[half vigil]

rarely ngl but i do have it

[cursive bluff]

that i 100% agree with lol

[half vigil]

uhh i can send my build here

[cursive bluff]

yeah its not been the greatest for me either haha

[cursive bluff]

with what you said you dont seem to generate them so no need to use the unique

[turbid skiff]

Many factors came into play, your evasion, your defences, his hit chance rolls, his crit chance. Could have been any of those that kept you alive and just him moving you around and sometimes you were unlucky and his hits critted you or hit you multiple times. Who knows. What we do know is that if you one shot him. It eliminates all of that and you can dance if you want to

[trim turret]

I mean, you should know if you're generating charges. If you aren't, and really even if you are, no reason to use the unique gloves.

[cursive bluff]

just use the rare and disenchant the unique for a chance shard

[half vigil]

i mean its cool i just forget to use it

[cursive bluff]

unless you're a pro at the game a generic casual arent gonna have the stats required to survive the roll or slams full effect i was saying it as a super casual that was facing the gorilla

[hard cypress]

And carrying a new player so everything is one shot and putting them at end game is a sure way to get them to quit

[cursive bluff]

i dont feel they stay alive long enough to do anything im only level 17 so not many minions but the bone constructs from unearth do much more damage and move much faster

i do use them but just to bolster numbers not to do more damage lol

[turbid skiff]

You need more links! Want some? I think i have enough lesser, greater and perfects to get you most if not all each 6 link

[half vigil]

meat shield ngl

[turbid skiff]

Or to want to keep pushing to one shot everything and do the same for everygame 😄

[cursive bluff]

their move speed is abysmal so unless i summon mid fight while enemies are there id have to summon a bunch from the corpses which takes like 1 sec per cast so the ones you've summoned are already losing time

[half vigil]

is life recoup good

[cursive bluff]

bone constructs move at same speed as me currently (only 15% move speed on boots)

even with that node

[half vigil]

theyre good when there is a huge amount of enemies

[cursive bluff]

zombies are slow

[lament stone]

or they would end up underlevelled and have to play through the campaign again just to level up because of the exp penalty for being too low level compared to the enemies theyre fighting

[cursive bluff]

dont get me wrong i use them and fairly often i just dont rely on them for anything i just summon because i can and i like to see a lot of minions lol

[still light]

Not necessarily. That's just a downside of online play. Your Client registers the precise locations but the server determines what effects take place so if you dodge late, and you get out of an AoE on your Client, that data might not have reached the server yet so it acts like you have been hit, since your client then sends "nah they weren't actually hit, I saw it with my own eyes" the server says back "ah shit dude you right, unfortunately we already move him but we can nullify the damage". Obviously this is dramatised for lolz, but this is more or less how these things are processed in online games. WoW, FFXI/FFXIV, Warframe, all do this. If it waits to process everything until the client sends the positional data, things would feel super delayed and lagged. A person could be hit by an AoE and not take damage for a second or two. Not ideal in a fast paced game because then there's complaints of "how did I die, I was out of the AoE". It's also terrible if you're in a game that has a hardcore mode because a thing may be completely processed server side before you even see it on your client. So yeah just an MMO/Internet problem, not necessarily a PoE Hitbox problem

[half vigil]

not reading allat

[cursive bluff]

TL:DR?

[safe lance]

Just read if you are interested otherwise skip

[safe lance]

In poe1 we had two network settings (for PC, it was locked for console), they give you mild agency over this btw.

[haughty niche]

Poe1 had 3 networking modes that felt better depending on the player and ping. ^

3rd being a hybrid option that attempts to pick for you

[turbid skiff]

I can help if thats the case getting to 60/65 is like 20 mins! after a 25/30 min act 1 to act 6 completion!

[still light]

Uhh, let's try this then

player/client dodges AoE, internet is not instant, dodge still happens and server doesn't register damage but it still registers the pushing animation because if it waited til your client said you dodged everything would FEEL laggy

[safe lance]

basically the good ol' CS fairness-accuracy tradeoff

[still light]

Yep

[cursive bluff]

personally i was joking lol

[safe lance]

too late, I have added a note to your profile as "doesnt like to read"

[cursive bluff]

i mean you're still not wrong lol

dyslexia be like that

[turbid skiff]

Yes me too. And likes to complain

[cursive bluff]

what did i complain about?

[haughty niche]

I hope we get networking modes option soon. Iirc one of them was buggy for ea so disabled prior to its launch.

I liked lockstep cause it forced the client to wait for server to catch up. Works very well if you have fine ping and if you are lagging it removes rubberbanding and instead look a bit like frame drops. I can handle frame drops, but slingshotting around is aggrevating

[turbid skiff]

Not you

[cursive bluff]

im who they was on about though lol

[turbid skiff]

Someone said not going to read allat. Allat i'm assuming was all of that? Or alla cart. I'm not sure but i read not going to read

[safe lance]

it means a la carte

[cursive bluff]

it means they are lazy typers XD

[safe lance]

they order their questions and answers off the menu

[still light]

Allat means all that

Lol

[turbid skiff]

yes i'm assuming they meant alla cart for allat

[safe lance]

*out of the manu

*menu

[turbid skiff]

out of the wild

where the wild things are

[cursive bluff]

are there any other minions past the frost ones that do DOT damage as their primary DPS?

or just snipers gas?

[safe lance]

fire is dot?

[still light]

Well if you're actually interested and didn't wanna read "allat" there is a shortened version lol

[cursive bluff]

but is that hit damage or DOT based?

[haughty niche]

Fire is not dot inherently.

[cursive bluff]

yeah didnt think so im thinking more like the gas grenade of snipers

[haughty niche]

Fire is onw of 5 damage types, of which each can be dot or hit

[safe lance]

yea sry ignite

I am also trying to play on the side, I shoud close discord for a bit

ok I am done

[cursive bluff]

for fire to get the DOT id have to scale ailment magnitude?

[safe lance]

in poe1 I used to see dead bodies as ritual rewards, it meant you can summon them? Does that not exist in poe2?

[cursive bluff]

i think those was from the league theme

king in the mist no?

[safe lance]

if I am not wrong, fire damage can ignite and then the DOT would depend on the hit AND also ailment magnitude?

This time it is an actual question as I am unsure, I dont play a ignite builds. The fire visual in this game hurts my eyes.

[cursive bluff]

yeah thats focusing too much lol at least with gas i just go generic minion damage and then as much phys damage to allies on weapons as possible if that exists

[safe lance]

no idea, I've never played minions and I think I asked in poe1 new player help and they said they could be minions

[cursive bluff]

i didnt either

i think they was spectres which came with their own loadout or something idk i didnt play it

i played the league but didnt use those i just used awakened poe trade to see if any was worth selling XD

[safe lance]

so they could be summoned?

[rapid pond]

Which cache chests should you go for after sekhemas as merc/witch hunter?

[cursive bluff]

so minions (at least raise zombie) can use power charges to summon without needing a corpse. theres a wand with "power siphon" which gives power charges upon culling an enemy. yet theres nothing in the witch passive tree section which does anything for power charges

TL:DR witch passive tree suck for power charges

[safe lance]

does that skill exist in poe2?

My wife uses unearth and that only summons scorpions

[cursive bluff]

the poe1 league mechanic we was on about?

[safe lance]

no, the raise zombies skill

will check

[cursive bluff]

yeah thats in poe2

im using it

can use a corpse or summon freely using a power charge

[safe lance]

what does it summon? a standard zombie type minion?

[cursive bluff]

these wands can be used since we are int based yet the passive tree has nothing helping power charges

[cursive bluff]

yeah nothing special

i use it fairly often but they are underwhelming compared to the bone constructs

and its always nice seeing a bunch of numbers lol

did have 10 zombies but they despawn quicker than 20 seconds im sure of it lol

oh

the zombies summoned via power charges ohko a rare

erm ok that changes things

[turbid skiff]

Do they do anything?

[turbid skiff]

I can't see the benefit of having pets in any game.

