[haughty niche]

it also happened to get a release for poe2 today but idk how complete it is or where to download it

[grave crystal]

is it like maxroll

[haughty niche]

not really no

[wooden lava]

way more advanced than the maxroll planner from what little i used it today

[grave crystal]

that looks advanced

[haughty niche]

it lets you view all the stats on your character, even more than in game for example. I think the poe2 version is lower on features, but poe1 version supports importing character stats from in game and everything. Its a better dps calc / defense calc than the game itself

[grave crystal]

oh okay so its a tool to guide your decision for builds

[haughty niche]

ye

its incredibly popular in poe1 cause literally every single build will have a pob link that you can import

heres an example of it showing dps changes when comparing weapons

[grave crystal]

sick

[haughty niche]

multiple skill trees, notes, etc

[grave crystal]

ill look into it

[river grove]

they made one for poe2?

[stable fulcrum]

Are tiers gone from item mods now?

[haughty niche]

its out now. Think theres a link in #other-news

but its lacking features pretty sure

[safe lance]

~~Also remember to never ask a poe player about pob, unless you have like 2-3 hours to listen to them talk about it ~~

[grave crystal]

will it auto update with new features

[safe lance]

no import yet from what I heard but I am on console mostly anyway

[plush mantle]

#other-news but yes 🙂

[haughty niche]

i enjoy pob more than the game itself

[calm flame]

how do i fix the bug of map crashing

i cant even enter

[safe lance]

It helps understand where DPS actually comes from. I remember people slapping their forehead at my questions in poe1 help channels until I started using this to find out myself.

[safe lance]

I havent encountered such crashes but #2┃after-acts-help might be a good place to ask too

[stone ivy]

yall whats the best essence to use on a grey breach ring. if any

[wooden crane]

With spirit skill on secondary do i have to be holding the swap button for the skill to work

[daring dirge]

stupid question, but is there anyway to rename / renumber stash tabs?

[plush mantle]

still there, just really hard to see on the right side of the item window when you're looking at advanced info

[haughty niche]

only premium ones

[safe lance]

Mod tiers and item level are broken in consoles, hold L3 instead to see.

[daring dirge]

oh i see it, but why in the world aren't the default tabs 1-4...

[haughty niche]

upgrade to premium upgrades a seemingly random one

[daring dirge]

mine are 17-20 XD

[wooden crane]

Is something meant to be here

[haughty niche]

think that just drops a currency orb or rare item or some shit

[trim turret]

What do you mean on secondary?

[haughty niche]

maybe an uncut skillgem

[wooden crane]

Ah okay just felt very much like it was a entrace way especially with checkpoint near by

[wooden crane]

Your second weapon

[trim turret]

If you have a spirit skill only assigned to one weapon set, it will only be active when you are actively holding that weapon set.

[stable fulcrum]

Ok thanks @plush mantle

[safe lance]

or if you are on console it's a bug #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help message

[stable fulcrum]

Ooooh this must be it- I’m on PC but I’m playing on a ps5 controller

[daring dragon]

I looked into this further and as far as I can tell it seems they just switched out the functions of R3 and L3.

[plush mantle]

seems like less bug and more intentional change: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3696846/page/1#p25865906

[daring dragon]

It might be intended

[safe lance]

I will petition against this because the search function is L3 + dpad and you cant do L3 to view details if you have already searched for a text in your stash

[stable fulcrum]

Uggh why would they do this

[safe lance]

its basically unusable in that scenario

[stable fulcrum]

Okay well good know at least thanks everyone

[daring dragon]

Good point

[safe lance]

it was L3 in poe1 iirc but all the other keys were also different so it was ok, this has some issues. If I ever have the motivation to log into forums, I'll post this as an issue

[haughty jay]

hello everyone i would love for someone to help me understand whats wrong with my dmg output i guess i done something wrong or missing my dps is to low

[coral pebble]

are there any tips for pathing during the campaing?

[daring dragon]

What's your lvl and share a screenshot of your weapon. That would be crucial info.

[haughty jay]

if possible i can share my screen to you

[daring dragon]

Nope

[meager flower]

What is "consuming shock"? I just shock stuff and kill them in less than a second. Would this thing trigger?

[safe lance]

If you are looking to be extremely efficient and speedrun I think havoc616 who is a poe1 speedrunner had a video on youtube. If not I think there is a decent value in exploration in poe2 compared to poe1 idk

[haughty jay]

my level is 46

[meager flower]

Anyone on this please?

[daring dragon]

This looks decent for my rookie eyes but I don't play sorc tho so not sure. Anyway, now that you provided some info to work with a more experienced user might take a look.

[daring dragon]

Hover the consuming keyword

[haughty jay]

i guess problem is not my items its the skills

[daring dragon]

Possible yeah

[fierce panther]

there are abilities that can consume an effect to cause another effect

the sniper shot thing consumes armor break for example

[daring dragon]

You can also try the class specific channel in #1308715058716610580 @haughty jay

[haughty jay]

thank you very much mighty chicken

[meager flower]

Any crossbow skill or passive or node would consume shock?

[daring dragon]

Probably not I guess

[fierce panther]

shockchain arrow, is that a crossbow skill? I dunno

[cloud sage]

any guides? like ways to complete missions as we had in poe1 and build guides?

[trim turret]

Isn't that a regular bow skill?

[fierce panther]

I dunno, just one that came to mind

[trim turret]

It will say if it does.

[elfin lion]

Looking for help with first ascendancy trial

[river grove]

ngl using pob has helped me know what are the high level stat rolls

[cloud sage]

any guides? like ways to complete missions as we had in poe1 and build guides?

[late raft]

Every upgrade can be seen?

[haughty niche]

Should be. If noy use the link i sent

[arctic condor]

why doesnt this work?

[bright dagger]

I’m on console what loot filter should I follow/download?

[grim lantern]

how do I beat zalmarath, it's a bug fest

I just fell through the floor, teleported back up and died

[wooden lava]

i'm playing using poison concoction and it's hard to hit him reliably

[fierce panther]

have they said anything about fixing the terrible autotargeting?

[serene bay]

What is the maps stash tab for?
I can't put any maps in there...

[safe lance]

not yet

it says "coming soon" if you read the text

[wooden lava]

they implied in the patch notes that it will be fairly soon (probably)

[grim lantern]

yeah this too..random moments he just doesn't take hits

[narrow frigate]

would this be worth anything?

[late raft]

I'd pay a couple ex for it

In fact I will if you want

[narrow frigate]

sure! i have no use for it anyways

[late raft]

Word, if you find out it's worth more no worries lol. I'm at work for a couple hours tho

[narrow frigate]

sounds good

[bright dagger]

Why is the website showing my po1 character instead of my poe2 character?

[serene bay]

What is the maps stash tab for?
I can't put any maps in there...
only distilled emotions and splinters

[plush mantle]

character API for PoE2 isn't available yet (and your characters will likely be on the poe2 site when it is)

[bright dagger]

So are loot filters working for console atm?

[plush mantle]

yep

[bright dagger]

Can I dm you?

[crisp quarry]

Can I do something with blacksmiths whetstones? I'm a minion which and I have no use for them

*witch

[plush mantle]

"Clearing cache by launching another game or reinstalling should fix the issue in the meantime." is what GGG says if the filter isn't showing up. Can't really help beyond that as I don't play on console

[median eagle]

Does this mean its easier to or harder to freeze enemys

[fierce cloak]

is grenade merc good?

[wooden lava]

when you get to cruel, talk to the gambling npcs and you can trade them

[plush mantle]

solid build, not super amazing

[plush mantle]

means it's harder FOR YOU to be frozen 🙂

[median eagle]

so it doesnt affect your ability to freeze enemys then correct?

[crisp quarry]

@wooden lava ty

[plush mantle]

correct, will say something like "reduced freeze threshold on enemies" if it affected them

[dark yacht]

should i keep using my lower level gear just because its higher teir or should i be switching them out with the higher level blues im finding? or its all ab the stats always?

[serene bay]

What is the maps stash tab for?
I can't put any maps in there as it won't allow me.
What is that tab for, what can i actually stack in there?

[plush mantle]

all about the stats. Higher item levels on gear means they roll higher tier affixes

[dark yacht]

no shit

[plush mantle]

shouldn't have one, the map (waystone) tab doesn't exist in PoE2 yet

[dark yacht]

so a lv 10 blue could get higher number stats than a lv 4 gold it just gets less variety

and if so then is that better?

