[blissful helm]

i know its a gamble

[eager basin]

ventor's gamble is extremely random

[dusky burrow]

yeah go for it

[blissful helm]

okk!

[rough owl]

how the heck do you see what passives you took from the campaign quests? there were 4 choices I believe throughout

the first being Charm Charges gained vs Mana Recovery from Flask passive

[echo rivet]

Detonate dead or infernalist, which is strong for witch

[trim turret]

Well one is a skill and the other is an entire subclass.

So you can use detonate dead as an infernalist.

[echo rivet]

Got it. I meant I am using basic raging spirit sniper warrior build should I use det as well?

[trim turret]

If you want. Don't lose much by trying it, a couple of uncut gems that are pretty easily replaced.

Dunno how well the damage will scale if you're focused on minions.

[echo rivet]

Got it. Nothing wrong in trying.

[dusky burrow]

you can hover over on the world map

[dim maple]

i got a barya of balbala...

is that for the ascendancy trial?

can we do it more than once, like in poe1 or is this a 1 use consumable

[craggy gyro]

its 1 use but they would drop by mobs either so you could try again later with a new one

The 1st barya from babala could guarantee 1st ascendancy (talk to babala to get a new one)

[rigid elk]

Started a new character and noticed that the attribute point totals differ between my passive tree tab and my character sheet tab. Is this normal? If so, what is the functional difference happening?

[boreal hedge]

Does anybody need help with a boss?

[dim maple]

how long does sekhmas take?

i am planning to do my first one. but not sure if i should commit to it now, or wait till tomm as i have to sign off in another 20 mins or so

[warped fractal]

anyone free to help level up?

[rigid elk]

it can definitly take more than 20mins if its your first time

[balmy idol]

/bug

[blissful helm]

To get the 3rd ascension. Do we just finish the 2nd part of trials of sekhemas using lvl 60 djin?

oh ok, thank you

[rigid elk]

no, you get the third ascension after 3rd boss

[blissful helm]

thanks. wife doesnt have enough honor haha

we will try again

i guess i dont understand how honor works in coop. when i get hit, she loses honor. even tho we each have our own honor pool

by the time we are on the 2nd floor. she has like 1/3 of the honor left. after we fight the boss. i get hit and she loses honor

i got yelled at hahaha

which doesnt make sense b/c she will lose honor when she gets hit and i wont

[rigid elk]

yeah when you party up, even though you each have different honour totals, one person takeing damage will affect both you your honour amounts

the best way to combat this is to use honour resistance relics... they turn the trial into easy mode

[blissful helm]

ohh ok thats good to know!

thank you

can you also get the 3rd ascension through trial of chaos?

[rigid elk]

i've never attempted it myself, but i would assume so. I would imagine it would be after you complete all 10 floors, as the 4th ascension is gained from the trial master

i always get my 3rd from sehkemas

[rigid elk]

if you still end up having trouble with getting y'alls ascension, just hmu and i can help

[blissful helm]

thanks!

[civic rose]

hi, how does this passive from Icetomb Mail works?

Freeze as though dealing Cold damage equal to 10% of your maximum Mana when Hit

[warped fractal]

can someone help kill the wolf?

[cunning gulch]

Yes, you can get your your 3rd set through Chaos. Both Sehkemas and Chaos are set up to where you can get all 4 sets of ascendancy points from one or the other or completing a mixture of both.

[open nebula]

greetings! question about following a skill tree on mobalytics.gg (this one: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/ab398482-f59f-4f1a-84b1-1503106f7b4b/builds/c53f68dd-13a2-43f1-ab56-ac43f83aeca0), when I'm following their "+5 to Any Attribute" nodes on the tree, how can I tell WHICH attribute they increased?

when I mouse-over that node it just says "+5 to any attribute" heh, no specifics. (and if anyone has a better build guide for NON-cruel first character lightning ranger builds, that would be cool too; like 99% of tutorials online are for "beginners" that are level 80+)

[meager galleon]

you can't know, they

they've set it up "wrong"

and i put that into quotes is, it kinda depends on the gear you have

[open nebula]

d'oh... bummer, ok thanks, I'll ask the youtuber if they can clarify a bit.

[meager galleon]

a good guide would explain stuff

[eager basin]

99% of tutorials online are for "beginners" that are level 80+
guides aimed at beginners typically have levelling sections, those would be later pobs for the build -- and what's typically showcased, because people want to know what the build looks like at endgame

[meager galleon]

a build isnt just a tree

a build is a combo of tree, skills, and gear stats, and a good guide should explain that

i see what you linked is a bow build, so you will want a lot of dex for the bow gear and skills

like 220 or what the highest dex requirement is on bows

and you will need some int and str for the support gems

[open nebula]

ok, i'm DEX 96 right now. STR=37, INT=39. if I follow this person I linked to's build, it would probably increase my dex a lot. Should I go like 60-20-20- (DEX,STR,INT) for a lightning ranger bow build on stats; -ish.

[meager galleon]

sounds about fine for leveling

the 200+ dex is when you are in endgame and need to equip the best item bases

there really sint an optimal balance

[eager basin]

attributes in non-statstacker builds are almost entirely for equipment requirements, their benefits are extremely minimal

[meager galleon]

if you need a little more hp you can grab strength

[eager basin]

you don't balance them to a specific ratio, you pick up what you need to equip your gear

[meager galleon]

if you want to lean more on energy shield gear, you might want int to equip that stuff

[open nebula]

ok, yeah I've noticed that too; i'll occasionally wear a different ring in order to have the required stat to wear a gear item I really want... ok.. Yeah I like the energy shield a lot more than pure health.

[meager galleon]

and no matter how good your initial plan is, it will always need to be adjusted based on the gear you acquire ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[open nebula]

heh ok, thanks for the sage advice. i only get about 1-2 hours per night trying to figure these things out, so I'm trying to hammer in the good ideas into my head and try them out 🙂

[eager basin]

I would not recommend investing heavily into energy shield in early campaign unless you want to start trading, it's much more generally gear dependent than life and you pretty much have to invest in recovery if you want it to be useful

[meager galleon]

^

[open nebula]

trading?! haha, don't even have any clue how to do that yet.

currently I get like 27 life per enemy killed and 2 life per enemy hit, which I'm pretty happy about

[eager basin]

energy shield is really strong at the moment closer to endgame, earlygame it's not especially worthwhile

[boreal spruce]

What's the total resistance debuff you get at the end of the campaign right now btw? Its so hard to cap resist as a gemling legionnaire stat stacker

[eager basin]

(personally I did use ES for my main hit pool for most of the campaign, but I dropped a ghostwrithe in act 1, trade for ES gear, and was playing co-op with a much higher dps merc for the first couple acts)

[eager basin]

-60%

[open nebula]

I should capture this entire channel and send it to chatGPT for context and then ask it questions :), this is all great advice!

[vivid cedar]

back to grind 😦

[boreal spruce]

Damn, meaning even with a 5 slot mori and all resistance, you'll still need 60 of each res to cap out

[vivid cedar]

uh wht

[hybrid star]

don't forget 20 from campaign bosses

[boreal spruce]

Trying to see if it's possible to cap out resist with just chest and boots, seems a tad hard tho

[vivid cedar]

than throw in the ring with all % res

[hybrid star]

triple res boots, sould core on helm and gloves and that's it

[vivid cedar]

and if u have ingeunity belt its even easier

[vivid cedar]

better to have ms and good ev/es

[meager galleon]

in endgame 60% of each ele res is like 2 average rare items tho

[boreal spruce]

Hmm icic, Ms doesn't seem too useful as it's faster to zoom around using tempest for me

Helm slot is taken up by atziri, gloves by howa, belt by ingenuity and chest by mori atm

[vivid cedar]

ah u playing stacker mb

[boreal spruce]

Unless I have to give up a ring slot for resistance, which tanks quite a lot of stats 😦

There's also chaos resist to think about hmm

[vivid cedar]

try to find one with dex str/int and all element res

idk i run passive tht ignores chaos res for 1 hp

just gota build es

[meager galleon]

two rings like this and you are sorted

[hybrid star]

I went with MoM CI and it's a blast

[vivid cedar]

nah he needs dex + str or int

[eager basin]

isn't the thing that rings provide way more attributes per slot than any other item

[boreal spruce]

Oo, good idea about mom CI, I'll explore that option

[eager basin]

so you don't really want to replace those on a stacker build

[boreal spruce]

I'm killing everything but I am so squishy I can randomly die to stuff 😦

[meager galleon]

nope, i think you mean the breach rings that can be qualitied up to 50%

[eager basin]

not sure how that's a nope

[boreal spruce]

Yea rings gives a boatload of attributes especially because I'm using ingenuity

Close to 80 plus of each stat after factoring in all the extra attribute %

Per ring

[meager galleon]

thats a normal ring i linked, you can quality up any ring to 20%

[boreal spruce]

Still squishy as hell tho

[eager basin]

I did not say anything about that ring in particular, though, I was talking about ring slots in general

that ring doesn't provide any attributes at all

I was also under the impression that the actual attribute affixes on rings rolled higher than most of the other equip slots but I'm not sure on that one

[meager galleon]

oh my bad, you were in a different thread about stacking and i thought you are reacting to my example ring

[craggy gyro]

league when

[meager galleon]

in poe2?

not until full release

[foggy birch]

off topic

mods get him

[craggy gyro]

[craggy gyro]

7 months delay?

