[trim turret]

One is in keth, the other is in the bone pits.

[bitter bloom]

how hard is hardcore mode not blind, but also having never played

[hard blade]

Yea kinda I plan on getting the spear nodes last while aiming for physical + meele damage skill tree planning is hard for this class

[mental needle]

I'd say still hard this patch

You'll do fine against he bosses but the mobs will get ya

[azure lava]

Essence drain + Contagion

[mental needle]

well spells can't use heralds so I assume we're only talking attacks here.

[bitter bloom]

all im trying to do is get farther than elon

[mental needle]

Then it's easy

[trim turret]

I mean. Use the skill and try it if you want to. As always, you asking if you should use a random skill is a hard question to answer.

[azure lava]

Insanely hard. You're probably going to go through at least ten characters and maybe 100+ hours before you beat the campaign. Minimum. Unless you're some secret god gamer.

[clear vine]

any others?

[azure lava]

Anything with lich and cursesplosions

Any build that uses Infernal cry

[dark ridge]

been farming both for 1 hour now 😦

is it aspecial mob

[azure lava]

It's specificially the snake people

[high jasper]

whats the best way to get exalted orbs?

[mental needle]

snakes and hyenas iirc.

[trim turret]

Play the game and have lucky drops.

[azure lava]

Kill stuff quickly and efficiently. Ideally with some item rarity on gear

[clear vine]

okay ill ask one that more relates to me mb. If im doing a blind build, experimenting and testing diff things, would it be easy for me to find multiple different ways to do large aoes

[bitter bloom]

sweet, sounds fun, downloading it right now

[vivid valley]

no

[clear vine]

?

[vivid valley]

or at least not large aoes that do any damage

[trim turret]

I dunno how many you can find, but I'm sure you can find something. Some skills inherently have AOE and explosions built into them before you're adding support gems.

[clear vine]

and then can you add even more aoe to those skills quite easily

[vivid valley]

anyone else have an issue where lightning spear refuses to fire because you're aiming at an enemy behind a small obstacle?

[mental needle]

depends where you are in the skill tree

[trim turret]

Somewhat. But AOE usually is damage you aren't getting instead.

[mental needle]

top has good spell aoe, bottom left has good attack aoe

dex doesn't have much aoe

well, it can in the form of chain/pierce/fork/whatever, but not literal aoe.

[vivid valley]

everything's directional in 0.2

[muted hamlet]

im trying to capture a beast with haste, i guess a creature hasted is not same?

[mental needle]

hm?

[hard blade]

Hm I'm confused on what's element is effective against mobs

[bitter bloom]

is there any hardcore/specific channel? or a hardcore/specific discord?

[trim turret]

Gold. Very resistant. Grey. Somewhat resistant. Red. Weak.

[vivid valley]

Anyone?

[warm cave]

All the time

[vivid valley]

Okay, so is it intentional or a bug?

dyt

[warm cave]

Intentional kinda, idk if there is a "seeking" support to counter it maybe idk

[vivid valley]

hrm I'd love to disable it

[clever turret]

question, if it sais on the corpse of the enemy that it buffs fire damidge then when i summon it as a spectre will it keep that buff?

[vivid valley]

if it were configurable but meh

[muted hamlet]

and about this someone knows?

[mental needle]

SPectres don't keep their special affixes, only tamed beasts do.

Spectres must be a white mob afaik

[muted hamlet]

Whats the text that the creature have to have to give me haste

[mental needle]

Haste Aura

[muted hamlet]

love ya thx

[clever turret]

aigth tnx for the info, do you know what is a good spectre to have?

[mental needle]

No clue, not a minion enjoyer

[clever turret]

ah

aight

[azure lava]

Not that I know of. There is a hardcore thread in #1308715058716610580 but it was really dead last I checked

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1314997961473916992

[trim turret]

If its anything like POE1, depends on your specific minion build.

[azure lava]

Last post was on valentine's day lmao

[mental needle]

Looking for love in the HC thread

[clever turret]

i am really into havin a hord of minnions, in poe 1 i had alot of minions,

[trim turret]

That doesn't mean much. Most minion builds want a lot of them. My point is you want spectres to serve a role. In POE1, if you were using physical damage minions, a good spectre was one that made enemies weaker to physical damage. Maybe you want something thay can stun enemies. Or heal you ans your minions. Etc etc.

[clever turret]

ah, i understand then

is there a place i can go over each enemy so i can see what is best for me

[bitter bloom]

so do i play ssf hardcore or just hardcore? whats more fun?

[hallow plank]

Can anyone help I'm stuck on act 2 final boss

[mental needle]

Up to you, hardcore trade is kinda dead, but just depends if you wanna trade or not.

[bitter bloom]

what does hardcore trade mean, like theres next to no players to trade with in the first place?

can i make myself not SSF if i decide to try SSF?

while still keeping hc?

[mental needle]

Yes you can migrate

[mental needle]

it's just an unpopular league, most people "hardcore" enough to play HC do so SSF as well.

[drifting forge]

Is there a meta yet or not sure?

[mental needle]

Well maybe not most, but a large chunk

[echo sierra]

is demon form infernalist viable? i have seen zero builds on the internet so far and i cant find any to it 😦

[bitter bloom]

wait what class do i even play

whats good for hc/survivability?

[mental needle]

https://poe2.ninja/builds/ You can see the HC leaderboards/playrates here.

[simple oxide]

The Three Dragons Solid Mask can i farm this in the campaing ? or does it have a specific drop location ?>

[mental needle]

it's a random drop

[bitter bloom]

thats a whole lotta information thats difficult to understand :p

[simple oxide]

so , if im lucky to get it i get , if not i buy it , ok

[mental needle]

It just shows you the most popular classes for every ladder

in HC it's looking like Lich and Smith of Kitava

Witch and Warrior

[unkempt garnet]

Got home from work and iced Warden. This ele huntress build is starting to take shape. Getting major boosts from support 2 gems

[gentle ore]

what have guys been going for the snake q in a3 with Lich? Maybe elemental ailment threshold?

[viscid token]

Hey I need help. Me and my partner were trying to play, I'm ahead of him by a few quests. My campaign is taking me to the red vale. But his is taking him to clarfell, no problem. But when he tried to teleport to me it erased all his quests and now he's also going to the red vale? He JUST started so it skipped a lot of the starting quests. And no matter what he does he can't get back to his place in the campaign. is there any way for him to go back to his original quests? And a wH to prevent this from happening again?

[echo sierra]

you mean the reward from venom crypts?

[azure lava]

Sounds like a job for the bug report forums. There should be a link to them in the pins in #2┃general

[azure lava]

They halved our base ailment threshold in 0.2, so that's what I'd pick

[mental needle]

I prefer stun since ailment is kinda solved with a charm but stun charm is a lot worse, but at the end of the day the choice isn't all that big of a deal

[viral wave]

how do i open this , is it bugged?

[dusky burrow]

not sure if you need to identify

also hold + click to open it

[azure lava]

Smith of Kitava, chronomancer, pathfinder, titan, tactician, warbringer, and infernalist, imo, are the ascendancies with the most to offer for a hardcore build. Maybe chayula monk, but not sure

[high jasper]

im just starting with act 1 cruel, is it better to just vendor items for gold or disenchant them for transmutation orbs and regal orbs?

[bitter bloom]

wait am i even playing the right game?

which one did elon play, 1 or 2?

[mental needle]

disenchant for regals, but you shouldn't need to disenchant for transmutes

[bitter bloom]

and what do most people play? 1 or 2?

[hybrid star]

Elon the god-gamer only plays poe 2

[mental needle]

2 just came out so we don't really know the long term player base

not to mention it's still early access

[charred halo]

why cant i socket any gems into the leapslam skill, none of the support gems work

[mental needle]

cutting support gems is a bit bugged rn

[charred halo]

is there any fix?

