[craggy gyro]

what

[haughty niche]

or rather 60% of the video is just kind of wasting time

[craggy gyro]

the guide is near perfect

[haughty niche]

i think most people i know would probably disagree lol

also the written portion is pretty barebones

[winter patio]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaRbdMNGkzs this dood is better

[haughty niche]

never heard of that guy either. Honestly I don't think being 3x as long of a video is helping lol

[craggy gyro]

hahahaha

u hate everything huh

[haughty niche]

I like Vindiction's written guide a lot more at least

[craggy gyro]

here is my written guide

[haughty niche]

explains strengths and weaknesses, orders notes, etc

[craggy gyro]

• put damage nodes and have fun

in all seriousness

for starters without anything

gelid staff is great for leveling

tooltip is sick

because most of my damage is conditional

it goes up to 9-10k plus debuffs

[haughty niche]

tooltip dps is pretty useless on most builds yeah

[craggy gyro]

that's why the guide i sent was a good one because of the nodes he used

the triple elemental

[haughty niche]

thats not really helping your case

[craggy gyro]

for ice strike

with 13% crit weapon base

[haughty niche]

this is like normal stuff. Theres nothing special about it

[craggy gyro]

guide is great

do elemental shit

for monk

[haughty niche]

well imo if someone wanted more actual guidance, all the maxroll options are better

[craggy gyro]

almost end game

but tbh

if they get one exalt

they can get a giga weapon

and not even care about damage

[glacial palm]

You're not wrong, just going about it wrong 😅

Like gelid staff with freezing shards is honestly a great leveling weapon. Good cast time, strong freeze, good point blank damage.
Very comfy weapon.

[rocky wave]

is possible to set to show only rare waystones on filterblade ?

[vague hollow]

how does the uncut skill gem system work?

am i supposed to use them on my current skills to level em up as i get them?

or save them up

[craggy gyro]

always upgrade

[haughty niche]

its used to get new skills and upgrade ones you already have

[craggy gyro]

it's automatic

once u use the gems it levels up the ones u are using

and in case u don't have the skill

it takes up the level of the gem

[vague hollow]

oh it levels every skill u have?

[craggy gyro]

nono just one

one at a time

[vague hollow]

oh

[craggy gyro]

one skill per gem

[vague hollow]

how do i know how far to push a skill before stopping and using the gems on something else

[craggy gyro]

if u want to try something else out

[haughty niche]

I mean, if you are using a skill you want it to be as high of a level as possible unless its some utility thing like a curse

[craggy gyro]

that's generally it

[haughty niche]

or weird cases where it gets too high mana cost etc

But most of the time you are updating your damage skill asap

[vague hollow]

but if i'm using a low lv skill then reach the primary skill i want to use, wouldn't i want gems banked up to level it?

[haughty niche]

that wont happen

Gems are tiered

[vague hollow]

oh ok

[craggy gyro]

gems drop from lvl 1-20

[haughty niche]

You got a lvl 4 skill gem, can't use it to level a higher lvl skill / anything above lvl 4

[vague hollow]

so just unlock the recommended skills, then upgrade em until i reach the next skill unlock

[craggy gyro]

yes

[vague hollow]

gotcha

[craggy gyro]

u also dont have to worry picking the wrong skill or the one u dont like

skill gems are common

[haughty niche]

except spirit skill gems

in campaign you can really fuck up a run if you pick the wrong one for a build

Specifically on minions. They need Summon Raging Spirits since every other minion just falls over and dies before it can do much damaage

[tight radish]

any1 help with jamanra king

[daring dragon]

#2┃looking-for-group

[strange wharf]

Hey 👋 I was wondering if I purchase the game twice, for pc and ps5, would I have access to my same character? is it possible to link steam with playstation on 1 account?

[daring dragon]

Yes

[strange wharf]

omg this game is perfect, ty

[daring dragon]

Game has cross progression

[glacial palm]

Only downside btw: If you purchase stuff like stash tabs on playstation, they aren't available on PC

[strange wharf]

oh thats good to know, appreciate it

[compact crypt]

where is the sacrificial site again?

[boreal hedge]

Will killing the act 3 final boss lock me out of the chaos trial?

[sacred agate]

You can always go back and do trials

[compact crypt]

I got to mapping and I still have this heart in my inventory lmao

[sacred agate]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/permanent-stats-from-campaign

[boreal hedge]

Okay good. Last game I played before this was bg3 and I'm still traumatized by act sensitive quests

[compact crypt]

thanks

it doesn't say where the altar is

aggorat?

[sacred agate]

It does thouigh

Though *

[compact crypt]

it says "at the altar"

[sacred agate]

Literally lists the areas first

[compact crypt]

oh okay so aggorat

sorry

thanks

how do I get back there

lol

the portal brings me to chaotic

[celest marsh]

xD i never got that doneee lol

[wicked sage]

Hey guys! I desperately Need help with the trial of chaos, I do great damage but honor system keeps messing up my runs, would anyone care to help?

User name Lnfernomancer

[sacred agate]

#2┃looking-for-group

[glacial palm]

Wait, does chaos have the honour system as well?

[sacred agate]

No

[runic palm]

if i put this in my wepon, will spells and totems also leech mana?

[glacial palm]

I didn't think so, but it's been a minute lol

[runic palm]

aslong as they do physical dmg

[glacial palm]

Umm...

I think the answer you want is no.

Whether or not they get the leech stat, you're not getting that life*

[plush mantle]

no, because it doesn't leech mana

body rune is life leech 🙂

[runic palm]

oh ok, i meant life xD

[austere hamlet]

Can anyone help me kill Jamanra in Act2 normal?

[runic palm]

do i get the life xD

[plush mantle]

in PoE1, totems would leech for themselves. More fundamentally, in PoE2, weapon mods affect skills that use that weapon, so spells that don't require that weapon wouldn't leech either

[compact crypt]

can someone tp me to aggorat (non chaotic) username is codebamm

I have no idea how to get there because it's in the past and there's no "past" teleport to aggorat

[glacial palm]

Hey, you could go help the dude that was asking in #2┃looking-for-group for help with Jamanra.

Would get you most of the way there lol

[compact crypt]

oh sure I'll do that

thanks

[runic palm]

ok, but this would work for totems right?

[plush mantle]

yeah, I don't think there is a way to the Aggorat without someone who hasn't finished Act 3

[runic palm]

the 5% leech

[glacial palm]

The point Silvanis and I were getting at is that in the end, it's no.

They may (probably do) get the leech stat, but that doesn't mean they leech for you.

If they attack and leech life, they should* leech for themselves if they do get the stat.

[plush mantle]

the implication is that the totem would leech to itself, not to you

[glacial palm]

Like in poe we had a unique and a passive iirc, that made totems leech for you.
Don't believe we have anything like that in poe2

If an effect did that though, it will be quite specific about it.

[waxen osprey]

can I change the distilled emotion ability on my amulet?

[glacial palm]

Yep, just apply a new one.

[plush mantle]

yep, as long as it isn't corrupted

[runic palm]

Ok, thanks for the answer

[compact crypt]

can anyone give me a tp to the past? non chaotic

[sick sage]

Huh

[torn bough]

can you annoint an amulet thats already corrupted?

[meager galleon]

no

[vapid cave]

for a spark build would it be worth just buying a The Everlasing Gaze instead of trying to farm for it to get MoM up?

[lusty wharf]

how is unarmed damage determined?

[plush mantle]

it's actually a decent chance orb target, although it competes with Ungil's Harmony

[vapid cave]

that requires getting chance orbs

i could buy one for 10 exalt, or get like 2 chance orbs...

[plush mantle]

think you're more likely to find those than a random unique, and you can salvage uniques for chance shards. But that's if you want to farm for it

[vapid cave]

i havent been getting any uniques!

[plush mantle]

well, that's rude of the game

[vapid cave]

i got 4 chance shards rn

thats it

but hey at least my spark is at 20% quality now

[ancient walrus]

what is exposure? is it the same as penetration?

