[fringe obsidian]

that areas pretty linear though isn't it? you just keep pushing to the next lever

[slow fern]

i haven't even found the waterways yet :x

[final geyser]

They are accessed right next to the waypoint in the prior zone, where you put in the large soul core.

[fringe obsidian]

ooooh you're in the area before them? they're right at the waypoint but you have to hunt down a big soul core

[opaque elk]

I did nothing, wand is 20% quality

[slow fern]

i'm at the jungle ruins waypoint

[opaque elk]

that is at 0%

[final geyser]

You need to proceed onto the next zone, the Waterways aren't in that one.

[final geyser]

Hold alt while inspecting the tooltip, the quality effect should be shown at the bottom.

[opaque elk]

it says nothing about wand and shows nothing

I am guessing for now it's bugged.

[final geyser]

It is not.

At least, it does work with other Spells, so it would be strange for Power Siphon specifically to be bugged.

[opaque elk]

i have staff as my alt weapon let me test on it

[final geyser]

Okay, it's a visual bug, just checked with Chiming Staves and the area does go up, but it doesn't appear in the tooltip.

[opaque elk]

ahh, okay that makes sense.

Thank you for looking into it

[plain saddle]

Why can I not reserve Herald of Thunder?

Says not enough spirit, but I have 30?

[dusky burrow]

supports?

[plain saddle]

I have no other supports or things that require spirit.

[dusky burrow]

smth weird like no martial weapon equipped?

not sure if it's not any of the above

[proud kettle]

Right click on Herald of Thunder in your skill window to activate it

[hybrid star]

what does it say when you hover on the toggle icon?

[plain saddle]

It says not enough spirit, but I have 30 unused

[fringe obsidian]

supports increase spirit cost in some instances

[plain saddle]

Oh, Presicin adds 10 spirit. I see now.

Didn't know it worked like that

[final geyser]

Yeah, it's important to check the supports. Many of the ones for Spirit reservations will add a flat reservation cost to the skill.

Most other supports only have Cost Multiplier, which doesn't affect Spirit reservation, however.

[craggy gyro]

quick question do raging spirits count as undead minions?

[topaz junco]

No

[craggy gyro]

thx :)

[mystic valve]

havent played poe2 yet what build should I first try

[vapid spoke]

Whatever looks fun to you tbh

[mystic valve]

all looks kinda painful

[vapid spoke]

Painful? Wym

[mystic valve]

like nothing looks zoom zoom like poe1

[vapid spoke]

Idk what to tell ya then, it's new game🤷‍♂️

If Nothing looks fun then you might be out of luck :(

[mystic valve]

probably true

ty ❤️

[vapid spoke]

I think game is great so far but I never played poe1 so yeahhh

[mystic valve]

ya you cant compare its all g

[weak jasper]

at the high-end, builds are even more zoom zoom than poe1

tempest flurry gemling is very fast on just 20-50d budget

[mystic valve]

ty

[weak jasper]

(that said, it's a bad build to start from zero)

if you want good map blasters from zero, do like LA deadeye or spark storm or ice strike invoker (w/ flicker etc.)

[pulsar elm]

im playing full eva with some es, should i pick ailment threshold or stun threshold from the campaign buffs?

[woven glen]

i did this questes but stil showing?

[hard cypress]

The traitors passage is bugged in cruel, you can ignore it

[woven glen]

but i dont know where to go now

[hard cypress]

Find and activate additional Ancient Seals

Valley of titans

[woven glen]

alrdy did it :S

[topaz junco]

Open the map from the caravan

[hard cypress]

This is a side quest

There are more interactables in the map which are part of the main quest

[tropic nest]

Can someone be honest about this wands price please?

[burnt harbor]

1 regal shard

[craggy gyro]

Can you actually get this long coat jacket? because I haven't seen it spawn in yet and I'm nearly LVL 70

[celest brook]

Is it possible to join the same chaos trial if you suffered from a unexpected disconnection?

[unreal sphinx]

Hello there
What happens when you level up?
I mean like in D2 level was in the formula for hit chance, is it the same in Poe?

*character level

[worthy drum]

no, you gain base life and mana and passive tree point. what you want to spend the point on is up to your

[unreal sphinx]

Ah ok

[twin trellis]

is it possible to join someone whos a higher level to just exp farm ?

[glad grove]

Dont know where you got that screenshot from, but you can find all the available body armour base types here: https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Body_armour

Could also be a unique item.

[glad grove]

You can join higher level people, but they cant powerlevel you really no.

[unreal sphinx]

Also is there any website like basinwiki for d2 where you have all these mechanics explained in detail? I was looking and could only find things like level up fast lol

[glad grove]

There is a rappidly increasing xp penalty from being too far from a zones monster level.

[twin trellis]

got it thank you

[worthy drum]

hold alt and hover over the underlined text will give you brief explanation, that is mostly suffice
if you want much deeper stuff there poe2wiki.net

[unreal sphinx]

Got it thank you

[glad grove]

Maxroll.gg also has some great ressources like this one: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/defence-guide

[unreal sphinx]

Great that's what I was looking for

Ty all

[craggy gyro]

I have the unique version see how they are infact different that link you sent doesn't show the unique I have so that site needs an update on all the gear or it's just bad

[glad grove]

That wiki page has the base type for normal bases. Uniques have specific artworks.

I still need context on what armour you actually want and why.

[craggy gyro]

Not even all the unique artworks show up I had a look

[glad grove]

Is it just for its looks that you are looking for it?

[glad grove]

Correct. That wiki link I sent has 0 unique items on it. Those are on a different page of the wiki.

[craggy gyro]

I just want that long coat it looks badass and base Armor is better than unique stats I use the wax jacket cause it's the only Armor that doesn't look s#it really

[glad grove]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Clandestine_Jacket

[wary seal]

man I was breezing through act 3 cruel like nothing and then comes Utzaal and Aggorat and I come to a standstill... weird

[craggy gyro]

So it does exist I knew it! Lol I'm nearly LVL 70 and it still hasn't spawned in though 🙃

[glad grove]

Its an Evasion/ES Hybrid body armour.
Just as a heads up: Selecting your armour pieces by design is not the way to success though.

[craggy gyro]

Style over stats

[glad grove]

If you are using a loot filter it could be filtered out as its not the best base of its type.

[worthy drum]

can always skin transfer it (does that work in poe2 though, havent checked the store)

[craggy gyro]

Nah not really I use cosmetics for my other armor pieces so the stats aren't forfeited for style

[glad grove]

Those end of act areas do have a noticable spike in difficulty, its not just you.

[craggy gyro]

Would be amazing if poe had a transmogrification system so we can look exactly how we want and not forfeit stats

[wary seal]

in "normal" difficulty, I found the actual end boss of act 3 relatively easy again though, weird

[edgy cloud]

So I'm doing HCSSF blind, trying to do the safest possible things first. What would yall say is a greater risk of ending the run, Zalmarath or the first ascendancy trial? Which would you do first?

[worthy drum]

check the cash store if skin transfer function is there yet. if it isnt then i suppose they havent added that. It was in poe1.

i see some people have problem with act3 boss, though personally find it way easier than act1 and 2

[glad grove]

Zalmarath has quite telegrafed attacks. If you havent struggled with bosses leading up to there you should be alright.

[craggy gyro]

All comes down to your gear and if you use weapons with the god roled prefixes I had a LVL 20 crossbow that had plus projectile skills and over 100% physical attack and all the god roles it carried me to cruel mode and switched it for a LVL 50 but that 1 crossbow was great early game it lasted 30 lvls

[craggy gyro]

The very first main story boss at the mannor was aggressive as fuck and not gonna lie I struggled with him abit

[glad grove]

On the other hand its unlikely that you will die in the first ascendancy trial. Its more likely you will go to 0 honour (A second life pool in there) and shouldnt kill your HC char of.

