[terse wadi]

Yh

[trim turret]

If you're spending 20 divines you don't belong in this channel and we can't calculate numbers for you in our heads in a vacuum.

[mental tusk]

i see. so for ice strke build and tempest flurry. more on physical damage?

[trim turret]

Skill level does a lot though.

[rustic venture]

almost always.

[terse wadi]

What level are I

U

[trim turret]

Why?

[terse wadi]

Just curious

[mental tusk]

ill try

[tacit knot]

But sorry why is it that the es ur getting from the amulet seems influenced by the eldritch battery that basically nullifies your es

[mental tusk]

thanks guys.

[tacit knot]

Uninfluenced*

[terse wadi]

It makes u much stronger

[trim turret]

I have a merc in the 70's and I'm doing a sorceress in the 20's. I have a six month old so I play less these days.

[harsh vapor]

anyone doing chaos trials ?

[terse wadi]

Unless u have at least 3k mana you shouldn’t be touching eldrich

[rustic venture]

that amulet doesnt boost es, it greatly boosts mana regen. since mana is life and mana regens without breaks like es, it ends up becoming even better than es.

and also mana doesn't take double damage from chaos in case you didn't use CI

[tacit knot]

Yes bur shoro ir is true that in such scenario u dont have es left because of eldritch battery and no life because of ci

Fully mana reliant

[royal canopy]

Hi guys... any tips reduce lagging? My ping 48ms good. I am using high end laptop 4070 Ti. With i9 14th gen. But lag. Any tips?

[rustic venture]

correct. but enemies can't hurt you unless they delete your mana first.

[trim turret]

Bring up the performance chart and see where youre having trouble.

[royal canopy]

Ok bud... i am checking now

[tacit knot]

So basically you are maximally buffing mana regen and making use of mana potions and mana is protecting your life, and archmage also scales damage with mana etc etc

[rustic venture]

exactly. and you take +mana on gear instead of +life

[tacit knot]

But can mana take 100% if damage for you at that moment?

[mental tusk]

does skill level big diff like 4 level melee skill off?

[rustic venture]

yes, enemies can't touch your life if you have mana

[tacit knot]

Wow thars complex. Thanks a lot

[harsh vapor]

unless the inflict bleed or poison

[terse wadi]

If ur not endgame u really shouldn’t do it

[rustic venture]

oh yeah. and that's what CI is for

[trim turret]

Yes. That's why I didn't want to give an answer if you're spending divines.

This channel is for people doing the campaign for the first time anyway.

[mental tusk]

sorry bro. i rush into this channel since this channel has most active chat

[trim turret]

Ultimately it's a little bit of guess work unless you're able to do the math.

And I'm not even sure we have all the math at this point.

[mental tusk]

i dont have math in my brain lmao.

[trim turret]

And you think we do? Lol

There are waaaay too many things that all interact with each other to determine your damage and overall build stats.

[terse wadi]

There’s so much stuff you’ll never comprehend it all

[pearl wren]

I usually estimate about 5-10% for atack skills per level and something like 15-20% for spells, its not correct but good enough as eye ball level math

[brisk saddle]

are there no stash tab sales right now?

i can't see the sales tab in the microtransaction store

[trim turret]

It just ended.

Another three weeks now.

[royal canopy]

WTA
My bow doesn't have elemental stat. But i put inc elemental dmg on sockets.
My main skill is Thunder. Does it work? Or doesn't?

[trim turret]

If your attack skill converts physical to elemental, that should work yes.

[brisk saddle]

what? It was like only a day, and i couldn't buy it yesterday are you serious?

[trim turret]

No, it was Friday through early Monday.

[deft kraken]

it was like 7 my brotha

[trim turret]

And happens every three weeks like clockwork.

[royal canopy]

Ahhhh thanks a lot. This is The answer 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 100% physical converted to lightning

[trim turret]

Can always check dps on the skill before and after the runes also.

[royal canopy]

Ok buddy 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[trim turret]

If you're brand new you don't really need stash tabs for a bit anyway.

[solar raven]

How many exalts is 1 div

[cursive badger]

any ideas why I can't place soul stone in act 3 cruel quest "Legacy of the Vaal"

[trim turret]

Check the currency exchange or trade website.

[cursive badger]

iirc roughly 110-115

[harsh vapor]

bro why are trials of chaos hell incarnate

why god

[foggy birch]

theres some big boys in that map

theyre not fucking around

[faint ivy]

If I want to make explosive grenade pop early, I need to use a 'detonator' skill like explosive shot right? Or will ignites pop them like they do gas grenade/arrow?

[dark vapor]

hey can somebody help me kill balbala

[plush mantle]

Explosive Grenade IS a detonator, it can't be detonated by other means. So there's no way to make it explode early, only to make the fuse duration shorter

[faint ivy]

Really? Could've sworn explosive shot detonated it early. I guess I was wrong

[plush mantle]

hmm...actually, Explosive Shot WILL detonate it, becuase Shot explicitly says it detonates grenades

basically, it's a special ability of Explosive Shot only

[faint ivy]

So no ignite helmet to auto pop early then. Thanks!

[knotty stag]

is there another sacrificial heart in cruel difficulty for uutzal

[plush mantle]

yes

[full briar]

can someone help me beat the first trial

[hearty sierra]

ign is mattylinx ill help ya out

[verbal bane]

how do people have tilesets for their hideouts?

[bleak garden]

im new to PoE, never played the first one. im a diablo 2 & 3 exile.

ive leveled a witch, a sorceress and a ranger to level 19ish and every time i hit a brick wall at the act 1 end boss. i feel like im missing something. i opened a party with my sorceress and got help with the boss, only to have the same thing happen on the first boss in act 2. i grind xp and do all the sidequests to the point where the xp gains i get from grinding are negligible.

do i literally just need to keep grinding for better drops/orbs? have i underestimated the depth of this time-sink?

im really loving the game so far so if anyone has any pointers for my noob ass id be very thankful

[verbal bane]

umm it could be a few things spaghetti my best guess is a build issue you might not be valuing what is actually valuable for your build

but those are 2 of the harder bosses in the game a lot of people struggle on them

[bleak garden]

my current run is a ranger and ive leaned into stormcaller arrow, poison arrow, the level 1 chain arrow spell, and vine arrow. i absolutely smashed my way through act 1. i only died once or twice because i wasnt paying attention.

[glacial palm]

This game very rarely requires you to actually sit back in an area and grind prior to the very endgame.
It's usually very similar to the d3-esque pathing where you kind of tear through the campaign with whatever you pick up (or craft, in this game) and then put your build to the grinding wheel by repeatedly completing rifts maps to get upgrades.

[hearty sierra]

whats your ign ill whisper you and add ya

[plush mantle]

most of them are from maps, but a few are from supporter packs. I don't think any of the PoE1 hideouts have carried over

[scenic salmon]

True unless you are hardcore

[verbal bane]

wait so you can just get tiles by clearing hideouts?

[plush mantle]

each hideout type you clear lets you swap to it, yes

[foggy birch]

ur not gonna catch me playing hardcore with all that weird ass effects mobs do after they die

[verbal bane]

no i mean like somebody has a limestone hideout with tiles on the floor

[foggy birch]

helll nahhhhhh

[bleak garden]

by far my most frequent cause of death is walking directly into some dead enemy's AOE lmao

[foggy birch]

it is

on god

[bleak garden]

so much on screen i just dont clock the little poison cloud or the pool of red goop

[glacial palm]

Just to clarify for anyone reading, the hideouts will carry over... they're just not implemented yet.

So right now you either find a hideout or buy one lol

[plush mantle]

hmm...might be from the Shrine Hideout, I can't think of anything else that would have literal tiles

[verbal bane]

damn thats what im using and i dont have those

[hearty sierra]

@bleak garden best way ive gotten that fixed is put on colorblind if you can on your pc screen it looks way different i see it clear as day as a purple cloud

[glacial palm]

I will say that will probably be the biggest adjustment, this iteration of the game is definitely putting the "action" back into the ARPG.

[fierce cloak]

.-~^~-..-~^~-.Hardcore players.-~^~-..-~^~-..-~^~-. Question .-~^~-..-~^~-. if you are in a fight , or in a boss fight, low hp - out of potions, if you leave, and wait 15 minutes to come back, do you come back still in that fight or will you spawn in town

[foggy birch]

wtfffffff

[glacial palm]

@bleak garden A lot of fights are positioning and reacting to mechanics, quite a bit of damage is just plain avoidable 👍

[foggy birch]

hell nah

thats just shit design

[ripe plank]

i guess you can just click on esc "respawn at checkpoint"

[foggy birch]

and they will nerf it or change it

whetever u like it or nah

[glacial palm]

Hard disagree, but it is an opinion you're welcome to.

