[azure lava]

is that lacerate in chaos bolt?

[half vigil]

yeah

[lament stone]

chaos bolt does not do physical damage so cannot inflict bleed

[half vigil]

wow im so glad the description says that

[azure lava]

I don't think the issue is that trials are bullshit, but that you didn't learn until right now that you can hold alt and click on keywords to read about how they work

it does say that

if you hold alt and click on keywords

[velvet edge]

in HCSSF if i log out during campaign (Was one hit from death), do i have to wait 15+ minutes for instance reset?

Maybe 20 to be safe?

[lament stone]

yes actually, if you click on the word "bleeding" you see this

[azure lava]

you can click "Respawn at checkpoint", but that technically makes the game go for like 0.2-0.5 seconds longer after you press the button

[velvet edge]

Yeah i was dead if i did

[azure lava]

so I'd either wait the 15 minutes or click respawn and mash your flask

[velvet edge]

got totally surrounded

I was using that on some bosses

[lament stone]

the support gem itself has to be worded that way because of blood mage

[velvet edge]

I'll wait 15, thanks

[azure lava]

well, because of anything that hits, tbh

[long sequoia]

It says physical up there??

[half vigil]

this game somehow managed to be even more unclear than bg3

[lament stone]

bleeding can only be inflicted by physical damage

[azure lava]

what is unclear?

[half vigil]

pretty much everything plus the fact everything could be explained in 3 words but is explained in an entire paragraph

[azure lava]

it seems like if something as complex as bleeding were tried to be explained in 3 words, it would make it far less clear

the information is a few clicks deep, but it's all perfectly clear (usually)

[lament stone]

poe is not a simple game

some mechanics just cant be explained in a single sentence

damage over time is one of the more complex mechanics

[azure lava]

so the way I see it you have a few options:

1. Buckle down, read, and learn as you go.
2. Keep ramming your head into a wall and likely get frustrated
3. Do something else with your time

if you pick 1, you have mine and this channel's full support

[pine finch]

to be fair, it says "contributes to magnitude". even this wording doesnt make it perfectly clear that only phys damage can trigger it at all. the gem could use with some sentence like "bleed is usually triggered by physical damage only", just better worded

I bet 95% of players only learn stuff like this from external sources, it is not well represented or made perfectly clear at all

[half vigil]

,,in order to inflict bleeding you must deal physical damage"

[half vigil]

where does it say that

[azure lava]

that's not strictly true for all cases tho, I don't think

maybe it is for now in poe2, but in poe1 I'm pretty sure there are ways to make other damage types inflict bleed

[lament stone]

all of this is relevant information for "bleeding"

[half vigil]

idk i still hate the chinese who made this game

[lament stone]

the devs are from new zealand

[half vigil]

dang close

anyways if i wanted to play hades if play hades not poe2 trails </3

[azure lava]

yep, feel free

do what makes you happy

[half vigil]

im just saying they could be a lil more original instead of copying hades 1:1

[long sequoia]

oh it's still going on

[trim turret]

POE was around long before Hades came out.

[azure lava]

the trial of the sekhema is a carry-over from poe1 from a league that started development like a year and a half after hades 1 came out. It was quite popular and makes a lot of sense as to why it was remade for poe2

[azure lava]

to be fair, sanctum came out after hades 1 😛

[safe lance]

definitely copied because there is no escape

[lament stone]

theres not a lot of similarities

[long sequoia]

Well anyways, can you get low level req gear so you can give it to your other character? It would fasten up the campaign right?

[safe lance]

I think that might be the only roguelike they know of

[azure lava]

yeah that's colloquially known as "twink gear"

[long sequoia]

😭

that's a name alright

[safe lance]

why are you crying?

[long sequoia]

good question

[half vigil]

i dont remember poe1 having these kind of trails

[lament stone]

sanctum

[trim turret]

Well...it does.

[lament stone]

its a poe1 league mechanic

[trim turret]

Not for ascendancy, but as a side mechanic.

[safe lance]

They just changed the name of the boons etc, even some of the UI is same from what I can tell

[half vigil]

were they the same?

[safe lance]

I do get you though @half vigil I hated it but I am actually farming those now as I didnt progress in any other endgame mechanic much. I thnk I was able to sell things from the last 3-4 runs for like 5-6 div so far.

[craggy gyro]

who helps me to do the 4th ascension pls

[azure lava]

ascendancy trials in poe1 are WAY different than the ones in poe2. But the trials in poe2 are different versions of other mechanics from poe1. Namely:
Sekhema = Sanctum
Chaos = Ultimatum

[azure lava]

éste canál es para consejos y preguntas. #2┃looking-for-group es para encontrar grupos para jugar juntos

[safe lance]

sus

[long sequoia]

would the endgame bosses from beta stay in full release?

or would there be different ones

I'm assuming the former?

Wait

Wrong channel mb

[half vigil]

i have a build planned atleast

[safe lance]

The pinnacle ones, probably yeah

[half vigil]

tho i cant afford it in the ways of gems

[safe lance]

spend more time looking at sanctum mechanic and what relics, boons are good, what afflictions are bad, that helps a bit.

[long sequoia]

are you planning a build on your own or following a guide?

[half vigil]

own

[long sequoia]

ah, good luck

[azure lava]

just as a heads up, if you're inexperienced with poe and try to make a build on your own, there's a good chance it'll hit a wall you can't get past. But if it works, it's one of the most satisfying feelings in any game ever, imo. Glhf

[half vigil]

idk so far the most satisfying part of the game is when my character does any kind of damage to a boss

which rarely happens

[hard cypress]

I feel like, even with blind build you end up with a version of the popular builds with maybe unoptimized support setup

[long sequoia]

I mean, the passive tree probably has some impact..

[half vigil]

barely

8 honour left

[grand dome]

hey if i die in hardcore, can i use the character in softcore?

[lament stone]

yes

[hard cypress]

Yes

[prisma dust]

any1 want to start new char together?

[vague hollow]

if an item is corrupted but has sockets, can you still place runes into those sockets?

[lament stone]

when you die in hardcore your character gets moved to softcore standard, which doesnt matter much at the moment because there is only standard, but when a league starts it will matter

[lament stone]

#2┃looking-for-group

[kindred zenith]

anyone want to go through cruel act 2 - 3 with me. Im leveling my Gemling so i dint need a carry just want to make it faster

[half vigil]

why cant i use the portal

[lament stone]

#2┃looking-for-group

[lament stone]

where are you trying to use it from?

[half vigil]

the one in the trails

[lament stone]

did you portal out?

[half vigil]

theres already a portal in the room with chests

[lament stone]

oh you did make it to the end room, you cant reenter once you leave

[half vigil]

so where do i go?

just tp to

camp?

[lament stone]

did you choose your ascendancy? if yes then youre done there and you can just go back to doing the story

[half vigil]

no i didnt

[safe lance]

make sure to choose before you leave

dont exit

[half vigil]

OH THERES A BIG AHH ALTAR RIGHT NEXT TO IT

it was belnding it

[lament stone]

oh does it not let you leave without choosing?

[long sequoia]

a heads up that you can't change your ascendancy

[half vigil]

yay im an infernalist

pain offering

also can someone tell me which boss drops enfolding dawn pilgrim vestments?

