you might have to wait for a bug fix, i didin't find a solution for it if it gets stuck

but if the quest progressed your fine

[open mango]

I killed the boss like 10 times after that

No more drops

[safe lance]

You can also use the consumable baryas for the first ascendancies btw. I think Deshar might drop a few 1 floor ones.

[open mango]

went to act 5 and killed her again but still cant access trials

[shut abyss]

what does your quest say?

[safe lance]

act 5 balbala doesnt drop a barya

wait do we even need to kill her in act 5? I forget

[open mango]

Travel to traitors passage

[safe lance]

that quest in cruel is a dud

its not correct

[shut abyss]

in normal right?

[open mango]

I just killed her in act 5 and she dropped one but still cant access trials

[open mango]

Yeah

[shut abyss]

probly locket out of trials

[open mango]

Hopefully it gets fixed in the next patch

[shut abyss]

hope so! you can do the chaos one 😛

[safe lance]

This is your first ascendancy?

[open mango]

Yeah

[open mango]

Yeah thats what I did to get my ascendancy

[safe lance]

kk, the 1 floor ones are pretty easy to come, just go to act 2 deshar area and kill the twin birds

Sry I am confused, you already got your ascendancy? That might be why its not dropping.

The quest item from Balbala can only work for 1st.

otherwise it'd be stuck in your pocket so maybe thats why the game isnt dropping it.

[shut abyss]

@safe lance he is locked out of the trial itself and that can happen if you don't pick up the coin on your first kill

[open mango]

Nah I just did the ascendancy after trying all day to get it

[open mango]

Yeah basically

Pretty stupid tbh xD

[shut abyss]

for sure bug

[hollow ridge]

any way to downgrade a skill gem? i already spent my perfect jewel orb on that skillgem

[shut abyss]

nope

(afaik) well, you COULD vaal it but dont

[safe lance]

Ah ok, so trials area is locked, like you cant access waypoint?

[open mango]

yeah

Cant eve tp on my friend

[safe lance]

That sucks. You could try to do the act 2 normal quest with someone doing it for the first time to see if that helps reset this.

[vernal finch]

Does this spell scale with physical damage modifiers or is it just a flat 20% of the monsters hp no matter what?

In the skill window it just says "Physical damage from corpse life 20%"

[deft needle]

How do you get Sigil of Power?

[craggy gyro]

Are there good places to farm in act 1 Cruel for exaltes and rares?

[safe lance]

Its better to farm them in maps imo. But just having high rarity stat could help.

[shut abyss]

tbh probly best for farming is to push forward to higher level zones

[stark lynx]

Only from specific staff base

[deft needle]

I see

ty

[craggy gyro]

I’m stuck on geonor and not sure if my crossbow is strong enough

[shut abyss]

got any exalts?

[craggy gyro]

Just posted my crossbow setup

[deft needle]

You cant run a staff and a focus right?

[shut abyss]

staff is two handed so no

[stark lynx]

you can weapon swap and force set1 on the skills you want vs set 2 on sigil

there is auto swap with skill set settings

[shut abyss]

if you got 1ex you can just buy a better one

[stark lynx]

there is minor cast speed penalty for the swap, but sigil lasts long enough

[vestal spire]

anyone knows?👀

[craggy gyro]

Gotta go farm an exalt then. I have none

[safe lance]

I would ask in the sorc build advice thread or the general build help channel, sry idk.

[craggy gyro]

Will do. Thank you

[shut abyss]

@craggy gyro what level are you?

[covert garnet]

anyone know how much a oaksworn sigil crest shield?

[shut abyss]

1ex

[covert garnet]

so i should just advertise it in the ingame trade chat for it?

[shut abyss]

trade website is better

[covert garnet]

could you link it please

[past sun]

Ive been told it does and that it doesnt, i played with it both scaling with physical dmg nodes and fire nodes and both dealt more than enough dmg to reach endgame maps so i still dont know the answer

[shut abyss]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2

[safe lance]

I was advised to avoid trade chat deals in poe1 to avoid getting scammed, idk the exact rationale behind it. Better to use the trade site.

