[scarlet tapir]

I'm on act 3 on my sorc and it was pretty eazy getting here

[frozen star]

anyone that has any spare uncut support gem lvl 1 or a spare spirit gem?

[scarlet tapir]

Act 2 boss was a 2 min fight and I tanked it lol

[fleet sleet]

how much does level scale in regards to trial of sekhemas?

[humble karma]

is there a other way by decreasing infernal flame beside waiting 2 sec?

[azure lava]

The name the top is just the type of challenge that you'll face in it. It won't abandon the whole thing

The number of floors is stated on the djinn barya

[azure lava]

For difficulty, it matters as much as level does elsewhere. Monsters have more health and damage based on their level.

For rewards, not much. Just raises the ilvl of the gear that drops and better relics, primarily

[fleet sleet]

Thank you! ❤️ The mobs were harder than the boss for me regarding honour depletion for my practice run.

It was only lvl 52 too ruhroh

[pine oar]

everytime you die in a map, you lost XP? why would I do this? lol is there another way to level up?

[odd veldt]

Nope kills mobs

[flint plume]

There's no way to get a significant amount of experience without risking losing experience once you're at post-campaign levels. Maps also just give much more and better loot than the campaign.

You can do Trial of Sekhemas, which can give some XP and failing it without dying doesn't cause you to lose XP, although in my experience it gives way less XP than mapping

[light mortar]

If I did 1 chaos and 1 sekhemas trial, I have to finish Act 3 cruel to finish getting ascendency points, yes?

[plush mantle]

you have to finish Act 3 cruel to get to an area level where baryas and ultimatums drop that would give you your next points

[light mortar]

@plush mantle ahhh TY for that info - been trying to figure it out for far too long now.

[sweet rivet]

How long does it take for support to respond? I have this issue due to having 2 accounts in 1.

Ok

[copper nest]

how many clerics:arsonists would i want w/ enough for 5? 2 clerics / 3 arsonists? or 1 cleric / 4 arsonist? ~lvl 65

[cold nebula]

what the fuck

on the last fucking boss

[regal jasper]

is anyone here helping a new player out? i've been stuck at ogham manor for a few days now

[minor tartan]

Hey can I have a price check here?

[tall gulch]

I am doing a 4 floors, trials of sekhema. Can I leave and take a break after the 2nd floor, and come back later?

[copper nest]

i grinded to 18 to get lvl 6 gems and it helped to kill count ez

[fresh mulch]

what is magic find?

[cursive radish]

Can someone explain to me what im doing wrong i cant make it to even cruel because i never seem to have enough damage or resistances

[copper nest]

i finally made it to a3 cruel on hcssf and basically just overleveled a lot and used ton of vendors for gear. 18 a1, 36 a2, 50 a3 then had the stats i need and didnt need to grind anything once in cruel

[trim turret]

Days? That sounds like you have major build issues.

[cursive radish]

ive check the vendors everytime i level up what they have never "seems" better than what i have but ive yet to even touch cruel cause i just get randomly tapped

[trim turret]

Disenchant or salvage gear, check vendors and gamblers, don't be afraid to use currency on good gear or even potentially good gear.

[copper nest]

yea ive also been eyeing white + blue items to get the affix you need. like im doing infernalist so emphasize all gambling and items on + minions

and +spirit

and yea never have any currency bc i use it all

[cursive radish]

ive tried getting gear from other people its just to expensive

[trim turret]

Even finding a better base white item to craft on can sometimes yield better results. You using runes?

[trim turret]

Good items shouldn't cost more than an exalt. Which maybe you don't have many of those but you shouldn't really need them.

[glacial palm]

Quite often you don't pick up a vendor item because it's "better" than what you have. Often it's a chance at a good white/blue base that you could invest very little in and get a decent item out of 🙂

[cursive radish]

whats considered a good base? like what makes it a good base?

[dusky burrow]

if the numbers are big

and if the implicit is good

[glacial palm]

Being a better base item than the item you currently have equipped (higher ilvl, higher stats), or having stats on it already that you want but don't have (or don't have enough of)

Like this game gets a good bit harder if you just rely on being able to equip what you picked up as-is.

[muted falcon]

Anyone able to come help me run through the matlan waterways?

[glacial palm]

Not impossible, but you can make life easier with just a little crafting.

[dusky burrow]

#2┃looking-for-group

[muted falcon]

Thanks

[cursive radish]

when i died i had 700 hp 200 es 40armor 70% evasion 50 fr 45 cr 40 lr 6cr and i got 1 tapped

but i also dont understand how some of the modifiers affect certain skills

[glacial palm]

I mean, the 70% evasion doesn't mean much when we're talking about "getting 1 tapped"
I would also have to see a clip, as I've seen pros say they got "1 tapped" while standing in a pool surrounded by monsters 😅

[muted falcon]

This is also campaign help if anyone's down?

[glacial palm]

But depending on where you are in the game, 900 total life pool isn't a ton.

[dusky burrow]

help as in advice

[cursive radish]

i was at the begining of act 3

[glacial palm]

So I don't know what the rule of thumb is for this game yet, but common advice given was 300 hp per act back in the first game as a minimum

You're 200hp below that, and evasion will help you get hit less often but it's not going to make those hits any weaker.

[cursive radish]

my gear is usually no where near that good

[glacial palm]

Well, it doesn't take much to beat the game in terms of gear. Mostly just keeping your weapon up to date so your damage is good, and getting good defensive stats on the rest of your gear

[cursive radish]

i was using the unique bow for bonus quiver

and i was running a poison build gem merc

[midnight bolt]

If you already have Arcane Intensity node from the skill tree, would doing an annoit of it means you get 2x the effect?

[zinc basalt]

is end game really that ass or is it not bad

[glacial palm]

#2┃after-acts-help , but in short I think it's fine it's just that people want more.

They're likely to get it too, but it's not there yet.

Especially after the sheer quality of the campaign, it's hard to look good in comparison.

[dusky burrow]

poe1 endgame sets very high expectations

[glacial palm]

I think that's a great point I never include

Like poe campaign was a stepping stone to get me to the most fun part of the game.

[subtle grove]

can someone help with act doryani boss

[glacial palm]

poe2, I actually sometimes start a new character because the campaign playthrough was enough fun.

[glacial palm]

#2┃looking-for-group

Unless you have any questions about them, would be happy to answer 🙂

[trim turret]

You can't stack nodes that way, no.

[craggy gyro]

does the increased item quantity impact the simulacrum splinters?

[dusky burrow]

we dont know for sure for poe2

but you can check this page for poe1 data https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Drop_rate

[wild depot]

is there list of unique items and jewels(if any) somewhere?

[dusky burrow]

poe2db.tw

[dusky burrow]

we find that it shows ❌ for all sources of quant, with the note Drop chance scales with map tier, Deliriousness.

[weary cloud]

the good lootfilter

is filterblade right

[dusky burrow]

yes

its the defacto choice

[weary cloud]

okies thanks

[last raven]

i just finish act3 cruel boss and kinda stuck, where should i farm for better gear before go to atlas mapping?

[quasi fog]

I somehow ended up with 2 of the same skill gem. Can I combine them or anything?

[kindred zenith]

i went straight to mapping after

do your 10 t 1s 10t 2s so on and so on

[last raven]

oh

but my res is super low

like 10% lol

[dusky burrow]

...

yeah you're going to want to make that 75/75/75

surely you can scrounge up the exalts to just buy res capping gear

[last raven]

i make mistake and use my ex on gambling lol

there is anyway to farm gear or ex ?

[craggy stone]

can anyone explain to me what increased elemental ailment threshold does as a quest reward from servi?

[scarlet tapir]

U can trade it or look at it in regret while it's in your stash

[dusky burrow]

regal orbs, chaos orbs, vaal orbs

armourer's scraps, blacksmith's whetstones

you can curr exch all that into exalts (if you have enough)

[wild depot]

how do I search for hexblast mod in prism of belief jewel?

[gilded minnow]

It ain’t much, but I beat act 2 colossus boss on HC.