[meager galleon]

delay from what ?

the only aproximate time for release we have is: sometime in the 2nd half of this year

[craggy gyro]

we're not speaking the same language

best to let it go

[meager galleon]

if you wanna meme, go to the discussion channels, not the help channels

[hot shale]

Hi guys! Could you explain to me smth plz. Afaik Energy Shield protects your Life against all damage types except Bleed and Poison. Then if I take Chaos Innoculation my life becomes 1. How then I can protect myself from Bleeding and Poison with 1 life?

[foggy birch]

yea gtfo

oybeaver

whateverthefuck

[meager galleon]

energy shield should protect against bleed too

and poison is chaos dmg

[craggy gyro]

poison and bleed are chaos damage

u become immune to them

they dont do anything to u

[meager galleon]

bleed is phys dmg

[craggy gyro]

is it?

[meager galleon]

very much so

[hot shale]

this is the tooltip for energy shield and it looks like poison bypasses ES

[meager galleon]

Because bleed damage is based on damage dealt to life, CI effectively grants immunity to bleeding, due to energy shield (or mana) taking all of the hit damage.

from wiki

[hot shale]

but in PoE2 bleeding bypasses ES

[meager galleon]

thast from poe2 wiki

[alpine silo]

How do i stop receiving poe1 notifications?

[meager galleon]

bleed is an ailment of phys dmg, so the magnitude of bleed depends on how hard your life is hit

[frosty geyser]

Esge is right, you cannot get bleeding applied to you if you go for CI, ergo rendering you inmune to it

[meager galleon]

but CI makes it so you take no dmg to HP

so bleed does no dmg

[hot shale]

ah I got it. % of 1 is nothing so I cant die with CI from bleeding or poison.

[meager galleon]

poison is chaos dmg, so CI makes you immune to it by default

and the bleed immune is just mechancis sideeffect

[alpine silo]

No answer? Alright. Then ill just leave the server that just sends notifications out to everybody for some fucking reason. Idc about poe1 so don't fucking ping me

[meager galleon]

mods post all into a single news channel

there is no spearation really, gotta take it up with them

but you have the all notifications role

instead of just poe2 notifications, so that might have something to do with it

[foggy birch]

omfg same

i get baited so hard with the game news shit

like i always think its a poe 2 update

but its some poe 1 bullshit lol

[distant comet]

If I unlock sekhemas in act 2 will be able to get someone to carry my char to get all 8 pts for my ascendancy or do I have to get to maps first

[hybrid star]

yes just need unlock

[distant comet]

Ty

[meager galleon]

@alpine silo @foggy birch in #rules-and-info last post from Mulitplicity you can toggle the all notifications

[foggy birch]

ty will check it out

oh nice

is just 1 click and done

[meager galleon]

click on and off for the bell too if you want to turn of all notifications

and just get poe2

[foggy birch]

if i only wanna see poe 2 this good right

[meager galleon]

yeah

[twilit junco]

Has anyone run into a bug where a piece of gear doesn't increase a attribute when worn? I just took off a shield from my witch which provided 21 strength points, when i put it back on it no longer provide the points.

[plain saddle]

Are there any viable melee builds?

[cursive bluff]

Even your own self made build is viable.

[frosty heart]

Hi, was planning on availing the game this coming weekend. Is it still considered a beta test game?

[topaz junco]

Poe2 is still in early access yes

[frosty heart]

I see thank you... And is it better to download it in Steam or download it directly in the website?..

[topaz junco]

Doesn’t matter whichever one you prefer

[frosty heart]

Alright, thanks...

[pallid raptor]

I would say endgame is one of the only things in poe2 that feels like having alot of issues. I really liked playing campaign with no knowledge of the game at all

[dark heart]

guys can i already use the siren weapon effect in poe 2?

[glad grove]

If you want to track how much time you spent in the game you should go with steam, as the standalone client doesnt have a feature for that.

Only for time spent on specific characters.

[craggy gyro]

hello im playing poe2 for the first time and i wantet to ask how do i get "wings of caelyn, foxshade, luminous peace midnight braid cuz i need those for my build and im struggeling to get to act 2

[spare plank]

Should i wait to buy stash tabs or should i buy them now i got 300?

[near violet]

stash tab sale every 3 weeks

wait for that

[spare plank]

alr ty

[near violet]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/qqDMMwWcg trade site

[trim turret]

You shouldn't need any of those just to get to act 2 and Id like to see what new player build you're following that requires so many uniques.

[craggy gyro]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/twink-spark-stormweaver-leveling-guide im following this build and i die so many times just to normal mobs

[trim turret]

That says in the title it is a twink build, meaning it's a second character after you already have certain items to make leveling easier. Dying to act 1 mobs sounds like general build trouble.

[craggy gyro]

what build can i use then or what should i do?

[trim turret]

Maxroll has non twink non endgame builds if you look for them, or do your own thing and we can look at what you have and tell you what to improve.

[craggy gyro]

dont i need a starter build ?

[meager galleon]

need for what?

[craggy gyro]

for act 1

[final geyser]

You can play PoE2 without a build guide just fine in the campaign, especially if only talking about Act 1. Though, if you really want a build to follow, you can use the one meant for a first character, linked in the link you posted: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/spark-archmage-stormweaver-leveling-guide

[meager galleon]

you dont need a starter build, or any build, you can just figure the stuff out as you go and if your decisions arent completely stupid it will be fine-ish

if you want a smooth(er) experience, a starter build would help

[craggy gyro]

okay thank you all i will try it but do you know how i restet my skills and can start aigan?

[meager galleon]

respeccing passive points just costs gold

and skill gems and supports you can swap anytime

[trim turret]

What skill gems and supports are you running? Firing spark through flame wall is a pretty safe start for sorceress.

[craggy gyro]

those

[trim turret]

Fairly standard. Are you having trouble dealing damage or are you just taking a lot of damage?

[craggy gyro]

both

[trim turret]

Could be a gearing or passive problem then. On gear you want to prioritize life and resistances. Weapon you want to look for spell damage, +levels to spells, cast speed, etc.

[near violet]

are you past act 1?

[final geyser]

What kind of Staff/Wand are you using? Having +X levels to Spells tends to be a huge boost early on, and I often find +2s appearing in vendor inventories.

[craggy gyro]

no in act1

[near violet]

are you dying at the act 1 final boss?

[trim turret]

Check vendors when you level up, don't ignore blue gear, make sure you're disenchanting/salvaging/selling gear you aren't going to use.

Use transmutation/augmentation orbs to try and improve items.

[craggy gyro]

i just bought this one

[craggy gyro]

not the boss any mob

[clever geode]

life/es?

[clever geode]

are there no better staff/wand?

this looks bad

[near violet]

spark sorc is really painful campaign experience for a first time poe player, ngl

[craggy gyro]

no the best i found

[craggy gyro]

what should i use then

[clever geode]

just use nova

ez

[craggy gyro]

can you send a build link?

[trim turret]

Do you have life or resistances on any of your gear? Cause if not that will get you killed no matter what build or class you're playing.

