[true thicket]

damn

[covert atlas]

I only went through act 1 but exploding lance was nice for bosses

[rapid finch]

i need to figure out how to beef up my exploding crossbow build

[covert atlas]

You don’t have to time the parry at least but monsters like missing you for no reason

So that’s annoying

[true thicket]

yeah lightning spear not viable without frenzy

parry to gain it is too much

i guess i need to go melee

[rapid finch]

i wonder if there will be a build capapble of parrying bosses or if it will just only be good on ads

[hardy sun]

If you have the green key item, use the caravan travel map, find the new zone

[rose pike]

ah , i need to kill a boss to get the key first

[last wolf]

yea

[covert atlas]

I mean as long as the boss isn’t exclusively slams, it will probably be doable

[rapid finch]

i only got as far as bloated boy

and couldnt parry his hits

[covert atlas]

I got through act 1 and used it a fair bit

[worthy forge]

Does Rolling slam + bone shatter no longer work on warrior?? Nothing exploding like I see in the tutorial video.

[outer wadi]

Any bow builds for leveling? can't seen to decide on one lol

[mental needle]

it does

[covert atlas]

Any attack with the warning sound effect you probably can’t parry

[mental needle]

if you have too much damage or stunn rolling slam can stun them by itself though and then bshatter won't do anything

[worthy forge]

@mental needle idk what im doing wrong then.

[rapid finch]

guess my issue with it is i could instead just walk through and one shot anything that isnt rare

[quiet fossil]

I'm following a build guide and the guide has the support gem Magnified Effect on two different skills. But I can only equip one Magnified Effect. Am I missing something?

[mental needle]

gemling?

[covert atlas]

I def don’t parry vs normal mobs unless I get swarmed or something

[rapid finch]

laughs in gemling legionare

[final fog]

what main stats should i focus on for a build like this? dex? https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ts7470ip

[rapid finch]

just makre sure you ahve enough dex to equip the gear you have then add int for mana and str for hp

[final fog]

oh okay, do none of these scale damage?

[rapid finch]

the 3 stats no longer scale damage like they did in the first game

[mental needle]

they didn't in the first game either except str

[rapid finch]

outside equiping gear and skills its str for hp, int for mana, dex for accuracy

[final fog]

i only played witch last season, i wonder if huntress is even very good or if it's just a different kind of ranger

[rapid finch]

i think there is a node that lets you have overflowing accuracy add to crit chance, will need to see how good it is

[final fog]

i might reroll to minion witch, that was super fun imo

[pulsar moss]

Does poe 2 have xp penalties for being underlvled?

[rapid finch]

will have to see how litch witch does with minions

unholy might might be nasty

[compact glen]

how do i get to trial of sekhemas?

its greyed out for me and i cant click it, finished act 2

[rapid finch]

have you beated the oricle girl in the cave?

i dont have game open so cant check

[compact glen]

yuh at traitors passage?

[rapid finch]

[compact glen]

i have o-o

[rapid finch]

[compact glen]

[obsidian acorn]

anyone know a workout portal crashing?

[twilit kayak]

Not sure should I continue socreress 🙃 ?

[modest ruin]

don't worry about meta

if you enjoy the character you will play longer and it will get stronger thats all

[hardy sun]

Yep, gotta find what you like, don't just follow the trend

[vivid cedar]

help idk what to do D:

[twilit kayak]

🤔 ok I will play for a while

[fringe pine]

why doesnt minion follow player

[hardy sun]

You get glitched? They follow, a bit behind. Or you can command them to move

Minions get stuck though, sometimes they move dumb

[candid crow]

game sucks now every too nerfed

[true thicket]

can someone hel;p beat azarian

[alpine reef]

can i get help with act 2 boss?

[limber stone]

HELP

Im using a witch and cant fucking play. Crashes whenevert I try to set minions

First, I was getting the dumb bug that doesnt recognize your 100 spirit

now it just crashes

[north sage]

anyone able to help me beat act 1 boss on the new league

[marsh cliff]

What is the red bar next to my health?

[mental needle]

are you blood mage?

[marsh cliff]

Huntress, no ascendancy

[mental needle]

I have no clue, prob just a visual artifact/bug

[marsh cliff]

I found out its from Herald of Blood, but dont know why anything here would add that red bar

[mental needle]

yeah just seems like a bug

try unsocketing and resocketing, relog if that doesn't work

[marsh cliff]

Re logging made it go away, ty

[chilly geyser]

hey all is there a level requirement to purchase from the POE2 trade site?

[narrow fog]

Any solutions for being stuck on the "Speak to Delwyn" part of the hunt begins? Slayed a beast but talking to him does nothing. Even reloaded and rehunted the beast with him, still no luck

[hardy sun]

I thought it was like 25 or 28 range, don't recall.

[chilly geyser]

@hardy sun thanks

[hardy sun]

It wasn't so much the trade site, I think it's in game trading. But it's kinda mixed anyhow, both go together

can anyone help me with hyena boss in act 2?

[compact thorn]

thoughts on huntress?

[stable swallow]

With all due respect GGG what is the point of making early game so hard that leveling is more pain then doing a fking PINICAL BOSS. Either whole studio was HIGH while making this patch or you were Playing Dark Souls. 😑

[vapid falcon]

All are available in the existing realm.

[vague hollow]

wait am i missing something

you can't use heralds with crossbows anymore?

[obsidian acorn]

does anyone have the string to check for good items in vendors?

[grave tusk]

how cooked is this game rn

[exotic lion]

click that nail icon on the right

[sick mortar]

hi guys my friend is needing to use glory for the hammers

but he cannot see how much glory he has

i am correct in thinking he gains glory via doing heavy stuns right? how do we trackthe glory

[compact thorn]

what pieces of gear can have allies in your pressence have + dmg?

only scepter?

[ionic shore]

is kitava not in game?

[compact thorn]

why would he be?

hes dead

[ionic shore]

i mean the new class

[opaque stone]

Restart game

They hotfixed it, was broken on release

[solemn karma]

Can anyone tell me why I cannot find "Honed Instincts" and "Vile Wounds" in my passive tree? Instead for these locations I have "Primal Instinct" and "Eagle Eye". I am playing Huntress and have not ascended yet.

[broken glacier]

Is there a script for checking vendor items ?

[opaque stone]

Im not sure but those may be ranger only nodes

[covert atlas]

Are those in the starting area? @solemn karma

[solemn karma]

Yes sir.

[covert atlas]

If so what munin said

[opaque stone]

The different classes have slightly different starting areas

[solemn karma]

I am trying to follow a lightning spear build, and it shows on there passives those two but I do not have them on mine.