[narrow frigate]

how do i dodge jamanra's nuklear ground slam of super death in the halani gates? Can't seem to find a single spot in the tiny area to not get instakilled by it

[plush mantle]

sorta, but penetration can't reduce a resistance below 0

[haughty niche]

Its not the same

[ancient walrus]

oh cool, ty

[haughty niche]

Like exposure lowers the enemy resist, and pen treats the resist as lower (min 0) during the calc

[vapid cave]

which is calced first?

like if im using exposure should i bother with any penetration?

[meager galleon]

i think exposure first, then pen, but i would need to doublecheck to be sure

[haughty niche]

Well exposure is a debuff

[vapid cave]

penetration sounds useless with exposure if exposure is first

[plush mantle]

the long explaination is that curses lower resistance by as much are you can build effectiveness/levels in them. Exposure starts at 20% and is harder to scale. Penetration scales fairly easily, but caps at 0 resist on the enemy

[lusty wharf]

Anyone know how unarmed damage is determined/

[hard cypress]

Is this the one where you need to be inside the small safe area ?

[spice moon]

How does the Coming Calamity on the passive tree work? Is it straight up damage increase for each herald active?

[vapid cave]

game wont let me gamble more :(

[plush mantle]

it's annoying that unarmed isn't a keyword to find out in game. What's the context? In PoE1 it was 2-8 at best, but in PoE2, all the unarmed attack skills add a bunch of flat damage

[craggy gyro]

what is considered as recently

4 seconds?

or what

[plush mantle]

Recently is a keywork, you should be able to highlight it and find out 🙂

but yes, 4 seconds

[daring night]

Unless otherwise specified, Unarmed Attacks do not benefit from your equipped Weapon. Those skills usually have flat damage on the skill itself

[craggy gyro]

if i anoint this i get 71% crit chance

[craggy gyro]

but if this has little downtime

could be better overall

4 sec sounds like a long time

insane

that's with current shitty gears

i need crit chance or crit multi on my amulet and helmet

[vapid cave]

update: got this for 8 exalt

[plush mantle]

the palm skills all scale base with gem levels as well, so it's a valid question. Does make me wonder if it scales on strength or something

maybe character level

[vapid cave]

i... definitely needed an upgrade

[lusty wharf]

thank you. Trying a completely unarmed run. Well, fist + shield in HCSSF. so...

[vapid cave]

i kinda forgot about my amulet until rn and realized i dont hae anymore gambles becuase i was trying to get a new spirit robe...

[lusty wharf]

Doing an unarmed (fist+shield) run

[craggy gyro]

oh my god it is possible

goddamn

90+ at least

[lusty wharf]

so I was hoping STR would help

[meager galleon]

help with what ?

[lusty wharf]

unarmed damage

[plush mantle]

best option seems to be scaling flat damage to attacks on gear

[meager galleon]

poe doesnt work like that, by default str only gives you some extra hp

[scenic salmon]

If you wear the armour and use staggering palm I guess

[lusty wharf]

that's what I'm going to try to do

[daring night]

Interesting idea. But I’m not sure unarm has good support in the game right now. We don’t have unique like facebreaker from poe1 yet. Also, although the skill flat damage doesn’t directly come from your weapon, I assume the + gem level from weapon would still apply to the skill, which still increases their damage.

[meager galleon]

if you want scale dmg from an attribute you need something (a unique item usually) to give you that scaling

[lusty wharf]

Oh, it definitely doesn't, but I like to play weird builds on HCSSF

[maiden mango]

How can I post a party, I am shown that my party is full, but I don't see one and I don't see a party, how can I leave the party, kick people out of my party, chat command?

[proper eagle]

geonor is kicking my ass does by build just suck ass?

im doing no damage

even the mobs take like 5 hits to kill

[meager galleon]

what build ?

[proper eagle]

im trying ranger doing lighting build

i can never get dmg tho

[meager galleon]

lightnign rod with lightning arrow ?

[proper eagle]

i can't get the lightning rods to do anything bc the boss/mobs just rush out of the way

i try but get like one hit off and then im back to trying to shoot the rods but just die

[meager galleon]

you dont really want to do dmg with the rods directly

[proper eagle]

yeah i try and stick them in the ground and then shoot lighting arrow

[meager galleon]

you create a zone with them, and then you want to shoot enemies with lightning arrow while they are where the rods are

[proper eagle]

but the boss/mobs just move out of the zone

[meager galleon]

do you use scatter shot on rods
and do you have electrocuting arrow ?

[proper eagle]

i have scatter shot, not electrocuting arrow

[meager galleon]

also whats your bow looking like ?

[proper eagle]

also wondering how tf i get better gear, mobs and bosses have dropped 0 bows

i had to buy a bow from flynn

[meager galleon]

that happens, thats just rng, sometimes you find decent gear, sometimes you dont

[scenic salmon]

Gambling?

[proper eagle]

this is the bow im using rn

[meager galleon]

thats not a very good bow tbh

[proper eagle]

well i dont have any others

this is all i have

[meager galleon]

fair

[proper eagle]

same w armor

[scenic salmon]

Have you checked the other vendor?

[proper eagle]

like my gear is shit and i havent found anything good all the vendors sell overpriced shit

[meager galleon]

so yeah, attack builds depend a lot on the weapon dmg, cos the weapons dmg is your base dmg, so thats why you are hurting in that aspect

[proper eagle]

i get its not diablo but god damn after 5/6 hours id expect to find at least one piece of gear???

[meager galleon]

also about the electrocuting arrow i asked before, get that, you use it at bos and then hitting him with lightning dmg will build up electrocute which is essencially a multi second stun when it procs

[sacred agate]

In this ga me you find good bases

[scenic salmon]

[sacred agate]

And craft them

Also levelling items isnt that important you will out grow them fast

[proper eagle]

should i not save crafting stuff?

[sacred agate]

These ones you will get many of throughout the game

at least the blue ones

Just slam them onto good white bases

check the NPC vendors for upgrades etc

[scenic salmon]

Crafting us hardly worth while I fell in campaign if you need a bow you kill a boss 5 times till it drops

[sacred agate]

Its not exactly like D4 where you get insane drops that just work for you instantly

[proper eagle]

oh so i should go back to an area and farm?

and then come back to geonor probs>

[sacred agate]

If you are ranged you should be able to do the content at level or +1 level above the area level

Thats how most of us did it

[scenic salmon]

If the state of affairs is that bad? Surely
It's more of a hardcore thing but

[sacred agate]

If you cant beat the boss, gain a few levels

[proper eagle]

well im getting bodied lol area level says 15 and im lvl 18 but do nothin against any enemies

even the mobs are rolling me

[sacred agate]

Are you following a guide or just doing a blind playthrough?

[proper eagle]

a guide on mobalytics but i cant find what support gems the build says to use

its kinda confusing

ive just been following the passive skill tree for ir

*it

like how do i get martial tempo?

that wasnt even an option w my gems or whatever

[sacred agate]

You click All Gems

[tropic birch]

Anyone working on fireball stormweaver?

[proper eagle]

ah i see i can just choose any of them

[sacred agate]

Yes

[proper eagle]

i need a better bow forsure

do i just blow money at flynn or?

[pliant horizon]

me too lol

[boreal hedge]

Does killing the last boss in act 3 take you straight to cruel

Or can I do a few things first

[pliant horizon]

you can select the map again

*act

[meager galleon]

entering the portal there will take you straight to cruel

but once you walk to town, you can waypoint back

[narrow frigate]

either of these worth buying?

[meager galleon]

what are your current boots?

and you dont have dex for the right ones

[meager galleon]

if the left one witht he move speed also had a decent life roll i would consider it

[vagrant anchor]

i need to cop me one of those

[meager galleon]

as is, not worth it imo

[narrow frigate]

yeah i wasnt sure if the extra move speed and reduced attribute req would be good without the extra life roll but my current boots dont have life on em either

not getting slowed is quite nice though

[midnight bough]

my accounts has rolled back to the start of cruel moode?

[meager galleon]

the reduced attribute req is only for the boots itself

[vagrant anchor]

how??

