[azure lava]

it's the same exact game

you just can't trade or party with others

[crisp apex]

I see. neither way this is suck,
I buying a pillar of caged god. and got insulted. and since I play with controler . the accept window not easy for begginer.

[exotic sierra]

Chris Wilson (one of the founding devs) was set on making PoE challenging. He is why the trade system has been the way it is, something about wanting it not to be too easy to get good items.

I'm still surprised we got the currency exchange at all

[haughty niche]

They have reasons for not doing auction house style trades for items.
Some are pretty reasonable.

[humble karma]

which are-?

[exotic sierra]

most of the issues with trade imo are the people. there are alot of people that take advantage of the system which makes it worse. if you don't intend to trade something you shouldn't have it listed in the first place.

[azure lava]

The difficulty in trading is a knob they can adjust to balance the game. If trading were automatic and players could convert their drops into currency and then gear upgrades by spending zero time doing so, then items wouldn't feel like anything. The gear "grind" would be significantly shorter and people would get bored way sooner, arguably. By having friction with trade, fewer people are listing items and fewer people are buying items, which means that getting upgrades takes more time, energy, and skill

[haughty niche]

Dev time, keeping items valuable, auction house brings more of its own issues/scams, etc.

[desert ruin]

why is this temple of chaos so fkn hard

[azure lava]

because ascendancy points are good, the modifiers are rng so you can just get fucked, and your gear is likely lacking (check out https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932)

[exotic sierra]

cause ultimatum was not inherently designed to be run at low levels from what I can tell

[humble karma]

how do u wanna scam someone over AH? 😄

[haughty niche]

Price fixing changes

its done differently, but can be just as bad

Also makes it very easy for groups to completely buy out a unique

[azure lava]

buyout all the items instantly, sell them back at higher price, and buy the lower priced ones so no one can buy any items except yours. You can corner a market much more easily

[exotic sierra]

that's a pretty solid benefit to this system that I keep forgetting about

[azure lava]

I really like what last epoch did for trading, though

[desert ruin]

the boss is the last stage?

[azure lava]

yeah, the 4th round is the boss, I think

[haughty niche]

Also this is only anecdotal, but for a game with trading as tedious as it is, it has the best economy ive ever interacted with in any arpgs.

D4 barely even has trading, D3 soulbounds all items you find outside of your party, Torchlight has an auction house but anything reasonably useful is incredibly expensive after first week (Id like to avoid this if they ever did one), Last Epoch soulbounds items on purchase pretty sure? A lot of people here hate that cause it effectively removes any re-sale price of that item.

[humble karma]

i sitll dont see a problem in that...

i came from eve btw...

[exotic sierra]

from what I saw, last epoch made you choose between getting better items or being able to trade. I didn't end up playing past that decision.

[azure lava]

If the reason you don't see a problem is because you're just going to say, "Some people get screwed, but that's okay because you don't have to trade" then sure, I guess I agree. #1007725729657655347gang

[humble karma]

same like i dont see a problem at people trying to scam, i mean to be honest if someone is stupid sooner or later its going to happen in a way or another

[azure lava]

It's not just someone falling for a scam, it's the fact that a group can completely prevent ANYONE in the game from buying specific items

[haughty niche]

Id rather the duty fall on me to not get myself scammed, rather than groups of people just screwing me over against my will by buying out all the uniques

[humble karma]

no, cause u have all the nice tools in the game, that can even price check for u, in case u over pay its kinda 100% "ur" fault

[exotic sierra]

they do have systems in place in poe to prevent scamming, like the fact that both parties are required to hover the item to make sure you've seen it.

[haughty niche]

Anyway, arguing over it here isn't the best use of our time cause ggg is pretty adamant on never adding one

[azure lava]

I mean specificially for how the trading is handled. Items can only be traded once and then never again. They also limited the amount of trades you can do by tying it to a resource you can only accrue by playing the game

[exotic sierra]

I really don't like that system

[haughty niche]

The soulbound on purchase thing is what made me hate that

[exotic sierra]

same

[haughty niche]

the moment you purchase the item it becomes worthless

[azure lava]

price checkers go off of the listings on the trade site, so if a group is buying out all the cheap ones and relisting at 6x the price, the price checker is gonna say that the price is 6x the actual value

[exotic sierra]

that's why there are so many undervalued items on trade that people never respond for

it brings down the price check so people who don't know better will price things lower

[humble karma]

invest more in to preventing people from RMT all the problems will be fixed over night

[azure lava]

this has absolutely nothing to do with RMT

well

I take that back

you can still manipulate the economy without any RMT involved

[humble karma]

kinda has, the hell u doing with all that load of mirrors xD

[azure lava]

but I'd wager that people manipulating the market at least has some % of RMT-ers

[haughty niche]

usually teams that are that coordinated have at least 1 dude near the top doing RMT shit. But its totally doable for a clan of people that don't RMT to completely manipulate some items, especially in lower playercount gamemodes like HC Trade

[exotic sierra]

getting banned for RMT is plenty of incentive to avoid doing it. you should know that any site offering ingame items for any game, especially given it's not the official site, is going to be against TOS.

you'd be pretty lucky to not just get scammed out of your money on those sites

[humble karma]

i mean that all stands but, i knew before i even came over from EvE that RMT is a big thing in PoE the same way it is in EvE

[exotic sierra]

not much you can do to effectively prevent things like that from being established without the whole game being ssf

[humble karma]

without calling names, i have some russian dudes i trade in EvE since years, they are making a living from those games, i remember them talking about poe and that its lucrative for them 😂

[azure lava]

now we're definitely bordering on the "stop talking about RMT or mods will smite us" territory

[compact crypt]

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

what is armor breaker and where do I get it?

[azure lava]

I believe it's a tier V mace skill gem

[compact crypt]

skill or support?

[humble karma]

well non did say its a good thing we all agree its bs, its a part of the problem, effects the economy, i even would even say that a large amount of the fixers are involved in it in a way or another... thats it from me

[compact crypt]

it shows it as a support gem in my build

[azure lava]

skill

[azure lava]

wait, I don't see armor breaker in that skill list

oh, I see, it's on the ancestral warrior totem

yeah that checks out

[compact crypt]

they have it as a support gem on ancestral warrior totem

so I can equip it as a support gem?

[azure lava]

it's not a support

it's a skill gem that is used by the totem

[compact crypt]

so I just use it?

oh okay

[azure lava]

it sockets into the totem and the totem uses the skill

[compact crypt]

oh okay that works

makes sense

I was using the build completely wrong haha

[exotic sierra]

it's a t3 skill btw

so you need at least a lv 3 skill gem to get it

[compact crypt]

yeah I see that

thanks!

[feral stratus]

do chance orbs have different success chances? like would there be a higher chance of me successfully chancing an amethyst ring to get original sin over chancing a stellar for an astramentis?

[exotic sierra]

I would think original sin would be a similar rarity to astramentis. the amount of chanceable uniques on a base factors in as well tho.

cause if you have more common uniques that can be chanced, it can be harder to chance for the rarer ones. like the sapphire ring base which has polcirkeln and dream fragments.

[feral stratus]

alright ty

[glass kayak]

how do u guys think i should continue?

dont mind the fire bolt

[exotic sierra]

if you're struggling, maybe look up some builds and see what looks fun

[glass kayak]

alright

[exotic sierra]

looks like you have a lil bit of everything. not sure if that's just how summoners are played in poe2 rn but it looks kinda incoherent. most builds as far as I've seen use a few skills together that have some sort of synergy.

[bronze sand]

Is there an lfg where I can team up and play with someone? None of my friends play, and it’d be fun to play with someone even if just for a little bit. I’m only lvl 11 though

[thick patio]

new player - can i trade something to someone for some gold to buy gear? i have a bunch of orbs

[full galleon]

what support gems are good for Arctic Armour im level 55

[exotic sierra]

should be some reccomended ones

[exotic sierra]

There's https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714168576249887 on discord or public parties ingame

[deep vortex]

Does anyone know if this applies even if I have the affliction where monsters' speed can't be reduced below base?

[thick patio]

well im getting ready to go back out in the world ill trade an exaulted or what ever for 2k gold

[bronze sand]

Thank you 🙏

[exotic sierra]

it will reduce their action speed as long as they have action speed above base, so it would be effective against magic, rare, and boss/unique enemies but maybe not so much on normal enemies

[deep vortex]

I see, ty

[exotic sierra]

it's a pretty good boon to get usually

[swift rapids]

what do you guys think are some decent upgrades to start on atlas?

[exotic sierra]

ask those questions in https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714975082053693

[swift rapids]

ah okay my bad

[thick patio]

im going to assume since I was ignored in trade you either cant trade gold or 2k gold is worth more then an exaulted or 2?

[narrow talon]

Does anyone have a Fire quiver level 35?

[narrow frigate]

trying to look this up on the poe trade site but the "reduced bleeding duration on you" doesn't seem to be an option i can look up? Only increased bleeding duration which is an odd stat to want

[exotic sierra]

you can't directly trade gold but I believe rare items are the most valuable. last i checked currency orbs tend to all be valued at 30 gold.

