[glacial palm]

But yeah, this will not affect your choice.

[golden bay]

i cannot get my ascendancy unless someone gives me a baraya

[glacial palm]

You may ascend to any warrior ascendancy.

[haughty niche]

the ascendency choice is permanent currently. But you don't pick an ascendency on character creation.

[azure lava]

Can you access the trial of the sekhema zone?

[chilly geyser]

@haughty niche ahh ok got it thanks

[haughty niche]

If you want titan, then warrior can pick titan later

[golden bay]

no

[somber coral]

You can ascend around lvl 27~

[chilly geyser]

Yeah I will choose Titan than thanks\

[azure lava]

I think you're fucked until they patch it then. I've heard of someone else who lost their barya and they couldn't access the trial even with someone else's portal.

No cap, I'd make a new char

[golden bay]

i just need someone to trade me a normal baraya

[azure lava]

It won't work because you can't get to the trial zone to use it

[golden bay]

you dont need to use it to get to the area

[glacial palm]

You just said you can't get there.

If you can't now, then getting a normal barya will not fix it.

[azure lava]

The zone gets unlocked when you pick up the quest djinn barya

[golden bay]

if i have one it allows me to go to the area

i dont think it has to be the quest one

[azure lava]

Well you can try that I suppose

But I'm not hopeful

Pathofexile.com/trade2

To buy one

[glacial palm]

I mean, I know the quest trigger for chaos works when I pick up a normal ultimatum.

Never tried a barya though.

Will give it a try when I get on tonight

Who originally gives the quest to go to traitor's passage.

Asala, right?

[golden bay]

it works when i have a normal one

[plush mantle]

yes, Asala via rescuing Riku(?) from the quarry

[glacial palm]

Ah, too late then.

Was going to recommend talking to Asala and seeing if they had a quest dialogue option to get the quest item back 😦

[azure lava]

Risu, you kingdom hearts nerd

[glacial palm]

Oh, I was thinking Rikku from ffx lol

[plush mantle]

FFX nerd, thank you 😛

I was pretty sure the K was wrong, but couldn't look up her name easily

[split prairie]

Sorry for the late reply. At a theater production for my son. How do I get the orb gem? It doesn't appear in any of my skill or support lists.

[haughty niche]

uncut skill gems can be used to get the skill from any class

[split prairie]

I thought so too but I can't find it any of the lists.

[haughty niche]

by default it puts you on the page they arbitrarily decided is for that class.
You might need to disable a setting in options somewhere if it doesn't let you pick it

idk console UI, but on pc the sidebar of the uncut gem selection screen lists out the other pages

Orb of storms is a spell, usually its pretty bad to use both spells and attacks as they scale very differently. But Orb of Storms has ridiculous interaction with Lightning Rod so it makes it worth it.

[split prairie]

That's what I'm going after. I'm on PC but using controller so it's hard to navigate things.

I'll check settings when I get home and see if there's an option I need to enable

[haughty niche]

I know theres one setting that greys out skills you cannot use due to attribute or weapon reqs

[split prairie]

It's the skills panel correct? Not the one based on weapon ?

[brisk kindle]

Hi everyone, i just finished act 3 .. what is cruel mode? is it just the same but more difficult?

[haughty niche]

you need uncut gems to select new skills

[haughty niche]

They have not finished acts 4-6 yet. So they make you play through acts 1-3 again on a higher difficulty (cruel is temporary and will be removed once the other acts are done).

[split prairie]

Right I know that. There's uncut skill, uncut support and uncut spirit ones I've run into so far.

[brisk kindle]

Ahh i see.. thank you

[haughty niche]

ye, orb of storms should be an uncut skillgem

[split prairie]

Okay. It doesn't show up so maybe I'll look more into it. I almost wondered if I needed to roll a character of the appropriate class to unlock it and stash tab it

[brisk kindle]

did you bother with cruel mode @haughty niche or would you suggest starting a new character?

[neat tendon]

Hey friends! Please correct if its the wron gplace to ask this. New here, bought the early access, and later on, bought a support pack, it said the support pack also comes with an early access key, is that correct? My girlfriend wants to play now and I never received a second early access key.

[haughty niche]

There is an endgame after cruel. Completely new experience. Though imo its super poorly balanced atm and made me stop playing. I think people who never touched poe1 would like it regardless probably

[craggy gyro]

does anyone have iron runes they can slide.

[brisk kindle]

Got it thanks

[haughty niche]

Acts 1-3 are probably the best experience in poe2 currently. Cruel is kind of like a victory lap where you crush everything, then endgame is alright but has soo many issues

[brisk kindle]

i think i will just try a different character , i used a monk first time might try something ranged

[azure lava]

Trading, begging, and giving handouts are not allowed on this server, sorry

[mental ferry]

can anyone help me with count geonor? Been stuck for a while now.

[glacial palm]

Sure. What questions did you have about the fight?

[honest raft]

during the first fight with jamanra where he flees, is that based on a health trigger? is it possible to kill him before he flees

[glacial palm]

As far as I know, the second phase is going to happen.

[meager flower]

Does anyone have any sheet or documentation regarding what are the corruption outcomes for rings?

[glacial palm]

So yeah, health trigger and temp immunity.

[steady socket]

is there a way to increase quality on belt?

[bronze sand]

Probably dumb question, but should I save my blacksmith’s whetstone?

[meager flower]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/List_of_item_corruption_enchantment_modifiers#Jewellery

[haughty relic]

How does one get the elemental storm skill? I can't find it in game

[nimble fjord]

yes

[honest raft]

when can i start acquiring jewel sockets?

[nimble fjord]

whats the real price of white saphire rings? 15 ex in trade chat

[steady socket]

where can i anoint my amulet

[glacial palm]

We don't do price checks, but personally I've not had much luck selling at 20. 15 seems to move pretty quick.

[glacial palm]

Right click any distilled emotion in your inventory, will open the anoint menu.
Just in case though, this is #2┃after-acts-help kind of talk.

[steady socket]

i lost my amulet and distiled ires

what should i do

[split prairie]

Thanks everyone for your feedback on helping me earlier. Sorry my responses were hit or miss. I have just one last question. If I wanted to go for the gear that is in the twink build guide, do I need to farm for it at the level the gear is, or can I farm it at a higher level and still get it to drop?

[brittle wraith]

@glacial palm I saw that

[glacial palm]

Farming the gear later would kind of delete the purpose of twink gear.

[ancient walrus]

the comet spell for sorceress says "+1 second to total cast time" does that mean if i equip the spell it adds 1 cast time to all my spells?

[glacial palm]

Yes, you would need to in order to react to it 🤔

[split prairie]

For another character

[ancient walrus]

or is it just +1 second to comet

[brittle wraith]

I can close my eyes and shoot out react images

[glacial palm]

Oh, in that case yes. You can farm the gear on another character to send to your alt.

[trim turret]

Just for comet.

[split prairie]

okay, just wasn't sure if it was possible for it to drop on higher level characters. Sounded like when I was reading that you needed to farm it on a character the level of the gear you are trying to get.

Thank you

[ancient walrus]

ty

[halcyon pumice]

is there a downside to vaaling a unique? cant it brick.

[glacial palm]

Oh yeah, nothing to worry about there.
For example you can see these are ilvl 79, but the requirement is still 33. That's going to be dependent on the unique

[ancient walrus]

wdym? can u not get a downgrade from vaaling uniques?

[wooden crane]

What are some sort after stats for weapons im guessing physical damage and lighting damage be up there

[glacial palm]

Not dug into it in poe2, but you lose some of the edit options (in particular, the chaos option)

But yeah, you can absolutely still harm a unique by vaaling it if the rolls are decent.

