[versed spear]

you think 1 paragraph is a lot of text? Feels bad man

[meager flower]

That's ok

[copper basin]

Its a joke

[meager flower]

I'm just keen to offer the info I have as a roundabout way of thanking for the info I ask as well

[viscid owl]

nah man it is all appreciated. like i said, brand new to Path of exile in general and one things for sure, it aint somthing quick to pick up on.

[scarlet sorrel]

any specific build that would be good for speeding through campaign again on a witch

[restive turret]

Is there a site where I can see all aplicable support gems for a spell?

[meager flower]

Yes. This is where I look at what options I have for Charged Staff

Ty

[tired niche]

why did my DPS drop from 11k to 4k when i switch from Rare armor to Unique armor? In fact, shouldnt DPS increase?

[raven relic]

recommend swapping to that after acts running acts with minions is pretty quick

[raven relic]

mby u did not have enough strength for items ?

[tired niche]

its the unique that gives me strength. I was wearing the rare armor that gives me 11k dps. my Spirit is already at 100 for archmage

[molten iris]

cant say for sure without knowing the rest of your skills

[austere ridge]

what is rememblancing stand for?

[lament stone]

youre losing spirit when you swap to the unique

but also, unique does not mean good

that specific unique disables life regen, making it recharge instead, and recharge cannot start unless you havent taken damage in the last 4 seconds

neither of those are too good imo

something with life and elemental resistances is much much better

[steady bone]

wrong chat ..

[real glade]

I looted a chaos orb in Cruel 1, do you guys think I can trade it for some decent gear? I am a crossbow user and struggling a bit :/

[lament stone]

chaos orbs arent worth anything in poe2

exalts are the standard trading currency

[real glade]

I thought chaos orbs were more valuable

[lament stone]

not in poe2

in poe1 chaos orbs are the standard trading currency

the difference is that chaos orbs are just less useful in poe2

[real glade]

I think you're wrong

[lament stone]

chaos orbs are used for bench crafting in poe1

[normal ibex]

you are the one who asked, and you dont like the answer!

[lament stone]

in poe2 their only use is gambling on your item which has a very high chance of just making it worse

so chaos orbs arent very valuable in poe2

[normal ibex]

but check the bulk trading to check currency values

[real glade]

I saw every streamer react to Elon Musk ignoring a chaos orb on the ground and they all yelled at him for ignoring it

[lament stone]

you might think theyre valuable, but their value on the trade market tells you how much the playerbase as a whole values them

[lament stone]

that was because elon wasnt using a loot filter to highlight currency, so if he was ignoring chaos orbs who knows what other currency he might be ignoring

[normal ibex]

well, you shoulnt ignore any orbs

[lament stone]

it was also a pretty obvious sign that elon didnt know what he was doing

if he was ignoring currency items

[haughty niche]

I havent played in a while but chaos orbs were 2 ex when i stopped

[sacred agate]

Div is 300 ex now :d So if you havent played in a while

[haughty niche]

Ye on bulk exchange they are 1:1 or worth more

[lament stone]

you can at least get exalts with them

and itll be much easier to find gear trades for exalts than gear trades for chaos

[warped copper]

when should i start adding runes to my gear

[young plaza]

asap

right away, but it's all up to your playstyle

[warped copper]

what about quality thing

[young plaza]

same

personally I'm a fan of taking 1 bit of gear that I know I'm not going to replace for a while at quality it up to 20%. But that's according to the rules of my playstyle

[hard cypress]

If I have more than 3 of something, I will unga bunga that resource a bit

Or if I come close to killing a boss but die at like 10%, I'll just socket stuff for an upgrade

[young plaza]

^^

[errant lance]

did they fixed the crashing issue?

[warped copper]

i do not know if i should stick with a gear

how to decide it

[young plaza]

/lawyer-speak it depends

why are you replacing it ?

[sacred agate]

He is in T15 maps. Been asking similar questions in #2┃after-acts-help

[hard cypress]

Oh they know more than me then lol

[wary summit]

Yall got any settings recommendations to make game run smoother on console

Or look better

[warped copper]

im settling with same items for a long time

[livid shell]

Hi any Singapore player here!? I need sell my path of exile 2 early access key. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi any Singapore player here!? I need sell my path of exile 2 early access key. DM ME THANK

[fringe obsidian]

hm TIL that consoles have graphics settings now. that's weird. I guess I'm a dinosaur

[shut abyss]

number of lights -> low

[hard cypress]

We console players generally get very limited graphic options in games

[wary summit]

What

[fringe obsidian]

the last time I owned a not-nintendo console there wasn't any graphics options lol

[hard cypress]

Its kinda both good and bad

[fringe obsidian]

you just put the disc in and the game worked

[shut abyss]

if it exists on consoles

[hard cypress]

Ha now console gets the classic "Do you want frame rate or things to look very nice"

[fringe obsidian]

wow I really don't like that

but yeah lower light settings. global illumination? PUT IT IN THE GARBAGE

[wary summit]

Dosent sadly

[fringe obsidian]

I see a setting labelled lighting

[wary summit]

2 options

Ig

[fringe obsidian]

take the one without global illumination

[wary summit]

Aight

[shut abyss]

"default adds lights on effects like projectiles" is a huge lag on certain builds

[wary summit]

OMG

that’s instantly so much smoother

Omg

29h in and that’s all

[fringe obsidian]

global illumination is INSANELY punishing

[wary summit]

Jeesh

[fringe obsidian]

it looks great don't get me wrong

[wary summit]

Maybe I can spam flame wall without dripping to 7 frames

[frozen kernel]

Where may I read about the upcoming ascendancies in PoE2 release?
Will there be more?
If so, please link me so I can read.

[safe lance]

No info yet

[shut abyss]

there's only guesses on youtube and such

[boreal hedge]

Is tempest flurry considered a "normal strike"?

[fringe obsidian]

fire effects are notoriously intensive, but it's a whole nother ball game with global illumination on

I'm shocked that's even an option on the consoles

[wary summit]

Preciate that

[royal night]

Should I go Crude bow or wand as a level 34 spark stormweaver?

[hard cypress]

It is considered a strike, not sure where "normal strike" shows up

[boreal hedge]

In the skill tree, odd

Ty

[finite steeple]

wait, lightning dmg can only shock, but can't build up electrocute?

[hard cypress]

What skill is it on the tree ? Just curious

[hard cypress]

True.

You can use a support gem on the skill to make it build up electrocute

[finite steeple]

weird, but cold can do chilled and freeze build up

[hard cypress]

Interesting, thanks

[fringe obsidian]

could it be this?

[hard cypress]

oooooooh

That makes sense

[safe lance]

Ive only played ice strike but it has 2 normal and 1 special

[fringe obsidian]

i do not play staves so I'm a little out of my element

[boreal hedge]

AHHHH

That clears it up

[hard cypress]

Ya its the combo building strikes

[boreal hedge]

Thanks man

[safe lance]

The combo punch

[boreal hedge]

I'm so bad at this game but I can't stop

[hard cypress]

TIL the third strike is slower just before finishing with the fourth strike

[hard cypress]

ONE OF US

[fringe obsidian]

we all started out bad lol

[fringe obsidian]

there's a point where it clicks

[hard cypress]

This was around act 2.5 start when I realized you can just spam tempest flurry instead of the auto attacks for me

[haughty niche]

No info on specifics. There will be 6 more classes, and each class is supposed to have 3 Ascendencies, for a total of 36 ascendencies iirc

[wind burrow]

Hey 1 question. Im lvl 10 monk. And these skills like lighting and ice can i change them at some point in game? Because i would like to be a lightning build like in one of those videos. But i have more ice skills than lightning

[hard cypress]

Sure

You can switch skills at any point.

