[copper brook]

is it actually bad if I drink from the well in act 3?

[granite kraken]

it was a bit complicated to know what was happening on the screen at that time

but like if i play i guess ill understand

[tiny scroll]

stun vs elemental ailment threshold which venom draught is more helpful in endgame?

[granite kraken]

also last thing we can play this with other players right?

like friends

[glad grove]

Up to 6 in a party, yeah.

[glad grove]

Nope. Just refills your flasks and charm charges like the others.

[granite kraken]

i see i see thank you bro and you too @vagrant anchor

[glad grove]

I'd probably go stun threshold.

[copper brook]

Thank you so much 🙏

[granite kraken]

@glad grovealso bro can u tell me

the total size

of the game

after installation

[glad grove]

Nope. You can use 3 ones of the same base in the reforging bench to get an unidentified new one, once you unlock the bench in act3.

[copper brook]

the game will become free when it's fully released. There are only 3 acts to the game but on full release there will be 6. Also we have limited access to classes, some of them not being in the game yet.

[glad grove]

Just check the steam system requirements.

[granite kraken]

ohhhhh okayy thanks for telling me that hahaha

[vagrant anchor]

100gb

[loud pewter]

I'm confused, i'm level 95, and i think i've put all my points into PoB and i cant find any i'm missing, yet it says 116/123, if i'm level 95, shouldnt it be 118/123?

[sacred agate]

Press P

What does it say in Weapon Skill points?

the number in top right corner

(ingame)

[vagrant anchor]

does POB import your character? or you have to manually assign every value?

[sacred agate]

Manually atm.

But its super fast with copy/pate

[glad grove]

I doubt that you are level 95 and still in acts.

So maybe ask future questions in #2┃after-acts-help

[loud pewter]

it says after acts

so im not sure why i need to be in acts

[loud pewter]

17/24

[loud pewter]

oh

[vagrant anchor]

lol

[loud pewter]

im reading comprehension dead, apologies

thats where i thought i was posting

[glad grove]

Oh wait, if its /24 you just spent 7 of them.

[loud pewter]

yes

which means i have em all

[sacred agate]

My point was if it says (24)

You have all passives from the Acts.

It should say 118/123

[glad grove]

You should have 118, yeah. Prob missed a random 2 point notable or jewel socket you took.

[sacred agate]

Cause I am also 95 on the character I am currently working on

[loud pewter]

as long as this is the case lol

im trying to find it

[ancient walrus]

does "Damage penetrates % cold resistance" work for spell damage?

[meager galleon]

yes

if thats the full text, then yes

[ancient walrus]

ty

[idle tide]

not sure what button i pressed but now when i get drops i cant see them until i mouse over them or hold alt?

[meager galleon]

Z

[idle tide]

is it glitch or did i fat finger something?

ill try it ty

[idle tide]

ty that was it fat fingered z, can i just unbind that lol or does it ahve a use. thought my game was buggin

[meager galleon]

you could, but there are cases where its useful to have the toggle on a button

when you are in some intense fight and wanna quickly hide the crap so you can see the enemies/mechanics

[idle tide]

i see

appreciate it tho, was almost about to redownload my filter lol

[worthy wasp]

hey guys is there a way for me to try a completely a new character without having t do story all over again?

[fallen ibex]

how do i go back to present ziggurgat encampet? i tried to go there but just takes me to the past with no portal, had a traade wwhile doing ultimatum ( im done with all acts )

[glad grove]

Nope. The campaign is a part of the leveling progress of a new character.

[plush mantle]

only way I found was going to jungle ruins and walking back to the entrance to the encampment

[fallen ibex]

ì swear disgusting, f this shit im never leaving for a trade

[plush mantle]

you can always portal to them for a trade, just hit the little swirly button on the character portait. They're probably in an area with a stash

[fallen ibex]

il try that next time

[idle tide]

no BUT u share stashes so all those support gems, extra skill gems, gear etc u can use for ur new toon which makes it a lot easier and faster

[glad grove]

Also if people are messaging you for one of your items the usual practice is to have them come to you.

[fallen ibex]

ik but this dude couldnt for some reason

[glad grove]

So just wait in a location convenient for you where they can portal to you, so epiloque area, town of your current act or hideout.

[idle tide]

u just click the gate and ur back in present? have u done that

[plush mantle]

right, this is definately against the norms, but if you're post campaign and don't have a hideout unlocked yet, then going to them may be the only option

[fallen ibex]

the gate doesnt show up when i tp back to the waypoint its just gone

[worthy wasp]

oh so i can just slap on a lv13 skill gem on my freshly made character?

sry if i ask dumb questions im very new

[plush mantle]

not exactly, they have level and attribute requirements. But you can cut a level 13 skill gem as soon as your alt meets those requirements if you have extra (which you generally have extra skill gems)

[idle tide]

nah you have to level it up a bitt and have the stats (intelligence) but once u do u can instantly slap it on

[glad grove]

Just as a heads up 3dady, since you finished the acts #2┃after-acts-help would be a better channel for your future questions, so we can confuse new player confusion to a minimum by covering waystones and other lategame content in the other channel.

[idle tide]

that is weird, for me i had a bug and i went to my hideout then it let me waypoint back to present from act3 screen

but i got hideout from supporter pack so no idea when u normally get it

[pastel tiger]

Hey dumb question what are Arcanist Etchers doing? I dont see DPS changes on my skills

[sacred compass]

you can hold "alt" on a skill to see the quality effects of it

[plush mantle]

it's not always dps

Bone Blast is area of effect, for example

[sacred compass]

sometimes you have to switch to the secondary effect if the quality doesnt have an effect on the main ability

[worthy wasp]

ohhhhh okay

[idle tide]

but u can basically instantly slap in support gems dont have to wait for rare drops of them (if u kept them in ur stash)

[lament plinth]

Hello I read in the notes Monsters now have increased Toughness per Essence modifier affecting them.

What does Toughness do?

[sacred compass]

increases their dmg reduction

100% toughness reduces the dmg they take by 1/2

[lament plinth]

Ohh alright. tHank you!

[fresh mulch]

how to get quality upgrades for spells? the item

and someone know what would quality give to barage

[shut abyss]

hold alt on it and it'll show it at the bottom

repeats deal 0-15% more damage

[sacred compass]

you can get quality on your skill gems by using "gemcutter's prism"

[fresh mulch]

yes but how to get it

[sacred compass]

drop it

they start dropping around cruel+ rarely

[fresh mulch]

ok

[sacred compass]

and more so in maps onwards

dont worry about it for now

its more a later game thing 🙂

[sacred compass]

there are some side objectives that also drop a guaranteed one, if you wanna look those up

[fresh mulch]

what do i look for???

what side objectives bosses or something?

[sacred compass]

nah more the other objectives in the campaign zones, you can look up the campaign walkthrough on maxroll, it has a very detailed listed

spoiler warning for that one though obviously

or you can look for them on your own, when you open the map you can see symbols next to most zones

[fresh mulch]

i already did campaign so whatever

[sacred compass]

those indicate an objective inside the zone

then you might as well look it up and get a checklist with stuff you wanna complete if you dont wanna discover it all for yourself

[fresh mulch]

thanks

[visual onyx]

Do I want to spread out my attributes in the passive tree for support gems? Playing MOM Witch and have 2 on dex, 5 on str and 14 on int

[sacred compass]

well with mom your main attribute should be int, since it gives you mana, so i would only get the other attributes if you need them for requirements

gear or gems

[visual onyx]

Mana drain with arcane tempo and unleash goes super hard

Hopefully I wont get oneshot atleast in hardcore SSF

[sacred compass]

you will 🙂

but thats part of poe

[visual onyx]

:(

[sacred compass]

i would not recommend going HC as a new player, but if you die you can continue that character in softcore SSF

[fresh mulch]

is it possible to get some items with rarity in early game?

should i just look at this in shops?

