[wary swift]

But I found a wand that boosts all my skill spells by 3 lvls.

[quiet hull]

Just came off a bit sarcastic 🤌🏽

[zenith peak]

When you kill a boss, they shouldn't appear on th emap anymore right?

[wary swift]

?

[quiet hull]

They will be more faded

[regal fjord]

understood but my simple question of "can i reroll vendors" which the answer is clearly a "no" became a 10 minute convo because "you had to be right" or am i mistaken here?

[loud moat]

Hopefully this is an easy question but can anyone confirm that Shaper of Storms the Stormweaver Ascendancy node interacts with non lightning skill gems that have conduction socketed?

[zenith peak]

like this

[storm pagoda]

can skills quality also be increased?

Other than just getting better and better uncut skill gems is there any other upgrade on the skills?

[quiet hull]

You betcha.

Good luck bubba

[quiet hull]

Iirc that one is complete would be yellower if it wasnt

I don't use the map often as only certain bosses provide permanent buffs. And I know which ones to do and not do

[quiet hull]

Yes up to 20%

[storm pagoda]

using what?

[quiet hull]

You can hit inspect and it will tell you what it changes.

[quiet hull]

Gemcutters prism, kinda rare until lategame mapping

You need four for 20% quality

[lyric ember]

is there a sorceress build for fire and ice

[quiet hull]

Probably best to ask in the church of sorcerers section of the discord

Under the Poe build help section

[loud moat]

Hey PayGoals, same thing for my question as well?

[quiet hull]

I don't see your ❓ buddy

[loud moat]

"confirm that Shaper of Storms the Stormweaver Ascendancy node interacts with non lightning skill gems that have conduction socketed?"

[harsh agate]

Game keeps crashing after everyother loading screen or sometimes when I open up my skill menu please help

[quiet hull]

Idk enough about sorcs. You should ask in the church of stormweavers section under Poe build help

[night tendon]

I want to try making my own build without outside advice but it seems incredibly daunting. Is there a good video out there explaining the basics of how to make your own build?

[loud moat]

ty

[quiet hull]

Ingame tooltips. But I'd suggest using advice for a few builds to understand the mechanics of the game. It's pretty complex and then once you have an understanding attempt to make your own

[night tendon]

Advice from build help maybe?

[quiet hull]

But, path of building will be your bestfriend

[quiet hull]

Possibly

[night tendon]

I managed to make a very successful ice monk, but I dont really understand everything I chose, like the crit and charge stacking

So I wanted to make my own to hopefully learn the systems

[foggy birch]

monk 🥶

[sudden chasm]

where do people sell ascendancy carries?

[robust gulch]

:3 when will there be weeb costumes for my characters? :3

[foggy birch]

i hope never

[robust gulch]

😭

[foggy birch]

i dont think poe 1 even had a cosmetic like that released in their entire existence

the devs seem to hate that shit

LMAO

[sour pebble]

china client has some of that

it's pretty wild actually

[nova dove]

does self damage lower honor

like demon form

in trial of sekhemas

[sour pebble]

honor should only be able to be lowered by monsters, traps, and afflictions

at least that's how resolve worked in poe 1 sanctum which is the equivalent mechanic

[zenith peak]

SOme bosses gives you points and armor sets. If I beat them multiple times, would i get it multiple times as well

[timber saddle]

Is it normal to struggle much in this game? I'm at the dreadnought in act 2 and must have died 20 times. Playing monk

[zenith peak]

If you hover over the boss on the map, it shows what you get

[timber saddle]

I love the game but it's just so damn hard

[sour pebble]

not unusual

the trick to dreadnaught when you're new and your character is a bit weak is to dodge backwards every time you see a pack of mobs enter your screen for the first time, since they will do a leaping attack at you

if you have 1 exalted orb, consider upgrading your weapon (i can help u find a good search for that if u want)

[timber saddle]

I mean just in general it feels like I'm weak all the time

Some areas been more easier then others ofc

[sour pebble]

are you playing the ice strike build? everyone says that's the way to go

just freeze everything instantly lol

[timber saddle]

You wouldn't have to follow a build just to be successful?

[junior robin]

Try to use your exalted and get an build update in the trade site, some good cheap leveling items will carry you for couple of levels

[sour pebble]

if you're one of those people who refuses to use a guide then not much i can say lol

is what it is

[sinful ivy]

Can k transfer items between my two characters?

[junior robin]

Yes. Put them in the stadh

Stash

The stash are shared between your chars

[sinful ivy]

Ohk

[junior robin]

At least on pc

[real gust]

can i add support gem sockets to a corrupted skill gem?

[trim turret]

No. Just make sure youre prioritizing resistances and life on gear.n

[devout skiff]

sooo, what items are worth using orb of chance?

[trim turret]

No. That would be busted.

[storm pagoda]

Why can’t i add more mods to this armor? it only has two

[lament stone]

you need to use a regal orb

magic items can only have up to 2 mods

[rustic venture]

does charm apply to the hit that activated it or only after?

[storm pagoda]

@lament stone But my current armor has 4

[lament stone]

thats a hybrid mod and int mod

if you hold alt and look at the sides you can see theyre separate

some mods have multiple lines of text

[storm pagoda]

can it be done on ps5?

ohh you meant this little symbol, you are right in that sense

[real gust]

can i save a build somewhere to switch quickly?

[rustic venture]

no

unless its minor differences which you can achieve with weapon set points

[real gust]

damn ok

[flint hornet]

the build im following requires skills i cant see, is this because they are a different class? do i just have to buy them off market

[rustic venture]

what skill?

there are 3 types of gems - Skill, Support and Spirit. you may be looking for a Spirit "skill" in a Skill gem.

[rocky barn]

Is it possible to trade down atlas maps? I know you can combine 3 T10s into a T11, but can you turn a T11 into a T10?

[flint hornet]

im pathfinder and i need to get despair and grim feast

im high enough lvl for them, im just new to poe2, never played poe1 and cant seem to figure it out

[rustic venture]

grim feast is a Spirit gem skill and in the Witch tab.

[flint hornet]

ah. im being dumb

i can change to different class tabs on the skill menu aha

did not realise

thanks

[rocky barn]

For some reason, I keep collapsing dead in the middle of totally unoccupied landscapes with no enemy in sight when I'm in T12+, I can only assume the plan is farm some currency for better gear (or get a good drop) but that's a bit hard to do when T11 goes fantastic and T12 I have a literal heart attack while walking back to collect loot. Ultimately it's my bad for being a hybrid armor/evasion Merc, but that's a bit more difficult to change

[foggy birch]

i dont think ucan scale down ur maps tier lol

u can maybe trade it

[ionic walrus]

Getting 1 shotted by the whirlwind bird in trial of chaos is a bottom 5 life exeperience

[craggy gyro]

So far flame on witch has been insane compared tk other characters

Good against bosses?

[rocky barn]

I do see there's a hands of wisdom and action variant of my build that goes hard on ES and Evasion instead of hybrid armor and Evasion. Wonder how much gold respecing 110 skill points will run me at level 86

[craggy gyro]

Never really kjow til the end of act 1 and end act 2 thats when skill check hits lol

when i do delirium with juiced map the mirror doesn't pop up

why is that

do i have to do it without instilling the map

[rich merlin]

is merc evasion focus

[dusty canopy]

My abilities won’t work with demon form. I was told to use an arrow to switch between options 1,2, or shapeshifte. I pull up my skill and I don’t have the arrows?

