[sour pebble]

level 81?

1400 mana?

[craggy gyro]

yh

[sour pebble]

if so, way too little mana

your mana regen is 4% of your max mana by default

[lament stone]

1400 mana is pretty low for archmage

[neat wing]

Does anyone use a second weapon class for monk or is that not even needed? Just curious

[sour pebble]

you need more max mana to overcome the mana costs coming from gem levels

[craggy gyro]

should we go to build help?

[sullen thunder]

I'm level 36 playing spark sorc, I feel like my damage is good, but I'm literally a glass cannon. I have NO survivability, and I can't seem to get any decent armor drops. Any tips or ideas on how to resolve the survivability issue?

[trim turret]

Depends on your build. I use two weapons for mercenary but that doesn't mean I needed to.

[sour pebble]

just follow ben's guide: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/sparkmage-ben

[trim turret]

Are you prioritizing life and resists on your armor?

[craggy gyro]

I don't want to play mom

I refuse

[sour pebble]

uhhh

[sullen thunder]

I'm not prioritizing anything, I'm just using the best things I have. I'm barely getting any drops that are even remotely worth using

[craggy gyro]

I'd rather never reach endgame

[sour pebble]

well gl to you

w/e

[trim turret]

But how are you gauging whats best?

[craggy gyro]

ty

[sullen thunder]

Well, I'm just using the best rare gear I can find. The yellow tier, I think it's called rare

[humble karma]

i have no idea where i have to go 😄

[sullen thunder]

I barely get any yellow drops, so when I do, I use them

[restive fossil]

no its on the gem for infernalist summon hound

[trim turret]

Them being rare doesn't automatically mean they're good. You want to actually read mods and see if it's what you need.

[lament stone]

it just works well as a defence if youre already scaling mana with archmage

[trim turret]

A blue item with two good mods is better than a rare with six bad ones.

[lament stone]

im assuming youre using archmage because spark is pretty shit without it, youd do better with a different spell if you didnt want to use archmage

[sullen thunder]

I guess I just feel like more perks are better, but the second thing you said makes sense

[trim turret]

Yeah still only applies to the hound.

[trim turret]

They can roll the same mods as blue items. Just less of them. Life and resists, top priority.

Like what are your resists right now?

[slow copper]

what is this buff?

[sullen thunder]

For example, this is my chest

[restive fossil]

thanks

[trim turret]

Arcane surge maybe?

[lament stone]

arcane surge

[lament stone]

low life, only 1 resist

[trim turret]

Has life and resist at least. If you see a blue one with more life and total resists, I'd still equip that.

[slow copper]

archmage should be there if I have it active? idk if it's turned on or not.

[sullen thunder]

Hopefully that tells you what you're looking for

[sour pebble]

that's not too bad for level 36

[trim turret]

It will have a swirl on it and be reserving spirit above your mana if it's on.

[trim turret]

You're in the positive at least.

[slow copper]

it appear like this

[sour pebble]

@sullen thunder

[trim turret]

Then it should be on.

[sour pebble]

if your damage is good and you want to die less, then these gloves are great and cheap

[slow copper]

but my spirit is always 100 idk

[sour pebble]

kitoko are way better than those and you can use them forever

[trim turret]

I dunno.

[sour pebble]

just stuns everything around you constnatly its actually OP

[lament stone]

does that have anything to do with their question? or are you just here to tell everyone to trade for stuff

[sour pebble]

they said their dmg is good but they are dying a lot

[sullen thunder]

I felt like that was good info

[trim turret]

You don't have any other spirit skills or support gems on archmage?

[sour pebble]

kitoko is good if ur damage is high and you're dying a lot

[trim turret]

The attack mods don't apply to spark.

[slow copper]

nope

[sullen thunder]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Omg well then yeah, these are useless

[lament stone]

spark is a spell not an attack

[sullen thunder]

Yeah, that makes sense, I never thought of it like that

[trim turret]

Attacks and spells are the two main types of skills.

[sullen thunder]

Do you have a pair of these? Also, I have 0 clue about trading and prices, so I wouldn't even know how to get started to get them

[sour pebble]

yes i'm using these on my 95 sorc in ssf

the increase in survivability when i equipped them enormous

[sullen thunder]

You're using those gloves on your 95 sorc???

[sour pebble]

yes they're very strong defensively

[sullen thunder]

What the fuck, so level of your items isn't really that important

[sour pebble]

only if you're a billionaire does required level matter

[trim turret]

Not on uniques.

[sullen thunder]

I guess let me go see if I have an exalted orb

[trim turret]

On other items, item level determines what can roll on them, doesn't mean they won't still roll shitty.

[sullen thunder]

I have exactly one lol

[sour pebble]

pretty much everything i hit gets stunned instantly in maps lol

[sullen thunder]

Damn, look at your resistances!

[zinc inlet]

When is it worth starting to buy gear for my monk? im newer and not rich. Anyone got a ruff level i should start investing in gear?

[sour pebble]

spend 1 exalted orb on a quarterstaff upgrade when your damage feels lacking

[zinc inlet]

just damage for now then?

[sour pebble]

yeah how strong you feel as monk will depend almost entirely on how good your quarterstaff is

especially if you're ice strike since higher dmg = faster and higher freeze uptime

[zinc inlet]

alrighty thanks, ill probobly be back later :3

[slow copper]

I have spark lvl15.

Offhand has a scepter with sigil of power and +3 lightning levels.

main has a wand with +4 levels.

my spark appears lvl18 why?

[sour pebble]

you dont benefit from stats on the inactive weapon set

[shut pelican]

Hey dudes, I cannot whatsoever enter trial of sek.

I hold X on waypoint, entrance to town, and even ported on someone else map, left their party and attempted to interface with the podium.

Nothing happens. I am not sure why.

[slow copper]

active is +4

[sour pebble]

then you probably have the sigil of power staff active?

u sure you have the wand active?

[shut pelican]

I have no idea what those things are

I am playing monk

[lament stone]

+4 to what skills?

[slow copper]

sorry its in spanish

[shut pelican]

Ohh yall are talking to the other guy

[lament stone]

oh its in weapon swap

[scarlet tapir]

Someone beat doryani for me 😂

[lament stone]

#2┃looking-for-group

[sour pebble]

can u hover spark plz?

[slow copper]

it says +3 to lightning spells, wand has +4 to lightning spells too

[lament stone]

you dont get the stats from weapons that are in the weapon set youre not using

[sour pebble]

to show it is 15 + 4

nah i was mistaken

[slow copper]

but i'm using wand which is +4

[sour pebble]

yo wtf...

alright good question, let's think...

[lament stone]

do you have your spark set to use a specific weapon set?

[chrome mica]

Dunno bout this, if you have someone to join off of tho, you could do the trials with them maybe?

[slow copper]

wow I just saw i was using that shitty scepter, now dps is 10k instead of 2k

but still lvl 18 lol

[sour pebble]

it's got to be a UI bug right

[slow copper]

if i take it off it's lvl 15 again

it's like it's not working the +4 lvl

[lament stone]

.

you can bind skills to use specific weapon sets

[slow copper]

it show both but i disabled second set

[sour pebble]

im testing that guess atm calulrme and it doesn't reproduce the issue

is there a source of -1 level of lightning gems in the game maybe lol

[shut pelican]

Yeah but that’s doing the-too-most for someone I should be able to do on my own.

Do you know how I can reach out to someone to talk about this?