[plush mantle]

yeah, forgot to put "yet" at the end there. Was thinking it, but fingies decided no 🙂

[foggy birch]

it already happen with the snakes in sakhamama trial

[fierce cloak]

is that in the character selection screen?

[hearty sierra]

exactly and if your colorblind my sorry butt is putting colorblind mode on my screen helps me see certain abilities that i cant see cause it either blends in with the floor or i just cant see it for crap

[glacial palm]

Boss fights for me felt genuinely rewarding, and rarely did a mechanic feel unfair. If I died to something I generally could see what it was, learn a tell for it, and learn to avoid it.

[ripe plank]

no, in normal game you clicking esc on keybord and you have an option to respawn at checkpoint

[bleak garden]

i have noticed that you need to listen out for bosses announcing the anime-style names of their attacks.

[fierce cloak]

okay so i panick clicked exit to character selection

this is my concern

lol

[frozen timber]

ayooooooooooooo

[glacial palm]

Oh, heapdhones are a direct upgrade in this game. Not only do you have the anime lines, you have deep nearly bass-boosted gigantic sound cues for the "this is going to hurt" moves lol

[dusky burrow]

how are you panicking if the game is paused

[hearty sierra]

@bleak garden true but if you are nuking health bars like some builds do they dont announce it and they just pop the ability on their own gotta pay attention for queue signs of abilities if they dont announce it

[glacial palm]

Like a single sound that is shared between every major fight I can think of, that is an indicator for "dodge this now or learn to in your next attempt."

[fierce cloak]

my life went down to 35 hp in .25 seconds i hit esec and accidentally clicked on an option which was character selection

how do you breathe

[bleak garden]

as a souls veteran youd think id be better at the A part of this ARPG lol

[glacial palm]

In all honesty, I think the perspective helps a lot (as somebody with a few thousand hours between DS2 and DS3)
Like actually being in the fight and looking at the enemy helps a lot, compared to looking down on them 👍

[hearty sierra]

@fierce cloak bruh its called your dodge rolls help alot and if you are about to die here is the thing if you hit esc and do respawn at checkpoint your gonna be taken out of pause and back in the fight so get ready to dodge roll out of that menu and hit the respawn get to the nearest wall ASAP

[glacial palm]

Oh, and since you mentioned souls... as far as I know the dodge roll does have iframes, just not for every type of attack. Simple strikes and projectiles, not AoE or big overheads.
Don't have an exact number, but few frames right at the start iirc.

[bleak garden]

i never considered how being shin height to a boss makes a difference to perspective but youre right

[bleak garden]

ive noticed this. panic rolling works sometimes haha

[glacial palm]

Honestly it takes a while before the enemies actually roll punish you lol

First one I can really think of is a side boss in act 3.

[hearty sierra]

bruh its amazing when you panic roll ive done it enough times that ive saved myself at 1hp and just running from abilities till my healing potion procs another use

[bleak garden]

111

[lyric ember]

bro is there anything that can be done client side about this awful server lag. its gotten 10x worse this past 24 hours

[hearty sierra]

if you struggle with a health pot get one that recharges every second a certain amount

[glacial palm]

That's me but with rift.
"I'm just going to keep running and spamming this button until I can rewind back to when I wasn't almost dead" lol

[hearty sierra]

drop graphics go to your task manager go to details and then set afinity take 2 cores off and it should help a lil bit

[bleak garden]

i got lucky and pulled one with a huge capacity and like 23% upfront healing. its the best ive seen by a longshot so far and its really changed the way i play

being able to insta heal my whole hp is really good

[glacial palm]

But yeah, sadly the one thing that I can't say is honestly fair (compared to like every boss fight mechanic I've seen) is the on-death effects.

You honestly just have to learn to play around those, and do your best to not be where things died recently.

Not a complaint, just a fact of the game we play.

[hearty sierra]

yup and if you have a corpse build start spamming that corpse using ability helps out as well

[bleak garden]

i dont think its too bad but i do think they should maybe decay faster

[glacial palm]

It's not too bad yet 😅

[bleak garden]

sometimes im just sstanding there for waht feels like forever waiting for a hallway to clear of AOEs with no enemies around

[glacial palm]

Honestly this is one of the two big reasons I have unearth on my pure chaos dot build.

Just clearing swaths of bodies on demand.

[hearty sierra]

@glacial palm im going the raxx build ice/lightning overshield build

[bold tundra]

any reccomendation on what damage nodes to take for shield n mace warrior?

[hearty sierra]

bruh my health barely drops now the over shield i have is just bs

[glacial palm]

It is so cool to see raxx being a name that gets so much mention nowadays, pretty sure I used to hang out in other people's streams with the dude lol

[hearty sierra]

dude if you want a build that you can play and enjoy look at his builds they feel so solid

[glacial palm]

Honestly, I've just been enjoying winging it this go. I'm on some kind of weird chrono chaos/poison build and having a blast so far.

[hearty sierra]

litterally just 3 button build with what im running and im doing boss health in less than 20 seconds

even after the ice monk nerf

take rage on ice strike and then font of rage on bell chef kiss perfection

[plucky oriole]

Hi everyone, I am new to the game. I am playing in xbox and have issues with the trade website. Does anyone know how to fix it?

[safe lance]

What issues?

[plucky oriole]

It says "cannot open the web browser due to account restrictions. Please check your xbox live account.

[safe lance]

Use the trade website on a phone or laptop tbh, it’s impossible to type with controller on a normal site

You can log in with your Xbox id

Or GGG id if you have one

[lyric ember]

Do unique item stats scale to the character level they are dropped at?

[safe lance]

Gear dropped is based on monster level

Basically what dropped it

[plucky oriole]

Got you. I have a keyboard connected to my controller. It helps little lol

[lyric ember]

So if I have two unique of the same item. one drops from a level 15. one a level 30. the same unique item will have better stats from the level 30?

[plush mantle]

sounds like you're on a parental restricted account, so you don't have general web access

[safe lance]

Are you a child?!

[dusky burrow]

if the item base grants a skill that skill will be higher level

otherwise, no

[glacial palm]

^ That is the only change I know of.

Most stats on a unique item are in a set range regardless of where you got it.

[plucky oriole]

I am not a child

[safe lance]

Ok good

I can access the site on PS5 but I’d rather not trade at all, browsing is unoptimized in it haha

It’s decent on phone and better on computers, so I’d suggest either of those

[cold cove]

well i think i found what might be the worst bug so far of my experience from a qol perspective

[hard field]

whats that?

[safe lance]

Suspense

[cold cove]

the boss checkpoint doesnt work properly. it teleports me back to the start of the area :)

so i keep dying and having to rerun the whole map :)

[plucky oriole]

Thank you for the help. I was able to log in on my computer.

[cold cove]

this boss is kicking my teeth in and the extra added stress of running it back every time is killing me

[safe lance]

Weird, I haven’t seen this. Which act is this?

[cold cove]

and i dont even get my flasks back since i got the checkpoint

act 3

one of the final areas if i had to guess, lemme find the name

temple of Kopec

[safe lance]

If you respawned at diff checkpoint try clicking on it and going to the one near boss?

[cold cove]

nope

clicking it just teleports me in place

its actually broken

[bleak garden]

im at the end of act 1 and the stranger still hasnt shown up. i did all the questlines. i swear by this point last time he was able to identify all my stuff. sick of using these damn scrolld

[cold cove]

both checkpoints are pointing to the same location

so therefore

[bleak garden]

am i just misremembering?

[young goblet]

does adding quality to a minion gem do anything, like
Skeletal Arsonist, level 10
vs
Skeletal Arsonist, Level 10, Quality 13%

I'm trying to figure out how to eek more damage out of the minions for act 3

[cold cove]

i can teleport to the middle one just fine but thats still half the area to run through

[lyric ember]

i seemd to have pressed a button by mistake that makes it where items on the ground no longer show up without me holding down alt. does anyone know what setting fixes this

[ripe plank]

you have acces to hooded one after red vale

[cold cove]

idk i dont really like this boss either because of his dashes being kind of hard to predict tbh feels like sometimes he just teleports on top of me too fast to dodge

[bleak garden]

yeah he straight never showed up at clearfell this run... odd

[cold cove]

if there was a rhyme or pattern to it, its lost. not really well telegraphed with all the visual flare

[ripe plank]

do you free him from the tree?

