The highest level place possible, going to area 5 levels lower than you will get exp penalty
Note that you can create new area instance by ctrl+click on way point or entry door, so you can fram endleasly if you wish to do so
Thanks for the information!
While you at it, check the world map see if there still side objections you missed (chest / skull icons that isnt crossed out yet), some give permanent bonus which are always important to grab.
I read up on that and I killed the guy that gives +30 spirit already
do we have act 4 to 6 yet?
not yet
(and no, no news about them for 0.2.0.)
what happens if i vaal orb a skill gem with quality lvl 20?
u can get lvl 21
are there any downsides...
Can level up or down, quality, slot increase or decrease and nothing
im scared 😭
Yeah, vaal is always a risk, typically it's 1of6 for the outcome you want
Yes, cause you can't quality afterwards
ohh ok
If you're aiming for top result, use lower level gem, quality's it to 20, get max slots, then hope vaal gives you +1 level. You can then upgrade the level afterwards
also i just got into endgame and is it possible to set my spark spell to a certain weapon
Yes, you can pick weapon 1 or 2
because i got sigil of power on 1
but when i use sigil it locks me into staff until i press x to swap it back
u have it only on that weapon cd
sigil of power is in ur 2h wand
its not a normal skill
On the skill/tooltip screen, click on spark, lower right corner shows I or II
Uncheck spark on the opposite weapon slot
can someone tell me why it says "requirements not met" when attempting to add a skill node to the passive skill tree?
usually, it means you didnt allocate any of the preceding node(s)
Yeah, it's pretty good utility function for automatic weapon swap, needs the right setup with the check boxes
make sure the UI is not tricking you into thinking you have a previous node allocated when you dont
sometimes the colours of the connecting lines can be decieving
im following a build guide and have every node that i should
Question, I am currently at the dreadnaught, but am level 27. Everything in there takes forever to die and just nukes me (level 31 area). Afaik I haven't skipped any content, am i forced to just grind to 31?
its pretty quick if you get to the ned of the dreadnought theres a guaranteed blue pack
basically kill blue pack respawn checkpoint repeat
It just takes me ages to kill those packs. So far through the cmapaign i havent had any issue and my gear is half decent. Was in the onbe puits bu that was also ust taking forever ot grind
Maybe ill just keep running into the dreadnaught i guess
ah nevermind you were right im just blind haha, thanks for the help.
yeah, they didnt make the best choices with the colours.
might get response somewhere but are some procedurally tier maps impossible to complete atm due to bugs?
can you still add a greater jew orb on a corrupt skill gem
can happen yes
damn 😦
damn :(
Sorry can't find the right channel to ask this.
Does the upcoming 0.2.0 update resets the economy similar to how a new league in poe1 do?
I haven't tried poe2 yet so It would be better for me to join on a fresh economy.
Honestly I don’t think it would considering its not a new league or anything and it’s just early access
They said new patch would come with economy reset
Unless they changed their mind about it since then, which would be quite surprising, you can expect a fresh new league
So I finished act 3 cruel. In the map section. I’m getting wiped out every single time. Usually getting one shot.
What am I doing wrong? Is there requirement to have more health/resistances/evasion immediately following the final boss?
Maps suck. It’s not you it’s the game.
could anyone help me with tier 4 acend? im level 31
Anyone knowledgable on magic jewels corrupted for adorn?? I need to know what jewels to firstly corrupt, what attributes i looking for, and whether to just corrupt everything then look?!?!
For selling obvs
For real? I kind of didn’t expect the difficulty spike after stomping act 3 cruel but it is harsh
It's mostly a skill check on your build, don't get discouraged though but altering your build or "fixing" it will help a lot
Ok. I’ll crack on. I can see why I suck tbh. I have -11% on a resistance. I also think I could kill Ads quicker
by the time around early-mid cruel you should have enough resources to max elemental resists,
dragging negative all the way finishing campaign is "brave", lets put it that way.
how many times you died so far
aside from resists, also make sure every piece of gear have life (50++) whenever possible
So should I prioritise resists over everything for a while?
My evasion as a ranger is around 73% fwiw
it's pretty much mandatory things to do since campaign, first two things to focus in defense aspect - resist and life
you are expected to max all elemental resists, at least some positive chaos res, and hopefully having at least 2k life when start mapping
as many things in POE, stuff are complicated - that's including that evasion percentage, it doesn't really means you evade by that amount
as hit change also depends on the monster and do not work against AoE & big slam
Ok this helps a lot, thank you.
It explains why I’m having the problems I am. I have something to work on now. Thanks
I have defensive uniques on that offer no extra resistance or life. So that would be 2 things I can change
I’ve got so much mana that can also get taken down a fair bit
unique isn't always good, they are not "legendary".
only use them if they provide stuff that otherwise not possible on rare item, and that ability must fits in your build to have tangible benefits
otherwise rare item is the focus, life + resist first, and must have movespeed on boot (up tp 30%)
understanding poe item is always the hardest aspect, takes time to learn, as the modifier pool are huge, and you need to understand what modifier to focus for your build.
it's not possible to be jack of all trade, you will feels weak and not effective if spread yourself too thin.
if you decide on something to build into, start focusing and stacking it. Not "investing" into it usually don't provide much benefits.
if you want to continue with stacking evasion, then you want every piece of gear to have high evasion rating, and also focus your passive tree on related aspects.
and that just the defensive half, of course there's also the offensive part...
Thank you. I know finding this out is part of the fun in game but it really helps me understand where I’m messing up. It’s fun though.
any tips for mektul forgemaster in act 3? using lvl ~32 monk w/ ice strike
trying to time my dodges but i still end up taking damage, do dodges actually have iframes or not?