[mental needle]

so long as you have the right attributes it will work, you just have to cut it and put it in manually

[charred halo]

right ok

ty

[vague jay]

I finished acted two and didnt see the altar.. I have the ascendancy thing in my inventory but went back to the town and continued in act 3.. I never done this before. Anyway i can go back to finish the quest for the ascendancy? Im not even too sure where to go.

[tawdry sluice]

anyone have a good boneshatter guide to followe?

[vapid heath]

hi, I can't get out of windowed fullscreen, game keeps crashing whenever i change any rendering/resolution ish settings
idk exactly where to post this but i figured cause i'm not even through the first act this is the best bet

[tawdry hatch]

i am wanting to try witch, and i like minion style; is arsonist my only avenue

[dark ridge]

hit a wall at level 30, 2nd Spire Zone of act 2. Mobs too fast, dmg too low

only way forward appears to be POE Trade. I have not got a gear upgrade since like lvl 8

This drop rate is intended? If so maybe launch won't be for me

[vivid valley]

Yes intended, yes sucks doing ssf

[stable swallow]

in story dose the Lava boss nesscessery?

like dose he give any stats or anything?

[boreal tulip]

optional

[vapid heath]

and windowed fullscreen isnt letting me set any keys as skills

[stark slate]

you could reconsider your passive and gem choices,

on top of that you can also farm items

[dark ridge]

its my gear 99% sure

i am using guide

[vapid heath]

first time i've been able to play since the new season and its not going well

[stark slate]

then farm,

play and enjoy the game

[dark ridge]

i'm having the exact opposite of enjoyment, but what should i farm

what zone

[zealous onyx]

Is there a certain spot that drops support gem 1 more frequently? I feel like I haven’t had any drop for hours

[boreal tulip]

the last zone that felt comfortable to clear

[dark ridge]

oh ok

[drowsy snow]

why am i not able to learn this? Oo

[boreal tulip]

do you have gold, regals, exalts?

[mental needle]

Reforge bench

[stable swallow]

dont need dont use o/ sooo skip till alter

later*

[dark ridge]

i have some i think. no exalts tho

[boreal tulip]

what's your build

[dark ridge]

im sorcerre lvling with ed/c but will change to frost once i get frostwall

[stark slate]

whatever the highest you can clear

[boreal tulip]

look for the highest +skill wand or staff you can manage to get your base dps up

[bitter bloom]

what patch version are we on

and how do i lookup builds for it

[mental needle]

0.2

[harsh bison]

Anyone running 4th ascendancy in standard?

[mental needle]

mobalytics or maxroll for build guides

[unkempt jewel]

LISTEN, Wtf do i do. Am hc SSf dawn hunt - finished my acsendancy trial, took my acsendancy and then i disconnected. I dont have the acsendancy and i cant redo the acsendancy. BRO WTF.

[raw pike]

Whats a stellar worth atm?

[woven portal]

anybody else randomly just get dced?

[heady prairie]

big server crash

[ionic sage]

yeah

[heady prairie]

luckily i had boss at 10%

[mental needle]

The duo vultures in Deshar have a guaranteed barya

[graceful pagoda]

anyone else having this bug?

[harsh bison]

I've been offering to pay 60 divs for a 4th ascendancy run in global and no one has been willing lol

[unkempt jewel]

bro its not that

i legit have to repeat trial

because servers are ass

i have to keep repeating sh cuz of rewinds

[mental needle]

Yeah but you said you lost the barya

I can't fix the servers so that's all I can tell you is there's a guaranteed backup

[unkempt garnet]

Ssf dropping gems like crazy atm

[rare hazel]

dc'd and lost all instance progress including level and inventory lmfao, first time data loss has ever happened to me in a game what are we doing ggg

[vague jay]

I dont have trials of sekhemas way point. And when i speak to zarka he has nothing. What do i do?

someone else is telling me im bugged..?

[mental needle]

Did you kill balbala and get her barya?

[mental needle]

I think it's bugged right now and you need specifically the one from Balbala. She's in traitor's passage.

Hers will have a green name

[vague jay]

Can i go back and re-do it?.. Im in act 3 atm.

Or is this bugged out for me?

[mental needle]

Yeah she'll still be there

[vivid valley]

servers are dying in AU

[harsh bison]

Just offered 100 div for a 4th ascendancy run. Weird how no one wants to do it now lol

[mental needle]

very few active players in standard

[harsh bison]

Nah... tons of active in standard. There wasn't any point in playing league when standard got all the same stuff

[modern tapir]

EU servers acting up for the last 10-15 minutes? or is it just me

[harsh bison]

Everyone paying 4x the original price for items. Just sold an 89 ingenuity for 600 div. Sold an att/res 5 socket morior for 700 div. Prices are crazy high right now

[mental needle]

So why do you need a carry if you have that kinda stuff? Save time?

[harsh bison]

Because it's a new toon... why else would I be willing to pay?

[wary lintel]

hey guys im a noob, im trying to do the ascent to power on my first campaign playhtorugh but its stuck saying "talk to zarka" but she has no dialogue options to proceed with the quest

[mental needle]

Did you kill Balbala and get her Barya?

[wary lintel]

i dont think so, where do i find her? im at the end of act 2

[unkempt jewel]

what ascendancy points u rec first for smith of kitava?

[vague jay]

This fixed it for me. thank you so much.

[mental needle]

She's in the traitor's passage

you need her barya, and then you talk to zarka and can go to trial with the desert map

[wary lintel]

tysm

[wintry tangle]

why isn't the temple of chaos showing up for me?

its jiquani's sanctum and machine shit thing and infested barrens

[obsidian furnace]

Anyone else play through all of A3 and only find 1 support gem? It's kinda driving me crazy now

[ancient jewel]

hey yall would you hold off on choosing sorc ascendency while the dust settles on builds? I'm in A2 and really starting to struggle, these boss fights are absolute slogs

[stuck plover]

What is the difference between "tame beast" and "raise specter"?

[mental needle]

beasts keep their mods and can only be beasts and you only get 1 unless you take the keystone. SPectres are just white mobs but you can summon as many as your spirit can afford.

[dire glade]

does the molten vault boss only drop a skill gem or something? nothing important like some of the other side bosses like perma resists?

[mental needle]

you need him for the reforge bench

[kind cargo]

How do I do the trial of sekhemas I have the coin but I can't travel there for some reason

[mental needle]

but you can come back later unless you need it urgently for a rune upgrade or smth

[dire glade]

oh ok ty

[mental needle]

You need the balbala barya specifically

[kind cargo]

@mental needle I have it but nowhere to travel

[mental needle]

does it have a green name?

and did you complete halani gates?

[kind cargo]

Yep on the titans quest

[mental needle]

If it has a green name then you should be able to talk to zarka and then desert map to the trial

it's bugged that it doesn't quest marker it correctly on the map, but it should be there

[kind cargo]

Found it thx i didn't know it was glitched

[rose pike]

I just reached maps and I can't turn in the quest for the venom draught anymore. where can I find the npc?

[mental needle]

I think there was a better fix for this but idr it, so in this case go to the jungle ruins and walk into town from there.

[rose pike]

oh let me try that

[median mantle]

Hi, how can I stop this?

My cat pressed some buttons on the keyboard and I can't find any solution

[worthy drum]

arrow keys move the map

[final python]

is this going to take honour on hit if they remove health etc ?

[waxen osprey]

can acrobatics evade red boss attacks?

[median mantle]

There must be some kind of bug, cuz nothing is pressing it

[worthy drum]

key stuck in pressed status for whatever reason who knows
just restart pc see what happens

[rigid wagon]

sigh queen of filth is a pain

[boreal tulip]

why

[rigid wagon]

I'm just underlevel a bit. I'm going back to take the side bosses that i missed along the way. that and some fresh gear usually does it. also, i need mopre chaos/poison resist

[calm hawk]

hellooo, does this node give me leech? or does it increase leech if i had it, and i have to get it from a gem

[dusky burrow]

0 * 1.1 = 0

[calm hawk]

ty, that's kind of what i thought

[dusky burrow]

you need leech from something like weapon or gloves for it to work

[boreal tulip]

improves leech, does not give it

[calm hawk]

is there a leech support gem?