[cursive bluff]

the skele warriors and corpse summoned zombies no

snipers basic hit no

[turbid skiff]

Oh...

[cursive bluff]

snipers gas and bone constructs yes

they are meat shields

[turbid skiff]

One shot?!?!?! Do they one shot pinnacles and t15/16 map monsters?

[cursive bluff]

i dunno im only level 20 XD

[turbid skiff]

These snipers you speak of are they like the icewall/bone cage combo?

[turbid skiff]

Teach me and I will lean on you

[safe lance]

yeah, look at this #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help message

[cursive bluff]

cant tell if sarcasm or rage baiter

[safe lance]

wdym? its an actual clip of someone here

[tranquil comet]

anyone know if the Sacraficial heart in aggorat counts for whole party or just the person doing it?

[cursive bluff]

not you. squiggly

[haughty niche]

Everyone needs to do it

[tranquil comet]

heart doesnt drop again, im running friends through + the alter has a heart already in it. Did i miss something

[safe lance]

oh I linked the wrong one, I wanted to link a video of him 1 shotting trialmaster but am too lazy to find it.

[haughty niche]

Heart drops in the area with viper napkin boss and rarely in the agorrat itself. Ive explored most of the area before without finding it

[waxen bough]

is there a way to check which venom draught that I chose in normal?

[haughty niche]

Should show on world map iirc

[safe lance]

well on PS5 it shows the name of the draught in normal but only the color/icon in cruel for some reason.

[tranquil comet]

no ive done that area also, like i said there is already a heart in the sacrafice spot because 1 person did it and everyones heart dissapeared. We tried running it back for the others but no hearts are dropping anymore

[waxen bough]

iirc?

[haughty niche]

If i recall correctly

[waxen bough]

Zed where at?

[safe lance]

just go to menu > quests > R3 and navigate to icon below venom crypt

it shows what you chose in text and icon

doesnt show text for cruel tho, prolly a bug

[waxen bough]

thanks guys

[dry tartan]

Does anyone have a bug where it shows the wrong stats in passive tree page

[real plaza]

anyone wanna help me fight ancient seed and death lord?

[haughty niche]

i refuse to believe those are real enemy names

[real plaza]

Ong they are, and one of the worse ones 💀🗿

[haughty niche]

oh bone pits boss

i didn't think they could be problematic?

[real plaza]

2 v 1

Unfair

[haughty niche]

try #2┃looking-for-group
Theres more people actively playing the game in there

[hard cypress]

Someone else mentioned this exact issue

Stats on character screen was correct but flipped in the tree screen

[dry tartan]

Yeah I just seen someone else say it happened to them glad it’s not just me lol

[hard cypress]

You can bait just one of them if it's the duo I'm thinking of

If it's the double skeleton ones in a small circle arena

[real plaza]

They dead now 😈

[hard cypress]

Ha nice

[lucid geyser]

is there a stash tab sale comin gup anytime soon?

[hard cypress]

Feb 14 around

[lucid geyser]

ty!!

[rugged badger]

What's the best build rn for sorc?

Something that can do both bossing and mapping

[waxen bough]

at 92 I should have 116 skill points? I have the 24weapon ones. but I don't see a "used points" or anything.

[haughty niche]

24 means you have all the optional quests done that reward passive points

[buoyant socket]

whats better add # to # physical dmd or add #% increce physical damage?

[waxen bough]

I got that..I mean...how many points should I have at 92? I assumed 92 plus the 24=116. I should have 116 points?

[haughty niche]

Might be -1 cause you dont start with 1 point

[trim turret]

Depends on a lot of factors and the context.

This is on a weapon?

[buoyant socket]

on a Quarterstaff

[trim turret]

Whichever one will make the damage up top higher.

How do you have the choice between them?

[buoyant socket]

its not that I have to choose im just looking for trades to gear myself up

[trim turret]

Then you should search for overall physical dps if you're after a good physical damage roll on the weapon.

Unless you're deep into the campaign you shouldn't really need to trade for gear anyway.

[buoyant socket]

ok thanks

[tight python]

people said I cant access trading until lvl 25, Im now 25 where do I trade?

[trim turret]

Currency exchange becomes available in act 1 cruel and you trade for items using pathofexile.com/trade2 though you shouldn't need to trade for much at level 25.

[tight python]

oh its a website?

wtf are these trades?

[weary osprey]

don't search for orbs directly

[haughty niche]

dont use the trade site for currency conversion. If you really want to, at least use the bulk section at the top.

But currency exchange is actually an ingame thing starting in act 1 cruel onwards

[tight python]

where do I do it ingame?

[haughty niche]

at the currency exchange npc

Finn does it in act 1 cruel after his quest

[haughty niche]

are you in cruel difficulty, and did you finish his quest.

[tight python]

what is cruel difficulty?

[haughty niche]

after completing acts 1-3 you do them again on cruel difficulty before reaching endgame

[tight python]

oh Im only in act 2

[haughty niche]

Its a temporary thing until they complete acts 4-6

[tight python]

so how do I get more exalted orbs?

[weary osprey]

they drop randomly

[tight python]

but can I like disenchant items like for the regal orb?

[haughty niche]

Nope

[tight python]

so dropping is the only way?

[foggy birch]

72 ex for 1 ex looks like a great deal

[tight python]

but why would they offer something like that, they go negative

its like I give you 10k and you give me 1k

[foggy birch]

out of good will?

or maybe theyre a charity

we dont know

[tight python]

so to make a deal I just whisper the guy?

[foggy birch]

ye

[tight python]

this happened ingame

why is it chinese?

[foggy birch]

🤣

[weary osprey]

it sends the trade query as the seller's account language

[tight python]

oh wait is this like I sent him the offer and if he accepts I get the 3 ex's and he gets mine?

[haughty niche]

And its not 72ex for 1 ex.

The 72 is the total thry have, the rate is 1 per

Like i said, dont use the trade site for currency exchange

Or if you do, use the bulk tab option

The default trade options dont visually show what they are selling well.

[haughty niche]

No.

You manually need to go to his hideout and trade the items for his

[tight python]

alright then I will just ignore trading for now and move on lmao

how do I get more spirit?

[royal vessel]

hey guys, anyone run into the issue where pain offering will use the ranged dps minions over the warriors..? Kind of breaking my current build

[elder ember]

If you have less than 100 you need to kill some bosses in the campaign. Otherwise you can get it on body armor or amulets

[trim turret]

It says it will impale a skeleton. Doesnt specify what type.

[royal vessel]

well it used to be whatever you're hovering over but now no matter what i do it WILL ONLY offer the arsonists as long as they are up lol

[tight python]

whats the difference here? just the level?

is the ascendory class better/stronger if I do the area level 26?

[trim turret]

No. Your subclass is your subclass. You can repeat the green one, it will be marginally easier since it's lower level.

[plush mantle]

second on is a quest version, it can be used until you beat the trial. The first is a drop, that will be consumed when you attempt the trial, win or lose

[trim turret]

Can repeat if you fail*

[unkempt anchor]

the right side is for single use while left side is reusable

[dark heart]

hi guys

is there a template here of every class for endgame build?

[trim turret]

A template?

[buoyant socket]

burh idk its so satisfaying waiting in Live search for like 2 hours just to buy a good Quarterstaff

[foggy birch]

so true

[trim turret]

Well again, you shouldn't really need to trade at your level so everything you're trying to buy is probably worth very little and people don't bother responding.

[foggy birch]

ive been chilling and sitting on live trade aswell

for the past 3 hours

[buoyant socket]

its not thay they are not responding im just waithing for better stats

I have 10 ex in the bank so it should cost me 5 ex with the total upgrades if I get the staff for 2 ex

[trim turret]

What do you mean waiting for better stats? The trade website has all kinds of search functions so you can find exactly what you want.

[buoyant socket]

I havent found people who would sell to a resonable price the one with better stats so im waithing at live search for new opportunities

this is what im waiting but lot of them add a big price only cuz they spent some whetstones

[trim turret]

30 exalts isn't a big price.