[edgy cloud]

yeah damn I thought this would be the answer. I'm just scared because he killed my last character with a dagger strike one shot. I'm hoping this character has more EHP but I think I'm just gonna have to dodge/git gud

oh alright, yeah if the first ascendancy trial is less of a kill risk I might start there, I think first ascension on monk could get me more survivability hopefully

[verbal bone]

anyone on australian servers wanna party/rush me through the first acts up to the mysteriuous shade/finding the forge still only level 10

[stark reef]

i see a lot of "give aways" on reddit and such, has there been an announcement about a reset or any news of next patches or updates?

[glad grove]

#2┃looking-for-group

[glad grove]

Nope. If there are they will be in #old-game-news

[tropic flint]

??

[wind sequoia]

can you craft a new allocate on neck if theres already on on it?

[glad grove]

You can overwrite them later on, yeah.

[tropic flint]

why

i have the requires

but still cont ues it

[glad grove]

Huh. Certainly looks strange.

Also wouldnt know of something currently in the game that would prevent you from using helmets.

Can you equip other helmets or just not that one?

[trim turret]

The 25% increased attribute requirements displayed correctly on the item? I know there's an issue with that and Giants Blood.

[craggy gyro]

Can anyone help me out with these Armor chest pieces please they don't even have to have the best stats on them I just want them

[glad grove]

You can purchase them from other players through the tradesite. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard

[tired forge]

I just had audience with king, the battle was VERY anti-climactic 😛

[wary seal]

FINALLY found the Black Chambers

[eager bronze]

Anyone wanna team up for act 3 cruel. At apex of filth currently? Just wanted to lvl up with a group. Solo is getting boring lol

[wary seal]

what level are you?

[eager bronze]

62

[topaz chasm]

anyway to get detonating arrow to release faster?

im looking through support gems cant figure one oyut

[wary seal]

What's your in-game name?

no, I mean, your PoE2 in game name?

I think for now I'm just gonna grind that last level to get the campaign over with

[eager bronze]

Skiibydoo

[hard cypress]

Is there a way to see how many mana flask charges you have ?

[cursive bluff]

hover the flask itself

[hard cypress]

On console would be... ?

[cursive bluff]

75 charges

[hard cypress]

I meant more as I am using it for concotion throwing

[cursive bluff]

"currently has 75 charges" that will go up/down

[limber glacier]

Hi is the quest "Ascent to Power" bugged on act 2 cruel. I can't get rid of the quest travel to traitors pass . Iv cleared it 3 times and defeated Babaa

[hard cypress]

Its bugged, ignore it

What stats am I looking for in the bow for concoction throwing build ?

[limber glacier]

Can you make the quest disappear from the side

[wary seal]

thanks, you basically pulled me through, sorry I couldn't be of more help 😉

so now I'm in the "endgame" and have no clue, lol
I guess that's what the other channel is for...

[boreal hedge]

If anyone feels bad about their progress or skill, just know I witnessed someone completely crash out in global chat because he couldn't beat crowbell

[eager bronze]

Of course no problem

[eager bronze]

Lmk if you want to do maps

[wary seal]

I'm doing my first map alone right now

man, what happened, I was breezing through most of act 3 and now I feel like my character sucks completely

[topaz junco]

check your resistances

also if you're an attack based build, might be time for a weapon upgrade

[wary seal]

I already spent a lot of exalted on a bunch of resistance items

[topaz junco]

well you didnt need that much that early lol

what build?

[tough stratus]

@hard cypress +%physical and +level of projectile is a solid way to scale concoction

[wary seal]

no specific build, but mostly spark with critcal hits and Elemental Storm / Rain Dancer

[worthy drum]

elem/chaos res isnt everything, most damage are physical, and you need other mitigation + health pool to deal with that
stack some armor, use shield with high block chance, make sure every piece of gear have some life, eg : 50++, ideally 100++; there's almost no life % on tree, so stacking flat life is important

[lapis pike]

which mod is it to get more fragments to drop from citadel bosses? Is is waystone % or regular quantity % ?

[shadow rune]

someone can help me with lvls

I need to reach level 78 but I don't have anyone who can help me

[topaz junco]

dont quote me on this, but I'd assume waystone

[topaz junco]

#2┃looking-for-group

[wary seal]

stupid question: in endgame maps, can I town portal as often as I want or is that also forbidden?

[worthy drum]

6 portal, as long as you dont die

[topaz junco]

you can only enter a map 6 total times

[wary seal]

dang

[limber shell]

any tips for new player?

[worthy drum]

read everything

[topaz junco]

poe is a very literal game

so read everything, and carefully

[wary seal]

yay, map complete

[urban zodiac]

There a way to permanently turn the engraving tutorials dude off? Guys like a thousand times louder than anything else in my game lol

[wary seal]

so, basically, you have to defend certain rare bosses to "complete" a map, is that right?

[topaz junco]

"defeat" not defend lol, but yes

[wary seal]

right, sorry, my mind is in survival mode, lol

I die so easily

[limber shell]

do i need a guide for builds?

[topaz junco]

you can make your own, but its more likely you make some mistakes

[worthy drum]

early game not really, as long as you understood the mechanics & make sensible choices, it's doable
for much later late game however mix maxing is required so guide will be useful

[scarlet wadi]

Anyone can rush my new char, i am on act1. Ign is FighterMo

[chilly vault]

ahm so basically after normal chapter 3 i have to go through chapter1-3 again on cruel mode to be able to unlock endgame stuff?

[topaz junco]

yup

ah cool ty ty

[cursive scarab]

• Resistances are important.
• Layer your defenses.
• Ingame DPS is inaccurate, but still a first guidance.
• Don't be affraid to ask questions.

[keen wing]

hey yall, just got my first divine orb at level 61, im in act 3 hard mode and dont really know what im doing, never played a game like this before but i know divine are expensive asf rn, should i just trade it for a bunch of exhalted or sit on it for a while till i learn what and how to map

i will say my gear is not great rn

[cursive scarab]

It depends. I sold my first divine early to afford gear upgrades for mapping.
However, maybe talk with someone about some pitfalls and what gear best fits your character before pulling the trigger.

[keen wing]

doing infernalist rn but im strugglign to find/craft good gear adn getting currencies to buy stuff from trade site, im not sure if im gonna be able to finish act 3 cruel with my stuff rn, only have 23%fire, 26%lightning, 60%ice, 0%chaos, 24%armor

[twin sierra]

Im a new player and im having trouble figuring out how to properly build my passive tree. I'm using a sorceress and my main skills are spark, orb of storms and flame wall.

Most tutorials i see are for ice mage so I cant find a proper guide for passive tree. Do i have to change my main skills bc it looks like im in the wrong path lol

[craggy gyro]

is there a physical demon form build? I'd be interested in stacking health regen and resist and slapping fools with fire and poison/bleed lol

but prolly not as efficient as just spamming spells obviously lol

[fringe obsidian]

there's a guy on youtube named "animeprincess" who always plays spark

I bet if you look him up you'll find what you're looking for

[hard cypress]

Is there a bug where herald of ice just doesn't trigger or do shattering concoctions generally don't trigger them ? I've made sure they're turned on

[copper wave]

dropped poe 2 before maps, game feels too much like bad diablo at least in 6 months there might be poe 1 content

[twin sierra]

Nice thanks mate

[fringe obsidian]

there's poe 1 content in a week lol

[wary seal]

I don't follow any official guide, but I also use mainly spark, flamewall and orb of storms, it was amazing during act 3 cruel, but suddenly it fell off and I feel like my build is broken now

[novel oak]

Spark is actually a very popular sorcerer build, and there are plenty of build guides out there on YT or sites like Maxroll and mobalytics

[wary seal]

it worked great until I reached the end of act 3 cruel

[copper wave]

thank you for making my day

[fringe obsidian]

yeah the transition from campaign to maps is a little jarring right now, best thing to do for spells usually is get items that increase the spells level. it's a quick power boost. but I'd also recomend checking out animeprincess for spark stuff. he's very knowledgable about the skill since he's played it forever in poe 1

my next char may be a sparker...

[novel oak]

I feel like I've watched about 20 different videos about spark-weaver today. I've been focusing it today.