[thick patio]

cant trade gold. I see well damn

oh well

[exotic sierra]

I don't want to encourage a behaviour akin to gold selling, but you could try trading some rares to your friend if you really want to help

[craggy gyro]

What level coin is needed for 2nd ascend in sekha?

the lowest ilvl?

[unborn tiger]

What is this symbol for?

[exotic sierra]

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

[exotic sierra]

can you mouse over it or are you on console?

[craggy gyro]

ty ,3

[unborn tiger]

It's from a video so I cant :(

[exotic sierra]

it's probably a buff from one of the skills in the build

[vagrant anchor]

frost mage good?

[humble karma]

kinda, "frost mage" u use minions xD

dont know if there is a other form

[radiant hatch]

anyone want to help me on count geonor

[vagrant anchor]

better than arsonist?

[exotic sierra]

just noticed that the trial of chaos half of those breakpoints is a bit off. the first one from the quest is 4 trials and will give you your 2nd ascension

that needs to be fixed

[humble karma]

maybe cause of the cc, the problem with minions is they hit at a point a ceiling and what i have encountered, mine are nearly at max btw, they start to struggle at some really juiced maps

btw that might change, when we get specters, still think arsonist is better cause its cheaper, u dont need much to get them going, gear vise u are just buying, res and es

u dont care about, mana, regen, stats, hp or the hell i know

so its cheap to build and for the price they perform really well

frost mages freeze everything in place, i think they deal less dmg, but the cc could be great, to deal with some nasty ads

probably all u need to know is on his channel
https://www.youtube.com/@GhazzyTV/videos

[thick patio]

what do i do with these stuipid amount of uncut skills gems level 1

[vagrant anchor]

roll more chaaracters

[thick patio]

i gave a bunch away

was thinking about selling them

[humble karma]

btw the best actually u can do is use arsonist for ads, snipers for boss 😂
snipers destroy single target

[radiant hatch]

anyone want to run act 2 ?

[thick patio]

im almost through 1

[compact crypt]

if you wanna join sure

[radiant hatch]

send me invite

Totanx

[craggy gyro]

there is like 3 npcs

just talk to them lmao

[compact crypt]

okay

did it

[exotic sierra]

I think they made that less intuitive at some point cause I was sure it had a quest marker over the correct person the last 3 times I went thru that quest

but just did it a moment ago and I had to click one of their dialogue options

[next yew]

what "as though" means in item description?
"Enemies Chilled by your Hits can be Shattered as though Frozen" for example

[exotic sierra]

it means that one thing works like another. in this case, frozen enemies shatter when killed, but chilled enemies don't.

[next yew]

Oh

That's cool

ty

[stone lotus]

I've been using mana tempest for a while, all the sudden I can't use it. Meet all the level requirements, any tips

literally can't use it, assign it, anything

[exotic sierra]

it's easy to chill cause you just need to hit an enemy with sufficient cold damage, while freezing them needs to be built up. so polcirkeln lets you shatter enemies much more easily to start chains of shatters with herald of ice

[next yew]

Changed armor that gave you stats that for the skill?

[exotic sierra]

check the supports for it and the limits at the top of the gem page

[next yew]

I don't have cold attacks sadly

[stone lotus]

Says requires level 52, im level 52

[exotic sierra]

there is a limit of the number of supports you can have of each attribute affinity based on how much of that attribute you have

[stone lotus]

119 int, im 190 int

[exotic sierra]

so if it's a red support, you may have switch off some gear that gives you enough strength to fit it in

for example

[stone lotus]

Oh I might have too many support. So higher strength enables more support gems?

[exotic sierra]

it depends on the supports

red supports need strength, green supports need dexterity, blue supports need intelligence

each of those will raise the respective limit to fit more of that colour support

[stone lotus]

ahhhh

ty

[exotic sierra]

the respective part of that will turn red if you don't have enough of that attribute for all the supports you have socketed

[stone lotus]

for eldritch builds, would I rather have an item with higher max mana or max energy shield since it converts it to mana

if I had to choose in this scenario

[exotic sierra]

not sure what you mean by eldritch builds, but casters generally go for energy shield for defense and mana to able to cast faster and easier. so you'd ideally want both

[floral plover]

is there a way to SWAP WEAPON SETS without SWAPPING WEAPONS?

[exotic sierra]

no

[stone lotus]

eldritch battery

converts energy shield to mana

and mana adds dmg

through arcane intensity

[exotic sierra]

oh eldritch battery. I'm not quite sure how that works, but I would expect that ES would scale the amount of es from your gear that gets converted to mana

[stone lotus]

so the only thing that adds to energy shield is a unique that gives you % of mana back

[exotic sierra]

I could be wrong tho

I might be taking that at some point since I just started another character as a sorceress so I'm sure I'll have to learn that as well

[thick zephyr]

how do i increase my support socket count? been at 2 across the board for ages

[exotic sierra]

ah, it seems I was wrong. looks like it only scales off increased/more Mana rather than increased/more ES
https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Eldritch_Battery

[honest hamlet]

any1 able to help me on a boss

[exotic sierra]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714168576249887

[exotic sierra]

get more attributes

[honest hamlet]

thanks

[stone lotus]

@exotic sierra Yeah which was my question, if + max energy shield is a 1:1 since its auto converted as +max mana

if that makes sense

[exotic sierra]

flat increases to ES should be valuable, and %increases on armour should be as well

both flat and % on armour will apply to the base amount

[thick zephyr]

i just gotta get more attributes from the passive tree?

[exotic sierra]

meanwhile % increased ES on amulets will apply globally and would not benfit eldritch battery

[exotic sierra]

or gear

[flint pike]

Hey guys im new all of the sudden i can't dodge but its still binded im on kbm does anyone know why?

[exotic sierra]

I'm not sure how you'd do it on PS but I think there should be a tooltip that tells you it allows an extra support of that type for every 5 of that attribute

[thick zephyr]

oh yea i understand that

[exotic sierra]

binded? do you mean stunned? and what's kbm?

[thick zephyr]

i meant the slots themselves per skill, i can only have 2 on 1 skill and wasnt sure how you increased it

[exotic sierra]

oh that

[flint pike]

kbm is keyboard and mouse, i was saying that the space bar is supposed to make me dodge and thats what its set to but it wont let me dodge

[exotic sierra]

you need to apply jewelers orbs to them. lesser for the 3rd slot, greater for the 4th, and perfect for the 5th and final one. tho you can corrupt them with a vaal orb to try for +/-1 level, +/-10% quality (up to 23%), or +/- 1 support slot (up to 5 total)

lesser is really common and you're find plenty to get the first 3 sockets in all your skills

[thick zephyr]

damn im just that unlucky then

2 characters and yet to find one

[exotic sierra]

how far have you gotten?

[thick zephyr]

act 3 on both

[exotic sierra]

ah, that's only half the campaign

you should push farther and you'll get better stuff

[indigo light]

act 3 normal? ain't nothing gonna drop there lmao. I've had a couple drop in act 3 cruel

[thick zephyr]

just thought i was behind, followin guides and the builds are ahead of mine in that sense of extra slots

but seems it just needs more time

[indigo light]

Yeah nah. You just slot in what you can and keep playing

[safe lance]

Doesnt act 3 have a fixed lesser jewelers orb from orok campfire?

[exotic sierra]

just think of the extra slots as a sort of priority for what you should put in when you can get those rather than a requirement for the build

[safe lance]

or am I thinking of cruel?

[exotic sierra]

I believe so

[safe lance]

lessers are very cheap btw, you can get a bunch for an exalt I think.

[exotic sierra]

I got one as a random drop before there today tho

[thick zephyr]

got 20 of those lol

[safe lance]

ah you mean greater?

and perfect

those are super rare haha, it would be like winning the lottery to find one in acts, idek if you can

[quartz crow]

does quality do anything to wands?

[thick zephyr]

really? they dropped like candy for me today

[exotic sierra]

greater seems really rare, I have yet to find one

even in maps

[safe lance]

It apparently should quality the wand granted skill but it was bugged, idk if it was fixed in 0.1.1

[safe lance]

I have found a total of 3 greater and 2 perfect iirc. But I never went super endgame on any char but do have like 2 chars > 85 and like 4 in towards end of acts.

[exotic sierra]

some of the skills and tooltips are missing info at the moment, so it can be hard to tell what doesn't have quality and what just isn't working yet

[quartz crow]

doesn't appear to do anything, i just tested on my chiming staff

[safe lance]

maybe it isnt fixed then yet, what skill does that staff grant?

[quartz crow]

sigil of power

[exotic sierra]

I got my monk to t15s and still haven't even found one greater 😅

but that's erring on the side of after acts help sort of discussion

[safe lance]

I did get them both to T15s but I meant like super endgame as in T16s and pinnacles. Either way it would be crazy to find tons of greaters in acts. You should totally trade them. Sometimes the DPS increase from adding a 4th socket to most skills is not worth what you could potentiall get from trade for those. Assuming you are in trade league.

[safe lance]

sry I havent played a wand or staff build yet. But if it were not bugged, it should've added quality to sigil of power.

[quartz crow]

thxs

[exotic sierra]

4th socket is very much worth it, even if you can only get it from corrupting. it's just the 5th/perfect slot that's not with the prices right now.

