[clever geode]

Dont he have es or something?

[rancid lintel]

not too sure i'm kinda newbie

[winter patio]

worth exchange armor scrap for greater orb? 💀

[rancid lintel]

what r the best movement settings

[clever geode]

Wasd

[clever geode]

Just check and math it out

Most common currency traded is ex

[plush mantle]

use weighted sum, put the resistances you want in, set the minimum for the category. Sort results by sum

[long sequoia]

why do all the builds i check recommend a cresent quarterstaff? like why not gothic or steelpoint instead? I'm gonna go with ice lightning hybrid build so is there any advantages of crescent over the other two? or is it just a base staff they give to show the sub stats you need

[plush mantle]

cresent is the fastest attack speed

[meager galleon]

its likely that the way they planned the build, its the best base

[long sequoia]

ohhh okay, thanks! I haven't really seen any vendors sell crescent recently and was wondering if it was only early game drop

[plush mantle]

vendors refresh each time you level, and the town vendors tend to sell whatever bases are relevant to the act you're in. So from level 30ish to 55, you're not going to see very many on the vendor

it's fine to use the highest damage quarterstaff you find while leveling; shopping for bases is too min/max when you won't see very many

[gritty ivy]

I keep on dying in the map of the abomination boss in Act 2, anything I'm doing wrong here?

[flat fog]

hi

can anyone help me

[daring dragon]

Just drop your question

[flat fog]

i have 30 ex i need help build this https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/4vmtc016

[wild igloo]

what help

[daring dragon]

Then go to the trade site and start looking for affordable items with mods similar to what the guide says.

[wild igloo]

yea you have a guide just follow it

[flat fog]

i have no dps

[low parcel]

guys if i use omen of whittling (chaos orb will remove lowest level modifier) will be remove the fire resis am i right? or am i need to use only suffix removal omen too

[daring dragon]

Do you expect someone to shop for you?

[flat fog]

i am new

can som one help

[daring dragon]

Iirc the omen should tell you which mod it will target before applying it.

[flat fog]

?

[daring dragon]

I saw some screenshot where the targeted mod was like actually highlighted.

[lament stone]

hold alt on the item and itll show all the mod tiers on the right side

[lament stone]

just ask

[daring dragon]

He did

[wild igloo]

30 ex not gonna get you anywhere. go make a cheap build and farm more resource I suggest witch

[lament stone]

or if its not a question #2┃looking-for-group

[daring dragon]

^

He wants help shopping

[lament stone]

oh

[lament stone]

yea basically this then

youd start with the uniques, then get a decent weapon, then youd just start looking for gear with resists to cap your resists, making sure it also has good life and other relevant stats (in this case energy shield)

[flat fog]

i did all of that and no dps

[lament stone]

this is an archmage build, how much mana do you have?

i shouldve added mana to the above message too

[lament stone]

mana is really important for archmage, especially with spark, its where all your damage comes from

[lament stone]

that has no increased damage on it

[half schooner]

is there a good way to get uncut spirit gems?

[lament stone]

its just rng

[half schooner]

rip. really need one to finish my build and didnt realize how rare they are when I used the 2 i had

oh well. back to the grind. thanks 🙂

[flat fog]

i am just going do a new build

[stark lynx]

You get a few as quest rewards, but yeah kill more mobs

Having a filter will help to not miss them if they drop

Seeing the 50th lvl 3 support gem started to be jarring

[daring dragon]

Trading

[carmine fiber]

nice

[flat fog]

@daring dragon is Poisonous Concoction good

[light bronze]

Hello, are characters stuck to 1 difficulty ?

Was choosing normal difficulty a mistake ?

[meager galleon]

there arent really difficulties like that in poe

hardcore and ssf are modifiers, it doesnt change enemy balance

they just impose an extra challenge on you, with hardcore meaning you cant die

and ssf that you cant trade

[light bronze]

Oooh i see

I thought it was separed servers

Thanks

[meager galleon]

they are separate leagues

or realms

however you wanna call it

ppl in hardcore cant interact with ppl in not hardcore

and so on

[stark lynx]

Ssf and trade characters cant interact

[fair stream]

looking for a wave clear skill for my lighting monk any ideas?

[light bronze]

Oh yeah makes sense

[fair stream]

something like flicker but lighting based?

[meager galleon]

there is nothing else like flicker

[fair stream]

anyway to make it lighting instead od cold dmg? or could it work fine for my lighting based build?

im following this now https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/v326e0lt

[ionic urchin]

Sorry to interrupt, but Should i go Conc or poison arrow Pathfinder ? Is one massivley Stronger than the other ?

[meager galleon]

well flicker by itself has no dmg type, it uses whatever your weapon does

[sacred pond]

What would be the DK (Death Knight from WoW) equivalent in PoE2 ? I want to facetank jesus and survive with no scratches, i wanr insane self healing, basically what is the DK of PoE2 ?

[meager galleon]

so if you figure out how to generate power charges with lightning dmg, you can make it work

[fluid heart]

just to double check, the ritual witch/mage on act 1 cruel doesn't give permanent spirit?

[stark lynx]

Dont think there is such thing atm, mobs are dangerous

[sacred pond]

Is warrior the closest thing to DK ?

[meager galleon]

correct

[fluid heart]

thanks

[meager galleon]

in cruel only in act3

[fair stream]

perfect thank you!

[meager galleon]

that gives you 40, for a total of 100 base

[fluid heart]

okay perfect then, thank you

[fair stream]

just the strike thing thats all haha could flciker gen charges? with a buff

[meager galleon]

dont know, didnt look into flicker builds yet

[boreal peak]

need some help

I just unlocked combat frenzy but I am lacking the spirit to get it activated

[late raft]

Combat frenzy if you use charged staff too or cold infused staff maybe

[meager galleon]

like you have no spirit at all, or you have not enough to add combat frenzy ?

[boreal peak]

not at all

[meager galleon]

you get your first 30 spirit as quest reward in act1 in the feythorn zone

[boreal peak]

I have herald of ice

So yea, I have 30

I need other 30

[meager galleon]

so next 30 is in act3

[amber crypt]

kill mobs

[meager galleon]

or you need to get more on items

chest or amulets can have + spirit

and scepters, but i'm guessing you cant use a scepter

[half schooner]

I havent unlocked the one I really need yet unfortunately. good to know though, ive only seen spirit on chest

[zenith peak]

After act 3, whats the point of playing

[meager galleon]

as in normal act3?

[fair stream]

i tried combat freny before my charges turned in to differnent ones haha no idea why it was red balls around me

[zenith peak]

Yes

[meager galleon]

yeah you need to repeat the acts once more to reach endgame, the repetition is a temporary solution to be at correct lvl for endgame before the other 3 acts are added

and there is a lot of content in endgame

these games are primarily about the endgame grind

[zenith peak]

So after i reach act 3 again, then end game with new content

[midnight bough]

for my 2nd ascendancy points do i need to do 10 wave trial of chaos?

[meager galleon]

yeah, then the atlas unlocks for you

[zenith peak]

4

[midnight bough]

I keep loading in and its 10 waves

[zenith peak]

Ok thnx

[meager galleon]

and atlas has some mechanics and content you dont see in acts

[meager galleon]

like breach and rituals

[flat pewter]

whats better, %spell damage increase or % of damage as extra lightning damage ?

[meager galleon]

if you only did the first floor of sekhemas

[stark lynx]

depends on other existing stats

[meager galleon]

that will give you another 2 points

[stark lynx]

generally gain as extra is only notably valuable when its the same dmg type you are mainly dealing already

[midnight bough]

hmmm i cant remember what i did

[meager galleon]

how many ascedancy points do you have ?

[midnight bough]

i have another djin barya thing - but it says itll give none

i have 2

[meager galleon]

then that ultimatum will get you 2

[midnight bough]

the chaos one or the djin?

[meager galleon]

for sekhemas (djin) its 2 points per floor

but the chaos one quest = 2 floor djin

[midnight bough]

ah, how many floors?

[daring dragon]

This might help

[midnight bough]

Thanks

Im confused why these insribed ultimatums, says 4 trials but have 10 waves?

are they diff things?

[stark lynx]

4 trials would be 4 rooms

on ultomato

[midnight bough]

but i load into temple chaos and it 10 :/

[stark lynx]

weird, do you actually go for the whole 10?

[midnight bough]

yea thats why i keep failing

can i leave early?

lol

[stark lynx]

the 1st ultimatum stuff you do should end when you kill the 1st boss

[midnight bough]

i do again and get screenshot

[glacial palm]

It will say 10 in the map, but you shouldn't be able to do more than the ultimatum said when you went in.