[fringe obsidian]

I'm still in the "just wing it!" stage of building and it's worked out so far

[wary seal]

yeah, I was just winging it too

have mostly relatively high cast speed and high critical chance and high spell damage

[fringe obsidian]

yeah but I've played poe 1 for 3000 hours so my winging it is a little more deliberate probably

there's definately a huge ass learning curve in these types of games

[wary seal]

definitely 😄

[stuck vigil]

is chronomancer even worth the try?

[fringe obsidian]

mathil just did a build that is incernate chronomancer I think

[novel oak]

They real Keystone ability is Archmage, it's 100 spirit, but amps your damage significantly when you build into mana.

[wary seal]

yeah, I wish I could use archmage, but I don't have enough mana

[craggy gyro]

I love maxxing out area of effect on spells just to see how big and detailed the effects are

also is there any way to zoom in the gameplay pov like you can on pc, on ps5?

I didnt see it in the settings

[tender heath]

help

[fringe obsidian]

you can change that at any time

p8ick the one you like most right now

[tender heath]

mana

[novel oak]

Flasks will serve you best in general.

[tender heath]

is there some list of all the permanent upgrades you can get?

like the 2 free skill point books or 30 spirit skulls

[fringe obsidian]

maxroll may have a list... not sure though

[novel oak]

Yeah there is, sec, lemme find it

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/permanent-stats-from-campaign

[tender heath]

yeah but its really old i might use game8's instead

[fringe obsidian]

well like... it hasn't changed

[novel oak]

Mm, it's almost certainly the exact same list.

[tender heath]

ok cool

it'd be a bit scary to trust dated info in a beta game but if you guys say it never changed then cool

[fringe obsidian]

nah that stuff is pretty locked in

[tender heath]

wait this only goes up to act 3

[fringe obsidian]

may change later but for now we good. honestly I'm getting a little frustrated waiting for a patch

[tender heath]

there are 6 acts in the game now right?

[fringe obsidian]

no there are 3, then you repeat them on cruel difficulty

full release will have 6

[tender heath]

ah makes sense

[azure pike]

if anyone needs help with endgame bosses lmk

[craggy gyro]

any way to zoom in pov on ps5?

[dusky osprey]

Which one is better

[novel oak]

So, you'll lose fire resistance and some armour if you equip the unique one. And you'll gain dex and a charm slot.

The charm slot isn't particularly worth it if you're still in the campaign.

[trim turret]

Life and resists is always the answer unless your build depends on something a unique gives.

[echo rivet]

Why is everyone giving away their builds and stuff

[dusky osprey]

I'm out of campaign. So keep the yellow

you cant group in ssf

[plucky ibex]

Like we can only use what we find that run

I know

i dont get it

[plucky ibex]

Im just trying to convey the concept

we roll fresh chars and can only use items we find on that run

[near violet]

They're saying play in trade and honestly restrict yourself

Has anyone got these jackets? they can give me as spares they don't have to be rare just not bricked! They haven't spawned in the vendors yet for me and I wanna see what they look like on my character

dress up?

you will find them eventually

keep on killing monsters

They look badass and I want them! Lol

uniques looks better

Are those even in the drop pool yet

I'm LVL 70 and they should be spawning in now but they don't and I'm too impatient im still rocking the waxed jacket

[near violet]

I think they're from the unreleased acts

Can the Act 2 shop give level 33 gear if you over level, or is it capped at 32?

u can try with finn

in act 1

or risu in act 2

on 2nd thought

definitely dont try it

it give lower level items

thought it scales with the level as well

[deep storm]

Is there a max to spirit.??

[clever geode]

as much as you can wear

100 from campaign

scepter

body armour

amulet

helm

[deep storm]

Okay, so my prob is. I have a chest and amulet with both +40 to spirit, plus the campaign amount, and the monk ancestry that gains spirit per energy/ evasion. But yet I only have 106

I should have over 200

[clever geode]

monk ancestry

read that

[deep storm]

Gain 1 spirit for every 6 energy shield on equipped body, and same for every 15 evasion.

[clever geode]

and?

[deep storm]

That's it, that's the node.?? Cannot gain spirit from equipment.?

[clever geode]

yeah

so

this is void

[pseudo adder]

Cmon ggg iam waiting for the new classes

so your armour is what stats

No I get it now thanks

[noble lynx]

what might cause people tryin to join me to be unable to port to me in utzall?

[hot ledge]

hey quick question

does cast speed mean witch's wand attack faster

or exclusively spell cast time

[noble lynx]

yep wands too

[steel ember]

Have they made it there on their own yet?

[hot ledge]

ty ty

[noble lynx]

yeah they had. im really quite confused. both of them were up to mapping i beliive

[steel ember]

Utzall is in the past right?

[noble lynx]

yep

[steel ember]

Have them travel to the area in their own games before trying to travel to you.

Likely some bs with being in the present vs past

[noble lynx]

yep i bet they need to come thru the time gate now that you mention it. hope thats what it is . i cant beat this viper lady to save my life

[steel ember]

Have you tried dealing more damage to her?

[boreal hedge]

For anyone on console, make sure you use the loot filter if you aren't lol. I didn't even realize console had one until 200+ hours in

[final geyser]

The implicit skill on Wands is also a Spell. Spellcaster weapons like Staves and Wands literally don't have any attacks associated with them.

[noble lynx]

i need new gear. need someone who can just stomp her. the shildman pioson volleys get me every time

[steel ember]

I’m just messing with you. If I was home I’d help

[noble lynx]

oh ok thanks np

[proud kettle]

Still need a hand?

[ebon knot]

hey guys i was wondering to aask,does block chanse get reduced like resistances per level?

[noble lynx]

thanks someone heled me. was the time thing afterall

[near garnet]

nope

[ebon knot]

oki doki

[cursive scarab]

No, block chance and other defenses like Evasion, ES and Armor do not get lowered, however enemies get more accurate or hits get stronger, which is why those other numbers scale as you level.

This time even Chaos Resistance is not lowered. 👍

[dim locust]

hey im new to the game and im on Mercenary in Act 2. right now im fighting Ekbab the ancient steed and im doing really low dmg to him. Im trying to upgrade/change my gear but idk how to, what stats i want on it etc. any advice?

[clever geode]

just dodge harder

[cursive scarab]

First off: most people explain their class by the defining skill/s (e.g. spark) or core identity (e.g. stat-stacker), not the base class name.
Second: did you already do your Ascendency?

[clever geode]

he is act 2

[dim locust]

my running Flash, Explosive and Gas Grenade
and for Ascendency i have no clue what that is

[cursive scarab]

Trials of Sekehma

[clever geode]

what are you dying to

[cursive scarab]

Basically a subclass you can unlock by beating an optional boss in the Traitor's Passage and then doing a dungeon.

[dim locust]

ooo sounds cool, ill try to do that then

[tired forge]

Talking about Utzall

[dim locust]

i since the fight takes long, i run out of hp and mana potions and kinda just get chipped down

[dim locust]

which would be better if u had to recommend one?

[foggy birch]

be a npc

and play gemling

like 99% of them

[clever geode]

[cursive scarab]

That was the moment she was stolen and saved to forever fight in Legion in PoE1.
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Legion

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Viper_Napuatzi

[cursive scarab]

Because IMO Legion is the better option, especially when it comes to defenses.

With all the max resists from supports and double stat effects.

Compared to PoE1, Culling strike is way weaker and only 5% more damage instead of 10% while bossing.

[tired forge]

Ahh nice!

Either this is best afterlife ever or worst afterlife ever, lol.

[cursive scarab]

I see it like Trayzn's little pokeballs from Warhammer 40k. 🤣

[gray spoke]

how many maps i need to play to join other players maps ?

[trim turret]

Your weapon you want as much flat damage on it as possible. If you have a mod on your weapon that is 35% increased physical damage, it applies to the damage local to that weapon (up top). Attacks use your weapon stats so it's important to keep your weapon up to date. On gear you want life and resists, and movement speed on boots. And you should make sure your skills synergize with each other in some way. For instance, with my merc I would lay oil grenades, then fire off flash grenades with devastate and Armour explosion, which would break their armor, cause an explosion that does damage, and ignite the oil for even more damage.