[lament stone]

unequip the wand and requip it

[sour pebble]

what level is your spark if you switch to the staff

is it 17?

[slow copper]

already did it

wtffff

you are gonna be so mad check this out

it is taking the ability from the offset

[sour pebble]

bro wtf

[slow copper]

i take it back and goes to 15

[sour pebble]

have you tried relogging yet?

[slow copper]

will try

[sour pebble]

feels like a UI display bug

[plush mantle]

wonder if it's not updating when you change weapon set with the window open

[sour pebble]

i tested that as well and it does update

[plush mantle]

on controller?

[sour pebble]

i have a character with a very similar setup as this so i can test this

[slow copper]

hahahahaha this is crazy

[plush mantle]

it's a different UI

[sour pebble]

well i'm on PC so maybe it's a console UI bug, good point...

[slow copper]

now its 1

21

[sour pebble]

wtf

does ur focus have +2?

[slow copper]

yes

[sour pebble]

oh so it should be 21

[slow copper]

i dont know what i did

[sour pebble]

so it's correct now

[slow copper]

but moved from 18 (+3) to correct now

2k to 12k

right thanks guys i think i've been using offwand because i didnt moved primary weapon. Maybe those were visual bugs but still funny

[sour pebble]

im guessing you're using sigil of power a decent amount

and at some point the game got confused and some sort of persistent display bug began

since sigil of power will autoswap to the staff

then casting spark will swap back

[slow copper]

yes

also i dont know if this may cause it, but i beat all cruel campaign with that staff, played with the wand for about 3 hours

[sullen thunder]

@sour pebble I went to trade for the gloves and some nice guy just gave me a pair for free. What a great community, honestly

[sour pebble]

well that's huge

now u can use the 1ex to gain back the resistances you lost

on another gear slot

[humble karma]

that +3 is kinda good?

[sour pebble]

yeah that thing is legit, what is required level?

[humble karma]

41

[sour pebble]

that's solid

for 41

[slow copper]

btw can i ask here if i got scammed for a pair of boots?

[humble karma]

yeah they do now much more dmg

[sour pebble]

each level of a skill in poe 2 is approximately 14 more damage and it scales exponentially so +3 is 1.14^3 = 48% more dmg from one mod

[slow copper]

30 spd
157 mana
29 fire res
28 cold res

[sullen thunder]

Uh @sour pebble he just gave me this for free, also. Should I be using it? I feel like it's good

[sour pebble]

i probably wouldn't use that at level 36 as a sorc unless your damage is so good that you can afford to spend some passive points on energy shield nodes

the issue is that your life getting cut in half will cause you to get stunned way more and get frozen way more

that's a lot of energy shield though so it's a tough call

[slow copper]

Mec could you please check my boots

[sour pebble]

how much did you pay

they're very good

[slow copper]

Guy listed them 20 ex

[sour pebble]

i switched from sc trade to ssf like 3 weeks ago so i'm not as in touch with economy atm. sounds very fair to me though.

[slow copper]

and was not responded and I offered him 30 ex and a couple minutes later he invited me to trade

[sullen thunder]

It takes me from 242 shield to 845 shield

[slow copper]

Very similar ones were around 50

[sullen thunder]

Holy

[trim turret]

It also cuts your life in half.

[sullen thunder]

It does, you're right

[sour pebble]

it's probably worth wearing them if you take a stun threshold from ES node

[trim turret]

And can reliably sustain es in combat.

[sour pebble]

and you'd want to switch your starting pathing to the ES nodes

you're probably on the spell damage nodes on the left atm

and chaos damage will go through your energy shield so watch out for any zones with poison mobs

and wear a freeze immune charm since you will be very easy to get frozen on such low max life

[wide oxide]

Guys I made a lighting arrow build with 5 divs and Iam clearing t15 maps not so easy but not so hard to
Is my build doing well or I got scammed the items I bought
Specially that my lighting arrow deals only 22k dmg

[slow copper]

how much difficulty do the higher tier maps increase?

[azure lava]

Not even mentioning the 83 life, damn

[sour pebble]

mostly mobs do a lot more damage in higher tier maps, but the increase to their hp isn't much

which is why CC through applying ailments ASAP from range is so powerful, since ailment threshold on mobs is based on their HP

if you CC stuff before it has a chance to perform any action then the increased damage enemies do in high maps doesn't matter

[slow copper]

do you think they are worth 30 ex?

[azure lava]

I'm ssf I have no idea. Also #price-check📉

[slow copper]

i'm sorry what is ssf?

[loud umbra]

how much would it cost to have someone carry through 3rd trial? im on my last djinn and im kinda in need of some carry T_T

[azure lava]

"Solo self found" no puedo intercambiar ni formar grupos

[slow copper]

ohh i see, looks fun

[azure lava]

Muy divertido, acuerdo

[daring dirge]

oh so drops disappear if you die and i thought the previous boss bugged out

[azure lava]

No necesito preocuparme con El economia

[daring dirge]

smh sucks then that a boss killed me right when i killed it, lost a bunch of drops

[vague prairie]

lf help on act 2 im a bit stuck

[lament stone]

#2┃looking-for-group

[eager basin]

poe2 chaos does double damage to energy shield, doesn't ignore it

[sour pebble]

my bad, i forgot about that

it's going to get rough to keep track of all these poe1 and poe2 differences when switching back and forth between games lol

[eager basin]

honestly I hope they backport the way ES works in poe2

it's really sad that in poe1 you're locked into running CI or a build-defining unique if you want to use energy shield for your main hit pool

[tender kernel]

hey guys, im here at the first ascension and there are mobs that are on top of a pilar and i cant kill them and continue with the quest, its the second time it happends on the same part (3)

should i do something to get them down ?

[tepid shore]

Anyome wanna help me with Act 1 Cruel

[tender kernel]

oh nvm... i got it

[autumn fable]

for ssfhc, is ice strike better than tempest for monk?

[sour pebble]

yeah for sure

freeze is very strong

[tender kernel]

should i go to the 10 round on the trials of chaos ?

[sour pebble]

im guessing based off your hp that you aren't in a 10 room temple of chaos

and that you're just noticing a UI bug oversight where it says X/10 rooms

[humble karma]

what do i do when he does the multi beam atk around him?

didnt see any way to escape it

[sour pebble]

the butt laser?

stand close to the boss

and go around him

the visual cue is his butt goes red

[humble karma]

nah dont know how to explain it he made a full circle around him with multiple beams

[sour pebble]

yeah that's the butt laser

[tender kernel]

idk its my first time here

[sour pebble]

it won't really be 10 rounds

the UI lies to you

[humble karma]

i cant run that fast lol

[sour pebble]

it'll be 7 rounds

[tender kernel]

aaaaaah and should i play all 7 ?

[sour pebble]

if you want to ascend, yes

[tender kernel]

what haappens if i take rewards?

i leave?

[sour pebble]

yeah although i've never chosen that so i'm not sure how it works in poe 2 exactly

[tender kernel]

ok ty

im gonna try, this# stone dosnt breake anyways

[sour pebble]

if you die to a boss that does a tornado, don't feel bad since that boss is overtuned as fuck

and the whole earth dying to it

[tender kernel]

F

these debuffs are massives

the F bird killed me 🙂

gonna gear up a little more before trying again xd

[frigid ivy]

idk anything about poe1 lore since i didnt play it but will we see viper napuatzi again in later acts since she disappeared through a portal

[scarlet sorrel]

is demon form only ranged damage skills?