And that isnt a great staff.

Items aren't good just because they're unique.

Waiting in any live chat channel ingame is just asking for a bad time.

[buoyant socket]

I believe that but I dont have any way of making them atm, im lvl 32 in game and cant get a better quaterstaff than what I have atm

[trim turret]

Then just keep playing until one drops or you craft one or you have the currency to trade for one?

What is your current quarterstaff?

[buoyant socket]

dont laught

:)))

[dusky burrow]

first time i have ever seen anyone use that before

and it was a poe1 item too

[buoyant socket]

I feel unique now 🙂

I had wasted like 8 crafts and havent gotten better than this

[wraith monolith]

im going for a minion infernalist build.. currently act 2 and got a lvl 8 and 9 skill gem... is arsonist prio and flamewall second? 😄 ty

[trim turret]

You should easily be able to find something with better damage at your level. A good magic item would be better than that.

[sage lotus]

Anyone have a setting for potato?

i can run with my i7 7th gen 1060 and 8 gb ram but it crash on loading screen sometimes

[buoyant socket]

have u tried DLSS?

[sage lotus]

Is that in game option or smt? Sorry im trash at tech stuff

[trim turret]

One level probably won't make that much of a difference.

[trim turret]

Yes that's an ingame setting. Are your drivers up to date? Also can try a different renderer. A 1060 may not even support dx12.

[sage lotus]

It’s up to date and im running it on dx11

[trim turret]

Try vulkan if it will let you.

[sage lotus]

Did try vulkan and dx12 was too laggy to handle

By that i mean the mobs doesnt load but hitting me

[trim turret]

Beat advice I can give is to turn things...down.

[sage lotus]

Yeah i turn everything down as low as possible, but i wonder anyway to turn it even lower than this through like config or smt

Like make my character into polygon smt along those line

[buoyant socket]

can u share a photo gasp better the situation?

[sage lotus]

That ganna took a while

[trim turret]

It's a new game on updated tech and you're running 8+ year old hardware, you can only do so much.

[sage lotus]

I uninstalled the steam version trying to use the poe client to see if that does anything

[sage lotus]

Yeah thought so

https://tenor.com/view/computer-today-game-gaming-girl-gif-12270697

[buoyant socket]

it isnt suppose to run differently

[sage lotus]

I did it for my strinova and it did some how perform better so it might just me

[buoyant socket]

I have for instance a laptop with i5-12500H 3060 16ram and I still strugle to get 80-100 FPS on DLSS on performance

[warped wren]

man what does it take to beat Rattlecage?! ive tried my first sekema trial at least 5 times

[trim turret]

Damage him without losing honor. Can always come back later.

[minor widget]

Hi guys I'm new to Poe 2 in act 3 and I want to understand if you are supposed to keep basic bolts bound for mercenary or not.

I'm using an ammo build at the moment but idk if I should still be using basic bolts at level 35 or not

[trim turret]

Probably not unless it's serving some purpose as part of your overall plan.

[minor widget]

Thank you. I have been using it still but I wasn't really sure why. I haven't been able to find a guide for an ammo based build that I liked. I'm basically using armor pierce, rapid shot, galvanic shards and ballista
I have the elemental ones bound but rarely use.

[trim turret]

You want to focus and find interactions between skills that you can build on.

I used permafrost bolts and scattershot rounds to freeze and explode enemies for a long time since scattershot gets a damage bonus to frozen enemies.

[minor widget]

I was doing that early game but the slow reloading was killing me; it also turns out the lightning passive is soooo much more damage than the fire one for herald

Should I be using grenades instead? I thought I was playing a bolt build but maybe I'm not 😂

[trim turret]

That's because they function differently, it's not about the type of damage.

[warped wren]

what do you mean damage him? its win the fight or restart as far as I can tell

[trim turret]

There is no "should." Some people do all grenades. Some use none. I did a voltaic grenade and shockburst rounds setup. At one point I did flash grenades and devastate support to break enemies armor and armor explosion to blow them all up.

[trim turret]

Yeah, damage him until he dies without losing honor. Can always farm relics with max honor and honor resists.

[warped wren]

wait to get the trial done and ascend you have to no hit him?

[hybrid star]

he means not letting him hit you

[warped wren]

yeah thats what I mean

you cant ascend if you get hit in the fight?

[hybrid star]

getting hit less actually

you lose honour if you get hit and it's not recoverable during fight

[molten meadow]

how to make sorceress not bad?? my one friend has a lvl79 and can't map. then my sister is doing the early game following guides and taking 10min to do bosses 😦 pls help ❤️ <me and her husband were gonna just help her through it, but if the end games hopeless there's no point, she just wants to be a girl xD

[trim turret]

Don't let your honor hit 0.

[trim turret]

No idea how to answer that without knowing about their build. Sorceress is fine. All classes are.

[warped wren]

No I get that my honor is my health there

I thought you meant I couldn't lose any honor in the fight at all to ascend

It's more about how on earth you survive

That aoe blast move is so hard to clear

[delicate zephyr]

Does health of enemies get scaled in a party?

[river delta]

so there is a skill node that's 10% increased amount of mana leeched. Does this require a base amount of existing leech on items to be active

[molten meadow]

fyi disabling nvidia hd audio just dbl'd my frames...

[foggy birch]

thanks

i forgot in poe 1 this was a thing too

will disable here also

[delicate zephyr]

Roughly how fast should rare creatures be dying? What about bosses?
I feel like my damage is really low

Also - am I crazy or does it feel like rare and magic mobs almost always roll resistance to my damage type if they're gonna roll resistance to a damage type

[floral herald]

I see that there is an armour pack in the microtransaction shop and it looks cool is it a transmog? or is it a different armor with different stats?

[blissful helm]

Do I have to raise my shield to block? or does it auto block b/c its equipped

[mental ferry]

anyone need help?

[fiery flax]

in cruel a2 how can i get from 60 to 100 spirit?

[pine finch]

the % on your character stats is passive chance, it only counts for attacks and projectiles, not aoe. it also doesnt matter what direction the attack is coming from for passive. for active, it raises your chance to 100% but only from the front

[lavish halo]

What channel are the acend carries running in. I most definitely don’t feel like doing it on my alt

[onyx bone]

can you lose a level from dying?

or just lose xp from that current level

[blissful helm]

just xp

[onyx bone]

so if i die at the very start of level 86 i cant drop back down to 85

[pine finch]

nah thats why directly after lvling up is a good time to do pinnacle bosses and such

[onyx bone]

got it. thanks!

[tight radish]

IS THIS GOOD

[vague hollow]

how do you put a skill in a different weapon set?

[cursive scarab]

Do you mean passive?

[meager galleon]

the roll for ele dmg with attacks is pretty good, but you primarily care about the flat dmg on the weapon, cos thats whats used as the base for dmg calculation of attack skills

[safe lance]

probably means bind skill to weapon set, idk how on PC, havent touched PC in a while.

maybe just a checkbox?

[meager galleon]

when you go to G, and click the > to show details on the skill, at the bottom of that is a checkbox for weapon sets

[tight radish]

alr

i just maxxed it out with exalted orbs so i hope i can use it for my mercenery

[meager galleon]

bold move

did it get any good dmg rolls ?

[safe lance]

you can just equip it to see a rough dps calc btw

in vaccum that looks bad because it gives increased elemental but no flat elemental but I am assuming you are playing some build that does elemental attacks so it would probably have an ok multiplier

Something that does flat elemental could be better depending what skill and supports

[tight radish]

it got fire and lightning and other stuff

[safe lance]

that sounds good

[latent vessel]

why are logbooks so expensive now?

[safe lance]

they seem to be rare. I have been farming expedition out of curiosity and the drop rare is meh even with really high quantity and always exploding runic monsters.

And they feel so bad running, the boss apperance rate seems very low. I am 0 out of 12 atm.

