[fringe obsidian]

because it's very easy/obvious to scale

[spare plank]

is the witch good for start?

[fringe obsidian]

I started witch and enjoyed it, but man your mileage may vary. you just have to test stuff out and see what you like

[hard cypress]

Side quest in Ogham Village in act 1

[spark grove]

Witch is easily the most solo friendly class, because you're not solo. your minions act as tanks or can even be your main source of dps

[fringe obsidian]

i WILL say the merc is a blast to play as. Crossbows feel great

[hard cypress]

What stats do you look for in gear for witch ? I have the tree spec-ed for minion dmg but.. it was kinda rough with Jamanra

[spark grove]

oh yeah merc is fun. i watch my friend play it and he just deletes an entire area of the map. the explosions are so bright we sometimes die to vestigal effects

[hard cypress]

Granted I was using arsonist against Jamanra but it was... a long fight lol

[fringe obsidian]

Takes a while for minions to pop off, but basically you just go for minion levels and then tankyness for yourself

[azure lava]

I had to give up on my grenade chrono because the explosions were just too much

[spark grove]

for me the primary 2 stats i look for is #to minin levels and spirit. after those 2 i look for energy shield, spell damage and elemental resists

[fringe obsidian]

what is your build with minons and spell damage? that's interesting

[hard cypress]

Ya I have the hellhound and four arsonists. A +1 minion skills on scepter.

The wand.. is being kinda useless I guess

[spark grove]

i use detonate dead behind my reavers for aoe clear

[fringe obsidian]

get a bunch of spirit, and use omen sceptres if you can. minion crit can be massive

[hard cypress]

I see, thanks

[fringe obsidian]

oh true

[spark grove]

i know a lot of people say secptre and shield is the way to go (i was people) for the block and mobility shield charge can give u. and they're 100% right. shield is goated for surviability cuz even while casting it has a chance to block

[hard cypress]

I didn't want to vibe with a shield and block, it was kinda (please don't yell at me) immersion breaking for the witch lol

[fringe obsidian]

OH! right. when leveling, take all the minion respawn nodes and then run them with "last gasp" or maybe it's called "last breath". it'll effectively make your minions immortal until you get some tankiness on them.

[fringe obsidian]

odd choice, shields are super good on infernalist because you can raise your maxe fire res

[spark grove]

thats completely valid. in that case i would try to aim for a rattling sceptre for 2 free warriors or omen like SWNMN suggested to buff the ones you do have, as for wand id say you're best bet would be something like detonoate dead, or a chaos curse spell

[hard cypress]

I was doing ok till Jamara who was a slow slog. I didn't mind because its a fun fight, I guess he also has a ton of fire resistance

[spark grove]

you'll have to duel spec into chaos magic to really make it work

[hard cypress]

I just felt bad after destorying him as sorcerer with ice and fireball lol

[fringe obsidian]

lol. consider what I said about the respawn time nodes, and then running last breath support

[hard cypress]

yep yep will do

[fringe obsidian]

it's hilarious. I still use it for my clerics but when leveling it just means permanent minions,

since the spawn time ends up being under 5 seconds

and last breath makes them last 4 seconds past death

[spark grove]

you actually just reminded me i stopped using my fire build but i forgot to take off immolate from my warriors, they're still burning lol

[fringe obsidian]

haha.

I ditched arsonists as soon as I got reavers

just the wickedest little minions

[spark grove]

i really wanted to like warrior but i guess im just too spoiled from diablos barbarian, i miss being able to just face tank everything and survive off life steal and huge hp pools

[tender heath]

is there a hotkey for the quests window?

[azure lava]

U

And then open the quest panel on the right

[fringe obsidian]

Haven't tried warrior yet. Doing a siege cascade witchhunter right now. may try warrior eventually, but who knows

[tender heath]

isnt there like a hotkey which leads directly to the quests tab instead of world map?

[azure lava]

They're the same tab

[spark grove]

im putting off playing anouther class until release, our current characters will be going into a "early access" league so i dont wanna invest too much time inot leveling multiple characters

[azure lava]

You can't view the quest panel without also viewing the map

[tender heath]

oh this blows

they need to optimize that

[fringe obsidian]

IDK I'm probably going to roll a druid when it drops

[azure lava]

Poe1 was the same way, I doubt it'll change

[fringe obsidian]

BEAR MAN

[spark grove]

you and me both brother

[azure lava]

Or are you talking about the quest tracker on the right side?

[tender heath]

i'd love a quests hotkey assigned to J

[spark grove]

so change it under inputs

[azure lava]

There should be an option to show quests on the right side. Check your options menu

[tender heath]

wait which one is that

[tender heath]

alr ty

crazy how having even the smallest amount of elemental dmg bonus gives you all the benifits of that element on all your abilities

if i use this glove with fire build my fireballs would probably freeze enemies too

[fringe obsidian]

eh that's only for attacks though

fireball is a spell. it won't get cold damage from this

[tender heath]

oh i see

[fringe obsidian]

yeah the game draws a SUPER thick line between attacks and spells lol

[tender heath]

well its working on my lightning arrows which is cool

the chain lightning is icy

[fringe obsidian]

lightning arrow is an attack lol

[tender heath]

i know

[hard cypress]

You can always check if the dpd is affected if you equip / unequip it with the skills menu open

[tender heath]

its funny how the electricity from my lightning arrows applies freeze just as well as an ice spells despite only doing like 1 cold damage

[hard cypress]

The dps numbers on the skills will change if so

[fringe obsidian]

yeah earlier on in the game enemies don't have a ton of hp/resist, so you can really expirement with little things like that

[tender heath]

does the damage number matter when it comes to status ailment application?

[fringe obsidian]

yyyyyyyyyes

[tender heath]

i see

[fringe obsidian]

yeah the more damage you do of an element, the faster you'll build up that ailment

AND when the ailment happens the magnitude of the ailment is based on the damage of the hit that applied it

I think.

[tender heath]

man lightning arrows are insanely strong

i love the ricochet mechanic it feels amazing

[fringe obsidian]

they're a path of exile staple

[hard cypress]

ooooh yee

[fringe obsidian]

lightning arrow has been in poe 1 forever not surprised it's still kicking ass

[cerulean zephyr]

the damage you deal affects:

• chance and magnitude for shock and ignite
• magnitude for chill, bleed and poison
• amount of buildup for freeze and electrocute

[fringe obsidian]

Thanks for that. I could not remember the specifics

[azure lava]

Also the buildup for pin and heavy stun

[foggy birch]

@cerulean zephyryo viper is modifiers steals from rares the same as in poe 1

[cerulean zephyr]

in what respect?