[viral thorn]

my hooded guy isn’t showing up I did the quest to free him and I came back to town but it never gave me the option to witness the resurrection and now he just isn’t here

[gilded minnow]

First time HC player

[last raven]

how to increase the buy count on vendor shop? the one u gamble with gold

[kind dawn]

how do I know if im buns or not building my character right

[regal fjord]

are you killing more than dying?

[kind dawn]

yes but killing very slowly and if a group is big enough I do die

[regal fjord]

depends on where you're at sounds about normal.

[kind dawn]

Im on the cultist area in act 1

[craggy gyro]

I cleared ares trsitors passage but it says to search here

[regal fjord]

they made poe2 artificially harder. Your weapon matters way more in campaign than it use too

[steel relic]

Hello all!
If i were to set a meta gem on my secondary weapon set. Will it charge at all while using my primary set?

[kind dawn]

it's my first poe and first game like this

I thought I had a decent weapon is it worth looking for a better one? I got a rare from one of the vendors in act one and upgraded it to the yellow rank

[regal fjord]

if you want to make the game feel any sort of easy aim for 1k hp, with 30% all resistances. and a weapon with like 100+ damage

yes i understand it's absurd asking for that in act 1 but yes they made the game that hard

[kind dawn]

how do I increase hp all I know is it's tied to strength

[dusky burrow]

the campaign is not that hard

[regal fjord]

the campaign is that hard :/

[dusky burrow]

if you just pick up what drops, check vendors, use currencies you should have no issue

as an attack build your weapon is what all your damage depends on

yeah it's important

[humble karma]

gear with HP stat on it

[kind dawn]

is there any way outside of that or do I just have to get lucky

[molten bison]

Do people farm low level acts in certain areas for any reason or is it not worth?

[regal fjord]

how often should / would you replace your weapon in campaign tho. like if you bought one at 30 when would it need to be replaced

[regal fjord]

only if you can't survive

[humble karma]

gear, skill tree, there more look at the wiki 😄
but that are the 2 best options

[ocean sand]

Are these worth anything? New player here

[regal fjord]

gear with HP, passive skill nodes, or investing in +str

[kind dawn]

@regal fjord @humble karma ty

[trim turret]

It's a loot oriented game, should always be looking for something better.

[humble karma]

"lucky" hp is a high weight stat, chances are good u are going to get it
atm yeah crafting is a slot machine true lets just hope they add the rest fast 😄

[kind dawn]

my biggest problem is not knowing whats better I just know I wanna hit the 75% resistances somehow

[humble karma]

hp res

rest depends on what u play

[kind dawn]

Im playing sorceress rn

[chilly stump]

flicker strike still good in poe 2 everyone

[humble karma]

es or eva, armour sucks atm i think?

[kind dawn]

I think im mostly es so I have some forgiveness

[humble karma]

now how much u really nead on res in akts no idea lol
i am rolling in act 3 atm with -cold -light +70 fire haha

but minions so i am running just around

[regal fjord]

depends on hp ^

[humble karma]

500

[trim turret]

Equip stuff and see if your dps on your skill screen goes up or down. Get a feel for it.

[kind dawn]

where do you see that?

[regal fjord]

you'll start getting one hit near the end of a3 with negative cold :/

[humble karma]

well its not like i want fire to be 70 but thats what i got haha 😄

[scarlet tapir]

Anyone wanna help with a boss real quick act 3 😂

[kind dawn]

nvm II found it

[viral thorn]

my hooded guy isn’t showing up I did the quest to free him and I came back to town but it never gave me the option to witness the resurrection and now he just isn’t here

[regal fjord]

where

[kind dawn]

I just hit g on pc and it told me how my dps my spells do

[regal fjord]

[kind dawn]

[cunning tundra]

i was there, i forgot how to get there xd

[steel relic]

Hi all,
Is there a way to set a meta gem to charge on primary but use my secondary set? Or do i have to manually swap to activate it on preferred set

[coral flume]

Hi there I really am bamboozled currently for some reason my energy shield is stuck at 0 just randomly since that patch yesterday I’ve tried taking off my armor and looking over skills and nothing that would mess it up

Anyone know why?

[trim turret]

I don't think so.

[river grove]

CRYING

[trim turret]

You have no keystones on the passive tree?

[humble karma]

Eldritch Battery?
look in to the skill tree top right is a search option

[coral flume]

No I don’t have eldritch

That what everyone keeps saying

[humble karma]

no idea then, go die once 😄

[coral flume]

I did

Many times

[humble karma]

pm support

[coral flume]

I’m only lvl 53

[slate trail]

any tips on how to make the game run better on pc as it was working fine and now its not

[trim turret]

Be more helpful if we could see your gear, tree, and gems.

[trim turret]

Turn on the performance metrics and see what's getting hit.

[slate trail]

seems to bounce all over

[humble karma]

try to tag someone from gg? 😄
dont know if they are going to like that but whats else left

[slate trail]

from 120 to 90 and as low as 58

[crisp quarry]

Where do I gamble? What actually happens

[whole elm]

Anyone got the link for the Poe 2 trade discord

[trim turret]

Find the vendor, buy the general type of item you want, get something at random.

[kind dawn]

what orbs are the most important I dont wanna waste any

[crisp quarry]

Oh I thought there was another thing ty

And the currency market exchange?

[glass meadow]

when im searching the poe2 trade site how do i filter for a dex corruption

i have 2 other stats that i need and i am not having trouble getting listings for those but i feel like im doing somethging wrong looking for the dex affix

[glass meadow]

thanks ill try tht

[river grove]

viper is actually the most difficult boss in the game

ngm

im jus tbad

[radiant birch]

how does Culling Strike on the Witchhunter tree work. Is it with any Hit attack or do i need to use a specific skill?

[dusky burrow]

every hit

not just attacks

[radiant birch]

oh word. Maybe I just dont notice it working

ill test it

[primal bronze]

you cant respec the venom things can you?

[dusky burrow]

nope

locked in (for now)

[primal bronze]

okay

so if im CI

the chaos one is worthless no?

[rose wharf]

hey path sisters, what is causing this?

[crisp quarry]

Is there a dash ability I could use on a witch? Walking is kinda slow even with 20% movement speed boots

[primal bronze]

Possibly Blink

[crisp quarry]

Ohh ok! Why possibly?

[primal bronze]

oh idk, hedging my ignorance lol

[crisp quarry]

I'm level 31 and man my feet are tired

Lol fair enough ty

[dusky burrow]

gamblesprint

do you have those unique boots equipped?

[glacial palm]

Oh that is a cute unique 😅

[storm pagoda]

in pc how do i move item quickly to stash, in ps5 there is a button for it but i dont see it in pc

[glacial palm]

Default is ctrl+click

[storm pagoda]

thanks...also what is the reason behind stash tabs not being cross platform? If i remove everything from my premium stash tab will I be able to store things in it then?

[glacial palm]

That part I'm not sure about, didn't know they were not cross platform 🤔

Ah, quick google sounds like a company thing.

[glacial palm]

And if google is right, then no. Apparently stash tabs that you don't own on another platform will become "remove only" on that platform.

You should know if so, it will say "remove only" after the stash tab name. Once you remove everything from it, it will not be available anymore (and you can not put anything in it)

[dapper acorn]

yo is this 2 for 1, or 2 for whole stack?

[dusky burrow]

each

[dapper acorn]

my guide tells me to use these prisms, not sure if i should trade for it

[compact thorn]

just use currency exchange in game for that lol

[dapper acorn]

... time to google currency exchange poe2

[compact thorn]

alva

in your hideout

[glacial palm]

Shame the guide didn't include that lol

[dapper acorn]

alva is cruel right? im still act 2 normal

the guide says at level one all my skills should have 3 slots...

[inland sentinel]

Alva starts in act 3

You meet her in town

[dapper acorn]

k well i will ignore for now then

[oak imp]

what are some the the strongest leveling builds currently? for the campaign

[winter patio]

can you still use jewellers on corrupted gem?