[rancid lintel]

just unlocked ascendency im deadeye to i try and get to wind ward first or endless munitions

[light bronze]

hey i have seen a build on mobalytics and some links to nodes are green and pink

why is that ?

[meager galleon]

weapon set points

the tree switches between those based on which weapon set you are using

and skills are then associated with weapon set, so it switches to the tree thats benefical

[light bronze]

oh alright

does that mean i have to get certain specific weapon bonuses for the build to be viable ?

[meager galleon]

that depends on the build

[light bronze]

alright thanks

this game seems really complex

[meager galleon]

it is

and it will just get more complex as it goes forward

[light bronze]

i always liked a challenge

[meager galleon]

well, you came to the right game then :)

[clever geode]

It says 10 but you only can do 4

[glacial palm]

You're here at the right time then.
They're just getting up and running, deep end isn't too deep 😅

Lot easier to play when you get to see each system get added on top.

[polar elbow]

ok so i never played poe 1 and started poe2 on hardcore curently lvl 21 and i dont know if i should use the uncut gems to get abilites or save them all to level up 1 ability that i really like what do u guys think i should do

[daring dragon]

You get plenty of uncut skill gems so no need to safe them

Obviously lvling up your skills will be good in most cases.

[polar elbow]

oh shit ty bro ive started to struggle killing the mobs with just basic attacks

[maiden spindle]

Are servers down? I can’t get into the game

[rancid lintel]

is pilar of the caged god staff good or smth?

getting a lot of dms for it

[eager basin]

build defining unique

[runic palm]

whats the strongest leveling build for mercinary? like act 1-3

[rancid lintel]

how much should i sell it?

[eager basin]

don't know, check prices for uncorrupted ones on trade

[daring dragon]

#price-check📉

[rancid lintel]

apologies how do i look up uncorrupted on the poe2trade site?

[eager basin]

left side, misc filters

[fluid heart]

I bought mine at 50ex but it was a corrupted 3 runes
I think the normal one goes around 20ex but maybe the price has gone up with all the recent video guide? you can ask at the church of gemling

[rancid lintel]

a normal uncorrupted w no runes?

[upper jungle]

hi guys does it matter what level of wazpoint i put in the merchants_

[fair stream]

Is that staff the best for monk?

[eager basin]

there is no such thing

[fluid heart]

ah nevermind, it was with attack speed rune, not sure what's the normal price then sorry

[fluid heart]

not monk, it's the best staff for gemling attribute stacking build

[rancid lintel]

im pretty noob only in act 2 so obv exalts will do a lot for me so tryna sell it as reasonable as i can i updated it to 4 and i'm still getting messages for it

would it be because the one i found has no lvl req?

only req is 10 dex

[fluid heart]

nah, it doesn't have lvl req or very little irc

it's hard to tell you the correct price because there's a lot of fake listing

just keep increasing the price if you're getting instant mp

[rancid lintel]

i see a lot of listings for cheap that's why i'm so confused haha

[pulsar spruce]

Yeah people list stuff really really low so they can get a dopamine hit when they get a DM to buy it. 🤣

[fluid heart]

nah it's to lower the price market and bait peps to sell under value

[rancid lintel]

lmao no way

[gritty ivy]

Which venom to take?

[daring dragon]

Depends on your build. Mana reg and elemental ailment threshold are the popular choices.

[rancid lintel]

oh well sold it for 6 that's the most ex i've held in one go haha

[fluid heart]

gg

[rancid lintel]

should i hold onto my ex or try find better gear for myself i feel like at lvl 30 it might be a waste idk

or buy skill and sup gems for myself

idk if that'll make a huge diff in my dps

[pulsar spruce]

I wouldn't recommend buying skill or support gems. Soon you'll have more than you could ever need. Just keep playing and you should get all you need.

[rancid lintel]

ah okay ty ty

[pulsar spruce]

But yes leveling your skills is like the #1-2 way to increase damage.

[meager flower]

Does anyone know which stats matter for Golden Charm? I presume Charges Gained matter but... what else?

[fluid heart]

imo the only thing a new player would need to buy with ex, at price 1ex only are: boots with better movement speed and if you play a physical dmg build a ring with leech

[rancid lintel]

yh i bought myself a wanderlust but in terms of rest of gear i wasn't too sure bc fubguns leveling build just suggests all the same gear through all acts

it's not till like act 6 he says to switch to his other guide

but even now i feel like i get folded a lot

[fluid heart]

well don't hesitate to ask here if you feel like your gear is really lacking

oh and a good weapon when your dmg is lacking is a good thing to buy too, not too often tho

[light bronze]

how the hell do i survive this madness

[light bough]

Dodge and pray

[radiant nebula]

which is the best way to make the hardcore game trying to not die, any advice?

[normal ibex]

run around the edge of teh fog, and listen to the voice of the enemy

[daring dragon]

Pay attention to the dialog. He will jump out the fog briefly after ending his sentence.

[wooden crane]

When he tells the story there are times where he goes silent between sentences thats when he attacks and u need to dodge

[stark lynx]

by pressing dodge roll approriately

[light bronze]

oooh alright thank you all

[stark lynx]

what are you even asking

[wooden crane]

How rare are support skill gems meant to be since act 3 ive had none and now im currently at the drowed city and just cant be sure if its a bug or not with this game

[rancid lintel]

appreciate you

i should be picking up all the white gear i see with quality on it right

[daring dragon]

During the campaign there will be a period where you will see less. You will soon start seeing them more often again.

[daring dragon]

Yes, same goes for items with sockets. Salvage both of those things at the salvage bench.

[light bronze]

this geonor bastard is annoying as hell

his ice bombing stuff has a big hitbox

[scenic salmon]

Geonor might be the most PoE 2 fight in the game

[wooden crane]

Its a little weird timing for me on act 3 managed to get 2 uniques and a vaal orb before ive even got another support gem

[light bronze]

i'l come back to this furry asshole later

[rancid lintel]

just beat jamra and got my first chaos orb in poe2 lmao

[boreal peak]

Help please, I am bugged here and I can't close the trial nor open it again

[pulsar spruce]

Yeah he took me the most tries out of any boss.

[earnest shore]

Take out the coin and then put back in

[boreal peak]

nothing changes

[tropic scroll]

question about gemling legionnaire +10 quality on gem , does it icrease if i put a vaal on skill gem

[eager basin]

what does this mean

corruption would not have any effect on the ascendancy skill

[tropic scroll]

cause it seems like u can corruption skill gem

but gemling legionnaire got a skill increase +10% quality on skill gem

does in increase ?

[eager basin]

[tropic scroll]

since corruption doesnt able adjust the modifier

[fair stream]

When do we start to be able to upgrade gen quality if that's even possible in this game

[eager basin]

when you start dropping gcps

[tropic scroll]

gcps ?

[fair stream]

Are the gems cutter things?

[eager basin]

the skill gem being corrupted doesn't prevent the ascendancy passive from working, if that's what you're asking

[tropic scroll]

yes

sorry my english XD

[boreal peak]

Please someone help me please

[fluid heart]

gem quality? you use gemcutter on it tho it's not essential on most build

[tropic scroll]

i come back once my lvl is high XD

[fair stream]

Okay great thank you, does it increase the att I need to use the skill or is that just for leveling

[boreal peak]

I cant close the door

And I cant enter it

[tropic scroll]

oooo relogin ?

[boreal peak]

doesn't solve it

[fluid heart]

you can check what does increasing the quality of the gem do by hovering you mouse on the gem and pressing alt

[viscid drift]

@boreal peak Did you try Turning it on and off?

[tropic scroll]

take that thing out

[boreal peak]

yes and nothing happened

[fair stream]

Oh shit nice thank you! I saw if you hold shift on the passive tree it shows you the increase damage also 😮

Maybe not shift but something

[viscid drift]

I Meant your PC 😛

[boreal peak]

I am going to try

[fluid heart]

yeah, shift, alt, ctrl are important on PoE, it's not very well explained

[tropic scroll]

any idea ? does it prevent working or it will working ?

[eager basin]

it will still work

[boreal peak]

nothing, its bugged

[fair stream]

Also for a monk, the staff DPS is that the total of flat damage it has right or not?

This DPS number

[fluid heart]

above the price you have the total dps, dps physical and dps elemental

[fair stream]

Blind sorry lol

But in game

[fluid heart]

oh

[fluid heart]

it doesn't really show the dps in game, only the damage range and you'll have to do calc for the dps
or you can equip it and check on gems your dps on your staff without rune I guess

[glacial palm]

You also need to factor in attack speed and crit for a base dps.
Easiest way to check it would be a basic attack.