[boreal tulip]

yes

[dusky burrow]

one for phys as life, one for phys as mana

[calm hawk]

thank you guys so much

[queen jungle]

Do increases and reductions to Crossbow Reload Speed also modify the speed of switching ammunition types?

[boreal tulip]

good q. no idea

[calm hawk]

i would imagine so

[queen jungle]

I would too but I'm not sure

[boreal tulip]

i believe that is a reload

[queen jungle]

A small piece of context that might indicate yes: the notable that increases damage per type of ammo fired recently, is preceded by increase reload speed minor nodes

[hoary pier]

Anyone can help me with Count Geonor?

[craggy gyro]

Will there be big changes to the game soon?

This shit sucks to play

[royal badge]

act 1?

[hoary pier]

yus

[royal badge]

sure, I'll help. IGN MainiacAgain

[calm hawk]

i'm currently playing temper weapon smith, it's very bad, but i'm going to see it fully and really judge it. There probably won't be major changes until the next season

like, 3 months or something again

[craggy gyro]

oh yeah fuck it ill just wait then

This game is honestly so dog. I play ARPG to turn off my brain. if I have to pay attention to play an ARPG it's dog sht

[calm hawk]

strongly disagree i cant play anything without having to think

and that's alright

[craggy gyro]

most people play arpg to experiment with builds, if I wanted to play a "hard game" I can just load up elden ring or dark souls

[royal badge]

er, try Mai7viac ign if you sent the invite. I didn't get one

[hoary pier]

I got some help, thanks though 😄

[final python]

what does this do ?

[dusky burrow]

radiant shrine from poe1 if you're familiar

+1 boon -1 affliction

[deft salmon]

Guys I'm looking for a viable ICE builds to choose from

[trim turret]

Having a decent build is what's supposed to bridge the gap between mindless arpg farming and focused "difficult " gameplay but they clearly haven't nailed that yet.

[craggy gyro]

bro i just logged off game just feels like dog to play.

why are maps so big for no reason and i have no mobilty to zoom

just feels like ass

[final python]

oooh nice

[trim turret]

Yes, those are common concerns. Hopefully they improve.

[final python]

so it's worth it

[dusky burrow]

yeah it's very good

[upper gale]

Count Geonor's abilities have had their cooldowns slightly increased (This should result in him using attacks that are parryable more often). this means he attacks faster? it seems like his skills have no cooldown

[novel spear]

buenas necesito ayuda soy nuevo quiero jugar y me salta un error

[dusky burrow]

usually, the big skills have cooldowns, the weak default attacks fill in the gaps.

so when the cd is increased on the big attacks (that you cant parry), those happen less, and the small, parryable weak attacks happen more, letting you parry more.

[novel spear]

Alguien en español?

[wide walrus]

Are players still able to help players out with obtaining ascendancy?

[novel spear]

alguien habla spanish

[hoary pier]

anyone wanna join me at Mawdun mine?

[dusky burrow]

this an english server, we apologize for the inconvenience.

[sinful helm]

is there filter following in poe2 like there is in poe1?

[dusky burrow]

yeah

[sinful helm]

do you know what the website is?

[dusky burrow]

https://www.pathofexile.com/item-filter/ladder/follower/type/PoE2

[sinful helm]

tysm, semistr is recomended for acts?

[dusky burrow]

yeah prob

filterblade filters will change by area level anyway

[wide walrus]

Are players still able to help players out with obtaining ascendancy?

[timid lodge]

is there a reward for doing freythorn on cruel?

the king of the mist thing

[hollow mortar]

where do i use the green and red mushrooms?

[worthy drum]

and blue, put them in the cauldron of the friendly fat crone trader somewhere north-east corner

[glossy cape]

So just finished Normal on Merc but not really enjoying the methodical, plodding, tedious grenade rotation. Are there any other viable more direct damage builds for Merc? Or another ranged character that's a bit faster?

[mental needle]

Nothing significant

[high jasper]

i got this from the trial of chaos. Is this good to use now at lv 50 on a random item or trade it for orbs?

[mental needle]

Unless you plan to keep that level 50 item for a very long time just hold onto it or trade it off.

[versed nexus]

can you unsocket runes yet?

[quartz crow]

you can overwrite them

[versed nexus]

ah but theres no recovering them

[quartz crow]

yea

[versed nexus]

gotcha

[dusky burrow]

it's 1% higher res than a greater desert/etc.

so just sell it

[manic marten]

question: does this node effectively allow a projectile to do 'forking' by itself? or do you still need a skill that already does 'forking' ?

[pine finch]

the latter

[gloomy tulip]

Does anyone have a good build to follow for Vaal Guard spectres levelling?

[zealous osprey]

ED + Contagion before minion swap

[gloomy tulip]

Build guide I mean (I'd like to swap to minions now that I'm in Act 3 normal)

[manic marten]

thanks

[zealous osprey]

Can check Ghazzy's build

[thorn tusk]

Can someone help me kill geonor

[sinful helm]

what is this lich node good for? didn't they make chaos damage not bypass es in poe2?

[zealous osprey]

You use another lich ascendancy node with uniques like Atziri's to make damage bypass ES, effectively mitigating it

The node was 10-15% bypass
Atziri's is 20% bypass
Some other uniques also bypass, so effectively you have 30-40% damage mitigation which you don't ever take

[sinful helm]

so basically, it's useless unless you are using a specific unique?

i don't see a lich node that has anything to do with damage bypassing es

[weary osprey]

the node before it?

[sinful helm]

oh i'm dumb

[zealous osprey]

Check the one right before/after this node in the same path

[sinful helm]

okay

so, CaptainLance says to take this as my firs ascendency node for ed/c. If mana regen isn't an issue, this is just bad right?

until I have the next one?

[tribal dust]

can anyone giv me patch notes link for the upcoming patch

[humble umbra]

GGG moving full speed to fix this patch

[high jasper]

do you get spirit reward for killing king in the mists second time in cruel act 1?

[humble umbra]

No, I'm pretty sure

[past kiln]

how much spirit are you supposed to have at the end?

im pretty sure its 100 which i have but for some reason azak bog is shown on my map as not cleared

[mental needle]

yep 100

[high jasper]

im looking at an endgame frost sorc build and it says to get snakepit ring. Im lv 52 but i just got a divine orb, is it worth using trade tab to get this for 1 divine orb?

[dusky burrow]

doubt it

dont know the build, but the ring is probably for qol + clear

get stuff like big weapon, big es gear etc.

plus the ring will almost surely depreciate as the league progresses

[high jasper]

im on standard league

[vivid valley]

yay decreased area of act3 just before I do it cruel

[dusky burrow]

rest of what i said stands

[quartz crow]

I'm happy to see if the azak bog isn't poopoo anymore

[high jasper]

is it more worth if i use 50 exalted orbs for ring?

[mental needle]

They've done really good work on a lot of endgame map layouts, They may just apply that to Azak.

[past kiln]

happy that theyre fixing everything

sad i just cleared them today

[fair bridge]

why did they make campaign bosses harder

[torpid topaz]

so, what is the spears main dps skill?
lightning spear OR rake + stomping ground both seem fine for clear, but how do i get good single target?

[fair bridge]

im stuck at viper boss and cant beat her even with the group

[past kiln]

DO NOT

try it with a group

i dont know what they did but hp inflates from coughing baby to nuke

[quartz crow]

rake stomping ground brutality does ton of dmg act1 but idk if brutality helps with later spear stuff

[fair bridge]

at the last arena falling meteorites arent visible, i just cant survive

[quartz crow]

and rake gets super outscaled act 2

[dusky tinsel]

where can i announce boss kill service?