[sacred compass]

so you can still decide to "ignore" the death and go further and learn more

[glad grove]

They are a HC veteran by now.

[glad grove]

It is, but that is like the 20th most important stat you actually want on your gear for acts.

If its on an already good item, thats just a nice upside.

[fresh mulch]

is it? its kinda OP isnt it?

[sacred compass]

only if you are strong enough

[fresh mulch]

better rarity>you get better loot>even more rarity>even better loot and then you enter endgame already buffed as hell

[visual onyx]

ive died two "real" times, first as monk in freythorn (wtf is that damage my guy), second time to a bug maybe? got stuck as witch in the cemetary and couldnt roll out inside of a lot of guys and I also dealt close to 0 damage to white mobs, rest are just carelessness from the devourer and brambled thorn

[sacred compass]

if you lack survivability and dmg, magic find isnt going to help you much

[sacred compass]

i dont want to discourage you 🙂 if you are ok with dying and restarting and you are having fun then stay in HC, i just wanted to say my recommendation since we are in "new player help"

in the end you do you boo 🙂

[glad grove]

Wont work like that.

[visual onyx]

:=)

[glad grove]

Rarity is a marginal increase, that is mainly good if you kill a tons of monsters. Which you wont do in acts, as the monster density isnt great.
Combine that with lower monster levels etc. and you will have marginably better loot at the cost of actually important stats.

[sacred compass]

also if you die bc of low survivability you get no gear and take longer

[sturdy sedge]

the whole point of this support gem is to help electrocute enemies sooner and nothing else right? You still need electrocution chance (electrocute support) etc

[glad grove]

That witch death might've been from fighting those shield guys in the cemetary head on. They only take small amounts of damage from projectiles hitting them from the front and fire back a projectile.

[glad grove]

Correct.

[sturdy sedge]

damn, unfortunate; kinda pointless for me as it stands even if electrocuting bosses 20% sooner is pretty good

[sacred compass]

well use the support that switches shock build up to electrocution build up on one of your lightning skills

[sturdy sedge]

currently have storm wave + electrocute support so I can electrocute for power charges (from combat frenzy)

so I already electrocute and wasting a support gem slot on just doing the same but slightly faster is eh

[sacred compass]

depends on what skill you have it on

you can have a skill only for electrocuting, not for dmg

[sturdy sedge]

it's on my primary damage skill, so it's not lacking dmg for the electrocute

[sacred compass]

on that setup its fine

well on your primary dmg skills it might not be as good

[sturdy sedge]

using charged staff I have dmg supports on that too

and since supporting charged staff with dmg supports is essentially supporting storm wave (since they'll both be hitting)

[sacred compass]

what do you have on the bell or orb of lightning

[sturdy sedge]

inc aoe, +1 limit and potential (cant gen charges, consumes 1 to crit harder)

[ember mural]

hey chat
is anyone in act 3 non cruel utzaal or aggorat?

i need to get there

[sturdy sedge]

+1 limit always seems kinda ass on it, so I might get rid of it there

[modest tree]

it's closed off

is this bugged?

[sacred compass]

ye that doesnt look right

maybe respawn on checkpoint to load a new instance

and see if that fixes it

[arctic maple]

Hello,
Should I Divine the Ingenuity belt before Vaaling it (with omen). Or Divine is pointless?

[sacred compass]

well whats your roll?

if you are on almost max roll you risk a lot

[meager galleon]

the roll is 40-80 on that belt

[sacred compass]

if you are on bottom roll you almost always get an upgrade

[arctic maple]

45

[sacred compass]

ye thats worth divining imo

[meager galleon]

well thats a pretty good chance for an improvement

[sacred compass]

you have 5 rolls that are worse

and 35 that are better

[arctic maple]

i got 42 😄

[sacred compass]

rip

[meager galleon]

wellcome to rng

[sacred compass]

thats how gambling goes

[meager galleon]

you didnt praise rngesus enough

[sacred compass]

honestly i would wait for another divine

before vaaling

[arctic maple]

2nd div.... 40 😄
I guess it cannot go lower 😄

[sacred compass]

unless you wnat to do it NOW

[arctic maple]

no no. I have one 76, and this is my 2nd one

[unique elbow]

Not sure if this is the right channel to ask in but I can't find a better one.

I'm trying to trade with a friend on ps5 we are both level 42 we have 2 factor authentication on our accounts and we can't trade uniques with each other.

I managed to drop one once and he could pick it up but we haven't been able to replicate it since

[sacred compass]

you need some lvl requirement (a character at or above that lvl on your account) to trade uniques

keep it for now and continue

i dont know exactly what lvl but you should be close

maybe try again at 50

or someone in here knows the exact lvl

[meager galleon]

used to be like 20 in poe1, no clue what it is in poe2

[sacred compass]

also both of you need to be that lvl

not just one of you

[unique elbow]

We are both level 42

We have been trying since level 25 as that's when it said we could trade

Uniques

I was able to drop a level 16 unique bow and he could pick it up but no other unique has let us do that

[shut abyss]

sounds like a bug but if dropping works just do that i guess

[unique elbow]

It doesn't it was only that one item and we can't seem to make anything else work

[sacred compass]

yeah honestly then idk

[unique elbow]

I don't know why there isn't a toggle in settings where if you are playing with friends you can just drop them and they can pick them up.

Just slap an are you sure confirmation on there and boom easy solved :/

[sacred compass]

maybe contact customer support/try a bug report

[meager galleon]

it is weird, its first time i'm hearing of this kind of trading problem

[sacred compass]

same

[shut abyss]

someone on google was saying that you need to verify your account have you done that?

[unique elbow]

Yes I have linked my PlayStation to a Poe account

But when I go to the site it says I don't have it

[shut abyss]

and i've seen this "solution" twice
so maybe contact ggg

[sacred compass]

ye probably best to open a support ticket on the website

[craggy gyro]

what

getting banned

skill issue

[ancient walrus]

when you freeze a boss and it becomes harder to freeze a second time, can you make it easier to freeze it again by getting items with %increased freeze buildup?

[shut abyss]

well i guess you could but it's probly not worth it

[craggy gyro]

much better to increase freeze duration

[ancient walrus]

ty

[unique elbow]

.... where do I launch a support ticket 😅

[shut abyss]

https://www.pathofexile.com/support

[unique elbow]

Yeah I can only see Poe 1

At least that's what it says but I can see people posting about Poe 2

[meager galleon]

same company, same support

if you are talking about emailing them

for forums there is a pathofexile 2 early access section with multiple subforums

[twin yoke]

if items were Corrupted ... could i still put soul core in there?

[meager galleon]

if it has an empty socket, i think so

not sure if you can replace something thats there, didnt try that out since the replace change was made

[twin yoke]

think so ??

oh

[unique elbow]

Well I made a forum post all I can do is pray now lol

[sacred compass]

you can also continue playing the game

[shut abyss]

or figure out if you can do something about this

[visual onyx]

For skeletal snipers what are the best lv 1 support gems combo?

[azure lava]

I hear scattershot and martial tempo are recommended often

[twin yoke]

if items were Corrupted ... could i still put soul core in there? ... i need 100% answer

[azure lava]

If it has an empty socket, yes

[twin yoke]

ty buddy

[azure lava]

If it already has stuff socketed, maybe

[surreal hemlock]

cannot confirm for soul cores but you definitely can change runes in corrupted items

did it on my staff

[sacred compass]

there shouldnt be a difference between how runes and soul cores function, if you can change a rune you should be able to change a soul core

[azure lava]

"Socketables such as Runes can now be overwritten by placing another socketable item into the socket."