[foggy birch]

in terms of the bonuses it gives

[tender heath]

Thank you very much wow I didn't know actual Grinding gear employees are in this unofficial server

[cerulean zephyr]

I'm not sure I understand the question sorry, monster mods have a lot of differences in PoE2 compared to PoE1 so naturally stealing them will grant different benefits. though there is a lot of overlap too

[worldly sequoia]

Anyone need help?

[foggy birch]

so the modifiers rare monsters have are the same as in poe 1 but yall added some extra ones in poe 2

or was the syystem complete overhauled

[cerulean zephyr]

there are a lot of similar modifiers, though many of them have partial but not complete overlap in stats and/or significant balance changes. there are also some modifiers in each game that don't really have an equivalent in the other

[azure lava]

If you steal proximal tangibility and run away are you immune to everything?

[tender heath]

can we buy support gems anywhere?

[azure lava]

Pathofexile.com/trade2

[haughty niche]

stuck hoping for uncut support gem unless you count trade site ^

[azure lava]

Otherwise no. No gem vendors in poe2

[haughty niche]

accounts are also trade restricted until they have had at least 1 lvl 25 character

[tender heath]

i have one uncut support gem

but

i dont know how to get the ones my build requires

it wants ''martial tempo''

and ''innervate''

[haughty niche]

in the uncut menu, look at bottom

[azure lava]

You can search all the support gems from any uncut support gem

[hard cypress]

You can uncheck "Restricted"

Or however it works on pc

[haughty niche]

You also might need to turn off a setting in the options that prevents you from cutting a gem you cannot use

[tender heath]

Oh holy moly this is much better

the whole restriction thingy shouldnt exist

[azure lava]

I agree wholeheartedly

[hard cypress]

This is like when the blinds are taking away from the horse and you suddenly see so many options

[haughty niche]

Its actually quite useful for getting new players to get going without the immediate stunlock of seeing a couple hundred options

like in poe1 its kind of fucked up tbh

[hard cypress]

Honestly I like how its done in console. There are recommendations on each skill and three tabs for str, dex, int gems.

[azure lava]

I think GGG made classes/skills feel so much more shoehorned than they actually are through the gem cutting UI

[hard cypress]

So nothing is exactly hidden but you aren't overwhelemed

[haughty niche]

I do like the recommended, but i do find it kind of weird that each class always starts in its own section for whatever reason

[hard cypress]

And why is martial / arcane tempo never recommended ? its so simple but good

[azure lava]

The spirit gem UI is the worst offender, imo. They go as far to actually label the tabs by class name

[haughty niche]

yeah

I honestly feel like over 80% of the time im picking stuff that isn't in my own class, making the sections kind of arbitrary and obsolete

[azure lava]

Because they are

If I stuck to the default tabs, I wouldn't have discovered lightning rod + orb of storms on my first sorceress

[hard cypress]

As a new player, I'd rather see 5 choices first when I open the menu

[haughty niche]

I do like the recommended gems to start, but I think after lvl 10 or 20 they could absolutely have a UI element just be like "Ok feel free to check out all these other options!"

[hard cypress]

After like gem 5. just show all everytime. Or do it like console, much cleaner

[haughty niche]

The later gems also need to have lower lvl reqs. #1 thing stopping me from making any new characters is having all the fun shit locked to like lvl 50+

[hard cypress]

I love the martial tempo, jsut makes everything feel nicer

[azure lava]

I just wish they didn't default you to the same tab whenever you cut a gem. The first time you cut a gem, I wish it made you click a menu first, then have it remember the last menu you were in

That way when you first cut a gem you aren't forced to look at "Your class' gems" and then if you're doing a "weird" build, it wouldn't make you click an extra time to find the gems you're after

[hard cypress]

Yeeee. It also immediately narrows your thinking, "You can only use skills from your class"

[azure lava]

Yeah. I hear people say stuff like "monk skills" so much more in poe2 than in poe1

[hard cypress]

They really should do two sections "Class skills", "Other possible skills" all in the same page

Just to get show the possibilities you have

[silver zealot]

wait. can you use skills that do not belong to your class?

[hard cypress]

lol

[fringe obsidian]

lol yes

[hard cypress]

THERE IT IS

[fringe obsidian]

any class can use any skill

[silver zealot]

lol

[fringe obsidian]

skills are only tied to certain weapons if they're tied to anything

[azure lava]

There is no such thing as "your class's skills"

[hard cypress]

Think of skills as weapon dependent, nothing to do with class

[silver zealot]

damn thats sick

[hard cypress]

And weapons can be used by anyone if you meet the stats

[azure lava]

Case in point. Change your UI, GGG

[haughty niche]

The ONLY thing that you lock in when picking a class is your starting location on the passive tree and the Ascendency (subclass) choices you get to access

[fringe obsidian]

and some starting nodes

[hard cypress]

Its honestly one of the biggest thing in POE 2 from my perspective. And they actively hide it from new players

[haughty niche]

shh

[fringe obsidian]

:)

[azure lava]

Technically your starting attributes also vary by like 5-10 based on your class as well. But it's truly negligible

[silver zealot]

I guess i wont go crazy with other builds, but sounds so fun

[azure lava]

Nah, go nuts. I made the campaign so easy by combining a lightning spell with a bow skill

[fringe obsidian]

oh you'll end up doing weird shit

everyone ends up doing weird shit

[silver zealot]

XDD

[hard cypress]

Best part of poe 2 is "Wonder what happens if I mix A with B"

Sometimes its utterly terrible, sometimes its pure genius

[haughty niche]

Ive seen some cool hipster builds like Chronomancer (sorc) Hammer of the Gods, Warrior Minions, Infernalist "anything" just cause they are tanky, etc

[fringe obsidian]

yeah and in this one you can add weapon set points into the mix

I think once they dial in the damage to force more skill comboing I think the weapon swap mechanics are going to become premium

and then witchhunter will finally rise ascendant

[hard cypress]

Get a quarterstaff in your secondary slot, put a bell down and shoot it with a crossbow because why not

[azure lava]

The extra weapon set points are already nuts for marks and hexes

[fringe obsidian]

beause you need a lot of attributes to use high level staff and crossbow skills 😦

have to hit all 3 attributes real good for that

[hard cypress]

Maybe shoot it with a bow then lol

[fringe obsidian]

now you're cooking

[hard cypress]

Ranger and Monk have strong overlap with stats right

[azure lava]

Not sure what you mean

Bow skills require pure dex and quarterstaff skills need int and dex, if that's what you mean

[hard cypress]

ye ye

[azure lava]

Smh, calling them ranger and monk skills...

[hard cypress]

lol

[fringe obsidian]

staff skills are typically are dex/int. crossbow skills are typically strength/dex, so to do a build that uses both in tandem would be a little tough

but doing staff/bow would be easier

Hell even just doing weapon swaps between the SAME type is strong as I've been learning

[azure lava]

Barrage + snipe + bell.