[ornate plume]

Hi guys

Help me please kill boss mekul

[storm pagoda]

how do i level up fast past level 74... its all of a sudden too slow. running maps with waystone tier 6 and they are easy to do but no xp

[craggy gyro]

i create my character and select ssf mode wrongly. how can i switch it back to standard mode? i remember there is an option like that in poe 1, but i can find it in poe2

[ionic willow]

Do higher tier

[daring dragon]

Get higher tier waystones with bonus exp mod as well as tablets with bonus exp and stack those.

[ionic willow]

IIRC nope. Once corrupted you can’t alter it anymore

[daring dragon]

There is no such option yet

[craggy gyro]

yeah it seems so, guess i will just create another character then

[storm pagoda]

whats a tablet? haven’t seen anything like that yet

also the shrine concept in poe2 is hard. like i die in one shot trying to activate comet shrine so many times and waste waystones, but can clear mobs ez

[long tree]

are you wearing these boots?

[ionic willow]

A precursor tablet. You can insert it into the lost tower that you’ve completed to juice up your nodes

[storm pagoda]

ohh

i gotta find a way to get lots of high tier waystones i only have like couple t6s. if i merged all i might have one t8 i could try. i also only have like 4 atlas points atm

[ionic willow]

I feel your pain 🥺 died to a meteor yesterday out of nowhere

[ionic willow]

For atlas points focus on clearing the quests

[storm pagoda]

yeah they also need waystones, the balance between needing higher tier to get some significant xp bump vs doijg more lower tier to do quests for passive is a bit much. i might just try to. trade currencies for them now

[lyric grove]

Noob question, I have a rare bow that i want to get rid of should I sell, salvage or distachant it?

[jolly schooner]

could some1 help me beat Mektul, the forgemaster on chapter3?

[ionic willow]

that's true :< the pain of not having enough waystones

[ionic willow]

what's your ign? or check your dm, i have dm you! :D

[jolly schooner]

ty ty

[undone sable]

where's the second relic for the A2 shrine? I found it easy my first playthrough and nothing now.

i've cleared the whole zone and clicked on all the things

[daring dragon]

You want to do some of both eventually but early selling is more recommended. You can only salvage items with quality or sockets and such items should be salvaged.

[undone sable]

do you have enough regals that you feel comfortable? If not, disenchant for the shard. if so, if you can salvage it, do so. Otherwise, sell for gold.

[lyric grove]

Thank you guys!

[daring dragon]

Random drop from one of the upcoming areas

[undone sable]

its not in the same zone? damn indicator had me clearing the whole thing out

what a waste of time lol

[daring dragon]

Iirc no but look up the quest name on Google if you want to be sure, I remember seeing many lists that stated the exact areas when I did some research for another sidequest related question.

[undone sable]

i'll come back to it then. not a big deal

[amber crypt]

i heard the bog witch can be killed 2 times

for extra spirit

is this true?

[normal ibex]

maybe once in normal and once in cruel?

[amber crypt]

oh yeah maybe

do i have to finish act 3 for cruel?

[weary cloud]

ascencion 2 is just random drops is it

like the item

[indigo geyser]

I use this items, that help me use skill and items without the attribute requirments of int and dex, but I got a problem, I can't level up skill as I don't pass the requirment to learn it(but if I have skill I can use it), anyway I can fix this?

[scenic salmon]

melee skills maybe?

[indigo geyser]

Yes, I can't leveing it up by myself, needed someone to do it for me

But I can use it

[scenic salmon]

You can't level it? Uh there is an option to eliminate skill restrictions

Do you have that checked

[indigo geyser]

I have no ideas what this is, can you show me how to do it, please?

[scenic salmon]

It's somewhere in the options menu maybe in the gameplay tab with the filters?

[indigo geyser]

You are right, I found it, thank you

[scenic salmon]

Weird it doesn't detect it though
That's a bug if I seen one

[ionic willow]

Yes

It will tele you back to the beginning of act 1 but now in cruel mode

[scenic salmon]

Also if you are using monk abilities I would recommend you to get a second bell
You should be able to get it now

[wild depot]

how many passives can you get from quests? I have 20 rn

[formal shoal]

It's a bug

Same happens with the attribute passives

You can't equip items alone

[scenic salmon]

24!

[formal shoal]

But if you replace it - it works

[crude fjord]

im looking on maxroll (i hope thats a good place for builds) and im seeing a Tempest Flurry Mercenary build? Like wtf? Is this just a worse version of a tempest flurry monk?

[craggy gyro]

Im on cruel, and i just killed balbala in traitors passage. Its telling me to keep searching i didnt get anything for the quest

[topaz crypt]

Am I in the correct area for this quest?

[normal ibex]

selecting the node shows current quests in the area
https://i.imgur.com/oXpLYe6.png

[topaz crypt]

So that is the correct location perhaps? It doesn't mark the location.

[wild depot]

just made it to waystones and died and portals disappeared.

how do I travel to hideout(not sure if I have one) or back to after campaign place

[indigo geyser]

Now it engrave the new one, I don't know why it not replace the old one

[cosmic gale]

anyone know how ot invite firends to a party , if it says different league , my firend and i are differetne levels and we are in standard leagues

[daring dragon]

Inviting someone to your party is as easy as going to your friends list and pushing a button there. If the game says you are in different leagues that's probably the case and you can't play with each other.

Double check which leagues each of you has chosen and pay more attention when creating future characters.

[daring dragon]

Via any waypoint

The blue teleporters in every town and area

Also look here for future endgame questions #2┃after-acts-help

[cosmic gale]

ohh yaa 😦 he choosed solo standard by accident. but its okay they started off as level 1

[indigo geyser]

Sorry, can you explain more please?

[tough grove]

Should I corrupt my equiped bow via corruption altar?

[indigo geyser]

I close the restritions of gemcutting after that I can level up my gem once, now I try again, it not replace it but engrave a new one, I want to replace the old one

[indigo geyser]

Yes, it the same as vaal

[tough grove]

I see so there is no negatives?

[indigo geyser]

It free corrupt but I think the rate are the same

[tough grove]

Reduced my physical damage precentage from 87 down to 41

RIP

[scenic salmon]

You have to relog for each or change the options there and back for each?

Lol

[cunning tundra]

where should i go to do my 2nd ascendency

[daring dragon]

Never corrupt something you can't afford to lose. In your case it's annoying and will slow you down a bit but it was just a low lvl bow so don't worry.

[daring dragon]

Chaos trials generally

[tough grove]

Good to know that

[indigo geyser]

Maybe the first time I just misunderstood it, I thought I replace it but it not, it just make a new one

[tough grove]

Never knew how corruption workedd

[daring dragon]

But not necessarily

[chilly stump]

hi can i know which content should play in poe 2--> Breach, ritual, expedition or delirium ?

[lyric ember]

do expensive base items like sapphire ring/stellar amy/ heavy belt require certain item level to be valuable? or are they valuable in any state

[daring dragon]

All of them

[daring dragon]

It can matter yes

Higher lvls will generally fetch higher prices.

#2┃looking-for-group

[lyric ember]

please elaborate, im new to the POE franchise. what level should i shoot for, what level range should i just throw away

[chilly stump]

why bro, i think just focus one content to make more profit ?

[daring dragon]

It affects how high mods on the item can roll, you should shoot for the highest lvl possible.

[lyric ember]

so like item level 50 is worthless or i could potentially get an exalt for it?

[indigo geyser]

Yes, I misunderstood it that I replace the old one, but it just engrave the new one and I never check on it, still can't replace it with the option turn off

[daring dragon]

Well you never specified that you want to know the most efficient one. Generally it's breach but still you want to engage with all of them since they all reward something worthwhile.

There isn't one activity that's best no matter what in each and every scenario

[daring dragon]

I don't know the exact prices or breakpoints in terms of the items lvl. Just try to sell them and see if someone wants it.

[chilly stump]

oh got it

and i see too many player still playing breach content

[craggy gyro]

Hi guys, I'm new to poe2

How do cosmetic items work from the shop? Can they only be applied to one piece of equipment forever?