On top of this expedition crafting also feels awful. Idk why I am even doing this, I guess nostalgia because I really liked Rog

[meager galleon]

also that is very much a #2┃after-acts-help question

since there are no expeditions in acts :)

[safe lance]

ah sry I didnt realize what channel I was in

[meager galleon]

you're good, you're just answering what was asked

[vague hollow]

but it still uses up one of the 9 slots?

[safe lance]

They used the term "Expedition logbook" in acts for some weird Alva camps info pedestals, it probably adds confusion to new players who actually read everything.

[vague hollow]

or can you make a skill on weapon set 2 not take up one of your 9 weapon slot 1 skill slots

[meager galleon]

you can't

[safe lance]

The skills slot is fixed

*you can increase it with unset ring or gemling ascendancy iirc

[meager galleon]

yep

i wonder what happend to the meta gems that were mentioned long ago before early access

where instead of putting supports into a skill, you basically put multiple skills into a support, and the point was that those were just unsuported active skills that used up only one skill slot

i'd like those

they might have scrapped them as they iterated on the system..

[safe lance]

That is how I had planned things and was disappointed when I got a high int, engraved skill and couldnt socket

btw this helm text (rage on melee hit) means hits you do, right? https://poe2db.tw/us/Horns_of_Bynden

I remember I had misunderstood some text like this in poe1 and was thinking it gave increased damage when it was increased damage taken

[kindred tundra]

Anyone know why my character has 100 spirit but when i try to activate my third buff it says not enough spirit? All three buffs = 90 spirit

[foggy birch]

gems use spirit

some of them

[kindred tundra]

ty

that was it

my guy

legendary

[craggy gyro]

can anyone help with bone pits boss plz

[boreal quartz]

Is there a list of POE1 armor/character effects that's currently working in POE2?

[meager galleon]

not that i'm aware off

[boreal quartz]

damn that's unfortunate

some POE1 cosmetics look sick but I don't wanna buy them if I won't see them in poe 2 rn

[meager galleon]

yeah thats fair, and at some point they all are supposed to be in poe2, but its better to wait for now

[boreal quartz]

yeah fair enough

actually on that rq, are there any support bundles like POE2 has for POE1?

can't seem to find them

[supple granite]

Maybe a stupid question but can zarohk (4th floor sekhema boss) be instant phased to skip his game mechanics?

Edit: oh it is possible. Pls ignore this.

[meager galleon]

very much a #2┃after-acts-help question

[blazing geyser]

Is any one know what should i do if I lost quest item how to get back i lost quest items and i played the quest more times and i can not get it I changed the server and i did everything possible but I could not find it back is any one has the issue of maybe anyone know how can I resolve this issue?

[meager galleon]

you just need to reset the zone and go get it again

[blazing geyser]

I already did but there is nothing I can not find it back

[meager galleon]

what quest is it ?

[blazing geyser]

Two quests the first one travel to traitor passage and the second one find a use for the relic

I repeat it them 100 times but i can not find them again

[meager galleon]

the traitors passage one has been bugged for a while now, its just doesnt go away, not sure if they already fixed that

the relic, you need to find 2 relics, in different zones in act2 and then there is an altar in ehh, whats the zone name

titan valley or something

[supple granite]

Traitor passage quest is only doable in normal. Just ignore the quest cue in cruel.

[blazing geyser]

The problem with the relic i found them then i throw them away and i can not find them again

[supple granite]

Does not matter.

[blazing geyser]

I don’t know how can I come to the end game

[supple granite]

It is a random drop. Just kill more mobs.

[blazing geyser]

What should I do to come to the end game

[supple granite]

I think it is a weird design for a quest item to be random drop but we have no say in the matter. Just go to bone pit area and kill mobs, the other relic is in keith. Actually they can drop in adjacent zones of those two, but I forgot their names.

[meager galleon]

you just need to follow the main quest line

[blazing geyser]

Yes that’s why without those to quests I can not any more

I already sent the support but I got no feedback until now

[blazing geyser]

I think the game has big issue if you lost the item and you tried to find it you will not be able to find it again

You just have one chance

[daring flare]

does it have to be the relic from the quest or can you use any for the trial?

[supple granite]

I am not sure. It is probably a bug. You can repeat quest until you complete it.

[blazing geyser]

I already did 1000 times but it does not work

[daring flare]

if you can use any relic for it then i have a ton of relics

[blazing geyser]

I killed the boss more times but it gives me nothing

[supple granite]

Er... No the boss does not drop the sun clan relic...

It randomly drops from mobs.

[blazing geyser]

It should be the relic from this quest but I heard I can pass it if I play it with party is one can play this with me party

[supple granite]

You are talking about sekhema trial or the relic in Titan of the Valley?

[blazing geyser]

Relic in titan of the valley

[daring flare]

oh that one. i thought you were needing to do the trial

[blazing geyser]

No this one from the titan of the valley

[supple granite]

Then please ignore the bosses. The two relics randomly drop from the mobs in the zones, white, magic, rares etc. just clear them all.

[blazing geyser]

I did i swear but I got nothing I tried since 3 days every day

[supple granite]

Then it is probably a bug.

You can ignore it though. It is a side quest after all...

[blazing geyser]

And what about the other one

[daring flare]

the sun clan relic is found from random mobs in the bone pits. the kabala clan relic drops in keth

[blazing geyser]

Is it side quest ?

[daring flare]

yes

its not main story

[blazing geyser]

What about searching the passage

[daring flare]

it just gives a little passive buff

thats for the trial

[blazing geyser]

And what about the passage ?

[daring flare]

the passage is for the trial

[blazing geyser]

Is it side too

[daring flare]

no

[blazing geyser]

Yes

This too I can find the quest item of it

[daring flare]

its on the desert map

[blazing geyser]

Yes I know

I mean I kill the boss but it gives me nothing

I can not find the quest item

I tried many times

[daring flare]

hi hi. I have a weird question.
I'm playing a spark sorc, and when I get hit, my character staggers a little

I'm following a leveling guide

Is this stagger or stun preventable?

[obsidian kestrel]

I think #2┃looking-for-group is where you'd want to post that

[meager galleon]

or The forbidden trove discord, thats a place for trading services like carries

[slate lagoon]

me bro 🙂 im at begininng level 24 🙂

[hybrid star]

I'm stuck no portal from cemetery

[daring dirge]

After beating the boss there should be an entrance to hunting grounds from boss room

[warped copper]

hey guys im planning to create mercenary account. what leveling guide should i follow? also which one of these are better for endgame

[trim turret]

The left one uses crossbows and the right one is a quarterstaff melee build. A decent build should include a leveling guide.

[warped copper]

whats the meta build called ? im new to this class

[trim turret]

There isn't one meta build for the class?

[warped copper]

oh really?

[trim turret]

For any class.

[warped copper]

i see a lot of people playing that gemling legionaire

[tight radish]

the meta is having the best gear

[trim turret]

That's just a subclass though, a build is more than that.

[warped copper]

im sure there is one or two meta builds for this class

i dont think all of people following their own random builde

[trim turret]

There are viable mercenary builds that use grenades, ammo skills, that one build you linked uses monk weapons and skills. There are a lot of perfectly fine options.

[warped copper]

which one is better

[lament stone]

thats the thing, there is no "best" build

with enough investment pretty much any build can do everything the game has to offer

[warped copper]

there should be some meta builds tho ?

i havent seen any arpg everything is viable

[lament stone]

welcome to poe

[pseudo gull]

Unrelated... who is your avatar?

[lament stone]

where flame dash totems can do ubers

[warped copper]

also if ur statement were true, why do most of the people following same spark guide

[lament stone]

because its easy and relatively affordable

and scales well with investment

and a lot of people just dont care to experiment

[warped copper]

yes i need another class/build like this

can you name some pls

[sand tangle]

is there a place I can report bugs in the game?

[lament stone]

gemling has the strongest version of spark

[warped copper]

what is it called ?

[trim turret]

Go on maxroll and find one.