(her catchphrase is "Ding Dong, Darling", for those not in the professional makeup artist world)

[fringe obsidian]

I'm debating on a pure totems build that weapon swapped between a mace and a crossbow lol

but unfortunately ballista and smashy totems share totem limits 😦

really what we need is all the weapons to be released asap

gotta get the dagger so we can finally do a knife/staff chaos monk

as god intended

[haughty niche]

I am waiting for Spell Totem to be released in poe2. Then il start messing with totems.

[hard cypress]

I am so happy I started beta as a new player.
If I was new and they offered be like 12 new characters, 500 skills.. oof

[fringe obsidian]

they're very very different in poe 2 so far

not bad or anything

just very different

[haughty niche]

ye i dont think i like the difference personally, but its not immediately bad

[fringe obsidian]

Yeah I do wish there was a totem support like in Poe 1

[haughty niche]

but thats the fun part, its why soo many people got excited when they announced the poe1 event would have 19 completely different ascendencies instead of the usual 19.

[cerulean zephyr]

that's on the cards to do at some point (well, as a meta gem rather than a support)

[hard cypress]

I get its fun. Like I am genuinely looking forward to more options 🙂
But to start as a first timer, the choices we now have is wide enough but not very overwhleming

Btw

Why ppl say "cast on thingy comet" is dead

What exactly did they nerf ?

[fringe obsidian]

oh really! that's cool. Probably you can't say, but how will that work since the ballista totems have their own crossbows? will they fire the skills using their own crossbow still?

[haughty niche]

They nerfed the rate at which you gained energy for the cast on freeze

so the comets triggered like 5-10x less frequently

[hard cypress]

Ah, so its less spammy

I see

[haughty niche]

You can still make it work pretty sure, with different setups. But the normal "freeze thing, comet falls down" gameplay got neutered hard

[cerulean zephyr]

I can't really speculate on that sorry

[fringe obsidian]

ah beans

[brittle shadow]

i just started poe2 and im on the ice witch boss thing it feels like she throwing a steam roller at my face and i cant keep up

[hard cypress]

Circle strafing kinda helps against the boss. But does feel like an early gear check

[azure lava]

The one in clearfell? She's optional. So you can come back later if you like

[brittle shadow]

thx god

[hard cypress]

Maybe just clear the area and equip what you get, then try again

[brittle shadow]

i fully explored the area and wanted to do her before the other boss under ground

[nocturne marsh]

Played Monk to tier 10s but quit because at the time I was getting like 1 waystone every few maps and I got frustrated, im not sure I want to go back to it even if loot was buffed. I got my Explosive shot deadeye to t10s, the single button press clear is less fun as the invoker, so not really vibing with it anymore. Looking for a new class to try, I like involved playstyles that require more than a button or occasionally two buttons, and I like quick gameplay. Any recommendations?

I heard that Titan was more involved because of the slower attack speed, meaning timing needs to be more deliberate

[brisk sundial]

is there any clear website/tool/resource that shows what kind of stats you want on what kind of item?

weird example but for pokemon online there is a resource that shows exactly what stats you want on a bulbasaur

[haughty niche]

The game isn't that simple, different builds will want diffferent stats even if they use the same weapon type

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides

But theres tons of places for build guides

[brisk sundial]

its really hard to grasp as a new player because every time i get an item and it has mutliple t7 or t9s or whatever

i would go like oh 78% lightning damage on this chestpiece and it also has reasonable resistances and then it goes for absolutely nothing

[haughty niche]

Yeah determining what is good or worth anything comes with experience. Best way to get experience is to try a bunch of builds out over time

[brisk sundial]

okay, yeah ive only really tried minion witch kinda

but even that im not sure what im really looking for haha except minion skill+ and general spirit%

[haughty niche]

Also poe1 did the affix tier thing a bit better.
T1 was ALWAYS the highest roll (so its swapped compared to poe2) so you knew if an item rolled a bunch of T1s or T2s that it had potential if the stats themselves worked well together.

Kinda tough to tell if you are close to the highest rolls or not in poe2

[brisk sundial]

so lets say an items is like pretty good for the most part

but it rolled a t1 on a resistance

you can change that one number still through crafting?

[haughty niche]

Not realistically

[hard cypress]

Its all varying levels of slot machines

[brisk sundial]

the crafting in this game boggles the mind still

haha

[haughty niche]

Technically yes, theres insanely expensive "omens" that let you modify the item in a stricter way, such as having a chaos orb guaranteed remove the lowest tier affix

[brisk sundial]

omens are the things you get from rituals right?

[haughty niche]

But for general crafting / non-minmax levels of expense, its a complete gamble with the orbs / methods we have available to us

[brisk sundial]

the things that say if this is in your invy then this will happen the next time it triggers

[haughty niche]

And yes pretty sure omens are from rituals

[brisk sundial]

okay well thats good to know haha

[haughty niche]

So in your example, item with 2-3 good modifiers, and a low resist roll, the only cheap option you have would be to use a chaos orb and hope it removes the low roll and adds something useful

[brisk sundial]

right

its really hard coming from old school runescape to this in terms of crafting

that game is pretty linear in terms of gear progression

[haughty niche]

That game is quite different, being an mmo

[brisk sundial]

yeah ofc

[tender heath]

what should i do with runes?

[haughty niche]

You can put them in gear with sockets

[tender heath]

do i save them for later?

[haughty niche]

Sure

[brisk sundial]

you can use jewelers sockets to put sockets in armor

[tender heath]

or waste them willy nilly

[brisk sundial]

then use those to buff armor basicly

[haughty niche]

Most of the runes are fairly common

The "soul core" type of runes are less common.

[tender heath]

Dang I might just start unlocking all the skills in the game

[vapid spoke]

Do it

Flex on dem

[wise granite]

just saw that reddit post about mapping. looks like ive been doing it wrong atp t5

when do you decide to alch a waystone or is it always augment then regal for lower tiers

[tender heath]

how did this happen?

a blue item with 4 substats? how?

as far as i know 2 is supposed to be the max

[final geyser]

It's not 4 stats, if you hold Alt you'll see that it's just 2.

[tender heath]

i held alt and its very much 4 stats

[final geyser]

No, it is 2. One prefix, one suffix.

One just happens to have 3 lines due to being a hybrid affix.

[tender heath]

so technically speaking if you get 4 hybrid affixes on a rare item you would seemingly have 12 stats?

[safe lance]

You cannot get 4 iirc but theoretically yes but only in detailed view. It will wrap them in normal view and show as simple stats

[trim turret]

Artificer's. Jeweler's add sockets to gems.