[lament stone]

most uniques are just random drops

[half vigil]

its a legendary i think? i mean its orange so

[lament stone]

the only boss specific uniques drop from pinnacle bosses, way past the campaign

yes, orange is unique

[safe lance]

you can check in poe2db site https://poe2db.tw/Enfolding_Dawn

[lament stone]

unique does not necessarily mean good

they do something unique, which may or may not be good for you, obviously enfolding dawn is pretty good for minion builds because it gives 100 spirit

[half vigil]

ye thats why i want it

so i can farm any boss it has a chance to drop it?

[lament stone]

any enemy

its not specific to just bosses

[half vigil]

oh damn

and every enemy can drop it?

[lament stone]

can yes

[half vigil]

dang so gotta farm

[lament stone]

you cant really farm for a specific unique if its a random drop

[half vigil]

well yeah but how else am i supposed to get it

i doubt anyone will want to trade it with me

[lament stone]

divination cards arent a thing in poe2 yet, so if its not a boss restricted unique, trading is the most realistic way to get a specific unique

[half vigil]

damn now spend whole week trying to find someone merciful to trade with me

[tranquil pivot]

if an item is currupted and has an empty socket, are you still able to place a rune inside that currupted item?

[azure lava]

Don't use trade chat. Use Pathofexile.com/trade2

[orchid garden]

whats better?

[craggy gyro]

Both awful

Very awful

Physical scaling at the moment > elemental

But neither of those are good lmao, vendor both and transmute Aug white quartersaves for flat phys, %, attack speed, melee gems+

Check vendors every level up as well

[lament stone]

the one on the right is better out of those two

but you can defeinitely do better than that at this stage

[kindred fiber]

what is the best area to farm xp in act Im currently lvl 16 at the ramparts

[lament stone]

just doing the campaign

[craggy gyro]

Highest lvl zone you can access

[lament stone]

theres no reason to farm exp at any point, you will always get the most exp from zones at the same level as you

[kindred fiber]

ah so just farm spots for items I see thank you

[lament stone]

you shouldnt need to farm at all during the campaign

[kindred fiber]

well my build keeps bricking at act II so im taking my time and trying things, whether you need to or not so thats why i wanted to know

[long sequoia]

Clearing a campaign map fully just once was enough to keep up with the level I think

[lament stone]

are you prioritising life and elemental resistances on gear, movespeed on boots and damage mods on weapon?

[kindred fiber]

tried that and I couldnt do enough damage and got stuck, so atm im a glass cannon and having no issue so far, but it always changed half way through act II so i wanna know what im doing before i get in there again

[lament stone]

are you keeping your weapon up to date

[kindred fiber]

yeah and im focusing my build this time around with much better results

[lament stone]

you should constantly be looking out for upgrades, your damage will start to suffer if you dont upgrade your weapon for too long and then it just gets harder to try and get a new weapon because it takes longer to kill stuff and it just spirals out of control

[kindred fiber]

i change it out quite alot maybe i just spread my build out too much the previous runs, this time has been going alot better

[azure lava]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932 has tips for maintaining upgrades/gear without using the trade site

the moment you think, "My gear is good enough" is the moment problems start

[lament stone]

focusing on life/elemental resistances on armour shouldnt affect your damage because you wont find many useful damage mods on armour

[long sequoia]

tbf unless it's a melee class, just a half decent weapon should be more than enough for axt 1

[lament stone]

your tree should be focused on damage

theres not much you can do defensively with the tree early on in the campaign

[kindred fiber]

yeah I realized that so i am not really prioritizing that,

i ahvent found a chest piece better than what i currently have but the minute i get one im changing. im not struggling in act I i was just curious if there was an xp farm spot since the praetor maus was a good item farm spot

[azure lava]

are you checking vendors and/or using transmutes on white chest pieces?

[kindred fiber]

yeah i learned about disenchantment now so ive been farming scraps orbs and shards like nuts

havent had much luck on good white pieces worth crafting up yet

[azure lava]

including artificer shards, too, right? Those are probably some of the most important to get in the campaign imo

[kindred fiber]

yep working on those too ❤️

i finally got all the pieces just trying to figure out the puzzle

ive got more lvl 3 skill orbs than i know what to do with now

this is all great info though and appreciated ❤️

[nimble pasture]

Is there something I need to do more than firing the totems around for that boss to spawn ? Kinda confused.

[lament stone]

the effigies are unrelated to the boss

[azure lava]

that effigy area isn't the boss arena. that gives you a fire res and rarity buff for the zone

[nimble pasture]

bruh

[azure lava]

the boss is elsewhere

(in the zone)

[nimble pasture]

I cleared 99% of the zone xD ffs

[azure lava]

my guess is it's here

or further north

[nimble pasture]

yeah i'm heading there rn

Yep it's there :C

Btw i've seen that it gives extra spirit, does it do the same for everything in cruel difficulty ?

So i'll have +30 at act 1/3 again ?

[azure lava]

you get 100 total base spirit after you finish the campaign

[craggy gyro]

Cruel act 6, bog witch gives spirit

[nimble pasture]

Oh so i guess there's one at 40 and one that doesnt give any ?

[azure lava]

30 from a1n freythorn, 30 from a3n bog witch, and 40 from a3c bog witch

[nimble pasture]

Ah :C okay

Wished it was the one at act 1

[craggy gyro]

Hey everyone, I’m sorry to bother but I’m new and had some questions about the witch

[clever geode]

just ask

[craggy gyro]

How exactly should I be using contagion/essence drain together?

[clever geode]

just use them

when they die

it spread

contagion spread i think

then if they are affected with essence

it spread together

then use the

unearth

[craggy gyro]

I know contagion spreads

But should I be hitting the infected target with essence drain right after?

[clever geode]

the minion spawn from deadbody that died with contagion will cause contagion when attack

yes

[craggy gyro]

and when a lot of people die I use unearth

[azure lava]

I think, technically, contagion takes the sum of all the dps of the chaos damage over time debuffs on a target and spreads it as one big packet with contagion

[craggy gyro]

Right ok just making sure I was doing the combo

[craggy gyro]

The effects of essence drain spread with the contagion? Oh cool

[azure lava]

Contagion will also spread poison, curses, and the decaying hex debuff from curses

[azure lava]

Yeah, that's the whole point of using them together

[craggy gyro]

oh the bone crawlers spread it too?

Didn’t know

[haughty depot]

can someone explain what is wrong with balbala and her stupid poison dagger attack that hits me even though i'm literally 90 degrees away from where she's aiming them at?

[azure lava]

If they were raised from a contaminated corpse

[craggy gyro]

oki ty I wasn’t quite sure

right

[safe lance]

maybe its a heat seeking dagger?

Idk if others have complained about it but the usual issue people have with her, is the poison hide and seek mechanic

[craggy gyro]

I don’t want to follow any meta or guide so am I ok to experiment a bit as the Witch

I just beat Lachann of Endless Lament

[safe lance]

he was not a bad guy 😦

[azure lava]

What do you mean "ok to experiment"? Isn't asking for permission kinda defeating the point of experimenting?

[craggy gyro]

Mm, what I mean is it possible to “soft lock” yourself from not building in a very strict way

[safe lance]

no

not like poe1

but you can become very poor

[azure lava]

Nothing is permanent except your class, the ascendancy you pick, and two quest reward choices

[safe lance]

and stuck in a sense

How tf are you still editing that post? Don't you have better things to do before you get muted and/or banned?

[fresh mulch]

how do i end this one?

[azure lava]

I think there's a statue in that zone. Idk if I've ever done it tbh

[fresh mulch]

cuz thats probably the gate but i cleared like 99% of the map

and maybe i missed it but idk

[azure lava]

That's not it

[fresh mulch]

?