[haughty relic]

hOW/when do you get a second spirit gem? the thing that lets you get a new spirit buff?

[exotic sierra]

you can get them randomly, but unless you're using a sceptre or have some spirit on your gear or amulet, you won't be able to activate it til you complet the quest for 30 more spirit in act 3

there might also be some guaranteed ones from quests. you could check if you've missed any chest markers on the world map

[haughty relic]

Yeah, im doing a leveling guide and they recommend swapping to a differnt buff after level 21... im 24 and haven't found a second one yet.

[exotic sierra]

that's a weird guide

who made it?

[haughty relic]

scorpius

[neat tinsel]

Question is + To All Elemental resistances only adds to fire, lightning and cold and doesn't add up chaos res?

[exotic sierra]

correct

chaos is not an element

so it likewise does not get buffed by increases to elemental damage

[exotic sierra]

can you link the guide?

[haughty relic]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/zmrc20v2

[safe lance]

you can get the spirit gems themselves in keth (act 2 I think) but you are stuck with 30 base spirit until act 3 yeah. You need spirit on gear like chest or amulet, maybe the guide missed to mention.

[safe lance]

level 21-40 only has raging spirits?

[haughty relic]

yeah, he gets rid of mana remnants, but i don't have a second spirit gem to get the raging spirits yet

[safe lance]

ah you just need gems, they seem to drop in keth in act 2, just try clearing the area a few times if you dont have one yet. Not a confirmed drop but at this point I've tried like 5 chars and most of them dropped spirit gems there.

[craggy gyro]

@frosty light do u still have the belt

can i vaal it

[haughty relic]

Anyone got a good guide on how to interpret the map and icons?

[safe lance]

For acts or like actual maps?

[haughty relic]

Like the main map .. it has weird icons sometimes greyed out, just dont understand any of it. wasn't sure if there was a really good one. I can just google just wasn't sure if there was as sticky or something

[safe lance]

ah ok there is a legend for the endgame section but there isnt for acts from what I know. Some side quests also appear bugged and show as unclaimed even after claiming the reward.

@haughty relic there isnt much in acts imo. There isnt even a cohesive theme. The only things I can think of are skill icons for bosses and stash symbols for stashes. The bosses that give a permanent buff have a + near the skill. Some things have weird icons like Una's lute symbol or the tent symbol for encampments which dont really do much.

[next yew]

It's not really good right?

[haughty niche]

its not that rare of a drop. Its really nice though

poe2 doesn't have that many options to move/attack faster, but thats one of them

[next yew]

Aren't complete lack of any basic modifiers is ass tho?

[safe lance]

Onslaught gives you attack speed and movement speed, I really like it but it is true that is bad when leveling because it gives nothing else. Like 0 defenses or other stats.

[next yew]

Ye that's what I thought

[open nebula]

Hmm, looking at the Concentrated Effect (40% more area damage) support gem skill. Here's how I attack: cast Orb of Storms, throw down Lightning Rods, then fire Lightning arrows. So, should I put that Concentrated Effect support skill on the Orb, rods, or arrows? The Orb only does 7DPS, but the orb causes everything else to massively chain, so which skill would be best for the support gem?

[safe lance]

IT can be good in endgame where the rest of your gear can just cover a lot of defenses probably.

keyword is can

[haughty niche]

I know a lot of melee builds use it

cause they have basically nothing else to equip besides generic stat rares and are slow as shit so they will take whatever they can get

[next yew]

So it's a gimmick items basically

[haughty niche]

Think of it like any other tradeoff. You lose life/defensive stats in return for a very solid clearspeed increase

[safe lance]

why is onslaught not underlined btw, do they not explain how much AS, MS it gives in poe2?

I forgot, but it was a very decent amount and I used it in poe1 despite people not telling me to, it went OK.. for a while

[haughty niche]

its better in poe1

[molten salmon]

Question! Does anyone know why the trials don't work for two people on the same console!!??

[haughty niche]

But also that game has 5 flask slots and you could use a flask that gave it so it was a lot easier to fit in rather than taking a helm slot or whatever

[last mauve]

is it better to gamble for gear or buy from vendors?

[safe lance]

What happens? I have been playing couch coopy with my wife but I forget if we did trials as coop or she had to solo

[haughty niche]

i didn't get anything useful from gambling during campaign, and the vendors are great

[next yew]

Aren't trials solo thing?

[haughty niche]

in endgame vendor gambling as a partial gold sink is great tho

[haughty niche]

nope

both are doable co-op

[molten salmon]

We get trapped in the first room and can't continue

[next yew]

So I could just ask someone to help instead of bruteforcing thru it with shit build and redoing it like 50 times when I first got to it?

NIce to know

[safe lance]

trapped how? I can try tomorrow, I have a bunch of baryas I can drag her thru

Like you complete a room and the door opens right?

[haughty niche]

doesnt solve the shit build problem tho

[next yew]

It was fine for leveling, I struggled with trials mostly

I just barely had any honor and def and lost a lot of it before I could even get to the boss

[narrow frigate]

are the servers imploding? I keep freezing in place for a few seconds and getting sent to the log in screen

[molten salmon]

The door that allows you to go to the key room doesn't open so we end up getting stuck in a room constantly spawning monsters even after the timer runs out and lose all our valor

After that the game soft locks and we can't even respawn in the main room like your supposed to if you die

[safe lance]

that doesnt sound right and like a bug. Sry I dont have an answer, but can try tomorrow.

[daring dragon]

Try again, probably a bug

If needed try to avoid that type of room if possible

[safe lance]

The "have to quit game if you die" is a bug and is how it works atm.

[daring dragon]

Which might be hard to do but it's worth a shot if nothing else works

[molten salmon]

We try every time we play and between quests just to see if it'll just start working and we still encounter the same problem

[daring dragon]

Type /bug ingame abs report it on the official forum

[safe lance]

what trial room is it btw?

hourglass?

[daring dragon]

Probably

[molten salmon]

The survival room, it might be hourglass. We just have to keep killing enemies and stay alive till the timer runs out without losing all our valor

[safe lance]

kk sounds like a bug, it should stop at 1 min 30

[molten salmon]

Sadly it doesn't but I'll report it like drumheller said to. Hopefully they'll get to it sooner or later. Just means me and my brother can't ascend our characters till then

[safe lance]

try chaos trial

[safe lance]

maybe resistances over that? A lot of the elemental things are aoe and could be better to protect minions against them. My wife's playing the arsonists leveling build and I think crit was also recommended for it

crit chance, crit bonus

[vagrant anchor]

minions benefitr off crit?

[molten salmon]

How do I get the chaos trials token?

[safe lance]

I am not that into minion builds so I am just forwarding her the maxroll guide

The leveling setup uses warriors, arsonists and looks like will add clerics next.

[vagrant anchor]

all good. Lol, i keep it simple. 6 arsonist, and whatever the wand gives me

[exotic sierra]

Not aware of any guides on them, but you learn by playing that the skulls are minibosses and the chests are reward chests. any of them with a + on the icon give a passive buff but the rest can give guaranteed items that are pretty helpful

so it's good to go thru and do them all

and alot of them want you to pick up all the dropped items

[safe lance]

or you could get the oaksworn(?) shield early if you are in trade league. It gives spirit and was cheap.

[exotic sierra]

so if it doesn't gray out, you either didn't pick up everything or you have to take something to town

tho there are some in A3, both normal and cruel, that don't gray out cause they are bugged

[vagrant anchor]

i got that one. I just wondering what stats are good for jewel. Some of these jewels seem kinda high for only 2 good stats to my eyes

[safe lance]

Well if you are not opposed to it I can link you the guide, it was pretty detailed.

[daring dragon]

The first one is a quest item after the optional chimera boss in act3. Following ones are rng drops. The quest one can be used indefinitely until you beat the trial.

[vagrant anchor]

sure

[safe lance]

This is the leveling guide https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-infernalist-leveling-guide and this is the endgame version https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-infernalist-build-guide

[haughty relic]

Keth FTW, thanks for the tip!

[tired forge]

OK, I have a silly question:

How easy is it to "two screen" this game?

As in play two different characters at the same time.

[exotic sierra]

exceptionally difficult I'd expect

[frail ivy]

Bro I went from doing great dmg in act 2, 30 minutes ago and now I’m in act 3 dealing low dmg and dying in 10 seconds 😭

[daring dragon]

You get a resistance penalty with each act so check those

[safe lance]

It is expected, and gets easier in cruel acts, contrary to what one might think.

using the lesser jewlers orbs you get could also help based on what your build is.

[exotic sierra]

you need to keep upgrading your gear. everything gets harder as you go.

shops reset every time you level so make sure to check for gear upgrades if you're struggling.

[vagrant anchor]

how much is +1 level to minions worth?

[exotic sierra]

depends on the skill and the level of the skill without it

[lucid reef]

whats the hot key to show the fps graph?