[tidal fable]

Should I worry about builds during or after campaign?

I’m still tryna fight the frickin wolf dude

[rugged tangle]

depends if you want to follow a build or not but there are leveling build guides for getting you through the campaign

[tidal fable]

I’m indifferent as long as I can beat the wolf guy 🙏

This is my first game like this ever lmao

Not used to it all

[rugged tangle]

ya its up to you, following a guide would probably make it easier but you dont have to follow one if you dont want 🤷

[tender heath]

you're forced to fill stat requirements in order to unlock essential DPS stuff so yes you'll be worrying about builds before you know it

[tidal fable]

Yeah I do that stuff

I level up what attributes I need to run the sets I want

[trim turret]

What's the issue, damage or defense? Having cold resist is very helpful in that fight. And what are you using to deal damage?

[tender heath]

what is this and why is it red?

sorry i meant orange im color blind

[weary osprey]

orange gear are uniques

[tender heath]

OH MY GOD

I got just the right one 😭

[weary osprey]

that's nice but yeah no need for caps

[tender heath]

Yup I edited it before you said that

sorry I got excited

[fallow gazelle]

hey im struggling for choice one.. lightning arrow poisonous concoction or ice shot?

[tender heath]

Personally I prefer lightning arrow

and judging by the current meta its also probably the strongest out of those 3

[tidal fable]

Probably defense

I’ve only done two attempts but losing evasion did not help a lot

[trim turret]

How did you lose evasion?

[tidal fable]

I traded a piece of body armour with a lot of evasion for insane amounts of cold resist

I think I have to just do more attempts and get used to patterns

I am a FPS player 😭 I have no played whatever format this is before

[trim turret]

Life and resists are the most important stats on Armour during the campaign.

[hard cypress]

Count geonor has a lot of audio cues for his attacks, if that helps.

Especially when there is fog and he runs through them reciting a poem

[tender heath]

are there any better charms than this one?

it cleanses CC

twice

[worldly berry]

alright, dumb question maybe. how do i find the source of the azakh kul poison? I lit the fires for the idol and killed the bog witch

[trim turret]

As with most things, it depends on your build. I like poison removal. You should also transmute and augment that, charm mods only have upsides.

[clever geode]

Think that is the poison right

[worldly berry]

excuse the HDR. Yeah, i killed her and her icon is still on in the map and the quest is stuck

i killed her twice now. i went back cuz i though the first time was a bug

[trim turret]

Bog witch is unrelated to the poison. Did you use the quest item she dropped?

[clever geode]

Cruel one is bugged

It dont show complete when u are done

[worldly berry]

damn 😦

ig you dont actually get any spirit for it either

[clever geode]

U do

How much spirit u got

[worldly berry]

100

[clever geode]

Yes there

100

[worldly berry]

ahh okay

[clever geode]

Without gear

[worldly berry]

so i just already did this

and the thing is still just bugged

so i went back and did what i already did

🙂

[clever geode]

Like i said the completion is bug
But just visual

[tender heath]

i see ty

[clever geode]

Freeze and stun charm are the most used

[trim turret]

Poison is in a side area near one of the first waypoints in the jungle.

[copper dragon]

The poison is from biper pits brother.

Viper den or whatever

[trim turret]

Yeah that.

[worldly berry]

🤦‍♂️

[barren dome]

Has anyone ever skipped an ascendancy and failed to get the points back?

I have a friend, I've run him thru all the trials and temples up to temple 10

But he's still missing 2

[regal glacier]

Why Elon musk quit?

[barren dome]

So I'm assuming he skipped an ascendancy run

[safe lance]

The 4th ascendancy requires 3 fragments from chaos, the 10 room chaos doesnt give points

you collect 3 fragments and fight trialmaster iirc

I did the sekehemas one

[barren dome]

We did that

[trim turret]

Not the channel for that.

[barren dome]

He's still missing two points

Should I just run him thru a sekemat 4 trial?

[safe lance]

oh ok, the way you said it I thought you just did 1x 10 room chaos trial

[barren dome]

My apologies

[safe lance]

sure, he doesnt need to be in the trial even, just needs to join before boss for sekhema

[barren dome]

We beat temple on 10, then beat it two more times to get all 3 fragments, then beat it again

He hasn't beaten a sekhemat 4 run tho

[safe lance]

The trialmaster boss specifically?

here, this might help https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Ascendancy_class

[tender heath]

is this buff permanently active or do i have to activate it somehow?

[safe lance]

always active but can be turned on and off. I think when you first socket it, the game automatically turns it on if you have the spirit for it.

[wary seal]

am I the only one that finds a lot of unique items kind of "useless"?

the only one I liked was a staff I found usefull for like maybe 5-10 levels

[safe lance]

Most uniques are underwhelming

[tender heath]

how do you turn it off?

[tender heath]

no it wasn't active, now it is

[safe lance]

I havent played on PC in a while but I think you can click in skills window. For console, there is a segment in the top where you turn off on skills.

[tender heath]

it doesnt activate automatically when you first equip it

you have to right click it

[safe lance]

ah ok, could also be a console thing then

[tender heath]

you can tell its active by that circle animation on the icon

... this channel is funny xD

i ask the question and then find out the answer myself and teach the people here lol

[barren dome]

When he teleports back to cruel act 3, his quest says he needs to beat the temple of chaos

But he doesn't have the green quest type inscribed uktimatum

I think that's the one they give you for free

[safe lance]

That quest can be ignored, it just stays there

[barren dome]

O ok lol good to know

[safe lance]

there is no quest barya or ultimatum for 3rd and 4th

[barren dome]

Yea, which is why I'm so confused lol

[safe lance]

Well sry, it auto turns on in console (if your char has the spirit to use it) and its also harder to turn on/off which is probably why they did it this way.

probably like how gems auto level in poe1 on console

[tender heath]

dw its cool

[safe lance]

did he maybe not click on the altar after trialmaster?

But the Ascent to power quest and travel to temple of chaos quest in cruel acts are duds and can be ignored.

[barren dome]

On the first temple of chaos 10 round, it didn't let him

Then when we got all the fragments and beat it, the points automatically showed up in his map

He didn't have to click the altar

[safe lance]

got it

So for my wife, she got first ascendancy and then I just took her through 4 floor sekhema boss and she has 8 points.

