[dusky burrow]

they're probably getting enough whispers to crash their game

[orchid garden]

why do people intentionally underprice things?

[dusky burrow]

2 reasons

first is ignorance

second is price fixing

price fixing gives other players the impression the item is cheaper than it really is

and when those unsuspecting players list low, they get snapped up by the price fixers

[orchid garden]

ohhh

thats super scummy

kinda smart tho

[dusky burrow]

it's really bad on any popular high end unique

also there's the scammers that just list low to get more whispers

like when i tried to buy a 5% attr 10% res morior, 100% of the underpriced listings are scams

you'll see tons of listings getting listed and relisted with killer deals

when you get invited, they dont have a hideout even though they have an endgame unique, and there's 3 other ppl in the party (other ppl they're trying to scam)

so in general, be very careful with endgame uniques

and really anything expensive

[orchid garden]

what classifies as expensive, im assuming divs are a lot rarer than i think and i just got really lucky

[dusky burrow]

div + i guess is expensive

i wonder how many ppl got a divine in campaign

probably <5%

[orchid garden]

whats like the normal price for those gloves i want

2-3div?

[dusky burrow]

yeah

so ur probably going have to do something else with that div

[orchid garden]

what should i do?

[lyric fulcrum]

save it

[orchid garden]

kk

ty

[dusky burrow]

yeah

[uneven moat]

is this a common error?

[cedar tree]

Which is better? Playing as blood mage witch

[polar otter]

How does my friend select and lock in passives on steam deck???

He's been trying for over ten minutes now please help!!!!!

[meager flower]

I didn't even know you can play on steam deck

there has to be an "accept" button

[polar otter]

Or on controller

[meager flower]

take a look on youtube

[polar otter]

is the same thing

[meager flower]

Also, it's 5 AM 😄

not many people around

[polar otter]

I think he's getting closer xD

he got it

[meager flower]

What the hell just happened... I had a map with Delirium, boss, strongbox, essence and !!!9!!! nine! breaches

what the hell

[nimble sinew]

Hello dweebs

I am back from exile

What dweebish things are you doing

Today

[meager flower]

Dweebs were a type of sugar-coated candy that were similar to Nerds but larger and softer.

????

[nimble sinew]

@meager flower classic dweeb comment

[meager flower]

What does that mean though?

[crystal tartan]

dweeb alert

[meager flower]

whatever

[nimble sinew]

When you look in mirror. The person looking back at you is dweeb

[meager flower]

Look, I might not know what a dweeb is, but I know how a twat behaves. Please carry on.

[meager flower]

It's just cosmetic

[cursive tendon]

Okay good to know was tripping me out when things would unlight up that were, since i was applying more upgrades but thank you

[nimble sinew]

D: omg

how dare you

[dapper salmon]

anyone have crashing issues now after the update

[meager flower]

Most people had massive issues until the update. I personally, I think I screwed my OS because of all the times the game froze my computer when crashing

How often it occurs?

[dapper salmon]

i was just playing on the spires of deshar than i randomly crashed

now i cant even load back into my character lol

[dapper salmon]

damn that sucks

[pallid horizon]

any tips? I dont have the doorway

[nimble sinew]

OMEGALUL i was right

i caught you dweeb

[nimble sinew]

find doorway

[pallid horizon]

? it should be right there

[indigo glade]

does buying this upgrade pack also get an additional access key?

[nimble sinew]

how do you know

[pallid horizon]

cus this is my third character

[nimble sinew]

why do you have 3 characters

[pallid horizon]

what are you on about?

[nimble sinew]

idk

[restive turret]

what kind of jewels should I look for a lightning stormweaver

[burnt junco]

no

[pallid horizon]

my god all my doors are bugged with their names

[indigo glade]

ahh only non gray out works

[burnt junco]

the grayed ones show what's from previous supporter tier(s)

[open nebula]

hmm I put an Iron Rune in my boots and my energy shield did NOT go up 20%. strange... ?

[burnt junco]

screenshot

[chilly harbor]

can you upgrade quality on corrupted item

[pastel cairn]

no

once corrupted you cant upgrade it at all

[next frost]

huh

there was a 100mb something update just now

[meager galleon]

yeah, a client crash hotfix

[blissful helm]

is this for 1 hand or 2 handed mace?

[open nebula]

well, I can't do a before and after screenshot because the rune's already installed and I can't remove it, lol. next time I install a rune I'll do a before and after to make sure I'm not crazy 🙂 thanks for the idea.

[meager galleon]

if it doesnt specify, its for any mace

[blissful helm]

thank you

[dapper salmon]

anyone know how much normal stellar amulets are going for now

[meager galleon]

not really a new player question

also just search them on the trade site, takes like 5 seconds

[meager galleon]

how are you calculating that ?

show the boots

[blissful helm]

Sorry 1 more question. Warrior's Renly's Training. Do I have to use the shield or can i just have it on my back?

Like doing a shield raise.

[meager galleon]

you dont need to be doing raise shield, but it has to be active

as in on the weapon set you are using

[blissful helm]

Oh. Thank you. That helps a lot.

[meager galleon]

raise shield automatically blocks everythign from the front

the 40% block chance is the passive block

[blissful helm]

I'm using a 2h mace as my main weapon.

Using the sheild to block messes up my rotation.

Am I just using it in dire situations?

[meager galleon]

havent played a warrior or melee at all yet, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[open nebula]

these are the boots. I had 90 energy shield BEFORE the rune. after I put the rune in, I still had 90 energy shield. am I misunderstanding how that works? thanks.

[meager galleon]

the increase from the rune is local to the boots

those boots have no ES

those boots give armor and evasion, tehre was no es to be increased

[open nebula]

I thought the Rune mea.... OHH, but if the boots DID give me extra energy shield, then the rune would have increased whatever the boots added to my energy shield by 20%?

[meager galleon]

yes

it icnreased the armor and evasion the boots give you

[open nebula]

ok. I guess they can only fit so many words into the description, I just thought it gave "20% increased armour, evasion and energy shield" like the description says, lol. That makes sense, thanks 🙂

likewise, if I put the iron rune into a martial weapon that only deals fire damage, NOT physical damage, then the rune will also give no benefit (because the rune says: 20% increase physical damage)?

[meager galleon]

correct

[crystal tartan]

20% of nothing is always nothing

[open nebula]

thanks!

[craggy gyro]

is there a trading channel here?

[undone sleet]

No, we don't facilitate trading in this discord

[stable kiln]

any suggestions for support gems on this build?
Storm Wave + Charged Staff + Heralds of Ice and Thunder with POTCG, Polcirkeln, and Call of the Brotherhood

[heady dust]

How do I get Heralds of Ice and/or Thunder?

[meager galleon]

they are spirit skills

so you need an uncut spirit gem

[honest hinge]

Any tips on getting higher link skills?

I know you can Val orb for plus 1 and I have some 1st and 2nd tier jewelers orbs but obviously if I Val orb one then I can't improve the quality of the skill with gemcutters

Is there a optimized way on which to use each item on the skill in that case?

[pulsar spruce]

Yeah really just have to find more greater and perfect jewelers orbs. Or you can buy them at currency exchange. Imo you should only vaal orb if it's level 19 or 20 and max quality. But make sure you always have a backup. 🙂

Sometimes doing quality earlier can be good though. So you don't have to rely on getting jewelers orbs.

[honest hinge]

Ah alright then makes sense to get as max as you can go then roll the Val for the chance to bonus

[next frost]

is this considered good i got it from gamba

[dense dirge]

gas arrow feels pretty low dmg for leveling 😦

[open nebula]

isa, are you a ranger? what level?

[safe lance]

There is a gas arrow + ignite setup that is pretty good for twink leveling but might not be the best for a league starter char idk.

