[half vigil]

idk man im 1 level higher than i should be but she has like

[azure lava]

Just wait til the act 2 boss and basically every act 3 boss

[half vigil]

shit ton of hp

and i was just fighting her for 3 minutes and did half of her hp

[hard cypress]

Jamanra is one of my longest and most fun boss fights

[lament stone]

your level doesnt affect your damage

[half vigil]

garbage boss </3

[lament stone]

what does is your gear, skill level and support gems and skill tree

[honest coyote]

damage is all from skill level, support gem synergy, a good wep for the job, and a good passive tree

[haughty niche]

Decent thing to check is weapon lvl req vs your level.

If its like 10 lvls behind, chances are you could find a better item base by now

Most often from vendors

[nova verge]

I got a jewel that says "50% increased energy shield from equipped focus" on my passive tree and I got a focus in my offhand but it doesn't seem to make a difference...

[honest coyote]

does the focus you have equipped have a decent amount of ES on it?

because there are battle focuses that pretty much give no ES

[nova verge]

405 total energy shield already on the focus

[lament stone]

you should be gaining about 200 energy shield from that

unless you have eldritch battery, then you would gain 0

[nova verge]

it would convert into mana though right?

[lament stone]

no

[nova verge]

well shit

nvm then......

[lament stone]

since increases apply after conversion

[nova verge]

what a bummer...

too poor to afford dream fragments too : \

thanks for your help!

[echo jay]

friend who plays on XBOX is trying to msg me (PC) and he is unable to

what could be wrong?

[half vigil]

wow i killed

it was a 12 minute long fight

[daring dragon]

Is there any error message when he tries to do so? Do both of you have crossplay turned on?

Does he try to whisper via chat command or the user interface from the social menu?

[strong igloo]

Anyone else having frequent lag/dcs?

[echo jay]

when i send (from PC) msg, it says user not found

when he sends msg (from XBOX), no error but i dont receive whisper

we do have cross play

[daring dragon]

Both of you tried a relog already?

[azure lava]

balbala? If so, it sounds like there are improvements to be made to your character

[half vigil]

probably but i cant find any better items than the ones i have rn

[narrow talon]

Can I buy ascended points?

[dapper storm]

Yeah in the global chat a lot ppl helping on them

But the price is higher now I think

[daring dragon]

Forbidden trove discord

Many people in global chat will just try to scam you.

[wooden crane]

How does quality effect skills?

[narrow talon]

fuck

[plush mantle]

varies wildly between different skills. Holding alt or...L3? should tell you what quality on a given skill does

[rotund trench]

i havent had a single spirit gem drop for whole of act 2 and act 3 almost

are they super rare?

im lvl 44

[dapper storm]

Which quality I should aim for this ??

[vapid spoke]

How are people hitting lvl 27 on skill gems. I'm new :(

[dapper storm]

Having the stat all melee skill + lvl on items

[vapid spoke]

Ohhh so if you have that stat on multiple items, it stacks?

[old bluff]

yo i have a question is there any thing that high lvl player can trade to low lvl player to help them

[dapper storm]

yé

[lament stone]

depending on what your build is, that might not even be worth using

[dapper storm]

but it's better to do this in very very endgame, because dependanding on the class and build you play it can cost a lot of mana on ur spell if they are 27

[dapper storm]

ice strike and flicker strike

[wild depot]

Does the faster start of ES recharge reduce to 0s at 100% faster start?

[vapid spoke]

Does plus level on skill gems make a huge difference in damage or is it just mediocre/not something to focus

[icy radish]

The permanent bonuses you get in campaign, would you able to get them again in cruel and stack em?

[lament stone]

attribute stacking or no?

[dapper storm]

not really I'm on howa build

[plush mantle]

fairly rare. There's one in Act 2 you might have missed (golden chest in Lost City)

[dapper storm]

I don't use the caged god

[lament stone]

howa is attribute stacking

[dapper storm]

Dex/intell I mostly use, I don't use str

[lament stone]

pillar is still good with that

[half vigil]

also wtf are the trials?

[dapper storm]

currently I loose dmg when I use it

[plush mantle]

no, 100% faster is half the start time

[plush mantle]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/trials-of-ascendancy

[rotund trench]

ohhh okay, at least i thought my game was bugged or something. Guess i just have to play more. Ill check to see if i missed it in lost city

thank you

[half vigil]

not reading this bullshit

why couldnt the devs make a fucking in game explenation instead you gotta fucking google everything </3

maybe when the game gets to 1.0 they will fix 92% of the game

[hard cypress]

They.. do ?

[lament stone]

there is ingame explanations for everything... except how to access the ingame explanations

if you hold alt on items, you can click any underlined text to read exactly what it means

[vapid spoke]

Oh yeah that is a life saver

Where i can see what elemental ailments mean and stuff like that

[lament stone]

fins something that says ailment on it and click the word ailment

[half vigil]

ive been talking to the random lady and was reading some item description and all i found out is that theyre very old and that they are old but like real old, even ancient old, and they can ascend me. Did i say that it also said theyre old

[lament stone]

talking to npcs isnt gonna give you much info

clicking on underlined text is

[half vigil]

thats lowkey ass

[lament stone]

hold alt on an item and youll see somelines of text are underlined, you can click those to read exactly what that thing means

[vapid spoke]

Sorry didn't mean that as in a question lol

[half vigil]

i had some strength trail

i had 20 seconds for idk what

[vapid spoke]

I mean as an example I used it lol

[half vigil]

elite enemy appeared but had like

boss amount of hp

time run out and i died

[lament stone]

death crystal trial? ignore the enemies you just need to run past them to activate all the crystals within the time limit

[hard cypress]

Reading (or/and) watching guides skill check failed

[mortal dawn]

i didnt pick up the balbala thing after beating traitor . how can i get to trial of sek ?? i have the other barya bit i dnt have the trial of sek location ?

[wooden crane]

What does this symbol mean?

[plush mantle]

reading the crystal you clicked on at the start of the room check failed 😛

[half vigil]

cool that you told me that cuz the game didnt

[hard cypress]

It literally does

[lament stone]

the game does tell you how the death crystal trial works

[wet whale]

lmao just died looking at ritual rewards in a trail of fire

[half vigil]

anyways i still think i need to upgrade my build but idfk how to cuz theres a lil bit too much of it </3

[lament stone]

it doesnt tell you to ignore enemies, but its not hard to figure out that you should ignore them when you see how much time you waste trying to kill them instead of running to the next crystal

[half vigil]

dude it didnt tell me anything

just a crystal

and a timer

[trim turret]

Right it's contextual. The crystals tell you need to click on them, a timer starts it let's off a little effect to show you the direction of the next one.

[half vigil]

and word saying trail of strength

[lament stone]

it literally tells you on the first crystal how the trial works

[dusky burrow]

doesnt the crystal say "click the crystals" when you hover over it

[plush mantle]

yes

[half vigil]

i may have clicked on it by accident

[dusky burrow]

you know for next time

[half vigil]

also build creation is such a diarrhea in this game

[dusky burrow]

sure it is

are you here to vent or to ask for help

[trim turret]

You're always complaining. Provide some form of actually useful feedback or stop doing generic "this thing sucks but I won't explain how." It's the wrong channel for it anyway.

[half vigil]

i alr asked

[half vigil]

giving personal feedback

about the game

[hard cypress]

"The game never told me anything" when it did is not feedback

[eager basin]

this is feedback about your own lack of reading ability

[half vigil]

this starts to feel like reddit

cuz i also cant say the nword on you

[hard cypress]

Umm what

[trim turret]

Grow up.

[pulsar flame]

based

[half vigil]

nty mr toebag

id rather stay the same age i am

[eager basin]

you talk like a twelve year old with unrestricted internet access

[trim turret]

Either way, ask for help or leave. We're not here for you to do low effort banter and generic complaining.

[eager basin]

(this is a buff)

[rugged tangle]

lol just block him, why yall continue to talking to the child?