[exotic sierra]

F1

[frail ivy]

I’m might need to go back to act 2 and farm money for gear ngl. Love this games grind (not sarcasm)

[exotic sierra]

yea, there can be a pretty big difficulty spike at times

but it's always been like that

[vagrant anchor]

would the +2 just be better overall in comparing the 2 sceptres

[daring dragon]

This one helps https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

[exotic sierra]

you could try swapping it in and seeing what the skill tab says for dps

[vagrant anchor]

doesnt show anything for minions unfortunately

[exotic sierra]

I would think the foe blow would be better with th 55% inc damage but I could be wrong

there's an arrow beside the dps that expands the skill info, anything in there?

you would also be losing 31 spirit with the foe blow, but that flat damage can't be doing much for you if you're over lv 46

[pliant horizon]

Does anyone still have crashes on loading screen? Especially when moving to a new map (in the acts)?

[vagrant anchor]

only damage thing is minions do 285% increased damage. No value to base it off of

[frail ivy]

Salvage bench?

[exotic sierra]

try it out and see how it feels then

[vagrant anchor]

yeah unfortunalety thats the only way to evaluate it

[exotic sierra]

I think I heard the minion tooltips are broken right now. another option could be to try putting your build into PoB

[daring dragon]

You unlock it during a sidequest in act1.

[frail ivy]

I don’t think I ever even unlocked that

[daring dragon]

In the burning village.

[daring dragon]

I highly recommend to check your map and do all the sidequests you missed.

They can reward important permanent buffs or even skill points.

[exotic sierra]

as well as gear that can help while leveling

I think the scarab miniboss in the Galleria in the the Lost City area dropped a jewel

[muted shore]

does increased elemental damage effect explosive grenades

[exotic sierra]

they deal fire damage, which is a type of elemental damage, so yes increases to elemental damage will help them

[muted shore]

lets goo

[exotic sierra]

if you hover over the term "elemental damage" it gives more information

and there are many other such terms which are underlined to indicate they have more information on them

you can also click those terms to lock those windows open and move them around freely

[arctic sorrel]

Should monk use pure evasion or evasion energy shield gear

[exotic sierra]

tho in this demonstration I also learned that there doesn't seem to be a key to close all those at once...

[muted shore]

ah i see

[exotic sierra]

depends what your build wants. what are you going invoker?

[tall abyss]

When selling, how do you estimate how much the different orbs are worth before you've unlocked the exchange?

[jaunty bluff]

How many heralds can I have active at the same time?

[exotic sierra]

if you are and your build (or your personal choice) has you taking ... and Protect me from Harm, you want to have high Evasion to make full use of it. but Monk is also in a good spot to build ES and be a very safe CI character.

[lament sentinel]

Hey, brand new, looking for guidance.

[exotic sierra]

as many as you can fit in your skill tab

well, 1 of each but then as many as you can fit

as long as you have the spirit for it

I think there are 3 heralds currently?

[jaunty bluff]

And they cost 30 spirit each? Because I cant activate 3 heralds at the same time even though I have 100 spirit

[exotic sierra]

do you have supports on them? those can increase the spirit reservation

[jaunty bluff]

Oh yeah right

Didnt think about that

Thx

Then I gotta use that armor that gives 100 spirit

[exotic sierra]

then you'll need more spirit from a body armour, amulet and/or sceptre

you don't necessarily need to use a unique armour

[daring dragon]

You can check at the currency exchange npc how the rates compared to other currency items are. Generally tho exalted is the common cheap currency and divines is the more expensive common one used for trading.

[exotic sierra]

rare body armour can have up to +61 spirit and amulets can have up to +50

[exotic sierra]

before you've unlocked the currency exchange

[daring dragon]

Anything below ex is peanuts

[daring dragon]

Hence I gave additional info yeah

[tall abyss]

Ye I guess further question is when do you unlock the exchange NPC?

[daring dragon]

Act 1 cruel

[exotic sierra]

somewhere in cruel A1, it isn't immediately available on getting there

(not even on new characters)

[jaunty bluff]

Im using a fun rapid Shot build from youtube that uses 3 dragons mask for abusing herald stacking and the cc just said to use gear that adds +X/+Y lightning damage. Any more unique gear that costs way under 1 divine that boosts my lightning/ice/fire damage without lowering my attack speed?

[daring dragon]

Unique doesn't equals good. If your guide only recommends one crucial unique then look for rares instead of additional uniques.

[arctic sorrel]

Yeah invoker

[exotic sierra]

alot of the defensive options are evasion in that area of the tree so it's a good place to stack it, but it's good to get ES wherever you can then you can stack that up as well. I went with hybrid evasion/es gear and I feel pretty safe on my monk even tho I'm hearing I have low ES for a CI build.

[jaunty bluff]

He is a new player himself, his original video didnt even include 3 dragons and the people in the comments recommended it for the build which is why he made a new 5 minute video to update the build. That’s why I am asking for any other options that could make the build even more broken

[craggy gyro]

hybrid chest on monk

then pure es to everything else

[daring dragon]

You can try going to your respective class channel in #1308715058716610580 you might get more specific advice there.

[daring dragon]

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

[jaunty bluff]

Good idea

[dark heart]

do range minion need accuracy rating in poe 2?

[open nebula]

is it common that WAY lower level items seem WAY more powerful than current level items? I'm level 22 but my level 8 bow still seems super better than anything I've found yet. just wondering if that's common or if I'm missing opportunties hehe.

[exotic sierra]

low rolls can happen at any level

it's just the nature of the gearing system

[open nebula]

hmm. so, just replaying each higher level area should in theory get me something better eventually, like a natural 20 roll if I repeat an area enough times?

[exotic sierra]

you can find item level 80 expert bows in endgame with the same mods as that composite bow lol. but that's also the only item level you can get certain mod tiers.

essentially yea

there are a couple dozen possible prefixes and suffixes which differ depending on the base and most of those can have 10 or so tiers so it's all up to chance for the most part to find good drops. if you find some essences (the mobs frozen in spikes/ice) you can get a slightly more deterministic crafting result, but I think finding essences in the campaign is purely rng.

[open nebula]

ok thanks, that's good info 🙂

[daring night]

Yeah. The endgame of this game is just replay the maps again and again (with variations) hope that RNG bless you and drops good items. So that you can go to more difficult maps. And eventually fight the pinnacle bosses

[dark heart]

anyone have an idea about this? 😦

[exotic sierra]

like skeletal sniper?

it might depend on what minion you're using

[tame fractal]

is this worth anything

[exotic sierra]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/174994786917416960

[exotic sierra]

i'm not sure what all the minion options are but I see skeletal sniper and arsonist for what could be considered as ranged minions and I would assume neither the gas cloud (snipers) nor the explosion (arsonists) would require accuracy. I could be wrong but maybe accuracy is only for melee minions.

[fiery bramble]

hey guys, do ps5 filters work for you? i tried importing 2 different ones, they show in game but nothing changes

[exotic sierra]

did you refresh them after applying them

[frigid mango]

I completed the first Ascendency. I'm trying to figure out the best time to attempt my 2nd and 3rd ascendency's. Is there any benefit to waiting until I'm higher level to do them? Do they scale with my level or will leveling up make them easier?

[exotic sierra]

you can do them at any time. they don't scale with character level, they just go by the level of the area they are dropped in (+1 if dropped from a rare enemy, +2 if dropped from a unique/boss)

[frigid mango]

So if I have trouble, leveling up a bit should make it easier?

[cyan heart]

does gold reset in hardcore? on death

[exotic sierra]

being over leveled can help you handle them better if you're struggling cause you can come back with more passive bonuses and better gear

[frigid mango]

Thank you so much

[exotic sierra]

I would assume your gold would stay in hardcore when you die and get booted to softcore, since my time in softcore has taught me that all characters share the gold you get in a league

[tired forge]

Welp

I am L82 and I still have not seen my first Divine Orb 😛

I feel distinctly sodomised by the RNG

[vagrant anchor]

you have rarity on gear?

[tired forge]

+70, so not much but not nothing

[austere thistle]

I just made it to ogham manor and these boiling blood baths seem to insta kill me is there any thing I can do?

[craggy gyro]

all day people spewing nazi shit, and i get muted for saying people have lost perspective

@craggy gyroOther people being racist doesnt justify you using that language though

Two wrongs doesnt make a right 😄

[craggy gyro]

[daring dragon]

Wrong channel mate

[daring dragon]

Thanks for taking yourself out

[sacred agate]

You need to calm down.

[craggy gyro]

All day people are spewing hate speech

all day

and nothing

[sacred agate]

Then report it.

[craggy gyro]

I do

[sacred agate]

Then move on. You spewing foul language back at them doesnt solve anything

[vagrant anchor]

lmao, 1st world dramas.

i dont where Kripparian got the notion that poe2 has no chill gameplay, but Infernalist - Arsonist build is super, extremely chill. The only hard part is getting up to grab a beer. I thought LA Ranger was it. But this might very well be it.

[spice jay]

does anyone know why item drops disappear after like 5 seconds

[bronze sand]

Wow king of the mists is like not a good boss

Yo sit still so I can shoot you otherwise I’ll make you sit still so I can shoot you. 🥴

[sacred agate]

Stop listening to mainstream streamers 🤣

Half of the stuff they say is highly opinionated

[safe lance]

This is also an opinion so it is now a paradox

[vagrant anchor]

the irony

[sacred agate]

Nah. Just stop being a sheep. Try out what you like

[safe lance]

do you have a loot filter on? Are you playing solo?