[median eagle]

Whats the expected level for finishing cruel act 3 if I f inish at level 70 about did I finish at under or at expected level

[fierce cloak]

are there non summoner witch builds that are good?

[meager flower]

Does anyone have any idea how to consume "Shock" with a crossbow or a crossbow skill?

[solar quest]

Any one down to help play campaign lvl 26 ign basssssssssss

[plush mantle]

if the blue has stats that you need, then yes. For example, getting more fire damage on an ice build doesn't really do much for you, even if it's a higher number

[plush mantle]

happens whenever you use an attack that consumes shock and the enemy has shock.

[dark yacht]

oh for sure, so i could use my orbs to change some of these higher level blues and could be better for my build than the golds im running

sorry

[median eagle]

@jaunty summit I saw that you cant hide it 👀

[meager flower]

yes but I just can't find any skills I can use as a gemling or simply crossbow skills that consume shock

[jaunty summit]

I posted the wrong video

[jaunty summit]

hold up i got the update in a few seconds

[plush mantle]

interesting point. You'd expect Shockburst Rounds to do so, but it doesn't

[jaunty summit]

500 hours in Path of Exile 2 and finally find my first Citadel and then this happens... https://youtu.be/He3HzL-pA10

[wooden lava]

maybe it's one of those coming soon skills that consumes shock 🤷‍♂️

[sour pebble]

Heavy stunning that boss at the same moment the wind channel begins or ends is what causes that

Bit unlucky timing but GGG knows about it

THought they even mentioned fixing it in the recent patch but guess not

[weary cloud]

pls tell me

[jaunty summit]

they fixed his "skirt" explosions

[weary cloud]

we get alot of gold drops

when we are in end game

so that I can respec

[jaunty summit]

but after 500 fucking hours of playing and thats my first one

fuk that shit

[weary cloud]

cause I feel i need to respec some attribute points

[sour pebble]

well it's way easier to find citadels now with the beacon system

you'll get more soon

that bug is horrible though and should've been fixed days ago. they gotta get on that.

they even know the cause, too, because they talked about the infinite breach boss hands bug which is the same bug

[fierce cloak]

grenade merc or grenade ranger?

[solid heron]

Im playing an Ice Sorc. and when i use my skills my health keeps going down can anyone help please

[elfin lion]

Anyone know what the yellow lightning spells I see some sorcerer's using are?

[next frost]

Damn near wasted a ton of exalteds for gear rolls and failed all of them lmao

Trying Wundijo build for my monk, do decent damage but still getting smoked

[sour pebble]

neither lol

[fierce cloak]

xD

[gloomy estuary]

Is there any way to fix this unexpected disconnection shit

[fierce cloak]

is witch only minion builds?

[next frost]

Chayula Monk, figuring out what to go with without divines

[sour pebble]

witch in campaign is best as minion builds

in the endgame there's more options like detonate dead bloodmage

[fierce cloak]

just super slow compared to other classes?

[sour pebble]

minion witch?

or grenades?

i think minion infernalists is one of the very best choices for beginners to PoE

[fading roost]

Rq, are vendors affected by magic find?

Gotcha

[safe lance]

Which exactly is considered the magic find mod btw?

[grim lantern]

I'm going insane against zalmarath what do I do if my attacks don't hit for minutes at a time

[safe lance]

There is rarity if items dropped which is an on kill effect and rarity of items found

[fading roost]

Both, but found counts toward chests, yes?

[safe lance]

Which one is this?

[grim lantern]

act 2

in titan grotto

[safe lance]

Oh the colossus. What build are you? Just hug him he has blind spots and you’ll be basically safe inside his left hand and just need to dodge the elbow attack

[grim lantern]

no the attacks are going through

you need to wait for him to move spots for them to register again, so I'm just here hitting nothing

[safe lance]

This boss has safe zones in almost every attack tho. I’m on mobile but let me see if I saved and clips on the PS app

Hmm they’re gone. Where exactly are you standing?

[grim lantern]

literally in front of him

[magic magnet]

Is there a threshold for accuracy, and if so how do we know when we're there? Or is more accuracy just better?

[grim lantern]

melee doesn't connect and my projectile phases through him lmao

[plush mantle]

they just changed his hitboxes in this patch, maybe they got it wrong

[humble karma]

that dude is buggy

i can come and help u

give me a sec to finish the map here... i u want help 😄

[grim lantern]

I left the game it's all good

[late raft]

You fall off the edge yet?

[safe lance]

he also has a lot of immune phases, like when he is channeling the ceiling crack thing etc. But just keep dumping damage on him and hugging.

And yea its pretty bugged visually

I've done him on various builds (Ranged/melee) and its same strat. Here is how close I hug him and sometimes it shows as if we are on top of him

[humble karma]

well note its early access

[tepid shore]

How do i get charges for charged staff

[supple osprey]

how do you get more support slots on a skill gem?

[grim lantern]

like

[next frost]

Any builds for a monk, 87, Less than 50 exalteds for gear to have decent survivability. Chayula*

[wooden lava]

@supple osprey use jeweler's orbs, there's three different tiers

[cloud rain]

I keep seeing stuff about Soulrend on wiki's and stuff...but its not in the game yet, right?

[median eagle]

I dont get it

[plush mantle]

yeah, Rending Staff isn't in the game yet

assuming that stays as a soulrend staff

[grim lantern]

buggy boss

[humble karma]

he was buggy even before the change lol

but that seems now even worst

[late raft]

There's a few ways

Lightning and siphoning strikes

Or combat frenzy with resonance

[narrow frigate]

who decided to make jamanra the tankiest thing in the universe with 4 trillion aoe attacks

[sour pebble]

that boss has 30% lightning resistance and i remember from earlier you were playing a lightning sorc

so conductivity curse will increase your dps by 43%

[brisk sundial]

ehm i have no clue what ive just found but its red is that good?

[sour pebble]

or just the lightning penetration nodes near sorc start are also good

[brisk sundial]

its a quarterstaff

[narrow frigate]

i dont have any cold spells besides frostbolt and its doing nothing and even with conductivity im literally doing like 1/8th of his hp before he starts nuking the arena

[sour pebble]

are you playing spark eugene?

[plush mantle]

you found a unique; called that because they have affixes that you can't get from other gear

[narrow frigate]

yeah

[sour pebble]

hmmm

with what support gems

[narrow frigate]

im using conductivity, slapping down 2 orb of storms, and letting the sparks fly

buddy doesnt wanna take damage lol

[sour pebble]

you bought one of those staves i linked with the trade search?

[narrow frigate]

yeah

[sour pebble]

wtf...

[sour pebble]

you using arcane tempo, persistence, and acceleration supports?

staff is good for act 3

stormweaver with arcane surge ascendancy point?

[narrow frigate]

pierce, arcane tempo, and inspiration so i can spam it

[sour pebble]

okay that's ur issue

take off pierce

take off inspiration

go persistence and acceleration

get arcane surge stormweaver ascendancy node

[narrow frigate]

hopfully i have support gens somewhere in my stash

[brisk sundial]

so silvanis is that a good staff or is it just like a garbage early game unique

im so clueless lmao

[plush mantle]

it's garbage unless you REALLY need fire resistance, which doesn't roll on weapons 🙂

[brisk sundial]

oki thanks

[plush mantle]

there are no quarterstaff fire skills, so there's not synergy with having a fire quarterstaff

[narrow frigate]

so spark now has persistence, arcane tempo, and acceleration on it

[sour pebble]

good

[dark yacht]

just made it to act 2 thanks for the helps

[sour pebble]

eugene your passive tree should looking something like this

[brisk sundial]

also i keep getting mana and life flasks but they are lesser or medium, i already got 1 of the eh 3rd grade one

do i still keep the others?

[sour pebble]

nope

[late raft]

No

Unless you want for alta

Or have a flask tab

[sour pebble]

im surprised neversink's filter doesn't hide those for you already

hmmm well it does say he has a flask progression system in. are you using filterblade filter?

[plush mantle]

yeah, if you're using filterblade, it hides medium flasks at area level 8 and greater at 15

[long condor]

im having trouble with the timing when dodging attacks with rolling. should i roll as the attack is happening, or right before it is about to hit me?