[clever geode]

self build randomly

for leveling

[craggy gyro]

some light fire and cold res like 10% each

[clever geode]

what's your life/es

and

what's the main issue

hard to kill mob? or mob 1 shots u

[craggy gyro]

171 life 21 shield

[clever geode]

at lvl?

[craggy gyro]

10

[near violet]

that sounds reasonable

[clever geode]

is that not low?

[craggy gyro]

it takes up to 6-7 sec and in the time they do lots of dmg

[clever geode]

sounds about right

[near violet]

i aim for 300 by start of act 2 and +300 for every act

[clever geode]

if u let a mob hit u for 6-7 sec

[near violet]

but yeah damage is the issue here

[clever geode]

for wand

[trim turret]

What's the green support on spark?

[clever geode]

/staff

[craggy gyro]

pierce

[clever geode]

dont

remove pierce

[craggy gyro]

the build planner said it

[clever geode]

😑

which build

[trim turret]

That early, support gems that give direct damage upgrades are better.

[near violet]

it kinda makes sense before you get the chain nodes

[craggy gyro]

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

[trim turret]

It was a twink build.

[clever geode]

he is lvl 10

i think controlled destruction at the start is better

for more dmg

or

arcane tempo

[near violet]

arcane tempo is on already

[clever geode]

ah

then

[near violet]

pierce really does help spark dps a lot though

just not tooltip

[clever geode]

really?

[near violet]

yeah, because a single cast can hit more times

so you have more overlapping casts doing damage

[clever geode]

maybe cause it dont take long enough to kill mobs for me

to see pierce as good

[trim turret]

I'd go arcane surge myself.

[near violet]

it's not good once you have enough damage yes

or the chain nodes on the tree

[clever geode]

even from the start

i dont seem to kill them that slow

do u have fire wall?

[craggy gyro]

yes

[trim turret]

Are you firing sparks through the fire walls for the damage boost?

[craggy gyro]

yes

[near violet]

can you take a video of you going into the area you're having trouble with and fighting

hard to give advice without more info

[craggy gyro]

1 moment

[noble lynx]

really tired of not being able to insult fing enemiy montsters on this discord stupid af

this viper bitch is pissing me off

[craggy gyro]

should i use other build?

[clever geode]

pretty sure

your weapon sux

what u added in passive

from what i seen in the guide

[craggy gyro]

just did it new

[clever geode]

starting too invested in mana regen

u got 0 dmg

[shut abyss]

yup, you can pretty much do all damage passives whole campaign

[craggy gyro]

what do you mean

[shut abyss]

for whatever reason you took attribute notes which are generally bad and you should've gone more like this

[shut abyss]

that would give you 56% and 44% increased damage on lightning spells

[clever geode]

es and manaregen dont scale well at the start

[near violet]

You're looking at the wrong tree in the build guide, that's probably the endgame tree

[trim turret]

Attributes don't give damage by default so all that intelligence you took at the beginning of the tree isn't doing much for you.

[near violet]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/tree/8h1av0bk/4 this is the tree in your guide, press the left arrow at the top until the tree is empty

Then follow that progression

You're skipping all the early game spell damage nodes

That's what you do in the endgame because those nodes suck then, but not right now

This is how your start should look like

@craggy gyro

[hard blade]

It looks like I'm not getting any flask charges. How much flask charges do you get from killing a monsters?

[craggy gyro]

yes i will uise it

[shut abyss]

why the attributes at the start?

[trim turret]

Depends on the rarity of the monsters. It's like only a portion of a charge or a chance to get a charge with white monsters.

[near violet]

Please read everything i typed

The arrows showcase the respecs done throughout the progression

Weird way to do the guide tree but it's there

[shut abyss]

not what i asked, why does whatever build that is need those 3 attributes over the other choices?

[near violet]

Like in the endgame?

[shut abyss]

yes

[near violet]

Int for mana for archmage

[trim turret]

If it's archmage, for the extra mana the attributes provide. More mana = more damage and survivability.

[shut abyss]

ahh

[near violet]

You already have many other sources of increased damage

[hard blade]

So it's Based on chance is what your telling me. Than what about the mobs the boss spawns

[near violet]

So those minor nodes at the start have a lot of diminishing returns

[trim turret]

Again, it depends on their rarity. That doesn't change because the boss spawns them.

But that's why it's good to transmute and augment flasks, almost all the flask mods are nothing but upsides.

[trim turret]

You're also dodging into a lot of damage in that and drawing the minions away from the boss. Try to get them close to the boss and then use your clearing skills so that the boss is also taking damage. You were close on that one.

[tired forge]

.....

I circled a blood pool for like 2 minutes not realising ritual was long over and I can move to next room.

I am a full blown idiot

[hard blade]

What would be more useful. Scatter shot on lighting arrow or lighting rod

I might put it on lighting arrow and use magnified effect on lighting rod

[near violet]

Rod

Multiple rods shotgun

[hard blade]

Wdym by multiple rods shotgun?

[near violet]

3 rods Vs 1 rod, all 3 can chain and do damage to the same single target

[craggy gyro]

I need technical help

rx 6800 _ i9 14k and i get 30fps e.e

[hard blade]

I kinda did everything alright after putting some more energy shield on my ranger even though it won't help alot since it's just another defense layer right?

[trim turret]

What renderer are you using?

[craggy gyro]

1080p

[trim turret]

Try Vulkan instead of DX12.

[craggy gyro]

no fps cap :p

[trim turret]

Give it a bit, it's rebuilding the shader cache.

That happens when you change renderers.

[craggy gyro]

i try dx11 and its work

[trim turret]

DX11 is out of date and no longer supported. You should have just waited for the shaders to rebuild.

You have a card designed for DX12/Vulkan.

[craggy gyro]

How much time should it take?

[trim turret]

I don't know. Until that shader bar is no longer filled all the time.

[bitter nimbus]

how to search for ANY elemental resistance on trade website?

like a ring

[trim turret]

I think you can search for total elemental resists as a pseudo mod.

[obsidian acorn]

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

or u mean

you do this

i put rune by mistake

[obsidian acorn]

weighted sum and put 1

[lament crest]

Really stupid question, but is finding a level 4 spirit gem all up to the rng gods or is there’s a certain way of finding them because I need one for my build but idk when to find one at lol

[obsidian acorn]

you get one from quest i think

but after that its rng

and they are rare at low levels cus you skip those first levels pretty fast

[shut abyss]

slap a low level orb of storm to that and build done!

[nova moss]

Finally uninstalled this hollow, boring game.
We should all do the same, and check back next league.

[shut abyss]

Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.

[hard mesa]

has anyone played this on 32:9 super ultrawide?

[hard cypress]

That's.. profound

[small relic]

Anyone know if there are waystone stash tabs?

[safe lance]

not yet

the map stash tab from poe1 says "coming soon" or something like that

[woven glen]

i use this lootfilter, but it shows all white and blue, i want a lootfilter for levling to only show the good iteams i should pic up that can sell or be good to gamble on, any ideas?

[weary osprey]

then you want a specific levelling/chancing filter instead of a generic strictness filter

need to customize it on filterblade

[woven glen]

can i find it on poe website on filters u mean?

[weary osprey]

https://www.filterblade.xyz/

[feral cosmos]

Are there hits that can't be blocked aside from the boss attacks that have a sound queue? I can't seem to block the giant skeleton's flop attack

[hard cypress]

I think that is considered a slam

[feral cosmos]

Slams can't be blocked?

[cursive scarab]

• You can only block strikes and Projectiles.
• AoEs require Turtle Charm (warbringer ascendency).
• DoTs can never be blocked.

[feral cosmos]

Then how about when using wailing wall? I mainly rely on the passive block anyway. Still can't block aoe hits?

[rapid crow]

Hey is cast on ignite any good?

[trim turret]

That can't be answered in a vacuum. If it is helpful to a build that can take advantage of it and use it, yes.

Can. You invited me Anrather

[wary seal]

sorry

[craggy gyro]

can anyone help me i am lvl 17 and its taking me so long to kill enemys and they kill me fast

[wary seal]

sorry, that was more difficult than I thought, but I think it's really crucial to lure him away from the lava

[hard cypress]

Its a dps check and you need to pull him away from the lave. He will go there occasionaly to do mechanics but you can force him out after

[wary seal]

I should have enough DPS

my spark alone does 2,266

[tired forge]

Are there anyone here between L70-L85?

