[bright crane]

goddammit

when release releases do we save our progress

or no

[meager galleon]

this game has a league/season system, and when it ends all chars and stash gets moved to standard and in the new season you need to make a new char and start from nothing

[bright crane]

wasd is better for combat?

[meager galleon]

when game releases all early access chars will be left in an early access kinda league

[bright crane]

whaaat

that kind of stucks

[meager galleon]

the leagues are usually about 3 months long

[bright crane]

dang

actually

thats not bad cuz i can try out all the classes

but it sucks not to keep certain save files

[meager galleon]

most players usually achieve what they want for the league in like half the time

and then take break until next league

[bright crane]

will it be this way in final release as well?

[meager galleon]

its not like that now

[bright crane]

what about the working class who dont game too often

[meager galleon]

it is plan for it to be the case in full release

also you can change wasd and mouse in options anytime

[bright crane]

but is wasd like the standard

like which is better

[meager galleon]

wasd was added for poe2

it wasnt in poe1

[bright crane]

so most ppl use mouse?

[meager galleon]

it is good, yeah

but i wouldnt call it standard

[bright crane]

ile do mouse for now

[meager galleon]

i think most ppl at least tried wasd since its new

[bright crane]

i used to play osu xd

is there subtitles

[meager galleon]

im a guy with a fulltime job too

[bright crane]

i cant see

this game is so dark

😭

[hardy sun]

Full time worker, wasd is the best

[meager galleon]

well try the scene brightness slider

but yeah, first couple of zones are quite dark

[hardy sun]

True, the darker maps are rough. Maybe i should increase brightness

[bright crane]

my monitor is very cheap

and doesnt have a brightness thing

like i cant adjust brightness

it also doesnt have a stero

i havent bought a stereo to connect to it

and idek if it COULD connect to a speaker

[meager galleon]

theres a brightness adjustment in the options

[bright crane]

im tryna find it rn

[meager galleon]

on the screen thats in your screenshot

scene brightness

[bright crane]

oh thanks

i want low graphics

oh medium is the lowest

no subtitles?

shouldent i have this on?

[hardy sun]

You've been playing in silence?

[bright crane]

no i got

bluetooth earbuds

[hardy sun]

Shows digital values full time, not critical but if you like it

[bright crane]

yeah i dont think theres any subtitles :(

[bright crane]

if i hover over someone will it show as well?

[meager galleon]

all stuff npcs say is also as text in chat

so there are subs by default

[bright crane]

you're right

i didnt notice

[hardy sun]

Yeah, it shows the numbers like when you hover over. Selecting that options permanently displays the numbers for life/mana

[bright crane]

btw

is there a windowed mode

so i dont have to fullscreen

[hardy sun]

Yes, I use windowed full screen

[bright crane]

there is

i hate full screening games

its cuz i get scared ima get my pc soft locked again from a fullscreen'd game

[meager galleon]

unusual prefference, but you do you

[bright crane]

playing really old games on pc fullscreened ive literally gotten soft locked before so i just never fullscreen any game

[bright crane]

yeah ik...

[hardy sun]

I swap screens a lot, so windowed mode is crucial for me

[bright crane]

me too

thats another thing

i like to music and game

[meager galleon]

theres also windowed fullscreen

which looks like fullscreen, but its just a window without a frame

[bright crane]

god i feel like a game journalist rn

im so shit at this game

[maiden flax]

I couldn't play games without windowed full screen, would be hell with multiple monitors

[bright crane]

i was trying to pick up the weapon by clicking the text 😭

i was clicking the box 😭

[hardy sun]

The hints are a trick, lol.

[meager galleon]

it takes a bit to learn the "language" of a new game, especially a complex one like poe2

[bright crane]

chat theres zombies im scared

[meager galleon]

theres are scarier things you'll have to kill later on

like eldritch gods

[bright crane]

i need help tbh

i actually cant use my spells

😭

hopefully a kind lad could asist me in a vc

[meager galleon]

sure i can jump in for a bit

[bitter nimbus]

Whats a good build to leveling to afterwards become a gemling legionnaire?

[pastel wave]

Oke so I got the Weirdest bug ever, when I unequip an amulet I lose so many stats that are not on it

Unequipped:

the amulet now has 14 dex/18 mana/12fire res

[hybrid star]

you lost the stats that was the requirement for your gloves and boots

[plain saddle]

I can't return to the Sekhmet trials through my portal. Is that a bug, intentional, or because all these other players are blocking it so the hitbox is weird?

[half vigil]

do we know when are they gonna drop new classes?

[maiden flax]

2 with the next major patch I think? I cant remember the details

[final geyser]

We have no explicit confirmation of this. We know that Huntress and Druid are going to be the next two classes added (not necessarily at the same time), and we know that Huntress is likely to be coming in 0.2 based on prior dev statements, but we don't know for sure beyond that.

[maiden flax]

Ah gotcha, yeah I have been pretty bad about tracking news, but I remembered the next two being mentioned and assumed

and then some new ascendancies too right?

[final geyser]

That part is confirmed from the recent teasers, yeah. I would guess the third ascendancy for each existing class is likely.

[leaden badger]

hey everyone, how do i know what optional quests/bosses i missed in previous acts? like is there a list/window somewhere?

[worthy drum]

on the world map if the icon appear around waypoints aren't dark crossed out then it's not completed yet

[west field]

Hey trying to get everythingon the map

forgotten riches? did the developer forget them? what am I missing?

[leaden badger]

does it have to say something like optional/side quest as well or as long as its lit theres something there i can get?

[final geyser]

Switch is right here

[west field]

thanks

[final geyser]

Press it and you'll be able to get some gold and chests.

[worthy drum]

all of the icons are optional side boss or a container/chest, although some of them give permanent bonus
you can look for list of those who give permanent bonus and just do those
personally just run them all, don't have the brain cell to remember which one have which one don;t. Doesn't take long anyway.

[leaden badger]

so these things in red are ones i skipped?

[worthy drum]

yea

[leaden badger]

gotcha guess i skipped a whole bunch

another thing, how exactly to charms work like do i need to have one of each ailment/resistance

or how do i decide which one/s to use

[worthy drum]

charm is basically automated flask, you can think of it that way. It trigger when you received specific type of damage or status condition.
it's not permanent - which is why they are kinda... mehhhhh....
just pick one that most useful for the situation, eg: poison immunity when fighting boss that does poison damage.
otherwise normally I just carry stunt charm or bleed charm

[brisk yew]

stun and freeze charms are popular

[west field]

Hey

Trying to unlock everything

mud borrow has no teleport point?

[final geyser]

It doesn't, it has a waypoint right outside of it in Clearfell.

[west field]

Then why the teleport point...

[final geyser]

It's not a teleport point, it's just an area marker.

[half vigil]

hello can someone explain to me how the chaos trails work?

cuz they seem much different than the trails in the act 2

[final geyser]

You go through a number of rooms, and have to pick an additional downside with each room you do. There's no Honour system, unlike Trial of the Sekhemas.

[half vigil]

oooh thats seems cool not gonna lie

i kinda hated the honour thing

ok but

one enemy doing 344 shield dmg and 854 with one swing

thats kinda

garbage game design

like how do i enjoy something when i get one shotted

unless its supposed to unenjoyable

[shut dome]

do i get spirit from freythorn on cruel?

[lament stone]

no

[west field]

Ohw

[final geyser]

There's currently a known crash that can occur after playing for a while, you can try switching to Vulcan, as that reportedly improves stability for some, or just re-enter the game and continue on.

[half vigil]

which one do yall think is better

[worthy drum]

both are eh, just use whichever benefit you the most at the moment, eg if you plays attack build, the first one will give you dps boost
otherwise second one for bit more life

[lament stone]

the one with life and resists

[half vigil]

ill take the one on the left mostly cuz it gives me more damage and its fire damage

which is like 90% of the dmg i do

[trim turret]

Complain about being one shotted, but don't equip the gear that gives life and resistances.