[novel pier]

how long will patching take?

[past kiln]

what boss

depends

[dusky tinsel]

acts 1 to 4

[vivid valley]

They didn't, they made us weaker

[past kiln]

general chat (IN GAME)

there is no where else where people havent cleared that

[dusky tinsel]

ty

[fair bridge]

no i clearly see that bosses have more moves and use them more often

[vivid valley]

interesting

[past kiln]

we deal less dmg

boss gets to do more ig

[mental needle]

No, I'm almost certain some bosses had their AI changed

[vivid valley]

jon said that he wanted the boss battles to be engaging not just blasted through, so IG that's why?

[mental needle]

Ignaduk spends her entire boss fight on her broom

[past kiln]

dunno that was my experience as well in 0.1

[quartz crow]

https://tenor.com/view/tole-tole-cat-mei-mei-cat-tole-mei-cat-gif-2369248034924999904

you WILL enjoy witch experience

[past kiln]

granted i was on nerfed ice mage so i was just doing 0 dmg

[mental needle]

Nah I played warrior last league too so I know the pain of that boss

but it is FAR worse this patch

[sleek fjord]

why is my network ms spiking to 400 every second is it my wifi or the servers

[worthy drum]

someone watching p with your wifi, turn it off and use cable (or hide the wifi AP broadcast)

[autumn sphinx]

hello. any tips for jamanra?

he has the two bombs that cover the arena

i get instakilled

[dim wasp]

quick question, in trials of sekimas, if my teammates dont go in the boss room and waits in the room b4 it, will the boss still have more health than usual cuz of multiplayer buff?

[copper dragon]

figure out how to get as close to 75 lightning res as uc an

getting up to atleast 60 makes most of his big attacks not even do half ur hp

[rigid wagon]

as soon as the two spikes move from him, start running behid him

[north sage]

yo u still helping with bosses

[worldly kraken]

if i die in hardcore do i just move to the normal leauge?

or is it a seperate league for people who have died in hardcore

[north sage]

u move to softcore now i think

[worldly kraken]

which is the league that everyone that trades plays right

[north sage]

N thats standard if im correct

you used to drop to standard but they changed it so you go to softcore i believe

[zinc parrot]

Anyone have some spare lvl 50 or lower ultimatum? Trying to farm a specific beast buddy. Not sure their value buy can pay something

[rotund trench]

I think I encountered a bug where I cannot re-enter The Trial Of chaos for my 2nd ascendency after failing to finish it

it says "operation could not be competed"

anyone know how to fix this?

[hard slate]

stuck in zuggrat encampent when I go through gateway it brings me to river bank but I just need a waypoint

[stable swallow]

bye bye act help chat... Nice patch... Took Lich Minion almost 2 days to enter the maps was fun >.<

[tall abyss]

How do I get out of a high ping server without losing my location?

[signal orchid]

is smith of kitava still good?

[vivid valley]

wtf is it with lv13 skill gems? Every previous level was hard to find but I've found 30 of them in act5

[faint umbra]

no way to increase number of companions right

[mental needle]

there's a unique chest and a keystone on the passive tree

[narrow violet]

how do you increase the quality of skills derived from ascendency?

[mental needle]

You don't, at least not with GCPs

its only there because you can get bonuses from items/ascendancies/whatver

it's not an item technically so you can't qual it

[vivid valley]

Hrm I found this, and it's a good one, I believe this will work well with lightning spear, it gives me combat frenzy early and the ignore resistances is OP when crit chance is as high as it is.

[vague hollow]

is there a command to check which of the permanent buff quests you've done?

[meager galleon]

should be /passives

but it might work only once you are done with acts

[vague hollow]

done with the acts but doesn't work

[vague hollow]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Choir_of_the_Storm
you can probably directly upgrade from that to choir later

[meager galleon]

hmmmm, strange

[hybrid star]

not in poe 2

[mental needle]

I don't think it's in poe2

[meager galleon]

i'm pretty sure i used it on my first char when ea started

[vivid valley]

Great thanks. I'm wondering if I should drop my elemental penetration nodes on the passive tree with this?

[vague hollow]

so you gotta check manually which you've done?

[vague hollow]

yeah if you have enough crit

once you get it

[meager galleon]

well i guess it isnt in the game, maybe i remember wrong

[vague hollow]

keep in mind if you're amazon

the tooltip crit is completely wrong

so don't get fooled into thinking you're capped crit

[vivid valley]

I know, I'm using pob

[vague hollow]

ah ok perfect

[vivid valley]

my crit is about 1/3 chance

[vague hollow]

i keep seeing ppl thinking they have capped crit when they have like 30%

i hope theyf ix the tooltip soon

[mental needle]

What is the amazon tooltip actually calculating?

[vague hollow]

the node gives 25% of your extra chance to hit as base crit

but the tooltip displays it giving 100%

so it shows 4x the amount of extra crit you're supposed to have

[mental needle]

Ah

easy to math at least

[vague hollow]

yeah

[mental needle]

but sucks for anyone who doesn't know lol

[vague hollow]

yep

i see a lot of amazons thinking the class is op and they're capping crit with like 2 accuracy wheels

😬

[vivid valley]

miles out

[vague hollow]

yea, the 50-74 is 12.5-18.5 in reality

so 24.5%-30.5% actual total critrate in this case

[vivid valley]

My accuracy is 3908

[mental needle]

I mean even calced correctly it's an assload of crit

[vague hollow]

yeah it is

it's still a great offensive ascendancy

[vivid valley]

the rest are meh lol

[strong pike]

I think it's only way to make really good crit build

[vivid valley]

I guess the infusion one's okay

[mental needle]

What? The flat damage one right after it is crazy too

[vague hollow]

in league start sorta

[mental needle]

esp on a 1 hander

[vague hollow]

later with better gear you def don't need amazon to get decent crit

but atm with crap gearing yea it's one of the only ways to get rly nice critrate

[vague hollow]

it's not

it's pretty niche / starter-focused

cus the flat phys it gives is global, not local to the weapon

it's like having flat phys on a ring rather than flat phys on weapon modified by %phys on the wep

so it's quite good early when you have bad rare weapon options

it's also really good if you're using a low dps unique weapon

like in theory pillar, or that poison spear

but in general it's not worth it to take by the time you have access to a high pdps rare weapon

[vivid valley]

Hrm I'm wondering if combat frenzy is really doing anything, I only electrocute with storm lance on rares

[strong pike]

Anyway 100 flat phys is pretty huge bonus, even global

[vague hollow]

it is, but it's taking up a prefix on your weapon

[vivid valley]

I can't keep my eye on the buff icons

[vague hollow]

cus the big flat acc roll is a prefix not suffix

[strong pike]

Yh

[vague hollow]

so if you compare it to having local flat phys or phys% it loses out later once you can afford more expensive rares

[strong pike]

Fair enough

[vague hollow]

great league-start option tho

[lime yoke]

anyone know how to get back to ogham village?? It got blocked when i want to go from manor also i try to go from hunting ground also blocked

[mental needle]

Idk maybe I'm too SSF pilled

I still think that node is real nice

[vague hollow]

oh no you're right

if you're ssf that thing is juicy as fuck

trade league not as much

[mental needle]

Yeah I can see it

That's why when I saw Smith reveal I was like "this is the best class ever made"

[vague hollow]

smith do be pretty insane

[vivid valley]

holy crap I just priced this and ones with 15 to spirit go for 5d

[mental needle]

Absolutely nutty league starter for sure

[gentle hare]

Do Vendor inventories refresh periodically?