[narrow frigate]

oh i never knew it only applied to the item itself, very cool but very saddening

[midnight bough]

i dont know, i was near end of act 3, i logged in this morn and my quests had dissappeared, went tthrough time portal and im back at start.

could it be because i skipped all side mmissions?

[vagrant anchor]

progress should be saved on server

[tribal plaza]

How does work with charge staff?

[vagrant anchor]

log off and try logging back in

[midnight bough]

that did it, thanks, wierd af

[fair stream]

Is there a res pen in act2 Cruelty

[lyric ember]

What white items are worth trying to sell like stellar amulet?

someone just offered me 50 ex for my stellar

[rain kite]

how do I get the 3rd and 4th ascendency item, level 65 and failed 3rd once, cant find another

[fair stream]

I have like 4 of them but they are all different levels.. maybe I can give you one layer

[rain kite]

ideally level 61 bc im weak but id appreciate it, can pay w ex

[surreal hemlock]

Are there ever any premium points sale ? Or they mostly cost same throughout the year

[queen canopy]

every couple of weeks stashtabs go on sale but no points are always the same price

[vivid panther]

can I get some help with doryani? im in normal mode and I get wacked at the half way point of phase 2

[storm atlas]

I facetanked second act boss with my warrior with no problems, why was the trial of chaos so hard

[hardy sun]

Depends on what afflictions or debuffs you get

[storm atlas]

I had to grind it more than 10 times

and the boss died when i was at 10% hpo and no flask

[rough lintel]

both trial of sekhemas and trial of chaos are disproportionately difficult compared to their area level

most people start attempting when they're 5-10 levels above the area

[storm atlas]

was trial of chaos not mandatory for campaign progression?

I thought I was stuck for a week

but people were saying act 2 boss was hard. my sorc did zdps so i could not get past it, but the warrior easilly beat him

[craggy gyro]

u can finish campaign without ascension

but ascending helps a ton

[storm atlas]

i guess I've missed something in wetlands

[pulsar spruce]

Stellar amulets were going for 90 ex in trade chat yesterday. Some people also buy white sapphire rings and white heavy belts.

[surreal hemlock]

Sold 3 stellars like that yesterday. Feels like they are nice for new players to get a little bit of currency and try out some cheap builds.

[pulsar spruce]

Very true!

[idle tide]

holy i just sold one i had in my bank for 90ex

thank god i am a hoarder

im stacked now boys

thought it was just another useless white haha

[pulsar spruce]

Yeah people love the gamba. The amulet it turns into is worth almost 200 Divine right now.

[fair stream]

I have a hand full. I'm lvl 55 but have some from 60-77 lol..

[rain kite]

wonder why i cant get one to drop lol

[idle tide]

helps so much gearing alt toons with all these exalted

im RICH

[fair stream]

Lmao, I got mine given too me tbh. I have found like 2 with Cruel Act1 lol

When using trade website, I put In the stats I'm looking for but nothing gets found why is this?

[surreal hemlock]

Double check the stat you are searching for, it is possible that you misread as there are very similar stats sometimes

Happened to me yesterday, was looking for added lightning damage and instead i had a filter for added lightning damage to attacks

[vagrant anchor]

Yep

[fair stream]

Ermm not sure if h an tbh, I added two types of res like my ring does but nothing came up for me. I have like 60ex to upgrade my gear but I'm lost xD

Same with gloves wanted l attack speed and melee skill but nothing came up maybe it's the wrong filter properly

[idle tide]

besides stellar amu are there any other "unlikely" gold mine items to lookout for?

[steady flame]

Hey question. I am quite new to the game. Playing my first character monk, i went AoC ascendency as I saw it seems to be the least played. As best I can tell though it doesnt really gel with any of my unlocked monk skills and at some point im going to need to respec entirely. Also seems based on some reading around the spec is a tad half-baked. So yeah question 1) How screwed am I? 2) Given that my current generic monk build was full lightning power charge themed, should I respec, or can that be left for later? 3) Is the state of AoC as bad as people make it out to seem (at least in earlier levels) if so should I just wait a bit for it to be reworked?

[surreal hemlock]

White sapphire ring goes for like 5 ex

[scenic salmon]

Likely I'll find gloves hold

[bright dagger]

Are CANPLEMAKER unique gloves good for Load Explosive Shot skill?

[idle tide]

u can respec with gold

[idle tide]

ill be on the lookout o7

[sacred agate]

I mean if he picked Chula and wanted to go Invoker

Then he cant respec

[surreal hemlock]

and possibly white heavy belt, but dont have experience selling it

[sacred agate]

Step 1. Stop listening to meta chasing kids.

A build can be doable without hitting +500k DPS.

Probably better to ask here #1308715058716610580

Since this is campaign chat.

[fair stream]

I hHe like a decent amount of Ex around 70ex total to upgrade evhrhjng besides my staff.. no idea where to start tbh

[sacred agate]

Or #2┃build-planning

[steady flame]

I am happy with picking an underdog class, the issue is currently im not very clear on how to proceed, the monk skills are all ice/lightning and this seems to want me to go chaos. Do I even need to respec at this early point (right after picking the ascendency) or do I just keep playing lightning power charge until I have more stuff unlocked.

[sacred agate]

Would still be better to ask in the relevant channels.

[steady flame]

Do I really need to theorycraft a specific build just to get past ACT 2 of the campaign?

[daring dragon]

No

[sacred agate]

No. But checking vendors for gear and getting 1-2 lvls above the area

always helps

That being said. Monk has prob the most AIDS levelling act 1-4

[daring dragon]

I made it through the whole campaign with my homebrew merc and never played poe before.

[sacred agate]

Monk bangs lategame though

But you suffer abit early

[steady flame]

im currently stuck at the end of act 2, what is an effective way to get some levels? do I just go through random maps and clear over and over

[sacred agate]

Yes

[surreal hemlock]

Not random, check for the highest monster level as that will give you most exp

[sacred agate]

Highest map area

and clear it a few times

So most likely the area leading up to the boss

[steady flame]

aaight ill just do that for now then thanks. might also respec out of lightning/power charges and just try something different

[surreal hemlock]

I am having a blast with lightning/power but it really came on later at the end of act 3

until then I was mainly abusing tempest bell

[unborn glade]

Does anyone know if its possible to upgrade a weapon skill level in my case on the chiming staff it has sigil of power, i love the stats on it but the skill is on a very low level...

[craggy gyro]

have u unlocked dreadnought

[sacred agate]

You cannot

To my knowledge increase the ilvl of a dropped item

[unborn glade]

Rip okay

[steady flame]

im at the final boss currently. he has a massive wall of health that I just cant get down

[craggy gyro]

farm dreadnought

many monsters

[sacred agate]

Are you using it as main weapon? Or offhand for sigil only?

[craggy gyro]

bonkers exp

[steady flame]

yeah fair enough sound like a plan, I guess ill see how many levels I can realistically overlevel before doing the boss

[unborn glade]

Actually as main weapon, im using only spells made some kind of an spark stormweaver build

[craggy gyro]

are u playing in standard league?

do you perhaps have any exalted orbs

maybe buy a weapon upgrade

i will buy you one if you cant

[gloomy estuary]

What is the point of corrupting armor

[steady flame]

im just standard league, im good for now plus not actually playing at the moment just working and chatting. but much appreciate the offer

[craggy gyro]

i see

you'll be fine

[craggy gyro]

plus 1 more socket

if lucky 2 becomes 3

or enchants

like +max life

or something

[gloomy estuary]

Gotcha

[craggy gyro]

energy shield % too

or nothing happens

or it becomes shit

those are the possibilities

[sturdy barn]

apparently the mod feeding frenzy affects soul offering, but how does it actually work, can someone explain plz??

does it mean buffing 30% more spell dmg while minions take 20% more while active??