[storm pagoda]

how can i get more stash tabs? I saw elon musk had 99

[rocky barn]

Same way Elon got his account

[storm pagoda]

Also the hideout is only available if you buy founders pack? I bought the 30$ base one, but it asks me to buy the whole 100$ for it

yeah i know he pays and has someone else make accounts for him.. he did that in D4 too. The only annoying thing is that he boasts about being on leaderboards afterwords

[hot elbow]

what does it mean by "not enough space to accept this trade"? it's not allowing me to accept trades

[hybrid star]

clear your inventory

[hot elbow]

oh okay

[storm pagoda]

i don't mind spening money tbh, but i would definitely never buy accounts or have someone else play for me. even if it may be cheaper and faster in the long run, its just not me

[foggy birch]

that elon musk clip him playing poe is funny

bros got exposed

[spice moon]

Hello I have a question and new player. I am not that far yet but just theory crafting right now. If I have Lightning Warp on Cast On Ignite, how does it work? Will it proc when the enemy is in a "culled ready" state?

[ionic folio]

Is there a timer in the trial of sekhema final boss fight?

It was almost dead and i suddenly failed at full health

Now I gotta do the whole thing again???

[rustic venture]

your honor became empty

[dusty canopy]

My equipment gives me spirit, I just started cruel and I only have 60 spirit. Why is my spirit from my equipment not showing?

[rustic venture]

yeah it sucks ass

[terse wadi]

Could be on another weapon

Like slot 2

[dusty canopy]

Yea, I’m an idiot. Thanks for the info

[late wyvern]

Can anyone help me kill the executioner

[terse wadi]

Bro don’t worry I’m like level 90 and it caught me out today

[split spindle]

how do i fix the bug where your weapon passives / stats arent applying? whenever i die i have to resocket every single jewel and restart my game to get the passives to work again, its unplayable without a fix

[dusty canopy]

😆. We will learn together!

[terse wadi]

[wooden lava]

is there a way to recall minions? mine just watched stuck behind some vines while i fought the crowbell in the hunting grounds by myself

[opaque stratus]

Did you kill him?

[late wyvern]

Negative captain

[opaque stratus]

Can I have your ig

[late wyvern]

Sure

[opaque stratus]

[stable nexus]

is it just me or does melee not feel good in POE2?

[paper pelican]

swap weapons and back can respawn them sometimes. if swapping weapons drops your spirit they'll despawn

[junior merlin]

hi guys im having some trouble seeing some of the ground damage zones (like the poison/blood/firebombs/icebombs) but i figured there must be a setting to make them more visible with the amount of visual clutter that is on the screen and i just cant find it, where is it?

[glacial palm]

Just in case the weapon swap thing doessn't work, I can imagine that lowering the number of minions allocated and then putting it back would also respawn them.

[muted dragon]

sadly no such options exists.

[junior merlin]

oh 😦

so do you guys just stand back from all the stuff flooding the screen until a few seconds after all the mobs die or something?

[paper pelican]

no, I just die

[terse wadi]

lol

[paper pelican]

yeah pretty much

[terse wadi]

Just keep your distance

[junior merlin]

same

[vagrant sapphire]

just dont blink, like at all

[royal canopy]

Hi... how to check newest patch note everytime Update done?

[glacial palm]

Since you're here, #old-game-news

[royal canopy]

Thanks

[junior merlin]

how feasible is it to farm late game without interacting with the trade system? i just hit ||cruel|| and im not really having any gear / dps troubles yet but from what friends of mine have said it seems fairly mandatory

[little oar]

Yo guys what does "Faction" Mean?

[glacial palm]

Depends on what you mean for "late game", but the answer is still some form of "feasible"

Solo self-found exists 👍

[dusky burrow]

it's a lot harder. you have to actually understand the game's mechanics and be able to take of advantage of them

[muted dragon]

it is not impossible, but not engaging with trade will significantly slow down your gearing progression.

[little oar]

can anybody help

[muted dragon]

where are you seeing this?

[dusky burrow]

"faction" is not a poe2 term

where did you see that

[glacial palm]

I would venture a guess, but would want to know where it comes from first.

[little oar]

on a website where i can buy items from path of exile 2

its called chaos boost

[muted dragon]

sounds like RMT

[glacial palm]

Purchasing items with actual money is against TOS.

[little oar]

oh what

bruh

[muted dragon]

bannable

[glacial palm]

1. Please don't do it
2. No one here will help you do it.

[little oar]

didnt even know that breh

i thought its like tf2 :c

[glacial palm]

With TF2, you don't have to go to another website and pay them cash for the items. You can do it through the steam market, so it's clearly allowed 😅

[dusty canopy]

If I missed a side quest in normal difficulty can I go back if I went into cruel?

[glacial palm]

Didn't try to do a quest, but the map is still accessible.

[little oar]

yeah but trading websites are allowed

[dusky burrow]

brilliant rmt site, written so bad it loses them a potential customer

[little oar]

didnt know they werent for path of exile breh

[glacial palm]

Much like TF2 encourages trading for cash on their official platform (Steam), PoE encourages their method of trading (non-cash) on their official platform (the website)

[mental quail]

how do you remove the weapon set 2 points to set 1, i dont want it on 2

[glacial palm]

Cash will get you cosmetics in this game, not items

[little oar]

oh ok

only cosmetics then

:V

[dusky burrow]

and stash tabs

[little oar]

whats that

[dusky burrow]

storage space

[glacial palm]

Probably one of the most useful things you can buy, and I didn't mention it lol

[little oar]

oh yeah

stash tabs

[dusky burrow]

and enables trading (idk if forum listing works rn)

[little oar]

time to trade exalted for an iron rune i guess

where do i see incoming trade requests

[foggy birch]

ill give it to u bro

dont trade ex for runes lols

[little oar]

i just completed the trade breh

:V

[foggy birch]

i have like 300 of them in storage

[mossy bough]

If anyone needs help in game im here! 🙂

[open mantle]

anyone able to help me clear the act 3 trials of chaos for the first time

[mossy bough]

DM your IGN

[golden bluff]

Hey could someone help me defeat

[trail zenith]

i did something stupid yesterday... i bought all the spin to win unqiues and while lvling my merc i accidently salvaged my black sun helmet with trash loot... so what helmet do i use now to... cope till i can buy a new black sun? 😦

[stable nexus]

if you complete the campaign on one character, does that allow you to start at a later part of the game for new ones? or do u have to do the campaign again from the very begining

[glacial palm]

Whole campaign again.

[stable nexus]

on normal league or the level after?

[rose kernel]

what level do level 8 spirit gems drop

[torn bough]

hey guys i went to trade and it only lets me select poe 1?

[trim turret]

Whole thing. Campaign will be six acts instead of three twice.

[trim turret]

Change link to /trade2

[proper lion]

where are the patch notes

[trim turret]

On the forums.

[torn bough]

ur a legend ty

[proper lion]

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3686378/page/1 where is the rest of the patch notes

[trim turret]

What do you mean? They're all there on the forums.

[rough thicket]

AGHHH also got the Small Soul Core bug Act 3 - won't let me stick it in the Stone Alter @ Jiquani's Machinarium Map - Anyone know how to resolve this?

I tried dying and also reloading the instance, no luckkkk 😦

[regal fjord]

is there a general idea of how high stats you need to make the campaign easy easy?

[gentle parrot]

Stats dont matter. Itd be the gear you use for campaign

[regal fjord]

well stats like res / hp

[gentle parrot]

Dont matter

Buy/invest in a decently dmged weapom for your class and itll be smooth sailing regardless

[regal fjord]

if i'm dying faster than i can blink it starts to matter

and my weapon is higher than most. just trade site has +3 so idk

[gentle parrot]

Then farm up a boss for any placeholder equips as gear if youre stuck

[regal fjord]

that's what i'm asking?

lmao?

what stats

[gentle parrot]

Lmao smfh

[regal fjord]

sorry i thought i worded it in a way you wouldn't miss understand?

[gentle parrot]

Okay, usually res and hp isnt as important during campaign than it is for after it

Uhhh youre struggling with survivability mainly?

[regal fjord]

ok but i'm dying instantly to things off screen

[gentle parrot]

What class are you playing?