[winged quiver]

Carrion call focus lesgoo

yippiee

perfect for my witch

[normal ibex]

i think that would nerf my minions lol

[scenic salmon]

Minion life DD stocks are up

[frozen vapor]

Who's to choose: pathfinder or deadeye?

[loud dew]

sorry i need help with a boss

the colosus boss just stop taking damage haft way of the fight

[shut abyss]

really? hold on i'll login

/invite mopparii

[scenic salmon]

Does deadeye frenzy passives work with power charges if you have resonance

[echo rivet]

Hello everyone.

I hope you all are doing good.

I got the game, and honestly I am a bit too worried about never playing an arpg. I dunno what to do and where to start. Is there a guide or yt video or anything that you can suggest me?

[shut abyss]

if it grants charges i don't see why not

[loud dew]

thank moppari

way better than Elon Musk

[tropic cave]

anybody got PoB for warrior levelling?

[shut abyss]

i'm not sure about the videos, i'm sure there is plenty but tldr is
don't ignore resistances(75% is the cap)
keep your weapon upgraded, rest of the gear ofc
vendors reset every level and you should use the orbs of augment and alternation
so:
big damage weapon!
resistances
life
movement speed!
maxroll has some nice leveling guides that also tell you why and what
#1308715317375270952

[humble vale]

What does this symbol mean? Did I miss something

[loud dew]

is there a guide for Monk passive build?

[shut abyss]

unfinishes random side quest/random loot, nothing too important or map is bugging and showing it as so

[shut abyss]

maxroll

[humble vale]

how do I find it....

[echo rivet]

Thank you for the tips. Much needed. I will check the link you shared. Also, any builds that I can use? I mean is there a build that I should go for. I personally like spawners, like a witch or sth. Suggest me sth

[shut abyss]

idk which one that is but it's somewhere in the map

[shut abyss]

if you like summoners then witch is the one https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-infernalist-leveling-guide

[lament niche]

hello guys i'm actually starting the act 1 cruel someoen want help^

?

[echo rivet]

One question. Why is maxroll being suggested a lot. I want to know if he is a good source or sth

[echo rivet]

Also is there another varient of witch. I will compare bw two and pick one i am just curious

[shut abyss]

i feel like maxroll has better explained simple reliable builds

[echo rivet]

Thanks. I will check it out

[shut abyss]

i'd use that maxroll i linked as a "base" and then you can experiment as much as you like and you can always revert back to that guide

[echo rivet]

It's easy to be overwhelmed if not played arpg before 😅

[echo rivet]

Got it.also i can change nodes in game right?

[normal ibex]

some caveats but yes

[shut abyss]

yep, it's tad expensive on your first playtrough but you can, you're mostly going to take minion damage and some kind of resistance anyway so they shouldn't differ that much guide to guide

[lament niche]

any good witch here^

?

[swift rapids]

kinda tied to something

[fair stream]

Yeah this is where Pob comes in lmao

[echo rivet]

Noted

[shut abyss]

it's one of those annoying goblin looking things that lasso you and you ran too far from it without killing it so it's forever stuck with you, well, atleast until you change zones

[swift rapids]

that thing is dead thats the fun part

[eager basin]

I think that happened to me in that exact area as well

[shut abyss]

same..same

[cursive bluff]

Only if you know how to use it haha I have 500 hours in poe1 with using pob for all of that and I still couldn't manually add stuff to see any changes lol

[cursive bluff]

Fun fact they can actually bug out and give you the perma slow/action speed even after killing them I had it recently where even the air time for leap slam was slower lol

[tropic scroll]

is there a support gem help plasma blast charging faster

[cursive bluff]

Unsure of the tags but fast forward supp is for less duration if that works?

[loud dew]

i hope they sell Sekhema Asala dress as comestic

[eager basin]

wtf is plasma blast

[daring dragon]

A crossbow skill

[craggy gyro]

hey, does it matter which one I choose from this?

[cursive bluff]

I was thinking they meant molten strike lul

[daring dragon]

#2┃looking-for-group

[tropic scroll]

https://pathofexile2.wiki.fextralife.com/Plasma+Blast pew pew skill

[eager basin]

fextralife

[shut abyss]

avoid afflictions, try to get boons or water or merchant or honor if you need it

[cursive bluff]

Yes some give you debuffs which lasts for every room

[tropic scroll]

that skill give 150% item rarerity

LOL

[shut abyss]

nimble reload

[cursive bluff]

You're following fex that's why you have questions haha

[daring dragon]

Thats just your general item rarity

[radiant nebula]

The Hardcore game it's not fair sometimes in early game and it's really hard move on, some advice I am a rookie in this game

[daring dragon]

Damn if true that's nice

Need to test this

[tropic scroll]

si try martial tempo seems faster

[cursive bluff]

That's the whole point of HARDcore

[shut abyss]

why not both?

[tropic scroll]

i did try both

but same effect with the +25% attack speed

[daring dragon]

So both atk speed and reload speed affect charge time?

Til

[tropic scroll]

nope

only attack speepd

[daring dragon]

Then nimble reload doesn't work at all

[tropic scroll]

tahts only for reload

cause normal reload was 1 sec

[silk frigate]

Hey guys, which charm should i pick i just completed a mission on act 1

[shut abyss]

cold res

[daring dragon]

I assumed you meant the actual charge of plasma blast.

[cursive bluff]

Whichever you think you may need

[daring dragon]

Not the cooldown

[tropic scroll]

nope

the charging part

[shut abyss]

but but he doesn't know that the act boss deals cold damage yet

[cursive bluff]

They could also have some cold resistance where fire mobs on the way to boss might get them

[silk frigate]

What’s the most damage i’m gonna face in the next area that’s the charm i will go for

[tropic scroll]

cold resist

u need cold resist for the act 1 final boss

[silk frigate]

Cold res it’s then thanks everyone

[cursive bluff]

The end boss of act 1 is cold so if by the time you get there and you have low cold resistance cold would be best however you will face other bosses and smaller enemies/rares which might give you more of a harder time

[normal ibex]

is the charm even any use if you have maxed resistances?

[tropic scroll]

ya , dont get frozen

[cursive bluff]

You're best off going for an "immune" instead at that point

[tropic scroll]

or hardly get poison or stun

[silk frigate]

The final boss is the big headache that’s what i need to be ready for

[cursive bluff]

But charms are super common so you will see multiple in shops before the boss

[shut abyss]

i use rarity, freeze and stun myself

[cursive bluff]

Gear is far more valuable to do that with

Personally cold Res if you have none by the boss

Otherwise I'd choose slows

Or freeze immunie

Damage for me was never an issue but moving out of the way of his skills in time while slowed was what killed me

Or they could ohko the boss (to his invuln stage)

No need for a charm then lol

[silk frigate]

Thanks for the heads up i really appreciate it

[silk frigate]

I thought i might need it lol

[cursive bluff]

No you misunderstood lol

That last part was a joke

I was saying if you can ohko the boss you won't need charms to give you a counter to the boss damage type lol

[winged quiver]

im still in the campaign lol so this is actually huge for me currently

[cursive bluff]

It's just all situational and still good to have 1 of each charm saved for a "just in case" moment

[normal ibex]

and todays most annoying feature is the game adding +3 levels to your gear so you actually ruined a piece instead of improved it, thanks obama

[cursive bluff]

You got higher than +3?

Why would +levels be bad?

[normal ibex]

because my level 16 sorc now has a level 19 ring, and now half of my cold res is gone

[silk frigate]

If my character is strong on that fight maybe i will melt him no worries

[regal imp]

I might start a new character today. I’m having fun with monk but also i want to start again now that i know a bit more about this game

[eager basin]

how underlevelled are you that you can do this lol

or are you taking gear out of stash

I don't think it's possible to get a higher level requirement than the item level

or even the same level requirement as the item level

[cursive bluff]

What others said is not wrong cold Res if you struggle with last boss but depending where you are it might be better to take some other element if you need it

[normal ibex]

so, its never happened to you? be happy, not the first time for me, just the first time on a piece i was actually using

i do have 14% magic find when i get to level 19 tho 😛

[regal imp]

Anyone have suggestions on what to play? I personally love big aoe hits and arc lightning chains in arpgs

[cursive bluff]

Arcmage?