[lament stone]

probably something like "spark archmage gemling" most builds are just "skill name + scaling method + ascendancy choice"

[warped copper]

there is a lot u know i cannot differentiate em

[lament stone]

just pick something that sounds fun

[trim turret]

Well generically asking which one is "best" won't do any good either. Read a few, see if they use skills you would like.

[warped copper]

i dont care about skills

give me most dps

[lament stone]

most dps is going to be unaffordable

[trim turret]

All decent builds have fine DPS.

[lament stone]

.

[trim turret]

You're going to a car dealership and going "I want the RED one." There are lots of red ones.

[warped copper]

im going to a car dealership and asking which one is fastest

[lament stone]

fixating on the strongest wont get you anywhere, because 99% of players will never see enough currency to afford them

[warped copper]

i think its easy to answer : )

[meager galleon]

they are all equally fast when falling of a cliff

[trim turret]

Well, it isn't. And experienced players are telling you that.

[meager galleon]

its just hard to answer "whats best" in poe

yes, there are stupid high dps builds

but it also requires stupid amounts of gear to get there

which requires a lot of grinding

there are also stupid high dps builds that you literally cannot play before you got all the pieces for it to work

so you have to play a different build to get gear for that one

[warped copper]

yep maybe its in this way im not much experienced in this game

[meager galleon]

if we told you the highest dps build (if we even know what that is currently) chances are you'll try it, fail to make it work and think we are lying or the game is shit

[warped copper]

okay i change my question a bit

whats the best class/build to farm simulacrum

is there an answer for that

[meager galleon]

spark build is one of the best builds for simulacrum afaik

[gentle sleet]

Can someone help me through act 3

[flat fog]

can i do this on 5 d https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/703f8fbb-3357-4fd8-98f9-82473ee29093/builds/3a89899c-fbd6-486d-93f2-89127d79eed8?weaponSet=set1

[slate copper]

Hi guys. Im currently act 1, ogham manor.
Playing Merc. Can someone guide me on gearing?

[meager galleon]

i'm assuming you are going with crossbow skills?

[rapid pond]

What's best for venom choice in Act 3
-Stun Threshold
-elemental ailment
-mana regen rate

[slate copper]

Yes.

[meager galleon]

early game gearing for attack builds is fairly simple

on your weapon, you want flat dmg

on your other gear you want life and resistances

thats about it

and you want to upgrade your weapon regularly, cos the weapons dmg is used as base dmg for your skills

[slate copper]

How do I do that. Use the orbs?

[meager galleon]

you can try, also just finding better weapons, maybe gambling for them with npcs

gear upgrades in poe come mainly from drops

in acts

[dark heart]

Brimstone Weapon Effect is this cosme can be use in poe 2?

[slate copper]

For the attributes. I should go for dex and strength?

[meager galleon]

you only care for the attributes to the point of being able to equip gear, skills and support gems

[slate copper]

Thanks!

[oblique gulch]

Hello, any one having issues with pain offering targeting mainly arsonist and ignoring warrior completely

[solid fable]

crone being nice

it only lacks spirit

[trim turret]

Most of the cosmetics will be usable in both games but most of them have not be ported to POE2 yet.

[trim turret]

I've seen a couple mentions of it on the forums I think.

[narrow burrow]

do i need this " increased Magnitude of Shock you inflict " if im playing spark cos ? ( on my jewel )

[trim turret]

Depends how important shock is to your damage.

[narrow burrow]

im playing 2 cast on shock

thats mean its pretty important right ?

[trim turret]

It would certainly be a useful stat. But cast on shock relies on how often you're shocking, not the magnitude of the shock. But stronger shocks make enemies take more damage, just because that's what shock does.

[mental ferry]

anyone need any help with bosses or anything?

[hearty tundra]

whats the difference between prefixes and suffixes? arent they all called modifiers?

[trim turret]

Yes. But they're different mod pools. Magic items can have one of each, rares can have three of each.

Resistances are always suffixes.

Etc.

[hearty tundra]

ahh i see

[hearty tundra]

[azure lava]

No, riSe was the one that responded to you. They speak German.

[young pollen]

does anyone know the following bug? happened like 5 times already over a month and I don't even get what triggers it, but the end result is that all the item drops (with or w/0 the filter) are highlighted for like 3 seconds and then they disappear - won't show up unless I hold Alt. the only thing that helped is resetting all my Options to default, but that is a total pain inthe ass...

it basically hides all the text - even my portal has no text line unless I mouse over it blind

[final geyser]

It's not a bug, you just need to press Z. That toggles whether the labels remain on screen.

[young pollen]

holy shit, Z worked lol
guess I accidentally misclicked the key and had no idea that it does this

thanks

[lament mortar]

thanks a lot

its fixed now, great

[velvet edge]

Trying out a HCSSF Sorc, got lucky with a 50% spell damage +2 lightning spells staff first roll, I've played a bit of monk and stuff so had currency to make it better.

But even then, end of Act 1 Geanor seems ridiculously hard. Am I missing something? Isn't spark supposed to cruise campaign?

On monk I killed him before he could even phase 😂

[azure lava]

I don't believe you can make the graphs smaller *

And I play poe, of course I have mental problems

Illiteracy for one

[azure lava]

Early on, spark alone is pretty weak. It really needs orb of storms and flame wall to really feel solid.

[lament mortar]

Sorry buddy not everyone born to speak english 🙂

[azure lava]

Yeah, but you don't have go straight to accusing people of having mental problems either

[jaunty bluff]

which citadel is this? stone or copper?

[azure lava]

I leveled with spark on my mercenary until about level 44. It was honestly kinds rough even with +3 levels from weapon + focus and some damage mods. I was getting every damage boost on the tree I could and it was still barely passable

[azure lava]

#2┃after-acts-help

This is why you don't help people yo

I play hcssf, so I enjoy putting myself into positions that make me miserable. Builds character or something

[arctic blaze]

I believe you can do it. Challenges are so rewarding at the end!

anyone solved the bug skill issue?

I've beaten the campaign and that felt great. Beating the ascendancy trials first try and at-level was fun af

[azure lava]

Where's the blasphemy gem?

[clever geode]

all my other skill is fine

[azure lava]

And it gives you no info at all? Hm. Is it working? Like, can you enable it?

[clever geode]

just conductivity

i cant

it dont show up

=.=

[azure lava]

It won't show up there. Right click it

It's a spirit gem

Right click the icon in the gem panel

[clever geode]

?

no

why is it spirit

[azure lava]

Blasphemy makes it spirit

[clever geode]

this

not blasphemy

[azure lava]

Oh

[clever geode]

i know it says blasphemy

cause it's bugged

[azure lava]

You showed a blank panel for blasphemy I thought this was about blasphemy

[clever geode]

nono

lols

it's the panel for conduct

that's the problem

=.=

[azure lava]

Are you running two conductivity gems?

I saw one with two supports and another with none

[clever geode]

no

one only

i put in the support just now

i tried taking all my gear off

still dont work

[lament stone]

what isnt working?

[clever geode]

this is what it's showing

when i press >

conduct

and no it's not on blasphemy

[lament stone]

do you have a curse gem socketed in blasphemy?

[clever geode]

yes

[lament stone]

what is your curse limit?

[clever geode]

reomving it dont change conduct

that's not the point

i heard of people having issue with lvl 14 gems

does a crossbow count as a 2 handed weapon?

how does 1 insert the relics on the quest "insert the relics"

[golden berry]

yes

[trim turret]

Open inventory, click relics, place them in location. If the spot to install them isn't visible when it should be, hit Z.

[golden berry]

ahh what is z doing?

like is that a function button here?

[lament stone]

z permanently shows/hides all nameplates

[trim turret]

Z shows/hides nameplates for all items and seems to apply to the relic as well for some reason. If you can always see items on the ground you should be fine.

[golden berry]

i see ty ty ty ty

[azure lava]

Yep, hold alt and click on the underlined "crossbow" keyword

[meager flower]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/wtc4v0mk

@azure lava can you please explain how would the Orb of Storms in that build would apply exposure in that setup?

because it beats me hard, there's nothing attached to it

Unless Orb of Storms has some effect I don;t know about?