[prime bane]

Yeah, set it up with SRS and Instabilitiy + Legion and you can use Cast on Minion Death pretty consistently

[bitter wyvern]

Some1 knows how I can connect my Account to pc? I am playing on Console since beginning of Early Access, when i try to login with Epic Games it says me I dont have access on my Account (Login in with PS5 Account to Epic)

[plush mantle]

The spike itself is a minion, so it'll be affected by minion stats. But like GenMonk said, you'd have to add more supports to make it do damage before it would deal 30% more. It'll take 20% more regardless though

[plush mantle]

https://www.pathofexile.com/my-account/connections

[bitter wyvern]

I got it connected there,.. still I get the message

[plush mantle]

both Sony and Epic are connected there?

[bitter wyvern]

Well i got a weird number behind Epic but yea

It does not say connected as it does at Sony

And when i click "Purchase Access" it sends me to my Account on POE2 website

[plush mantle]

hmm...sounds like you probalby need to contact support then. But from what I understand, you'd log into Epic Games with your Epic account, not your Sony one

[tiny elm]

What do we do when we die after droping a quest item?

[bitter wyvern]

Damn.. ok,.. well thank you! 🙂

[plush mantle]

besides not dropping the quest item in the first place? 🙂 You should be able to get another one from wherever you got the one you dropped

but it's possible you're in a bad quest state since this is EA and they haven't put in all the protections against messing up your quests

[tiny elm]

I've to click on the belisks of rust in order to collect the rune, but i already clicked on the obelisk killed the boss but he killed me too, so I cannot interact with the obelisk now, maybe I should try to leave the zone and after some time it will reset?

[plush mantle]

The Red Vale has a waypoint, so you don't have to wait. Go back to town, then ctrl-click the waypoint and it'll bring up the instance manager. Make a new instance and see if you can interact with the obelisks then

[serene girder]

Can i use my steam account on xbox to login

[daring dragon]

The game has cross progression yes

[frigid mango]

I am trying to put the Chimeral Inscribed Ultimatum into the totem to do the ascendancy trial, but It won't allow me to move it from my inventory into the totem to start the ascendancy. I also can't remove it from inventory. Is there a different method to use this quest item?

[azure lava]

where are you trying to use it?

[plush mantle]

well, let's clarify: where are you?

[azure lava]

great minds think alike silv. And so do we

[narrow frigate]

finally got a good wand, would it be worth the risk to use a vaal orb on it?

[azure lava]

no, imo.
Unless you have a nearly equally good wand laying around. Then I'd say use it on the slightly weaker one

[plush mantle]

what do you want a vaal orb to do in this case?

[frigid mango]

the Trial of Sekhamas. I received the quest item in Normal difficulty, went to Chaos difficulty and now returned to Normal diff act 2 to do the ascendancy

[plush mantle]

Ultimatums are for the Trial of Chaos

[narrow frigate]

honestly no clue what it does but it would just be for the love of the gamble

[frigid mango]

OHHHH I knew it was something simple. THANK Y OU SO MUCH!!!

[narrow frigate]

its my best wand rn, was using this before

[plush mantle]

your choices are that it changes affixes, which you don't want, it rerolls the ranges, which you might want as it can go higher than the normal roll range, it could add an enchant, which might be useful, or it could do nothing. Now that does seem like a wand you'd use for a while, so it could be worth gambling on, but it also seems like it would make you cry if it messed it up

[narrow frigate]

i would indeed cry if this got ruined

have been on a constant power struggle since hitting act 1 cruel so this was a massive jump for me

[plush mantle]

then I wouldn't Vaal it 🙂

[narrow frigate]

now i just need to get "lucky" on the rest of my gear

[plush mantle]

on armor, a Vaal can also add a socket (again, ignoring the normal limit) so there's more positive outcomes. Magic weapons are riskier to Vaal

[sturdy barn]

i see thanks!

[bitter wyvern]

Btw,.. I just bought access now and it worked and is connected,.. that is really messed up somehow, gotta buy 2x Access to play..

[sturdy barn]

a noob question again, skill gems after corruption can still be upgraded right?

[plush mantle]

oh, right...Playstation. Blame Sony

[bitter wyvern]

Yea.. T_T

[sturdy barn]

lets say if i have a lv20 corrupted into a lv19, do i use an uncut 20 to level it back to 20 again???

[plush mantle]

Yes, one of the few things that can be "changed" after being corrupted. It's a carryover from PoE1 where you leveled gems with exp and could do that while they were corrupted

[plush mantle]

no, because the "-1 level" corruption stays and you can't get a level 21 uncut gem

[sturdy barn]

i see, so reupgrading works for any other level except max 20

[hasty osprey]

Is it possible to create a new channel for coop?

[sturdy barn]

this system is quite interesting this way

[plush mantle]

technically, it's upgrading works for any result that isn't -1 level 🙂

[daring dragon]

What do you mean?

There already is #2┃looking-for-group

[hasty osprey]

hmm okay yeah makes sense, thx

[plush mantle]

you can add a socket or quality to gems from corrupting them, those also stay when you level the gem

(can lose them too, but let's not dwell on that...)

[sturdy barn]

where would you guys have in mind if i want to get more skill details? want esp to compare +23% quality vs lvl21 of a minion skill gem

[plush mantle]

minion gems are especially hard to see the benefits of levels/quality. Probably Path of Building 2 would be the best place, but making your character without an import is a pain

[sturdy barn]

i see will check it out

thanks!

[plush mantle]

https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding-PoE2

the fact that it's a github link should be a warning about what you're getting into 😉

[leaden tapir]

hi guys, new to sorcerer and just wondering, whats the difference between staff and wand? should i focus on one or both? and whats the best unique that can help me throughout the campaign?

[sturdy barn]

it is for poe1 only?

[plush mantle]

the one I linked is PoE2

[meager galleon]

also the poe2 pob is still very much work in progress

[sturdy barn]

oops got it

[meager galleon]

basic stuff works, but lots to be done

[plush mantle]

staff is 2h and can get higher rolls on affixes than wands can. Chiming Staff is the only way to get chaos affixes though, while multiple wands can get that.

Wands also let you use foci or other shields, so it's a more defensive build (generally)

[leaden tapir]

so u cant use something like focus with staff?

[meager galleon]

correct

[plush mantle]

can't use sceptres with staves either, so you lose out on a potent source of spirit

(without setting up a second weapon set, anyway)

[leaden tapir]

oh i see, also for staff, i see that some of them grants skill. is the level of the skill they grant matter at all?

[plush mantle]

yep, matters the same way the level of your skill gem matters; more damage

[trim nexus]

I have 2 items with %30 lightening res and 1 ring with %24 lightening res

But my lightening res is %31 why is that?

[plush mantle]

skills on magic weapons also don't cost mana

[plush mantle]

you lost 10% elemental resistance for each act you enter

[normal ibex]

also, if one of those items is a charm it doesnt count

[leaden tapir]

oh i see, so both of these skills dont cost mana then. but i can override these skills with a higher ver of the same skill from higher level uncut gems right?

[plush mantle]

not with skills granted by weapons

[trim nexus]

Oh so rn how much res do I actually need to max?

[plush mantle]

for that staff in particular, I don't think you can override the version of spark that gets triggered either

[leaden tapir]

ahh, so if i equip this staff for example, im stuck with lvl 3 spark?

[plush mantle]

135% eventually (75% cap with -60% total resistance from making it to maps)

[trim nexus]

Ty

[tiny elm]

ty 🙂

[plush mantle]

Most of the skills granted by weapons are unique to that weapon type, so there's no option in the gemcutting menu for them

[plush mantle]

did it work?

[leaden tapir]

ah i see, thanks!

[real glade]

I finally found an ability I like. Crossbow - high velocity rounds, but something tells me it's probably not good/meta? 😦

[normal ibex]

people keep saying all skills for all weapons are good, so maybe experiment?

[azure lava]

I have no idea if that skill is meta or not, but if this is your first time playing, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a meta skill and a non-meta skill. Would you agree?

all skills can get you through the campaign if you use the proper build and gear

[woeful palm]

im new to poe2, there are no leagues at the moment?