[ionic shore]

should it be visible here? or is it just an in game leveling thing for warrior class?

[opaque stone]

I would take the two in their place since its probably whats intended

[opaque stone]

Its an in-game thing, a subclass for warrior. You're new?

[ionic shore]

ohhh, yea i played when poe2 launched just a little bit but i have no idea about the game itself

[opaque stone]

You get access to it in act 2 or 3 after completing the Trial of The Sekhemas or The Trial of Chaos

Between it, Warbringer, and Titan

[ionic shore]

i see thank youu

one more question tho, does any warrior classes use anything other than maces?

[opaque stone]

You can use any weapon in the game

[ionic shore]

it was the reason i dropped playing because i wanted to play w sword/axe

[opaque stone]

Ah, those havent been added yet

Axe is coming with Marauder and sword is coming with Duelist

[covert atlas]

Those are probably a bit away from coming yea

[ionic shore]

oh i see thank you very much

i'll go huntress then

[opaque stone]

At earliest 0.3, more likely 0.4, possibly longer

0.3 is almost certainly going to have Druid but might have a second class if we're lucky

[ionic shore]

one last thing, i played diablo 4 a lot and i always used gamepad but for this i want to use kb+m, any tips for the controls? should i use wasd movement or mouse movement or any keybind tips?

[opaque stone]

WASD movement feels great imo

If you have a mouse with extra buttons id bind two of your skills to those instead of Q/E

[cerulean trellis]

Where exactly to report bug except forum? Got constant DC fighting Mektul on act 3. it's not crash but unexpected DC . Anybody going through that?

[civic marlin]

lf help with jamanra

[ionic shore]

wasd + binding some of the skills on the mouse got it thank you very much!!

[silver salmon]

Hello, I have a question. If I start a new standard league character, all the new 0.2.0 updates will be there, right? All the new mechanics and such? Because I made a character in dawn league but my stash was not there, and I want to play with my stash.

[opaque stone]

You should try mouse movement to see if you like it though, its preference

WASD lets you attack while moving backwards though

Without flinging your mouse back and forth across the screen anyways

[covert atlas]

Yes, there’s no league specific mechanic this time so standard is not missing out on anything for now.

[ionic shore]

for the mouse movement, is there a thing like "attack while staying"

[opaque stone]

There was in PoE1, idk if its in 2 since i dont do mouse

[ionic shore]

oh then what's the purpose of starting a character on league?

[opaque stone]

The trade economy on standard is basically ruined rn

[fathom harness]

(economy reset)

[ionic shore]

oh lmao

[drifting halo]

for the raise specter gem, I have it socketed, but i do not get a prompt to use things i kill as summons? how do you activate it

[opaque stone]

If you play SSF it doesnt matter but if you play trade, play Dawn

[ionic shore]

alrighty thank you all for the help 🙏

[vivid valley]

what's the level 3 spell of choice for huntress, should I upgrade one of my tier 1 spells or pick up rake or spearfield?

better question is rake or spearfield any good?

[opaque stone]

Im liking spearfield personally but i havent tried the other options

[covert atlas]

Rake trivialized act 1 paired with stomping grounds

I liked using exploding spear on bosses too even though that skill is mega scuffed

[vivid valley]

hrm so far I'm using whirling slash

but trivialising sounds good

[covert atlas]

Yeah I hated that one so much I just used basic attack

[vivid valley]

lol

weird, I like it

[near harness]

got an exalted orb in the first map, whats the best kind of item to trade for for a long lasting powerboost in the campaign?

[vivid valley]

I got an exalt in lvl3 map

[covert atlas]

A good weapon is what you really want in campaign

and then just enough defenses to survive

[near harness]

yeah but weapons have harsh level requirements
so i cant really go for a great weapon that lasts a while

[covert atlas]

Yeah, something with relevant + skills perhaps

Like an amulet

If you are a caster then a wand/staff with + skills can last you a long while

[opaque flare]

Is there a better skill gem that generates extra twisters cuz the whirling slash only stays for a second

[covert atlas]

It’s a bit different for martial weapons

[opaque flare]

So I can’t use it effectively

[near harness]

running merc atm

[covert atlas]

Then a + projectile skills amulet could carry you a bit

Rings with flat dmg are cool too

[vivid valley]

I picked up a +1 to melee spear very early on, it's okay so far, but I'm only lv6

[cyan nacelle]

I want to play galvanic crossbow do you guys think deadeye is the choice or Amazon crit would be better late game. I'm softcore if that changes anything

[exotic lion]

how to ride peco" on huntress ?

[fathom harness]

Hi, for the smith's masterwork, do I need to spend an ascendancy point to choose the bonuses or a regular passive point ? (did the test, it's ascendancy points)

[pale heron]

why cant i socket this with grenades ?

[elder ember]

do those skills have the "duration" keyword?

[fringe axle]

How's everyone finding this patch. I wanna play totems, but they don't come online till level 37. I'm currently using lightning arrow and honestly this feels like a super slog

[fringe axle]

Weapon with + skills

[near harness]

got an amulet with +1 to projectile skills and some rarity

[sacred kindle]

explosive grenade cant be used with fast forward anymore?

[lyric girder]

How is lich currently with leveling? I wasn't really enjoying Huntress too much so far

[tight radish]

any1 getting stuttering and freezing? and how to fix

[latent lantern]

anyone can help with end of act 1 boss?

[midnight briar]

minions are as bad

[vivid valley]

nah, everything's bad, just pick something you don't mind grinding with

[compact thorn]

great

contagion + essence drain and minions feel great

as a league start

[weak cedar]

Stand in the slash and it lasts forever, you can also use 3 times and itll make even more tornadoes

[craggy gyro]

What skills should a level 14 sorceress use for bosses? Spark + orb of lightning?

[civic marlin]

im not cheating im promise

[tight radish]

ur build must be crazy

[lyric girder]

Do you know if ED/Contagion is always a 2 button combo? Or does it become smoother? Right now it doesn't feel super smooth because it doesn't spread between mobs very reliably

[civic marlin]

my spirit buged after crash have -2140 now

[versed parrot]

Hey, Will items from the Standard League Stash not carry over to the new season?

[civic marlin]

to be fair thats how minion should work now they are somehow playable xd

[compact thorn]

probably

but it doesnt matter

I dont inted to play ED and contagion after I get to maps

[lyric girder]

oh what do you plan on swapping to?

[compact thorn]

just minions probably

with some other chaos dmg stuff for support

not sure yet

[vague hollow]

what do y'all do for single-target early on crossbow builds? bosses are taking forever

[spark bane]

this is prolly only good against jamanra?

is spear builds currently meta on huntress while leveling?