[half vigil]

im pretty sure having over 1k hp and charms that make me resistanc to specific damage type that the enemy dealt was enough for me to NOT get one shotted

[trim turret]

Charms kick in AFTER youve been hit and are temporary. So they don't prevent a one shot and don't change the fact that you always want to improve your life and resistances. What are your resists?

[umbral moon]

It’s a fact that in arpg you need max resist

Always

[trim turret]

And which act are you in?

[half vigil]

3

[trim turret]

3 normal? Yeah basically you want more of all of that. Armor, resists, life. If you have energy shield you want a way of recovering it in combat.

[trim turret]

Also what kind of build is this that you have 160 spirit? Are any of your spirit skills defensive in nature?

[half vigil]

well for energy shield i have those orbs that enemies/minions drop when they die

and it starts regenerating my shield when i pick it up

it can also go above the max limit i have of shield

[half vigil]

can we count skeletal warriors and flaming spirits as defensive

in my build 99% of the damage comes from my minions

[trim turret]

Then you definitely don't want the gloves that give damage to attacks, since that doesn't affect your minions.

[half vigil]

i use a lot of flame wall tho

[trim turret]

That's a good skill if you're using es. Yeah you want more life and resists. Having 25% of a resist when the cap is 75% means you're taking way more damage than you need to.

[trim turret]

...which isn't an attack.

[half vigil]

i have those 2 perks that make it a circle and spawn 2 more circles around the 1st one

[trim turret]

Flame wall is a spell.

[half vigil]

💔

makes sense

[worthy drum]

words means VERY specific things, dont make assumption. They means literally what they means.
if it say attack, it's literally attack.

[half vigil]

well id count throwing a fireball into someone as an attack while calling the fireball a spell

but i can see what you mean

[trim turret]

Gems say attack or spell on them.

[half vigil]

is 12.8 hp per second good tho

[trim turret]

For what?

[half vigil]

for a belt

[trim turret]

You want the 72 life.

Life and resists.

[worthy drum]

don't assume things, everything are written somewhere. Make decisions (passive tree / item mods) based on the tags shown on skill.

[trim turret]

Those are the most important stats on non-weapon gear.

[half vigil]

why are spirit gems level 2 so rare

[solid jay]

should i be using this now or wait until i get a good weapon

[topaz junco]

Use it now

You can deal with the points later

[trim turret]

The farther you go the higher tier things drop.

[trim turret]

They get added to your point pool. You also only use weapon points if you're planning on weapon set swapping.

[half vigil]

why cant i use small souls stones to open supply room

small soul core*

[eternal rock]

Anyone on who can help me thru the grim tangle I keep dying message for vc

[leaden badger]

how much spirit should we get from campaign/story alone? like not factoring items/skills?

[topaz junco]

100

[topaz junco]

you'll want to ask in #2┃looking-for-group

[pliant bolt]

Are grenades classified as projectiles or are they separate things?

I enchanted my bombard crossbow and it got plus 2 levels to projectile skills and I want to know if it affects my grenade skills

[topaz junco]

you can check on the skill itself if it has the projectile tag

[trim turret]

They have the projectile tag I think. Double check.

[trim turret]

Against the boss or just in general?

[eternal rock]

in general

[trim turret]

What are you using to do damage? Do you have life and/or resists on any of your gear?

[leaden badger]

is there a list somewhere for where to get the spirit? im doing act 6 just unlocked apex of filth and only have 60 right now

[final geyser]

30 from King in the Mists normal, 30 from Ignagduk normal, 40 from Cruel Ignagduk

But also it's on the wiki

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Spirit#Quest_Items

[leaden badger]

thanks!

just gotta get to the bog witch again then

[leaden badger]

is there a way to automatically use life/mana flasks? or only manually

[final geyser]

Only manually.

[elder pine]

could set it to the side button on your mouse for easier use

[leaden badger]

ah im using controller and the default layout is fine

[leaden badger]

is an increase rarity charm better than stun/frozen or i should stick with survivability instead

[hard fractal]

How can u maintain my charged staff keep on maximum power charge .

[trim turret]

I think the rarity one doesn't work well right now and if you're gonna go magic find it's better to get it on gear.

[leaden badger]

oh, guess ill stick with stun charm then

also i keep getting baryas/ultimatums with slightly diff level/trial values

are these like randomized versions of the trials and i just pick what i want to do?

[trim turret]

The trials are also side mechanics that you can just run for loot.

Even if they aren't going to give ascendancy points.

[trim turret]

People use combat frenzy and resonance.

[leaden badger]

ah never thought of that i expected people to just do it for ascendancy specifically

[trim turret]

Yeah they're known as Sanctum and Ultimatum in POE1 and are unrelated to ascendancy.

[pastel swift]

I just started, anyone wanna join up with me? Looking for teammates ⭐️

[trim turret]

#2┃looking-for-group

[west field]

First try semi win

What now? can I still get the buff item dropped?

OH NO I ALSO NEED A NEW INSTANCE AND RUN TROUGH IT

sad

[trim turret]

There's no specific item that drops from that boss.

[west field]

game lags like hell now

can you tell me why?

[west field]

I read online people struggled with the wolf on sorcerer

Why? I did find it easier tbh

[trim turret]

There's a lot of different ways to build characters. People play differently, choose different skills, get different loot drops.

[west field]

yeah, fair enough

[plain saddle]

Can you go back to normal after entering cruel?

[final geyser]

Yes

[radiant echo]

if your ping goes above 100ms the game freezes, might be why

try changing servers

[west field]

already at 100 ms?!?

[radiant echo]

its so that your character doesnt just die if you have a ping spike

[trim turret]

POE has to send a lot of information back and forth between client and server. Make sure you're on the best gateway possible and on a wired connection.

[hard blade]

I was close I almost got it I was using my potions at the right time used the mana regeneration I used the life on hit too to save hp potions

Now I have to do it all over again 😔

[plain saddle]

Yeah that boss is one of the hardest. For me he was the first real bump in the road if you didn't have the right stuff. Only the last boss of act 3 gave me similar problems. Stock up on lightning resistance if you can. You can also dodge through the spikes the portals spawn to get away from the tornadoes.

[timber viper]

The thing I like is if a boss is kicking your butt you can spend gold to reconsider your life choices to.help you beat them easier 😂

If anyone needs build help/ suggestions hmu

[alpine silo]

do ''adds x damage to attacks'' modifiers on equipment affect minion attacks?

[dusky burrow]

no

the modifier must mention minions / allies

[alpine silo]

the reason i ask is because it is listed in the dps menu of the minions

[dusky burrow]

does it affect the basic attack tab

[alpine silo]

yes

[dusky burrow]

does it affect the overall tooltip dps

[alpine silo]

this is skeleton warriors from scepter, so it doesn't list any dps

[dusky burrow]

regardless unless it mentions minions/allies specifically, it cannot affect minions

so idk what the display is saying, it can be weird

[final geyser]

Some of the minion UI is still WIP, so if flat damage to attacks is shown to be added there, it's likely just a bug or error of some kind. The golden rule of PoE is that Minion stats are separate, and unless something specifies Minions or Allies, it won't affect them.

[alpine silo]

alright noted. thanks for the info!

[hard blade]

Worst 3 hours of my life trying this boss but I did it🎉

Should i be setting these images as spoilers?

[dusky burrow]

no, it doesnt count as a spoiler

[hard blade]

What should I start doing before going into cruel acts since I'm in act 3. cap resistance?

[worn maple]

3 hours?

[tight radish]

is using a bow for stormweaver better than using a wand

[dusky burrow]

not

really

[brittle lagoon]

What class do yall think is best for a fast and easy run through the base acts 1-3? Tryna unlock currency exchange

[dusky burrow]

technically warrior is the best for racing 1-3

2h mace + perfect strike is really strong bossing

[brittle lagoon]

Aight cool

That’s what I’m running rn that’s good to know

[tight radish]

so this build is not very good?