[half vigil]

you talk like a 35 year old reddit mod with a double chin

[half vigil]

at the end of the day its just discord

[pulsar flame]

this guy is so based

[dusky burrow]

cool (gottem)

[hard cypress]

So anyway, moving on what are some very unorthodox but fun builds to try

[eager basin]

two messages for my personal satisfaction and I'm off anyway

[trim turret]

I was gonna do a witchhunter mace build.

[eager basin]

have you seen the comet looper

actually, is that still around?

[hard cypress]

Bonk with minions piling on ?

[trim turret]

Nope, just bonk and a lot of culling strike buffs.

[hard cypress]

What.. is a comet looper

[eager basin]

random video

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vCnW8OSUMMA

[pulsar flame]

shot my shot

[hard cypress]

"Please do the needful"

[honest raft]

is it possible to list jewels while also socketing them?

[honest raft]

lmao

[wooden crane]

I think u have better luck sticking one regal for one divine on currency exchange lol

[topaz junco]

Just an fyi. We do ban for that. Do not do it again

[pulsar flame]

u gotta at least try

[south mantle]

Anyone got any idea on why my Merc damage has fallen off massively in act 2

I’m using a lighting build and I just seem to have had a massive drop in damage would it be better for me to upgrade my weapon

[pulsar flame]

why?

[topaz junco]

What do you mean why?

[pulsar flame]

like why would you ban me from the discord for asking a dev for a div orb

[daring dragon]

Because you are bothering a dev lol

Isn't it obvious

[honest raft]

its probably annoying to have a bunch of unsolicited dms

[wooden crane]

[topaz junco]

1. you have no idea what they work on
2. it’s part of the rules
3. it’s rude
4. they don’t do handouts
5. because I asked you not to do it again and doing so would break another rule

[pulsar flame]

im not bothering him, just a polite question

[honest raft]

question abt gambling for amulets, does level or %rarity of items affect what you get from the vendor?

[daring dragon]

You literally are

Jesus some people

[pulsar flame]

🤓

[dusky burrow]

begging and to a dev and questioning why its not allowed wow

[south mantle]

Isn’t this a help channel

[pulsar flame]

im broke

yeah

i need help with currency

[topaz junco]

Yes. Question help

[trim turret]

So does everyone.

[pulsar flame]

75 hours and only 4 div

[trim turret]

You aren't special.

[eager basin]

I think the better comment is "you aren't funny"

[pulsar flame]

please stop using punctuation bro

[eager basin]

this is feeding the troll

[wooden crane]

Wouldn’t think so and besides with normal stellar amulet you would want it lower if anything

[dusky burrow]

next message is a mute if it's not asking for help / giving help

ok nvm

[topaz junco]

@dusky burrow it’s yours if you want. I have to start driving home

[dusky burrow]

yeah sure

[south mantle]

So anyone got any advice for dealing more damage on Merc is it better to just upgrade my weapon or focus on something else I kinda fell off in act 2 and it’s painful

[topaz junco]

What skill

[daring dragon]

Keep your weapon up to date yes

[hard cypress]

Are you skills upgraded as well ? Maybe show the skills and support gems you are using ?

[trim turret]

Attacks scale off your weapon so it's very important to keep that up to date but there are a lot of other elements.

[daring dragon]

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

[south mantle]

Cheers guys time to buy another weapon then

[mortal dawn]

i didnt pick up the balbala thing after beating traitor . how can i get to trial of sek ?? i have the other barya bit i dnt have the trial of sek location ?

[trim turret]

Remember to check vendors and maybe do a bit of gambling at that vendor as well.

[daring dirge]

when i got to act 2 i switched my merc to grenadier and he blasts every thing, MP issues though

[south mantle]

Is this worth doing

[south mantle]

I kinda wanted to avoid grenade as it didn’t seem fun to me

[trim turret]

I wouldn't suggest it if it wasn't. I hit act 2 with my warrior and found a blue mace with better damage than the rare one I was using because it was a better base item.

[south mantle]

I didn’t know if it was only worth it when you have a lot of money as I didn’t have a lot of currency for it

[trim turret]

Then don't gamble. But it doesn't hurt to browse the vendor and that's where I've found better weapons multiple times. Or a better base I could try to craft on.

[meager flower]

I found one of these, is it worth using these when corrupting gems? Are they corrupting the gem twice or something?

[plush mantle]

it removes the "does nothing" option

[meager flower]

oohhh

but that's good!

[south mantle]

You were spot on I found something better a little less damage but the effects are much better

[restive turret]

If I buy a cosmetic is it locked to that char or am I able to change it inbetweenc hars

[plush mantle]

you "reclaim" the mtx and can then apply it to a new character

technically, you can have more than one copy and use them on multiple characters, but I'm not sure why you'd want to

[restive turret]

Ty boss

[final geyser]

And Portal replacers can be used freely on all characters.

[marsh lark]

do you need to beat the campaign to join maps ?

[dusky burrow]

yeah

all 6 acts

[wooden crane]

What does this symbol mean

[marsh lark]

aight

[mortal dawn]

i didnt pick up the balbala thing after beating traitor . how can i get to trial of sek ?? i have the other barya bit i dnt have the trial of sek location ?

[wind sequoia]

when armor has say +100 to evasion is that already added to total evasion rating?

[dusky burrow]

to the evasion granted by the item, it's a local modifier

[wind sequoia]

not sure i understand, if evasion rating is 900, and its got a modifier of + 100 evasion, would evasion rating be 1000?

[drifting marlin]

hey i have some passive points that grants me bonuses with rage, and i was wondering, do i just get rage by hitting stuff normally or do i need some gear that states i gain rage on hit first?

[dusky burrow]

at minimum, yeah

[daring dirge]

sadly i have to agree, but its probably the most viable leveling option haha
will probably try something else once i get more gear

[dusky burrow]

but you might have #% increased Evasion Rating on that item

that #% will affect the flat evasion on that item as well

so if you have 100% inc. evasion rating on that item, you get +200 evasion from that item

[wind sequoia]

got it thanks.

[dusky burrow]

and you may also have global inc. evasion from sources like the tree

[tall gulch]

Is PoB safe?

[daring dirge]

what is PoB?

[dusky burrow]

path of building, and yeah

just double check that it's the correct download

[tall gulch]

Path of Building

[tall gulch]

does this message appear when you install it?

[dusky burrow]

im not on windows so idk

[tall gulch]

Creator is Wires77, right?

[dusky burrow]

sounds right

can see here https://pathofbuilding.community/

[nimble pasture]

Kinda lost, how am i meant to create a second passive tree for my other weapon (Both are equipped)

[dusky burrow]

respec some points, then click on the arrows to allocate into that tree

[daring dragon]

You need regular skill points to spend weapon set ones. Then you need to equip 2 weapon sets and then you need to assign certain skills to each specific set.

[nimble pasture]

Ah :/

Wish i knew that before

Oke oke

[prisma adder]

hey anyone knows if thorn can break armor with warbringer?

[daring dragon]

If your build doesn't utilizes this mechanic in a specific way its not worth using it.

[tiny anchor]

hi it’s not letting me refund my passive using the hooded one?

[alpine silo]

any reason it doesn't list any dps?

[tiny anchor]

i’m clicking y but it’s not working

am i not doing something right?

[stable cairn]

move around / use a skill

if you enter a zone your on grace timer and everything is disabled

[alpine silo]

thank you!

[bleak sand]

Does crown of thorns work with chaos inaculation?

[gloomy scarab]

Will there be AFK trading in POE? Trader? Market?

[topaz junco]

No

[gloomy scarab]

Why?

[fast iron]

anyone got a divine ire

lvl 20

[topaz junco]

Because te devs want player interaction

[topaz junco]

We don’t allow trading on the server

[jade perch]

Posted in there, multiple times, it's lost in 15 seconds by a bunch of nonsense chatter.