[velvet edge]

Yeah, weirdly enough I got a pillar of caged god while leveling haha

But not sure how good it will be for leveling without uniques.

Game is telling me something.

Reroll monk for HCSSF, poke poke

Pillar falls off hard though. Noticed it was done by about 30 without Astra?

[azure lava]

As far as I can tell, it doesn't apply exposure. Where are you seeing that it should?

[azure lava]

Weird way to spell "gemling Legionnaire"

Gemling Legionnaire is nuts for hc, imo. I'm at 4.5k life at level 73 in t3 maps

[meager flower]

It doesn't but someone kept insisting it should. On my Orb I have Strip Away and Lightning Exposure, and that should apply it, right?

[velvet edge]

For SSF it might beat most staffs long as you roll with some OK stats on gear

[azure lava]

I think so, yeah

[velvet edge]

But on my trade blast I got that other legendary unique at like 30

Nazirs judgement I think?

Blew it out of the water

[meager flower]

One more question. I get a ton of these maps with pre-applied emotions, is there any way to proffit from them without running them? As in, extracting the emotion, or anything more than vendoring them?

[velvet edge]

Think on monk it boils down to one, almost unobtainable item for most which I don't even need to say lol

[velvet edge]

Roll them, dump them in a 50 ex stash is what I do

I've sold about 30-40 maps in a few weeks doing this

[azure lava]

Tbh I've never gotten those. Also #2┃after-acts-help

[velvet edge]

Gonna try Geanor again after going back and getting a few levels, if I can't kill him over leveled with a really damn good staff then I'm back to monk HCSSF

Has 50% spell damage, int, lightning spells+2 and 20% cast speed, don't get much better SSF at the beginning right lol

[azure lava]

As long as you don't get hit, have good res, decent life, good life flask, and movement speed on boots, he should be a walk in the park

[velvet edge]

Yeah I've noticed ES is very pointless that early against Gaenor

[azure lava]

I think it's pointless without grim feast, and even then it's kinda meh in the whole campaign

[velvet edge]

It takes far too long to recharge

Yeah

Unless you maybe have Atziri and Azure on twink

Nvm

Atziri is 40 isn't it

[azure lava]

No idea lol. I've only played ssf so I've never touched those kinds of items

[velvet edge]

I'll always start trade, then play a bit of SSF/HCSSF to test myself and really get good at campaign between seasons I think. I won't commit to SSF until they improve upon current crafting system, but that's a whole other off topic discussion lol

I definitely don't think it's as bad as the OG players make it out, but it definitely needs work. Thanks for tips though bro, off to try again

[meager flower]

This skill ALWAYS inflict critical weakness. Even if I get it at tier 13 (min tier) and I get a -1 level from corruption on it, to decrease mana consumption as much as possible, am I right in my thinking?

[clever geode]

yes

[boreal quartz]

hey guys I'm following this guide: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/spark-archmage-stormweaver-leveling-guide#gearing-header

But I find that my damage is really lacking in act 2 and that it takes a WHILE to kill some enemies

I've been trying to check the vendors and etc for some more damage but I just don't see anything

are there any options to help increase dps?

[clever geode]

holy shit this game is buggy af when swaping weapons

[unreal heron]

im chaos enoculated, anybody know what randomly turns my blue shield purple?

[vague hollow]

are you swapping in hideout

[warped copper]

hey my friends mana tempest skill auto triggering why it could be?

[azure lava]

What is socketed in it/it socketed in?

[warped copper]

solved thanks

[azure lava]

You're upgrading spark as you find better uncut gems, right? Are you transmuting/augmenting/regaling arcane weapons? Are you looking for wands, staves, and foci? Are you using orb of storms/flame wall and leveling those too? Are you using solid support gems like acceleration and arcane tempo?

Are you using any uniques that are, unbeknownst to you, massively lowering your damage?

Are you focusing on damage on the tree and minimizing small nodes taken while maximizing notables taken?

[boreal quartz]

Yes spark is constantly being upgraded with the higher level gems whenever they drop

[boreal quartz]

I am looking for wands but I don't know anything about transmuting/augmenting/regaling arcane weapons

[boreal quartz]

uhhhhhh the only unique I have is lifesprig wand

[azure lava]

It's using transmutation/augmentation/regal orbs on arcane gear. (wands/foci/staves)

[boreal quartz]

Yep following the tree I went from start to the top at arcane blossom

[azure lava]

Can you screenshot that wand?

[clever geode]

lifespring dont give much dmg

only +skill

[azure lava]

Yeah that's dogshit

[clever geode]

only good for curse

[azure lava]

Almost anything would be way better and would give you so much more damage

[boreal quartz]

OOF

And this is where my passive tree is at rn

nothing to the left yet

[azure lava]

That has so many points dedicated to non-damage

Wtf leveling build are you following

I mean, I know you linked it but wtf

[boreal quartz]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/spark-archmage-stormweaver-leveling-guide#skills-header it's from crouching_tuna

Maybe I just followed the wrong passive allocation 😔

[bold roost]

Your literal first three nodes could be damage instead of int

[boreal quartz]

welp

[bold roost]

First four, actually, you don’t need that tiny ES thing

Why have you pathed way out there for chronomancy

[boreal quartz]

idk someone else told me to follow this guide for leveling

someone here

[vague hollow]

can you not swap out jewels with weapon sets?

i'm unable to re-allocate jewel slots with my weapon set 1

[vague hollow]

after respeccing weapon set 2 (without 2 of the jewel slots)

i'm so confused T.T

[boreal quartz]

It's from the guide's website

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/tree/8h1av0bk/4

From the same build

[azure lava]

You cannot assign jewel slots with weapon set points

[boreal quartz]

I was just showing where my current build was at

[vague hollow]

ah..

fug

[azure lava]

Are you using arcane tempest? That's the only reason I could possibly imagine all those mana nodes being taken

[boreal quartz]

yes the build uses arcane tempest later

or not arcane

[azure lava]

When does it become available?

[boreal quartz]

but mana tempest

in act 3 ig

[azure lava]

Mana tempest, sorry

[boreal quartz]

available at level 31

I'm lvl 22 rn

[azure lava]

Maybe the tree is fine if you have an actual weapon instead of life sprig

Can you screenshot your focus?

[boreal quartz]

where's the focus

[azure lava]

Offhand

[boreal quartz]

Sorry not familiar with terminology

ok

[bold roost]

You’re almost certainly not going to need all that mana help yet

[vague hollow]

@azure lava how do i reassign the jewel slot tho

i'm unable to resassign it with either weapon set 1 or 2

[azure lava]

Remove jewel then refund the point

[bold roost]

You can respec for pretty cheap when you start encountering mana problems down the line

[azure lava]

You cannot assign it to weapon set one or two

[boreal quartz]

It's not too much but someone here recommended I buy one from a vendor that at least had resistances so

[azure lava]

It can only be allocated with main points

[azure lava]

Good lord. It's not your tree. You're basically not using weapons

[vague hollow]

how do i get back to allocating main points instead of wep set 1/2?

[boreal quartz]

😔

[azure lava]

Please check the vendors. Now

Go to zarka

[bold roost]

Hey Donha it’s okay lolol

[boreal quartz]

sorry still learning the game

[bold roost]

You can just muddle through, that’s ok

[vague hollow]

my god this weapon set shit is so unintuitive

[bold roost]

But yeah go grab a real wand, just don’t get too torn up about not being optimal along the way

[azure lava]

Hover over the i in the upper right of the passive tree

[boreal quartz]

What should I be realistically looking for

at zarka rn

[bold roost]

And try focusing on damaging passives while early leveling

[azure lava]

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with what you're doing. The guide you're following is not very good for new players who have never played before.