[dusky burrow]

its just not neccesarily better than using a wand

didnt say it wasnt good

didnt say it wasnt a viable option

you can pob it yourself and check

[brittle lagoon]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t wands usually better because of the “+x to level of X skills”?

Like +x to level of lightning spells

[dusky burrow]

quiver can roll + to proj skills

[brittle lagoon]

True dat

[dusky burrow]

and widowhail boosts that

so it's competitive

but ive never seen a high end or mirror tier pob use it

so probably not the best at the high end

[brittle lagoon]

Makes sense

Idk my personal fav class was always witch

For the ease of it but it ain’t too impressive for a lot of the game

[leaden badger]

so im trying to use a chance orb on normal items but i keep getting "item cannot increase in rarity"? am i doing something wrong

[alpine silo]

so Immolate says i can place it on Infernal hound, but says that the skill cannot ignite anymore in exchange for more damage against ignited enemies, does this apply to his melee attacks alone or also his aura?

[dusky burrow]

that specific base type has no unique

so theres no unique it could possibly trn into

[leaden badger]

oh thought it can just turn into any unique of that item slot

well i just tried it on a ring and poof gone

[dusky burrow]

no, only of the same base type

[alpine silo]

yo a guy called Justsmall send me a friend request without ever having talked in this server (only mutual server), idk if its me, but thats a bit suspicious

[dusky burrow]

you can report it to modmail if you like

or accept and see what they say

[alpine silo]

his account is also made today

couldn't be more suspicious if you ask me

[dusky burrow]

yeah i'll make a note of it

[alpine silo]

i did message him, but he doesn't respond

[tight radish]

someone help kill jamanra

[alpine silo]

btw is there any way to level up the infernal hound? or only + minion levels on equipment?

[alpine silo]

i have no idea what ''divs astra tempo'' even means lol

[dusky burrow]

divines, astramentis, temporalis

[trim turret]

Leveling up your character levels ascendancy skills.

[dusky burrow]

but yeah we're banning that

[alpine silo]

thanks!

[trim turret]

#2┃looking-for-group

[tight radish]

alr killed him

[pine portal]

TIL that a mini-boss that kills my Warrior in a single hit (Silverfist) can also camp my respawn. 4 deaths later, I quit playing. Maybe I'll have better luck in a new instance.

[hardy sun]

Only 4 deaths?

They nerfed him, used to be more deadly

[pine portal]

Oh, I haven't beat him yet. I just stopped that session after 4. I was too angry to keep playing.

[trail ridge]

welp, i think i softlocked myself out of trial of sekhemas. i killed balbala first time in act 2 and didnt pick up the green invitation. then when i realised later i went back killed him again and he didnt drop it i then went to cruel killed him again no drop. i then went back to normal act 2 killed him and again no drop. anyone able to help with this? i tried looking on the internet but cant find nothing

[dusky burrow]

at worst you can just wait for another one to drop

or trade for one

there is the one guaranteed quest barya but they also drop as tradeable items

and you can do the chaos trials in act 3

@trail ridge

[trail ridge]

well i got more baryas but it wont let me travel to sekhema with the caravan

ive asked multiple people to join my party and see if i could TP to them but no luck so far

so gonna have to go another route like you said

[dusky burrow]

#2┃looking-for-group

[leaden badger]

how do i open distilling menu again if i closed it any my amulet/materials are there

[upper jungle]

what do i need to type in the merchant search when i want spell damage, all spells or cold spells and movementspeed items in one search?

[craggy gyro]

whens the new season start? wana wait before I make a new hc character

[maiden flax]

probably within the next month, hopefully have some more clarity soon

[craggy gyro]

are hc characters gona be made standard when new the season starts? I heard that but just checking

[maiden flax]

no idea

[plain saddle]

Is the currency exchange between players? There is no way to convert stuff into other stuff with NPCs?

[worthy drum]

Vendor recipe dont exist in poe2, for now
Yes the exchange is player trading

[hardy sun]

Reforge is the only other thing that "converts" stuff. Depending on what you reforge, maps go up in tier, gear gets mods rerolled

[half vigil]

cant seem to find any in game info

what does corruption altar do

ok i figured

kinda cuz i still dont really understand how corruption works

and if its one time use then welp cuz it gave me cheeks

[worthy drum]

it does the same thing as Vaal Orb so you can look up info of the orb

[half vigil]

well i never dropped the vaal orb

from what i understand corruption randomizes my bonuses right?

[worthy drum]

RNG, either nothing happens, add implicit, reroll / ruin item, add a socket for gem, up/down level gem, etc
see https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Corrupted#Corruption_outcomes

[half vigil]

ok thank you

also ive beat a boss and the drop it gave me so cheeks for my build </3

[worthy drum]

unique isn't always good (there no "legendary" in poe), make sure to understood properly what it does exactly

[half vigil]

well i call it legendary cuz its orange

anyways its bad for my build mostly cuz my build is amount my minions doing damage and not me

and my sceptre makes them do 60% more damage and attack 8% faster

[tight jungle]

Put them in your unique Stash, or else gtz u won 2 Chance Shards

[half vigil]

what

[worthy drum]

salvage junk unique for chance shards -> chance orb -> gamble for useful unique, eg Sapphire Ring

[half vigil]

oh

so if i salvage one of the two items i sent ill get a chance shard

[tight jungle]

Yeah

Not Salvage tho

Disenchant

With the NPC not the Salvage Bench

(At least I havent tried with the bench)

[half vigil]

oh okay

i have a couple of those items im ready to sacrifice one for the sience

science*

[tight jungle]

Disenchanting gave me the luck to Chance Orb an Azure Amulet into Everlasting Glaze 🙂

With quite good roll on top of that

[half vigil]

the lady with a huge zaza roll can disenchant items right

[tight jungle]

Yeah you need to use Disenchant

It will show u those Shards

When u put the item in the trade it will show Chance Shard. This way u're sure to do right

[half vigil]

ok did it

thank u so much

[tight jungle]

No problem 🙂

Unique Stash tab is more about collecting but some Uniques arent really good atm but could be great in the future (my dream for Thorn I'm curious)

[split dew]

I have a question, why is the cast on shock doesn't charge a whole time its 0%, i use stormweaver spark build and on my ice strike monk cast on shock works fine, what is the trick?

[alpine silo]

that is not possible? stormweaver is a Sorceress ascend skill

[eternal rock]

[hard blade]

What one should I choose Mana regeneration? Cus my mana depletes fast

Ah after doing some research it's clarity

That's a best choice

[trim turret]

Just take whatever you feel like you need. None of them are super impactful and can be made up in other ways.

[echo forge]

can someone help me with the molten lava boss I've spent countless tries on him

[trim turret]

He's basically a pure DPS check and you can also leave and Come back later. Also make sure you're drawing him out of the lava. He's stronger when he's standing in it.

[echo forge]

but I wanna do it nooooowwwwwww

[trim turret]

Then tweak your build and try again.

[hard blade]

Hm what ranger skills deal physical attack so that leach can work? Other than basic attack

Oh it means when you take damage

So it's useless?

[trim turret]

Leech is when you deal damage.

Most skills deal a certain amount of physical. Even elemental skills don't always convert all damage.

[hard blade]

One thing i noticed is that leach ain't instant but do these stack if so dose it make the leach faster?

Or I have to invest in leach nodes in order for like 5% of leach is instant

[trim turret]

Leech is never instant by default. More damage means you're leeching more mana but over the same amount of time.

[graceful viper]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Atziris_Acuity or use this

[hard blade]

You just gave me a build idea a crit leech build 1 the crits add a lot of damage buff and leach for recovery but I'm assuming that would be an endgame thing

[trim turret]

It's hard to get crit chance super high.