[hard cypress]

Both here and in #2┃after-acts-help

[tired forge]

I need to get rid of 30 or so L1-10 Dilirium waystones. Items are free, DM if interested/

If not I am recycling them in 5 min.

[iron patio]

guys how do i activate the stone altar small soul core it wont work i already restarted game and tried dropping it, nothing happens when i click the stone altar

[foggy birch]

holyyy game laggy rn

lets comeback in 2 hours...

[rose adder]

why cant i travel to Grelwood? i have rune spikes

[hybrid star]

you haven't taken the waypoint, gotta walk from Clearfell then

[grim vector]

Is poe2 confirmed getting spectres?

[sage lotus]

+5 attributes or chaos resist on act 3 reward?

[wary seal]

depends on your build I'd probably say? not an expert

[trim turret]

Did you redo your tree like we said amd start following the leveling version of the tree?

[craggy gyro]

Yes

[trim turret]

Well it's the same as before. Get life and resists. Get better weapons. Check vendors and use currencies to improve gear when possible. Follow the gem config recommended by your guide.

[craggy gyro]

I did i got decent hear but my dps is very bad and idk how to change

[fringe obsidian]

I almost always take chaos res

[sage lotus]

Yeah that’s what I usually do but im currently playing gemling so idk +5 all seem kinda worthed but at the same time it ganna be hard to max chaos if i take it

[worthy drum]

Overestimate. There no way you have 'decent' gear at that level unless this isnt your first character.
Its normal that early game is hard as you have basically not much resources. If you play trade league see if anyone can donate you some gear, sorry im in SSF.
The usual applies - always admit your gear sucks, pickup everything on the ground even if its blue to check for good modifiers - life res for armor pieces, +gem level for weapon, attack weapom require high pDPS... learning item will take some time, its the hardest aspect of poe.

[wary seal]

grr, I hate the first stages of act 3 with all the poison damage... I die so quickly

[craggy gyro]

With decent i mean for my lvl it had good modifiers but my dmg still was very low

[trim turret]

Are you still using the staff from earlier?

[craggy gyro]

No got a better one

[umbral mauve]

What "level" should you theoretically be before starting maps?

[fringe obsidian]

whatever level you finish campaign at is fine

[umbral mauve]

Sounds good, didn't know if I should grind more.

[trim turret]

Let us see it.

[fringe obsidian]

what i'd say though is try to stick to the tier of map you're on for the map quest (do 10 of each tier) until it's done. that way you'll be a decent level for each next map tier

[trim turret]

The state of your resistances matter way more than your level.

[fringe obsidian]

this is also very true lol

[umbral mauve]

Yeah I need to get some of my resistances up.

[hard cypress]

Could just start doing maps till you start finding it rough

[craggy gyro]

Sorry im not at home rn and i dont know all the starts but some it was 46% spell dmg 50 Max mana and cast speed

[fringe obsidian]

this is what I do. once I start dieing too much or taking too long to do anything i look for upgrades

[umbral mauve]

Any eta on when GGG is gonna let us have access to the API for Path of Building?

Would love to use for my build

[fringe obsidian]

no clue yet

I've been using pob as a tree planner and nothing else

I find the damage is pretty stacked in the players favour in this game

[slate copper]

Hi, I currently made it to act 2. Playing Merc.
Need help with gear, currency and build.
Firstly im not sure what to equip and what to keep and what to sell to the npc.
Build wise I want something that is fast and specially not entirely grenade focused.
also should i use the blue orbs or save? and what about dismantling and crafting bench?

[trim turret]

More damage on crossbow (flat damage at the top of the item card) is pretty safe to look for. You want life and resists on gear, movement speed on boots, salvage items with quality and sockets, disenchant or sell other blues or yellows you won't use, feel free to use transmute and augment orbs. They're easily obtained. Don't regal unless a blue item already has two good mods on it.

Build wise, you have a lot to work with. I did all projectiles early, tried grenades, eventually did a hybrid of the two. Just need to find ways of making skills interact with each other. Permafrost bolts and fragmentation rounds treated me well for a while. There are whole builds that basically use galvanic shards for everything.

[weary hedge]

guys i havent really been following the news do we know when the release will be?

[rose adder]

"continue through grim tangle" is a bit vague. do i need to go to cemetery of the eternals? or just explore the entire map?

[hard cypress]

Go to the cemetry yes

[hard cypress]

No official release date for full game release

[unreal sphinx]

hello there
I have this as quest objective, but I can't enter the door
I entered a game where they already killed the filth queen
what should I do?

[worthy drum]

she suppose to drop Temple Door Idol to allow you to progress

[trim turret]

Need to reset the instance and kill her again for the key.

[hard cypress]

Probably try killing filth qurrn in new instance

[unreal sphinx]

ok ty

SHE DIDNT DROP THE KEY

sry caps

[dawn crescent]

any new players need boss carrys no matter the act or act 2

[worthy drum]

🤔 just checking in case, you using lootfilter?

[unreal sphinx]

yes, but I got it in the end
I entered a game were they were doing the quest, the key did not dropped but I was able to enter this time

imagine the door was open but no fog to click, this time clickable fog was there

[slate copper]

Can someone recc me builds. something that is fast.
also do I keep all gold items/gear?

[edgy cloud]

So is it possible to gear to survive one shots during the campaign? Or are there going to be some boss attacks that you just can't viably survive and have to dodge? Specifically HC SSF so surviving without choice uniques.

[fringe obsidian]

I think so yeah. even the insane monkey in act 3 and the fire sword lady in act 2 can have their one shots avoided

it's tough though!

[hard cypress]

Doesn't doryani have one shots ?

Or was my gear just sus lol

[fringe obsidian]

If he does I aint seen them

[edgy cloud]

I couldn't find any numbers on what it would take to survive certain hits, any idea if that exists anywhere? My last HC run got ended by the titan bosses dagger attack, and I felt like my EHP was great then, it is hard to picture what it would take to live through that hit

[fringe obsidian]

If it's anywhere it'll be https://poe2db.tw/us/

[edgy cloud]

Thanks!!

[agile scarab]

is this a normal number of breach hands to have in a map?

[rustic dirge]

If you’re using cast on freeze, and you keep damaging them with cold damage while they’re frozen, does it still add more energy to the cast on freeze?

[agile scarab]

ok found another one, 6.

[edgy cloud]

Ok so it is hard to parse, but I think this does give an idea of how hard zalmarath can hit. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure that dagger stab can hit for 1,250 damage so I'm not sure if tanking it is even possible(in levels 20-30 when you naturally fight him). Maybe if you specifically had a lot of armor, but I'm not even sure how armor mitigation works or if it would be enough

[fringe obsidian]

Zalmarath..... refresh my memory who is that

[edgy cloud]

the titan boss in act 2 at the end of the titan area. He is huge and swings a sword, you're locked on a small platform fighting him

[fringe obsidian]

oh right

[edgy cloud]

I think this: is his stab the ground OHKO move:

[fringe obsidian]

hmmmm I'm not sure cuz I definately got hit by a bunch of his attacks my first one through and lived. well aside from the move where you have to hide behind the sword during his lazer attack

[edgy cloud]

yeah maybe it was just unlucky, since it looks like that move could potentially crit

[trim turret]

No, it only gains energy when you freeze enemies. If they unfreeze and you freeze them again that would work.

[rustic dirge]

Gotcha thanks

What happens if you freeze and electrocute at the same time?

[trim turret]

They dont interfere with each other if that's what you mean.

[rustic dirge]

So if I electrocute and freeze at the same time it serves no purpose since they’d be unable to move either way?

I was kinda hoping they’d stack like 5 sec freeze stun+5 sec electrocute=10 second stun instead of them overlapping and it still only being a 5 second stun🤣

[trim turret]

That would be broken.

[plucky ridge]

i wonder if this will fix my sekhemas maybe

[terse cloak]

Hey can anyone tell me what dictates the max number of many flasks? Is it the type of flask itself? The belt? A combination of things?

