[fading roost]

To be honest, that's beyond me. I haven't seen much yet, but I'm still in act 3 standard

But boy, the amount of exalts that drop..

[rigid bridge]

No

[azure lava]

I think quality is factored into the rarity equation but I'm not positive

Hm

I thought rarity pretty much has a finger in every pie

[fading roost]

I think it's because quality isn't affected by rarity but rather has its own chance pool

[azure lava]

Are we sure quality is unaffected by rarity?

[rigid bridge]

Ok, I'm not sure

[fresh mulch]

i have 14% 15% 17% to rarity on my items idk if thats a lof or really small amount

[rigid bridge]

At face reading "rarity" refers to magic/rare/unique

[fresh mulch]

fight fight fight

[rigid bridge]

Nah

We both say we're not sure and come to consensus

[fading roost]

You should aim for 100%. It starts to taper off higher up, but I've seen folks with like 200-400% to get insane drops

[zenith edge]

what is a good site for builds

[azure lava]

Yeah but Johnathon confirmed in an interview that rarity also affects what types of items drop (gems, currency, etc)

[azure lava]

Maxroll.gg or trusted you tubers

[rigid bridge]

For item types that don't have built in rarity (like currency)

[fresh mulch]

DAMN

[rigid bridge]

I wouldn't say a lot but it def makes a diff

[fading roost]

Yeah, it's mental. 100% is good, don't get me wrong and easy to get once you get to lv 25 and have some exalts to trade

[rigid bridge]

Gettigb50-80 in campaign makes a big diff

[zenith edge]

i use maxroll been using it since i was grinding d3 but i feel like my lightning arrow build from there isnt doing too well

[fading roost]

What lasagna said

50-80 is a comfort zone so you don't have to feel forced to go higher

[azure lava]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1326972100409426081

[fading roost]

I'm forcing myself to 100%, lol and boy am I dying a lot

[azure lava]

Orb of storms >>> lightning arrow imo

[fresh mulch]

i saw ppl suggesting maxroll for most powerfull and meta builds but i saw some few builds on mobalytics
so mobalitycs is overall full of trash builds for other games but im 100% sure few of those are decent and CAN be much more fun for you so i suggest at least scroll there for few minutes and maybe you will find something interesting and maybe at least take some parts of the build from there :D

[glacial fern]

Playing the start of act 2 anybody want to join up?

On pc ^

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[fading roost]

Damn, I wish I wasn't stuck at work. Exalts drop so often on first time(s) through for me, lol. Hence why I'm eager to "help" my brother through his game

[rigid bridge]

You need to look who made the build

Ultimately

[fresh mulch]

why? do i know them?

[fading roost]

Sometimes they're made by game tourists who don't know what they're doing, like combining avatar of fire with black amethyst

Avatar makes it so you can't do non fire damage and black amethyst converts fire damage to chaos so you deal little to no damage

[fresh mulch]

yea thats why i said a lot of builds on mobalytics is trash from other games

[zenith edge]

dont use lightning arrow?

[rigid bridge]

Not how it works, avatar of fire works just fine

[azure lava]

Orb + rod blows lightning arrow out of the water in terms of dps

[fading roost]

With Black Amethyst!?

[rigid bridge]

You never are dealing chaos dmg, you're dealing fire dmg

Enemies take fire dmg (from ignite?) as chaos

[slim onyx]

Hi, why is my total spirit only 83 when I have +46 spirit, isnt it 60 + 46 = 106?

[fading roost]

Ohhhh, I see.. it's one of those "treated as" situations, isn't it?

[azure lava]

Are you an invoker with the node that stops you from getting spirit from gear?

[rigid bridge]

Do you have the monk ascendancy node

[slim onyx]

oh right I remember now tysm

[fading roost]

Oh right, I'm stupid. Ignite is an ailment

It converts said ailment into chaos damage, the gears are clicking now

[zenith edge]

so i should redo my skills then i use lightning arrow and orbs only on bosses

[azure lava]

No, if you read that thread I lay out exactly what gems to use and with what supports. You don't need to change your passive tree if you don't want to

[zenith edge]

I didnt say passive tree just skills lol

[zenith edge]

im currently reading everything

[azure lava]

Oh, I didn't associate "redo" with skill gems. I'd just cut new ones and put em in

Or recycle old ones if you have em

[fresh mulch]

how do i activate that i have 93 spirit and i still dont know

i deactivated arctic armor

[azure lava]

Put a spell in it

[fresh mulch]

wtf

okay

thx

[fleet sleet]

If i'm doing chaos trial can i go back to town?

or does it reset if i go back to town

[fresh mulch]

not if you are in the middle of it

but at the end yes

[fleet sleet]

like what about inbetween floors?

[fresh mulch]

in the first trial you could save and go back i think

not sure i did it 20 min ago and i didnt check :P

[azure lava]

Again, reading is op. Specifically the yellow text of gems

[fleet sleet]

okies thank you! I just wanted to put away items

[safe lance]

What setup is more popular in PC? WASD or mouse? I am trying to learn and was using WASD by default as I quit PC games around 2016 and been only on consoles.

Also in wasd the movement distance feels a bit slow, idk if there is a setting like "input delay" or something that can help with this.

[fresh mulch]

i put frostbolt in it

[fleet sleet]

oh my gosh Im so dumb! I finished it LOL

[fresh mulch]

xD

welcome my brother xD

[safe lance]

We are able to save Trial of sekhema at any point btw. I have done it so many times. The only thing to keep in mind is to not leave thru the purple portal between floors (if you are doing one with multiple floors)

[fresh mulch]

okay but it doesnt say that then you have to activate that so a bit of minus :P

[azure lava]

What does the gray text at the very bottom say?

[fresh mulch]

to put spell gem in it

[azure lava]

I see

[fresh mulch]

but it doesnt say to activate it

the herald of ice

[meager flower]

Are these bonuses random? Do they stay forever with the character?

[azure lava]

You pick one and can swap freely. They're the same options for every character

[meager flower]

I guess mana recovery is better than charms?

[fresh mulch]

btw the charms slots from belts are like effect just random? or higher lvls give you just more slots?

[reef pagoda]

Can someone give me a free 4th ascendancy carry please if possible

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[azure lava]

They're both pretty ass imo

[fresh mulch]

is lvl 20 good enough?

[reef pagoda]

Not sure. Think needs to be higher

[fresh mulch]

:C racism :C

[reef pagoda]

Like are you level 20?

[fresh mulch]

no im lvl 47 on ice sorceress

[reef pagoda]

Ya think it’s pretty hard. Not sure

[fresh mulch]

im better then you

[reef pagoda]

Well we can try. You got the coin for trial? I don’t have the 4th

[fresh mulch]

no im poor :P

xD

sorry but im gonna go get angry cuz of league :P

[rigid bridge]

No it's doesn't, has nothing to do with the ailment

[fading roost]

Sorry lol

I understand what you're saying, I'm just talking out of my ass

[meager flower]

I am level 25 ranger and I only have 30 spirit. How do I get more?

[rigid bridge]

Progress campaign

[meager flower]

Are there any Evasion/Energy Shield armors nowadays? I am thinking if it's too ambitious to play an energy shield deadeye

[rigid bridge]

Wdym "are there any"

Of course it is a possible item

[narrow sandal]

hello , hope this is correct channel for this. can someone help me beat act 2 end boss fight. i been trying for ages and keep getting close and unable complete it. any help would be appreciated

[meager flower]

My bad, I meant as base item mods

[rigid bridge]

I don't understand

Evasion/es is an item that can drop yes

[meager flower]

Greast, the reason for that question was if nowadays, in POE2, ES deadeyes can be a thing

[rigid bridge]

Yes it csn

[meager flower]

Awesome, thank you

[stark fossil]

ugh so whats a good class to play? I have tried the witch and i dont mind it, did the merc and it isnt so bad, tried the ranger its ok and did a warbrininger. Just dont know they dont jive. I guess all I have left is monk and sorc to try...lol. Any builds that are good and helpful? Or maybe something I have already tried and a different build. I just am not having fun playing them or something don't know...lol

[azure lava]

All classes can use all skills, so it's far more about your build and gear than the class you pick

You just listed some classes you tried but I have no idea what skills/builds/archetypes you did

[stark fossil]

I got a witchhuner,warbringer,minion witch,deadeye

[azure lava]

Witch hunter, deadeye, and warbringer also tell me very little

What archetypes do you enjoy from other games? What sort of play style are you after?