Dodge rolls only let you avoid Strikes and Projectiles. Slams and similar AoEs cannot be dodge rolled, you have to get out of them to avoid damage.
oh
okay that makes a lot more sense, definitely dying when i try to dodge his jump slams and lava explosions
uhhh any tips for those considering im melee and i the roll distance isnt enough to get out of the aoe
roll is not faster than walking, that's one thing to take note
while they travel similar distance in the same time frame, the differences is rolling have fast initial dodge BUT you had to spend a bit of time to recover from the roll
so, in some cases and certain type of enemy skill - it is faster to just walk out of the way
and make sure your boot have 30% movespeed
30% for level 32 is a bit unlikely, but getting movement speed in general is a good idea.
25% should be doable, don't remember exactly at which point start to find 30% 🤔
dont think ive ever noticed a movespeed stat ever, but ill try to look for that then
also will trying to clear for my first ascendancy help or i can hold off
If you're at Act 3, you should easily be able to manage the Trial of the Sekhemas, so I'd definitely go for it.
gotcha
yeah ive kinda just kept pushing the acts, might be a good time to go back and get some of the optional bonuses/quests previously now
is there a list here somewhere for stuff to backtrack and get?
I would definitely recommend getting the various permanent buffs when you're in the area, especially if you've missed out on any of the passive points. You should have 10 weapon set passives around the point you are at.
There's a list on the wiki here: https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Quest_item#Books_of_Specialisation
I'm sure there's a nicer list somewhere else, but I'm not aware of it. You can also check the various icons on the world map, I don't believe they say what bonus you'll get from completing them (if any) but it can help confirm whether there are any encounters in prior zones that you missed.
Quest item is an item class for items related to quests; they may be required to progress the quest or a reward for completing a quest or objective, such as killing a specific unique enemy.
Quest items cannot be traded or placed in a stash. They can be dropped on the ground; if they lose the item by changing instances the player may be required ...
nice should be a start, thanks!
smells like a bug with the keeper of the trove hidden mod
not you
enemies can have a hidden mod thats called "keepers of the trove" that makes the whole pack drop the same item type
I've seen it happen before a few times, more than one enemy can drop the item, but once you pick up one, the rest go away.
meanwhile I farmed for an hour straight and that freaking quest item don't drop ._.
i see you took it all, no wonder...
sorry I missed this. I can eventually beat him, its just when the minions come, I cant aim at that and my character just agros colossus so I end up dying. Ill keep that in mind though but seeing that you message came in at 01.44 my time haha so I was asleep
I am struggling when the first boss summons the mist and the minions I just get surrounded and die. I am playing a witch any tips? I have gone back and gotten some better gear just not sure what I am missing on that end.
You shouldn't need to farm, clearing the map should guarantee the item.
Which boss ?
Ogrum
the final one in the act or atleast on the map, I have killed all other bosses on the map gotten their quest items, I have done all side quests.
Count Geodor ?
that guy
Clear wolves, dodge the count charge (iirc you hear a little howl)
Take Cold Resistance
that is what I cant find is any skills that give cold resist
Have you looked the Vendors if they have somrthing ?
If you manage to find a Sapphire Ring it might be very helpful to you
Yeah, I will double check the vendors thanks for the input
Do you feel lacking of dmg ? Or is it ok
i think its okay its not blasting him, but its steady
Great ! Then slightly better cold resistances and being careful with the charge be enough
sounds good, I am farming the boss in clearfall I had looked and saw she has a decent chance to drop the skill gem but no luck so far
Do you mean the optional boss right outside of town? Even if she has a higher chance to drop Uncut Gems, they would be level 1 or 2 at most, effectively useless for you
oh, did not know that
If you want to get Uncut Skill or Spirit Gems, you should be killing enemies and bosses at the highest level you can.
And also, Skills will not be giving you resistances to begin with, that's something you get gear for, such as the Sapphire Ring which has Cold Resistance as an implicit property.
You can get skills that lower resistance on enemies - Frost Bomb applies Cold Exposure, for instance - but there's no particular reason not to go for a higher level gem for that as well.
Gotcha, sorry first time really playing any PoE
Make sure you're checking blue gear also. A lot of people assume rares are automatically better. They aren't. You want life and resists on pretty much all non-weapon gear.
Disenchant and salvage gear for crafting currency, don't be afraid to throw a transmute or augment orb on an item to try and improve it, even grabbing the occasional white item to give that a shot. Save your exalted orbs when you get them.
Forgive me a question, if I may
What category does "Curses" fall into
And is there such thing as + X Levels to all curses?
Some Curses have a specific elemental tag, so it would be affected by +X levels to all Spell Skills of that element.
tyvm for the information : )
Sidekick
Overwolf works as well
I like sidekick, but I'm going to try overwolf and see the difference
Yeah I like overwolf better, just personal preference
It really doesn’t matter which one you use, at the end of the day they all do the same thing
True
I enjoy the overwolf overlay due to the trading tab you can use not sure if sidekick has that option
Bonjour à tous, je cherche un français qui aimerais refaire un personnage de zero avec moi, le jeu est trop difficile pour moi en solo
This is an English server but if you're having trouble with the campaign playing solo it means you probably need to improve your build and playstyle.
If you need help you can Dm me (im french)
Wont necessary start from scratch but can give u tips
@tight jungle thank you , i prefer play at 2
Oh :/ More of a solo player ^^'
#2┃looking-for-group U might find someone there maybe ?
perfect ! ty
You're still going to want to improve your build even if you're playing with someone.
Why are the symbols crossed out?
Already done I assume
Because you did them
Is there any content in poe 2 whare you can have fun playing in a team? as a casual player I don't have much fun when one team mate has to sit on his ass and wait if he dies early, in Poe 1 at least he could eat up the portals and continue with the team. And what are the portals for now? smoke breaks?
U dead u out
What is this?
Is anyone selling all 8 asc Point Runs ?
I cant beat Zalmaranth... Every time his minions come in, My character wont target them and will remain fixed on him. I have tried so many things including attack while not moving and nothing is working. And everytime I have gotten him down to at least 20% and in a flash, Im dead because of the minions and not being able to target them despite my cursor being on them.
Oke so I died from the freythorn boss, he pulsed aoe damage across the whole arena somehow?