[vernal finch]

i can't figure it out either, i was trying to throw in some phys dmg support gems but i dont know if they are doing anything

[limber hornet]

i got a unique item, is it better to use it than a normal one? im early game 24 level

[frank egret]

Any recommendation for an established content creator(s) from PoE 1 that has explained systems, crafting, etc (the basics) of PoE 2? My YouTube algorithm is still trying to only show me ragegaming and what not

[shut abyss]

usually no

[merry berry]

There is a lot of confusion with that atm. I’ve heard it scales with fire and physical and that it doesn’t, atp I just assume that it doesn’t to keep expectations low

[trim turret]

Does it do something for your specific build that you can't get someplace else?

[safe lance]

what is the unique?

[vernal finch]

Alright thanks for that... this game could really use a target dummy so we could actually see

[safe lance]

and what build?

[past sun]

Either way its a great spell and probably deserves a nerf, 20% monster hp as dmg feels busted

[merry berry]

100%. If nothing else it would make stuff like this easily verifiable

[lyric fiber]

Whats the best atlas tree setup ? i just got to endgame

[shut abyss]

anything that helps with waystone sustain

[lyric fiber]

Im dumb its my first time playing poe, whats waystone :/

[shut abyss]

it's a map, you know the map device?

[lyric fiber]

Yes

[vernal finch]

Yea it's kind of absurd lol, i'm using it to level so i can get to the build i want faster but hopefully all these phys damage nodes im taking in the passive tree help

[shut abyss]

so map=waystone, endgame is mostly doing those and at first you don't get enough of them so you need atlas to sustain

[lyric fiber]

Ohhhh I see what u mean now, more drops right ?

[slate urchin]

i cant see item on ground only when holding alt. Anyone knows how to fix that

[lyric fiber]

I see I see, makes sense im running out of waystones

Thank you ^_^

[safe lance]

are you using a loot filter?

[shut abyss]

press Z

[rancid bridge]

how do weapon set skill points work? what does it even mean xd

[slate urchin]

no

[clever geode]

Was there a unique that allows ally to get my flask healing?

[slate urchin]

thnx needed that

[shut abyss]

yep or maybe it was ascendancy

[clever geode]

Means it bound to you weapon set
You got set 1 and set 2

[clever geode]

Which one was it i dont rmb

[balmy ginkgo]

hi is there an auto-run feature were you start running towards your cursor with out clicking? thanks

[tacit knot]

Guys how do flasks work if i click the flask two times does it do two simultaneously

[clever geode]

If your use set 1 passive from set 1 is active
Allowing you to have different effects on 2 set

[tacit knot]

Or queue

[clever geode]

Queue i think

[shut abyss]

@clever geode alchemist boon spirit

[pine oar]

what damage do these guys do? also how can I move my buffs and debuffs from top left to bottom mid?

[rancid bridge]

thanks! how do i apply them? if i click the arrow, it says allocating skill points, but i cannot click anything

[sour pebble]

hover over the mob to gets it name

[glacial palm]

How many skill points do you have available above that?

[sour pebble]

then search in https://poe2db.tw/us/

[rancid bridge]

0 general, but 4 for each weapon set, as in 4(4)

[clever geode]

Ah thanks

[clever geode]

Apply them as normal they use your normal skillpoint

So if u got 0 means u cannot apply

The value there only show u how many u can use to split

[glacial palm]

So if you don't apply points for a specific weapon, then it's automatically applied for both. You currently have 0 skill points available to apply to weapon sets.
If you wanted to apply weapon set points, you would need to refund skill points and then apply them for weapon sets individually.

[rancid bridge]

so it only serves as like a loadout system for skill points, not additional points, right?

[glacial palm]

Correct. You can think of it as having the option to split a skill point (and that number is how many you're allowed to split), or you can just use them whole.

Currently since you've never done that, you could split up to 4 if you wanted... but you don't have any to split 👍

[rancid bridge]

thanks a lot

[craggy gyro]

[vapid sigil]

I have a trade question, do I need to create a public party before inviting people to do trades? Seems annoying because I keep having random people join me that I have to kick while afking waiting on whispers

[glacial palm]

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but you don't have to create a party (at least I never do on PC)

Simply right clicking their name and choosing to invite them is enough.