[stark fossil]

I have always like the minoin build. I alwasy ran that in POE 1 but I wanted to try something new.

[azure lava]

I'm playing a freezing bow chronomancer rn, so just naming your ascendancy class doesn't really narrow much down

Have you seen kripparian's skeletal reaver warbringer?

[stark fossil]

Maybe I just need a build that has a good guide...lol

no i havent

[azure lava]

That's a very spicy minion build

And it's on warbringer

He made a guide for it on YouTube

And probably has a written guide in the description

[stark fossil]

I think my warbrininger is the one you just use mace strike and sunder with

I dont really mind it but I also am not totally in love with it lol

[azure lava]

Like I said, all classes can use all skills and gear

If you're associating warbringer with melee mace attacks, I'm sorry that the game is packaged in a way to conjure that narrow picture

[river wing]

is a way i can use sniper mark automatic or casting trigger or something like that?

[torn bough]

is there a scripted jewelers orb drop?

and when might it be if so

[rigid bridge]

act 3 normal 1st area

[deft gull]

What is the best way to farm gold

[trim turret]

Kill monsters, sell items.

[half furnace]

Is there any value to killing side bosses that you missed along the way? I just finished act 3

but didn't kill like two side bosses

[glacial palm]

Depends on the boss, but a few are pretty valuable. Spirit upgrades, resistance boosts.

[idle ocean]

helloo would anyone happen to know if ill still be in this room when i quit the game and relog? I just wanna do more research first on which ascendency i wanna pick or wait for the patch notes tomorrow.

[half furnace]

i got those. so i'll look up thanks for the reminder

[glacial palm]

I think the treasure room in particular, if you leave it any way you are out of it.

[idle ocean]

oh my, i see. thank you so much!!

[untold gazelle]

if you clear a hideout how do you use it?

[inland sentinel]

Are you in maps?

[glacial palm]

I believe you talk to Alva to set your hideout? Been a minute.
Also #2┃after-acts-help , don't want people trying to get hideouts before endgame 😅

[inland sentinel]

You can change hideouts with Alva

[untold gazelle]

Thanks

[winged abyss]

is anybody running the ascendencies?

[untold gazelle]

can you place items in the jewl socket?

[dusky burrow]

you can place jewels

nothing else

[untold gazelle]

thanks

[mystic pumice]

hey, I justed started the story and wanted to duo with someone, anyone down?

can be more than a duo

[idle shell]

can someone help me please, which one and why? how do i go about ranking which stat is better? im running infernalist witch build

right gives +2 level to all minion skills but left gives aura for 45% damage, which one is more valuable?

[dusky burrow]

right

by a mile

• levels is very, very important

[idle shell]

so it ends up being more than the 45% extra damage?

[dusky burrow]

that 45% inc. applies to the base damage of your minions

it's additive with other modifiers that increase their damage

[idle shell]

ahhh

[dusky burrow]

of which, as a minion build, you hopefully have a great deal of

[idle shell]

im trying, still low level but i dont have any problem going through the campaign so far

thanks for the help

[wheat parcel]

If i have a socket that does 100% chane of shock, does it matter to have + shock chance on passive tree?

[foggy birch]

i dont know how it is with minion builds but,when i picked a +3 melee skill weapon on my monk during campain,i literally couldnt fucking use my spells lmaoo

[wooden lava]

with minions it actually reduces the amount of spirit you need

[tame marten]

Could i have some assistance with the forsaken son

[foggy birch]

100% doesnt mean u have 100%

to shock

if u dont find urself shocking enemies easy, i would say puick up some nodes on the tree

and increase ur lighting dmg

these 2 things matter

[torpid stirrup]

hey im just checkinf im following this right, but did tuna in this guide get herald of ice and thunder support gems mixed up? https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/lightning-arrow-deadeye

[glacial palm]

So, running an alt through... nobody told me there was a "Periodically unleashes anchors" affix.

[tame marten]

Plz

[knotty verge]

Should you only use sceptres for minion builds? Im thinking about a build that needs to stack a lot of spirit and it could be an answer

[glacial palm]

We're about to go... somewhere 🤔

[glacial palm]

Pretty much the other main reason besides support builds.

[glacial palm]

Try #2┃looking-for-group , might be more people picking up there.

I've also heard global chat is pretty reliable.

[dusky burrow]

it's a great cost to give up a weapon slot, so you better have a very, very good reason to use it if you're not a minion build.

[knotty verge]

The reason would be to stack blashphemy a ton to hexblast. In a not quite there way it adds damage

[glacial palm]

Okay, bad idea atm 😦

[pure sapphire]

any1 got some spare t15s for sale?

[glacial palm]

Currently, and it looks like that's the plan long-term, Hexblast detonates a single curse per enemy @knotty verge

So even if you had multiple curses going with Blasphemy, you would only be popping one.

[knotty verge]

Really? that sucks

Makes my build easier I guess

[glacial palm]

Yeah. It's weird to me because the video in the skill section even has a whole section after explaining how you can pop all curses on an enemy.

Feels weird to leave that in if it's intentional, instead of just chopping that last part.

[knotty verge]

Yeah the skill video made me thought I can stack 3 or 4 curses for a silly amount of damage

[glacial palm]

I'll admit I actually like it for my build, reapplying curses is pretty pricey and sometimes I would rather temporal chains stay active.

But it removes a lot of the damage potential for that spell.

[knotty verge]

Im doing a build that goes all in on chaos so im going to try make hexblast my big damage

[glacial palm]

If you decide to go that route, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised even with just one curse

[amber crypt]

whats the best site for builds?

[frozen vapor]

I wanna start new character, who's i should choose?

[dusky burrow]

maxroll and mobalytics are two good sites

youtube has a lot of great stuff and a lot of bait as well, so usually for the more experienced

[dusky burrow]

got a personal preference?

[silent canyon]

Anyone know goes to see your real time dps on console?

Knows how *

[frozen vapor]

@dusky burrow Want something better than mercenary

[dusky burrow]

wdym by "better"

that doesn't give me much

[dusky burrow]

on the boss' health bar, unless that isnt visible on console for some reason

otherwise you can't

[silent canyon]

Ah okay. I wanted to figure out how to t test my builds

[dusky burrow]

yeah there is no test dummy or such of a kind, it has been suggested and is in some form of consideration.

[frozen vapor]

@dusky burrow i just try mercenary, want something else

[dusky burrow]

i know, but you gotta understand that this is up to personal preference

[foggy birch]

u never can go wrong with a monk...

🥶

[dusky burrow]

there is no objectively best/most fun etc. class, you pick off of what you think you'd like to play

[winged crescent]

well side question to them what class has the cheapest items on average?

[glacial palm]

Interesting question, skipping the usual talk about "classes" in this game.

Probably want to avoid a caster, lot of expensive mana/es stuff.
Probably want to avoid common monk builds, pretty popular.

Probably one of the archers, I'm guessing? A sub-250 widowhail goes pretty cheaply, crossbows are usually cheap but that might be changing soon lol

[short basin]

Where i Can use Sacrificial heart

[winged crescent]

I was thinking the same, but there is one subclass that I think will naturally be cheaper on average due to people not playing it and it not being able to use weapons and thats demon witch but thats been my guess

[winged crescent]

act 3 Utzaal I think

[glacial palm]

Just after Utzaal, can't remember the exact name.

Close to Ziggurat but not that.

[winged crescent]

before you go into the black chambers

[frozen vapor]

Witch , monk or archer , what's better guys?

[glacial palm]

Better at what?

[winged crescent]

whats your goal?

[short basin]

But where there ?

[winged crescent]

near the end

[short basin]

I am in the black chamber now

[frozen vapor]

My goal get a budget strong build

[short basin]

Hmm okay

[winged crescent]

oh its right before the black chambers @short basin

[glacial palm]

Map before that @short basin

Keep exploring, you won't be able to miss it.

Giant "Place heart" prompt or something on the ground next to a dagger lol

[short basin]

Ok Thanks

I Had just the left Side xD

[glacial palm]

Ah, yeah. Usually like top/top-right.

[short basin]

Found it ty

[fleet sleet]

I tried my 3rd ascendancy via trial of the chaos. I died at the last boss. Is there an area I can farm to try to get the item to try it again? I didn’t know it wasnt unlimited tries. 😦

[keen fox]

So guys i got these ascendancy keys to enter the trial but it said i cant get any more ascendancy points

I dont get it?