It was hardcore, ill start over but is this a known bug
bit of a weird question. I'm leveling an alt using pillar stat stacking to get through campaign quickly. I'm using Jarngreiper to get around the stat requirements on my melee skills. However, when I try to level a skill gem it won't let me due to not having enough int. If I turn off gem carving restrictions it'll let me carve the gem, but it carves it as a NEW gem instead of leveling up the gem I'm already using. Is there any way around this problem?
does this also apply to me? or only my allies?
Only allies!
ah darn, it was wishful thinking. thank you
You are not your own Ally, so only Allies.
wanted to make sure
There is a unique item that allows those buffs to work on yourself, or was it a perk...
I don't know... I'm pretty new
what was the item?
chober chaber
Chober Chaber is a unique Leaden GreathammerLeaden GreathammerTwo Hand MacePhysical Damage: 58-78Critical Strike Chance: 5.00%Attacks per Second: 1.10Requires Level 33, 76 Str.
ah, ty
Ugh, I was too slow!
how do you roll new mods for this
Use a Regal Orb to make it Rare, if you want.
Magic items - blues - can only have 2 affixes on them. To get a third or more, you need to make it into a Rare using a Regal Orb, then you would be able to add 3 more affixes using Exalted Orbs. That being said, I wouldn't recommend sticking to that weapon, the Physical damage roll does literally nothing for you.
New mods? You don't. So that physical damage is doing nothing.
And what skills are you trying to use with that? Some skills using a weapon with no physical damage will result in very poor damage.
any suggestions for amulet annointment for infernal
cheap :p
#2┃after-acts-help for questions like that thanks
In HC, is there anything in the campaign that you come back to later? I know I've seen some over level before Chaos trial, or even before freythorne. What do yall overlevel, if anything?
But im still in campaign 
then you dont need to annoint an amulet
If u say so
honestly you shouldnt even have the things needed to annoint
Ok
I've just gotten to Viper Napuazti with my monk and I'm struggling with... well, basically everything. I'm basically having to chug flasks almost constantly to stay alive and it feels like it's taking too long for me to kill anything. My weapon and armor is basically on-level so far as I can tell (enemies aren't dropping stuff that's that much better) and I don't really have a way to upgrade the gear I have by much.
U follow any guide?
Nope. Most of the fun of ARPGs for me is trying to figure out builds by myself, since usually you don't really need a guide until endgame
to be able to clear, at least
(in my experience)
Do u use bell a lot?
no, because it doesn't synergize with anything else I do
Hmm u might try it cuz it helps a lot if u get swarmed and no enough dps
I'm mostly using Siphoning Strike for power charges, coupled with Lightning Flurry and Falling Thunder
with Charged Staff on basically as much uptime as I can get for as much damage as I can muster
You use herald of thunder/ice?
I don't have enough spirit for herald of thunder plus Ghost Dance plus the illusion dodge thing I've got
is Ghost Dance a meme option? I can't tell if it's good or if it's hot garbage
it seems like Herald of Thunder is mostly good for clearing but not for bossing, and while I've had a few problems with clearing, as long as I play cautious and don't sit in melee for too long I can make it happen. It's the bosses that are mostly giving me trouble
Especially all the ones with poison damage. I know I should be building chaos resist but I have literally no options that let me do that right now
Ye i don't think anyone uses that
alright guess I'll drop it then
I'm not using bell
You can even run double bells
I can make this work without using bell
It's good to know that that's a powerful option but I'm not going to go meta because one boss is giving me some problems
The fun for me is figuring out how to make things work without resorting to the most naturally powerful or optimal options
It's a puzzle to solve
And I don't think what I have right now is bad, I was mostly just wondering if there were any huge idiot mistakes I was making
like, it's good to know that Ghost Dance isn't worth it
Hello, can someone help me with an expanation or something via vc?
Just ask your question here
so i got Treefingers riveted mitts , but i still can't use the giant blood perk on them cause i'm short of 5 levels(28 strenght) there is a way to make that 5 atributes without going further in stor?
I'm lvl 33 btw
... is there a way to get 5 str without getting more str?
strength can roll as an explicit on all armour (equipment)
and as an implicit on amulets
otherwise, you need to get it on your tree.
it's also possible for you to roll the modifier "#% reduced Attribute Requirements" on your weapon
which would work, but only for that specific weapon.
got it
any1 have the best stat stacking monk build planner
anyone know why it says "reqirements not met" when attempting to input passive skill points?
it was lightning so the added lightning damage on the weapon was an upgrade for now, had some unique that gave perks based on every 5 str int dex so if i level up more later might be better
i mean if its not met it means you haven't reached that node yet, you might be overlooking a skill point somewhere and not seeing it
i dont know if thats the case here
i dont know if that helps?
might be to do with your weapon set 1 not having any more points and you trying to allocate there?
You've spent weapon set 1 points somewhere. If you're still trying to do that, you can't because you don't have any more. And you can't mix and match weapon set points with regular points on the same passive wheel.
fixed it thank you
is there a list somewhere with all the short commands to look as search for the merchants?
help
Inflation that's why
WTF, Level is capped at 40? D:
you what
WTF, Skill Gem Level is capped at 40? D:
yep
God DAMMIT
at that point, can scale other things
which summon does Pain Offering default target, i feel like i cant choose a summon thats not in the middle of everything, i dont want it to target whoevers in the middle of the chaos
Feels random. Whoever is close to you
sorry for asking here but allocated amulet can be changed?
I cant get passed the first boss
is there any news on when the new acts are coming
Why am i still getting notifications from the poe1 channel when i haven’t joined the channel and muted it on top???
I dont think so
Give it a try with common resources on a trash amulet
yes it can, if its corrupted though then it needs a resource which to my knowledge isnt in the game yet
Thx for the info !
OK, is it just me or is the key to beating the Arbiter not to avoid his AOE ring attack but to nuke him before he can use it?