[shut abyss]

i bet with base damage like that it can do alot of damage

[azure lava]

nope, there will be on launch. And if there's an economy reset, I believe all the current characters/stashes will be moved to a an early access league where new characters cannot be made

[woeful palm]

Ok thanks you !

[fresh mulch]

is there a way to check what skills interact with frenzy?

[azure lava]

there is no frenzy skill in poe2

do you mean frenzy charges?

[verbal igloo]

should i focus more on energy shield or evasion for monk

cus cruel difficulty mobs make quick work of me and i think i am doing something wrong with my build also are there any recommendations for passive skill tree to not be as squishy as i am right now

[shut abyss]

evasion/es both, wind dancer, ghostdance and grim feast are your spirit options, medidate is also an option in ascendancy
make sure your weapon is up to date and maybe make use of wave of frost and stormwave to soften or freeze them up abit before going melee

#1308715317375270952 has good stuff in it too

[verbal igloo]

thanks for the recommendation mate

[rare echo]

How to survive doryani lasers?

[signal ore]

so I never played POE or Diablo games, this looks a little bit too much for someone who just booted up the game 😭

[normal ibex]

for the first 30 levels, just ignore everything apart from the 1/8th slice your character class starts in. but at least read everything from teh start point to about halfway to the outside

[azure lava]

Just look at this stuff. Try not to take small nodes that don't lead to big nodes. Ie, maximize the number of big modes and minimize the number of small nodes

[shut abyss]

also looks like you only got two options there, damage or defense

[fleet mortar]

not able to beat act 1 boss any tips??? do i need to spend 2-3 hours for 1 level up?

[shut abyss]

probly trip to the vendor is enough, most of his skills shouldn't one shot you, most damage he does is cold

[scenic salmon]

A couple of shappire rings should be enough
If you do zero DMG I'm going to need a screen of your weapon and skills

[hardy sun]

Your main skill should be near 200dps for act1, higher is better but I'm guessing that dps could be a factor. Also learning the boss mechanics matters too. Took me many attempts to relearn the game

[fleet mortar]

vendor? i just managed to get him -70% in his final form but ran out of flasks and got mauled by wolfs but i dont have another 30min of pateince to that again lol

[shut abyss]

30minutes is way too long so you're either dodging too much or you're damage is not up to the task

[fleet mortar]

my damage is very low im playing as witch and throughout all my hours the chaos wand hardly does any dmg even to small enemies. Watched so many videos dk where im going wrong.

[shut abyss]

are you using raging spirits+firewall?

[normal ibex]

on the positive side, if you spent 20 minutes in the boss room your defences are reasonable.

i want to say wands are actually pretty bad apart from bone blast? or whatever its name is

[fleet mortar]

skeleton warrior x2 and archer x2. i have the monk staff which i dont use after 2nd stage

i think im cooked 😭

[azure lava]

You're using a quarterstaff?

[normal ibex]

but as moppari suggested, you need your spirit buff of raging spirits to chew up the count easily

[shut abyss]

nahh we'll just find you raging spirits and firewall and you're melt him

[fleet mortar]

yea its helped me kill most bosses quicker than the wand

[azure lava]

Uh oh

The wand probably has a very low level chaos bolt

[shut abyss]

and maybe a spectre...

[fleet mortar]

im guessing for those ima need to farm some levels to get the skill gems stuff

[azure lava]

What skills are you actually using to kill the boss aside from chaos bolt and the quarterstaff strike?

[shut abyss]

what level are you?

[fleet mortar]

level 16

[shut abyss]

aight i can help with that

[normal ibex]

not really, low level firewall is fine, and you should have a spitit gem from the king of the mists

[azure lava]

Let me ask this first: what do you WANT your build to do?

Minions? Spells? Quarterstaff attacks?

[shut abyss]

well yeah answer this first

[azure lava]

All classes can use all skills and gear. So if you want to use quarterstaves, more power to you. But I wouldn't recommend trying to do all three at once

[fleet mortar]

i havent really put much thought into that. i just go with what does more dmg

[flat fog]

can i do this w 1d https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/spark-lightning-conduit-stormweaver#gearing-header

[azure lava]

You can do basically any build for less than a div as long as it doesn't have any necessary uniques/items that cost more than a div

[azure lava]

Poe is a game that greatly rewards focus and specialization. I'd start by looking at what skills/playstyles feel fun to you and work on investing into those

Look for skill combos that enhance your strengths and cover your weaknesses

[signal ore]

Is evasive rating better than armor?

[azure lava]

Both are bad during the campaign, same with energy shield

Focus on life and resistances and ignore the defense type on the item

[signal ore]

Do I need to be picky with my scrolls of wisdom?

[shut abyss]

@fleet mortar what kind of damage are you building your passive tree?

[azure lava]

No, because halfway through act 1 you get the ability to identify all your items in town for free

And if you need more just buy em for 25g each

[fleet mortar]

ill do that

[flat fog]

@azure lava is this one

[fleet mortar]

gone with inteligence only since i assumed its whats a wand damage would base of

[azure lava]

Idk, #price-check📉
That item also varies wildly in cost based on the random roll on it

[fleet mortar]

i have like 80+ in int

[shut abyss]

attributes give zero damage

[azure lava]

Why?

[fleet mortar]

idk i assumed its like elden ring 😭

[azure lava]

hold alt and click on keywords to read what they do

don't assume

[normal ibex]

assumption: the mother of all clustertrucks

[shut abyss]

@fleet mortar i thinks you need to figure out what you want to do before you continue, it's going to get harder and harder to go forward if you're all over the place

[trim turret]

Not even a little bit. Reading is your best tool in POE. It also sounds like you were choosing weapons based on the basic skill built into them, and those skills are largely inconsequential.

[fleet mortar]

yeah ima just do that. my second day playing the game so im kinda rushing it

[azure lava]

there are two main types of damaging skills in poe; Spells and attacks.
Spells (including the innate skills on wands and staves) derive their base damage from the spell itself (which scales with the skill level).

Attacks derive their base damage from your (usually martial) weapon

[normal ibex]

tbh, i was pretty surprisd that stats have no impact on damage, not even a little

[shut abyss]

soooo, get back to us when you figure it out and if you didin't restart with a new class we'll fix you up yeah?

[lament stone]

the widowhail version of spark archmage is more expensive (because you need a good quiver and quiver effect jewels) early on, and weaker later on than the non bow version (need to sacrifice int to get dex for your bow and quiver, the damage scaling just cant get as high as mahuxotls)

[fleet mortar]

sure

[stoic scarab]

Can someone please help me run through black chamber in act 3 my ingame name is LightningRODny

[trim turret]

Then you have this catch-all attribute based on the type of build you're playing and can lazily pump that number up. Hurts build variety.

[azure lava]

truly any skill/archetype can get you through the campaign no problem as long as you build around it effectively. So just go with something you like and you can make it function

[signal ore]

Just to be sure you can't customise your characters looks and body proportions?

[trim turret]

No.

[fleet mortar]

yeah ill look for a focused build and then go with that. hopefully theres an option to reset skill tree 💀

[trim turret]

Your build is your identity.

[flat fog]

@lament stone can i do w 1 d

[azure lava]

yeah, it's called spending a lot of gold or making a new character 😛

[scenic salmon]

Level 20 shouldn't be too bad

[flat fog]

@lament stone ?

[normal ibex]

dude...

[lament stone]

probably not

[azure lava]

[rose cairn]

If u buy armor like nightfall armour pack from the shop, Do u keep it on all slots? (Cosmetics)

[shut abyss]

atleast the one i bought is split between pieces

[rose cairn]

wdym

[shut abyss]

gloves,helmet,body, etc

[signal ore]

Do I sell items I don't need?

[rose cairn]

its a cosmetic right?

[rose cairn]

and u have it on all slots?

[shut abyss]

am i misunderstanding the question or what?

[rose cairn]

yea i wanna buy that, Is it cosmetic?

[shut abyss]

it is cosmetic yes

[rose cairn]

and i can never lose it?