[cold cove]

but idk maybe im just angry cuz of having to run through the level so many times now (well ok like three times but im still angry)

[manic sleet]

Any recommendations on classes that go well together I can play with my wife doing co op?

[bleak garden]

i sure hope so lmao. im pretty sure i did but im gonna go cehck

[cold cove]

how do i report this bug? it could be a rare issue of the randomization but

id still like to report checkpoint issues

[plush mantle]

use /bug in game

[cold cove]

got it thanks

[scarlet girder]

Does Somebody Know how to fix my Character from Autolocking. The Game legit wont let me hit my Tempest Bell

[bleak garden]

hes not in the tree. seems like its a known bug according to google

[ripe plank]

fr this is annoying

[bleak garden]

hes even on the minimap in clearfell

[ripe plank]

oh w8

im wrong

acutally

[young goblet]

Minion witch + anything else, I'm playing a minion witch with the family and when you're in 2 player co-op the extra minions help buy you time to revive your partner in boss battles because getting hit by the boss stops you reviving your partner, so they take a few hits sometimes and let you have the time to help them

Whichever partner's less button intensive is best off taking the minion build, the other can take genuinely anything they want

[ripe plank]

he is in the tent and before he can identify your items you must do the graveyard

to get this ring

to woke him up

[zenith peak]

Hi can you upgrade support gems from level 1 to 2?

[young goblet]

Unfortunately no, you can't combine 3 support 1s to make a support 2

[dark vapor]

could anybody spare an extra level 3 support gem please🙏🏽

[snow mortar]

Are there any benefits to running in a party with regards to EXP and rarity ?

[steel relic]

Hello!
Just looking to confirm that these 2 wont work together?

[scarlet girder]

Its the most annoying thing ever 😂

[cold cove]

bug report posted, hopefully this issue gets fixed. it feels so bad to see a checkpoint not work especially on a boss thats giving me trouble

[arctic echo]

after finishing the campaign i only have 70 spirit! i think i have the act 1 30 and act 3 cruelty. but on the map there is no boss in act 3 can someone pls help me?

[cold cove]

i have limited time left to play too :(

[ripe plank]

in party there is more loot and no experience penalty i guess. Benefit is more fun :D

[dusky burrow]

correct, they do not work together.

[plush mantle]

correct, skills no longer cost mana, so the mana tempest fizzles out and gives no benefits

[snow mortar]

But loot isn’t increased proportional to # of players right ? It’s shared drops

[ripe plank]

im playing ranger and i discover you have better chances to hit what you want when you dont hold button, you have to click them

[zenith peak]

how do you get lvl 2 support gems

[young goblet]

They drop from enemies in act 3

[shadow dust]

Life recharge is interrupted if i use a skill with Lifetap?

[young goblet]

Correct, loot is shared, and from my experience with co-op it hurts double when you're already sharing loot and the game keeps giving your warrior+witch party ranger and mercenary gear 🙂

[ripe plank]

1. more people = more loot and this is even tip in the loading screen
2. You can chenge drop alocation if you want to permanent alocation, short or no allocation at all

[glacial palm]

You know, it's been so long since I cared about life regen that I'm not sure.
I know it would interrupt ES regen.

[golden silo]

I currently have the spark skill at lvl 6 and tried to upgrade it to lvl 9 but it wouldn’t let me, is that a bug?

[plush mantle]

if it's following PoE1 rules (and haven't seen anything to indicate otherwise) it's a quant increase per player, but not 100% more per player

[ripe plank]

do you have required level and attributes?

[scarlet falcon]

after a lot of testing, nearly positive decaying hex does NOT scale with spell power... anyone else noticing this?

[glacial palm]

Just in case, that would require level 31 and 72 int to equip.

[golden silo]

How do I check what’s required if it won’t even show up in the upgrade section

[zenith peak]

Also why I can't use same support gem multiple times. I have two of the same.

[golden silo]

Yea I don’t have the INT, just didn’t see where the requirements were

[glacial palm]

If it's greyed out, you likely don't meet the requirements.
On PC I can simply mouse over it and it shows the requirements in the skill description.

Bottom of the attributes in the skill description, if it helps

[golden silo]

That’s not what I mean then, i currently meet the requirements for the lvl 6 version, but there’s nothing that tells me what’s needed for the higher levels

[glacial palm]

I mean, this is what is shown to me when I mouse over the gem itself in the gem cutting menu.

It shows the level 9 version of the skill, along with its requirements and the changes you would see.

[zenith peak]

I have two precision support gems. Why can't i use them on two different skills

[glacial palm]

Unless some other mechanic overrides it, you may only equip one of each support gem.

[river sky]

could someone please help with ascention 2? ive been trying all night lol

[golden silo]

Spark doesn’t even appear in the upgrade section for me to click it is what I’m saying, so I can’t even create a gem even if I can an uncut one

[glacial palm]

Could you share an image of what that looks like?

[zenith peak]

i have two martial tempo support gems. I wanted to use them on two diff skills. Not Possible?

[dusky burrow]

not possible

[golden silo]

I used up my skill gem anyway so not now

[glacial palm]

Correct. Each support may only be equipped once to your character.

[dusky burrow]

(without specific gemling ascendancy node)

[glacial palm]

Yeah, typed it last time and didn't feel like adding it again 😅

[zenith peak]

what do I do with the extra duplicated

[glacial palm]

Save for another character, share with a friend. Not much else to do with it 😦

[ripe plank]

to the stash or sell to merchant

[robust gulch]

You can use two of the same skill tho. Eg: two cast on freeze , with different support gems

[river sky]

Anyone available to help a noob out?

[zenith peak]

how

[robust gulch]

Craft two, then equip each one

[glacial palm]

Skills though, not supports like you want.

[zenith peak]

How do i craft? I'm in earaly Act 2

[robust gulch]

You learn how to do it at the start of the game

[raw dust]

are the people spamming trial services in global chat legit?

[robust gulch]

🤔

[raw dust]

I have failed like 9 times now

[ripe plank]

he meant engrave from uncut skill gem

[dusky burrow]

we can't say anything about them

[robust gulch]

Yes, engrave, but do not equip them

[glacial palm]

Might want to try #2┃looking-for-group , more likely to find people looking to join groups 😦

[robust gulch]

If you equip one, you cannot create the second

[flint plume]

There's a setting that turns that off

There's a setting that's on by default that prevents you from engraving a skill gem that you already have equipped or don't meet the requirements for. You can turn it off and it'll let you engrave whatever you want.

[zenith peak]

I know how to upgrade normal to rare weapons and armors. But how that works for gems

[ripe plank]

only upgrades for gems are their higher levels

you cant upgrade them to magic or rare like other equipment

oh you actually can improve their quality with orbs and unlock more slots for support gems

[lyric ember]

energy shield is the optimal defensive stat for sorceress right? I shouldnt be focusing on evasion or armor as much?

[flint plume]

Theoretically it depends, but right now for most sorceress builds it's the way to go, yeah

You need lots of int for your skills which is the same stat you need for ES gear, you're on the part o the tree where most of the ES nodes are, and ES in general is just very strong right now

[ripe plank]

but be careful of chaos damage when you are stacking energy shield

[flint plume]

Ideally you do want some other defenses. Like block is very good but you do have to give up some damage for it, and resistances are always essential. If you're not going chaos innoculation then chaos res is also really important

[lyric ember]

looking at wanting to be glass cannon for now since i mostly freeze everything that comes near me and kill it before it thaws

[flint plume]

I wouldn't recommend pure glass cannon in the long run but you can definitely afford to be a bit squishier if you've got good damage and are freezing everything

Freeze can effectively be treated as a form of defense, and it's a very powerful one

[hybrid star]

What kills you isn’t the monster, but what comes after it dies.

[foggy birch]

faxxxxxxxxx

lotte

i like u

u think like me

hope devs change that shit

[rancid sage]

When is the next sale?

[foggy birch]

shitass design

we just had a sale

[flint plume]

Stash tab sale? They're every 3 weeks

[foggy birch]

next 15 days maybe

[flint plume]

There will be sales on other things before then

[hearty sierra]

if your on pc middle mouse or spam click dont hold the button down

[grave crystal]

is there a way to rekill king in the mists, i died at t he same time and lost the perma buff

[ripe plank]

you can try reset location

on pc is ctrl+left click on the location and create new instance or something like that

[steel relic]

Hello all!
Does Incinerate tick more often with added cast speed? Or does it only affect the ramping of stages?