[meager galleon]

they are applied to a gear slot

and you can move them around between chars

[limpid panther]

Ok cool

[high epoch]

thankyou for helping me!

[vestal basin]

[limpid panther]

Spells are technically Skills, right? Im kinda confused with the support gems and their descriptions

[meager galleon]

skills is evertyhing except a basic attack

skills have multiple types

spells, attacks and so on

[fair stream]

What's the max tune slots for each gear is it 2 weapon and 4 armour? Like chest armour

Rune

[livid rune]

depends on pieces. Typical chests can get 2 "standard"

corrupted gear can get more for example

[meager galleon]

to continue, there are also some other types like spirit skills, which are auras (permanent buffs), minion skills and meta skills (stuff like cast on freeze)

the main difference between attacks and spells is that attacks use your weapons dmg as their base dmg, while spells have their base dmg build into the gem

[jolly schooner]

could someone help me kill the queen of filth on ch3?

[meager galleon]

you can try in #2┃looking-for-group

[limpid panther]

Are gear cosmetics only available through the shop? U can't get this stuff normally through gameplay?

[pure quarry]

spells = mage, skills = non mage
spells usually need cast speed while skills require attack speed

[meager galleon]

in poe1 there are challenges each league that reward cosmetics when you complete them, it will very likely be the case in poe2 on full release too

but as of now, no, no skins for just playing poe2 yet

[limpid panther]

Thx

[meager galleon]

thats not correct grace

spells are skills

in poe terminology

spell is a subset of skill

[pure quarry]

I can't tell a new player that and hope they understand lol

[meager galleon]

and mages arent prevented from using non spells, and non mages can use spells

[pure quarry]

[glad grove]

You definetly can.

Otherwise they will have a constant misconception.

[pure quarry]

fair

[meager galleon]

its one thing to explain stuff simply

its another giving wrong info

[steady stratus]

Guys I’m at act 2 cruel and I don’t know what how to do the quest “ascent to power” I have fully cleared the Traitor’s passage but there’s nothing there

[livid rune]

it's a bug

[glad grove]

It is currently a bug

[livid rune]

you can ignore

[steady stratus]

Ohhhhhh ok ok

[glad grove]

You shouldnt see the quest on the second go

[steady stratus]

Thanks

[pure quarry]

my bad, I dumbed it down too much and it came off wrong

[steady stratus]

Gotcha

[bleak igloo]

is there a decent witch fire/ignite build?

[junior merlin]

so if basic stats dont increase my damage (str, dex, int) are weapon stats the only real way to increase my damage?

(as a warrior)

[livid rune]

passive points can impact your damage too

and skills

[glad grove]

Thats the main source your damage scales off.

[junior merlin]

so leveling up, skill gems support gems and weapon damage

and im guessing armors / weapons that increase weapon skills?

[glad grove]

All your increases and multipliers are applied to your base damage, mostly coming from your weapon.

[livid rune]

Yes sorry, your weapon damage absolutely matters

[glad grove]

Some other gear pieces can also roll added damage like rings and gloves for example.

[junior merlin]

alright thanks

[cunning tundra]

help! I have uncut support gem lvl1 but cant find the fire infusion gem

[livid rune]

have you unchecked the box at the bottom that says "recommended gems"?

[glad grove]

You might need go untick a box in the bottom left of the uncut gem window.

[cunning tundra]

omg

thank u

[lone viper]

Is it better to sell or disenchant in ssf in the first 3 acts?

[meager galleon]

depends if you care more about transmuting/regaling your gear upgrades

or you wanna gamble for them with the vendor

[glad grove]

I would disenchant rares and sell magic items usually

[meager galleon]

but someone who plays ssf might have a more nuanced answer

[lone viper]

Okok y

[astral pilot]

really, dude? again?

you did NOTHING to save him from the exact same situation that happened in normal difficulty

[sleek fjord]

whats a ice move from skill gem thats better to use primary than freezing shards?

[flint wyvern]

can someone help me with queen of filth please

[daring dragon]

[ionic willow]

still need help?

[stable solstice]

Hiya totally new player here 😄 give me your best tips. Lvl 9 warrior, fighting with mace and shield. Playing on ps5.

[daring dragon]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

And two console specific tips. Holding the start button will bring up a second quick access menu. And check the settings for the option to increase menu navigation speed

[unkempt stirrup]

just finished the first trail of chaos, got some corrupted gear that is no use to me. Should I scape or disenchant or do something else with it

[astral pilot]

perhaps i should start looking for more +resistances now that im in cruel :S

[daring dragon]

If an item is corrupted does not affect if you should sell/salvage/disenchant.

Proceed with it like with any other item.

[unkempt stirrup]

thank you

[bleak igloo]

guys if i buy one of these 3 sockets gems, do i keep the sockets if i upgraded the gem level later on?

[brisk lantern]

Yes, but be careful with corrupted ones, you cannot add more sockets to them (can level up tho)

[bleak igloo]

the uncorrupted 3 sockets one worth 10 regal?

[brisk lantern]

No clue whatsoever

[bleak igloo]

these jeweler orbs are hard to come by

[brisk lantern]

You can buy them through Alva instantly

[bleak igloo]

oh which act?

[sleek fjord]

what armor/weapon makes it so u take dmg when u use a spell or something

[brisk lantern]

Oh right it might unlock later, maybe when you enter cruel the gambler vendors give access to the exchange?

[lyric ember]

bro the lag is insane, i cannot beat the damn trials of chaos because ill lag spike and die and have to restart somewhere in the ten challenges

what am i supposed to do

[pliant horizon]

any idea when the patch is dropping?

[steel relic]

Hi all, i cant seem to assign a weapon set point into a notable passive. is this on purpose or am i missing something?

[ebon hamlet]

Guys always invest on your flasks

Having instant recovery really helps

[naive isle]

Little doubt, i've been using Shockburst Rounds with the mercenary but it feels it does less damage than other skills, i've read everywhere it should do more (even in the skill says it does more damage, but i barely do anything), maybe i've been using it wrong, is there something that it should be use with, like a combo with other skill or status or something

[daring dragon]

This rly isn't the right channel to promote your content in

[daring dragon]

Are you making sure the enemy is shocked or electrocuted before using shockburst?

Read the skill again

[naive isle]

Aaaaaaaaah, no, no, i just was using it, didn't know they have to be shocked or anything hahaha, oks, i'll try it later then

Thanks 😄

I thought the pulse was just complementary not the main reason of the damage xD

[fresh mulch]

why can i salvage this item even if it doesnt have quality>?

[astral pilot]

maybe a dumb question but - as a new player, am i gonna be fine if i just dont loot white items until i have a better understanding of which ones are worth it (other than sockets/quality which i know to salvage)

[daring dragon]

Does it have sockets for runes?

[fresh mulch]

yea

[daring dragon]

That's why

[fresh mulch]

you can salvage those too?

i didnt knew

[daring dragon]

Yes

[fresh mulch]

does it say it somewhere?

[daring dragon]

Most likley

[astral pilot]

ok nice. theres so much stuff to learn (im fairly new to arpgs in general), so one thing less to worry about is always good 😆

[stark lynx]

If you've gone by some decent chunk of levels, starting to pick up white bases and throwing trans aug at them is good.

[vast nexus]

This also apply to minion dmg?

[stark lynx]

no

[naive isle]

All minion stuff is directly said

[vast nexus]

so if smth says increased dmg to enemies affected with an ailment it also doesn't add to minion dmg?

[naive isle]

i mean like "minions gains XXXXX" for example

minions acts like other character, not an extension of yours

[vast nexus]

alr ty

[weary cloud]

the last

map

of act 2

is such a bullshit map

tight spaces

100000000000 million enemies

[naive isle]

That's the best one (?) they can't scape XD

Is like a never ending conga of killing

[weary cloud]

who designed this shit

its fine

but there's a mob that can jump behind u

and then u're fking anally penetrated

[astral pilot]

hmm did i buy the wrong kind of leech? im mostly using flash grenade/explosive grenade

and i dont seem to get my mana back any faster

[naive isle]

I don't use flash so not sure with that one, but explosive does 80% of the damage as fire, so is just 20% physical, maybe that's why

[astral pilot]

could there be a different sort of mana leech meant with this?