[halcyon pumice]

That's what I was asking

in poe2., can it brick

[glacial palm]

"Brick" is a vague term, but imo yes.

It can be downgraded and locked in because it's corrupted, to the point where you wouldn't want to use the item anymore.

Not as badly as rares can get screwed by vaal, but still bad outcomes.

[halcyon pumice]

"downgraded"?

[glacial palm]

You can still see the option where the numeric values on the item are rerolled.

[halcyon pumice]

Oh the tier can be reduced, the roll range.

Right ok

[glacial palm]

Imagine you have a 250% widow, and it gets rolled and locked into a 100 or whatever.

You have absolutely bricked that item.

[halcyon pumice]

Was thinking of vaaling a Ghostwrithe

it has 2 fixed values. Those can be reduced?

[glacial palm]

Not that I know of.
Would recommend https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Corrupted#Unique_equipment as a definite reference.

Just to cover all the possible outcomes.

[halcyon pumice]

Interesting. thx. It doesnt specify but it reads like "Yes"

[glacial palm]

Well, a div only rolls numeric values with ranges to roll in.

Would be easy to double check though @halcyon pumice
Search trade for a ghostwrithe with less than 100 max ES, then check for more than 100 max ES

If none exist, odds are good that cannot be changed via corruption.

Or 50 on the life conversion modifier, would be a good one to check.

[halcyon pumice]

confirmed

[glacial palm]

So looks like the multiplier applies to the non-rolled values, so yeah. Expect anything on your item to roll.

Not too surprised, it is vaal after all 😅

[errant skiff]

Newbie question: Does Shattering Concoction level up on its own?

[glacial palm]

Fair question, and yes. I'm assuming that's one of the pathfinder ascendancy options.

[errant skiff]

Yes

[glacial palm]

Ascendancy skills will level up and gain slots as you level your character.

[errant skiff]

Ok, that makes me feel better. I thought I had done something wrong lol

[glacial palm]

Just don't ask me how to upgrade the quality on them.

[tepid shadow]

Yoooo anyone down to help out n play the game

[glacial palm]

I imagine a lot of people in global chat, and in #2┃looking-for-group hopefully.

[grand pilot]

Hey sry if this question is dumb....but i was watching a video on the bog witch...and they had like 5 gems that had 3 support gems...how do u get that many support gem slots in act 3

[glacial palm]

You can buy them. Shouldn't be necessary but you can.

Most people do get a few of the jeweler orb drops, but even just 1 exalt will get you more than you will probably need for a while.

[grand pilot]

How do u buy support gem slots...like on a trading website

[glacial palm]

You would buy the lesser jeweller's orb item.

This allows you to add a socket to a gem that only has 2 sockets.

[grand pilot]

So there is no way to get that many in game while in act 3......that almost sounds like pay to win....im sure i could alot more dmg if 5 of my gems had 3slots..

Just dont feel rt

[glacial palm]

I mean, it's not pay to win as you can both get these via drop or trade for them from other players.

There is no way to purchase it with cash from the game.

[grand pilot]

I guess that makes sense...no cash...

[dull crow]

arpgs in general normally are no pay to win

the ones that are pay to win are either bad or mobile

[glacial palm]

If you had no luck to get these then you have the option to trade with other players, but it also should not be necessary.
The game will be balanced around the idea that you are not trading with other players to complete the campaign in most cases.

[grand pilot]

Just out of curiosity....how many extra support slots did ppl have in act 3......i still only have 2 for each one

[glacial palm]

I can't remember act 3 for this character, but my other characters all have two support slots currently.

[grand pilot]

Thats why i thought it was weird that they had 5 slots with 3...any way sry for the dumb question...this is my first arpg....i thought i was missing something..lol

[glacial palm]

Nothing to worry about, never a dumb question if you're asking to learn 🙂

I will say that I do remember getting some drops on this character, so it might be that I spent more time killing than you did in the areas or simply some bad luck.

That does come with the genre though 😅

[grand pilot]

No doubt...my rng is not the greatest...lol

[frank frigate]

hey guys im fighting doryani and most of his attacks ignore my ES and just hit my health, is there a way to avoid this coz i have an ES focused build and very little health. Thanks :)

[glacial palm]

I'm not aware of doryani having any bypass damage 🤔

Do you have something equipped that allows damage to bypass your ES, like Atziri's Disdain (helmet) perhaps?

[grand pilot]

Hey real quick....is there a poe2 website...where i can figure out a path for my passive points...i think i might of made a couple mistakes with the passive tree....now i have 10 points saved up..and was looking for the best ice monk path

[glacial palm]

Sounds like you might be looking for a build guide, personally don't know many websites on that but hear Maxroll and Mobalytics thrown out as options.

If you're actually looking for a planner or something, Path of Building is commonly recommended and in the #other-news (but it's a program you download)

There is a web one at https://poe2db.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/

[halcyon pumice]

errrrrr why cant i migrate from ssf? Is that intended..

and/or do we konw when they will add it

[haughty niche]

I think its a top priority thing they are working on. They disabled the button for it early on in the beta due to it causing some account bug

[tiny scroll]

nice. i forgot to juice my tablet 😦

[glacial palm]

Common thing to do as a new player in #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help 😉

[haughty niche]

Speaking of tablets though, consider using #2┃after-acts-help for poe2 post-campaign stuff

[vague hollow]

does anyone have experience with ice strike invoker? i see builds using either rare quarterstaves or pillar of the caged god

anyone able to give me a quick list of pros/cons of the two setups?

(i'm new so no funding)

i'd ask in the invoker thread but it's full, can't comment there :(

[tardy maple]

anyone willing to carry me through Djinn Barya level 54? I got 75% honour resistance relics loaded in if that helps

[scenic seal]

im a flicker strike monk, should my quarterstaff be physical damage or lightning damage?

[haughty niche]

Pillar of the Caged God setup is attribute stacking (str/dex/int).
This is genreally very expensive in poe. Also it relies on the Hand of Wisdom and Action gloves to get majority of its damage alongside the staff. Probably a lot more endgame focused after you have farmed currency to afford the gear.

I haven't played monk yet so can't tell you exactly how they feel etc, just that the gear itself for it would be more expensive on the attribute stacker

[vague hollow]

gotcha, thank you

[haughty niche]

I think that moreso depends how you are intending to scale your damage rather than the skill itself. Since the skill doesn't have any innate conversion or anything

[scenic seal]

dps goes up with pysical damage but idk if in the end lightning is better

[haughty niche]

Phys you might need to end up fitting in some armour break skill. Whereas lightning would go pen or exposure

[vague hollow]

do ignites/chills/shocks work the same way as in poe1, where even 1 flat dmg is enough to cause a minor ailment?

for the tempest bell triple element stuff, do i need to hit a certain threshold of flat damage of each type, or is just a tiny amount enough?

[haughty niche]

im pretty sure that is the case? Haven't really messed with it though

[vague hollow]

oky

[haughty niche]

dont know about bell

[vague hollow]

does anyone know how content scales for a party vs solo?

does monster HP go up? EXP shared? anything like that?

[plush mantle]

enemies have elemental ailment threshold, so tiny amounts of damage will cause a 0% ailment and that won't count as applying

[vague hollow]

ahh

so for an ice strike build where i'm using herald of ice+lightning, i'd likely try to lean into flat fire damage on rings to make sure i can ignite?

[tired dagger]

is killing the devourer required?

[plush mantle]

ignite tooltip:

[vague hollow]

ahh

wait so it's no longer tied to crits?