[analog patrol]

so this just happened again

[fresh mulch]

what should i look for

[fresh mulch]

happend to me few times too :C

[safe lance]

it is a small shrine type thing with a useless inscribed ultimatum

[azure lava]

I think it's a statue in a little garden area? I'm not sure.

[safe lance]

I personally think that quest isnt worth doing.

[fresh mulch]

then i found it and it gave me only chaos trial token

[azure lava]

@craggy gyro don't delete your questions lmao

Hard to answer them that way

[craggy gyro]

no one was answering them anyway Dw

I’ll just keep playing

[azure lava]

???

We pop in and out

[azure lava]

The entire point of having a written forum for this is to go back and read stuff

[azure lava]

Yeah that looks like a statue of chaos to me

[fresh mulch]

then what is this again?

is this visual but like the azak witch?

[weak moat]

Anyone need help doing their first Sekemes or Chaos trials? Kinda bored and willing to help.

[fresh mulch]

no but if i could get about lvl 50 sekhema trial token i would be very happy

I don't have a token unfortunately.

[ancient walrus]

I've been collecting jewelry of all rarity till now and ik white saphire ring and white stellar amulet are worth a good amount of ex, but is there a point in keeping any jewelry besides those?

[azure lava]

I think I barely caught something about if witch is a fine thing to experiment with and whatnot, or what ascendancy to pick?
All classes have amazing and terrible builds. All classes can use all skills and gear. The thing your build does is far more dependent on the skills you use than the class you pick

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[weak moat]

Gotcha

[azure lava]

Check the trade site and see if they go for anything

[tender otter]

hello, i have at the end of act 2, and i just realised that for some reason my base fire resistance whas -10%
i thook of each of my item to see if one of them reduced my fire resistance, but i saw nothing.
Does somebody know why it happened

[azure lava]

You lose 10% to all ele resistances when you finish each act

For - 60% total after cruel act 3

[safe lance]

There should be a pop up that stays for like 5 seconds that says this btw, could be bugged sometimes or easily missed by the player.

[azure lava]

It's very easy to miss, imo

Should really be a box that doesn't go away until dismissed, imo

[scenic kraken]

can I change the instilled skills I put into an amulet?

[azure lava]

You can overwrite it with a new one, yes. Also #2┃after-acts-help

[fiery flax]

im getting absolutely eviscerated at spires of the deshar right now, lvl 29 sorcerer any advice

[azure lava]

Prioritize resists and life on gear. Your res and life are atrocious

[fiery flax]

are they that bad haha

ive only been prioritizing energy shield on gear

[azure lava]

Your staff is also pretty meh. It's basically 114% inc spell damage and that's basically it

[azure lava]

Oof.

Movement speed on boots > life+resistances >>> every other stat (on non-weapons)

[fiery flax]

hmmm good to know

what stats are better for my staff? i assumed the pure dmg increase would be best

[azure lava]

+level of spell gems is the best. %spell/ele damage is solid, too. But cast speed is next on the list. % added damage is okay at best.

This guide has tips for gearing during the campaign https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

[fiery flax]

ill give it a read, thanks

[glacial palm]

I would actually be surprised to hear this one.

At least based on new contag.

Since it spreads inherent effects of the damaging effects that it passes (eg. spreading impending doom when it spreads a decaying hex+impending doom supported curse)

[tender otter]

Thanks, i thought it would be more like the first game, a large chunk at the end of the campgain and at the middle

[glacial palm]

imo it's a nice system 😅
Slowly pokes you with the reminder that you need to build defenses, rather than finishing the campaign and suddenly everything is one-shotting you.

[azure lava]

Yeah I regret how I phrased it. I more meant that it takes all the debuffs with it and refreshes their durations as well. But it also amplifies them when it jumps. So it simultaneously remembers what they were and also makes them a new thing with amped damage. It's a very weird skill

[glacial palm]

Oh, that would definitely make more sense

[fiery flax]

when you say this do you mean I should prioritize an item like mitts that gives me 66 life and 58 armour even though it doesnt any energy shield?

[azure lava]

100% yes

[fiery flax]

comparing these two for example

actually now that i look those are mediocre anyway

[azure lava]

If you have the strength for them, at least

And if you can somehow equip them, I'd definitely augment those gloves as well

[fiery flax]

im very overleveled into intelligence i think i can probably switch a bit to strength

[azure lava]

Thats two birds with one stone since strength gives you life

[fiery flax]

perfect

[fiery flax]

is it worth bringing them to rare? i have a regal kicking around

[azure lava]

If a magic has two good mods then I'd say let it rip, personally

Ie, boots with movement speed + a resist or another piece with life + a resist

[fiery flax]

i gotcha

where do jewels go in the skill tree btw? i cannot figure it out for the life of me

[azure lava]

(not including the implicit resistance mods of some rings)

[azure lava]

Jewel sockets

[fiery flax]

what do those look like

[azure lava]

Empty holes where an attribute node would be. They're all over the place. A lot of them are on the outer edge of the tree

[fiery flax]

ahh i see im nowhere near any

[azure lava]

That worries me. It makes me think you took way too many small nodes

[glacial palm]

If you find one, trace in towards the center of the circle.

[fiery flax]

this is my tree currently

[glacial palm]

Eventually that line will branch off to each side, making a smaller circle.

Should also find some nearby.

Ah, that's why.

You're basically traveling among the innermost circle, where there are no jewel sockets.

[wind swift]

can anyone help carry me through a trial so i can get the ascend thingy?

[glacial palm]

Try global chat or #2┃looking-for-group

[azure lava]

Every red dot is a small node your tree doesn't need to stay connected

[fiery flax]

i see

[azure lava]

Oh, I goofed on one

[fiery flax]

is there something i should be targetting in skill trees then? ive been prioritizing damge

[azure lava]

You need the 2nd red dot from the top

[fiery flax]

got it

[azure lava]

Damage is good. But maximize the number of notables you get and minimize the number of small nodes. You want to avoid closed loops if at all possible

[fiery flax]

notables are the big circles i assume?

[glacial palm]

I'm a bit confused what you're heading down towards on the left though. Seems like you've gone sorc, gotten your first ascendancy, and are going down towards armor/skill effect instead of up towards your elemental notables?

[azure lava]

I call them medium, but yeah. Keystones are what I'd call big

[fiery flax]

im currently goiing for this circle of fire dmg at the bottom

as im almost exclusively using ice & fire

[azure lava]

Why ice and fire instead of focusing on one?

[fiery flax]

well i dont have enough fire spells to cover my bar so im using both, but im prioritizing fire

[azure lava]

And why did you take the lightning damage at the start?

Why do you want to cover your bar?

[fiery flax]

early mistake, i havent respecced a single point until this convo

[azure lava]

You shouldn't want to cover your bar for the sake of covering it

That's like saying I want to write a book with 20 chapters

Before I know what I'm writing

[fiery flax]

i am not sure what spells are most efficient unfortunately

ive kind of figured some out but i use most of them

[azure lava]

Well think of it this way: you can only cast one thing at a time. So any time you're spending not doing your highest damage thing is inefficient

[glacial palm]

I would also consider that for the points invested, in the future there's some nice clusters for casters when you head north (and you'll stay closer towards stats you generally want, like mana/Energy Shield/cast speed)
There's a wonderful set of fire/ice clusters up top here, 7-8 points instead of the twelve spent on that travel.

