[brazen osprey]

What's the skill name to summon weapon? I wanna try that skill that controls weapons without limits

[trim turret]

You talking about animate weapon? Which isn't in POE2 yet?

[sudden stump]

For item granted skills such as chaos bolt, what determines the # of support sockets? are there known breakpoints of whatever that thing may be?

[brazen osprey]

I just realized i was in wrong channel

[brazen osprey]

Glad to know and bye

[daring dragon]

Weapon lvl

[trim turret]

Think it's item level.

[sudden stump]

Thank you both, are breakpoints known?

[grim mountain]

is there a way to dodge the ketzuli attack when he puts his arms infront of him and it melts ur shield and hp?

[vast nexus]

dont rlly know what skill to get, monk act 2 (alr got tempest bell & tempest flurry etc)

[shut abyss]

try some maybe you'll find something cool

[grim mountain]

it was a skill issue nvm

[normal ibex]

i put my first level 7 skill gem into the ranged storm wave skill

[stone idol]

How is this a new game released in 2024 and we don't have a button to reset all the passive skills instead of 1 by 1? The UX Chief of this game is definitely something

[steady magnet]

If u die during a trial do u have to exit out of the game to go back? It doesn't let me do anything. Is it a bug or something

[halcyon olive]

I can't revive?

[normal ibex]

GGG hates players who like to respec 😦

[shut abyss]

i'd be happy that you CAN respec and extra happy that it's basically free

[shut abyss]

bug, relog i thinks works

[shut abyss]

should be able to just respawn

[normal ibex]

bug in new patch, you have to exit game

[daring dragon]

Known bug on console

[normal ibex]

no, because its not nearly free by any stretch

[daring dragon]

It is in the long run.

[wraith shadow]

does anyone else have problems with huge random lag spikes

[normal ibex]

ahh so get fucked if you arent a rich endgamner, got it

[daring dragon]

Exactly

[shut abyss]

well yeah during first campaign playtrough it's expensive

[daring dragon]

Jokes aside, it's rly not that expensive.

I did a full respec after cruel campaign and had no issue affording it.

[normal ibex]

it punishes experimentation

[daring dragon]

And I was new to poe2 as well and never played poe.

[normal ibex]

rewards braindead build guide followers

[timid crescent]

Hello guys, please tell me how i can to open a canal hideout?

[shut abyss]

in poe1 it's like 1exalt per skill point or something stupid like that

[daring dragon]

Find a canal hideout map and clear it. Also #2┃after-acts-help

[normal ibex]

ive yet to see any discussion on how respeccing is bad apart from simphards who seem to get all buthurt when you even bring it up

[daring dragon]

It gives meaning to your choices.

[normal ibex]

nah

it forces people to follow buildgudes

[daring dragon]

Who exactly forces you?

Nvm, let's just move on.

[meager flower]

Are there any chances to set a tradition of blocking sellers that do not reply to their queries? But the items are definitelly there and they are not marked as AFK, but they do not bother replying.

[eager basin]

no, because everyone does this

[shut abyss]

might be doing maps or trials or market manipulation

[meager flower]

It's GGG's fault for not being remotelly competent to have an auction house in the fucking decade they have been developing path of exile

[frosty light]

Why does this common belt show up like this?

[ember jasper]

Its fairly cheap, during the campaign it costs little to nothing + gold is shared across all characters so you can load up on gold on an endgame char to experiment limitlessly

[daring dragon]

If this happens repeatedly it's usually one of two things. The item is underpriced or the seller doesn't wants to bother to leave map for 1 ex for example.

[normal ibex]

i like the idea of beinmg able to block traders, but that does seem to be a petty reason tbh

[ember jasper]

you can also run maps more gold mods

[daring dragon]

Chance orb can make it a headhunter.

[frosty light]

so it could be worth saving?

[eager basin]

design choice

[ember jasper]

They want friction so economy crashes later

[shut abyss]

chance it and maybe get rich

[eager basin]

I was under the impression they were considering a full fledged auction house for poe2

[frosty light]

i dont think i can afford a chance orb

how much are they lol

[meager flower]

Dude, I am looking for a speciffic charm and I pinged 27 people so far in the past 30 minutes. NOT A FUCKING ONE REPLIED!

[ember jasper]

We can already see it happening, anything that isnt top tier is 1 exalt, everything else is above a divine, no inbetween

[shut abyss]

you'll get plenty down the line

[meager flower]

Also, selling charms with 10 divines is not ok.

[daring dragon]

Check the currency exchange npc

[shut abyss]

which one do you need?

[daring dragon]

It's a free market. No need to buy them.

[eager basin]

why not lol

[ember jasper]

set min price higher

[meager flower]

stun charm with at least 50/70 charge increase. Simple as that...

[frosty light]

5 exalted

not worth rn i only have liek 10 exalted lol

[shut abyss]

let me see my crap o box if there's any

[frosty light]

how do u see it can become a head hunter?

where can i learn that

[eager basin]

chancing is for rich players at endgame

[shut abyss]

it'll say "headhunter" on it, it's a unique

[daring dragon]

Certain bases will turn into certain uniques.

I don't have a list.

[normal ibex]

still waiting for white stellar amulet drops to tempt me into being a trader 😛

[frosty light]

so when im using this loot filter add on. i should pick up anyu items that look like that?

like common items with green border etc

[eager basin]

not really a vague "certain", it's that chance orbs can upgrade items to non-drop-restricted uniques of the same base type

[shut abyss]

@meager flower sorry i only got 33%

[daring dragon]

Better be safe than sry so if you don't want to miss a possible good base yes.

[eager basin]

only if you want to bulk sell them or something

[meager flower]

50/70 is the minimum where it can be used 3 times

[eager basin]

keeping a bunch of heavy belts isn't going to do much for you on their own

[frosty light]

ah ok

[meager flower]

but hell, nearly 40 PMs and nobody replies

Even those that would ask 100+ exalts for them

[daring dragon]

Can easily sell them for 2-3 ex each which is valuable currency for a new player

[meager flower]

Not that I would pay that

[daring dragon]

Selling white bases is a good income as a new player.

Some bases go as high as ~30 ex

[meager flower]

I guess you mean the stellar amulet

[daring dragon]

Currently they are even selling for more than that

But it's the general price

[supple osprey]

Is there a bug where azagbog witch boss (grants permanent Stat boost on completion) does not appear complete on the way point map after beating? Just beat her and she didn't drop spirit boost so I must have beaten before, but still shows incomplete

[frosty light]

for ice strike monk, what is some good filters to look for a weapon on trade?

im lvl 50

had my staff for last 20 levels an i need some more power now

[shut abyss]

high phys>cold/lightning>fire>attack speed>melee skill level(ugh mana problems)

[frosty light]

% or # ?

[shut abyss]

i guess easiest is to add attack speed and max price of 1ex and sort by dps

[dusky burrow]

just sort by dps

[eager basin]

yeah, just set a price and level cap and sort by dps

or by pdps

[frosty light]

wait how do u sort by dps

[eager basin]

search and then click the dps number at the bottom of a listing

[frosty light]

this is my current one

[shut abyss]

thats not too bad and you don't even have iron runes on it

[dusky burrow]

not bad, yeah

[frosty light]

shall i socket it?

[dusky burrow]

at least check trade first

[frosty light]

best i can find, unless my filter is wrong

doesn't seem any better than my current.

[dusky burrow]

socket urs then, it's already pretty good

[frosty light]

an put iron runes in

[dusky burrow]

can slam slam if you want too

yeah

[frosty light]

slam slam?

[dusky burrow]

exalt exalt

[shut abyss]

plus two sockets and quality and maye it's better

[dusky burrow]

if you hit flat phys its big

[plush lantern]

When should I start using a loot filter?