[safe ivy]

Do T1 and T15 have the same drop percentage from exalted and divine?

[sturdy barn]

are completed atlas maps redoable?

[trim turret]

No, it's endless so you keep moving across the map.

[rugged dome]

Is this weapon bad for my lvl 45 monk

[orchid loom]

Does the extra offering from ablation stack buffs? Or do I only get the buffs from one of the spires

[glacial palm]

I'm reading physical damage increase, 5-9 leech, 43 accuracy, 6 life on kill, and light radius

[pine oar]

Can someone please explain what what damage does this boss do and how I can see it please OMFG

[glacial palm]

Not sure about the second to last one, clearly a duration but can't tell what.

[ripe plank]

physical and frost i guess

i mean cold

[pine oar]

what is the fire symbol there for?

[vagrant tinsel]

what he is weak to

and strong against

[pine oar]

great im an ice and shock monk 😦

[ripe plank]

red symobls are exposure grey resistane (i guess 30% but not sure) and gold greater resistance

[glacial palm]

Boss has 3 major attacks, all with wind-ups
(Spoilers because honestly it's fun to learn for some people)

• ||Winds up and shoots ghosts at you, dodge when they throw||
• ||Soul burrows through the ground, exploding up when it gets to you, dodge when it gets close||
• || Soul that comes out of the ground, then lands close to you. Most important to dodge the first, so you're not slowed for the second||

[glacial palm]

Red: Weakness
Grey: Some resistance (iirc)
Gold: High resistance
These are not static, and can be changed based on the exposure/vulnerability you inflict on the boss.

[pine oar]

What I do not understand is I am level 57 and i do nothing to him, I need loot man they need to stop giving me loot for other characters I will go get some resist and try again though thanks.

[rugged dome]

The thing is, im having trouble with mektul boss and my buils is suppose to be lightning and frost, so im kinda worried that my build is bad and i dont know where is the issue and following this build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KCagMOro0g&t=493s

[deft kraken]

that builds amazing

[glacial palm]

I would say not to worry about going back and getting loot. This boss is one of many that are pretty much all avoidable damage 🙂

[ripe plank]

if you are not playin in SSF you can trade with other players

[glacial palm]

Don't feel like you have to go back and farm instead of progressing, but if it's frustrating and you would prefer to come back a little stronger it's also an option.

[burnt junco]

your source of shock is this which creates shocked ground and doesn't care about whether you're doing lightning damage

[pine oar]

I am trying to avoid trading, to see what the real experience and if I tride I might as well RMT cause I have nothing worth giving up lol I have nothing people want

[glacial palm]

I mean, one is a valid in-game mechanic and the other is against TOS

So I would say you probably shouldn't lol

[rugged dome]

This is my main weapon should i look for something better, i dont know when start lookimg for unique items

[ripe plank]

is there any value from increased physical damage? staff do not doing any

[hybrid star]

that 63% increased physical damage is completely useless

[foggy birch]

u better say ure in act 1 or some shit

[rugged dome]

alright thanks

[arctic echo]

Do I have to play act 3 again to unlock the boss who gives 30 spirit? This is how my map look after the campaign!

[steel hawk]

you probably need to go through the portal again to get to cruel riverbank then portal back so you are in the present instead of past

[safe lance]

You get total 100 from acts btw, what are you at rn?

[arctic echo]

On the act 3 cruelty to he boss is available! But I’m at 70 spirit after the campaign so I’m surely miss him in normal act 3! I tried everything 😔

[trim turret]

You don't look for uniques. You look for better rares. And yeah, if your skills use/convert physical damage that isn't very good at all, because it has no physical damage.

[lyric ember]

can you not change the stat node passive points to other stats at will or do you have to respec?

[ripe plank]

you have to respec

[wide tapir]

LFH with ACT 3. Lvl 42 Ranger (no ascendency but working for deadeye) Friend group not helping. Please give assistance haha

[ripe plank]

try #2┃looking-for-group

[wide tapir]

oh my bad

thank you

[zenith peak]

Can Mercenary use Premeditation support gem

[ripe plank]

yes

[magic aspen]

Is 38 percent chance for rarity items a good item to wear on cruel?

[ripe plank]

damm never saw such a high value on that stat xD

[magic aspen]

What does this mean? I will find more blues?

[ripe plank]

blues and yellows yes

[steel hawk]

it's 2 separate rolls added

[magic aspen]

Really? I just hit a upgrade orb and that’s what it rolled

@steel hawk

[zenith peak]

How do i know which skill can use it?

[steel hawk]

I have a ring and helmet with similar 50% on ring and 45% on helmet

[magic aspen]

Is that kind of stat I want in this game? @steel hawk

[steel hawk]

if you you inspect the item you would see

[sturdy barn]

anyone encounter river drakes keep on reviving?

[steel hawk]

it's rare with 2 stat lines so unless you used orb of annulment it's 2x same affix

[sturdy barn]

3 drakes keep reviving in the same place

[hybrid star]

there's a rare monster reviving them

[magic aspen]

@sturdy barn it is

[steel hawk]

it's not super important but it's good to have

[magic aspen]

What should I do with it? Add more exalted orbs?

[ripe plank]

when you creating support gem chose skill that interest you and on the bottom you have to unclick show recomended gems.

[magic aspen]

@steel hawk

Should I upgrade it more? I mean

[sturdy barn]

i see

[steel hawk]

if you want it's not a super high roll on the resist and the double rarity is good but still lowish rolls if you can work it in without hurting your dps or defensives go for it

[magic aspen]

Do you mean add exalted orbs? Or increase quality? @steel hawk

[steel relic]

Hello all!
If i get this keystone, will all skills now scale with fire dmg?

[half niche]

i have question, if reset season its lose all items & character?

[stark lynx]

I assume you mean new leagues, your old stuff would remain in Standard league, but new league would be fesh start for everyone playing that league

[craggy gyro]

Can someone help walk me through the trade thing

[trim turret]

Life and resists are more important.

[stark lynx]

Ie all of the EA chars and items are bound to EA league and will contanimate actual Standard when that launches with full release of the game

[trim turret]

If you mean str/dex/int you can change which stat they give when you respec.

[unkempt spire]

anyone got any advice on which venom draught to take? in my second playthrough

[glacial palm]

Usually class and build dependent.

[craggy gyro]

Trade is irritating to use on console

[trim turret]

Whichever one you feel like you need. Whatever you don't take can just be made up in other places.

[half niche]

thanks

[rugged dome]

damn i change the waepon and indeed my build doesnt feel like azz anymore, now im using this:

[steel relic]

Hello all!
For incinerate, will adding cast speed increase my dps? Or will it only increase the speed at which ill hit stage 8?

[hearty sierra]

is charge staff ability counted as projectile?

[trim turret]

Does the gem have the projectile tag on it?

[edgy jacinth]

Is it pointless to farm in cruel act 1? Or when’s the truly best time to start really farming?

[hearty sierra]

yup

[edgy jacinth]

I know endgame is where it’s at but is there a certain point where things are dropping well enough.

[hearty sierra]

no wait it doenst

[craggy gyro]

This stun aoe combo is perfect specifically for end of act2 rn

[trim turret]

Not really. If you are able to clear content and move forward, don't really need to farm.

[craggy gyro]

But I’d change it up if anything else

[edgy jacinth]

Okay thanks!

[trim turret]

I'm not sure and didn't want to give you bad info.

[hearty sierra]

have magic find high enough and you get drops constantly like i do

1 rare just dropped me 2 legendaries and a nice ring

[steel relic]

all good! incinerate is a weird skill with it scaling with hits as well as ignite

[craggy gyro]

game too laggy what do I do everything’s freezing mid combat act 2

Ps5

Welp….. shoulda stuck with armor and evasion instead of evasion energy shield for my witch hunter 🫤

[lyric ember]

Anyone have a level 5/6 [Skill level, not character level] Ice Staff for Sorc with +2 to ice spells or spell skills

[trim turret]

Are you on a wired connection or wifi?

[trim turret]

Not a trade channel. Use trade site for that.

[lyric ember]

I do not have a trade channel listed on my left side.

[glacial palm]

There isn't one for a reason.

That is also why the trade site was recommended.

[lyric ember]

Oh I missed site.

Alright, thanks anyway.

how do i farm better gear, im still stuck with a staff i got from level 6 because these shopkeeps never have anything good. I cannot get a better staff and orb roll i use is bad. Is there a meta for getting decent gear?