[wind burrow]

Oh okay. How

[fringe obsidian]

find an uncut skill gem, and craft it into a new skill

[wind burrow]

Oh okay

Thanks

[leaden granite]

Lvl 25 witch in act 2 desert just want to group up pew pew and discord

[hard cypress]

#2┃looking-for-group

[leaden granite]

This is new player help 😝

[fresh mulch]

this charm works on the rare champion you killed to or only after that?

[haughty niche]

yeah not the new player grouping. We just redirect people to there cause theres more people looking to actually play

this channel is mostly focused on answering questions in the acts of poe2

[leaden granite]

Gotcha will do

[hard cypress]

I would like to know this as well

[wind burrow]

Are skill gems permanent if u bind them to something or can i just take it out and put to another skill

[fringe obsidian]

not permanent.

[hard cypress]

You can socket / unsocket skill gems and their support gems.

Its all legos to do whatever you want

[wind burrow]

Got it. (:

[fringe obsidian]

not even your passive tree is permanent. you can redo the whole thing if you have gold

[safe lance]

If you put support gems on a weapon granted skill, you gotta take those out from the weapon or they'll stay with it

[haughty niche]

The only permanent choice in poe1 is the character you start with.

The only permanent choices in poe2 are the character you start with, the ascendency you pick, and one or 2 quest reward choices that they said they want to make a re-pick option for

[wind sequoia]

I searched for armor with over 1100 evasion, this is what it showed me, is there modifiers that are not added to rating total shown?

Body Armour
Evasion Rating: 895
Energy Shield: 353
Item Level: 76
Requires Level 65, 86 Dex, 86 Int
40% increased Armour, Evasion and Energy Shield
+79 to Evasion Rating
+36 to maximum Energy Shield
118% increased Evasion and Energy Shield
+30 to maximum Life
+17% to Fire Resistance
+25 to Stun Threshold
37% reduced Ignite Duration on you

[haughty niche]

an image would be cleaner to read in this case

[fresh mulch]

im not sure if others will answer our question :C

[haughty niche]

The trade site will show items with values assuming you bring them to 20% quality

[hard cypress]

lol I googled it and the general consensus seems to be it applies to the rare you kill

[wind burrow]

Nice

[hard cypress]

Its kinda hard to know for sure since increase in rarity is not easily measurable

[haughty niche]

only AFTER

GGG said they want it to work on the rare monster you kill, but it just doesn't currently

[hard cypress]

So I have to kill a second rare within 1 second for the charm to be sueful ?

[haughty niche]

yes its complete ass

[hard cypress]

...

[haughty niche]

unless my info is out of date. But this is how it worked when i played

They do want it to work the ideal way, it just doesn't yet

[hard cypress]

Damn online forums be coping then, "Otherwise its useless, ggg wouldn't do this" lol

EA shennanigans I guess

[fresh mulch]

great

[fresh mulch]

shit

[fresh mulch]

im reporting GGG griffing

[hard cypress]

lol the swing in emotions

[craggy gyro]

hey guys so Im following a bleed bow build https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/witchhunter-bleed-bow-jaytx?widgets-state=eyJmN2Q4MjEwMi03ZTc3LTRhNDQtYWQyNC0zM2I2N2U4YWU3YmYiOnsiZmlsdGVycyI6eyJhY3RpdmVWYXJpYW50SWQiOiJlYjUyMzk2My03OWYwLTRjY2MtOWEwMC0xMmVlYWMxY2Y0YzUifSwidHlwZW5hbWUiOiJOZ2ZEb2N1bWVudENtV2lkZ2V0Q29udGVudFZhcmlhbnRzVjEifX0

I got to the point in the passive tree where I choose my first +5 attribute but the guide on mobalytics doesnt tell what to pick

it only says +5 Any Attribute

and I have like 3 to choose from

[hard cypress]

See the kind of stats your weapons need and invest in those

So you can meet requirements when you find better ones

[craggy gyro]

so it's DEX ok thanks

[lament stone]

the majority of builds only need attributes to be able to equip gear and skills, so you just pick whatever you need for that

[echo berry]

why sometimes some skills get that red around them?

[sour sparrow]

Does Splinter support skill still working if i have avatar of fire ? 🥺

[trim turret]

Have a support that ancestrally boosts it?

[loud dew]

can you upgrade the skill of a weapon?

[haughty niche]

no

need a new weapon with higher level skill

[trim turret]

No, you aren't dealing any physical damage if you're using avatar of fire.

[sour sparrow]

Ty

[plucky cloud]

i give up my flicker strike is just stuck on 16k when its supposed to be way more spent 10div on gear got the correct gems spirit everything (still 1 shot stuff) but it doesnt display the correct damage when it does for the youtube guide id been watching

[haughty niche]

dps tooltip doesn't mean shit

also level 15 skill, probably better off in #2┃after-acts-help

[plucky cloud]

its been giving me a nightmare xD

[haughty niche]

ignore dps tooltip

[plucky cloud]

kk

[haughty niche]

its not accurate after like act 1

especially with conditionals on debuffs/buffs/charges/etc

[plucky cloud]

thank you i been watching it so closely thinking why the hell isnt it going up

[haughty niche]

when you swap out a weapon it might have a tiny bit of use seeing if dps tooltip goes up or down but even then i don't really trust it

[wide canopy]

best servi reward?

chaos res/+5 to atr/15% reduced slow ?

[haughty niche]

imo take chaos res unless you will be going chaos innoculation keystone on the tree

[wary summit]

does loot filter not work on console? all the youtubers say we dont have it but i just checked my settings and its there

[jovial ferry]

where can i get this skill from its not in the normal gems nor the spirit

[tribal patio]

does this apply to bosses

[indigo badge]

Chiming staff

[daring night]

Two hand staff

[jovial ferry]

ty guess i didnt drop that staff before

[hard cypress]

They patched it in recently, the videos are older

[wary summit]

got it

so it just makes it so the loot that u dont want (based off ur filter) dosent even drop?

i assume

[indigo badge]

It drops you just don't see it.

[haughty niche]

it disables the highlights/labels for the weaker bases

and highlights good ones extra strong

[indigo badge]

[haughty niche]

https://www.pathofexile.com/item-filter/ladder/follower
You can use this on console very easily without needing to do filter creation/shenanigans. I use the neversink defaults anyway.

Just select the game type in the top right and follow some neversink ones, then they will show up in options in game

[tame loom]

What killed me? Is this an affix on rares only? I don't remember a creature with this skill in the campaign.

[sick sage]

Its that stupid mob

[ancient walrus]

notable passives are everything except skill attribute selection ones right?

[sick sage]

Shooting laser across the map

[haughty niche]

No

sec

[indigo badge]

Sun priest slams with any +elemental dmg

[ancient walrus]

tyvm ill save this image

[indigo badge]

I make them my prio +those mages

They're incredibly annoying if you leave them alone

[haughty niche]

In general, Keystones usually come with some game-changing effect and a major downside.