[slate copper]

Hi, What are the must buy stash tabs?

[frosty heart]

Where can I locate Beira of the Rotten Pack in Clearfell?

[trim turret]

Currency, upgrade a base tab to premium, the rest is a judgement call.

[trim turret]

Just somewhere in that zone. Her arena is pretty big so it's hard to miss.

[trim turret]

People will want a map tab eventually but it hasn't been added to the game yet.

[frosty heart]

Travelled the entire map already. Still can't find this boss.

[trim turret]

Cold witch looking boss.

Sure you haven't killed her already?

[slate copper]

would u recc the gem tab?

[frosty heart]

Won't the icon be crossed if I killed it already?

[trim turret]

It should be, but sometimes those are bugged. Did you use the quest item she dropped? May not cross off until you do that.

[trim turret]

It's not bad to have. Especially if you're going to do multiple characters per wipe and eventually league.

[frosty heart]

Yeah. It's with the item. I crossed it out now.

Thank you for help.

[vague wagon]

is it possible to remove a rune?

[cunning dragon]

Hey, is there some kind of a Rush guide to rush someone efficiently, like a list of to-do stuff one by one?

[novel wagon]

whens the next update for poe2 or did they forget about us

they overwatched us huh

[trim turret]

Not even close. Content takes time.

[novel wagon]

but noe poe1 content lol

[trim turret]

They can be overwritten.

[novel wagon]

that shit seems to be flying

[vague wagon]

aw okay

[trim turret]

Event with 19 new ascendancies next week.

Which was mostly things left on the cutting room floor that they had ready to go already.

[novel wagon]

cope

[trim turret]

No, just a basic understanding of gamedev.

[novel wagon]

im just saying last update was a hotfix 2 weeks ago and theyve managed to make 7 announcements on poe1? zero communication

but go on about your vast experience and understanding

continue mrscrotebag!

[trim turret]

Except for them telling us about 0.2 and how it's going to be a large update focused on build variety, balance, and endgame and will also include what they call a draw card, which likely means a new class or more of the campaign acts.

[novel wagon]

they share a population do these devs not understand that wtf

theyre literally gonna kill one game or the other

[trim turret]

You're welcome to that opinion but share it in an appropriate channel. This one is for helping new players.

[coarse socket]

is there something as scam repport comunity chat ?

[trim turret]

No. Trade at your own risk and don't ever use ingame chat to trade.

[coarse socket]

yeah i know was wondering if there is some place where ppl see scammers and can add them to blocklist

[boreal hedge]

Its still EA m8. Don't worry

[trim turret]

You can add them to your own personal blocklist. That's pretty much it.

[coarse socket]

all right

thanks man

[scarlet lake]

what classes would be good for me and my friend when starting out

[azure lava]

How is number of announcements an accurate metric for time spent on content development?

[novel wagon]

im not allowed to use this chat to argue homie

[azure lava]

Sorry, I didn't mean to necro this. I just got very blown away by that statement

My b

[elder pine]

Any build is pretty good some are good and great throughout the campaign and some come more online as you get better gear and stats in the late game. Ice strike Monk is pretty nasty but hard to get rolling if you dont know the game and Stormweaver Sorceress is pretty easy to get started and probably the best build out right now cause of the screen map clear. all builds have their pro and cons

depends on what you want your play style to be too. you can always make more then one character and try them out too

[scarlet lake]

gotchaa thank you!

[elder pine]

ofc welcome to the game

alot of friendly helpful people here

[trim turret]

It's very much about what you do with the class. Generically, find synergies between your skills (your own and maybe your friends also), get life and resists on gear, get movement speed on boots, and always look for better weapons.

[stuck copper]

I need some help leveling.

[cursive scarab]

You can join players in your party during campaign already after the tutorial, so your answer is: 1
For endgame maps, you need to finish act 3 on cruel ("new game plus") though.

[boreal hedge]

Hey bro. Wanna thank ya. It was partially your advice that kept me playing after my first rage quit. I went from dying to mobs easily on cruel to clearing t6 maps easily
(Ik t6 isn't that special, but I'm proud of me lol) so ty, man

[cursive scarab]

The biggest synergy, from my THEORETICAL experience, would be summoner + shock build. The summoner usually has powerful "allies within presence" effects while shock would boost both the shockers and the summon damage on enemies.

There are different shocker builds, be it lightning invoker, lightning arrow deadeye, or lightning based merc builds

[floral herald]

does the golden charm works i herd it was bugged

[obsidian gorge]

Is stacking dex and int good on my deadeye

[hot ledge]

which one should i choose

[obsidian gorge]

Grimfeast if u need survival

[cursive scarab]

Yes, due to HOWA in endgame.

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

[cursive scarab]

FYI, you can also use the supports "from other classes" as long as you meet the stat and weapon requirement

[trim turret]

Only if you're using attribute stacking gear/build.

[hot ledge]

thank you

[twin kraken]

there was a hotfix 4 days ago
there was a yap session 1 week ago

please use your brain, thank you

[fringe obsidian]

yap session?

generally curious about this

[twin kraken]

announcement where they said absolutely nothing useful

[fringe obsidian]

ooooooooooooooh right. yeah

[delicate heath]

Curious to know is blood mage or stormweaver better for crit base spark/cast builds?

Looking at ascendancy and you get more for crit out of bloodmage but rather someone with experience let me know 💀🤣

[pine idol]

am i supposed to just get level 2 > support gems from drops orrr??

[fringe obsidian]

yes

[pine idol]

bru

[sharp kraken]

[fringe obsidian]

As you progress they drop more and more

[pine idol]

is there a level req for when u get the drops

[fringe obsidian]

there is, you should start seeing them in a2

[sharp kraken]

Dont worry man, you will get enough soon.

[pine idol]

lol alright

[boreal hedge]

Yeah, but the game is set up in a way that you probably won't get skill gems out of your level through just drops

[pine idol]

im level 32 and have gotten zero so far is that normal

fresh act 3

[boreal hedge]

Like at all?

Or since the start of the act?

[fringe obsidian]

oh sorry. that's normal I just looked it up. a3 is when you start to see level 2 supports

and level 3 is further still into the game

[pine idol]

at all

[pine idol]

ohh

okay thanks

[fringe obsidian]

my b on the a2 thing

[pine idol]

algs

[boreal hedge]

My dumbass misunderstood support for skill

Yeah those are slightly rarer

But I'm pretty sure I have a ton of level 3's in my stash. I can check

[pine idol]

would that be the same for spirit

[fringe obsidian]

level 2 and 3 supports are a pretty huge power spike so they put them further in the game lol

[pine idol]

yeah fair

[fringe obsidian]

yeah basically as you progress higher and higher tiers of gems will drop

it goes all the way up to 20 for skill/spirit gems

although 20 is HYPER rare

[boreal hedge]

You want me to donate some to you or would you rather earn them on your own?

[pine idol]

nah its algg

ill js get them on my own

[boreal hedge]

Alright, shoot me a DM if you change your mind

[plain saddle]

Any tips on the Iron Count? He's effing insane lol, such a high spike in difficulty.