Warrior is big aoe but meh compared to all other classes rn

[normal ibex]

this was a level 12 white ring, i didnt think it would get that many levels just making it a magic item

[cursive bluff]

Or make your own build using skills and stuff you like the sound of

[normal ibex]

own builds are pretty fun, but can be expensive unless you have a rich friend or high level alt to sugar daddy you

[cursive bluff]

I have neither and it's not expensive because I've not had currency to spend on it hahahaha

[normal ibex]

first time around you do as you are told, and spend everything you get on upgrading gear because 90% of drops are pure trash, and you also spend your gold on finn, who btw is a lottery criminal, and you need to save up a few level clears to respec the few points yo adjust

[jaunty bluff]

Grenadier merc is some fun aoe explosion build.

[regal imp]

Also as much as I’m loving monk i don’t really care for the power charge heavy play style just because it feels a bit more annoying to maintain

[jaunty bluff]

I also lvled a rapid Shot electricity build but its a pain to lvl until you get everything you need

[cursive bluff]

Nah my issue is I'm to much of a casual player so I don't grind a lot which meant I get maybe 1-2ex per 5 maps lol (tier 6 maps)

[regal imp]

Might do a merc then they seem really fun

Has anyone found any goofy cross weapon stuff (using weapons not supposed to be for that class)

[craggy gyro]

Hi all, i start now mapping but i get one shotted in map tier 1. I see my resistances are negative, also i dont have shield. How i can fix it? What is the mistake? What i should focus on to increase my defences? I should changw something on the tree or its just something about gear?

[cursive bluff]

#2┃after-acts-help

[normal ibex]

my early merc seems strong, i do struggle with any of the delayed reaction skills in general, and merc seems to have a few of those

[split lark]

anyone know why all my tracked quests disappeared? i havent turned the setting off, so i dont know what happened

[radiant nebula]

The Whole point of hardcore it's be not fair?

[cursive bluff]

Do you think luck/rng should be fair just because you chose to play HARD core and you found it HARD???

The whole point of hardcore is it's meant to be hard clues in the name

[normal ibex]

bug filled pre release beta game, pretty sure hardcore is the absolute definition of insanity unless you play 100% safe all the time

[cursive bluff]

As for fair? The whole game isn't fair regardless of the mode you're in

[normal ibex]

also true lol

[cursive bluff]

No arpg that's done well is fair

[normal ibex]

see: 90% drops are trash 😛

rng is not your friend

[shut abyss]

only 90%? thats pretty nice if every 10th item is good 😮

[cursive bluff]

90% of 0 is still 0 lol

[tropic scroll]

just get 300% item rarity finder and rng will have dinner with u

[shut abyss]

oioi but he said drops so i kinda assumed something is dropping

[cursive bluff]

You need the luck and currency first to get thatuch

[normal ibex]

yes, higher quality trash, is still trash 🙂

[regal imp]

The best skill you can learn is figuring out how to mold a junk item into something usable

[jaunty bluff]

Look for grenadier on YouTube, there is a guy who optimized the build on a ranger class

[tropic scroll]

dwwell i dunno

[cursive bluff]

We dont have that option yet not till scouts or other craftingethods are in

[tropic scroll]

once i got 300% , ex keep droping

[normal ibex]

and this is why some whites are some of the most insanely priced items

[radiant nebula]

no no no, I know hardcore it's hard, you don't understand, maybe i can express myself really good, that the game is hard it's really fine to me, I talk about the deads in one shot sometimes, without any possibility of defend your self

[chilly mason]

help

[cursive bluff]

That's everywhere not just hardcore but you chose to play a mode where one bad move and your dead I understand the frustration but your playing the game as it was designed

[jaunty bluff]

Just to add: some websites like mobalytics are more trustworthy than some of the content creators on YouTube

[cursive bluff]

How do you get 300 rarity of your just starting out?

[normal ibex]

just do what all the hardcore players do, hit escape before you know you are going to be one shot and quit the game 😛

[tropic scroll]

just

[cursive bluff]

You need luck for currency to drop or great rarity items

[tropic scroll]

well , yesterday i only got 50% rarity

spend whole morning to get 250% rarirty

so now ex drop more than yesterday

[jaunty bluff]

Got my first divine yesterday on act 2 cruel mode on my alt account. Without any item rarity.

[normal ibex]

wheres my you played yourself meme?

[cursive bluff]

So if someone did EXACTLY like you did they would be guaranteed 300 rarity?

[normal ibex]

if the graphs are to be believed anything past 150 drops off hard

and past 100 is diminishing returns

[jaunty bluff]

Tbh find some people 1-2 that also have max rarity sets and play multiplayer. Will drop an insane amount of stuff

[cursive bluff]

The topic here is that you don't need luck or rng to get 300 rarity whenever you want

[radiant nebula]

It's not frustration, i think I express bad my self in the beginning of my petition, I know I would die many times but you have some advice to defend my self better in thatkind of game(Haardcore)

[eager basin]

using weapons "from other classes" is not really abnormal in poe, so I wouldn't call builds doing so "goofy"

[tropic scroll]

like i say

i dunno

[radiant nebula]

mmmm I didn't know I could do that, hahahahahaha

[cursive bluff]

Ohhhhhhhhh yeah sorry my bad I thought you was just raging for the sake of it. I apologize. Outside of play smarter and get better defences and resistences I don't really have any tips for hardcore personally as I don't play it

[tropic scroll]

the ex drop like crazy today once i got 250% rarity than yesterday (50%)

and yesterday hardly get ex from same act3 cruel

[normal ibex]

wouldnt recommend as a strategy, but ive seen it in play, because YT loves its gamer drama

[cursive bluff]

And do you think 250% on useable gear is just dropping for everyone and anyone all the time?

[flat fog]

is this build good
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/tempest-flurry-invoker

[tropic scroll]

spend the fucking ex for it LOL , thats what i do in the whole morning , shopping around

i spend 8 ex for good 8 gear

[jaunty bluff]

Create some normal characters first for every class and play trough the campaign. Made like 4 characters now and on my last run I didnt die at all until act 3

[shut abyss]

it's the same as other monk builds just got falling thunder mixed in

[cursive bluff]

And now I'm able to swing the conversation back to my original point how do you get those initial ex to buy it?

[tropic scroll]

from act 1 till act 3 cruel

[normal ibex]

i'm fully expecting them to nerf magic find completely and fix the RNG to be a bit tighter

[cursive bluff]

You require luck just because you got 50% doesn't mean others can

[flat fog]

@shut abyss so good?

[tropic scroll]

i only got like 12 ex yesterday since day 1 i play

now i got 35++ just today

[haughty niche]

ye. atm i find grabbing 100 rarity or so is much more mandatory feeling than in poe1

[north mirage]

Hi guys - how do I know which item (rings, specifically) are the highest ilvl version of a base? I tried this but it seems to only show 1 variant https://poe2db.tw/us/Rings#RingsItem

[jaunty bluff]

Made like 5-10 ex yesterday by selling 2 sapphire rings to someone. Some normal items are worth a ton

[haughty niche]

rings dont have anyn tiered bases

they just do what they do

like theres not multiple fire res rings, just ruby

[radiant nebula]

Yeah we love hardcore but in some fights the BOSS kill you in a way you don't found explanation, for example, the executioner throws the anvil out of nowhere and kills you instantly without the possibility of moving or dodging, nothing, the anvil simply appears where you were and you only see that you died hahahaha, I don't know if that is fair, but I think not, but maybe if fine for the developers call that hardcore hahahahaha

[haughty niche]

item lvl is what restricts their maximum rolls.

[ivory fern]

they can start to drop from bosses in the campaign. just keep playing youll find one

[north mirage]

Right - but the ilvl restricts the mods that can roll, right? So I'd need to know what the highest ilvl ring is?

[shut abyss]

there's an effect on the ground before the anvil drops and i think he even yells something

[haughty niche]

thats not how the game works

[cursive bluff]

Yes I know how to make money but the original topic was about RNG/LUCK

[haughty niche]

Ilvl is determined by the monster lvl the item dropped from. Not the base.

[normal ibex]

id agree with you but only to a degree, it sounds like you are against one shots completely. But having beaten him like a dozen times, pretty sure i can dodge literally every one of his attacks now.

[cursive bluff]

Yeah I wasn't asking a question lol

[jaunty bluff]

Thats what happens when you dont watch the boss battles before on YouTube.
Before he does that he says "The Guillotine drops" If you have your game in english language

[normal ibex]

i'm not sure HC was a good thing to add in EA

should have stuck to SSF and standard

[jaunty bluff]

Then why you asking how to get ex?