Notables tend to be powerful nodes that you need to path through small nodes to get to.

Pathing/Travel/Attribute nodes, whatever you want to call them, are just used to get around on the tree.

The meta of the skill tree is usually to take as many notables for stats you need as you can, only taking small nodes to get to notables. But of course sometimes a small node offers something very useful for your build and you take it anyway, etc. @ancient walrus

[hard cypress]

That is a good summary, well put

[steel junco]

viper is hard

cant kill viper

[haughty niche]

viper napkin is hard

stay somewhat near the wall in spear phase, then you only need to dodge one side of the spears. But careful cause if you hug the wall when the phase ends then 90% of the time you get stuck in it for the rest of the fight

[steel junco]

ah

[wary summit]

any suggestions on which one i should use level 22

idk if thats starter still

[sacred compass]

just start with the regular neversink, that still shows a good variety of items

you can later switch to the higher strictness option once you are in the endgame

by that point you have a better idea about how much loot you personally would like to see

[haughty niche]

regular neversink pretty much doesn't hide anything

it just applies highlights to items you would want to pick up more

[sacred compass]

it starts hiding the bad bases in higher lvls

so it hides objectively useless stuff

but keeps everything you MIGHT find usefull

[haughty niche]

semi-strict is pretty solid if you think you are seeing too much but dont want to miss anything imo

anything higher is for when you are certain you are seeing too much and need to pick up less

[fresh mulch]

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

[haughty niche]

basically none of the filters are going to show you only what you need to pick up, thats just not how poe works. You will need to just ignore some drops as you play

[fresh mulch]

how in this build there is skills that requires 200 int while its for ranger class???

[sacred compass]

both regular and semi-strict are more the filter for you to get used to poe loot and lootfilters and after that you decide based on personal preference

[haughty niche]

class decides nothing but where you start on the tree and what ascendencies you have access to.

[fresh mulch]

ik but still i mostly go dex

[haughty niche]

They likely just take a bunch of int from travel nodes / gear

[fresh mulch]

i would need 200+ dex and 200+ int how???

[haughty niche]

oh this is an attribute stacking build

not a good pick for a starter imo

When talking about Attributes in this section, this includes all of them: Dexterity/Strength/Intelligence. This is because even if you might need Intelligence, by getting Dexterity, you can now undo the Dexterity nodes on your Passive Tree and turn them into Intelligence, having the same effect! Knowing this fact makes your gearing a lot easier. However, keep in mind that you want as much Intelligence as possible as you gain a ton of flat damage from the Hand of Wisdom and Action unique. Spec Dex/Strength to satisfy gem attribute requirements , then put the rest into Intelligence.

the unique is expensive, and gear with lots of attributes is also expensive

attribute stackers in poe are just really expensive

[pearl isle]

at what level does the coop scaling start? what if I'm roughly 7 lvls ahead

does it scale me really hard then?

[sacred compass]

check the explanations in the gearing section, a lot of your gear has attributes as one of the higher valued stats as this build scales with stacking them

[sacred compass]

are you asking because you want to play with someone lower lvl? or just want to help them kill a boss or something short

bc if its just for short help you can disable the downscaling

[pearl isle]

I went past my friend last night, and this character isn't very strong - so I'm afraid if getting scaled down helping him get through act 3 lol

not short, but complete most of act 3

[sacred compass]

if its for playing together then 7 lvls is really not that much, your party member can catch up pretty quick especially if you play together

[pearl isle]

sounds good

thank you

[sacred compass]

the downscaling doesnt make you weaker than what you were at that point

so you wont be weaker than you were when you went through that content

pretty much

[haughty niche]

it can if you are using ailments.

[pearl isle]

I'm using poisons 😦 but it'll be alirght. he is also doing chaos damage and reductions

[sacred compass]

in what way?

[haughty niche]

The monster life scaling in party and downscaling made it so that my sorc's freeze build up took 20x longer

when i tried to carry someone

so instead of freezing in 3 hits, it took like 2 minutes to get 1 freeze off and by then the boss was already almost dead

[copper basin]

You manage to make freeze sorc work still?

[haughty niche]

I haven't played her in a month

[pearl isle]

only their health goes up, right? not their attack power too?

[copper basin]

Same thats why im wonderin

[sacred compass]

yes

[pearl isle]

thank you!

[copper basin]

I went time form and bricked her

[sacred compass]

and only really on rares and bosses, the increase on regular monsters is pretty low

[copper basin]

Had to make another sorc

[haughty niche]

i gave up and respec'd to a hammer of the gods chronomancer when they gutted cast on freeze comet.
Then gave up cause mace skills feel awful and did a poisonous concoction ranger which is busted but squishy unless i say fuck it and go ES-based. Which i dont want to do so im just not playing until they fix defenses

[copper basin]

Even without comet that wall skill froze every boss in story makin the the run fast and safe

[haughty niche]

wall is the way to play cold sorc now

[copper basin]

I dont wanna use fire ball, so spark was all i had left

I feel limited on sorc

[haughty niche]

a lot of the elemental spells are poorly balanced and don't do a lot of damage

so you are pigeonholed into using a select few to assist in damage

[copper basin]

Man if only i can have val arc again

Is there no build where us sorc can use charges like poe 1 lol

[haughty niche]

charges are super sparse in poe2. They also don't give stats

[stiff nebula]

Hii which one should i pick as melee ice strike charged staff build?
https://i.imgur.com/dJn3b1b.png

[old bluff]

no quest are showing up im in act the 2nd loacton of act 2 and just beat the guy on radier cliffs but nobody is yellow in anytown

[fresh mulch]

wait can i dodge THE SUN???

cuz i have the node that gives me dodge everything so does this work on sun?

[dusty nexus]

Chat should I delete D4 and go play POE

[lone shadow]

does leech apply on Dot?

[haughty niche]

both games have their merits/downsides

[haughty niche]

leech will always specify on hit im pretty sure, and dots are specifically not hits

the super generic term also specifies on hit

[haughty niche]

Hits aren't dots, so no

[old bluff]

how do i restart my game it is bricked i cant do nothing im stuck in the begging of act 2

[fresh mulch]

0/10 game i cant dodge sun :C

[haughty niche]

play poe1 and become the sun

[trim turret]

Like because of a bug or because you're getting crushed?

I've killed balala 2 times but i dont have the coin. is it a bug?

[hollow drift]

anyone wanna help me on Zalmarath cruel? IGN: NatDrexl

[haughty niche]

the quest isn't supposed to exist in cruel difficulty

ignore it if you are in cruel

[warm dock]

ahhh ty

[hollow drift]

I got one coin in cruel difficulty from killing it...

[wary summit]

how do i activate my hellhound

its in the skill tab

[hollow drift]

but on 2nd kill you dont get it

[wary summit]

but i dont see it near me

[hollow drift]

right click on it

[wary summit]

im console

https://i.imgur.com/yP7deT7.png

was thinking the stun on or the elemental ailment one?