And is more of an endgame thing. Yes.

[graceful viper]

thats y u use ambush support gem

altho its meant for mapping, not bossing

[shut dome]

any tips how to get +3/4 skills wand/focus? is it worth gambling?

[tight jungle]

Essence... or just luck

[shut dome]

not sure if im unlucky so far or just too small level, but if i see +6 skills staffs then i should be able to get +3 wands aswell?

[tight jungle]

https://poe2db.tw/fr/Wands#ModifiersCalc

Wand needs an implicit level of 81

[shut dome]

ah okay thanks

[tight jungle]

To see this level u need to inspect it

Implicit level isnt shown straight

[olive star]

any good build with a strong leveling that will allow me to run into giant groups of enemies and kill them all

[trim turret]

That's basically any competent build once it gets up and running.

[copper gate]

on 0.2 release will there be a new league?

[trim turret]

Yes, in that there is supposed to be an economy reset.

[copper gate]

thanks bro

[austere valley]

which one should I pick?

[topaz junco]

Any build would be good but please use #2┃after-acts-help

this channel is for those who've never completed a3 cruel

[austere valley]

but I havent rlly beaten the acts teehee 😛

alr sure ill remove it

post it there

[topaz junco]

thanks

[hard blade]

Of course i died I was using my hp potions too fast cus I didn't have another source of healing that's instant

And leach ain't that usefull life on hit would be

[topaz junco]

you're welcome to share your updates in #2┃general

[hard blade]

Okay

What would be an efficient instant hp recovery gain other than hp recovery on hit

[red musk]

Can someone help me n my friend through the trial of wtv its called so we can unlock are acendancy

[hard blade]

What dose the last part mean where it says fail on reaching ruin 7?

[final geyser]

When the Shade hits you, you get a stack of Ruin. If it hits you 7 times in total, you instantly fail the Trial.

In other words, you don't get to complete the room, don't get any rewards, etc.

[hard blade]

I wonder what happens if you kill the revent shade?

Absolutely got smoked by the boss I'll try a different set up what are recommendations to chose for challeng modifier?

[trim turret]

It says in the description its invulnerable.

[weak forge]

in vc

[hard blade]

#2┃new-player-in-campaign-help this is a question/help channel so next time pls send it hear in #2┃general unless you have a question

[weak forge]

my bad

does increased attack speed effect reload time?

[final geyser]

No.

Although the wiki claims it does, so now I'm not sure xd

[weak forge]

lol

[final geyser]

Okay, so the % attack speed on the weapon doesn't seem to change it - at least not the displayed value on the Crossbow - but other sources do

Did a bit of testing, it only seems to work if it's not on the Crossbow itself. Not sure if that's intended, but we've both learned something xd

[hard blade]

Should I fallow this to pick my challenge modifiers?

Little bit skeptical about lethal rare being a must take

Because rare monsters are like tanky

With ranger

[trim turret]

Has nothing to do with your class.

It's probably recommending it because it's not something that can brick builds or make you auto-fail the trial.

[umbral shard]

Hello i am new to path of exile and i want tips for early currency farming any tips or idk

[trim turret]

If you're in the campaign you shouldn't be doing any farming.

[hard blade]

So my trails of chaos is bugged and I can't open it

Ah all I had to do is make a new instance

[river tiger]

unless he starts in ssf

[pliant bolt]

I hate ignaduk bruh i died so many times fighting her

I died more fighting ignaduk than any other boss

and the only reason is the stupid flame bone wall attack

I get hit once I'm cooked

(to stay on channel topic) btw what's the best support gem for explosive shot on merc?

I've been searching but haven't found anything particularly good

[trim turret]

Subjective based on your overall build. As far as the boss goes, how are your resists?

[hybrid star]

there's ritual nearby that gives you temporary fire res

[pliant bolt]

25% fire resist from my ring and I'm maximizing armor I also did the 4 effigy thing

I beat the boss after my 7th attempt just spamming dodge but it was hell fr

[trim turret]

What is it on your character sheet?

Armor only works against physical damage.

[pliant bolt]

can't check rn I'm in class 🥀

don't tell muh teacher 🥀

[trim turret]

Well if all you have is 25% from your ring, that isn't enough. Resists are the number one stats to be getting on any non-weapon gear.

And you get hit with -10% at the end of each act.

[pliant bolt]

oh whaaat

[night thicket]

xdd

[pliant bolt]

so if I have only the ring I pretty much have only 5%?

in act 3?

[night thicket]

ye

your resistances go in negative if u dont have res

and tbh .. anything under 75 % is paper

all res

[pliant bolt]

buhh

the build guide I'm following said to max mana related stuff

grenade merc

[trim turret]

Resists are a part of any build.

Mana related stuff? For what reason?

[pliant bolt]

well I was not aware thanks for the info

[trim turret]

Life and resists, anything else is secondary.

[pliant bolt]

pretty sure to spam grenades

I'll try to get more resists on my char now tnx

[night thicket]

np man :)

[pliant bolt]

I'll focus on mana late game

does evasion rate apply to elemental attacks?

[hybrid star]

evasion by default applies to "attack" (other type is "spell") attacks and spells can be physical or elemental or both

[pliant bolt]

how much damage is reduced by armor anyway? and how much is the dodge chance increased by evasion rate? is it affected by enemy accuracy? And does enemy accuracy improve after every act?

[night thicket]

even those stats dont matter compared to res

or life

[blazing kelp]

When is 0.2 coming out? These teasers never say a date

[ember mica]

few weeks-ish

[blazing kelp]

Damn I thought it was mid March

Didn’t they say a month from mid February?

[leaden badger]

can someone explain how trials of sekhemas works after clearing the first time
trying to enter still puts me back in this trial of strength vs rattlecage?

i already have 4 points, 2 from first sekhemas and 2 from first chaos

[elder ember]

you just cleared it the first time for ascendancy i assume?

oh

[leaden badger]

a while back yeah

[elder ember]

so you need a level 60+ djinn barya

then start from the beginning

you have to clear 3 floors

[leaden badger]

im running a 62 one yes

3 floors as in full "tests"?

[elder ember]

yeah

[leaden badger]

oh

well thats quite a marathon then

so id have to do test of strengh all over again then 2 more floors after?

[elder ember]

test of strength
test of will
test of cunning

[leaden badger]

gotcha

[elder ember]

then later on when you get level 75+ you get test of time

so 4 floors/bosses

[leaden badger]

also i tried warping back to town mid way in my previous run i cant enter the portal again?

[elder ember]

you have to tp back to the trial

then enter the door

it keeps your progress

[leaden badger]

oh

[elder ember]

tp to the waypoint, cant use portal

[leaden badger]

oh okay2

so sekhemas/chaos are interchangeable?

like i can do a 75 chaos instead for my next 2 points?

[elder ember]

you can but it requires a higher level

if you are level 75 its arguably easier to do ilvl60 sekhema than a 75 chaos

[leaden badger]

im 73, guess ill do the 60+ sekhema then

[elder ember]

if youre gonna do sekhemas you should try to cap your honor res

it caps at 75% just like your ele res

so stack relics that have it

[leaden badger]

alright, thanks for the help

okay test of will entrance is all the way back no wonder didnt notice it last time lol

[tight radish]

yo soul core is missing what do i do

[trim turret]

You usually have to take an elevator up to where one is located.

[warm field]

anyone has a spirit gem level 8? i give one ex or one chaos

[maiden flax]

they are currently about 1div just fyi

if you wait a couple levels 10s are much cheaper

[warm field]

who pays 1div for a spirit gem level 8

[maiden flax]

its the minimum level for a bunch of skills so its the most expensive in that range

[tight radish]

sure

[rough lintel]

that still makes no sense tbh, if that was the case why wouldn't people just farm low level areas for easy money and skyrocket the supply

if they were really 1 div then farming low level areas would be such a good money maker

[craggy gyro]

I'm currently running through the Trial of Chaos and thought I'd offer some help to anyone looking for a free 4th Ascendancy. Please be cautious, as my build one-shots everything. It’s best for you to focus on dodge for safety. Also, there will be no loot pickup. The first two people to message me will get the slots. My goal is also to ensure you enjoy the game content and gain experience going through the 10 rooms, so you can learn for the future.