[barren dome]

Yea ima take him thru a sekhema

I rly appreciate the help

[safe lance]

it might be easier to make him sit it out and just join for boss. From what I understand he doesnt even have to be in boss room (was different in my wife's case because we cannot do that in couch coop)

[barren dome]

He's pretty high lvl now that I've carried him thru hundreds of t15 waystones, he's right behind me at lv 90

He can survive lol jus not too decent traversing thr traps 😂

[tender heath]

How do we change the stat given by attribute nodes?

i have no clue what to press

[limber beacon]

to activate it right click this

if you see the swirly thing around it its active

[tender heath]

thank you very much too bad i already figured this out myself

[tender heath]

@limber beacon

[limber beacon]

o F my bad

at least u figured it out

to change the stat

u go to the hooded dude

[safe lance]

if this is already saved, you have to refund to select a diff attribute

[limber beacon]

and click refund passives

[tender heath]

no

[limber beacon]

then select node u want to change

[tender heath]

you can change the stat given by attribute nodes without refunding everything

[limber beacon]

u dont refund everything..

[safe lance]

only that node

[limber beacon]

u just change the node from say str to dex

u will see this when u click the node u wanna change

[tender heath]

oh i see thx

I have to say: this community is one of the nicest gaming communities I've seen so far, and I've been around since before diablo 1

[upper mantle]

Hey Guys I am incredibly new to the game like just in Grelwood and got dropped this unique. Is there anything rare about this or anything special I should keep it for or just use it until i find a better weapon

[safe lance]

I think its pretty decent at low levels and yes you would normally swap when you find a better one.

oh I remember this one, its actually very good maybe even for all of act 1, use with permafrost bolts.

[trim turret]

Its decent very early but has extremely low damage so it will be outpaced fast.

[upper mantle]

Ok thanks, Is there any specific way to tell if a weapon is better or is ist just number bigger better lol

[safe lance]

it depends on the build but for xbow I think most leveling builds just want flat damage

it could also be flat elemental damage as well based on what rounds the build is using they are even just good in general

[trim turret]

Depends on the skills you're using but generally whatever makes your DPS in the skill screen go up. In many cases that means having a better physical damage roll at the top of the weapon, which is affected by extra mods on the weapon like %increased physical damage.

[glacial meadow]

is it just me or does the aura curse gem + the curse now deal dot damage gem doesnt work together

my dark effigy wont shoot at all

[wary seal]

I have 2 low level bow and quiver, not sure if they are great for you:

also not sure what I would sell those for

[mystic forge]

add sockets

[wary seal]

right, but I'm a sorceress, so I just kept them so far

I have a 2nd character that's a mercenary, maybe I'll try them for that

[trim turret]

Widowhail is used for later game builds when you can get a crazy quiver. Otherwise it's not worth using a bow with such poor stats.

[wary seal]

ah, ok

[ebon moss]

Widowhail rolls up to something like 250% (higher possible with corruption), so you've got a lower roll there. Probably not worth a lot

[hybrid star]

vaal it

[wary seal]

lol, I think I'll save those

but I guess it can't get any worse, on the other hand?

Hey guys I just started playing path of exile, is it a good addicting game to play ?

[wary seal]

I've been playing games since the 90s and this is one of the best, so far, but difficult at times

[hybrid star]

do you like gambling and killing monsters?

[wary seal]

I loved Diablo 2 and this feels better than the other diablo 3 and 4 games

I like the aspect of skill and strategy in an action RPG

[hard cypress]

This is my first arpg like this. When I'm not playing, I'm lurking here or watching YouTube playthroughs.

So ya, you can say it's a bit addicting.

[winter patio]

just try it for yourself, maybe you'll never wanna touch grass again

[wary seal]

I have to say: it can also be frustratingly difficult at times, but then you find a way and it's rewarding

and if all fails, the community in here seems very helpful!

[tawdry hatch]

Which is better lightning or ice for deadeye ranger, I am level 32

[granite totem]

Is there a specific level in which choas resist starts becoming more common on items? I got all my resists capped at 78% but can't seem to get any chaos on gear other than the amethyst rings

[barren dome]

Is anyone else unable to reset ascendancy skill points with doryani?

[trim turret]

Both are fine.

[barren dome]

My gold never removes, and when I change maps my ascendancy points revert back to what it was

[winter patio]

i also get that bug with reseting nodes recently, gotta go back and reset again

or exit to char select

[barren dome]

Tried, still won't work

[winter patio]

you might misclick apply with cancel?

[barren dome]

Nah, definitely doing it properly, but my gold never decreases

[winter patio]

weird

[tender heath]

why do these ritual totem thingies always let me summon finn?

cant even sell him stuff

[wary seal]

I have only tried sorceress (up to lvl 57 or so) and mercenary (currently lvl 11) and I like how different they are, despite both ranged... though the mercenary feels much easier so far

[hard cypress]

It's a quest chain he's involved with

[winter patio]

well, spells scale significantly with levels

[wary seal]

so mercenary is especially good early on?

[winter patio]

hmmm, it's decent, witch is easier

i don't go grenades, but bolts build

[wary seal]

I just seem to die way less often

[winter patio]

perma frost/high verlocity to galvanic/shock burst round build

[wary seal]

"permafrost bolts" seem to freeze my enemies so often

[winter patio]

as long as you're having fun bro, if you enjoy the aesthetic and gameplay

[wary seal]

I really do

I only wished it was a tiny bit easier with bosses and a tiny bit harder with regular mobs, so that I could experiment more with mixing up passive spells without having to worry about being able to beat bosses

[winter patio]

%dmg is good early

[haughty pumice]

Is there a hardcore chat for poe2?

[trim turret]

You usually end up having a setup for each. Early permafrost bolts and fragmentation rounds steamrolled bosses for me. Fragmentation rounds has a huge damage bonus against frozen enemies.

[wary seal]

for my sorceress I kind of specialized into spark / lightning

and it's hit and miss, sometimes it's awesome how many mobs I can kill and how quickly I can kill rare mobs and some bosses, but sometimes I just insta-die and don't know why

but I'm a pretty casual player

and I don't play according to guides mostly, so given that I'm pretty happy with it still

[trim turret]

Are you prioritizing life and resists on gear?

[wary seal]

definitely not life, I'm going more for damage

[trim turret]

It's not either/or. You don't have to sacrifice damage to get life on gear. Like at all.

[wary seal]

I have 1290 life, 1574 energy shield at lvl 58

[trim turret]

That's not bad. Kinda surprised you're getting one shot randomly. Get those resists as high as you can.

[tender heath]

what happened to all the stuff that was in my stash?

i switched from solo self found to standard so i could trade, did my entire stash get deleted?