[jade trellis]

how do i put them in lol

[sick sage]

Drag them in

[jade trellis]

i cant

the slots disappear when i try drag it in

[sick sage]

[steel junco]

can some1 help me kill viper

[haughty niche]

press z and thank me later

[jade trellis]

that worked

what does that even do

[haughty niche]

(that UI gets hidden by the item highlight toggle for some reason lol)

[jade trellis]

i see

ty

[haughty niche]

so pressing z turns on and off the item text appearing on screen

i rebound it to . cause I kept fatfingering it and turning off all my loot highlighting lol

[jade trellis]

would that be why the items that arent apart of my item filter arent shown

some of the items i get from like bosses or enemies just completely disappear off my screen

[haughty niche]

try asking in #2┃looking-for-group they have more people who are actively in game

[jade trellis]

but theyre still there

and i can see them if i hold alt

[haughty niche]

the highlighting only toggles the text. doesn't get rid of the items themselves

[steel junco]

okok\

[median mulch]

I am lvl 93 and XP gain is slow af, how can I level up the quickest rn?

[fringe obsidian]

You just do the highest possible content

[haughty niche]

irradiate your maps, etc

[fringe obsidian]

but honestly the xp gain is supposed to be insanely slow after 90

[haughty niche]

also #2┃after-acts-help

builds are generally considered complete around 90-95

[fringe obsidian]

so it was in poe 1 so it will always be

[haughty niche]

the last 5 levels are incredibly slow and the points you get from them are usually just set aside for quality of life / whatever you want

[median mulch]

yeah i just mainly want to get 1 more level to get the a large survival node before doing simulacrums lol

[violet drum]

why cant I open a new trial?

the door is open, it says that realm doesnt exist anymore, if I try to open a new one it says no

restart game?

[haughty niche]

go to the waypoint in the area and ctrl+click the node that goes to that area and make a new instance

[rotund trench]

How many sprit gems did you guys have by level 50

I only have 3 separate ones

But can't find More

[honest raft]

ive only gotten them from quests

you can buy them for cheap though

[frail ivy]

Does this have any good value?

[violet drum]

thank you, that helped, didnt even knew it existed

[lament stone]

#price-check📉

[latent fern]

is it worth running duo or would a duo be better off running solo?

[swift thunder]

depends what u do

if u want currency drops go duo if u want to do rituals then split

[haughty niche]

this is campaign help btw

Goal would mostly just be getting through the campaign

Play co-op if you want / have friends to play with. But the game is designed around solo play. That said, duo/trio isn't much different, you do the same things just with 3 people

[sweet rivet]

Hey guys, when's stash tab discount?

[haughty niche]

it JUST ended

[sweet rivet]

BRO

[haughty niche]

like it was for the duration of last weekend into monday.

so now its a few weeks away

[sweet rivet]

I thought it was going to last for 1 week or something

[haughty niche]

estimate by poe2db

[sweet rivet]

so it normally lasts for 3 days or something?

The discount

[haughty niche]

yeah its a weekend sale

[sweet rivet]

Alright man, thank you for informing me.

[haughty niche]

only fri/sat/sun/bit of monday. Depending on where you live the exact days might be slightly different due to timezones

[granite kraken]

guys how good is this bow?

[lament stone]

that entirely depends on what point of the game youre at

[granite kraken]

i think i am starting

[lament stone]

if youre level 5, thats a pretty good bow

if youre level 20, thats not very good

[granite kraken]

i am at 10

[lament stone]

altho i would change the runes to lightning damage runes

thatll give you a lot more damage than the phys runes you currently have

[granite kraken]

thank you ill figure that out

[jovial ferry]

is there a guide for a hardcore character

[lament dust]

Can I not do the trial of the sekhemas again on cruel ?

[haughty niche]

the baryas are random drops. the quest isn't supposed to appear in cruel

just ignore the quest

[lament stone]

youd have to go to act 2 to start one, altho there isnt any point just yet because you need a level 60+ djinn barya to get your 5th and 6th points

[wintry oriole]

anyone got any t7+ maps that they don't need and would donate to player thats just doing their atlas quests?

[lament stone]

the trial of sekhemas area doesnt exist in cruel act 2 because cruel act 2 is just a placeholder for act 5

oh sorry about that

[lament stone]

LMAO

[steel junco]

what do i do with this?

juss sell to the npc?

[lament stone]

sell it to oswald

[steel junco]

ok

[haughty niche]

sell to oswald or drop in a non-town area if hes too annoying to get to

[steel junco]

okok.

[azure lava]

Not that I know of. Aim for capped resists as early as possible. Don't scrimp on upgrading gear. Know the fights. Don't play a build that gets surrounded and can't deal with it. You can pause and respawn at checkpoint if you need to bail, but know that the game resumes for like a third of a second after you press that button so you may still die.

I'm playing hcssf rn and I'm in act 3 cruel. Feel free to ping me with specific questions

And life is so freaking important. As are flasks. And just taking things slow

Melee is so fucking hard to do in hardcore

I can't recommend it

[haughty niche]

Also despite warrior's theme being "beefy boy" hes probably in the weekest area of the tree defensively

dont fall for it

[jovial ferry]

@azure lava can u tell me what build u going with us since i was thinking about monk but since u said melee is so hard

[tired ingot]

can i play the whole game with my friend

[haughty niche]

ye

as soon as you reach the first town after the starting area

[azure lava]

I accidentally and independently made the same build as Raizqt's corrupting cry gemling

I have 3.3k life in act 3 cruel

[tired ingot]

is there crossplay? im playing from pc and he's playing from playstation

[haughty niche]

yep

[tired ingot]

alright

thanks

[azure lava]

Raiz has a YouTube guide for it

Not for cross play, but for his gemling

[haughty niche]

interestingly enough i kind of landed on the exact same build as popular poisonous concoction ones while doing my own thing. I feel like poe2 kinda forced me into it.. Like there wasn't much choice to it

[azure lava]

I did the same thing with lightning rod orb of storms lol. Yeah, it feels like early on there are only so many combos that actually work

[haughty niche]

a lot of skills kind of feel like theres only 1 way to use them

hopefully getting all the support gems will help eventually, but the current supports are certainly WAAAAAY more restrictive than poe1's stuff

[azure lava]

There's like...
Rod+orb
ED+contagion
Spark+orb+flame wall
Srs+flame wall

Maybe some weird bone spell stuff? But idk man. It feels like you need spell damage and minion shit to make those work

Oh, and tempest bell + ???

Those are basically all I've seen anyone do with success in acts 1-3

[haughty niche]

I guess its kind of the opposite of poe1 for skills.

Poe1 lets you use practically any skill effectively, but often you will have the 4 same supports for damage and 1 extra for feel.

Poe2 heavily restricts the supports, and but the skills are very poorly balanced or pigeonhole you into one setup+knockdown archetype

[azure lava]

I wish they made more skills available in the tier 1-5 department

[haughty niche]

yeah

you get like 1 thats good

and some archetypes just use bows anyway until x skill

[azure lava]

Yeah rod+orb is nuts and I'm surprised it didn't get toned down tbh

[haughty niche]

soon...

big balance patch alongside a league... I can feel it

[azure lava]

And I get we're looking at barely half of the skills the game will have on launch, so that makes me hopeful. If even 10% of the unreleased skills have as much cross-archetype compatability as orb of storms or contagion I'll be a happy camper

[gentle flower]

Sry for asking. But do you know how to set the Itemfilter for Delirious Waystones >50%? "WaystoneTier >= 11
AnyEnchantment True" shows me all Waystones 11-15 with Delirious on it. But is it possible to show only ones with above 50%?