[vivid valley]

dreadnought time, I wonder how many goes it'll take me to kill him this time

[vague hollow]

every time you level up

[vivid valley]

last time I ended up respeccing to a different build to do it lol

[vague hollow]

get some lightning res and ur chillin

[vivid valley]

oh yeah lightning, will swap charms

[vague hollow]

feel like the dreadnought fight is easier than the previous jamanra fight

[vivid valley]

my lightning res is 48%, this is cruel act5

[vague hollow]

o that’s not bad

[vivid valley]

yeah I've been relatively vigilant

[vague hollow]

it’s kinda nice if you have life flask that gets charges over time if your dps is low

[vivid valley]

I have a secret weapon for damage

I mean life loss

lemme show you what I found

Thunderous leap with unyielding

because of its huge attack time, you can't get attacked in the air, and you recover much more than you take

[vague hollow]

o that is pretty interesting

[mental needle]

I ran that on my leap slam for the same reason

Great for making campaign speedrunning safer

[vivid valley]

ok off to dreadnought, wish me luck

actually one question - can you electrocute uniques? I didn't seem to on the last battle

[mental needle]

yes

[dire glade]

is it possible to share waypoints like how can you sometimes in poe 1? mainly in act 3 etc?

[vivid valley]

man, taking sniper's mark off LMB was the best thing I did, it was behaving so weirdly

clicking on chests was casting it without casting it and adding cooldown

[gloomy tulip]

Can't decide what to do. Refactor my ED/C Lich into a Vaal Guard Spectres build... or re-roll lightning staff amazon

[vivid valley]

yes, I beat him first try, but took ages

got veeeery close to dying so many times lol

[modest locust]

hello, how do i start getting shapeshifting skill gems?

[vivid valley]

and I can confirm you can electrocute uniques

wait where do i get my +10 elec resistance?

from act2 cruel?

[mental needle]

spires of deshar

same as normal

[vivid valley]

hrm did I not claim them...?

no wait i did

I'm 10% more than pob says so all good, I just forgot I guess

[dull copper]

is there any acknowledgement of the disconnecting issue as yet? Its reset my progress often enough so far that I've stopped playing for now.. lol

[wind finch]

What's a good way to farm gold in the campaign? I am trying to respsec my char at 40 but only have 2k gold

[vivid valley]

pick up rare items and sell them

but identify them first

I had to do that with my major respec but wasn't lv40

[mental needle]

Yeah there's not really a trick. If you're into act 1 cruel you can try to get to Draven's Praetorium, it has a gold room in it, can keep refreshing the zone, farm the mobs on your way there for stuff to sell too.

Gonna be faster than normal farming

[wind finch]

Thanks, I'll just full clear an area a couple times then

[vivid valley]

exactly what I did, I kept running the dreadnought

[wind finch]

Ah good shout I was just gonna run jungle or something

[vivid valley]

well the highest you can run will have the most rare items, and the dreadnought has more than most maps

[violet belfry]

thx ggg for buffing the everloving shit out of putrid wolf and making him overly difficult for no reason

[vivid valley]

hrm it's about time I upgraded more gear now I'm in a new act

[violet belfry]

i love fighting a boss that spams the same abilities all the time

[torpid topaz]

do most physical attack characters bother getting 50+ intellgience for vulnerability or is it generally not worth that much invest

[glad grove]

Please keep in mind that this channel is for gameplay related questions.
For ranting or general discussion please move to #2┃general

[mental needle]

Bluntly, vuln is pretty ass, even on phys builds.

[mossy cedar]

Guys this might be a dumb question..Poe 2 does it have ship???

[mental needle]

With how the armor calc works taking their armor into the negatives doesn't do much, and for getting it to 0 you can get armor break in so many other ways.

[mental needle]

Like the naval vessel?

[mossy cedar]

Correct

[mental needle]

No, no boat league yet

[mossy cedar]

The boat that goes to other towns and gets you loot

[glad grove]

That is poe1's current challenge league.

[mossy cedar]

Hmmmmm cute doge is trolling me then. Ty

It's says he's streaming Poe 2 and he said he's streaming Poe 2 and then he's running an insanely fast build and getting big drops.. yup getting trolled xD

[hybrid star]

look at the UI it's poe 3

[mental needle]

Cute Dog? Troll? I've never heard of such a thing

[cerulean mirage]

is rake warrior leveling best right now ? or is it still painful ?

[mental needle]

Warrior has one of the best times levelling, if not the best

Rake or not

[torpid topaz]

how was i supposed to know it does this

[cerulean mirage]

are you being serious ?

[mental needle]

Yes

[cerulean mirage]

and why ? because you just run around without killing ?

[mental needle]

Because you can stack strength for life, do good boss damage, clear packs well without falling over dead

[woven pelican]

for lightning spear how did u guys level up
or what skills did u use around act 2 and 3

[cerulean mirage]

is there a build guide you would recommend me to follow for leveling ?

i enjoy following guides

[torpid topaz]

you can use lightning spear right from the point u get it, its great

[mental needle]

None that I know off the top of my head.

I'm sure there are tons of boneshatter levelling guides though

[woven pelican]

i have lightning spear and storm lance
but to proc storm lance i have to use exploding spear which is basically my best dmg dealer rn
how do i inc my lightning spear dmg?

[torpid topaz]

i think lightning spear is intended to be a 1 button clear skill, while u use combos and stuff for rares
if its not doing enough dmg u need better weapon

[cerulean mirage]

having to cancel animation to then hit with boneshatter is not enjoyable for me

[tulip dagger]

I'm kinda late to the "league" start, if i wanted a smooth start - what builds are meta?

[torpid topaz]

essence drain contageon
lightning spear just got buffed, minions (was bad) but just got mega buffed
rake bleed spears is also looking good thats what im doing rn

[mental needle]

Well that's the easiest and most reliable levelling for mace by far. Build diversity is pretty low rn so if you wanted to make something else work it might be tough.

rake stomping ground works but only through like mid act 2

[woven pelican]

i am around level 17-18 right now
my spear is basicaly 58% inc phy dmg
and # to # phy dmg
attak speed

[mental needle]

Minions are still bad from what I understand.

[torpid topaz]

look at base dmg not just at spear mods
if those mods are on a level 3 spear it doesnt matter

is titans "all hits are crushing blows" a thing people actually take
or is it just to get the thing behind it

[woven pelican]

got it thankuu

[mental needle]

Some builds do, just not very popular right now with boneshatter meta

[torpid topaz]

is blood hunt supposed to be a good skill btw
its doing significantly less damage than just auto attacking vs a bleeding target (ik it removes the bleed)

[mental needle]

Idk if it's good, but it's for aoe

[slate dagger]

valley of titan bugged. can't put in the relics. how do i fix this?

[dusty jay]

i only use it for aoe dmg for clearing on campaign, or as gap closer while fighting act bosses

[fresh ivy]

i never used blood hunt.... it's for proccing bleeds so you need a particulaer type of build to use it

i used herald of blood, bleed twisters, and rakestomp

with a good build, you dont really have time for parry or blood hunt on trash mobs

[torpid topaz]

i cant tell how much gain 1 rage on melee hit is doing

[pallid horizon]

what does this effect mean?

[oak terrace]

anyone have a no-minion witch build I can look at? dont know where to start

[solemn python]

ED contagion Lich maybe

[autumn sphinx]

hello can someone help me tame a beast

im using the skill on the rare but i cant capture

[undone obsidian]

Great i just clicked on enter to act 3 city. Guess what. My game crashes everytime i try to log in to that character to city. i cant play anymore i am stack in loading screan

[queen jungle]

Wait 15 minutes for the instance to expire and try again

[fathom harness]

You need to kill it before the effect of the skill runs out.
Think of it as a pokemon, put its health low, use the skill then kill it.

[cursive dust]

is anyone able to help me beat doryani on cruel? ive been trying for ages. I just want to unlock a hideout on my acc :c

[undone obsidian]

1 hr of trying ... instance is colapsed for sure

[fresh ivy]

is this like you just want someone to kill doryani for you?

what problem are you having?