Max number of Mana flasks

I'm playing poisonous concoction and I'm running out to flasks too quickly. I have 7 flasks, I'd like around double that. Any advice?

[eager bronze]

Anyone doing free ascendancies?

[trim turret]

You mean flask charges? Base type of flask, the mods on the flask, and other methods of recovering flask charges on gear and the tree.

[topaz junco]

#2┃looking-for-group

[terse cloak]

I see. I'll try using orbs on the flasks and see if that helps. Thank you

[safe lance]

for conc the flask that gains 0.xx charges per second mod is preferred

0.25 but obv thats a big higher ilvl if you are in acts, you can get even starting giant/grand flask with 0.15

[wary seal]

it's been like 10 levels since I have the same life flask, and I can't find nearly anyone close to it

even though it's not that great

[burnt harbor]

[bitter nimbus]

which program people use for price check?

awakened poe trade?

[hot ledge]

hey I have a question about skin packs. do i get to keep them forever and i can remove them from armor?

[pallid raptor]

if you buy any skin from the shop you can equip them and unequip them. And ofcourse you will keep the skin

[hot ledge]

thank you

[pallid raptor]

only thing you might wanna know is that you can only use it on one character

[hot ledge]

also is there any way to get points cuz theres a lotta stuff in the shop that looks kinda p2w

[hot ledge]

so lets say i buy an skin pack on my witch i cant have it on my warrior?

[pallid raptor]

only stashes are p2w someway but no there is nothing that is really p2w

[pallid raptor]

Yes if you play 2 characters

Skin will work on any class

only weapon skins are based on what weapon you use but it also says that the skins is only for swords for example

[hot ledge]

okay i looked into the shop more and yeah its all stash stuff

[trim turret]

You can only have it on one character at a time but can freely switch.

[hot ledge]

ayo

[pallid raptor]

if you want to use your points efficiently buy stash

but if you are more casual skins are also okay

[hot ledge]

aye aye, i got 300 from purchasing early access

this skin looks dope

[pallid raptor]

yes

I got the galaxy skin with wings for like 700 I think

[hot ledge]

70 dollars...

[pallid raptor]

i have the 100€ early acces pack

[hot ledge]

also any guarantee this game wont turn into crap and be p2w

[trim turret]

Sale should he coming up soon for stash tabs. Prioritize currency tab, upgrade one of your basic tabs to premium to make it easier to trade, and after that whatever you feel like you need.

[trim turret]

POE1 hasn't and has been around for over a decade.

[hot ledge]

yes sir yes sir

[pallid raptor]

yes poe1 never has been p2w

[hot ledge]

thank you for help

[pallid raptor]

not like diablo

[hot ledge]

i just bought this game like 30 mins ago

and cuz diablo sucks

p2w garbage

[pallid raptor]

diablo is p2w

Yes

Only great thing about diablo are the story cutscenes

[hot ledge]

im suprised how well my laptop is running this game

and everything looks great

[pallid raptor]

if you have any questions or need help with bosses idk or need better gear just add me/ dm

[pallid raptor]

I can give you any sort of gear so you have a better experience since some new players struggle in campaign already

[hot ledge]

thanks for the offer but im good

imma just run around like a moron for an hour

[pallid raptor]

nice grind

[hot ledge]

touch every crevice for loot

again, thank you for the tip both of you

[pallid raptor]

ok have fun enjoying the game

[trim turret]

Strongest skill you can have in POE is to read everything. Your skill gems, your passives, your gear, hold ALT and read underlined keywords.

[hot ledge]

i actually failed to read how the first right click skill you get from the witch

and i was confused why it was doing no damage and i got random skeleton dogs

off to a great start

[trim turret]

Free skeletal warriors are from your sceptre.

[copper wyvern]

guys when ikill mobs and get multiple drops the drops dissapear the ui just dissappears i need to take all the items to sort out anyone an idea how to fix it ?

[trim turret]

Hit Z. That toggles showing nameplates.

[copper wyvern]

when i get the loot drops or now ?

[copper wyvern]

oww nice thanks bro

[trim turret]

Yeah just hit it and then try not to smack it by accident.

[chrome moon]

anyone wanna sell me a ranged weapon with high damage or chaos resistence

[wary seal]

getting better charges seems to have improved my quality of life quite a lot 🙂

[trim turret]

1. Your idea of high damage and the type of damage you need might be different from what people have. 2) You don't want resistances on weapons. 3) This isn't a trade channel.

[cobalt viper]

When is POE3 launching?

[tender heath]

what is the reason deadeye is so good?
i read some of her nodes its nothing too crazy

[wary seal]

is this any good at all?

I never like when items have negative stats...

[solar wyvern]

can spot the newbies when they say skins or legendary

[trim turret]

It's good for not using flask charges. Uniques aren't automatically amazing items, they provide something you can't get from other items.

[wary seal]

makes sense... "unique" items

[trim turret]

Some ranger skills get huge bonuses from frenzy charges, she has a node that doubles that effect. Generating charges. Large bonuses to pretty much any projectile skill (including spells). Big buffs to movement and attack speed. What's not to like?

[unreal spoke]

Good depends on what you want to do. If you want to build some kind of flask-related build, that would be kinda good yeah... otherwise, kinda meh.

[hard cypress]

👀

[unreal spoke]

? xd

[hard cypress]

Mods halp

[trim turret]

How about we not post random shit in the help channel?

[safe lance]

Weird bot

The picture in after acts help has eyes closed

Maybe if we quickly checked all channels it’s a flipbook?

[elder leaf]

You look very pretty

[safe lance]

It’s a picture of me actually

[elder leaf]

Real

[split kindle]

i’m in act 1 cruel difficulty, and i feel weak, how much damage should i be doing, i do 600

[trim turret]

That is not nearly enough information. 600 with what? Is that the only skill you're using? There are things not taken into account on the dps screen. There isn't a set number.

[split kindle]

600 on spark, .48 second cast time,
individually it says 27-486 total damage

[trim turret]

What are you using with it? What support gems are on it? Are you surviving and its just taking a long time to kill things?

[split kindle]

i have pierce, unleash, and acceleration, i’m just taking too long to kill things

and i’m using flame wall and mana tempest with it

[unreal spoke]

Arcane Tempo, Controlled Destruction and Inspiration might be better support gems in the early game

Faster cast, lower cost, higher damage

[trim turret]

Yeah I'd dump unleash for arcane tempo.

[split kindle]

alright

[unreal spoke]

Fortress and Spell Cascade in the flame wall could be cool too

To make sure every single projectile is set on fire

[trim turret]

Maybe add in orb of storms and supports for inflicting lightning exposure, that sort of thing. You want things to synergize.

And of course keep checking for better weapons.

[split kindle]

i have those on flame wall, i have orb of storms i’m just not good about using it

[unreal spoke]

Orb of Storm + Conductivity to kill bosses if you struggle with those

Not needed to clear the maps

[split kindle]

thanks

[unreal spoke]

Just use those two to lower the boss resistance to lightning damage, thats it <3

[stuck vigil]

@round violet kill da bot

hey, someone knows how to remove that autoaim on my mercenary shots?

[tender heath]

can someone list the trading currencies in order of value?

please xd

[trim turret]

Exalt and Divines are the two main ones. Exalts are like the $1, Divines are like the $100.

[dusky burrow]

the rest you can check at the currency exchange (if you've unlocked it)

[tender heath]

what about chaos orbs?

1000$? xD

[trim turret]

No.

Check the currency exchange once you unlock it.

But most trades won't happen in chaos.

[tender heath]

is this accurate?

[trim turret]

Since its a player run economy/market and is always changing, probably not.

[tender heath]

yeah i dont have that yet

thats why im asking unfortunately

[trim turret]

Then you're too early to worry about trading currencies.

[wary seal]

man, I was trying the "Archmage" Spirit skill/buff, but even though I would make like 50% more damage I can't sustain the mana cost right now with all my casting speed etc.

[trim turret]

Archmage is something that you plan your entire build around. It basically makes it so that nothing besides mana matters. And is very popular right now so I'm sure you can find a guide for it.

[tender heath]

do portals expire if you stay in base for too long organizing stash for example

the portals you create to get back home then back to whatever map you're farming

[wary seal]

yeah, that makes sense, it seems to drain mana like nothing else!