[gloomy scarab]

Ok, but afk in game. Now ppl scaming, adding stuff and grow prices

[topaz junco]

Welcome to player interaction, just be careful when trading

[dusky burrow]

no

1/1 life is full, not low

[topaz junco]

You can post agin as long as it’s not spamming the channel

[jade perch]

You don't allow trading in here so we're forced to use the garbage in game chat system? Wtf

[mild quiver]

My mercenary necromancer build has gotten so much more efficient in act 3.

[bleak sand]

Makes sense

[trim turret]

No, you use the trade website. Don't ever use ingame chat. And we aren't an official Discord, so no, we don't allow trading.

[jade perch]

Aight I'm out, this discord is a joke, off topic BS, can't chat if it's about trading items. Fk off with your crayon eating rules.

[topaz junco]

We don’t work for ggg and have no way to facilitate trustworthy trades nor do we (mods) want to deal that system

[mild quiver]

I got oil grenade, then added fire pen to explosive shot, got infernal support skill on skeletons and meat shield. Equiped a helmet that boosted minion lvls by 2. Skeletons do actual damage now and explosive shot one shots normal mobs. Damage is great now

[tidal blade]

best stats for quaterstaff?

#2┃crafting-advice message

[iron jetty]

any1 know how to get all 8 acendancy points?

[honest raft]

wait you can do ascensions through either way?

[iron jetty]

can i pay for a carry?

[azure lava]

Not in this server

[iron jetty]

ok

[honest raft]

wait this is confusing, the first ascension is before the trial of chaos, and i did the second one before level 45

[azure lava]

yes, you did the "or any other ascension 1" option here

I assume you did sekhema in act 2 and chaos in act 3, right?

chaos via the quest ultimatum is the "Other ascension 1"

[honest raft]

oh ok

so min level for asc 3 is 60?

how do i unlock asc 3 in sekhema

[coral cosmos]

boys I am getting cooked by the rathbreaker boss in act 2, am I missing something here? any particular ranger skill thats good on him? Ive just been shooting alternating poison and stormcaller arrows to whittle him down but the horde of dogs that spawn roughly midway through just eat through me like tissue paper

[azure lava]

find a djinn barya with 3 trials (floors) that is level 60+

[coral cosmos]

is he perhaps weak to a specific damage type or sumthin?

[azure lava]

the third and fourth ascension keys are only available through random drops

[craggy gyro]

babamı kaybettim :c

[azure lava]

your skills have almost no synergy. Poison and lightning arrow don't syngerize at all, basically

also I'd wager you probably are lacking life on gear

also no amulet is oof

[coral cosmos]

yeah he does oneshot me with the slicey wave attack

much to my chagrin

also pardon I didnt mean I use lightning arrow for him

i do stormcaller

then one that sticks to him for a bit then detonates

then spam poison in between each detonation then reapply stormcaller

[azure lava]

stormcaller is the one that sticks and detonates

[coral cosmos]

yes

[azure lava]

your bow has basically no physical damage

so poison is doing fuck all

[coral cosmos]

poison is physical??

[azure lava]

hold alt and click on the poison keyword

read how poison works

[coral cosmos]

huh

well ill be damned

its my second highest dps though, other then basic arrow shot

should I just be shooting him with normal arrows?

[azure lava]

the dps tooltip doesn't account for poison dps

that's the dps of you just hitting them with your arrows

[coral cosmos]

ah okay

hm

[azure lava]

but it also doesn't account for how many times lightning rod can detonate and hit something

[coral cosmos]

hmmmmmmm okay

[azure lava]

Personally, I'd recommend cutting an orb of storms gem and using that and lightning rod

nothing else for damage

[coral cosmos]

so should I try just all in with the lightning skills? stormcaller, rod, electrocute, all those?

[azure lava]

nah

just orb of storms and lightning rod

[coral cosmos]

I do think ive got a spare orb of storms funnily enough

[azure lava]

use the links in herehttps://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1326972100409426081

it shreds basically everything

[coral cosmos]

huh thats neat

[azure lava]

I even recommend two lightning rod gems

[coral cosmos]

ive been following this, is it any good? https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/lightning-arrow-farmer-fubgun

you can stack the abilities??????

[azure lava]

Personally, I think any bow leveling build that isn't using exactly the setup I linked is inferior

unless they have twink gear

[coral cosmos]

huh well fair enough ig Ill give it a poke

[azure lava]

yeah, you can use multiple copies of the same skill gem

just not support gems

[coral cosmos]

thank you for the tip on poison by the way, i find it very boring and only kept it around cause I assumed it was my best damage source

[coral cosmos]

is there any point to doing this? is it to just avoid cooldown? or does it increase the damage of each cast somehow?

[azure lava]

in this case, it's so you can put supports for clearing mobs on one of them and supports for single target on the other

[coral cosmos]

aaaah alrighty

[azure lava]

specifically magnified effect for clearing and concentrated effect for bossing

[daring dirge]

oh it doesn't combine the supports on the two copies XD

[azure lava]

hell nah

[daring dirge]

WTB 10 support slots on skills haha

[coral cosmos]

oh and would it be better to go for armor with tons of evasion or the energy shield ones?

[azure lava]

it gives you two separate buttons to assign

[coral cosmos]

If an armor gives like triple my currents evasion, but no energy shield is it better?

[azure lava]

none of those. You want movement speed on boots with as much life and resistances as possible. The other stats are pretty unimportant compared to those

[coral cosmos]

huh

[azure lava]

I would recommend using whatever gives more life/resists regardless of its evasion/armor/es

at least during the campaign

[coral cosmos]

gotcha

[azure lava]

or until your ele resists are capped

[coral cosmos]

wind dancer is an incredibly cool sounding persistant buff, is it worth using if evasion is just bad?

[honest raft]

difficulty check? could i do it at lv 60 with good gear and updated everything?

[azure lava]

imo, yes

[coral cosmos]

hell yeah

gotta me some more spirit then

[azure lava]

even if you have no evasion, the knockback it does is life-saving

[coral cosmos]

alrighty thanks for the help ill give that build a poke

[wary summit]

For infernalist build is maxxing the flame wall,infernalist or raging spirits more important

[azure lava]

I like to put stuff like blind and maim on it

[wary summit]

Which one mean

I*

[azure lava]

without honor resistance relics? It might be rough

the third boss is a monster

and you haven't even beaten the 2nd one yet

I'd recommend doing some 2-floor sekhemas to unlock relic slots and get more relics

try to get honor resistance capped (75%)

build worked great, threw it on and proceeded to beat the boss first try >:)

[wooden crane]

Is there setting where i can turn off search bar so i dont do search every time i look at tiers

[vernal rampart]

since no one is talking in #2┃build-planning ill ask here, My build has me pick between bow and quarterstaff i chose quarter staff so i cant use the recommended stormcaller arrow can i use voltaic Mark as a replacement it seems just like the same thing but for crossbow

[kindred fiber]

do the bone spells, blasy, storm, cage react with crit hit chance and crit damage?

[vernal rampart]

?

[dusky burrow]

My build has me pick between bow and quarterstaff
those are very, very different. can you link the guide?

[kindred fiber]

like they are spells, so would they still be effected by crit buffs that dont specify spells directly

[dusky burrow]

yeah they do, they have crit chance and crit multi just as any spell/attack

[vernal rampart]

yuh https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/witchhunter-galvanic-bigdaddy

[dusky burrow]

where does it mention quarterstaff as a choice?

ah i see

do you have pillar of the caged god?

you basically need that for the quarterstaff setup to work

[vernal rampart]

no 😦

but im gonna get it

[dusky burrow]

right, get to it then

[vernal rampart]

um

is it endgame

[dusky burrow]

unless you get very, very lucky, you would need to trade for it

and you likely dont have the currencies to buy such an item

so... probably not an option for you at the moment.