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/grenade-mercenary-leveling-guide#gearing-header from this guide

i see theres physical damage and physical attack damage. couldnt find any physical damage leech rings on the market

[naive isle]

physical attack i believe (maybe i'm wrong) like close combat maybe

[plush mantle]

I see a bunch: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/dReog4ZUJ

[astral pilot]

thats physical attack damage, not physical damage 😛

idk for sure but i assume physical damage just cant roll on rings so ig thats not gonna be the affix the guide author meant

[plush mantle]

grenades ARE attacks 🙂 Flash grenade is pure physical so should be giving you ~6% of its damage back as mana. Explosive is 20% phys, so it gets less leech

[lofty pilot]

Do I only sacrifice 3 here? Or does giving more give more rewards?

[plush mantle]

but Ziggy also says in the guide that you won't see much benefit from leech until towards the end of the campaign

[astral pilot]

oh, mustve missed that

[plush mantle]

"up to 3"

[lofty pilot]

gotcha

[plush mantle]

it's in the Mana tab above the guidelines per item slot

[lofty pilot]

was tryna see if I can get more out of this xD

[warm saffron]

So where is the newest patch notes? 0.1.1 How are people reacting to it lmao

[astral pilot]

ahhh also specifically mentions flash grenade. i see i see

[naive isle]

There aren't, is just been a talk about it, the patch will be release during the week

[plush mantle]

don't have them yet. My guess is within the next 18 hours, but it could be another day

[naive isle]

I believe is going to be thursday/friday

[plush mantle]

the patch, yeah, but they made a comment about releasing the notes earlier

[warm saffron]

Ahhh yeah people are just kinda clickbaiting... It says patch notes but its the breakdown of the interview meh.

[naive isle]

Aaaaaah, didn't read that hahaha, oks

[green valve]

what is the purpose of weapons like crackling quarterstaff that gives only lightning damage and no physical when all quarterstaff skills convert physical to cold or lightning dmg?

Does that base lightning dmg of the crackling quarterstaff have some synergy with anything?

[plush mantle]

to circle back around: physical attacks are the only way to get mana leech right now, outside of the Mana Drain gem

[plush mantle]

it's mostly bait, but you can do a lightning focused build that doesn't use the elemental conversion in the skill gems to get better scaling with lightning damage mods on the weapon and passive tree. But it makes gearing harder, since %increased physical on weapons becomes completely useless

main problem is that there's not enough skills to go mono elemental anything, really, although lightning quarterstaff might be the most feasable option

[green valve]

I've been trying things that I don't see people using and somewhat trying the ''intended'' Invoker build with elemental invocation and spells with the extra spell dmg with melee weapon nodes

and it feels super bad

any idea how to scale the damage higher?

[polar karma]

could someone help with ac1 cruel geonor?

[daring dragon]

#2┃looking-for-group

[bleak igloo]

trade complete here? yet i cant pick it up

[vast nexus]

i'm guessing all classes are viable right? like there isn't any class rn that is considered weak

[plush mantle]

I'm not convinced that invoking spells while trying to keep melee damage up is the way to go, but I haven't looked into that particular monk build much

[plush mantle]

some will tell you mace warrior is bad, but that's not because of damage; it's stupid on bosses. Problem is the playstyle is clunky as hell and needs some tweaking

[naive isle]

sometimes it takes a little to let you pick it

[junior merlin]

why cant i use this? i have 30 spirit

[plush mantle]

right click the skill to turn it on 🙂

in the skill window

[daring dragon]

Did u put support gems into it?

[junior merlin]

its greyd out it wont let me

[junior merlin]

yes, does that matter?

[daring dragon]

Yes they increase the cost

[plush mantle]

might want to read those support gems

[junior merlin]

huh had no idea cheers

[spiral cairn]

can some help i have 5div and wanna upgrade weapon or belt need advice what should i buy new weapon or ingenuity 51%

[junior merlin]

why wouldnt it show the total cost under the main gem though?

[daring dragon]

No idea, ask the devs and also it's still early access. It does show the total cost in the skill assignment menu where you enable the aura tho

[junior merlin]

fair enough lol

[plush mantle]

in general, GGG makes the UI about 3 days before launching a league, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here (tooltips didn't work until hours before EA opened, supposedly)

[green valve]

so are the nodes that give spell dmg with melee weapons just bait on monk? Is it maybe for Daggers and Shadow class when it releases?

[junior merlin]

thats extremely brave of them lol

[plush mantle]

rumor has it that daggers are going to be more spell focused in PoE2

[normal ibex]

UI development is hated by gamedev artists and gamedev programmers, its almost always unnecessarily complicated even in ngame engines that are 'beginner friendly'

[chilly stratus]

How do you trade items between alts?

[plush mantle]

use your stash

[normal ibex]

stash chest

[junior merlin]

is there a way to zoom out more so i can see enemies that are attacking me off screen?

[plush mantle]

only if you want to play with your window resolution and have less of the game on screen 🙂

[junior merlin]

:/

[chilly stratus]

I Just defeated the hyena at the beginning of act 2 and zarka didnt appear do i need to go to the town?

[glad grove]

Jup

[chilly stratus]

Stash is interchangable for all standard league?

[normal ibex]

SSF, Standard and HC have their own stash chests

trading between leagues would bypass the point of having leagues at all

[narrow summit]

def need elemental dmg to attacks and crit on staff

[glad grove]

All of your characters in the same league have access to it.

[narrow summit]

u can pick one up with like ~13% crit and 100+ phys and elemental dmg for around 1 div

[stable solstice]

Anyone want to help me with lachlann?

got an orb of chance

I am tempted

...

does it sell for anything

[low oasis]

why cant i find unbound avatar on a spirit gem its not listed anywhere ?

[weary cloud]

hello sorry I ahve a question

I bought a premium stash

how do u see if a stash is premium

do u see if u just can make it public

[eager basin]

it's an ascendancy skill?

[low oasis]

lol no wonder thanks

[eager basin]

6ex last I checked

[glad grove]

You can rightclick it's name (numbers by default) to change its settings.

[eager basin]

I feel like they're green by default, and they have an actual rightclick menu

[weary cloud]

oh ok

cheers

got it

[glad grove]

Just rightclick your stashes to find out which one it is.

[junior merlin]

man having a boss that can hit you outside of your own melee range is tough

what am i supposed to do against rattlecage as a warrior? its not like he can kill me but having an arbitrary second healthbar that i cant heal stops me from doing what my entire build is built around

[brazen pewter]

game crash?

[craggy gyro]

Anyone have any fun loot filters to try or should I just go with Never's?

[weary cloud]

I need a new fkin bow

[civic jungle]

i have 0 spirit and cant figure out whats using it,

[leaden frost]

press g

[weak jasper]

I like fubs, but you can't go wrong with neversink

[leaden frost]

and see if u have an aura on or not

[civic jungle]

i unequipped every skill

still says i have 0 spirit

[leaden frost]

do you even have any spirits?

you start out with 0

[civic jungle]

says 0 out of 30\

[leaden frost]

hmmm

[civic jungle]

but in town when i hover over mana i have no spirit

[craggy gyro]

I need something to out shine flame wall lol I'll look at Fub's. Thanks.

[civic jungle]

how do i get my first spirit

maybe i missed something

[naive isle]

First spirit is with a boss in act 1

[weak jasper]

can always try some from here https://www.pathofexile.com/item-filter/ladder/follower/type/PoE2
that said, fubgun is very endgame

[leaden frost]

can you send a ss of your spirit bar

[civic jungle]

which boss?

oh

thanks

[naive isle]

The king in the mist i believe

[craggy gyro]

I have a few already set for next time I get online but wanted to see if there was any funny ones

[junior merlin]

is the answer to ascending as warrior to just respec to use a bow lol

[naive isle]

irc spirit is spent in minions, passives and passives gems, maybe is some of those, and you can get some with 3 bosses (you get 100 in total at the end of the campaign) and with equipment

[civic jungle]

im tryna get herald of ice

just started the campaigne

just killed the executioner

[naive isle]

then you maybe have kill the king in the mist already

[glad grove]

Are you using any support gems that cost spirit?