[open nebula]

i'm mostly orb of storms, lightning rods and arrow. but I really want to get some FREEZE capabilities so I can explode mobs like I saw in a youtube video, heh. I have nothing that freezes yet hmm

[real glade]

I looted an orb of chance in act 3, is it any rare? Does it matter which level or weapon I use it on?

[dense dirge]

yup, im a deadeye lvl 36

im using gas arrow + flame wall atm

maybe its just bc poe1 was easier tho

[safe lance]

Radiant grief makes it super easy and you just press 1 button

[open nebula]

interesting. I'm deadeye level 35, heh. gas/flame seems like a good combo, dunno. I'm on the dreadnaught level now, can't get past it yet. my 130 spirit buffs help a lot (herald of thunder, wind walk, poison thingy)

[safe lance]

https://poe2db.tw/Radiant_Grief required level 16

[dense dirge]

ill try it, tyty

[safe lance]

it should be pretty cheap if your char is > level 25 or whatever the required level to trade is

[dense dirge]

yea i have like 5ex i think

and its 1 so

[safe lance]

I used this to level a twink and it needs nothing at all, but it does kinda fall off in cruel acts because its just one skill and you have to scale it with other things. I think I got this setup from a ds lily video

[dense dirge]

kay i just tested it

its like x10 more good

thank you very much lmao

[safe lance]

watch her video or guide to see how to scale it in later acts tho

[timid socket]

Hey, does anyone know how to fix this bug with the Legacy of The Vaal quest? I was in a party with a friend, and he activated the altar before I joined him, but it didn’t activate for me. Now I’m stuck with his core still in the altar, and I can’t place mine.

I’ve tried restarting my game, unfriending my friend, redoing the Jungle Ruins, and re-entering the Infested Barrens, but nothing works. Also, when my friend joins the area, I can still see him even though we’re not in a party or in-game friends. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[shut abyss]

you probly need to make a new instance of the zone and do place the core yourself

[safe lance]

Actually my wife and I ran into this in couch coop

do solo and not in a party

some quests are not working in party. This one, blowing the horn to clear the sandstorm etc.

So leave party, see if you have the soul core in pocket and just place it. And as they said make a new instance.

[timid socket]

Thank you both, my friend suggested this as well, didn't realise you could manually reset

[shut abyss]

ctrl click when entering should pop up a menu

[timid socket]

It worked! ty soo much!

[quartz crow]

can you craft multiple catalysts on a ring

or you're only allowed one type of catalyst

[pulsar spruce]

Just one type. It can be changed as long as the ring isn't corrupted

[quartz crow]

so it'll absorb the first type into itself if you craft a 2nd on it

thank

[cyan moth]

hi everyone i was hoping ot figure out where i can get my hands on a better life flask

[weak jasper]

the same merchant that lets you disenchant also sells flasks, or you just drop them from monsters

[cyan moth]

i didnt see any

is ther a requirement to unlock it?

[vague hollow]

ooo

how much would this be worth, a couple divs?

i bought it at 3 stats for an exalt and hit crit chance with an exalt

[cursive bluff]

#price-check📉

[vague hollow]

o didn't know that was a thing, thank you

[cursive bluff]

We don't do price checks in this discord. You may get an answer every now and then but most players actively refuse even if they know the price

[cursive bluff]

Most don't 🙂

[vague hollow]

oh that's what i did to get the few div estimate but was jus wondering if anyone had a clearer idea

cus i'm new, tryna decide if i should keep it or maybe sell it to buy other gear

[cursive bluff]

It's not against the server to keep asking so can't hurt

Just didn't know if anyone told you that on average you won't get a solid answer

[vague hollow]

nuh uh, good to know

thanks

[cursive bluff]

There's another discord called the forbidden trove which can do price checks but that requires you to do some info hunting on trade site first to see what similar items are being sold for

[vague hollow]

I’ve read so many bad things about that discord

[cursive bluff]

I only used it for poe1 boss carries and to read the scam reports section ll but never had an issue with either

[cursive bluff]

Is exp gains proximity based or global for group play?

[rough lintel]

think it's proximity based, when my friend boosted me for a few levels i didn't get xp if i was too far away from him

[torpid surge]

If any new player wants to earn some ex then DM me.

[azure lava]

not what this channel is for, read the pinned message

[shut abyss]

2 screens i believe

[cursive bluff]

is it not possible for rarity charms to hold more than 1 charge? ive seen ele charms have more than 1 charge but i cant find a high enough affix to reduce charges used

[rugged tangle]

dont believe its possible, at least I have never seen one that had affixes that would allow it

[cursive bluff]

it would be reduces charges per use but even at max i can find on trade its still short. im struggling with peoples pricing on gear with more rarity whilst keeping the res i need XD

i ex per 4 maps isnt enough XD

[rugged tangle]

shouldnt be too bad to get roughly 100% rarity without being that expensive, rings would be main source as they allow for higher rolls

going much over 100 isnt really worth, 150 would be bout max imo

[cursive bluff]

i have 64 ex rn and to keep most of the stats but with rarity is super expensive or dont exist. the lazuli is the first to go but i need all the acc and res along with life regen as thats part of my build

im at 74% rarity without the charm but thats only for rares+ bosses which i go back to refill from well to do

i dont use mana which is why the lazuli needs to go lol

[rugged tangle]

I would look at getting more res on other gear so you dont need so much on rings tbh, at least thats what I tend to focus first.... ring affixes are better saved for other mods than res

[cursive bluff]

i do lol

pretty much need all the stats on everything here

[rugged tangle]

need higher rolls lol, why you need so much life regen though? lol

[cursive bluff]

thats my build

im not doing anything to go super end game its just what i find fun

t8 maps rn and unless i get chain CC im doing well (besides armour lol)

its never enough XD

thats with a totem using font of life also

im just under 1.1k without

[rugged tangle]

ya idk then, I would try for higher res rolls on gear and maybe find a jewel or 2 with life regen to take some off your gear to open affix spots there.... generally I focus belt,boots,chest for res bfor moving to other pieces that can roll better affixes

[cursive bluff]

which is why i was looking into a better charm than this haha

[rugged tangle]

ya I dont think you can do much about it without maybe getting more charm slots so you can use more than 1 charm, that way you can have more up time on it as they wont all use at once

aight im off to work, gl

[shut abyss]

stun or freeze? the usual best bet?

[cursive bluff]

yee belts are expensive with +1 and other affixes i need

but thanks for advice XD

[cursive bluff]

i rarely get stunned/froze atm for me to need

[shut abyss]

chaos res is my third choice

[cursive bluff]

but sat on 74% rarity and not enough currency to improve gear

i change if im running a map with more freeze/stun buildup mods or extra "elemental" damage

but 90% of the maps i dont need them so running the rarity is better ive had a perfect jewlers orb drop so it does work XD

[tired forge]

o/

How do you use Simulacrum?

[pliant horizon]

I am now playing the end game which is super. I hate trails. Possible to go without the ascendancy points with higher teir waystones? Teir 2 seems to be fine still

[cursive bluff]

yeah you can do all tier of maps without doing ascendancy all that does is give you points to allocate in your chosen asc skill tree which can be a huge buff but #2┃after-acts-help now you're in maps and you can ask in #2┃looking-for-group for ascendancy carries for free

[pliant horizon]

noice and thanks for the info

[lament stone]

that charm isnt that good, it only lasts for 1 seconds after you kill a rare or unique enemy

it doesnt apply to the rare or unique enemy you killed in order to activate it it

[cursive bluff]

i know thats what it says but the difference in loot rarity and quant is night and day different when i swap this charm off

i think loot is coded to drop after the kill where this charm activates the moment it dies so there may be like a microsecond for this to activate

[lament stone]

this has been tested, it does not apply

[cursive bluff]

then why do i get more and better items from rares with it on?