[dusky burrow]

correct

for pillar stat stacking specifically i know you should get some flat fire on rings to ignite the bell

[vague hollow]

so i guess the reason you can get away with pretty marginal flat damage is because you're igniting the bell rather than a super tanky mob?

[dusky burrow]

for other builds, that don't have pillar to make flat so good, i'm not sure if that's enough to ignite

[vague hollow]

also really stupid question, ami supposed to hit the bell or the monster LOL

[plush mantle]

don't think so, although it is your first support gem as a reward

[bitter fulcrum]

I believe a party adds extra hp on enemies. I think xp is shared, it might scale though based on level. I am doing couch coop so we are the same lvl. If you die you lose some xp. Gold is divided evenly.

[plush mantle]

I try to hit both 🙂

[dusky burrow]

your skills have aoe, you put the bell on top of them and it's pretty easy to hit both

if they move it's annoying

[vague hollow]

yeah i was wondering for the case where i drop a bell then the boss moves the other way

sometimes i end up standing between them and the bell sorta

[vague hollow]

oh, so doesn't matter who picks up the gold

got it

[dusky burrow]

"tempest bell ailment threshold [18,6357]" found this on poe2db

[plush mantle]

more that gold is individual, you both have to pick it up

[vague hollow]

oh

[vague hollow]

wait is this 18k or 186k

[dusky burrow]

yeah i'm not sure

[vague hollow]

i wonder if it scales with the tempest be ll level too

otherwise it sounds much harder to proc ailment on it at low lvs

[dusky burrow]

it shouldnt be 186k or it'd be way too hard to ignite

[vague hollow]

i guess tbh i can just watch for it visually

[dusky burrow]

it's quite clear, yeah

[vague hollow]

last question (for the next 2 minutes) - what is skill speed?

is that separate from attack speed and cast speed?

[plush mantle]

could be a range 18 at level 1 and 6357 at 40

[vague hollow]

oh

you're way too smart

[plush mantle]

I'm a programmer 😉

[vague hollow]

so 1% chance to ignite per 254 fire dmg at max bell level

[plush mantle]

right, not that you'll ever see level 40

[vague hollow]

oh right

what do they typically max out at in poe2, 20-23?

dunno how gem level stuff works here

[plush mantle]

depends on the weapon/skill, but 27ish is usually possible

[dusky burrow]

"Affects the speed at which all Skills are used. Increases and reductions to Skill Speed stack additively with increases and reductions to Attack Speed, Cast Speed, Warcry Speed, and similar stats."

10% skill speed = 10% attack speed + 10% cast speed + 10% warcry speed + ...

[vague hollow]

oh interesting

unrelated but

is there no max life% on the tree anymore?

i'm searching for it but can't find any

[haughty niche]

no they removed it and forgot to give life builds any way to scale life

so life is kinda super rough

[vague hollow]

..

[dusky burrow]

there is basically none yeah

[vague hollow]

what was their rationale? cus i see plenty of ES% on the tree still

[dusky burrow]

% life was basically mandatory

[crisp quarry]

Hello all, what pieces of gear can roll dexterity?

[dusky burrow]

you have to pick up all the relevant % life clusters you find yourself close to

and they found that limiting both for designing the tree and ppl building their builds

[plush mantle]

I don't know what you're talking about, there's a 3% and a 5% max life nodes! 😉

[vague hollow]

how come they didn't apply the same logic toward ES nodes?

[plush mantle]

because ES is a defense

[dusky burrow]

es is a defence, life is baseline

i know they're both hitpool and seem similar, but that's the difference

[haughty niche]

I was playing a ranger with roughly the max amount of life i could get from gear without going out of my way to buy expensive items for it (2000-2500ish life) and it was fairly comfortable for softcore in T15 maps. Where it sucked ass was bosses would just 1shot me if i got clipped.

ES is the exact opposite too, theres somehow more es on tree than there was in poe1 and they get to scale easily into like 5k+ ES then Grimfeast persistent buff fucking doubles it.

[plush mantle]

and yes, that makes ES stupidly overpowered right now

[dusky burrow]

i think es is going to be nerfed when they make bleed and poison hurt

[haughty niche]

I think they should also probably gut Grimfeast

[vague hollow]

does that mean the meta endgame rn is CI?

[dusky burrow]

the dynamic is always that es is easy to get big numbers and hard to recover

[haughty niche]

its effectively doubling ES hitpool

[dusky burrow]

but es recovery seems rather too easy atm

[haughty niche]

grimfeast is ALSO super strong as a form of recovery

[dusky burrow]

not particularly as chaos damage no longer bypasses energy shield

it just does double damage

which really isn't that bad if you have some resist

[vague hollow]

oh what

that's interesting

[plush mantle]

and bleed does nothing if you have ES

[dusky burrow]

bleed and poison doing nothing to es was somehow supposed to be a downside to es

[verbal egret]

Any help for act 3 doryani boss?

[plush mantle]

ignite that's only damaging ailment that works on ES builds

[dusky burrow]

guess the implementation got mixed up along the way during design

one note is that es is nerfed because crafting is so weak

[haughty niche]

ATM I feel life builds don't have any natural path to withstand stray hits from bosses.
Without some special unique you aren't going to be surviving stray hits in high tier maps. Kind of dogshit. The whole endgame is poorly balanced though, I think they desperately need to tone ES down a bit and also tone down enemy attacks as well. The fact that normal boss attacks are even chunking that much is somewhat concerning.

[plush mantle]

I think bleed was supposed to always penetrate, but that just one shots CI, so someone changed it but didn't think of the implications

[haughty niche]

the lead designers were adamant that it should be penetrating as a major downside to ES, and were surprised to hear it wasn't due to how bleeds were prevented by the ES

[sturdy sedge]

a weapon has the phys dmg roll of 20-100 (aps of 1.5 for this example), if I add a 50% increased physical damage mod to it the new phys dmg roll would be 30-150 right? and the dps would go from 90 pdps to 135?

just trying to understand how its calculated

[haughty niche]

the %phys is already in affect on the top values of the item

you can tell since they become blue

[sturdy sedge]

no i know that much, but im wanting to know if its calculated how i think it is

50% applies to the the high roll and low roll we see

[haughty niche]

i assume so, but we can also check now

https://www.craftofexile.com/?game=poe2

[sturdy sedge]

im dumb, it doesnt matter if the mod is applied before or after pdps calculation its the same number either way

massive brain fog jesus, i get it now lol

[sturdy sedge]

yee this helps too, tyvm :D

[hollow plover]

Guys, someone knows how to split an currency stash in ps5?

[steel hawk]

hold x

[hollow plover]

Tksss

[oblique isle]

I got you if you still need help

[last mauve]

which would be better

i almost feel like the spell damage and spell skill level would be better but idk if its worth abandoning all the other benefits of the other wand

[oblique isle]

It just depends the first one still has 4 more mod slots so it could potentially get a really good roll compared to the second

[sand tangle]

does anyone know why when I cast conductivity, it doesn't stay on the ground anymore? It's like a blip now

[ionic folio]

Regal the first one if you can

[last mauve]

thats a good point

[sand tangle]

I think I messed up a passive

[oblique isle]

Anyone need help with anything ?

[chilly geyser]

Hey all question my bud is running the wife thru act 1 but we are not getting exp any reason why not its only us 3

[oblique isle]

Experience ?

[chilly geyser]

yes

[oblique isle]

are you and your friend a high level

[dusky burrow]

are you guys overleveld/underleveled relative to the area level

[oblique isle]

somewhat in comparison to her

[chilly geyser]

my bud is the high level we are level 3 lol

[dusky burrow]

are you in a high level area?