[sonic sand]

Guys I am kind of lost. IS amazon and huntress are different classes?

[lament stone]

amazon is an ascendancy of huntress

[abstract nimbus]

huntress is a new class?

[sonic sand]

How come this build guide have different starting passives then mine?

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/lazyexile-amazon-league-starter#passive-tree-0

[lament stone]

yes

it shouldnt if you picked huntress

[abstract nimbus]

i didnt

i am downloading the update rn

[lament stone]

oh no i see it, thats not an updated tree

[abstract nimbus]

i havent played since like february

[sonic sand]

weird, guide says it was updated on apr 5

[lament stone]

i mean the actual passive tree on the website hasnt been updated yet

its not specific to that guide

was trying grenades but its so difficult also

[full condor]

can anybody explain what passive overrides are? is it literally that the passive tree is different for different classes?

idk why that helped

[elder edge]

can you still cant change your class ascendancy? they nerf geming hard

[amber shell]

I just got home from work im about to start the game. I want to play lich any leveling build

[storm sequoia]

hey, any idea why i cant do the "ascent to power" quest?

[polar sundial]

from memory you had to finish a certain part of act 2 before you can

[storm sequoia]

yeah, I did and i have quest to come back ant talk to zarka but she has no interactions

rn only final boss of act2 is left for me to do, finished everything else

[errant night]

So I just got the game this week, around Tuesday or Wednesday. The character that I created is now unplayable after the update and I should start a new one? Not really sure how it works and if it’s similar to Diablo

[mental needle]

go to the desert map, go to the trial of the sekhema

assuming you've killed Balbala and gotten the barya

[narrow violet]

there are two leagues, the one where your old character is in, and a newly created one where you can create a new character.

each league is like a new instance of a server

[snow jewel]

anyone struggling with the difficulty of the campaign

[errant night]

Thank you! Being new I rather just start fresh again haha

[mental needle]

Seems like a fair few people yeah

Huntress levelling is rough on spear from what I've heard

[snow jewel]

I don't remember it being this hard last league this early I basically only beat act one because I had Unique drop that made me super broken on Huntress

and even then the last boss just 2 shot me constantly

[elder edge]

can you change your class ascendancy?

[mental needle]

no, choose wisely (or don't I'm not your dad.)

[elder edge]

nerf geming by taking away the 3 gem shot. rip why GGG

[abstract wind]

need help with jamanra act2boss IGN KleetusDeletus

[errant night]

After all the nerfs/buffs/ reworks, which would be the best character to take through the story and into end game first? I’ll do multiple playthroughs eventually but just want an easy run to begin with

[snow jewel]

my gf who is better than me at the game wasn't so lucky and has a pretty good build for act one and the white mobs take so long for her to kill. She's like minmaxed the start of her grenade build and the shit is just wild compared to me just left clicking them with a busted ahh unique I just picked up randomly

[frank sundial]

When they say 'league' imagine d4 seasons. Started a new season, so make a new char!

[mental needle]

not rly a nerf, just different

[mental needle]

Grenades should absolutely one tap white mobs

issue is keeping them in the explosion

[snow jewel]

she takes like 5 shots to kill them, but we're in act one so I don't think grenades are really online yet?

[pine moss]

@elder edge no

[mental needle]

they got a ton of damage this patch, so long as her weapon is OK it should kill white mobs just fine

[snow jewel]

her filler damage and arrow shots don't really seem to be doing enough compared to mine like not even close

I mean I'll have to check with her later then

but still idk why they would bulk up the mobs lol didn't we complain about this in the other league and they had to nerf them?

[mental needle]

want a weapon with+physical or %physical, early game flat elemental damage is also fine. Consider slotting a rune or two in the weapon for some extra damage.

Mobs were not buffed for this patch, save like a few bosses

just got a small nerf in campaign via hotfix though

[snow jewel]

oh characters were nerfed though or something?

[mental needle]

in the lategame, heavily, most early game skills are buffed or the same as before

i guess the only widespread monster buff is that they inflict ailments a little easier

[snow jewel]

weird everything feels stronger than before. I don't remember having anywhere near as much trouble on my witch last league killing anything like I have with the huntress rn

I basically pathed afk with ED and Contagion

[mental needle]

yeah I've heard spear early is pretty rough

most people seem to be solving with rake+stomping ground

[snow jewel]

I got a unique spear that makes me only able to melee, but she's rocking a bow and it doesn't seem to be working for her atm lol

[narrow violet]

its recommended yeah, you get to go thru normal progression with a fresh balance

[mental needle]

good weapon can carry you hard for a handful of levels

[buoyant cloud]

Are the dungeons that used to be in the cemetary, now both in Grim Tangle?

[mental needle]

no, same place

[harsh rune]

Did the hotfixes make levelling any less painful?

[buoyant cloud]

I ask as Cemetery of the Eternals was in Grim Tangle

[mental needle]

I don't know what you mean by that

the exit to cemetary was always from tangle

[buoyant cloud]

That used to be in the cemetary

[snow jewel]

alway been like that

that is the cemetery lol

[mental needle]

I'm being gaslit :(

[quiet fossil]

I like the unique drop rate in act 1

[buoyant cloud]

OMG im an idito

Sorry :D:D:D

when I first zoned in I thought i was in a dungeon - but clearly i was incorrect

[stone narwhal]

Hi all, can someone help me to kill Ekbab, in act 2? kirj1543#8747

[opaque flare]

oh its permanent if i stay there

how do i make the slash thing stay it goes even if i stay in the middle and procc the tornado

im confused

[mental needle]

if you throw twisters from it it consumes the whirlwind to get the buff

[opaque flare]

ahhh i see

makes sense

[opaque flare]

what supports do you suggest

[hard blade]

Can uniques be useful in a bleed build for huntress due to how far the nodes are?

[mental needle]

no clue, I''m not playing spears

[mental needle]

There are unique jewels for such stuff, but they're very endgame

you don't need every bleed node to make it work anyhow

[hard blade]

So they are most likely gonna go for mercenary class if running bleed

[mental needle]

You certainly could

I have no way of knowing what will be the meta for bleed builds

[tall iron]

How do I migrate my stash to normal league from HC? I died my char moved but my stash items stuck in HC League?

[mental needle]

no convenient way afaik, just have to take a character in, take the stuff out of stash and kill them

then put the stuff in your sc staff from that character

[tall iron]

Oof, gotta make suicide char just to migrate stash then? Gotcha. Thx 🙏

[naive hedge]

ooo patch?

[modest ruin]

anyone needs help?