I only have 4 points on my ascendancy

And im currently on the cruel difficulty of act 2

[trail comet]

Someone's need help with questing? I'm free to help out.

[foggy birch]

if u have 4pkt ur next ones needs

60lvl sekhema+

or 75+ trial chaos

[keen fox]

Oh i need to level up then

Thanks friend!

[foggy birch]

ye the ones that dont give u ascenency points u jsut do the for loot lol

[meager flower]

Is there any way I can see what level of spirit gem do I need to get my lvl 1 Cast on Shock?

Jesus... what went wrong with the font?

[clever geode]

what's this icon?

[idle ocean]

guys ... my game crashed when i was in the room choosing ascendency and when i logged back in my barya was gone... i can't do the trial anymore. does anyone know a fix around this?

[idle ocean]

nvm! balbala gives u a new coin in case anyone stumbles across this problem as well.

[foggy birch]

ingame it says lvl 8 spirit gem needed

doesnt it?

for cast on shock

[torn ocean]

another stupid question. when you see stats on armor says: 100% increased Energy Shield. does this apply to all shield or only armor shield value?

[round drum]

what type of wand do i use on a demon witch build?

[clever geode]

on the armor only

[clever geode]

any unless u want the wand skill

which normally u dont

[scarlet lake]

as warrior what should i focus on first in skill tree

[clever geode]

depends on your build

[ionic wagon]

I'm leveling a sorc alt and am hard stuck for the last ~45 minutes on the Viper fight in act 3. the shocks and the arena and stuff are just crushing me... Anyone available to carry me through this boss real quick? I'm cky2kenndel#0580 or let me know how i can invite you best. Thanks!

[clever geode]

dm me your ign

[ionic wagon]

in game name: Mayaaaaaaa

[clever geode]

next time

[plush mantle]

did you test each A? 😉

[clever geode]

go to #2┃looking-for-group

[daring dragon]

If you need guidance look up a build guide

[ionic wagon]

Ahh posted it over there thanks

[round drum]

What do i use then?

[untold gazelle]

can you only use so many tier 1 waypoints?

[fiery agate]

should I get the +5 attribute draught or +10% chaos res

[torn ocean]

TY

[plush mantle]

no, but you do run into exp penalties if you're too high a level (also, waystones are a #2┃after-acts-help question)

[cold nebula]

hi i have 2 items but idk which ones better can anyone help me?

just dm me or smth

[shut abyss]

just link them here

[cold nebula]

how?

[shut abyss]

screenshot i guess

[hearty sleet]

Whats the best way to find Gold rarity equipment

[shut abyss]

same as any other modifier, keep on crafting! or buy from trade

[daring dragon]

Just keep playing if you are still in campaign and check the vendors each lvl up.

[hearty sleet]

I tried but says I gotta be lvl 20-25

[hearty sleet]

Got it thank you for the tip

[shut abyss]

to be honest you shouldn't really worry about rarity equipment in the campaign

[cold nebula]

im running ice and lightning monk need help knowing which is better

[shut abyss]

oh and i assumed you meant item rarity since gold rarity isn't a thing

[hearty sleet]

Yes my apologies

[shut abyss]

no need (:

[shut abyss]

i'd pick the rare with resists but both are fine during campaign

[scarlet lake]

good call, thx!

[cold nebula]

thanks for the help!

[shut abyss]

why not try the unique and see if you like it's effects?

[plush mantle]

triple resist chest pieces is REALLY hard to replace in the campaign

[cold nebula]

ive tried it a couple times but im not 100% sure what its doing to help

[weak vortex]

where can i see my honour res

[shut abyss]

it's not doing much is why you probly can't tell

i don't think you'll really notice the life regen and the mana regen is helpful but if youre not struggling with mana you wont notice it

[humble orbit]

does it mean i have 24 free points or i have 24 allocated somewhere ?

[plush mantle]

Dustbloom is designed to let you recover faster between encounters

[plush mantle]

It means you have 24 weapon set(swap) points you could use, but they require regular passive points to "fuel" them. You get the ability to specilize your tree a bit with them though. For example, if you have a cold weapon set and a lightning weapon set, you could take cold passives for the cold weapon and lightning passives for the lightning set

[shut abyss]

if you got 124 passives
you put in 100 passives first for both weapons
then you can put 24 for each weapon slot

[round drum]

are there any quarterstaffs with chaos damage?

[humble orbit]

thanks

[plush mantle]

as in implictly? no

only lightning

[shut abyss]

looking at poedb i don't think you can get any chaos damage on quarterstaves

[weak vortex]

what is maraketh shrine

[plush mantle]

the tablets that heal your honor

[weak vortex]

does this count as one as well

[plush mantle]

that one I'm not sure on

[round drum]

What weapo. Should I use on my demon witch while leveling

[shut abyss]

i think any that wants 5 water for payment is a shrine

maybe...

[sour pebble]

It'll say shrine on the map node

[shut abyss]

then i'm wrong 😦

[meager sequoia]

can i upgrade a unique gear piece to have more stats like i can with the yellow pieces? if so what would i need

[plush mantle]

you can add sockets to a unique, but you can't add affixes (except by getting an implicit from a Vaal Orb, but that's risky)

[meager sequoia]

can you add sockets to a weapon that dont have any socket slots? or it has to drop with socket slots?

[shut abyss]

you can add sockets yes

[meager sequoia]

tysm

[foggy birch]

thats alot of sockets

[plush mantle]

you can salvage socket gear you don't want to get shards. 1 shard per socket, 10 shards = 1 orb

best way to get those early on

[daring dragon]

Bonus tip if you are short on them, check early act vendors for items with sockets and buy them to salvage them. Same works with quality items.

[meager sequoia]

loqwkey watched those tips in a video and forgot ab them, u mfs are legends!! glooks

[hearty sleet]

So upgrading the Quality of equipment does it boost a random stat ?

[shut abyss]

but there is catalysts that boost certain modifiers on rings and amulets

[dense nacelle]

Lf someone starting act 3 cruel, need.help with party to fix large soul core quest item missing, im soft locked 😦

[hearty sleet]

Thank you Good sir/madam 🙏

[woven star]

could someone help me with the chimera boss

[shut abyss]

try #2┃looking-for-group or public parties

[shut abyss]

whats killing you?

[woven star]

im at the boss gate

hes just harassing me

[shut abyss]

is he dealing too much damage or are you dealing too little?

[woven star]

im getting melted, i dont think im dealing too little im running a lightning archer build

[shut abyss]

so he does ice and fire damage on large aoes, are you dodging those and do you have some resistances?

[craggy gyro]

does these stack with each other?

[sleek fjord]

im trying to copy this guys skill tree but i cant tell which weapon set it is because its allocated by a diamond, how do i tell?

[craggy gyro]

will the area of effect affect the range of aura from skills

or just the skills and not auras

[daring dragon]

I have seen guides recommend it on auras before so I think it works.

[craggy gyro]

i see

[daring dragon]

Well your screenshot above makes me not so sure anymore.

Since there are two separate mods.

[craggy gyro]

i also read it wrong

[shut abyss]

does auras tell you their radius ingame? if yes could easily test it

[craggy gyro]

the second mod says it increases the effect

not the area of effect

my mistake

haha

[daring dragon]

I misread exactly like you xD

[craggy gyro]

i guess area of effect applies to everything

since it does not specify anything

[daring dragon]

That's my thoughts as well

[shut abyss]

but magnified effect support gem doesn't work on auras?

but works with banners...

weird, ping me if you figure it out

[daring dragon]

That's exactly the one I have seen recommended in guides on auras

[scenic salmon]

Only one way to find out

[shut abyss]

but i don't wanna test it i should be doing irl stuff D:

[granite musk]

me and my friend beat trials of sekhemas got hit by a delayed explosion after boss it said complete but also failed and i can't go into the final room to claim my ascendancy

[shut abyss]

and again we go i guess

[daring dragon]

You might need to clear it again.