4 points away, there's even a neat section that's practically tailored to your build, boosting both fire and ice damage.

[azure lava]

Look for combos within skills/support gems as well

Flame wall is nice because it buffs projectiles that pass through it

Eye of Winter inflicts enemies with critical weakness so your subsequent spells hit harder

[glacial palm]

I was going to go into a spiel about how I love extra buttons, but Byron's still covering the stuff I wanted to say 😅

Like I'll happily do a bunch of extra setup, but sadly we can only press one button at once 😦

[azure lava]

I love extra buttons as long as long as they serve a purpose

[fiery flax]

right now i only have these skills

and flammability*

[glacial palm]

Honestly I don't mind what you have here too much.

[icy radish]

Is raging spirits bugged? It's tanking my FPS so bad.

[azure lava]

Tons of people do the whole campaign with like 3 skills total. Spark + flame wall + orb of storms, for example

[fiery flax]

wow

[glacial palm]

Like there are cases where I can't cast incin so I would cast fusillade instead, lead in with frostbolt+nova and shatter whatever freezes, that sort of thing.

[azure lava]

It's about synergy over quantity

[fiery flax]

yeah that makes a lot of sense

[azure lava]

There's a node on the tree that nascota pointed out that adds 25% of your damage as fire vs frozen targets

So you can build up a freeze with some buttons and then blast em with a huge ignite

There are so many combos out there, but don't just fill up your bar for no reason. Support gems are also precious real estate. You don't want super strong supports lounging on a skill you barely use

[fiery flax]

i definitely underutilize my support stones

[azure lava]

One of my go-to leveling setups uses orb of storms and two copies of the same gem (lightning rod) so I can use two different sets of support gems on it. One for single target and one for aoe.

Support gems are massive

[fiery flax]

very interesting i didnt know you could do that

[gilded veldt]

How can I tell if my item is actually up for sale? I have it in a public tab and set the price, but nothing is really indicating it's up for sale. Is there nothing to really show this?

[clever geode]

i see this i want to cry

Act 2 done in 30 hours

Jeesh I’m exhausted lmao

[craggy gyro]

Warrior is the most trash thing ever put into a video game

[dusky burrow]

meh

[frosty root]

Hey yall, is the Revered Resin Amber Amulet increased crit chance removed? I cant seem to find the change anywhere.

[dusky burrow]

since when did it have crit?

[frosty root]

the fextra wiki has it listed as having %100 crit hit chance

[hearty tundra]

Does having higher rarity increase drop rates?

[plush mantle]

don't trust fextra, barely maintained and frequently made up

[dusky burrow]

... and this is why we never use fextra.

[frosty root]

yikes what the recomended wiki

[dusky burrow]

they mixed up the stats

those explicits are from ungil's harmony

[plush mantle]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Path_of_Exile_2_Wiki

[thorny needle]

When are they going to fix the thing where your computer freezes for no reason while loading a map

[plush mantle]

https://poe2db.tw/ if you just want the stats on something

[dusky burrow]

and poe2db.tw for when poe2wiki hasn't been updated (it's community-maintained)

[frosty root]

thank you I thought I was going crazy

[thorny needle]

As a new player, that’s annoying

[wary summit]

I wanna make a spark build

But my minion build is only level 30

[old bluff]

yall know how to finish this

here my map

[steady charm]

in caravan there is an actual ramp you walk off on and it will lead to your quest location

[meager flower]

I wonder, what kind of support skills can we put in Berserk aura? Not the usual Precision, clarity, cannibalism etc.

[elder ember]

walk north-west from where vendors and stash are

[restive turret]

What support gems should I put on "Archmage"

[dusky burrow]

lightning mastery

clarity if you can fit it

[restive turret]

Ty boss

[rocky light]

new player here, not sure if this the place to ask - Anyone know how do I get cast on shock?

I am lvl 33 / 62 intel and have a uncut lvl 8 gem but cannot see the gem, anyone?

[restive turret]

In case I wanna use Mana remnants with archmage do I need to find gear with spirit on them or is there another way to get more than 100 spirit?

[elder ember]

it's found in the elemental category

or just click "all gems" and search for it

and you need a spirit gem, not skill gem

[rocky light]

er,,,whats a spirit gem

[elder ember]

its like a skill gem but for persistent buffs

requires spirit to use

https://poe2db.tw/Spirit_Gems#SpiritGemsGem

[rocky light]

oh....

so i need to farm bosses

[elder ember]

you dont get many in the campaign, iirc they are guaranteed drops from the bosses that give you +spirit

you can also buy them cheap on trade

[rocky light]

ah i see

ty very much sir

[elder ember]

shit, not as cheap as i thought, maybe i should be selling them lol

[rocky light]

1 orb of alc

[elder ember]

im searching for lvl8 spirit gems and the cheapest I see is 15ex

[rocky light]

All I see is lvl 17

[elder ember]

lower level ones are more expensive because they only drop in campaign

[rocky light]

yea now i see

[elder ember]

higher levels ones drop like candy in endgame

[rocky light]

sigh, I cannot farm for those right?

[elder ember]

technically you can but its rng

no way to target farm them

[rocky light]

...ok now i need to find another way to get that cast on shock..

[sturdy sedge]

How do I copy and paste items from trade onto PoB2

[elder ember]

ctrl+c

[sturdy sedge]

there doesn't seem to be a copy/paste option on trade like with PoE1 no?

[sturdy sedge]

this is for items in game

I mean items on trade

[elder ember]

you cant

iirc

[sturdy sedge]

like if I want to copy/paste this item

thats stupid

[elder ember]

manually craft the item

was it ever possible in pob1?

[sturdy sedge]

yes, it was stupid useful for figuring out if items were a dmg increase or not

poe1 has this ^

[heady dust]

Hey everyone, I am new to POE2 (never played number 1), I am playing the monk but can't seem to be doing any type of damage, can anyone help out please?

[plush mantle]

monk struggles early on if you use quarterstaff

[heady dust]

What should I use?

[pine loom]

Hey hey, I'm new to PoE, and am enjoying hardcore. I'm about to go up against King Mist, any tips?

[plush mantle]

can't really say, I suffered through until Charged Staff

[plush mantle]

red means stop, purple means go

[heady dust]

Is that the avatar thing

Where you throw the powers with your staff?

[plush mantle]

it's a mark he puts on you, he also gives you an audio cue

[heady dust]

I meant the Charged Staff

[plush mantle]

no, it's a buff that uses power charges to give you lightning shockwaves added to your attacks

[pine loom]

Okay, thanks

[heady dust]

Does it make the character better?

[dense dirge]

did GGG nerfed many of the early bosses or is grenade mercenary just op?

swapped to it and im just blasting through the bosses

[plush mantle]

it nearly doubles your damage as it counts as an additional attack

Tempest Bell is when you get good single target and a bit of nearby clear, but Charged Staff and Herald of Ice is when you really start to feel good with quarterstaff

[heady dust]

Alright cool

Cos I am weak as fark

[hard cypress]

Put martial tempo on quarterstaff auto attack. Use killing paw to get charge and falling thunder to clear the screen

Get bell asap and spam for rares and bosses

[heady dust]

What's martial tempo?

[drifting helm]

its a support gem to put on your skills

[heady dust]

Oh yea, I found it thank you

Just put that on quarterstaff strike?

[hard cypress]

Ya. You'll use the baisc attack till you get ice strike or tempest flurry

[heady dust]

Is tempest flurry good to get?