[narrow frigate]

cant get this guy under 33% hp im going insane lmao

[sour pebble]

are you using the passive tree i showed

[narrow frigate]

steamrolled all of act 2 and suddenly the last boss is a huge brick wall in front of the roadrunner

[narrow frigate]

had that exact skill tree

[sour pebble]

and you have the arcane surge node, right?

[plush mantle]

you should roll for the burst of speed to get out of the way and not to try to iframe the attack

[sour pebble]

for stormweaver

[sour pebble]

no no

you're missing so much dmg there

[long condor]

gotcha\

[sour pebble]

this is the way

those skill effect duration nodes are massive btw

due to how spark works

[narrow frigate]

ah im seeing what i missed

[sour pebble]

each cast of spark can hit a mob every 0.66s

so by having your spark projectiles last longer, it allows for more hits from one cast of spark

and projectile speed is also effectively a damage increase since it increases the chance a projectile will overlap the mob every 0.66s

[narrow frigate]

ah ok i see that now

[sour pebble]

and mana regen nodes are just good

it'll make long fights like act 3 boss way more comfortable

[plush mantle]

dodge roll is fast at the start of its movement, but slows down at the end, so it's the same overall speed as your normal movement speed. So don't spam it, but that initial boost may be what you need to get out of an attack. If you're in a big circle AoE, run normally towards the edge THEN roll if you need to

[sour pebble]

you dont need to cast conductivity anymore

since you have the penetration nodes and the boss only has 30% lightning resistance

[blazing mason]

How far into the campaign do I have to get through to reach lvl 25 about

[narrow frigate]

i did way more dmg yeah that was such an increase in overall dps

still got mopped by the dude but im starting to get it now

[plush mantle]

about 2/3rds through Act 2

[sour pebble]

your setup is solid, i think u got this

just keep trying

[narrow frigate]

is crit good to go for too?

[sour pebble]

not in campaign

[narrow frigate]

not sure where to go after the nodes you sent

[sour pebble]

i can show u

[haughty jay]

hello is there a sorc player who tried comet fiery skull build before ?

[cinder rover]

When do I get access to ascendancy?

[plush mantle]

act 2

[sour pebble]

oops dont take MoM

[cinder rover]

Around what level

[plush mantle]

22ish

[tiny scroll]

is there a limit to the amount of times you can portal out of a map in endgame?

[plush mantle]

6, also #2┃after-acts-help

technically 5, since you probably want to go back in 😉

[narrow frigate]

ok now he opened up portals to shoot stuff at me

is this guy coding new attacks on the fly to piss me off

[tiny scroll]

the heck why didn't they just call it endgame-help?! thanks for the reply

[weary osprey]

it's copied over from poe1 help channel names

[plush mantle]

that's his last trick 🙂

[tiny scroll]

it's kind of roundabout language

[plush mantle]

so is "endgame"

some PoE1 players would define endgame as what happens after T16 maps

[trim turret]

Because so much of the game in POE1 is after the campaign that you aren't considered to be endgame for a long while.

[narrow frigate]

He has been defeated 😭 🙏

so have i

[sour pebble]

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

[plush mantle]

I mean, that's pretty much what the PoE1 wiki says too https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Endgame

doesn't mean that the players are listening 😉

[haughty niche]

its not really like poe1 at all

besides the key point of "get points, spend on atlas tree"

[plush mantle]

which is why a lot of build guides use "mid-game" to cover the altas progression

[plush mantle]

context: this was about why #2┃after-acts-help isn't called poe2-endgame and where the boundary for endgame would be

[haughty niche]

oh. I was just referring to comparing the poewiki links

its completely different

[narrow frigate]

what would i get out of this if i dont get ascendance skill points

[haughty niche]

the chest rewards

[tepid shore]

Could anyone run me through the campaign on a new character

[haughty niche]

no

That would take like 15 hours

[plush mantle]

chests and relics, but probably not worth farming the low level ones. Getting to the 2nd floor improves both rewards, same for 3rd/4th. Maxing out honor resist with relics generally needs the 2nd floor's higher affixes on them (along with the slots you get for finishing floors)

Sekhema is the only place to get time-lost jewels, which I think only drop from the chests at the end

[humble karma]

can i allocate something on my amulet?

[azure lava]

Not til after the campaign

[humble karma]

is there a list? to see which are there?

[azure lava]

You can eventually put any notable you want on your amulet, but you don't get access to the means until after the campaign

[narrow frigate]

which of these works best with spark? I got 2 so im assuming lightning warp by default but what other spell works well here

[azure lava]

Why would you assume lightning warp?

[narrow frigate]

no clue just felt right

mana tempest makes more sense tho i think

[azure lava]

I'd read them carefully and maybe also check out the occult tab

If none of them seem good then I'd just save the gems or upgrade an existing skill

Higher tier skills are not guaranteed to be better than what you're currently using

Did you have a question? That seems like #2┃general content

[celest stump]

woops lmfao

[plush mantle]

the emotions you need will show up in the passive tree for a notable if you have acquired any emotion fron Delirium

[humble karma]

does that seem worth it?

20 feels kinda low xD

[azure lava]

We can't really tell you what things are worth without something to compare it to

[sour pebble]

sounds strong if you're blocking a lot and using ES

[azure lava]

And also the notables will have varying costs, so you'll be limited by what emotions you can get access to

[plush mantle]

lightning warp is fun, but hard to use. I find it hard to see the cull indicator when the screen is covered in lightning. Mana Tempest drains your mana VERY quickly so it's only good for a few casts. Haven't really been using it because of that

[sour pebble]

i haven't seen many block focused ES builds so far...

focuses are so strong for sorcs

[azure lava]

Foci*

[humble karma]

is there spell block or is it all the same now since i dont see any

[sour pebble]

i guess it'd be a infernalist thing

[azure lava]

Sorry, I just love knowing the plural of focus

[plush mantle]

all the same, block blocks hits that aren't AoE

[azure lava]

It's all the same. Block and evade both work for all projectiles and strikes

[sour pebble]

focuses is correct in my language

[azure lava]

The language of hollow knight?

[sour pebble]

american english accepts both pluralizations!

[humble karma]

hmm, thinking now svalinn and that thing but still i kinda have the feeling only 20 es per block isnt much

[azure lava]

I only speak Nunya

[humble karma]

especially when my es has 8k right now xD

[azure lava]

Yeah the more I look at that node the more I want whatever it is you're smoking that made you want to allocate it

[sour pebble]

it'd be great for ritual and breach imo

that stat was very good in poe 1

[humble karma]

well i am looking for something to replace aegis for me, since there isnt a aegis in poe2

[tribal goblet]

does anyone know what the chances are of orb of chancing for a astramentis or dream fragments

[humble karma]

is there maybe a other item that can give me ES on block?

[azure lava]

That's true I suppose. I feel like it would be way stronger on a build with a low amount of es and more investment into life, evasion, and whatever other defenses this game has

[light dagger]

i cant get to act3 chat, i cant find asala and im tripping out

[eager basin]

american english fucking sucks

[sour pebble]

https://poeladder.com/chance?ladderIdentifier=ssf_poe2_early_access&isPoe2=true

it's guesses

[azure lava]

What quest/zone are you on/in?

[humble karma]

at the end boss of act2

just tp back she waiting for u there

[sour pebble]

meanwhile the queen's english is the reason i have to type "u" for no reason in poe when using "armour"

[humble karma]

she disappeared on me too

[eager basin]

that's how you spell armour

[sour pebble]

only if you like wasting time on useless letters that don't change the pronunciation...

webster fixed english

[eager basin]

doubleplusgood

[brisk sundial]

Eh found this

sounds good but idk

[plush mantle]

would have to use strength but also use projectile and/or spells, and that just doesn't really fit into how PoE2 is designed

[hearty meadow]

are these decent?

to sell... not sure feel like osmeone wants those stats

[plush mantle]

well, the leech does nothing, the int is really low, and there's no inc ES on an ES base, so probably not?

unless you're selling to a warrior who's sad about armor and is trying to use ES gear

[hearty meadow]

gotcha

[late raft]

Not really

[frigid grove]

@azure lava do u know if the Enigma hideout works for poe2 before i buy?