[civic jungle]

no

ill try and do that

[glad grove]

A screenshot of your mana/spirit globe and your gem tab will help us in identifying your problem.

[civic jungle]

is that the ritual boss?

[naive isle]

yep

[civic jungle]

i get it now

it killed me

ill try it again lol

[fair stream]

When you upgrade gems can you go from lvl 1gem to lvl 16?

If you have the gem, yes of course

With the right requirements obviously

[glad grove]

Yeah

Oh sweet somebody gifted me lol 29 lvl 18gems lol

As in a carry

[daring dragon]

Read it pls

[upbeat radish]

ah okay so it's as writen thx

[fair stream]

Chaoo

[upbeat radish]

so should I farm the baraya in act 2 for the third ascendancy?

or just wait till it drop naturally as I progress?

[daring dragon]

This might clear things up for you

[upbeat radish]

ah... okok thx

[violet belfry]

are walking goliaths just walking bugs

twice in a row a walking goliath essence rare didnt give anything

[ancient walrus]

I'm playing an ice sorceress and saw this ring for sale. Where it says "cold damage to attacks" does that mean the basic skill my staff gives, all my abilities, or does this only apply to melee?

[distant briar]

the block chance on the sheild is pssive? or u should use the skilll

[violet belfry]

while holding alt u can hover over words with striped lines

there u can find more info, but to answer the question, when it says attacks it means abilities that use your weapon, spells are not attacks

[ancient walrus]

tyvm

If your Act1 I can help if not then GLHF xD

[ancient walrus]

does crit hit chance stat off items work for spells?

[scenic salmon]

#2┃looking-for-group

[scenic salmon]

Yesnt
If it says "hit crit chance and spell crit chance" it'll work
But "crit chance for attacks" doesn't do anything

[ancient walrus]

it says "increased critical hit chance"

does that mean it'll work for sorceress?

[scenic salmon]

Sure! You can look in the tooltip too after clicking the node

[ancient walrus]

sweet tysm for help, also what do u mean by that last part?

what's a node?

[junior merlin]

yeah i cant kill the boss with 50+ hits before he hits me 5 times and destroys my honor

i guess i have to just out level it lol

[scenic salmon]

Oh! I thought you were looking at your passive tree so after locking the passive you'll notice the change

[fair stream]

Just slap him bro

John Cena his ass

[junior merlin]

believe it or not but i did infact try that

[ancient walrus]

all good lol, just wanted more info before i splurged all my gold on this yellow tier ring that was in renleys store

[fair stream]

Wait did I just speak to you in game before? Fighting a boss with 90% fire Res?

[junior merlin]

no i dont think i really talked in global

[fair stream]

Nah DMS

But alright mb

[junior merlin]

no i have not dmd anyone from this server

[ancient walrus]

I've found that bosses i get hard stuck on dont have a resistance to a random lvl 80 willing to help in global chat

[fair stream]

Ah okay your name looks like this dude I was speaking too in game lol

[junior merlin]

i mean i guess but doesnt that mean the boss is very poorly balanced if you are required to bring someone else to do it for you lol

maybe im stubborn but i kinda wanna just clear it on my own

[ancient walrus]

the last boss in act 1 made me so angry lol, i didnt mind any of his abilities or even the fog it was just those damn wolves that come out in the fog

i gave in and asked for help after 2hours

[fair stream]

For the life of me I couldn't kill the first boss in Act solo tbh... My monk just got one hit ahha, so I just got my brother to join we both got slap around tbh

[ancient walrus]

YUP i hate that boss

[junior merlin]

if there wasnt the silly honor mechanic id be fine because i wanted to build full tank and now the game laughs in my face for picking tank lol

[normal ibex]

bosses vary on difficulty depending on character builds, you need very specific resistances for different bosses as well as different damages and attack patterns

[fair stream]

I like the bosses though, they aren't easy

[ancient walrus]

yeah some just have 1 goofy mechanic

that drive u mad

[junior merlin]

the difference in the amount of effort that i required to clear it on my witch is insane as well i just ran away and my minions killed it

[fair stream]

Yeah I was just fuck it face tanking him/IT rbh

[ancient walrus]

90% of the time its when they summon minions multiple times that gets me

[junior merlin]

then thats just poorly meshed mechanics, if one class is favored over others why even bother picking those classes?

[fair stream]

Yeppp as a monk without a wave clear skill yet it's not easy haha

But now I'm Gucci

[ancient walrus]

from what i've heard, everything is favored over warrior

[junior merlin]

its starting to feel like it lol

[ancient walrus]

my friend told me even the og warrior 1 tricks dropped that class

[fair stream]

They even said it in the live stream lol

[normal ibex]

i agree, there should only be one class, and make the game boring but easy 😛

[junior merlin]

playing ranged vs playing melee is like a different game

[junior merlin]

strange i dont remember saying that but if you want to make up arguments to get upset at feel free i guess

[normal ibex]

you appear to want perfectly balanced classes, its the same picture .meme

[fair stream]

Best thing about POE2 VS POE1 is that it's not easy..

Like it's simple but not easy

[normal ibex]

i'm guessing that there is some gear issue at play here, and possibly missing some mechanics for a particular boss

[junior merlin]

you seem to believe that balance should make the game easier i disagree it should make the game more even for each class, no one is asking for perfect balance here just similar amounts of effort to get similar results

[normal ibex]

i know i missed a whole bunch of mechanics on a couple of bosses so far, i expect this to continue

[junior merlin]

thats a possibility which is why i have opted to leave the first ascendancy trial until after act 2 lol

[astral pilot]

getting ghosted by sellers makes me wish this game had an auction house

[daring dragon]

If you are contacting many people for a specific item and none of them answer its often a sign that you are trying to buy an item that's underpriced.

Just because item X is listed for price Y doesn't necessarily means that's it actual worth.

[low oasis]

Under what ascendancy tree is Avatar of the wild so i can find Unbound Avatar i cant find it anywhere

[dark agate]

aha! happend to me today

[low oasis]

thanks, damn guide should have just said and I shall rage

lmao

thanks

can someone explain what critical hits ignore non negative monster elemental resistance's like hows it work

i know it should be self explanatory

[shut abyss]

if crit monster has no resistances

but if monster resistance really bad(negative) it doesn't ignore that

[low oasis]

monster resistance really bad

does that mean if its high resistance

[shut abyss]

no

you can make it go below zero

which is bad, for the monster

[versed terrace]

can someone help me I'm stuck in the ACT2...

with this item here

I'm out of the map
I don't know what to do

[low oasis]

alright thanks mop, im told this ascendancy is super important not sure why

[shut abyss]

go somewhere else and come teleport back while holding ctrl to make a new instance and hope it loads properly

[versed terrace]

Ohhh thanks

[low oasis]

blow the horn at the end of the ship

on the caravan

go to the tip of the ship at the front

[shut abyss]

it means if you build crit you can ignore resistance penetration nodes that you usually need

[versed terrace]

Ahhh

[low oasis]

its super vague ayunaki

[shut abyss]

i thought the problem was caravan was missing? 😄

[low oasis]

i was running all over the fking place looking where to blow the damn horn

[shut abyss]

same

[versed terrace]

I try everywhere I don't find it LOL

[low oasis]

should i get Unbound Avatar or Sunder first , any monks have thoughts or advice ?

[versed terrace]

Hoo

I see it my bad

[shut abyss]

they say unbound avatar is good damage, i just don't personally like it because i forget to use it

[versed terrace]

Ohhh this is soooo coool !