[dusky burrow]

but idk if it's worth the gamble of 2 exalts

[dusky burrow]

from the start

[frosty light]

ok i socketed

[dusky burrow]

no reason to put it off

[frosty light]

let me get some runes in

ah dont have any iron runes, sad.

[plush lantern]

Oh 😭 thanks

[frosty light]

do ppl sell iron runes

[shut abyss]

/invite mopparii and come to my hideout

[frosty light]

ty

[supple osprey]

Any other items give +%spirit besides scepter?

[dusky burrow]

note that that stat is local

you cant get exactly that anywhere else as only sceptre has base spirit

however there is % spirit on one of the grand spectrums

and there is flat spirit on body, ammy, and many uniques

[rose jungle]

err not that I know of no. Only sceptre gives % to spirit the rest are flat

[gritty sun]

how do you reset a boss so you can farm it over and over - logging out of game and back in didn't do it for me

[dusky burrow]

emerald grand spectrum for 2% per

[rose jungle]

oh? Ty for that info

[gilded veldt]

Which one is better? I'm assuming... Charms? Maybe? Is the mana that much of a buff?

I'm doing ice strike monk, if that matters

[shut abyss]

monks struggle alot with mana

[gilded veldt]

Ah, so that's probably more worth then

[thorn yew]

how do i know when to replace this

[gilded veldt]

I wasn't sure if charms were a big thing end game or not

[dusky burrow]

charms are terrible in their current state

maybe in the future

[gilded veldt]

Gotcha, I'll go mana then, thank you!

[thorn yew]

also everything is so confusing like i dont know which boots to wear

gear wise im so confused

[dusky burrow]

movement speed >>> anything else

[gilded veldt]

Always go move speed

[dusky burrow]

very easy decision there

[shut abyss]

gonna take a while, might even carry you trough campaign atleast on normal

[craggy gyro]

do you want free ingenuity

[dusky burrow]

no

[craggy gyro]

do u want a lvl 20/6 link skeletal sniper

[sacred pond]

if I choose wrong passives can I change them later on ?

[dusky burrow]

yes

[sacred pond]

thank you !

[dusky burrow]

only thing you cant change is ascendancy choice

but you can still respec points within the asc you chose

[gritty sun]

how do you reset a boss for boss farming?

[craggy gyro]

waypoint

then alt + click the map

create new instance

[gritty sun]

thanks!

[sacred pond]

I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about but I will pretend I do 😄

[dusky burrow]

you'll see once you get to the trial of the sekhmas

[sacred pond]

gotcha

I am coming from WoW (I haven't played WoW in about a year or so) and decided to give it a chance 😄

[craggy gyro]

are u playing minions

[sacred pond]

played like 20m and game looks/feels really good

[craggy gyro]

i feel like giving away gears

[sacred pond]

me ?

[craggy gyro]

do u want a 35 divine belt

[sacred pond]

don't know what that is 😄 so better give it to someone who can utilize it 😄

[craggy gyro]

right

[dusky burrow]

you want a 35 divine belt, even if you dont know it yet

[sacred pond]

oh

[frosty light]

Just sold a common sapphire ring for 3ex, is there any other common items worth money lol

[sacred pond]

@craggy gyro come back here

[craggy gyro]

ppl buy sapphire rings for 7ex

[sacred pond]

I changed my mind , kekw

[dusky burrow]

stellar amulet

[craggy gyro]

at least in bulk

[frosty light]

stellar amulet too?

doesnt matter on base roll?

[craggy gyro]

stellar is 30-45 each

between those

depending on who buys it

[craggy gyro]

yea

[frosty light]

damm thats insane.

[craggy gyro]

because once it turns unique

it's the same base

[frosty light]

good to know, ill keep eye out for stellar amulet & common sapphier rings

blue not worth anything i suppose?

[craggy gyro]

yea

i mean

if it has +3 something

could be worth something

[frosty light]

i got a few ill check

why do lvl 90s list items for 1ex, is it not a waste of time?

[dusky burrow]

lvl is not power

oh i see

they have dump tabs

they throw a bunch of stuff into a tab listed at 1ex, if they get whispers they review those items

[frosty light]

ahh ok makes sense

[shut abyss]

or poor

[craggy gyro]

hahahaha

[frosty light]

i just assumed exalted would drop every 10 seconds at lvl 90+

[craggy gyro]

what are u playing @frosty light

what character

[frosty light]

im an ice monk

[dusky burrow]

you can have skill issue even at lvl 90, yeah

[craggy gyro]

do u have any gears yet?

[frosty light]

as in items?

[craggy gyro]

yea

[frosty light]

i have nothing wotrh more than 1ex

i bought a staff, body, 2 rings, and 1 amulet for 1 ex each

rest is just junk

[craggy gyro]

i will give u hand of wisdom

add me

[eager basin]

[frosty light]

what level u need for it?

im lvl 51

[craggy gyro]

maybe just pillar

[mortal frigate]

What can I do to get my spirit high enough to turn on Wind Dancer? I have 53 spirit on my chest and 50 on my amulet and I'm level 56 on act 2 cruel ?

[craggy gyro]

wait

[dusky burrow]

howa is lvl 52

ur the chosen one

[frosty light]

im 43% to level up

[shut abyss]

howa is best in slot for ice strike monk 😛

[craggy gyro]

u can have that

[frosty light]

is it better than this

[craggy gyro]

ah well

maybe not

[shut abyss]

yes and no, you need to change your build completely and it probly doesn't perform well before endgame

[frosty light]

i found this on market by filter for dps

[craggy gyro]

use that

[frosty light]

its my HP i am struggling with

[craggy gyro]

u can't utilize pillar at your level

[frosty light]

i can go from 100% to 0% in like 2seconds

[craggy gyro]

stat stacking is only enjoyable at higher level builds

thought u were leveling or something

turns out u are a giga chad

[frosty light]

i am leveling this is my first playthrough

im on act 1 (version 2)

[craggy gyro]

u doing great

[frosty light]

[warm pendant]

Someone mind helping me and a buddy through the first trials?

[craggy gyro]

zzcxxz

[thorn yew]

hi guys im level 17 how can i become stronger?

[frosty light]

you're a legend ty, im 3 levels off using the ingenuinty

[fair stream]

I wanted to use the flicker to nuke screens when I get to maps,but my build is mainly lighting based is there difference way I could nuke screens?

[craggy gyro]

guys

who plays totem?

i have this fuckery

i don't need this shitt

[frosty light]

how do u get the thing at bottom which says the price?

[shut abyss]

@craggy gyro you've customized your hideout yes? doesn't look like canal to me

[craggy gyro]

imported

from internet

[south mantle]

Anyone able to give advice for warrior

[shut abyss]

ahh, is very nice anyhow!

[craggy gyro]

these too

[frosty light]

is that shield for a witch?

[thorn yew]

any tips please

[frosty light]

my buddy has been searching for one

[south mantle]

That shield is mad

[normal ibex]

not sure this is the channel for trading even free items

people asking for help are getting drowned out

[craggy gyro]

it's fine

5 minutes later

we are all strangers again

like nothing ever happened

but u could be right

[normal ibex]

i'm always right, its criminally offensive how right i am

[sacred pond]

what's that II next to I

is it for 2nd set of gear ?

1 for tank and one for dps or ?