[queen jungle]

Have you waited more than 15 minutes between attempts

or is it 2 minutes, try, 1 minute, try, etc

[cursive dust]

Yeah kinda, i keep getting oneshot by his laser move in 2nd phase

[undone obsidian]

30min i was making food

[queen jungle]

Then you probably need to get in touch with support

[fresh ivy]

you have to keep moving, the laser keeps coming down.. but if you just are getting frustrated i can kill him for you... i need to restart my client anyway

wait, are you in standard league?

[cursive dust]

this is my first char so the one before hunt league

[fresh ivy]

invite Kuro_MT

[queen jungle]

Lockdown Support reads:

Skills have 120% more Pin Buildup against enemies within 2m of you, scaling to no change at 12m
When I socket this in a totem gem, does it scale based on the enemy's distance to the totem, or to me?

[fresh ivy]

probably to you

[still karma]

Anyone free to help mee kill laclan on cruel?

[queen jungle]

should be a small difference anyway. ty

[autumn sphinx]

im spamming the tame skill as the rare monster dies

it doesnt get captured

[mental needle]

Is it a beast?

[autumn sphinx]

i dont remember

its dead now

ill try again on another beast

[fresh ivy]

there you go 🙂

[cursive dust]

Thanks a bunch 🙂

[fathom harness]

do you get the blue effect on the mob ? like covered in blue wisp type of effect ? and yes, you need to check its type.

[nimble gull]

is a storm rune rare? i only have lesser ones, anybody have a spare?

[fathom harness]

best way to get beasts are act 3 in the infested barrens.

[fresh ivy]

@autumn sphinx you dont do that... you just cast the skill on the monster right away.. then it gets a visual effect, then you kill it

[mental needle]

Not rare

You can also upgrade 3 lessers to a normal one using the reforge bench

[zealous osprey]

Bruh, now this... This is USEFUL INFO!!!

Thanks

[nimble gull]

I see, is that on later acts? im only in act 2 just got my ascendancy

[mental needle]

You get it from a quest in act 3 yeah

[autumn sphinx]

but my damage is so piss poor. i cant kill it within the duration indicated

[mental needle]

I'd say for now just use the lesser ones

[zealous osprey]

Act 3 -> Molten Vault boss

[mental needle]

it's only 2% less and you won't keep your gear all that long

[nimble gull]

alright, thanks a lot guys

[candid raft]

hello guys, are there some juicy leveling uniques for warrior to make it smoother to restart?

[fresh ivy]

use a spear

rakestomp with strength stacking

but you dont have to restart

[candid raft]

restart for swapping class:D

[vivid valley]

Hmm act3 c looks quite different already, nice

[mental needle]

I'm almost certain thsoe changes are not shipped

[vivid valley]

yes they are

that's 0.20d

there was a server restart a few hours ago

[mental needle]

No, those were different notes, the zone change thing was just a writeup to let people know its happening. "These changes should be deployed within the next few days."

[vivid valley]

oh?

rereads

doh, it says will be made

too late for me, thanks

[mental needle]

Maybe I shouldn't have told u

so you could placebo your way through act 3

like "damn this is great"

[vivid valley]

wah

these monsters still come too fast if they want everyone to be doing combos

I miss one button fights

[fresh ivy]

i doubt their goal is slow combos.. i think they just are trying to make it so you have to have more than one button and react to something.... though i think they're failing

or maybe they are intentionally telling people they are deliovering engaging combat, while allowing/forcing everyone to build out of it... "hey it's there if you want it"

[ruby kite]

Can someone help me with knowing my effective crit chance using Critical Strike ascendancy node. My spear is giving me 5.0% base, so would it be (5 + 5 * 0.14) to (5 + 5*0.3) crit chance based on distance, or would it be just 14 to 30 % crit chance ?

[torpid topaz]

where am i supposed to go i went around all edges

[fresh ivy]

@ruby kite the first thing to know is taht you can look at the per-skill detail panel and it should show you

ohh. they totally changed this

[lament stone]

i dont think the ascendancy crit node is working tbh

[fresh ivy]

where are you getting 5+5

[ruby kite]

I was kind of thinking the same because it says its flat applying the extra hit chance as crit instead of 25% of the excess hit chance

[fresh ivy]

i think it should be 5% + (30% excess hit * 30% = 9%) => 14% * increased crit chance from passives

[mental needle]

It gives you base crit. I was told earlier that tooltip is 4x higher than it should be. So right now if we take the average at 22 then divide by 4 it's giving 5.5% + 5% = 10.5%

[fresh ivy]

it looks like the estimated main hand stuff is bugged, beucase that's just showing the excess hit, not 30% of excess hit

[ruby kite]

Ok thanks everyone ❤️

[trail radish]

guys, i accidentaly created SSF character, is it possible to transfer tomom ssf server? thanks

[lusty patio]

Lets say I could kill any boss from Act 1 and Act 2 (normal difficulty). Which one should I farm for currency in order to buy some gear?

[lament stone]

yes, theres a button so you can migrate all from ssf league to trade league

[fresh ivy]

why do you need to buy gear? what class?build are you playing?

you should not need to buy gear to move on to act 3

[mental needle]

Spamming bosses isn't ideal anyways, they nerfed that, you'd be better off farming dreadnought and gambling

[lusty patio]

that aside,any good choices on the bosses? I was thinking the Executioner is decently accesible in order to reset

[lusty patio]

I see,that's at least some advice. Thanks

[tawdry ridge]

are guilds also shared between poe 1 and poe 2

[lament stone]

no

[fresh ivy]

you should not kill any boss more than once, you should progress so you can get into maps where currency drops

[lusty patio]

the thing is,I'm not getting any consistent currency or good rares and I remember I had to kill Executioner a few times in order to get some exalts in 0.1 when it launched

[fresh ivy]

you can finish everything to end of act 4 in all blues

if you have a decent build

ive done it multiple times before just to test

[lament stone]

bosses arent going to be your best source of drops

[fresh ivy]

if yer not so good at the game.... the only hard bosses are act 2 jamara and act 3 viper

what class/build/weapon are you playing?

[lament stone]

its better to kill more enemies with some rarity than to focus on fighting single enemies

[faint umbra]

how much is 2m in poe2 ?

[grave tusk]

why arent any of my filters working?! downloaded or sync?

this is beyond frustrating

[lament stone]

are you still on the main menu or have you logged in?

[grave tusk]

logged in

[rose lichen]

How much would ascension 3 cost, my build is utterly useless without it

[lament stone]

if youve followed any filters on the website did you follow them from the poe1 or poe2 section?

[grave tusk]

poe2

[lament stone]

and youre logged into the game, on your character and you cant see them?

[grave tusk]

so the filter is loaded but then when i drop items they arent changed

and everything is the same color etc

[lament stone]

what filter is it?

[grave tusk]

exalted orb and augment for example

the online filterblade

[lament stone]

did you change any settings at all?

[grave tusk]

i selected strict, zen style and a sound pack

no other chnaged

also doesnt work with no changes at all

all items are showm at all times

[lament stone]

if youre in act 1 any filter will do that

[grave tusk]

but nothinjg looks liek this

its just base game, but yes, im in act2

[edgy lagoon]

can someone explain what the 2nd stat means?

[lament stone]

chaos and exalts dont look like that?

yoou wont see the circles when youre looking at items on the ground, those are just map icons

[stiff nebula]

Hello can somebody help me where to go? It says go to agurat but i have explored the whole zone i cant find where to go.
Screenshots of the map:
https://imgur.com/P2ovQgo
https://imgur.com/zJ9YzlH

[edgy lagoon]

im exactly here and wondering the same

[lament stone]

if youve killed the boss to get the key you can leave that zone

[stiff nebula]

hmm i did open the portal maybe it means in the alternative time zone

[lament stone]

you need to use the key at the bottom of the camp area in town to go to the past

[stiff nebula]

think im tired i did not go into the past LMAO

[final geyser]

That zone is called Apex of Filth, so if it wants you to go to Aggorat, then that's in the past.