[granite musk]

goddamnnit that took us like 4 tries and we only beat it cuz we got lucky with our rolls getting honor restor in every area almost

[shut abyss]

few levels, gear upgrades, some skill swaps maybe.
honor resistance relic(cap is 75%) and max honor helps alot

[granite musk]

@shut abyss we just don't have that, I'm using the stuff I can, lvl 24 so 3 over. It's just a pain I'm not doing enough damage on witch, I'm doing mainly support for him playing merc but we had to go thru like 7 rooms before boss, it's annoying

[shut abyss]

are you using raging spirits?

[shut abyss]

@daring dragon @craggy gyro so you can't support alchemist whatever with magnified effect and it says it grants the aura to allies in your presence

[daring dragon]

Appreciate you reporting back!

[shut abyss]

i was 9 levels over on my first char and on my warrior i changed my build but i bet there's changes you could do

[daring dragon]

Good community here

[dark talon]

Does GGG do hour long podcasts for patch announcements or can we expect a change log?

Reminded of the excruciatingly long interview last time. I just wanted to know if the game was gonna come to macOS so watched the whole damn thing. Rather not do that again.

[shut abyss]

ahh someone is going to sum it up after it anyway

[clever geode]

how does this works

[dark talon]

Like the three dragon helmet. It just converts. If you add more fire dmg it will have more to convert.

[robust gulch]

Question: Does this affect poison launched by Skeleton Archers Command skill?

[clever geode]

i mean

how does 122% of fire dmg converted

[dark talon]

You do 100 fire dmg it becomes 122 cold dmg and builds freezup

[knotty pelican]

Anyone got any tips for the trails of chaos? Running it for my second ascendency points at level 45 but the debuffs are wrecking me

[vast nexus]

U think a skeletal arsonist build w flame wall etc can get me trough act 3? (I js dont know if i should think about changing my build alr)

[dark talon]

Don’t think so. Those say minions or allies. But then again it’s a command ability. So maybe

[robust gulch]

🤔

[dark talon]

Yes. Granted you got minion survivability and a fast revive.

[daring dragon]

Just to make sure because someone is asking and I can't remember anymore. The act 2 relics are useless on cruel difficulty right?

[dark talon]

I thought you got different buffs.

[daring dragon]

No idea anymore honestly

I cant remember finding a second altar and getting a second buff.

[clever geode]

you sure
cause from what it read it say #% converted to cold dmg
not all my fire dmg to #% cold

[granite musk]

@shut abyss i don't have spirit gem or i would get it if I'm right level

[noble siren]

how check quality of things ?

[daring dragon]

It says directly on the item right at the top

[daring dragon]

Did some more research and lists of all campaign buffs don't include anything related to the quest in cruel.

[safe lance]

I leveled like 4 chars now and I think guides might be wrong. I am pretty sure cruel had life recovery from flasks. But I remember people saying it was same. Let me check rq

[daring dragon]

I would appreciate it. I'm googling for 10 minutes already.

[noble siren]

where ?

[daring dragon]

Well this item has no quality so it also won't state it.

[noble siren]

seriously

man it need to have word "quality" ?

[clever geode]

it will have

[noble siren]

and what I can do with that then on bench ?

[clever geode]

if u got quality

nothing

[tribal wagon]

so based on this, "gain #% of dmg as extra [dmg type]", is a type of conversion (like archmage), does this mean, the dmg I get from archmage is scaled more with #% increased lightning dmg?\

[daring dragon]

With your shown item, nothing yeah.

[safe lance]

----------
30% increased charm charges gained / 15% increased mana recovery from flasks

act 2 cruel
-----------
30% increased charm charges gained / 15% increased life recovery from flasks```

[noble siren]

yes, but when I find some , than what I can do on that bech with it>?

[daring dragon]

Salvage it to get items to increase an items quality

[noble siren]

I play 3 weeks na dont have any qith quality, how its possible ?

[daring dragon]

You play 3 weeks and the helmet above is the best you can offer? How far into the game are you?

[clever geode]

3 weeks and you still in campaign?

[daring dragon]

Thank you very much

[safe lance]

The items that drop with quality also have "superior" in front of name

[noble siren]

this one better ? yes Im in 1st act going to kill the Count

[foggy birch]

i like the confidence

[safe lance]

however if you add quality yourself it wont change name

[novel vale]

noob dumb question but when yall full clear maps do yall kill all of the mobs too? wondering whati should do

[safe lance]

And it sounds like you maybe played a total of 2-4 in the 3 weeks? Understandable because holidays.

[daring dragon]

Well you have barely played and you arr still very early so yes you might haven't seen any quality items yet or you didn't recognized them by not paying attention.

[safe lance]

I full clear because I am very low on waystones. I also open as many chests as I can.

[noble siren]

yes i have to going to work and have familly

[daring dragon]

You essentially asked this yesterday and I told you during campaign it's entirely up to you.

[safe lance]

oh wait this is campaign?

[daring dragon]

The answer I gave you yesterday also applies here

[daring dragon]

Yes

[novel vale]

alr no need to be an ass about it

[safe lance]

Then yea I dont clear. But poe2 might not be that bad to explore compared to poe1 as there is some value in finding all the checkpointed things in an area.

I just leveled a twink and killed maybe a total of 5 mobs before runnign to viper. I had super high MS and could just run.

I think the right term for the "maps" in acts is areas but it could just be me. Its a bit misleading to call them maps, I thought like endgame maps.

[stark lynx]

Zones

[safe lance]

that is poe1

how about areazones

or elon's maps

[bold vapor]

I can't seem to get to the checkpoint left for the second tomb before lachlann fight up north? Am I missing something on this map

[safe lance]

nah it just has some random gear drops

there is one with gold inside but I think its inside one of the tombs

[novel vale]

after killing jamanra the hooded one doesnt identify items anymore?

[safe lance]

he will after he moves to the next act

Just use your scrolls this one time or wait and identify after he moves to zigg.

I want to add that some things might not be worth identifying. So you can just vendor them right away.

[novel vale]

kk thats annoying but ty

[eager basin]

map gen bug

[green valve]

why the fuck does Monk get falling thunder as first skill on campaign start when it needs power charges to do anything useful

[thorny swift]

@glacial palm what gems do you like to use with unearth?

[tranquil finch]

yo

[foggy birch]

falling thunder go hard...

[tranquil finch]

i am like killing minions but they are getting back up with full health

what is happening is this a bug

[foggy birch]

wot

[tranquil finch]

like i am killing them

but they are getting revived

[foggy birch]

maybe by some other mobs

summoners or some shit

kill the mob that revives them

lmaoooooo

[languid nexus]

what level do lvl 3 support gems drop?

[foggy birch]

cruel 2/3

[languid nexus]

ok thanks azzab

[dapper acorn]

hey is the trading cross server?

[silent pulsar]

It’s an affix on rare monsters. It’s called “revives minions”

[narrow talon]

Ah, perfect! Just completed Act 1

[copper spindle]

How do people get to 550 spirit? Every guide on maxroll is like "get energy shield" (minion master) and anyway i would think youd want health not energy shield given the spirit given from health?

[rustic venture]

you can boost energy shield a lot more than life/hp.

[vast nexus]

what are some good support gems i can use on raise zombie skill?

[rustic venture]

the server selection is only for the session. the characters are all on "one server".

[hollow ridge]

is the story/lore of poe2 a continuation from the first one?

[hybrid star]

kinda, the timeline is

we are not exiles anymore we are fugitives

[grizzled swallow]

Can someone help me in Act 5

First Boss

[unkempt kestrel]

Hi, I just finished the 3 acts and now I'm transported to cruel, kinda new to POE games, what should I do now? Play as I did in normal difficulty or should I focus on some things to do better dmgs? Because I feel like I'm not pumping enough (merc using nades)

[grizzled swallow]

Play normal it is quiet easy

Play the Same Style as before

[unkempt kestrel]

oh okay thanks

[grizzled swallow]

Which Level

[unkempt kestrel]

47

[grizzled swallow]

Ok is good

[novel vale]

any tips for silverfist?

[vast nexus]

i lighted the 5 effigies but nothing happened

or is notthing supposed to happen?

[hybrid star]

you have this, for this map only

[pine oar]

Sooooo I died how do I pick it up now, I am stuck up top and lift does not work.

[sleek fjord]

anyone else experiencing fire wall making spark not shoot out after a couple seconds?

[last ember]

guys, im lvl 40 and Im starting to feel mana problems, im a lightning arrow archer, how do you guys solve this?

[last herald]

loot filters can make the game crash? since i installed some the game randomly crash

im crashing when doings end game map

[cold nebula]

which doi you guys think is better?