[vernal rampart]

how much would it be worth

[kindred fiber]

nice so taking spell crit up/damage and crit rate/damage will go hand in hand awesome thank you

[vernal rampart]

u think

[dusky burrow]

its hard to tell, there's a million price fixers

[honest raft]

i thought pillar was just 1 ex?

[vernal rampart]

oh i got that

[dusky burrow]

again, im not sure, it's anywhere from 1-10 ex, idk if i can trust those bottom listings

but ig failed corrupts are cheap

[vernal rampart]

ill check the trade website for one

[dusky burrow]

okay and for the skill, they said tempest flurry, but you cant use it until like mid campaign

you start with glacial cascade

into storm wave / ice strike

into tempest flurry

[vernal rampart]

but once again what do i put in that stormcaller arrow

[dusky burrow]

they all do the same thing basically so its a preference thing

[dusky burrow]

you dont

[vernal rampart]

and i already tempest flurry i just need staff

[dusky burrow]

all tht arrow stuff you dont do it

ignore all that

[vernal rampart]

i meant what do i replace it with

that would go with my build

[dusky burrow]

tempest flurry

and tempest bell

that's it

[vernal rampart]

2 attacks moves on a secondary weapon that I only use to shock for my shockburst rounds

im not really supposed to be useing my staff for dps

[dusky burrow]

oh i see

yeah its just tempest flurry

like i said

or

[vernal rampart]

then i still have a open slot for a move

wait nvm

im dumb

im so dumb

there was no need for this convorsation

[dusky burrow]

yeah

[vernal rampart]

thanks for being so understanding with me lol

ill go check the price for pillar

[dusky burrow]

pillar is always long staff

[vernal rampart]

i was on the poe1 trading mb

lol

[sour pebble]

tfw new players hit you with philosophical mindfuck questions like "what is the difference between a long staff and an iron staff"

[vernal rampart]

bro i was on the poe1 trading website i was confused too

i meant to be on poe2

[dapper storm]

what is the item to upgrade a stat quality that we are choosing?

[dusky burrow]

catalyst?

[sour pebble]

🐈a📋

[dapper storm]

tyy

[vernal rampart]

i had 2 eaxlted but i gambled because im a addict

[dusky burrow]

okay

[vernal rampart]

i could have gotten a good staff 😦

[dusky burrow]

yeah

how do you even gamble 2ex in poe2

[vernal rampart]

idk

i had them and i um used them

welp um

[dusky burrow]

guess you're not going quarterstaff after all

[vernal rampart]

ascensions trials a good spot to look for them?

[dusky burrow]

for what

[vernal rampart]

exs

ik its random

[spark garden]

hey, is poe building still valid for poe2?

[vernal rampart]

but like

[dusky burrow]

there's pob2

its buggy and lots unfinished, but it's out

[dusky burrow]

sure, i guess it's better than some random campaign area

[vernal rampart]

what is that

im not spending irl money

[dusky burrow]

but idk why u dont want to just use a bow to shock

[dusky burrow]

pob2 is free

= path of building 2, it's another app where you can plan builds and calculate stuff

[vernal rampart]

it seems annoying to have to swap shoot shock arrows on the ground and stuff while im fighting a boss

when instead i can just flurry them

[dusky burrow]

sure

it's your choice

[vernal rampart]

your making it sound like its a dumb idea

[vernal rampart]

like caculate probaliltys of spawns and stuff

[dusky burrow]

well, i'm not not doing that.

[dusky burrow]

like dps calculations

and whether you would survive x attack

whether this item or that item would be more dps

[vernal rampart]

its not about dps anyway its about shocking so i would rather shock easier (my opion) then arrows

but like you said its up to the builder

[spark garden]

is there a website i can use to find builds on pob2?

[orchid garden]

which staff should i use? ice build rn

[dusky burrow]

right

right is like twice the base damage

[arctic pumice]

Struggling with Hunin Storm Caller and Mugin the Frostbringer. Hunin is fine, but I can't out damage Mugins health regen as a 29 Lightning Ranger

Any ideas?

[high nova]

price check on Hands of Wisdom and Action? What should I pay for this?

[haughty niche]

#price-check📉

We dont do that

[tidal moat]

yeah we do :3

[haughty niche]

No

Otherwise every new person just spams "pricecheck pls" and throws literal garbage in the chat

Also we dont want to misprice items and be the reason you lose currency

[tidal moat]

profoundly mid angloid peasant phenotype

[haughty niche]

Mispricing is pretty common too

[solar roost]

can i reannoint a amulet?

[safe lance]

yes, it overwrites it

hmm how are people saying anoint when poe2 says instil

[warm marten]

damage damage lol

[high nova]

hey im sorry i didn't realize that. it seems i dont ahve permission to post there

[waxen osprey]

hi, I try to get Exiled Exchange 2 running on Geforce now. It works so far that it copies the item data into the google file and then opens an ingame interface. however it won't give me any price information. I checked the debug log and it shows the following errors:
[02:18:06] error [GameConfig] Failed to find game configuration file in the default location.
[02:18:15] error [Shortcuts] Failed to register a shortcut "F5". It is already registered by another application.
any idea how to fix them?

[wintry oriole]

Question: looking for an invoker ice and lightning expert here... i have ice strike as main dmg skill here but would also like to use tempest flurry too, what support gem do you recommend for that skill to make it stronger

[tulip latch]

Can someone help me kill a boss?

[wintry oriole]

did you try asking in game, if not i can help you but i'm still in act 3 of cruel difficulty of the campaign

[tulip latch]

It’s the act 2 boss at the end iv been trying for an hour lol

Yea no luck in game

[wintry oriole]

ok what's your ign

[tulip latch]

Thxxxxx

Should I put here

[wintry oriole]

you can pm me if you want

[cunning token]

hey how do i know which loot to keep and which to sell?

[craggy gyro]

are items supposed to disappear on the ground after 5 seconds?

[trim turret]

Hit Z.

[kindred fiber]

whats the best spot to farm xp in act1?

[honest raft]

why though

just go to act 2

[craggy gyro]

console

[unkempt frost]

under Options > interface > "always highlight" under gameplay fixed it for me

[craggy gyro]

on console?

[unkempt frost]

PC but using controller

[craggy gyro]

i don’t have an interface tab

wait i found it.

[unkempt frost]

👀

[trim turret]

Wear gear that improves your life and resists, get movement speed on boots, and a weapon that improves your damage. Salvage, disenchant, or sell anything else you pick up but won't use.

[unkempt frost]

yea my resistances are crap atm

[craggy gyro]

that fixed it bro ty

[rustic wraith]

For Mercenary is there a support gem that speeds up the reload time?

[craggy gyro]

i’m new to these kinds of games. can someone offer me some build assistance

[topaz junco]

If you have a specific question or dont understand something sure

but questions like "what skill is good" is abstract cause they're all good

[honest raft]

guys at what point in the game is 100 exalted pocket change

bc i just accidentally lost it all (i originally gained it from a lucky stellar amulet drop) and im super depressed

[trim turret]

What do you mean you accidentally lost it all?

[trim turret]

Nimble reload but it might be a tier 3.

[craggy gyro]

i just don’t really understand what direction to go in on the tree on monk.

[serene egret]

hey I have a friend who is pretty deep into the end game but one of the passive bosses ( The Bog witch) won't drop his +2 to his skill tree has anyone else had this happen to them?

[craggy gyro]

i’m level 21 right now and what i have works, i just have no idea what im doing

[honest raft]

i got scammed doing some dumb trades that i shouldnt even be doing before i finish campaign

[honest raft]

follow guide online

[craggy gyro]

why is this bar green? did it allocate to one of my weapon sets?

[kindred fiber]

is there somewhere taht I can see what my overall stat for crit and stuff are or do i just math that out myslef?

[cerulean zephyr]

if you open up the info popout panel for a skill from your skills menu, it will show you final modified stats for that skill

(and for character stats, the character panel shows final modified values)

[kindred fiber]

thank you lemme try tahat

[trim turret]

Looks like it. You cam refund at the hooded one.