The boss is hard if you have to do the mechanics , imagine that
If it is a mechanic, the fact the boss can be annihilated in 7 seconds makes the decision rather binary XD
Before being able to annihilate him you need a substantional dps 
Ig
I honestly dont think he is that tanky?
I mean he isnt king of Mist level, instakill the boss, fragile.
I mean, I havent yet been able to béat Pinacle bosses (i rush too much and get OS)
So idk about Arbiter but I assume it should be harder ?
If u can't explode the arbitor then don't run tier 4 cause u want respawns
But my top priority (besides MHW) is to get my 7th and 8th Boss Atlas point
To get the +1 lvl to boss maps
What is pinacle boss?
You mean Xesht and King of Mist?
Yea
Ahh OK.
To be fair I am using a fairly strong reaver minion build.
Which is very powerful vs Bosses.
I died stupidly by dashing into it
Arbiter I find is very glitchy
Terrain isnt my problem, but... projectiles hidden by the boss are
I just need to be cautious
70% of my death recently because I accidentally stood on fire while looting or afk and die wtihout me noticing.
I think I may just be incompetent.
This is the thing I care the most ; my positioning
Do u have all the points in arbiter?
No, I only defeated him twice so far.
So this may change.
U don't need the points unless u wanna farm him tbh
Sir, everything is about farming XD
Well of course all I do it's farm arbiter lol
This game is basically stardew valley where the plow is a medieval weapon.
How do you get enough fragments for this? XD
I can never find enough Citadels to loot.
Alva
I don't farm maps anymore
rgr, you are the Summit of the resource heirarchy essentially.
I am mainly farming breaches and deliriums.
I used to farm rituals then I'd buy the fragments and I got lucky on a few drops
Iv probly made 2k div from arbby so far
How do you even Survive in Ritual’s i get Crowed controlled so fast i have to Pause and log out before i die😳 ?
What class do you play ? Avoid stun build up on Ritual map maybe ?
Monk Invoker , Got a Stormweaver and a Deadeye that has got to Endgame but have not tried them in Maps yet 🤪
I Feel like for my personal toughts Ranged classes has an Advantage because your not in the Enemies face 😆
hey i got a question, how can i put mana regen on armour?
like do i need a special orb or is it just luck?
With the Monk, I have no trouble on Ritual. With CI, a lot of evasion and energy shield it works just fine
And yeah, as Monk avoid stun buildup especially for Ritual, Breaches and Delirium. More for Ritual as they're stacked
Check on poe2db -> Modifiers then Body Armour
To see all modifiers on Body Armour
And then you have Essences that can work if this line is available for it
Early on and for the most part, luck. You can't directly control what mods roll on items.
anyone wanna help run me through campaign on my new character its a bit boring solo XD
chears
Oh God
I just realised it
The reason everyone is using sniper minions, it has nothing to do with DPS and and survivability.
Its all to do with Fireflower
Making sure my radar isn't off... Forgemaster not worth it, right? Whole zone + boss for an uncut skill gem?
Maybe worth it in act 3 normal, but not cruel?
That sounds accurate. I think in normal it unlocks the recombination bench also.
I always do it just for the XP and to get rid of the quest.
does high velocity ammo apply the same bleed magnitude when consuming fully broken armour as without?
Ailments scale at least somewhat based on the damage of the hit. High velocity gets a very large damage bonus against broken armor so I'd imagine it would improve the bleed also.
Correct, although - and I could be wrong here - if you don't complete it on Normal, completing it on Cruel should unlock the bench too.
I think you're in the wrong channel. This isn't the campaign, nor are you new to the game.
I am not, I am making a very good recommendation to new players.
"Get a Loot Filter".
You can see a rough estimate of your dps on the skill screen, excluding certain stats.
Hi
Hi

I’m not able to help tonight anyway but if you still need some help tomorrow message me on discord
4am for me at the moment
Hey do the side quests and bosses that give passive points throughout the base campaign give the reward again when going through cruel?
Yeah, unless the one that gives +10 Spirit in Act 1
2*
Or 1... i forgot 
Gracias 👍
But the boss that gave you +10 Spirit wont give u another 10 in Cruel
It’s gotta be 2 because I full cleared act one
But the one that gives 30 will
There’s the king of the mists that gives 30 spirit though
You get 100 Spirit in the end of campaign
30 (base) + 10 (act 2) + 30 (KoM) + 30 (KoM cruel)
You get 30 from King in the Mists, 30 from Ignagduk the Bog Witch, and 40 from Cruel Ignagduk.
And you get nothing from Cruel King in the Mists.
hey guys so just finished act 3 cruel
and headed for end game.
somehow after i got to the temple wherein i can use waystones, I tped back to town
now the game saids I havent finished the campaign
you needs to tp back to the end town and do your first waystone there
will try thanx mate
having the same issue right now, started earlier. Still a thing. Refuse to buy a new gem and use perfects on it when this isn't my fault, I'd rather quit the game than go back to support for 3 months waiting for a response.
********If you are a console player and are having issues go to this forum and post a thread to inform ggg, the more Xbox posts there are the faster they will reply
me too
Hello, new player looking for some advice here. I find that dropped loot isn’t giving me much power, because I’m struggling to get my damage up. Is there something I should be doing to increase the power of my gear, especially weapons?
Sorry if it’s a silly question, I just find that good gear is really hard to come by
oh oops
that's normal, considering the vast scope of item modifier covers.
the first thing you need to do is identify what your build is about & what modifier benefits you, so you can focus into collecting those.
check the category tag of your skill gem is first step to identify their classification.
if im looking to buy those logbooks, do i just spam trade chat or can i buy em somewhere less annoyingly?
Trade chat is a good way to get scammed.
Also, probably a matter for the after-acts channel, given that Expedition doesn't appear in campaign (yet).
mb
S'yeahso.
So poe2's trade site seems to be full of...I don't know what... maybe it's wow's chinese gold market all over again? I can never get anyone to respond and most of the names are in chinese
Gotta scroll a bit. The cheapest items are usually being listed by price fixers that have no intention of selling.