[stiff nebula]

yes i see that hahah

dont game before breakfast kids

apex of filth had quest marker so i was just wandering around

but it was in the other time lmao

[fresh ivy]

@lusty patio do you pickup and disenchant items? thats where i get most of my currency in the campaign

[lusty patio]

I do,but guess after they changed how bosses drop loot (1st time decent drops and after that mostly crap,taking in consideration the time spent to reset and kill the boss) it's not worth the time.

[grave tusk]

@lament stone i got the filter working but im trying to add voice pack now. it keeps giving this error. and it results in no filter working at all and no voice effects

i got same exact filter with no added voice pack and it works like it should

i used sync version for both btw

[modest thicket]

Did this new update add anything crazy?

[azure lava]

Depends on what you mean by crazy. They added a new spear skill gem called cull the weak which culls an enemy and grants a frenzy charge

[modest thicket]

Like acts and stuff

That is cool tho

[azure lava]

Changes to the zones aren't happening for a few days

[modest thicket]

Ah gotcha

[azure lava]

But they outlined the changes in a post you can find in #poe2-news

[modest thicket]

Ty

[azure lava]

Biggest thing, imo, is that they're removing massive dead ends in the drowned city and utzaal

And they're adding an extra soul core to the Jaquani zones to reduce the exploration time needed

[modest thicket]

Ooo

That is nice ngl

[grave tusk]

someone know whats wrong?

[static loom]

should I just speedrun the campaign or do side quests as well?

[mental needle]

Are you talking about .2 as a whole?

[modest thicket]

Dawn of hunt in general

I took a break b4 it dropped

[mental needle]

New class, new weapon, bunch of skills, bunch of supports, a lot of updates to the endgame, lotta nerfs.

[modest thicket]

Ah nice

[tender quartz]

quick sanity check:
if your only non-spectre minion is a storm mage
you cant use its active skill, right?

since it needs other dead skeletons?

[topaz junco]

Correct

[scenic flare]

guys why does it say im unable to log in

i just bought the game

nvm

i had to select the server

[mystic bobcat]

is there a trick to drop the sacrificial heart in act 3? i cant drop it for some reasons

[quasi moat]

is there a way to unstuck my character? I tried to teleport to somebody who couldn't clear a boss to help him out and now I'm stuck in the loading screen with the cogs spinning for eternity

[rose fossil]

can you sacrifice life while having eternal life (lich ascendancy)

[topaz junco]

It’s part of a side quest. Do the quest for 2 passive points

[mystic bobcat]

i know you get the 2 points from it, but no mobs drops uit, i have cleared the map 10 times now

[azure lava]

I'm not certain but I'm assuming the answer is no, since that would involve changing your life. But idk if that means you count as having sacrificed it or not

[azure lava]

Enemies in utzaal and the agorrat can drop it

I wanna say the big brute enemies, but not 100% sure

[topaz junco]

It’s random, people theorize the larger golem enemies have a slightly higher chance to drop it

[mystic bobcat]

yes thats what i have been doing, this is so stupid to leave such an important item to rng

[azure lava]

Yeah, edge cases do be like that. I've always had it drop before I got to the altar. I didn't actually know it was possible not to as long as you killed enough stuff

I guess I assumed it had bad luck protection or something

[zealous vessel]

Should meat shield be used on the skeletal warriors, or on pain offering?

Pain offering says the bone spike is a minion.

[runic jewel]

Where do I find "The Shrine of Bones" in Act II? It's still on my map, but I've literally cleared the whole area.

[misty basin]

for the bind spectre gem, am i supposed to go raise my spectre again if I have a higher level gem, or is there an easier way?

[simple musk]

Sun relic im act2 is not dropping, someone knows how to fix this? Yes i farmed bone pits for half an hour and yes i killed the boss

[topaz junco]

Try both I personally like it on warriors more

[topaz junco]

Does it not carry over?

[zealous vessel]

only got 2 warriors, but for now i put a font of blood on my totem for minion healing, untill i can get a cleric
2% out of 2400hp at act 3 shoud hopefully keep em alive a little bit longer on bosses 👀

[heady prairie]

is there not a rune to add stats? like strength?

[supple coral]

Can someone help me kill Rudja in act 2 normal? IGN: Supergrilll

[topaz junco]

#2┃looking-for-group

[marble imp]

Where should I look for a leveling build?

[heady prairie]

does this work if my mana is non existent? or does the 15% not get applied

[viscid cedar]

don't know if this is the right channel but can someone explain corpsewade to me? I'm using them right now but the skill only sporadically activates, sometimes it triggers multiple times in a row and sometimes I can walk past entire hordes of corpses and nothing happens. I can not for the life of me figure out what activates decompose.

[ashen bane]

works

[vivid valley]

took me ages to figure out that alch is the real trade currency and not exs yet

is this normal at league start? I've previously been a mid league or standard player

[heady prairie]

if i corrupt something, a unique, is there a chance 0% of anything changes?

[acoustic crag]

How can i get frenzy charges lighting arrow dead eye?

[plucky quartz]

companions count as allies ya?

this works with companions?

[floral meteor]

can someone help with act 2 boss?

[vivid valley]

people want to trade with me but when I click portal I go to town and they end up in my hideout

how do I fix that?

[atomic coral]

does anybody know when sword/axe will be released?

[hollow jungle]

Should I be using gemcutter prisms on my skill gems which I will use for my final build?

[jaunty pebble]

is npc count as monster I cleared all but stuck 💀

[scenic flare]

guys , whatr attribute should i level up as mercenary?

i have a lightning support gem on my main attack

and i think thats what im going for

does lightnight scale off intelligence?

[hollow jungle]

int just gives more mana

I'm playing gas grenade merc and my attributes are mainly str, taking dex just when I need it for equipment or skills

[grave tusk]

i have a ton of mana issues, how do i increase the mana pool size?

huntress

[scenic flare]

so if i want to go for a lightning build, should i level up int?

[hollow jungle]

Are you following a build or making your own?

[scenic flare]

im not following any rn , my first time playin

[hollow jungle]

I dont think the lightning itself makes the build require int

That just depends on if you want to go energy shield instead of evasion, and if you want a ton of mana

[hollow jungle]

Highly recommend following a build then

It will make the already hard campaign a lot more manageable

[pine oar]

Recommeneded ascendancy for huntress pls

[small birch]

guys, i'm playing sekhemas with a friend of mine.. why is it that he has like 6k honor while i only have 2.2k?

[narrow violet]

how is quality on skills derived from ascendency?

[trim turret]

No. Attributes don't give damage unless you're using specific items/gems.

You just want whatever attributes you need to equip things.

[trim turret]

Items that give quality to skills.

[grave tusk]

i have a ton of mana issues, how do i increase the mana pool size?
huntress

[trim turret]

Whenever the associated classes release.

[trim turret]

Mana on gear, regen, leech, mana on kill, reduced cost, clarity support gem.

[grave tusk]

the mana pool is only 150, which isnt enough

regen, leech, mana on kill, clarity arent gonna help

just my mark costs 50 to cast

[trim turret]

Take int for some of your attribute nodes, and like I also said, mana on gear.

[grave tusk]

2 nodes would equal just 5 more mana pool

yeah mana on gear is only option but there is no gear with enough mana at lvl 20

[runic jewel]

Do you guys have the hunt dude show up when there is no wisp?

[trim turret]

Then you want to also combine it with sustain.

[worthy drum]

sometime

[trim turret]

Yeah it has some jank.

[trim turret]

Reduce the cost of something with inspiration support.

[royal kindle]

Need help with act 1 one boss :)

[marsh sigil]

ign?

[royal kindle]

Izabellea

[marsh sigil]

i pinged you

[royal kindle]

Invited :)

Thank you !