[trim turret]

Yes, and you shouldn't really need to do much farming, especially if you aren't in cruel yet.

[lusty elk]

ill delete if frowned upon to post in this chan abt this....anyone interested in joinin a noob guild hmu

[tender heath]

okay got it

[tender heath]

why not?

why aren't chaos orbs a popular trading currency?

i remember them being THE trading currency in PoE1

they even got their own pet thing in the first game

[wary seal]

they also seem very rare

[tender heath]

thats the reason?

[wary seal]

no no, I was just thinking: that should make them valuable

[tender heath]

yeah im also asking why they're not

[wary seal]

my guess is that adding a new modifier to a rare item is more often needed than removing a random one and adding a random one (chaos)

[trim turret]

Its just how the market emerged naturally.

[wary seal]

but sometimes I wished I had a thousand chaos orbs 😉

[tender heath]

maybe chaos orbs are just too rare for their actual value

mirrors are rarer but are also equally as.. powerful

is my theory

idk im new

[wary seal]

lol, I just killed that "toxic bloom" mob in like 2 seconds

and the chimaera also very fast, I'm rolling right now, nothing like act3 normal

huh, weird, I can't find the entrance to Jiquani's Machinarium in Chimeral Wetlands, I believe I covered the entire map now

dang, found it! I'm stupid...

I even think I read someone asking that same question earlier today

[ruby mulch]

Hey Team, so why is this happening...I add a skele and I lose a spirit skill...

Says one more should cost 60 I;'ve got 73 to spare

[trim turret]

What spirit skill do you lose?

[ruby mulch]

elemental invocation

[trim turret]

Is the 73 with it off or on?

[ruby mulch]

everything is on...

then

I add a skele and ele invo goes away

[trim turret]

Are you able to manually turn it back on?

[ruby mulch]

bahah

it just all reset

what a game

so with ele now it's saying I have way less

thanks toggling it a few times must have jogged it free IDK

[trim turret]

Make sure there's no accidentally weapon set swapping going on or anything.

But yeah spirit is a little wonky still.

[ruby mulch]

THANKS 🙂

[strange tinsel]

what level do i needa be to do my third and fourth ascension

[wary seal]

man, this game is like a science... my head is spinning with all the passive/support/skill combinations

it would help to see for a support gem to see which skills it can be used for instantly

[ebon moss]

3rd needs either an area level 60+ Sekhemas, 3 floors, or 75+ Chaos, 10 trials. Ascension 4 needs either level 75+ Sekhemas, 4 floors with defeating Zarokh, or Chaos with defeating Trial Master.

[solar wyvern]

I don't think you need any specific player level but the required invites spawn monsters at these levels https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Ascension_trials

if you just run in on your first level 75 character you'll probably get bonked

[upbeat canyon]

Hi, I'm doing trials of chaos on an alt, and when I go in using the quest ultimatum it is giving me a 10 round ultimatum instead of 4 that seems a lot harder than it should be. Any idea what is going on?

[peak basin]

Ure putting 10 trial one in?

[upbeat canyon]

no, the green one

[chilly vault]

where do i get my 2nd uncut spirit gem after getting the first free one?i just entered act3 and wanna get combat frenzy lol

[hard cypress]

Act 2 lost city tomb has a guaranteed drop

oh i actually got some, but level is not enough to get combat frenzy

[hard cypress]

Ah, the act 3 side boss is the best bet then

[chilly vault]

[jovial ember]

Anyone else have this raging spirit problem where you have 30 spirit and you have it turned on.. But it still won't proc with flame wall? It was working earlier but then I out a staff in the second weapon set.. Somehow it worked but then stopped working.. So I took the staff off and still not working.

[hard cypress]

Maybe try unsocketing and resocketing the gem ?

[jovial ember]

Yeh definitely did that. Reset the game even

[hard cypress]

If there are other ways to summon the raging spirits outside of fire wall, could try them. I don't know other ways though lol

[jovial ember]

Yeh it's weird.. I just used it throughout most of campaign and it just won't work now. Fukn sucks!

[full wren]

Fireball

Lots of fire spells summon them, maybe even flameblast

[fervent rivet]

Any good invoker tanky build suggest ?

[hard cypress]

Invoker mainly stacks evasion and uses the armor + evasion node to boost defence

There are some passives which use the body armor evasion for further boosting

[jovial fable]

If u want to be tanky u can use CI and get a lot of es

can also get a Vorana jewel that converts your strength to some ES

pair it with grim feast, it doubles your ES

[pine idol]

yo where do you check crit chance

i thought it was supposed to be in character info "c"

[daring dragon]

In the advanced info of the individual skill that you can access via the gem menu.

[pine idol]

ohh thanks

[jovial island]

Any recommendations on a sorc levelling guide? Friend of mine is fairly new to the game and struggling a bit, i dont know much about sorc so dont want to sway him wrong ..

[meager galleon]

i think there is some spark sorc leveling build on mobalytics

[cursive bluff]

what item types can you have spirit on outside of amulet/scepter/uniqu body armour

[soft shore]

i would like to run a minion char what build are ppl using usally and what class

[cursive bluff]

witch because it has a minion node on the asc and im just making my own depending on what skills sound fun

seems pretty easy to throw a build together

if you're set on following guides then ghazzytv used to be the no1 for minion builds in poe1 (for newer players)

[soft shore]

oh okey will try to find a guide on leveling a witch minion

[cursive bluff]

#1322251338167484436 for more class specific questions

[meager galleon]

body armor doesn't have to be unique

+spirit rolls as a normal mod

[cursive bluff]

not seen spirit on body before outside of the pariah chest

good to know

[meager galleon]

random example

[cursive bluff]

i believe you i just havent seen it on rares myself is all

whats the max roll?

[meager galleon]

no clue

[cursive bluff]

would giants blood allow you to use 2 scepters or is 2 scepters just not possible regardless?

[meager galleon]

based on craftofexile, max is 61 on body armor

[cursive bluff]

i tried looking on poe2db at spirit but thats all i saw lol

[meager galleon]

sceptre isnt a 2h so giants blood would do nothing

also afaik its just explicitly not possible to dual wield scepters

[cursive bluff]

sucks lol

since poison and chaos skills are both chaos damage would their DOTs still stack with one another and can chaos DOTs stack? like if i put envenom onto my zombies for example would that poison from support, poison from snipers gas cloud and contagion chaos would that be 3 seperate DOT or would it replace/refresh?

[unreal sphinx]

hello there
when an item like gloves has "X% increased Evasion and Energy Shield"
does it mean it increases the one on the item or the total I have?

[cursive bluff]

on the item itself

[unreal sphinx]

great ty

[frozen blaze]

can we save our passive tree? so we can load and try other builds

[meager galleon]

nope, no tree loadouts ingame

[granite totem]

I found spirit on chest and amulets get much more common after level 70

[steel junco]

still works for me

[cursive bluff]

yeah ive been seeing a few in the 30 range but i got a unique chest with 170+ es and evasion i think its called the paraiah or something which gives 50 so seeing as 61 is max i dont think imma find a better rare for a while yet XD

got it dropped on my warrior and only unique i kept lol came in handy at level 26

[granite totem]

There's a few chest pieces with spirit on if I remember correctly, very useful

Uniques I mean*

[cursive bluff]

only level 36 so not really traded yet

and unless the unique seems interesting i scrap for shards

not seen spirit at least on warrior/armour gear so kept that one only

[meager galleon]

yeah, spirit doesnt seem to be a common roll on chests, pretty sure i found like 1 during acts that had it

[granite totem]

I shard most uniques

Always trying to get orbs for stellers

Stellars* dunno which is the correct spelling

[cursive bluff]

i shard all but that 1 and another which may be good for a monk if i try

but thats just a stat stick one

[granite totem]

I keep one of each of the leveling uniques

And always looking for a 300% widowhail haha

[cursive bluff]

i look at all the ones the seer offers to see if any juicy gems

[hot ledge]

hey leveling up intelligence doesnt make you do more magic damage right

and how do i check how much damage im doing my staff always says 5-10

[cursive scarab]

That's likely your account, not character name.