-0.1.1 patch notes

[delicate geode]

when do unique start dropping a little? im halfway act 2 havent gotten one yet feel like poe1 was a lot faster with that

[azure lava]

Uniques can drop as early as the first zone. It's rng

The item rarity stat helps, as does killing more rare/unique enemies

[delicate geode]

ah makes sense

[delicate geode]

yeah ive been running it on my helmet and gloves

[abstract quest]

Im a level 53 monk in the start of cruel act 2 and my resistances are all in the negative and I can’t find any gear with resistances that isn’t a massive downgrade over my current gear

Would appreciate some insight into what to do

[shut abyss]

it's not a downgrade if it doesn't have resistance on it

[meager galleon]

if by downgrade you mean that you lose dmg stats on armor pieces and gain resistances

thats not a downgrade

dmg doesnt matter if you arent alive to hit enemies ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[abstract quest]

Not just damage, I’m losing evasion, energy shield and a bunch of stats which is breaking my build

[meager galleon]

okay thats a little more of an issue

mainly the stats part

[abstract quest]

Ya and I don’t have skill gems to respec into a lower build lol

So I’m truly trapped haha

[meager galleon]

but losing a bit of evasion/es while not ideal is worth it for resistances

[shut abyss]

nahhh, i bet you got one or two exalts

[abstract quest]

Ya I have like 3 what should I do with them

[meager galleon]

do you have an item that gives you like no attributes and no resistances, or close to it ?

except weapon

[shut abyss]

start with something like that i guess

[abstract quest]

Yeah my boots

[meager galleon]

well then thats a prime candidate for upgrade

[azure lava]

I'd give this a read https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

[abstract quest]

I have a bunch of the normal to rare and add rare modifier orbs, should I use them in hopes of getting good resistance gear?

[meager galleon]

you mean magic to rare

?

[azure lava]

Exalts would probably be more reliable for getting upgrades if you used them to buy gear

[abstract quest]

Sorry I mean normal to magic

[meager galleon]

yeah, sadly most effective way to use resources for upgrades is trade

[azure lava]

But everything else, go for it. Also if you have a decent piece of gear (at least two mods that include life and any elemental resists), socket them and put runes in there for more resists

[abstract quest]

Okay fair enough I guess I’ll burn the 3 exalts I have to buy decent loot for my armor slots that will have enough resistances and stats to keep my build going

Thanks a lot @azure lava and @meager galleon for all your help!

[shut abyss]

you'll get those 3 back in no time!

[abstract quest]

Yeah you right, money is there to be spent. Thanks a lot to you too!

[shut abyss]

yes and also 3 exalts is not much that being said i wouldn't spend over 1ex on anything below level 70 gear

[abstract quest]

Will keep that in mind thanks!

[fathom abyss]

What's your in game name

[jolly notch]

can some body help me with the titan pls ? IGN TarikTrogadon

[shut abyss]

grotto?

[jolly notch]

the big one with the huge dagger in hand

[shut abyss]

ahh is it bugging?

[delicate geode]

when trying new weapons ive been checking the skill tab dps for my main dmging skill to see if its better but does that always reflect the true dps including crits and stuff?

[fathom abyss]

GG

[delicate geode]

i get it wont represent mana/life regenration and other unrelated stuff

[fathom abyss]

What's your in game name buddy

[shut abyss]

dunno about crit and stuff but most of the time it's not very good at telling your real dps

[craggy gyro]

crit is king

crit is the best dmg scaling in the entire universe

hands down

assuming u have enough sources of it

especially with invoker monks

sunder my enemies ascendancy node

[cursive bluff]

You still need to scale generic damage first though

[craggy gyro]

true

but end game

crit is the best dmg scaling

[cursive bluff]

#2┃new-player-in-campaign-help lol

[craggy gyro]

ah

right

hahaha

in campaign

don't event think of crit

put pure damage nodes

and get gud

[cursive bluff]

Don't confuse the poor wee babies lol

[ancient walrus]

what rune increases freeze buildup? I can't find the name anywhere

[craggy gyro]

cold damage increases freeze buildup

i think

as far as i know

more cold dmg means more freeze

i think*

assuming u want that

probably flat cold runes

and judging by your name u probably using a wand

and probably cant use runes

[steep sparrow]

If i using of Archmage, will it cost mana?

[craggy gyro]

feelsbadman

[shut abyss]

what class are you

[ancient walrus]

sorceress

[fathom abyss]

What's you DPS on your character

[craggy gyro]

i will show

[sacred compass]

you can increase freeze buildup by increasing cold dmg, increasing your chance to freeze or using support gems that specifically increase the freeze buildup

[craggy gyro]

3rd run hcssf

feelsbad

[sacred compass]

there are also stats for increased ailment chance on jewels for example

[craggy gyro]

i played in standard 8 times

8 different builds

the highest tooltip i had was 300k maybe

[shut abyss]

and some nice nodes on passive tree

[craggy gyro]

for tempest flurry

gemling stat stacking with bricked howa

1-8 flat lightning haha

it was 7 divines at that time

[fathom abyss]

My current DPS

[craggy gyro]

that is nice

i played spark before

i don't really like it

[ancient walrus]

does it scale the same? does 30% cold damage = 30% freeze buildup?

[craggy gyro]

that is what i am not sure of

[sacred compass]

not necessarily, enemies can have different resistances, its also dependant on the max HP of the target

and its ailment threshhold as well

[ancient walrus]

benstolen you have just exploded my brain

[craggy gyro]

hahahahaha

[sacred compass]

ye its usually not that easy/linear in poe

for now just go with what you can control

[craggy gyro]

what specifically are u trying to do tho

maybe we can help if you can explain some of it

[sacred compass]

so stats that obviously scale your freeze, take those

and you will see an improvement 🙂

no need really to worry about anything else

[ancient walrus]

my plan was to make a perma stun chrono mancer, long freeze into the time stun into another freeze

[craggy gyro]

u probably want cold damage

flat

[normal ibex]

its is fair to assume however that a percentage build up is relatively increased by a relative damage boost in general to an individual enemy

[craggy gyro]

and skil effect duration

[sacred compass]

there are also mechanics to make that a lot harder, like increased resistances for applying the same ailment multiple times in a row

[ancient walrus]

if i see lets say a ring with 30% cold damage but another ring with 30% freeze buildup? I should take the cold damage?

[sacred compass]

also definitely take a look ath the temporal chains curse for that

[shut abyss]

i'd take cold damage because damage is damage

[sacred compass]

and maybe look at curse effect scaling for that too

thats another vector for increasing your ailment duration on enemis

or debuff duration in general

also a slow in itself, helping your goal of CC'ing enemies

[ancient walrus]

ooo cool i didnt know temportal chains was a thing, thanks for the suggestion

[craggy gyro]

judging by the build you want to play i'd say opt for flat cold/skill effect duration

[ancient walrus]

that looks dope

[craggy gyro]

anything that scales cold damage will scale freeze build up

[ancient walrus]

will do, thanks for all the help guys

[sacred compass]

ye for that plan you cant just scale your freeze/cold you need other effects too, like the chronomancer time freeze you have already identified and temporal chains you can look at too

[craggy gyro]

but i can't say for sure about your question of which is more effective versus freeze buildup and cold damage %

but choosing between the two

[sacred compass]

maybe if you can fit it like a support skill for electrocution

[craggy gyro]

i would say opt for damage

[sacred compass]

since thats another form of stun

or just stun build with a physical skill

[craggy gyro]

skill effect duration scales the time of them being frozen i think

[sacred compass]

no

only if a skill specifically states it

freeze is an ailment

not a skill effect

[craggy gyro]

what scales freeze?

[sacred compass]

freeze duration

for example

[craggy gyro]

does that exist?