[craggy gyro]

when does the new season start?

[elder ember]

eventually

[narrow fog]

its speculation its near the end of this month, but keep the word speculation in mind.

[surreal wigeon]

so...ive done two chaos trials, one sekhama. what are the levels to look out for? and what do i do with the 800 sekhama baryas that won't give me ascendancy points?

[granite vine]

just keep the level 80 ones, thats the highest level

toc is good for farming soul cores and trialmaster drops (shield and adorned), and is a decent, reliable way to make money early on

tos is good for farming jewels, including certain unique jewels, that can be very valuable

[surreal wigeon]

so just farm through them, or sell them?

[granite vine]

farm through them

they can be a bore but are pretty reliable ways of making money

[surreal wigeon]

copy that

something other than the bore of maps

[granite vine]

yes yes, its just another form of grinding lol

[surreal wigeon]

yay

[granite vine]

you can pawn off soul cores at currency exchange for a decent profit, as well as trialmaster fragments

[granite vine]

keeping the fragments and doing trialmaster should be a net profit in the long term, but will usually net you little to nothing until you hit

[surreal wigeon]

gotcha. wanted to see what everyone was doing with them, grazi

[granite vine]

👍

[craggy gyro]

are all hc/ssf characters changed into standard when the new season starts? someone in the game chat said it did so just wanted to ask

[brazen lotus]

No

[blissful horizon]

hey can i get help google isnt answering anything. im in what i believe to be act 2(the orange one so maybe act 5 if thats makes sense im lvl 66.) quest is pink Ascent to Power Search the Traitors Passage. ive played through it at least 5 times im confused on where to go help pls (new player)

hello

[tight jungle]

Afaik it is bugged. Still shown. Continue the game

[blissful horizon]

fuck ok. the amount of time ive wasted ugh 😭

thanks

[tight jungle]

Happens ^^'

[frank lion]

there is mistake , Trial of Chaos quest(4 trials) its 2nd Ascension.
then 7 trials = 3thrd Ascension
And trialmaster = 4rd

[final geyser]

No, the wiki is correct. If you've already done the first floor of Trial of the Sekhemas, doing a 7 room Trial of Chaos won't give you additional points.

[frank lion]

But when you running acts, you get 2 points from 1 floor Sekhema, and then in 3 act you get 2 more points from 4 floor trial of chaos

[final geyser]

This is in the ingame description

Floor 1 of Sekhemas and Room 7 of Chaos give the first set of points. If you've already gotten the first set of points from Sekhemas, completing a 7 room Trial of Chaos won't give you any additional points.

[frank lion]

I dont get it, i was leveling 6 characters from december and correctly remembers:

1. When you done 1st trial of the Sekhema (1 floor) you get 1 and 2 ascendancy points at Act 2
2. In act 3 , completing the trial of chaos (4 trials) you gettin 3rd and 4th ascendancy points
3. Ultimatum (7 trials) / Sekhema ( 3 floor ) gives you 5 and 6 asc points
4. In trial of Chaos on 10 floor there no active altar to get points, it is in trialmaster arena
   Idk but it was 100% my exp for the EA 0.1.0 league, mb it was fixed

maxroll guide tells the same

It even became interesting to check, as soon as I get home I will go to level up the new warrior xd

[final geyser]

You may want to read what exactly maxroll says there. It isn't 7 rooms, it's 10 for the third set of points.

[frank lion]

Hmmm stop, I think I figured out what the problem was
in act 3 the chaos trial has 4 floors or 7? How did you get 3rd and 4th points then if 7 trial drop MORE later

[final geyser]

It has 4

[maiden flax]

trial has a variable number of floors based on item level

[tidal willow]

what passive affects Grim Feast ? it does 1.4k on one char, and just 200 on another.

[bold roost]

Not sure what you’re asking exactly, but the amount of ES overflow is determined only by your max ES, and the amount gained per remnant is based on gem level and quality.

[tight jungle]

You need to gather the White things that drops on ground

[bold roost]

He figured it out in another channel, it was +minion levels juicing the amount recovered on one char

[shrewd harbor]

Is there any level requirement for ascendancy carry?

[tidal willow]

figured it out. Grim Feast is improved by + to minions. That's why my Minion Infernalist gets 1000+ shield, while my other char gets 227

[lapis mantle]

Is there someone who tested the game with a Rx 9070? I'm lagging with my current build and was looking for an upgrade

[austere valley]

can u get banned for names? mine is not offensive its just weird af

[tight radish]

how do u do th is

[chilly dagger]

so this means we have double weapon skill points basically now right

[hybrid star]

step in the circle

pull lever at 7oclock

[final geyser]

No, you have the same number. The main difference is that you can use the system with the same weapon(s), rather than needing two separate ones.

[chilly dagger]

wouldnt that mean that since you are using both sets both green and red will work when using the weapons?

[cerulean zephyr]

No, you will still only have one weapon set active at a time

[chilly dagger]

thats dumb

[cerulean zephyr]

Imagine it like it's just letting you put a copy of the same weapon into the other set

[chilly dagger]

but from the video neither set is greyed out

[trim turret]

Actually it's awesome so for things like minion builds you don't need to have two different sceptres for weapon swapping.

[final geyser]

Or even for cases where you have one great weapon you want to use, but want to have more Attack Speed or some other property for some skills, and more damage or cooldown recovery for a second set.

[chilly dagger]

ig we will just have to see how it works

hope they drop a bomb teaser with like a new act or something just unexpected

[final geyser]

That sort of thing would be in a full announcement, rather than the small teasers, based on prior leagues.

[chilly dagger]

right

well i say that cause they said...

so i think they have something major cookin

and im so excited to see whats in store for the game

[austere valley]

at what level can I max out my acesndancy? like can I have them maxed at lvl 1 for example if I pay for a carry?

[chilly dagger]

you need to be atleast level 20? and at least past have already killed balbala and gotten to trial of sekhema

[austere valley]

so I have to beat it once before getting all 8 points?

[chilly dagger]

huh

i thought you were asking minimum requisites to be able to pay for a carry

[austere valley]

I was, so all I have to do is get to sekhema and be lvl 20 right?

[chilly dagger]

yer

[austere valley]

alr its rlly simple, ty

[tawdry prism]

hi Viper! does this mean that weapon swap delay will still happen? Also wondering if this will put a copy weapon on your character visually (like how shields are visually on the back of your character when on a different set.) Just curious!

[cerulean zephyr]

I'm not sure about either of those sorry

I can tell you what's currently the case but I'm not 100% sure they won't change before release 😅

[tawdry prism]

ah i see... TY for the answer! excited for the change either way

[patent marsh]

hi, im new to the game (literally just bought it), is there any guides for beginers or general tips i should follow?

[trim turret]

There are build guides if you want to use one. There's a lot of things to learn. Biggest mistake new players make is they ignore life and resistances and those are the two most important stats for you to look for on gear. Beyond that, read everything.

[patent marsh]

hmmm fair

i literally just started xD

i tried POE 1 in the past but i always got overwhelmed, im trying to give it a shot since poe2 is still at its "beginning"

[trim turret]

POE2 is much more about finding skill combos. For instance, firing projectiles through a flame wall adds fire damage to those projectiles.

[patent marsh]

hmm i see

i also LOVE the WASD and roll movement mechanics

im used to caiting cuz i played league for a bunch of years

but caiting with WASD is WAY better

i used to play diablo and my wrist used to hurt a lot

[trim turret]

Well just be sure to read things. Some skills have massive damage bonuses under certain conditions. Don't ignore magic (blue) items, salvage and disenchant gear you aren't going to use, check vendors occasionally to see if they have something decent.