[foggy birch]

depens what loot filter uu using

i have neversink lootfilter and never crashed

[whole moon]

Hello, can someone tell me how I get the Skillgem : Cast while channeling? I don´t find it in the Spiritgemlist.

[lament stone]

dont use fextra wiki

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Path_of_Exile_2_Wiki

this is a link to the official wiki

anyway, cast while channeling does not exist in poe2

its one of the leftover things in the code from poe1

[loud harbor]

how to improve quality of SIGIL POWER?

[lament stone]

use arcanists etchers on the weapon that grants the sigil of power skill

[loud harbor]

dosent work

maybe must be maxed?

[pine oar]

hey I died on the molton vault boss and the quest item is there but I cannot get to it, what can I do?

[lament stone]

oh that sounds like its still bugged then

i thought someone said the quality on caster weapons was fixed, but i guess not

[lament stone]

the only solution there is to reset the zone and do it all again

[loud harbor]

it works - showing increase sigil radius on skill stats...

[lament stone]

oh you were just looking at the wrong thing?

the skill on the weapon itself rather than in the skill menu?

[astral pilot]

how can i be standing here afk just fine for 10+ minutes (was reading guides, checking back with the game occasionally to check gems etc so i KNOW this had been safe for a long time) and then randomly die lol

[lament stone]

because that area is not a town, enemies can walk into it

[astral pilot]

i assumed they wouldnt aggro and randomly walk all this way here unless you walked nearby

do they just always roam even when you havent explored yet?

[frozen vapor]

What means increase chaos damage on weapon?

I will do more damage?

[lament stone]

the ones not far offscreen probably do

[lament stone]

it increases the chaos damage you do, if you dont do any chaos damage it doesnt have anything to increase

[zenith hare]

it happened to me also, the enemy actually are not stationary, and they move a little on map, they also explore😂

[lament stone]

caster weapon quality still buggy af, got it

[frozen vapor]

How to check if i do chaos damage?

[lament stone]

you can check in your skill gem menu

but if youre an attack base build and dont have any flat chaos damage on your weapon, its very likely you dont do any chaos damage

[loud harbor]

ty for help

[frozen vapor]

Yes

[wise hatch]

Hey I just reached the Jiquani's Machinarium and for some reason I am unable to interact with the stone altar even though I have the small soul core in my inventory?

[rigid bridge]

The skill on the left doesn't show quality though. The increased value from right side could/would be from your passive tree

[last ember]

is dualstring(addtional arrow) important for lightning rod build?

[tall jasper]

hi guys, question please, which Class in POE2 is the fastest leveling and can solo any boss

[hybrid star]

Elon's class

Every character can use any weapon and skills so it's more of a skill choice than classes

[scenic salmon]

Any of them
I'm partial to blood mage DD but I'll say the strongest is likely spark

[fallow dune]

hi guys how do i see the items im selling on the poe website? i tried sort by account and typed my name but nothing came up?

[daring dragon]

You are supposed to put them into the power generators.

[scenic salmon]

You sure? Waited a couple minutes?

[fallow dune]

i typed my account name with the 4 digit number but my items didnt show up

[fallow dune]

yeah

i went to eat and came back

[hybrid star]

missing the #?

[fallow dune]

with the hashtag

[scenic salmon]

Jdjfkdkdn

[fallow dune]

: P

cuz i wanna sell this 2div amulet

i have to fund my stormweaver build

[scenic salmon]

Screenshot the item you posted

Maybe will find some clues

[tall jasper]

Monk evoker?

[lyric fiber]

What does the tier 3 mean ?

[daring dragon]

It means it rolls with general higher stats then let's say a t2

[hybrid star]

that, stormweaver archmage, lightning arrow deadeye,...

but info on nerfs and stuff coming tomorrow

[lyric fiber]

Hmnnnn I see, what the max tier you can drop in a item ?

[daring dragon]

Play whatever u fancy or look up some tierlists.

[tall jasper]

spark ?:)

[daring dragon]

No idea

[lyric fiber]

Okok, ty ^_^

[tall jasper]

Mercenary witchhunter bad idea for solo boss and fast leveling?

[tired forge]

Question if I may

What does "Pinning" do exactly?

[scenic salmon]

https://youtu.be/hwlKJUdbNVc?si=Wcg_-x8sIjeKqAIv
Spark

[fallow dune]

idk if it’s actually 2 div but like

yeah

[thorny vortex]

I accidently crushed a quest item does it matter?
I got +10% ressistance

[tall jasper]

thanks jewel face, and thank you all for kind help 🙂

[wise hatch]

thats how they work, they are meant to give you buffs when you crush them

[thorny vortex]

nice i thought i couldnt do the quest then

[wise hatch]

They are more of a reward item than a quest item

[foggy birch]

if that amulet is 2 iv

then im santa claus

[fallow dune]

lol it’s just a placeholder value tbh I haven’t really price checked

[foggy birch]

okokoko dont get mad at me,,.,

[wise hatch]

But there are some quest items later on that aren't for buffs.

[fallow dune]

my issue is that I can’t find the item I listed

even after searching the account name

[foggy birch]

wdym

u listed and its gone_

[thorny vortex]

We got free portals to town now ? 😮

[daring dragon]

I tried to find my items that way just now to test and it doesn't works for me either. You can always look up your item by searching manually via the various filters tho. I don't see how looking up your items specifically would help with a pricecheck tho so not sure why you wanna do it.

[foggy birch]

maybe u sold it to somebdy whilst u were drunk

and dont remember

[daring dragon]

They literally just showed us the item in their stash lol

[fallow dune]

I’m not doing it for a price check it’s my first time selling things and I wanted to see if I actually did list the items or I somehow did something wrong

but thanks I’ll try searching by filters

[clear vine]

is this expensive?

[daring dragon]

My bad, I misunderstood a previous comment of yours then. If you put the item into a premium stash tab, set the tab to public and either set a price for the individual item or the whole tab then you did everything correctly.

[solar grove]

why im not building up charges for charged staff? 😄

[daring dragon]

#price-check📉

[foggy birch]

i think this urs lil bro

[clear vine]

that doesn't answer my question

[daring dragon]

The thread I linked you includes a guide on how to price check.

[fallow dune]

OOH tysm!!!

[daring dragon]

Do with that whatever you want.

[clear vine]

ive read it through, doesn't help

[supple quail]

can i fight lachlann again?
i mean
he doesnt seem to want to spawn again in new instance

[daring dragon]

Yes it does. Good luck

[tired forge]

!

[last ember]

anyone else ping jumped?

[tired forge]

I am Level 50 and I just figured out witches can use sorceress spells too T-T

Facepalm, does this make me an idiot?

[daring dragon]

Nope. It's not usual for games to have such an open skill system and the game even hides other classes skills from you unless you look for them.

Definitely not stupid to not immediately realize that each class can use each skill.

[tired forge]

OK, but I could so use that extra DPS when I was L20 though, that stage was hell for me.

[thorny vortex]

Can I have 2 wands equipped?

[tired forge]

OK, so raging spirits come out of fire spell with AOE, which do you think is best spell for this?

Am guessing Solar Orb or Fireball

[topaz junco]

Sure

[lament stone]

what are you using to generate charges?

[topaz junco]

Depends on build but general consensus is flame wall

[lament stone]

you cant have 2 of the same caster weapon equipped

[clear vine]

How long does Malice last?

[topaz junco]

Really? I remember going through part of act 1 with double wand?

[lament stone]

in poe2?

[topaz junco]

Ye

[lament stone]

you sure it wasnt wand + sceptre?

[thorny vortex]

damn i cant

[thorny vortex]

tried it and couldnt

[topaz junco]

Nope

Hmm. Maybe I stumbled on a weapon swap bug then

Sorry

[thorny vortex]

ye 2 wands

bone wand of talent and berly withered wand

[lament stone]

yea youre not supposed to be able to equip 2 wands at the same time

[tired forge]

tyvm for info : )

[split lark]

is it odd to not have gotten a single uncut skill gem lvl 3 through 32

[solar grove]

what should i use?

[lament stone]

thats several ways, its up to you which one you use

something like combat frenzy + resonance, killing palm, theres a unique that gives power charges on hit, theres just chance to gain power charge on kill on the tree

[scenic kernel]

anyone have the same problem, mobs looking like this only when they moving? hade hurible lag yesterdag and after that every maps looking like this

[solar grove]

ah ok thank you, i was missing combat frenzy

[thorny vortex]

what types of weapon can i dual wield ?