[opaque stone]

Pretty sure if the point from the other weapon set isnt allocated you can just overwrite it

[spark garden]

which guides do I trust the most for builds or which websites?

[serene egret]

why isn't she crossed out? I have killed her like 6 times....

[ember tapir]

bug

[frozen igloo]

im on ssf on act 2 so i cant trade for better equipment how can i get a bunch of base items quickly?

[scarlet sorrel]

is demon witch any fun or interesting? trying to decide if I actually want to suffer through the campaign again to try to see if something else is more fun or if I should just stop playing until we get something new in a few months

[scarlet sorrel]

dont play ssf?

[tough linden]

What is SSF?

[scarlet sorrel]

self torture

[safe lance]

solo self found

[scarlet sorrel]

some peopel are into it

[frozen igloo]

but its fun tho

[ancient walrus]

can some1 explain this to me pls? If it cannot generate frenzy charges, how do i generate a frenzy charge to consume?

[scarlet sorrel]

lol how hard are you trying to convince yourself of that 😂

[tough linden]

Is the ccrossbow class any good? Getting a bit bored with minion summoner

[safe lance]

crossbow not tied to a class

[tough linden]

Who is the ranged class is it the mercenary?

[scarlet sorrel]

yet you know what he means

[safe lance]

range also not tried to class btw

[trim turret]

Thematically, ranger, mercenary, sorceress.

[safe lance]

merc becomes either witchunter or gemling and the best gemling build is a quarterstaff build atm

[tough linden]

What is gemling

[trim turret]

There are other skills that can generate them, like combat frenzy.

[safe lance]

it is a human that has gem powers, he also sockets some gems into his flesh

Merc ascends and becomes either witchhunter or gemling legionnaire

I could be wrong but maybe deadeye is the best xbow user now right?

[ancient walrus]

ty

[trim turret]

Shit, deadeye is good for projectile spell builds also.

[safe lance]

As in oh shit or deadeye xbow is shit?

I made a ranger on day 1 to play xbow with mult projectiles, I didnt realized the game was gonna be paced like this and gave up and went bow in act 2.

[sudden vault]

In the Ultimatum runs, when the modifiers says "Monsters get XYZ" does that include the bosses, or just the regular monsters?

[trim turret]

Bosses are monsters.

[trim turret]

No like oh shit. I'm sure crossbow deadeye could be baller.

[safe lance]

yea I thought I had a secret plan and thought I was onto something. Maybe I was but I think I just sucked at this version of poe.

I saw ds lily also playing deadeye with xbow but I think she gave up on it? not sure, didnt keep up

It is also a bit underwhelming compared to multiple projectiles support tho

1 extra proj and you get it after 2nd ascendancy trial the earliest

[bitter kite]

as you go up in tiers gear wise, the better the states are right?

[pine finch]

yes, the highest modifier tiers can only appear on items with high item level

[bitter kite]

thank you

[ancient walrus]

does chaos inoculation make you count as full health and low health

[pine finch]

you can look here which item lvl you need for which modifier tier https://poe2db.tw/

[topaz junco]

1/1 is full life

You just have a small hp pool

[ancient walrus]

dang, ty

[topaz junco]

“Low life” is 35% or less of your max hp pool

[ancient walrus]

is there anything in the skill tree to make you perma low life?

[topaz junco]

I don’t believe so

[ancient walrus]

ty

[somber ermine]

any one in act 3 cruel and wanna join up? I just finished the Matlan Waterway

oops

[neat spire]

guys is this difference super noticeable? talking about armour and evasion, one is prices 100x the other 1d

[sinful glacier]

Man Azsapa is a pain to farm. 2 in 34 runs

[steady jasper]

can someone pls give me regular campagin aggrot checkpoint?

[pine finch]

I wouldnt pay 150+ ex for that 37% increase

[neat spire]

wdym 150, isnt divs like 310?

oh shit they went DOWN

[sinful glacier]

for now

I am just atm stocking up on Chaos orbs instead. They seem to be the most stable currency rn

[neat spire]

u think they'll go back to 300ish? i was about to rebuild

[sinful glacier]

Wait a day or two and watch the market. Chances are that they now stabalised like last big rise (new year)

[tardy wing]

Can someone help me with this boss? I get him to like 10% health and he destroys me. Colosuss his name is i think

[robust bluff]

The less the better, am i right?

[half niche]

guys how to see all branch hand in minimaps, so i not walking around again for search

[pine finch]

you cant, the distance it shows is increased by light radius but lets not go there

you can use a loot filter, drop something on the map that has a mark on the mini map

see it from a bit further away

[half niche]

ok thanks, so i just can mark right?

thanks

[blissful helm]

Does the shield need to be active or can I just wear it as secondary weapon set? I'm going to assume the shield needs to be active.

Ok well it says it right there. Equipped shield.

lol

[sturdy sedge]

Charge infusion counts as consuming a charge for the purposes of stuff like this right?

yes it says consumes one of each charge but y'never know lol

[prime bane]

Yes, it consumes it's own charge as well

So you gain 15% crit chance while you HAVE a charge, and when you consume a power charge you gain the 20% bonus crit damage

[fiery pasture]

why are artificers shards worth more than artificers orbs?

[opaque stone]

Only from the Infernalist ascendancy

And then to have it actually be comfortable you need to equip Coward's Legacy to make you count as low life while at 75% Life

[clever geode]

#2┃after-acts-help

[clever geode]

cause people are dumb if they buy shards

[glossy wedge]

How do I zoom the minimap out I zoomed it in and idk what I pressed

[honest raft]

how do djinn baryas work? can you use them whilst underleveld? for instance level 40 going into a level 50 area level trial

[craggy gyro]

Is Warrior worth playing yet? I’m really bored of the Lightning deadeye

Did they Fix Warrior yet?😂

[formal haven]

So you lose the progress you make uncovering the map each time you revisit an area?

[honest raft]

only if you dont go in for too long

a quick trip back to stash your loot is fine

[craggy gyro]

Every mapping build is too damn expensive. wtf. People don’t have the time or resources to gather the amount of exalts people want for gear.

[strong mural]

[sacred light]

truly an untaintable paradice

[hearty tundra]

In the support gemcutting menu, is there any way to know if gems are compatible if you're looking at all gems? I wish it had a small compatibility list at the side of the description.

Something like this would be awesome in the all gems page.

[native crane]

Btw, should i spend the 300 coins on something in the store or it doesn't really matter?

[hearty tundra]

look into getting some stash tabs

but get em when theyre on sale

[native crane]

Got it

[hearty tundra]

im new to the game and currency stash tabs help organize stuff a lot

some people might think gem stashes are kind of a waste but i like em

[formal haven]

Anyone else have major network connection issues? Just started playing today and the game pauses every 10 seconds. I changed region to one closest to me but it's not any better

[hearty tundra]

how long are the pauses?

[maiden moat]

hi i am new to the path of exile 1 can any one help with the game i am in starting phase and any indian players plz dm me

[unborn dust]

U can click on the gem and then uncheck the "reccomended gems" box.. it will show all the compatible ones with that skill

[hearty tundra]

i'll give it a shot

[unborn dust]

it does helps, but i guess the pop up window just like in our inventory would be better.. still unchecking the box should help for now

[tidal moat]

when warrior buffs

[honest raft]

never

[vital silo]

is there a way to channel incinerate and move with mouse click without interrupting channeling?
or is this only possible moving with WASD?

[hearty tundra]

Is there a way I can see my shock chance? Couldn't find it on the skill info or my character page.

[foggy birch]

nno u gotta test it by hitting mobs

bosses

[formal haven]

Pauses are about 3-5 seconds

[hearty tundra]

yikes thats bad

i only had like half a second hitches when i first started playing. but now its fine

[formal haven]

I guess I'll try tomorrow 🫠

[sturdy sedge]

Is there a simple way for invoker to generate endurance charges? (need to generate them to convert them into frenzy)

[meager galleon]

not many sources for endurance charges in the game yet

i think its only the support that gives you endurance when you break armor

[plush mantle]

Resonance converts power charges into Frenzy, not endurance. Are you using something else?