[hybrid star]

they are still in SSF, you brought your character, not the stashes

[safe lance]

solo self found is a solo mode and it has its own stash, you cant trade in that mode

[tender heath]

what the hell

is the point

of SSF

[safe lance]

for cool people who like to show they did it all by themselves

like that guy in pawns stars that goes "I caught the ball myself"

[tender heath]

so its to flex

[wary seal]

I have to say: right now in Act 2 Cruel, my sorceress feels WAY easier than in act 2 Normal

[hard cypress]

Cruel acts are generally much easier than the normal versions since your build has taken shape by then with good gear

It's confirmation that you've set things up well

[polar horizon]

guys im on act 3 doing legacy of the vaal quest and i cant put small soul core into stone altar what i do

[weak burrow]

hey guys, i played a bit of poe1 on the ps5 a few years back, but now have poe2 on the pc, before i start. in your opinion what is a strong class for doing all end game mapping/bosses/pinnacles on a relatively cheap budget. i think i played witch on po1 (with all the skeletons) but my friend who also plays poe2 made a witchhunter and said he struggles to dps bosses before they one shot him. so don't want to go down that route and if seasons are going to come out i don't want to have to roll multiple characters. Thanks in advance!

Most classes can do all content

Only class that really struggles at times is warrior afaik

Also we do not know how the classes will look when we get Seasons.

Alot of nerfs/buffs will happen from now and till then

[sudden chasm]

The increased currency drops in maps with more players is applied to other areas as well? Like chaos trials is it better to run with a grp to farm currency even though we only get one key at the end

[weak burrow]

any tips for a builds?/where to start looking etc?

Where is the Gemling stat stacker? :d

Arent they budget friendly

I see them everywhere right now and they go meeep meeep

[weak jasper]

at 15-20d, sure, but they're not something I'd recommend to a person with zero experience asking for a build on discord

because they'd 1) not be able to afford it 2) fuck it up

[sudden chasm]

I'd suggest raxx's builds he explains everything really nicely for new players, I followed his ice strike invoker build at the start and had a ton of fun

[sacred agate]

Raxx

[weak burrow]

thanks for the help here, i'll start taking a look into these.

all the builds on that link i linked are quite well explained and solid

any recommendations for very high dps builds?

all of those are?

[sacred agate]

Spark/Invoker/Deadeye are, but you dont get 5m dps for 10 exalt

[plain saddle]

Hi, maybe you guys can give me some tips. I haven't played PoE sine maybe 2 years into the first game, and now I'm back trying out PoE2. I went minion Witch, but I feel it's not quite my jam, it's to cluttery for me and I lose track of my character often. Still want to play a good ranged character though, doesn't matter what class, but maybe something semi beginner friendly so I can warm up a bit and get to know the game. If there are guides for it, even better. Thanks.

[runic palm]

In PoE 2 you can really just go any class and try out the "basic" skills and scale whatever the tags say.

Ranger is pretty strong early on and seems like you might enjoy it

if you get stuck or feel weak on any of the classes in the campaign you can just screenshot your gear which is most likely where the problem is.

[plain saddle]

No I feel like my Witch does pretty well, I'm having trouble with the Iron Count, but I don't have much cold resist, so that's probably why. I just think I'd do better without a ton on my own minions distracting me.

[safe lance]

The SRS/flame wall is just to much clutter and burns my eyes as well. And early acts are definitely harder than poe1.

[craggy gyro]

You guys think we become Splash sup to later when the game come full out ? i mean vor minions .^^

[modest tree]

where can I ask for a price check? I checked the site but there's nothing quite like my item

also I've got E2 S1 Acheron

[topaz junco]

ok, if I can't ask for a price check, can I at least ask if the item's good for any build?

I don't know all the builds people're doing

[topaz junco]

Sure

[modest tree]

what's it for?

notice the radius got upgraded too so that may allow for more stuff

[copper wyvern]

can anyone help me clear act 2 pls ?

[topaz junco]

Only build I’d use it for is ignite based sorc or something. Benefits from 2-3 modifiers

[topaz junco]

#2┃looking-for-group

[modest tree]

I saw some infernalists using minions and fire, maybe for that too?

so then there's usage for it, ty

[topaz junco]

Those modifiers won’t benefit minions

[modest tree]

yeah but doesn't the infernalist also cast stuff?

and the minions also have a passive

[topaz junco]

Flame wall, but the flame wall damage doesn’t matter

[modest tree]

but I'm guessing igniting does then? if you cast it for utility

[topaz junco]

Flame wall has a high likelihood of applying ignite. Then factor in srs and hound as well. So applying ignite isn’t a difficult task for that build

[modest tree]

ok, ty

do tier modifiers increase when you turn an item into a rare item?

[haughty niche]

no

Magic items can have up to 1 prefix and 1 suffix. Rares can have up to 3 of each. The tiers and rolls of existing affixes on the item remain the same when being regalled into a rare item.

are guild stash tabs affected by sales?

and if i reject a guild member's guild point contribution, does it get refunded back to them?

[plain saddle]

If I reset an instace, does it scale to my level or stays the same?

[trim turret]

Campaign areas have set levels. The game doesn't scale.

[trim turret]

Yes to the sales. Not sure on the second part, but I can't imagine the points just get dumped into nothingness.

[narrow violet]

yeah they got refunded

[plain saddle]

Does increasing attributes do anything to damage? Just took off my +12 dex item and nothing happened to my bow DPS

Is it just for equipment requirements?

Attributes provide bonuses, but not to damage, and usually you don't stack them outside of specific builds that require certain pieces of gear.

[vestal iron]

Nooo I didn't

I don't know where to find him

Take it to trial of sekhemas. should be access9ible from desert map on caravan

[vestal iron]

[fringe obsidian]

good luck! the thing is a roguelite. so you'll get meta upgrades as you do it, to make future runs easier

also means don't worry too much if you fail it once or twice

[hard cypress]

You will get the coin back if you fail for this first ascendancy. So you infinite tries.

[vestal iron]

Awesome I should be able to wipe it out since I'm in act 3 already

[fringe obsidian]

here's hoping!

yep but lack of honor resistance might make it rough so if it feels like you're losing alot of honor get that 75% honor res

You bet. #1328202289755983932 helps a lot with getting your character geared up to sufficiently kill bosses on your own. If you can't even after upgrading all your gear, check back here with your skill and passive setups and we can try to optimize them.

i need to get to lvl45 as fast as possible

[trim turret]

Then you should just keep progressing. You get the most xp by staying in zones that are close to your level.

[hard cypress]

Progressing campaign is prolly the fastest way. Second best is the higest lvl area you can run

[nocturne marsh]

ill let others answer then, as I just did the campaign

[dire slate]

Thanks a lot

[trim turret]

This is a channel where people probably don't know what that is or what to do with it. And giving brand new players an item like that is more likely to harm them than help them.

[vivid cedar]

whats highest area for 32?

[craggy acorn]

I guess I'm in the chaotic good bracket then. No worries I'll do it in global chat in game

[trim turret]

Zones in the campaign are higher and higher level as you progress. You'll hit 45 naturally by just moving forward in the story.