[normal ibex]

just weapons

[frosty light]

u can hold 2 items incase u wanna kill bosses with one and stuff

[thorn yew]

also when should i be using augment orbs etc on my gear? idk when because i keep replacing it

[normal ibex]

i think theres a way to switch skills bar too but i havent looked into it yet

[sacred pond]

can I start dual wield two handed weapons early game or I need to unlock this later on >

[normal ibex]

depending on your level, you should be starting to use transmute orbs and such on whites all the time to try make better gear, kinda gets harder the more mods you have on an item, but trying to make 'perfect' two mod blues is not all that easy 🙂

[south mantle]

Can you have two Ascendancies

Or do I need to roll another character

[craggy gyro]

just one

u create another

might change

but currently you can only have 1

[south mantle]

Ah damn guess I’m rolling another warrior

[craggy gyro]

hahaha

are u a masochist

[south mantle]

Probably but it’s the only class in the game I don’t struggle with

[normal ibex]

people are asking if GGG will allow changing ascendencies, not sure how much chance there is

[craggy gyro]

high chance it will happen

because so many people are demanding for it

[south mantle]

It would be nice if we could i wanna roll a totem warrior

[normal ibex]

if you like melee try monk, its a little more managable as a melee class imo

[craggy gyro]

i have 7 divines worth of es/minion dmg jewel

who wants it

are you playing minions @south mantle

[south mantle]

I don’t find it hard I just like trying new builds I wanted to try Merc but hated it

[south mantle]

I did at the start but quit at end of act 1

[craggy gyro]

damn

no luck huh

i'm out of here

gonna push through hcssf

[normal ibex]

my current warrior is very cannon, but allso very glass heh

[south mantle]

What’s hcssf

[frosty light]

what level are u on ur hc seoseo?

[south mantle]

I really don’t get the hate on warrior tbh

[frosty light]

and also HC means if u die, ur character is deleted?

[shut abyss]

hardcore solo self found

[obsidian oasis]

3 diw ?

[eager basin]

no, it's transferred to standard

[fierce cloak]

is witch slow?

[normal ibex]

it definietly feels weird to play, slow attacks for me make it feel odd, but so long as i get first hit in, none of my other characters kill anywhere near as fast

[south mantle]

I mean maybe I’m not at a point where warrior sucks yet

[fierce cloak]

and only recommended because tanky?

[south mantle]

Literally I just tear through units

[eager basin]

no ascendancy is inherently faster or slower than others

only like, deadeye and pathfinder have passives related to speed

[south mantle]

Is movement speed boots very important too

[fierce cloak]

ah i meant for like clear speed

for trash throughout campaign

[humble orbit]

why energy shield value (top one) differs by hundred while stats related to es are different by 1-2

[eager basin]

that would depend on the build

levelling speed is often quite unrelated to endgame build performance as well

[eager basin]

different bases

[humble orbit]

so when buying item you have to look at "bases" also? because I never gave it a thought

also which value is more correct top one or bottom one?

[eager basin]

I mean, unless you are planning on doing additional crafting there's no need to look specifically at the ES modifiers at all

just look at the total ES and the other affixes

[humble orbit]

total ES meaning bottom value in these screenshots?

[eager basin]

yes

[humble orbit]

thanks

also for example take these helments, if one does not have a slot with +20% ES I could assume that total value would be different by 20% if I would add one?

[eager basin]

no, iron rune's bonus will be additive with the existing %increased ES on the item

quality bonus is multiplicative though

[humble orbit]

eh that complicates things with additive, but for example if there are currently no 20% quality on item I could assume that I could make it pretty easy 20% ES more total by adding quality?

sorry for stupid specifc questions

just trying to find out better deals on gear

[brisk root]

which venom draught is best? 30% ailment resist?

[normal ibex]

i'm not sure quality even works that way, it also seems to effect different items differently

[humble orbit]

haha so better not just to rely on quality and socket when buying and item

[humble orbit]

im pretty new but it completely depends on your build i believe

[brisk root]

playing mercenary

[haughty niche]

Quality is a more multiplier to the gear's defense stats i believe. Hover over the tooltip in game for more indepth answer

[humble orbit]

im pretty sure mercenary has 100 different builds available so I would just skip taking any till you get to endgame and then make your choice

[humble orbit]

ty

[haughty niche]

Martial weapons it raises local phys, caster it raises the quality of the spell the weapon provides

[brisk root]

oh i don't have to take one?

[humble orbit]

is there any danger by adding quality and sockets to gear? like corrupting gear or stats somehow

[humble orbit]

ye you can just come back anytime and choose it, someone could correct me if I'm wrong but I read that on internet haha

[eager basin]

yes

that's what the number in the bottom of each listing on the trade site is

item with quality applied

[elder compass]

when or how do we get belts with 2 or more charm slots?

[gritty sun]

on a PC what is the key command to sell something to a vendor so you don't have to drag it over to their inventory?

[lament stone]

It's a mod that sometimes rod on belts

[humble orbit]

okay seems strange to provide number instantly with quality even if item currently has none

[rich shore]

who can help me with act 3 boss)

[haughty niche]

Ctrl+click?

[elder compass]

"rod" meaning?

[eager basin]

typo'd something like "rolls" I think

[elder compass]

ah okk

[weary flume]

Hello,

What is the optimal total % rarity on gear??

[rapid snow]

when leveling ice strike monk, what are the stats you generally want on your gear to ease your way into the campaign? attack speed and physical damage?

[haughty niche]

After 100 rarity it starts becoming less noticeable. But if you jump from likr 100 to 140 you will still notice it.

[humble orbit]

what rune gives 5% to all elemental resistances on armor? cannot find one

[weary flume]

I think its a core not a rune

[humble orbit]

do you add core same as runes?

[weary flume]

Yes, Soul Core of Citaqualotl for 5%

in armor

[haughty niche]

They are basically the same as runes but way rarer/more expensive

[humble orbit]

thanks

[idle plaza]

probably phys dmg and flat cold for your double heralds

[swift rapids]

if anyone got some knowledge regarding deadeye , please dm me i got some questions

[humble orbit]

what do you use on item for it to get "Inflict XXX" modifier?

[next yew]

How does damage conversion works? Do I get bonuses from both modifiers? I want fire>fire buffs>convert into cold>cold buffs - does that work or only base fire dmg is converted? Also what will happen with ignition debuff dmg?

[next yew]

essence?

[amber crypt]

game becomes super laggy when i do fireballs

[summer forge]

So, should I just destroy tapestry relics I don't want (the 1x3 horizontal ones)? They can't be reforged

[amber crypt]

holy fuck

what is this build that bombs ur pc

[humble orbit]

but doesn't essence adds like bonus for elemental damage or resistance? I'm talking more about inflicts skill additions

[amber crypt]

unplayable

alert

[haughty niche]

Just because you can, doesnt mean you should

[amber crypt]

i got it from a leveling build bro

[trim turret]

What do you mean, inflicts? Give me an example. And essences have many different stats they can add.

[amber crypt]

didnt know its gonna lag the game

[haughty niche]

500 projectiles tend to do that

[boreal peak]

I am level 39, am I ready to do the ascendancy?

I got lost in the campaign and I am in act 3, I dont know if I should have done it already

[trim turret]

That has little to do with your level. Try it and find out. The first one can be repeated no matter how many times you fail.

[boreal peak]

I have to do all the floors or how does it work?

To get the ascendancy class I mean

[brisk isle]

so... i got rathbreaker glitched and i have no clue how to unstuck him

anyone knows how to reset the map or something?

[left reef]

Is there a knack to beating viper napuatzi? Or is it more that my build is likely weak if im struggling? Am on standard act 3

[humble orbit]

okay inflict may be wrong wording, for example here

[trim turret]

For the first sekhema to unlock your ascendancy you have to complete one floor.

[inner river]

esc, respawn at checkpoint

[brisk isle]

tried

[trim turret]

That's called anointing and is an endgame mechanic.

[humble orbit]

thanks

[inner river]

if you can leave the area, then go somewhere else for 10 mins, or logout

[brisk isle]

ill try logging out

[trim turret]

I've found her pretty easy. Most of her stuff can be avoided. If you're having a lot of trouble I'd definitely look at your damage and defenses, specifically resists.