[worthy drum]

[north sage]

hey can anyone help me kil the elephant and wizard duo in act 2 on the new league ive been stuck here for like 40 min

[vapid crag]

Might try lightning rod + galva shards combo..

[mental needle]

jamanra is lightning resistant

so he's p hard for lightning build

[vapid crag]

Damn

I mean i have 40% light pen

[opaque flare]

How do I stay to create the twister tornados against bonuses if I need to stay in the centre for 3 attacks I need to dodge attacks in between for clearing packs it’s good cuz I won’t just get annihilayed

[rigid wagon]

gets to act 2\

[weak cedar]

You can move with the skill if you mouse a little away from your character and use it, its like a short dash, you keep your stages as you do this

[modern relic]

When it says "Increased mana leech", does it just give you mana leech or do you already have to have it for it to work?

[mental needle]

you need base mana leech in the first place

[modern relic]

figured. mana regen jewel it is since I picked the wrong venom

[lapis oracle]

I was gonna do minions into spectre build with lich but am not sure how to level up in campaign with minions, any quick crash course ?

[modern relic]

I really wish they let you change it

[lapis oracle]

nvm I kept reading minions isnt going well

[crystal delta]

Whats the build for quicky getting through acts? Skill I want isnjt until like level 30+ :/

[maiden ledge]

For the sisters of gharuukan isn't there a drop when you first kill them?

[elder ember]

pressing the dodge button at the right time

[crystal delta]

@elder ember Im in the new player campaign help, im not asking in the standard channel c:

[lapis oracle]

he got a point

[elder ember]

any build can clear campaign

you just have to have some kind of plan. like focusing on a single damage type

dont try to do lots of different things at once

respeccing is cheap so you can change your build completely later on

obviously you will want to pick the ascnedancy that youre gonna take to endgame because you cant change that

[odd hedge]

could anyone tell me how the "Supporting Fire" skill from the new mercenary works? shouldnt i get some minnions from it? do i understand the description wrong?

[final geyser]

No, there are no actual Minions, the skill just deals damage as though it's Minion damage.

[elder ember]

that sounds terrible

[odd hedge]

why is the description of the skill then "minion" type and says" recruit artillery minions that take up positions behind you" ??

[hybrid star]

they are offscreen, always

[odd hedge]

thats stupid, i totallty thought i had some minions on screen

what a terrible description lol

[elder ember]

"off screen" isnt exactly lore appropriate lingo

so they say "behind you"

[odd hedge]

smth must be wrong with the skill, i cant use it?

[coral marlin]

what the hell did drop here?

[elder ember]

put the command skill on your bar

[hybrid star]

is it the Command skill?

[small birch]

guys, is it possible to start the league as SSF and then swap to regular league?

[mental needle]

Window to Paradise Barricade Tower Shield

[odd hedge]

it is

[opaque flare]

Yes but you can’t transfer back to ssf

[hybrid star]

who brings a window to a fight?

[odd hedge]

but its grayed out and unsuable

[elder ember]

do you have the stat reqs

[coral marlin]

is this rlly 1 divine or more?

[quiet fossil]

Anyones game having issues rendering the environment after closing your chars menu?

[small birch]

and how can one do so?

[opaque flare]

Main menu

Well
Character select

[mental needle]

No clue

[odd hedge]

cant find any stat reqs for it

[mental needle]

looks nice for magma barrier

or just a weapon swap for free exposure

[hard blade]

Did they change where u exit into Clearfall?

[elder ember]

oh lmao, sorry. there isnt a stat requirement

[odd hedge]

xd well.... so is my ascendency already fucked then?

[elder ember]

is there two skills? just from reading the description

[opaque flare]

Does attack speed only affect my default attack or skills aswell

[final geyser]

It's randomized with every league. You can also see that the layout of the world map is different.

[elder ember]

all attack skills

[final geyser]

All Attacks. If the gem has the 'Attack' tag, it should be affected.

Unless it specifies otherwise, of course

[odd hedge]

yea no its only one skill, i reloaded the instance and now i can fire it but im highly disappointed that i dont get any minions from it xd

[hard blade]

Ah thanks

[elder ember]

watch the video from ggg, they show using the skill. its just a big ass rain of arrows fired from off screen

[odd hedge]

yea i realised that now, didnt watch anything before, and the skill description def reads as if i could summon some minions 😦

[mental needle]

For all scaling intents and purposes it is a minion

just not a body

[elder ember]

seems really bad because why would you spec into minions on a merc

[mental needle]

they got new minion nodes

[hard blade]

Can u use snipers mark on huntress?

[mental needle]

and a bunch of support on tactician

You can use sniper's mark on anyone

so long as you meet the attribute reqs

[hard blade]

Good because I kinda want to remove disengage skill

[stuck pendant]

can someone pls help me kill first boss in act 1?

[topaz junco]

#2┃looking-for-group

[elder ember]

bloated miller? bruh

[mental needle]

put some respect on the miller

[hasty remnant]

what ascendancy is better for minions?

[mental needle]

we don't know, league jsut started

just play something

[elder ember]

infernalist probably

🤷

[hard blade]

I just want to use buckler as a parry I don't need It to be tedious to get a frenzy charge

[mental needle]

if ur parrying anyways it's not tedious

[maiden ledge]

Where do I go for the first ascendancy?

[mental needle]

trial of sekhemas in act 2

you need to kill balbala and get her barya, then clear halani gates

then you use the desert map to go to trial

[maiden ledge]

Where is balbala

[mental needle]

traitor's passage

[maiden ledge]

k thnx

[hard blade]

Ya just ragebaiting it rn but sorry

Should I go for ritualist ascendecy or Amazon?

[half vigil]

what new classes did they add

[frank sundial]

Anyone that has played enough huntress to compare it to ranger: is the dps similar on ranged abilities?
I didn't play much but it felt like like the jav throw is slow and doesnt do much dmg compared to the ranger basic shoot arrow

[stuck pendant]

last boss i mean XD

[maiden ledge]

Is Balbala near the Halani gates? or no?

[frank sundial]

Dodge is your friend!
When he disappears and theres the fog circle around, dodge when he stops talking its when he charges.

[mental needle]

her zone is right before the gates

[mental needle]

Spears need frenzy charges for their throws to be powerful

you're meant to play ranged and melee

can't go full ranged without really good frenzy charge generation

[frank sundial]

Oh ok, guess ill stick to ranger as first character then! Ty

[dense fulcrum]

Yo can someone help me kill geonor? ❤️

[trim turret]

Comparing DPS output of classes based on their basic attacks is just silly anyway.

[elder ember]

#2┃looking-for-group

[trim turret]

#2┃looking-for-group if you're trying to get boss help people. Or fix your builds.