[regal fjord]

and it's act 2

monk

[gentle parrot]

Aish

Yeah monk is rough at the start :/

[regal fjord]

it wasn't any better with ranger

it's been a long struggle lol

[gentle parrot]

Ahhh I did ranger first time around and went through it smoothly

But yeah first play throughs are usually really rough

Best I can suggest is to backtrack to an older boss and farm him for better items/ sell everything you pickup

To buy random equipment from gamble merchant

[regal fjord]

but i'm at 500 hp and like 30 all res which i though s was good for a2

[knotty verge]

What are the flask mods that matter?

[gentle parrot]

Recharging per second and instant recovery

If you need help trying to get through a boss too, theres a ton of people willing to help in wc also

[regal fjord]

i can't even get to the boss

[gentle parrot]

Are you following any pre determined guides or do you like figuring it out from scratch?

[regal fjord]

uhh?

what lmao

[rustic venture]

what damage type is the blue energy bolts from draven and in the mastodon boss fight?

*blue green

*green

[surreal nacelle]

Chaos

[gentle parrot]

Are you following a guide from some yt video or guide from poe2 site? With your monk build

[pulsar dune]

is there a table or something telling us at what level/ilvl we get more slots on the weapon skills?

[knotty verge]

isnt instant recovery bad because it lowers the amount it gives>

[regal fjord]

i understood the question, i'm asking what stats i should aim for to have more survivability in act 2 and your answer is "am i following a build or making my own" like how is that relevant ?

[gentle parrot]

Instant recovery is good if your hp/mp is low and need it refilled stat if youre in trouble, thats why I suggested it

Also sorry Im typing one hand on my phone lol

[gentle parrot]

I’m asking because whatever youre building is what youre going to mainly use

If youre struggling for survivability focus on whatever set your character is mainly using for gear

[regal fjord]

bruh what

[gentle parrot]

Such as eva/es or armour/eva

[regal fjord]

yes

yikes

[rich merlin]

good support gem for crossbow shot?

[gentle parrot]

Yeah def yikes if you cant understand anything Im saying

[gentle parrot]

You shouldnt have to use crossbow shot at all, focus on the dmg skills you have

[rich merlin]

ah oke

[acoustic gyro]

Hey i might be slightly stupid, but my amulet is not giving me +44 spirit

[foggy birch]

invoker passive_

check

[acoustic gyro]

ah yes, this is why we pay u

[jaunty turret]

Hi everyone. I'm new here. I'm in act one, in the middle of a dungeon my Raging spirits stopped working. I went into UI to see it costs 50 spirit now and since I have only 30 I don't have enough. I double checked my gear, I have no idea what caused it in the middle of a location. Help is appreciated 🙏

[gentle parrot]

Did you add a support gem to it?

Some support gems require spirit also

[jaunty turret]

I did, yes, but it was working with both before it suddenly wasn't anymore. I have vitality and Fire infusion in, they don't state extra spirit cost

I have a feeling it's an early acess bug and I want to know whether It can be fixed or is the character bricked 😰

Oh no, it does

never mind

[acoustic gyro]

(side question) what gloves gives good evasion rating with max life and energy shield?

[gentle parrot]

[jaunty turret]

Apparently I don't know how to read

[gentle parrot]

It happens to the best of us haha

[jaunty turret]

Vitality does add spirit cost. Sorry for the trouble 🙏 🥺

[gentle parrot]

Npnp youre fine

[gentle parrot]

Uhhh any level? If anything Id just look through trade site with those stat filters

[jaunty turret]

Thank you so much for the help ❤️

[lunar wagon]

This amount of hp left Has upset me more then imaginable

[gentle parrot]

Yeaaah I killed the count before and died right after, lost all the drops and then my chara got bugged and couldnt tp back there , I feel the pain

[round drum]

what are jewels used on?

[lunar wagon]

They go in the passive tree In certain spots

[round drum]

o

[acoustic gyro]

i feel like im not understanding the invoker passive

[lunar wagon]

What one

[acoustic gyro]

the spirit one

[cunning tundra]

just starting as a warrior, is he really not fun to play?

[acoustic gyro]

in thought the maximun enery shield +6 should give me 1 spirit no?

[faint inlet]

It's based on 82/39

[acoustic gyro]

or am i just brain damaged and reading it wrong

[gentle parrot]

Hes fun , just difficult to level at the start

[acoustic gyro]

[lunar wagon]

No Its on body arrmor not helmet no?

[acoustic gyro]

oh yes

[lunar wagon]

I smart I figure it out

Yippie

[gentle parrot]

[acoustic gyro]

should i just get rid of this at this point?

or should i just keep it

[rustic venture]

what? why? it's an endgame viable item

[gentle parrot]

Its very good for early-mid game too

Depends tho on your build and what you want ofc

[acoustic gyro]

okay ill just keep it on then, it was a question cause i wanted to run combat frenzy

with herald of ice

[lunar wagon]

I think its better late then early since ES doesnt scale great early and chaos res isnt important in acts

[gentle parrot]

It does scale fairly well in early too if youre struggling a bit with surviving hits but I def think eva is pretty important early too so it all depends

[slow finch]

So the chimera isnt dropping the inscribed ultimatum for me. Does anyone know a fix for this?

[lunar wagon]

Well the thing is If you are invoker You probably will want to Have a lot of auras And spirit skills So You probably wont want to Use that anyway since you want a body armor to help u stack spirit Late anyway So even if not now at somepoint u probably will need to change it

[rustic venture]

if by get rid of it you mean trade it for currency, sure

[acoustic gyro]

either that or stash it for later xd

[lunar wagon]

Or save it if he plans on playing a dif char

[glacial panther]

you guys think i could get anything decent for this on the trade website?

[acoustic gyro]

i dmed u if u dont mind to see if u can help me out a bit

[pure quarry]

Get awakened poe trade for price checking

I think it was called poe exchange in poe2

[foggy birch]

nahhh

throw in the garbo

[ebon dragon]

Can somone tell me how to use Megalomaniac diamond to gain spirit and what do I need to look for in the jewel to gain spirit?

[split spindle]

can anyone recommend me a passive guide for leveling in campaign for stormweaver? theres so many i dont know which to pick

build is the endgame energy shield one and i do no dmg lol

[pure quarry]

Is it your first or your second character?

Since you said leveling

[split spindle]

first time player first playthru

im looking at maxroll and crying at all the options 🤣

[pure quarry]

Gotcha, try either anime princess's guide or captain lance's

[solar elbow]

how to check my stats like crit strike?

[pure quarry]

I think captain lance had a more step by step guide on maxroll

[foggy birch]

u can check it on the skills panel

[pure quarry]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/archmage-spark-stormweaver-build-guide

[solar elbow]

thank you

[pure quarry]

Are you looking at crouching tuna's?

Coz there a lot of build planners which aren't exactly guides but more like an update to see wtf the cc and streamers are doing

[split spindle]

This anime princess guy wow. i wouldnt show my face with that moniker

what a baller, respect

[pure quarry]

[pure quarry]

If you are in acts use the maxroll guide by crouching tuna should get you to maps

After you get some gold and currency respecc into either anime princess or captian Lances version

It's just a couple of points here and there tbh

[sleek fjord]

what does quality do for wands/staffs?

[glacial palm]

It improves the quality of the spell provided by the weapon.

As though you were improving a skill gem.

[sleek fjord]

ah ok

[split spindle]

the passives are so different, the one i was following was all ES and these spec much more into damage

there needs to be a 10 hour course on this game

[lunar wagon]

I just did my first map!!!