[sacred compass]

a stat you can find on the passive tree

ye

[craggy gyro]

in jewel or nodes

ahh

[sacred compass]

ailment duration too

[craggy gyro]

but skill effect duration sure scales his time freeze

so it's still good nonetheless

[sacred compass]

but not skill effect duration unless the skill you are using specifically says that its freeze scales with skill effect duration

and idk if we have a skill that does say that

there is one for poison but idk about freeze

[fossil oriole]

how do i make it so my trade search shows more than 100 items

[sacred compass]

search for something that has more than 100 items on offer?

if you have more than 100 results just continue scrolling down

it will show the next results when you reach the end of the list and still have more listings to see

[fossil oriole]

it has 5k matches but it stops after 100 items somehow

[sacred compass]

it should load the next listings once you reach the end of your current page, maybe you need to click something like "show more results" or something

[normal ibex]

you need to narrow the search somehow, the options are insane in the filters

the matches value us just there to show you how many there are in total, so if you search for quarterstaff theres over 10k, but if you search for quarterstaff with $% increased phys theres less than 100

[wild valley]

Which is better for a wand 110% total increase spell damage and +2 spell levels or 140% increase damage?

[sacred compass]

probably the +2, you have a good amount of "%inc spell dmg" from your tree so the extra 30 difference form 110 to 140 dont add that much

the +lvl stat is pretty strong in poe2

for most skills

[normal ibex]

is that really answerable question as skills have variable levels in increase per level

[sacred compass]

its usually a question of "what stat do you have less of", "increased damage" is a very common stat you can get very easily

+lvl of skills is a lot harder to get

so its usually more valuable

[normal ibex]

i suspect player and skill level have a massive impact since up to the levels ive seen, i have not seen any single skill that levels up 15% damage per level up

[fathom abyss]

@abstract quest You back yet

[abstract quest]

?

[fathom abyss]

What's your ingame name

I have something for you

[abstract quest]

ohh sorry didnt see ur earlier message

[abstract quest]

dmed u

[wild valley]

Is there a point where it is to much as I have +4 spell levels to my lightning spells from my wand and amulet and it seems to drain my mana whenever I cast arc or spark

[sacred compass]

higher lvl spells cost more mana

[summer shard]

are some skills not affected my skill levels? i.e. raging spirit/ghost dance. It seems that increasing their level does not provide any buffs to the skills, but make it require more attributes (Str/dex/int). Then shouldn't I just use the lowest skill in this situations?

[sacred compass]

check the secondary effect, raging spirits gain stats per lvl so its good

for ghost dance it should also increase something, maybe uptime or ES restored or something

[azure lava]

Ghost dance gains shrouds faster as it levels

[normal ibex]

this is an ever evolving problem that needs managing as close as i can tell

[azure lava]

I think

[sacred compass]

ye something like that

[summer shard]

spent two different level gems and found this to be true

thanks!

[normal ibex]

to save you future costs, you dont need to create a skill gem, just looking at the skills shows your the upgrade values

[shut abyss]

you can also check stuff like this on poe2db

[normal ibex]

POE2 turning into POE1, all you need is the game, the mind of a statistician and a bunch of websites to play

[sacred compass]

while its true that you can play it that way, imo its a lot easier to play/learn for a new player than poe1

[normal ibex]

maybe a spreadsheet or two 😛

[sacred compass]

it also has so much more information in the ingame tooltips compared to poe1

[wooden crane]

Im confused how can u tell what tiers are with the 25-50 numbers heard one say a 85 life is tier 7 when it had 85-99 but wouldn’t tiers get higher with more numbers not lower?

[sacred compass]

you can hold alt on the item to see what tiers their suffixes have

the higher tier, the better it is

[normal ibex]

ranges overlap, yu can probably get 85 in 3 different tiers, low/mid/high rolls per range

[sacred compass]

the "tier" determines what the "number range" for a stat is

so a t7 life mod (these numbers are not accurate) rolls between for example 60-70 life, so if you want more than 70 life, you would need a higher tier

[gloomy estuary]

Why does my spirit go back up when I enter demon form

[lament stone]

not on the same item

[sacred compass]

you cant get 71 life on a t7 life mod

[gloomy estuary]

I can’t activate blasphemy

[lament stone]

different items may have different ranges for the same tier

[sacred compass]

you are unequipping your weapon

[lament stone]

but tier 7 on body armour will never have overlapping stats with tier 8 on body armour

[gloomy estuary]

I don’t have spirit on my weapons though

[lament stone]

entering demon form disables any minions you have

[sacred compass]

then idk 😄

[gloomy estuary]

I don’t have minions though. When I go to demon form blasphemy disables

I have the 60 spirit I need

[sacred compass]

do you have it active on a specific weapon set maybe

and so it deactivates in demon form

[gloomy estuary]

Nevermind

[sacred compass]

can you reactivate it while in demon form?

[gloomy estuary]

I got it

[sacred compass]

kk

[lament stone]

oh is this that console thing where you need to enable it for demon form

[normal ibex]

i was just explaining the ranges, but are you saying its impossible to get coies of the same item with different tiers for a specific stat?

or same level req item

[lament stone]

yea, the roll ranges never overlap on an item

t7 life on body armour will never overlap with t8 life on body armour

but t7 life on body armour may have very different stats to t7 life on gloves

[normal ibex]

oh, then til i guess, this is how it was explained to me how i get shitter gear at higher levels than my low level items sometimes

[lament stone]

because you can still roll low tiers on a high item level armour piece

[sacred compass]

well even highlvl items can still roll the lower tiers of mods

its just the low ilvl items are locked out of rolling the higher tiers

but sadly not the other way around

[azure lava]

It's possible to have the same life value on an item with two different tiers of life mods, but only if one of them is paired with, say, a hybrid life mod that's adding to that total

[normal ibex]

so ranges are fine, tiers are broken, good to know i guess, i thought it was bad enough we had to bribe one RNG jesus, not two #sadface

[sacred compass]

ilvl is more a measure of the "potential" of an item, meaning higher ilvl has the potential to roll better

but its not a guarantee

[normal ibex]

so roll better tiers, not roll better numbers, otherwise the ranges would be irrelevent correct?

[sacred compass]

so, there are ilvl breakpoints for example (not accurate numbers) you need ilvl 73 to roll the highest tier of elemental resistance, an item below that ilvl will never roll the highest tier, but again, not a guarantee
to the "range" of numbers within a tier, those can be rerolled with using a "divine orb" but since those are super rare and valuable, its usually not worth it unless you are rolling for ranges on an item that has multiple mods of the highest tier or close to it

so take the "range" as just "this is the number it rolled" and look for an item with that stat at a higher tier for an upgrade

in the end the item with the stats you are looking for at higher tiers will have "higher numbers" so its really not that important if its bc the tier is higher or it rolled higher within the same tier since you a:cant change the tier and b: probably wont change the roll within the tier (bc divine orbs are too valuable for that)

idk if im making sense at all 😄

or if thats what you wanted to know

[wooden crane]

Im on ps5

[sacred compass]

there should be a button for that on your controller, maybe click in the stick? its somewhere listed in the button guide you get on controller

[real gust]

Why do i see some people keep the blue mushroom in their inventory?

[sacred compass]

its called something like "detailed item information" or something

[normal ibex]

the whole divine this is above my paygrade, and i'm all out of children to sell for exalted so i'm not even using those often.

[sacred compass]

its a meme

[sacred compass]

ye dont ever worry about using divines on rare items

[normal ibex]

left stick in to see the tiers and ranges

[real gust]

that's it? 😛

[sacred compass]

ye, it doesnt have any affect being in your iventory

literally 0

[wooden crane]

Oh dam thats hard to see

[sacred compass]

outside of wasting space

[real gust]

😂

[normal ibex]

yeah, hoping they upgrade the visibility on those little tabs lol

[sacred compass]

divines are mostly used on high value uniques with bigger ranges that rolled on the low end to "gamble" and get lucky with a high roll making the unique a lot better

[wooden crane]

Is tier 1 better or tier 7

[sacred compass]

higher number = better

on tiers

on items

[normal ibex]

tiers are low to high yeah

[boreal hedge]

Probably a stupid question, but will more content be added over the EA period or are they waiting for full release?