[lament stone]

what youre experiencing is the placebo effect you think its working so to you its "working"

[cursive bluff]

not saying you're lying at all im just confused as to why most rares drop 1-2 items withou this on but with it on i get 4-5+

[lament stone]

rng

[cursive bluff]

on every rare in multiple maps when ive tried not using it?

[lament stone]

im just telling you how it works

the charm only activates after a rare or unique enemy has been killed

it cannot apply to the rare or unique enemy that was killed because that rare or unique enemy being killed is the thing that activates the charm

[surreal hemlock]

is there any app for price check that is not integrated straight with poe ? I play on ps5 and would love to price check items myslef, but other than going to the trade site which is not best, i dont know of other way

[cursive bluff]

on average i get 1-3 items when i didnt use it for about 3 maps (i think i took it off half way through a map) that includes currency but then putting it back on the first map not juiced just a blue map i was averaging 3-5 including currency

[devout hare]

i will eat you

[lament stone]

you can see it in your on kill effects, the rarity only applies after the enemy is dead

[cursive bluff]

yeah i do understand thats how it reads im not trying to be combative at all

[devout hare]

turtle fry mmm

[lament stone]

"how it reads" thats literally how it works

[cursive bluff]

i accept thats how it works im just explaining ive done a very small test myself

[devout hare]

yummy

[lament stone]

it is coded to not apply until a rare or unique enemy has been killed

[worthy wasp]

hey guys im looking at build and i dont understand this part

Update your links with level 2 Uncut Support Gems.
Make sure to update your support gems as they are in the skills display!

[devout hare]

use level 2 support gemss just like how the guide says to use them and place them

[worthy wasp]

right but what does it mean by links?

[lament stone]

and thats the placebo effect, where you take a placebo pill (a medicine that does nothing) but you think its making you better because you dont know that it does nothing

[devout hare]

skill support sockets

[worthy wasp]

ohhhh okay

[devout hare]

in poe1 it had concept of links

[worthy wasp]

ah i never played poe1

[devout hare]

yaa

i wish for all people in world to be happy @cursive bluff

[cursive bluff]

straight to the block list

[normal ibex]

added to blocklist for being a bad actor after this edit

[foggy birch]

the fuck going on lol

kasumi ur on the naughty list u know that right

mods have a close eye

[devout hare]

rrr

[devout hare]

are you mod spy....

[foggy birch]

u could say im a 'whistleblower

[devout hare]

aa

i cant whistle

it only make sound for some time

[foggy birch]

off topic

🤓

[devout hare]

i am sorr

[tulip ledge]

Good morning Exiles!

[zenith pumice]

hello where can i get a end game campain rush

[lament stone]

thats only going to cause problems tbh

[jovial zealot]

any good ideas for gas arrow without the unique helm? flame wall is the best option?

[lament stone]

if they dont do it properly so youre levelling up throughout the campaign, youll just end up having to go back to the campaign to farm levels

[winged quiver]

for a warrior would going armour/energy sheild be good or just straight armour

shield*

[lament stone]

life and elemental resistances

[winged quiver]

ah cool thanks

[cursive bluff]

block is also an option since theres a lot of nodes at warrior tree

[lament stone]

life and elementail resistances are your priority defensive stats, armour/evasion/energy shield are lower priority

as for which youd pick, basically whatever you can scale well with your build

except armour tbh, armour is kinda shit rn

having a small amount like 2-3k armour is good for small phys hits, but armour is never going to protect you against large phys hits

[winged quiver]

Big health

[onyx leaf]

If I'm a spark sorc and friend monk uses the bell, does my spark benefit from the bell in any way

[lament stone]

no

but the bell would gain lightning damage for its shockwaves if your spark hit it

[azure lava]

bell can only be hit by the skills of the player that used it

[lament stone]

really? i remember people in the demos using multiplayer combos with the bell

[onyx leaf]

it looked like im causing it to do the soundwaves when hitting it with lightning arrow tho?

[azure lava]

maybe ailments can be applied to it, but won't cause shockwaves?

I'm not 100% sure on that part

[azure lava]

then either it's bugged, the tooltip is wrong, or you're mistaken

[onyx leaf]

gonna test it more later then

[azure lava]

yeah, but if the bell can only be hit by "your" skills then how would they be able to apply ailments to it?

[onyx leaf]

we noticed the bell doing fire despite the monk not having any fire in the build

[lament stone]

but other players can apply ailments to it

idk if the bell counts as your skill anymore once its placed

its just a terrain object

[azure lava]

my guess is it's a poorly-worded tooltip, then

[normal ibex]

seems like a very simple thing to test tbh

[onyx leaf]

so when spark that goes through flame wall hits the bell, the monk starts doing a bit more lightning and fire dmg?

[lament stone]

more damage? no

it converts the existing physical damage into those elements

[onyx leaf]

oh, right

[lament stone]

it does more damage per elemental ailment affecting the bell

[winged quiver]

kinda hope they drop druid or marauder soon ngl i rlly enjoy the druid playstyles in games

marauder being more like a shaman ig

i guess in poe 2 i can do totems

[whole locust]

is exile exchange safe to use?

[weak jasper]

it's open source and built using code from the biggest price checker in poe1 (awakened poe trade)

I'd say it's as safe as you can get, I would never be worried about it

[whole locust]

aight ty

[jovial ferry]

i have insane mana problems

[normal ibex]

additional context required before question actually appears

[jovial ferry]

even with that belt and amulet and inspiration on spark it eats the mana

i have mind over matter and eldritch battery

[viscid owl]

dont suppose anyone can help me out, I want to equip the quiver on the right and currently have equipped the quiver on the left

but the moment i do equip the quiver on the right my dexterity drops from 72 to 35.

second screenshot is with the bow on the right equiped.

[mental heron]

Can you leech exp on endgame maps without finishing the campaign?

[spice pasture]

I have never tried but with a new character you can go to your hideout and click the map device

Since there is no reason to try to use a waystone with a new char, i dont even bother to try haha

[mental heron]

You can't do it on your own without finishing the campaign, but I say, for example, a friend of mine invites me to his hideout and just farms maps while I leech exp

[spice pasture]

Yeah

[mental heron]

Do you think it works? Maybe I'm wrong but I remember that on maps there's no lvl difference needed in order to gain exp

[spice pasture]

for example , new char

My Hideout

Doriany , Alva and etc is gone haha

[mental heron]

Well that's interesting

Thanks for the help bro

[west oxide]

You can leech xp but the xp given is so poor you can barely feel it even in a party, because if the character level is I believe 4-5 levels lower or higher than the map level, the xp given will be massively nerfed.

[mental heron]

So it's not worth it, thanks mate

[shut pebble]

is it worth bulk selling breach rings?

[sacred agate]

If you cant be bothered rolling/crafting sure?

Not really relevant to #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help though

[shut pebble]

oh my b misread just saw new player

[sacred agate]

If the alternative is you doing nothing with the ring then yeah, its worth selling.

[daring dirge]

I'm assuming your other gear had Dex Requirements and once you unequip the left quiver you didn't have enough dex so your other gear turn red and you lost all of the stats those gear give

[viscid owl]

was my skills not the gear that i lost, but its all good, i realized it was my bow that was improving the quiver stats.

[daring dirge]

oh

there is also a passive on the skill tree that increase quiver stats

[viscid owl]

yeah im specced into some of them, made sense when i saw my projectile skills jumped 4 levels instead of one

[daring dirge]

think 70% if you take all nodes in that cluster

[wanton knoll]

IS THS GOD? GOT IT FROM VENDOR

im already lvl 40 the dmg is kinda low

[sacred agate]

90% of Uniques in this game is trash.