[brisk isle]

still stuck :^

[inner river]

you need to log into another character, or be logged out for 5-10 mins

[left reef]

Yeah im defo not optimised as I am trying to figure out the build I want to use. Thats probs why 😅 thanks!

[inner river]

or nothing resets

[amber crypt]

🤓 erm

[trim turret]

Yeah by act 3 you kinda want to know what you're building towards.

[gritty sun]

how does a focus work in a sorceress build - it seems to equip like a weapon but doesn't have a skill - is it active even when it isn't the seleted weapon?

[dusky burrow]

its not a weapon

it's like a shield

but it can't block

it has base energy shield and can roll caster-related modifiers

so it's a medium between offensive and defensive

[normal ibex]

its like trhe quiver of the ranger

[gritty sun]

okay - I guess that makes sense - thanks for that help!

[shut abyss]

i didint see anyone respod but holdin ctrl while zoning in lets you create new instances

[shut abyss]

any chaos res/poison charm helps a ton

[storm mica]

What quarterstaff should I trade for if I want to make an ice strike build?

[shut abyss]

depends on the build and level but all them usually want high damage and attack speed atleast

[next yew]

if spells have both duration and limit on active number it basically can't echo right?

[acoustic imp]

Excuse me - but my friend's poe2 causes their computer to freeze up completely, will they fix the core multithreading option?

Their CPU usage spikes to 100% and their computer becomes unresponsive when that happens

[normal ibex]

have they tried switching the multithreading option on/off in the startup options?

[acoustic imp]

If it's turned on, the PC will freeze up and become unresponsive

with the multithread off, the frames is lowered

[normal ibex]

well, if it at least works, can then try messing with some shadow and lighting settings to get the frames back, disable all the GTX bullcrap and so forth... At least it should get into a playable state

[acoustic imp]

He wants it to look smoother but it won't become smooth enough unless multithread is on, oof

We've tried messing with the settings a whole bunch

[cobalt kayak]

hi✌️

[normal ibex]

from what ive read this issue is a potential AMD microcode issue, but on the whole thats above my paygrade

[normal ibex]

and i want my wife to look like a model, but lightswitches and imagination is the tools i have to work with shrugs

[acoustic imp]

[shut abyss]

probly problem with windows update 24h2, if you can roll it back do it, if not this might help:
Open Task Manager
Go to the Details Tab -> PathofExile2 -> Right-Click -> Set Affinity -> Remove 2 cores (0 and 1).

[normal ibex]

forums might have a bunch of things to try, likely to get more solutions than in here too

[open nebula]

i downloaded "Process Lasso", which automatically sets the affinity every time you open the game. pretty handy.

doesn't prevent game crashes but does prevent PC freezes. i can get anywhere from 10 - 180 minutes of game play in before it crashes.

[shut abyss]

oof

@acoustic imp @open nebula check if you can roll back that windows update

[trim turret]

If you increased the limit with one of the appropriate support gems it MIGHT gain the ability to echo, not sure.

[dawn sandal]

I finished this - I killed last boss and I didn't get points ??' why ?

[shut abyss]

idk but for whatever reason this is a unfinished coin that you can continue

[dawn sandal]

when it says - number of trials 2 or 3

means what ?

[shut abyss]

hmm? says where

[shut abyss]

i think orb of storm is like that and it can echo(maybe im confusing supports, checking)

[acoustic imp]

I told my friend about it, but idk if it'll work, if we try I'll try to remember to let u know

It might not be possible, friend said they did other updates too

[arctic maple]

hi,
Will inspiration work with skills triggered by "cast on shock"?

[next yew]

I did the firestorm with echo and +1 to limit but not sure if it actually worked with it's random hits

[shut abyss]

yeah im thinking of spell cascade, echo is very obvious if it works.

[shut abyss]

yes

[arctic maple]

but, tool tip of the skill does not reflect that, is this a bug?

[shut abyss]

never actually confirmed if it works since i just stole that shock gem setup from someone else D: are you looking at cast on shock or the actual skill thats getting triggered?

[arctic maple]

"cast on shock" doe snot have a "cost" since it's reservation. But looking at the skill triggered by it, the cost does not change. Also if I put inspiration on "normal" skill, cost does not change as well, but I can "feel" that it's working.
I don't get the same "feeling" with cast on shock skills

[shut abyss]

maybe i (you) need to test it out

[arctic maple]

do you have any idea how?

[shut abyss]

go shoot at someone? 😄

does your mana go bye bye in 1 or 2 seconds

[arctic maple]

yes, always on pinacle bosses

[spiral light]

what and where are the requirements?

[shut abyss]

i guess for testing you could just shoot normal mobs

[shut abyss]

is that top node in weapon set 1?

[spiral light]

i think so

[shut abyss]

then you need to either put the next point in 1 or respec it to both

[real gust]

in the chaos trials to affixes that affect monsters also affect bosses?

[daring dragon]

Yes

[shut abyss]

bosses are monsters

[real gust]

thanks. was just wondering because there are separate affixes for bosses specifically

[shut abyss]

not all monsters are bosses D:

[real gust]

thankfully not haha

though imagine the loot if you have a strong build

[shut abyss]

i wonder how that would go, my build is quite strong but i can't freeze all of them

[tropic cave]

are there any updates on game freezing up the pc on loading, forcing a shut down of the system

[next yew]

Cascade need limit of 3

[shut abyss]

they are figuring it out, you can try rolling back windows update or turning off two cores for poe in taskmanager

[next yew]

Spell cascade spawns 2 more spells on top of original so in case of firestorm you need to rise limit of firestorms to 3 for the full use of skillgem

[shut abyss]

ahh

[faint obsidian]

Hey guys I recently defeated the boss in act 3 but now I’m suddenly in cruel difficulty did I finish the campaign or did I miss something

[next yew]

Without limit increase they will overwrite each other

[shut abyss]

yaay again again! acts 1-3 in cruel difficulty are placeholders for the real acts that come later

[arctic maple]

Is there something like "combat" log w poe2?

[haughty niche]

nope

[brisk isle]

🙏

[faint obsidian]

Cruel difficulty is just cruel

[keen zephyr]

if you dont have a good build

[haughty niche]

its basically an annoying victory lap. Wasn't balanced properly so you very quickly outscale the enemies in cruel

i just ran through it on my 3 chars

[shut abyss]

ofc

just head to the nearest waypoint

[faint obsidian]

They keep sending me back to the 200. BIC waypoint

[elder compass]

this just dropped for me on ssf. i see it as a levelling gear but i guess does it have uses in Str stacker builds?

[haughty niche]

the downsides are kind of very ass

[arctic maple]

Can I somehow link my character to somone?

[elder compass]

i was thinking if str stackers care about reduced dex or int?

[haughty niche]

like gear and stuff? or just name?

[arctic maple]

gear and stuff

[faint obsidian]

It’s okay I got

[haughty niche]

in poe1 you definitely can

Thanks guys

doesn't look like theres an option/dropdown yet

oh well, thank you anyway 🙂

Can I defer a ritual item multiple times, in ritual altars? I got something at 3200 tribute, but the most i can get usually is like 2000ish

what's the best act 3 venom draught for invoker? mana regen?

[delicate geode]

any high console players that have some tips for the graphics?

[haughty niche]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Tools theres a few different ones. But they are only as good at identifying the price of rares as you are.

You still need to know what combos of affixes / base item / potential the item has, etc.

Definitely helps speed up the process though. Personally I use awakened poe trade in poe1, so i went with Exiled-Exchange-2 in poe2 which is a fork off of awk poe trade.

we usually direct people looking for boss help to #2┃looking-for-group

might have more success there

hello guys quick question, what venoms do i go for as a gemling attribute stacker?