[trim turret]

It provides buffs to spells, has nothing to do with ranged.

[scarlet sorrel]

spells that are ranged ...

[trim turret]

What are you asking?

If you consider all spells to be ranged, then sure. But theres nothing in the game that identifies or separates them as such.

[scenic locust]

so huh... I just make it to act 3 normal and theres a giant monkey boss that just keep insta murdering me

[sour pebble]

stay in melee range of monkey boss

that is the trick

[scarlet sorrel]

what a strange thing to say lmao idk why i thought asking a question here would be anything but a waste of time 😂

[sour pebble]

you stay close to the monkey boss and just keep doing circle around him while dealing damage

[frigid ivy]

yeah there was a big difficulty increase between act 2 and act 3 for me aswell

[sour pebble]

then only way u can get hit is his roll attack

[trim turret]

You asked if demon form only buffs ranged skills. There is nothing in the game that separates ranged skills from others when talking about spells.

[sour pebble]

if roll attack one shots you then your character is quite weak lol

[dull crow]

whats a good ssf build that can use mf gear?

[sour pebble]

they are nerfing the roll attack in the upcoming patch though...

[sour pebble]

pconc pathfinder is a very strong ssf starter

[dull crow]

ty

wait pconc again

this is poe 2 right

kekw

[sour pebble]

xdd

[dull crow]

nah pconc was fun on poe 1, can't wait to try it on poe 2

[sour pebble]

you can get widowhail super easy

[scarlet sorrel]

if you can't tell the difference between a ranged or melee skill why are you even trying to answer my question

[sour pebble]

what you do is get chance orbs and then make level 1 ranger characters to get the white crude bow bases

it's very high chance to get widowhail

[young gorge]

would it be foolish of me to start playing PoE1 at this point?

[trim turret]

Skills aren't separated in the game between ranged and melee. They're separated as attacks and spells.

[frigid ivy]

the demon form buffs all projectiles
so projectile spells and projectile arrows or whatever ammo

[scarlet sorrel]

jfc poe players try to answer a question without inserting their weird pedantry for 5 seconds any% challenge

[trim turret]

(12–25)% increased Cast Speed while in Demon Form
+(3–6) to Level of all Spell Skills while in Demon Form
Lose 0.5% of Life per second per Demonflame
Deal (7–18)% increased Spell damage per Demonflame

[scarlet sorrel]

thanks. other guy has a reading disability ig

[trim turret]

What about that mentions projectiles.

[trim turret]

Different words mean different things. Shocking.

[fading roost]

Two questions. Can you get two of the same modifier on a weapon? Like two elemental damage% increases. Secondly, does having multiple players with magic find stack?

[trim turret]

For the first one, only under circumstances where one is a standard mod and the other is a hybrid that combines two stats.

[plush mantle]

You have to be precise in PoE, every word in the game that is capitalized is a keyword with a specific meaning. "Attack" doesn't mean "hostile action against something" but a very specific subset of skills that you can use

[fading roost]

Lol, I'm referring to two of the exact same modifier

[spring creek]

Is it possible to join a free breach run if I haven’t finished campaign

[fading roost]

Like getting two stacks of different rarity of items found

[sour pebble]

It's kind of a complicated answer.

[plush mantle]

magic find is checked by the player that kills the mob. So only what the player making the killing blow has matters

[fading roost]

Good to know

[sour pebble]

There are some mods that can show as a prefix OR a suffix. It's rare this is the case, but it can happen such as increased item rarity mod on rings.

[scarlet sorrel]

no you can't. probably going to take a few hours of needless trash before someone finally gives you a straight answer

[sour pebble]

Another example is "increased fire damage %" on wands, which can roll as a prefix OR a suffix and you could get both to appear.

[desert egret]

Anyone wanna help me get done with The Dreadnought? ❤️ Username - GrabbingMyStaff

[sour pebble]

But you can't get a repeat of the same prefix mod nor a repeat of the same suffix mod.

[fading roost]

Ahhhh, okay prefix suffix stuff. So you can in that instance

[frigid ivy]

#2┃looking-for-group try asking there

[fading roost]

Not otherwise

[sour pebble]

Yes but it's very rare for mods to be able to roll as a prefix as well as a suffix.

There aren't many of these in the game

[desert egret]

Sorry 😄

[fading roost]

I get it, but it's good to know, especially for amulets

[sour pebble]

For example, you mentioned "increased elemental damage to attacks" (presumably on a quarterstaff) and that only exists as a prefix on that base type so it cannot roll twice

[fading roost]

Fair enough, but good to know. Follow-up

[sour pebble]

https://poedb.tw/us/Modifiers

[fading roost]

Can you control which changes (prefix/suffix) when you're crafting?

[sour pebble]

only through very expensive omen items from ritual as far as i know

[fading roost]

Ooof, again, good to know

[dull crow]

huh is there any guide for pconc leveling or do i just use another leveling build for now?

[trim turret]

Essences can MAYBE do it if mods are blocked on the item.

[sour pebble]

can't go wrong with ziz: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/poisonous-concoction-pathfinder-build-guide

[cunning tundra]

how do i use filter items

where should i go

[sour pebble]

and you may have missed it, but there is trick ot getting widowhail in SSF quickly. get chance orbs and then make fresh ranger characters so u get the white crude bows easily.

it's something like a 1 in 10 to hit widowhail

[fading roost]

Aren't chance orbs like supes expensive/rare?

[sour pebble]

not in my opinion but it depends on how fast u play i guess

10 uniques is 1 chance orb through disenchanting

and chance shards drop a lot

[fading roost]

Oh, I see. That's not that bad

That's 10 exalts which I can get pretty quickly

[plush mantle]

doing that in SSF requires an established character though 🙂

[sour pebble]

you dont need a widowhail immediatley for pconc pathfinder. the damage of the skill is insane even on bad gear.

it gets guaranteed levels and links just by leveling up your character

at level 90 it's a level 20 skill with 6L

skills from ascendancies automatically level up and gain links

[dull crow]

huh, am i doing somenthing wrong here?

[fading roost]

Funnily, trying to get an "average" Widowhail in the early game is worse than having a bow with a bunch of flats

[sour pebble]

i have a level 92 pathfinder in ssf atm and i had a 248% widowhail by level 80

it's not that bad

[dull crow]

how do i get the skill? @mec

[iron loom]

Should I replace Bow shot with Lightning Rod? Im using Bow shot, Lightning Arrow, Voltaic Mark and Escape shot

[sour pebble]

from first ascendancy

[frigid ivy]

which skill are you looking for

[dull crow]

ah nvm i'm dumb

[dull crow]

pconc

[plush mantle]

posion concoction is an ascendancy skill, you can't cut a gem for it

[dull crow]

pretty new to poe2, mb

[sour pebble]

play w/e until first ascendancy. i went lightning arrow setup that everyone uses in campaign early on

[fading roost]

You aren't the only one. Most of us are still learning here, lol

[sour pebble]

and then i just respec'd

[dull crow]

thats what i'm doing yeah

[sour pebble]

imo plague bearer is OP for clearing on that build

dont see enough people using it. i wonder if ziz recommends it

yeah see he's not using it... imo it's so good...

worth testing it for yourself

[dull crow]

he made a build and a video

so idk

or you mean plague bearer

[sour pebble]

plague bearer spirit gem

[dull crow]

for pconc right

[sour pebble]

yes

[dull crow]

yeah, hes not using on his build nor video

nvm

[sour pebble]

u put magnified effect support on it and it just clears entire screen

[dull crow]

damn

[sour pebble]

because your clearspeed suffers a lot without it

[humble karma]

why are here on the top 2 check points?