[azure lava]

Wild that I got pinged for that

[plush mantle]

only hideouts that you can buy that work in PoE2 are the latest supporter pack ones: the dreadnaught and whatever the island one is called

[azure lava]

I have no clue mate

[plush mantle]

but you have the helpful tag, you must know everything! 😉

[azure lava]

Oh, this means helpful? I thought I was turning into the grinch

[plush mantle]

por que no los dos? 😉

[azure lava]

Idk if that poe was intentional or not (now I do) but I love it

[plush mantle]

the curse of touch typing, fingies don't agree with what I want them to say

also MAY have typed poe a lot more than por 🙂

[azure lava]

Nah, you? Unbelievable

[hearty meadow]

is there like an accurate list of seeing breakdown of currency ? like how many exs make a divine for exampel

[plush mantle]

only the currency exchange in game

that's as accurate as it gets since it's real-time

but we don't have a poe.ninja or other tracking site as far as I know

[hearty meadow]

ty

forgot that npc was a thing..

[humble karma]

can i see somewhere total rarity of items found'? "stat" how much i have

[sour pebble]

it's on a skill's details panel

at the bottom

[humble karma]

?

am i blind?

[sour pebble]

open up that menu

then beside a skill there is little arrow

i gotta open the game to screenshot, one sec

[haughty niche]

Its under the onkill effects in the skill's dps section

[hollow halo]

Is it possible to purchase Articifer orbs and other forms of currency on POE trade?

[haughty niche]

Trade site does have a bulk exchange section for that. But also theres a currency exchange market in game for that

[hollow halo]

Awesome thank you

[haughty niche]

Available in act 1 cruel onwards

[humble karma]

what does that mean now?

why is it red

missing dex?

[haughty niche]

You have only enough dex for 1 green support

Its like 5 per colour

So you have 3 green gems equipped out of the 1 you can have.

Get 10 more dex

[golden bay]

Does "Increased Projectile Damage" increase the dot from Essence Drain?
Or does Essence Drain have an initial hit - followed by a dot, and inc.proj.dmg only increases the initial hit?
When I spec/unspec a node -> the dps does go up, but the actual numbers (18-34) on the spell tooltip stay the same

[humble karma]

the hell is that dps 😄

[sour pebble]

ingenuity is a good belt

[sour pebble]

this is such a good question, im wondering too and checking

because the skill has the projectile tag

so theoretically the DoT component should have its damage increased...

[golden bay]

I'd guess that too

[sour pebble]

PoB thinks no though

oh it's that weird thing from poe 1 too

[eager basin]

Or does Essence Drain have an initial hit - followed by a dot, and inc.proj.dmg only increases the initial hit?

[sour pebble]

proj dmg only increases the initial hit yeah

it increases the hit component, not the DoT

[eager basin]

the dot has a line specifying modifiers to spell damage affect it

proj damage is not spell damage so yeah

[sour pebble]

there's weird shit like this in poe 1 too

[golden bay]

F my Essence Drain Raider

[sour pebble]

where like DoT spells won't get increased from sources of spell damage even though they're a spell that deals damage

unless the skill gem says they get damage from spell damage....

it's not consistent with the rest of the game

[eager basin]

isn't it? in poe1 I don't think any dot effects scale with modifiers to hit damage except where specified

if anything it seems a little odder in poe2 where ailment dots scale off all modifiers to the initial hit instead of just flat ones

[sour pebble]

what i mean is that for most "X% increased Y damage" sources, it's as easy as looking to see if Y is in the skill gems tag

like "10% increased area damage" just means it applies to anything with the "AoE" tag

but for whatever reason DoTs are this weird exception

[eager basin]

this is not true though

increased projectile damage modifiers will only affect the projectile portion of lightning strike or molten strike, for example, not the melee strike

same with your example of area damage, it only applies to actual area damage

[vapid cave]

should i use an alchemy orb before i get to maps? is it an expensive currancy?

[eager basin]

you can, it's not

[vapid cave]

ok cool

oh sick i got resists from that, worth

[edgy mauve]

I have two issues rn and idk how to fix them. but im trying to use charged staff. i have on combat frenzy and apparently its suppose to be able to let me use charged staff when i get the stacks but it wont let me. mana isnt stopping me and nother is the requirements. im using the correct weapon too. Secondly, idk if this is a bug or not. but i went and checked my auras. and you know how there shows I, II etc. in I both of my auras are able to be on but for some reason in II only 1 can be. my herald of ice says skill is not valid for this weapon set when im using a quarter staff

[eager basin]

combat frenzy grants frenzy charges, charged staff consumes power charges

[edgy mauve]

yeah but i am following a vuild from a respected player and they have that in the setup.

[eager basin]

well, either combat frenzy is in there for a different purpose or your "respected player" doesn't know what they're doing

because combat frenzy generates frenzy charges, and charged staff does not interact with those

[trim turret]

There's a keystone that makes you earn power charges instead of frenzies.

[eager basin]

or that

[solar roost]

ive been killing lvl 80 map boss mobs, why cant i get more than 4 levels on map boss atlas tree?

[eager basin]

are you following a build guide or just copying a build? because a guide should have told you that

[eager basin]

#2┃after-acts-help

[edgy mauve]

al; that is used in the stone section is profusion on combat frenzy

[eager basin]

my herald of ice says skill is not valid for this weapon set when im using a quarter staff
guess would be invalid support gem or weapon set skill points for something like herald spirit reservation

[edgy mauve]

so when you bring the menu up and it shows I, and then next to it II etc. in I everything is working perfectly fine. but in II it shows that issue

[eager basin]

so are the support gems in it valid for both weapon sets? what weapons do you have in set 1? do you have any weapon set points allocated on the tree?

I understand the question, you have not given enough information for me to do anything except guess

[edgy mauve]

idk what info you want im new lmao. never played poe before so the info im giving is the best

[edgy mauve]

im only using a quarter staff. but do have ig a staff on. so is weapon set two going off of the staff?

[eager basin]

[edgy mauve]

had it in there just for stats for a while

[eager basin]

weapon set 2 is your second weapon set

[edgy mauve]

and never had an issue

[trim turret]

Weapons don't give you stats if they aren't equipped.

[eager basin]

I'm not sure wtf kind of thought process leads you to wonder whether weapon set 2 will use the weapon in your second weapon set

[edgy mauve]

tbf as i said i never played poe. so i am not use to menus and what they mean yet.

so automatically trying to go down that route is just moronic on your end as this is new player campaign help

[edgy mauve]

can you tell me what stone would help me for the time being be able to use charged staff with combat frenzy

[trim turret]

The idea behind two weapon sets is to assign different skills to different weapons and auto swap when you use the skills. So a staff with fire bonuses and another with cold and swapping to the correct one when you use fire/cold skills.

[trim turret]

It's a keystone. A passive. One of the big ones. Can't remember what it's called.

[edgy mauve]

resonance i see it. yeah i am missing one level up for that. ty

[trim turret]

Why were you trying to weapon swap anyway if you have a staff which usually benefits spells and the monk mostly uses attacks?

[edgy mauve]

no i was just doing ice strike invoker but never playing the game i thought the weapon implicets and all that mighta have been similar to d4 where you did get the passives and stats from secondary weapons

[little prism]

Hi, I'm not sure if I would call myself a new player but I had a question about the Atlas; I just unlocked it for the first time a couple of days ago and I'm kinda lost on what I'm supposed to be aiming for with it.

Like, when you guys are planning your route in the Atlas, what do you look for? Do I just pick a path on a whim? Or is there something I should be looking for to help me decide which route to take?

Oh oops! I just noticed there's an After Acts channel, I'll ask there.

[sacred compass]

I usually just look for the content im interested in in my visible surroundings and then just pick whichever direction has the most visible towers next

[haughty jay]

oi if there is a stormweaver player here can i ask some questions i am waiting at poe 2 help 1

[vapid cave]

does this even matter?

neither seem to matter much rn but i know mana costs get wild

[rugged dome]

In act 1 cruel if u kill the boss who gave u spirit in act 1 normal, it have u spirit again or not??

[rugged dome]

Mana better

[sacred compass]

it doesnt, you get your next spirit in act3 cruel from the witch

[rugged dome]

sad

thanks

[sacred compass]

its not hugely impactful but its still free stats, if you use your mana flask, go with mana, otherwise go with the other stat

[little prism]

So, there's no right or wrong path, you just go to the node that interests you?