[blazing mason]

So can you not use two of the same support gems even if they aren’t on the same skill it’s doesn’t seem to be letting me

[meager galleon]

correct

[sacred agate]

Nope

Not unless you are a Gemling

[meager galleon]

yeah the mercenery can get a thing if he ascends to gemling legionare where he can use 2 copies of the same support

[blazing mason]

So there really is no point in making more then one of them

[meager galleon]

nope

unless you make a second char and dont want to canibalize your first one for supports

[blazing mason]

Dumb I wanted to put conduction on all my lighting spells

[meager galleon]

in poe1 you could do that

in poe2 they decided to do some big changes to the gem system, and then 1 support limit is one of those major changes

[safe lance]

or you could play gemling if you want to do that

I think that is still limited to 2 though

[blazing mason]

Do they get to do it as many times as they want or is it like once

Ahh nm

[safe lance]

My gemling is still using a twink leveling setup and I havent even tried it out but I think it still had a limit.

[blazing mason]

Damn I see want a bummer I wasted a few oh well I wonder why they decided to go this way I kinda prefer the old way on this one

[meager galleon]

it alows them to give more power to individual supports

also better control of balance

[safe lance]

probably makes builds more interesting to make instead of slapping a mult projectiles/scattershot on everything

[blazing mason]

Okay yeah I see that point

[safe lance]

but I do feel most supports are boring in terms of what they do compared to poe1

[meager galleon]

i agree there a little, but i'm reserving my judgmenet for when all the gems and weapons are ingame

[safe lance]

Was hoping for things like projectiles now shoot out of your mines, your eyes, nose etc, that was crazy and also cool

poe2 will probably be like that in 10 years too I guess

[meager galleon]

we'll see how they will decide to maintain/change the gameplay speed and chaos

[quaint tusk]

Does every enemy do chaos damage?

If not, which enemies do chaos damage

[vagrant anchor]

out of curiosity, would heralds work on minion builds?

[vernal lily]

Guys i didnt have slot for book of specialization and picked it up. Now it is gone. I tried fighting the boss again but it is not dropping

What do i do ggg please fix

[summer shard]

Can I respec my acendance points?

[scenic salmon]

Sure

[mental horizon]

How to level up fast guys?rn 31

[meager galleon]

no, in fact chaos should be the least common dmg type you will see, and in general if you see purple or green effects, thats probably chaos

[meager galleon]

herald only buffs you, its not applied to minions

[fair stream]

Much appreciated for this dude! Now I'm spamming Charged staff! No mana haha

What does mana leached mean?

[meager galleon]

portion of the dmg you deal you get back as mana over time

afaik there are only phys dmg leeched as mana mods

[fair stream]

I see it on my passive tree, but I don't think I have skills or support gems that gives it back. Unless the trees gives it? Without needing it somewhere first

[meager galleon]

the stuff on the tree only increases how much you get, so you need to get the actual leech from somwhere else first

[stark lynx]

0 multiplied by anything is still 0

[fair stream]

Yeah thanks haha, I was thinking that also tbh

Just need a mana leach from somewhere then, cause my charged staff just bleeds me dry lol. I start Cruel mode today!

I need a 4th support slot to add the 40% less cost gem,besides that I can't do much I think maybe add something to HoT? No idea

[strong bloom]

Is overseer tablet effective to citadel map?

Can I get double fragment?

[balmy gust]

you guys have any recs for a class for someone whos never played?

[languid heart]

Minions

[native lynx]

Just do the campaign. you will be ~65 when you hit maps

[meager galleon]

what kind of playstyle do you enjoy in rpg games ?

[balmy gust]

like arpgs? never played one tbh xD

[meager galleon]

and in other rpgs?

mobas ?

[balmy gust]

league

graves otp

so like ranged

[meager galleon]

lemme check what guides are around, but either mercenary or ranger

[warped crane]

anyone know how to sell on console? i got the premium stash tab and getting whispers but its not showing up on my social menu

[meager galleon]

would you prefer lightning dmg or gas and explosions ?

[shut abyss]

buyer whispers
sellers invites them to party
buyer comes to you(usually)
seller iniates the trade

[balmy gust]

what does explosions look like?

[warped crane]

hey thanks i appreciate it - issue is that i only get the whisper and i dont have any ability to find their name or invite them

[shut abyss]

for that on playstation i do not know

[meager galleon]

urm i dunno what the heck is going on but my characters stuck in act 1 cruel - when i talk to the hooded one the game just disconnects wtf

anyone had a similar experience / have a solution?

[tired forge]

I dont suppose anyone here plays Eve Online?

[tired flax]

not for a long long time

[meager galleon]

same, its been years since i played eve

[shut abyss]

long long time ago when brave was founded

[tired forge]

Hmm

[tired flax]

@shut abysssame here... was playing before that but just carebearing

[shut abyss]

i think i was most active around early brave but played before and after ofc

[tired flax]

after Brave and Test split I joined Test for a bit, then life got in the way... that game is hard to play for short stints

[shut abyss]

i was never in brave but i loved that whenever you parked your ship next to their station you would meet endless kitchen sink fleet

[tired flax]

kitchen sink fleet was best fleet... i had so many fun nights playing in that chaos

it was fun because everyone knew if they came to our system they would get some sort of fight... most likely 100 atrons or some bullshit but it was always a laugh

a bomber camped us for a few weeks multiboxing. He took out about 100 of us in one hit once

[echo rivet]

Hi guys, ive been wondering last few days what is actually going to happen with all the gear and currencies ive grinded so hard over the past three weeks in POE2?

Iam playing POE2 for the first time in my life and ive been able to farm quite a lot of divines already, but since i no longer need many upgrades for my build, i started to wonder what is gonna happen with everything ive farmed so far when a new league will start? Is all of it gonna be worthless? In new League, will i start completly from scratch, with empty stash? If so, then was all the effort ive put into farming currencies completly useless?

Can someone help me out on explaining how does the new league start works and whats your mentality on this? Thx!

[tired flax]

New leagues start from scratch, old stuff gets merged into a standard league

that's how POE 1 did it anyway

[echo rivet]

What about the coins and divine orbs?

[tired flax]

it all goes into a standard league, but it's a good thing to reset everything. Can still play the standard if you like, but everyone plays the new leagues

[echo rivet]

So divine orbs will go to the standard league?

What if after 3 league resets, will all the divine orbs go to standard league? Won't the tabs be overfilled?

[tired flax]

the new league will be like starting for the first time, you start with yourself on the beach with noting in your pockets. Yes it all combines into the standard league, but will be of little use as barely anyone plays it and it gets stale

your tabs come in as remove only

don't stress about it. You will see its a good thing to reset it. everyone starts from scratch again, and it keeps everything freshish

you're exited again when you get your first exalt drop, let alone divine... etc

[echo rivet]

Remove only means

[tired flax]

it means the tabs from the previous league comes over, but you can only remove the items from those tabs. So if you don't have room for it in your normal tabs you can't put it anywhere.

[sturdy barn]

hi, any knows where to check implicits of items like checking mods in poedb?

[robust hill]

Are u answering ur self or asking

[sturdy barn]

poedb seems to only shows modifiers

[fathom crescent]

You farm currencies for this league but yeah once the new league starts that farm is not carried forward. So definitely don't just farm for no reason 🙂 New leagues are super fun though because the economy resets and everything gets "cheaper." I wouldn't worry to much about not needing the stuff that goes to standard. As a PoE1 player, i literally never have logged into standard :S

[robust hill]

Do u mean enchants? For corruption there's a page for that. Implicits are already unchangeable

[sturdy barn]

implicits, the corresponding type of implicit that only rolls for certain gear

[tired flax]

that's the same with me... I might log in and see just how much crap I have in there for a laugh

[robust hill]

They never change tho , there's only implicits for some items and u can't change them.

[fierce hare]

sekhemas trial - afflictions:
Monsters do 30% more damage - also means bosses do more damage?

[sturdy barn]

for example, implicit +spirit only ever rolls on shaman mantle for body armor, i want to find a list of what gear always giving which type of implicit

[robust hill]

There isnt just check bases , like if u want armour implicits go for the armour bases page

There is no other armour that gives spirit implicit tho

[sturdy barn]

is this from poe1?

[twin yoke]

as spark player... where can i get more spirit? ... armour and?

[tired flax]

I don't think spirit was a think in PoE 1

[shut abyss]

amulet

[twin yoke]

nothing else ? right?

[twin yoke]

hmmm

[robust hill]

Helmet enchant

[tired flax]

scepters too

[fierce hare]

im in front of the last boss of sekhemas trial level 3 - with 580 honor 😒 is it possible that someone join me for boss fight - or is it not possible someone joining?

[crisp apex]

do anyone have pillar of caged god ?

[shut abyss]

sure i can help

invite mopparii

[fierce hare]

how does it work, you go in with full honor? 😄

[shut abyss]

no we share it so just don't get hit and actually invite moppari i'll test something

[balmy gust]

So am I to understand that the weapon you have determines what spells you can use ?

Not the class ?