[plush mantle]

probably because you'd have to get spirit on gear; ziz is already using 95/100 spirit

[dusky burrow]

idk why that area is like that

the checkpoints, the parts that look like you should find a way to cross

it's bizarre, there's only the boss

[plush mantle]

likely there was something that was going to be there (treasure rooms or something plot related) but they cut the area and didn't remove the checkpoints

[humble karma]

there are 2 altars looking like the one where i did put some blood stones in to them but no stones on the ground

[plush mantle]

there's a couple of building entrances in the city too that don't go anywhere

[humble karma]

nvm then i thought i missed something 😄

[plush mantle]

you missed the small soul cores that aren't in the zone that go in the switches that don't do anything next to the checkpoints that still work for some odd reason 😉

(so no, you didn't miss anything)

[humble karma]

do i just sell them?

since there isnt really like a exchange option

[plush mantle]

I still want to beleive the message they spell out means something, but yeah, you just sell them to Oswald

[scenic locust]

nope, big ape smash me even when im right in front of me

insta kill

from point blanck

[plush mantle]

have a shield?

[verbal egret]

Anyone going through act 1 rn?

[scenic locust]

no, im a sorc

[plush mantle]

first trick to the gorilla is that he ALWAYS uses the pillar slam as his first attack

[humble karma]

have that one left as well..

[scenic locust]

like i can dodge it, but asd soon as i miss one im dead

even if im running on him

[plush mantle]

I THINK there's a ranged falloff on the slam, but I'm not 100%

feels like I survive more often if I'm further away from him

[scenic locust]

this is absolutely ridiculous

[ocean parcel]

ok can someone tell me where I can actually find enemy ailment threshold or is that still unknown/not-data-mined-yet?

[sour pebble]

lethargie it sounds like your damage might be a bit low

hmmm

[plush mantle]

still unknown. Don't think we really know enemy resistance values either

[sour pebble]

you can just skip that boss

[ocean parcel]

booo

[sour pebble]

and come back later when you have more dps

the boss gives a good reward but not a critical reward in the short-term

[ocean parcel]

thanks

[scenic locust]

so... I got him. Trick was just never getting hit forever

stupid ass mechanics

had to abuse stupid ai pathfinding around obstacle

[sour pebble]

that is one of the harder mini bosses for sorc in campaign

because you're probably playing spark which is bad in open areas like that

and you have no physical mitigation

[scenic locust]

im not playing spark

Im doing essence drain

[sour pebble]

oh i thought u said sorc my bad

[scenic locust]

yeah, sorc essence drain

[sour pebble]

alright ur establishing ur own meta i see

more power to you

[scenic locust]

meh, its normal, theres literally zero diff between sorc and witch start

[glacial palm]

Unless minion, but yeah.

[scenic locust]

but yeah, its pretty ass

[glacial palm]

Felt pretty good for me during the campaign at least 😅

Was pretty fun rolling chaos outside of witch, never really gone that route before.

ED/Contag continues to clear as always.

[sour pebble]

very difficult to scale chaos damage over time in poe 2 atm

it's undersupported for sure

well, other than poison builds

[glacial palm]

ED kind of saves that during campaign at least.

Spell damage buffs directly buff the dot

[sleek cargo]

Where do I see my total crit chance

[sour pebble]

u can make it work for awhile for sure, i just think it's relatively weak

[glacial palm]

Just check the stats for any of your skills

[scenic locust]

tried to switch to cold or fire (chrono slow node for ascendency) but i cant find a wand/staff for neither

[glacial palm]

Honestly though, stick with chaos bolt @scenic locust

[sour pebble]

just need 1 exalt to get a good weapon

[scenic locust]

i dont even have that lol

[glacial palm]

Like that has been doing some ridiculous damage for me so far.

Oh, just any withered wand.

[scenic locust]

power siphon wand

[glacial palm]

Ah.

The shops should refresh every time you level, and whoever sells potions/jewelry should have one in stock for you at some point.

[scenic locust]

yeah but I never get any chaos damage of spell damage on want

[glacial palm]

Just with how much we put into chaos damage, and the fact that it scales support gem slots based on level, you can pack quite a bit into that thing.

[sour pebble]

trade for a wand

you're in sc trade??

[scenic locust]

trade

[sour pebble]

i bet chaos wands are super cheap

[scenic locust]

who sells wand for lvl 30 char lol

[glacial palm]

People that want currency and don't have much else to use their public stash space for 😅

You're not the only one leveling a new character.

I would pretty regularly leave half-decent drops in my store for a day or so while leveling my new character. Clear out anything that didn't sell the next day, sell it to the vendor, and repeat.

[sour pebble]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/X7GQ9lkHP

look at this beautiful wand

[frigid ivy]

theres something for everyone on the trade website you just gotta take like 5 minutes to look

[scenic locust]

huh, 2 things:

1. do the seller even answer
   2)I hate that this stupid single player game requires trade use for anything

[frigid ivy]

it says theyre online so just press direct whisper and wait for them to respond

[glacial palm]

You are putting a lot of roadblocks in front of yourself 😦

[frigid ivy]

then join them ingame and trade

[glacial palm]

Like don't put yourself down the bad road before life does lol

[sour pebble]

just weaken the search filters if the 2 sellers of that specific search don't respond

[scenic locust]

sorry for venting. I someone got the stupid idea they would have tried to make poe 2 a bit better. But its poe 1 all over again

[sour pebble]

you can reduce the count from 2 to 1

or reduce the minimums from 30 to something lower like 20

and then you'll get many results

[humble karma]

do people buy stuff like that even, its kinda low lvl 😄

[glacial palm]

They said, while leveling their chaos dot chronomancer through a campaign far better than poe was without contest 😦

[scenic locust]

i disagree that it is better in any way shape or form

[glacial palm]

You are welcome to, people are entitled to their opinions.

Wrong or otherwise.

[sour pebble]

wands without +spells are pretty much unsellable

it's simply too powerful and common of a mod to go without

[robust gulch]

game suddenly bork'd

[vague prairie]

i just started and im on act 2 and im a warrior but i do ABSOLUTELY NO DMG what do i do😭

[humble karma]

ok, going to trash it, btw what do i do with those two?

[sour pebble]

valley of the titans quest

[frigid ivy]

trade for some better weapons

[dusky burrow]

get a better weapon, probably

[vague prairie]

where could i possibly find a better weapon?

[sour pebble]

1 exalted orb solves every attack build's current issues in campaign lol

what's your character level fear

[robust gulch]

trading

[frigid ivy]

use some filters on the trade website to find something youre looking for

[vague prairie]

everything that drops is feels significantly worse then what im using

[sour pebble]

what is your character level

so we can make a search for you

[vague prairie]

like 22

21

[dusky burrow]

why do you say "feels" when you should be able to tell objectively

[sour pebble]

do you prefer a certain element?

eh nvm ill just do a count

[humble karma]

how much chaos orbs is one ex?

[vague prairie]

ur right everything that drops is ass

😭

[glacial palm]

Ask Alva, not us. Most up-to-date info.