[chilly geyser]

act 1 normal

[oblique isle]

if your like 10 levels above it barely gives noticeable do

[dusky burrow]

if there's a big difference, a big penalty will apply

[chilly geyser]

downscaling turned off

[oblique isle]

xP

[dusky burrow]

that is a huge range

[oblique isle]

Yes

[chilly geyser]

so leave downscaling off?

[oblique isle]

Enable default level downscaling

[chilly geyser]

ok

[oblique isle]

if it is disables it gives significantly less XP but allows you to use your full power in lower arenas

If you get stuck on a boss or something then turn it off but anything else leave it on for XO

XP

[chilly geyser]

ahh Thank you

[tight radish]

is this good? i bought it froma m erchant

[crisp quarry]

Not really

[haughty niche]

During campaign your main defensive stats you are after are life and resistances

[sturdy sedge]

If im running storm wave (80% of phys converted to lightning) and take a 25% inc phys dmg node on the tree, that would only scale the remaining 20% of the dmg that isn't converted to lightning by storm wave right?

[haughty niche]

Ye conversion only uses the %increased of the resulting damagd type in poe2

[sturdy sedge]

so in this case something like 15% lightning dmg would be a better choice than 25% inc phys

since it's scaling a large number (the 80%) compared to scaling just the 20% phys

[haughty niche]

On passive tree, yes

[sturdy sedge]

sweet! :D

[scarlet ridge]

I wanted to follow a corpse explosion build guide on maxroll and it says:

"This guide assumes you are at least level 68 and have completed Act 3 Cruel, to learn more about the leveling process check out our Minion Army Leveling Guide. Do not ascend during leveling, do your trials after you have switched to Detonate Dead."
Does that mean I just completely ignore this item until level 68 and have pretty much completed the story?

[haughty niche]

Ye

Im assuming this is a bloodmage build

[scarlet ridge]

I can't seem to put it in my stash though.. is it stuck in my inventory until then? yes

[haughty niche]

You could drop it in a non-town area, but you would have to get it again later

Bloodmage is poorly designed, where the first point into that ascendency is purely negative lol

[glacial palm]

Was going to say, you could honestly still do the trials and get the points... you just wouldn't be using them 😦

[scarlet ridge]

I'd rather not risk that lol, and oh I see.. is that why builds for that recommend to wait until you can spend multiple ascendency points at once I'm imagining?

[glacial palm]

So if you're not going to use them, I guess why not do the trials at a higher level and get free.

[glacial palm]

Pretty much
iirc, blood mage is okay to start spending at 4 points.

[haughty niche]

Ye

[glacial palm]

You just don't like spending 2 alone.

[copper zenith]

So just started today, do I need to indetify all items? Does it increase the sale price or the materials gained from disenchanting?

[scarlet ridge]

It looks like the first things the points gets is adding a life cost to every spell? That definitely sounds pretty rough early on in the game lol

[haughty niche]

It increases gold price but not materials

[scarlet ridge]

Very shortly into the game you unlock an NPC that can identify everything in your inventory for free, so no harm in doing that to see if anything may have some good modifiers

you get free IDs from a character you unlock in late Act 1. The only additional material you can gain from having identified is a 6 affix rare will give an extra regal shard when disenchanted

[hearty tundra]

Since the sale is ending soon, which stash tabs should I get? I already bought the currency stash and a gem stash.

[copper zenith]

Cheers

[copper zenith]

Yeah I am working on that, at the moment still reliant of scrolls

[haughty niche]

Premium stash upgrade to sell items from via trade

[plush mantle]

premium, and save 120 points for the waystone/map stash when it comes out

[haughty niche]

Besides that not any more super necessary tabs

[hearty tundra]

alrighty

[hearty tundra]

did they say its coming out soon?

[scarlet ridge]

Is the only difference between premium and normal that you can rename and recolor it?

[haughty niche]

Ability to list items for trade

[azure lava]

premium tabs also let you publicly list items for sale

[scarlet ridge]

as someone who loves collecting uniques, the unique collection tab is necessary for me :(

[haughty niche]

You can technically also list items to trade via a forum post but thats stupid and sucks

[haughty niche]

Its pretty ass

It only holds ond of each

[tired pilot]

Hey everyone I'm new to the pie series, on Xbox, I bought some premium tabs, however when I select to go to trade website. It says your account does not have proper permissions or something along that line. I've checked every setting nothing should be blocking me, adult account.

[hearty tundra]

same haha

[plush mantle]

indirectly. It was planned for 0.1.1 but didn't make it in time

[scarlet ridge]

but i get to see number go up when i get a new one lol

[bitter fulcrum]

When you use charged staff, is that a buff that gets added to your normal Quarterstaff strike, or is it a move on its own like tempest flurry?

[dusky burrow]

its a buff

that affects all quarterstaff attacks

like tempest flurry

[tight radish]

but this is 444 evasion

compared to my jacket rn its 170 evasion

[azure lava]

evasion isn't going to help you vs a slam that does lightning damage

[tight radish]

so its useless

i thought it auto dodges attacks for u

[haughty niche]

Evasion is great -- in endgame after you already have capped your resists

[azure lava]

Evasion only works against strikes and projectiles, not area stuff like slams or explosions

[haughty niche]

Resists are more widely applicable, and simply do more.

Evasion covers less options and the amount you get while constantly swapping in and out gear in campaign isn't enough for it to make that much of a difference. Like if you can get it and still keep the same or more resists thats great but resista and max life are the main priority

In endgame you will be able to go for both capped resists and evasion without sacrificing the other

honestly evasion isn't even bad in campaign its just resists are soo much more applicable/better

most things that will kill you that are physical are big slams anyway, which are going to ignore evasion

[glacial palm]

My favorite thing to tell people too is there is no world in which you dodge every hit with evasion.

At some point you will get hit, and you need to have something for that.

[haughty niche]

thats true. PoE has evasion entropy

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Evasion#Entropy

[glacial palm]

I was pulling up the wiki to learn what atrophy was 😅

[haughty niche]

misremembered the word choice lol

[glacial palm]

Like I would not have been surprised, and it sounded like a neat mechanic (spend longer dodging, get more tired, evasion gets less effective)
Would be the same thing, ensuring that evasion remains a first line of defense rather than a last line.

[glacial palm]

Oh yeah, familiar with the entropy on evasion

you cannot trade until you have at least 1 lvl 25 character on the account. That might be preventing you?

But yeah, clear cut for once lol

but i wasnt fully sure which one would work better cuz the other one does have a good shock chance roll + the extra lightning damage

[pine vessel]

Wondering if the mobs scale or if your coop partner gets descaled a bit during coop with very large level gaps

I just started playing and my buddy is giving me a hand showing me the ropes and hes got a lot for his build and hes able to pull more weight for sure but he isnt just oneshotting everything

[vague hollow]

adds extra hp to mobs

[pine vessel]

With how far apart we are progression wise, i still seem to be able to handle on my own though

If he tabs out for a moment

[vague hollow]

cus you're doing content that's for your own lv

[chilly geyser]

hey all is the minimum level for the trade site level 25 or 20?

[vague hollow]

you'll still be able to handle it, it'll just take a bit longer to kill stuff

[haughty niche]

25

[vague hollow]

it's not scaled 1:1

[pine vessel]

It seems really well balanced though im just trying to understand

[vague hollow]

if there's 2 ppl in the party, normal mobs will have 1.5x hp not 2x

[pine vessel]

Oh i see

[vague hollow]

tho uniques will have 2x

[pine vessel]

Very cool

[vague hollow]

+50/60/80/100% for normal magic rare unique

(these are poe1 numbers, but i assume poe2 numbers are the same or similar)

[pine vessel]

do we share exp?