[normal ibex]

i also think SSF should be the baseline experience, not standard

[radiant nebula]

I know an effect of wind but, it has happened to me that I was just walking and suddenly paff the anvil

[ivory fern]

"how do you get those initial ex to buy it?" is literally a question... have a good one

[delicate geode]

i feel like playing with a friend is 10x harder than playing solo

[north mirage]

Thx for help man but I'm confused - here on craftofexile I thought its showing that these mods can only roll at this level if the item is of a certain ilvl:

[cursive bluff]

I mean this with respect not trying to be arsed but nightshade and fluffing I was replying to others the conversation goes back a while

[haughty niche]

ilvl restricts the higher tiers of affixes yes.

[north mirage]

So how do I know if the ring that I have could be a higher ilvl? Is it possible to see the maximum ilvl for a given ring somewhere?

[haughty niche]

If you find a ruby ring in campaign its going to be a lower ilvl than if you found it in post-campaign.

hold alt

alt shows details of items, including their ilvl

[north mirage]

For example: what is the highest ilvl that a ruby ring can be?

[haughty niche]

you can't see max ilvl. But inpoe1 it was ilvl 100 from some divination cards (don't exist in poe2). Natural drops were like ilvl 86ish.

[cursive bluff]

Poe2db is a good place for all items and bases unsure if it has the specific details your asking for but should help a lot

[boreal peak]

Hey just finished act 3, do I have to do all the 3 acts in cruel mode?

[cursive bluff]

Yeah

[north mirage]

Thx guys - I tried https://poe2db.tw/us/Rings#RingsItem but it also doesn't seem to show max ilvl - i'm therefore not sure whether it's worth to commit resources to this ring or if it's better to try to get a higher ilvl ring

[radiant nebula]

I know how he attacks because I play the game in standard first but only act 1 and 2, but maybe could be cuz I play with my teammates and I lose myself in the fight sometimes

[cursive bluff]

In the map tab you should see up top a new act 1

[lament stone]

there isnt a "max" ilvl

[boreal peak]

And after cruel mode there is the endgame

[lament stone]

the ilvl is based on the level of the monster that drops it

[jaunty bluff]

1.) play the whole campaign.
2.) dont play multiplayer

[split lark]

can you unscoket those martial runes?

[normal ibex]

GGG fucked this up for controller players btw, so trying to see details of items in stash it utterly messed up

[lament stone]

cant unsocket them, but you can now destroy them to place a new rune in that socket

[cursive bluff]

Yeah up top you have actually 1-3 in grey then act 1-3 in orange then endgame

[haughty niche]

Think you can still hold L3?

just not toggled

[split lark]

ahh okay, i got a new weapon i wanna put them on, so i guess i gotta find new runes

[haughty niche]

i forget

[normal ibex]

which triggers the search box, which then exist the stash

which means opening stash for every item

[jaunty bluff]

Duo is still ok but any players more feels so bad. Full party needs years to kill a boss

[normal ibex]

nobody at GGG games knows how to use a controller or tests controllers

also, right stick doesnt work anymore, no idea if it does for PS

i suspect not

[spice pasture]

Does the Atlas Tree is shared with my new characters at endgame?

[daring night]

Yes as long as they are in the same game mode

[spice pasture]

hmm. Weird that I can't access my tree with my wizard

nevermind haha

[daring night]

Has your new character finished campaign?

[spice pasture]

Yeah

I thought that i have to do the tier 1 again hehe

[dire python]

Hey guys stupid question. I finished Act 3 cruel campaign and can see my end game now but I can't teleport back to the refuge

Nothing happens when i click on the refuge when i'm standing at another act's waypoint

[spice pasture]

here

[dire python]

how do i get back there?

[spice pasture]

The refuge is on Act 3 Cruel. Not at the Endgame

[faint lark]

i cant find her

[dire python]

OOOOH got it

Thank you

[haughty niche]

past hooded man, down stairs?

[boreal jacinth]

Hello, guys, new player here, just downloaded the game 2 days ago and currently on Act 3. on Standard.

One question: In Hardcore mode, can I use my stash from the standard campaign or I will start with absolutely nothing?

[haughty niche]

hardcore is completely separate characters/stash/economy.

[faint lark]

xD

ty

[scenic salmon]

Can you imagine the imbalance of people in standard farming for hardcore

[frigid ivy]

is there a reason why you would want the deceleration support gem

[boreal jacinth]

perfect, thanks

[boreal jacinth]

totally, this is why I'm asking. As a new player I have no idea of how things work

but thanks for clarifiying

[daring night]

Some projectile skills benefits from moving slowly so that they can hit enemies more times. For example, ball of lightning, eye of winter

[eager basin]

poe is known for random oneshots but those are not from boss attacks, lol, nearly every high damage boss attack is telegraphed

[visual onyx]

Is there like a way to upgrade chaos bolt to like lv 3 from lv 2 on a wand?

[eager basin]

the only one I couldn't figure out the prompt for which did way too much damage was the colossus knife attack

[daring night]

Find a new wand is the only way for now

[visual onyx]

noooooooo

[eager basin]

the executioner's guillotine drop has a giant aoe visible on the ground for a few seconds before it falls

[visual onyx]

Alright another thing is what are some good support gems for witch cause I am basic and only take basically reduced cast speed since all the ones are so situational (I like single target dps since all non bosses are super easy)

oh and whats a good way to detonate the poison gas

[fringe obsidian]

the game recomended ones are totally fine

especially for campaign

[eager basin]

"support gems for witch" is a super weird question

you can't put support gems on a character

[fringe obsidian]

as you start to define your build more you'll maybe want to look into the wider tree of supports, but I'd say for the first 2.5 acts the recomended list will do ya

[visual onyx]

Well I took envenom and 25% cast speed on chaos bolt and 40% duration for contagion since pierce and the bounce thing seem kind of ass and the wither thing doesnt even refresh upon hitting, it just adds new charges so you only get like +4 stacks max/10

[zenith lion]

Can someone tell me whats the best duelist skills to level up fast?

[fringe obsidian]

you can put pierce on contagion? learn something new every day lol

[visual onyx]

No on chaos bolt

[fringe obsidian]

which class is duelist?

[eager basin]

duelist isn't even in the game

[zenith lion]

sorry i meant to sent that in a poe1 chat

[humble karma]

so there is deterministic crafting after all 😄

[eager basin]

what

[dire python]

Another stupid question. I bought the premium tab, created a folder called Public and put an item in there but when i right click, nothing happens

How do i list an item for sale?

[eager basin]

right click the premium tab

[fringe obsidian]

you need to also set the tab to public

[eager basin]

nothing to do with folders

[dire python]

Oh I see

I bought the wrong stash tab

[eager basin]

what did you buy

[fringe obsidian]

are you sure?

[eager basin]

people really need to learn how to ask questions

[dire python]

i bought this one too many times

[normal ibex]

also, not a trader but theres some talk about being a minimum level of 25

[lament stone]

that upgrades your existing non premium tabs to premium tabs

[eager basin]

what do you mean by "too many times"? I'd assume it's not possible to buy more than you have normal stash tabs

[fringe obsidian]

but that should be the one that allows for trading lol

premium tabs are trade tabs

or am I just misremembering since it's been almost a decade at this point

[lament stone]

yea, you cannot buy that one if you have no tabs available to upgrade

[dire python]

got it...

kind of confusing haha

what is the point of folders?

[eager basin]

literally any tab that isn't a non-premium normal tab can be set to public and used to trade

[lament stone]

folders are just for organising tabs

[fringe obsidian]

yeah aren't all the different buyable tabs considered premium? whatever not important lol

[dire python]

Thanks thoguh, i think I get it @eager basin @lament stone

[lament stone]

so if you bought that "upgrade to premium tab" one of your regular tabs (the basic ones you start with) has been upgraded to premium

[swift rapids]

should i struggle with t1 maps?

[fringe obsidian]

and you can use that to trade probably

[oblique bear]

Anyone able to carry me through the campaign or dot he campaign with me I am near the end of act 3

[fringe obsidian]

struggle in what way?

[oblique bear]

Please and thank you

[swift rapids]

barely have damage , and i die pretty quickly

[eager basin]

#2┃looking-for-group and nobody is doing this for free

[shut abyss]

sounds about right

[jaunty bluff]

yes, took me some time to figure it out

[swift rapids]

and should i start trading or something? for some decent gear

[shut abyss]

@swift rapids first thing would be to check how many exalts you got and spend 1ex per gear piece

[jaunty bluff]

big difference between pulling an entire map of mobs on capmaign act 3 cruel and a flat t1 map

[pearl hill]

i died in the trial of chaos, how do i find another ultimatum? is it just a random drop off the yellow enemies

[swift rapids]

aside what ive spent i got like 6 left

[shut abyss]

thats plenty

[swift rapids]

alright ima start looking for gear then

[fringe obsidian]

so good rule of thumb for mapping is to have a decent hit pool (life or es, but es is better imo) and 75% in all the elemental resistances. you don't need chaos to start, but you will before let's saaaaaaaaaaaay, t12 maps? in terms of damage. no clue what your build is but get more of it. get so much of it

so much damage you have no idea

[daring night]

Yes, random drops. I think any enemies can drop

[shut abyss]

start with the weapon then res, then life and armour/evasion/es/whatever you're using

[swift rapids]

alright , thanks guys

looking at my guide and really wonder how someone can craft something like this

[dire python]

I have 15 exalted.. should be good enough to get decemt gear as storm sorc?