Oh yes

Cool

1 more level

[hard cypress]

Very good. Once you get, spam that instead of the basic attack (move martial tempo to this one)

[heady dust]

Alright

[hard cypress]

Martial tempo increases attack speed so its a direct dps increase

[heady dust]

Do I just make it my left click?

(auto attack)

[hard cypress]

Falling thunder with the charges is very powerful

ye

[drifting helm]

gives 25% attack speed, goated gem

for now ya

later you wont use quarterstaff strike at all

[hard cypress]

Tempest flurry (or) ice strike based on what element you want will replace this basic attack completely

[heady dust]

Easy, I want to go lightning

[hard cypress]

I kinda gave up on power charges after getting flurry + bell

Just bing bong bong bong bell with flurry

There is some support gem which reduces duration of the bell but you can use it twice. You can always have a bell up with that support skill

Get quarterstaff with as much phy dmg as possible

[heady dust]

What other support gem should I put on tempest flurry with martial tempo?

[craggy gyro]

Is it okay to post links in here before I ask my actual question?

It’s about an old build guide and I’m having issues seeing which to use, the one on the site or the pob

And I tried posting in the #1019646743299764255 but it will be the wrong tag if I use it

[meager galleon]

as long as the link is relevant to what you want to ask about

[craggy gyro]

https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/herald-of-agony-passive-skill-tree-gem-links#progression so which should I use for League starter, the one that’s listed in the guide or the pob?

[safe lance]

This is poe1 tho

[meager galleon]

uhm

yeah thats poe1 build

you are in poe2 channels

[craggy gyro]

Oof sorry guys. I thought I was in the poe1 section haha

[jaunty bluff]

How can I deal with large packs of fast mobs in maps as a lvl 64 early endgame shock stormweaver? If they hit me I cant cast any spells because I get interrupted and my damage is usually enough to kill them. Its just that I get swarmed into a corner and stuck. Do I use blink instead of archmage?

is the dps counter affected by critical hit chance?

[wary summit]

I’m only level 30 on my minion build

But I’m starting a spark build tommrow lol

Spark looks fun

What level does it click? Cause I think ima run a leveling build till I get to that

[craggy gyro]

I need technical support DM

would love some help with mercenary curr level 24

not sure if i should go lightning bow or ice

[meager galleon]

bow or crossbow?

just checking to be sure

[craggy gyro]

both

LMAO

im mixing both for permafreeze

[meager galleon]

well, bow has the most stuff for lightning i think

[craggy gyro]

doesnt seem to be working..........

yeah i have l6 lightning arrow voltaic mark and electrocuting arrow

feels like i do nothing to the bosses rn

lmaoaoao

[meager galleon]

so there are 2 base ways to go for lightning i know of (that are solid)

maybe 3

[white jewel]

anyone got any tips for finding support gems? i'm starting act 3 and i don't think i've gotten a single one since act 1

[meager galleon]

lightning rod + magnetic salvo, for just giant burst dmg
lightning rod + oos + lightning arrow for basically a million small hits for giant dps
lightning arrow with cold conversion and herald of ice to explode shit with the herald procs

[craggy gyro]

these are with lvl 5 or 6 skill gems?

[meager galleon]

magnetic salvo is like lvl14 or something, its i think the last tier you get access to

oos is an elemental spell thats like lvl8ish ? not sure

it usually takes a while to build up synergies, options are quite limited early on

[plush mantle]

there's 3 guaranteed drops in Act 2 for support gems: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/act-2-campaign-secrets

[meager galleon]

oos is tier 3
salvo is tier 13.

[craggy gyro]

rip./..

im stuck at ekbab LMAO

im gonna lose my mind

[meager galleon]

you can do lightning rod + lightning arrow

those 2 are early skills and synergize well together

[white jewel]

anything repeatable? i've got like 10 slots open and it's crippling my damage

[meager galleon]

are you an attack or spell build?

[plush mantle]

no, but support gems aren't that uncommon and get more common as you level

[white jewel]

that has not been my experience

I genuinely haven't found one in so long

[meager galleon]

also you dont need to have all skills fully supported

[plush mantle]

right, and I've already pointed out that you missed at least 3 😉

[white jewel]

yeah and imma go get those

[meager galleon]

you primarily need your 1-3 main dmg skills fully kitted

[craggy gyro]

i killed him

this mf is SO annoying the sorcerer dies and can still place skills while the damn moose is attacking me

holy shit

[white jewel]

i mean on my main skills i have open slots on 3 of them

[plush mantle]

there's also 4 in Act 1. So that's 7 supports just from guarenteed drops

how you missed all of these is what's confusing me

[white jewel]

i probably got the ones in act 1

i got a fair few there, but picked poorly/changed out skills as i leveled, so i have 5 that are unusable

[plush mantle]

fair

[white jewel]

like i get its not the end of the world, but it's been a kind of absurdly long time.

[plush mantle]

support gems tend to take your skills down alternate paths more than provide pure power (although there are a few that do that), so you don't really need them for more than a couple of skills

[white jewel]

i mean, bigger aoe, longer, faster freeze

extra cc, cast speed

there's a lot that boost dps, or enable faster dps through other means

i'm playing chronomancer, so i spam a shit ton of spells

and they've all got pretty good support skills

[craggy gyro]

any advice for using exalted orbs?

[plush mantle]

don't use more than 1 on an item unless it's REALLY good

[craggy gyro]

so only uniques?

[plush mantle]

can't exalt a unique 🙂

[craggy gyro]

o

i see

so try to get a good roll ig? or

i am just winging it LMaoa

[white jewel]

so... went to the shrine of bones... there's no lootable effagy here??

[plush mantle]

in general, you should trasmute/augment items that have significantly higher base stats than what you're currently using. So if you're using quarterstaves, for example, if you see a white quarterstaff that's at least half the damage of your current one, then try to get a good prefix from tranmute/augment. Regal if it's good, then exalt if at least 2 of those mods are the good stuff

[plush mantle]

that implies you already got it

[white jewel]

frustrating, cause I definitely didn't

at best it dropped and i didn't notice

[plush mantle]

I'm getting increasingly convinced your loot filter is hiding uncut support gems

[white jewel]

that seems unlikely

[plush mantle]

might be the mental loot filter 😉

[white jewel]

also unlikely, i was still picking up every white most of the way through act 2

moar gold

i think most likely is either 1, i'm stupid/blind, or 2, RNJesus is having his way with me.

[plush mantle]

I feel like you would have noticed the sarcophagus guarded by 100 terracotta warriors...

[craggy gyro]

ah i see

what about bows/crossbows should i look out for

[white jewel]

uhh, definitely did

[craggy gyro]

assuming im at act 2 level 22-24

[plush mantle]

that's also a support gem

[white jewel]

there were a few of those

o.o

that i remember looting

i don't remember getting a supp gem, though it's possible i'm going crazy

[plush mantle]

this is a giant room with a TON of warriors and a sarcophagus in the middle

[white jewel]

yeah like, circularly laid out right

[plush mantle]

yep

[white jewel]

in that map with the khepri boss

least i think that was the same map

[mellow shard]

hello everyone, am quite new around here, where can i find someone to play the story with and progress together ?

[white jewel]

idk i feel like i should've gotten more than 19 at this point in the game. maybe not?

lvl 39?