[meager galleon]

other way

its frenzy into power
power into end

end into frenzy

[plush mantle]

Magma Barrier (block while active) and Break Endurance (armor break) are it

I shouldn't try to read node descriptions at 1am obviously 🙂

[sturdy sedge]

yeah figured that was the only real way atm but cba working out breaking armour on bosses with my current setup

[plush mantle]

resonating shield and wait 5 min 😉

[sturdy sedge]

there was a way to target my own minions as a corpse, what was that called? Can't find it anywhere now lol

[meager galleon]

we just need to wait for more content, theres like half the skills missing ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[meager galleon]

there should be a hotkey for corpse targetting

dunno what it is in poe2, didnt check

[sturdy sedge]

well there was a way of weapon swapping onto a scepter so it would summon minions

weapon swapping back and then using profane ritual

to generate charges during bosses

but minions dont leave a corpse when weapon swapping like that

I just can't remember what the missing piece of the setup was lol

[plush mantle]

Sacrifice spirit gem

[sturdy sedge]

ah fuck, you're right

60 spirit and a gem slot on that I think not

[hearty tundra]

Is it just me or does this unique fall off by the end of act 2?

It was super fun using it in act 1. But I'm at the beginning of act 3 and a barely decent rare crossbow seems wayy more effective.

[daring dragon]

That's correct

It's only good for early lvling

[fathom cave]

hello, is the titan grotto boss bugged out?

[hearty tundra]

dang

[fathom cave]

Zalmarath

[jade notch]

during some attacks he is untargetable

but after u have bonked him for 5 minutes, he usually falls over

[daring dragon]

He can be janky at times yes

[reef stirrup]

hello why isn't my HoI procing consistently?

[hearty tundra]

i guess it would be op if it scaled throughout the entire campaign?

[jade notch]

playing SSF with janky gear is the real grind. i think i died 15 times on djinn boss in act 2.

[azure lava]

You're likely not killing frozen enemies consistently

[reef stirrup]

i pair my HoT with HoI

[azure lava]

I feel like the balbala fight is a check to see if you have movement speed on your boots

[reef stirrup]

so doesn't HoT freeze?

[fathom cave]

i see now he has long transitioning phases for some reason.

[azure lava]

No, Herald of thunder does no cold damage by default

[reef stirrup]

i make it do cold dmg

[azure lava]

Heralds don't add damage to attacks in poe2

[reef stirrup]

and my ice does lightning dmg

[azure lava]

Cold infusion?

[reef stirrup]

yes

should i tell u what links i have for my heralds?

[azure lava]

Then it sounds like they're too low level and/or you don't have enough increased cold damage/freeze buildup

Are you freezing and/or shocking consistently with your main skill(s)?

[jade notch]

i switched passive tree to get +500 energy shield to beat djinn
then i died 5 times to the butcher like boss before the water godess, cause the burning ground has eaten up all the energy shield i specced into.
so i slammed like 70% fire resistance on to beat that boss. which is kinda weird but hilarious.

and now my witch is using quarterstaff ice strike just cause one good staff dropped and now im blasting again ^^

[azure lava]

You need to freeze or shock something to start the chain reaction

[azure lava]

I think getting resistances to succeed in the campaign is the polar opposite of weird. Resistances are a vital piece of your survival. And personally I think energy shield is pretty useless during the campaign if you don't have a way to restore it.

Here's what I suggest for gearing in the campaign (and it's ssf friendly): https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

[jade notch]

i played minions before so ES was okay. not with quarterstaff its useless yeah. so i got some evasion gear rolling

im back to feeling the "pain" when i first rolled warbringer 2 months ago in trade league

[azure lava]

I don't think quarterstaff inherently makes ES useless. I think not having grim feast or temporal rift makes it useless in the campaign. Life and resistances are going to do so much more for you than evasion, armor, or es. At least in the campaign

[jade notch]

that was my first SSF intention aswell, stacking up lofs of life and life reg cause i was really missing those back in the day on the warbringer when boss fights are taking 5 minutes

[azure lava]

I don't think you'll need regen nearly as much as you imagine if you get resists

Movement speed on boots > life and resists >>> literally every other stat on non-weapons

[jade notch]

[warped copper]

is there anything else than boots that give mobility?

[meager galleon]

there is the queen of the forest unique chest

and i some nodes on the passive tree give a bit of move speed

[hearty tundra]

Why would it recommend a support gem that can't even be socketed??

[rotund parcel]

click the all gems

[jade notch]

thrillsteel unique helmet gives you onslaught
thats +20% skill speed and +10% movementspeed

if you are playing with a shield, you can spec into the passive node parrying motion which gives u additional movementspeed whenever you block, for a small time frame

[hearty tundra]

yeah it doesnt appear when you tick off the recommendation

weird

[rotund dirge]

does broken armour increase dps as phys attacker or is that status only there to proc exploit weakness & armour explosion?

[noble lantern]

how hard is rathbreaker supposed to be im getting one shot and i cant get him lower then half hp

[fathom abyss]

He can be difficult, do you want help

[noble lantern]

yes lol

[fathom abyss]

What's you in game name

[noble lantern]

Ibannedteemo

[carmine olive]

How high is the chance of getting a Group Self-Found mode? zero?

[weak jasper]

pretty much zero, private leagues serve the same purpose (are they in poe2 yet? if not, they will be)

don't seem to be in poe2 yet, but they are in poe1 and are pretty much 100% certain to be in poe2 at some point

https://www.pathofexile.com/private-leagues/create how it looks for poe 1

[jade trellis]

why are the curse acts so easy lol

[fathom abyss]

Because you're stronger

And they are only a placeholder

For acts 4, 5 and 6

[wintry tangle]

is it a horrible bad idea to corrupt a thief's torment?

[fathom abyss]

Never a bad item

Might just go wrong

[wintry tangle]

yeah but corrupting it removes chance to use catalysts on it?

or there isn't a point to it?

[fathom abyss]

Use the Catalyst first

[wintry tangle]

what are good ones for it

doesn't do any damage extras...

[fathom abyss]

It isn't worth anything anyway

[long sequoia]

what does this mean?

[foggy birch]

if u consume a power charge

it will count as 2

everytime u consume a power charge u get extra lighting dmg /chharged staff)

[wooden crane]

With trading do you just invite to party after you whisper them

[junior jewel]

i literally cannot get herald of thunder to reappear ever since i initially got it

[fathom abyss]

Yeah

[shut abyss]

you whisper
they invite
you go to them
they trade

[wooden crane]

Dam keep getting ignored

[fathom abyss]

That happens

[young pollen]

yo guys, is it possible to have my Blink active only for weapon slot 2? lemme elaborate - I'm playing minions and have a cooldown reduction Shield in weapon 2. the ideal scenario would be having Blink turned OFF in my main slot so I don't waste 60 Spirit and retain the ability to dodge roll with my main set and then blink to travel between mob packs via a quick weapon swap. Is this even possible w/o Blink being perma-active?

[wooden crane]

Bit pointless to put offers up

[fathom abyss]

Yeah it's possible

[young pollen]

Could you plz explain how? I can't figure it out

do I need to throw the Blink gem somewhere else or smth

[fathom abyss]

Click on skill options and untick 1

[next steppe]

what's a good corrupted implicit for pillar?

[lament stone]

heralds are spirit gems, not skill gems

[young pollen]

damn, thanks a lot brother! really a game-changer

[junior jewel]

and the way to upgrade those is different

[craggy gyro]

buy?

[lament stone]

yes, you need an uncut spirit gem, which are a lot rarer than uncut skill gems

[junior jewel]

ahh got it thanks man

[marble beacon]

Could anyone carry me through all 4 ascendancy trials

[nimble pasture]

Guys i'm lost I wanted to try cast on gems and I wanted to try this one but it's not working as I expected.