[austere tree]

what will happen when i complete map device ?

or is it endless

[cursive oasis]

Anyone here got a titan build

@austere tree it's endless

[last herald]

is there any away to increase the range of my skill incineration ? ( with jewel or gear or whatever ) already put the gem to increase the range

[lament stone]

martial weapons

[young plaza]

I made the same mistake - didn't realise my level was too low for Combat Frenzy and resonance was effectively killing me gaining charges. Of note I have Killing palm on right click and watch for the mobs with the blue orbs above their head. I also have my charge spender have the support gem that make's have a 25% chance to not use up a charge

[thorny cargo]

What’s the catch with “Giants Blood?” Says i can wield a 2-handed weapon in 1-hand but its not working

[lament stone]

read the full text on giants blood

[rapid reef]

You need triple the stats

[thorny cargo]

Thanks

[mild tangle]

Any tips for the final act 1 boss. Can’t beat him at all after so many attempts

[lament stone]

aim for 300+ life, maybe get more cold res, upgrade weapon for more damage if you can, check skills are all upgraded, and after all that it comes down to just learning the fight

[mild tangle]

I’m a witch with over 400 life. Feels like I’m tickling him everytime I fight him. Only real damage I seem to deal is just chaos spam and minions when they comeback

[lament stone]

are all your skills level 5?

[mild tangle]

Only 4 and one is level 3. Ain’t got a gem to upgrade to 5 yet. Probably something I’m missing

[lament stone]

they should start dropping in the manor

[mild tangle]

Ain’t got a single one to drop then

Still feel like I need more damage tho

[pine oar]

how to reset the zone?

[supple quail]

u cant change modifires on Unique items right?

[daring dragon]

Do you have the overwhelming presence spirit skill?

[daring dragon]

Correct

[rigid bridge]

I used to think it was a bug, that's just how overwheing presence looks lol

[split lark]

how can i get uncut skill gem lvl 3?

[daring dragon]

Rng drop

[glass turtle]

happened on trials of sekhemas. CTRL + leftclick doesnt work. Any workaround for trials of sekhemas specifically?

[split lark]

i keep getting everything lower and above lvl3 😭

[daring dragon]

Keep playing

[sand acorn]

why i have only one reroll in Ritual

[glass turtle]

whats ur ign, i'll give you some

[split lark]

Esptho

[young plaza]

I have some too you can have if you don't have enough

I have 2 Level 3 Uncut Skill gems

[split lark]

All good! vein gave me plenty!

Thank you though

[split lark]

wait actually, i could use one lvl 3 skill gem :D

[young plaza]

coming ....

[foggy birch]

can i get some too

kiddinggg

[young plaza]

ha ha

[foggy birch]

ahahahahahaha

[pine oar]

what setting shows all the items on the ground listed? I just see the thing but the text only shows up briefly how do i get it to stay up?

[young plaza]

on PC i thinbk it's the Z key

[rigid bridge]

Z by default (I bound it to =)

[rigid bridge]

By default only 1 reroll

[split lark]

Does a dualstring bow calculate the dps with only one arrow or both arrows?

[light mirage]

Best build in the game rn???

[foggy birch]

bloodmage

[glass turtle]

spin2win gemling

[light mirage]

Hmm bet

[glass turtle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqV86iNgGh8

[trim turret]

One. Most skills can't hit the same target with multiple projectiles. It's more for clearing.

[split lark]

I see

My build is going for dualstring and i think ive got a decent one, so i think ill just use it

[green valve]

Man Geonor is so fucking garbage at early levels. Like the fight is cool and beautifuly designed but the tools and dmg you have early on if you dont get lucky with gear is terrible

and if you go with a cold build youre double fucked

[abstract delta]

"19% increased Elemental Ailment Threshold" means im building faster freeze on enemies?
Its a bonus on jewel

[trim turret]

Means its harder for them to inflict ailments on you.

[spark creek]

Whats the thing that lets you price check ingame?

Im trying to get into the market game but i would really apreciate it if i didnt have to type all items in the market to check prices

[supple quail]

which icon shows shocked
does this mean 26% till shocked or smth?
i dont think i can hover over it with mouse

[green valve]

it means shock magnitude

you deal 26% increased dmg to them

[azure lava]

Technically it means they take 26% increased damage

[azure lava]

Sidekick I think

[daring dragon]

Iirc it's name was sidekick

[supple quail]

so when it shows up they're shocked
or is shock magnitude=/= shocked

[azure lava]

It means they're shocked with that magnitude

[versed orchid]

What's a good way to build up currency while still in act 2 cruel?

[green valve]

shock is an effect that makes enemies take increased dmg

shock magnite makes the increased damage be even higher

[azure lava]

Keep progressing through the campaign

[green valve]

like the base is 20% increased dmg

the more shock magnitude you have

the more damage they take

[azure lava]

But in general, salvage items with sockets/quality, disenchant rares with six mods

[supple quail]

i needed to just know that this means theyre shocked

thanks buds

[versed orchid]

Trying, but I feel like I've hit a wall where I'm too squishy and need to make better gear 😭

[foggy birch]

bro

what is that

looooooool

a goat fucker... out of nowhere

[supple quail]

hi bud

[versed orchid]

?

Oh lol

[lunar charm]

Are Cruel bosses intended to have one-shot moves, or do I just need to grind out better armor?

[azure lava]

If you feel that way, it's a symptom of not being diligent about upgrading gear up to this point.

Pick up basically everything. Transmute+augment white items that might be upgrades.

Prioritize movement speed on boots, then as much life and resistances as possible. And obviously a high damage weapon is pivotal.

Add sockets to your gear and runes in for resistance. Add quality and sockets to your weapon

Also check vendors and gamble

Vendors restock whenever you level up

[versed orchid]

Thank you

[azure lava]

And if you're picking up loads of loot, sell most of it for gold and you can gamble more

And keep your flasks up to date with two good mods

If a magic item has two great mods, regal it

Wrong reply I think

Also don't disenchant

Unless it's a rare with six mods

Gold >>> regals during the campaign imo

Disenchanting magic items gives you 1/10 of a transmute btw. That's worthless

[real gust]

how worried do i actually have to be about getting hacked? been hearing some things

[daring dragon]

Overall chance is very small, especially if you are new and got nothing of value.

[real gust]

but if i accrue some value the chance is higher?

i'd have expected streamer accounts to already be hacked weeks ago 😛

[daring dragon]

Well the scammers obviously target wealthy accounts over non wealthy so.

[last herald]

the price checker when i try to get it it say its dangerous for my pc logic?

[daring dragon]

Nobody can possibly predict a percentage of how high the chances are that one gets hacked or not.

[foggy birch]

which one

sidekick_

[real gust]

i hope they will improve security

[rain tulip]

guys i want to buy poe 2 is it worth it?

[daring dragon]

Yes

[azure lava]

We can't possibly know how much you'd enjoy the game nor how much you value $30

[scenic salmon]

They must say something about the hacks on the stream
If not I'll recommend not posting too many items worth 20 divs

[foggy birch]

nah these nicknames make me cry today

[rain tulip]

is poe 2 like multiplayer

[real gust]

been playing for a couple of weeks and its already one of my most played games 😅

[daring dragon]

Single or multi, up to you.

[young plaza]

can't steal from you if you have nothing worth stealing

https://tenor.com/view/big-brain-point-finger-at-forehead-forehead-tap-head-tap-tap-forehead-gif-18599618

[azure lava]

It can be played with up to five other people in a party. Most people play solo tho. The entire game can be soloed

[rain tulip]

haha thats great to hear

[rain tulip]

is it easy to find players to play with u

[daring dragon]

Yes

[real gust]

i intend to have things worth stealing in the future though... 😄

[young plaza]

I've heard it's only from premium tabs so I'm not storing anything valuable in any prem. tabs

[azure lava]

Yeah, #2┃looking-for-group is usually popping

[rain tulip]

oh ok thanks man

[azure lava]

No problem, Scooby Jew.