[daring night]

If you don’t have high chaos res, be careful with rituals

[scenic salmon]

You don't I don't think that bow even exists

[shut abyss]

my believe is 1ex per gear piece gets you to t10+ range

[dire python]

Thanks

[proud furnace]

Hello guys i am new to this game its still downloading which difficulty should i play

[shut abyss]

standard

[daring night]

Guides usually put the theoretical best item. But in this game, those item are usually don’t exists and what you can actually get are usually half powerful compare to it without heavily investment

[proud furnace]

Alright thank you

[scenic salmon]

Yes specially in PoE2
I would be very surprised if there are 6 perfect affix items

[normal ibex]

you take 6x D20 dice and keep throwing them until you get 6 nat20s

[eager basin]

that's more like 6 d100s

[normal ibex]

each dice roll costs you 1 ex 😛

[eager basin]

mirror bows are not that good

[sacred lava]

Hello,

I am trying to create a custom modifier in Path of Building 2 that simulates adding Bleed Damage based on a percentage of Fire Damage. However, I am unsure how to implement this in the program.(Blood Mage\Avatar Fire)

[daring night]

There’s no difficulty that changes enemy damages. Only “difficulty” options are: 1) allow trade or not, 2) allow revive or not

[eager basin]

a) does pob2 not support the blood mage "elemental damage also contributes to bleeding magnitude"?
b) does avatar of fire's "deal no non-fire damage" not prevent you from dealing damage with bleed?

since conversions do not affect dot

[sacred lava]

it turns out that the blood mage ascension that gives elemental damage to cause bleeding will not work with the fire avatar?

[eager basin]

I don't think it would, since "deal no non-fire damage" would affect your bleeds while conversion would not

[fringe peak]

Anyone have tips on completing the ascension tier 1?

I built a sustain tank warrior, so the honor mechanic is a pretty hard slap in the face from the devs to me...

Also, my brother and I play together, same level, and yet I start with 600 honor max, and he starts with 1600 max as our squishy mage.... why???

[sacred lava]

I checked it in the game, the bleeding damage didn't go away, it dropped a little but it's still there

[haughty niche]

your damage would scale with ele damage but the bleed is still going to be doing physical damage over time

which if you deal no non-fire damage should become 0

[daring dragon]

Your friend might not be as squishy if he has lots of energy shield. Also get some relics with honor resistance and max honor.

[daring night]

Honor is based on life + energy shield. Try get some honor resistance from relics

[dire python]

Do I want to corrupt a unique item/

[daring dragon]

If you can afford to to lose it and also it depends on the exact item.

[fringe peak]

I see... what a hard counter to my armor stack sustain build lol.

[dire python]

I bought this one for 2 exalts

idk if corrupting would improve upon it

First time corrupting so idk

[fringe peak]

I guess the devs just wanted to eliminate the most classic warrior build in these games from existence during ones leveling....

[haughty niche]

that item is already corrupted

is it not?

[trim turret]

I can't imagine a warrior build that doesn't have a decent amount of life, on which honor scales.

[fringe peak]

At level 25, I have almost 700 HP, and no shield.

[haughty niche]

its really fucking miserable to get life in poe2

getting hhigh life rolls on all gear leaves you around 2-3k

in endgame

[sacred lava]

the first image is without the fire avatar, the second one is with it

[fringe peak]

Playing safe and constantly holding block still loses me 100-200 honor minimum per level.

And I have 70% damage mitigation

[haughty niche]

sorry i dont know what im looking at

[dire python]

oh damn

[trim turret]

Maybe do trial of chaos instead in the next act. That might work better with your build.

[dire python]

lol i can't add sockets after corrupted

[fiery silo]

i cant see shit acept some russian crap

[spice pasture]

lol

[fringe peak]

It feels impossible. Even if I play it safe, losing 80 honor every minute passively kills me even when the enemies dont.

[haughty niche]

corruption prevents further modification.

Ideally you quality and socket the item prior to corruption. But depends on the item / if its worth doing that

[fiery silo]

but remeber the dems said its all the russians fult they did it

[trim turret]

Can we not in the help channel?

[shut abyss]

totems

[fringe peak]

It helped me emotionally

[fiery silo]

its the pics fult look at that pic up there

[chrome ingot]

Any1 needs help with bosses ?

[trim turret]

Do trial of chaos in act 3 if you don't like honor system.

[fringe peak]

Oh, they stop that dumb mechanic there?!?!

[shut abyss]

@fringe peak allthough totems wouldn't help you if you didin't build for them..

[haughty niche]

as fucking terrible as that feels, it is your best ascendency option as a melee build if you don't farm for honour resist

[trim turret]

It's an alternative method of getting your ascendancy.

[fringe peak]

How would you build for them?

[shut abyss]

there's few nodes that gives more totems but i wouldn't change my whole build for it, maybe just get few levels and gear upgrades first and slap them around then

[fringe peak]

Aye aye, Sir!!! Guess that's my path, and if that fails, wait for act 3.

Thank you everyone for the help! 🙏🍻

[shut abyss]

at SOME point you are going to deal so much damage that they don't hurt you anymore

[sacred lava]

the damage is displayed but I tested it on mobs and the bleeding no longer appears you were right

[haughty niche]

Yeah if you do no non-fire damage, you can no longer apply bleeds

and the bleeds themselves wouldn't do damage

[fair stream]

Lmao I used it for POE1 but without the character input system I'll wait to use POB2 lmao, I find it okay to use just not perfect tbh, skill DPS cal is all I need for now anyway

[midnight bough]

what is considered mid / early game?

[cursive bluff]

yeah the basics like importing my own char yeah i meant like if i found an item in game and was unsure if its better i couldnt add it to pob and know what im looking at lol

[shut abyss]

campaign early, maps mid, red maps and pinnacles late i'd say

[midnight bough]

cool, so cruel campaign still early.

[haughty niche]

definition varies a lot per person.

Most would loosely agree on campaign being early game, and midgame being around early maps somewhere with endgame being farming strategies etc in the endgame maps.

[faint lark]

what mind over matter how do i use it

[midnight bough]

Thanks, just trying to figure out how to follow this build guide

[haughty niche]

you can press alt while hovering over dotted text for more info

MoM is a keystone on the passive tree

[faint lark]

oh its in the tree

thanks

[haughty niche]

its very annoying to use in campaign imo

not something id use until i heavily sustain mana

[jaunty bluff]

have the problem myself now. any solution?

[shut abyss]

there's a question mark on the error so there's probly nothing you can do

[jaunty bluff]

well thats great, because that means that I cant teleport to party members anymore

always happens when I try to tp

[tranquil plaza]

Heya just picked up the game just now is it any fun or good?

[jaunty bluff]

and crashes my game

[shut abyss]

ah, maybe you and your friend should change gateways

[jaunty bluff]

public party

[shut abyss]

weird

what does google say?

[daring dragon]

Advice for the future. Try to find answers for these questions before buying a game.

[haughty niche]

Also dont ask the community dedicated to it, they will say yes

[errant trout]

Can anybody tell me why with the act2 end boss while he is doing the sandstorm I'm suddenly dead, I don't get it 🤔

[safe lance]

you have to hide behind the npc

[daring dragon]

Stay near your npc companion

[normal ibex]

i also peel my own fingernails out when i'm having downtime from the game

[safe lance]

she has a shield

[normal ibex]

its the same colour as the sandstorm so almost invisible

[safe lance]

poe2 is less addicting for me than poe1 tbh. I barely played it for 3 months but was too hooked on it. The crafting and learning all the crafting mechanics was very engrossing. I think I'll actually be able to take a poe2 break and play d4 for a few days starting tomorrow.

[normal ibex]

i'd like to see more deterministic crafting even if all the components had to be reduced for it to be done

[swift rapids]

after some trading sessions , this is my start for t1 wish me luck!

[normal ibex]

so far i'm just playing medieval borderlands lol

[daring night]

They moved deterministic craft into sockets and omens.