[patent marsh]

okay

[tight radish]

after i corrupt an item can i add runes to the sockets or nah

[trim turret]

Yes.

[pliant bolt]

what does corrupting an item do? I got the orb for it but from what I've read it only really improves stuff by 2-3% and I don't wanna risk cooking my weapon for that fr

so like should I corrupt my stuff I don't even know what it does

[trim turret]

The rule is don't corrupt anything you can't afford to lose. It can have multiple outcomes, not all of them good. And it prevents you from modifying the item further.

[dusky burrow]

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

the wiki is useful, use it

[leaden badger]

ive killed the witch twice now but its still showing as not cleared?
already explored the entire map as well, am i missing something
also already have the full 100 spirit from main quests so not sure what else this is supposed to be

[flint plume]

Pretty sure that icon's just bugged. If you have 100 spirit you're good.

[leaden badger]

fair guess thats the only thing left

[hidden basin]

hi all

how to complete Ascend to Power Act 2?

how to complete Ascend to Power Act 5*

[hybrid star]

you don't the quest is bugged it should not appear

you ascend from they key dropped from monsters with high enough level

[hidden basin]

u mean i need to higher lvl then just go hit the boss?

[hidden basin]

wow thank you

[cobalt badge]

Hi all, is it possible test somewhere corruption? Took any item and check what corruption could add

[spice light]

hey guys can anyone enlighten me the difference between an elemental damage on a weapon and a more specific elemental damage ( cold / lightning / fire ) . which attribute is more useful in terms of damage output? thanks

[hybrid star]

you mean these 2 mods?

[spice light]

yes

[hybrid star]

one is flat added damage and one is % increase, you have to kinda "balance" them, there's no way to tell which you are needing without looking at your build

that's where PoB comes in handy

usually flat is more valuable on an attack weapon because you can get the % from passive tree

[spice light]

I see. but "elemental damage" can either be fire/cold/lighting depends on your build ryt?

[hybrid star]

yeah

[spice light]

alright. thanks for the info bro . bit struggling and confused about it since hard to tell the difference with my damage output

[hybrid star]

learn to use PoB

[spice light]

ill look into that

[hard blade]

I think I might go for evasion instead of catalysis because of 5 percent of physical damage from hits taken as a damage of a random element witch sounds like a nightmare wait I could possibly grab acrobatics and my goal is to get elemental equilibrium

Because I'm trying to make an elemental build with ranger

[hybrid star]

why would it be a nightmare?

also acrobatics won't be effective around this level

[lament stone]

elemental damage is much easier to mitigate than physical damage

[patent marsh]

as a new player a i have a question

do the devs intend to add gender options to the class selection?

[trim turret]

No.

[final geyser]

No. There is the possibility of other character class models - including gender swaps - being added as MTX later on, but nothing concrete on when.

[trim turret]

That's a lot of work for very little return.

Your build is your identity.

[patent marsh]

Observa

thats sad, i hate gender locking on classes

[lament stone]

every character has lore behind them

theyre not just blank slate characters

[hybrid star]

a male witch would be weird

[patent marsh]

i mean, just change the name to warlock when its a male witch

and say their story isnt canon

problem solved

[trim turret]

There are bigger priorities.

In a game where your character is barely visible most of the time and you're wearing a helmet 4 minutes into it.

[patent marsh]

idk, i just like to have the option of choosing yk?

[trim turret]

Sure, but again, that's a lot of work. And having proper content is more important.

[patent marsh]

also IMO having the option of choosing usually its more attractive for new players

but thats just an opinion ofc

im enjoying the game a lot so far

[hard blade]

Anime lover too

[patent marsh]

i mean, i like watching sometimes lol

not a weeb

[hard blade]

When dose skill gem level 11 drop?

[trim turret]

Not until somewhere in cruel difficulty.

[austere ridge]

My weapon gem's slot is currently at 4 sockets, how can i get 5 sockets?

[trim turret]

For the skill on the weapon itself? I think that increases with higher item level weapons.

[austere ridge]

oh, okay. Thank you so much !

[trim turret]

Though usually builds won't focus too much on item skills.

[plain saddle]

Act 1 cruel.

[hard blade]

I got one during act 3 by luck

[plain saddle]

Oh, that's very lucky.

[leaden badger]

is there a way to have both keyboard and controller at the same time? like i prefer actual gameplay with my controller but managing inventory and stash after a couple runs is just not as easy

[final geyser]

Not at the moment, it is a planned feature, just not available yet.

[leaden badger]

dang, guess nothing else but to either logout between control modes or suck it up with the controller then right

anyways which tab/s would be the most useful to get first with like 200 coins atm, i understand there is no ongoing sale but idm getting right now

[worthy drum]

currency tab is no.1 mandatory
then 1 premium tab at least for ease of trading items (list them directly through the tab)
map tab & fragment tab will be fine in general
everything else depends, some of the specialized tab isn't exactly super useful unless you really grind related stuff in vast quantity
otherwise just more regular tab or premium tab (can rename / change tab color)
quad tab depends, honestly I playing on big screen also not comfortable with the size, so it depends on individual

[leaden badger]

thanks!

[alpine silo]

damn... thats a lot

[lament nest]

is there any way to go back into Utzaal/Aggorat in the past in normal difficulty? I think i forgot to grab the sacrificial heart skill points when i first went through it, its the last 2 points im missing

[lament flume]

how do i unlock the different nodes? i just refunded my passives cuz i thought it'd let me

[lament nest]

Each class has to start at a specific point on the skill tree

[lament flume]

so i have to unlock all the way to energy shield

[turbid rampart]

5/475

[lament flume]

i was worried i'd have to do that

[turbid rampart]

+*-/

[alpine silo]

does this affect minions?

[hybrid star]

it has to say minions

[worthy drum]

go to ziggurat encampment (current time)
go down the long stair to the Drowned City
use the waypoint there to get back to ziggurate encampment, you will ended up at the pass Utzaal directly

[devout badge]

Hey so I have a 92% accuracy rating on my cross bow as one of the stats... I have the ability to add a Rune to add 100% accuracy. Like do these percentages stack? so like 192%

[final geyser]

It wouldn't add 100%, it would add a flat 100 Accuracy Rating. Likely, you've also got a flat added accuracy rating on the Crossbow as well. They would be additive, and the more Accuracy Rating you have, the more likely you are to hit enemies.

[tight jungle]

Isnt the "92%" in this case only for the weapon's accuracy whereas the 100% is from another source ?

Mathematically wisely

[hard blade]

How dose this skill work because I haven't seen no beam or nova from it even if I shock a mob

[dusky burrow]

100% is from another source ?
there is no 100% (at least, not yet.) the rune grants +100 accuracy.

[final geyser]

Your Crossbow doesn't have a percentage of accuracy, is what I'm trying to point out. You have a flat, +92 Accuracy. That will be added to any other sources of Accuracy to get your total Accuracy Rating.

[tight jungle]

Oh, my bad. Not being on poe2db duped me 😢

[final geyser]

It should be listed as a flat number in the game as well. You can check your total Accuracy Rating on any skill where it applies, as well.

[tight jungle]

Yeah might be... I just do it with reminder of myself, cant check on the net... at least it helps myself there, I dont want to spread misinformation 😦

• I'm quite a newbie in POE2... I'm keen on sharing knowledges as well on learnings 🙂

[dense mantle]

JAVAZON INCOMING

@topaz junco thank you, I'll move my question!

done 🙂

[wicked thunder]

What's the upcoming patch about? Is that a new class?

[final geyser]

At least, yes. More info will be known in 2 weeks.