[wanton knoll]

dang it

its my 1st unique too

[sacred agate]

I mean use it.

It might still be good for your current level

If the DPS/damage on your main skills go up, use it.

[trim turret]

Uniques are good if they provide you something your build needs that you can't get someplace else.

[wanton knoll]

got this also

[sacred agate]

Yeah that bow is way better

[wanton knoll]

okay okay

got no more gold

[sacred agate]

Unless you need freeze/chill stats.

[wanton knoll]

ahahah

[sacred agate]

But the raw damage of the blue one should be better

[wanton knoll]

yeah cuz i read the voltic shotgun

it says i need more phy dmg

[onyx vine]

am i locked out of the arena atp? i was at the edge of the entrance when the boss spawned in, but there is no option to enter arena.

[sacred agate]

Reset at last checkpoint, I think.

[onyx vine]

nah doesnt work. i guess ill have to redo this map lol

[coarse elk]

If I use a percursor tablet that creates 6 breachs on near maps, is there any chance to create on a map that already have breach and waste 1 breach?

[craggy gyro]

what level spirit gems should i be getting in act 2?

curr lf for one/two but i cant find any T_T

[clever patio]

Guys, if I receive a message like this, what is the solution?(Could not overwrite executable with new patched executable. Please make sure that PathofExile.exe or PathofExile.tmp are not still running If necessary, you may need to reboot your computer.)

[clever patio]

It's better for you to continue forward because it's rare fall

[craggy gyro]

awh

okok

[azure lava]

I'd go into task manager and make sure everything that could possibly be tied to poe is closed

[daring dirge]

i completed act 2 like 6 times, think i only got 2 of the mid level spirit gems from random drops

[craggy gyro]

.........

i missed out on blink

lmaoaoao

[azure lava]

You can't cut blink unless you use a t14+ spirit gem

[craggy gyro]

oh............

LMAO

[azure lava]

Which you won't get until act 3. Cruel.

[craggy gyro]

jesus.........

[alpine silo]

yo, maybe delete these? (i can't reply too it, but its a couple of messages ago

[daring dirge]

which of the t8 spirit skill is good besides combat frenzy?

[azure lava]

Depends on your build

[alpine silo]

really weird those scam messages aren't being deleted

[azure lava]

I think it did get deleted, but not for you?

[daring dirge]

yea i can't see this and this was from a day ago?

[azure lava]

I don't see it

[alpine silo]

i see it and it was today

[azure lava]

What time is it now in your time zone?

[alpine silo]

CEST

[daring dirge]

yea its 9:40 am here so time zone diff

[alpine silo]

3:42

pm

[azure lava]

And what channel was that in?

[alpine silo]

this one

[daring dirge]

yea that got deleted, dunno why you see it

i see the other message around it

[azure lava]

Yeah weird

Same

[alpine silo]

hmmm weird, but good enough i guess

[azure lava]

What build are you playing and can you screenshot the t8 options?

[daring dirge]

like for me think i saw it pop one min before it got delete

[daring dirge]

lmao i'm playing all 6 classes at once all at the end of act 2 / start of act 3

[azure lava]

That still tells me nothing about your builds. You could be doing lightning rod/orb of storms on all six

[daring dirge]

yea give me a sec

listing them now haha

[azure lava]

Also if it's your vibe to do all six at once, you do you. Idk what you you get out of it, but fun is the #1 priority

I'd lose my mind if I played like that

[daring dirge]

invoker - ice strike / lightning
infernalist - minions / fire
dead eye - lightning build
stormweaver - firewall spark
titan, just using 2h on each hand, don't know what i'm going for

just restarted on my merc, decided to go gemling instead of witchhunter

[daring dirge]

lol yea i'm taking it slow, can only play 1-2 hours a day on most days

[azure lava]

So are you looking for a spirit gem that would be usable for all six?

[daring dirge]

oh i was more asking like which spirit gems are good

[azure lava]

To me, that's the perfect reason to stick to one character. Brains sure are something

[daring dirge]

alot of the builds i saw just stacked a bunch of the different level 4 spirit gems

[azure lava]

They're all good for the right build

Well, maybe

Some of them seem a little whack

[shut abyss]

he paid for all the classes, his going to play all of them!

[daring dirge]

yea

but i don't think i can do it when all 12 comes out at release XD

[azure lava]

Make sure you read all the lore, too

[daring dirge]

will probably stick to 1 or 2

[azure lava]

It's like a free book you're leaving on the ground if you don't

[safe lance]

12x3 btw

36 ascendancies

[azure lava]

By that logic, anyway

[daring dirge]

i really hope they let us change ascendancies in future XD

and i think the character cap is 24 unless you buy more slots?

[azure lava]

And with 1-2 hours of playtime a day and 40 hours to beat the campaign, that's only like 4 months to get every ascendancy through the campaign

Oh, I missed a step. 4 years

Not months

[scenic salmon]

All a big marketing strategy for sure I mean every PoE player has at least 30 characters

[azure lava]

I actually bought character slots for poe1

[daring dirge]

you are able to buy as many slots as you want though right?

[scenic salmon]

Do they unlock slots in PoE 2 too

[azure lava]

I think the limit is like 128 or 256?

[daring dirge]

not sure if i can do 36 classes / ascendencies*

[azure lava]

Not sure

[azure lava]

No idea

[daring dirge]

it was already hard enough trying to figure out names for 12 classes

[azure lava]

Well luckily for you there are only 12 classes

[safe lance]

you cannot? smh

[azure lava]

And 3 ascendancies for each

Just don't ascend and you're fine

[daring dirge]

yea i meant doing 36 ascendencies haha

pfft

[azure lava]

Ascendancies are a crutch

(legally I have to add /s)

[safe lance]

actually I know the answer to their question, herald of thunder

for all 36 asc

[shut abyss]

requires martial weapon

[azure lava]

Yeah, because every one of them goes lightning rod+orb of storms

It's perfect

[shut abyss]

ah ofc

[azure lava]

Man I crave the hc and/or ssf questions/community. The hardcore builds thread in #1308715058716610580 hasn't had a response before mine since December 7th

Since my hcssf character got to maps, I finally feel justified in changing my nametag

[safe lance]

well if you want a question, whats a div even worth in SSF? lower than an exalt?

transmute?

[shut abyss]

it's worth 1 div

[ivory fern]

can anyone explain to me how three dragon mask works? like if i use it and apply lightning damage i know it freezes instead but if i want to amplify that damage do i need to go for cold damage increase or shock damage increase on the passive tree

[azure lava]

Depends on how many uniques with insane roll ranges you've found

[azure lava]

the freeze buildup scales with your lightning instead of cold

[ivory fern]

okay thank you

[safe lance]

I am planning on making like 10 chars and killing the witch in clearfell to see if I get a widowhail btw, sound strat? 🙂

[azure lava]

In normal ssf I dumped all three of the divs I found into a ventor's and made it way worse

So in my case they were worth about the amount of gold I could have vendored them for

[shut abyss]

why are you making 10 chars and not using the same one?

[azure lava]

Yeah you can just reset the zone

[safe lance]

I felt like it only drops high rarity the first time you kill it

not based on facts, just feelings.

[azure lava]

Does it?

Yeah I have no idea

[safe lance]

no idea

[shut abyss]

doubt it

[safe lance]

I have like a total of 8 chars so far inlcuding my wife's couch coop and at least felt that way for these

[azure lava]

In poe1 there is also a drop penalty if you're too high above the zone level. But I think in poe1 it only applies to currency. Not sure if poe2 has similar systems

[safe lance]

that might be it

also seems to apply for spirit gems

e.g. Deshar drops the level 8(?) and I tried like 10 reset and 0 dropped on my main char, then for new char it kept dropping like candy

This was like a week or two into ea

[shut abyss]

looks like you can chance orb the starter bow and you can get those by respawning without equipping it

[azure lava]

Wow, what a strat

[delicate geode]

@azure lava do u happen to know when is the next stash tab sale is? and does this also apply to guild tabs?