[trim turret]

No. Attributes give small stat bonuses but are mostly for equipping things. And look in the skill screen for DPS.

Attacks use weapon damage as the base. So you always want to look for weapons with better damage.

There's also no such thing as magic damage. Skills are either attacks or spells, and can do any type of damage.

[cursive scarab]

Since you wonder about stats and why stat stackers exist... they usually are for Martial Builds, as Attackspeed is a dead stat on casters, but...

For mages, Int Stacking is mainly interesting as many use Energy Shield + Eldtrich Battery + Mind over Matter, turning Mana into a defensive Resource, and Int scales base Mana.

[hot ledge]

aye aye thank you

[hot ledge]

aye aye

does attack speed not scale with casters

im playing witch rn

[trim turret]

Cast speed scales spells, attack speed scales attacks.

Skill speed scales both.

[cursive scarab]

Also, for a rough estimate, use the DPS explanation at the skill in question. It does not list things like resistance strip, resistance penetration or shock effect, for those you need Path of Building, but it gives a rough estimate...

[hot ledge]

ohh i see it now

i was looking at the wrong thing the whole time

also do any of you know why my minimap resets whenever i log in again

and i have to reexplore everything

[cursive scarab]

That is normal

Every map is randomly generated

[hot ledge]

okay cool i thought i was bugging tf outta the game by exiting

(alt f4)

[cursive scarab]

Nope, it's by design

[hot ledge]

ohh that would explain why some things are different

[floral herald]

is alechemy orbs bad value?

[trim turret]

There also shouldn't be a huge need to clear zones multiple times unless you're not completing quests for some reason.

[cursive scarab]

First off: Your class does only dictate your ascendency. A witch can also use a quarterstaff, a crossbow or a big ass hammer just as any other class.
Secondly: There are attackspeed, castspeed and skillspeed that are relevant here. Attakcs are only for attacks, cast only for spells and skill for both

[cursive scarab]

They are no Exalted Orbs, as ex are the base currency for player trading, but they are useful to make rares as a new player

[floral herald]

so should i sell a white sapphire with ex or alch?

[cursive scarab]

White Sapphire rings are like 20ex due to the option to Orb of Chance them into Dream Fragment

[floral herald]

and ex are better than alch in terms of value

[cursive scarab]

Also, if you ever find white stellar amulets, keep those

[hot ledge]

bruh i got timed out for no reason

[cursive scarab]

Yes, 1 Ex = 4~5 Alch

[hot ledge]

aye aye

[floral herald]

thx

[hot ledge]

it was late last night so i hopped off mid map exploration

logged back on and everything was wonky

[cursive scarab]

Currency trading unlocks at Act 1 Cruel

[floral herald]

thanks

if i do find a white stellar how much does that goes for also the belt thing

[cursive scarab]

White Stellars go for half a divine orb ... so ~150ex

[floral herald]

what about heavy belts. also thanks

[obsidian acorn]

200+

[floral herald]

ex?

[obsidian acorn]

ex

[floral herald]

for just a white one.

[obsidian acorn]

yes

cus people use it to gamble

[floral herald]

daum thanks

pople do love gambling

[cursive scarab]

Yeah, because IF they win they multiply their investment by around 300

Astramentis, even the weakest failed ones, cost 230 divine, and 1 div = ~300ex, so...

[floral herald]

can you put runes in a corrupted item?

if it has a slot

[steel junco]

yes

[worthy pulsar]

Yo I'm new. Level 22. Just looking to team up for act 2. Knowledge is great.

[unique blade]

yo guys , wanna ask , if i speedrun campaign with friend that on endgame , so my lvl low , now lvl 16 and at act 2 cruel mode , do i go back and lvl or just finish it then ask friend to boost lvl after finish campaign? new character for me so idk

[steel junco]

its up to you on how to enjoy the game

[unique blade]

i mean, i got main character on endgame already , just wanna try diff character and class so isit possible to speedrun the campaign then ask friend to boost lvl?

[trim turret]

You get the most xp by being in areas close to your level so unless your friend is willing to help you clear lower level zones...

[trim turret]

#2┃looking-for-group

[steel junco]

you could get some cheap gears and just run thru it. wont be difficult i think

[unique blade]

ah i see , so cannot straight go to act 6 and boost there ya , i see i see okok ty btw

[fair ravine]

Hi, I have a question, how often are there sales in the in-game store? I already have a lot of stash and I wanted to buy some skins, If anyone knows the info I would be grateful

[trim turret]

In POE1 there are random things on sale I want to say daily and then wider spread sales every so often. Don't know how much of that has transferred to POE2 just yet.

[fair ravine]

Ahh I understand, thank you very much for the info, have a great day

[vague wagon]

so i started recently, currently lvl 13, and made a build using the spark+flame wall mainly as a sorc, this item should be rlly good for that right?

[topaz junco]

Decent for leveling sure

[vague wagon]

aight, ty

[near violet]

should try to replace with a wand or staff with +# to lightning skills/spell skills if you see one

[vague wagon]

okay, whats the difference between a wand and a staff?

[near violet]

staffs can roll higher stats than wands but you give up your offhand slot

wands + foci/sceptre/shield can give more stats overall than staffs by themselves

[vague wagon]

i see, thanks

[slow fern]

Question - do i want to run the trial of sekehma’s 4x asap? I did it once and unlocked a few passive points. Currently level 36

[final geyser]

Running it 4 times wouldn't do much for you, besides the loot from the rewards chests (and relics, I suppose). If you wanted to unlock more ascendancy points, you'd need to run higher level trials that have more floors. For now, it would be best to just continue through the campaign and increase your level.

[slow fern]

Ty! I was debating whether to buy a boost to unlock all my ascendency points

[oak wadi]

where can i see latest poe2 news ?

[silver rain]

Can anyone help me

Please explain to me

What the hell this was

[hollow gorge]

looks like chaos damage some corpse explosion or ground effect

[tired forge]

[tired anvil]

Can someone help me with my test of chaos

Sure

Assuming no one else has responded yet.

[tired forge]

Yes, I exited

You chose the slow heart and the turret, that is a very bad combination.

[tired anvil]

Will you select the penalties I recommend?

[tired anvil]

Yes

[tired forge]

OK, send new invite

[urban zodiac]

So how do I upgrade skills that says they're already equipped? Can I un equip them?

[cursive bluff]

as you play through the game you will get higher and higher level uncut skill gems which can take you from level 8 to level 9 to level 10 etc etc depending on your character level

[hard cypress]

When I "cut" higher level gems, there is an option to upgrade existing ones

[cursive bluff]

to unequip them press g or whatever the skills panel menu is on console then you just remove or add the skill/supports there

[urban zodiac]

Ah thanks mate! I've been kinda just winging it lol

[cursive bluff]

haha no problem. weapons can have a built in implicit skill (rattling scepter gives you 2 skele warriors for free) those skills only get higher level from finding that base weapon again at a later game state

[urban zodiac]

Ah that sounds dope.

[cursive bluff]

you can browse through #1019646743299764255 for the subclass channel you're using and get more specific help/advise pertaining to your char

[young magnet]

Can anyone help with act 2 final boss? I’m getting bodied

[cursive bluff]

#2┃looking-for-group

[trim turret]

How's your lightning res and are you standing behind the girl's shield during the sandstorm?

[umbral mauve]

I am at end game, I am getting slaughtered on Tier 1, redone my build, too poor to upgrade without running maps. Any advice?

[cursive bluff]

#2┃after-acts-help

[young magnet]

55% lightning res

[trim turret]

Not doing enough damage? Something in particular killing you?

[young magnet]

Im doing hardly any damage and im taking major hits. Every lightning bolt she throws that hits me takes most of my health bar

I know she’s weak to ice but my glacial bolts do nothing also

[sick sage]

Jamanra?

[young magnet]

Yeah

[sick sage]

U got help? I can help

[trim turret]

Glacial bolts aren't really damage dealers. They set up ice walls for enemies to hit and freeze themselves so you can hit them with something else while they're vulnerable.

[young magnet]

Permafrost bolts don’t do much either but they are at level 7 so that’s probably too weak

[young magnet]

Sure thanks. What’s your user?