Or do i pull my own from my own kills

[haughty niche]

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

the exp is a bit weird. Its based on disparity between levels in the party iirc

[vague hollow]

you share exp but it's penalized by party lv gap, but

if your partner is tabbed out far from the mobs you're killing

there is no exp share, you get exp as per if you're solo iirc

not 100% confident in that, but when my partner is afk and i'm clearing a couple screens away

i don't see her gaining any exp

[pine vessel]

Thanks guys! Helped clear things up, we were both pretty curious about it

[haughty niche]

the party exp calc basically means lower levels get penalized a bit for being in a party with higher levels

```In a party, a monster that would grant 1000 experience to a single character will instead grant PartySize * 1000 experience on kill, which then is split among the party members proportional to (PlayerLevel+10)^2.71. However, the experience values that each player would get are capped at the solo experience of the monster. ````

thats the poe1 value at least

[honest raft]

guys i just reached level 25 with infernalist witch and i have 4 exalts, what are smart ways to use them?

[glacial palm]

Honestly? By not using them.

You should not really require much during the campaign 🙂

Spend your augs and transmutes, sure. Keep your exalts though.

[ebon carbon]

I decided to change builds around level 17. I had already used all my support gems and haven’t seen one since. Now I can’t really progress anymore. Is this a bug?

[honest raft]

ok

when should i start trading then

[ebon carbon]

What are exalts

[honest raft]

exalted orb

you probably have one too i got my first one pretty early

[kindred fiber]

Hi there i just finish my first ascendancy in act II but my witch is all chaos atm, do I get the chance to find fire skills later? or did I screw up my build?

[glacial palm]

Like if you are going to spend one, at least hold for one of the bigger late difficulty spikes. Like if you feel stuck in Utzaal and are missing some defenses or something.

[glacial palm]

You choose the skills by cutting gems.

If you would like some fire skills, cut gems and select the "Elemental" tab on the left for some more fire spells.

[honest raft]

my biggest issue rn is minions dying and mana running out but i can still beat most bosses without coming close to dying (my energy shield is pretty high)

[kindred fiber]

ok i must have been missing something as it just seemed to give me chaos skill the entire first act

[glacial palm]

The game should give you uncut gems, and by default (as a witch) you'll be shown the "Occult" tab

[kindred fiber]

ohhhh

[glacial palm]

Which is mostly minions and chaos skills, with some bone stuff.

[kindred fiber]

ffffffffff the tabs omg...

[honest raft]

occult skills are cool you should use them

[kindred fiber]

ive been using them most of the game its been fun but I went infernalist after reading that bloodmage bricks builds but now I see i have nothing setup for fire skills, so I suppose Ill just have to farm some uncut gems

that trial was so hard but i kinda wanna make a new char and try again, this game is amazing

[honest raft]

true

[kindred fiber]

yeah think ill just toss everything into my stash and give a nother go

[honest raft]

guys is the titan grotto supposed to be this hard?

it took me like 4 minutes to complete, almost died, ran out of mana and health flasks midway and barely did any damage

minions got wiped multiple times and my screen was bouncing around like a roller coaster

[tired forge]

OK, something is wrong with the skill calculation, I think.

[honest raft]

idk who utzaal is and im scared to know

[tired forge]

Utzaal is name of Vaal capital city

[glacial palm]

If you don't know who Utzaal is, I would also be afraid of getting stuck in them unexpectedly 😅

[tired forge]

I just faught a L83 boss with 4 million HP, and my minions killed him in about 30 seconds. I am not complaining, but this should not be possible.

[honest raft]

idk what type of minions yall own bc my arsonists keep dying

[tired forge]

My reaver skill only does about 16k damage max, which means even if the armor has liteerally been stripped to zero by my curse, it should still take my dudes at least 4 min to beat him down.

But the reavers took at most 30 secs to eat the boss.

wtf is going on here?

[tired forge]

I am running 14 reaver, 2 marksman, 2 cleric vs bosses.

[glacial palm]

Probably shouldn't be in #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help then 😉

[twilit maple]

I'm trying to kill Napautzi right now and getting one shot by a lot of attacks. Really don't know what I'm doing tbh. How can I share my build easily?

But I wouldn't be too worried, here's a video somebody shared with me of a chrono's minions doing 5mil in 16s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bbLiLNpccs

In fact, I am free, need help?

[glacial palm]

So very possible.

Trying to play solo but I appreciate the offer :) doing deadeye ranger rn

[lyric owl]

IM” Playing monk: what the FUCK is a “power charge”. I’m level 50 now and i still dont know what the fuck this unit is.

[glacial palm]

The skills tell you, Zapco. Power charges are generated by certain skills or effects.

[lyric owl]

Yeah but it doesn’t say how i get them

[glacial palm]

The skills do.

[twilit maple]

Like how wack is this for where I am?

[tired forge]

Look I am not disputing this can happen, it just literally happened to me on lower scale.

But the maths make no sense.

[sacred prism]

I wanna play witch but I don't know how good she is? I never played poe1, I wanna play the minions but ehh

[lyric owl]

What?

[glacial palm]

For example, here is killing palm (which generates a power charge)

[tired forge]

Why are my minions hitting like 6 times more than tehy statististically do?

[honest raft]

its been pretty easy for me

[lyric owl]

Ok ty

[glacial palm]

I don't play monk much, but I hear a lot of them use Combat Frenzy and the passive "Resonance"

So instead of generating frenzy charges, you generate power charges.

[atomic fern]

ah man, i remember making a joke about chrono minions being op at the start of poe2

[tired forge]

I am not even a chrono, I am a Titan

A non-optimal build

[glacial palm]

The point was that chrono doesn't even have anything in their ascendancy that improves minion damage at all.

Chrono isn't even remotely optimal for minions either lol

Either way, wrong channel.

[tired forge]

Titan isnt optimal, but Titan is very generalist.

[crisp quarry]

@sacred prism witch is very good

[tired forge]

Witch is tanky as fuck

Which is ironic, seeing the minion build with massive armor is actually Titan XD

[haughty niche]

Witch infernalist is probably the tankiest or second tankiest ascendency

[tired forge]

Second?

[fluid hull]

Energy shield is just broken atm

[haughty niche]

Idk monk seems good with that evasion providing pdr node

[tired forge]

Armor almost useless 😛

Am happy it at least applies to ES too.

[haughty niche]

Since armour does fuck all

[tired forge]

Armor is convenient, just never works when you need it to most.

ie vs bosses and hard enemies.

[haughty niche]

Idk what convenient means in thst case then

[fluid hull]

Its more that bosses ignore armour and it scales badly

[sacred prism]

Huge

[tired forge]

It allows you to very casually play the map.

[haughty niche]

You can usually already do that

[tired forge]

Since small enemies do basically nothing to you.

[tired forge]

True

Ohhhh

So the 16000 dps noted on the Reaver skill page is just for one Reaver?

[glacial palm]

Don't know, as I don't play minions.

[idle tide]

is tehre a way to get rid of that annoyin ass popup button for quest updates

[glacial palm]

But does the dps change when you change the number of Reavers summoned? @tired forge

[tired forge]

No, that is how I figured it out.

Bloody Hell!

[glacial palm]

There, question answered 🙂

[tired forge]

Arnt minion build supposed to hit like a wet sponge?

[glacial palm]

Not that I know of.

[undone sleet]

Why would they make an entire archetype suck?

[tired forge]

If EACH of 14 x Reavers hit with 16000 dps, no wonder the boss melted.

[glacial palm]

Imagine being witch in that scenario, with entire early passives swapped out for minion-related effects lol