How do you know if a listing is genuine or not? And has GGG made any statements about a fix for this? As it stands, everyone is playing SSF whether they want to or not 😛 (hyperbole, but not entirely inaccurate)
It's been like this in PoE1 for years, I don't think there's any easy solution to it unless they implement the instant buy-out system they had discussed prior to EA.
Hmm...i suppose my experience has been abnormal then. In PoE1 trade there were definitely some bad results, but maybe 1 out of every 4?? In PoE2 trade I've probably sent 50 messages and only one guy even bothered responding.
I'm just frustrated. I'll keep trying 🙂
It is also very late into the 'league', so many players may be less keen to trade than usual.
Right. I did read that an eco reset was upcoming. Maybe that will help
Who here is new Minion Player?
What is your question?
not a new player but a struggling one:)
yep i agree..
tf is a smoke cloud gonna do for me bruh 😭
can someone help me figure out why I keep dying constantly
the enemies here aren't dealing fire damage so I know that's not the problem. it's probably all the poison, but I can't really fix that because I have no way of getting chaos resist other than the one ring that I currently have on giving me 9%
and I melt even when enemies aren't dealing poison damage because I need to be in melee to deal damage but every time I close to melee I get blendered
the only way I have to survive is downing healing flasks constantly
and if I forget to hit the button every few seconds, or run out, I just die almost instantly
So to be clear, is the issue that when you put conductivity on enemies it doesn't do anything?
Because that's the intended behaviour
blasphemy counts towards curse limit
are monks just extremely squishy? am I playing wrong?
Chaos Inoculation + 3k5 es + 75% eva + grim feast + wind dancer
For the values it is "a standard" I might say, at least for energy shield
u got no elemental res and your defences (evasion and energyshield) are shitlow respectfully
if u can, zoom till endgame and then build proper gear bc levels and such
but elemental resistance is usually the big trigger
Didnt see the screen 
Did you read the smoke cloud description by hovering over it? It makes it harder for enemies to hit you. Makes evasion more effective.
Those resists will get ANY class killed. That also isn't a ton of evasion, and if you're running es/evasion hybrid gear I'd expect to see more ES.
Doesn’t change anything, i have a melee build
Im moving almost all of the time lmao
(+ I forgot it is new player chat here, so... my answer is way beyond the greatest)
What does that have to do with it? Melee builds can use evasion and avoid being hit.
still useless imo
then dont use it
uniques do something unique, that unique thing is not always good for you, but sometimes its build defining
Thats exactly what im doing 😂
For sure
In my case however im not really benefiting from it a lot
uniques are not like legendary items in other games where theyre always the best item
they simply do something that cannot normally be found on gear
yep
They are often either niche or broken, I guess its hard to balance ?
And some of those Who seems useless atm will surely benefit from further patches
If they were all well-rounded items there would be no reason to wear anything else and that is boring.
It all depends on the players preference lol
Like Ingenuity Belt ? 🤡
You dont actually have to use the item just cause its unique 😂
ingenuity is only as good as your rings
Yes, it is boring that all top tier expensive builds use ingenuity.
Yeah but this is the item u see evrywhere
but rings can do anything, so everyone can use ingen
I agree on that :/
it still depends on what the rings do
like you cant increase "cannot be frozen" by 80%
But I envoy seeing unique lines on unique items and telling myself it should be fun to play it
But my lack of knowledges is still big
no but u can increase the %max mana and mana regen from the dream frag youre bringing up
I see what youre talkking ablut... another unique that absolutely nobody plays 
fr
We also have comparatively very few uniques in game so far.
yee end game poe 2 is terrible
i think people sugar coat it alittle bit
I don't understand the endgame hate, but it's only because I'm new to this genre of games lol
It just received the least amount of dev time compared to the other major features and everyone is used to POE1's decade worth of content and quality of life.
Also true I'm also doing a hexblast build
That makes sense
I feel like already some lf them arent "uniques" stat wisely
They give something difficult or impossible to obtain in other places. I'd say that counts. There just needs to be more potential builds and content to make them worth using.
Yeah, that is what I hope for... like Thorns, Im curious what it could look like as a build in the future
ok what build are you playing
whats your life at? lightning res?
I'm not playing any build I'm just going blind with ranger
what are you getting one shot by? defensively those stats look fine
So just learn the bosses attack and doge?
thats part of it, but i dont think anything in that fight should be able to one shot you with those stats
unless youre getting swarmed by the insect things that might feel like a oneshot
altho thats just defenses, you said you had damage issues too
can you show your skill menu?
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get more except through passives, and right now I need pretty much all the passive points I have into damage because I'm not hitting very hard either
elemental resistances + life >>>>>>> evasion
people always tell me that my resists need to be better but outside grinding through dozens of random armorsets and burning all my crafting materials on getting 9% more fire resist I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get that
your low elemental resistances are the biggest problem with your stats, that negative fire res means you take more damage from enemies that do fire damage
I could have better fire resist but the enemies that are killing me aren't dealing fire damage
they're dealing poison damage and I have exactly zero options for increasing my chaos resist right now unless I full send into Chaos Inoculation which would torpedo my DPS and probably get me killed
poison itself shouldnt be a problem that early in the campaign
most enemies that inflict poison do mostly physical damage, which also hurts quite a lot, altho life/es is the only thing you can really do about that from top/right side tree builds
altho looking at your level i think this isnt about poison enemies in general, but about the viper boss specifically?
viper's giving me problems, yes.
but also the general enemies are giving me a hard time, too
almost all my gear has affixes that give life
with viper its really just about learning the fight, when to use your dodge
you can dodge through the spears
yeah, I've been picking up on that, but I've started to get the feeling that I'm just not doing things right
there was a boss earlier- the one you have to run from in that forge or whatever, and I literally couldn't get him down below half health before I ran out of space
if its general enemies in utzaal, the only thing i can really think of is to not let yourself get surrounded, especially by the big guys that spin with the swords
the forge boss is a damage check
I don't know if I'm experiencing difficulty curve or if I'm just not building right but it's starting to feel like I'm just doing things wrong- dying too quickly, killing too slowly
what are your skills?