[undone kernel]

Yes and no because you can say have any weapon in ur inventory but not equipped and now you can use that weapons spells as well no need to equip it

[shut abyss]

wat

[craggy gyro]

can i carry someone once to get all 8 of their ascendancy points?

[minor nova]

U can only use certain spells based on weapon TYPE, like crossbow/quarterstaffs have their own specific skills accessible only when using any of them, but there are also items with spells embedded into them you can't take off and come with the item once equipped

[minor nova]

If it's in sekhemas 4 yea

[craggy gyro]

what about trial of chaos 10 triakl

[minor nova]

A lot of skills just have a attribute requirement though and nothing to do with weapon, so keep that in mind

[minor nova]

10 trial of chaos doesn't give ascendancy, the trial master fight does (and idk if it gives all 8)

Most carry in trade chat use sekhemas

U can just go in solo reach the final boss and invite ur friend

[safe lance]

There are skills granted by gems, granted by weapons (some of these also exist as gems) and skills granted by passives. Among the skills granted by gems, a lot of them have a restriction saying "requires this specific weapon(s)"

[craggy gyro]

bet, thank you

[rancid lintel]

which white items are worth a few ex?

[minor nova]

If ur friend can't join the sekhemas trial portal out into the caravan and have him tp to caravan with you, then you go together with him into sekhemas

[rancid lintel]

i keep seeing like some rings and amulets but normal rarity

[minor nova]

Yes

Sapphire rings and stellar amulets

Sapphire rings can roll polcerkeln and dream fragments (very very very rare) and stellar amulets can roll astramentis (also very very very rare) when combined with a orb of chance

There's also heavy belts which can roll headhunter heavy belt

But from what I remember sapphire and stellar fetch a decent price

[rancid lintel]

alr will be on the lookout

[minor nova]

Stellar amulets specifically sell for a lot of exalt roughly 30+

[rancid lintel]

dayum

[minor nova]

Which is funny but I'm not sure if it's people gambling or if there's a way to raise the rates to get astramentis easier

[rancid lintel]

sounds like gambling lmao

so every other normal ring pretty much worthless unless it's sapphire

[safe lance]

you can still use white bases to craft gear and use, but regal orbs are probably not that many in acts for it to be worth, idr how easy they were to find tbh.

[humble orbit]

how important all dex/str/int status for your damage or defense? or are they only used for gear/skills stat check?

[shut abyss]

you should hover over them ingame and see what they actually do

[humble orbit]

oh okay didnt knew you could do that, thanks

[minor nova]

Normal rings are still valuable if their main stat roll is high

Because you can curate rings you need potentially with essences

[humble orbit]

but in general I should mostly focus on other stats on gear and str/dex/int only as a bonus if they are there?

[minor nova]

They're mainly for stat requirements on skills and items

But there's some builds that like stacking attributes for other benefits like invoker monks using HOWA

So it depends

[humble orbit]

thanks, I just keep getting good deals on items without them and just started to worry if I should be focusing more on these things

[minor nova]

Depending on your build you might need to make an investment in something but yeah

[echo rivet]

Thank you. I am still a bit confused what happens to stash tabs like 😅 to they exist both in standard and what if subsequent leagues currencies get transferred to standard league and standard league tabs gets overfilled.

[minor nova]

When I played witch I only needed one piece with intelligence and that was it

[craggy gyro]

what

[humble orbit]

I run concoction build, and not lacking anywhere in stats department as far as I know. My gear comes mostly with dex/int requirements

[minor nova]

Oh you're the same class as me

Your spread is pretty normal as well

For level 87

Without attribute based pieces too

I don't think the attribute added benefits like the 1% attack speed per x dexterity matter too much

[humble orbit]

thanks, I'll just keep focusing on getting enough stats for gear and skills for now and see if later I can add some gear with dex/int bonuses

[minor nova]

Yeah if you find that you can't equip an item or skill gem level like 20 for example because of int/dex requirement then I'd consider upgrading a piece (if it's not too expensive)

[humble orbit]

for concoction build main damage comes from ascendancy skill so I don't really have to mind stats requirement for that so it's good haha

but keep that in mind when I upgrade my other skills thanks

[minor nova]

No prob I use the other variant with the corpsewade boots It doesn't play like a ranger at all but the poison stuff has been very fun

[humble orbit]

ye exactly the same, it's my third build and the one which finally clicked for me, I had summoner and ice strike monk before but they both lacked something

and this poison pathfinder just have everything in it

maybe bossing sucks sometimes, and gear costs like 2-3div to get going but so far amazing

[clever geode]

Pretty sure u did something wrong

[humble orbit]

at building previous characters?

[clever geode]

Summoner and ice strike are dam strong

Just too meta i guess

Stuff get expansive

Arnt poison concoction expansive this days too?

[humble orbit]

ye ice strike dps is way bigger than mine, but I hated getting randomly one shotting without ever knowing why and I thought it was mostly because I was always in melee range, other than that it was amazing. As for summoner it always somewhat lacked dmg but it also was my first build ever so maybe it was just wrong, but also these summoners randomly despanwing and stuff just made it not super enjoyable

[clever geode]

Getting 1 shotted seem like you lacking in defensive stuff

[humble orbit]

plate costs like 2-3 divs, but other than that you can get most parts for 1-2 ex in my experience. Also I'm nowhere near endgame gear yet so maybe it costs way more there

[clever geode]

Which plate?

[shut abyss]

i had the opposite when going from monk to ranger but i fixed it by adding more damage D: and some energy shield

[humble orbit]

im super noob at poe2 yet so my whole opinion and experience may wary strongly

[clever geode]

Monk are pretty tanky if u play it right

[humble orbit]

let me get to game real quick, dont know all names by heart haha

[clever geode]

Have good eva and es

[clever geode]

Which part of the gear

I do have poison concoction as well so i might know

[humble orbit]

oh, armor one?, queen of the forest coat

[clever geode]

Ah

U dont really need that tbh

Its like 1.5 div last i check

[humble orbit]

it also might be that I like concoction most because its my most recent character and I had all previous experience while building it

[visual onyx]

Even with a chaos build, is there even a reason to use withering touch? The stacks dont refresh upon hit, so you can only get like 4-5 at a time

[clever geode]

I keep dying with poison concoction with budget gears

[clever geode]

Iirc use the support gem on high hit rate skills

Like for bow rain of arrow

[visual onyx]

ahhhh ok now i understand

yeah that makes sense like for the armor piercing rounds as an example right?

[clever geode]

Yeah i get like 10 stacks and boss dies

Idk i dont use crossbow

[humble orbit]

have really no idea what budget gears mean, if it's in 1-2ex range or more, but I feel my concoction build was similar to monk one as I have lot's of es and evasion so never really getting hit or noticing getting hit. Also again, I'm super newbish so I might be doing way too easy stuff

[clever geode]

All my gear added together is less then 20ex

Only the unique cost abut more

Other then that all 1ex for self found

[sturdy barn]

has anyone seen Corvus Mantle drops in end game? I seem never been able to see it drops, nor can i find any listed on trade site?

[shut abyss]

generally uncapped resistances and lack of health/evasion/energy shield gets you killed fast

[clever geode]

Yeah

I changed to cold concoction

[sturdy barn]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Corvus_Mantle

[clever geode]

And it just destroy everything with 0 res

Can't touch me

[shut abyss]

and freezes i'm guessing?

[minor nova]

Well ice monk needs a lot of divines of investment probably close to 100 divs

[humble orbit]

I feel like I mostly die because of there are lot's of poison smoke on screen and I can't see and keep standing on some damaging puddle haha

[clever geode]

You dont say

Cof

[shut abyss]

freeze best tank

[clever geode]

With ice mark

Is fun

It chains

U dont get 1 single explosion

U get multiple

[minor nova]

Where you getting the budget monk build from to do diff 4 pinnacle then if it doesn't cost close to 100

Because the 1k eva/ 400 es chest alone cost close to 25 div

And ideally you'd want howa and ingenuity

[sturdy barn]

how about Corvus Mantle, i seem to recall finding it in Campaign but never sees it in end game drop, can anybody confirms?

[robust hill]

it could be a lower lvl base or something

[shut abyss]

haven't killed dif 4 pinnacle yet but doubt it needs 100 divs

[robust hill]

some gear are pretty much the same thing just gets higher lvl , like dualstring bow , advanced dualstring and expert dualstring

[shut abyss]

allthough when you get to that point you probly have 100 div

[minor nova]

What's ur ice strike dps

[clever geode]

Iirc only 1 base give spirit

[minor nova]

And what's ur ES/evasion

[shut abyss]

idk, could be more

[sturdy barn]

is it a bug then? it suppose to be another option apart from shaman mantle for giving spirit as an implicit?

but since it does not has an expert option as of now it simply got cut from end game loot pool?