I'm tryna cast it on Comet, comet is 2 seconds so 200 energy needed for the cast.

The boosts are :
-30% Increased energy gained from the gem itself
-40% increased energy gained from supported skill gem

You gain 1 Energy per 5 energy shield lost, so 1000 energy shield lost for comet, and it's supposed to be 300 to reach 100% of required energy.

Issue is i'm currently at 100% energy and no spell is being cast :C
And the other issue is it took me 1200 energy shield loss to reach 100

What's the issue ? (I already tried cast on frezze and it was working well)

[lament stone]

#2┃looking-for-group altho people may normally ask for some divine orbs as payment for carrying you though that

[lament stone]

you need to manually cast barrier invocation

[nimble pasture]

(Just saw it's a trigger spell), so that solves the first question

[marble beacon]

Damn i have some div that won't be a problem

[nimble pasture]

Yeah but what about the % gained ?

[lone shadow]

can someone help me with jamanra?

[lament stone]

you can see in the advanced info exactly how much energy is needed for 1 trigger

[nimble pasture]

Cant find it sorry where is it ?

[topaz junco]

#2┃looking-for-group for that please

[lone shadow]

mb

[lament stone]

select barrier invocation and click the arrow which is next to where the dps number is/normally would be

[nimble pasture]

IT's not written but it shows what's the exact cast time

1.45s

So I actually need only 140 energy to trigger the spell

[lament stone]

if you click on the barrier invocation gem on that menu it should tell you the exact energy

[lament stone]

i guess not, maybe barrier invocation is different

[nimble sinew]

Yo waddup dweebs

[nimble pasture]

155 energy shield lost -> 10% energy for the socketed spell

[nimble sinew]

I return from my forced exile

[nimble pasture]

I'm supposed to have 52 energy gained and so 30% energy ? No ?

[nimble sinew]

You cannot silence me forever

[nimble sinew]

No

[nimble pasture]

?

[lament stone]

it has a max of 500 energy, so 155 es lost (31) x1.7 for your energy gained multiplier is 52 energy, 52 is 10% of 500

[nimble sinew]

@nimble pasture ya no

[nimble pasture]

Oh i see

[long sequoia]

uhhh so like, there's no matlan waterways in my map...? in act 3 cruel

[lament stone]

the max energy limit on that skill is not the same as the energy you would need to be able to cast that skill

[nimble pasture]

So i'm supposed to be able to cast at 31% right ?

[lament stone]

if you have enough energy you could trigger it multiple times

[long sequoia]

quest symbol but no quest here too

[nimble sinew]

Destroyed. Sucks to suck

[nimble pasture]

Let me stack to 100%

[lament stone]

yea, at whatever point would give you enough energy to trigger the skill you have socketed

[nimble sinew]

Welcome to end of your poe road

[young plaza]

Click on the corpse

[long sequoia]

i did, multiple times

[young plaza]

Try clearing inventory

[nimble sinew]

Unlucky bug. No more poe

[nimble pasture]

So I have 100%, i cast the spell and now i'm at 40%, so 60% consumed xd

[nimble sinew]

For you. I will still play

[long sequoia]

damn this mf funny asf 😭

[nimble pasture]

I thought it was bc it's comet, so 1.45 cast time + 1 second, but the maths doesnt add up to 60%

[long sequoia]

alright thanks

[nimble sinew]

Yes. True

[lament stone]

how many comets did you see?

[nimble pasture]

One

And the damage of one comet too

And I can't cast below 60% energy

[nimble sinew]

I disagree

[storm atlas]

I am getting rekt in past utzal. what kind of damage do monsters do there?

[lament stone]

do you have enough mana?

[lament stone]

what damage type they do doesnt matter as long as you have good life and elemental resistances

[nimble pasture]

I think so, I have 1k

[distant briar]

is this worth the price?

[glacial palm]

It's a common difficulty jump for most players, and you've got a variety of damage that contributes to it

[cursive bluff]

would fast forward skill gem make contagion skill do same damage just over a shorter time or does the damage ticks stay at same rate but total amount is reduced?

[glacial palm]

Honestly your best approach at that point is to not pull too many if you're having trouble, and make sure your main defensive areas (life and your defense of choice) are up to date.
Good portion of it is physical and chaos, which most players won't have strong resistance to in act 3 normal.

[lament stone]

the damage ticks are at the same rate, but the duration would be reduced

[cursive bluff]

so yeah its a negative. damn

[glacial palm]

I would assume the same, sadly. We have skills that say they make damage over time effects deal damage faster

[storm atlas]

I've tried to swap for more armor and did not feel any difference. chaos res is 0 though

[glacial palm]

Unless it says the explicitly, I would avoid hoping it does 🙁

[glacial palm]

Yep, I almost didn't say the damage types because I don't want you to think like this

[lament stone]

if you want the damage to be dealt faster you would need something like "bleeding deals damage 10% faster"

[glacial palm]

You're not going to stack enough resistances for most of the damage here to be impactful.

[lament stone]

life

[glacial palm]

Focus on the other stuff I mentioned (life, global defenses, more careful progression)

[lament stone]

armour isnt going to do much against big hits

[nimble pasture]

Welp I guess the spell is broken then

[lament stone]

armour/evasion/energy shield in general are just lower priority stats than life/elemental resistances

by utzaal you want to have at least 1k life

[storm atlas]

i have 900

[lament stone]

then it just comes down to damage, theres not much you can do defensively if you have good life and good elemental resists

killing things before they can kill you, not letting enemies swarm you

[storm atlas]

my damage is not bad either i oneshot white mobs and two shot blues

resists are allright 51/67/72

[cursive bluff]

quality doesnt do anything for wands/scepters/staffs does it?

[lament stone]

quality on caster weapons is supposed to give quality to the skills granted by that weapon but its bugged, idk if its just not displaying or if it doesnt work at all

[glacial palm]

Last I checked it worked, I'll try checking some more obvious spells

[cursive bluff]

weird they chose that direction compared to poe1 where you could bench to convert to ele damage

[glacial palm]

Last time I checked was chaos bolt, which is increased projectile speed, so it was more "looks about right" lol

[lament stone]

how else would you add quality to the skill on the weapon?

[cursive bluff]

GCP XD

[long sequoia]

should i just take this since the plan is to go attribute stacker monk in endgame (with CI)?

[lament stone]

yea

chaos res if you wont go ci, attributes if you will, the 3rd option probably isnt that good if i cant remember what it is

[long sequoia]

thanks!

[cursive bluff]

is evasion a straight up 100% damage mitigation? or does it work somewhat like block?

[glacial palm]

Can we talk about adding quality to ascendancy skills yet? 😭
||I'm going to assume it's for enhance support being added in the future.||

[lament stone]

you can click on any underlined words to read exactly what they mean

[cursive bluff]

is there a cap for evasion?

[lament stone]

95%, and the way it works guarantees that you will get hit every so often

altho by default, only melee strikes and projectiles can be evaded

nothing else

[lament stone]

gemling ascendancy adds quality to skills, so yea probably more ways to get skill quality in future which is why it exists on ascendancy skills

[glacial palm]

Evasion is a bit long for me to give a full explanation on mobile.
Short (super simplified explanation) is higher values will allow you to more reliably "evade" hits for longer, but you will definitely get hit eventually.

[cursive bluff]

yeah im not new to the game just a spellcaster even in poe1 i wasnt much of one so evasion/ES as a whole is a new concept but it didnt say a cap like block did

[glacial palm]

Right, didn't mention it because of all the non-gemling ascendancies that have skills with quality. They won't be going gemling anytime soon lol

[long sequoia]

How do you make a map fully reset? I have very two small maps left and i completed one of them before the main could reset(it's bugged a lot)

[cursive bluff]

so what ways are there (for witch if applicable) can you shorten then length of DOT effects without losing out on its total dps? just shorten how long its on the enemy?