[boreal hedge]

They aren't being used

[pine idol]

ight thx bro

[fringe obsidian]

Keep moving and turn your sound up.

the fog state requires you to listen to him

also cold res is fairly good against him I t hink

[pine idol]

want me to join and help

[boreal hedge]

Is that the act 1 final boss? Don't remember the names too well

[pine idol]

i somehow hilled him w/o the fog spawning lol

[hard cypress]

The end of act bosses tend to be chunky and long fights compared to previous ones so far

[fringe obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/damage-thats-a-lot-of-damage-jon-tron-gif-13054497

[pine idol]

idek how much damage im supposed to be doing

lwk

but im pretty comfortable

[fringe obsidian]

well if you're killing bosses before they can phase you're doing great lol

[hard cypress]

I killed him super fast on my monk the first time but started seeing all kinds of new mechanics on the witch second time around lol

[fringe obsidian]

Yeah I found witch has a bit of ramp time in the campaign but she can be a total monster in maps

[pine idol]

yeah thats what im doing, monk build

i fought the act 1 final boss on merc build

took 10 years lol

[fringe obsidian]

Mmmmm merc is fun. although my merc is parked because I don't feel like buying a late game gear set and would rather just do campaign again lolol

[boreal hedge]

The damage on my first monk was awful because I split it between ice and thunder like an idiot

It was kinda cool using tempest flurry to freeze tho

[pine idol]

i have ice strike rn w charged staff

[hard cypress]

Charged staff.. ? For geonor ?

[pine idol]

i'm eventually gona move into a flicker strike build

[boreal hedge]

Yeah, ice strike hits pretty hard

[hard cypress]

Oh wait you're not the one who asked for help lol

[pine idol]

dud the herald of ice is so satisfying when it pops the whole screen lol

[hard cypress]

Freeze is prolly the best element since its a good defense as well

[boreal hedge]

I wanna try the other heralds so bad

Only used thunder so far

[hard cypress]

Ice herald to do thunder dmg + Thunder herald to do ice is on lot of builds now

[fringe obsidian]

Herald of ash is very fun on a witchhunter because between it and his built in body explosion ascendancy passive every skill can screen clear

[boreal hedge]

Damn, I was ahead of the curve

[pine idol]

yeah thats what my builds gna do later on

[boreal hedge]

With my bricked ass first character

[hard cypress]

lol

[boreal hedge]

Character was so bad I rage deleted it in the middle of cruel

[hard cypress]

Glad you came around and havin fun (hopefully) haha

[pine idol]

my character is currently my third (monk)

first two was ranger then merc

[boreal hedge]

Yeah, it finally clicked on attempt #2 lol

[fringe obsidian]

oh should get back to merc

[boreal hedge]

In endgame now having a blast

[fringe obsidian]

merc is stupid fun

[hard cypress]

Is it ? I started a merc and the whole reload thing made me drop in the first area lol

[pine idol]

idk i stopped merc cuz the reload was buggy asf, idk if it was js me

[pine idol]

lit lol

[fringe obsidian]

it takes some getting used

[pine idol]

i got to act 2 and stopped

[boreal hedge]

I've avoided merc, because I don't want the game to become a twin stick shooter

[fringe obsidian]

but you can basically play him like some crazy shooter man.

and with witchhunter and the 48 weapons swap passives you can do properly idiotic builds

[boreal hedge]

I want to do a minion monk for the lulz

[hard cypress]

I did find a "If you shoot recently, no need to reload" unique so might give it another go later. Running freeze concoction through campaign and its just literally a one button build

[fringe obsidian]

yeah that's a good one for the few levels

[hard cypress]

This would be insane fun if I had any decent creativity hehe.

[fringe obsidian]

my current merc build needs a gear update pretty bad, he's started dying a bit in t15 maps lol

but my 48 point dual ballista debuff into siege cascade rapid shot build is so much dumb fun

[hard cypress]

Trading is so broken lol, I finally looked at the trade site. My monk went from 250 evasion chest to 1000 evasion with a single exalt

[fringe obsidian]

yep lol

people who play ssf are a different breed

[boreal hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-go-gambling-gif-3937562841362806777

[pine idol]

omg im nuking bosses w tempest bell

[fringe obsidian]

poe 1 trading is even more nuts. it's easier to craft in that game so ssf better, but that also means that theres much more insane items on the trade sites

[hard cypress]

But it wasn't a super fun experience to have such a big power jump with like 6 exalts. I ended up using that as a "farm currency so other jobs can unga bunga" build now

[boreal hedge]

I want to commend you for being competent and actually taking time to learn the game. Someone I tried to help yesterday genuinely asked me if he should be taking gear into account...he was in cruel

[fringe obsidian]

oof

[sharp kraken]

I kinda agree with you but thats just because we are midseason-ish
You can get decent gear for cheap
If a season starts this is a lot different 🙂

[fringe obsidian]

this is true

[hard cypress]

Aaaah that makes sense

Since a lot of gear I am seeing now is mega cheap

[fringe obsidian]

mid season is the best time. all the semi decent gear costs virtually nothing

[sharp kraken]

yeah but good gear is 🚀 on the moon ^^

[boreal hedge]

Like when the Halloween store liquidates everything on November first?

Lol

[fringe obsidian]

yeah but "good" gear is not required to beat all the content.

[sharp kraken]

kinda xD

[sharp kraken]

yeah by far not

[fringe obsidian]

good gear is there for you to just eek out those last few arbiter of ash's per second of dps

[hard cypress]

The main thing I learnt is to just take one char to end game asap so you have lot of currencies. Much more fun doing a new job in campaign with gamba money and unga bunga exalts to play around with

[fringe obsidian]

100%

second character is always so fun because he's got all this broken corrupted leveling gear

and then count geonor comes down, says what dumbass you are for daring to fight him, and you promptly banish him to the shadow realm

[hard cypress]

Geonor "I AM RAVENOUS",
me "NOT AS MUCH AS ME"

[fringe obsidian]

yep! it's super noticeable on attack based characters

spell casters less so, but even having 1 million gold to gamble with can help them out

[boreal hedge]

Alternatively, pretending to be a chick in global to get free stuff works too

[plain saddle]

FW help with Manor+ boss Act 1

[boreal hedge]

Fuckin periods of invulnerable

There goes my +80xp map

[fringe obsidian]

yeah there's a few things that are really good at ripping characters

especially if you're playing a combo character that has to do set up and payoff

[hard cypress]

Any idea how much map stash tab would cost on a sale ? Trying to budget and buy some tabs

[pine idol]

u need help w boss?

[plain saddle]

Yeah, he's kicking my ass every time

[pine idol]

whats ur name

[plain saddle]

Vesstibelle

[pine idol]

oh my gosh ur eu servers lol

[topaz junco]

#2┃looking-for-group please

[topaz junco]

Also for next time, same thing please use #2┃looking-for-group

[boreal hedge]

What do you use?

I feel like I'm the only person who uses the Washington dc server that actually lives in Washington dc lmao

[plain saddle]

I know, but nobody there or in game cared at all.

[boreal hedge]

How did you word it in chat? Any time I ask for help in global I usually get it immediately

[cobalt marsh]

Whats (tabs) sould i speend my 240 ponits on (after buying curry tab)?

[hard cypress]

Gem tab is comfy

Premium tab for trading

[meager galleon]

currency and premium tab are rpimary

@cobalt marsh ^

gem tab is fine ish, but it kinda sucks for poe2 in its current form tbh

i would keep some points for a map tab when it comes

[mental needle]

Gem tab pretty good imo

Better than in poe1 for raw utility

The interface/functionality could use some work though

[plain saddle]

Looking for help with Act 1 boss

[boreal hedge]

I'm on now, if you still need help

[plain saddle]

No I got help in here finally, thanks

[solar minnow]

Ppl says act3 is really long, is it like 3-5hrs or more/less? (New player)

[strong wind]

Would anyone be able to give any tips on the best way to target farm a unique in ssf? I’m trying to get Trampletoe

[cobalt marsh]

what sould be better x6 premium or quad

[meager galleon]

you just need 1 premium for trading, dont buy more than that for now

if you really want you can get a quad instead, quads are premiums be default too, so they can be used for trading also

dont unneccessarily overbuy tabs, or you'll end up like me with like 30 tabs, 20 of which i dont use in leagues

[cobalt marsh]

im not (porbly) going to speend that muchg mony on tabs

[meager galleon]

jsut get 1-2 premiums for selling stuff, and dont get more tabs until you get to the point where the existing ones are full and you need more space

[cobalt marsh]

its just i have 240 points and the tabs are one seal

[meager galleon]

the sale happens every 3 weeks

points wont go anywhere

[cobalt marsh]

thats true i guse

[slow fern]

Almost done with campaign - is there a way to check that i’ve gotten all the bonus passive skill points?