[sacred compass]

yes

[normal ibex]

lol

[sacred compass]

they are going for a similar schedule like leagues with big content patches coming regularly with economy/progress resets

[normal ibex]

so potentially 3 leagues before release? i'd be fine with that tbh given there are likely to be a whole bunch of balance tweaks needed, especially in classes and areas we cant even see yet

[sacred compass]

well kinda depends on if they can get the content developed fast enough

thats why we dont know specific time schedules

bc its kinda dependant on if they can get it done or not

they might aim for one every 4 months

we dont know 🙂

[normal ibex]

true, but we do know they have experience developing leagues in that time, so not impossible, i mean, one act and 2 new classes per league start every 3 months is very much their kinda MO

[sacred compass]

ye balance changes are going to happen, but also probably alongside the big patches that come with a reset

[normal ibex]

in terms of how much they can do i mean

[sacred compass]

no im with you, im just saying we dont know, and they havent said anything more specific bc they dont know either yet

[normal ibex]

oh i get you, just wishfull thinking on my part i guess, pretty sure i'll have at least 3 characters staring end game by then, and thats when i start getting bored with games

[sacred compass]

if you want to prolong your experience (and liek that type of gameplay) try out ssf

[normal ibex]

i mean, i'm standard league and i dont party or trade, so kinda self enforced ssf on some sense, tho i might try out selling later on

[rigid elk]

I working on making a CI archmage and just to double check, for the venom draughts, I should choose mana regen and and +5?

[sacred compass]

sounds about right

mana regen for sustain

the chaos res is useless for you so its either +5 or the other choice

which idk what it is bc i always decide between +5 or cfhaos res

but +5 is also int which gives you mana, so survivability and dmg with armage

[rigid elk]

i havent watched any build vids yet.. but i did read that the +5 is helpful cause attributes can be brutial with the CI build

[sacred compass]

ye sounds fine

[rigid elk]

cool thanks

[west meteor]

hello, I just noticed some of my support gems randomly dissappeared, is that normal??

[elder ember]

can happen if they were on a skill that comes with an ascendancy or weapon

[west meteor]

so I need to remove them before swapping weapons?

[elder ember]

I'm not sure about weapons but respeccing ascendancy definitely

[normal ibex]

in weapon skills they usially drop into inventory

[elder ember]

once you get far enough into maps youll be drowning in L3 uncut support gems so its no big deal

[west meteor]

I swapped weapons to one with a higher level skill, did not get them back

[shut abyss]

if they are on a weapon skill and you get rid of that weapon the gems go with it

[dire python]

Does anyone know why I die all the time and it says I committed suicide?

[normal ibex]

do you have skills/passives that drain life?

[sacred compass]

are you using a mana flask that saps your health?

or rather has the mod "takes %life to recover mana" in a similar wording

something like that

another possibility is using a skill that costs life while not having enough to pay that cost

[dire python]

Yeahhhh...!

And I only have 1 life

[sacred compass]

there you go

thats your answer

[dire python]

Thanks

lol

[shut abyss]

so you DID commit suicide

[sacred compass]

dont use that flask with CI

not adviseable 🙂

[normal ibex]

todays lesson kids: dont run with scissors 😄

[sacred compass]

at least not until you specced into scissor immunity

[normal ibex]

havent scanned the whole passive tree, wouldnt be surprised if there were scissors, literally only found the dagger cluster last week 😛

[sacred compass]

there are aslo claw nodes too

and they are even in the form of a claw

[haughty niche]

Id note that they apparently said they arent adding claws to poe2

[primal nymph]

Anyone know if damage from armor items scale with crit hit chance, crit damage and passive tree nodes such as physical damage increase. Specifically I'm looking at the Deidbell Unqiue which gives: Corpses in your Presence Explode when you Warcry, dealing 10% of their Life as Physical Damage.

[haughty niche]

The claw shaped one at top left is likely druid related

[sacred compass]

it is

but i was sure it was about claws too

but i might be misremembering

apparently im just lying though 😦

[sacred compass]

that does scale with physical dmg yes

but it doesnt have a base crit chance

so it doesnt scale with crit

it would be if you could give it crit chance though

at least im pretty sure it doesnt have base crit

[final geyser]

I don't believe that's true, unless that was a recent statement. There were mentions of how Claws would be wielded only a few months ago.

[haughty niche]

Last time i trust a nobody in here lmao

[final geyser]

xd

[sacred compass]

i mean they are either gonna add them or not

[haughty niche]

Whoever they were, they were adamant that they said claws were not coming to poe2

[sacred compass]

we will see in the future when druid gets released

i mean claws sound like good druid weapons

also dont we have a list of all weapons ingame

from the uncut skill gems

are claws in there or no?

[primal nymph]

That makes sense appreciate the reply. Looks like I'll stacking damage then. Is there anyway to check damage numbers?

[haughty niche]

They arent

Despite flails/daggers being on it

[final geyser]

I don't believe Claws are intended to be associated with Druid, and the Gemcutting list doesn't show Traps either

[sacred compass]

not for that type of dmg no

[sacred compass]

well "traps" are not a weapon type, i would assume traps will be under daggers

[final geyser]

That's because the Gemcutting list was originally sorted by class, but they then renamed the tabs to be about the main weapon associated with the class instead.

[haughty niche]

Thry actually are now

[final geyser]

Incorrect, Traps are a distinct weapon type in PoE2.

[lament stone]

claws may have been cut out at some point, but theres nothing official on it

[sacred compass]

well nevermind me again

im still spreading lies apparently

[haughty niche]

In poe2 people have found bugged trap uniques

[final geyser]

They're in the files, actually (from poe2db)

[lament stone]

people tried using daggers, but you cant use the dagger attack with only 1 dagger, so daggers may have taken the claw dual wield thing

[sacred compass]

i would be sad if they dont make it

i like claws as a weapon type

[lament stone]

and traps not having gems, i think that might be because the trap item itself has the skill tied to it

[final geyser]

That wasn't the plan, at the very least. Traps would determine the detonation type, you'd have separate skills to use with them.

[lament stone]

you can use the incomplete daggers/axes/flails that have dropped

[sacred compass]

they might also just not have added them yet, or rework the whole interface in the future

its for sure not set in stone yet, we will see

[lament stone]

could also be that traps just dont have anything figured out for them yet

[humble rain]

how does the hooded ones refund work? will it allow me to completely change my build at any time? or is it one of those things that gets exponentially more expensive w each use

[craggy gyro]

had it rolled elemental damage % it would have been perfect

[lament stone]

the gold cost of respeccing scales with your level

[final geyser]

It gets more expensive the higher level you are. However, if you have enough Gold, you are able to respec everything but the ascendancy you have chosen.

[humble rain]

sweet, thx

[buoyant ravine]

if I TP outta the vaal challenge, can I come back? my inv is full 😦

[humble rain]

how many ways are there to reduce spirit cost / increase spirit? there doesnt seem to be much of that at all in the passives but i want to try and rely on a skeleton army. please lmk if that is just not viable at all

[agile bridge]

Do relics get consumed when you lose a trial of the sekhema?