[ripe plank]

if you dont want to trade you can equip stuff with increase rarity of items found and pray

[lyric ember]

thats been my method haha, im around 30% across all gear, and cannot seem to get gear with higher percentages for that either

[ripe plank]

unlucky. On what level are you rn btw?

[lyric ember]

Having the same problem with my level 18 warrior. we are severely ball n chained by our gear rng

I'm still wearing armor from level 2 because its the only boots I've found this entire run with +% magical gear

[ripe plank]

you can try gamble :D

[lyric ember]

good point, have you had any luck with it?

[ripe plank]

sometimes there is some good drop

however there is limit to how much you can gamble

[lyric ember]

per level or per character or time frame?

[ripe plank]

depends on how many bosses you defeated

[rugged dome]

Who is better ??

[ripe plank]

try equip both and check diffrence on dps in the skills tab

[rugged dome]

oks

[ripe plank]

also right have already quality so left has still potential

[steel relic]

Hello all!
If i were to curse an enemy with Flamability, will this stack with exposure from incinerate?

[zenith peak]

When I use Pecision on this buff, it appears inactive.

Why?

[rugged dome]

cause of spirit

u need more

[ripe plank]

precision has additional reservation of spirit

[rugged dome]

and some gems required a plus of spirit

[zenith peak]

How do I get Spirits

[foggy birch]

by spiriting

[rugged dome]

misions, armour amulets

the fastest way is to trade a armour and a amulet with good spirit

[zenith peak]

ok thanks

[ripe plank]

by killing unique bosses like that one on freythorn

[rugged dome]

that too

[ripe plank]

or you can equip sceptre

[rugged dome]

i dont know why but that doenst work for me

[ripe plank]

i guess its not

[steel relic]

Thank you for responding 🙂
Wouldnt they stack as the curse is not exposure?
Curse + Exposure ?

[hasty light]

What is this highlight for and how do you do it?

[ripe plank]

isnt it your filters?

[craggy gyro]

Is there a way for warrior to retain and gain flasks during act 2 Jamanra

They fixed the trails bug!

[timber saddle]

I'm guessing this little "flash" when I hit sometimes is the indicator for scoring a critical hit but I'm at 20% and it feels like I should hit way more than I do. Do monsters got like a resistance against it that I don't know about?

[ripe plank]

some magic monster have crit resistance

[timber saddle]

It just feels like I never crit 😦

[glacial palm]

Ow. The Temple of Kopec actually hurts this time around lol

Normal I was literally standing under the eye with no damage.

[shadow belfry]

is the best way to get the stats you need on a wepon through trading?

[outer sparrow]

I keep getting one shotted by Silverfist 😩

[tribal goblet]

[covert atlas]

No, can only respec the nodes on the one you picked

[foggy birch]

no

[foggy birch]

ye pretty much

the fastest way

[shadow belfry]

any guide on how to trade?

[tawdry terrace]

I got so frustrated when I first fought it, my warrior struggled so much

[foggy birch]

wdym just go to the trading site

lol

[shadow belfry]

whats the site? lol i have no idea about this

[foggy birch]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/EDQkqeVT5

[shadow belfry]

[lyric ember]

gambled a literal perfect staff except its fire not ice

[shadow fjord]

Anyone have a Uncut Spirit Gem Level 8

[opaque stratus]

Does armour affect ES or they are both independence?

[regal warren]

You can possibly pair it with a unique glove, iirc it changes fire type to ice type nvm it’s the opposite

[lyric ember]

looking for the ice primary spell anyway

[foggy birch]

ES gets protected by armor

so i guess no?

[opaque stratus]

[foggy birch]

yo items went up wtff

[drowsy wing]

How do I make stormwave shoot 3 projectiles?

Like 3 waves

[foggy birch]

[foggy birch]

[ripe plank]

nice! i love gamble

[flint epoch]

Any news on the loot filter for consoles? O-O

[glacial palm]

I'm actually confused how that would work.

[flint epoch]

Just a proper color-coding on the loot would be great

Like i can only imagine how much currency i missed having to sort thru this

[outer sparrow]

Man I can imagine. I'm playing a monk but at least I have a touch of range. I just had to focus on avoiding more than hitting.

[outer sparrow]

#RichCharacterProblems

[flint epoch]

Like 10 screens of that

[flint epoch]

Like 99% of the loot were useless xD just got a 10x breach roll

1 divine thru all that

[glad kelp]

Why does it take away hp when killing mobs?

[ripe plank]

maybe some mobs have thorns

or you have equiped some strange piece of armor

[normal goblet]

ive explored every inch of the keth sanctum for the act 2 quest city of seven waters and havent found the boss

[glad kelp]

what stat does that do?

[ripe plank]

i dont know. Only guessing at this point

[glacial palm]

There are a lot of things we would have to guess at.

[glad kelp]

?

[ripe plank]

leech is oposite. this is lifesteal. It heals you

[dark talon]

Is the Flameskin Ritual. in the Azok Bog permanent?
It doesn't appear on the map as one of the "things" you can do, unlike the boss?

[oak solar]

do secondary weapon slots grant you their buffs if you have them equipped but dont use them?

[glad kelp]

There are no more similar stats in gear

[glad kelp]

takes 100-150 hp to play is difficult

[ripe plank]

its a lot

is it on every monster?

[glad kelp]

Yes That's the problem.

That's my consolation.

[glacial palm]

I don't believe so. It appears as a buff, and no longer appears when we leave the zone.

[crude vessel]

vesselgear is a pos if anyone comes across him

Why when my stash is open when i stash it goes on ground

I just lost 6 exalts

[ripe plank]

sorry i have no idea why :/

[crude vessel]

Man that just fd my night up

[outer sparrow]

What's a breach roll?

[outer sparrow]

Yeah Ive seen where the button to stash is bugged and just drops instead lol

[crude vessel]

Ya I don’t get it! I’m freakin looking clear at my gem stash tab n it freakin goes on the floor in a group of ppl

I already don’t have anything n dude says thx

I hope all his hardcores live short lives? lol

[rain pagoda]

can someone price this for me ? hard to tell when so many post on poe trade and don't sell

[sudden vault]

I'm confused by flask "x% Increased Charges Gained." Increased charges from what? It still says consumes 10 of 75. I've have expect the 75 to be higher from this.

[rugged dome]

What is better gold cloves cache or mysterious gold cache??

[woven star]

2 dollars and some sloppy toppy

[harsh pendant]

is 60exalts enough for Buying Gear to start mapping

[woven star]

No

[ripe plank]

gained

[sudden vault]

gained from what? I still get 75 from the well.

like any stock flask

[harsh pendant]

really I need more for good gear for tier1 dam

[ripe plank]

you gaining charges after killing enemies

[sudden vault]

oh. well that fact is what I was missing. 🙂

Thanks

[ripe plank]

np

[woven star]

Get to farming

[harsh pendant]

how much I need

And where should I farm

[vagrant tinsel]

wdym 60ex is more than he needs

he can buy every gear piece for 1ex and be good till like tier 8-10

[zenith peak]

projectile and attack speeds are diff right?

[vagrant tinsel]

easily

[harsh pendant]

Really?

[woven star]

I'm just playing I have no clue what I'm talking about

I'm level 15 bro

[flint wind]

Jep I call that the shopping tour

You do that once you complete the campaign

[ripe plank]

yes. Attack speed is how fast you attack and projectile speed is how fast projectile travel

[vagrant tinsel]

yes just look up a trading guide on yt to show u how to look for what u need

[harsh pendant]

Yeah im doing act 3 cruel right now

I got the 60 exalts by selling a pretty good jewel I got

[flint wind]

If you are struggling you can consider buying a weapon for 1 ex right now.

Helped me a ton in act 3 cruel

[harsh pendant]

very lucky

[woven star]

What jewel

[flint wind]

And then buy a new one once you are done

[harsh pendant]

I got this right now And im doing pretty well

[harsh pendant]

a rare emerald

[vagrant tinsel]

ur good

how much did u buy that for ?

[harsh pendant]

The good stat was I think the +10% boost to your quiver

[harsh pendant]

I bought it for 1exalt Then rolled a second one on it Then added the runes quality and val.

But I bought it right at lvl 45

and im 65 and its still working

so Ill say not bad

[vagrant tinsel]

yea ur fine

[foggy birch]

sheeeeeeeeeeesh

[vagrant tinsel]

u are on a good path just keep doing what u been doing till now

[foggy birch]

how much did u paid

[harsh pendant]

@foggy birch

[foggy birch]

damn thats a steal ngl

with the quality in it?