I never hear people say minions don't do damage, usually only hear about them having a rough campaign start usually.

[tired forge]

I was a titan, it was even worse for me that witch 😛

[glacial palm]

Same for that chrono, I imagine.

[tired forge]

I didnt get a single minion buffing passive till like L15

Also can I say something heretical?

[haughty niche]

Perm minions struggle in early acts

But around cruel they start taking off iirc

Mostly life issues

[tired forge]

I just played as crossbow barbarian for first 25 level

[tired forge]

I think it is mainly DPS

[undone sleet]

It's not

[haughty niche]

Well they die in 2 hits from a white mob

[undone sleet]

A low DPS minion that stays alive isn't an issue

[tired forge]

If you have a maxed out Reaver at L40-60 you can kill literally any boss that doesnt have a cutscene in 15 seconds.

[haughty niche]

Srs carries until they start living and get damage

[tired forge]

Again, experience may differ, but I have never seen a minion die since getting skeleton cleric.

Not without being hit by boss/timer on frenzy running out.

[idle tide]

can i disable the "green" quest chat in my game?

[glacial palm]

Honestly not true without even seeing you play, but we also won't talk about the fact that you don't get clerics until 52 minimum

[lyric owl]

I have no skills that generate power charges

Wtf…!?

[long falcon]

Anyone able to help out a first timer through the arbiter fight? Not sure I am ready for it

[lyric owl]

This makes no sense there is ZERO explanation of power charges in this fuckin game

[twilit maple]

I'm ngl it sounds like you could have Googled that

[lyric owl]

The issue is HOW to fkin get them

Notice how NOWHERE it says

[grave crystal]

im ngl, i found a skill that gave me power charges without even actively searching for it

within the first day

[lyric owl]

Broken ass game

[twilit maple]

Can you help explain? idk I'm new asf lol

[indigo geyser]

My anoint recipe not showing when holding alt, anyone know how to fix it?

[lyric owl]

How the fuck does one GAIN POWER CHARGES

[meager pier]

power charges are stored in the balls

[twilit maple]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV3JWqoQ7j0

This hittin?

[grave crystal]

bro certain skills give you power charges

its not that hard to find them

[twilit maple]

The game could cover it I agree

Seems like online resources cover it

[haughty niche]

I forget but cant you ctrl+f charge in the uncut skill menu

[grave crystal]

maybe a lil bit of ingame reading can come help as well but i guess reading is too hard

[haughty niche]

I might be misremembering

[twilit maple]

TBH I think the ingame details are really good in this

[haughty niche]

Never interacted with them in poe2

[twilit maple]

Way better than other games

And it's probably crazy to expect an in-game wiki

[haughty niche]

They made it a goal to explain things better since poe1 is very barebones in that regard

And i believe they fund to keep the poewiki.net domain

Though the wiki itself is managed by players

[glacial palm]

This game gives you everything you need to find them. Just read the skills.
Literally skill number one is "Consumes your power charges" and you think "Oh, how do I get power charges"
Literally skill number two is "Generates a power charge" and you think "Oh, some skills make them and some skills use them"

[twilit maple]

Bruhhh how did I know LOL

[glacial palm]

Then you have this beautiful search box that you type "Power Charge" into

[meager pier]

I would recommend just charge

[haughty niche]

Oh look i did remember correctly lol

[crisp quarry]

I don't know how to test it but does anyone know the fastest cool down blink can get?

[meager pier]

0 with temporalis.

[haughty niche]

If you are using the keystone that changes the charges you gain you might need to get frenzies or whatever

[glacial palm]

Only putting "charge" includes ability that say you "charge" your weapon, or "charge at" the enemy.
I get what you're getting at, but it also assumes they know about charge conversion (which is a big leap at this point)

[haughty niche]

I believe they patched it to have a minimum of 100ms cooldown after temporalis. So effectively no cd

[glacial palm]

Considering I told them multiple methods to generate power charges earlier, and they came back to say "I have no idea how to generate power charges"

[crisp quarry]

@meager pier idk what that is but okay I'll look it up

[meager pier]

I'm gonna be real with you chief if you're asking that question I don't think you have 100+ divines laying around

for short term solutions in all support gems look up cooldown and also search it in the passive tree you might get it down to like 3 seconds or something

[haughty niche]

This is new player campaign help. So while temporalis was technically correct, its not really a realistic solution to blink cooldown.

[meager pier]

OH wow i'm in the wrong channel

thanks for telling me lol

[undone garnet]

did i fr just lose my ascension trial cause i tp'ed back home to sell stuff so i could carry more 😭

and i dont remember any unofficial that was also maintaned properly

without knowing more about your gear and passive tree, its really hard to guess

[grim terrace]

Lowlevel Player (45) Really not liking my build for mapping and want to respec I have a build in mind what would be the best way to get gold for it?

[grave crystal]

just keep playing the game

[meager galleon]

there really isnt much of a shortcut to getting gold, just gotta play

[grave crystal]

thr amount of gold you get increases the more you progress

[grim terrace]

Tuff mapping is brutal on what I have right now

[glacial palm]

Most people in early campaign opt to start selling rares for gold.

[meager galleon]

also how are you mapping at 45?!

[grim terrace]

sorry not mapping

just clearing screens

thought it was the same thing my b

[grave crystal]

also take a look at your gear

gear matters a lot too

[undone garnet]

how do you get more skill points for ur ascendancy?

[glacial palm]

I figured it meant the same thing. It's all just clearing from one end of the room to the other, as much as the game makes you lol

[frozen fossil]

anyone know where I can trade?

[meager galleon]

mapping is what we call the endgame

[grim terrace]

I think my gear is good I am just trying to make frostbolt work

[frozen fossil]

I heard there's a good discord channel where I can trade, I cannot find

[meager galleon]

selling or buying ?

[frozen fossil]

both

[grim terrace]

and it doesnt feel too amazing

[meager galleon]

for buying you just go to the official trade site and search for stuff

[glacial palm]

Separate discord, rather than a channel.
Commonly recommended one is "The Forbidden Trove"

[meager galleon]

for selling you need either a premium stash tab or make a forum post to list items for the trade site

[frozen fossil]

thank you.

[meager galleon]

for trading currency, there is the currency exchange ingame, when you talk to alva

for trading in bulk and services, the forbidden trove as mentioned

[frozen fossil]

thank you

[honest raft]

cast speed would do nothing for arsonist minions right? throwing stuff doesnt count as casting

[crisp quarry]

Correct

[glacial palm]

Correct. They don't gain your stats.

[meager galleon]

your cast certianly wont do anything

[crisp quarry]

Unless it says minion it doesn't affect them

[honest raft]

regal orb wasted

[meager galleon]

minion cast speed might depending on if their skill is a spell or attack

[glacial palm]

Hey, I imagine you cast other stuff though 🙂

[honest raft]

wait im confused so would this give cast speed or no

[meager galleon]

yes, that applies to minions

[honest raft]

but arsonists don't cast right

[glacial palm]

Not as familiar with minions, but I believe their detonation counts as a spell. Can double check though.

[crisp quarry]

Detonation isn't worth it

[glacial palm]

Well, not like they're buying this.

Just trying to feel better about their roll lol

[crisp quarry]

Ohh ok then yeah

[meager galleon]

according to poe2db.tw, the command skill for arsonists has a cast time

so cast speed should inflience it

[honest raft]

oh ok

also minion detonation seems super op to me

[glacial palm]

It's pretty great.

[hearty tundra]