(ignore the punch, I don't know what it's doing there and I don't use it, but I also don't need another skill slot)
the bell is the biggest single target damage thing on qstaff
yeah, so people have told me, but it doesn't really synergize at all with anything else I'm doing
I also don't have an Ascendancy but I'm not sure if that matters
Hear
your ascendancy is one of the biggest power ups you can get
I don't like any of the current Monk ascendancies though
and I don't really want to spec into something that only tangentially benefits my build when I can't undo it later
Tangentially...
Wrong.
You're doing nothing but leaving large amounts of build power on the table. You're using elemental skills and invoker is built for elemental damage.
thats what you have a choice between tho, theres no use waiting for the 3rd ascendancy which iirc the 3rd ascendancies are only going to be added on full release
We're giving you all the answers here. Get your ascendancy and improve your resists.
where your early access character will be stuck in an early access league, separate from full release leagues
Isn't Mercenary getting a new Ascendancy soon?
Yeah I dunno about 3rd not getting added until 1.0. But the rest of it, yes.
As far as resists go, I can go down to 0% chaos resist in exchange for boosting my fire resist, or go negative with ice resist to boost fire resist.
Also, what do you mean the bell doesn't synergize? You drop it, hit it with your lightning skills, it pulses massive amounts of lightning damage.
It's not either or. You should be striving to improve, at minimum, the three elemental resists.
so does chaos resist not matter as much? because the only available fire resist increase I have right now is a ring
Well it certainly won't go into the negative like the others.
chaos res isnt as important as elemental resists during the campaign
good to know
viper is the only enemy during the campaign that you might want chaos res for
I feel like I can probably just focus up and get through Viper if I clean up my build
where do I go to do the 3rd and 4tth trial?
You need to have the respective trial keys drop at the appropriate level. Think 3rd needs to be level 65.
I see... well ty
viper has a fire damage attack, which will hurt with negative fire res
oh that boiss is a nightmare
I wasn't super worried about that because I wasn't getting hit by the fire that much. it was the purple explosions after that were harder to dodge
thats the only chaos damage attack
other than her poison, I assume
and those guards doing their big poison stab spear thing
that I can mostly dodge now
well apart from the poison itself
but vipers poisons seem to come from pure phys damage attacks with a guaranteed poison
is there a good way to know when the poison is safe to walk on? I keep trying to avoid it and getting stuck in a corner
rather than most enemies that poison converting a portion of that phys damage into chaos damage
I need to join a guild anyone have one?
when it disappears
the chaos rain isnt a ground effect, after its landed its safe to walk through
okay new question: what's the most effective way to level?
and if I level, will the loot drops level with me? I'm trying to get access to Flicker Strike as quickly as possible.
loot drops are based on the area level
for no/minimum exp penalty you want to be -3 to 0 levels below the area level
if youre above or too many levels below the area level you start getting exp penalty
ok wow since when did my build get the ability to melt viper
I got her health down to 1/4 before she went immune
u should get orb of storm
just ban him
weird question but do you guys know where a lvl3 uncut skill gem is a definite drop (or is a reward) for act1? I know I get one somewhere (maybe after beating rust king) but I need 2 of them for race purposes
In regular AFAIK its not definite anywhere
I could be wrong
Does scattershot on Skeleton archers count as more gas arrows exploding when igniting, or is it still just one big cloud so I should take it off when facing bosses that don't spawn adds?
anyone want to help me figure out what quest i did finish for my campaign
I dont understand your question
like i finish all my quest in the game and it looks like i got all of the passive points and res but it still say
What is the Last thing u did in the campaign ?
Dont you have an active quest ?
nope all gone after beating doryani
And what did u try to do that makes the message appear ?
idk
Can u start a level 1 map ?
i have t15 but for some reason this char is stuck
in campagin
cuz i asume waking up at refugee ur in endgame
Look for gameplay where the Guy beats Doryani and accesses to endgame
Its long ago since I reached it so... idk what I rly did
about to jsut waste another 12 hour of my time again .-.
Hi guys
Just look the end of it 
Ooh oops wrong one
I just bought the EA
Should I just start after 0.2.0 since that is a reset?
Idk at all sorry 😦
Why'd it be a reset ? It is a standard league
okay didn't know that, no economy rest either?
It will constantly change. But if there a New league in POE2 they will economically be separated
As well as your stash and characters
DM for support
But, I don't want to play campaign 2 times again so soon
Then keep on playing standard league ; it wont disappear
Hi guys, I'm following a guide that tells me I can drop 2 bells with overabundance.
But when I actually play it, It does not allow me to drop 2 bells at once.
Do I have to slot 2 different bells in my skill slot?
Pretty sure you can drop 2 of the same bell using Overabundance, you just need to build up combo for the second one again, so it depends on what exactly the guide is recommending.
Hmm. I guess I just need to build a combo after I drop the first bell?
Because the guide has full number of skill slotted, I don't have enough space to slot another bell without giving up the other skills. Thank you!
Yes, when using Overabundance, you can build up combo again and use Tempest Bell again, resulting in two bells being placed.
overabundance still requires you to pay the requisite cost of casting the affected skill, including if that cost isn't just your mana pool ex. a combo-based ability like tempest bell
so you can use 2 but as the guy above said you still gotta build the combo for it
hello i wonder if anyone can answer this question please? When a new season starts and we all need to start from new character lvl 1 do all the stash tabs get emptied or will they still be full of stuff from teh season before?