[long sequoia]

Do i just afk?

[glacial palm]

Very few effects that I know of.

[lament stone]

what maps do you mean?

[glacial palm]

Most effects are just flat duration reduction or dealing damage over time faster.

[long sequoia]

act map, jungle ruin to be exact

[storm atlas]

why is it so difficult to go to a vendor while in past utzaal

[long sequoia]

bugged quest marker + no matlan waterway in it

act 3 cruel

[lament stone]

matlan waterway is right next to the waypoint

you need to walk across the ditch you drained after placing the large soul core

[cursive bluff]

damage over time faster i think is what im after. i like contagion atm but takes too long to do the damage over time but the damage it does do is good lol

[glacial palm]

Yeah, contagion isn't necessarily meant to be the damage dealer on its own

[lament stone]

afaik theres no way to make that do damage faster

[glacial palm]

Combined with essence drain it is much more potent

[long sequoia]

oh wait, my bad, the matlan waterway is in.. infested barrens i think..? but the quest marker to summon serve for the dead corpse is still not gone

and I'm not sure if the quest counts as done or not

[storm atlas]

while at the same time you get full inventory of quest items

[glacial palm]

But to answer your question, there's some passives on the dex side of the tree. Just from memory though, think that might specifically be "damaging ailments"?

[lament stone]

contagion is not an ailment

[glacial palm]

We have almost (maybe no?) generic "Damage over time" effects this go around.
I've heard of a jewel modifier, not seen it though

[lament stone]

contagin is a damage over time skill

[glacial palm]

Which is why I mentioned that.

[cursive bluff]

im planning on doing more of a zoomancer i just like to be able to cast something and having a point and click DOT while i run to dodge stuff is ideal but only level 12 so gems and supps are few and far between lol

[glacial palm]

Thank you for reiterating.

[glacial palm]

Closest you'll get to this behavior is something like hexbloom+decaying+despair

[lament stone]

contagion wouldnt work in a minion build tbh

[glacial palm]

Nowhere near the performance of Ed+Contag though

[lament stone]

you need to many different sources of damage scaling

bonestorm is explicitly designed to be used with minions

[cursive bluff]

im using upheval and it revives minions with contagion on them which looks to spread that contagion to enemies ive not cast a contagion on or near

[topaz junco]

UM ACTUALLY CONTAGION UNEARTH (don’t do it. It’s horrid)

[cursive bluff]

lul

[glacial palm]

Honestly unearth was fun early in my dot build lol

But the minions also did zero damage, they were just a wall of meat

[cursive bluff]

those minions are more impactful than the skele warriors and snipers lol

[lament stone]

basically all the physical spell skills are designed around minions

[cursive bluff]

dont fancy doing fire so not interested in the bomb ones

[glacial palm]

Yeah, that's a low bar though lol

[cursive bluff]

poison and contagion both "chaos" so at least for early game its doing its job lol

im sure ill change mid way through thats what i did with my warrior lol

[tardy wasp]

Is it just me or is the difficulty of Trial of Chaos a little insane? the recommended level is 38 but that seems ridiculously low

[cursive bluff]

chaos is RNG at least for me. if you get some options that dont really affect your build you can do it somewhat easily

[hearty tundra]

Does non-hardcord SSF have the currency exchange?

might be a dumb question lmao

[lament stone]

no

ssf means no interacting with other players

that includes the currency exchange

[glacial palm]

Honestly, fair question

[hearty tundra]

i thought currency exchange was just set by devs or somethin oof

[lament stone]

yea trial of chaos can be pretty brutal

[glacial palm]

SSF used to have vendors to trade up/down currency

Now they don't really have any way to do that

[hearty tundra]

damn i didnt know the currency was player driven too

[tardy wasp]

I've attempted the first 4 floors at least 40 times yesterday. I know exactly which options are best for me. I'll get lucky and make it to the boss, just for it to one shot me or trap me in an unending ice/fire/poison trap until i run out of flasks

[hearty tundra]

yeah i left and came back like 10 levels later

i think i did it after beating act 3 entirely?

[hearty tundra]

40 times is craaazyy

[copper basin]

That tornado bird is disgusting if you dont one shot him

I put my glasses on and can barely see his night time atks

[gentle flower]

Is there someone who knows about to "programing" the item filter in Poe2?

[spark garden]

hello guys, can you recommend me websites or people that provide decent builds?

[wanton knoll]

cant fint the last ritual altar

[lament stone]

top left

[long sequoia]

oh

mb

[wanton knoll]

ohh mb HAHAHAH

im legally blind tho

ahahahah

thanks

[raven relic]

change your map overlayer so u dont see so much terrain than u never have this problem

[tiny scroll]

is there a way to toggle the visibility of your helmet? this tribal mask looks suck! 😦

[raven relic]

ye by using a cosmetic xD

[viscid owl]

Anyone got an idea of what stash tabs are more of a priority to buy?

[raven relic]

id say 1# currency 2# would be Premium to sell items and everything after that is bonus given we dont have the Waystone tab yet

[viscid owl]

Fairs, thanks

[raven relic]

having 1-2 quad tabs are always huge

[meager flower]

I need some advice on what could be the last support gem in my Charged Staff.
At the moment I have Perpetual Charge, Electrocute, Culling Strike, Persistence and I have 1 more empty slot

[viscid owl]

you reckon its better to get a premium quad stash tab over 6x premium tabs?

[meager flower]

It's about the same value. Small tabs limit you on the edges which decreases their value and make them comparable with quads. Plus, nobody likes to scroll throgh 55 different tabs

But if you can only get 1 purchase, I would still recommend 6 tabs

[dry tartan]

Why won’t loot filters work for me on PS5

[viscid owl]

Fair enough

[meager flower]

If you know your budget is not tighter than a nun's panty, then go ahead with quads

[viscid owl]

yeah atm it is either one or the other. new to poe so before spending money other than buying ea, im holding off for a sec

[meager flower]

You should watch a youtube video, console filters are quite new but they do work, you must have done something different

[meager flower]

Yes but, are you usually the type that spends some money on the game you like?

[viscid owl]

yessir, especially if im going to be spending time playing it.

[meager flower]

2 advices then. Instead of buying straight up points, buy supporter packs. Same cost, same amount of points, extra stuff which you can later pair with other stuff for epic graphics. Plus forum badges if you ever want to bling 😉

Go for the quads. I cheapened out and ended up buying 24 small tabs before getting 4 quads. It doesn't bother me that much... But I have been waiting for YEAAARS for these idiots to release a possibility to upgrade small to quad.

32 small tabs actually 😬

[viscid owl]

Fair enough, thanks for the help!

[round flume]

Can anyone explain the Scourge of the Skies (1st boss of ToC) mechanic that follows you?

[sage hemlock]

i'm infernalist if i want to play comet build what level should i to do this build.

[meager flower]

Also, get a currency tab and a gem tab. You'll see why

[round flume]

That is honestly the first boss in the game where I go "wtf even happened"

[lament stone]

what comet build?

[sage hemlock]

the demon from build

[viscid owl]

already got them

[lament stone]

theres like 100 ways to do comet on demon form

im just trying to figure out if youre trying to copy one of the crazy comet builds from a few weeks ago which dont work anymore because the bugs they abused have been fixed

[meager flower]

Instead of "you'll see why" I thought maybe I should actually tell you. When you dump stuff in your stash to clear out, you hold CTRL or Shift, or whatever you decided to set, and click on stuff. All gems and currency will automatically go to their respective tabs, without you having to swap between tabs. It's not just saving time, but it's sanity preserving.
On that note, right click on premium tabs and you'll see you have a similar (but less well developed) feature where you automatically send items according to what you set.

[viscid owl]

its all good, i realised how good the item specific tabs were when i got the currency one, coming from the likes of diablo its a real nice qol to have things sort so easily.