[tall lagoon]

Hello my friend trying to carry me, what seems to be the problem here? Do I need to activate or finish the quest first? I'm level 19

[craggy gyro]

yes

you don't have access to trial of chaos at lvl19

[lament stone]

you need to have the quest to unlock the zone first

[craggy gyro]

you probably have not even unlock sekhema

yet

[rocky coyote]

I chose deadeye with my poison build, I made a mistake right

[craggy gyro]

no such things

[lament stone]

you could still make it work, but pathfinder has the best scaling for poison

[sacred compass]

well pathfinder has more specific stuff for poison, but you can lean into whatever deadeye gives you

like extra projectiles

and tailwind

and still make something strong

[rocky coyote]

kinda wanted to focus on poison though

dang it

[haughty niche]

Then yeah you fucked up unfortunately

[sacred compass]

well then you might actually want to consider a new charcter

and going for pathfinder

its kinda the best choice for poison currently

[tall lagoon]

aight aight thanks

[heady quartz]

good day i'm pretty new to the campaign and i'm getting currently my shit pushed in by count gendor
i get to the phase where he is able to summon his goons with the mist surrounding the middle of the arena ( i get molested every time )
are there any tips so i don't feel like a child at a P-Diddy party ?

[sacred compass]

you can go back a couple of zones and farm a lvl or 2

[lament stone]

listen to his poem, he dashes exactly the same time after he finishes each line

[sacred compass]

maybe look for some rare gear with stats on it (mostly HP and resistances)

that should help a lot

[rich prairie]

Hey guys a question when I’m loading in a new world at at me it’s very often so that my game have a freezen screen and I need to restart all the time and idk why this is so can one guy explain pls?

[sacred compass]

also learn his patterns, boss fights in this game can be overcome with skilled gameplay too

[craggy gyro]

he probably can't kill the minions fast enough

[lament stone]

roughly 300+ life and 20%+ cold res should help a lot

[craggy gyro]

he gets gang banged

[heady quartz]

i keep an ear out for that thanks

[sacred compass]

ye thats what i was recommending getting another lvl or 2

and maybe some upgrades

check your vendors for a weapon upgrade too

[craggy gyro]

what build

some characters are just terrible

bow for example in early

without much gears

it's a pain

[haughty niche]

Bow is actually insane early

[bleak igloo]

guys any idea when the upcoming cosmetics sale coming?

[haughty niche]

With lightning rods + orb of storms

Poison bow is ass until gas arrow tho

[crystal parcel]

Has anyone figured out a solution for the pc freeze in poe2? Im getting tired of it, Im on Vulkan and its better but not gone

[buoyant ravine]

If going an LA deadeye, which vencom draught should I choose? I can't decide 😦 (I'm following fubgun's build)

[sacred compass]

stash tab sales are usually on weekends, probably next month some time

[delicate geode]

im lv23 my friend is lv15, can i join him and still fight against my lvls?

[trim turret]

Should be this weekend.

[bleak igloo]

sorry meant cosmetics, current sale page is empty

[crystal parcel]

Mana is good, but all of the buffs can be achieved via gear so take whatever you dont wanna deal with

[craggy gyro]

the monsters will be stronger in party if u join him the level of monsters will be that of the area

[trim turret]

If you don't have some crowd control that can be painful.

[trim turret]

That's random.

[sacred compass]

no, when you join him in his zones, enemies will be the zone lvl but with party downscaling you dont steal his XP and you can play together until he catches up to your progress and continue from there

[craggy gyro]

the area dictates the monster level

[sacred compass]

however you wont be making much progress in terms of items or lvls for yourself in those zones

[crystal parcel]

Has anyone figured out a solution for the pc freeze in poe2? Im getting tired of it, Im on Vulkan and its better but not gone

[haughty niche]

No

[trim turret]

Are you on console? Not much we can do there.

[haughty niche]

Thats super vague

[heady quartz]

uh i play a witch with mosty essence drain and for crowd controll i have contagion chaos bolt to aply the withering touch
it seems to be enough to get him to that phase but i think its my inability to dodge him or his goons that leads me to be the bukkake victim

[rich prairie]

Im on pc

[trim turret]

Do you meet the system requirements? Have you tried different renderers? Played around with graphics settings? Drivers all up to date?

[sacred compass]

ye sounds like you have reliable single target but lack in terms of group dps, try and get used to the ED+Contagion combo to clear groups faster and maybe get another skill you can use for CC or dealing with groups

i dont know what specifically you can get at your point, havent played chaos skills yet

worst case maybe just run some minions to distract enemies for you?

even if its just for this fight

[rich prairie]

Yh

[rich prairie]

Also I think xD

[trim turret]

You think what? Need a little more here.

[heady quartz]

i also have both solar - and orb of storms to do a little dmg on the side ( picked that for close quater combat in hallways )

[magic valve]

guys how much this body armour price???

[haughty niche]

#price-check📉

We dont do that

[rich prairie]

Drivers . What u meant with that directly in new sry 🙂‍↔️

[sacred compass]

maybe try a cold skill for the "chill" ailment that slows enemies, its not necessarily about the dmg, more about crowd control

also give the minion idea a try

some skeletons to just body block might make the difference

you should have 30 spirit by now, unless you havent cleared the side quest to get that

[trim turret]

Are you saying your drivers are up to date or you arent sure? What are your system specs?

[sacred compass]

if you dont have 30 spirit then definitely go get that first

[heady quartz]

i also have the little homies i get from the ratteling scepter the help out too

[haughty niche]

If you dont know what drivers are thats like 80% chance to be the problem

[gloomy estuary]

Is the only way for me to get more life regen per second on gear is by getting higher level

[sacred compass]

do you have 30 spirit to summon more with the "summon skeleton" skill gem?

[sacred compass]

there is life regen on tree too, also vitality aura support gives life regen

[heady quartz]

i can rase zombies from the dead ( given i can kill his goons )

[sacred compass]

those are also not permanent minions

and im getting concerned that you still havent answered if you have spirit or not

if you dont know what i mean by that then say that 🙂

[rich prairie]

Im not sure :3

[haughty niche]

If you are a minion build, 90% of your damage comes from raging spirits early on.

[heady quartz]

yeah speaking of that i dont know what that is excatly XD

[sacred compass]

they arent

[sacred compass]

okay spirit is the resource you reserve for more permanent buffs like auras or minions that revive themselves and dont need corpses

[rich prairie]

Wait I dm u I think it’s better wait a sec

[sacred compass]

go back into the zone after the cemetary

[trim turret]

Not sure about drivers? Are you unsure about your system specs also?

[sacred compass]

and look for the optional zone connecting to it

[trim turret]

I dont answer DMs.

[sacred compass]

to clear the quest in that zone and get your first spirit as a reward

[rich prairie]

Okok

[heady quartz]

when it come to that i have the aura withering presence

[rich prairie]

Drivers

[dire python]

Stupid question.. what exactl is arcane surge for sorceress?

[haughty niche]

Hover over it

Press alt

[sacred compass]

okay so you do have spirit, then mabye try, even if only for the boss fight, to run some skeleton warriors instead of the aura and see if those help

[trim turret]

Well figure out what hardware you have and figure out how to update your video card. And if you know your specs tell us what they are.

[sacred compass]

if its really that minion phase that kills you then i would say CC is your answer for now, minion distractions, cold dmg to slow enemies, stuff like that

[heady quartz]

i have the boys with me all the time

[sacred compass]

ye but those come from your item

[boreal hedge]

Can someone tell me the difference between "increased charges" and "increased charges gained" on a flask

[sacred compass]

you can get more by cutting a skeleton skill gem

and reserving spirit to summon more of those

and then just loading them up with anything that increases their survivability

[heady quartz]

okay
so farming it is then

[haughty niche]

Store more vs gain more on kill

[sacred compass]

increased charges = more uses before it runs out
increased charges gained = faster refills

[trim turret]

First one is probably the max number of charges it can have.