[steel junco]

where do i use this

[gentle flower]

in the next Area

[steel junco]

ok

[long sequoia]

I'm confused.. I kinda did this earlier..??? but it showed me in the map that i hadn't killed the boss and i can somehow still summon alva?

[plush mantle]

you'd want #2┃after-acts-help for mapping related questions, but as far as I know, you can't item filter on delirium %. You might be able to regex the stash tab you're holding the waystones in though

[gentle flower]

okay. so just look through all and pick the ones i want xD

[plush mantle]

I'm rusty on my regular expressions, but toss this in the search bar on the stash and it should highlight the ones you want:
([5-9][0-9]|\d{3,})% Del

[craggy gyro]

This game sucks

I had my access revoked 👀

[split burrow]

how to increase wind dancer and ghost dance maximum stage ?

[plush mantle]

gemcutter's prisms to increase the quality

[split burrow]

thx u

[tawdry drum]

can someone explain how the online of this game works

[plush mantle]

have to be online to play. PS+ shouldn't be required though as far as I know

[tawdry drum]

no i mean

do me and my freind have common worlds

[haughty niche]

yes and no

Characters aren't locked to worlds/servers like wow etc

You can select the best gateway for you

Whoever creates the area instance is the gateway it will use, then the second person to enter the instance will join that gateway's instance

[tawdry drum]

for progressing do we have to beat the bosses twice

[haughty niche]

So if you are washington and they are signapore, and they create the area, you will join into a signapore realm.

No, quest state on boss kills is granted to all party members in the arena

[real glade]

Does accuracy matter at all? I use a crossbow,. something tells me it's useless

[plush mantle]

not as long as you're both in the same instance when the boss is killed

[plush mantle]

I've heard grenades can miss, although I don't understand how

[haughty niche]

its used to calculate most attacks.

though by default merc and ranger tend to just get a lot of accuracy through the dex requirements of crossbows/bows

[plush mantle]

crossbow skills have a ranged falloff. But most bow/crossbow users are investing in dex, so you generally have accuracy taken care of there

[haughty niche]

you usually want at most 1 accuracy mod on a ring and thats enough. Maybe 1 group of nodes on the tree

[azure lava]

northeast part of the agorrat

[real glade]

Isn't there a node on the tree that gives atk speed for x amount accuracy

[azure lava]

pretty sure there's no way to do so, currently

wait, does quality raise the stages?

[plush mantle]

on wind dancer, anyway

[azure lava]

oh, yeah, neato

[plush mantle]

Falcon Dive

[wet badger]

the first soul core on the machinariam is not working it wont let me put it in the first altar???

[plush mantle]

what does it say in the chat window?

[visual onyx]

Am in beginning of act 3 and was wondering how I am supposed to do DPS am playing as Blood Mage and I just do 0 damage. I use contagion, essence drain, flame wall, archers, unearth, bonestorm and bone cage, mana drain and MOM with minion focused passive tree.

[plush mantle]

that's a lot of non-minion skills for a minon build

[hard cypress]

Raging spirits, arsonists, fire wall for the go-tos for minion fire builds

[visual onyx]

Isn't that for infernalist

[hard cypress]

oh right, I saw minions and skipped blood mage

[azure lava]

skills aren't "for" any class

[haughty niche]

they still said minion focused tree

which means SRS is an absolute must

at least for campaign

[visual onyx]

SRS?

[azure lava]

raging spirits

[haughty niche]

Raging Spirits (Summon Raging Spirits is the poe1 name my bad)

[azure lava]

in poe1 it was called "summon raging spirits"

[haughty niche]

Permanent minions have wayy too low life in first few acts so they die too fast. They also dont do a lot of damage early on either.

Raging Spirits is super fast to get 10 spirits out and they all do considerably more damage than any other minion option early on

[visual onyx]

Lol I realize that so I took basically all the revive faster points and 4 seconds after 0 life so I have almost 100% uptime but they still deal 0 damage rip

[plush mantle]

most of the Bloodmage guides I'm seeing are Detonate Dead with Brutes and Clerics

[hard cypress]

Make sure your armor skills and passive skills say "Minions do this"

[haughty niche]

you can use something like Martial Tempo and Fire Infusion linked to Raging Spirits and it will cary you. Raging spirits is a Spirit gem tho so kind of rough to obtain unless you haven't done the side quest in act 1 for it

[visual onyx]

Yeah I don't have any atm so hmm. Gimme 10 mins imma cook 🔥

[haughty niche]

i was surprised when i used it with self-found gear and it basically instantly killed act 1 boss

[meager flower]

What are Empowered Attacks in this game?

[haughty niche]

hover over the word empowered

should be dotted

you can hold alt for more info

Warcries would be an example of how to empower attacks

[meager flower]

hmm

[azure lava]

barrage is another example

[meager flower]

Tempest Flurry or Charged Staff?

[azure lava]

I don't have the game open. read them and see

[hard cypress]

You mean falling thunder

[meager flower]

Charged Staff buffs quarterstaff attacks but

[hard cypress]

Falling thunder consumes power charges to do more attack but don't think its "empowered"

[meager flower]

Same for Charged Staff

[visual onyx]

Alright I'm cooking something good however what are some good ways to remove armor as a blood mage? Vulnerability seems super shite

[lament stone]

unless you do mostly physical damage theres no need to worry about an enemies armour

[long sequoia]

do i need to do until That. for 3rd ascendancy.

say sike

[lament stone]

for 3rd ascension you need to do 3 full floors

[visual onyx]

But if I were to, what would be a good way to remove armor?

[long sequoia]

3....

what is it for temple of chaos?

all 10?

[haughty niche]

if you are doing 3rd, consider farming them for honour resist relics

[lament stone]

yes

[plush mantle]

not a good way to do so. There's Splinter support with your bone skills or Corrosion if you were doing poison

[lament stone]

but they also need to be specific levels

[long sequoia]

that sounds better if i had the inscribed ultimatum kms

[long sequoia]

huh?

[lament stone]

level 60+ for 3rd ascension in trial of sekhemas, level 75+ for 3rd ascension in trial of chaos

[plush mantle]

really surprised that hasn't been pinned yet

[long sequoia]

i'll wait till 75.

thanks!

[hard cypress]

Do I need farm these tokens if I keep failing ?

[lament stone]

that ones not completely accurate

[hard cypress]

The 1st floor was given back right

[azure lava]

yes, only the quest versions give you the free retries

[long sequoia]

trial of sekhemas is.. tedious man 😭

[hard cypress]

Ooooh the 3rd 4th one is not a quest ?

[long sequoia]

what's the level req for 4th ascension?

[haughty niche]

in an ssf environment id consider purposefully failing the quest one to get a couple relics to make future runs easier

[plush mantle]

correct

[azure lava]

it gets wayyyyy easier once you get 75% honor res and other goodies from relics

[hard cypress]

That's pretty smart

[long sequoia]

this is one thing that i Really don't wanna repeat though

[azure lava]

you can do the easier ones to farm relics

[long sequoia]

wait, can you co-op the trials?