[sick sage]

Priceraul

Loggin rn

[trim turret]

Permafrost bolts are again, great for freezing stuff. Skills like fragmentation rounds get a huge damage bonus against frozen enemies. Need to look for skill interactions like that or enable them via support gem.

[sick sage]

Ready

[young magnet]

Appreciate it. Legit felt like cheating tho lol

[sick sage]

Eh not really

You can try him with no help on cruel mode

[young magnet]

Sounds like torture

[trim turret]

By cruel you should have a build up and running and most people breeze through cruel unless they've messed something up. Cruel is just a stand in until they release the other three acts.

[hard cypress]

Jamanra on normal is a good gear / dps / mechanics check. I'd look at fixing the build before running into similar issues in act 3.
It is meant to be a longer fight than the previous bosses though

[craggy gyro]

wher is gemrot skull?

[trim turret]

How much spirit do you have from the campaign already? Did you already do it?

[hard cypress]

Assuming you only have 30 spirit extra from gear, you got everything from campaign and the icon is bugged

[craggy gyro]

I killed this boss earlier but he did nothing

[trim turret]

Yes and you only get 100 from the entire campaign, hence why I asked. How much of that is from gear?

[craggy gyro]

0

[hard cypress]

Do you have a scepter ?

Nvm looks like you have staff. Pretty sure you are getting extra spirit from some gear

[urban zodiac]

There any way to turn on quest markers? I can't find bruhs tools lol

[craggy gyro]

wand

[trim turret]

No, you're meant to explore. And the areas are randomly generated.

[hard cypress]

Any spirit on chest or amulet etc ?

[urban zodiac]

Ah well this gonna take a bit lol

[hard cypress]

Its like inside a hut, the tools

[craggy gyro]

I did not see on the amuleet

[hard cypress]

Think a checkpoint is near the hut entrance too

[craggy gyro]

So I just have a limit?

[trim turret]

If you have the salvage bench already the quest is bugged and you don't need to look for them.

[hard cypress]

You can get 100 spirit in total from the campaign, 30 in act 1, 30 in act 3, 40 in act 3 cruel

[trim turret]

Uh, yes? Did you think you could keep killing the boss for more?

[craggy gyro]

There was still an icon on the map to kill the boss so I thought it just didn't pass

[hard cypress]

Icons sometime bug out

For this one and others

[trim turret]

No just a display bug.

[brave canyon]

is anyone else lagging in game now

[slate copper]

Hi, i completed the witch hunt in grelwood, but the treasure icon is still there on the map. Is that a bug?

[trim turret]

Yes. If you killed her and got her quest items.

[slate copper]

What are here quest items?

[trim turret]

Killing the witch she drops an item to increase your max spirit and another item to take back to town. Green items are quest items.

[midnight atlas]

.

[fringe obsidian]

er, i thought the witch in grelwood was just a rare in a hut

and you get some potions from her. maybe I'm misremembering?

[trim turret]

Shit, got my witches confused.

[hard cypress]

Grelwood witch not the other one lol

She is the first rare most ppl run into and the one who completely wrecked by early monk

[fringe obsidian]

she has no quest items. momentary confusion. she's just a rare you can kill and she gives you some potions or something. maybe a skill gem

[trim turret]

Sorry, wrong witch. No quest items from her. Just kill her and in her hut there's a chest with some flasks. All totally optional.

Old man brain can't keep up.

[hard cypress]

Tbf we were just talking about the other one

[echo jay]

fellas, which npc offerrs u option to fuse essences or distilled

[urban zodiac]

So if I never played the 1st will I understand the story here or should I look up a summary?

[fringe obsidian]

yeah you'll understand it easily

there's a couple characters that show up and are from the first, but in a "oh hey I know that guy" kind of way

but if you don't know them it won't matter

[hard cypress]

Anyone other than hooded one ?

[fringe obsidian]

alva, doryani

[hard cypress]

I see

[fringe obsidian]

there may be more but Iiiiiii didn't notice

[trim turret]

The expedition NPCs are from POE1.

[fringe obsidian]

yeah sorry I guess I wasn't considering them characters

they're just loot boxes with legs

KNOW YOUr PLACE ROG

[strong wind]

Do, "allies in your presence" stack in groups. If say, my friends and I all have summoners and we all run allies in your presence increased damage on specters, will the minions get three stacks of the increased damage?

[fringe obsidian]

I think not.

[trim turret]

If I understand your question, the reforging bench.

[echo jay]

yes, I have to find treasures of utzal

[trim turret]

Depends on the exact wording of the mod, but I'd say maybe.

[strong wind]

Thanks, my friend is suggesting we make 3 summoner builds for fun and stack Allie in your presence buffs from weapons. I thought they probably wouldn't stack and maybe just the strongest allies in your presence damage increase would be applied..

[fringe obsidian]

Can you show the mod you're talking about. if it says something like "x% increased damager PER nearby ally" you'd get a stacking buff but if it's just "allies in your presence get a buff" not sure tbh

like everyone took that... yeah IDK

that's a weird one

[hard cypress]

I don't think your buddies minions are your allies

Your buddies are

I'm not 100% sure on this but would expect to behave this way

[fringe obsidian]

no but let's say you have 3 summoners. each summoner takes a node/mod/whatever that says "nearby allies gain 6% increased damage" then if each person stood near a summon, would that summon get 6% damage from each person or just a flat 6%

[strong wind]

I'm talking about this one: Prefix: "Allies in your Presence deal (25–34)% increased Damage"

[fringe obsidian]

yeah exactly. I think you may need to try it out sorry to say, but I'm leaning to it NOT stacking

[strong wind]

I'm thinking not stacking as well lol

[fringe obsidian]

yeah I feel like it would make summoner parties completely broken

[strong wind]

@hard cypress Minions do count as your allies, that I know

[hard cypress]

Ya I poked around, looks like all minions are your allies

Apologies

[fringe obsidian]

have 5 people in a party, receive 150% increased damage on all minions all the time

totems are also allies fun fact

[strong wind]

@fringe obsidian that was basically what my friend was going for. She always likes to run aurabots and supports, but the idea is likez what if we're all aurabots this time....with minions lol

[fringe obsidian]

Hey there are other things that work that blow my mind, so it wouldn't hurt to try, just don't get your hopes up lol

[quartz pagoda]

what's the red quest title mean?

[short hill]

hello guys , besides river hags are there any other instant death mechanics in campaign ?

[tired anvil]

Can anyone help us with Doryam?

[fringe obsidian]

i THINK the monkey boss is insta death. what's the river hag instant death?

[fringe obsidian]

that it's a very special quest. it'll let you ascend which gives you access to cool new powerful abilities

[gaunt arrow]

for a new character, if i can get a friend to speed teleport me through the campaign, i can finish all acts in very short time but i will be very low level. What is the best way to level this character (let's say level 5 after 6 acts)? or is it mandatory/much better to level up while doing acts?

[fringe obsidian]

you pretty much have to do the acts because your xp gain drops off if you're 5 levels above or below the area you're in

it's why (partially) it takes forever to level in the 90s

[tardy schooner]

Ign?

[trim turret]

You're getting help with nearly every boss. You just might need to work on your build a bit.

[wary seal]

dang, I hate Utzaal, I managed to kill most other bosses in act 3 cruel in seconds, but this one is driving me nuts again

[fringe obsidian]

Is that the big golem in the lava?

[slow fern]

are all maps randomized? ngl, getting pretty annoyed with running around a zone for 20 minutes to find the next zone to continue a quest

[fringe obsidian]

they're all procedural, so not quite random. each zone has an overriding rule that you can follow to help get through it faster, but we haven't had the game long enough to larn those rules for each zone

but having procedural maps is kind of a staple of this genre

[wary seal]

I meant Viper Napuatzi in Utzaal

[fringe obsidian]

oooooooh

[slow fern]

i like procedural but backtracking hella sucks

ty @fringe obsidian

[fringe obsidian]

np. wish I could be more help. in PoE1 all the zones are basically known, but this is a different animal

[opaque elk]

Does wuality on wand do anything?

[final geyser]

Quality on Wands and Staves affects the implicit Spell on the item.

[slow fern]

@fringe obsidian currently running around with my head cut off for these matlan waterways

[opaque elk]

Thank you