[sacred compass]

pretty much ye 🙂

[boreal hedge]

Thanks ya'll

[heady quartz]

then thank you for your help ❤️

[sacred compass]

try out "frost bomb" for CC

np

[heady quartz]

one last thing befor i throw myself into the endless hoards
how do i raise my spirit lvl ?

[rich prairie]

I have a 16 GB DDR4, rtx 3060 12 gb and ryzen 5 4500 🙂

[sacred compass]

continue campaign, look for an optional quest in act 3

no further spoilers 🙂

[heady quartz]

so im doomed to stay on 30 spirit and the choise between my boys or the presence ?

[trim turret]

I'd definitely start by updating your drivers.n

[sacred compass]

well there are "scpetres" which also give you spirit

which btw you are using so you should have more than 30

[shut abyss]

windows update 24h2 is causing alot of crashing

[sacred compass]

unless you actually havent cleared the optional quest in act1 yet

[rich prairie]

Hmm but it’s only in poe2 in other games I don’t have the crashes

[sacred compass]

in which case, go do that, side zone connected to the zone after the cemetary

[trim turret]

You get 100 spirit from the campaign, and you can get more from gear. But you shouldn't really be mixing minions and spells long term.

[rich prairie]

Okay

[shut abyss]

in poe specifically

[heady quartz]

ofc i have 130 rn but when i have the skill i dont need the scepter anymore right ?

[trim turret]

It's an early access game. There are bugs.

[twin yoke]

what's a things that drop in burning monolith? i'm doing my first citadel for it

[sacred compass]

well more spirit = more minions

or you can get some amount of extra minions while keeping your presence on

[heady quartz]

aight ill grind untill i got it ......right after i give it one last try with count Diddy

[sacred compass]

sounds like you are close though, getting to second phase and lasting until the minion phase is pretty much everthing he does

once you have that phase down you are pretty much done

[rich prairie]

Okay

[boreal peak]

How?

[rich prairie]

Kk

[trim turret]

How what?

[boreal peak]

30 in freythorn

And the rest?

[shut abyss]

bog witch

[trim turret]

30 in act 1, 30 in act 3 normal, 40 in act 3 cruel.

[boreal peak]

azak bog?

I have those missions left, thanks

Any more missions that are highly recommended to do?

[trim turret]

If it's your first time through, why not do all of them?

[normal ibex]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Quest#Quest_Markdown/ Spoiler link

[sacred compass]

do you mind if i DM you?

[normal ibex]

but just clear all the side icons on the map, and theres not actually may side quests in general

[heady quartz]

go right ahead XD

[spark bane]

is there any advantage of using a staff compared to wand? or just completely garbage in general?

[haughty niche]

easy to roll, solid skills provided by them

[sacred pond]

why am I crashing in Ogham Village ? Is there an issue with the game ? I am running 13600kf with a 6900XT

[haughty niche]

A well-rolled wand + shield will usually outperform staves tho tbh

[spark bane]

yeah thats what I was thinking

I do have a super good staff for a future mage, but I think at the point I reach the level to use it a wand + shield might do much less dmg, but way more survivability

[fierce panther]

I died in a trial of chaos but now it wont let me start a new one, it just says "this operation could not be completed"

[split lark]

How many times do i have to do the djinn barya thing for trial of sekhemas? i completed it once but didnt get any ascendancy skill points?

[trim turret]

Once for your first set as long as you make it through and click the thing at the end. The others come later.

[split lark]

Yeah im trying to do my 2nd one. it said it would give me additional ascendancy points

But it requires more than one run with it?

[trim turret]

More than one floor maybe, shouldnt be more than one run.

[split lark]

Hmm okay maybe iuts just a new floor. ill try it

[dire python]

i finished one trials and need to do another... where do i get the djinns?

[azure lava]

Yeah, at the end of the treasure room after the first boss is a door to the next floor. Gotta beat that to get your second ascension (if you didn't do trial of chaos for your second one)

[haughty niche]

[real glade]

Do you get heavily punished if you build your class wrong? I have 5 unspent skill points

[ember jasper]

stats>whats being provided as main stat.

[azure lava]

You can refund passive points for gold. 5 points should be no problem, but respeccing your whole tree can get expensive

[ember jasper]

You can respec at the Hooded One for gold, its fairly lost cost. You can screw up your build with gear, general rule of thumb is DONT EXPERIMENT ON LIVE GEAR with currency items and whatnot.

Can someone help me kill napautzi

[wicked sage]

Hey guys! I have spent way too much much time on the 1st trial and I’m ready to throw in the towel, I do great damage, I just have low honor at boss , and even with relics I’m struggling, would anyone be able to help me get through it?

[ember jasper]

You want honour resistance relics to trivialize the damage taken from hits.

[humble orbit]

Can you annoit item with something else if its already has an annoinment?

[fierce panther]

is there something i can do with extra cut skill gems that i dont need and arent worth selling to other players?

[haughty niche]

hoard for alt characters

drop

[haughty niche]

pretty sure, yes. Would replace

[fierce panther]

just making sure there isnt some kind of disenchant/reforge thing for them, thanks

[ember jasper]

you can quality and jeweller them up and then corrupt them

[fresh mulch]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/lightning-arrow-deadeye

this build have things like barrage and voltaic mark and why in this build there is no more support gems in them? should i put something more in them/

[ember jasper]

pray for 5th slot unlock or +1 level corruption result

[fierce panther]

already corrupted hehe, just making sure there wasnt something else to consume them before dumping them on the ground

[haughty niche]

read the descriptions on the left of that

they are purely for utility and don't need any other supports/nothing else useful

[ember jasper]

you can 3d print them and smash them IRL if thats what you need as extra

[fresh mulch]

mhm thats sad

[humble orbit]

thanks

I just started the game on standard and was wondering after every league do standard characters and/or stashes get wiped? Also does standard get updates ever

[haughty niche]

Standard is the baseline league that everything gets dumped into

When we get temporary leagues, they require new characters to be made in them with no access to standard stash/economy.

When those end, they get dumped into standard. Its kind of like a character graveyard for most people

Temp league characters go to their parent league (standard), temp league stashes get dumped to parent league as remove-only tabs (additional to your standard tabs, but you can't put items in them only take away).

As for updates, Standard gets balance patches/core game updates at the same time as new leagues

those are considered to be updating the game's balance as a whole

What it doesn't get is the new league content

That is only in the temporary leagues. And when those temp leagues end, ggg decides whether or not it will go into the core game (becoming part of standard). Usually this process takes roughly the duration of a league in recent years

[forest lily]

Are the resistance penatly only through act 1-3 or does it go through cruetly as well?

[haughty niche]

through cruel as well

[forest lily]

-10% throughout each act?

[haughty niche]

yes

-60% total

[forest lily]

thx

[worn bramble]

Thx that really clears things up was worried my main character and loot would get wiped

[haughty niche]

So if you were curious what was strictly league-only its:

• new league mechanic(s)
• better economy (fresh start, more players)
• Challenges (these reward stuff like cosmetic armour sets, portal mtx, etc).

[lime river]

by default, lets say they both hit for 100 damage and no other bonuses are involved
Ignite is stronger than poison right? which is why Poison can build stacks and Ignite does not?

[haughty niche]

by default neither have stacks

[opaque stone]

They're identical at baseline

Except Ignite can never reach 100% chance

[lime river]

20% of hit damage?

[opaque stone]

Yeah

[opaque stone]

Well, fire vs chaos, but otherwise identical

[lime river]

is there any reason to ever go ignite over poison if it cant stack like psn up to 8 charges?

[opaque stone]

Currently ignite is kinda shit

Mainly because they quartered it's damage from the first game

Without changing anything else about it (positively)

[haughty niche]

the way they changed how you apply ignite/poison off of hits in poe2 made the whole dot archetype kind of lose its charm

[lime river]

so atm they are functionally the same outside of fire/chaos?