20* counting is hard

with how easy it is to screw up gems

[plush mantle]

mostly want good rolls more than specific affixes. so 50%+ physical damage, 40%+ elemental damage with attacks, attack speed

[craggy gyro]

current bow so far

[real glade]

Honestly is there any point in farming anything on your own in this game? I spent hours trying to farm/craft a crossbow.. then I checked auction house for the first time and found a crossbow 100 times better than mine for a ridiculously cheap price..

[craggy gyro]

wait theres an auction house

[plush mantle]

that's a good bow, probably last until Act 3

[craggy gyro]

LMAO

[white jewel]

play SSF, then there will be :)

[craggy gyro]

really? LMAO

[real glade]

I don't think anyone plays hardcore?

[white jewel]

people definitely play hardcore, but that's not what SSF is

[plush mantle]

20 support gems?

[white jewel]

yis

[meager galleon]

that bow definitely wont last until act 3

[white jewel]

SSF is Solo Self Found. ie, singleplayer game

[meager galleon]

please dont misguide ppl here Silvanis

if you wanna shit post go to #2┃general

[craggy gyro]

awh

i was hyped

[plush mantle]

feel like you'd have more of a problem with wanting Teir2 support gems

[craggy gyro]

but act 2 for sure?

[meager galleon]

its okayish

[white jewel]

i'm managing my expectations. i'd like any atm

[real glade]

I don't want to put myself in a disadvantage. Was just wondering if it's not better just buying every gear rather than trying to craft yourself

[white jewel]

my main "gtf off me" ability has no support gems, which is making me sad.

[meager galleon]

for an attack build, upgrading your weapon is very important, because the weapons dmg is used as base dmg for your skill dmg calculations

so you want to always be looking for a better dps weapon

[craggy gyro]

wait wheres the auction house

[white jewel]

i mean, disadvantage compared to what? if you're playing SSF the only goal is to have fun

[craggy gyro]

yeah that one i know i think

[meager galleon]

its a currency exchange, for orbs and fragments and stuff like that

[craggy gyro]

oh i see

i thought i could get a good bow/xbow for cheap lmaoaoao

[white jewel]

and to suffer when you get item drought

[meager galleon]

if you wanna buy gear you need to go to the trade site

also in general, acts should be very beatable without trading for gear

[craggy gyro]

u right

im just taking 4-5 mins for a boss

and like 5-6 tries

...............

[meager galleon]

sounds about on par with my experience

also played a bow build

[craggy gyro]

so its normal early game? HAHAH

[meager galleon]

yeah, early game is supposed to be a resource and power struggle

[white jewel]

is there a tier list for classes? curious how op mine is lol

cause i did not feel like early game was a power struggle

[plush mantle]

for context, I was thinking it would be good until level 30, which is a little before Act 3, true
But both the composite bow and Dualstring bow have similiar base damage to the Recurve and the next tier of affixes aren't until ~35. So other than getting a triple prefix, what makes an upgrade in that level range?

[meager galleon]

fair, just gotta be more clear like that in a new player channel

[meager galleon]

tier lists like that arent much of a thing in poe

[white jewel]

really? that's kinda surprising

[meager galleon]

because of how rng gear is and how big of a build variaty there is, even 2 ppl doing the same build can have wastly different power cos gear rng

[white jewel]

never seen a game that wasn't drowning in unneeded tier lists

huh, ig that's fair?

[meager galleon]

and even the same base build core can be executed in a bunch of different ways

[white jewel]

sure

ig i just got lucky with what i picked and what i got then

cause i'm only now starting to struggle with anything

[meager galleon]

there are for sure random youtube videos with "the best builds" and what not, mostly from the newer content creators that came in with poe2

the old school guys that played like 10k+ hours of poe1 dont do that shit

[white jewel]

lol

[plush mantle]

doesn't help that the community tends to divide builds into "god tier meta" and "complete trash" 😉

[white jewel]

😂

[meager galleon]

yeah what Silvanis says

ppl will only write guides for the best builds, and then bunch of ppl copy them

[white jewel]

except when not what Silvanis says

[white jewel]

^

[meager galleon]

so theres like a huge amount of pretty good builds that ppl made without guides themself, just nobody knows about them

we cleared that misudnerstanding :)

[plush mantle]

didn't even murder them! 😉

[white jewel]

lol ik just fuckin around

[meager galleon]

like i'm a person with 7k+ hours in poe1, i never followed a build guide, and only a few times made a build that incidentally was a meta skill

i always plan my own builds, that nobody is doing quite like me

and i always manage to clear pretty much everything except uber pinnacle bosses(cos grind for access to those fights is annoying)

[white jewel]

hey so wanna guess what just dropped

[meager galleon]

neat

[craggy gyro]

LMAo

[eager basin]

ssf?

[craggy gyro]

i have 7 level ones not seen a 2 yet

[meager galleon]

saf?

[white jewel]

see, the trick to getting support gems is to go on the discord and bitch about it for 30 minutes instead of farming

[eager basin]

dunno what my fingers were doing there

ssf

[meager galleon]

no i always play trade league

but i do limit my trading

[eager basin]

accessing ubers is a grind in trade?

[meager galleon]

i dont like buying boss fight fragments

[eager basin]

we even have exchange now

though that's only since this league

[meager galleon]

its not about if we got exchange or not, i just thing that if i can't get there myself, i have no business fighting the boss

[balmy imp]

why are bosses so incredibly difficult to beat?

[craggy gyro]

^

early game ig

[eager basin]

odd mindset unless your build can't do pinnacles

[white jewel]

is there a place to see what all the different icons mean

[eager basin]

in which case there would be no point trying ubers anyway

[meager galleon]

also tbh, fightning ubers in poe1 just doesnt seem fun to me >_>

[eager basin]

t17s existing now kinda fucked with the separation but before then the entry requirements were super super easy, just tedious and sometimes not cheap

anyway, off topic

[meager galleon]

yeah

[fluid maple]

Hey everyone, I forgot to do the sacrificial heart quest in normal difficulty, but now I can't seem to complete it any more? Is there a clever way?

[plush mantle]

#2┃looking-for-group

[brisk sundial]

i found this on my witch, is this good for my monk build?

[plush mantle]

not a fan of the low life/mana rolls and no resist

[brisk sundial]

oh i thought monks were all about evasion

everyday i learn more about how much i dont know

lmao

[plush mantle]

I've heard that ends at some point in PoE, but PoE1 hasn't been out long enough for it to happen 😉

[brisk sundial]

how asbout this?

[white jewel]

damn, 11 years isn't long enough?

[plush mantle]

Ghostwrithe does get used in some builds, but a lot of invoker monks go for the ascendancy node that gives you spirit based on the evasion and energy shield of your body armor, and Ghostwrithe won't give you much (the life conversion doesn't count for that node)

[plush mantle]

only method I can think of is to teleport to someone who's in the correct part of Act 3

[fluid maple]

@plush mantle I thought you couldn't teleport to the past in act 3 on normal?

[craggy gyro]

what should i use my lvl 7 skill gem for

[eager basin]

I'm pretty sure there's a guide for getting back on maxroll

[craggy gyro]

curr using ice/lightning for bow/crossbow

also using gas grenade plus explosive round scattershot combo

[fluid maple]

ok thanks, I'll give that a go

[hasty sorrel]

can i change jewels in the passive tree ?