[timber kettle]

Can I ask for carry help here? Or am I in wrong forum xD

[stable heart]

Youre in the right place

[timber kettle]

Someone intrested to carry trial of sekhemas lvl 1-4 ens boss? 🙂

[final geyser]

This is not the right channel for that, you might want to look here: https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714168576249887

[mellow falcon]

I've never played poe2 before, is the 0.2.0 like a new league in poe1? or is it a patch without a reset? good time to get into poe2?

[final geyser]

It should include an economy reset in the same manner as PoE1, judging by prior statements from GGG regarding how they'd like to handle major content updates. You'd need to wait for the full announcement to be 100% certain, but it's pretty safe to assume that there will be a new 'league'.

[mellow falcon]

cool, thanks 🙂

[young gazelle]

anyone know when the next class is coming?

[dusky burrow]

see #poe2-news message

[tribal patio]

april 4

[stark hull]

I have some framerate issues, I get low frames whether or not I have high settings or low settings, cpu and gpu usage isn't maxed AMD gpu. Can someone help me with settings?

[trim turret]

Have you tried a different renderer?

[stark hull]

DX12 and Vulkan poerform the same for me

[trim turret]

Enable the performance graph and see where you're getting choked.

[stark hull]

its not stutters, its like generally just low fps

like I want 200+ frames but I'm only getting 100 but gpu and cpu are only half utilization

I don't have any frame limits or vsync on either

[trim turret]

Is there a framerate cap in the settings? It could also just be that we need a performance pass.

[stark hull]

im confused why its not pushing

[trim turret]

The game is on 0.1 after all.

[stark hull]

true

what fps are you getting?

[trim turret]

Have no idea, haven't played in a bit.

But 100 FPS is solid for a game in early access.

[stark hull]

also I just noticed esperimenting with this, but frame times jump a little bit whenever minions move. Is this a known issue? Are minion builds just lag machines?

[stark hull]

does my minion damage count towards this?

[dusky burrow]

no

that modifier only affects you

because it doesnt specify minions or allies

[void shoal]

Can someone carry me through my 2nd ascendancy? Please

[torn lava]

i am starting poe 2
can i follow this build guide
or this guide is suppose to be followed after campaign

i did

.

[clear trail]

normally guides will tell you if its viable for levelling

either directly or if it has a levelling build/gear section

if it doesnt it would be safe to assume that its purely endgame guide

also is the zealous_eagle_15300 a bot or scammer lmao

[torn lava]

oo cool

[torn lava]

yeah i read and i found a leveling section of that guide

thanks

[nova moss]

Maybe they should just build a portal from PoE to PoE2. merger!

[torn lava]

lmao

https://tenor.com/view/gamedev-fail-epic-fail-monke-gif-23958493

[torn lava]

there are no temp leagues right now so i should just play standard right?

[meager galleon]

yeah, just standard in early access

[torn lava]

how do i get support gems?

[meager galleon]

you will find Uncut support gems

or get them as quest rewards

[torn lava]

i see cool

is there no fragment stash tab in poe2
will it ever come to poe2? and if it come will it be transfered

[meager galleon]

not a fragment tab yet, also not many fragments in poe2 yet

and yeah, if/when they add one, it will transfer

[final geyser]

They've said that the Precursor Tablets (used in endgame) will be in the Fragment tab, once it's added, so it's basically confirmed. The only question is when.

[torn lava]

i see cool

how long is the current campaign
considering i am a poe 1 player

[meager galleon]

my first playthrough was about 40h, and i explored everything

[torn lava]

ooh

[craggy gyro]

Does anyone have a PoB for Poisonous concoction ?

[hard blade]

So I can only equip 9 gems in poe2 is there anyway to increase it? I'm assuming it's based on gear ?

[final geyser]

No, the only gear that increases your skill slots are items that specify as such, like Unset Rings. You can also get 3 more skill gem slots from the Gemling Legionnaire ascendancy on the Mercenary.

[hard blade]

Well hopefully they add more ways to increase skill gem slots

[hybrid star]

do you need that much

most builds I see have a few free slots

[torn lava]

has the passive tree changed in the last 15 20 days

cuz the guide that i am reading has a different passive tree than mine

[final geyser]

No, it has not.

Are you using the same class as the build, and does it use a Timeless Jewel?

[alpine silo]

im having a hard time imagining this as a good node for minion builds, like most things wouldn't really affect them, right? like stat boosts (int/str/dex), max spirit/mana etc

[hybrid star]

yeah usually you would want an amulet with +3 level of minion skills, which you want to keep it to yourself

[alpine silo]

yeah i thought so, thanks!

corruption actually helped me for once, free 22 extra spirit for my witch

[trim turret]

You really shouldn't need that many.

[dire pike]

how do I get exalted orbs? i am constantly running out (I am in act 2 cruel)

[trim turret]

Drop or trade. You shouldn't really be spending them except to trade.

[torn lava]

what does it means to update the supports?

its written frequently in the maxrol guide which i am following

[trim turret]

The guide changes support gems after certain steps.

[mental quarry]

You definitely should spend exalts

For example for rolling waystones

Or crafting items

Assuming youve already hit lategame, that is. During the campaign you want to save them if possible

[dire pike]

i am in cruel act 2 now

but i only have 1 left cause i always spend them on armors

[mental quarry]

Try to stick to one piece as long as possible until its clear that it has outlived its usefulness

[torn lava]

can i purchase uncut gems during acts?

or is the only source during acts is drops and rewards

[dusky burrow]

correct

[trim turret]

Spend them as in add mods to armor? That's a waste.

[dire pike]

oops XD

[trim turret]

It's random so the odds of getting something you need aren't great. I'd only do it if an item already has 4-5 mods that are all solid and useful to you. Otherwise you're better off just using them to trade for gear.

[torn lava]

why does is says this

can i not trade in act 1?

[stone ivy]

they need to tp to u or go to their hideout

just msg them u cant tp to area

[torn lava]

cool

[mild quiver]

Finally beat blackjaw in cruel act 3. Cheap as one shots

[scarlet tapir]

He beat me alot to for some reason at first lol

[trim hare]

Can someone ELI5 what this means in practical terms? I just can't comprehend this system. What have I done and what do I need to do rectify it, if anything? Demon Form.

I think i partly figured it out, I have to literally switch to Demon Form to see the different tree. That shit's wild.

And apparently I played many levels with a point unassigned, as I only use Demon Form. No idea how I got in this state though, or why it would even be a thing.

[final geyser]

You allocated one point to the first weapon set, so it was spent across all sets. You can freely allocate that point on the other weapon sets without consuming a point.

[trim hare]

I was avoiding the system entirely, and I still got screwed. 🤣

Does that mean I at some point clicked "Weapon Set 1" when assigning a point?

[final geyser]

As for seeing the tree, you should be able to see each of the weapon set specific allocations at all times, just dimmed and with different colours to signify which is which.

[final geyser]

Or held Shift and pressed Left Click, as that also works.

[trim hare]

oh man, that must be it, as I use shortcut keys a lot like ctrl+click to assign

[trim hare]

oh i see it now, extremely subtle

[hard blade]

I keep on dying to the purple chaos things ? I died right after this

And I might need help

[dusky burrow]

they're aoes that explode after a delay, yeah?

so you can be in them for the beginning of their duration

and just make sure to get out by the time they explode

also your damage looks really bad

[hard blade]

Ya I know I regret reseting all the damage nodes I had for shock nodes for shockchian arrow

I could of left it be and used storm caller arrow with more shock chance

Oh wait I mean electrocute

No that's for one of the persistent buffs that grant you 1 frenzy charge when u kill a shocked mob

Whats is a pin it says that can also grant a frenzy charge?