They will be empty if you start a character in the new league. They will be full in the "standard" league
You will be able to switch freely between your characters. When the league ends it will merge with standard
There is no way to transfer items from standard to a new league though, no
Everything just moves to standard yeah
ok that's great thanks, i just didnt want to have to throw everything out
You don't "need" to start fresh though, you only need to do that if you want to play in the new league
^most people do
All your old characters and items stay playable, just in the standard server
Consider a league as a temporary new server
Idk if I’ve ever touched a standard character
The majority of people play each league and don't play standard, yes, but it's there for anyone who wants to
Anyone who isn't a typical arpg player isn't used to it
It’s funny going onto standard after a few leagues and seeing all the remove only tabs lol
Wonder if they’ll change that at all
how does this work
i got 3 crossbows in but it wont let me reforge how does this work
Are they all the same base item type, are they all identified?
are they the same rarity too?
same base type? same rarity?
sorrry new to the game i dont know how this part works
and when i say base type i mean like "bombard crossbow"
"bombard crossbow" and "advanced bombard crossbow" are different base types too
rarity is basically the colour of them
ohhhh
magic = blue, rare = yellow
ok so they have ti be the same in all 3
yes
"advanced dyad crossbow" and "dyad crossbow" are different basetypes
ssssshhh fuck ok i gotta be specific bet ight thanks brother
new sorry appreciate you
lol turned out to be shit anyways 😂
hey i got a problem with my second run of act 2 i cant get to the trials because the quest is still telling me to search traitors passage but i killed all the monsters, went through the whole map but it still tells me to search it
or how am i supposed to get the 3rd acssendary point?
that quest isnt supposed to exist in cruel acts
you get your 3rd ascension from a level 60+ trial of sekhemas or a level 75+ trial of chaos
so basically after the campaign
What are “leechers”
Is there like a trade system for artificer orbs? If not when should I even worry about trying to get additional slots?
People you party with:
Leechers will gain free exp
The host gains better drop rate because of being in a party
Once you get to cruel act 1, you unlock the currency exchange where you’ll be able to trade for artificer orbs
is this why people offer leechers spots for free? i always thought it sounded kinda weird that you'd get a free ride for essentially nothing
Yup. It’s a mutual exchange. The leechers get experience for literally doing nothing aside from staying alive thanks to the host having a ton of damage. The carry/host gets more and better drops that they can do w/e they want with. That’s why you may typically see addendums saying “don’t loot” or “only take X Y Z drops”
Not exactly new to game but want to make a sorceress and wondering if anyone as any recommendations for builds and possibly boost thru campaign
If you can just private message me discord servers have been glitching for me and closing discord on me
Maxroll should have some decent builds. Most people won't carry without getting paid ingame currency. Plus you'll likely end up underleveled.
spark firewall is delicious
check dms
i cant find this spell
because it isnt granted by a skill gem
it's granted by the stormweaver ascendancy
bruh
specifically the node tempest caller
When do I get access to the Bombard's Crossbow?
I'm level 36 rn in Act 3 and in the wiki says that it should start dropping around level 33
but I haven't gotten it yet
could be unlucky
no bc like srsly I spent 40k gold gambling for the bombard's crossbow I can't be this unlucky 😭
seems unwise to spend that hard if this is your first char
i think mine started dropping in like act 3
btw is selling all the rares I don't plan on using good? I just find the whole disenchant for regal shard thing dumb
not really useful ever
i stopped doing that in act 3 aswell
you get regal shards later as a drop anyways
okok and another thing
I'm following a build guide right for Witch Hunter Grenadier Merc but my uncle told me that Gemling Attribute Stacker is better and told me to js make a new char but does my stash carry over to that new char?
and any other stuff?
grenades are fine
ur uncle sucks if he's telling you to create a new char
just because gemling breaks the game with screenwide aoes
meanwhile grenades can basically do the same thing
THIS BE WHAT IM DOIN
timestamps:
0:00 intro
2:10 map demo
5:51 gems
11:12 passive tree
15:22 gear
Also I stream at https://www.twitch.tv/waggle if you're into that kind of thing : ^ )
oh he didn't tell me directly he told me to check out gemling attribute stacker and I thought it looked cool and asked if I could change ascensions and he said I couldn't and told me to create a new char if I wanted to
More gold is always good. Can gamble for stuff. So even if you don't disenchant for regals, selling for gold is a solid option too
I would admit that witchhunter is a little pale in comparision to gemling
the 10% explosion chance sometimes feels like 1% istg
also how do I increase my spirit?
I want to put support gems onto my uh
the skill things passive
the only way I found so far is the solar amulet I think
plus 10 spirit
you can get prefix spirit on amulet
armor is prefix spirit
some uniques have spirit
thats all I can think of right now
oh I see
maybe time lost gem with spirit increases
thats much later
ignaduk in act 3 has +30 perma spirit
are there also unique djinn baryas? or are they just tokens to the trials
I know theres a ultimatum that lets you invest divine to get more divine on trial complete
I think for sanctum its the relics you slot in
oh yeah what's div anyway? I read it a lot in global chat
ohhh
so gambling tokens
oh yeah I read somewhere that buffing physical damage on weapons doesn't do as much as buffing elemental or attack speed
does this apply on grenades?
I just looted a bombard's crossbow with 68% increased physical
Damage, conversion, modifiers, and critical strikes all play into a skill's displayed damage in path of exile 2, but the game doesn't explain how these modifiers stack. In this video we go through each of the mechanics and how they interact with one another to get a better understanding of damage overall
Twitch: https://twitch.tv/silentstil
Dis...
this might help
I think phys is more coveted but don't take it from me
even if your build is lightning based you can still get by with a strong fire/cold flat base
same with other elements
its just more optimal to get something like phys%, flat phys, and ele%
chaos and sanctum
how do I get orbs of chance I see it mentioned a lot in guides?
okay now I regret selling the 3 uniques I got in act 1
"1,000 gold is a lot of money :D" 💀
getting the big uniques is extremely slim chance anyway
so where should I go for specifically farming unique items?
theres probably a world where the money is more valuable
any unique can drop anywhere as far as I could tell
outside of the ones tied to specific things
oh like the fabled hands of smthn and action whatever
hands of wisdom and action*
?
yes
i just got path of exile 2
i have never played a singular path of exile game with zero friends to help me with, but it looked cool so i got it, and m0istcr1tikal was hyping the hell outta this game, any beginner guides or yt videos to start with?