[azure lava]

I think sales are every 3 weekends, and there was one this last weekend I think. And for guild tabs, no idea. Can't use guild stashes in ssf

I would wager they also go on sale, but can't say for sure

[delicate geode]

whats ssf?

[haughty niche]

solo self found

no group or trade

its a gamemode selectable on character creation

[delicate geode]

im always playing with a friend but he doesnt have any tabs and im the only one with coins, would it work if i just bought a guild currency tab and a premium so we can share those?

[shut abyss]

sure why not?

[azure lava]

It should, just make sure you trust them and neither of you get hacked

[sacred agate]

And make sure you are in a guild

:<

[delicate geode]

that should be fine then haha

ill pillage his house if he scams me

[safe lance]

anyone know of any small 2-3 player guilds? I am looking to join one

[sacred agate]

#1312645838727811163

[sacred agate]

You out looking for people to steal from? 🤣

[safe lance]

I was just trying to make my own trickster ascendancy until GGG releases it

[azure lava]

They already have like half the trickster nodes on the passive tree. I never realized that

Or in spirit gem form

[sacred agate]

What does Trickster Ascendancy have to do with 2-3 man guilds?

[azure lava]

Trickster larp

Being an irl trickster

[delicate geode]

i cant seem to alter the stash tabs in the guild stash, pressing the r3 + left arrow wont open that small menu to make it public

[azure lava]

Did you get premium guild stash tabs?

[safe lance]

I think you have to be leader?

[delicate geode]

yea

[delicate geode]

also am

[safe lance]

hmm no idea then sry. I am part of a guild of my D4 clan but it is dead and I have no access to change stuff.

[azure lava]

Hm. What little time I did spend with a guild stash, I wasn't the leader so I never knew how to modify guild stash tabs

[delicate geode]

odd

otherwise i just spent these coins for nothing haha

[azure lava]

I'd try relogging fully and/or checking the guild options

[daring dirge]

were there any passive bonuses for bbeing in a guild? IE more exp / increase drop rate etc

[turbid lark]

don't think guild tabs can be public

[azure lava]

Nope

[azure lava]

I was also thinking this, but the tabs should still let you rename them and recolor them. I thought this was all done from the same menu

[turbid lark]

it is i was just assuming he was only talking about making it public

[azure lava]

Just so you know, you share tabs with your guild no matter what. They don't need to be set to public and I don't think they can even be public

[delicate geode]

ah thats a shame

[safe lance]

hmm wait, our guild only have 2 quads they bought, so maybe it comes with 0 tabs to start with?

[delicate geode]

but i dont fully believe that cuz why would they still call it a premium stash tab

only to make the color something else or something like that?

[lament stone]

yea you cant make guild stash tabs public

[delicate geode]

rip then i just spent 190 on a currency tab for my homie lol

[azure lava]

Yeah you cannot recolor and rename them unless they're premium

[safe lance]

wait what were you gonna do with it?

just share between you two right?

[azure lava]

I'm imagining they spent a bunch to upgrade the default guild tabs to premium

When the default tabs are perfectly functional

[safe lance]

there were no default guild tabs in our guild tho

[delicate geode]

yea i thought he could just use it to sell his stuff since he has no coins and i still had 220 laying around

[azure lava]

Oh, I see

Yeah, can't sell from a guild tab. No way for that to work logistically with the trade site and all.

[safe lance]

ah that doenst even make sense, considering he isnt even the guild owner

[lament stone]

a guild is not an individual player that can be messaged to initiate a trade

[azure lava]

Unless there was some way to assign one person as the "owner" of the guild stash and make them receive all the trade whispers

You can't do that, but it would make it conceivably possible

[safe lance]

And currency tab is probably the worst tab required for selling stuff, its just for organizing your own currency

just need a premium tab

[delicate geode]

i supose theres no way to refund it either right

[cedar tree]

where is the currency exchange?

[delicate geode]

cruel act 1 on finn

[azure lava]

It's at any gamble vendor once you reach act 1 cruel

Assuming you're not in solo self found league

[cedar tree]

Thanks.

[small relic]

Im a level 74 Invoker but have yet to see Flicker Strike in my list of unlockable skills. Where do I unlock it? Thanks.

[azure lava]

Select "all gems" in the lower left when you cut a skill gem

[small relic]

Weird, I thought that skill was monk specific.

[safe lance]

there are no class specific skills, only weapon specfic and then theres attr requirements

[small relic]

So maybe i cant see it because I've got a crackling quarterstaff?

[safe lance]

I think flicker is a quarterstaff skill so you should see it

There are skill gems, then there are weapon granted skills and some passive granted skills. But I dont want to overcomplicate it, you should be able to engrave flicker strike.

[daring dirge]

you are using a level 13 skill gem right?

[small relic]

Thanks, will look into this later when I get home. I'm using L14 uncut gems.

I also noticed combat frenzy + resonance wasnt working right either. Was still getting frenzy charges.

[jovial ferry]

anybody knows where do i use that heart for the 2 skill points

[scenic salmon]

In the altar it's where you'll find the potion seller in the present

[azure lava]

At the altar where you picked up that ritual dagger next to it. You stab it there

When you pick up the dagger and have the heart, the text above the altar should have changed to "stab sacrificial heart"

[jovial ferry]

ah its there

[sand jay]

whats considred best class rn?

got dissapointed from warrior...

[daring dirge]

think most people say monk (Invoker)

[scenic salmon]

Mercenary imo cause gemling is unbalanced

[daring dirge]

these are the Hardcord and HC SSF numbers for top 1k

[safe lance]

hardcore seems to skew a lot towards infernalist because its safer?

[daring dirge]

oh that is also true, HC and normal probably have different priorities haha

[fringe obsidian]

man no love for witchhunter

no idea why people keep sleeping on that class

probably it'll be more obvious how good it is once they release more weapons

and hopefully rebalance us back to more combos

[daring dirge]

think its mroe because Gemling is broken, but i think most of them were doing some gemling / monk type build?

[delicate geode]

u can start running maps once u beat full cruel campaign right

[fringe obsidian]

that's fair gemling is super strong

[fringe obsidian]

yep!

but the witchhunter with those whopping 48 weapon set points is just hilarious

[azure lava]

All classes can use all skills and gear and all classes have builds that are considered really good and really bad.

Off the top of my head, some good builds on each class are:
Warrior:
-Skeletal reaver warbringer
-Minion titan

Witch:
-Raging spirit infernalist
-Hexblast infernalist

Sorceress:
-Archmage spark stormweaver
-Hammer of the gods chronomancer
-Chaos dot chronomancer

Monk:
-Ice strike invoker

Ranger:
-Lightning arrow deadeye
-Poisonous concoction pathfinder

Mercenary:
-Pillar of the caged god gemling

[azure lava]

The top 100 hcssf ladder had kinda decent variety last I checked. A lot of infernalists, but some invokers, gemlings, I think a couple warriors

A lot of deadeyes, too I think

[delicate geode]

other players that arent in my guild cant join the guild hideout right

[azure lava]

I don't think so. If you're in it and someone tries to teleport to you idk what happens. I'd check the settings for guild hideout entry permissions

[high haven]

Not really sure, if its a right channel to ask.
If i remember correctly, devs mentions that they have a plans to transfer all mtx from PoE 1 to PoE 2, is that true?

[bleak igloo]

guys any idea whats the quality on wands does?