[humble karma]

why would alva know how much they are xD

[glacial palm]

Because they run the currency exchange...

[sour pebble]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/rOJwog4SQ

[vague prairie]

im on this quest at the boss to relight the flame and im doing no dmg to him so i cant beat it

[humble karma]

wut

[dusky burrow]

alva runs currency exchange

[marsh musk]

how much scrolls of wisdom is one mirror guys

[dusky burrow]

at least fourteen.

[frigid ivy]

alva has a feature that lets you know how much each is worth

[dusky burrow]

after that you're on your own

[glacial palm]

At least fourteen, pretty sure.

[marsh musk]

i only have 1

[humble karma]

dont even know where alva is right now 😄

[sour pebble]

this mace is nuts, get this lol

wtf

[vague prairie]

bet that

[sour pebble]

no runes yet either

[marsh musk]

How many Diva Orbs is 1000 orbs of transmutation

[sour pebble]

no quality

[glacial palm]

Dang, few more and you could get a mirror shard at least.

[frigid ivy]

@vague prairie

[pulsar dune]

So when do I start losing XP on death? Is it after a certain level, or just on Maps, or what

[sour pebble]

o.O

bro one sec ill buy it for u

[frigid ivy]

mec is such a real one

[trim turret]

In maps.

[vague prairie]

wait W

[marsh musk]

my favorite one is these ones

"WTB 7-8 ascendany point, Standard 40 ex" in these chats

[humble karma]

do i just leave it like that?

[marsh musk]

what else are you gonna do wtih it wtf

[glacial palm]

Just pick the one you like, and yeah. You're done.

[glacial palm]

To be fair, there's no confirmation button or anything. It's not like other things where you select one and say "Yes, I have picked" 😅

[sour pebble]

whats ur char name

[humble karma]

the hell do i know i am looking for a button to confirm but there isnt one

[vague prairie]

is xp per hour how much i been getting?

[frigid ivy]

whichever buff is highlighted is the one thats active

[vague prairie]

FearZzzz

somone took fear😭

[marsh musk]

fair enough

[marsh musk]

it's an average yes

[vague prairie]

how i accept

[sour pebble]

idk how to trade on console. i guess u gotta hover the items and then press accept?

there ya go

[marsh musk]

yeah you just have to cursor over them on console

[vague prairie]

thank u

[sour pebble]

damage should be POPPING now

[vague prairie]

🙏

lemme go find out

[humble karma]

i dont see a currency market 💀

[sour pebble]

unlocks in act 4

alva eventually gets the option but not in act 3

[glacial palm]

Then yeah, I would recommend just to continue playing before bothering with currency trading. You're almost there

[sour pebble]

yep well tehre ya go

[glacial palm]

Huh, Finn handles it early on? Never bothered to check while I was early campaign lol

But yeah, as you progress Alva will handle it for you.

[sour pebble]

yeah finn in act 4 is earliest u get it

[forest carbon]

are the trials of chaos not meant to be done at level or am i just bad

ive tried like 20 times and i cant win

[vague prairie]

it does about that much dmg'

[glacial palm]

They're not the easiest, especially if you don't know what to pick. It's easy to make it hard for yourself.

[vague prairie]

it could 100% be a skill issue

[sour pebble]

warrior is the only class i'm not confident enough to help with

i just know that weapon is solid

[limpid panther]

should i be identifying items before selling them? does it affect the price?

[sour pebble]

i dont know which skills are best for leveling though

[vague prairie]

it tripled my dmg so ya

[vague prairie]

ya my skills dont do much

my friend said warrior early game is painful

[sour pebble]

i would guess earthquake is insane on that fight

idk maybe a warrior pro can chime in

[vague prairie]

does it scale off weapon

dmg

[astral pilot]

whats the ettiquette for waiting between sending trade requests when the seller doesnt respond? 5 minutes seems ok for me but not sure how most ppl do this

[vague prairie]

HOLY it does wait lemme use my skills lol

[frigid ivy]

you just been punching the boss the whole time 😭

[sour pebble]

good god, these maxroll guides are unironically suggesting default attack for single target

warrior truly in shambles

[glacial palm]

... does warrior not have generators?

[sour pebble]

oh they mention perfect strike

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/boneshatter-titan-leveling-guide#skills-header

[vague prairie]

yea pretty much i want u to know every boss i killed so far has been just straight clubbing

[frigid ivy]

thats lowkey impressive

[sour pebble]

gigachad default attack build

[tardy stone]

i'm fighting a rare mob with regenerates life and damage taken from minions first modifier... can someone explain damage taken from minions first please

[sour pebble]

some of the damage you deal to the rare mob will instead be taken from the life of the mobs around it

[pulsar dune]

usually we just bump the main attack for stun buildup so we can hit bosses with the big hitters really

[sour pebble]

looks like it is 50% of damage will be re-directed to the minions around the rare

[tardy stone]

interesting.

[fluid yoke]

Has anyone's character gotten bricked yet going through the campaign? Anytime i try to progress through "infested barrens'' the game dc's me and closes out. i can play all my other characters fine.

[sour pebble]

so effectively the rare mob has 100% more eHP for as long as the minions remain alive

which on top of a regeneration mod means that rare is giga tanky lol

[tardy stone]

ya it took me a few minutes to kill the bugger lol

[noble summit]

can you only get the spirit bonus once from Azak in the Azak bog?

i got +40 from act 6 but didnt kill it in act 3

so if i go back to act 3 will i also get another +40

[topaz junco]

No. You can go back and get the other one

[sour pebble]

you'll get 30

a1 30, a3 30, a6 40 and you'll end up at 100 spirit

[noble summit]

whats the 30 from in act 1

[sour pebble]

king in the mists in freythorn zone

bro have u been at 0 spirit for acts 1 through 5?

you've been playing on hardmode

[noble summit]

well i just got 40 spirit

from a6

[sour pebble]

yeah so

[olive magnet]

Hey guys how much resistance do i need right after cruel act3

[sour pebble]

0 spirit from campaign for acts 1 through 5 ?

[olive magnet]

For endgame

It has to be 75% for all?

[dusky burrow]

you want 75/75/75

if the rest is good you can get away with less

if not you can't

[olive magnet]

For even, beginning of endgame?

[sour pebble]

what are you resistances

[dusky burrow]

again depends if the rest of your build is going well

[sour pebble]

screenshot it maybe

[vague prairie]

I KILLED HIM

[olive magnet]

I am doing cruel Act 2 now

[zinc basalt]

i need a new build to play, getting bored of ice strike monk

[dusky burrow]

what do you really need to know besides more is better

[sour pebble]

u can get by in mapping with like some elemental resistances being around 50% but it's obviousy scarier

[olive magnet]

Here’s my stat now at Cruel act2.

[sour pebble]

huli do u have some exalted orbs?

[olive magnet]

I am wondering I can meet all 75% before I finish act 3 since don’t have much ex orb

[dusky burrow]

if you try it should be fine

[olive magnet]

I have about 15 ex now

Trying to get 75

[dusky burrow]

15ex is way plenty

[sour pebble]

i got u

one sec

[olive magnet]

With 2~3 ex items

[dusky burrow]

have you already bought some pieces?