[azure lava]

yeah

[haughty niche]

yes though if someone dies they don't get the rewards

i forget if honour is shared. i dont think it is

[long sequoia]

can you join someone like mid trial? one of my friends offered me that a while ago but im not sure if i misunderstood it

[azure lava]

it is, actually

[haughty niche]

weird

when me and my brother did one we had different honour values

[plush mantle]

would you rather run Chaos repeatedly until you get 3 fragments that are all different? Espeically since it's random which one you get? 🙂

[azure lava]

yep, but people can still die to normal damage

[haughty niche]

maybe it was desync'd

[long sequoia]

oh it's rng.

[azure lava]

really? I saw someone in here who had a massive honor bar and they lost it when their friend got hit

[long sequoia]

these trials are gonna be the end of me.

[lament stone]

you have individual honour pools, but the damage is shared

[plush mantle]

Honour damage seems to be shared, but your defenses are calculated seperately

[azure lava]

oooooooooooooooh

[haughty niche]

ah yeah, the absolute worst possible way to implement it lol

[unkempt cove]

we really need a new patch! game is boring

[plush mantle]

which means RIP evasion builds if you partner with someone

[haughty niche]

play something else

[azure lava]

unless you both take half the damage

[haughty niche]

i havent played poe2 in like 2-3 weeks

[azure lava]

not the channel to talk about how boring the game is, btw

that's for #2┃general

[unkempt cove]

ah yes

[long sequoia]

yeah no im cooked in co-op too then

man

[plush mantle]

Just have to make sure your partner doesn't get hit 😉

you still evade hits, but if your partner gets hit, you will lose the max honor from that hit as you don't have any mitigation (aside from what relics give you)

[visual onyx]

Alright so I have gotten rid of most of my skills (flame wall will come back when I get spirit gem). I now have Bonestorm, bone cage, detonate dead and raiders. Raiders have envenom, corrosion and I used my only support gem upgrade to give it +4 secs of life after 0 hp, meaning they have 95% uptime with my passive skills. Their purpose is to mainly proc the bonestorm stacks and reduce armor against big enemies (like bosses). Now I only have single target, however detonate dead decimates small mobs. I have mana drain and MOM aswell. Did I cook?

[long sequoia]

😭 man

[clever geode]

On what content

[fresh mulch]

its possible to get tier 2 item from last boss of act 2 cruel???

[visual onyx]

Just started act 3

[plush mantle]

seems workable, but there's a difference between theory and practice 😉

[clever geode]

Dont think so

[azure lava]

you kinda had me up until you said you took MOM. That's gonna get you destroyed, imo

[clever geode]

Tier items are endgame

[clever geode]

Yeah remove mom

If u get hit u are done for

[plush mantle]

yeah, unless you're wearing some twinked out gear, you don't have the mana pool to MoM

[clever geode]

0 mana spell caster = death

[fresh mulch]

i just got it

[clever geode]

He is campaign

[fresh mulch]

some wand tier 2

[visual onyx]

I have mana drain it's super good

[clever geode]

Link it?

[visual onyx]

I never die basically

[clever geode]

And show ilvl

[azure lava]

I mean, he's the final boss before endgame, I'd believe it

[clever geode]

Oh

[azure lava]

oh, act 2 cruel?

or act 3?

I can't read

[clever geode]

Just started act 3

[azure lava]

yeah act 2 cruel they said

[visual onyx]

Idk what cruel is is that ng+

[clever geode]

Cruel is just place holder

[fresh mulch]

this one but now when i drop it it doesnt say tier 2 but before i identife it it was tier 2

i could send short video if you dont belive me

[clever geode]

Its fine

[lament stone]

its impossible for that to drop in cruel act 2

[haughty niche]

pretty sure the tier only affects odds of identified stats

[fresh mulch]

what do you mean?

[clever geode]

Thats last map in campaign area level?

[lament stone]

the final zone of cruel act 3 is level 65, so can only drop items with an item level of 65

[fresh mulch]

yea

[clever geode]

He is asking if tier 2 drop in campaign

[clever geode]

Boss drop 1 lvl above maybe?

[lament stone]

item level 66 means its come from content past the campaign

[haughty niche]

i think i saw one towards the end?

[visual onyx]

Alright I'll remove MOM but how am I supposed to heal consistently with Blood Mage spell costs

[azure lava]

It's impossible for a level 66 wand to drop off cruel jamanra

[clever geode]

Leech?

[lament stone]

technically the boss could yea

[azure lava]

that's act 3 mate

[visual onyx]

Don't have that yet

[fresh mulch]

i guess i have to send video

[clever geode]

Hr did say last boss

[lament stone]

oh cruel act 3

[fresh mulch]

yes act 3 cruel i said that

[azure lava]

of act 2 cruel

[lament stone]

you said act 2

[lament stone]

here

[fresh mulch]

mb i wanted to say act 3

miss click

[clever geode]

Ah i read it as 3 cause u know

Ilvl 66

[lament stone]

that boss is probably the first enemy that can drop tiered items

[clever geode]

Eh using DD?

[visual onyx]

Alr ty everyone for the help I'm doing a lot more damage now, it's a little boring doing just bonestorm and detonate dead but I'm guessing it will get more fun once I reach further in

[fresh mulch]

so he meant act 2 here or what?

[clever geode]

Act 3

Last zone

[fresh mulch]

so how can wand be lvl 66?

[clever geode]

I would say use lowest gem u can on dd

[fresh mulch]

its higher then 65

[clever geode]

To save mana

[azure lava]

magic/rare/unique enemies can drop items 1 ilvl higher than the zone, I believe. That's hwo it is in poe1 as well. I think. Maybe uniques are +2

what's the ilvl of that wand?

[clever geode]

66

Which is 1 above the zone

[fresh mulch]

good to know

[clever geode]

From boss

[azure lava]

oh, yeah, that makes sense then I think

[clever geode]

Which i assume it drop +1 ilvl

[haughty niche]

boss monsters add +2 to monster level in poe2

[visual onyx]

Alright

[azure lava]

kill some magic/rare mob in that zone and see if its loot is 66 as welll

[haughty niche]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Level#Monster_level
https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Rarity#Item_rarity_tier_system

[clever geode]

Cause DD scales well off hp rather then skill level

[azure lava]

yeah, but doryani isn't a "boss", I don't think. I think the "boss" is for map bosses, specifically

[fresh mulch]

ok

cant its blocked :P

[clever geode]

[fresh mulch]

let me just explode the sun :P

[azure lava]

Yahweh hittin snooze like ^

[clever geode]

U can also 3 socket them and vaal it for 4th

Lesser jeweler is very cheap now

[haughty niche]

Vaaling is a gamble*

[clever geode]

Cheap is cheap

[visual onyx]

Alrighty

[clever geode]

Not asking him to do the 5 socket gamble

[haughty niche]

im just saying new people dont know its a gamble

[clever geode]

True

[haughty niche]

so they could have enough currency for say 1 attempt, try it, brick their gem and get annoyed

[clever geode]

I spend about 7 skill gem for 5th socket

Worth

[azure lava]

just find a greater jewelers in act 3 cruel

ez

or maybe that only works in hcssf

[clever geode]

U can find them in act 2 cruel

[restive turret]

Is 1.4k dps spark decent for act 2 cruel..?