[shut abyss]

sell,salvage,disenchant or leave on the ground depending on what you need

[wild kiln]

never, it's yours

[rose cairn]

okay ty

[meager flower]

I am so tired of my character screaming NEED MORE MANA. What can I do to fix that issue at low levels (under 40) besides clarity and a good mana pot which is always empty anyway

[rose cairn]

bigger mana pots?

[shut abyss]

turn off the sounds

[azure lava]

This guide includes what I recommend doing with extra junk items

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

[meager flower]

Are there any low level uniques or... anything really that can decrease the mana cost, or significantly increase mana regen?

[ivory merlin]

Doesn’t need to be uniques you can find rares that do exactly that

[iron jetty]

whats the easiest cheesiest an cheapest class? stormweaver or gemling or is there an underrated one?

[lament grail]

try get mana on kill or other stats that give you mana, i run a bonestorm bloodwitch and the mana drain is crazy i get 3 shot before im empty with mana on kill i dont run out when killing mobs gotta spam pots for bosses tho, tbf they genrelly die in a few hits unless im doing endgame bosses i.e breach

[meager flower]

Ok, this is actually great info

[lament grail]

one thing youll find is there is genrelly a stat for everything u need, you can use the trade site to see what affixes can be on what parts and find which are the best for your build so you can start saving that type when it drops, the gear is the biggest learning curve once you understand it the game becomes pretty easyy

[real glade]

Is rapid fire viable? Looks fun having a machine gun

[azure lava]

Idk about uniques, but You can get mana nodes, max mana, run clarity on a spirit gem, or use inspiration support.

[azure lava]

Anything can beat the campaign if you build around it properly

[lament grail]

they can also get a node from the passive on a necklace if they have access to the currency exchange

[azure lava]

All classes have easy and cheesy builds. Any class can use https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1326972100409426081 and wreck the campaign

[steady jackal]

does anyone want to carry my new character trough the campaign

[restive turret]

Are there some classes that make progression easier/harder or all of them equally balanced in progression?

[lament stone]

not really

any class can use any skill

[wooden crane]

How do you put up your own gear up for trade?

[lament stone]

all classes can use lightning rod + orb of storms for the entire campaign

[lament grail]

newer players will have a harder time with melee, using ranged is easier

[restive turret]

Oh so I can like make a sorcerer that dabbles in battleaxes and such?

[lament stone]

yes (altho axes arent in the game yet)

[restive turret]

Very well, ty

[lament stone]

im pretty sure there is a sorc build rn that uses maces

hammer of the gods on chronomancer

[restive turret]

Am I able to change my builds later on in the game if I dont like them/want to optimize them or do I make a new character for that

[lament stone]

the only things you cant change are your class and your ascendancy choice

[lament grail]

kinda, you cant change yyour ascendency but you can change everything els

[restive turret]

Are ascendency-s important to the build of the char or?

[lament stone]

so once you have a titan that character will always be a titan, but you can respec your entire tree, change all your gear and skills and everything else

[distant cape]

not begging i just want to know how much a powerlevel usally costs in exalted sorry if this is not allowed

[lament stone]

ascendancies are pretty powerful parts of a build

but none of the ascendancies are specific to any weapon type

[lament grail]

again kinda they buff the builds or give extra tools

[restive turret]

I see, so before using them I should search what they do

[lament stone]

so once you have a deadeye you can make any skill that uses projectiles work on it

[lament grail]

theres only 2 for each class atm so it not too hard of a choise,

[keen jolt]

You do it in-game. You need a premium stash tab to be able to sell anything.

Simply set the item cost in the game to something like x1 Exalt and it will show up on the trade site.

[wooden crane]

I have one but dont see sell option

[lament grail]

you need to click the box to make it public, go into the tabs settings there should be an option there

[wooden crane]

Ooh

[true radish]

hi, where do i find this other half

[lament grail]

one of the areas before the shrine, i think its just before the shrine is the one ur missing,, it drops from the mobs

[heavy solar]

Man, dealing with people on the trade website is painful

[restive turret]

If I'm good at dodging should I just not spec everything into pure dmg and spells with the sorceress or will that backfire

[lament grail]

yeah it can be lol

[shut abyss]

you got the three zones two of them drop relics and thid one has the statue where you put the relics in

[lament grail]

im squishyy as hell xD but i have energy shield and over health to keep me alive, jsut make sure your elemental resistances are as high as possible

[shut abyss]

The Kabala Clan Relic can be found in Keth, while the Sun Clan Relic can be found in The Bone Pits.

[shut abyss]

they can't hurt you if they dead and you will build ES and resistances and life anyway on your gear so you're not truly without defense

[lament grail]

try focus gear that has multiple resistences like 20% fire 20% electric 20% cold once you get later into the game u can trade and get great gear

[shut abyss]

yeah the three suffixes on gear are usually 2 resist and one trash

[boreal hedge]

Finished the campaign🥲 onto the chaos trial then cruel

[heavy summit]

guys i have already kill that boss. but map do not render it.
its a know bug?

[shut abyss]

it is

[heavy summit]

any solution?

[shut abyss]

ignore it

[jovial phoenix]

is it possible to upgrade the chaos bolt skill that is on my wand from level 2 to level 7?

[shut abyss]

yes, get a new wand.

[jovial phoenix]

oh ok

but theres no way to keep the passives?

[haughty niche]

No thenew wand will have new affixes

[jovial phoenix]

oh ok cool

[shut abyss]

remember to save your supports before you sell your old wand

[jovial phoenix]

ok ty

also is there a way to hide your helmet?

[keen jolt]

pretty sure the support gems automatically go to your inventory? Correct me if im wrong

[shut abyss]

you're wrong(or maybe the fixed it)

[woeful palm]

I have a question in league do you have the time to do end game even if u donnt play a lots ?

[keen jolt]

I guess I must've always equipped the new item before selling the old one every time

[true radish]

can you change the socketed rune on corrupted item?

[haughty niche]

No, unless theres some mtx for it.

[keen jolt]

u can probably speedrun the game faster and faster every time u do it

think the fastest in PoE2 was like 6 hours to reach endgame but u have to know exactly what ure doing

[jovial phoenix]

dam ok 😭

[keen jolt]

Like skip all the unnecessary bosses and focus on doing the main quest and so on

[haughty niche]

In poe1 the campaign only takes me 10 hours on a fresh character while interacting with the new mechanic most of the way through and taking a lot of breaks

[meager galleon]

and ppl who actually try to go fast can do the poe1 campaign in like 6-8h

[haughty niche]

So you have plenty of time when the leagues last 4 months.
I pray the current league's duration is just really terrible planning/allocation on ggg's part

[boreal hedge]

How long does cruel usually take? Just reached it and I'm eager to hit endgame

I've heard it's easier than normal

[haughty niche]

Much faster

[fathom abyss]

Im starting my 3rd character and I'm hating doing this again

[old jetty]

yeah its annoying doing the acts again

[compact arch]

Doing trial of chaos for the first time, is it normal for the corpses to disappear after a few seconds?

[hard mesa]

Anyone know if you can play POE 2 on a MacBook?

[fathom abyss]

Yes

[hard mesa]

I’m buying a new laptop for work but I want one that I can possibly play POE on when I get bored lol

[fathom abyss]

I miss being OP 😂

[compact arch]

That's unfortunate... Currently getting 90% of my damage from exploding corpses...

[old jetty]

what you building

[haughty niche]

I usually only run through campaign twice a league in poe1.

First character, second character on twink build that takes 4 hours, andthen any other builds i do i respec ascendency and pick a different one on the same starting class and fully respec passives etc.

Poe2 NEEDS to add back the option to respec ascendency choice, currently you cant and its bullshit. Going to lead to me not playing nearly as much

[fathom abyss]

Monk

[old jetty]

tempest bell monk

[wooden crane]

How do you set it to poe2 there no option i see

[fathom abyss]

I have a storm weaver with 100k Dps without buff, I miss 1 tapping everything

[haughty niche]

Click on it from the poe2 website

[old jetty]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard

[haughty niche]

Or change url to have /trade2/ in it

I just bookmarked it personally

[wooden crane]

Oops

My bad

[meager galleon]

poe2.sale also works

[old jetty]

yeah im playing stat stacking gemling so fun

[celest cradle]

Am I missing something.. some of my skills show a crital damage bonus.. but then others(like Hexblast) don't. Do Chaos spells not crit or something? Trying to understand! Thanks for the help!