[haughty niche]

It is supposed to increase the quality of the skill the wand provides

You can hold alt over the skill in the skill page to see what that adds

You can also hold alt over the word quality

[stiff nebula]

Hii i got my very first divine in act 3 should i sell it for many exalted? feel like maybe exalteds are more worth to me at this point

[sacred agate]

You just answered your own question :< ❤️

[stiff nebula]

just wanted to be reassured^^ haha but then i thought correctly.

[sacred agate]

Exalt -> Div goes up and down. You might lose a bit of exalt or gain who knows. But if you need exalt do it.

Its not gonna break the game for you.

[stiff nebula]

when in the game does divs become more worth it for me as i level up? i am lvl 48. but now lots of upgrades i can buy with exalted orbs.

for trading

to get more upgrades

[golden terrace]

maps

[stiff nebula]

if u get what i mean?

ah ok

nice tyy

[shut abyss]

75 level gear is probly the lowest youd want to buy with divs i guess somewhere there

[golden terrace]

yeah unless you buying very specific

[shut abyss]

ah yes, talking about rares and there is some nice 65 or 70 level items

[stiff nebula]

thank youu

[crisp quarry]

How do I get to blackjaw the remnant? I enter the mechanarium and I see two stone dudes and a stone altar on the other side of the wall but I can't do anything

[golden terrace]

like pillar of the caged god unique corrupted to a mod that you want could be divs but its a lvl 1 unique staff

[golden terrace]

jjaquanis machinarium or how ever you spell it

you need a medium soul core to open the door to fight him

[tribal patio]

how do u get these

[crisp quarry]

I have scoured the entire room and can't find a medium soul core

[shut abyss]

its a random drop

[golden terrace]

whats your in game name

[crisp quarry]

UsableHole

[shut abyss]

ohh if you mean in progress ones you just do it to a point and leave and its in the altar

[mild quiver]

let's goo got my first ever divine in act3

Gonna treasure it

best gear is aquired with it

[stiff nebula]

https://i.imgur.com/rSlc6Q9.png

this feels nice haha

been only using like 1 ex to upgrade my gear here and there lmao

[long horizon]

if every campaign boss is taking like 5+ minutes and kills me in like 3 hits is my build falling behind? or is that normal for this game?

[haughty niche]

depends

[mild quiver]

does warbanner not work right now?

I don't get any banners from killing ennemies

[haughty niche]

meta builds can kill campaign bosses in 3-10 seconds on completely self-found gear.
But 3 minute fights is what was expected with builds that don't excel do to poor balance/bugs

make sure your weapon is always up to date

[long horizon]

yeah i dont think it is my weapon considering its almost exactly what the build guide recommends, i just dont think spark is that good for bosses

might try a different build because i constantly feel so weak with this one

[haughty niche]

build guides often don't recommend exact items.

you might have too low values or other issues

[long horizon]

i meant the build guide recommends a wand with +1 to lightning/all spells and thats what i have

[haughty niche]

you are treating that too literally i think

[long horizon]

so what other things should i be looking for on a wand?

[haughty niche]

like higher tiers can get +2,3,4,5.

also you probably benefit from a ton of other stats

like increased spell damage/lightning damage/cast speed/whatever

[long horizon]

i mean i just beat act 1 so i really havent seen anything +2 at all

[haughty niche]

if you haven't touched your weapon in 10 levels you are probably way behind

ESPECIALLY if you are using the skill the weapon provides

which idk what you do since you have been pretty secretive about the build you are playing

[subtle plume]

but my weapon is only level 76 on my level 94 hardcore character...

im kidding its endgame lol

[long horizon]

i can send the build link if that helps?

[haughty niche]

what i said falls off a lot once you finish campaign. Thankfully, we are in campaign help

[long horizon]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/spark-archmage-stormweaver-leveling-guide

[subtle plume]

yea jkjk

[haughty niche]

ok were does this say a +1 wand is all you need?

[daring dirge]

was curious which builds let you beat the chapter bosses in 3-10 seconds lol

[long horizon]

"Look for a Staff or Wand with + Levels of Lightning Spell Skills or + Levels of All Spell Skills. You increase your DPS by looking for the following stats, sorted by order of importance" not necessarily all you need but most important

[haughty niche]

yeah but read that list

a +1 lightning is going to fall behind if thats the only stat on it

[long horizon]

ah okay so i need a better wand

[haughty niche]

honestly, as inaccurate as it is, using tooltip dps here could help in a lot of cases

check vendors for wand upgrades

i never found a single weapon upgrade on the ground in my playtime

castspeed/gain as extra/etc can outperform +1 lvl in enough quantity. Depending on where you are, you should also be able to find +2 lvl or more

[long horizon]

okay ty ill try looking for a better wand then

[haughty niche]

also make sure you are using all the skills

had a few people JUST using spark and having a bad time

[woeful palm]

hey guys, im a warrior and i try to play stampede + hearld of ice but i never proc herald (i never see the ice in the animation) did you know why ?

[stiff nebula]

maybe you dont have any cold damage on your attacks?

do you freeze them?

when hitting?

maybe aura isnt on also

[haughty niche]

once i got gas arrow i was shredding bosses on my pathfinder.
Took a while to level to that point though.

Orb of storms + lightning rod is busted.

Raging Spirits on minions let me kill Act 1 boss in 10 seconds on self-found gear.

Im sure theres others

[delicate geode]

Added cold dmg to attacks on your gloves and ring did thetrick for me

[manic garden]

poe 2 overlay vs sidekick vs exile exchanged

[dusty jay]

if i skip first temple of chaos, will i get the second ascendancy if i do 3rd sekemash later and skip chaos completely?

[haughty niche]

exiled exchange 2 is a branch off of the previous most popular overlay for poe1 (awakened poe trade)

so i just went with that one

[long horizon]

yep i have been doing that except mana tempest bc i dont have that yet

[daring dirge]

yea i remember i was able to beat act 1 boss on my witch pretty fast, but sadly my ranger is a deadeye

[woeful palm]

i dont freeze i dont have enough cold dmg i think. Can we see how dmg in element we do ?

[woeful palm]

i will try that

[haughty niche]

probably lightning arrow + orb of storms then

[azure lava]

Right click on a skill on your bar to see its details, including damage breakdown

[haughty niche]

might not be seconds, never tried it, but shouldn't be minutes

[daring dirge]

think alot of the war with the herald of ice build need this unique

[woeful palm]

i got it : )

[stiff nebula]

herald of ice only works when you shatter something that has been frozen :) so yes i think you need some cold dmg

[woeful palm]

i only do 300 max cold dmg

on stampede

[delicate geode]

also increase freeze buildup on quarterstaves on your jewels will help

[proper sable]

When can I do more ascension trials? I've only done 1 and I'm level 32

[haughty niche]

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

[proper sable]

Huh.. okay ty. I just wanted to get more passive points lol

Is there a preferred way to grind exp?

[haughty niche]

yes

keep playing and progressing campaign

[proper sable]

Copy.

[haughty niche]

farming for gear or exp shouldn't be required in campaign

[proper sable]

Nah, I just want the points lol

[haughty niche]

what points?

[proper sable]

Passive points

[daring dirge]

the ascension points haha

[haughty niche]

you get them from levelling up and quests.
Unless you mean the Ascendency passive points

In which case, read the wiki link i sent / look at the image

[proper sable]

For the passive tree

1 per level

[daring dirge]

from what i read the last 2 points are a pain in the arse and needs more optimized builds

[proper sable]

Thank you

[haughty niche]

the best exp is to stay within a few levels of the current area level. So naturally the game forces you to keep progressing through the campaign to higher area levels to keep optimal xp

[safe lance]

How do boss drops work in this game for parties?

Or any loot for that matter.

[haughty niche]

loot is shared

[safe lance]

Say in a party of 2 players, 1 player kills 5 enemies and the other player kills 1.

How is the loot from 6 enemies shared?