[cursive radish]

how do i know what item is worth selling

[harsh pendant]

Okay sir

[harsh pendant]

no I added that

[foggy birch]

that weapon will carry u through the acts easy

[harsh pendant]

Yeah i got it at 45 and im still using it in act3 cruel

[vagrant tinsel]

by knowing what stats are valuble and u have to learn that

[foggy birch]

get sidekick

if u wanna check prices

of ur items

rlly good

im using rn

[harsh pendant]

Look at what stats sound good check the item if it seems good And also see if it seems like a high roll on the stat

I can't lie though getting a jewel that sold for 60ex in act 2 cruel kinda wild ngl

[foggy birch]

i made soo much money through jewels aswell

sakhamas is a money printer ngl

[cursive radish]

thank you

[cursive radish]

thank you

[harsh pendant]

Is it worth doing lower tier ones?

or like lower lvl ones

[foggy birch]

ah not really

cuz the gear drop is shit

i would say max 10lvl below urs

[harsh pendant]

okay

Okay boys welp time for me to enter the apex of fate

[lavish fossil]

anyone able to help with viper napuatzi? Can’t beat her

[dawn sandal]

why I am not getting block chance from tree - only from shield

[ripe plank]

check block chance on C

[dawn sandal]

it's same

when I unequip shield its 0
even if I learn many in passives

[dark vapor]

can somebody help me kill ekbab boss pls

[harsh pendant]

Its 0 without shield because you can't block without a shield

and passive skills wont show on item cards

[daring night]

If you don’t have any other mods changing the block chance, then equipping the shield and takes that single node should put your block chance at 40%*1.12=44.8%.

If you mouse over that node in tree and hold Shift key, it should also show a small comparison.

[chilly geyser]

Hey all question, is accuracy rating only for Melee or do casters need it too?

[harsh pendant]

I thought it was for bows.

[chilly geyser]

@harsh pendant thanks

[lyric ember]

how do i find the shop to buy stuff from other players in the game

[foggy birch]

trading site u mean?

[lyric ember]

i heard there was some kind of in game trading system on a large scale

[ripe plank]

there is a website

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/EDQkqeVT5

[foggy birch]

if u use spells u dont need it

[daring night]

Only for Attack skills. It’s not limited to melee. Range attack skill also check accuracy. You can check the skill tag sunder the skill name.

[chilly geyser]

@daring night Thanks

[lyric ember]

Okay, I really want a Teryn's Shiver Gelid Staff [Unique]. It has a level requirement of three. If its dropped from a level 3 monster, will it still grant the level 6 primary spell?

[lusty hinge]

Currency exchange

The large trading is trade website

[lyric ember]

thank you

[rose tartan]

is thorn damage considered a hit?

[foggy birch]

yes?

[harsh pendant]

You realize that will probably Cost A LOT right

[daring night]

The skill level on staves (including unqiue) depends on its item level when dropped. Higher item level will have higher build in skill level

You also can’t level it up as the level is decided at the drop time.

If you still want to use the same staff at higher level, what you can do is to find another one that drops from higher level monsters or buy a new one if you want to trade

[sly mantle]

looks like that is 1 divine orb 😮

[foggy birch]

u just ruined his shopping

[sly mantle]

how so?

[lyric ember]

was going to try to farm the staff myself

[foggy birch]

he prob though he can buy that unique cheap

for liek 1 ex

[lyric ember]

because i cannot afford these things

[ripe plank]

gl

[harsh pendant]

I looked and for a lvl 3 requirement one Is like 1 div

And only like 8 are forsale

[amber crypt]

F draven btw

[dark vapor]

hey, could anybody spare a level 8 spirit gem?👉🏽👈🏽

[merry echo]

where can i talk to support? i might have permanently lost 2 ascension points because i opened the map while in the ascendency allocation screen

[eager basin]

there's a lv6 one for 7ex, though I dunno if they'll respond

[harsh pendant]

you put in ur ascension points in the center of the passive tree

Hit P and look at the center

You can also respec them like normal points

[merry echo]

i finished the trial but while i was in the allocation screen at the alter before i placed my 2 points i opened the map and exited out the screen. now i cant interact with the alter

[harsh pendant]

yeah you don't need the alter

Hit P

In the center of ur passive tree it should have something like this

Looks different for each class

[merry echo]

holy sh i

im stupid af

[harsh pendant]

You can also respec them at anytime the same way as passive points by talking to the hooded one just with spending a little gold

[merry echo]

thank you bro

[harsh pendant]

np

The alter is just there to Pick ur ascension and to click on it to add the points. but you then spend um like passives

[merry echo]

i was stressing so much

[harsh pendant]

You good

Even if the game was dumb and you needed the alter they wouldnt be gone forever since you can get stuff to redo the trials for loot if you want. And you will do them more for the later passives aswel

But for the most part game isnt dumb

[merry echo]

i thought i had bricked my character and everything

goddamn

[harsh pendant]

nahh

[merry echo]

anyway thank you so much turtle have a great night homie

[edgy jacinth]

How many rares y’all keep to sell. Game makes me feel like a hoarder lol

[harsh pendant]

Have fun

[harsh pendant]

I personally disenchant most of them I got like 1 normal prem "not quad" full of stuff forsale

[lapis gale]

whhere is this

[harsh pendant]

But like hoarding isnt really that great since most item drops wont sell. Disenchanting them alot of them time is better for regals

[harsh pendant]

Act 3 is that?

[lapis gale]

i went to town and didnt see her. yes a3

[daring night]

0 Play SSF

[harsh pendant]

walk down the ramp by the well and hooded one

[edgy jacinth]

Walk down the stairs by the hooded one

Down the pyramid thing

In between him and the well

[grave crystal]

should i use soul cores just for currency exchange

[lapis gale]

ooohh thank you 🙂

[harsh pendant]

U good homie

[edgy jacinth]

Took me a minute to find that out too lol

[stuck vigil]

can some one help me with something? i think its a bug...

the game says that i dont have enough spirit for blasphemy but i do have 60 max spirit. at the same time my current spirit is on 30 and i dont know why.

None of my equipped items nor skills use spirit

[harsh pendant]

doesnt grim feast use spirit?

[stuck vigil]

is not activated

[timid lynx]

Happened to me yesterday, your support gems might add to the base spirit required

[stuck vigil]

if i do my spirit goes to 0

[stuck vigil]

what? omg i hate my class

[edgy jacinth]

Yeah i did enfeeble as an aura and it cost 60

[timid lynx]

try to remove support gems and check if it activates

[stuck vigil]

omg thanks @timid lynx u were right

[harsh pendant]

what class?

[timid lynx]

Mine had 1 supp gem were adding +10 spirit required xD

[stuck vigil]

witch

[harsh pendant]

ahh

[timid lynx]

Glad to be help

[harsh pendant]

Im playing monk right now So i didn't know that I got like a 30 aura 30 aura and a 60 aura and my supports don't effect it

[stuck vigil]

blood witch is already so weak. yet every step i go through the game i feel myself weaker

[harsh pendant]

I heard since they fixed it blood witch is really good

[timid lynx]

I was planning to go Blood Witch. Is it weak?

[stuck vigil]

i hope it gets better then, cause for now it does a HUGE ammount of damage... on itself

[harsh pendant]

I heard it was good

[stuck vigil]

is not that simple, the class need some real attention at all time

so u dont kill yourself in the process of casting skills

[harsh pendant]

Currently the 2nd highest lvl hardcore player is on blood witch and the highest lvl hardcore ssf is also on bloodwitch

[timid lynx]

I see

[harsh pendant]

So it can't be that bad

[stuck vigil]

the things that i trully dislike. Is the fact that most minon builds are VERY weak and the price u pay to cast your skills dont return as damage (not enough at least)

[timid lynx]

That gave me hope ty

[harsh pendant]

Well Minons are just better for infernal

[stuck vigil]

ok... is not "bad" its a class with very very few speciific builds and most of them are weird

[eager basin]

are blood witch players taking blood mage

[scenic salmon]

what

[stuck vigil]

?