[steel junco]

i cant seem to complete this quest

is it because some1 carried me before i started cruel campaigns?

[meager flower]

Do we know roughly when will the first league be launched in POE2? (aka, how much longer do we have with the early access packs)?

[craggy gyro]

A bug

[steel junco]

ah

ok

[hard cypress]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/permanent-buff

You should have 24 skill points in total from the campaign

[slow fern]

Is there a way to check i’ve done them all without double checking them all

[cursive scarab]

• Check the Campaign map
• Check that you visited each area (no gray ?)
• Check no missing encounter has a +

Shows some encounters with the +

The top mid one is a mistake.

As that has no +

[hard cypress]

And on the passive skill tree, top right shows the weapon skill points. It should be 24

[hard cypress]

Just be vary that the icons can sometime unfortunately get bugged and show as incomplete when you have them done. Could just try killing them again to make sure they ain't dropping anything new

[hot ledge]

uhhhhh i bought the currency tab

any else i should be buying

[hard cypress]

Premium tab for trading and extra space
Gem tab I found to be very comfy especially for a second run through of campaign, not strictly needed though

Sale happens roughly every three weeks so don't feel obligated to buy as much as possible this sale

[urban zodiac]

Any good way to grind for gear/Xp in act one? Count chockula is beating me badly

[hot ledge]

are they all premium now

i kinda cant tell

and i just blew 300 coins

[copper dust]

when did they nerf the shit out of rathbreaker?

came back after a bit and now no infinite hyenas spawning

I remember being frustrated about that before

[meager galleon]

poe has an xp penalty when you killing enemies whos lvl is too far from your own, so there really isnt a good way to grind xp without progressing cos at some point it just takes too much time up to you getting no xp at all

[tired forge]

Is it just me or is Mist King by far the weakest of the End Game events?

[trim turret]

Check vendors, use your crafting currencies, try to get a sapphire ring since cold res helps with that fight.

[rare seal]

Whenever I close the game and reopen it all the fog shrouding the map returns. Is this a bug or a feature? I'm on PC btw

[trim turret]

Zones are reset after you've left them for more than a few minutes.

[rare seal]

thanks

[urban zodiac]

Thanks mate! That the end of act 1?

[hard cypress]

Vendors refresh their stock every level up

If you're just entering a new act, its worth to go back to the previous act vendors to see what's up

[urban zodiac]

Do they only restock on level up or do they have like a refresh time?

[zenith skiff]

is there something better than sidekick for item price checking??

[hard cypress]

Only on level up as far as I know

The only other option to farm gear now is 1) Trade and buy if possible 2) Kill mobs in your last few zones and pray soemthing nice drops

[urban zodiac]

Ah ok. Last question but is there a way to make like inventory and what not text a Lil bigger? Have to get closer to my TV to see stats lol

[hard cypress]

I have no idea about text size sorry, maybe pc users can pitch in

[urban zodiac]

Ah ok thanks anyway

[versed cairn]

Does anyone know if skill speed affects dodge roll speed?

[summer robin]

how does this one work ?

[trim turret]

If an enemy is frozen and has elemental resistances higher than zero, they take damage from hits as though they are zero.

[trim turret]

No, dodge roll isn't a skill.

[summer robin]

which would mean that I don'T need any Overexposure right ?

[trim turret]

Well firstly do you have a source of exposure? Because that just improves it. And second exposure is still useful as it can make enemy resistances go into the negative.

[summer robin]

god this is so complicated

yes I do but the ''they take damage from hits as though they are zero'' applies before or after the exposure

I mean if a mob has 50% they go -30 for instance or go to 0% then -30

Oh ok mb ''hits'' means like dmg I guess not effects

[wary seal]

which one of these amulets is better? (I'm leaning to the +2 spell skills):

I could use the chaos resist, but I also can use the cold resist

and I don't need the +10 spirit

[trim turret]

Id take the spell levels.

[wary seal]

yeah, seems to also give more DPS in the spells overview

[trim turret]

More life, more total resists.

[wary seal]

right and I might forgo chaos for that one passive skill

btw: how do people "paste" their items into the PoE2 chat? I haven't figured that out yet

[trim turret]

Open chat, Ctrl+ALT+LClick

[wary seal]

ah, I have to click from the inventory... I had the item picked up already and actually tried Ctrl+Alt among many other things! thanks a lot! 😄

btw: funny story: I just tried to do a random act 2 map in the off chance I get a white amulet there (like I did one time before) and found a boss that I apparently never killed and it got me 2 passive skill points! 😄

[pine harbor]

hello, which chest would be better for a stormweaver? stormweaver thread is full and i cannot ask there

[wary seal]

they are both pretty bad I would say, but maybe the left, because it has spirit? if you need that?

[split kindle]

how do i get my elemental resistance up? is it just armor

[trim turret]

Getting resist mods on gear. Runes can also help fill in the gaps.

[split kindle]

i see

[trim turret]

Life and resists are the two most important stats on non-weapon gear.

[frigid stag]

hello if im starting the game brand new, what is the best guide I can look into for basics and character build options etc

[urban zodiac]

What's the best of the 3rd row mercenary skills for a beginner?

[small phoenix]

How can I move a stash tab to a folder? Cant find this anywhere

[trim turret]

That answer doesn't exist in a vacuum. It depends on the build you're going for.

[trim turret]

Maxroll has some new player guides. Just make sure they aren't endgame or twink guides. Make sure you're reading everything in game. Especially underlined words. Hold ALT and mouse over them.

[quiet bear]

Trying to get an idea of what just killed me. I was on the dreadnought, walking across one of those rope bridges. There are mobs on another cart but not directly hitting me in melee. As I walked across the bridge there's an explosion and I'm dead. Roughly 1600 hp/es.

Is it possible the corpse explosion animation wasn't on the screen due to the movement of the dreadnought?

[wary seal]

I had that happening to me too many times, no idea

I think I saw somewhere that these are really good for a specific lightning sorceress build, but not sure?

yeah, I found the video where they are mentioned, am I allowed to link a youtube link here?

[fluid arch]

Depends on if you’re trying to run cast on shock, if that piece gives u enough spirit for cast on shock then do that, if not other one is better for mana assuming you’re running CI and MoM

[limber shell]

Is there a keyboard bind to go to another place? I can't seem to click the clearfell or just nothing happens.

[proper birch]

have they fixed warrior and melee yet?

[wary seal]

so is there a rule against posting youtube links?

[granite totem]

What's wrong with it

[bleak yacht]

looking for help with act 2 if anyone wants to help me

[granite totem]

Do you mean advice or carry

[bleak yacht]

really just somone to run with

[urban zodiac]

Any good sites for builds? I use maxrolls for diablo but they don't have much for this

[granite totem]

Wrong channel, there's a looking for group channel, try there

[granite totem]

Tried mobalytics?

[urban zodiac]

Nope but gonna go there now lol. Thanks!

[bleak yacht]

oh i figured it was the campaign help channel is where i went if i wanted help running campaign

[granite totem]

It's generally for questions and advice

[bleak yacht]

gotcha

[bronze river]

Should I consider rage goad for spark sorceress? I’d have to get more red but wondering if the lightning damage

Picture with phone because can’t hit shift and print screen

[dusky burrow]

it does nothing

literally nothing for you

[bronze river]

Thought so, thank you

[dusky burrow]

except... light radius

but yeah the lightning damage is local to attacks with the weapon

same with the crit and such

[hardy sun]

Quarterstaff is melee style damage. Doesn't work with spells

[sour wave]

Random question. Why does a rattling scepter lv 10 need 10 strength if witch doesn’t need strength?

[granite totem]

They are heavy

[sour wave]

Will I need to buff strength to use better scepters?

[empty topaz]

Yes

As your level goes up so with the stats needed think the highest i needed was around 37-50 strength as a witch

[open nebula]

are the venom crypts supposed to not be highlighted, unlike every other location? it's not blue. I can walk to it and enter it though, and I've cleared the entire map but never found the Venom Draught (30% bonus to elemental ailment). maybe I missed a step?