[haughty niche]

randomly

if from those 6 enemies one drops a rare item, all players see it and only 1 can pick it up

The area instance creator (person who entered first) determines the behaviour of picking up items

[safe lance]

lets assume perma allocation for simplicity

[haughty niche]

It just randomly assigns it

[safe lance]

so if player 2 kills 0 enemies still randomly allocated?

[haughty niche]

yes

Just look at poe1 aurabots

[safe lance]

In D4 for example, loot is perma allocated and also just requires presence in boss dungeon (not even in boss arena)

each player has a set of drops

so technically its 2x the total drops if 2 players kill a boss vs 1 player killing a boss

[haughty niche]

some items in poe1 only drop for host, such as maps/incubators.

idk if thats the same in poe2

[haughty niche]

no.

[safe lance]

sry that was in D4

so that is not the case in poe?

thank you, this is what I wanted

[haughty niche]

poe2

[safe lance]

so it does make it somewhat worth it to drag my wife for all these sanctum runs I am farming I guess.

[coarse elk]

best breach points upgrades atlas tree? (in order)

[azure lava]

#2┃after-acts-help

[haughty niche]

heres another thing

[safe lance]

Is this poe2?

[haughty niche]

yes

[safe lance]

thank you

[haughty niche]

please try wiking poe2wiki.net

and just look up partying

[young pollen]

yo, anyone knows for sure when does the increased item rarity on your gear trigger? let's say I have total 120 IIR with "for bossfight" boots (that got 0 rarity) and then quickly swap in 30% rarity boots before the boss dies - do I roll 150% for drops at the end of the day or still 120?

[haughty niche]

the wiki is VERY useful

[safe lance]

so there is value in making your spouse play the game huh,noted

[haughty niche]

you also take longer killing the bosses

cause more life, and not everyone's build is the same power

and you are splitting the loot

[azure lava]

Whatever stats you have when you deal the killing blow is what counts for rarity

[haughty niche]

consider the fact that 4 people could kill 1 boss that drops some more loot, but not completely 100% more OR they could each kill 1 boss for 100% of the loot

[young pollen]

thanks bro, very good to know

[safe lance]

Its fine, I have somewhat become a sanctum runner now. And I was the guy who could ascend the 4th time on my first char after like 10-15 tries and just gave up.

[haughty niche]

honour resist is a hell of a drug

[safe lance]

yeah haha, I have now been dropping it to go higher relic quantity

[velvet edge]

Hardcore players. Did I make a giga mistake trying to fight the boss in Traitors passage at 19 lol?

She seems impossible

And I understand why

She links to the trial

[safe lance]

yea she is level 21 right? sounds risky I am not HC tho

[velvet edge]

And can be skipped

I tried 30x after going to SSF

And still couldn't kill lol

So I think your absolutely supposed to skip in HC 😂

Come back at 27/28 and one shot before you go trial

[safe lance]

I dont plan on playing hc in this game at all and I play hc only in d4

[velvet edge]

I quite enjoy the thrill of HC never did before

But damn I'm annoyed

Didn't know you skip that boss lol

[safe lance]

you dont skip, Id assume you overlevel?

[velvet edge]

Totally forgot she's linked to trial

[safe lance]

you do need her

[velvet edge]

No you skip

[safe lance]

in cruel?

[velvet edge]

And come back after you finish Act 2

[safe lance]

yea you skip in cruel

ah ok

[velvet edge]

Normal too

[safe lance]

sure that also sounds like a good strat

[velvet edge]

She was nearly impossible

[hearty tundra]

What do I do with these idols?

[velvet edge]

I am, I consider, good at the game, had good weapon, decent gear and was on level and she was ridiculously hard lol

Mind this is SSF

So no twink gear and one shotting etc

The issue is area level shows 19

When she is not 19

[haughty niche]

sell to oswald, or drop outside of a town. they just give gold

[velvet edge]

So it's a bait if you forget

[hearty tundra]

oh

[velvet edge]

Oh well, try again tonight

Guess I'm giving some advice and asking a question haha

If your doing HCSSF do not fight that bitch on entry 😂

[safe lance]

noted, I'll prolly never do HC haha

[azure lava]

I got her first try at level ezpz

[safe lance]

maybe eventually when there are not a lot of stutter, network issues in PS5 idk

[azure lava]

Of my three hc deaths, none were to balbala

[velvet edge]

What class cause monk was absolutely impossible

[safe lance]

Also the transfer to softcore thing, doesnt give me enough adrenaline.

[azure lava]

All classes can use all skills and gear

[velvet edge]

Obviously

[azure lava]

I did it most recently with spark/orb/flame wall mercenary

[velvet edge]

But I'm playing monk properly

[azure lava]

Properly? Wtf does that mean?

[velvet edge]

Not bow and arrow pussy

[azure lava]

Show me where it says what the "proper" way to play a class is

[safe lance]

Byron's uses orb like franks red hot sauce, on everything

The proper way to play is with no armor or weapon

[azure lava]

Well I swapped to corrupting cry so I only use one button now

[safe lance]

monks are anti-weapon and use karate

thats how I played em in bg3

[velvet edge]

People can use what they like

[safe lance]

I thought the ascendancy would promote more empty hand play btw

[velvet edge]

But I'm not playing a melee class with a bow until mid game lol

[azure lava]

Exactly. Which is why I emphasize that all classes can use everything

[azure lava]

There is no such thing as a melee class in poe

[safe lance]

This isnt mid game tho, we want to rush through acts and get to the real midgame

and this is way too long compared to poe1

[velvet edge]

Ice strike I should say

[safe lance]

idk how I am gonna tolerate this for every char every league

[velvet edge]

Although the damage comes from bells and HOI

Still a melee skill

[safe lance]

bell is very , I love that skill

[azure lava]

My main skill literally didn't become available until level 41 so I just went with the ol sparky spark

[velvet edge]

14 here. But the main issue in Act 2 is crackling staffs drop everywhere

Which are fucking useless for ice strike lul

[azure lava]

I mean

Not entirely but I get what you mean

[velvet edge]

Think a little later into act when you go keth etc others start dropping

HCSSF is plagued for me

Everything good is Armor based

[azure lava]

???

Oh, you mean the drops you find?

[velvet edge]

Every good drop I get is pure armor

[azure lava]

Ah, I see

[velvet edge]

Or armor/eva

[azure lava]

Time to get that str up

I'm str stacking and having a great time

[velvet edge]

Damn I died with my 30 spirit chest

That's pain

[safe lance]

[fringe obsidian]

Yeah the new attribute system makes it a little less painful if stuff drops that isn't the defense type you want while levelling

[velvet edge]

Getting 30 spirit with res on chest in Act 1 is god tier

[ebon tree]

yo someone call me i wanna see if my mic works

[azure lava]

What build are you doing where 30 spirit is really important?

[velvet edge]

None that early

[fringe obsidian]

just use windows record?

[velvet edge]

Was just ghost dance

Nothing important

[ebon tree]

just call me?

[azure lava]

Not what this channel is for

[safe lance]

[ebon tree]

bro just help me out

Im in act 3

[safe lance]

just join a vc

[fringe obsidian]

I did. there's like 3 different ways to listen to your mic on windows

[ebon tree]

i play fortnite

150 in the world at mw3 og cod

[fringe obsidian]

you don't need to jump into an early campaign channel and ask for voice calls

[safe lance]

how is that relevant

[azure lava]

Bro just use your pc's features or ask in a channel that isn't for campaign questions in poe2

[ebon tree]

have some rerspect

[fringe obsidian]

I have less respect if anything

[safe lance]

do you have a Phd by any chance? I'll call you Dr. disrespect then

[fringe obsidian]

no too stupid 😦

[ebon tree]

how cause you dont have reaction time and play a ga,me using youtubers builds to over poewer the game?