I'd also give #1328202289755983932 a read to help with gearing

[bold roost]

A bonus to elemental damage for whatever you damage with most would be nice, along with spell damage, boosts to level, and cast speed

[bold roost]

That’s a nice write up, thanks for helping people 🙏

[boreal quartz]

The best thing I have rn is 47% increased spell damage + gain 8 life per enemy killed

That's the highest spell damage but 0 elemental bonus

[azure lava]

In the entire shop?

[bold roost]

You can check the damage your spells are doing in the skill menu

[azure lava]

And are you including staves?

[boreal quartz]

I'll check staves too

[azure lava]

And even check act 1 with una as well

[boreal quartz]

they just have % critical chance

That's about it I'll go to Una now

[azure lava]

You can also use an augment orb on your focus to give it another mod

[boreal quartz]

the best thing at Una rn is a focus with +1 level to all spell skills and a wand with 25% spell damage, 21 max mana, 14% cast speed

idk if that's worth over a 47% increased spell damage wand

[boreal quartz]

That's probably not worth over this tho right

[azure lava]

The +1 is wayyy better, yeah

[boreal quartz]

gotcha

[azure lava]

Also, in general, any magic (blue) items you're wearing, make sure they all have two mods by throwing augment orbs on them

It's basically free stats

[boreal quartz]

duly noted

[azure lava]

And if you have white items equipped, transmute + augment

[bold roost]

The game certainly expects you to be on the lookout for and upgrading gear frequently

[vital verge]

how do i change my hideout into a different hideout?

[clever geode]

talk to the girl

[final geyser]

Clicking on the hideout button in the world map while in the hideout seemed to work as well, at least for the Guild Hideout.

[clever geode]

also

this should be in #2┃after-acts-help

[final geyser]

Probably, yeah, unless having an MTX hideout causes the system to unlock earlier.

[stiff geyser]

is there a known issue with the passive tree bugging out and increasing the wrong stats? I have no idea what happened post-patch, but all my INT went to STR, and even attempting to respec those nodes it increases/decreases the wrong stat. https://streamable.com/1wm9hy <- Ex: Respecced an INT node to DEX, but it increased INT and STR

[boreal quartz]

Thank you so much it's not a huge boost but now I can actually kill them down a hallway with full setup than having to kite forever

[azure lava]

This is the second time iver heard of this. Check your character panel, it should be correct there

[stiff geyser]

sorry, what is the character panel?

ahh I see what you mean

[stiff geyser]

Thanks! Guess its just a visual bug

[azure lava]

Yep, purely with the passive tree UI

[sacred jacinth]

are monster spawned from the breach doing chaos dmg ?

[azure lava]

The chayula ones definitely do. Also #2┃after-acts-help

[warped copper]

hey which one is the main quest

[plush mantle]

Ascent to Power is how you get your ascendancy class and points, Trail of Corruption is how you get out of the Act; they're both important

[scarlet falcon]

how does heavy frost (passive) with hypothermia curse. is it if the resistance is still above 0 when frozen it ignores it? or does it ignore it then lower it because of hypothermia?

[plush mantle]

Curse applies first

[slow copper]

is any way of making loading screens faster?

[undone sleet]

Use an SSD

[vague hollow]

how much does 20% quality add to a body armour?

is it just 20% increased base stats, additive with other % increased?

[azure lava]

20% more defenses

[vague hollow]

oh, more?

[azure lava]

It's not additive in poe2

[vague hollow]

so straight up 1.2x

same with weapons?

[azure lava]

I'm pretty sure

I think so. But idk how it stacks with runes

It's definitely multiplicative with the base stats before runes

[vague hollow]

i see

[lament stone]

runes are local increased

same as explicits

[distant cedar]

Would this be worth anything?

[topaz junco]

We don’t do price checks

[distant cedar]

Sorry, just wanted to know

[lost smelt]

you may check yourself by searching up similar items on trade

[boreal quartz]

is this better than a 48% spell damage wand

and is innsmouth any good for a sparks stormweaver leveling build

[sudden cairn]

hey! idk where to ask but can someone help me get ascendancy points pls

[slate belfry]

is it possible to refund all skill points with one click, rather than removing one by one?

[trim turret]

No, that wand is 30% and if you're doing lightning damage the increased lightning and increased spell would provide the same amount of damage. And innsmouth has a pretty large drawback. Uniques aren't worth using just because they're unique.

[harsh bluff]

are low ingenuities worth getting?

[restive slate]

is it just me or are the arudra slaves reaaalallly stupid

they make literally no sense

[trim turret]

Only if they're going to improve your rings enough that you still benefit despite getting nothing from the belt.

[restive slate]

it seems like they were made as a cool idea of a horde of humans pulling a caravan, but it really doesnt make sense...

[trim turret]

#2┃general

If you want to chat about random stuff.

[restive slate]

k

[distant cedar]

Would concentrated effect be recommended on ice strike?

[trim turret]

Probably not. I cant be sure but I think decreasing the AOE decreases your reach with the attack, and with melee you still want as much distance as you can get.

[turbid skiff]

a place where a group of folks sit discussing random nonsense in front of a group of people

[stiff geyser]

So typical day at the office

[harsh pulsar]

Question for someone just starting to do endgame Simulacrum. If you die can you respawn?

[vital bridge]

Does this "Increased Lightning Damage" increases the damage from all of my attacks, or just the lightning damage that comes "from the ring"? (in this case none)

[slate belfry]

what are non-instant spells?

[foggy birch]

skills that require

castin time_

[molten sorrel]

Hey, sorry for the ping but Im kind of looking for a question be answered. is there a possibility that you could help me with this?

[trim turret]

You can just post your question in the channel and someone would answer.

[molten sorrel]

well I guess I could do that. I did that and noone answered

[trim turret]

What's your question?

[molten sorrel]

I saw some reviews on steam talking about "cpu deadlocks" and "devs addressing an issue" what are these users talking about and has this issue been fixed by any chance? I was looking forward to buying poe2 but now Im kind of scared that my hardware will be damaged or my PC will crash for reasons that havent been addressed yet.

[main vale]

for me, my consistent crashing issues were solved by switching to the Vulkan renderer. just a random anecdote

[trim turret]

There was a Windows 11 update that caused some PC's to lock up. The game is also somewhat CPU intensive right now. A potential fix for the lockup was rolled out this week. I doubt anything would actually damage your hardware. Steam forums are a cesspool and you should take them with a grain of salt.

[indigo light]

The current patch (idk if it's released yet, 11c or whatever) apparently was supposed to fix the crashes but I just rolled back my windows update install since that's what was causing it. Working fine since then

[craggy gyro]

The third ascension doing the trials what intense. Beat the scorpion boss thing with 49 life left 😂😂

[molten sorrel]

Im still using windows 10 until it dies out so I think Im save on that. the intensivity I should be able to check whenever Im starting/playing the game so that should be possible

[sick vine]

.

[trim turret]

Does your rig meet the system requirements?

[craggy gyro]

Don’t Main as a titan. It’s grueling self harm😂😂

[trim turret]

I'm having a great time with my titan. But it's still early.

[molten sorrel]

I should be very save my current setup

RTX 4060 and a Ryzen 9 7900

[trim turret]

I wouldn't worry too much then. POE2 is still in early access and has a long way to go. If you're good with that you'll have a good time.

Assuming you like complex ARPG's.

[indigo light]

This game is not complex lmao, just look up a meta build and have a good time. The only frustrating part is endgame currently being a dead end for a lot of people

[molten sorrel]

Well I just generally need a new game. Ive been totaling up atleast 50h of just scrolling through the bazaar trying to find something

[craggy gyro]

Just wait till you start overstunning and losing your primes then it’ll drive you crazy lol

[molten sorrel]

I dont know, looking for an answer while starting out a game isnt really the go to, or am I wrong?

[trim turret]

That doesn't affect my build and I'm not using boneshatter.

[trim turret]

It's complex for people unfamiliar with ARPG's.

[craggy gyro]

Then you’re smart unlike me 😂😂😂

[trim turret]

And compared to tricycle rides like D4.

[molten sorrel]

I assume the only complex is the skill-tree system, or are there things Im missing?

[trim turret]

There's a lot more to it than that.