[minor nova]

Certain tiered items that drop in endgame can carry the implicit spirit iirc

[robust hill]

if u're looking for spirit , helmet enchant, armour , necklase , scepters

u shouldnt ever need more than these, thats already plenty

[minor nova]

And yeah amulets can carry 50, shields can carry spirit too, even body Armour already has a spirit roll available to it

Without implicit

[sturdy barn]

i m not just looking for spirit i m looking for spirit and energy shield options for armor and thats how we come to this

[minor nova]

Spirit doesn't have to be implicit to be on the body piece

It can come as an actual roll

[sturdy barn]

....

who doesnt know that

[minor nova]

Well I guess I'm not understanding the dilemma

[sturdy barn]

theres an armor option thats either not in the game right now or got overlooked and not included in the loot pool

[clever geode]

Maybe corruption?

[minor nova]

I've gotten implicit spirit rolls from trials of chaos 10 rooms so

[clever geode]

Idk

[minor nova]

And yeah the pieces I did see with it r corrupted

[clever geode]

There is only 1 base armor iirc that give spirit

[sturdy barn]

it should not be requiring rolls on corruption

[minor nova]

He's saying the piece ur mentioning doesn't drop endgame

[robust hill]

why do u want armour?

[clever geode]

it does

just kind of rare

[minor nova]

To which I don't have an actual answer because I can't recall it

[sturdy barn]

can someone explain otherwise why no these armor options after campaign?

[robust hill]

why not just go pure energy shield and ignore the 30 spirit implicit

[minor nova]

Submit bug report otherwise I'd say ur just unlucky

[sturdy barn]

already submitted

[clever geode]

I seen them rarely

[robust hill]

u do realize that both of those spirit armours , have the same spirit , armour and es

[sturdy barn]

its not about ME being unlucky lol isnt it?

[sturdy barn]

yes, even appearance matters say

no?

[robust hill]

i'd say corvus is a campaign drop , like the lvl 1 bow that stops dropping after a specific lvl

they have a cutoff ilvl where monsters dont drop them and drop the "better" higher lvl gear

[sturdy barn]

proceeded to check other "missing" armor types

[clever geode]

Ido t15

Iseen them

[sturdy barn]

but if maybe it was intended even both kind of mantles expert versions have diff base es value, then it wld make a difference

[tidal berry]

So I got a djinn barya that says "Completing this ascension trial will not grant additional ascension skill points"
Is there ever a scenario where I don't want ascension skill points?

[visual onyx]

how do i see urns/boulders/switches without hovering over them

[rigid elk]

watching some older build guides for spark mage. does everlasting gaze still work with Eldritch Battery, or was it nerfed?

[safe lance]

you can use it to farm relics or just gear/currency in general but usually not worth it if its low levels. You can also use it for alt chars or trade it.

[clever geode]

Works

[tidal berry]

so I get more relics/gear if i don't get ascendancy points?

[safe lance]

yea from the chests, if you are comfortable and find doing this activity fun, you can run those. Getting better relics will obv make you stronger for future runs and the rest is like normal drops.

[minor nova]

Well hold on

[rancid lintel]

i'm so dumb i only just activated herald of thunder

this whole time i thought it was on

[tidal berry]

wait I'm a bit confused. Can't I still get the chests and stuff AND get the points? I've only done one trial so I'm not too informed on it

[minor nova]

You doing djinn barya without getting extra points is just a regular djinn barya

[safe lance]

you can, but you can run these just for the chests if you wish or you can just trash them. The ones above level 60 could be be worth trading.

[minor nova]

It has to say you'll get points for you to get points

And you only get 8 points so after getting those points any runs of djinn barya would just be to get loot from monsters in there/chests

[tidal berry]

ah, so djinn baryas are a different trial altogether and not a relic modifier

[safe lance]

yep

[tidal berry]

alrighty, that makes sense. Dunno why they're still called ascension trials tho

[safe lance]

The entire thing is called a trial, and each floor is also apparently called a trial and each room is also called a trial room. I guess they just quickly slapped the text together to release

[tidal berry]

yeah lmao, feels like it would've been less confusing to just call it a trial of sekhema or whatever instead of giving the whole "This is an ascension trial that doesn't give ascendancy points" text

[feral frost]

im so buns this boss rathbreaker i cant beat 😭

[clever geode]

who's thay guy again?

[feral frost]

like big hyena idek

[clever geode]

dont rmb

[feral frost]

its smth ugly

[safe lance]

the poe1 terms for this was sanctum and each room is a room and the series of rooms that end with a boss is called a floor. For 1st ascendancy you need to do a 1 floor, for 3rd you need 3 floors (hence 3 bosses) etc. Its simpler to just call them that.

Do it in melee range, just hug him and stay on his back all the time. That actually works for like 90% of acts bosses.

[feral frost]

its only cause he spawns so many mobs i cant kill in time and i get bombarded by things that do half my hp

[clever geode]

i really dont rmb

got a ss of the face?

[safe lance]

It is the first boss in act 2 before you get in caravan

[feral frost]

its first boss of act 2 idrk what to say

yea

[clever geode]

ah

that

horse

[safe lance]

it is not a horse

[quartz nest]

Why cant i use this quiber

I have a bow

[safe lance]

you are using the wand and shield

swap to weapon set 2 if you want to use bow and quiver

[quartz nest]

Ok so the 100 chqnge to pierce doesnt work when using spells/wand?

[safe lance]

nope

[feral frost]

no cause its not a bow

[safe lance]

only stats from the weapon being used

[feral frost]

and its a dif wep set

[feral frost]

just idk if i should level up if that would do anything i just dont have the aoe

[quartz nest]

But my bow has +1 projectiles rank so even if i use wand/spells it works right?

[safe lance]

no

Only the active weapon's stats are taken

[placid chasm]

Good morning guys, I'm a beginner and I just downloaded poe2, I wanted to know the name of the character whose class is stormweaver, I'm on the following screen

[safe lance]

sorceress

leftmost

[placid chasm]

thank very much bro, have a good day

[safe lance]

np, GLHF

[feral frost]

i mean im doing stomr weaver just for begining campain then changing what i would like

[azure lava]

It should work as long as you have the quiver equipped. It just says "100% chance to piece an enemy". It doesn't specify arrows or attacks

[safe lance]

you cant

for some reason they've decided you are stuck with whatever ascendancy you pick

[feral frost]

i havent picked a secondary so im good rn

[azure lava]

But "equipped" means actively using it, not just having it in your other weapon set

[feral frost]

mostly cause i cant beat this dumb boss

[real glade]

Why can't I pick up the crossbow..? I tried disabling loot filter didn't help

[safe lance]

no multiclassing btw, you are forever stormweaver. You just get to put more points into it from the next trials.

[feral frost]

do you have space

[azure lava]

What crossbow? I don't see any item nameplate

[real glade]

Yes. I dropped a weapon from my inventory and now I can't pick it up either.. weird

[safe lance]

Well firstly on console, enable item highlighting

I think its L2+ down arrow or something

or go to settings and set it to on always and never turn it off

[shut abyss]

"i like it the way it is" i think he said

[rose cairn]

As a minnion witch am i searching for energy shield armor or evasion armor?

[safe lance]

its arleady hard to pick up items on console, this is going to make it infinitely worse.

[feral frost]

shucks well thats alrr igg

[azure lava]

Neither. Everyone wants movement speed on boots and as much max life and resistances on gear as possible

[safe lance]

try #2┃looking-for-group for help. This channel is for Q&A so its mostly people trying to pass time at work etc replying to others. gl

[rose cairn]

i mean like what kind of armor do i use im new
armor with armor
armor with evasion
armor with energy shield

[real glade]

Thanks. Highlighting helped.. are you meant to play with it off?

[safe lance]

turn it on and never touch it again haha. You always want to see item labels.

[azure lava]

And I'm saying none of those matter compared to life, resistances, and movement speed. Use whatever has the best life and resists regardless of type

[feral frost]

oh yea i have a staff with level 5 lightning bolt should i use that or my other spells for dmg i havent rlly seen a difference but idek

[rose cairn]

how do i get those

[safe lance]

*and you use right stick to toggle between a bunch of dropped items in case you didnt know

[rose cairn]

u mean the traits?

[azure lava]

They're mods that can roll on gear. Check out https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

Mods/affixes is what they're called usually

[safe lance]

sry I havent played any sorc. I think spark is the most popular

[azure lava]

For leveling just about anything, I'd recommend https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1326972100409426081

But spark+flame wall is decent

[safe lance]

it gets a bit boring but very effective yeah

[azure lava]

Yeah, the visuals are noisy, the noise is noisy, and you might lose fps, but rod+orb shreds bosses like I've never seen on a first campaign playthrough

[feral frost]

mostly its annoying cause i have 3 spells that deal dmg because i have points into lightning dmg
and its just hard to figure that crap out

[safe lance]

if you are not opposed to it, take a look at maxroll spark sorc leveling guide

[azure lava]

If you think you have it bad with three spells... Oh boy

[feral frost]

i have the first 3

spark orb and chain i think

im only level 18 so

[azure lava]

What do you mean first three? There are dozens of skills/supports you can use at level 1

[feral frost]

these 3 i belive

[azure lava]

Spark, orb of storms, and arc?

[safe lance]

I assumed have = currently using

[feral frost]

i think arc yea

[azure lava]

Are you running into any issues?

[feral frost]

bosses

and large swarms

[azure lava]

Can you screenshot your weapon and list the support gems you're using?