[daring dragon]

Also you can join a guild and use the ingame group finder. You got many options to find people to play with

[rain tulip]

but the 1 problem i have with poe is the skill tree is it the same in poe2

[azure lava]

You can look at the skill tree online. Maxroll has a planner. It's still massive like poe1, but imo the passive tree is one of the easier parts of the game

There are no more life nodes on the passive tree so most people just beeline for damage now. It's pretty straightforward

[rain tulip]

ah ok

[real gust]

yeah

but i find it easier to find guides that help you

[rain tulip]

cuz i asked ppl and they said its the same as poe 1\

[real gust]

the skill tree is also a bit easier to navigate

have you played Diablo 4? Funnily enough i find the paragon system there much more tedious than the skill tree in poe2

[daring dragon]

There are many similarities but they aren't the exact same.

[dim wadi]

its easier

[azure lava]

It's still very large. Similar number of nodes. But now the game won't completely poop on you if you don't take enough life nodes (because there aren't any life nodes)

[rain tulip]

well in poe i would just walk and never get killed is there a Challenge in poe 2 ?

[azure lava]

Poe2 is much harder than poe1 from a gameplay standpoint

But much simpler from a building and gearing perspective (at least for the campaign)

[daring dragon]

It's hard to say since I don't know how skilled you are. For me as someone with general arpg experience but not poe experience its challenging yes.

[rain tulip]

is poe 2 a pretty long game or would u finish it in like 40 hours ?

[azure lava]

Define finish

[daring dragon]

Arpgs can be played for thousands of hours

The campaign is anything from 20-50h

[azure lava]

The campaign takes most people somewhere around 40-80 hours I'd wager

[rugged panther]

can anyone help me wit the Viper boss? 🥺

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[green valve]

how long did you play poe1 and how far did you get?

[rain tulip]

i rly want the game cuz the visual moves and great

[rain tulip]

i didnt get far at all i found it eay and just stopped

easy *

i played maybe 10/20 hours of it

then stopped

[green valve]

lmao. that's like playing the tutorial in a game and logging out because they go easy on you on the TUTORIAL

[rain tulip]

lol i know but it felt so easy it was not fun

[green valve]

poe2 campaign is harder than 1 I'd say. But it's nothing crazy

[lone mica]

How does this guy have energy shield still even tho hes using Eldrich? And not using the unique for that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu_g1y9dpxU

[lament stone]

hes using ghostwrithe

[lone mica]

AH! Maybe he hsouldve mentioned that small aspect of it in order to keep ES. Oh well thanks!

I guess Eldrich is really mandatory in order to get mana up...

[craggy gyro]

Hey i want to play Explosiv shot what is better Ranger or Merc? ^^

[scenic salmon]

What does explosive shot say?

[clear vine]

do you get more drops/rarer drops when playing with other people?

[trim turret]

Depends how you build them.

[craggy gyro]

i mean i like grenades to but merc have a little to much i mean 4 ... is very much .. and ranger have one gas grenade is this enough for to make dmg ... i dont know ^^

[trim turret]

Well if you want to use explosive shot at least one of your weapons needs to be a crossbow, but you can weapon swap and use bows and ranger skills also. Again, it's all in how you decide to build it. Any class can use any skill.

[scenic salmon]

Be infernalist screw the bottom classes

[foggy birch]

how dare u

[foggy birch]

the game says yes

in the tooltip while loading

[craggy gyro]

nono Crossbow is fine all but i mean the Reloading is... somtimes very clunky i dont know why but its ok i like this shotgun thing but i mean is is Gas enough or is gas+Oil+Explo Grenades better ? when you are in a boss fight is very hard to say what i use now . ^^

[copper spindle]

Hey Im not new but it says I need to speak to Doryani after doing some runs at end game but i cant figure out where to go?

[trim turret]

I cant tell you what's better. Again, it's how you build it. Some builds use several grenades, some use none. I basically used permafrost bolts and fragmentation rounds to freeze and explode enemies for a long time. It's about setting up combos, no matter what those combos are..

[wild depot]

there's no trade site for poe 2? And are exalts valuable or chaos orbs?

[craggy gyro]

ok thx 🙂

[azure lava]

Pathofexile.com/trade2

[azure lava]

#2┃after-acts-help and I'm in the same boat. I was told to just keep progressing

[azure lava]

More? Yes. Rarer? I don't know. But you definitely get more drops or else everyone would be getting less loot than if you ran solo

[green valve]

im taking a liking to cold spells monk

i started a new monk to go chaos spells but cold is working pretty fucking nice

[pine oar]

What does "leeches? feature do on this staff?

[azure lava]

Hold alt and click the word to find out

[pine oar]

So it will do less damage and refund mana?

[runic acorn]

okay so adding a ''lightning modifier' to a ring which already has lightning damage should increase its overall lightning damage or am i looking at it wrong?

[azure lava]

What do you mean by "adding a lightning modifier"? Like via an essence?

[runic acorn]

via catalayst

[azure lava]

#2┃after-acts-help and catalysts don't add modifiers

Catalysts add quality

[runic acorn]

so what is this mean then?

[azure lava]

Hold alt and read what quality does. It basically boosts lightning mods on the ring by its quality %

[runic acorn]

so id does exactly what it does as i thought so

[azure lava]

No, you said it added a modifier

Which is completely different

You mistook quality for adding a lightning mod I guess

[runic acorn]

okay, but so far i dont see my lightning damage number go up and i have added 10% so far :/

[azure lava]

Does the ring have any lightning mods?

[runic acorn]

yup

29% and 1-52

[azure lava]

Can you screenshot it?

It should be including the quality bonus into the number in it. If you hold alt it should show its base value, I think

[runic acorn]

its just went up by a %, cheres for the help 🙂

[gentle linden]

how do i sustain mana on str stacking gemling? im in act 3 and always run out mid fight against bosses

[broken zenith]

hello guys wassup, i have a question about difficulty in game (normal\hardcore\ssf) does it change loot? and is there any websites where i can search guides(tips/etc) for builds?

[lament stone]

theres no difference in loot

[broken zenith]

so hardcore and ssf just cuts out part of the game functions? : O

[gentle linden]

technically its easier to get loot in normal than ssf since you can buy specific gear

[azure lava]

What skill(s) are you using? If you deal physical damage, then mana leech is pretty good. Otherwise mana nodes, reduced mana cost of skills, inspiration support, using fewer items with +gem levels, more base mana, better mana flask (with flask passives maybe), etc

[broken zenith]

well, i thought if you play higher difficulty you get better stuff, and i got question, is there any sense to run max luck builds?

[lament stone]

hardcore means that when you die your character gets removed from hardcore league and goes to standard
ssf means that you cant interact with other players

[lament stone]

theyre not "higher difficulties"

[broken zenith]

i know meaning, it was explained in game, i was wondering only about loot

[azure lava]

I love ssf because in trade league I always feel pressured to constantly do the most profitable strategy all the time. In ssf you actually need to engage with all the game's systems and I find it far more enjoyable

[gentle linden]

i havent seen the math but people usually run rarity if they can fit it

[broken zenith]

profitable strategy? wdym?

[azure lava]

It's more of an endgame thing, but there are lots of types of content in poe. In trade league I feel pressured to do the one specific strat that pumps the most currency per hour and buy everything else

[broken zenith]

oh that sounds not fun at all

[gentle linden]

basically run the same thing over and over to get an item other people want then trade for upgrades

[lament stone]

there is no difficulty settings, the game is mechanically just as hard in softcore as it is in hardcore or ssf, the only difference is how you have to play to deal with the differences, like playing safer or building more defences to not die in hardcore, or picking up items and saving them in ssf when you normally wouldnt in a trade league

[broken zenith]

eww that sounds like chinese grinding

[azure lava]

If you can ignore that pressure and want a smoother progression without dealing with learning all the game's systems, then trade might be for you

[gentle linden]

the game is a grind at the end thats just the gameplay loop

[broken zenith]

so its for pussies?

[azure lava]

The company that made this game is called Grinding Gear Games and they are owned by Tencent, a Chinese company, so...

[broken zenith]

wow didn't knew that

well china anyway capturing world so

if they give me pack of rice i'm not worried

[azure lava]

GGG has full* autonomy, but they have the funding of Tencent now

[rose berry]

Guys, I'm stuck AF on act3 boss. I'd like an opinion on whether it would be a good idea to trade my only div for 100+ exalted orbs to upgrade my crap gear. Or would it be a mistake to sell the div?