[plush mantle]

grats, now we must kick you out and dump you in #2┃after-acts-help

[lunar wagon]

Pls no

[lusty hinge]

A million to go left

[night tendon]

is it just me or are grenades insanely hard to use

also I don't get why people say gas grenades explode, it feels largely inconsequential

almost like im better off just using explodey bois i dont need the clouds

[silent mulch]

you need to invest in it

- skill effect duration and grenade nodes on the tree

[lusty hinge]

grenadier is a weird and clunky playstyle imo, good thing merc has options
would've been better if there was impact grenade launcher or smth

[silent mulch]

Immediately if you link it with fast forward and spreadshot, grenades are 10x more fun and easier to use than default

[night tendon]

i will try fast foward and spreadshot

im just really struggling with my merc

Was it maybe a bad choice to go ssf on merc? Am I very dependant on uniques?

[silent mulch]

I get it but i promise you those two things will tide you over til you can start speccing for it

[night tendon]

I really really like how the explosions look

so cool

[silent mulch]

now theres 3

[night tendon]

ive read about snakebite, im just hoping i can scale well with rares

[gusty elbow]

hello how do i get more support gems?

[pure quarry]

Which one are you following?

And at what part of the game are you

I had switch to es once I get to maps with decent amount of base es pool

It's not worth to spec into es if you had jack for flat es

[civic rose]

hi, from what level enemy will drop support gem 3?

[pure quarry]

I think they start dropping in act 4 (cruel 1)

Don't remember exactly

Or you can ask in global to lend you one, they aren't exactly rare

[civic rose]

alright thanks 😄

[sacred mica]

Guys are all unique stats the same no matter what level

so like buying lvl 20 unique is the same as lvl 70?

[pure quarry]

Pretty much

[sacred mica]

nice

[sacred mica]

so technically its better to buy low level unique? so i can equip eaerlier?

[sturdy inlet]

Question about defense stats

Armor piece 1 is normal rarity & superior with 50 armor
Armor piece 2 is magic rarity with 45 armor & 5% fire res

Which is technically better in isolation?

[pure quarry]

Just put your current lvl in the lvl requirement section (max)

So it doesn't show items that require higher lvl then you currently have

[pure quarry]

Just slam a transnute and augmentation on the normal item, tbh I wouldn't bother with defence until you are at a level where they start to matter

[sturdy inlet]

I'm trying to learn HCSSF. I don't ahve transmutes or anything

[misty sonnet]

how to fix bug arena ?

[sturdy inlet]

I'm trying to figure out if 38% phys res + 5% fire res is better than 40% phys res

[pure quarry]

You got balls of steel XD

[sturdy inlet]

The best way to learn is to create "risk"

This is my opinion though

[pure quarry]

I didn't try hcssf even in poe1 where we had crafting but to do so in poe2 XD

[sturdy inlet]

When I started POE1, I went straight to ruthless because i love challenges. Although it was brand new at the time so there was no build guides or acts guides

[primal bronze]

is there a way to fix interaction bug with trial of sekhams?

[pure quarry]

Well I don't know much about hcssf but if you got only 1 life then defences probably matter

[sturdy inlet]

I assume it's no different in scalings. Just, the risk is higher. So you would prioritize defense over damage

I guess I should wait on HCSSF until POB comes out. I could see an easy defense calc using that

In some way I think 40% phys res is better than 38% phys + 5% fire res because there aren't many fire enemies in the first few areas

But maybe eHP values are better with fire res anyway? idk

[pure quarry]

Resistance > Armor/evasion/es

Try to go for 1 of the three main defences depending on your main stat

[pure quarry]

That's not how Armor works lmao

40 Armor doesn't = 40% physical dmg negation

[sturdy inlet]

oh right I had boots along with it

[pure quarry]

I would go Armor everytime if it was the case XD

[sturdy inlet]

Boots + gloves + chest gives me 40 vs 38 from the fire res piece

[pure quarry]

That's makes sense

[sturdy inlet]

The illusion of choice

To give you an idea how Armor math works

The tool tip is a noob trap

[idle bison]

Is anyone available rn to help me with the titan skeleton from act 2? I just can’t seem to complete it with my warrior any help would be much appreciated if there’s any high levels here!🙏🏼

[ionic folio]

What is required to buy items from trades, just hit level 25 and was wondering if I need to buy a premium stash tab or anything

[fading roost]

Give me the cliff notes, is armor good in the late game?

I figure being able to just mitigate 99% of damage would be nice IF it works

[pure quarry]

[idle bison]

No one’s willing to help a brotha out real quick?😭😭😭

[fading roost]

Evasion is pretty nuts because you can get like 70% dodge chance with acrobatics so you can even just ignore bosses most of the time

[pure quarry]

Ask in global chat, I would but I be fired if I started playing at work

Lol

[idle bison]

That’s fair 😭😭 thank you!!

[fading roost]

Energy shield is insane in some builds like the witch

[pure quarry]

Yeah I'm not sure if Armor is just bad in poe2 or Evasion and es just got too much

[fading roost]

If you want to make a game fun, you make everything OP

[pure quarry]

Evasion + es builds are pretty op on high investment with ghost dance

[fading roost]

That's the caveat. They can be good without ghost dance, but can become OP with it

[pure quarry]

You just dodge half of the attacks and the ones that do get through you insta recover all your es back thanks to ghost dance

[fading roost]

Kek

If anything, ghost dance should be nerfed

Considering that es absorbs all damage regardless of the amount you have, makes you unkillable

[pure quarry]

They are bonkers on mana stackers builds

Mostly stormweaver

[fading roost]

Say, do you know any videos/charts that just quickly tell what the best builds for each ascendancy are? I want to tell my friends what each ascendancy is good at so they know what to go for

[pure quarry]

To be fair you need to put a lot of investment into your build to make a high evasion + es build work with acrobatics fkin your evasion up

[minor nova]

well each ascendancy can be good depends on the build they need

[fading roost]

Mood

[pure quarry]

[fading roost]

What I'm trying to get at here is, what makes each ascendancy unique?

[minor nova]

the tree within said ascendancy is different

[sturdy inlet]

This is funny

[fading roost]

💀

[minor nova]

i know the other version of witch doesnt have demon form and hellhound

[fading roost]

Lmao, it's real!

[minor nova]

same way the chayula monk is not same as the other path

[lunar wagon]

How do I get back to the Map room area?

[minor nova]

maps like endgame?

or just in general

[sturdy inlet]

That video you sent helps. I think armor might be okay in the earlier game but around Valley of the Titans in act 2, I'll have to swap it up. I know the enemies there have slow chunky attacks that hit hard

[lunar wagon]

Yea

[minor nova]

if you died u cant go back in

[trim bone]

summon portal

[pure quarry]

I had wait for the next patch to see what survives the nukes after the patch

[minor nova]

you have to reattempt with a different waystone

[pure quarry]

Ggg already said they fix the "bug" in their last tweet

[lunar wagon]

No like how do I get back to the Room area I went to Kill the bogwitch in cruel since I forgot her And Idk how to get back

[fading roost]

Damn, prays they don't nerf crit pconc into the ground

[minor nova]

oh go to act 3 cruel ziggurat refuge

should have your portals to go back into the map there

if u did it in your hideout just go to your hideout

[lunar wagon]

OH okay I see it

[pure quarry]

Keep your fingers crossed they fked with all of rue's past builds

Ggg has it out for the cat

[fading roost]

Sadger

[sturdy inlet]

If herald of ice gets got, I have a backup Shatter build in mind

Cold is fun

[minor nova]

i doubt herald of ice will get nerfed

[fading roost]

Rue always seems to know what's best even after nerfs, maybe GGG use him as a gateway, lol

[minor nova]

if anything theyll nerf the interaction with thunder and ice so you're forced to run polcerkeln

[fading roost]

Crit pconc is a little too insane

So it'll make sense if they do nerf it

I just hope it doesn't become unplayable

[pure quarry]

Imagine they nerf both the herald and ring interactions

Get fked monks

[minor nova]

if theres going to be nerfs itll be to spark mages

[pure quarry]

Pls don't get any ideas ggg I'm playing monk

[minor nova]

monk does not need nerf

spark mages sit in the back doing 20mil dps

[pure quarry]

Archmage is getting nuked no question, rn it was the most played class on the leaderboards

[minor nova]

they prob nerf the crossbow class after

i think its mercenary

[undone nebula]

Wolf of Ohgram is kicking my ass lol

[fading roost]

Monks (and chronomancers as far as I've heard) suffer the most, and we're talking about warriors being the only class without ranged options, lol

[minor nova]

warrior could have leap slam give them invul when airborne

[fading roost]

Hyper armor, yeah

[minor nova]

since monk tps to target

[fading roost]

No invuln

[minor nova]

armor in general needs buff

its bad

[pure quarry]

Btw if you wanted a list of the most class played right check

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/meta/the-build-meta

Here this is the closest thing we have until poeninja

[fading roost]

You know what hyper armor is right?