[sacred compass]

pretty much ye, its infinitely generating so youll find everything in every direction eventually. the citadels are (supposedly, i havent checked myself yet) more visible or you can see them earlier so that might also be a reason for going in certain directions

citadels, if you dont know, are for collecting keys to fight the pinacle atlas boss

[sturdy barn]

fast forward supp gem shortens the "Regen Duration" for clerics, what does that actually mean???

i.e. from 4s to 2.8s

[sacred compass]

it lowers the duration for their heal ability

[compact crypt]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/woolie-giants-blood

how does this build have 3 support gems in mace strike?

[sacred compass]

the weapon attacks get more sockets with higher ilvl weapons

[compact crypt]

ohh okay

[sturdy barn]

then it would be a downside right, coz i gather the regen countinues after they casted and they always carry on doing other stuff

or does it mean they are occupied with the healing a lower duration frees them to another action???

[royal wharf]

What's the difference between a level 4 grim feast and a level 8 grim feast ?

Is there any use to leveling up these skills ?

[sacred compass]

no i dont think they channel their heal, so the time it takes them to cast it is the same, it just stays up a shorter amount of time, so its a negative in that aspect yes

[sturdy barn]

more es restored?

[sacred compass]

there is almost always a use for lvling up gems, if you can fulfill the requirements for using it, then lvl it up

[royal wharf]

Oh, just saw it. Thanks

[eager basin]

I feel like it would be better advice to read what the level up does, because there are a number of skills which don't significantly benefit from most of their levels relative to the increased mana costs and attribute requirements on many builds

[sacred compass]

of course, in general its better to read and make an informed decision, but people asking in "new player help" for lvling their skill from lvl 4 to 8 dont really have to be overloaded with information, in general, in most cases a higher lvl skill does the stuff it does in a better way, you dont have to learn everything all at once 🙂

[little prism]

Ohh, it's infinitely generating? Gotcha, thank you 🩷

[eager basin]

I don't think asking people to read what numbers change when you level a skill is overloading them with information

[open nebula]

greetings! just joined, might lurk for a bit and learn stuff, then I'll have some questions 🙂

[neat spire]

guys im witchhunter playing grenades which of these to pick=?

most of my friends are taking attributes but idk

[sacred compass]

its not that high impact but i personally went with chaos res, but its pretty much one suffix of one piece of gear

if you NEED the attributes right now go with those

[long condor]

just did my first trial and used a portal to sell my stuff before getting an acendancy, do I need to re do the whole trial bc it wont let me back 😦

[sacred compass]

but in general its more a "nice little bonus" whichever you pick, wont really change anything in the end so just pick whatever you feel like

[neat spire]

is chaos a regular damage or smt? i cant tell weaht type of dmg im receiving

[sacred compass]

if you cant re-enter it through the big door then ye you gotta rerun it

[long condor]

no shot

[sacred compass]

chaos dmg is less common than elemental or physical but its usually more dangerous since chaos resistance on gear is a lot harder to get and in lower numbers compared to elemental resistances

[plush mantle]

if it's purple or bright green, it's chaos (or poison which is chaos over time)

[sacred compass]

ye pretty much

[sacred compass]

for the future, the trial has a stash at the end of each floor where you can store your items and empty out your inventory, you can then sell stuff after the trial is completed but this way you dont have to go to the next floor with a full inventory

[long condor]

ok thx

[real stirrup]

what the icons on boss names means? sometimes theres ice shining grey or red

[silk apex]

guys, is the simulacrum the hardest content

[sacred compass]

its the status of their resistances, if they have specifically high or low resistance for that dmg type, the symbols refer to the dmg types, usually one of the three elements

[real stirrup]

what about the colors?

[plush mantle]

red = weak to the element, grey = some resistance, yellow = very resistant

[real stirrup]

tysm

[wooden quail]

is the patch out yet?

[sacred compass]

0.1.1 is out yes

[wooden quail]

thanks dude

[open nebula]

On a level of 1 - suck, I can't beat the act 1 boss and I'm a level 17 Hunter. my Bow Shot does 200DPS and my SNIPE does about 290DPS. My strategy is mostly lay down Lightning Rods, maybe the zap ball thingy then fire a bunch of lightning arrows. great for mobs, 'okay' for boss. does that seem decent, and do I suck for not being able to beat the boss yet? heh

[plush mantle]

need some context from when you're asking. Yes, a patch came out this week, no a patch didn't come out today. Somewhere in the linear timey-wimeyness of our lives there has been a patch 🙂

[plush mantle]

just need more practice, pretty sure those damage numbers are sufficient

[open nebula]

ok, I'll keep at it. only tried the boss twice so far.

[plush mantle]

or "git gud" if you will 😉

[ancient dome]

is there anyone here selling 4th ascendancy boost? im lvl 21 willing to pay 60 ex

[edgy mauve]

go level higher if needed too. maybe try and add resistances for that boss etc

[open nebula]

I figure 1 more level up and it'll be much easier. I switched a lot of evasion % for projectile damage % recently

what I need is a Resist Death ring, heh

[plush mantle]

here you go 😉

[hardy sun]

Learning boss patterns makes a big difference, that's just experience. I forget dps numbers for act1 but I think you should have plenty of dps

[open nebula]

oooh nice rogue armour. I found some normal rogue armour, maybe I should chance turning it rare. only got 1 regal thingy at the moment though.

[plush mantle]

salvage rares you don't want for regal shards, not that you have a lot of those in act 1

[open nebula]

thanks. i'll clear the manor area a few times and save some up to salvage.

oh, also, just to confirm. I have my Scattershot support on my Lightning Rod. I thought I could have another scattershot on a different skill, but are you only allowed one specific support on 1 skill? can't make multiple Scattershots for multiple skills?

[long condor]

is invoker or AOC better for monk?

[hardy sun]

Nope, only 1 support scatter can be used

[haughty niche]

invoker by a mile, but chayula monk still solid

also depends what you want to do with them

[long condor]

i chose invoker

💪

[gilded kelp]

Yeah all 10 dudes that play chayula would have to agree.

[chilly geyser]

@gilded kelp lol

[gilded kelp]

[sullen dragon]

Can someone help me just kill the 2nd act final boss?

[chilly geyser]

Invite ING djdad

[sullen dragon]

Thank you Djdad 🤌🏽

[chilly geyser]

@sullen dragon Anytime

[sullen dragon]

Sorry can you come back I gotta be in a party with you to leave the area 😅

All good thanks haha

[crisp quarry]

I'm getting to cruel difficulty now, anything I should know or be aware of? Or just keep playing like normal

[hard cypress]

Like normal

But everything dies very fast

You can always go back to previous three "normal" acts area

[crisp quarry]

No resistance penalty? Weird

[haughty niche]

still penalty pretty sure

[hard cypress]

You do get those

[haughty niche]

for each act

[hard cypress]

So ya maky sure to redo the skull+ bosses

[haughty niche]

But the balance is kinda wack in cruel onwards. You oustacale enemies damage-wise pretty fast. So once you hit cruel, you can kind of just start steamrolling the rest of campaign

[stark bear]

how do the support skills work with crossbow shot? since crossbow shot, in your hotbar, is changed to whatever skill/ammo is loaded, and isn't itself an attack?

[hard cypress]

It feels almost like a victory lap ngl

[daring dragon]

Crossbow shot isn't getting changed

It's just your basic shot type

[stark bear]

nm i'm dumb, it would apply to your basic bolt attack i guess, right

[daring dragon]

Exactly

[stark bear]

ok that makes sense, thanks

[hardy sun]

I just started a merc xbow, it's kinda fun so far, using the unique xbow as I level

[stark bear]

i really like the ammo change concept. it's different, but fun

[hardy sun]

Yeah, seems cool. I'm not used to the reload delay, that awkward moment of coming to a pack of mobs, reloading...

[stark bear]

double barrel to give frag rounds a 2nd shot seems pretty vital

[bitter fulcrum]

I’m am having a couch coop issue with the temple of chaos. Player 2 can’t do it, it keeps saying “you have to be the map owner”. But when we tried to do it together neither player could do the map. Player 1 could do it by themselves though.

[hardy sun]

The unique xbow I'm using has 100% chance to not use bolt for a short time after reloading. It's fun to spam 6-8 shots before reloading. Gonna be tough when I have to stop using it

[stark bear]

nice

[open nebula]

heck yeah, just found a 2-socket Rogue Armour! normal, not magic, but great potential!