Also a lot of the league crafting method are not added in poe2 yet

[normal ibex]

not sure sockets can be considered crafting tbh, and so far the 'less trash' modifiers are not at all evident to me so far, its all just messy.

waiting for in game currency to get a special place in the MTX shop

[lapis remnant]

anybody need help with anything in act 1 or 2?

[obtuse seal]

@lapis remnant I was just about to ask if anyone would be able to help me on an act 1 boss

[frosty light]

i managed to make it to end-game, but now im dying super fast lol

i need to upgrade some pieces of armor

what is a good helmet for like 5-10ex?

for monk^

[normal ibex]

does endgame actually have levels or does it scale off player level

[ivory fern]

ill give you one for free IGN: MasterMiagi

[frosty light]

ok ty 🙂

i have some exalted i can give you

[ivory fern]

is this you in here with me rn?

[frosty light]

yes sir

[dull crow]

is there any guides or places for ssf builds?

couldn't find anything on google that was updated after they buffed and nerfed pconc

[normal ibex]

builds are all the same, its just faster to get gear if you trade

[river grove]

why does the game blue screen on the newest verison of windows 11

[ivory fern]

no clue but thanks for letting me know not to update!

[eager basin]

it does not scale off player level

[flint plume]

You mean you're expecting them to start selling in game currency? We've gone over 10 years without them doing that in PoE1, I don't think it's likely in PoE2. GGG's been pretty committed to not selling anything that affects gameplay besides stash tabs.

[flint plume]

Not exactly true. Some builds are designed around not requiring specific uniques or other things that are harder to get if you're SSF

[flint plume]

Some build creators make builds that are more SSF friendly. Zizaran's builds often are since he mostly plays SSF, for example

[normal ibex]

i think GGG no longer being independent perhaps shifts that, i just dont have much trust in the pupet masters of the gaming industry anymore

[lament stone]

that was 8 years ago

nothing changed

[eager basin]

GGG has been public for years lmao

[flint plume]

Tencent only messed with the Chinese version, they let GGG keep doing what they were already doing for the international version

[dire python]

Can someone explain what an unset ring is?

[flint plume]

It's a ring that lets you equip an extra skill

Normally you can equip 9 skills, an unset ring lets you have a 10th

[fast mortar]

if i open up a portal to leave my map in maps do i lose my progress or can i return?

[lament stone]

you get 6 portals to enter a map

you only get locked out if you die in the map

[fast mortar]

oh right, cheers

[dire python]

got it, so id on't have to do any crafting witht aht ring then

[eager basin]

what does that mean

[flint plume]

It can have mods just like any other ring if you craft it.

[eager basin]

how does that follow

[flint plume]

It just gives an extra skill as the implicit instead of something else

[tiny flare]

hi all, are the "WTS 4th ascendancy.." spammers in chat legit? I just got my first div drop at lvl 53 and im wondering if its worth to just pay up and get some ascendancy points?

[daring dragon]

They aren't if they are asking for 1 div

[tiny flare]

whats the scam then? cos they say pay after

[daring dragon]

Go to the forbidden trove discord and get it for 30-40 ex or go to #2┃looking-for-group and get it for free with some patience and luck

[flint plume]

Ascendancy carries are a real thing, personally I would not spend your first div on one

[daring dragon]

They are massively overpriced

[pale kindle]

is there any way to remove affixes? or stat of an equipment

[tiny flare]

just not sure what to spend my first div on

[daring dragon]

Yes there is a specific orb

[tiny flare]

ok fair, ill just wait and do it on my own

[flint plume]

Orb of annulment or chaos

[daring dragon]

Well not on a ascendancy carry that's for sure

[pale kindle]

is annulment in this game?

[tiny flare]

any reccomendations?

got 1div 75ex to spend

[daring dragon]

Entirely depends on what you got already

[tiny flare]

feel like i just buy gear for a few hours then move up again

probs should just save it

[frosty sail]

Hey Guys,
i need an important tip (as someone new to poe) or some help for loot Topic and my Habbit. I always pick up Rare Items and have 6 Tabs full of them and always replacing old with new one to sell them (trading). The Tabs are always full and i have them all at 1 Ex.

What would be the best way to change that? Keep them for 1-2 days and if no one is asking for them, just sell them?

I need some advice to change this habbit

im lvl 73 for now and have began endgame a couple days ago, maybe thats a good notice

[daring dragon]

That's exactly what many people do yes. It's called dump stash. You just put everything in on a set price and clear the tab after a few days of stuff not selling.

And if you get a lot of whispers on one of those items you know it's underpriced and you can do a proper pricecheck.

[grim tapir]

what's the highest level of uncut spirit gem?

[flint plume]

20

[grim tapir]

ok so just like skill gems then

[flint plume]

Yeah

[frosty sail]

Is selling for gold the best way? or any other item thats maybe below 1 ex?

[grim tapir]

thx brosky, i'm level 85 and I can't for the life of me find level 19 spirit gem

[dusky burrow]

if it's below 1ex dont pick it up

[flint plume]

They're quite rare, and level 20 are extremely rare

[daring dragon]

Either sell to vendor or sell a quad stash tab full of rares to other players on the forbidden trove discord.

[frosty light]

what is tablet for?

[dusky vale]

so i completed the silly lil egg quest in act 1 and i cant buy steelskin from nessa but all the other stuff that unlocks after that quest can be bought what do? (playing witch)

[grim tapir]

oh just noticed this is the new player campign help, sorry for the spam! 🫰

[flint plume]

I'm level 93 and have not had a single level 20 gem drop. I think I've had one or two level 19 spirit gems

[daring dragon]

You put them into towers. It's an endgame thing.

[flint plume]

#1┃new-player-in-campaign-help this sounds like a PoE1 question

[frosty light]

i am in endgame, but didnt make it to a tower yet

[frosty sail]

the forbidden trove could be a thing tbh, im gonna have a look at this

thank you very much

[edgy vine]

I'm in act 2 about level 25 I want a specific unique and it looks like it's level 16 how should I go about farming it? Will it just drop eventually or do I need to farm act 1 or something?

[flint plume]

It might drop eventually but honestly I would just buy it on the trade site if you really want it

[edgy vine]

Ok thanks

[flint plume]

Low level uniques can drop in higher level areas but it's hard to count on any specific unique dropping for you most of the time

[edgy vine]

So buying uniques from other players is the best option then that makes sense

[muted shore]

hi im level 23 and i got a regal orb should i use it on a weapon now or should i save it

[stone lotus]

whats the difference between increase to max energy shield and %increase

[daring dragon]

Use it if you got a good magic item you are currently using. Disenchant rares to get more regals.

Regals aren't particularly rare.

[muted shore]

ah i see thanks

[daring dragon]

One is a flat increase the other is percentage based.

[timber tapir]

omg this game is hard lol

[ivory fern]

any 4th ascendancy trials of chaos carries out there?

[daring dragon]

#2┃looking-for-group

Alternatively buy a carry on the forbidden trove discord

[meager flower]

Could anyone please teach me how do I search on poetrade website for items with a set number of sockets? for example, I know there is a way to search by the number of EMPTY sockets, but I want to search by the number of TOTAL sockets, occupied or not.

[ivory fern]

tried there as well so i will look into that thank you!

[dire python]

Got a question. I used a Spirit 14 Gem on Archmage Spirit Skill but I am not able to use that skill... that gem never showed up in my inventory.

[daring dragon]

Yeah takes some patience and a bit of luck to find a free one in the lfg channel

A carry should cost you 30-40 ex

[ivory fern]

im about to just offer like 3 divine orbs

[swift rapids]

if you die in trial of sekmeth you gotta do all over again?

[dire python]

When I hit engrave for Archmage,

[daring dragon]

Just a guess but check if the gem directly went into your gem menu.

[dire python]

My spirit 14 gem disappears

I've used 3 spirit 14 gems and each time that skill disappears along with my spirit 14 geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

OMG

YOU"RE RIGHT

LOL I HAVE # archmage skills now

thanks, i'm an idiot

[frail ivy]

Ikbab and iktap are fucking me

[runic marsh]

hi guys, anyone available to help us kill Viper Napuatzi please?

[daring dragon]

Also ask here #2┃looking-for-group

[swift rapids]

what are these crisis fragments? why are them so expensive?

[daring dragon]

They are used at the burning monolith to start a big boss fight.

[swift rapids]

and that boss gives such good rewards?

[wise cedar]

for life based attribute stacker, second venom draught is best on 10% chaos resistance or +5 all attributes?