[nocturne vessel]

Hello, I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I did a trade with someone and he hasn't leaved my h/o. I know there has been a few corcerns regarding hacks with that. I was wondering what could I do to kick him out?

[azure lava]

Tencent mostly uses their ip to make a shitty Chinese version with p2w mechanics that's separate from GGG's

[broken zenith]

oh yea i have another question if you can answer, how i should farm gold? like i turn all leg items to shards, and some blue to other shards and sell some, but i don't get enough gold to buy all thingies i want

should i just sell everything?

[azure lava]

Imo, in the campaign, you should sell everything you're not salvaging

[broken zenith]

god bless ggg

[last herald]

howto get a good necklace for end game ? i need lot of resistance

[azure lava]

And you should salvage rares with 2 sockets, and any non-rares with quality and/or sockets, imo

[azure lava]

Buy one on the trade side, check vendors, craft one, or get a lucky ground drop. Or some combination of those

[broken zenith]

yes i saw that in guide, sadly my game runs 30-50 fps 😦 is there any potato mod i can make to play game?

[rose berry]

What about single socket rares?

[azure lava]

I lower my render resolution and enable dynamic culling and it helps a bit. I set all my graphics to lowest

[last herald]

on trade even a low one are soo expensive

[gentle linden]

do you have a loot filter?

ground clutter will kill your game

[azure lava]

I prefer to sell those. One artificer shard is usually worse than 1k+ gold

[broken zenith]

thanks gonna try that, i woudnt mind if they made old rpg graphics settings for game, its anyway would be fire to play in terms of gameplay, wasd and rolls just makes it much more enjoyable

btw selling in game items\currency for real money is illegal in this game? right?

[rose berry]

Dude I'm at 22 fps. Making act3 boss so hard

[gentle linden]

yep just like every other mmo

[rose berry]

Sometimes in the teens

[broken zenith]

thats sucks homie 😦

[rose berry]

It's enough to be able to level though! If I can get past this stupid boss

Been stuck for days. I need to trade my div for exalts so I can upgrade my crap gear

[gentle linden]

whats your gear now?

[broken zenith]

ok thanks guys gl, gonna play some more

[azure lava]

Personally I think if you're stuck on a boss in the campaign it's because you've not been diligent enough about upgrading your gear as you progressed. So if you're really hard stuck you can either ask for a carry or upgrade gear. Upgrading gear can be done with trading (ie, selling the div), crafting/upgrading your gear (which should be more than sufficient if you've been managing your resources properly), or going back to regrind old zones (which is the absolute worst case scenario and should not EVER be necessary, imo)

[rose berry]

Blue amulet and rings, +2 lightning spell level wand, rare focus, innsmouth helm

[gentle linden]

hows your dps and resistances?

[rose berry]

Fire and lightning 70%, ice 25%, chaos 16%

[weak slate]

does lightning rod work with orb of storms?

[rose berry]

DPS 600 or so spark build

[lament stone]

unique does not mean good (especially in this case, mana regen rate is bugged at the moment and doesnt do what its supposed to)

[azure lava]

Yes. It's insanely good, too. https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1326972100409426081

[rose berry]

The unique is just the best I've found for my class. I'll sell the div and upgrade. Thanks gang.

[grave bluff]

how the hell do you beat something u can't target ? what is this vaal factory boss

[lament stone]

a magic item with life + elemental resists would be better

[rose berry]

Life>ES point for point?

[gentle linden]

nah es >>>life

[lament stone]

life > es until you can effectively recover es

[gentle linden]

like its not even remotely balanced

[lament stone]

it takes 4s without getting hit for es recharge to start

[azure lava]

1. Does your gear have sockets? If not, socket them and put runes in.
2. Are you prioritizing movement speed on boots and life/resistances everywhere else?
3. Does your main skill have good supports and/or a socket added for a third support (if you have found a lesser jewelers orb)?
4. If you have blue items with two good mods, regal them
5. Are your flasks (especially life) up to date with two good mods?

During the campaign, life > ES

[gentle linden]

if theyre dieing to a boss its probably a single big hit so if they tank it they should be able to recover

[lament stone]

grim feast is a thing

[lament stone]

its almost always recovery early on

[azure lava]

Yeah I haven't tried that. Might be nifty. Eternal youth also seems nifty

[azure lava]

#2┃after-acts-help

[rose berry]

How many acts are there?

[lament stone]

6

[rose berry]

Jeeze

[lament stone]

act 4-6 arent actually ingame yet, so act 1-3 have higher level versions (cruel acts)

[safe lance]

is there any regex to filter by total ES value on gear?

[wild depot]

is there character planner like for poe 1?

[rose berry]

Understood, thanks

[azure lava]

Maxroll has a character builder, but it's nowhere near as intricate as pob

[azure lava]

You cannot use comparators in regex as far as I'm aware

[safe lance]

I wanted to do like 3 digits etc, I really just wanted the text

filtering boots with 3 chars on energy shield value but idk how to match that value

like ilvl works for the value next to level

[azure lava]

You'd have to enter the exact values for it to work, I think.
"ES: 499" No hits? "ES: 500"... Etc.
Not that exact syntax but that would be the gist.

Well, regex might be able to use wildcards. I'm not sure tbh

[safe lance]

you should be able to do d{3} but checking the ES part ty

hmm d{} doesnt work. Idk if it is the ES part or the regex itself. Maybe I should escape it. I tested on ilvl:d{2} and that didnt work either, so ES probably correct. I'll try and update.

[brisk hedge]

I wanted to follow neversink's filter, but the old url for his profile doesn't work anymore.
https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/NeverSink

[eager basin]

wtf is d supposed to be

d{3} is checking for specifically the string ddd

[eager basin]

"eld: [0-9]{3}" should match what you're after

[safe lance]

was trying backslash d

I also tried the simpler way [0-9][0-9][0-9]

but ES was the issue

will try eld

[eager basin]

hmm

[safe lance]

yes both work, ty

[eager basin]

put it in quotes

I think that was matching some unrelated fields too

[safe lance]

I am currently on PS5 with no keyboard so it took a while to enter

[tired forge]

So am I correct in guessing "Necromatic Talisman" skill is a potential game changer for minion builds?

[safe lance]

hmm no, it isnt seem to be working correctly even if I try to hit a specific value, I'll try later on PC, its too painful to type on controller.

[tired forge]

And that the Amulet should be stuffed basically full of + Attack modifiers?

[azure lava]

Not necessarily. Some minions use spells, some want to be tankier, some unique amulets do some wild stuff, etc

[wild depot]

does allies in your presence buff apply to you as well?

[azure lava]

No, you're not your own ally

[eager basin]

you are your own greatest enemy

[safe lance]

people who use CI and mana flask that eats life ^

[hollow flare]

ok so my friend is on the Ivory Tusk quest, he killed both the mammoth and necromancer but the tusk wont drop

[tired forge]

What conditions on Amulet can apply to minions?

[safe lance]

yea I saw someone report this earlier. You can search for it in this channel, but I think killing either mammoth or necro first seemed to fix it for them

[azure lava]

Too many to list

[tired forge]

Or rather is there a way to see detail of what buffs are being applied to minions?

[trim turret]

Just ones that mention minions or allies.

[azure lava]

The main thing that doesn't work with necromantic is the +level of gems mods. Since minions don't use skills like that. I think...

[fleet sleet]

How do i link gear to chat using a controller? (I’m on PC but using a controller)

[tired forge]

No, I meant with Necromantic Talisman skill

Since that skill applies Amulet's traits to minion instead of me.

So for example, if I use it with Xoph's Blood, does this mean all my minions now exposes enemy to fire exposure?

[safe lance]

If I am trying to craft from normal gear bases, which is better? transmute > aug > regal > exalt or just gamble and alch?

[azure lava]

Idk what it does, but it would be as if all your minions were wearing that amulet

[tired forge]

Wait

And if the amulet has
"20% increased Rarity of Items found", wouldnt this mean there is now 10 of this item in party?

[azure lava]

That's not how rarity works

Only the person who dealt the killing blow has their rarity count

And all minion kills are attributed to you for the sake of rarity

[tired forge]

Ahh tyvm for info.

[dark talon]

But it was 122% percent. That’s all and then some.

[real gust]

i've seen some people with only 1 hp how does that work?

[sudden cairn]

Hey! If I run a T15 map with a friend of mine, will his exp gain be halved?