[fierce plaza]

i need help im tryana use charged staff but idk why the damage wont show it wont work i have hand of chayula but cant cant get power charges

[gilded minnow]

What level should I try the chaos tria to get my second ascendancy? Playing HC infernalist.

[timber fjord]

should i put scattershot on my arsonist or my bow skellies?

for more poison cloud

[frosty light]

thank you - ima give it a try!

[gilded minnow]

Arsonist imo

[trim turret]

I say skellies. A large area of gas means a larger area that the arsonists ignite.

[clear merlin]

What’s the max level

[haughty niche]

100

but most characters will be considered done around low to mid 90s

not like diablo where the class finally starts at maxlvl

I haven’t played Diablo so I wouldn’t know
But thanks

what is multi bell when it comes to a monk?

[craggy gyro]

hey i took like 3 weeks break and returning. Is my account safe now? Did they fix the hackers stealing divines?

[wary wind]

Who is a good content creator for build guides especially monk?

[ivory fern]

i used ColdBwoyy ice strike monk guide and im on T9 endgame oneshoting almost everything except big bosses

[normal ibex]

anybody have a good idea where to grind exp and gear prior to dreadnaught vanguard? i suddenly went from being kinda ok to getting my ass handed to me, somehow ive gotten to areas higher level than i am

[ivory fern]

just go back an area or 2 where you can start killing efficiently you should lvl quickly and bosses dont give a ton of xp like other games so dont waste your time on big bosses

[normal ibex]

my 2nd impossible boss of the day, also gone from mobs can barely touh me to every yellow/blue mob wiping me in half a second lol

[ivory fern]

try to get gear with fire, cold, and lightning resist and that will help

[cloud sage]

can anyone help me kill jamanra the abomitaion i cant do it

[trim turret]

Increasing your max number of bells so you can have two at a time.

[wary wind]

icic was looking at this guys build but dont know if its good https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/9jd530nz

[ivory fern]

thats pretty much what i use and i like it. im sure they're better build cuz there always is in these kind of game but that one should get to atleast t10 cuz thats where im at with it and now im struggling a little but i also feel like its a skill issue for me haha

[wary wind]

aight!

tyvm good sir

[frosty light]

got my first waystone 🙂

whats it for

what is a map device, and where do i find it

[ember sinew]

If I poison the Vine arrow or Toxic growth, the latters also Poison themselves, or I have to constantly Poisonburst arrow everything and everybody?

[scenic salmon]

very important for act 4 cruel

[frosty light]

what is cruel? im on act 5 and only just got my first one

[scenic salmon]

what

[ivory fern]

you are on cruel then and its for endgame its like a key to unlock endgame maps

[frosty light]

oh sorry im on act 2 (version 2) i assumed thats act 5?

[rancid lintel]

hey guys just started only like a day or two ago , on act two and should I be trying to get rarity % on my gear? cause it seems like I’ve had nothing but only magic item drops and barely any rare at all

[ivory fern]

yes everything after act 3 (version 1) is considered cruel mode

[frosty light]

so i cannot use waystone until endgame?

[dusky burrow]

correct

until you complete the campaign

[frosty light]

ok dope ill keep it

[ivory fern]

thats a decent 1st one to find. mine was normal and i had to upgrade it haha

[frosty light]

what do u get from them, good loot?

[dusky burrow]

they're the keys you use to access endgame content

[plush mantle]

it continues progression after the campaign

[dusky burrow]

every area = 1 waystone

[frosty light]

right i see

i saw on reddit some kinda civ5 looking "map"

guessin thats related

[ivory fern]

better rarity = better loot

[plush mantle]

also, getting very #2┃after-acts-help 🙂

[meager flower]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Lightning_Rod

https://poe2db.tw/us/Stormblast_Bolts

can anyone with more exp in POE can tell me if these 2 skills are basically the same just one is for bow and one is for crossbow?

Lightning Rod is for sticking into the ground and you blow it up with something like ORb of Storms.

Would Stormblast Bolts work the same? Should I still use Orb of Storms for it?

Might be a bit difficult question but I just can't get my head around it

[plush mantle]

have you looked at the videos for the skills in poe2db? would clarify a few things for you (they're the same videos that play from the gemcutting screen in game)

but conceptually they're similiar; something you sticks in the ground that can be triggered by another skill. How you trigger them is different though

[meager flower]

The diff is that one blows and the other chains...

[plush mantle]

Orb of Storms won't work on Stormblast bolts because it's not a Detonater skill (has a Detonater tag)

[meager flower]

Yeah... I forgot how strict POE is with the tags

[humble karma]

does that work on gear?

[plush mantle]

if it's the same base type and rarity, yes

[humble karma]

what happens to the mods

[worthy finch]

Can anyone help me through act 2 and three cruel

[humble karma]

do u have currency buy something thats going to boost ur dmg
couple ex are going to fix all ur problems

[plush mantle]

makes a completely new item of that type/rarity, it's not a recombiner, it's more like the old 3:1 or 5:1 vendor recipes

#2┃looking-for-group

[keen zephyr]

nvm ill just run a few maps

[rapid snow]

oh is that with a support gem?

[trim turret]

Yeah there are a couple that add +1 to maximum with downsides.

[plush mantle]

they say "+1 to limit"

[rapid snow]

gotcha, thank you

and i guess people do that so you can build stacks while ringing one?

[uneven musk]

Okay, I'm pretty frustrated with the game at this point, but I don't think it's the game's fault.

[plush mantle]

yep, because you can't build stacks while the bell is out otherwise

[uneven musk]

Also hello, hi. I'm Angel nice to meet you all

[rapid snow]

gotcha, thank you very much

[trim turret]

What issue are you having?

[gusty sedge]

hey guys i just got to cruel act 1 but now i cant go back to chaos temple, do you know how i can use the waypoint to travel back?

[trim turret]

Once you get to town in cruel you should be able to go back using waypoints.

[uneven musk]

So...I might be mistaken, but exactly how difficult is this game supposed to be? I'm on act two and I'm literally getting 1 shot by every boss, even though I have (what I thought was) "good gear".

Is this actually how hard the game is?

[trim turret]

Most bosses have SOME attacks that can maybe oneshot. But what do you define as "good gear?"

[gusty sedge]

i got to the town in cruel but when I put a portal it takes me to ziggurat encampment but now there is no waypoint there

[uneven musk]

I've made it this far by doing a no-hit run everytime I run into a boss, but that's become almost impossible for me at this point in the game

[trim turret]

Don't portal, go from waypoint to waypoint.

[trim turret]

Yeah it shouldn't be like that.

[uneven musk]

Gear that has lots of bonuses to my spcific build. Doing electric ranger.

[trim turret]

Life and resists are the most important stats on non-weapon gear for almost any build.

[normal ibex]

which bosses, the bstard in the traitors passage has impossible to avoid damage with literally 0 resitance gear to stop it

[trim turret]

Except for physical and chaos mitigation?

[tired forge]

A question if I may:
At what level did you guys complete your 3rd series of Ascension?
I am already L72 and I cant complete the trial, mainly because I always run out of Honor before end of trial 😛

[normal ibex]

of which ive seen on piece in the 100 ish hours ive played

[uneven musk]

The one I'm stuck on is the rock thing at the end of the trail in act 2, but I failed twice and don't know where to get more relics

[normal ibex]

i'm still stuck on the level 32 boss, my fire res aparenly doesnt exist to his hits lol

[uneven musk]

Also is there a "best place" to just grind levels?

[frosty light]

can't figure out what "combat frenzy" does lol

don't think its doing anything for me.

[trim turret]

You want to stay in zones within three levels of your own for maximum xp. And again, you want life and resists on gear. Movement speed on boots.

[trim turret]

It gives frenzy charges. But you need a way of spending or doing something with them.