[hard mesa]

That’s an expensive build for sure

[old jetty]

if i add the belt and amulet otherwise its not that expensive

[fathom abyss]

Ooh very nice, How much does the build cost

[hard mesa]

My buddy I play with got the belt and it changed his build so much he deletes the entire screen on super juiced t15’s now

[fathom abyss]

You don't even want to know how much my build cost lol

[old jetty]

i think its 50 ex and 1 div

atm

[hard mesa]

I’m up to about 20 divines spent on my Cast on shock Deadeye

[fathom abyss]

Mine is ridiculously expensive

[shut abyss]

thats alot of divines!

[hard mesa]

Yeah and I’m not even done yet lol

[old jetty]

500 div

[runic palm]

What is the 73% symbol?

[fathom abyss]

1 of the rings i use cost 97 Divine

[hard mesa]

Holy crap hahahahahaha

[fathom abyss]

Atm I at around 360 div

[old jetty]

put your mouse over it and it should say

[runic palm]

it dosnt :(

[hard mesa]

What method did you use to make that many divines lol

[fathom abyss]

Buy and sell, Crafting and luck

[old jetty]

how do you even sell nothing of mine has ever been requested

[fathom abyss]

I sold a wand for 11 div yesterday

[old jetty]

must of been a nice wardrobe

[fathom abyss]

Oh yeah, Super nice 😂

[cunning crescent]

why does ghost dance doesn't have any addtional effect from quality?

is it a bug?

[glacial palm]

Nope. Could be intentional, could be not implemented.

[old jetty]

astramentis stellar amulet have you come across this

[haughty niche]

Astramentis is a giga-rare. Dont plan on getting one

[fathom abyss]

Not yet

Im going to orb of chance it for it lol

[maiden cloak]

anyone know if the freythron king drops the plus 30 spirit skull in Gruel difficulty?

[trim turret]

Any skill that hits should be able to crit unless it states otherwise or has no inherent crit chance. Does it have multiple tabs to click on? Some skills have multiple components and you have to hold alt and click on them to see their info.

[trim turret]

He does not. You get your last 40 in act 3 cruel.

[maiden cloak]

thanks, meant cruel not gruel lol

although gruel sounds like a cool difficulty

[trim turret]

Gruel is my wife's cooking, amirite?

[maiden cloak]

haha

[jovial ferry]

the mobs are lvl 40 and im lvl 34 how do i fix that cuz i deal very little dmg to them

[haughty niche]

go back a few areas

you likely have an exp penalty applied right now

[edgy path]

+/- 3 lvl

never go above or under

[haughty niche]

at lvl 32-47 in poe1 its a safe zone of 5

[edgy path]

oh yeah it increases

my bad

[haughty niche]

idk if they changed the penalties at all but id assume its the same

within 3 is the safe bet yeah

[jovial ferry]

so i should be with mobs which are lvl 37

[edgy path]

39

max

[haughty niche]

currently you are only 1 lvl effective difference off from the safe zone so the penalty is only ~4% of xp being penalized

barely noticeable that early, but you do want to be staying roughly around the area levels. Also just makes the monsters easier with your skill/player levels

[jovial ferry]

will i get the same xp from the lvl 39 and lvl 37 ?

cuz they r so tanky

[haughty niche]

yeah

your are safe within 5 levels

so lvl 34 you could even be doing a lvl 30 zone and still be alright. Though i believe those monsters just reward less xp cause lower lvl to begin with

[tranquil wyvern]

is there anybody help me for sekhemas second?

[jovial ferry]

i iwll just follow the same lvl so im lvl 34 i will go to mobs lvl 34

[haughty niche]

be sure to keep updating your weapon

if mobs feel tanky thats usually the cause

check vendors in town every lvlup

[glacial palm]

Sure, what questions did you have?

[tranquil wyvern]

like help to complete trial

[glacial palm]

If you wanted help like information, happy to help!

If you wanted someone to join and help you kill things, try global chat or #2┃looking-for-group

[tranquil wyvern]

ok

[jaunty cargo]

if you put Pierce on Lightning arrow can the beam chaining happen twice on two different targets?(the target first hit and the 2nd target hit bh it after it pierced the first target)

[haughty niche]

I don't actually know if the beam is considered a chain or not, but im assuming since it uses the keyword chain that it is.
Whenever a projectile collides, it will attempt each of its remaining behaviors,[5] prioritized in this order: Split, Pierce, Fork, Chain, Return. Only a single behaviour can occur per collision.

[jaunty cargo]

oh

[glacial palm]

I think it's more "when the lightning arrow projectile itself pierces, will it fire a beam from the first enemy?"

Which I think is yes, but I wasn't sure enough to answer 😅

[jaunty cargo]

didn't think pierce was sharing a behaviour on contact with those you named

learned smth new

[glacial palm]

I know stormcaller will not embed in the first enemy it hits, but have not tried lightning arrow for that.

[jaunty cargo]

so it depends what the beams from Lightning arrow are classified as - a normal chain or a special case

[haughty niche]

I think nascosta is correct, that it should still launch a beam with how the skill works

idk if the beams are considered projectiles or not cause then the peirce part would limit their ability to chain

[jaunty cargo]

ah damn

the problem thickens..

even if it's uncertain that was really helpful ty lads

[gloomy juniper]

Is it just me or does poe trade site sometimes just start lagging really badly

wait is the trade site down?

[gloomy juniper]

yea i finally jsut saw it

[wet viper]

Do anyone know why cruel difficulty is so lag?

[haughty niche]

are you in a party? Did you try recreating the area instance? try a different gateway?

[wet viper]

I'm in the first area of cruel difficulty, no party...

Can't even reach the first town...

[haughty niche]

oh that sucks. Probably the instance is going to shit.

Usually you can ctrl+click the area enterance / waypoint and create a new one

If you get off the character for 15 minutes the instance will be forced to reset. Might fix it if the lag is really bad

[eternal idol]

anyone selling ascendancies boosts?

[desert sedge]

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

[ripe basalt]

is the poe site down?

[frank breach]

Is there a way to move the enlarged minimap to see parts that are off screen

[hard mesa]

Use the arrow keys when you have it up

[frank breach]

i’m on controller

[hard mesa]

I’m afraid I cannot answer that then lol

[old jetty]

d pad maybe

[mild quiver]

does chaining mean it goes from enemy to enemy?

[frank breach]

Dpad is for skills and items

[old jetty]

are you talking aout while your in a area and have map opend

[frank breach]

My guess is it’s a combination of buttons

[frank breach]

Yeah

[old jetty]

you have to go to a checkpoint

[frank breach]

No not that map

The one you get when you use the map skill

Ie it moves the minimap to the center of your screen and makes it bigger

[old jetty]

this map

[frank breach]

Yeah

[old jetty]

you can go to a check point and move it around

[frank breach]

You need to go to a checkpoint to move your map?

That is beyond dumb

[mild quiver]

How do specific element builds play around bosses that resist said element?

[haughty niche]

exposure or penetration usually

[wooden crane]

Do u have to use orb of chance on a specific normal?

[old jetty]

pretty sure you need gear with light radius to help

[haughty niche]

if a boss has 70% fire res you can pretty easily lower that by like 60+ with a curse or exposure and pen the rest etc

Getting light radius is a worthless stat

[devout oriole]

Rush

[haughty niche]

it does help things appear on minimap more but its ass

[mild quiver]

Out of context this is wild

[haughty niche]

not the channel to post stuff like that in

[old jetty]

thats what i think

[haughty niche]

depends on the ilvl req/base of what you are trying to chance i believe

[real glade]

Plasma blast looks cool.. is it any good? :/

[frank breach]

I’m trying to find an objective for a quest would the checkpoint minimap help with that?