No animation cancelling, but you still take damage

[pure quarry]

We have hyper Armor in poe?

[minor nova]

r u referring to armor that dont let u get interrupted?

[pure quarry]

No way right

[fading roost]

I'd be down if warrior got hyper armor basekit as a melee class

[pure quarry]

Reduced dmg in most games but it varies ig

[sleek fjord]

which wand gives me sigil?

[pure quarry]

None

They only for staffs

[fading roost]

Oh yeah, there is that too, lol

[sleek fjord]

can u get them from skill gems?

cause i dont see it

sigil of power

[pure quarry]

Nope

[sleek fjord]

oh

[pure quarry]

I don't think you can get weapon specific skills from skill gems

[fleet viper]

the +20% evasion/energy shield rune on items gives +20% of total or +20% of the item that has the rune?

[sleek fjord]

which staff gives sigil of power?

[fading roost]

Oh, I was wondering if skills locked specifically to gear was a thing, that's pretty cool

[sleek fjord]

and can u only get sigil of power from staffs

[pure quarry]

Are playing stormweaver?

[sleek fjord]

yes

but im using wand so im gonna use it secondary

[pure quarry]

Yup that's the way

[pure quarry]

It's cool until it gets annoying XD

It be fixed if they decided to improve crafting but currently getting a specific weapon for a skill with the right mods is way too expensive to be realistic

[fading roost]

God.. I hope they fix crafting soon

It'll be nice to get orbs that can toggle/change suffixes and prefixes to keep certain mods you want

[pure quarry]

If they just brought back fractured items and previous essences I stop bitching

[glacial palm]

First name that comes to mind is "Chiming"

[sleek fjord]

ty

[main copper]

can anyone help me with the traitor's passage boss? Complete noob, just got the game today

[fading roost]

Oh yeah, is there a limit to how many essences you can use on an item?

[red garnet]

Idk if this is the channel I ask this but is anyone available to help me Power Lvl? If that’s a thing lol idk how xp works but if it’s possible I’d def appreciate it.

[fading roost]

I forgot essences are the less rng based orbs

Unless I'm wrong

[pure quarry]

Poe2 essences? They are just worst reforge that can't be turned back

[fading roost]

Oh..

Ew

[pure quarry]

Since some dunb@ss thought it was a good idea to remove scouring orbs

[fading roost]

So wait wait wait

[pure quarry]

[fading roost]

What was the old method of crafting for PoE 1

[pure quarry]

Outside of crafting leagues in general,

Fractured item (1 stats that is fixed and cannot change)

Essences : guarantees a stats of choice depending on the essence type, spam these until you have 3rd stat that you like

On lower end you can stop here and bench craft a 4th stat on choice

On higher end when you have couple of divs you can go for suffixes/prefixes cannot be changed and reforge to get a 5th useful stat and then depending on the fracture you can even go for 6th with eldritch crafting

Getting almost perfect items was easy af

[smoky lava]

Hello my two friends starting game and want to suggest them easy builds to follow and dont have any trouble in campaing. Can you guys help me out what builds have 0 problems in campaing? I have tried spark but its so bad at start, another try was ice monk it was so op but none of them wanna play this 😄

[pure quarry]

If you don't mind I can dm you the link

[kind pond]

Please do

[pure quarry]

Same lol

I was playing spark and it didn't get good until I had like 8 divs on investment in it

[pure quarry]

Lightning arrow deadeye and Poisonous concoction path finder are solid options but not sure if they are nerf free

[winged crescent]

witch summoner

its safe for clearing but boss fights might give them some trouble

[smoky lava]

Ok thanks

Merc looks cool but from what I have read its bad

bad version of deadeye

[red garnet]

Can you dm me the link as well lol I need carries

I wanna power level super bad

[pure quarry]

Statstacking gemling is pretty meta

Though all the stuff I have seen online starts at like 100 divs

[smoky lava]

yeah friends start with 0

[inland sage]

How do you change the attack type of galvanic shards to beam?

[lusty hinge]

you don't, beam is the arcing of the lightning

so passive effect

just fucky wording

[inland sage]

really? was it a different skill I saw where a streamer used an attack and fired a blue lazer

[rustic venture]

one of the major problems related to crossbows is being fixed for next patch, should make it more fun to play

[rich merlin]

for merc what do i pick for persistent buff skill gem - herald of ash, herald of thunder or war banner?

[sudden cairn]

Hello, i just finished ACT3 in normal difficulty, I couldn't find where to use this item. when takle the gateway it sends me to cruel difficulty, is there anyway to complete this quest now?

[lapis gale]

can my teammate revive me in trial of chaos

in the boss fight

[balmy ginkgo]

hi guys what build is this no skills?

[shadow fjord]

Why can't I Equip this?

[cinder compass]

Did you invest points in the "giants blood" node?

[rustic venture]

maybe some interaction with giant's blood (passive that allows you to 1hand 2h weapons but costs 3x str). dunno if you can 2h them when you have the passive

[cinder compass]

Yo how can I improve my aoe as a warrior?

[shadow fjord]

yes

[cinder compass]

That's the issue, giants blood allows you to wield two handed weapons in one hand but you need 3 times more strength

[shadow fjord]

Ahhh I see forgot about that

ty both

[cinder compass]

So you would need like 500 strength

[shadow fjord]

would 15% reduction on requirement on accessores help in this case?

[rustic venture]

you'd still be short by 3 str

[lusty hinge]

That's plasma blast, the last row of skills

you charge it, then release for big lasor and boom

[cinder compass]

Bruh can somebody inv me to the trial of the sekhemas? I'm hard bugged and can't tp there

I've been doing act 3 with no ascendency

[junior merlin]

What build throws out the most effects / projectiles?

I don't really care if it's effective i want it to be funny

[cinder compass]

Maybe the on death witch build

Really good, really expensive

[nova dove]

regret.

[junior merlin]

Death witch? I'm currently playing an inferalist skelly sniper is it similar?

Or do you mean like witch hunter

[cinder compass]

Don't really know haven't try it myself

[wraith folio]

can someone carry me through ascen2?

[hollow mural]

Anyone has tips on how to increase dmg for spark sorc? Im in act 4 but the dmg is not as good. Im playing bow and quiver to increase spark level cheaply.

[daring dragon]

#2┃looking-for-group alternatively the forbidden trove discord has a trial carry channel.

[daring dragon]

Pretty much entirely depends on your build.

[twilit junco]

Hey crew, are there any hints on the Azarain boss fight? I'm playing witch and he simply burns me down by putting the entire room on fire.

[sleek fjord]

is there a way to cancel shield charge earlier

[daring dragon]

Stay away from the 4 big lanterns, if he destroys them there will be a lot more fire. Watch out for his dialog, many bosses announce their attacks beforehand which helps avoiding them. Also be aware you can dmg him at the start of the fight before his HP bar is visible.

[inland sage]

ohh thanks

[twilit junco]

Thanks, got a bit farther this time.

[rustic venture]

demon form cast on ignite. there are sorc builds that throw out more but they are more likely to be nerfed/fixed than demon form versions.