ngl i would just jump in and play
if you have any questions, feel free to ask here
poe2 is a lot more friendly than poe1 in this regard
fair enough
i saw m0ist cr1tikals video on like the red orbs or wtv, when elon musk missed a very rare item
and i dont want that to happen to me 😭
where some guy said he had like hundreds of hours and only saw like 8 in his entire life or smthing
i dont wanna miss any super rare items
probably just musk being stupid
if you see any items called "divine orb" or "mirror of kalandra", pick them up and don't use them
that's probably all you need to know
alright
still waiting for the game to download, its like 87gb so its gonna take a while
basics - keep your weapon updated. use support gems wisely.
which is why i wanted to know if there was any like community recommended beginners guides to watch before starting, usually theres a few of those for games like these lol
get a lot of life on your gear. get resistances (cold/fire/lightning/chaos) on your gear, it is very imporant
get movement speed on your boots.
check vendors, pick up any "orbs" or small currency.
yeah movement sounds important
just because a given item is a unique (orange/brown border, special effects), it does not neccesarily mean it is good.
no, there are no bugs in this game.
affinity tabs, probably
i went to put like 500 exalt it wasnt increasing
ah
im guessing stats matter more
yes, it's very concrete. you want life and resistances, if it doesnt have those, be very suspicious.
for attack weapons, look for #increased physical damage, and # to # added physical/lightning/cold/fire damage, as well as #% increased attack speed
is there different classes
like mage warrior
is mage good cuz i like being mages in games
yes there are classes
also is there multiplayer co op if i wanted to get some friends in this game
a
yes, you can party up to 6 players at a time.
nice
i might buy path of exile for my buddy in brazil
for a caster, your #1 priority on weapons (wand or staff) is +# to level of all [lightning/cold/fire/physical/chaos] skills
stupid queston but whats the difference between a wand and a staff
look for #% increased spell damage, +# to maximum mana, and #% increased cast speed
is a wand just small stick, and staff is long stick
wand is 1 handed, staff is 2 handed
they are both caster weapons
and im guessing there different advantages in game
wand lets you use a focus on your offhand ( a focus is a caster shield)
ahhhh
okay i understand
makes sense to me
let me guess
staff is for maximum damage
and wand is more like dmg+support
tbh nobody uses staves right now, but yeah, thats supposed to be the idea
yeah
okay ile make a note of that
for your passive tree, you want to go for notables (medium sized ones) and not spend too much time on the small passive nodes
i got 2 dlc for free are they all cosmetic or do they offer in game bonuses
common new player mistake is to get too many of the small passives and not rush to the big ones
all cosmetic besides stash tabs
i see
stash tabs are storage and allow you to list items to trade
a
pay attention to the interactions of your skills and supports
for example, flame wall can add fire damage to projectiles that pass through it
fortress support makes flame wall cast in a circle to get your projectiles through it more consistently
stuff like that is how you build the most damage
no
amazing
almost never will your skills benefit enemies like that
anyway that's probably a good overview of the basics
yeah i understand a bit chunk but im sure ile understand more once the game finishes downloading
i also remember hearing about like a hardcore mode
where when u die u save file also gets deleted
well, your character gets sent to standard
i was kinda scared of that one
why would you be scared just dont do it 
oh also i forgot 2 important tips
ah
filters highlight good items and hide bad ones
sec
alrighty
click the first one (NeverSink-2semistr-PoE2)
and click follow
ima probably gonna have to save that until after my game is completely done downloaded or do i download it now and insert it later
its not a download
this is my progress rn
still can log in
do i make an account through that website
or do i make the account on steam game
my bad 💀
yes...im human
erm
oh.
hm
is it gonna automaticlaly make and sign me in when i open up the game on steam
or do i gotta make account then sign in on steam
tbh idk
or am i gonna connect the account
you could just wait to be safe
in case

oh...
its gonna be so slow cuz im downloading 2 things already
😭
only like 65mb
it's the passive tree
take a good look
well you dont have to now

I just bought a currency stash tab. I have 190 coins left. There are so many stash tab guides and I dont know what to get.
Someone tell me what I should spend 190 on. I'm currently at the end of act 1. I'll probably never be a super intense player but I would love advice on this.
Thanks.
I am probably on the casual side of things. Been playing for 3 weeks and at the end of act 1 (to tell you how often I'm playing).
Trying to grab them while they are on sale. I can always wait another 3 weeks, just wondering what I will "need" as I move into act 2.
get the map tab
This probably isn't super descriptive lol
quad tab is primo for dumping things that have potential for sell without spending the better half of your life thinking about its value
Premium quad stash?
yes
I think you can get all the "unique" tabs with the little seed coins buying ea gives you
essences aren't very strong right now so I suppose you could go without one
I could do gem and quad, which would leave me with 40 for the future
What is it that makes tempest flurry fly around the map super fast at higher levels?
+hand of wisdom and actin
+the atkspd per dex node on the tree
+the atkspd per accuracy node on the tree
I think the whole point of tempest flurry is mobility while you have persistents and other skills doing the heavy lifting with autobombing
choir of the storm type beat
Thanks
does this game have controller support on steam
uh what
i bought the game tho
@dusky burrow how do i redeem the key or whatever
also i need to make an account first
which ile do now
oh i just pushed ok and it just let me play?
is this cosmetic or does this affect ur class
@bright crane that is picking the class
Oh.
i wanna be a mage
which one do i pick
SORCERESS ON TOP
do you want to be an elemental spells kinda mage
also when the game releases, will i need get the game, is this early access and final release seperate, or will we get a discount or something
or necromancer kinda mage ?
hmmm
which one is this one
shes very pretty
so the red one is sorcerress
it should tell you when you click them
yes
yes
although i think npcs never really adress you directly
do u know the answer to this or nah
fair enough
game will be free to play on full release
standard right?
yes
oh
so we're paying for just early
yep