[olive magnet]

Yeah

[dusky burrow]

you can cap res with 1ex equipment easily

[olive magnet]

That’s why I got that amount

[dusky burrow]

if you're not struggling i'd wait for buying gear

[olive magnet]

So consider resistance as priority than others

[dusky burrow]

due to level reqs

[dusky burrow]

ur a titan, it's just life str res for all ur gear

15ex does that easily

[olive magnet]

I want, rarity %, life regeneration, lol

Maybe later haha

But I got it. 75

[sour pebble]

1ex rings with 90% or more resistance

[zenith pewter]

if i had a question with my build about a specific skill would i post a threat to Build help still?

[olive magnet]

Even at the beginning of endgame

[sour pebble]

wait im dumb one sec

LOL

[astral pilot]

decided to try my luck and added two exalts, gaining the crit chance and attack speed.
... did that go as well as i think it did? seems pretty good

[river grove]

im on to cruel!

[sour pebble]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/Jr8OGGWFl

use this instead

these are like 120% elemental resistance rings

sort by sum

[vague prairie]

how far do i need to get in act 2 for ascending

[sour pebble]

you just killed titan so you should already be able to ascend

[frigid ivy]

you can already ascend
theres a boss in the traitors passageway that you mightve missed

[bitter ingot]

Lvl 22/24 iirc

[river grove]

whats the diffrence between cruel and normal game

[bitter ingot]

Same maps with more difficulty

[river grove]

and you have to beat cruel to access endgame

[sour pebble]

6 acts. acts 1-3 are called normal by players. acts 4-6 are called cruel.

acts 4-6 are repeats of acts 1-3, but harder mobs

[vague prairie]

this?

[frigid ivy]

yeah theres a boss in there that if you kill it will unlock the area you need to ascend

[scarlet falcon]

how does maximum energy shield work, I swapping 2 boots and one has 50 more energy shield, and I have nearly all + maximum energy shield nodes, but when I swap the difference is only 8. if I take them off I definitely lose like 1000 energy shield so the + maximum is working, but I don't know why the new boots aren't 50 * ES multipliers higher

[stiff oak]

What’s the best option when you have no skill gems but need to change skills? Early game

[waxen osprey]

is the +x% max energy shield on jewelry for the entire energy shield?

[vague prairie]

thanks

yall goated

first time i think i got good help after asking in a game discord

[sour pebble]

i bet you have eldritch battery and everlasting gaze

[scarlet falcon]

I have neither

[vague prairie]

er what did u guys do to me😭

[sour pebble]

wtf...

[vague prairie]

im 1 hitting everything

[sour pebble]

hmm then it makes no sense to me either

do you have ghostwrithe??

[frigid ivy]

it gets balanced out when you make it to act 3 😭
that act was brutal

[sour pebble]

or atziri disdain

[scarlet falcon]

I do have ghostwrithe

[sour pebble]

well then

one of the boots probably has a life roll

and the other doesn't

[scarlet falcon]

ohhh that's it

one has a life roll

but not having life is good because it lowers my demonform stacks

ok this makes me feel better

ok thanks @sour pebble I was losing my mind

[gentle palm]

ive been trying to buy a jewel (sapphire 2% mana on kill) for about 3 days now, i must have DM'ed about 100 people from listings and not had a single response. I had previously been able to buy gear via the trade site without issue so not sure whats going on! very frustatiring

its not just new listings either, some that are a few hours or days old

[swift yacht]

if the price is to good to be true, its a price fixer. i have run into a quite a few.

[gentle palm]

you mean they are just testing how many DM's they get?

[vague prairie]

he dead onto next step

[dull crow]

huh

did they change the way campaign maps work?

[swift yacht]

not they set the price of a good item at 1ex as an example, hoping others price check and see it and set thiers low so they can buy and relist it.

[vague prairie]

alr so what do i do here'

[frigid ivy]

balbala shouldve dropped something that you can put into that altar

itll activate the trials

[gentle palm]

oh right, some people have far too much time on their hand. thanks

[quiet spoke]

You can set a price range and activate live search on the top left next to the search bar instead of a normal search, and do what the price fixers do and try to snipe any new listed jewels before they sell out. Takes a while still but shouldn't take days if you do it that way since you're DMing someone just as it's listed. vS DMing the 3 day old ones that are priced to manipulate the market

[frigid ivy]

remember when you start the trials, the honor bar is your health so if your honor bar drops to 0 you lose

[waxen osprey]

can I see my totel +x% energy shield multiplier somewhere?

[gentle palm]

ty but i caved and just upped my price and bought one for 20 ex

[chilly hill]

hey guys what can i do if i message someone who created a listing on the trading website but they dont join? ive been trying to get a ring for an hour but the people who are creating new listings are not responding when i message them. :/

[vague prairie]

jus got this in the trial

[lost nexus]

Does Ghostwrithe get Iron runes or Body runes?

[dull crow]

small question, i saw that theres magic find gear here as well, is there a breakpoint where more rarity isn't really that helpfull or nah?

nvm, aparently its softcap at 150%

[quiet spoke]

All good trading is it's own job sometimes lol

[sour pebble]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPu_jXKbKI8

[rotund river]

what rolls?

[gentle palm]

roughly when do greater jewelers orb start dropping? I am currently on waystone 3's

[quiet spoke]

Ye 100-150 feels mandatory and has diminished returns after

[quiet spoke]

I got one at around t7or 8

[sour pebble]

this is the important summary

[quiet spoke]

Says online t10 is best and above to farm it

[dull crow]

tysm ❤️

[river grove]

this seems really good

[gentle palm]

thanks, that will take me a while

[sour pebble]

but note that these IIR values are your TOTAL iir, which is IIR from gear * IIR from map/zone

[quiet spoke]

I love graphs thank you lmao

[dull crow]

yeah, thats exactly the one i found lol

[sour pebble]

so it is not saying to get 150% iir on gear

u actually want much less than that

[glacial palm]

Math answer above, short answer is it's all luck.
I've yet to get a greater myself, and got my first perfect earlier in a 3
Just gotta kill more stuff, get more drops, increase those odds 🙂

[dull crow]

i searched on google and ty, nothing, search on google with "reddit" and just showed that video

yeah, it basically says that after 150% its close to useless, it was what i meant

[quiet spoke]

Pull the arm on the slot machine enough you eventually win, all thanks to RNJesus

[placid yarrow]

can anyne spare me some Exalted Orb or how i get them i need to finish my build

[sour pebble]

70% IIR on gear is a good spot to be at

[dull crow]

like, if i get lucky with good rolls i just don't need to care more about it on other items, is what i was thinking, also probably gonna try to get some mf gear for the acts

since so far its not that bad with bad gear

[rotund river]

i cannot WAIT for these damn item filters on console bro 🙏 gonna make my life so much easier

[dull crow]

doing gas arrow atm, it cleans every mob pretty well

gonna change to pconc when i finish this quest

[gentle palm]

Console life is hard, its swaying me to build a gaming pc

[quiet spoke]

I always rock rarity, and after playing ruthless and realizing Poe 2 followed the same kind of loot distribution I don't see a reason not to use it. if you're ssf id definitely keep rarity around to toss on when you're stronger than the maps you're in too!

[lost nexus]

Does a Body rune in Ghostwrithe give more ES than an Iron rune?

[quiet spoke]

Yeah all you guys on console have it rough without loot filters, when you're able to follow them on the site you may want to check out neversinks it's a pretty good one and widely used

[fallen surge]

its only level 14 you can do better!