[vivid cedar]

im already done with story cuz friend boosted me but he kinda f ed up at the start and i didnt lvl

trying to do +4 rn

[nocturne marsh]

you are through cruel and at level 32?

[vivid cedar]

nah just act 1 cruel

[nocturne marsh]

oof, now thats a predicament

well i would look at all of the zones on your map then

[craggy acorn]

Go back to the waypoints and find a zone that's closest to your level

[nocturne marsh]

the level of monster should be denoted

[vivid cedar]

yeh doing that rn

[nocturne marsh]

and then just go to whichever one is a couple levels above

outside of that, there wont be an optimal route. Just gotta grind

[vivid cedar]

rip haha

[nocturne marsh]

yeah that seriously sucks though. Gotta be frustrating

[vivid cedar]

it is :p

luckily i can use good jewels

[trim turret]

It's why we discourage carries. Power leveling isn't really a thing.

[mental needle]

Drowned city probably has the best mob density in act 3

[vivid cedar]

i already have 3 characters and really didnt want to grind this one haha

here i am 😅

[trim turret]

Grinding isn't really necessary in the campaign. Or shouldn't be if you have three characters and know what you're doing.

I cut my campaign time in probably half with my second character.

[nocturne marsh]

yeah thats a great point

[vivid cedar]

wht did u change?

[nocturne marsh]

buy uniques for movement speed

wanderlust, thrillsteel, foxshade, etc

[trim turret]

Nothing, I just understood the locations of things and how they worked in relation to each other.

[nocturne marsh]

all used to basically nuke lower level content

[vivid cedar]

already did tnx 🙂

[rose adder]

anyone know what im supposed to do here?

i took the checkpoint before killing the boss. will i lose the progress if i quit? 😭

[mental needle]

What do you mean?

If you leave the map will reset after enough time

If you already got all the runed pieces then you're done with the quest just have to go back to town

[trim turret]

Is that the red vale? You should have the items from the three encounters, including the boss.

[rose adder]

yea i delivered to renly.

[trim turret]

Then I'm not sure what progress you're worried about losing.

[rose adder]

just wasnt sure how saving works

[trim turret]

Zones reset when you log out or leave after roughly 15 minutes, quest progress, character, and things like your waypoints are constantly saved to the server.

[slate copper]

hi quck qs, Does equiping shield on the back protect you?

[mental needle]

Having a shield in your unequipped weapon set doesn't do anything

[hard blade]

Where dose freythorn usually spawn in hunting grounds

Found it

[lime surge]

if nobody asked i'll take it

[azure lava]

Read rule six #rules-and-info
No giveaways pls

[trim turret]

Only gear from your currently equipped weapon set affects you.

[thorn hornet]

Am I able to join friends end game content if I haven’t finished campaign?

[trim turret]

No.

Wouldn't really benefit you anyway.

[thorn hornet]

Was hoping to get some free xp lol. Leveling another char is such a hassle

[vivid cedar]

yep xD

[trim turret]

It'll be less painful once we have more build options and the other three acts, but leveling is an important part of character progression in POE.

[noble lynx]

is chaos damage elemental?

[mental needle]

No, chaos is its own damage type

[noble lynx]

blast it

thx

[dusky burrow]

elemental = fire / cold / lightning

[noble lynx]

was just hoping. not enough plus to chaos damage nodes

are there any uniques that are especially good for a chaos witch?

[azure lava]

In the campaign? Probably not in particular. Just the usual generally good ones like goldrim that give a bunch of resists

[noble lynx]

ok thanks

[wary seal]

man, I have no idea why people pay SO MUCH for stellar amulets... just got 150 exalted for one

[dusky burrow]

chance orb -> astramentis

[wary seal]

I like my good old amulet:

[wary seal]

is a "prismatic ring" (+10% to all elemental resistances) similarly expensive?

[safe lance]

This gives an idea of what white gear people will buy to chance and get a valuable unique https://maxroll.gg/poe2/meta/best-unique-items-to-chance

[wary seal]

this describes my approach perfectly 😄

The only surefire way to produce a profit with an Orb of Chance is to sell it. The risk-free approach is to use the Currency Exchange to convert them to Exalted Orbs. You can then spend the Currency on the gear you want. Of course, with this strategy you never get that big win moment. Many people prefer the slow and steady approach that eventually gets them to their goals, consider if this is what you would prefer.

[cedar depot]

i know its not poe but i need someone who knows his shit in PC and can tell me how much i can sell my setup

[dry wolf]

which stash tabs are "necesarry" to have in poe2

[cedar depot]

currency tab

https://tenor.com/view/hasbulla-gif-12654501364171447161

[languid sphinx]

is there any good uniques for warrior leveling?

[trim turret]

Wait for the sale, but currency tab and upgrading one of your standard tabs to premium so you can upgrade is good.

[trim turret]

Do it in the off topic channel then.

[deep smelt]

Great thank you I was playing world of war craft but I’ve been playing it for years I wanted something new and exciting I did start playing star craft as well

[deep smelt]

I most definitely will try it out thank you

[brittle shadow]

is early game supposed to be this painful

like the regular mobs are beating my ass

[safe lance]

yeah it can be rough, especially if you are new

[dim maple]

hey guys, can we play poe2 on surface pro 9 i5 8gb 256gb

or will the tablet just meltdown

[lapis flicker]

depends, are u new to poe or returning player from poe 1, also which build lol

[brittle shadow]

i played poe1 and mercenary

[velvet edge]

Can putting your item in the corruption altar get rid of it completely... Pretty sure my amazing boots in SSF just got turned into a fucking charm LOL

god damn....

[hard cypress]

For pathfinder freezing concotion, what other skills do you even use ? I'm in act 2 and everything just dies in one shot

[lapis flicker]

only class i havent played yet is mercanary and warrior lol prob just need gear upgrade

[lapis flicker]

not possible

[velvet edge]

They are gone mate I swear

In the altar in campaign?

[brittle shadow]

im like early act 1 getting curb stomped by wolves

[velvet edge]

not using an omen

[lapis flicker]

yeah the altars weird sometimes, go back into the altar and see if the corruption icon is still there

screenshot it if u canm not sure if u can load images here

[velvet edge]

I cant click on it

Man, thats worse than bricking the movement speed +25 on them lol

they are just gone

[chilly vault]

just started, should I be careful on what to use on my uncut gems thingy?are they limited or something?it's not like POE1 where I can buy gems from vendors no?

[lapis flicker]

they on the ground to ur right?

hold ALT

[velvet edge]

Nah nothing

[lapis flicker]

press Z?