[vapid cave]

can you portal out and back in in the middle of a trial or no

[hardy sun]

I like to salvage those, keep grinding and you'll find a yellow rare eventually. Using runes isn't super critical for armor at low levels. The main weapon is big though, slotting in some flat damage runes, if you have some

[hearty tundra]

is count geonor supposed to take a long time to kill? i've been progressing at a reasonable pace and he seems like a wall

[daring dragon]

Sekhemas yes, between the different rooms. Chaos, no.

[hearty tundra]

should i grind for levels and gear?

[daring dragon]

That's not necessary and should only be a last effort.

[hearty tundra]

i figured, but its taking me a long long time to kill him

[jolly osprey]

Guys, can you recommend which skill and unique items are the easiest to use for leveling a twink? Are there any overpowered combinations?

[hardy sun]

End of act bosses are much more difficult than everything before, takes time to learn boss mechanics if you don't have massive dps

[bitter fulcrum]

You could probably upgrade gear though. Make sure all your stuff is magic or better.

[daring dragon]

Most likley a gear/build issue. Hard to pinpoint without more info. Look here for some guidance https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

[bitter fulcrum]

It took us forever too though.

[hearty tundra]

its becoming a scenario where im cycling through his rotations a few times

[hearty tundra]

thenkss

[hardy sun]

Quill bow is really fun, should be able to get you to 30s range pretty easily

[daring dragon]

Some cold resistance helps as well. From a charm for example.

[stark bear]

there were a couple bosses i had trouble with where i went to replace 1 or 2 old pieces of gear and it helped. it's less "you need gear" to beat the boss, and more just a little bit of help can mean the dif between you dying at boss 10% HP, vs winning. but still comes down to learning the fight

[hearty tundra]

yhep

[vapid cave]

...did you lie to me becuase i cant interact with my portal back now?

[low glacier]

I defeated the boss for Earning Passage but I'm not getting another quest. Is this a bug?

[daring dragon]

No I didn't. It should be possible to teleport out of sekhemas and back in.

[hardy sun]

Yes, it took me a few cycles, going into fog mode, trash mobs, repeat

[vapid cave]

well my portal doesn't work back so...

[low glacier]

Can anyone help??

[daring dragon]

Try this

Go to the trials again via waypoint

Then go in

[daring dragon]

With??

[hardy sun]

That beginning of act2? You just talk to the lady and get on the caravan

[vapid cave]

welp i got back to my spot but not back to the room that still had loot in it...

wonderful...

the whole point of wanting to portal back in...

[low glacier]

What do you think I tried before asking here?

[daring dragon]

For the future, there is a stash inside the reward room.

No need to leave to empty your inventory.

[hearty tundra]

do you think monk is a good class for beginners?

[vapid cave]

at the very end? not helpful.

[hardy sun]

I don't like melee, range is a bit easier, personal opinion though

[hearty tundra]

yeah

[vapid cave]

i need a stash in between trial rooms...

[hearty tundra]

had a pretty smooth experience playing witch in poe1

[hardy sun]

If it's not end boss, you will have to give up some loot. Bringing some scrolls to identify stuff helps

Otherwise, I do leave if my inventory space is low, go out, dump tab, go back in

[vapid cave]

yeah kinda sad, i needed the gold from selling magic items atm becuase my boots are ass

ive spend over 12K on boots with nothing to show for it, with 1 costing 1700 now

[sudden jasper]

ok i got a question, i got Poisonous Concoction from the ascendancy and want to add rune sockets to it but since it is not a skill gem i cant take it out and just put the orb on, what do i do?

[hardy sun]

You level up

[low glacier]

Can anyone help?

Am I bugged? Am I missing something?

[sudden jasper]

ahhh ok any idea at which levels you get more sockets?

[hardy sun]

Conc gets more slots as you level

[hardy sun]

30, 65, 90 i think are the levels

[vapid cave]

what happens if i have keys but the reward room doesnt have a chest i wanna spend on?

[sudden jasper]

alright thx

[vapid cave]

because my gold choice is 2 bad chests

[daring dragon]

Safe the key for the next reward room

[low glacier]

I defeated the boss for Earning Passage but I'm not getting another quest when I speak to Zarka. Is this a bug?

[open nebula]

i love the music inside the manor, I could play this area forever.

[vapid cave]

oh you can save them? okay

[low glacier]

Can anyone help???

[hardy sun]

Keep going until end boss, if not, there's nothing else

[vapid cave]

wait is the reward room not always at the end

im on the trial to unlock ascendancy and just got it

[low glacier]

I defeated the boss for Earning Passage but I'm not getting another quest when I speak to Zarka. Is this a bug?

Can anyone help???

[hardy sun]

Depends how many levels you are doing, reward room is always after end boss. Don't know if you doing only 1st level or more

4 levels total for sekhema

[shut abyss]

1(floor/boss) for the first ascendancy

[low glacier]

I defeated the boss for Earning Passage but I'm not getting another quest when I speak to Zarka. Is this a bug?

[daring dragon]

There is no need to spam...

[sacred compass]

for the trial of sekhema you get a "reward room" at the end of every floor after the floor boss fight

[vapid cave]

im at the quest for unlocking ascendancy, there is a portal out at the first reward

[sacred compass]

do you have another quest still active? if so follow that one

[sacred compass]

there is also a portal to leave the trial at the end of every floor even if you can go deeper

[hardy sun]

Yeah, if it's 1st ascendency, that's the final spot, spend all your keys and water

[vapid cave]

damn ok

[shut abyss]

there's a door on the right that you go trough on higher difficulty trials but it should be locked now

[low glacier]

The quest is Earning Passage. I defeated Rath but I'm not getting another quest when I speak to Zarka

[shut abyss]

what does your quest log say

[hardy sun]

You'll do more of those, You'll hate it for a bit, need honour resist when you do multiple levels/floors

[hard cypress]

There should be an entrance right next to her

Go through the passage you have earned

[low glacier]

There isn't

[low glacier]

Find the Hyenic Raiders and destroy them

[sacred compass]

What does your quest tell you to do? not just the name but the objective

well then go do that

[vapid cave]

is honor resist jsut a modifier i can get on relics im guessing?

[daring dragon]

Well then do that

[shut abyss]

i think he already did

[low glacier]

Can you read? I just told you I did that lmao

[sacred compass]

correct, honour resist and %inc max honour make the trial a lot more comfy

[daring dragon]

Make a new instance and do so again

[sacred compass]

i read that but if your quest still tells you to do that you have to do it again, if its bugged or you made a mistake is impossible for us to say

but you cant just "tell the game" you already did it

if the game tells you "do that" you kinda gotta do that to progress

nothing we can change

[burnt river]

My warrior keeps missing hits, like I'll use boneshatter or mace strike and nothing happens. Is that because of low accuracy or is it some early access jank?

[sacred compass]

low accuracy

the game isnt that janky that you miss bc of coding errors or something

if you miss you actually miss ingame bc of low stats

you can try the "resolute technique" keystone, its really nice for lvling if you can get there without investing too many points

[shut abyss]

well there was a patch for boneshatter to connect bettter because it was that janky 😄

[sacred compass]

or just get some dexterity for stats instead of strength, that gives you accuracy too

[burnt river]

ahh okay thanks :)

[hardy sun]

Yes, aim for the 75% cap, through various relics

[daring night]

Open the skill details panel and it should show your chance to hit monsters based on your accuracy

[low glacier]

Reset my instance and nothing. I still have the Mad Wolf of Ogham quest despite speaking to the Hooded One and traveling east

What is going on?

[ancient walrus]

can some1 explain the 150% increase to energy shield and armor to me pls? does it only increase the stat of energy shield and armor from that item and not my energy shield bar?

[low glacier]

It won't even allow me to reset my instance in Act 2

Is this a bug??

[shut abyss]

you should be able to so either you're doing something wrong or it's a bug

[swift rapids]

is the respec bugged?

im trying to respec skills but its not working

[shut abyss]

it's abit janky at times

[hardy sun]

Yes, if it's on armor, it affects just the armor

[ancient walrus]

ty

[daring dragon]

What exactly isn't working?

Always try to be as specific as possible.

[swift rapids]

i had it used without resonance and when i tried to get it back with resonance it was not working , like the changes would apply but when i entered a map they would revert

[shut abyss]

sounds about right, why it does that? i dont know

[cobalt dock]

what does 'Allocates X' do on a piece of gear, is it a negative?

[hardy sun]

Usually means you get a buff or perk

It's probably a skill of some kind

[dry stone]

how too find aggorat? i have different map from some website. i need to solve sacifitial heart quest but i cant find where to travel to solve it.