[junior merlin]

Ill give it a try thank you

[rustic venture]

good luck, needs lots of research and currency

[twilit junco]

Third's try the charm! thx again!

[normal ibex]

dodge roll is the only animation canceller, i dont have a warrior so not sure if it works on all skills, worth a try tho

[sleek fjord]

oh ok

[craggy gyro]

is it ok to use bow as a monk in the first 14 levels when it comes to gem cutting? Im asking this cuz suposedly I'm following a Monk build with quarter staff but I am cutting gems for a bow in the first levels

am not wasting gems by cutting bow skills for my monk?

will I get more gems at 14 for my new monk skills?

[sullen flume]

Did you found what to do with this item? I have the same problem 🙂

[lusty hinge]

I don't get it, you want to use bow and bow skills as a monk for first 14 levels and then switch to quarterstaff?

[queen furnace]

that item is a quest item for aggorat in act 3, you can teleport back to it from the act 1 cruel, in the Trail of Sacrifice (the corspe area near the end) you will find a checkpoint with a sacrifical altar+dagger (i think the area is named Den of sacrifice) where you can stab the heart for +2 passive skill points and 2 weapon set passive skill points

[lusty hinge]

Aggorat, usually top right corner, the altar is at the edge of a pyramid

[sullen flume]

I found the Altar but the thing is I can only summon a npc but cannot have any interaction with altar

[queen furnace]

if it didnt have the dagger you are at the wrong altar

[lusty hinge]

You don't summon any npcs for that altar

It's a sacrificial altar, you pick up a dagger nearby, place the huge ass heart onto it and stabby stab

[sullen flume]

K I'll check that TY guys 🙂

[vast nexus]

How do i get uniques?

[candid plover]

In the tooltip, what's the formula the game uses to calculate spark DPS? I can't seem to figure out the exact thing

[daring dragon]

They randomly drop like any other item. Certain specific ones only drop from specific content like bosses or the trials for example.

[trail comet]

I'm dying in temple of kopec, why?

It drains life.

Yes? Its what Zizaran recommends.

Im following his monk build

[craggy gyro]

?

[daring dragon]

They weren't talking to you

[civic rose]

should I stack other defense stats like shield or evasion on warrior, or full armour is enough?

[craggy gyro]

Oh, ok.. 👍🏼

[vast nexus]

where can i salvage items?

[cold cargo]

is there a jewel that has spirit?

The crafting bench once you unlocked it after a sidequest in act 1.

the normal jewels nah

this one?

Yep

alr ty

[cold cargo]

so like rare one has or smthn?

[foggy birch]

no noone of them

Without having any debuffs on, why would I have -5% resistance on electricity?

you lose 10% every time you finish an act

[foggy birch]

i think the uniques ones have spirit

not sure

but the normal ordinary jewels nah

[pliant horizon]

you get 300 gold which would cost you 30 bucks. Gold is usefull to buy stash tabs etc

Hover over the exp bar at the bottom of your screen

do u have gems on it

[foggy birch]

sheesh calm down bro

[hybrid star]

for your question yes that's effective

[pliant horizon]

there a way to decrease effects on screen quality?

what does corrupt do?

does it buff the item, or debuff or gamble?

[rich merlin]

oh thank u

[daring dragon]

Gamble

[hybrid star]

it should says +10% to fire res here right?

[frail salmon]

For Trial of Sekhema, do I need to be the trial owner to get the reward/complete objective.. Or can I just join anyone? #firstTimePlayer.

[sick mortar]

hello, is anyone in here still currently have act 2 spires of deshar available in NORMAL difficulty please? its missing in my normal mode map but cruel it is there >_<

[junior merlin]

what does the 'quality' stat do?

[hybrid star]

hold alt on your gem

[sick mortar]

its contextual to the thing you are looking at, armour/weapons, and skill gems have quality.
skill gems, are all unique and will have specific changes to the skill gem depending on the level of quality, with items the max you can get it to is 20%. it will look like this on the gem

on rings and amulets you can be more targeted with quality, and impact certain modifiers on the item using catalysts you get in the end game

for gear, its simple really, the 20% makes the evasion rating number go 20% higher 😄

[junior merlin]

oh geez

alright so it means a ton of different things

[foggy birch]

the game itself

explains it well

if u look at the quality description

[junior merlin]

right i forget you can hold alt to mouse over context windows

[sick mortar]

yeah it can do a lot, but the best advice would be holding alt with your mouse over anything that confuses you in the game, if you read a tooltip and dont know what something means, if it has a squiggle line underneath you can get a detailed blurb

also if a skill gem ever reads confusing to you https://pathofexile2.wiki.fextralife.com/Galvanic+Shards you can look it up on here, and whilst the information is basically the same as in game, it may be easier to read it like this

[junior merlin]

Is there a point to running a staff over wand+off-hand?

[harsh hamlet]

Looking for someone who can help me with 4th ascendancy

Todays evening

[topaz junco]

#2┃looking-for-group

[harsh hamlet]

Sorry ty

[topaz junco]

It’s more offensive since both can roll +gem levels

[iron jolt]

I don't think I understand. Could you rephrase?

[topaz junco]

So scepter can roll something like +3 to fire spell levels. Wands can also roll +3 to fire spell levels giving you a total of 6 levels added onto any fire spell which is very powerful

[hybrid star]

he was asking about wand (1H) vs staff (2H)

[topaz junco]

Ohh

I read as scepter

[pliant horizon]

I feel it still answers the question...."No"

[iron jolt]

So no point to a staff? Here's hoping that'll change during EA..

Hi guys I completed the trial and can ascend, when I portal back to sell stuff I couldnt portal back to the room to use the alter, how do I go back

[fervent bison]

Front door should still be open

[daring dragon]

Check vendors each lvl up and look for possible upgrades.

[fervent bison]

And it SHOULD let you open up right back to where you were

lmk if it doesn’t tho

[daring dragon]

Get relics with honor resistance and max honor.

[slim onyx]

this one?

Do the orange (exotics) drops have unique traits to them?

are there any significant ways to boost my spirit (alr usijg spectre) in act 2? (past trial of sekhema's)

[daring dragon]

You can also buy decent ones for very few ex from other players.

[fervent bison]

You can buy a chest piece or amulet with spirit

Or wait til A3 where you will fight another boss that gives perma +30 spirit

It’s pretty early on in A3

[vast nexus]

assuming A3 is act 3?

what should i use my lvl 7 spirit gem on as lvl 27 infernalist witch?

[covert atlas]

Probably just upgrade raging spirits if you’re using them

[fervent bison]

They would know better than me https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1322251338167484436

[vast nexus]

is raging spirits a skill? never heard of it

ah nvm found oit

[rugged panther]

is the dmg increasedf for both spells and physical attacks, or only one of them?

[fervent bison]

The 2nd one? Only affects spells that deal physical damage

[rugged panther]

ahh I see, thx a lot

[astral pilot]

should i bother worrying about picking up items to trade before beating the campaign?

im very new to this game, still learning the basics. ig a better question might be "do i need to be worried about accidentally disenchanting/salvaging/selling a really expensive item during campaign?"

[fervent bison]

The simplest way to go about it is checking the tiers of the affixes and if it’s a bunch of t1-t4’s go ahead and DE

[covert atlas]

Not really, the higher tier of modifiers aren’t really available until higher item levels

[naive oak]

No you don't have to worry about it, except some uniques. I would just say don't spend Exalted Orbs & Divine Orbs on bad gear if you find any, it's the main currency on POE Trade

[astral pilot]

how do i check that?

[harsh gate]

Hey guys, im taking a look at poe2db an trying to figure out which mods can a str body armour have (see image). But now im confused about things like:

#% increased Armour

to maximum Life

#% increased Armour and Evasion

to maximum Life

can you either roll #% increased Armour and # to maximum Life OR #% increased Armour and Evasion an # to maximum Life but not both right?