[azure lava]

does it feel decent?

[restive turret]

If I dodge everything and use it on a boss for 4 minutes constantly it dies so I guesS?

[clever geode]

4 mins?

Are you hitting the boss?

[restive turret]

Place down wall of fire and hold spark in his direction

[fathom abyss]

Spark should be messing it up

[clever geode]

Which boss

Maybe high lightning res

[azure lava]

and is spark at the highest level skill gem you can cut?

[finite kiln]

anyway to disable the 1 ex bots on trade site?

[restive turret]

Stone golem in the valley of giants, forgot his name

[clever geode]

What u mean

[restive turret]

13, yes

[clever geode]

Ah that guy

Its hard to hit i assume

[restive turret]

Not really all I did was stand close to him and spark him to death

[clever geode]

Titan grotto boss

[restive turret]

It just took a while

[jovial zealot]

hello, is there a t3 support gem forced drop or quest?

[clever geode]

Yes

[jovial zealot]

witchone?

[clever geode]

Dont rmb

[fathom abyss]

Some bosses can be a pain, your spark will improve

[restive turret]

oh yea, this is my wand at lv 58. should I look to get a better one since I have 1 divine atm

[fathom abyss]

Yes

You want + level to lighting

[clever geode]

Thats quite bad

U should be able to find better in vendor

[fathom abyss]

I might have one

[clever geode]

Try all of them after level 53

[azure lava]

that's about as good as the wand I stopped using at level 41

[restive turret]

So should I use vendors or the trade site

[fathom abyss]

I will see of i have one @restive turret

[restive turret]

you dont have to trouble yourself

[jovial zealot]

ty

[fathom abyss]

My main is a spark

[clever geode]

Act 2

Keth

[restive turret]

I see, do you just hold the spell down or do you tap it after like .1s to walk faster

[fathom abyss]

I tap it

[clever geode]

Did u use tempest?

[fathom abyss]

I have one for you

@restive turret

[restive turret]

Not sure if me asking to have it breaks rule 6 if you're already offering it

[fathom abyss]

What's your in game name

[azure lava]

schematic is already breaking rule six by giving away an item

[restive turret]

"iPetko"

[main quartz]

I've already called the police we're good

[fathom abyss]

Wait really, my bad

[desert sedge]

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

[main quartz]

🥲

[clever geode]

Fbi open up

[fathom abyss]

https://tenor.com/view/f-bi-raid-swat-gif-11500735

Technically I didn't break any of those rules tbh

[safe lance]

If you two took this to DMs no one would ever know

that's kinda the idea

[long sequoia]

Uhh i'm not sure exactly where to ask this but, i heard characters get wiped after each league, is that true?

[quartz crow]

whats the hotkey to not "let go" of a wisdom scroll so you can mass ident your inventory

[eager basin]

they get moved to a standard (or in this case early access) league

[clever geode]

Shift iirc

[eager basin]

99% of players will be playing on the new league for most of the game

[quartz crow]

thank

[eager basin]

but everything does still exist in standard

[oblique isle]

I’m confused

[clever geode]

Me too

[oblique isle]

So does your character get wiped ?

[clever geode]

No

[eager basin]

no, it gets moved

[clever geode]

The end

[oblique isle]

what is the league ?

[clever geode]

Non yet

[eager basin]

we don't have leagues yet, so any characters you've created are in the base early access league

once a new league launches, you will not be able to play in that league with your current characters, you will have to make new ones and start from scratch in a fresh economy

[clever geode]

Early access league

[eager basin]

when that league ends, all of your characters and items from that league will go to early access league

[long sequoia]

how long are each leagues usually?

[eager basin]

which most people don't play

[clever geode]

Few months

[long sequoia]

oh dear this game is gonna be more taxing than i expected

[eager basin]

3-4 months in poe1 but it's EA so who knows right now

[clever geode]

U can choose no to play league if u dont play alot

[eager basin]

a lot of people don't play every league

[clever geode]

Like me

[plush mantle]

PoE1 leagues are generally 3-4 months, but EA leagues are more "when there's enough content to justify a new one"

[oblique isle]

What does playing in a league mean

I’m sorry if I sound dumb

[eager basin]

if you don't have time you can play standard, you just don't get the newest league mechanics or cosmetic challenges

[clever geode]

Fresh start

Like new server

[plush mantle]

#2┃new-player-in-campaign-help message

[clever geode]

U play rust?

[oblique isle]

I have a few times

[clever geode]

Or any game like rust

[eager basin]

in poe1 the playercount drops massively by the second month of a league so really, 3 months is plenty of time even for slow players

[long sequoia]

i'd need to start a new character for the new content then right..?

[oblique isle]

it’s like a server reset ?

[clever geode]

Its like a wipe but no

More like new server

U keep old char

When new server ends your stuff move to old server

[oblique isle]

so you can continue to play and progress on your character ?

[clever geode]

Then they make new server again

[plush mantle]

It's like how WoW keeps adding new Classic modes without erasing the old ones 😉

[clever geode]

Yes

But will be on old server

[long sequoia]

will only the new server have new content?

[oblique isle]

and I won’t be able to trade or anything with people playing on the new server ?

[clever geode]

There is like
Main server : standard
New server : league

[oblique isle]

okay

[plush mantle]

correct, not much point in an economy reset if they let you bring the old economy in 😉

[clever geode]

Yes till the league end

Then standard eill have it too

[haughty niche]

sometimes content does not go to standard

[oblique isle]

that’s unfortunate kinda I’ve put so many hours into my char

[azure lava]

it's sort of like how characters in hardcore standard can't play/trade with characters in softcore standard

[clever geode]

?

U get to keep it

[haughty niche]

Though for poe2 its pretty likely new leagues go to standard after they end to build up more content

[long sequoia]

awww man

[lament stone]

your characters dont get deleted, they just go to standard

[long sequoia]

i guess i would have to atleast start one in 1st league

[oblique isle]

I’m saying to play the new content you would have to create a new one

[lament stone]

but new leagues are fresh starts

[long sequoia]

assuming they wont give the new content to EA servers

[haughty niche]

They really like to incentivize new characters

[clever geode]

Like we said dont play league then

[lament stone]

poe isnt the kind of game where you have a forever character

[clever geode]

Y can

You can

[lament stone]

you make new characters to try new builds every league

[clever geode]

Just dont plat league

[lament stone]

sure you can, but builds can be ruined by patches

[clever geode]

What troubles me is that my stuffs

[eager basin]

the game is balanced around leagues

[clever geode]

Lazy to grind up again

[eager basin]

you can play standard but it's not really the intended experience

[oblique isle]

I never played Poe 1 I hopped on two bc I saw a YouTube video on it and already put like 140 hours in

[lament stone]

like in poe1, melee totems and divine blessing support gem were removed from the game, any build that used those doesnt work anymore

[haughty niche]

They really do incentivize trying out new builds/characters whenever leagues drop

• More players play in leagues, so better trade.
• New content / mechanics to play with/explore as early as the first area.
• Balance patches usually happen between leagues so its always somewhat fresh
• Challenges are leagues-only and reward cosmetics

[oblique isle]

Ima have to make a new character fs

[eager basin]

I would not recommend it to anyone who is not very sure of their own interests

[oblique isle]

I wanna play the new stuff

[clever geode]

Then dont make your problem my problem

[azure lava]

people definitely play forever characters, but they're in the vast minority. Likely less than 1% of active players play exclusively permanent standard, and less than 1% of THEM play only one character (in poe1)

[clever geode]

Yes i have like 8 char at endgame rn

Im like this looks fun

Creates char

[alpine silo]

what kind of damage do the bone constructs from unearth do btw? i don't see it listed

[clever geode]

Does it not say in skill?