[granite totem]

It doesn't have a waypoint if I remember correctly

[empty topaz]

Go thru jungle ruins

[granite totem]

Only areas with waypoints come up blue

[open nebula]

weird. i guess it's easy enough to get to via the jungle. gotta figure out how I missed the bonus venom draught though, I'll find a wiki for it...

[empty topaz]

Yeah it wont be complete until you kill that boss

[sour wave]

So I’m not at Poe vet, I’ve dabbled with Poe1 . For Poe 2, will I need to buff strength eventually on my minion witch even though int is her main stat and magic gear requires int as the main stat?

[granite totem]

Yup

If you go mi ion build

Minion*

You will probably get enough strength randomly from items

So you can always respec

[bleak yacht]

what is best way to increase spirit on monk build

[open nebula]

i cleared the Venom Crypts again. it sounds like Servi is supposed to give me a quest to get Venom from that Corpse in the middle of the crypts, but she never does, so the Corpse never gives me anything. wonder why I can't get that quest from her?

[bleak yacht]

how do i increase spirit on monk im only act 3

[hybrid star]

azak bog boss

[bleak yacht]

@hybrid star is that pretty early in act 3

[hybrid star]

Yeah it's around infested barren or jungle

[wintry sand]

how do i roll flasks without alteration orbs?

[mental needle]

Find a new flask

[solar minnow]

What is easiest build on newbie to beat campaign

[sacred agate]

Spark is pretty easy. Do you have access to uniques / funds to get some decent level gear?

Or is it your first runthrough

[hardy sun]

You might have an uncommon glitch? Game still has bugs

[hardy sun]

Lightning arrow, orb and rods is very effective. Simple to gear and creates solid dps loop for bosses

[solar minnow]

No funds

[solar minnow]

Ok tvanks 👍

[obsidian acorn]

spark is super easy

but yeah as a deadeye main thats also super easy and good

[gaunt sand]

Yep. Just put orb down and spam rod near orb. lightning arrow only for mobbing.

[dim locust]

hello! I saw a build i like and im trying to get the items, I saw a few of the items with Corrupted on it. What does that mean?

[meager galleon]

corruption is a mechanic that can make items better, or worse, or break them entirely

corrupted items cannot be further modified

while in acts you dont need to worry about that, corrupting items for power is an endgame thing when you can afford to replace them

[dim locust]

so im trying to get a pillar of the caged gods. should i get ones that are already corrupted or do i avoid them?

[dim locust]

gotcha

[meager galleon]

the overall rule is, dont corrupt anything you cant afford to lose

[dim locust]

makes sense, tysm for the help!

[plain saddle]

Were the bosses in PoE1 also such slugfests? Takes so damn long and now you only have 1 life flask.

[mental needle]

How long are they taking you?

[plain saddle]

Long enough that I get tired and run out of flask charges if they are the type to not spawn adds

[mental needle]

That shouldn't really be the case unless you're getting domed by every attack and your damage is decent

[plain saddle]

I Guess my ranger isn't that good at single target damage. Crowds are no problem

I also have no idea what benchmarks to use, I'm to new

[mental needle]

Assuming an OK build I'd say fights should be no longer than 2 minutes, probably shorter

What abilities are you using for bosses?

[plain saddle]

Oh it's longer than that for sure.

lvl 22

I'm at trails of corruption boss

[mental needle]

At level 22?

[plain saddle]

Yes

[mental needle]

Trial of Sekhema?

[plain saddle]

This guy after the third gate thing

[mental needle]

Can I see your bow

Looks like you're spread too thin on your support gems

[plain saddle]

Yeah maybe, I'm not used to this game yet, I'll take any help

I've tried to roll up newer bows of higher level, but this is the highest dps wise I can get

[mental needle]

Bow is OK but you'll want an upgrade soon, that's the right idea.

Do you have any spare uncut gems?

[plain saddle]

I have quite a few uncut skill gems

[mental needle]

Do you have any intelligence?

[plain saddle]

Yeah, I've gone for a evasive/energy shield hybrid,

[mental needle]

I would suggest cutting an orb of storms gem from the elemental tab. It's the best skill at proccing lightning rod for most of the game

Since it has so many inbuilt chains so often

If you have free support gems put chain support on it, for obvious reasons, and then if you have any more I'd suggest martial tempo and concentrated effect on lightning rod since you'll basically just be using it for bosses.

[plain saddle]

where are those supports? This is what i can see in my tab.

[azure lava]

Uncheck "show recommended" in the bottom

[mental needle]

Bottom left you can uncheck recommended

[azure lava]

Or click "all gems" in lower left

[mental needle]

There are a lot of supports

[plain saddle]

Well I'll be damned, that was news to me.

What a newbe trap 😄

[mental needle]

It's to stop people from getting overwhelmed

Some skills have pretty suspect recs though

Lightning rod is basically your safest bet for bow single target for levelling

It's just unfortunate lightning arrow is pretty damn mediocre at proccing it

[azure lava]

Yeah but don't use scattershot with lightning rod

Use #1326972100409426081

It lays out the gems I recommend

[trim ridge]

You need a better bow i think

[mental needle]

Byron graduated to hc?

What are you playing?

[azure lava]

In poe2 yeah

Corrupting cry str stacking gemling

[mental needle]

Hell yeah

[azure lava]

4.5k life in t3 maps

[mental needle]

Yeah gemling is silly

[azure lava]

Indeed. And I just pin everything and knock it back and press raise shield when anything remotely spicy is happening

[mental needle]

Atziris disdain and you'll be immortal

[azure lava]

And I have temp chains Enfeeble blasphemy auras. Pretty neat

[mental needle]

Yeah I had to do some serious work to run blasphemy on my warbringer

[azure lava]

Yeah just gotta find it (:

[mental needle]

Gemling makes it so easy

[azure lava]

Yeah, every node being str is silly

[mental needle]

It seems like it has a very good likelihood from chance orb

[azure lava]

Good to know!

Now the hard part: getting a white base

[mental needle]

Yeah they are rare

I think I'm 4/6 on gold circlets turning into atziris right now

Trying to get a good corrupt

[azure lava]

Oh, it needs 74 int to wear?

That's too rich for my blood

[mental needle]

What are you using for single target?

[azure lava]

Seismic cry (:

[mental needle]

Bruh

[azure lava]

I cannot use anything that builds stun

Or else seismic cry might stun

And then it goes on cd

So I'm only using corrupting cry and ball lighting+lightning warp for shocks

[mental needle]

You get a lot of incidental cooldown from just taking the good warcry nodes

So stunning a boss isn't the end of the world

[azure lava]

Yeah but then I can't spam 4 warcries a second

I have a system, don't worry

And it's not like anything else I did would do good damage unless it also scaled with strength

[mental needle]

The totem disrespect is crazy

[azure lava]

Oh, I also use dark effigy

Just for font of life

It doesn't shoot

(:

[mental needle]

Life is life

[azure lava]

It is known

I also rarely ever press dark effigy tho

Because I could just use like three more seismic cries and I get 2% of my life per cry

And dark effigy is made of paper without totem nodes

[mental needle]

My cc build i ended up running a sceptre main hand and swapping to totems for single target.