[frosty light]

im ice strike monk, dont think any ability i use does

[ember sinew]

Why grey items on the floor stopped being highlighted?
What did I touch?
I dont have filters enabled in options🤷‍♂️

[trim turret]

Do you use charged staff later?

[frosty light]

ehm let me see

[trim turret]

Hit Z and hid the nameplates?

[frosty light]

I don't think so..

[trim turret]

Is a build guide telling you to use it?

[uneven musk]

So...400 hp is not enough for act 2 at level 23?

[frosty light]

no i think i messed up lol

idk whta to spend my spirit on

[rare ore]

Why whould someone join a guild ? I dont understand

[trim turret]

I have no idea what the average is, resists are even more important. How are yours?

[trim turret]

Socializing, sharing items.

[rare ore]

Alright , thanks !

[uneven musk]

Fire -10%(-10%)
Lightning -2 %(-2%)
Cold 23%
Chaos 10%

[trim turret]

Those are really bad.

[rare ore]

Damn thats not good

[trim turret]

You should no way have negative resists. Especially in act 2.

[rare ore]

Try buying some rings

Or amulets

[safe lance]

400 sounds good tbh, I've leveled a bunch of chars and I think they were at like 250 in act 2 start

[trim turret]

And guess what, the trial boss does fire damage.

[safe lance]

the resists are bad yeah

[uneven musk]

Ah...that explains it

[safe lance]

or should be able to just socket runes

[rare ore]

Thats not enough tho

You need some rings too

[trim turret]

Make sure you're disenchanting/salvaging gear for resources, dont ignore blue items since they can have good mods, don't be afraid to spend currency items like augment orbs to upgrade or craft on items, check vendors for decent bases, socket runes for resists when you can.

[uneven musk]

Eh nowhere near enough gold to buy rings. I might have to just try no-hit running the trail boss until I get a lucky drop, I guess?

[trim turret]

Or come back to the trial later?

[uneven musk]

I'm out of the things to attempt again. How do I get more of those?

[ember sinew]

Guys, I am getting the Lore wrong?
Isnt "The beast" actually good, as in PoE 1 its what kept the crazy goods sleeping?🤔

[trim turret]

The first one is a quest item so you can do it as many times as you need to.

You could probably go to town vendor and get gear that's better than what you're wearing.

[uneven musk]

That's...not true? I went to try again, and it's not in my inventory

I only got to try twice

[trim turret]

It's in the pedestal to start the trial then.

[grand pilot]

Any help would b good....just got to trials of sekhema...do i have to complete it to move on..if so ..any tips and tricks for monks

[uneven musk]

But the button to start the trail wasn't there

[trim turret]

It's for your subclass, which adds a lot of power, but you can do it later.

[normal ibex]

am i missing something? i havent even seen any mention of trials yet, unless i still need to beat the bitch in the traitors tunnel?

[tired forge]

Need help? : )

[normal ibex]

nope, just better gear lol

[tired forge]

Quick question, if I may: Is this game still technically on Beta/Early Access?

[normal ibex]

yes

[vivid venture]

guys is 1,800 dps enough for cruel act 1 on deadeye or should i start changing some gear

[normal ibex]

will be for a year i reckon

[trim turret]

Dunno what to tell you. It's a quest item and you're supposed to have unlimited tries if it's your first trial. But I'd focus on un-fucking your resists first anyway. Grind some areas. Pick up and break down or sell everything.

[meager flower]

Question for anyone with Crossbow experrience: For a Galvanic Shard + Herald of Thunder I am interested if Cast on Shock would be useful
I paired Cast on Shock with Ball Lightning, Deceleration, Impetus, Energy Retention and I have 1 more socket from corruption. What can I shot in and SHOULD I use COS with Galvanic Shards OR Shockburst Rounds?

[normal ibex]

i love beta testing, but better late than dlivered buggered

[rancid lintel]

are you able to show me a pic of ur gear? I’m also playing dead eye and I’m still on act 2 normal so just want an idea of how I should be gearing

[trim turret]

If you're killing stuff comfortably it's enough. A number in a vacuum like that doesn't mean much.

[grand pilot]

What are the best resists for 1st time trying trials.

[vivid venture]

its pretty much random i just wear whatever looks good for me and has high physical/electric damage

[normal ibex]

i think high damage is whats messed up some of my gear tbh, dropped the ball on defence

[vivid venture]

for deadeye it doesnt matter to be honest for me

[trim turret]

You can't use cast on shock with galvanic shards or shockburst rounds, they arent spells.

[grand pilot]

Is there a certain path i should go for....or just cross my fingers and try not to get hit..lol

[vivid venture]

full tailwind boosts my evasion to 80%

seems op

[trim turret]

It's random.

And all resists are important all the time.

[grand pilot]

Is it a solo thing..or can friends help with trials

[vivid venture]

bro is it normal to struggle on geonor but then blast 1st/2nd try on all bosses

thsi game difficulty is weird

[trim turret]

Friends can help. But I think if they lose honor you do too.

[vivid venture]

or i just got a good buil didk

build idk

[normal ibex]

well, i got my first jewellers orb

[left glacier]

is there a way to change this or am I stuck with this reward no matter what?

[tepid reef]

are shields considered "armor" for runes?

or martial weapon

[trim turret]

You get what you get each round. Getting your ascendancy points are more important anyway.

[frosty light]

which snake venom (act 6) do i choose?

im a monk

[trim turret]

Whichever one you feel like you need. They aren't huge.

[frosty light]

10% chaos resist, 5+ all atrri or 15% reduced potentcy slow debuff

i guess +5 all then

cant really go wrong with that

[trim turret]

Armor.

[eager basin]

that sounds correct

[eager basin]

usually chaos res unless you're going CI

[frosty light]

even with ingenunity belt?

[eager basin]

[safe lance]

Idk if you want to assume that ingenuity is a given tho

Or if you already have one, then sure you can pick whichever you feel like

[frosty light]

i was given an ingenunity with 79% bonus

so my rings are giving crazy buffs

but i dont have chaos resist yet

so i could choose that i suppose

[safe lance]

it is build dependent

[normal ibex]

chaos resist is a myth

[frosty light]

havent came across monster which does chaos dmg yet, is that end game?

[safe lance]

As they said if you are planning on going chaos inoculation, then you dont need chaos res

[trim turret]

You have, you just maybe haven't noticed. Green and purple shit is usually chaos.

[normal ibex]

is that the one that leaves you on 1 hp?

[safe lance]

yes I think in acts we only see poison, drowning and maybe some chaos plants in act 3 but will need more res in endgame.

[plush mantle]

lot of Act 3 monsters do, Viper especially

[frosty light]

aight dope ty

[meager flower]

Amigo, or anyone else with POE exp, if you can look at this guy's boss rotation for 10 seconds, is there any other easier way for me to shock the boss without having to use an offhand bow with Stormcaller Arrow?
https://youtu.be/1pt0VMMWaCc?si=9qpK6vuk8U3QhiMA&t=1406

Stormcaller arrow has an "Arrow" tab and a "Bolt" tab. Bolts are the crossbow arrows, but the skill doesn;t work with crossbows

[trim turret]

I mean technically any lightning skill pretty much can shock. That setup was designed with weapon swapping in mind. If you don't want to do weapon swapping, you'll need to find or design something else. I don't know what would be easier.

[plush mantle]

the "bolt" on Stormcaller is the lightning bolt that hits the arrow. They should probably clarify that in the gem text though

[woven wraith]

wrong channel my b

[haughty niche]

Im assuming he chose stormcaller arrow cause of the 800% more chance to shock, basically guaranteeing one at that point

plus it has a high attack damage modifier of 140-437%

[frosty light]

lol wtf is this?

dropped in act 6

[fierce panther]

its all the stats

more is better right

[frosty light]

level 11 though?

good for a twink maybe?