[velvet edge]

yeah thats what i press usually

jesus, i feel like logging off after losing those boots haha thats brutal

[lapis flicker]

what is that

[velvet edge]

ill try relog

[lapis flicker]

yeah

[velvet edge]

maybe thats them but its not letting me target them

25 movement, 100 life and double res, pog loss xD

[safe lance]

press highlight items

I think Z on PC

[lapis flicker]

wait, its showing on ur character u have boots on still

[velvet edge]

bro haha

[safe lance]

oh probably just had it grabbed

[lapis flicker]

ya

[velvet edge]

i just logged into this

[safe lance]

hahaha

[lapis flicker]

LMAO

i thought that was them

[velvet edge]

it had it grabbed but wasnt showing it on screen somehow

[safe lance]

game was like, shut up your boots are right HERE

[lapis flicker]

do /bug and report that

[velvet edge]

right im leaving this altar alone

[lapis flicker]

yeap lol

[safe lance]

Those boots sound really good btw, why vaal them randomly?

I wouldnt

[velvet edge]

Decent little campaign boots for my first SSF run

[lapis flicker]

wow, pretty good for SSF, id save up some essences for speed

[velvet edge]

fire res a little low but yeah

[lapis flicker]

craft some good boots

[velvet edge]

ill be fine for res tho on SSF on Gemling

since i wont get HOWA and stuff for a bit

[safe lance]

25% ms yeah

[velvet edge]

I mean, if the rarity and fire res rolled higher i probably wouldnt replace them for a while into campaign haha

*maps

[wary seal]

I have similar ones

[trim turret]

What are you using for damage? Make sure you're prioritizing life and resists on gear, check vendors when you level, don't be afraid to spend your transmutes and augment orbs.

[plucky ridge]

i appear to have bricked my ascendancy. any ideas

[fading umbra]

can someone help me run through Act 1-3. I have few Div's from main account

[trim turret]

Howso?

[plucky ridge]

when i go to traitors passage its just the area with monsters i cant get the one with trial of sehkemas like my other chars

i killed balbalba but i dropped the quest coin on the floor didnt know i needed it and now she doesnt drop another one

[trim turret]

In normal or cruel? The trial isn't in the passage, Balbala is and drops the item to start the quest in normal. And in cruel you ignore it.

[plucky ridge]

my normal map looks like this

[trim turret]

Oh I don't know how to fix that. If you've done it with other characters why did you drop it?

[plucky ridge]

because on another character the coin got stuck in my inventory and i did have access

i guess i needed to show it to someone first

[civic rose]

Hi, I'm trying a new build that focus on volley and frenzy charges. The problem is I cannot proc charges and don't understand how it works? I added pinning and frozen dmg on the volley skill, using herald of ice also but I rarely have any charges and deal minimum dmg.
Volley still 1 hit enemies when have charges though.

[trim turret]

Maybe try it with another djinn bara when one drops or wait until act 3 and do the chaos trial.

[plucky ridge]

i was going to pay for tier 4 ascension carry but im not able to join the area

[trim turret]

What are you using to generate charges?

[trim turret]

That's because you can't access that until after the campaign.

[plucky ridge]

oh really? i swear i did it earlier before

[civic rose]

I'm using volley with pin, lock down and Cold infusion supports

following this build:
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/0467c1fa-cdec-434f-ae32-3a81ddc5e603/builds/2b905a44-eb61-40b2-af6e-e362da9f2268?weaponSet=set1

[trim turret]

That doesn't answer the question. None of those things generate charges.

[civic rose]

You mean the combat frenzy skill?

I'm only using this

[trim turret]

Yeah so that should be generating charges when you pin enemies.

So if you're pinning reliably it should generate charges.n

[civic rose]

yes that's my question, how can I pin more? is it scale with any stats?

[trim turret]

Pin buildup.

Herald of ice will also generate charges if it freezes an enemy. And profusion support on combat frenzy.

[civic rose]

yeah I'm using all of that but just not sure how can I build up freeze or pin faster

[trim turret]

More damage helps. And there may be some boosts on the passive tree. Can't look at it on my phone.

[civic rose]

Thank you, I'll try that

[wary seal]

these jewels should be very good against bosses, I guess?

[dusky burrow]

not exceptionally so, but yeah, they are useful then

[plucky ridge]

i think it may be bricked so if anyone has any ideas: trial of sekhemas i dropped the quest coin back in normal (because im dumb) and she wont drop another. im now in cruel and i still cant access trial area, cant join on a party member either

please if you have any ideas i dont want to have to do chaos trial

if i travel there on the desert map or world map it just takes me to the area with monsters, not the trial

[wary seal]

3rd stellar amulet I got in 2 evenings

[azure lava]

Sadly I've seen this twice before and there seem to be only three options:

1. Do chaos.
2. Wait for GGG to fix it.
3. Make a new character.

[plucky ridge]

oof

[wary seal]

seems to work well, I got the act 2 boss in cruel on 2nd try

[plucky ridge]

ty 4 info

[polar horizon]

yo how to quick pickup while eq is opened

[weak beacon]

can anyone help me find this?

i discovered the whole map

but no entrance to this area

[trim turret]

It's past the chimera boss.

[weak beacon]

Thank you sm, i killed the boss and was confused of its existence

[wary seal]

ah, was just about to offer help

[true summit]

they keep msging about PoE1 😦
please focus on PoE2 its your new playerbase X-X

[eager basin]

the dichotomy of vocal poe1 players upset about the focus on poe2 and this vocal poe2 player upset about the focus on poe1 is hilarious

[trim turret]

Both games are going to be maintained and updated.

[azure lava]

While your inventory is open, all ground items you click on will go to your cursor. You can maybe try ctrl clicking but I doubt it will work. Ctrl-clicking is how you swap items quickly between inventory and basically any window where an item can go.

[twilit cape]

is it faster to twink level with pillar or minions?

[hybrid star]

pillar with polkireilkn for chain explosion is quite fast

[winter patio]

does wind dance buff give crit chance or give crit chance on impact?

[trim turret]

Wind dancer doesn't give crit by default?

Oh it gives a flat +5% for that skill only.

[winter patio]

aaah

[wary seal]

if I want to sell something and found a buyer, and I am in their party, how do I get them to where I am? 🙂

[tall ore]

can somone help me with trials of chaos?

[distant comet]

You can click on their name and “warp to player” or have them warp to you as long as your not in a trial

[wary seal]

somehow that didn't show up

[distant comet]

Weird. Could just be bugged, already tried signing out and back in?

[wary seal]

too late that guy left the party

but in general I know what to do now

I gotta go for now anyway, try another day

[hybrid star]

usually it's the buyer that has to tp to the seller

[blissful helm]

how do i fix this? put a val orb?

[eager basin]

what do you mean by "fix"

[blissful helm]

make the low stats higher

[dusky burrow]

it might

it might not

[eager basin]

hit alt, you can see what range the stats roll