I'm having problems trynna find ways to complete Ascent to Power in ACT 2 Cruel. I cleared out Traitor's Passage and couldn't find anything related to the quest. I already beat the betrayer boss there (the one that had a spear piercing her).

[honest raft]

idk why my arsonists arent doing a lot of damage but minion detenoation does a lot

[glacial palm]

Whether you're using unearth early, or srs next, you will find plenty of dudes to pop for lots of damage.

[glacial palm]

You don't need to, and I believe are not able to sadly.

Act 2 Cruel will not drop the quest version of the barya, so won't progress.

[hearty tundra]

oof

[honest raft]

i dont see how arsonists are good though, they are super clunky and die a lot

[hearty tundra]

im guessing they'll patch it out or something soon?

[glacial palm]

Likely not supposed to be present, but as far as I know we won't even have the "cruel" acts on launch.

They're just a stand-in for acts 4-6

[grave crystal]

yeah

third and fourth ascendancies are a little rough

[hearty tundra]

TRUUUEEE

[honest raft]

could this guy sell for anything? i have a better hat and i dont see any other listings on the website so im totally clueless

[crystal tartan]

nah dog

[glacial palm]

Take it back to poe though

Probably worth something there lol

[honest raft]

damn

it looks cool though

ill just keep it in my stash ig

[glacial palm]

I like it while leveling tbh

Assuming you're not on one of the other leveling helms.

[honest raft]

i got the cap which gives me 30% elemental resist i think that ones better

[glacial palm]

Yeah lol

Goldrim is pretty much one of the main ones I had in mind there.

[crystal tartan]

goldrim my beloved

[glacial palm]

Some things will never change. Still starting every alt with wanderers and goldrims

[crystal tartan]

right lmao poe never changed

[verbal egret]

need help with a chaos trial pls

[glacial palm]

Sure, what questions did you have about it?

[verbal egret]

just assistance getting through

[glacial palm]

Oh, you're probably looking for global chat or #2┃looking-for-group then.

[verbal egret]

gotcha

[honest raft]

guys i think im doing something wrong, my arsonists are falling off so hard and im getting carried by detonate minion. even though im following a guide

they just get melted by difficult opponents and dont do that much damage anymroe

my scepter is up to date on its level too and i took minion related passive skills too

[crystal tartan]

is it a leveling guide or just a flat wear these things and spec for this kinda guide?

[honest raft]

im using this it tells me good support gems to use

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-infernalist-leveling-guide

pretty sure my gear is better than the guide since someone gave me a unique shield for free yesterday and i got lucky with 2 more good uniques during my run

[hearty tundra]

Why am I hearing people saying poe 2's crafting stinks?

[crystal tartan]

im not too sure really, guide looks pretty detailed

[honest raft]

my arsonists just melt against certain enemies

[crystal tartan]

you got enough jewelers?

[honest raft]

sometimes if the terrain is good i can kill yellow bosses in like a second other times my arsonists die instantly

yeah i can show

[crystal tartan]

looks like most of your dmg is coming from SRS

[crystal tartan]

ah yeah i mean theyre still pretty low level with only 2 slots

i imagine theyll get better as you progress

[honest raft]

ok

[crisp quarry]

Stop using detonate minion

[crystal tartan]

i hear minion builds are rough in the early game

but start to pop off when you progress more

[crisp quarry]

Eh kinda? But not really, I felt fine after around level 20

[icy radish]

At what part of the early game can I stop having to pick every single thing up? Porting back every 5 mins to town is kinda tedious.

[hearty tundra]

Do wands not benefit form quality? I took a look at the quality tooltip and didn't see any mention of bonuses to wands.

[glacial palm]

That's about right.

Early it's rough, start to feel more normal once you pick up srs

[honest raft]

detonate minion is saving my ass though

it does so much damage

[daring dragon]

It's supposed to raises the skills quality but it's currently not working.

[crisp quarry]

Yeah you're also losing minions

[hearty tundra]

oof

[honest raft]

i just detonate dead enemies

[crisp quarry]

You're not detonating dead enemies

Your minions go beneath a health threshold and you detonate them I believe

PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong

[glacial palm]

Close enough, yeah.

It's got a max hp, so you can pop disposable minions like unearth or srs minions though.
(Which are below the threshold on spawn)

So not a terrible loss to pop them for a ton of damage.

[honest raft]

wait really?

[glacial palm]

Yes. You destroy a minion that has <x> or less hp, set by the skill

[crisp quarry]

My recommendation is get anything with spirit , having warrior minions to tank is pretty important

[glacial palm]

If you are popping your reviving minions, it's good if it nets you a kill but can be a big loss otherwise.

Ideally you're popping those minions that you can just revive on demand like the raging spirits.

[honest raft]

im so confused

bc i've been popping t hese

corpses of enemies

oh wait

[crisp quarry]

Nope you're not

[honest raft]

its different skill

detonate dead

im dumb

[crisp quarry]

Use unearth on those to summon those skeleton crawlers, not great but they're something

[glacial palm]

Giant wall of meat is what they are.

Used them on my chaos build for the longest time lol. Did no damage but absolutely grabbed aggro and ate projectiles.

[crisp quarry]

Doing their job!

[hasty sorrel]

Hi, can you re spec the accession points?

[crystal tartan]

yup

[slender furnace]

When i try to activate demon form and then cast a spell its ends demon form, anyone know why?

[honest raft]

small question: does explosive demise (the arsonist skill) make the arsonists throw more grenades or does it just tell them to throw it at a specific place

the description is confusing

[clever geode]

demon form dont allow weapon
so any skill using weapon will end it

[craggy gyro]

@honest raft were you the one i gave gears to

can i have 1 gold ring

[honest raft]

oh sure

[craggy gyro]

to fund my gears

HAHAHA

[honest raft]

yeah

[craggy gyro]

just 1

u can have the rest

[honest raft]

i cant even use them yet lol

no worries

[craggy gyro]

later later

i'm reinstalling the game

[honest raft]

ok

just let me know when

[craggy gyro]

i feel like playing poisonous concoction at higher tiers

[waxen cedar]

for some reason the third ascendency thing isn’t dropping for me

so the mission is just bugged on “search traitors passage”

[crystal tartan]

It's known

[vapid cave]

ive gotten a currency tab and a gem tab is there anything i need to get with my 110 points left?

[crystal tartan]

Doesn't affect anything tho dw

[vague hollow]

where do you find the djinn barya for the 1st ascendancy thingy?

i'm playing with a partner and i found one but she didn't

does that mean i can ascend and she can't?

[crystal tartan]

You can both do it together with that token youve got

[vague hollow]

ah okay nice

[crystal tartan]

I'm pretty sure any way. Unless the first trial is different

[vague hollow]

what's the difference between the djhin barya and balbala's barya?

[craggy gyro]

they are the same

balbala i think is from tutorial

from very 1st time of killing her

djin is normal drops

as far as i know

[toxic parcel]

hey anyone know exactly why the second piece of the altar puzzle isnt spawning/dropping for me even after rerunning the place it drops in multiple times? - i need the answer for this question by one of you people that no life this game !?

[glacial palm]

Later on you'll get baryas that are more trials, but for now the important part is that the quest item is reusable until you beat it.

The normal ones are single use items. Pass or fail, that item is gone when the trial is over.

[toxic parcel]

ok, so i guess they aint here, crazy

[long sequoia]

what are the endgame ways of getting charges as a monk? a friend just gave me a ton of level 3 support gems so i think i can get some of it..?

[ocean totem]

hey guys whom do i ping to get my ascendancies done?

[drifting marlin]