[low oasis]

the guide says sunder first

but avatar is a skill im totally missing i cant use it until i unlock that ascendancy

and im trying to solo my ascendancies without help

[shut abyss]

i'd say sunder when you got around 50% crit

[gentle kettle]

Can someone help me making a good monk build? I'm in act 3 and I do no damage and die in like 2 hits

[low oasis]

yeah im close to 50

god who knows when im going to get another 2 ascend points

[shut abyss]

shouldn't matter that much tbh, sunder is always on

[low oasis]

oh well sunder it is, untamed to the side for a bit

unbound i mean

where does it show my crit chance total

i see armor evasion resistances

[shut abyss]

on your skill

the little arrow next to dps number

[low oasis]

ok thanks

[shut abyss]

whats the real number? 😛

[low oasis]

yeah i dont see anything crit related

[lament stone]

are you using the support gem that disables crits?

[low oasis]

no

[daring dragon]

Or the passive tree node that does so

[low oasis]

im looking for that screen

i have my skills and the dps number

[lament stone]

click the arrow

[low oasis]

looking for it lol

i hover over tempest fury

[shut abyss]

ofc might be different for ps

[daring dragon]

It is

[low oasis]

yeah im console until my 5090 sys arrives

[daring dragon]

Just need to click the skill and open advanced info menu

[low oasis]

yeah im looking for an advanced button

console clunky asf

[daring dragon]

Not rly

[low oasis]

im going through stick clicks

[daring dragon]

You click the skill gem, then there is a pop up menu, and one of the buttons literally says something like advanced infos

[lament stone]

you just select the skill then select advanced info on controller

[low oasis]

omg there it is

hly fuk

thanks guys

thats the juicy info

[shut abyss]

so whats the real number?

[low oasis]

yeah so at least on tempest flurry first strike it shows a pretty low 25 percent but im not sure if that changes whe im clicking the charged button buff

[wet oyster]

guys how much is pillar of the caged god worth? they go on trade for 1ex and im being spammed even if i put it for 3...

[low oasis]

everything melts so far

[shut abyss]

it doesn't

[low oasis]

hmm

[daring dragon]

Then increase its price further also look here #price-check📉

[low oasis]

i guess the fast roa helps then

im going into crit albiet early doesnt seem bad

[lament stone]

crit is a pretty huge investment, if you have 5% base crit chance youd need 2000% increased crit chance to have 100% chance to crit

[shut abyss]

you're probly just hitting hard enough without the crit

[low oasis]

well im early into cruel and dropping everything the game throws at me in a few secs so

yeah

i really jack my elemental damage not so much phys

i have such a low level weapon but the affixes are all better than the higher level weaps even with them having so much more phys

[shut abyss]

if you're in the campaign a good weapon usually carries you

[lament stone]

phys is normally better

[low oasis]

yeah i havent started end game im in cruel

well tempest flurry dps plummets

when you stack phys

[lament stone]

since attack skills normally convert most of your phys damage into whatever damage they do

[fair stream]

Is there a program to check prices but you don't need to use a keybkinds to check it?

[low oasis]

hmm

im a noob so doing alot of things wrong but i threw on 2 lightning runes to get that xtra 93

[shut abyss]

well if you do 100 physical damage and 100 fire damage and tempest flurry converts 60%
you'll do 60 lightning 40 physical 100 fire

[low oasis]

yeah my tempest flurry drops from 3110 to like hold on ill

[lament stone]

thats probably because the staff overall is worse

[azure lava]

Yeah, a web browser to access Pathofexile.com/trade2

[lament stone]

maybe lower attack speed/crit chance or whatever

[low oasis]

when i it drops to 2400 when i equip the phys staff

which is higher level and much more phys

[lament stone]

the level doesnt really matter

[low oasis]

ok

yeah i need to stop looking at item level lol

[fair stream]

... Like a overlay that is always open not me clicking on each item lol, with the crashes and stuff that's happening just makes it worse tbh

[lament stone]

you just keep looking out for upgrades

[humble karma]

isnt convert taking phys down?
and if it says deals xx% of phys then u dont lose anything, but on convert u do lose phys dmg
if i remember right

[low oasis]

everyone was raging on elon for that 62 staff

[pastel talon]

Imagine buying 5090 to play PoE 2

[low oasis]

i have money to burn with 0 commitments may as well

and i play mmos and lots of steam stuff

[lament stone]

you dont lose any damage by converting damage

[humble karma]

i remember, my phys stat going down in poe1 xD

[fair stream]

What is the most important Stat for a monk player? On weapons? Would it be physical conversion to lighting?

[pastel talon]

Must be rich asf, I get you. Enjoy

[azure lava]

I don't know of any price checker that works on every item you mouse over, and I doubt anyone will ever make such a thing

[lament stone]

how did you manage that? in poe1 its super easy to gain damage by converting it

[low oasis]

yeah i mean the 5090 is really hyped but compared to the 4090 really not worth it

and nvidia is jerking people

[humble karma]

well like i did say when i use convert then the phys stat goes down by the % named and if its deals x% of phys as bla bla then the stat doesnt move dont know i mean thats how i remember it but i can login and try again kinda sure its like that 😄

[humble karma]

5090 isnt worth it, for gaming...

not even 4090

[dark agate]

how did i get a greater essence of electricity before getting to cruel?

[azure lava]

Yeah, you lose total phys damage, but not total damage

[pastel talon]

Games arent optimized. So 4090/4070/5070 dont matter, unless you are into VFX/3D/Animation/Video Production

[lament stone]

oh i see, well youre converting damage, converted damage no longer deals damage of the type it was converted from

[low oasis]

i just want to throw in a vid card to not bother with ugprading for a long time i guess i could do that with a lower end card

[lament stone]

so if you do 1000 phys damage and convert 100% of it to cold, you now deal 0 phys damage and 1000 cold damage

[humble karma]

i know thats what i am saying cause of that...

ah nvm i should learn to read

lol

dude did even write 40 phys

[azure lava]

The staff's ilvl was not 62. That was the required level. Ilvl matters way more than required level for most things

[lament stone]

youre not losing any damage

[north thistle]

Can someone help im currently stuck in the Cemetary and can't access the hunting grounds again

[lament stone]

damage conversion is 1:1

[fair stream]

Yeah true be nice though, for mass listing of items

[lament stone]

you convert damage to a new type because it might be easier to scale a different damage type on your build

[normal ibex]

use the waypoint

[azure lava]

It would spam the trade site too hard and would likely get shut down by GGG

[humble karma]

u lose the % of phys doesnt matter i didnt read properly i though they did write the same amount in phys again but its fine my fault lol

[pastel talon]

For context, I am still rocking my 2060

[lament stone]

not in poe1

[north thistle]

Im gonna be so dumb when I ask this I am sorry, how do I do that lol

Im extremly new

[lament stone]

anyway the reason you use phys damage weapons is because phys damage is the highest base damage you can get on weapons

because of quality and runes

[azure lava]

Go to any waypoint and click it

[humble karma]

same thing with a 5080 u will not have to upgrade that the next 6 years and u will want to upgrade probably that 5090 in the same timeframe, cause of stupid AI and where the graphics tech is going

[low oasis]

yeah i mean my chasis is too smal so my 3060 is overheating too much i dont have much time to be messing with opening that card and heat dispenser

[fair stream]

That is true, having a cool down on trading would be nice also. Maybe not for POE2 cause most people don't even know where to trade tbh..

[north thistle]

Thank you I was trying to use the map the whole time

[daring dragon]

Waypoints are the blue teleporters

[low oasis]

thats scery thought

[north thistle]

Thanks guys

[humble karma]

well look at the 40 series they will be useless, in a year or so cause of vram
some nvidia cards are even now useless cause of it lol

[fair stream]

My 1070 is going STRONG

[lament stone]

yea im still doing fine on 1070 too

[fair stream]

Just want to change my montior to 2k 240hz instead of my 1080p 240hz

[pastel talon]

I am planning to upgrade from 2060 to 5070

Worth the update imo

[normal ibex]

i might buy a 2nd user 4060 when all the rich AI bros buy the 5000 series 😛

[onyx dock]

how much would this be worth?