[dusky burrow]

yeah

combat frenzy

[hard blade]

If I could just get an additional 30 spirit i could use herald of thunder with wind dancer and combat frenzy

And that's where I'll stop on resistant buffs eh I might swap out one for cast on shock

For Voltaic mark to be automatically casted

Just gotta keep on trying

Close and she spammed the poison spear attack twice 😔 😔

[robust edge]

Viper lady kicking my rump

[worthy drum]

Shes the real act 3 boss.
Doryani is just small fries

[hardy sun]

Yep, viper can be very frustrating. Fun fight when you learn how to avoid her. The toughest part for me was when she went immune. The side soldiers would do their arena wide attacks, then the transition of when it was the last attack and viper becomes vulnerable again. Lots of dodge rolls, being the right distance or placement. Some rng luck

[dusky burrow]

ngl every fight should be like that fight

[worthy drum]

Keyboard and table sales will skyrocket if they do
Shes like the second most frustrating after the original un-nerfed silverfist or whatever that goat damn gorilla was

[weak slate]

when does bow shot get its 6-link

[torn lava]

why can i use raging spirit here

[quartz valley]

dex requirement

[torn lava]

cool

[hardy fern]

ive been trying to buy an amulet from the trade since the afternoon and nobody did

its like "why do you have an item in sale if you are not going to sell it"

[meager galleon]

usually as the league progresses in poe and ppl get strong endgame builds they often dont bother responding to low value trades if they are in a map cos in the time it takes to do that trade, they will find more value from just killing stuff

and those low value items are just listed sometimes from weeks ago

[hardy fern]

but they dont even care

in poe 1 i would say "1 minute, im mapping"

[meager galleon]

yeah, they dont, and i find trading etiquette a little worse in poe2 than it was in poe1

[hardy fern]

and when im done sell the item

[meager galleon]

because the amount of completely new players

[weak basin]

Uhhh i totally forgot how to open the town portal. I just came back after a while (ps5)

[meager galleon]

theres a button on next to skills bottom right

and there was also a bind for it on pc, dunno how it is on console

[hardy fern]

someone have a body armor with 500 armor, 35 spirit, some life and strength? not even the trade and in game wants to sell

max lvl req 45

[maiden flax]

drop your armour req down a little and you will find a bunch more

with those stats, not even specifying str/life minimums there is literally one avail online right now

that was posted 15 days ago, and the owner is afk

would also suggest primarily searching for things posted in the past 3 days or so, it cuts out most of the ppl that have old stuff sitting in their tabs that they wont bother actually selling

and at this point in the 'season' you basically get to pick 2/3 of these:

• Available seller
• Cheap
• Stats you want

A lot of good leveling gear is divine+ minimum at this point

[hardy fern]

i did that. but no reply

im about to quit until the game is free

[maiden flax]

do you have minimal currency right now? Is this your first character that you're leveling?

I'm basically wondering if I'm seeing stuff thats out of your price range

if you look at armour tiers, you're also straddling the line of like sub 200 base armour vs 300+

[hardy fern]

first character

i have 30 exalted

[maiden flax]

ah, yeah ok. You need to be way less picky on buying upgrades then with minimal currency. Anything that is higher end at this point is significantly more expensive

prioritize 1-2 things on an upgrade rather than looking for stuff with 4+ lines you want

[hardy fern]

i just one something to wear now

i just need 35 spirit to use herald of ice

i can afford the items i found but the problem is nobody sells items

[maiden flax]

generally on trade site you can treat the cheapest 5ish items listed to be ignored

[hardy fern]

then sell it to an npc or destroy it. why would you waste space of your stash?

its not make sense xD

[maiden flax]

because its easy to just dump things into a dump tab, or it was put up weeks ago and they dont bother anymore

I did grab this for a single regal if you want it for 2lvls away

48 and 52 are the next two tiers of armour based armour

[hardy fern]

how much do you want for it?

[maiden flax]

free

[hardy fern]

please i would love you

[maiden flax]

name?

[hardy fern]

KeiBeStronge

[maiden flax]

there you go, just gotta scrap a few levels and you're set on it

went ahead an qual/socketed/etc on it too so it will last a lil longer

[hardy fern]

ty

i would lvl up 3 lvl

i just did the 2 ascendency btw xd

[meager galleon]

also in general you shouldnt need to trade for gear before endgame

acts are beatable just from what you find or craft with what you find

[worthy drum]

It just new player often gets overwhelmed and want the easy way out instead of learning the item system. Understandably, the item system is the most complex part of the game....

[quartz crow]

I think you would spend more time wrestling with trading than vroom vroom thru campaign anyway

then endgame is where trading becomes lucrative

yea

literally who

[final geyser]

Please use another channel for general, off-topic chatter like this.

[torn lava]

are there movement skills on poe 2 like in poe 1

[meager galleon]

not really

there are some things like leap slam, and the ice arrow dodge one i am blanking on the name now

[final geyser]

There are movement skills, but they're generally more limited or slower, at least unless you have Temporalis and Blink, then I think you're faster than any movement skill in PoE1.

[final geyser]

Escape Shot.

[meager galleon]

but you have dodge roll

although you dont move faster than running with that

[torn lava]

i see

it feels slower in acts to traverse the maps

[meager galleon]

it is slower, intentionally

and zones are also bigger than they were in poe1

[torn lava]

ohh i see cool

why tho?

to make boss fight difficult or something?

[meager galleon]

ggg wanted to make the combat a little more strategic rather then just zooming at mach2 and exploding everything

(although the zooming and exploding everything is still possible in endgame builds)

[torn lava]

oo i see cool, make sense

[fading steeple]

hahahaha attribute stacker merc 😆

[torn lava]

why cant i go into the arena

this is in act 2

buried shrines

[final geyser]

You are already in the arena, by the looks of it.

[torn lava]

ooh

[boreal tulip]

my lv41 hc died to a river hag that spawned beneath her and bubbled her to death instantly

seems like a bug

[trim turret]

Submit it on the forums. I wouldn't be caught dead playing HC characters on the 0.1 version of any game.

[boreal tulip]

i mean, i am literally caught dead, quite often

i've seen lots of whining about river hag so i assume they'll sort it eventually

[hardy sun]

i think ggg intends to keep the riverhags as they are. they are certainly a pain in the ass to deal with. i hate those water zones in campaign

[odd moss]

is the trial of the sekhimas bugged still? i can’t create an instance for it

[slate copper]

Hi, what are the best support gems for galvanic shards?

[trim turret]

Best is subjective and depends on your build.

[hard blade]

Good bow but I can't afford it 🥲 is there a decent gold farming method?

If only it removed the accuracy suffix for or 55% increased elemental damage than ya it's probably gonna be at least worth 2 divines

[chilly dagger]

they really are not that hard to deal with. just dodge the big orb of death and gg. simple

[worn maple]

i've got a few extra if you want to trade

[hard blade]

Yea I want to trade

[worn maple]

whats your ign?

[hard blade]

Yhhggbgb is my in game name

[worn maple]

send a message in global real quick so i can invite you

[hard blade]

What channel I currently have it set to english 100?

[worn maple]

just the global chat

[hard blade]

Got it ?

[worn maple]

sent the invite

[echo forge]

very entertaining game

[stark hull]

chat am i just bad or is playing blood mage just miserable? I'm lvl 30 and have tried uppgrading my gear to the best I can buy/find and it feels like without corspe explosion everything 2 shots me and I can barely tickle anyone

[hybrid star]

which skills are you using? and do you have a problem with life cost on skills?

[stark hull]

rn the only way I can survive is using mace skills basically and corpse explosion

[hybrid star]

mace skill? are you following some kinda guide? you are a mage why not using a wand or staff? 👀

[stark hull]

bc the minions werent strong enough to kill stuff even if all my skill tree is invested in them and I can't use quarterstaff to get in there myself because I need my sceptre in offhand for said minions

[trim turret]

Not quarterstaff, staff or wand + focus, for casting spells.

[stark hull]

I wanted to melee

[trim turret]

...yet the blood mage mostly has bonuses for spells, not attacks.