Only issue is how much life totems cost

But gemling solves that

[azure lava]

I'm also main hand scepter. Most of my gem slots are spirit gems

[mental needle]

Yeah I had blasphemy/presence/scav plate/time of need/grim feast/cannibalism/precision

[azure lava]

I don't have presence, scav, or precision

But I do have vitality and two curses on blasphemy

[mental needle]

Ended up with like 3k life 75 block 5k ES 90% armor before I retired him

Yeah I didn't path to curse keystone

[azure lava]

Damn. That's a lot of es

Oh, I also use the spirit gem for flask recovery and charge gain

[mental needle]

Precision doesn't do anything without totem

But I had crit sceptre and didn't do RT so it's actually a significant buff

[azure lava]

Yeah I don't see myself going the totem route unless I find a way to make them not stun

[mental needle]

They stun like crazy

[azure lava]

Yeah, that's a no from me dawg

[mental needle]

Like instant stun diff 4 bosses

(not pinnacles)

[azure lava]

I'm just gonna fly this hcssf gemling through maps until I die. Hopefully in time for legacy of phrecia

Then I make a new toon for 0.2

[mental needle]

I don't think I can bring myself to login to phrecia

Like it's cool but I don't really want to theory craft for a 1 time thing, not my jam

[azure lava]

It's not a one time thing, not for me anyway. I'm a big private league enjoyer

[mental needle]

I must play with the unwashed masses

A man of the people

[azure lava]

Private league can get pretty massive. Tho we are now somehow even further from #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help lmao

[mental needle]

Yeah I mean I have no inherent hate for private leagues, they just don't spark joy for the most part.

[plain saddle]

Yeah I haven't switched in a while, but I'm not getting any good mods while rolling higher level ones, and I've only gotten one artificers orb for socket, and I used it on my current weapon

[chilly vault]

i did temple of chaos on a level 60zone with 7 trials, how come i didnt get ascendancy points?

[weak jasper]

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

if you want 3rd set of points, you need 60+ sekhema (3 floor) or 75+ chaos (10 trial)

[obsidian acorn]

it has to say if you gain a point or not

you can hover over the item and it will tell you

[limber shell]

Is witch hunter really slow or Im lagging?

[azure lava]

there is nothing about witch hunter that affects your speed at all

[cunning falcon]

Is there a more effective way to reach support for PoE2? I’ve been waiting for two months on a reply.

[azure lava]

#old-game-news message

No. And don't make new tickets if you have been

[cunning falcon]

I thought so. Thanks.

[chilly vault]

ty, just got a barya that says im getting the points so im gonna do it 😄

about to end cruel campaign too

[tight radish]

Does the 135% dmg do anything lol

[steady shuttle]

Does anybody knows why all the sudden im being asked to verify my phone number in order to join voice channels in the server ?

[cursive scarab]

No, dead stat on cultist bow base.

[rare vault]

should i upgrade?

[craggy gyro]

can anyone tell me is gloves a amour or is it a material weapon if i put a rune in it

[runic bough]

the stormweaver starter lvling guide suggests that i use a support gem which requires 10 dex how do i get 10 dex if i dont skill attribute nodes until lvl 12??

[rugged tangle]

gear most likely

[runic bough]

i got the perfect gear unless i dont have any lvl 1 rings which give dex

i got all uniques and shit

but who in the hell has lvl 1 rings while you got a lvl 90 char

[rugged tangle]

its either that or the guide doesnt assume you take that gem until slightly higher lvl.... most starter guides dont specify at what level you should slot each gem/support

[cursive scarab]

Gloves are armor.

[craggy gyro]

can anyone help me with this idk where i find the 2nd piece

[wispy pecan]

Bone pit and keth i believe

[cursive scarab]

One in keth, one in mastodon graveyard

[craggy gyro]

sskk

[final geyser]

It's specifically the Bone Pits, I've never spotted it in the Mastodon Badlands.

[runic bough]

why do i have 7 dex and 7 str?

[cursive scarab]

Okay, my bad. 😅

[hard cosmos]

does anyone have a good/ best budget Gemling Stacker (staff) build?

[half vigil]

someone explain

what the hell does accuracy rating do for minions

also are the new classes released

??

[final geyser]

Accuracy rating affects their chance to hit with Attacks, same way that it works for player Attacks. It has no effect on spellcasting minions like Skeletal Frost/Storm Mages.
If you mean the class(es) that will be added with the next major update, we've only got a statement from Viperesque, a GGG developer, that Huntress is coming next. If you mean all classes that will be added over time, their names are listed in Trailer 3.

[half vigil]

i mean its been a while since ive played this game so is the druid classes added or not?

did they add any classes let me ask this

[final geyser]

No classes have been added since the initial release so far.

The next major update, 0.2, should have at least one, but we don't have a confirmed date for it yet.

[half vigil]

ok ok thank you

also is the accuracy gonna work on the skeletal bomb throwers?

[final geyser]

By the looks of it, their base bomb throw is an Attack, so it would work, but their Command skill is a Spell, so it would have no effect.

[half vigil]

oh okay thank you again

does this game have like player market where i can trade stuff? there are some items i really need

[cursive scarab]

Define Budget. I am happy with mine, but I think i outgrew the term 'budget' some time ago.
But the base is the same: grab Morir, grab HOWA, grab POTCG and grab passives with stats ٪ increases.

Helm can either be Black Sun for Offense or Atziris for defense.

Rest mainly rares, once you got money ingenuity + crazy breach rings.

[hard cosmos]

i have howa/ pillar / ingenuity / three dragons (not perfect rolls ofc) , about 2 divines and 1.6k exalted orbs

oh and i think decent breach rings at least for me

[clear crest]

I feel like .2 is gonna end next month

I feel annoyed

not

[cursive scarab]

I usually skip Three Dragons, using Gathering Storm to shock instead.

Only downside is less freeze, which weakens Herald of Ice.

And electrocute can also be used in the main skill to trigger combat frenzy.

[hard cosmos]

im going for this build and it says to use it so ill prbly keep it xd https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/tempest-flurry-gemling-legionnaire-build-guide

[cursive scarab]

Imo Herald of Thunder is better than Herald of Ice...

Since Herald of Ice only pops the killed eneny while thunder gives the next attacks the lightningbolts instead.

[hard cosmos]

do you by any chance have a better build link for that?

[tired forge]

So Citadels
They spawn after you complete every map in a tower's radii?

[cursive scarab]

No, they spawn randomly.

[tired forge]

OH phew.

[cursive scarab]

Watch for Lightbeams in the foggy area

[tired forge]

Because my strategy has been to move in one direction, I have only found one citadel far and I assumed I was doing something wrong.

[stuck vigil]

did u all think that a fire-themed sorcerer works?

[tired forge]

I must have completed 300 maps or so already

[cursive scarab]

No, cause my build I main on my Gemling right now is a Crossbow Build, can adapt it to staff later though

[hard cosmos]

damn unlucky (for me)

[half vigil]

WHERE DO I GET UNCUT SUPPORT GEMS 2

sorry for caps

[cursive scarab]

Market from players or around Act 3 I think

[half vigil]

im in act 3

[cursive scarab]

How far in? Reddit says they should start getting more common around Chimeral Wetlands.

[craggy gyro]

does anyone know how i can activate my skill "charged staff" idk what it means by "consume all power charges to infuse you quaterstaff"

[young tusk]

Is there anything that can add movement speed to an already rare boots?

[cursive scarab]

You need to get power charges via other skills first.
https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Power_charge

A combo many go for is Combat Frenzy + Catalyst Resonance to turn Frenzy into Power Charges.

[hybrid star]

resonance you mean?

[cursive scarab]

• If it has not 6 affixes: exalt and pray.
• If it has 6 affixes: Chaos and pray.
• If you don't want to change affixes: vaal and pray for 5% enchant.

[cursive scarab]

Yes, my bad

[young tusk]

Thank you, @cursive scarab

[craggy gyro]

how can i get more slots here?

[cursive scarab]

Jewelers orb

[craggy gyro]

how do i get them

[cursive scarab]

Drops, but the first one to get 3 slots is super cheap.

Get like 40 or something for 1ex

3 to 4 slot is like 20 ex.

And 4 to 5 slot is the expensive one.

[hard cypress]

There is a guaranteed drop in start of act 3 rare monster

For lesser jewelry orb

[cursive scarab]

Thanks, i don't know the guaranteed drops any more.

[lofty lily]

is it possible to get all ascend points with lvl 30?

[eager basin]

if you have access to the trial you can get all the points

[half vigil]

why do boobs have jiggle physics

[eager basin]

which ones, can't say I've ever noticed

[half vigil]

witch