[boreal hedge]

Idk if any of the advice givers I spoke to earlier are here, but ty. I just demolished a boss that gave me hell on my first playthrough 💪

[plush mantle]

yep, they unsocket

[hasty sorrel]

ok ty

[plush mantle]

that's a lot of skills 🙂

[white jewel]

that reminds me, i got a socket like 10 levels ago

[craggy gyro]

yeah......

too many i think

[white jewel]

so what your'e saying is i shouldn't be using 7 skills fairly actively

[craggy gyro]

LMAO IKR

ofasmafoafsjadfnkjnaf

[white jewel]

flame wall, freezing shards, incinerate, and frost wall being my main rotation, unearth for when i need distractions, solar/storm orb for increased single target and flamability for increased single target

[plush mantle]

well, I'd say the problem is having 7 skills that do anything coherent with each other, espeically if you're using the regularly 🙂
aqzzyyy is running like 4 different elements with different methods of applying things and it's just a bit of a mess

[white jewel]

ahh, fair

i know nothing outside of my class lol

mine are generally "run around screaming while rolling my face on the keyboard"

[vague hollow]

what runes give attack speed?

oh has to be soul core

[meager galleon]

yes

[vague hollow]

oh wow they're expensive wtf

dang

how much quality does each whetstone give?

[meager galleon]

varries based on the item

should tell you in the tooltip

maybe need to hold alt for details on some tagged word there

[frigid mango]

I just completed my first trial and got the Stormweaver ascendancy. I'm torn how to spend the first 2 points. I can either get Strike Twice, or Arcane Surge (Constant Gale). Is there an obvious pick that most choose for their first 2 ascendancy points for Stormweaver?

[vague hollow]

for a rare

i'm holding alt on the whetstone but not saying how much % qual it gives

is it just 1% per whetstone?

[meager galleon]

it depends on item level, but i dont remember the actual values

[vague hollow]

ah ok

can't find the info anywhere x.x

[rocky coyote]

are area of effect nodes worth it? from what I understand the actual radius increase for aoe skills is very tiny

[vague hollow]

unrelated but hell yeah, just found my first divine

[meager galleon]

depends on the skill, its more useful for skills with bigger base aoe

also its diminishing returns

so first 50% inc aoe does a lot more than the next 50%

[rocky coyote]

I see, thanks

[meager galleon]

i can go more into the details why that is if you want, but probably not important

[rocky coyote]

eh no need to explain the math, thanks though

but like, should I stop taking them at some point?

I am playing warrior

[meager galleon]

yeah probably

[rocky coyote]

right, so how much should I aim for?

50%? 100%?

[meager galleon]

this is from poe1, but i assume poe2 uses the same system

[rocky coyote]

ahh I understand now

getting to 200% seems unrealistic anyways

so 100% it is

[meager galleon]

there was also different amounts of stats available in poe1

[stray pewter]

what is that filter ? for item drop

[craggy gyro]

just got my first orb of alchemy

any suggestions

[rocky coyote]

FilterBlade?

[meager galleon]

item filter is basically a style sheet for loot labels

[obsidian forge]

buy items with orbs once the game gets too hard

[craggy gyro]

o shit

[meager galleon]

it hides stuff (ppl who made the filter) think is useless, and highlights stuff they think can be good

[hearty tundra]

Does Close Combat and Momentum cancel each other out? Or do they work perfectly?

[delicate geode]

when should i start using acrobatics?

[azure lava]

Spent so long looking at the main tree I missed that

[plush mantle]

the "no bonus" on close combat referrers to only Close Combat, so between 2 and 3.5 meters you're getting benefits from both...but only in that range

[azure lava]

I don't think that's correct. Momentum cares about how far you move, close combat cares about how far the target is from you. So if you dash 10 meters to a target that you then hit while it's 1 meter away from you, I think you get full value from both

Looking for buyer. Buys from the market sells to me keeps the profit. 1hr work 3div + profit. PM Discord

[hearty tundra]

i figured thats how it would work

[plush mantle]

that would be true and Siphoning Strike is a teleport, so I defer to your wisdom 🙂

was thinking in the abstract of like a bow skill

[azure lava]

Siphoning strike says dash in the description

[plush mantle]

so yeah, as long as you move 2m or more to do your strike, it'll work

[hearty tundra]

nice nice

[pulsar spruce]

About 13k+ evasion rating is a good spot.

[delicate geode]

oh jeez i got some ways to go then

[pulsar spruce]

If you can get to Beastial Skin and find a good body armour it should help a lot.

[delicate geode]

whats beastial skin? a node?

[pulsar spruce]

Yep. Right side of the tree and a little down. Star-ish shaped triangle

[delicate geode]

oh i already have it on haha no wonder i couldnt find it

[pulsar spruce]

What evasion on your body armour?

[delicate geode]

i got a pure evasion body lined up just need to level a bit more

[delicate geode]

rn its only 150 but i have a 1000 lined up

[pulsar spruce]

Oh perfect. You'll be much better then. Do you have Subterfuge Mask?

[delicate geode]

should give me the spirit i need for all the auras im running if i get the spirit per 15 evasion

[delicate geode]

i am getting that too yea

[pulsar spruce]

Nice. You're on the way! Xd

[delicate geode]

only lvl 50 rn but should have it at lv 60 or so

but rn im not too concernced with defence im one shotting everything

[delicate geode]

would u say its better to grab acrobatics after i get subterfuge mask + pure energy shield helmet?

[pulsar spruce]

Either way. If you get Mask before it'll only help your acro be stronger.

[mild quiver]

Pheew finally mektul down

He was a bit of a wall to my character

I bought an amulet that boosted projectile lvls and intelligence enough to be able to use my minions again.

That boost of dps was what made it possible to finnish the fight

Market trade literally is the get past a wall place

[azure lava]

it can be, yeah

[boreal hedge]

Idk if any of the advice givers I spoke to earlier are here, but ty. I just demolished a boss that gave me hell on my first playthrough 💪

[stone pagoda]

anyone need help

[azure lava]

if they did, they'd probably say so here

[craggy gyro]

How to avoid this?

[jaunty parrot]

I am currently at this boss and it's not doing anything and i cant hit it and I can't tp out or leave arena either. Restarting game does nothing. How do I fix this?

[azure lava]

try esc -> respawn at checkpoint

[sacred agate]

Reset the zone

[jaunty parrot]

Respawn at checkpoint worked, thanks

[topaz junco]

Try to not trap yourself into a corner, other than that. Roll and pray

[stone pagoda]

want help?

[craggy gyro]

ye xD

[stone pagoda]

Geckow, invite me

[keen gazelle]

I used deadly fate at the end of trial of chaos, but I didn’t have the other 2 on me. Did I just waste it or it will remember that I inserted it the next time I the trial?

[chrome ingot]

not wasted. you keep them in

[azure lava]

I'd recommend rolling less, tbh. There was a point where you rolled from a safe zone into a puddle

[sharp fog]

also, rng can screw you a bit if she closes the arena early, otherwist gotta get more dps

[pliant horizon]

she is a nightmare but then the end boss slaps even harder lol

[rancid tusk]

Hey, im playing gas arrow deadeye with plans to change to lightning arrow deadeye after the acts, and i have to choose my first venom draught. i was thinking mana regen, thoughts? second choice would be elemental ailment but sounds useless

[stone pagoda]

first person to inv gets a divine, ign Geckow

[tired forge]

Where is the Iron, Copper and Stone Citadels?

I have faught like 200 battles on the Atlas and still have not discovered a single one of them T-T

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

[haughty niche]

Doesnt really matter

[haughty niche]

Look for beams in the fog and ask future questions in #2┃after-acts-help

[azure lava]

If you think the elemental ailment threshold one sounds useless, are you aware that it's a boost to your threshold and not a reduction to enemies'?