[harsh pendant]

yeah its not the most diverse but Its still good. But like if you wanna do minions Infernalist is just flat out better

[eager basin]

blood magic sorry lol

[tepid tapir]

idk where to ask this but, i can't login to the POE2 trade site anymore through my steam because my steam thinks im logging in through a city that im not even in. Its blocking me being able to login to steam because of that. Im not sure how to change my IP address so its correct

[eager basin]

that's a steam thing not a poe thing

and usually logging in from a different location just prompts steam guard, so I dunno what you're doing lol

[dawn tartan]

noob here currently in act 2 cruel. Is it worth trading a divine orb for 100+ ex orbs for other trades?

[gentle parrot]

At that stage, Id save any divine

Youre already well near maps/early end game

New player in base game act 2. Is divine treasure of Keith a good farm for gear/levels? I'm struggling with the boss inside of the giant's area with the eye lasers. I mixed issue of lacking damage in survivability (I know early game survivability can't be fixed). I'm currently running a 220+ Widowhail and quiver with a couple of flats

[thorny laurel]

hel[ I cant open jiquanis machinarium anymore after tryna go back to it to get fire resistance

[plush mantle]

yes, 100+ exalts are a lot more useful towards getting upgrades than a divine is. That'll change later, but there's nothing you should really be spending a whole divine on right now

[harsh pendant]

So @stuck vigil @scenic salmon What they meant with talking about the bloodmage They basically wanted to ask if someone was using The blood magic keystone skill any class can use As A lot of people tried it early on for bloodmage and they found it makes you do double ur alraedy fairly high self damage

[chilly stump]

where i can buy map t15

tft

[river lynx]

How do people get 2 of the same support gems like “martial tempo” for example on different skills? It only lets me use 1

[harsh pendant]

I noticed someone was selling them For 2ex each In the trade chat in game

[chilly stump]

gemligon

[harsh pendant]

I believe Thats only a mercenary thing

[rustic venture]

I thought passive tree was the same for all classes, but TIL the early part of it changes based on class

[harsh pendant]

Thats like the whole thing for there one acendency

[harsh pendant]

It is the same u just start at a different point

[rustic venture]

no, some of the minion nodes for witch dont exist for sorcerer

[heady sphinx]

Hey guys, i got abit of a bug going on i think, my mate killed the queen of filth while i was afk and in the encampment and when i came back i ported to the boss room picked up the idol quest item, and then proceded to open the door to the Temple of Kopec but it seems the door has now bugged out, at first when i clicked on the door it said something along the lines of that my quest state is not up to doing that but my quest says to enter the temple of kopec underneath the treasure hunter encampment, i reloaded my game and now the door is open but nothing to click on to go through the door, anyone able to help me?

[harsh pendant]

You just need to go up on the tree to the witch area of the tree

the tree never changes just the starting point does

[river lynx]

I’ve seen people do it for the comet gem

[harsh pendant]

as far as im aware you can only have two of the same supports if ur a gemling mercenary

Like there isnt a way for like a witch or anyone to use 2 of the same

But there are plenty of good options So it shouldnt impact that much and it encourages the use of more then just meta gems

[harsh pendant]

ok gimme a moment to explain this

[eager basin]

iirc there's a unique that allows that as well

[harsh pendant]

Didnt know that

[gaunt bluff]

Is it possible to buy polcirkeln sapphire ring for 1 exalted

[frank frigate]

where is this tomb of the consort bruh ive looked everywhere

[eager basin]

probably not

[pliant horizon]

noob question here. I have seen many post of people carrying for currency etc. Is this legal?

[rustic venture]

bugged mapgen i think

[eager basin]

yes

[pliant horizon]

shot thanks.

[rustic venture]

as long as its in game currency

[frank frigate]

ok yeah ill restart

[frank frigate]

there are 3 up on the trade website rn for 1 exalt

[pliant horizon]

so I guess a upfront pmt and completion pmt done to avoid scamming?

[gaunt bluff]

Yeah I messaged them but I don’t think they want to sell

[thin surge]

Can any help or give advice on how to beat Act 2 main boss? Im using the monk lvl 34

[eager basin]

usually too much effort, some people take upfront and some people take post-completion depending on service and where it's being hosted

[daring night]

Equip multiple bell skill gems, put down all bells at boss

[eager basin]

trade servers like tft are generally more reliable

[scenic salmon]

People usually wait to the second ascendency to click the node

[thin surge]

What are bell skill gems?

[rustic venture]

lightning res

[scenic salmon]

You didn't see it in the active skill options

[frank frigate]

wait how do you reset the map i restarted my game but its still the same map

[frank frigate]

surely im not softlocked

[eager basin]

shift click the door or waypoint

[rustic venture]

on controller you could hold a and it gave an option to create a new instance. not sure on keyboard

[daring night]

Tempest Bell

[frank frigate]

thank youu i got it <3

[harsh pendant]

Ok so the passive tree Is divided into 6 subsections Shown here "don't mind the sloppy ms paint lines" Each secion will always have the Same skills in them no matter what. And you can always go to different ones. but the place may change based on class Since what ever class you play as will show at the Top for you. So the top of the tree u are looking at Is for witch the witch section and for sorc the sorc section There is nothing stopping you from spending points to get to the Other classes areas but you don't start there since each classes sections Are just meant to be baseline things the devs deem to be Good and useful for the class Warrior armor witch minion sroc spells so on

Does that make sense now

[scenic salmon]

They don't have the same passives though

Promise

[heady sphinx]

Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

[rustic venture]

the witch does not have access to the Path of WInter skill. Anywhere on the skill amazon

[eager basin]

this was true in poe1 but I think this is actually wrong in poe2, they've made minor changes to each class's starting area -- presumably because there are going to be 12 classes for only 6 starts

[scenic salmon]

If someone could go inside and teleport you with them
Maybe a kind soul on #2┃looking-for-group
I think that might work

[eager basin]

seems to be only the area enclosed by the attribute highway at the beginning

[harsh pendant]

do you mean oath of winter?

[rustic venture]

No, path of winter

[scenic salmon]

I'm curious to know all the parts that change
It seems to be one or two wheels top

[eager basin]

just parts of this section as far as I can tell

or equivalent for other classes I'd assume

[rustic venture]

this makes a lot of sense from a design perspective

[eager basin]

every class has this section surrounded by attributes next to their starting point

[scenic salmon]

It's not great for gemling with summoner ambitions

[eager basin]

I don't think you'd usually want to go all the way to another class's starting point anyway though

[glad bison]

hello everyone started playing 2 days ago and i have the issue of my game going into a paused state every time i stop moving(i use WASD) and it will stay like that until i either spam ESC or spam move smth in my INV. would appreciate any help if possible on how to stop this from happening

[eager basin]

more restrictive if you wanted to play sorc summoner or something

[harsh pendant]

yeah thats odd that some notables are different

[meager galleon]

the starting nodes on the tree are different

for different classes

[balmy ginkgo]

hi guys what is the point of Greymake Brimmed Helm?

[rustic venture]

a lot of uniques are uselss

[harsh pendant]

To turn into an orb of chance?

[humble orbit]

Discord stopped working on pc so sorry for mobile pic. Whats wrong with my monk at the end of act 2? Im in dreadnought and dying every minute, dudes with shields takes as many time to kill as rare monsters it feels like i stopped doing dmg even though I just upgraded my quarterstaff. Also they hit like a truck like 1/3 hp in a hit

[meager galleon]

so that you dont have to care about stats in act1

[rustic venture]

are you lacking damage or dying too fast? your ehp is very low. my witch has more at the end of act 1.

[harsh pendant]

You got like no armor and quite low evasion low hp But we can't really Say much for ur damage unless we can see the gems tab

[ripe plank]

you have low defensive stats in my opinion. Only 51 shield 6% armor and 22% evasion

[meager galleon]

resistances could also be a little better at the end of act2

[harsh pendant]

I got worse rez at act 3 cruel

[rose hearth]

Resistances are fine IMO but 22% evasion is rough

A lot of Phys dmg on the Dreadnaught

[meager galleon]

but you get -10 res after each act, so you are gearing against a lot bigger penalty

[harsh pendant]

The hp no armor and real low evasion isnt great

[heady sphinx]

soo no one has any idea that might help me?

[harsh pendant]

I know lol

[harsh pendant]

nope

[rose hearth]

There isn't as much ele damage during the campaign, especially compared to poe1

I don't tend to feel the need to get that much until much later

Physical mitigation on the other hand

[heady sphinx]

what would be best way to contact GGG staff or admin?

[humble orbit]

I feel like I entered hard mode once I got to dreadnaught as I flew through other zones. Here are my gems and weapon.

[rose hearth]

You've definitely got the right weapon set equipped?