Passive tree is just one part of several parts with a lot of options that need to work together to make an effective build..

[indigo light]

Nah, just knowing what stats your class needs and looking up a meta build is all you need. And you can get all your info from google easily

[craggy gyro]

There’s like a weird stat sweet spot to maintain the boneshatter build. It’s making me want to move to stampede build

[molten sorrel]

Thats boring, sorry. Im not willing to pay 30 bux just to find my answers on google ^^

[trim turret]

People don't always want to look up build guides or play the meta.

[molten sorrel]

But thank you for the recommendation. Ill probably use it once or twice.

[indigo light]

GL making progress then, especially anywhere in Cruel

[trim turret]

But yeah. Gear, passives, skills, all classes can use all equipment and skills, there's a lot of ways to build.

[molten sorrel]

How many classes are there exactly

if an estimation would need to be made

[trim turret]

Right now, six classes, two subclasses each. Eventually 12 classes and 3 subclasses each.

[molten sorrel]

I would say that doesnt sound too bad

[trim turret]

Its not that simple.

Its not like you have one way to play each and you're done.

[molten sorrel]

Well let me rephrase, its not overkill. Ofc theres probably lots more to it but its not like 25+ classes or so

[trim turret]

Strong builds include, for instance, using spells on a ranger subclass, and the ranger is thematically the bow user instead of a spellcaster.

But because the ranger has the deadeye subclass, which benefits projectiles, and some spells use projectiles, the deadeye can be useful on things besides bow skills.

[molten sorrel]

Earn Steam Points for this purchase 2,832. Ouch

[molten sorrel]

Thats quite some

well I will probably very much be here for some time

If this game is grindy and fun enough

[trim turret]

Have you played an ARPG before?

Not too much grinding needing to be done in the campaign.

Endgame is a different story.

[molten sorrel]

Im not sure how much comparable they are but Ive tried destiny and warframe before

[sinful glacier]

Looks at my 600 hours playtime while still working at my build whaaaaat?

[sinful glacier]

Ok imagine Destiny Campaign with Warframe grinding

boom you have PoE2

🤣

[molten sorrel]

Oh no

Well Warframe was not fitting since It dropped me into a world full of things and thats about it

[trim turret]

With way more build variety than Destiny's skill twigs.

[sinful glacier]

Campaign took me (first time player too btw) about 40 hours to finish on my first Character

endgame?`still not even close to done

[molten sorrel]

I had not real starting point really, atleast it didnt feel that way. It felt too easy to understand/I felt like I was just following a tutorial since they were telling what to do

[trim turret]

Well you're gonna get dropped into a bunch of stuff here too. Best skill a POE player can have is to read things.

[mental ferry]

anyone need any help?

[sinful glacier]

READ?!

Whats that

can I eat that?

[molten sorrel]

No patrick, mayonaise isnt an instrument.

[sonic brook]

Hello guys,
I've started playing POE2 recently and I can't seem to comprehend how to do damage in this game. I first started with a witch with summons, however when I got to ascendancies I realized none of the two fit what I wanted to play (particularly I was very surprised by the absence of a summon related one. As such I quit this character and started a sorceress, I started with cold and pivoted to fire because it seemed cool, however reaching act two It was extremely hard for me to kill bosses and once again, when reaching ascendancy there was no fire suff in sight, I then decided to pivot to lightning and frost (since my fire was really bad anyway) and now I litteraly can't do anything, my clear is ok-ish but definitely not great, and killing bosses takes so long I run out of healing potions (doesn't hept that I'm not really good so if a fight lasts for an eternity I'm 100%). So here I am, no Idea what to do, basically quit the game because my Xth attempt at trying to do somthing that works failed. My main question is how are you supposed to do damage to bosses ? Second question is how are you supposed to play this game because I can't seem to figure it out.

wall of text moment

[sinful glacier]

https://tenor.com/bSdk0.gif

[molten sorrel]

tl:dr

[sonic brook]

I'm bad

[sinful glacier]

We all are whats your point

[sonic brook]

I do'nt understand how to do stuff in thsi game

[molten sorrel]

oh wait I thought you were joking. Sorry

[trim turret]

I need more information about your build to provide advice.

[sinful glacier]

Nobody does whats your Point

[trim turret]

Changing damage types isn't going to magically make you stronger. The cardinal rule of POE is, it depends how you build around it.

[molten sorrel]

Actually while im here

[trim turret]

Ascendancies aren't meant to be "this is for fire spells." They're meant to be upgrades that can be applied to many different builds and scenarios.

[sonic brook]

yeah but well...
I'm in act 2 and idk what I can really do build wise

[molten sorrel]

Whats one important thing I should remember or take on my way while playing poe2?

[sinful glacier]

did you bother to look up Level Guides for your class? (that are actually good*)

[trim turret]

Well again, I need more info to give advice. Maybe show some of your gear, your passive tree, tell me what skills you're using to do damage?

[trim turret]

Resists and life are the two most important stats to get on your armor and don't assume items are better just because they're higher rarity.

[molten sorrel]

That so far Ive learned from other rpg games actually. base stats or stats one is looking for is usually the way to go

[sonic brook]

well, that might be the issue but I don't really want to follow a step by step guide because then I feel like I'm not really playing
and 20 min or so videos about a guide have so much more stuff I do'nt have acess to that I don't relaly know what to make of it

[sinful glacier]

Base stats here is actually not as important as you think

it still playes a roll but a VERY Minor

[molten sorrel]

Well they snowball in the end, could I be wrong?

[sinful glacier]

as a first timer you should atleast look up informations- the game has way to much to offer for you to fist fight your way through especially because the content EXPECTS you to know your shit

[sonic brook]

well rn everything is fucked
how can i share it efficiently ? just a screenshot ?

[sinful glacier]

You are. Sub stats are far more important in 99,9% of the times then base

[trim turret]

Do you mean bass stats on an item or base attributes on the character?

[sinful glacier]

Biggest example of said occasion

Caged God is a BEAST of a staff

[trim turret]

A good item base can be very important, especially on weapons.

[sonic brook]

Well I've seen some stuff i'm not going in blind

[sinful glacier]

the item base not the base stats. that I agree on

[trim turret]

But it frequently is more of a later game thing.

[molten sorrel]

Maybe I was just thinking too basic since Ive only been playing basic RPG-esk games

[sinful glacier]

Ironically the only build that cares about base type that is meta is LA Deadeye due to Dual String Bow and Primed Quiver xd

[trim turret]

What are your primary damage dealing skills right now?

[sinful glacier]

the others are like "ok good base item matters" but sub stats are the 100% make it or break it

[molten sorrel]

Well theres still 70GB to go to so I got time

Sub stats are the ones above corrupted, correct?

[sinful glacier]

wanna see some gameplay while you wait? I am rn doing endgame farming anyways

[sinful glacier]

yes

[sonic brook]

hmm Arc for mobs and for bosses nothing really
I have Frost bomb, that's some damage but It doesn't feel right for bosses

[molten sorrel]

Ive seen elon musk flexxing his account that was funny

was on charlies channel

[sinful glacier]

Oh god that was a mess to say the least

[molten sorrel]

I wanna get your opinion on it, where do I go?

[trim turret]

Let's not clog the channel with chitchat especially when I'm trying to help someone please.

[sinful glacier]

check dms

[molten sorrel]

Ill watch some gameplay

[trim turret]

And what supports do you have on arc?

[sonic brook]

chain and arcane tempo

[trim turret]

Chain is a 50% less damage multiplier.

[sonic brook]

I mean my wepon is also atrocious I think but I litteraly havent found better and I checked shops every level

[trim turret]

Have you tried picking up a couple bases and crafting on them?

[sonic brook]

not really, I'm not sure what's worth doing

I'm making sure magic items have 2 modifiers min

[trim turret]

Transmutation and augmentation orbs are some of the most readily available currencies in the game, dont be afraid to use them. And you should be getting plenty from disenchanting.

[trim turret]

That's good.