[alpine silo]

nope, it just says it summons bone constructs, it is not highlighted either.

[round mist]

midway through act1 I need help leveling and progressing, IGN: HOMESAYOWN

[haughty niche]

thats not where you look

look on the gem itself

[alpine silo]

ye ye

i was doing both

[old bluff]

this game is shit

[azure lava]

I'd check out this guide for tips on gearing https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

[old bluff]

bugs every 20 mins like cmon

[clever geode]

[azure lava]

most early access games are

[alpine silo]

seems like a you problem. haven't had any problems whatsoever

[haughty niche]

so phys damage. Though it does look like they have some source of added fire damage or conversion from somewhere

[old bluff]

its says speak to alsa but alsa has not speech box

[clever geode]

No clue

[lament stone]

unearth is the same as raging spirits, the minions stats arent actually visible yet

seems to be a thing with minions that are triggered/summoned by using a skill

[alpine silo]

guessing from my staff

[haughty niche]

oh the bone constructs themselves

[round mist]

This is my 2nd character, whenever I run with randoms i get my loot taken or get folded alone

[haughty niche]

i assume they are physical

[azure lava]

then use that guide to make a character strong enough to not need to play in a group

[lament stone]

their damage type should be physical

[alpine silo]

aight, thanks y'all

[haughty niche]

minions are pretty notorious for being bullshit when explaining how they scale/work

[round mist]

its a skill issue, im just asking for help dude lmao

cool guide

[azure lava]

the "skill" you're lacking is knowledge of how to build a character and I'm offering help

[haughty niche]

not there

[final geyser]

Have you considered speaking to her back in town?

[haughty niche]

in the town

[round mist]

im not tryna argue about what "help" is

[alpine silo]

what could i add to unearth? i have a support slot free, i have minion instability and immolate currently (im a sorceress)

[alpine silo]

what? talk to her at the caravan

[azure lava]

me neither, because the pins of this channel have decided that for us. And this is not the channel to ask for a duo, that would be #2┃looking-for-group

[old bluff]

thanks

[haughty niche]

it also happens that a lot of people helping in here aren't even actively playing the game, while the looking for group channel is full of people ingame

[meager flower]

@haughty niche is there anything else I can add to improve the outcome of the similacrum like we do with maps? Or just slot it in and run it?

[haughty niche]

i havent ran deli content in like 4 years

also #2┃after-acts-help

[main quartz]

Simu is ran in the realmgate as it's own thing

It's not like adding emotions to a map

More levels in simulacrum atlas will make it better and harder

[desert sedge]

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

[leaden granite]

Hi guys can anyone explain what accuracy rating does exactly?

[azure lava]

press R3 and read about what it does

[leaden granite]

Great idea will do ty

[craggy gyro]

alguien me ayudaria a hacer la 4ta acendencia ?

[clever geode]

#2┃looking-for-group

Assuming you are looking for 4th ascend

[azure lava]

"will someone help me do the 4th ascendancy?" yeah you nailed it

didn't know we had two people around here that spoke spanish

[craggy gyro]

are bosses in this game repeatable on a new instance

like can i go kill the mad wolf in a new instance after i’ve killed him once

[lament stone]

you can, altho theres not much reason to repeat campaign bosses

[craggy gyro]

this game is so confusing bro

[azure lava]

yep

[craggy gyro]

i thought the game ended at act 2😭😭😭

[main quartz]

there is a whole 6 acts and end-game to discover

[lament stone]

act 1-6 are just the levelling/tutorial section of the game

[craggy gyro]

dawg

i’m so excited

i’m addicted to this fucking game

[half vigil]

ngl but the trails are lowkey garbage

and just a direct poor copy of hades

[azure lava]

did you have a question?

if not, #2┃general is for shitting on the game

[half vigil]

yeah how am i supposed to do it

if every time i take damage

even to the sheild

i lose honour

[lament stone]

youre supposed to try and not get hit

[azure lava]

get relics with honor resistance, prioritize boons, avoid afflictions, route to shrines to restore honor

are you doing the one in act 2?

[half vigil]

ye

also the boss at the end

is he supposed to have that much hp

[azure lava]

what skill(s) are you using?

[half vigil]

if the area is level 22

[azure lava]

he has exactly as much life as is intended

[half vigil]

i also have the flaming skulls

[kindred fiber]

is there any UI feature that lets me see my damage on mobs?

[half vigil]

so over 150k

[azure lava]

you can see the damage you do to bosses in the top right portion of their life bar thing

[azure lava]

yeppers

[half vigil]

wow so cool

and the aoe spam

[azure lava]

but in the trial, it's possible to get boons that give you stuff like 40% more damage or give the boss 40% less life

[honest raft]

why is the hooded one just lying there 😭 is this a bug

[half vigil]

does this game have any like atleast decent boses?

cuz so far all ive seen is either bad or boring

[lament stone]

you need to complete the cemetary quests

[azure lava]

no, he's unconscious

[honest raft]

oh

i just want to identify my items smh

[kindred fiber]

yeah but the mobs die so fast im trying to see how much im critting for when im fightin

[half vigil]

is it even doable solo at this point

[azure lava]

hit a boss and try to calculate

[azure lava]

yes, everything in the game is soloable

[kindred fiber]

haha ok igotcha

[azure lava]

You can retry the act 2 quest trial as many times as you want until you complete it

[lament stone]

if you open the skill menu and select a skill you can see your crit chance and your crit damage multiplier

[half vigil]

atleast they were aware its ass

[azure lava]

the later ones you don't get that luxury

[half vigil]

who lied to me

cuz i dont even have relic anymore

[azure lava]

you can't see your relics until you insert a djinn barya

[long sequoia]

huh

[honest raft]

getting stuck on act 2 is a skill issue

[long sequoia]

is this a melee class

asc 1 really shouldn't be that bad

[azure lava]

no, they're a weird minion thing

[half vigil]

oh i need to talk to the

random npc

[azure lava]

^

[half vigil]

what

[azure lava]

yeah, the "random" npc who's the only npc there and who runs the whole place

[azure lava]

that wasn't for you, that was for who was asking about your build

[half vigil]

boring as hell

[half vigil]

its a no build cuz

gems dont drop for me

[azure lava]

you don't need that many gems to make something usable

what supports are on raging spirits?

[half vigil]

none

[azure lava]

???

[half vigil]

cuz i got a gem for it recently

[azure lava]

okay

I found the problem

move supports from your bad skills onto raging spirits if they apply

[half vigil]

uh?

[azure lava]

do you have any supports on any of your skills?

[half vigil]

you mean those crystals?

[azure lava]

I mean the items known as support gems

the things you socket into other skills

to affect skills

[long sequoia]

the buff crystals you're putting into your skills

[half vigil]

all the ones i have