[crystal parcel]

Im stuck on this quiver, what do I need to find to get a better one? Im using this bow rn

[fringe obsidian]

He can yeah, also has some atlas progression

[tranquil plaza]

I have a question about mercenary if anyone could help me

[daring dragon]

Just drop your question

[tranquil plaza]

I'm starting to understand combos and stuff and was wondering if I should drop basic bolts you start with and focus on better skills?

[opal eagle]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.. but I'm doing so little damage with my Stormweaver

I'm level 28 and doing act 2 end boss and I'm doing so little

with spark + frost bomb

[normal ibex]

you know this is 4 levels below level?

[opal eagle]

sorry, I'm lvl 31*

[daring dragon]

At some point you won't be using the basic attack anymore yes. If you already reached that point entirely depends on the current state of your character and can't be answered without full infos about it.

[normal ibex]

i spent 5 hours fixing my mok build and beating that guy last night... him not fun to play with

[opal eagle]

I even have a unique staff

I'm doing SSF

[hard cypress]

Unique != Best

[opal eagle]

fair, but 77% spell damage seems pretty good for this level

[trim nexus]

How to farm divines? I can't get any... lvl 90 btw

[daring dragon]

Many people say spark isn't particularly good during early game.

[fringe obsidian]

you should keep an eye out for anything that gives + to spell level

[hard cypress]

Spark + fire wall seems like a death bu thousand cuts for enemies

[daring dragon]

Rng drops, getting some increased rarity on gear as well as on waystones can help. Also sell stuff to other players.

[fair stream]

Just started using, combat frenzy with monk, but I'm only getting red orb charges not the electricity ones.. any idea why

[opal eagle]

even spark + fire wall takes forever to clear packs

[trim nexus]

I mean how is it that some people have 300 400 divs? Just by selling?

[boreal jacinth]

I was looking for it and I heard that you'll get Divs mostly by selling stuff to other players...

[daring dragon]

Mostly trading yes

[normal ibex]

also a lot of high levels hunt in packs, more and better loot overall

[carmine lantern]

Why do i get damage when i use hand of chayula? bugged?

[trim nexus]

But I don't have anything to sell, atleast not for a div lol, I guess they craft and sell

[daring dragon]

@trim nexus Breach maps are good as well due to them spawning lots of rare mobs.

[wooden crane]

Is it unusual for support gems to be so rare you find 3 uniques and 2 vaal orbs before getting one support gem

[jade barn]

so im leveling a sorc now that i got lucky and i dont know why im not doing damage

[trim nexus]

I actually do t15 breaches and I have %77 rarity on my character but still no expensive items, the most expensive I've got was an audience with the king doing rituals, but still not enough divs for the item I need

[boreal jacinth]

some people don't have a life and spend all day on videogames haha. I wish I was one of them lol

[daring dragon]

You can do citadels and sell the fragments or chaos trial and sell the fragments. Sekhemas trial gives relics that can fetch a good price as well as time lost jewels. But overall it comes down to knowing the market. Certain white bases also sell, for example stellar amulets are worth ~30 ex each.

An easy way to learn about which bases sell is to go to the wts bases channel on the forbidden trove discord.

[trim nexus]

I was thinking about gambling on stellar amulet lol

[daring dragon]

That's also an option

More potential reward but also more risky.

[trim nexus]

How much is temple of chaos fragments?

[daring dragon]

No idea

[trim nexus]

I've got nothing to lose haha

[chilly geyser]

Hey all i was fighting Doryani on cruel and it says i got kicked for performing too many actions too fast. The only thing i was doing was shooting my crossbow and switching up the type of ammo i was usingammo

any ideas on this?

[haughty relic]

Is there no AOE indicators? Like red circles?

[daring dragon]

There are but the exact telegraph depends on the attack and also sometimes they can be hard to spot.

[orchid python]

What’s like the meta team comp? I know sorc is crazy and witch has buffs but idk what else. Just curious

[hard cypress]

Team comp as in co op ?

[opal eagle]

I don't know what's happening

I get that he has insane lightning res

but even my frost bomb is doing next to nothing

does Jamanra just have insane ele res?

[haughty relic]

How do you turn these on?

[opal eagle]

I'm throwing curses at him too

[daring dragon]

You don't need to

[hard cypress]

You 👀 at the boss to see what he is going to do

[daring dragon]

They are always on

[hard cypress]

He was the longest fight I had through all the acts. Seemed extremely chunky after I was steam rolling most of the previous sections

[opal eagle]

I've beaten him with other characters

and its WAY faster

[trim turret]

Witch doesn't have buffs for players if that's what you mean. Really any two functional builds. It's not like a class combination thing.

[wooden ravine]

you need the skill tree passive that converts red charges to power charges

[tawny coral]

When do stash tabs usually go on sale?

[daring dragon]

Every 3 weeks on the weekend

[trim turret]

Every three weeks, so should be this coming weekend.

[glad grove]

Most people play PoE solo.
Even if you play with your friends in the same party i would still recommend builds that can function by themselves.
You can use synergystic skills etc to help each other, but optimized party builds are something only really done by few people and the biggest endgame juicers.

[crude vessel]

Do the res % on charms stack?

[orchid python]

Ah ok, gotcha.

[grim hemlock]

Do Trail of Sekhemas increase in level if you visit it in act 5

Map says still level 22

[glad grove]

Wait, how are you getting endurance charges from combat frenzy?
It generates frenzy charges normally and power charges instead with the right keystone on your tree.
Are you maybe getting the endu charges from an item or something else currently?

[orchid python]

I just couldn’t decide what class to play. Friends are sorc/ranger/witch so I went monk, sorc seems fun tho

[daring dragon]

You can't do it on cruel

It all comes down to the key u are using

[glad grove]

And just not freezing/pinning/electrocuting for combat frenzy to work?

[hard cypress]

They don't scale to your level, you can steam roll them if you revisit it at a later point

[hard cypress]

Freezing gives combat frenzy. Resonance makes it power charges.

[grim hemlock]

I imagine cruel is the version 2.0 of the first 3 acts

[glad grove]

Just go with what you find cool/ enjoy the most then.

[normal ibex]

theres a monk passive that switches charges around

[daring dragon]

Exactly

[grim hemlock]

Not familiar with the codenames

[trim turret]

Pretty much all of them are a good time. But in POE it's more about the build than the class. I'm planning a melee mercenary I'm going to do at some point.

[grim hemlock]

Thanksies

[glad grove]

Yes. But they said they get red charges

So they must be getting them from something else

[hard cypress]

You need the spirit thingy too - wait nvm that's combat frenzy

[dire python]

I'm Lvl 68 and i only do 1300 dps in spark damage

So bad

[glad grove]

Or they misinterpret what they see.

[sturdy barn]

is it designed everytime a ritual is activated, detonte dead seems to be blocked inside it

[glad grove]

Combat frenzy is the spirit thing

[hard cypress]

lol ye I just realized

I use combat frenzy + resonance. Freezing gives power charges. Electrocution (not shocking) does too

[sturdy barn]

i have difficulty each time i was in it, theres no creep nor walls blocking me, nor am i situated within those purple fog, but dd cant be casted successfully

[winged quiver]

Hmm I'm tempted to play a poison ranger

[glad grove]

Poisonus concoction looks quite good.

But that is more throwing bombs that deal poison damage than shooting poison arrows.

[past furnace]

what does neversink loot filter semi strict hide

[winged quiver]

True but that's cool too

[glad grove]

Depends on your character/ zone level etc.

But mostly white items with bad base types.

[sturdy barn]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1hl55tf/wtf_happened_here_why_i_cant_cast_detonate_dead/

instinct tells me its a bug here, look like others having the same problem

[winged quiver]

I wouldn't mind a aoe poison bomb lol

[fair stream]

I shouldn't be getting them from an item, maybe a support gem but I don't think so. I have that passive tree also which changes it.. I have a high shock rate also. But I still need to strike then to get the charge..

[sturdy barn]

putting it here

[winged quiver]

I did think about merc.or monk but ehhh

[fair stream]

Ermmm yeah maybe I don't electro maybe

[glad grove]

You need to electrocute, not shock.

[hard cypress]

Shock does not give power charges with the resonance + frenzy combo

[fair stream]

Both everything in my item and skills give

Ermmmm let me double check

[hard cypress]

If you want to electrocute instead of shock, there is a support gem to put on the lightning skill

[fair stream]

Is that with a support gem I need to elect?

[stark lynx]

just note spark dps is non comparable to other skills by tooltip

[jade barn]

I'm still running into the issue of I don't do enough damage to kill bosses rn

[stark lynx]

you got your flamewall and mana tempest and what not?

if you are close to walls you do more dmg with spark

also possibly simply gear issue