[fierce panther]

for all your "I only play characters to act 2 normal" needs

[haughty niche]

surely at some point having 1000 of nothing-stats becomes good. Up to you if thats worth it

[vale bolt]

Hey All, quick question.

I have a friend level 84 walking me through the campaign on a new character. We both have downscaling enabled. I invited him to my instance. How-ever i am not getting the amount of xp i think i should be getting.

[fierce panther]

that is fun to think about. If an item had literally every single stat on it, how low could those stats be and still be a desirable piece. The number is lower than infinite and higher than zero....so what would it be

[vale bolt]

We just entered cruel and i am only level 10. Does that seem normal?

[fierce panther]

are you being carried?

[vale bolt]

yes

he is level 84

[haughty niche]

do you have level downscaling turned off?

[vale bolt]

we both have it on

[haughty niche]

that applies a massive exp penalty to the lower lvl char if its off

[vale bolt]

It is currently enabled for both of us in our settings.

[haughty niche]

But also if you are too far away from the area level you wil experience a scaling exp penalty

[meager flower]

Fair enough, and I presure that 1 or 2 arrows are enough to shock the boss since it has 800% or whatnot shock chance?

[haughty niche]

staying within around 3-5 lvls of the area lvl should avoid that penalty

[grave crystal]

do ppl really have 1400 divines, i saw an item listed for that much

[normal ibex]

so charm resistance only works when triggered right? so if you have max res or close to, its functionally useless?

[vale bolt]

theres a penalty for being too low level ?

[haughty niche]

yes

to prevent specifically what you are doing lol

[vale bolt]

oooo lol

ok thank you.

[haughty niche]

They want powerlevelling to be difficult if done at all

Just have to go back to areas nearer to your level and you will start getting xp again

[trim turret]

Yep that's why its chosen.

[vale bolt]

but we started at the beginning. so not sure why it wouldn't just be scaling with me the whole way.

i am getting xp just not at the rate i think it should.

[meager flower]

Are there any very very high shock chance spells that I can put down instead (like Orb of Storms or whatnot) to shock the boss instead and also to Cast on Shock Conductivity + Voltaic Mark?

[haughty niche]

well whats the area level?

[vale bolt]

45 and am i level 10.

[meager flower]

Thank you for the clarification

[haughty niche]

in poe1 thats the penalty for characters below lvl 95 if you are outside the safezone

[safe lance]

you basically need to play the game all over gain

[vale bolt]

started the campaign and only got 10 levels through the whole first 3 acts

[safe lance]

just enable default level downscaling.

[vale bolt]

yea it has been the whole time

[safe lance]

its not gonna be that hard for the level 80s player, they will still be pretty strong.

[safe lance]

that doesnt sound right, can you check? The instance creator has to have it disabled from what I realized in couch coop

[trim turret]

Dunno check the wiki, I don't know off the top of my head. You also need +1 to max curses to use conductivity and voltaic mark together.

[haughty niche]

Idk if exp penalty is the same in poe2 but the images i posted should cover roughly how to stay getting xp

[vale bolt]

I am the instance creater.

it has to be disabled?

[safe lance]

Like if I have 1 char with it enabled and other with disabled, sometimes if the second char creates the instance, it ends up being disabled. So I just went and made sure it was enabled on all chars.

This is in couch coop specifically*

[trim turret]

Or try to cut an uncut gem and search for skills with the word shock in them using the search bar.

[vale bolt]

we have it enabled so no xp penalty. you are saying ti disable it?

[safe lance]

no, enabled is correct

level 10 sounds very off tho

I played with my high level char with my wife on couch coop and she was gaining levels decently

[vale bolt]

yea 10 is wayyy off

[safe lance]

We are currently on evenly leveled chars so I cant really notice.

[haughty niche]

Using the exp penalty formula, i got this number, so this is smaller than 0.01 so you are likely getting a 0.01x exp multiplier for being 35 lvls off

[safe lance]

I might even have VODs. I'll check

Maybe dowscaling was disabled at some point yeah

Unfortunately this carry defeated the purpose as you have to go do low level areas again and can still only equip gear with level 10 requirements

[delicate geode]

im dead and when trying to resurrect it says "you do not have required quest state" anyone know a fix?

[haughty niche]

act 2 area? idk the fix but it is bugged in an early area of act 2

[plush mantle]

there's also a range limitation to getting exp. If your party memeber is blasting though the whole zone and not letting you keep up with them, then you're not going to get any exp when they're ~2 screens away or more

[sour pebble]

You can force yourself to revive by logging off and on

[normal ibex]

start area of act 2? exit game is only fix

[delicate geode]

yeah during the rathbreaker bossfiight

[vale bolt]

yikessss ok

[normal ibex]

youd think theyd fix that one in a hurry tbh

[golden bay]

is there anyone here with a 900 es body armourand can let me test my mana with it?

[delicate geode]

guess i should just gop to bed then lol

[trim turret]

Gotta figure out a fix first.

[desert sedge]

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

[trim turret]

Bug fixing isn't clicking a fix bug button.

[plush mantle]

only thing I heard that works (sometimes) is to waypoint to a new Act (likely Act 1 since you don't have access to others) and then waypoint back to the zone. Logging out/reloading the client generally does NOT work due to the aggressive saving in PoE2

[haughty niche]

ive only had one case where this happened in my programming career and i dont want to talk about it

[sour pebble]

my advice is do not die

[haughty niche]

solid advice. Sometimes difficult to follow though

[normal ibex]

99% of bugs are stupid one line issues that your brain skips while reading code 😛

[sour pebble]

Don't ever, for any reason, die any time, to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you've been, ever, for any reason whatsoever.

[wise hatch]

Hi I was just doing the City of Seven waters quest in act 2 and it says I have not completed it even though I have, I am not sure what to do

[haughty niche]

in a party?

you can reset instances of areas by ctrl+clicking on them from the enterence or waypoint

[sacred sable]

Hello! What are the effects under peoples feet? Is that gear or cosmetic?

[meager flower]

Any chance I can return this item to Normal rarity?

[haughty niche]

there are footprint cosmetics. Idk what that is but looks like either blasphemy or a skill effect

i believe its blasphemy

[haughty niche]

no, not in poe2.

[plush mantle]

did you portal out right after using the fire? instead of waiting for the water to drop? 🙂

[wise hatch]

No I didn't, I even talked to Zarka to give her the item.

But now it is telling me to do it again

[undone steeple]

How do I do the trial of sekhemas on cruel?

[plush mantle]

you don't, unless you skipped Trial of Chaos

[undone steeple]

I mean like how do I get the rest of my Ascendancy points?

[plush mantle]

hmm...you can try waypoint to another act and back to see if it resets your quest state, but Act 2 seems be flakey on quest progression since the patch

[crude quest]

How do you unlock the 3rd slot for gems on skills?

[plush mantle]

The Ascendancy Point tooltip in the top right of the passive tree window has the details

[left reef]

Lesser jewellers orb

[wise hatch]

I did try that and it still says to do it again, so I think that is what I am going to do. Hopefully this time it won't break.

[crude quest]

Where do you get that orb from?

I am in Act 2

[plush mantle]

Boss room is always in the same relative area for that zone, so you can get there quickly if you remember where it was

[plush mantle]

the guarenteed drops aren't until Act 3

[wise hatch]

Yeah thanks that's a really good tip.

[half schooner]

anyone constantly getting kicked to the menu today? every few minutes I get pushed to the menu screen with an error saying "an unexpected disconnection occurred." Normally when I load back in, im still in the instance and the game is paused exactly where it was when I got kicked. Unfortunately with the chaos temple, it kicks me back to the beginning. I dont have enough time to finish two levels to unlock my ascendency

before today, no issues..

[plush mantle]

can you try another gateway?