[elder ember]

yeah if you cant kill a boss, getting someone to carry you only delays you from the inevitable issue of fixing your build

[strange mist]

anyone got ideas whos most op class could be or which is nearly to op? looks like all classes are messed up

[quiet fossil]

So far lightning ranger is just as good as last season

Imo

[elder ember]

come back in a week with that question

[mystic shale]

So I just got a divine in act III. Any idea what you could buy with it that early into the league ?

[elder ember]

search on trade site and filter for listings selling for divines lol

[mental needle]

if you aren't struggling you could also just hold onto it

will go up

[mystic shale]

But wont thesy go down since more players will get some ?

[elder ember]

no because exalts will be more valuable early in the league

most likely will follow the same trend as 0.1

[mental needle]

Divines have next to no practical value early in the league

they gain value as people chase high rolls on good items (uniques mostly.)

[mystic shale]

ok. thanks for the advice

[frank sundial]

Im a silly new player, hi! 😅

[mental needle]

you're basically evaluating if whatever you buy with the divine will give you enough power/speed to make more profit than whatever value it will gain over time

[tough marlin]

is there any difference in build damage for softcore and hardcore? i’m following a build for hardcore but i’m playing softcore

[mental needle]

which I can't really tell you since I'm not that intimately familiar with the market, your build, and what's good for it.

[mental needle]

There are no differences at all in the balance of the game

hardcore builds are just more defense oriented p much

[tough marlin]

thanks

[elder ember]

defences are valued much much higher in hardcore

because die=game over

[vernal stone]

amazon or deadeye LA/gasarrow?

[quiet fossil]

Personal preference imo

[zealous vessel]

0.2 coop is utter crap 😦 takes AAAGES to kill anything, and reviving still takes way to long to be any fun.

[weary parrot]

Hey everone! I have a question: do poison gas clouds and toxic growth explosions considered projectiles and arrows?

[odd hedge]

could i equip a focus etc for max spirit on one bar summon minions then swap to a diff weapon and keep the minions? or do i lose them if i dont have the spirit on the other weapon set?

[mental needle]

You need the spirit to maintain them

[odd hedge]

damn, so no crossbow minion mercenary 😦

[mental needle]

Well

with that one tactician node that shares your weapon damage you definitely could

[odd hedge]

and just get spirit with armor/ jewlery?

[mental needle]

but you will lack spirit without a sceptre, so that's more of a totem thing IMO

or you could run a 1h weapon for the share and then a sceptre

or 2h+sceptre with giant's blood but that is going to require insane attributes or a shitty base type weapon

[zealous vessel]

Eff this, in out of this league untill something major changes

.2 just isnt fun ... at all
and this is someone thats been palying arpgs since D1.

Feels like GGG doesnt respect players, and just want them to suffer

[mental needle]

ok

please yap in #2┃general

[vapid crag]

Arent this mod supposed to be only +65 level?

GGG what is happening

[mental needle]

I think that's just for rares

[jagged moon]

Hello, on the trading website how do i switch to the dawn of the hunt league? i only see the online in league option but i dont think that shows the dawn of the hunt one cause there are items listed 20 days ago

[final geyser]

The league selection is a drop down

[marble oak]

Is there a way to handle the mana drain from necromatic conduit early? im almost instantly out of mana on act 2 xD

[jagged moon]

I dont have it for some reason

Oh i had to refresh the page 😭 sorry guys

[strange vigil]

I don’t know I had the same thing happen to me I just powered through and did 10 minute boss fights basic attacking with wand and minions. Early into act 3 the mana problems just kinda went away with better flasks

I didn’t have enough gold to respec lol

[trim turret]

So you want to be more free thinking in your idea of what a class is and what it does. Ranger can use melee weapons if you want. And the amount of damage a class does, isn't about the class. It's about the build. Gear, passives, skills, ascendancy.

@frank sundial

[mental needle]

yeah you can play a bow on huntress no problem

[frank sundial]

Thanks
I just noticed the damage being so different at start and wanted to know if it changed later to be similar cause i feel that its easier to dodge when you have a higher rate of fire.

[noble nest]

How do you reset the bind spectre gem? don't have this much spirit for the current one

[trim turret]

Different weapon types and bases have different stats and interact with skills in different ways. Apples and oranges.

[trim turret]

You don't, you get a new gem.

[frank sundial]

I still cant wrap around the idea that any class can play any build, too many years playing mmos and diablo i guess

[trim turret]

I mean, doesn't mean its going to be good. But explosive arrow totem witch was an amazing build in POE1.

[frank sundial]

I didn't even finish act3 before the patch so im as noob as one can be, but i was enjoying ranger and the electric arrow abilities and i think ill give it another go

[harsh rune]

anyone know a good levelling skill for merc? im stuck on geonor act 1 using galvanic shards and armour piercing rounds

[valid sky]

Can someone explain why 1) increases the fragmentation rounds aoe explosion (from freeze) and 2) doesnt?

I'm very confused

is it just bugged?

[empty crest]

#do people use premium tabs or quad premium tabs? any reason i wouldnt just buy more premium tabs vs a couple quads?

just tryna spend the free gold before i do something stupid w it'

[modest ruin]

depends if you trade or ssf

[trim turret]

Wait for the stash tab sale. And it's preference.

[empty crest]

thanks king

[cunning mantle]

Can someone please tell me why the hell is my Perfect Strike does not channel faster like in a freaking video? I have window of opportunity support all I see is red ping after 2.5-3 seconds

[odd hedge]

if a skill says minions deal more dmg, and minons are "summonded allies" and allies are "other players minions and any other entity that fights alonside you" does that mean a totem like ripwire ballista would benefit from the extra dmg?

[mental needle]

totems are totems

not minions

they are allies though

[hasty remnant]

should i be using exalt in act 1 or save?

[quartz wren]

will cosmetic items from poe1 be available in poe2?

[outer wadi]

how does "poisoning the vine" in Vine Arrow works? I can't target or it hit, so I assume is with the explosion of poison burst?

[mental needle]

yes, eventually all of them @quartz wren

[quartz wren]

thanks

[mental needle]

of course assuming they're in the game, like you won't get an MTX for a skill that doesn't exist obv

[odd hedge]

yea i know im just trying to understand the tooltip, and the minion tooltip says minons are "summoned allies" and the allies tooltip says allies are "[...] any other entity that fights alngside you and has its own stats" which would be the case for a totem like my ballista? so im wondering if i could buff my totems with minion dmg

[quartz wren]

yeah, I mean about like wings and portals, such things

cause now it says is not supported in this game version
nothing mentioning they will be available in future so I got thoughts

[mental needle]

yep they'll all be here eventually

[quartz wren]

good

[iron jetty]

is lightning arrow deadeye still the best class in the game?