[river grove]

ii got this in act 4 lol

[fallen surge]

yea but in all seriousness its not good

[fallen surge]

nah its just a elon musk reference

[gentle palm]

not being able to communicate is rough too

[sour pebble]

iron rune seems like it would be more by my quick math

[river grove]

better stats then what i had for a belt

[lost nexus]

@sour pebble I was thinking Iron rune as well because the ES on the armor has more scaling in the tree. Whereas if you're scaling ES you're likely not scaling the 50 life from the Body runes.

[vague prairie]

er what i do

[sour pebble]

body rune is 12.5 ES and iron rune is 25.6

[vague prairie]

or i pledge or nah

[sour pebble]

for 5 sacred water you get to look at 3 choices that have an upside and a downside

if none of the options seem worth it, you can just walk away and choose none of them

so it's worth 5 sacred water just to see the options

[vague prairie]

lol fountain bout to be useless cuz im almost done

so do i get rid of it

or nah

i have like 300 honor or smt

[sour pebble]

if the first option will give you more honor than you'd get from fountain then yeah that's just a positive

[craggy gyro]

Damn is there any easy way to kiterally get +1 spirit

Im that close from another minion

[sour pebble]

do u have a shitty helm?

[craggy gyro]

everythimg got rare items lol

[sour pebble]

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

you can build off this search to look for a helmet with spirit corrupted implicit

these items will all be corrupted though so be warned

oh

u can get the rune...

that is probably easiest

[craggy gyro]

Not sure what corrupted does a rune socket? Thats worth it

or i need toget a nee sceptre soon ill tru gettin spirit that way first

[sour pebble]

i just realized we're in campaign help channel lol

my advice makes no sense for you probably, sorry

yeah a better sceptre might be best

[vague prairie]

im on the boss fight do i use my sacred tears to get 52 honor back

[sour pebble]

spirit can roll on chest, sceptre, amulets

[vague prairie]

and ill be full

[sour pebble]

and also as corrupted implicit on helms

[vague prairie]

or do they give bonus at end

[craggy gyro]

U can open chests if u habe enough with a key if ur tryna win gk for honor

[muted agate]

Would someone have time to show me what I might be doing wrong with my build? I have hit a log jam in Act 2

[vague prairie]

i lost

can someone help me?

[glacial palm]

If you have any questions, you're in the right place.

If you want someone to play with you for it, try #2┃looking-for-group or global chat in-game.

[vague prairie]

alr thanks

[verbal egret]

what do you need help with

[wintry oriole]

for the armor Morior Invictus Grand Regalia, what's the best soul core to put in it?

[dull crow]

during campaing on ssf, should i diss every blue/rare item, or sell for gold?

ik that white/blue with slot i should diss

[dusky burrow]

i think rare = diss

blue you can do whatever, gold if you need it

regals are a lot scarcer than transmutes

[dull crow]

honestly i'm always in need of gold kekw

i see

[scenic lark]

pls help, should I go for STR stack infernalist as soon as I unlock 4 asc points or go with hound and another skill?

[gentle parrot]

Tsuki!!! And it all depends on your build/needs what are you running?:>

[wintry oriole]

i'm just asking to see if i should buy it or not, i'm too broke to buy it anyways. feel free to donate any cute armor to tsuki \o/

[gentle parrot]

Bahaha well usual builds would go for azkapa (rare%+) soul cores with ele resis/rare% increase per socket on the armor itself

Attribute builds that stack stats go for attribute%/mana% on the armor with the sockets having whatever the person needs/wants which typically is all ele res or chaos res

[vague prairie]

ascension trial

[stray bough]

Does anyone wanna do the campaign together just started

[rotund river]

yall think it’s a good idea to hold off on ascendancy trials (chaos in particular) until you’re slightly over leveled?

[jolly schooner]

no

[rotund river]

fair

[hexed scroll]

So I’m leveling an alt and I went to venom crypts to get the vials for the buff. The corpse is missing. Is the venom draught an account wide buff? I assumed it was character based. Or is this a bug?

[thorny vessel]

i dont need to do every random stuff on campaign right? like that witch brewing 3 mushrooms for potions

there's no hidden stat received in there right just flask

[jolly schooner]

its always good to do all of those side things tbf

[thorny vessel]

doesn't answers my question if there's a hidden stat

[jolly schooner]

if ur talking abt chapter3 then yes

[thorny vessel]

(I already got a main, im just doing my sub)

[placid yarrow]

can people help of trial of chaos

[thorny vessel]

Is there a hidden stats given to useless side quests such as molten vault boss, or the 3 mushroom flask thing or i can totally skip them?

[scenic lark]

are regal orbs rare, I kind of used all 6 of mine to upgrade gear as lvl 30, 4 were bad rolls

and is there an item to reroll instead of upgrade rare items

[fast mortar]

do i have to find a Djinn barya thats area level 60+ for the third ascension?

[thorny vessel]

yes, also 4th is the same logic, lvl75+

you could see the trials, 4 7 10

3rd is 7

[fast mortar]

alrighty ty 🙂

[worthy drum]

Im confused about minion summon skills. I added to my gem setup, but then there is no skill available to be added tk hotbar to actually summon them or reserve them, i do have enough spirit. Is this somekind of bug?

[fast mortar]

in that case, anyone got a lvl 60 djinn barya i could have please? ❤️

[meager galleon]

on the skill screen (G)

there is a + - by the minion skill

you just use those to select how many minions of each skill you want

[gentle parrot]

Yes if youre struggling

[worthy drum]

Oooohhhhh! Didnt knew. Thanks

[fast mortar]

you could always ask for help im sure there are some high levels willing to take a few minutes out of their day to help with it

[glacial palm]

You can choose to go for either trial, chaos or sekhema, for any ascension

[gentle parrot]

Ah fs

[glacial palm]

For 3rd ascension you can choose to use a 3-trial barya to do it at Sekhema, or a 10 trial ultimatum for chaos.

[fast mortar]

10 trial danggg now thank you

no*

[glacial palm]

Well, you say that but 3 trial sek is also pretty long 😅

Some builds also aren't a big fan of boss 3.

[fast mortar]

oh tru?

[tame drift]

hello is attk speed a sure socket on our staff weapon?

[fast mortar]

i would sy so

more attack speed more dmg

[glacial palm]

I still prefer sek for 3rd though, especially if you invest in honour resistance.

[fast mortar]

yeah i got a relic or 2 for honour res

[thorny vessel]

im all in sek until 4th, chaos is ridiculous

[tame drift]

ok i see guides with ele penetrate

[gentle parrot]

Yeah Id say sek is much easier with honour res/max res

[glacial palm]

Try and go for 75 before you head in there, it honestly is worth.

[fast mortar]

so i should just skip 3rd asc till around lvl 70-75?

[thorny vessel]

or you can just look for LFG channel, they give away free 1st-4th ascend there or pay like 40ex

[gentle parrot]

The 4th is rough tho, youll hafta do 10 round chaos 3 times for a chance to get all 3 pieces for trial master

[glacial palm]

@fast mortar 75 honor res.

[gentle parrot]

But those pieces are cheap now

[thorny vessel]

keyword: chance

xD

[gentle parrot]

Yap tons of fun

[silk frigate]

I’m not completely new to ARPGs if that’s make a difference

[gentle parrot]

Anything but warrior xD

[silk frigate]

Well said lol

Warriors having a terrible time

[thorny vessel]

you want the most comfy? infernalist minion witch

[glacial palm]

What do you usually enjoy playing in these sorts of games?