is it normal that zalmarath the colossus doesnt receive any damage? i've beat him multiple times before but just created a new character and i cant even target him

[craggy gyro]

@honest raft are u in game?

[honest raft]

yes

[craggy gyro]

ign?

[frosty light]

Check if you have gem requirements

[drifting marlin]

gem requirements? wdym?

[honest raft]

im coming

[elder ember]

look at the top of your gem menu

you have a total number of gems per stat. every 5 in a stat allows another gem of that colour (red:str green:dex blue:int)

[drifting marlin]

it's fine. how's that related to me not being able to target the guy

[royal wharf]

What's the cartographer cache ?

[hardy sun]

maps

[royal wharf]

Ok

[honest raft]

does this mean the trial is worthless?

[elder ember]

for you, yes

[vague hollow]

are the leech physical attack dmg mods functionally useless if ur using ele attacks like ice strike?

and if so where do i get leech?

[clever geode]

only the phy dmg part

u can get life/mana on kill mods

[tall drum]

guys my mission doesn't want to finish : find the source of the azakh-kul poison

how to i finish it ?

[vague hollow]

is 5-10 physical dmg on a ring essentially equal to 5-10 cold dmg if i'm using ice strike?

[storm pagoda]

is trade website down?

[sacred agate]

Nope

[long sequoia]

can you trigger ice and lightning herald together? i can't seem to trigger ice, it's turned on yeah

[elder ember]

yes

[haughty monolith]

Is there a way to cancel the big lever animation?

Kills momentum like crazy and takes way too long

[tall drum]

guys which venom i choose as deadeye ?

[robust hill]

threshhold

[tall drum]

yes u can but u need spirits to active both , u need 60spirits

[robust hill]

elemental threshhold is best

[tall drum]

ty very much

[robust hill]

helps u proc herald of ice / thunder and works on ur own being frozen etc too

huge, playing in hardcore and hit +1socket corrupt

[fiery pasture]

hey guys, is there an easy way to show current minimum stat requirements?

trying to figure out which stats i can afford to lower without it messing up whats needed on my gear, or skills, or whatever, without having to go 1 by 1

[normal ibex]

nope, this is a pad and pencil exercise. doesnt take too long really.

at the risk of triggering byrons sensibilities, it seems best to stick to only 2 stats for any given build, this might change at late game but i suspect not so much

[crisp oar]

Is there anyone who could help me with an act two boss?

[normal ibex]

for context, this saves messing with stats too much since it determins what gear you use anyway to a degree

[normal ibex]

#2┃looking-for-group

[crisp oar]

👌🏼

[silent depot]

I have a question. I heard there are three ways in the campaign to gain 30 spirit each. Would somebody be able to tell me where I can get the second and third? I already did Freythorn to get +30 on my build

I’m in need of at least 30-60 more in order to use the spirit skills I need

[warped copper]

hey, are gems useful later on ? should i store em

[sacred agate]

Support gems are always useful. Lower level skill and spirit gems most likely only when you start an alt

[frozen vapor]

What character most fun to play?

[sacred agate]

Impossible to answer

Its subjective

[frozen vapor]

I have 4 characters lvl 80+ and its no fun

[sacred agate]

Then maybe the game is not for you?

[frozen vapor]

Idk

[dapper storm]

Bro when the freeze game gonna be solved I can't even advance in my game because each time I enter the map the load make my pc freeze

You think I can ask the support for help ?

[sacred agate]

How is that relevant to #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help

(Jiexi)

[dapper storm]

I dont know ?

I can still ask there no ?

I'm new to the game too xd

[ember mural]

wrong chat

[sacred agate]

Read the topic of the channel

[dapper storm]

So where should I ask this ?

[sacred agate]

Find a channel with a description that fits :d

[hearty tundra]

Yo if I put support gems into Crossbow Shot, does it even apply if I use other bolts like Fragmentation rounds?

[sacred agate]

#2┃general #2┃early-access etc

[hearty tundra]

Cuz I have Pin and Envenom on Crossbow Shot but it doesn't seem to proc...

[sacred agate]

No

If you put it in crossbow shot it only works with the default crossbow shot

If you want the support gem to apply to Fragmentation rounds

[hearty tundra]

Bruhh

[sacred agate]

you gotta put it into the Fragmentation skill

[hearty tundra]

yeap

thought it was like

thought it would synergize or somethin

[sacred agate]

No. Then you could place a support gem ANY place and it would help all skills?

That would be a clusterfuck of OP 😄

[hearty tundra]

no cuz like

mercs use the same skill to shoot which is crossbow shot

it would make sense if labelled the slots under basic bolt

[sacred agate]

When you click Fragment shot thats a new skill

[hearty tundra]

yk

[sacred agate]

nothing to do with the standard bow shot

[digital light]

hi what should i put as suppott gem to wind dancer

[west meteor]

I didn't do the sacrificial heart and dagger thing aggorat, then went through the portal into cruel. Is there any way to go back and still do it?

[winged crescent]

yes

[west meteor]

how? the portal just sends me back to riverbank and the ziggurat encampment waypoint in act 3 is disabled for me...

[winged crescent]

its a little weird but youll have to use a way stone somewhere in clearfell and it should let you go back to that section of act 3 if not I dont mind helping you out in like 15 min after I finish this chaos run

[naive tiger]

damn, this community is so nice

[west meteor]

ah thank you it worked!!!

[winged crescent]

sweet, good to hear

[winged crescent]

lol thank you

[golden bay]

guys i cannot get to the trial of sekhema

i have a baraya but not the quest one and i just cant go there anymore

like

[digital light]

big map up corner

[golden bay]

its impossible

[digital light]

u killed balbala

[golden bay]

yes

[digital light]

u have the thingy?

[golden bay]

i didnt pick it up

and now im stuck

[digital light]

oh

there must be a solution for that lol

[golden bay]

idk what im supposed to do

[digital light]

maybe check the boss again?

[golden bay]

i already did that

[rugged tangle]

shoulda picked up the "thingy" lol

[digital light]

wjat a great solution lol

[rugged tangle]

I had to say it..... came into this late and reading the convo had me rolling 🤣

[digital light]

you shouldve said skill issue

[rugged tangle]

when in doubt always pick up the "thingy" lol

[unborn delta]

A good rule for life.

[granite kraken]

Guys how to open the map

Like the fast travel one

Its icon appears here sometimes

[thick zodiac]

I respeced my characters passive tree about 5 levels too early before I got the actual skill and support gem I need to use the build and now am stuck with a pretty unusable build on act 3, is there any way I could grind XP or support/skill gems on some earlier part of the game

[azure lava]

Like I said, you're bugged and cannot ever do the trial of the sekhema on that character (unless GGG patches it). Without the quest version of the djinn barya you cannot talk to Asala to unlock the trial of the sekhema zona. If someone tries to portal you into the zone it'll say you don't have the required quest state. I stand by what I said earlier; I would make a new character and hope that they patch this before you play this one again.

[azure lava]

Is there any reason you can't go back to the build you were playing before?

[craggy gyro]

gold most likely

[junior fjord]

Hello, I have a question. I don't understand. I don't see the level of my equipment on ps5. even by pressing R3.

[azure lava]

Click on a waypoint or a checkpoint in the world

[craggy gyro]

u can respec infinite times as long as u have gold

[azure lava]

Some gear doesn't have a level requirement

[junior fjord]

Ok thanks 👍

[digital light]

what dies corruption altar do

[azure lava]

Corrupts an item, modifying it unpredictably

[golden bay]

im hoping i can do it when i get to trial of chaos

[digital light]

should i do it

[azure lava]

Don't use it on something you can't afford to lose

[azure lava]

Chaos should be no problem

[thick zodiac]

Gold and remembering what it was

[thick zodiac]

Indeed

[digital light]

i wanted ti change my crossbiw anyways

maybe that

[azure lava]

Don't you have the gems you used before?