[crisp quarry]

Why would I want to Upgrade this? It doesn't show anything besides increasing the level requirement

[cobalt dock]

cheers, is there a downside?

i've noticed some gear on the Trade website not selling when it has the Allocate X trait

[hardy sun]

Are you on apex of filth? You just have to keep going with story, aggorat is a couple zones further ahead

[hardy sun]

It depends what gear, some people look for a specific mod or trait

[pulsar spruce]

There are some spirit gems that don't benefit from leveling the gem. That's why you see some people buy lower level spirit gems. 😎

[crisp quarry]

Ahh ok, I swear I've been trying to read more I couldn't see anything!

[pulsar spruce]

Increasing the quality should still help though. Looks for Gem cutters prisms.

[dry stone]

i think i solved it already,i killed all bosses and pullet some leverage how to call it and it just opened map like i finished it, nothing to kill anymore and nowhere to go in apex oof filth

[stark bear]

yay finished act 1 with mercenary. i just gotta get sorceress through act 1 and i'll have gotten every class up to act 2. my highest char hasn't even finished act 2 yet, i've been having so much fun trying the other ones lol

[crisp quarry]

Should help what?

[pulsar spruce]

Damage, or maybe number of spirits. I'm not sure what quality does on that skill.

Ahh yeah. You can have 1 more spirit summoned.

But you'll most likely need 4 gem cutters prisms for that to take effect.

[crisp quarry]

I don't see that how are you seeing that

Some of them only show up online unfortunately.

[crisp quarry]

😦

[hardy sun]

Hold Alt

[pulsar spruce]

Says he's PlayStation.

[hardy sun]

Good luck then

[daring dragon]

Try L3 or R3

[crisp quarry]

Nope

[shut abyss]

it's the "highlight items and objects" button

[tacit solar]

is this the channel that'll help with purchasing the poe 2 early access pack? I was about to buy it but I learned that its a whole process rather than simply buying it

[hearty tundra]

i found this helmet on my new character

unique items are crazy right?

[daring dragon]

Entirely depends in the exact unique

[shut abyss]

uniques are well..unique

[daring dragon]

There are many bad ones

[hearty tundra]

fair fair

oh wait bruh

its a dex item and im on sorceress oof

[shut abyss]

depends how horrible your current helmet on you might use it for the armour and rarity until you find basically anything sorc related D:

[crisp quarry]

@shut abyss still no, I'll just use the website it's fine

[open nebula]

yeah my first unique, I thought, "COOL!" but then realized it was kinda crap.

[pulsar spruce]

Theres no better feeling that your first unique drop

[shut abyss]

first divine drop

[pulsar spruce]

Oh. Maybe you're right.

Lol

I almost cried at mine

[open nebula]

I'm level 18 ranger and still using a level 6 bow because it's rare and just has kickass stats that I haven't found anything else better yet!

[hearty tundra]

truuuee

looks cool though

getting my first unique

[stark lynx]

Uniques often are worse than semi decent rare, but have that X factor that makes them unique, if that speciality isnt beneficial for you then the item probably isnt good for you

And some are just strong for their respective lvl requirement

[stark lynx]

Shouldnt take too long with bases going up in dmg to beat it with even half decent mods

[crisp quarry]

What item do I get to add another support gem for skeletal warrior minion? I tried the lesser jewels orb and that doesn't work

[daring dragon]

If it's from a weapon then you need a weapon with a higher lvl

And skills from your ascendancy get more slots with a higher character lvl.

[hardy sun]

3 types of jewelers, lesser, greater, perfect

[daring dragon]

Or you tried to apply the wrong orb yeah

[stark bear]

me: sigh i need a better staff before i finish act 1. i guess i'll waste a ton of money trying to roll one.
first try:

[stark lynx]

If its skele from gem, you should be able to jeweller it

Uuh... I dont even dare to ask what your old one was

[plush mantle]

old one was probably magical 🙂

[hardy sun]

I used something trashy for awhile, had +1 spells, around level 30s I had a +3 which I'm still using at 66

[crisp quarry]

Okay I'm at the currency exchange I'm going to see if I can get a greater jewelers orb, I'm not sure how this works but I will figure it out

[plush mantle]

greater orb in the I Want section, exalts in the I Have section, see what it offers

[crisp quarry]

Why exalts?

[plush mantle]

because people will have listed them in exalts for the most part

[hardy sun]

That's main currency for this game

[crisp quarry]

It says 1: 18.67 🤷🏻‍♂️

[plush mantle]

so 19 ex for a greater jeweler

[hardy sun]

That's decent from what I recall

[plush mantle]

or 18 if you're willing to wait for the order to fill

[crisp quarry]

I have 4 😭

[hardy sun]

I think the price has come down, I don't keep up with prices though

Don't stress that 5th link, probably not critical for where you're at

Maybe when you finish campaign and do maps, 5th link might be more appropriate. You'll have more currency by then

[plush mantle]

probably should get used to calling them sockets, not links. The UI makes no sense for "links"

[hardy sun]

Old habits, i guess for poe2 it's 3rd, 4th, 5th socket

[plush mantle]

yeah, old PoE1 habits die hard 🙂 But it's not even linking, it's socketing. We just didn't care to refer to sockets because it was so easy, it was the links that stopped us

[rocky coyote]

what are good support gems for Fragmentation Rounds and Explosive Shot?

[plush mantle]

no clue past the suggested ones, haven't used a crossbow yet

[crisp quarry]

This is going to feel like a stupid question but the currency exchange is player-based right?

[plush mantle]

yes, it's player to player trading, just async and hands off

[crisp quarry]

That would be nice if that could be done for items instead of the whole inviting to hide out whispers etc

[plush mantle]

it's been 10 years to get this much 😉

[crisp quarry]

😮

I apologize for my outburst

[plush mantle]

GGG is VERY resistant to adding an auction house style system for everything

[crisp quarry]

I mean that could be cool too but I don't get why they don't want it so I l can just buy it from someone like they are an NPC

[plush mantle]

because they're believers in the social interaction

[crisp quarry]

🙄

I guess

[scenic salmon]

It's dumb
But I saw a new players review and there are about 100 archaic design choices

[crisp quarry]

Without trading it seems almost impossible to get the right rolls for everything and gambling gets pretty expensive, I finished the first three acts with sub 75 res, roughly 50 each

[plush mantle]

did better than I have there 🙂

[haughty niche]

you dont need the right rolls on everything

[plush mantle]

I'm usually at like 30% each by cruel and maybe 50% by end of campaign

[crisp quarry]

I sacrificed basically all of my runes for it and could have had better life/damage etc but noooo I just had to listen to rax lol

[jaunty linden]

So i just finished act one I'm stuck on rathbreaker is there a trick with him I've tried him 10 times now everything i do just doesn't work

[crisp quarry]

The penalty is rough but it makes sense, keep getting new stuff and engage with the game features

[plush mantle]

fight him where he's standing, lets you avoid the spears and you don't get random arrows

[scenic salmon]

Grind equipment by murdering the act1 boss again

[plush mantle]

he always does two of those ground line attacks before he does the big damaging one

[vital inlet]

anyone running a new charcter?

[daring dragon]

#2┃looking-for-group

[vital inlet]

lol this is also new chacter help my guy chill

[daring dragon]

It's more of a question/help channel. I'm chill, I merely pointed you to your best option.

Good luck exile

[vital inlet]

ok i took as go only there my bad, Good luck hopefully you get many divines

[stoic tusk]

guys if i buy map stash tab on poe1 store will it become waystones tab for poe2?

whenever that comes out

logically it should

[daring dragon]

Eventually but not now

[haughty niche]

It should. But I don't know for sure. They are funcitonally identical so if they tried to make a separate tab for it they would come off as pretty scummy

[daring dragon]

No map stash available right now at all.

[stoic tusk]

couldnt they pull off smthn like making a new tab for MTX just for poe2? lmao

have they ever done something like that in the past for poe1?

[daring dragon]

I'd guess there is a possibility

There is no need to buy one now in poe, so probably better to wait.

Better be safe than sorry

[sacred compass]

you have a menu where you can see all your MTX, its not in your stash but its pretty much the same thing

[stoic tusk]

yea will do, ty guys for the help

hf ingame!

[steady stratus]

Is this a bug? I’ve killed this boss twice but it still doesn’t mark it complete

[daring dragon]

Did you use the quest item she dropped?