But yeah, they're all pretty meh

[wary summit]

Is it okay to put my minion build on halt cause I wanna make a different build

Level 30

[azure lava]

Depends on what moral/ethical ontology you ascribe to

[wary summit]

Dumb people English please

[azure lava]

What makes something "okay" in this context?

[wary summit]

😭

[wary summit]

Was just wondering if it would like stunt something or nah

It’s just my choice

[tired forge]

What class are you?

[wary summit]

Witch for minion build

I wanna make sorc

[tired forge]

Then it would be hard to beat minion build

[azure lava]

I mean, if you're not having fun you have three choices:

1. Continue not having fun
2. Change the character so it's fun
3. Do literally anything else

You don't lose anything as long as you don't literally delete the character

[wary summit]

Aight

I wanna make sorc

Probably a spark build

Not set on that tho

[azure lava]

I'd pick a skill/archetype first and then pick an ascendancy that gels with it

Invoker, deadeye, gemling, witch hunter, titan, stormweaver, and chronomancer can all be good for spark builds

[wary summit]

Jeesh

Got it

I heard sorc starts slow

So I think ima use a leveling setup

[azure lava]

Everyone starts slow

All classes can use all skills and gear

[wary summit]

Heard a leveling setup can be real fast

[azure lava]

So if you're starting slow on one class and not another, that's on you

[wary summit]

Hm

Got it

U got a leveling septic

Setup?

[azure lava]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1326972100409426081

That's my go-to

Basically every class has damage nodes that can scale it near their starting areas

[wary summit]

Got it

[azure lava]

And even without damage nodes it's pretty cracked

[wary summit]

When does it start to fall off

[knotty moon]

I'm on cruel 1. I've killed the traitor twice and it's not dropping the quest item. It just says search the traitors passage

Did I do something wrong? I thought i just had to kill the guy

[tired forge]

Ignore that, it is a bug.

[rancid tusk]

Yes, I'm aware. I was told by someone doing endgame that it's not worth when you can just use a charm for freeze and that's ab it

[tired forge]

Everyone has it. Also dont bother killing Iggie twice, you wont get more spirit

[knotty moon]

Ok so just continue on then? Thank you adventurer!

[jovial ferry]

suffering

[lament stone]

you do

its king in the mists that doesnt give spirit in cruel acts

[surreal hemlock]

what is the difference between increased energy shield and +% to maximum energy shield ?

[fathom abyss]

Rip

[fathom abyss]

Want help ?

[haughty niche]

Think you are confusing / misnaming 2 stats

One is flat increase one is %increase

On most gear, you increase the flat/% of the item itself.

Some gear like amulets' %increased ES applies globally to all the flat es you have.

[jovial ferry]

just killed him but ty c:

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[jovial ferry]

oki now im stuck at the same boss when i was back at act 2

cant wait to hit lvl 58 to finally play my build

[fathom abyss]

Want help ?

[jovial ferry]

yes please

[fathom abyss]

What's your in game name

[jovial ferry]

maeguuu

[azure lava]

I'd give this a read to help with gearing up https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

[alpine silo]

does normal crit hit chance apply to spells too? or only spell crit chance?

[azure lava]

"increased critical strike chance" applies to all hits you do.

The delineation you might be thinking of is attack crit vs spell crit. Those two are mutually exclusive

[alpine silo]

aaah thank you

also i cannot seem to find crit chance in my skill gem's dps menu. is it that some spells can't crit? or do i need to look elsewhere?

[jovial ferry]

ya ik what to do but the problem is that im playing spark without archmage yet

i need lvl 58 to unlock archmage so my build can start to work

[delicate geode]

whats that site again for getting a loot filter for ps5?

[haughty niche]

https://www.pathofexile.com/item-filter/ladder/follower

[azure lava]

I leveled with spark to 44 on my mercenary in hcssf, I don't think the problem is lack of archmage

Tho I think I swapped off spark near the end of normal act 3, tbf

That boss do be slappin

[jovial ferry]

ya im lvl 51 rn and its going well but for the bosses i lack alot of dmg on them

[azure lava]

You using orb of storms?

[jovial ferry]

running that rn cuz i found a +4 with an npc

[lament stone]

and mana tempest?

[jovial ferry]

ya those what i use

[azure lava]

What supports on spark and orb of storms?

Wait, are you playing with mouse movement?

Very brave

[jovial ferry]

Consider casting / arcane tempo / acceleration on Spark
Conduction / strip away on Orb of storms

[lament stone]

strip away isnt doing anything on orb of storms

[jovial ferry]

ya i used to play the game with that on poe1

[lament stone]

it doesnt apply exposure on its own

id swap strip away for overabundance

[azure lava]

Or controlled destruction

[lament stone]

strip away needs to be used with lightning(or any other) exposure, and considering at this point you dont have archamge, orb of storms is doing most of your boss dps

[jovial ferry]

oh oki i will i was following a guide thats why i have those on those gems

[azure lava]

I did, too, for 12 years and I instantly swapped to wasd for poe2. Moving while using skills changes literally the whole game imo

[lament stone]

id rather use click to move, but it feels off in poe2

i cant explain it its just not the same as poe1

[delicate geode]

will this hide the armour gear or will it only show the armour gear lol

[lament stone]

probably because you can move while using skills

[azure lava]

It's the fact that you need to orb walk to take advantage of the ability to move and shoot in poe2. I poe1 you could flick your cursor only while you were firing and then back to where you want to move. Now you have to click a spot to walk to it and then hold down the shoot button in the opposite direction. And if you want to change direction you gotta order a new movement command. It feels more like I'm playing an rts than an arpg

You could hold down m1 and basically stop moving to attack by pressing your other button

[safe lance]

Pathfinder poe2

[azure lava]

It will hide it. Look at the Grey text to the right. It gives an example of what it hides

[surreal hemlock]

Im talking about jewels, sapphire to be exact

[azure lava]

+% es and increased maximum es are the same stat as far as I'm aware. Can you show a picture of the mods you're referring to?

[lament stone]

it is "increased maximum energy shield"

there is no "+#% energy shield"

[surreal hemlock]

Lets say this makes my ES 12% higher ?

[lament stone]

not exactly

its increased

so it is added together with all other sources of globally increased energy shield which then multiplies you flat energy shield

[half vigil]

where can i trade tho

[lament stone]

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

[surreal hemlock]

So you cant go back to trials of chaos if you go to hideout during?

[oak monolith]

Hi guys, is there any use to trying to sell any drops from during the campain or are they pretty much just only useful for gem slots and armor/weapon upgrade shards?

[azure lava]

Not sure what you mean by "useful for gem slots" but most gear you find in the campaign will be worthless unless it's currency or a very small handful of valuable unique items

Though normal jewels and jewelry might be valuable as well

[hard cypress]

I imagine good weapons you use during campaign can be sold for like one exalt after you are done for ppl who are struggling

[delicate geode]

should i just wait till i start finding great jeweler orbs around the crueal campaign or should i just buy them for exalteds? ive got 300 ish rn

[tired forge]

No, but there is a bug that shows that Iggie quest not complete when ocne you complete it.

[oak monolith]

okokok

[wary summit]

@azure lava is yourlightning rod + orb of storms faster than the pillar leveling setup

[mental ferry]

anyone need help with a boss?