[fervent bison]

When u hover an item bottom right of the frame should have an info button

I’m on controller so idk the mnk bind

[astral pilot]

ohhh its alt. didnt notice the little T1 etc on the side

[covert atlas]

Whether or not you roll % Armor or % Armor and Evasion depends on the armor base. Also straight %armor and %armor + life and straight life can all stack with each other

that would take up all 3 prefixes

[topaz junco]

They promote rmt which is against tos

[harsh gate]

So if I understand correctly body armor that are only str can roll only armor an if thy are str/dec they can roll armor and evasion?

[covert atlas]

Yes

[harsh gate]

Ah I see, thx. You also sai all 3 prefiex, does that mean you can have 3 prefixes and 3 suffixes?

[azure lava]

The spell physical damage only affects physical spells. Hold alt and click on underlined keywords to read more about how they work

[young plaza]

my trade site skills are non existant - what's the highest amount of spirit you can get on a neck piece ?

At level 40 I have a +35 Spirit neck and am wondering if it can go higher ?

[covert atlas]

On a rare item, 👍

[topaz junco]

Iirc 50

[empty pumice]

Hey I need a bit of advice for playing the campaign. I'm playing sorcerer stormweaver but spark isn't really doing it for me right now. I'm lvl 59 but I'm doing no damage at all. I'm playing with a friend who is able to one tap bosses (playing warrior with that one hammer ability that falls from the sky). Any recommendations for other builds that could work better at my level. I feel like spark needs a bit more investment before it comes good?

[young plaza]

Guessing that's at or near endgame ?

[harsh gate]

Clear, thx for the info

[topaz junco]

Just rare to get one that highly rolled

[hollow hedge]

don't know where to post this i'm done. All my reddit threads have been removed. Forum posts ignored. GGG did 3 bug patches and stil lhaven't fixed it. There is currently a blood mage bug that completely bricks the character. If you spec out of your ascendancy the permanent debuff of life cost remains without the added benefit. Respeccing into it applies another stacking permanent health cost debuff permanently increasing your life costs to x2 and every time you do it it increases by an additional 1x. If there are any devs here i want you to know that this is entirely unacceptable. Cheers

[lament stone]

use lightning rod + orb of storms, spark isnt good until you get archmage with a lot of mana

[azure lava]

I'd pick up basically everything and, in order:

1. DE (disenchant) rare items (yellow ones) with six affixes for two regal shards
2. Salvage items with two sockets for two artificer shards
3. Sell rare items for gold
4. Salvage all remaining items with sockets or quality
5. Sell all remaining magic (blue) and normal (white) items for gold

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/cold-snap-frostbolt-stormweaver-leveling-guide
Saw this guide too looks fun. But would this work as well or wouldn't you recommend it?

[topaz junco]

They just got back from vacation and there’s more pressing issues that they’re trying to resolve asap. Not to mention all the other bugs

[fervent bison]

Gotcha my bad

[hollow hedge]

what pressing issues? they're finetuning abilities while an entire ascension is bricked

[lament stone]

it would work, with that one youd have to spec into cold nodes, and respeccing can get kind of expensive later one

[fervent bison]

Game crashing issues and other various buga

[lament stone]

with lightning rod you can use mostly the same passives youd use with spark

[fervent bison]

This build is so ehhh

[subtle patrol]

Hey guys how upgrade your spirit very fast ?

[hollow hedge]

imagine patching this but not the bug i just mentioned

[fervent bison]

Atleast during leveling I never made it to endgame bc I respecced after like 1 day but it felt pretty bad

[topaz junco]

What do you mean upgrade spirit

[hollow hedge]

almost as if they're unaware

[lament stone]

you get 30 in act 1, 30 in act 3 and 40 in cruel act 3

[hollow hedge]

and for some reason all 3 of my reddit posts were removed regarding the issue with no answer every time when i asked for an explanation via modmail

[empty pumice]

I mean fair enough but I just would like to play something that does the most for me right now. Don't reaeally care how much I have to swap arround

[lament stone]

in that case lightning rod + orb of storms is one of the strongest builds for leveling rn, its even a very strong endgame build

[empty pumice]

Ye thought so but it looked good, doesn't look like the damage comes from the armour really which would help in this case

[lament stone]

not as strong as archmage spark tho (for endgame)

[fervent bison]

I got a hotfix a couple hours ago I’m assuming it wasn’t addressed?

[vast nexus]

don't rlly know what to do here

[hollow hedge]

it wasn't just checked 2 minutes ago

[fervent bison]

Dam that sucks

[hollow hedge]

yeah been waitign for a month

[topaz junco]

We’re not sure what constitutes a valid post for the subreddit but afaik they tend to remove copy threads so it’s likely that someone already made a post about it

[hollow hedge]

to continue playing but at this point my good will is used up

[topaz junco]

Open the desert map

[young plaza]

should auto finish by doing all quests involved reconstructing the horn.

[versed terrace]

Hello expect maxroll which are the best website for builds ?

[fervent bison]

Guess u gotta level a diff build til they fix it :/

[dusk umbra]

is unique maps, a one try thing?

[empty pumice]

ofc but I'm not end game. Any guide you recommend or things I should focus on to make it work??

Like i'd just stack levels to all lightning skills etc?

[subtle patrol]

Okay we can just upgrade spirit with the progression of acts and some randoms stats on your gear also ?

[flint wyvern]

i think i broke my character i have no gold and i was in middle of doig changes and now yeah its not looking good how can i fix it?

or how can i farm gold in act 2 without a build

[topaz junco]

I assume you mean except?

[young plaza]

Spirit can roll on Amulets , Rings and Robes IIRC. Need to examine the tooltip for a +x spirit

I've had it roll on a Yellow (Rare) amulet and robe

[azure lava]

Kill stuff, pick up loot
Or make a new character to get gold with

[young plaza]

Pickup everything you see , fill up your stash. Sell all for gold

[subtle patrol]

I have a wand too who can upgrade spirit alright i understand

[flint wyvern]

okay okay

[young plaza]

Learn what makes the most money vs the number of slots it takes up. Leave bulky stuff that doesn't sell for much

[topaz junco]

Mobalytics seem to have a few decent builds and ofc content creators on YT

[versed terrace]

thanks I will watch that

[azure lava]

That's a scepter. Wands cannot have spirit

[lament stone]

cannot roll on rings

[dusk umbra]

what about this one ?
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/hutch-cryoshock-stormweaver

[lament stone]

can only roll flat spirit on amulets and body armour, sceptres have base spirit

[young plaza]

woops , sorry I'm on a work shift ATM so can't check in game

[fervent bison]

Now this is a banger

haven’t tried it myself tho

[astral pilot]

is there an option to disable this by default? currently its always checked when i make a gem. cant seem to find the setting, maybe im being blind

[dusk umbra]

im following this build, but after i got all spell (+4 wand + 2 focus and +3 on neck) my own skills eat all my mana

[azure lava]

No way to have it unchecked automatically as far as I'm aware

[dusk umbra]

Lightning Warp also kill myself sometimes, and i feel like mobs is taking more time to freeze?

[desert surge]

Hello can someone point me into right direction what to do ? Maybe the optimal video guide to follow ? I’m new to this type of game. Never played anything like this before (only stuff on mobile phones that might be remotely similar) I just purchased the founders edition on psn however only did so because from the reviews read/watched made it pretty obvious that this is an excellent game and worth investing time in! So please guide me!

[young plaza]

I believe maxroll.gg has some exellent guides on how things like damage works

[desert surge]

That’s a YouTuber ?

[young plaza]

But the key thing is learn how the game works. Make mistakes.

[azure lava]

Pick class, play game, hold alt and click on underlined keywords to read more about how stuff works. Read as much as you can

Come here for any questions you have

[desert surge]

Gotcha!

[young plaza]

I feel following an optimal guide is too clinical. You should be learning how the game works not blindly following a guide but that's just IMHO.