[vapid sigil]

So thats what I thought, because its how it works for my friends, but whenever I do this it sends the invite, it says they joined, then it instantly says they left and party disbanded. Ive lost quite a few trades this way before i made a public party first

[glacial palm]

Weird, definitely not normal behavior 😦

[nova dove]

whats a realistic amount of max spirit i can have by the end of act 3

[craggy gyro]

Most I’ve gotten is 60

[nova dove]

thats just the baseline tho

[vapid sigil]

Depends on class and such as well.

[nova dove]

witch

[glacial palm]

It's going to depend on a lot. Like what you're playing, if you're buying equipment, that sort of thing.

[vapid sigil]

With gear, I had 300 spirit when i finished act 3.

[glacial palm]

If you're talking about a regular solo self-found playthrough, then yeah. 60 is a good benchmark to hit.

[nova dove]

demon form, am trading

currently at 180 something

[glacial palm]

Then yeah, that number can be a lot bigger if you want to spend on +spirit options lol

[nova dove]

i'll probably just drop blasphemy, it's way too expensive to invest in atm

[vapid sigil]

if you are playing witch, i highly recommending spending an exalted or 2 on some core spirit items to buff you

[glacial palm]

Just keep in mind for demon form specifically, you lose the spirit bonus from your weapons so your limit is cut a bit by that.

[nova dove]

i bought a pretty nice amulet and a solid body armor

[craggy gyro]

Should I be leveling my projectiles for my crossbow with strength or dex? Mainly using high velocity for bosses and galv shards and gas grenades for mobs

[nova dove]

ye im at 180 ish with it on, 290 something off

i dropped a unique rattling sceptre which was super lucky

ive been trying to spec more into fire but i guess i should just abuse minions until i actually get all the pieces for the build

[vapid sigil]

not really directed at you just following up, but my recording of the interaction happening to see if im doing it wrong:
https://steamusercontent-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/36690755390889311/A499265E391DE9DC655814635F30E56AB25E5ECD/

[shut abyss]

buyer whispers
seller invites
buyer comes to you(if they are able)
seller trades

[primal bronze]

could I get some advice? Trying to lv quickly. My friend carried all 8 points for me for bloodmage, is there a set up i can use now that would help me lv quicker? I just feel like I do 0 dmg. I can afford twink gear, i just dont know what i would even look for. Sry for not great english lol

[glacial palm]

Apparently when they send the invite, the invitee just gets kicked from their party.

[onyx locust]

WHERE DRUID NEWS BRA?

[silk topaz]

Hey! I'm completly new to games like PoE2, wanted to tried it. I have a question about map... Why the map progress disappear? sometimes when i go out of dungeon to place where i have been before (i discovered full map) the map just disappear like i havent been there before.

[glacial palm]

There is a time limit (8 minutes, I believe) where if an area is unoccupied the map is regenerated and monsters respawned when you next visit.

[vapid sigil]

yeah thats what is happening in the clip, but the party is instantly disbanded when the buyer joins if i dont create a public party first

[shut abyss]

never seen that happen D:

[craggy gyro]

Strength or dex for physical damage on crossbows?

[shut abyss]

str is health dex is evasion

[stark lynx]

Neither gives dmg

dex is accuracy no?

[shut abyss]

oh? maybe

[craggy gyro]

Okay so flat physical damage. Got it

[shut abyss]

anyway not damage

[glacial palm]

If you open your character info screen, you can mouse over the stats and see what they give.
You will want to look at things that affect the skill you use with your crossbow.

[dense pagoda]

which bosses give spirits

[shut abyss]

king of the mists and bog witch(normal&cruel)

[dawn sandal]

why I can't equip this? warrior - it says I am not strong enough but I have 150 strength and 36 lvl ....

[dense pagoda]

ok

[silk topaz]

Oh really?.... That's sad. Thanks anyway for an answer

[glacial palm]

@stark lynx Ah, that's right. It is +acc, just says at the top "to use equipment that gives evasion" lol

[shut abyss]

ah my bad then

[sour pebble]

giant's blood keystone?

[craggy gyro]

Got it! Thank you! Toggling helps me see my stat change easier

[dawn sandal]

I already have one two hand mace on me and I have that passive talent learned

[sour pebble]

right so it's 76 * 3 requirement

do you have 76 * 3 strength?

[shut abyss]

228

[dawn sandal]

225 LOL

hahaha

ok ty