[mental needle]

No they don't benefit from minion mods, they are totems not minions.

They do inherit your character bonuses though, totems that is.

Like if you have 100% proj damage your totems get that

[mental needle]

Never was, but we don't know the meta yet

[iron jetty]

or should i go the new warrior ascendancy?

[odd hedge]

makes sense, for someone who is quite new and trying to understand the game via ingame tooltips this is kinda hard, i feel like a lot of tooltiips are worded in a way that just doenst reflect what is the case

[iron jetty]

it aint gonna be huntress unless theres a new unique that just kabooms the damage or removes the button mashing. people like being lazy and op

[marble oak]

is there something changed to drop rates? Im in middle of act 2 and I haven't seen a single exalted orb 😐

[mental needle]

totems tell you they aren't minions

on the totem tag

[toxic moat]

Act 2 Jamanra with xbow, any advice? Galvanic literally does nothing

[iron jetty]

bruh it was gemling if u had the capital or sparksorc / lightning deadeye

shi man if the new meta is minons im all in but i severly doubt it

[odd hedge]

true, my stupid ass didnt see that xd

[tardy mauve]

how do you fight against enemies with shields in tombs when you have crossbow?

[trim turret]

Galvanic what? Get a better crossbow. What support gems are you using? What other skills are you using?

[mental needle]

Yeah, gotta look everywhere.

[hard cosmos]

anyone here can carry me on act 2 final boss? ive been stuck here for 5 fucking hours pls im begging

[modest ruin]

I can check trouble shoot your build instead

[hard cosmos]

its completly dogshit and i cannot change it its that simple

[modest ruin]

you mind if i see?

[hard cosmos]

oaky so how?

[dusky burrow]

that's the spirit!

[hard cosmos]

i dont have gold to change it, im not getting anything even after farming so how would you want me to change it

yall are a bunch of whiny babies holy shit. time to close discord and enjoy my time xd

[narrow dove]

Am I missing something with parrying and trying to get stacks...? So for the Amazon, I want to get frenzy charges. I need to get in to melee range, wait for something to attack me, use parry, then use disengage, get a frenzy stack, and THEN attack?

[mental needle]

early game yes

you're meant to play melee and ranged, not just throw spears

[feral saffron]

oh ye AMAZING GAMEPLAY TAKE OUT ANVIL for 5 seconds to charge next 4 attacks then repeat

its a working meme lol

[mental needle]

Yeah it's crazy that they make you take that node when you play smith

actually every node on the ascendancy is hit anvil

[harsh rune]

what skills good on merc?

[trim turret]

Depends what youre building. It's not as simple as good/bad skills in many cases.

[thin dawn]

i forgor where to get the other half of the medalliopn

[trim turret]

I previously used permafrost bolts and fragmentation rounds for a freeze/explode combo that worked well.

[thin dawn]

where is it lmao

[trim turret]

One of the other zones you have to run when building the horn.

It drops randomly.

[mental needle]

it's keth and bone pits

[thin dawn]

am i missing anything if i dont complete it

like extra passive points

[mental needle]

permanent flask/charm bonus yeah

[trim turret]

Yes, a permanent bonus.

[digital pollen]

does anyone know what level i should be doing my ascendancy on a lightning spear huntress? ( i feel really weak on single target units btw)

[thin dawn]

man

also what does the door mean

i know that the plus signs are passive points

or some other thing

[trim turret]

It's not a set level. Whenever you feel like you can handle it.

[thin dawn]

is this also a permanent bonus

[vague prairie]

[harsh rune]

just trying to level until I get artillery ballista, but every skill I try sucks

[plucky walrus]

Yo someone know ?

[hard cosmos]

so how much do ppl take for a boss carry?

[mental slate]

I think most ppl will do boss carry in campaign for free. but they might charge a fee for map boss or other bosses

[trim turret]

Well again, they arent meant to be used in a vacuum. It depends which support gems, passives, how youre combo-ing them with other skills. Permafrost bolts and fragmentation rounds worked really well for me since fragmentation gets a huge damage bonus to frozen enemies. One-two punch.

[hard cosmos]

ive asked multiple times and noone helps so i dotn think thats true tho

[trim turret]

We usually recommend also trying to improve your build first.

[harsh rune]

for me that combo was incredibly weak

[maiden ledge]

How is there still no way to search for psuedo mods?...

[hard cosmos]

idk how to tho so icannot do that

[mystic iron]

Not sure where else to ask, but is there somewhere in early A2 I can farm for gold and uncut gems? I desperately need to respec, I don't think this build is working out.

[trim turret]

Hence the existence of this help channel.

[trim turret]

Nowhere in particular.

[trim turret]

Then maybe you need a better crossbow.

All attack damage is derived from your weapon.

[maiden ledge]

What's the best trade mod search app? One that includes psuedo resistances?

[hard cosmos]

thanks but telling me i can get help isnt helping, since idk whats wrong with my build or gear or skills or skill or or or

[trim turret]

Well getting carried isn't going to improve you. You'll still have the same problems. We ask standard questions. What skills are you using for damage? How are your resistances? Are you dying a lot or doing poor damage?

[lusty ice]

I would stop playing this league until they fix how shit everything is.

Helpful advice

[trim turret]

Take it someplace else.

[lusty ice]

Ruh roh shaggy

[trim turret]

You being insufferable in a help channel does nobody any good.

[hard cosmos]

im using a bleed amazon buid mainly rake, resistances are all pretty much at 0 besides fire or lighnting (just one of them) is around 50%, im dying a shitton and the bossfight takes me more then 15mins

[trim turret]

Whats your weapon look like?

[lusty ice]

No thanks lil bro bro, I’m providing helpful advice to new players struggling.

[harsh rune]

is this any good?

[trim turret]

Elemental and lightning damage do nothing for bleed.

[lusty ice]

Ideally you want to find % phys damage.

[trim turret]

You want a weapon with a lot of physical damage.

[static nymph]

Did they restart servers for HP nerf to mobs yet?

[hard cosmos]

i dont have such a thing and i dont have gold. (ive grinded for like 30mins and im tired of farming for nothing lmao)

[solid maple]

anyone down to help me with trail?

[trim turret]

It's ok for super early. Depends where you are.

which boss do you need to kill? which act? i will try my best to help you to kill it

[hard cosmos]

act 2 fb

[mental needle]

that xbow should be fine to beat geonor, not like amazing but it's ok.

[trim turret]

Then grab some trash gear, sell it, look for better weapon bases, use some crafting materials on white bases if need be. Artificers orbs and runes can also help.