[half schooner]

I did try another gateway and it did not help. I only tried one other one though

[twilit junco]

Hey all, i have a quick question. Can I earn all of my ascendancy points from running the Chaos Trials vice the other one?

[plush mantle]

yep

[twilit junco]

THANK GOD, i;m sick of getting screwed over by traps on the other one.

[plush mantle]

instead you can get screwed by the really bad choices you're given halfway though the run! 😉

or, you know, the frickin chimera deciding that it's needs to be airborne as much as possible and you're a melee build...but I'm not bitter! 😭

[twilit junco]

i was given no choice but to take 25% slow at the very start of the SEK trial...yeah its pretty much a wrap if you going for the third ascendancy

[plucky oriole]

Does anyone know why some time flash and make a sound humming sound in stash?

[cinder rover]

What item gets rid of the worst suffix?

[waxen osprey]

can I get the 4th ascendency point by doing 3 floor sekhema + 7 trial ultimatum or do I need to fully complete a 4 floor / 10 trial run?

[plush mantle]

Omen of Whittling, if "worst" you mean "lowest level affix (not tier, level)"

[plush mantle]

there's no partial credit, if that's what you're asking

[viral cairn]

The tool tip will tell you if a token will give you ascendancy points if you complete it. You have to fully finish either the 4th Sekhema, or 4th Chaos, no mixing and matching lower levels (unless ya just want to farm em)

[meager flower]

Is there any way to set only Blink to a separate key from Dodge?

[sour pebble]

no, blink replaces dodge

[plush mantle]

nope, it replaces your dodge

there's no "but I don't want to blink this time!"

[meager flower]

Then is there any way to see when it is available? 😄

[sour pebble]

buff bar shows the cooldown

[robust ocean]

So I've been trying to finish ancient vows the last two days.

I got one half of the relic from bone pits already. But have done so many Keth runs now and haven't seen the other half. Do you guys remember where you found the 2nd piece?

[modest laurel]

is there a way to open the gem menu without an uncut gem?

like the one that shows every gem

[normal ibex]

is this the quest one or a random drop from an area boss?
https://i.imgur.com/5IFYNE7.png

[sour pebble]

From Keth. Could it be you got the item before and it's already in the altar in valley of the titans?

[ember sinew]

Are PoE ninja and those sites, already with PoE 2 pasive trees, or websites still not up to date?
Coz the only option for guides now, is Yt :/

[sour pebble]

the builds are on mobalytics and maxroll atm

but pob just released so soon there will be guides through PoBs

[sharp light]

are kitoko gloves the best unique for spark sorceress?

[heavy pendant]

anyone know how I can fix this? I've tried going to another area and back, re launching the game, but neither worked

[sour pebble]

they're extremely strong for surviving in maps, but it's subjective whether or not they're the best

i use them on my level 95 sorc

other people dont use them since they dont feel the added safety is useful given how much damage they already deal to stuff

[meager flower]

Are there any instant cast skills in this game? like Blink is? 😄

I know it is a very odd question but I have very good reasons

I will explain why if I make it work 😄

[plush mantle]

Blink isn't either, has a .7 sec cast time 🙂

[meager flower]

fair point, but the question stands ;D

[plush mantle]

but no, no instants, and Temporalis was changed in the last patch so that it can't make things instant either

[meager flower]

how about 0.7 seconds? 😄

[plush mantle]

Curses are 0.7 by default

[tired forge]

Quick currency question:

At what level minimum does Divine orbs drop?

[plush mantle]

35

[meager flower]

Do you know if Blink benefits from Arcane Tempo or any cast speed gems/passives?

[plush mantle]

it should, but I haven't played with Blink. Too expensive in spirit cost for something that only works sometimes and the weapon swap thing seems really clunky

[meager flower]

<cough> <cough> "6th finger" second weapon set <cough> very nice QoL if I can fix the silly weapon swap with an instant skill before blink <cough>

[scenic bloom]

Heya. Currently using a combination of Iron Grasp and one of the gemling legionnaires ascension skills to deal rougly 400% increased dmg with attacks, and it's amazing. However, I am wondering: Would you consider the loss of max life to be acceptable? Since I would likely have to make up for it with other armor traits, would I loose more then I gained?

[urban flame]

600 POINTS: MOST EFFICIENT STASH TAB PURCHASE

Gem Stash Tab (30) - Delirium Stash Tab (30) - Currency Stash Tab (60) - 6x Premium Stash Tab (165) - Essence Stash Tab (30) - Premium Quad Stash Tab (120) + Map Stash Tab (120) = 555

Gem Stash Tab (30) - Delirium Stash Tab (30) - Currency Stash Tab (60) - 2x Premium Upgrade (20) - Essence Stash Tab (30) - Premium Quad Stash Tab (120) + Map Stash Tab (120) = 410

I came up with these two different packages. The prices are their discounted values, and I assume the Map Stash Tab will be 120 points when discounted.

Do you think it is necessary to purchase the 6x Premium Stash Tab Bundle at the beginning? Instead, I created a 410-point package with 2 Premium Upgrades that is more cost-efficient.

I didn’t consider buying the Flask Stash Tab since it doesn’t seem very profitable, and I don’t think it’s necessary for now. If needed, it could be purchased later for 30 points.

Can you create a more optimized package for players with 600 points?

Sorry If I post this to wrong channel, I can move it if necessary.

[austere tree]

when refunding passives how can remove this current line and make new one ? it will not let me to break the line

[rugged dome]

U had to remove since the last

until the one u one to kept

[austere tree]

but I cant as I have no skill points i first need to remove

[rugged dome]

cant be braches i think

u had to remove all

since the last u have in the line

backards

[austere tree]

so you telling me i need to remove like 8 points elsewhere towards the end of the line, to make a new line so I can remove this line and then put back those 8 points i removed elsehwere 😄

very human design 😄

[rugged dome]

yeah

[austere tree]

thats dumb 😄

[rugged dome]

Thats why u had to see guides and stuff

[tropic scroll]

how long maintenance done ?

[clever geode]

Wait for sales?

[meager flower]

@plush mantle do you know we can choose different bonuses from vials in act 3 and 6? (or any other choice I don't remember)

[urban flame]

That's already discounted prices, Ofc I'll wait for it. I'm just asking what to buy at the sales. Read first

[clever geode]

Oo

I cant rmb quad price

[urban flame]

165 maybeee ?

No 150

[clever geode]

Tbh u dont need quad u can just get normal/ premium

Quad is just for lazy people like me

[urban flame]

What If I'm too lazy too

I'm planning to use it for my showcase, I mean I'll put everything here for sale

Maybe I can skip to buying premium upgrades for now

[normal ibex]

i bought a quad in case i wanted to trade in the future, the rest are just normal

[daring dirge]

does concentrated and magnified effect stack?
IE get the same area with the +40% damage bonus?

[urban flame]

Stash tabs can sometimes be necessary, other than that, I agree that they are not as satisfying as purchasing cosmetics. However, regular stash tabs definitely increase the enjoyment you get from the game... My opinions

[clever geode]

For storage yes

For selling maybe no

[clever geode]

Yes?

[normal ibex]

meh, cosmetics are fairly pointless outside of earned/achieved versions

[clever geode]

U can just slot them in and see dps increase

[clever geode]

Wrong
Fashion is the true end game
Path of Fashion

[steep plover]

Just started act 2, got to the first boss and when I died (skill issue) I just can’t respawn? Says “you do not have the required quest state” and I have to relogin to even get back to the fight

[clever geode]

First time saw

This bug

[steep plover]

Am I brain damaged or is this a new thing

[clever geode]

I assume u play solo

[steep plover]

Yuh

[clever geode]

On oc

Pc

[steep plover]

Yeah

[clever geode]

Yeah first time see this bug

[steep plover]