[azure lava]

Mate, pls.

[fringe obsidian]

no. because you told me to respect you lol. immediately makes me lose respect

[hard cypress]

Is this.. some meme ?

[safe lance]

no, because we can test our voice chat ourselves

And the worst part is I am a boomer

[azure lava]

I don't know what possessed you to come in here for a fucking mic check, but this ain't the place

[ebon tree]

w.e thought i could find someone cool in this commmunity, no wonder i lost the vive for this game.

[haughty niche]

discord literally has a voice checking feature in the settings

[fringe obsidian]

lol. lmao even

[azure lava]

We've provided a plethora of alternative solutions for your problem

[ebon tree]

just call me

mic ch🇨🇰

[azure lava]

I'm at fuckin work mate. People come in here to use text, not voice. Join a voice call

[fringe obsidian]

joins campaign help channel, demands people call him because he's great at fortnite or something. people say no: "community sucks, game sucks"

[ebon tree]

whys it that hard, im your brother asking for hellp

[azure lava]

#🔴how-to-join-voice🔴

[azure lava]

And we've offered you many, many ways to help

At this point it feels like you want to blast an air horn into your mic like some sort of dumb prank

[ebon tree]

i see how it is. thanks for nothing

[fringe obsidian]

HAHAHAHA

[azure lava]

Any time

[ebon tree]

ill go find some comprehensive indivuduals. have fun with your shit game

[velvet edge]

Think this is a troll

[shut abyss]

maybe fortnite/cod players just be like that

[velvet edge]

He thinks the game is shit for a start

[fringe obsidian]

i don't think the word "comprehensive" means what you think it means

[velvet edge]

Why is he here

[velvet edge]

LOL

[ebon tree]

bro.. youre embrassing

[azure lava]

Comprehensive? Look up that word before you try to use a "cool" signoff

[ebon tree]

you cant comprehend my intellect

[azure lava]

I truly can't

[fringe obsidian]

ok this has got to be for a youtube edit or something right

[hard cypress]

Just ban and move on at this point imo

[azure lava]

I wish I could

[delicate geode]

bro must have some kind of exhibitionism kink at this point

[safe lance]

"POE community is unfriendly"

[fringe obsidian]

it's true. I hate all of you so much

it's unreal

[safe lance]

no I hate you all more!

[fringe obsidian]

FIGHT ME IN FORTNITE RIGHT NOW

[hard cypress]

I think its ok if you're unfriendly in this case

[safe lance]

I guess no new players have any questions atm, so this works

[azure lava]

Let's not stoop to their level, y'all. Back to poe campaign topics

[safe lance]

I hang out here during boring meetings

[ebon tree]

1v1 me

[azure lava]

Me and zed

[safe lance]

how? you dont even have voice chat

[fringe obsidian]

yeah I actually just like the chat tbh. I find that the poe 2 and poe 2 early access chats are less interesting. plus I like when people have actual questions

[ebon tree]

naw its my girl, trying to prove a point

[hard cypress]

damn wrekt lol

[ebon tree]

bye nerds love you, get boxed like a fish,

[fringe obsidian]

and I learn stuff too since poe 2 is pretty different from 1

[safe lance]

some new player pls ask a question lol

[hard cypress]

Anyway, what are fun builds which use different weapons on the two sets ?

[safe lance]

btw PSA for console players, pob.cool for poe2 is out

and works very well

[delicate geode]

i had one but now i dont wanna ask it

[safe lance]

obv import isnt available for pob2 or pob.cool2 until GGG makes profile public

[shut abyss]

i demand questions!

[haughty niche]

besides just for some random 1-off buff, id assume mercenary can actually utilise that somewhat with the 40+ weaponset points he can get via ascendency

[azure lava]

Hey, first time playing hcssf, what are some good builds to help me box the fish boss? I'd join a party but my mic doesn't work

[safe lance]

I find shattering conc very satisfying an dI love it

[fringe obsidian]

not different weapons, but right now I'm running a witchhunter that uses a proj level crossbow on the offhand to spawn ripwire and artillery ballistas. they set up ailments and pinning for my main abilities, which are siege cascade for clear and rapid shot for single target

I'm using 43 weapon swap points and its a total blast

[hard cypress]

The ballistas remain when you go back to antoher weapon ?

[delicate geode]

practice your edits first

[fringe obsidian]

hell yeah! and they snapshot the tree I have set for them

so basically they keep targets ignited/pinned, and then my main tree is just PURE DPS

[shut abyss]

i use two bows for cast on freeze with ice shot and cast on shock with lightning rod

[haughty niche]

they snapshot tree?

[fringe obsidian]

they must since my tree lets me summon 3

and they stay out

[azure lava]

I like the idea of using a swap between a fire and ice spell set to freeze stuff and then use frost fire support and that one node on the tree to do a gnarly ignite on a frozen enemy

[gentle flower]

Where can i look for ppl carry me through T2 Simulacrum?

[haughty niche]

seems like a bug honestly. totems have been very against snapshotting on totems and has tried at every point to not allow it

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[hard cypress]

Ya elemental shennanigans probably very useful with weapon sets

[fringe obsidian]

I think they must have made an exception because of weapon swapping

[azure lava]

I've never tried it but I really want to

[fringe obsidian]

like it's the entire point of the system

[haughty niche]

I still assume the currently equipped weapon is used for calculating damage

[fringe obsidian]

totems don't use your weapon (ballistas anyway)

[haughty niche]

oh thats a wack change

[azure lava]

Shockwave totem as well

[haughty niche]

i thought it was just shockwave

[fringe obsidian]

haha like I said, I think they changed it BECAUSE they want to allow weapon swap snapshots

at any rate as far as I can tell it snapshots. and it's super super fun

[haughty niche]

ah yeah ok

[delicate geode]

are you guys also running neversink item filters? if so where can i see what theyre actually filtering out, i cba to read the entire code for the filter lmao

[haughty niche]

Thats kind of lame imo, but cool for the weaponswap tree i guess

[fringe obsidian]

uhhh that is how you'd check though :(. you can hold alt while running them to see filtered items on the ground

but that's pretty tedious

[azure lava]

Idk how/why, but I'm not using a loot filter at all. I haven't gotten one yet.

[haughty niche]

https://www.filterblade.xyz/?game=Poe2

[azure lava]

I highly recommend it but I somehow haven't gotten one for poe2 yet

[fringe obsidian]

it's a pretty big change from poe 1 I know. but it opens up some interesting options

[haughty niche]

removes using unique/special weapons. seems more restrictive. At least for builds trying to go full ballista

[hard cypress]

I got a loot filter just to highlight exalted orbs better lol. The default one is same as small white items for some reason

[haughty niche]

that link i sent shows filter rules / whats hidden

[fringe obsidian]

only time will tell. the totems still inheret a lot of your stats on the tree. I wonder how it works with global weapon stats... hmmm that'd be something to try out, I'll need to try summoning some with that unique crossbow that chains. gut instinct tells me it won't work though

[delicate geode]

ive gotten on but the font is absolutely massive and i ahve no clue if im missing stuff or not haha

[hard cypress]

You can use filterblade to fully adjust something and make your own

[haughty niche]

im assuming the line on the skill that says it uses its own weapon means it strictly does not use yours

[delicate geode]

yeah maybe ill take some time once and get it right

[hard cypress]

I think the font sizes are bigger so the "pick up" interact snaps to them better than the smaller lesser value items

[azure lava]

I believe viper said that Ancestral warrior totem uses a 2h mace and Shockwave totem is an unspecified weapon type. I assume ballista is a cbow, but I'm not sure

[delicate geode]

ah makes sense but now im running strict3 and blues are double the size they normally were lol