[maiden ledge]

What's the best trade mod search app? One that includes psuedo resistances?

[harsh rune]

well time to uninstall xd

[midnight briar]

minions feel so horrible

[boreal tulip]

they removed grim feast 😦

[boreal tulip]

what lv are you

[hard cosmos]

32

[trim turret]

You could just try another build. Sounds like you need to focus more on getting life and resists on gear, save your resources more, and have a better understanding of what mods you need on your weapon.

[wicked thorn]

Smith of Kitava looks super cool, any feedback on it yet? The body armor and elemental resists sounds awesome.

[boreal tulip]

what's yr build

[hard cosmos]

im not gonna start all over for nothing xd

[hard cosmos]

bleed huntress (amazon)

[mental needle]

idk what the general best levelling stuff for xbow is.

[trim turret]

The smithing skill sucks apparently.

[boreal tulip]

whats the issue with jamanra

[trim turret]

Opportunity to try a new class/build.

[wicked thorn]

Aww no way, really? How?

[mental needle]

pretty good for the resists/armor crafting, temper weapon looks a little suspect, not sure about animate weapon

[trim turret]

It plays a full on animation and works for the next...4 attacks.

[hard cosmos]

thats why im playing huntress and not gemling/monk or witch again.

[mental needle]

fire spell on hit has potential

[hard cosmos]

everything

[boreal tulip]

i went with ice shotgun and nades. puts them down pretty fast

[boreal tulip]

kek...

dodge his shit

[hard cosmos]

his dmg, my dmg, my heals, my armor, his attacks, etc

[hard cosmos]

thx for nothing

[boreal tulip]

you need to dodge boy

[high jasper]

do people level new characters and try skills out and then endgame reset their passives when they know what works for endgame? or are u supposed to know the build first before leveling?

[boreal tulip]

i can get through jamanra using like 3 flasks

[trim turret]

Ideally builds start at level 1, give or take. Theres always room for adjustments as you go

[mental needle]

It's ideal to have a plan, but respeccing is reasonably cheap, it's fine to make some passive tree mistakes.

[boreal tulip]

justs costs more to be uncertain

but doable

[lucid fox]

Can someone help me through act 1 on the new league

[hard cosmos]

i swear this comm is so dogshit

[compact thorn]

is there a PoB for 0.2?

[boreal tulip]

are you on trade league? beg for items if you don't want to engage with content

but jamanra is totally doable

fuck you fr

[trim turret]

Don't think yet.

[hard cosmos]

just toxic thats all you are

[boreal tulip]

dude you're just mad you're bad at the game

is that my fault

[wicked thorn]

I'm pretty casual, it sounds super tanky. I'm tired of just launching grenades, I think I'll try this guy out

[boreal tulip]

i've lost like 50 HC chars, who did i yell at? nobody

[trim turret]

I offered advice and you responded all snarky like to every bit of it.

[hard cosmos]

i want someone to either help me with him or tell me what i need to change exactly, why my build doesnt work, youre just telling me im shit and i shoudl get gud

[hard cosmos]

how

[boreal tulip]

your build doesn't work because you aren't dodging

[trim turret]

I told you why your weapon sucks on a bleed build.

[boreal tulip]

no build will work if you facetank everything

[mental needle]

I mean you were told what you could change and then said you couldn't change it.

[hard cosmos]

thanks for that now i know that

[boreal tulip]

this is a harder game than poe1, you need to dodge

all the time

[hard cosmos]

cuz i have no gold for it

[boreal tulip]

or block, is your amazon using a shield?

[hard cosmos]

and ive been farming for 30mins

[boreal tulip]

30min isn't a long time for farming :/

[mental needle]

well it's farm, fresh start, or get carried

[wicked thorn]

How tanky is the Smith?

[mental needle]

if you want carry it's #2┃looking-for-group

[wicked thorn]

The inherent elemental resistance and crafting your armor sounds so cool

[mental needle]

quite

going from 75% resist to 90% is a 60% damage reduction against elemental

[boreal tulip]

lmao "hard yarr"

[hard cosmos]

noone carries me there so that option is not there for me xd

[boreal tulip]

just have a little patience, someone will help

[tacit onyx]

Uhm is a theft of ivory bugged?
Killed the bosses the tusks didnt dorp

[wicked thorn]

Yes haha

I play SOT if you can't tell

That's also my warriors name now, HardYar

[boreal tulip]

i'm so bummed they removed grim feast 😦

and why did they neuter skellies

[trim turret]

Make sure you're salvaging anything with quality/sockets, and disenchanting/selling other stuff.

[hard cosmos]

so where can i farm if i jsut die in the dreadnaught? whats the next best spot to farm

[mental needle]

also pick up and craft every white spear.

[boreal tulip]

i mean i could give you a whole guide lukas but you don't sound like you have the patience to play how i play

[mental needle]

Keth has good mob density

[boreal tulip]

deshar

but dodge the vultures...

[mental needle]

dreadnought is def the ideal farm though

[hard cosmos]

im sure it is, but i just die once 3 or more mobs hit me

[boreal tulip]

you wanna stay somewhere around 2-3 levels to you

i prefer open areas like deshar

[mental needle]

yeah, keth is fine IMO

[boreal tulip]

deshar also has two rare vultures per instance that give good drops

[mental needle]

it also has a treasure vault with a guaranteed piece of jewellery

yeah either prob fine

[boreal tulip]

do you have any regals or exalts @hard cosmos ?

[hard cosmos]

so what do i choose then?

[boreal tulip]

start with keth, if it's easy go to deshar

if you have a regal, look for a blue spear with the highest +phys you can find

and regal it

and socket it

and add more phys

[hard cosmos]

no

[boreal tulip]

[hard cosmos]

i mean i already used all of my regals and exalts on spears

but they where all dogshit

[boreal tulip]

yeah... it happens

you need to comb the vendors when you level up

[high jasper]

is frost sorc still viable for end game? im leveling one now and it seems decent and fun

[mental needle]

time for the trusty transmutation orb

[boreal tulip]

yeah even a blue can work for you

[hard cosmos]

dont have gold for that

[boreal tulip]

if it has good phys

i feel you... sometimes it's best to start with an OP char to get your personal economy up.

[mental needle]

Cold spells basically all got buffs or stayed the same aside from frost wall.