[desert surge]

So explore first then ask questions later! Understood!

I’m excited for this

[azure lava]

Holding alt and reading stuff got me to endgame very easily on my first character. That and having a dozen years of experience with poe1.

[fervent bison]

I agree & disagree as you get deeper into it you start to understand WHY you’re taking things instead of just blindly following and then u make adjustments as you see fit

[cursive bluff]

doryani's mechs laser beams are they lightning element?

[desert surge]

Been playing LoL and other psn FGC games for years. This all gonna be new to me

Thanks guys

I’ll be back later

[young plaza]

Try looking at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7DTEA1mPYo

[desert surge]

Appreciate that man

[cursive bluff]

is doryani's mech laser beams lightning?

[fervent bison]

Yes I believe so

[torn lava]

if i buy poe 2 now will i be able to use that coins in poe 1 right now?

[cursive osprey]

Can anyone Help with Trial of Chaos?

[daring dragon]

#2┃looking-for-group

[craggy gyro]

I'm calm brother. My tolerance is just zero for little boys trying to be funny.

[craggy gyro]

Thank you 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[fervent bison]

You will get tons of skill gems so don’t worry abt it

also by the time u switch over you will have higher level gems so you won’t care so much abt the lower level ones

[frail salmon]

Ive completed the Trial of Sekhemas, and choose my ascend. But what are the difference?

Im so confused lol.

[foggy birch]

🤣

oleg cooked

[gray anchor]

in cruel act 3, in jungle ruins, I cant find the matlan waterways, is it bugged out?

[daring dragon]

It's gives completely different passives to choose.

The exact difference entirely depends on each individual class and ascendancy.

[daring dragon]

Check behind the chimera boss area

[gray anchor]

I cant even find that

[covert atlas]

It’s right next to the waypoint but you need to do a quest to access it

[abstract frigate]

Can a corrupted skill gem be levelled up?

[gray anchor]

who did I get the quest from?

[ripe cape]

at the altar next to the WP from Alva

[covert atlas]

Idk, you go through the temple after the chimera, get the thing from the boss and come back.

[covert atlas]

You can upgrade it with a higher level gem like any other, however you cannot add quality or sockets anymore once corrupted

[abstract frigate]

Thanks 👍

[hexed owl]

hello, any witch player here

[gray anchor]

in the homebase or at the jungle ruin?

[covert atlas]

Yo

[hexed owl]

hi

im playing witch 25lvl and somehow i dont have fire spells

i have all bone spells. Its ok, but i wanted to go with fire, raging spirits, etc...

[covert atlas]

It’s in the elemental spells section

[ripe cape]

when using a skill gem you have to tab over to Sorcerer /elemental

[covert atlas]

You aren’t locked to occult

[hexed owl]

like main skill is chaos bolt and unearth, i dont see anywhere elemental

[ripe cape]

use an Uncut Skill Gem

[covert atlas]

^

[ripe cape]

you can tab to other categories

[covert atlas]

Only way to access the skill menu, pretty dumb tbh

[hexed owl]

ah i see

[covert atlas]

You will need a spirit gem for raging spirits

Since you mentioned that

[hexed owl]

yeah i dont have that one lol

honestly, i was thinking to start all over again, coz probably i clicked something else in the beginning

[covert atlas]

You’ll get more than enough gems but they do be kinda scarce early on

[daring dragon]

I don't see any need for you to do that

[vale ether]

Hey everyone can anyone help me for the act 3 cruel the map in the past time i'm just stuck in there for like 3 hours can't even reach the next checkpoint i'm so frustrated already 50 death's still no checkpoint reched

[daring dragon]

#2┃looking-for-group

[vale ether]

thx

[keen hound]

Can someone please help me find a carry for the 3rd ascension?

[daring dragon]

See one comment above

Alternatively, the forbidden trove discord has a trial carry channel.

[strong mesa]

Hi everyone, I need help, I'm tired of dying without understanding the reason, tell me what I died of?

[covert atlas]

Hard to tell

[pliant horizon]

this after acts?

[ripe cape]

seems like something spawned on top of you

likely some bone mobs

[rugged gust]

hello, I want to ask is it ilegal to use DNS in this game?

[covert atlas]

You got stunned for sure but idk what exactly spawned on you

[odd bone]

What's the best overall class for early game that doesn't suck at end game or cost a billion divines to gear?

[rugged gust]

because my early access suddenly gone, and my friend said maybe because I use DNS

[ripe cape]

checked your login?

[plucky snow]

key bought on site or steam? repairing gamefiles on steam helped me

[rugged gust]

I got a key from a friend

and claimed at the website

[tiny beacon]

having mana issues on lightning ranger build, any help?

more on boss fights, run out of flask charges and have to aa

[odd bone]

No one seems to be much help tbh

[covert atlas]

Inspiration on lightning arrow, mana leech on gloves or bow

[main copper]

what do u guys think. need some help for which one to use

just got the game a day ago so im still pretty new

[sour pebble]

If you're running oom then you're not dealing enough damage. Follow fubgun guide and upgrade bow through trade site

[naive oak]

equip the item and see if your dps increases

[trim turret]

One has no physical damage which matters for a lot of skills. Many skills convert physical to something else. If there's no physical, there's no damage. Or very little.

[main copper]

yeah my dps goes up by like 60

[naive oak]

So keep the weapon, you will see the difference in the next fights

[main copper]

so is it better to equip one with physical? even if my dps will be lower

[foggy birch]

if u using falling thunder as ur main dmg skill

second better

[trim turret]

Depends on the skill but yeah trust the DPS numbers for the most part.

[covert atlas]

If the skill converts 100% to lightning in the tooltip, blue staff should be better

[shadow haven]

What would be the best way to get my 5th and 6th ascendancy points?

[naive oak]

Pay 30 exalts

[covert atlas]

I generally prefer just killing trialmaster

Sanctum makes me sad

[rotund hollow]

Can anyone do the 4th ascendancy for me? I got the exalts;)

[old cloud]

How i can take a lvl 19 spirit gemm?

someone have it?

[meager galleon]

you need to find it in the highest lvl content

or trade for it

[wind charm]

sanctum is all about your charms n route u pick its ez too

[meager galleon]

i think you mean relics

[tired forge]

Forgive me, does "Allies in your Presence deal 50% increased Damage " Include my Skelly Minions?

[haughty niche]

Minions are allies

[daring dragon]

#2┃looking-for-group or alternatively the forbidden trove discord had trial carry channel.

[desert sedge]

Rule 6. No trading, begging, asking for 'loans', giveaways, tips for services, etc for any game. See #trading for alternatives.

[molten ether]

hey, what happens if i die in my citadel? do I need to find another one?

[daring dragon]

Yes

[tired forge]

tyvm for info : )

[molten ether]

christ... spend days looking for one just to die and its over? lol

[haughty niche]

Yes.

[molten ether]

are they special bosses or something?

[daring dragon]

Kinda but also not rly

[haughty niche]

1 is act 2 boss i believe. One is modified act 1

But they have a tendency to bug out or 1shot

[mossy topaz]

im running less level ons my skills, i built a second char for bossing alone, since having the currency to make double herald work for bosses is insane

[humble orbit]

how can you get 4th slot on skill gem? it it some rare drop late in game?

[daring dragon]

Greater jewelers orb

And perfect jewelers orb is for 5 slot

[covert atlas]

Greaters are much rarer than I think is intended

[humble orbit]

ty

[sonic bluff]

hey qeustion abouth spells. So how does the scaling work related to ur weapon. because with physical damage it scale of ur weapon stats

so to spells only scale on the base stats of the spell

[dusky burrow]

correct, whereas the damage of attacks is based off of the base damage of your weapon

[sonic bluff]

if yes does that mean the level of ur item does not matter just how much it increased spell damage

[dusky burrow]

correct