Make sure you didn't put it into your stash and forgot about it.

[steady stratus]

Yeah it gave me some spirit

+40 I think

[daring dragon]

Then it should be complete. Might be a bug. But if you got the quest item then you can just ignore the icon.

[steady stratus]

Aight

[tropic scroll]

how u complete this quest ??

[haughty niche]

in cruel difficulty? its not supposed to show in cruel. Just ignore it

[mental horizon]

It’s kinda dumb question but there’s someone that can help me fast run act1/2?

[daring dragon]

#2┃looking-for-group

[tropic scroll]

oic

[daring dragon]

Or alternatively buy a carry on the forbidden trove discord if you want.

[harsh gate]

Hi, I have a question about copying item info. Right now ctrl+c on an item gives something like in the image but is there a way to copy more data from the item? like when you press alt with your mouse on the item you can see the tier of the affix and on trade website you can even see the tier name

[keen fox]

i died in my trials of sekheman

t_t

i just had to lag

[scenic salmon]

No but with PoB I think you might be able to check with that

[plush mantle]

could swear there was a way to do that in PoE1, but I don't remember what modifier keys were used and can't get it to work in PoE2

[keen fox]

trial coins are random drop guys?

[plush mantle]

also, if you're using mouse, you can highlight the tier modifiers in the item window to get thier name and tags

[civic sandal]

I just got a room in the Sekhemas trials where I'm supposed to kill rare monsters... two spawned right on top of each other, one healed and one spawned lightning storms. I'm a lvl 21 monk... am I supposed to just die and try again? What kind of dogshit mechanic is that?

[daring dragon]

Yes

[daring dragon]

Just bad luck

[harsh gate]

Thx, but I really need to get the info with ctrl+c voor something im building 😦

[keen fox]

sadge xD

[civic sandal]

What do you mean? How is that even a fucking possible rng monster combo for a lvl 20 dungeon trial?

I couldn't do any damage at all

Melee monster healed, and I couldn't attack it because the ranged monster summoned lightning on top of the melee

[daring dragon]

I mean what I said. The rares spawning with this specific combination of mods was bad luck.

[shut abyss]

also lack of damage but not much you can do about that at level 21 that either try again or come back later

[scenic salmon]

Temporary invulnerability and proximal tangibility

[civic sandal]

Idk, new to this type of game and that just seems like shit design

Creating an impossible scenario unless you have God damage at lvl 21

[shut abyss]

or you pissed off the rng gods

[civic sandal]

Those two monsters being nxt to each other shouldn't be an option at all

Rng shouldn't factor into a trial designed to test skill of a player

[daring dragon]

If you aren't up for rng then arpgs might not be your thing.

There isn't much else to say here.

Treat it as a learning experience and try again.

[cursive bluff]

Yeah prettyuch most things in the game are rng based

[civic sandal]

I am trying again. I'm allowed to be pissed at horrible level design

It's easy to code it so those two monsters can't be in within a certain proximity of each other

They chose to leave it to RNG for the select few players who have horrible fucking luck

[cursive bluff]

Luck is a man made concept to cope it doesn't actually exist just go do campaign more and come back at a little higher level this channel isn't the rant channel

[shut abyss]

also you're underleveled for it

[tall abyss]

anyone know when the next stash tab sale is?

[cursive bluff]

You can look on poe2db

[tall abyss]

ty

[jaunty linden]

Does anyone know why It's saying i dont have the required quest state and can't respawn when I die

[sacred agate]

Isnt level 21 quite low for 1st ascendancy?

[plush mantle]

seems to be a bug with the first zone of Act 2

[sacred agate]

Isnt it more like 25+?

[jaunty linden]

@plush mantle do you know a work around or is there not one

[plush mantle]

Traitor's Passage is level 19, so you could do it at level 21. I think most of us waited though

[sacred agate]

• the sekmas trial is cancer most people wait and do Chaos instead

[shut abyss]

i did it around 30 on my first toon(monk)

[plush mantle]

if you've killed Rath, then I've heard leaving the act via waypoint and then coming back in can fix it, but you need to reload your quest state, so you have to leave Act 2 entirely

[sacred agate]

Also monk suffers early on when levelling

[mental atlas]

how is someone sitting on 600+ attributes total, while i am stuggling to go over 300, both without astramentis?

[cursive bluff]

And warrior XD

[cursive bluff]

Attribute stacking

[mental atlas]

how does that even work

[sacred agate]

Use lots of travel nodes

in passive tree

[plush mantle]

the star at the bottom of the passive tree helps

[cursive bluff]

Yeah you just go for any gear that can get + all attributes and then focus all attributes in the passive tree

[amber crypt]

which one is better?

[sacred agate]

The one that gives you most damage when you look on your skills :<

[plush mantle]

that would be the easy way to tell 🙂

[shut abyss]

probly the left one

[amber crypt]

thats a good way to tell

thank u

[cursive bluff]

I don't think they can they don't have the gold to buy the right side one lol

[amber crypt]

i do

[cursive bluff]

You didn't in pic lol

[amber crypt]

just gotta sell the shit stuff i have

[cursive bluff]

So everything then XD

[amber crypt]

not everything but

i have alot of things that give 1k+

[sacred agate]

If you need gold just tell me

[plush mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-gamora-what-did-it-cost-everything-gif-21564640

[sacred agate]

I have a bunch of rares you can sell

[amber crypt]

haha

[scarlet heart]

do stats directly affect damage at all? or are they just prerequisites to using stronger things?

[sacred agate]

Nope

STR/INT/DEX does not give damage

By itself.

[scarlet heart]

ok thought so

[plush mantle]

you mean attibutes? then no, although dex gives accuracy and missed attacks do no damage 🙂

[scarlet heart]

i saw a node that gives

[rare abyss]

Hello, I've finished the campaign and I have this resistances. Is this the normal, or did I miss some quest?

[cursive bluff]

strength gives life

[cursive bluff]

every new act you lose 10% ele resistences

[scarlet heart]

okok good, theres a node that gives my dex to my minions and i was wondering what that would do

[cursive bluff]

part of the game

[plush mantle]

looks like you missed the statues in Act 2 that give lightning res

both versions of Act 2

[scenic salmon]

You get 20 resistance of each element what did you do

[rare abyss]

Do you remember where / what quest? @plush mantle

[hardy sun]

There should be a lightning one, i thought twin sisters? Act 2

[scarlet heart]

does anything else give anything else? like int?

[rare abyss]

ah the towers... thingy

thank you

[cursive bluff]

im a bonk warrior withno int so im too dumb to know haha

[daring dragon]

Yes. Go into your character sheet and hover the attributes.

[plush mantle]

Spires of Deshar

[scarlet heart]

i didnt know this existed, thanks

[scenic salmon]

Can I change my vial choice? I have become CI

[cursive bluff]

go throught every acts map and look at all the white icons that have the +symbol on it gives you a permenant buff somehow

[daring dragon]

Not yet

[plush mantle]

nope, at least not yet

[scenic salmon]

Sad days...

[plush mantle]

Mark wants to make it a changable option, but no telling when that'll happen

[cursive bluff]

anything that has a dotted line under it you can hold alt to get a brief explanation

[plush mantle]

that one is nearly impossible to see on the map

VERY easy to miss

[cursive bluff]

they may have missed more i was telling them as a generic all encompassing advice

[plush mantle]

fair enough

[cursive bluff]

i could have also added some dont go grey even after you got it lol

[plush mantle]

yeah, Bog Witch is stubborn and refused to admit she died 🙂

[cursive bluff]

but quicker to let them find that out at a later date haha

ignaduk is the one i dont like

i dont understand her bone bike phase lol

never died to her just a time sink till she crashes

[plush mantle]

I want to know if blocking her will knock her off her ride

[cursive bluff]

not with our small statures i dont think lol

a warrior gets pinballed when using stampede

[coarse mortar]

if i take this with currently 0 life leach, will I have 10 lifeleach ?

[cursive bluff]

no

you need some form of leech to start

[plush mantle]

no, 10% increased of 0 is still 0

[short spear]

uh can anybody help me with my build

[coarse mortar]

oh damn

[cursive bluff]

#1308715058716610580

[ionic walrus]

Why are hands of action and wisdom so damn expensive compared to other pieces of gear

[plush mantle]

current meta

also a boss only drop, so harder to get