[lament stone]

however much gold it sells to an npc for

[onyx dock]

i mean for trade

[lament stone]

no ones buying that on trade

[onyx dock]

i listed it for automtically 1 exalted and got a request

thats why i wondered

[foggy birch]

thats cap

[onyx dock]

huh

[lilac edge]

What is the ideal casting speed for a hexblast build? I'm at 83%, should I keep increasing it or should I invest in another bonus?

[foggy birch]

he must have to missclick it

[lament stone]

you can get way better items than that for 1ex

[eager basin]

for lv11?

[normal ibex]

just sell it, dont try to milk more

[lament stone]

why do you need to buy an item for a level 11 character?

[eager basin]

what kind of question is that lol

clearly some people do and someone wanted to buy that one for 1ex

[fair stream]

when they fix the loading crashes i will agree with you haha, i have to disable twop cores to even load the damn game xD

[fair stream]

somebody bought my iron rune for that much also im only lvlv 16 lol

[lament stone]

imo if you feel the need to buy items in act 1 you might have bigger problems with your build

especially considering if youre able to buy items you already have at least 1 level 25+ character so should already have some access to useful gear or items from that character

[eager basin]

your opinion sucks, honestly, and what does your opinion of these people have to do with the fact they exist and that it's possible to sell cheap low level items to them?

[onyx dock]

I got several trading requests for a item i looted in the act 2 trial lol

[lusty ice]

I really need more spirit where can I get easy spirit

[rich plover]

Hi, sorry I didn't know which channel to ask this in since I didn't see one pertaining to website help.

I'm having trouble using the trade website. Specifically I can't seem to properly link my website account to the steam account that I'm playing with. I previously had a standalone account with PoE1 but I'm playing PoE2 through steam. The website seems unable to recognize the newly linked steam account and consistently says that I'm not online in-game when trying to use the website messaging feature. Does anyone have experience with this issue?

[glacial palm]

Sorry, not heard about that sort of issue myself. Your best bet is to reach out via the Technical Support forum: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-forum/support

[trim turret]

100 from the campaign and more on gear.

[daring dirge]

that is weird when i tried to link it, it combined my old POE1 with my POE2 / steam account, it did create an extra drop down for profile though
to be more specific i had an old POE1 account with steam and created a new one on the POE website and linked the new account to my old steam on

[narrow frigate]

how long is it supposed to take for builds to get significantly stronger? I'm able to fight all enemies and bosses in act 1 with relative ease but i can feel the damage starting to kinda fall off and im not high enough level to get new skills

[undone kernel]

Most builds start to ramp up after trials of zekahma wich is later in act 2

The acendancy really helps

Make sure ur fallowing a good build guide if ur new

[narrow frigate]

i've been trying to follow guides but they're confusing tf out of me if im being honest, ive been kinda winging it for the most part so far since the only skills and supports i can get are the first availible tier and the skill tree is descently straight forward

[trim turret]

I mean you should also always be looking for better weapons and gear, upgrading your gems, etc.

[narrow frigate]

I'd do a ranger playthrough but the early game is brutal with how slow it is to unlock the "good" skills so i'm sticking with monk until i get farther in and have the option to buy some better starter gear for another class (i plan on trying to "beat" the game with the monk first though)

[undone kernel]

True u just kinda have to get them as you get farther it does take a while to start getting higher level gems

[craggy gyro]

Can anyone help me with the quest: Ancient Vow

[narrow frigate]

i havent used traders to buy anything so all of my gear is stuff ive been getting from drops, no clue how to upgrade gems besides using the uncut stones and whatnot

[undone kernel]

Mink is the most op class right now so not a bad choice

[narrow frigate]

its really fun so far

[undone kernel]

Once you beet the story you can grind some currency and have a way better start on another character

[trim turret]

I mean that's pretty much it. Upgrade gem level when you can, look at drops, disenchant or salvage gear you won't use, check the NPC vendors for decent blues or even whites and throw some crafting currency at them, maybe get lucky.

[narrow frigate]

ive been playing for 6 hours and im still on act 1

[trim turret]

Use runes. And sometime this week runes will become swappable.

[narrow frigate]

having no slots in the gear is throwing me off so far, but im slowly getting the hang of it

[zealous onyx]

in act 3 cruel with a SSF infernalist witch running chaos spells primarily and demon form/bonestorm spam for bosses. is there a more efficient method i should be going about things for infernalist with this build? mob clear feels decent but the upkeep for demon form just has me racing against my potion stock for bosses, and my dmg doesnt seem that crazy for how much my life and mana drain by the sec

[undone kernel]

I’d definitely check the traders every few levels they can have some good upgrades

[trim turret]

I salvage everything with sockets so I can add them when I need to.

[undone kernel]

Also be a goood ide to lookup a YouTube guide for good gear for monks so you have an idea what to grab

The game is pretty complicated
But once you understand a little more it gets fun

[narrow frigate]

I’ve just been selling all the blue and whites and keeping the gold stuff

No incredible stats so far but the gear that’s objectively better than what I have on instantly replaces it

[low oasis]

whats max level will i make it ?

[undone kernel]

Some gold is good but some is trash for trash gold instead of selling it disenchant it at the shop for regal frags you’ll need regal orbs later for crafting

[undone kernel]

Current max level is 100

But the xp ramps up pretty hard so

[tired prairie]

i started a new character can anyone push me through the story

[low oasis]

are slotted white items valuable

[undone kernel]

Nah

[low oasis]

jesus why play , just take your time bro

[narrow frigate]

Ok this is something I wish I knew sooner I haven’t disenchanted anything I’m just selling it all because I thought I’d need the gold

I’m really ashamed of myself rn

[undone kernel]

Same here I didn’t learn that till last week and I was at the end of the story so I was sad

[undone kernel]

Sell all blues keep good golds disenchant trash golds

[humble karma]

do they plan on nerfing the campaign?
it takes to much time for real now lol

[undone kernel]

I think they actually wanna add to it

[narrow frigate]

The only golds I’ve got left are the ones on me

[undone kernel]

Hopefully if they do they’ll tak away mandatory cruel mode

[humble karma]

yeah adding isnt a problem but spending 60 hours in it is

[surreal garden]

does anyone know how much spirit do the purity of x auras cost on sceptres? or are they free? i cant find any info online

[undone kernel]

Keep any ur using or that have good stats

[narrow frigate]

I don’t wanna horde items in my stash because I did that in poe1 and it’s a horrible mess

[low oasis]

im still enjoying cruel but am petrified scared im going to hate maps and stop playing

[undone kernel]

True there’s probably a YouTube guide on what’s good to keep and not

[undone kernel]

Maps look fun

[low oasis]

I dont know dood, i hate to bring up diablo but everytime i hit end game i wind up just leaving

[narrow frigate]

The only gold gear I’ve got on so far is the helmet and body piece and both give me a bit of extra health

My weapon gives me electric damage and I got a run that increased it or something like that

[humble karma]

cause its a league based system, i dont really wanna spend more then 10-20hours in the campaign even that i see as a waste of my time lol
did in settlers 1,2k hours in 4 months, lvld only 2 chars and equipped them fully, if campaign wouldnt be such a pain i for sure would have done more then 2

[normal ibex]

this is why leagues/seasons are a good option for these games, its almost impossible to make endgame repatition fun for a huge playerbase

[low oasis]

I love arpgs levelling and the whole skills thing

[normal ibex]

as for nerfing the campaign, doesnt matter what the game is, usually campaign is a couple of days work after the first character

[undone kernel]

It’s actually interesting the maps are more for farming so you can make a good build to kill pinnacle bosses wich are supposed to be unique

[low oasis]

Lachlann the Lost is my favorite character in POE 2, hes a riot

[low oasis]

well from that campfire they are going to make pinnacles harder i think

[undone kernel]

Yah the lore is definitely interesting

[undone kernel]

That’s kinda fun tbh

[fierce panther]

what does quality do for spellcaster wands?

[undone kernel]

If you like hard

[normal ibex]

one look at league and season numbers proves that more people are interested in the game over the endgame

[weary cloud]

HOW DID

THEY NOT FIX

THIS LOOT SHIT