[feral frost]

yea gimme a sec

[azure lava]

[placid chasm]

guys, what should I buy with my initial 300 coins?

[shut abyss]

wait for tab sale that should be in couple of weeks

[placid chasm]

how does this work?

[pale kindle]

Does anyone know if we will lose all our currency when the game comes out?

[shut abyss]

then(or now if you must) you probly want currency tab, atleast one premium tab for selling rest if quality of life

[fierce hare]

yes, there will be a reset.

[shut abyss]

they will be left in their own league

[fierce hare]

at least for leagues, with standard idk

[pale kindle]

Dam all that farming

[safe lance]

I think they said they might leave it in its one early access thing and not merge to standard

[safe lance]

welcome to this genre of games 🙂

[shut abyss]

no no we're testing so we can farm when the game comes out

[pale kindle]

Yeah but as someone who’s that doesn’t always have time to play it kinda sucks

[lament stone]

poe is a seasonal game

each new season is a fresh start

[feral frost]

support are persistence and acceleration on spark orb of storms just has conduction

[azure lava]

That's probably the worst staff I've ever seen

[feral frost]

ik lol

[shut abyss]

afaik guild wars 2 is the only viable game with vertical progression

[lament stone]

please dont tell me you use annuls on that

[azure lava]

You regaled a one mod staff

Or annulled it

[feral frost]

yea idk why 🤷‍♂️

[azure lava]

Horizontal*

[lament stone]

regaling a 1 mod item wouldnt be so bad, its still bad tho

annuls are rarer than divines

[shut abyss]

brain not working properly today

[safe lance]

diagonal

since it is progression

[feral frost]

i just dont know a good staff to have i dont need any mana regen so 🤷‍♂️

[safe lance]

you need damage

[azure lava]

Yeah so if you go to any arcane vendor and buy literally any staff it'll probably be an upgrade

[feral frost]

okay

[lament stone]

something that has increased spell damage

[pale kindle]

Is there an estimate release date yet?

[lament stone]

• to level of spell skill gems, cast speed

[safe lance]

and weapons are usually the easiest to get it

[azure lava]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932 has some info on what to look for in weapons

[lament stone]

6-12 months (from december)

[pale kindle]

So summer or sometime this year

[lament stone]

they want the full release before the end of this year

[feral frost]

theres a wand level 18 im level 17 thats 20% extra spell dmg should i level up to gert that its the only good one i see

[pale kindle]

Alright thanks yall

[lament stone]

gain as extra isnt as good as increased spell damage

[feral frost]

its increased mb

[tiny scroll]

is there an event at this location?

[safe lance]

nothing atm

[quartz nest]

Which is better for spark/lightning sorceress?

[azure lava]

Your staff is basically white so any beneficial dps mod will be an upgrade

[azure lava]

Equip them both and compare dps. If they're remotely close, I'd use the right one since it has resists

[feral frost]

OKAY

[quartz nest]

Ohhh

[fathom crescent]

Not sure if someone responded. But they create copies of your tabs that you can only take stuff out of. So there is no worry of “running out of space”

[azure lava]

"Remove-only" versions of tabs from the temporary league get added to the permanent league. So in standard you'll have, for example, two currency tabs. One is normal, but the other one you cannot deposit anything into, only remove. Same for all your other tabs. If you remove all the items from a remove-only tab, the tab disappears

[echo rivet]

Ohhhhhh MAKES SENSE NOW. So is there a limit to remove only tabs or there can be many?

[quartz nest]

What is a ”mapping bow” used by sorcerers?

[echo rivet]

It makes sense now. Thank you!!

[azure lava]

some people, like me, have literally hundreds of remove-only tabs in standard league of poe1 because they never bothered with it. There's no limit

[safe lance]

they probably shoot a lightnign rod with bow and then cast other skills with wand/staff? I haven't played sorc but a lot of builds do use LR.

[echo rivet]

Clears up everything.

[echo rivet]

Hi guys, ive been wondering last few days what is actually going to happen with all the gear and currencies ive grinded so hard over the past three weeks in POE2?

Iam playing POE2 for the first time in my life and ive been able to farm quite a lot of divines already, but since i no longer need many upgrades for my build, i started to wonder what is gonna happen with everything ive farmed so far when a new league will start? Is all of it gonna be worthless? In new League, will i start completly from scratch, with empty stash? If so, then was all the effort ive put into farming currencies completly useless?

Can someone help me out on explaining how does the new league start works and whats your mentality on this? Thx!

Check this blurb of text too I want your opinion and tips too

[quartz nest]

How do you shoot a lightning rod with bow? :0

[azure lava]

Using the lightning rod bow skill

[safe lance]

it is a skill called "lightnign rod" when you socket a skill you can choose which weapon it uses

but in this case it can only use bow

[shut abyss]

you take a rod and put lightning in it

[safe lance]

yea season/league has a new mechanic and thats why people return to these games. Otherwise itd be a one and done like the state you are in now.

[visual onyx]

Does ignite support gem ignite the gas cloud if i shoot at it with for example bone blast or chaos bolt?

[safe lance]

Idk a lot about poe1 but I'd assume very few people even play standard.

[azure lava]

At least as far as my poe1 knowledge goes, basically no one plays the permanent leagues. People play the new league with a clean slate, make as many characters as they want, progress as far as they want, then they take a break until the next league. People refer to standard (the permanent league) as the landfill where all the items go to become worthless

[feral frost]

im playing standered to learn then ima go to hardcore prob

[azure lava]

Read the gas cloud gem carefully. It should say what things can ignite it

[safe lance]

Diablo 4 seems to have a bigger eternal player base and I never understood their logic. But the game recently has had base changes (big overhauls to systems) so I had to eat my own words.

[quartz nest]

Any idea why pne would use lightning rod as a sorcerer with a bow?

[safe lance]

its OP

[robust hill]

for boss dmg prob

[azure lava]

Because it slaps. I leveled my chronomancer with https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1326972100409426081 and it was buttery smooth

[safe lance]

So there is standard and SSF and then softcore and hardcore, you can have combinations of these

[robust hill]

hardcore is pretty fun , it adds more intensity to boss fights

[azure lava]

Yeah, so during a league there are actually 8 playable leagues. They include all the combinations of:
Trade/ssf
Softcore/hardcore
League/standard

[feral frost]

ohh yeaa

[frozen jay]

Can you move items in your stash between leagues? I don't really understand the league system I guess. (trying to prepare for the future)

[feral frost]

rn i just have normal standered bc never played poe before so

[robust hill]

no , then it wouldnt be a league

[azure lava]

I just started playing hardcore ssf this week. Gotta say I'm having a blast.

[robust hill]

yessir

[safe lance]

I am a HC d4 player and dont plan on trying hc in this game at all. Almost everyone I see HC seems to be infernalist and using minions as a safe zone. Kudos if you arent

[feral frost]

so the wand with extra dmg is so helpful lol just beat boss first try

[azure lava]

Kinda. You can migrate from the ssf to trade version of the same league. And if you die in hardcore your character and items get moved to Softcore standard of the same type

[safe lance]

So you were just hitting the boss with a stick that gave you mana before this?

[feral frost]

yea..

i do have mana issues but i have the potion so ill be fine

[lament stone]

the only things you can carry over into a new league are any mtx you own(cosmetics and stash tabs, empty of course) and game knowledge

[safe lance]

For example in the last league you kinda had to manage a town and send boats to ports etc, it had a couple bosses and good rewards.

[proven lily]

By chance does anyone know a good tutorial on how to get my PoE stuff to PoE2 please?🙏🏼

[safe lance]

what poe stuff?

only MTX (not all) transfers

[azure lava]

If you have mana issues with no +gem levels then your tree must be poorly laid out, is my guess. Sorc gets so much access to mana early on

[proven lily]

MTX?

[azure lava]

Or you're using a unique that's making your life harder

Micro transaction

[feral frost]

i have 300 mana i just spam its not like a bad issue if i just use spark and orb so

[safe lance]

microtransactions

[feral frost]

no uniques suprisingly

[lament stone]

cosmetics and stash tabs, most are still in the process of being transferred over, some will never transfer over to poe2 because the thing they affect does not exist in poe2

[azure lava]

That's good. Most uniques are trash

[feral frost]

real

[proven lily]

Ya how do I get my Cosmetics here? Think any of the PoE Pets will be implemented later?

[lament stone]

most are still in the process of being transferred over

[safe lance]

yea they said most are coming soon. They added a few in patch 0.1.1

[proven lily]

Kewl

[lament stone]

right now im pretty sure only the stuff from the early access packs and stuff from settlers league is available

[safe lance]

I dont really buy cosmetics but had like the penance back attachment etc, and that just transferred this patch.

[robust hill]

i am still waiting for my armour ..

[proven lily]

I guess I won’t know about Hideout stuff until later ehh?

[robust hill]

my char is ugly

[wooden hill]

I am playing ssf and trying to chance a pillar of caged god - regular white quarter staff says it cannot be increased in rarity is this the wrong base for that unique?

[safe lance]

btw reg the league vs standard question earlier, I don't get why HC char transfers to SC on death, whats the rationale? Like in D4 you lose everything and game isnt pausable so you gotta religiously stash everything often.