[hard cosmos]

is there any way to get a spear somewhat guaranteed

[boreal tulip]

i always start with a witch because it's a cheap char to get into midgame

[mental needle]

so it's only nerfed if you were mana stacking/archmage before

[boreal tulip]

and start finding better shit and gold

[hard cosmos]

tbf ill just farm for like an hour longer and then uninstall if i cant beat him

ive already been stuck here for the whole day

[boreal tulip]

you 100% can beat him if you dodge well

he doesn't heal

look for a hp flask with .20 charge per second or whatever

a self-refilling one

[hard cosmos]

dont have a good health flask

[civic marlin]

lf help with viper already 50+ deaths on her

[hard cosmos]

trust me im looking for them every single lvl up

[boreal tulip]

seems like first league char problems

it is tough for the first char

nothing to inherit

[hard cosmos]

yeah if the fight wouldnt take 20mins id be able to beat him im sure

[boreal tulip]

yeah, just dmg + better flask

got lightning res?

[hard cosmos]

ill try to get it by farming for a bit, if i dont get it im done ngl

yeah like 50ish percent for him

[boreal tulip]

ok

i play the long game over multiple chars to get over the economy issues

they benefit from each other's progress that way

but you do you

[hard cosmos]

i mean last league i played alot but this is truly the least fun ive had in the game

[boreal tulip]

maybe huntress just isn't for you

[hard cosmos]

im not restarting its that simple

as i said

[midnight briar]

witch does like 0 damage any tips lmao

[hard cosmos]

ill grind for like an hour and if i cant beat him then ill just uninstall and find another game

[boreal tulip]

what build

[midnight briar]

I have chaos but still does 0 damage on act 2 last boss

[boreal tulip]

essence drain main skill?

[midnight briar]

yea

both weapons with 40%+ chaos damage aswell

[mental needle]

using despair curse?

[boreal tulip]

you took the +chaos nodes? you have a good wand with +skill ?

[midnight briar]

no + skill just 40% chaos damage

twice

[boreal tulip]

look for +skill

makes way more difference

+2 or 3 if you can

skill dmg is the base, 40% is the multiplier

[midnight briar]

will try I guess but getting +skill is not that easy xd

[boreal tulip]

gamble if you have $

or regal blues, etc

Regal Blues, my favorite bar band

but anyway, chaos build just takes time

the benefit is that you can hit and run

and definitely keep him cursed

[midnight briar]

im not 31 yet

[hard cosmos]

so what are the best perks on a spear for a bleed build?

[midnight briar]

maybe I should level more

[boreal tulip]

yeah level to 32+

imo

easy to do

[mental needle]

clear dreadnaught a couple times

it's tons of xp

[boreal tulip]

bleed depends on phys dmg

so that, and aggravate bleeding

idk other ways to improve bleed

[mental needle]

yeah you just want as much phys damage as possible

[boreal tulip]

crit i guess

crits will do more bleed

[mental needle]

yeah but that's liek whatever early, you can't invest in crit on tree much

[hard cosmos]

how do i get spears tho? like what venor? act 2 vendor only sells 3 spears max right?

[boreal tulip]

yeah i would not advise anything but phys

for campaign

[mental needle]

they can have more than 3

[boreal tulip]

all vendors

[mental needle]

it's random

have 0 sometimes

[boreal tulip]

you're just looking for good blues

act1 could have something

[mental needle]

gambler has infinite

[boreal tulip]

what's up with the gambling limit

how does it refill

[midnight briar]

whats the rotation on chaos btw

[boreal tulip]

wdym

[midnight briar]

do I need to spam contagion aswell?

or just for duration

[boreal tulip]

you could stack multiple DOT

[hard cosmos]

i swear ive ever only seen 1 of them sell em

[boreal tulip]

that's fine

[midnight briar]

ok

[boreal tulip]

main thing is to keep him cursed

and keep the dot on him

[hard cosmos]

does anyone have a trash early spear for me? even whites work

[mental needle]

kill unique enemy

[boreal tulip]

interesrting

[mental needle]

I think it's to discourage degenerate unique gambling for super cheap

[boreal tulip]

anyway ive been running ranged huntress with lightning spear and i think "volt"? adds lightning when you move between shots... it's crazy for mobs

feels like a javazon in d2

[mental needle]

Volt looked really good

[boreal tulip]

it's sick

for mobile build

she has like 30% move and just circle strafes

and shield 🙂

[boreal tulip]

idgi because those uniques aren't useful past a1 generally

economy thing?

[mental needle]

I mean just look at pillar last league

there are valuable low level uniques

[obsidian lichen]

yo anyone know how to fix filterblades basetype error

[boreal tulip]

i see

i have a couple good all level uniques

but most of them felt very situational

[mental needle]

Like if thorns is good briarpatch are going to be valuable this league for example

lvl 11

can corrupt up to like base +30% thorns crit.

[hard cosmos]

@boreal tulip this any good?

[boreal tulip]

it's a good start

[mental needle]

kinda low level

what's the damage on your other?

[boreal tulip]

just look for the highest phys you can

[hard cosmos]

i dont have anyhing to upgrade it tho

[boreal tulip]

i mean you can see the diff on skills panel when you swap

go with the higher number

[hard cosmos]

i mean that is the highest i can get xd

[boreal tulip]

...for now

patience

[hard cosmos]

might be forever ngl

[boreal tulip]

[hard cosmos]

i tried the boss again with this one

died again

[boreal tulip]

i mean we can't stop you from uninstalling

can you make it to jamanra phase 2?

[hard cosmos]

i mean its not rly fun to just die and die xd

i mean yeah easily

[boreal tulip]

so what kills you?

aoe spam?

[hard cosmos]

yes

tornados

[boreal tulip]

gotta keep moving

[hard cosmos]

his portals and elec mopstly

[mental needle]

wait rly

I swear his first phase is scarier

[boreal tulip]

those all need to be dodged

like... 100% dodged

[hard cosmos]

his first is free i dont even use potions there

[hard cosmos]

i wont be able to do that sadly

[boreal tulip]

i feel like you are going for damage when you should be defending

you need to wait for good moments to hit

[hard cosmos]

i dont wanna have a monster hunter fight in this game tho xd

[boreal tulip]

well, that's how the game is

[hard cosmos]

it takes already 20mins before i die

[boreal tulip]

[mental needle]

not rly

[last crest]

[boreal tulip]

in terms of knowing when to hit and not

[hard cosmos]

so youre telling me 40-50mins bossfights are to be expect from the new league?

[boreal tulip]

it's souls-ish

you cannot just hit and hit and expect to live

[boreal tulip]

no, that's due to your dmg

bosses should take about 5

[lilac basalt]

Did they buff act 2 boss? It feels strong as hell.

[boreal tulip]

it's possible

[mental needle]

his damage felt higher on a couple attacks to me

seems same tankiness

[hard cosmos]

how many horus/ days do i have to grind for that

[boreal tulip]

yuck, which ones