Weapon looks pretty good

[harsh pendant]

Ur damage seems fine the staff seems good

the issue is probably just dying so fast with low Hp evasion armor and ES

[desert otter]

yeah the dreadnought is like hell when you first get there. Idk what happened with the difficulty try stormwave skill as a monk

[daring night]

That’s a pretty good leveling staff. If you lacking damage, put in another Tempest Bell

[rose hearth]

I can imagine low evasion and hp is leading to big stunlocks and getting killed very fast

[harsh pendant]

Personally as monk I was just able to Bruteforce Face fk every campaign boss so far just killing them faster then they could me So Idk

[daring night]

You can use multiple Bells at the same time

[humble orbit]

Ye im getting stunlocked a lot, never happened before also

[rustic venture]

yeah your dmg looks good. just look for stuff to increase evasion and hp or es. the mob rush in that zone is pretty stupid. just have to suffer through it

[modest thicket]

question so I was going through chaos trial and it said like 4/10 but then just ended lol?

[harsh pendant]

You don't get that till later

[humble orbit]

Will check for better gear with more hp and evasion, thanks

[rose hearth]

Yeah, Dreadnaught can be rough. There's a lot of ranged phys

[desert otter]

ah shit, idk when you were able to get that skill, sorry

[rustic venture]

and is ice strike freezing quickly? that can also help a lot with survivability

[harsh pendant]

you get that at like act 3

[rose hearth]

A mistake I see fairly often resulting in low evasion/armour is because people don't upgrade bases

They'll keep rare items for a long time because.. rare

[harsh pendant]

Like he don't even get tempest or charge staff in act 2

[rose hearth]

But often a newer base with just blue stats is better

You get a LOT more Eva/armour/es

[meager galleon]

emailing their support

[harsh pendant]

Not me who used the same body for nearly 40 lvls in the early acts ;-;

[eager basin]

ghostwrithe users where

[harsh pendant]

I didnt use that I had the unique drop that gave ms at full hp

[eager basin]

the unique

how descriptive

[harsh pendant]

I hit enter by mistake

I don't remember the name of it but it gave a lot of evasion and move speed at fullhp

ooo almost 4am time to take a 2 hour nap

[modest thicket]

I’m using one rn

[thin surge]

Thank you, i just beat him. I didn’t know i could summon 2 bells.

[foggy birch]

u can even summon 3 bells

[thin surge]

How?

[foggy birch]

u can bell that bitch as much as u want to

[scenic salmon]

There is an option in menu to disable recommend skill gems
Then you can pick bell three times and murder them

[open sleet]

In act 2 cruel i try finish this quest many time:
Is something wrong with it?

[glad grove]

It shouldnt show, yeah.
There is nothing to look for in act 2 cruel traitors passage.

The items you need for your 3rd ascendancy trial drop naturally. No guaranteed drops for them.

[open sleet]

ok tks

[foggy birch]

apparently this got patched

some folks were saying it today

[glad grove]

Havent seen it mentioned in any of the patch notes.

[foggy birch]

so they were spreading fake news.

[scarlet sorrel]

how do you make a trial relic into a rare?

[cursive bluff]

Or they could be misinformed rather than intentionally spreading fake news

[scarlet sorrel]

they can both be true

[foggy birch]

hmmmmmmmmmm

[foggy birch]

no

cant

[scarlet sorrel]

oh there is a tooltip in game that says they can be normal, magice, rare, or unique but maybe thats not currently in the game

[foggy birch]

the fuckk

theyre always blue(magic

[glad grove]

"Relics are craftable. Magic relics can have up to two modifiers. They cannot become rare."

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Relic

[narrow igloo]

how much u think this worth?

[glad grove]

#price-check📉

[foggy birch]

not bad

[narrow igloo]

worthy of 1 div? or nope

[foggy birch]

link me ingame

i can check it for u quick

[glad grove]

Guys

[foggy birch]

🤣

my bad

[rustic turret]

hi guys. i just made a merc. i dont remember i had to bash all the way to clearfell. did GGG change something?

[flint ore]

just got the game looking for a group to run with got no one

[glad grove]

#2┃looking-for-group

[glad grove]

What do you mean with "bash"?

[rustic turret]

i had no weapon. and found nothing all teh way to the clearfell boss

[worthy escarp]

is there a calculator that I can use to help me figure out why this bow with seemingly worse modifiers does double the dps of this other bow

[scenic salmon]

The fuck is written in that bow +3?

[rustic turret]

i remembered the first npc at the start would give us something to use. no?

[glad grove]

You should get a guaranteed crossbow drop at the beginning to be able to use the skills you get.
Maybe you got a lootfilter on that hides items of that rarity?

[foggy birch]

link pics

in chat

[cold cargo]

can u invite a person to the final asc 3 boss?

[rustic turret]

GOSH thanks! i got stupid. lol. lootfilter was on

[glad grove]

Jup.

[cold cargo]

like fight the boss?

because im going in a good spot till no energy shield came

im pretty much cooked

[glad grove]

Yes. every boss can be fought coop.

[twin gyro]

So I'll looking at the wiki and it says bleed damage by passes energy shield but bleed can only be applied by damage directly to life? What's the point of letting it bypass energy shield then?

[cold cargo]

in trials just clearing things

[glad grove]

Oh, you mean trials.

That works too if you "pause" the trial in the last room before the boss and then invite and enter with the other person.

I dont believe it works mid boss fight.

[worthy escarp]

on second look toxic growth is doing way more but I still don't understand why gas arrow is doing so much less

seems like the left should do more?

double projectile and +2 to skills

[hybrid star]

right has way more raw damage

[worthy escarp]

is raw damage just more important than skills

[hybrid star]

usually, for attack skills

[glad grove]

Right bow has nearly double the base dps.
Would probably lean right bow.

[tacit horizon]

Is the restart patch going to reset our characters?

[glad grove]

Nope

[tacit horizon]

Wew

Was getting nervous

[glad grove]

See #old-game-news

[scenic salmon]

It's all about the journey no need to be nervous

||and other lies||

[fading roost]

Does a reset mean all progress gear and all that would be reset?

[cold cargo]

im on the final boss in asc3 ive failed 5x

[glad grove]

Look like 5 messages above yours.

[cold cargo]

by anychance someone can come and help kill it?

[worthy escarp]

thank you

[fading roost]

I don't know if realm reset meant a total wipe or not

[glad grove]

Can ask in #2┃looking-for-group. Or you just delay your 3rd ascendancy trial until your build is stronger.

[shut abyss]

it's a server restart, nothing is getting wiped

[fading roost]

Alright, thanks for the clarification

[gleaming prism]

first time playing soon. what is the best build right now?

[west field]

Yeah... I love PoE2

But I don't know a lot about it's systems. What should I build towards?

First char :D

[scenic salmon]

Open the skill menu
Read the skills until one particularly inspires you

[west field]

non really do. I want a minion / chaos build

[honest saddle]

what do i do with the cauldron?

[scenic salmon]

Want a guide
Or some general pointers

[west field]

Hmm. that one.

[west field]

general pointers

[quasi nexus]

soo now there is decent builds out? poe2 playable?

[scenic salmon]

First we are going to need the minion skill that deals chaos DMG
Second minions aren't you
So nodes that don't mention your allies/minions are useless
No matter the minion build is important to max their resistance I believe to make them durable enough

Think about support abilities for your minions there are abilities that increase the chaos DMG enemies take

[quasi nexus]

so whats some good builds

[mental needle]

What do you mean?

[quasi nexus]

coz i cant pl;ay the game if there are no build guides

so i didnt play since it came out

[mental needle]

There have been guides since day one

[quasi nexus]

wasnt detailed enough for me

i need like poe1 style guides

step by step

[glad grove]

Check out maxroll and Zizarans youtube channel.

There are solid and in depth guides there.

[worthy escarp]

is this skill spread alright for poison ranger? Anyone have a good build guide? I'm lvl 38

[quasi nexus]

ye on maxroll now

[glad grove]

Mobalytics also has a bunch, but they vary in quality.

[foggy birch]

mobatrash

[scenic salmon]

Why are we poison yet we avoid every single poison node

[worthy escarp]

I was under the assumption poison scales better with physical/chaos damage on the bow than rushing for the poison nodes first

[scenic salmon]

Fair fair
You have the node for projectile speed giving DMG right?

[worthy escarp]

I'm not sure where that one is

[glad grove]

In the bow cluster in the bottom right of your screenshot

[scenic salmon]

In the bow I believe