[gentle parrot]

Yeah your preference matters most

[silk frigate]

Usually i play the agile zoomy class and sometimes the all rounder that’s my preference

[gentle parrot]

Then a ranger is best for ya, the fastest at clearing atm

[silk frigate]

Well i had my eyes on it for a while

[fossil knot]

[silk frigate]

I saw a lot of videos for rangers i liked it

[gentle parrot]

[ancient walrus]

is it common for every1 on trade website to ignore whispers? or am I just getting unlucky

[silk frigate]

Will do thanks for the replies i appreciate it

[silk frigate]

Unfortunately that’s how it’s sometimes in ARPGs trading

[pine finch]

either unlucky, they get spammed cause price is cheap or you try to buy stuff that has been listed for days. some ppl list and never sell

[thorny vessel]

try live searching if you want to fight for the fastest whisper on the west

or just raise your price yeah

[ancient walrus]

live searching? is that just refreshing the page?

[thorny vessel]

go search something first

afterward live search appears

[meager galleon]

it checks for you automatically and makes a noise notofication when something new matching your criteria appears on trade

[wicked spear]

I was using staff/bow and now all of a sudden bow skills are all greyed out, if I switch bow to slot 1 all melee skills are greyed out. I have attributes for skills/equip/weapons and everything worked fine until I just loaded orgham village. Restarted game and still broke. Also Herald of Thunder won't enable on bow says not valid (Ice works fine).

[unkempt stirrup]

is it worth running through the trails of chaos and the other trail after I got my first 2 sets of points, got a couple of the key things for them. Level 50 in act 1 cruel right now

[daring dragon]

I didn't mean for you to post here I linked a specific comment from yesterday

Some guy had a similar sounding issue

And I linked you the fix

[wicked spear]

thx, for the clarification. I misunderstood at first,

[daring dragon]

I hope the fix works for you, if not then you can of course ask here.

[jolly schooner]

is there a program for late game after the campaign that highlights only the important items?

[thorny vessel]

item filter

[jolly schooner]

is that a program or jsut a tool inside the game

[thorny vessel]

https://www.filterblade.xyz/?game=Poe2

[jolly schooner]

ty

[wicked spear]

It did not as it was not quite the same issue, but I unequipped all my skills and re-equipped everything and got it working.

[daring dragon]

Glad you found a quick solution

[north delta]

Is anyone by chance doing 4th Ascendancy? Selling them or anything?

[daring dragon]

Not here

#rules-and-info

[north delta]

Is there a page for it? Sorry, am new to this disc 😦 my apologies.

[daring dragon]

You can check #2┃looking-for-group

Or go to the forbidden trove discord if you want to buy a carry

But this discord allows no trading

[north delta]

Ok gotcha, thank you and again, my apologies.

[daring dragon]

All good

[thorny vessel]

[dry prawn]

[sand fox]

[swift rapids]

[swift dagger]

Keyboard people, are you using mouse or WASD for movement?

Just curious

[thorny vessel]

lvl93 wasd

[kind finch]

I have an issue, i cant seem to find against the darkness gem with mana and spirit, because the trade site is bugged, is there another way of getting 10 more spirit ? because i have the armor with 5 sockets and 10 spirit....

[thorny vessel]

bug? no one is probably selling or you put the wrong stat filter

[craggy gyro]

Lf anyone to give me a carry throigh second trial? I’m hard stuck and would really help my progression my ign is Draxonerrr if anyone would like to help

[daring dragon]

#2┃looking-for-group

[kind finch]

have you ever tried a search for the gem with specific stats ? and you will see what im talking about there is no FILTER for it... its a TEXT

[thorny vessel]

can you ss what specifically are you looking for?

EXPLICIT IMPLICIT ENCHANT have you tried those?

[kind finch]

man... yes i did im not a moron, its just with this particular gem that has many possible nods and you cannot find them in the search, it appears as text and you have ctr+f to search for the ones you need

it doesnt work as a normal item

go check it

[thorny vessel]

whose the moron here, the one who doesn't want to show the specific thing he's searching about or what, mr. know how

we're just shooting darts here

[kind finch]

ive written what i am searching for above, please read next time

[kind finch]

Against the Darkness uniqe jewel, with 1% mana and 10 spririt

[daring dragon]

It's not possible to currently filter for time lost jewels Xelieu

[thorny vessel]

im reading text, yet you won't tell where specifically is it on the item section

i see

[kind finch]

ahh

thank god you do

[coarse mortar]

Hello guys, i'm new and i don't understand the point of vaal orbs

[daring dragon]

It's a gamble

It's can make your item/skill gem/waystone/whatever better or worse

[coarse mortar]

Oh i can use them on anything ?

[daring dragon]

Pretty much

[weary osprey]

don't use them on things you can't afford to replace

[daring dragon]

Be aware tho that once an item is vaaled you can't alter it anymore.

[coarse mortar]

Can i use them on jeweler orbs to get more gem slots ?

[daring dragon]

Yes

Assuming you mean skill gems

[weary osprey]

what many people do is use a lesser one first and then vaal in the hopes that they won't need to buy a greater

[coarse mortar]

Oh yeah skill gems

Cause when i used it on items it just either did nothing or i just got lower stats

[daring dragon]

That can happen yes

There is a great variety of possible outcomes

[coarse mortar]

I feel like i'd rather trade them for regal orbs to roll for better items tbh

[daring dragon]

Some being insanely good, others making the item useless.

[neat spire]

guys is left one better?? im witchhunter playing with grenades but guide doesnt talk about armour at low levels

[arctic bobcat]

can anyone explain to me the 3rd line of the unique anda is the unique by itself good ?

[neat spire]

i just dont get evasion in this game

[daring dragon]

Most likley yes

[coarse mortar]

The unique just seems not worth it to me

[weary osprey]

evasion is you have a chance to not get hit by normal swings/projectiles

[neat spire]

also i just noticed im like 30 dex off,

[weary osprey]

but there's lots of aoe effects that evasion doesn't apply to normally

[coarse mortar]

@neat spire how do you proc bleed ? I play grenade merc too

[daring dragon]

That unique pretty much does nothing for your build unless you happen to run bleeding

It's other stats are rly bad for your lvl in general

[stark zenith]

when is the patch coming?

[daring dragon]

This week

[neat spire]

i dont proc a thing, im qujite new just using the unique cuz nothing else

[daring dragon]

Any chest with max HP and resistances will be better then

[coarse mortar]

Oh yeah, well this item does nothing for you dude, just get evasion and armor for your chestpiece

Is stun threshhold a trash stat ?

[daring dragon]

Yes

[neat spire]

i can use that armour instead since i dont have the dex to the other

[daring dragon]

Still better yes

[coarse mortar]

You should really roll an armor and evasion imo

[unborn delta]

Can check vendors, too.

[arctic bobcat]

is this a good mod to have on these gloves

[neat spire]

so i watched this video that said armor slows you down so i kinda gont ever go for armour

[arctic bobcat]

first time valling something

[coarse mortar]

What ? That can't be true

[daring dragon]

It is

[arctic bobcat]

thats not true , armour sucks atm

it is ???

huh ??

[daring dragon]

Yes

[frigid ivy]

if youve played fromsoft games think of how armour adds weight to your character

[daring dragon]

Chest armor with armor decreases your movement speed the most, then hybrid, then evasion only.