[haughty niche]

@frank breach you can just press arrow keys to move map

[haughty niche]

the chargeup is prohibitively long, and the large blast only occurs on collision with terrain iirc. Useable, but clunky.

[frank breach]

No i cannot because I’m using a controller for asccessability reasons

[wooden crane]

Trying for hand of wisdom and action

[trim turret]

Like most things, if you build for it.

[haughty niche]

oh, you could probably switch in settings if you really need to otherwise idk how to do it on controller

[haughty niche]

i dont think you can even chance that

its a boss drop

[frank breach]

And they straight up removed hotkeys from they keyboard while you have a controller active for reasons beyond me

[wooden crane]

Ah okay

[frank breach]

Some functions just don’t exist on controller from what i’ve been able to figure out

[haughty niche]

in the options theres a button that swaps control schemes from controller to kb and vice versa

[midnight bough]

am i missing something? everytime i travel back in time and visa versa, have to do first boss again.

[frank breach]

That only works if you go to character select

[wet viper]

an update for this issue, I have tried teleport to town, its does work but when I tried enter other (even the first clearfell map), the lag continue, its happen only to the character that have reached cruel difficulty (I have 2 character)

[haughty niche]

oh strange. I guess thats just for swappign between wasd/clicktomove

[normal ibex]

they exist differently, however you can use the mouse for many things unless you cannot use the mouse

[haughty niche]

thats just a bad instance

wait 15 minutes if you can't ctrl+click the area enterance cause of it being first act 1 area

[normal ibex]

this eased some of my controller problems, especially on the map

[frank breach]

How do i move the map with a mouse

[normal ibex]

not sure you can move it at all, i havent actually checked if +/- on the numpad works either. Currently logged into diablo so cant check for a while

[frank breach]

+/- doesn’t work

[normal ibex]

some keyboard stuff works, i'm still leaning what does and doesnt myself

[frank breach]

I just pressed every key on my keyboard the only ones that work are f1 to show performance and f12 to take screenshots which is steam specific

Mouse works for a handful of menus

They pretty thoroughly scrubbed functionality for anyone who uses a controller

I mean if your gunna shut off every hotkey on controller the least you can do is add a way to do things that you removed

[scenic salmon]

Can you not map it in the controller

[frank breach]

Nope i checked in settings you can open the map but as far as i’ve been able to find moving it isn’t possible on controller

They removed the functionality

[fathom abyss]

I want to die, do a fresh character SUCKS

[vivid venture]

yo my ascendancy quest is glitched

in act 2 cruel

[haughty niche]

ignore it

Its not supposed to exist in cruel, and its not how you get the 3rd/4th sets of points

[vivid venture]

how do i get more ascendancy tho

[vivid venture]

oh

then how do i get it

[haughty niche]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Ascendancy_class#Ascendancy

[vivid venture]

thanks

[haughty niche]

higher lvl barya/inscribed ultimatums as random drops from monsters

Personally i didn't do 3rd set until after campaign

[gloomy juniper]

is there a reason why i cant seem to get a seller for Hand of Wisdom and Action?

[sour pebble]

You're probably messaging price fixers.

[scenic salmon]

Price fixing, bet

[gloomy juniper]

Like the same guy is constantly taking it out and putting it back on

same few names

[sour pebble]

There are people who will coordinate with their friends to populate the first few pages of a search with intentionally low prices that they have no intention of ever selling the item at. The hope is that ignorant players who get a HoWA to drop will believe those prices are the correct market price and then list theirs for it. Then these price fixers swoop in to try to buy that item.

[haughty niche]

its also probably partially due to the people that are getting those as drops being people who do breach. So they cannot respond/accept trades mid breach usually

[gloomy juniper]

yea but they NEVER respond

[gloomy juniper]

probably this then

Seems like the actual sellers are selling the gloves for 2dv and above, and all those i messaged are 1dv

[shut abyss]

yep, sounds about right

[sour pebble]

I don't see any listed for less than 2 div

Loots like market price atm is 4div

Oh i bet you're looking at corrupted ones

I had corrupted excluded

Yeah market price for corrupted is 2 div

[gloomy juniper]

I dont mind getting corrupted though

i see

i doubt there's anyway to filter out the "fakes" right

[sour pebble]

Ignore those sellers

You can tell which ones are price fixing

[lament stone]

#2┃looking-for-group

[glacial palm]

Only really reliable way is to either ignore the sellers and scroll down, or switch to live search and don't bother with the low price listings @gloomy juniper

[gloomy juniper]

I mean I'm still relatively new so idk if i can tell if idk the price prior haha, but at least for this one i do now

[jaunty gust]

Oh sorry !

[delicate geode]

anyone on console who can tell me how use the 2nd weapon set passive tree, im trying to opt in some curse nodes on my second weapon set but not sure how

[glacial palm]

You must have passive nodes to spend into your weapon sets.

If you don't have any passive points, you can't split them between your weapons.

[delicate geode]

ive got 6 now but not sure how to spend them

[glacial palm]

On PC we click the button next to each weapon set, then allocate the points.

Would try to look for something similar 🙂

Just to be clear, you have 6 points up here?

Not just next to the weapon set.

[delicate geode]

oh no i i ahve next to the weapon sets

[glacial palm]

Right, that's more what I'm trying to get at.

Those numbers next to the weapon sets are how many points you are allowed to split between weapons.

You still have to actually have the skill points (the top number) to split them.

[delicate geode]

so if i want to split 1 skill point to my 2nd weapon set i cant go further on my 1st weapon set?

[clever geode]

u can

[sonic bluff]

i got a qeustion. in the trial when u have the negative stats monster hits take 5% of evrything does poison do the same. because i got poison once lost all my health instantly running on 500 health 5k energie shield and also 1k mana

[glacial palm]

Think of it like literally cutting the skill point in half @delicate geode

[sonic bluff]

kinda tilted

[lament stone]

weapon set points are not extra points, you need to have regular points available to be able to use your weapon set points

[clever geode]

it allows u to allocate 1 sp in 2 different spot

[glacial palm]

You take one skill point, split it in half, and spend one half on each weapon set.

[delicate geode]

i think im just hella confused by the console ui lmao

[glacial palm]

Honestly, the weapon set points are a common point of confusion for people. I wouldn't be too worried

[robust hill]

good thing u can just ignore em

[delicate geode]

if i branch out with the weapon set 2 it spends the skill point and it wont let me use that skill point to go further on the main branch of my weapon set 1

[robust hill]

u can expand the same amount on both is the idea

[glacial palm]

Dunno, pretty common to optimize a build with two weapon sets in this game 😦

[robust hill]

so if u use 12 points for a weapon set u use 12 sets for the other

[robust hill]

only few niche cases where it helps

like curse effect / curse stuff

[delicate geode]

oh i just cant go to this jewel node

[glacial palm]

Like curse effect, skill effect duration, sigil of power for casters, shield swaps for survivability... like I'm not going to make a list 😅

It's a pretty strong mechanic that builds take advantage of.

[lament stone]

jewel sockets and keystones cant be allocated using weapon set points

[sullen quarry]

anyone know if there will be stash sale this weekend?

[delicate geode]

makes sense

[delicate geode]

think i understand it now thank yall

[haughty niche]

This is only an estimate ^ but its almost always correct

[sullen quarry]

thank you!

[glacial palm]

Nah. Could try global chat, #2┃looking-for-group or a discord like TFT but odds are somebody wants to get paid for the carry.

[vivid venture]

sorry

[coarse elk]

Is it possible to filter "requires level" on the trade site?

[fierce panther]

this is the 5th character ive leveled past act 1 and this is the first time I got all three ritual altars in Freythorn right next to each other like this....is this a bug? lol, im not upset but its so odd

[waxen osprey]

i try the meta gem "barrier summoning": it loads the linked comets energy to 100% and then doesn't cast it - is there something I'm missing?

[near flax]

Does completing simulacrum count if you're in a party and not the party leader? I don't think I can do it solo with this character lol

[frank breach]