[opaque stone]

At baseline, but poison is more scalable because you can have multiple stacks

[haughty niche]

In poe1 it only used the base hit prior to scaling, but took 100% of that damage. So you didn't invest into the hit much besides some flat damage, leaving all your damage investments into actual dot multipliers/increaseds.

In poe2 since it uses 20% of the total damage of the hit you kind of need to invest in the hit too, unless you have a skill that applies the dot directly.

[lime river]

welp there goes that build idea out the window if Ignite is really in that bad of shape

[haughty niche]

I still want to do a flameblast ignite build but atm im waiting for ignite support/buffs honestly

[opaque stone]

Ignite is basically an okay bonus for fire skills rn, and isnt really something you can specialize in

[little crown]

I'm getting wrecked in act 3. Where can I find poison resist stuff

[opaque stone]

Get chaos res on gear or an Antidote Charm

Stuck on Viper i presume?

[lime river]

well here is a question, the Blackflame ring or wahtever it is, converts ignite damage to chaos damage.

Would taht convert to chaos damage after fire exposure/fire pen, or in theory would you need to scale chaos damage

[opaque stone]

You scale fire damage, but it's resisted as if chaos damage

So Fire damage, but Despair instead of Flammability and Withered instead of Fire Exposure

[lime river]

so Pen and exposure are still useful for your first hit

but dont fully invest in it

[craggy gyro]

i am assuming that this does not work with ice strike?

it's kinda nuts

[little crown]

From where?

[opaque stone]

It does, why wouldnt it

Is it good? Almost certainly not because of how long the cooldown is

[opaque stone]

Luck for chaos res, and there's a quest in act 3 that can reward the charm

[craggy gyro]

the ice strike will get that cooldown?

haha

[opaque stone]

Yes thats what the support does

[craggy gyro]

alr

[little crown]

Thanks! I'll try and find the quest. I looked on trade site, but I don't have much regals/exalts so I don't wanna waste it

[opaque stone]

Viper really sucks cuz she makes up like, 95% of all chaos damage you'll see in the campaign rn

[lime river]

so pen/exposure is not useful for making the ignite bigger?

that seems kind of weird

[opaque stone]

Exposure works, but only because it affects the ignite's damage

Pen is hits only

[eager basin]

^

[lime river]

so what you reply to me before

you just had to say yes

both are useful for the first hit

but only exposure helps the ignite its self?

[eager basin]

that is not correct

[lime river]

bruh

[scenic salmon]

Bigger hit bigger ignite though isn't that right?

[eager basin]

unless the wiki is incorrect and there is an exception for penetration, penetration does not affect ignite at all

[lime river]

if pen and exposure did not help the initial hit, they are dead stats

[eager basin]

exposure will not do anything if you're running blackflame, but for a regular ignite it will affect the damage dealt by the ignite itself

[lime river]

thats not what a mean

initial hit

the hit that does the damage

the hit that causes the ignite

we need that be as big as possible right?

[eager basin]

I have no idea what you're trying to get at

[lime river]

if you hit for 100 damage

ignite is 20

make the 100 damage hit

200 damage

bigger ignite

[opaque stone]

If you deal 100 damage, and enemy has 75 fire res, and you have 75 penetration, you deal 100 damage but your ignite deals 5 damage because it doesnt benefit from penetration

[lime river]

ty that is what I was looking for

[eager basin]

apparently it's even specified in the tooltip

[lime river]

feels like it would be pointless to try and buff up that 5 with debuffs

hopefully they change it in the future

[golden bay]

do you need playstation plus to play poe2?

[haughty niche]

i dont think that was a requirement for poe1 but unsure

a simple google search showed like 50 obvious results saying its not needed

[visual onyx]

So just arrived to act 2 and was wondering, is each point of armor, ES and evasion rating generally worth the same? like even in a ES build would I rather have 50 ES or 25 ES 75 armor or evasion

[dusky burrow]

es is more valuable than evasion and armour by a significant margin

[visual onyx]

by how much

[haughty niche]

a significant margin

[dusky burrow]

the exact ratios depend on your build

[normal ibex]

so, defences are garbage and only ES is anygood because its just extra life?

[dusky burrow]

i found es to be pretty bad early on as you can't sustain /recover it very well

[dusky burrow]

evasion is great, armour is okay

1 pt of es > 1 pt of evasion, but items grant way more evasion/armour than they do es

[haughty niche]

With current enemy balance, player lifepool is incredibly difficult to scale. ES is the easiest way to scale it.

Evasion is great for preventing some incoming damage from lowering that pool, but if the pool itself is too low then you will just get 1shot by stray attacks.

Armour is pretty dogshit. But it does help against the tiny enemy hits that already wouldn't kill you

[elder eagle]

Why are divines doubling in value

[normal ibex]

so we balance ES and evasion in general early on and ignore armour builds?

[visual onyx]

Alright so as a Witch lv 18 I will go for gear with ES, but if it has for example 25 ES 75 evasion I will go for that over 50 ES (assuming white gear, no modifiers)

[dusky burrow]

again, it depends on your build

if you're a warrior with a ton of str, i dont see why you wouldnt go for armour

there's a lot of phys in the campaign anyway

[haughty niche]

honestly if you are in campaign id just completely ignore Evasion/armour. If you have the option to take some for free, then of course go for it, but life/ES and resistances are way more important in campaign

like im barely considering what bases im using in campaign, just whether they have better resists and life

[inner knot]

hi guys, I just got scammed on a trade and im wondering if there's anyway to report the player

[haughty niche]

thats not reportable unfortunately

[inner knot]

seller gave me a wrong item on the trade but I didn't check it

[inner knot]

ahh man alright

[haughty niche]

Its up to the purchaser to ensure they are getting the right item, and the game forces you to hover over it before purchase

[inner knot]

makes sense

[haughty niche]

Just make sure you pay attention during trades.
People will try the same thing in reverse, giving wrong currency type or less currency when buying.

A big one is putting right amount in, waiting, cancelling, then initiating the trade again and putting in the wrong amount.

[misty sedge]

is there a jewel that could help fix my mana issue? im a ice strike monk level 50

[serene thicket]

mana on kill

[haughty niche]

not really that id know of. Mana on kill or %mana on kill could help a tiny bit but not during bosses

[fathom abyss]

Try and get really high mana regen

[craggy gyro]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWgKVjQzM9s

[dusky burrow]

% recover on kill is op for mapping but useless for bosses

[serene thicket]

should have enough dps on monk + bell to kill bosses fast enough

[flat fog]

can anyone help me

[fathom abyss]

With what

[visual onyx]

no

[fathom abyss]

I will help with what ever you need

[dusk shadow]

I have quest items that can be exchanged with Oswald but I went into cruel mode act 1, is there way to give them in? It’s taking up half my inventory and I can’t drop or sell them

[fathom abyss]

Go back to act 3

[dusk shadow]

I was using the quest map and couldn’t teleport, I’m dumb 😑

[long sequoia]

how rare are vaal orbs usually?

[fathom abyss]

[shut abyss]

not that rare that i'd remember if i used the altar or not

[cedar bobcat]

Guys can someone tell me why my frenzy is not activated i legit cant activate charged staff i got everything

Frenzy doesn't give charged staff

Power charges do. Resonance passive skill converts frenzy charge to power charges

[modest copper]

why are uniques such trash man

buff them already

[cedar bobcat]

i got resonance also

and still dont get this

[hard cypress]

Only on freeze and electrocute (not shock)

[modest copper]

[hard cypress]

Its more meant to be niche

[odd scarab]

[wooden crane]

Prefixes/sufix

[lament stone]

it depends on the mod

[haughty niche]

Oh. Completely depends on each affix

[lament stone]

[haughty niche]

Can be as low as 2 and high as like 14+

[wooden crane]