[marsh sigil]

ofc

[trim turret]

Make sure you work on getting resists and max life on your gear. Otherwise you'll keep having trouble.

[tranquil stone]

can anyone recommend a good league starter for this league? preferabbly with a decent guide

[forest gazelle]

Dose ggg play the game??

[runic jewel]

I lowkey love Explosive Shot. I feel like I'm playing Quake

[trim turret]

Look on maxroll I'd say. League starters.

[trim turret]

I'm quite sure they do.

[tranquil stone]

thats what i usually do but they say that they arent updated yet

[dreamy karma]

Rake + Stomping Ground + taking all the strength you can get is some ridiculous easy mode for the first 3 acts, and can be done on every class.

[trim turret]

I think ziggyd has a bleed huntress build if that interests you.

[viscid drift]

Anyone know the Support gem they added is Called something to do with Frenzy charges ?🤨

[wicked gulch]

What exactly does the spirit mechanic do? Does it just add a modifier (and thus change the loot table?) or are we really working towards something. I recall the NPC saying something about hunting enough spirits to go after something else.

[forest gazelle]

I buy 100$ pack in day one for support ggg 2day before update 2.0 I upgraded to 150$ because I was sure they know make the game fun but I wasn't im disappointed so mach

Game so boring

No more minions game play they kill minions build

[viscid drift]

Game is Boring , How so whats your Build ?

[vivid valley]

retort?

[viscid drift]

Maybe Idk the name🤪

[forest gazelle]

minions

[viscid drift]

Tried Reaver’s 😃

[forest gazelle]

Still sucks

[viscid drift]

Did they Nerf them i enjoyed them Last season ?🤨

[forest gazelle]

I did 120k damage now I do 2k

99.7% nerf

[viscid drift]

I Guess Minion builds are now Dead then😰

[trim turret]

It's not 2.0, it's 0.2. Game has a long way to go before it's finished. 0.2 has been out for less than a week.

[hollow jungle]

I'm playing this, it has a link to a levelling guide that transitions into the final build. Act 1 Cruel so far and haven't had any issues at all with damage, melting bosses and running through maps. It does work better with 1 unique but can be played without
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/frostferno-witch-hunter-fearless-dumbo

[viscid drift]

Have you seen the Artillery Balista build Zizaran was doing ?😮

[grave tusk]

anyone got good levelling build for amazon? im using lazyexile one but its doing basically no dmg to bosses anymore. and i got pretty good stuff and spend some ex.

[hollow jungle]

Nope, but that does sound interesting 👀

Merc seems to be in a pretty good spot rn, heard of multiple good merc builds

[chilly geyser]

is there anyone at Ziggurat Encampment i can group with and warp to so I don't have to travel the marsh? IGN DcDad

[torpid topaz]

when do i get my first 4 link its crazy this game doesnt give you one for so lonmg

[formal shoal]

vaal a 3link

[meager galleon]

downside to that is that you cant get more links once you vaal it

and it can hit -1

[slate dagger]

anyone knows how to fix the medallion/relic bug in titan valley? the symbol is not showing

[formal shoal]

it's not like you won't get a new skill gem at some point

and once you get a 6 link upgrade you just slam a 2 link

since they made it so you can just not do the upgrades inbetween

[meager galleon]

thats true, but you are giving advice to new players in here with already fairly limited resources, so its good to state the downsides

so they wont end up in a shitty situation without being aware it can happen

[craggy gyro]

Standing on orb of lightning and firing sparks increases the damage of the sparks right?

[meager galleon]

no

[craggy gyro]

oh bro

i've been using orb of lightning for no purpose then

[meager galleon]

using lightning skills in orb of lightning makes the orb shoot more lightnings

so you do more dmg

but its not the spark that gets more dmg

its the orb doing more stuff

[forest gazelle]

Even i can't find any minions build in yt

[craggy gyro]

ah I see

that's good too thanks

[formal shoal]

if you have font of rage

and font of mana

rage gives dmg buff

mana gives mr

[slender fractal]

Rage gives attack damage

[hollow jungle]

Minions seem to be really bad rn, dont think theres any serious builds using them

[meager galleon]

which does nothign for spells like spark

[fickle magnet]

My manifest weapon skill shows in the tooltip that it gains attack speed depending on the quality of the gem, but i cant use a GCP on it, how do i gain quality in the skill then

[meager galleon]

is it a skill provided by an item ?

[fickle magnet]

By an ascendacy

[meager galleon]

yeah, can't quality that afaik

the tooltip might just be there cos someone forgot to remove it

or maybe its not implemented yet

[fickle magnet]

sad

[meager galleon]

early access ¯_(ツ)_/¯

polish pass is the smallest of problems now

[dull crow]

so is 0.2 easier than 0.1?

[hollow jungle]

For most classes no

As merc its easier imo since its one of the few that got buffed

[dull crow]

gotcha

[night pecan]

ANYONE ? same issue here

[craggy gyro]

how do i fix latency spikes

[cloud turret]

Put electrocute on

[hollow cosmos]

i am playing merc grenadier - having issues with a2 final boss. any tips on how to add damage?

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/grenade-mercenary-leveling-guide#skill-progression-guide-header Build im following

My gear is meh as i dont have much currency

[hollow jungle]

I melted a2 boss with explosive+gas grenades

[hollow cosmos]

thats what im doing...

[hollow jungle]

Just try to get some additional physical or fire damage on gear

[hollow cosmos]

i dont fulyl understand how to add damage

[hollow jungle]

Physical damage % also good

[hollow cosmos]

okay

[hollow jungle]

This is the build I was following https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/mercenary-leveling-build?weaponSet=set1

Havent read the maxroll guide so dont know how similar they are

[rotund trench]

i went away and did other things. When I came back, it was fixed

but took a while

potentially ahve to wait for it to time out

[maiden viper]

Can someone help me please? Im stuck and cannot progress (finished compaign) 😢

[azure lava]

Ascent to power is bugged in cruel and cannot be completed. You also don't need to. You don't need to do it to ascend

Or are you saying you cannot access the endgame?

[maiden viper]

But why i cant enter maps?

[azure lava]

Did you talk to doryani to trigger the start of endgame?

[night pecan]

i see well i will try another character i guess XD

thanks for the answer 👍

[maiden viper]

Yes, he gaved me map and opened atlas

[azure lava]

Can you go to your hideout?

[maiden viper]

Yes

[lament stone]

did you complete the map from the map device in the ziggurat?

[azure lava]

Can you open maps from there?

[maiden viper]

No

[twilit eagle]

Anyone that can help me with act2 boss?

[lament stone]

you need to do that first before you can access the map device in your hideout

[maiden viper]

Ok ill check

[azure lava]

Yeah, I'd give #1328202289755983932 a read to help be ready for bosses. Gear is very crucial. Jamanra also does a lot of lightning damage so I'd socket extra lightning res runes and/or use topaz rings to get to 75% lightning res for the fight

[bold spindle]

can i get a price check on rediant grief? hard to gauge, as so many people are price baiting. id assume 1-2 div?

[maiden viper]

Thanks a lot ❤️

[lament stone]

#price-check📉

[bold spindle]

thats a locked thread

which directs you to the site to price check.

[lament stone]

read the most recent message there

[bold spindle]

since theres price fixers... that makes that quite difficult, as i stated.

[lament stone]

we do not do price checks in this server

[hollow jungle]

I bought one for 8 ex earlier today

Like 2-3h ago

[bold spindle]

thanks, so hard to tell when there are these sub 1 minute guys constantly posting

[hollow jungle]

It did take a while to find one, there really were a lot of fake listings

[bold spindle]

yeah, guess its a good time to get the ignores on their accounts.

[hollow jungle]

Yup

[vivid valley]

Yeah I had it on lance

[edgy lagoon]

i have 60 spirit, when do i get the 3rd base spirit upgrade?

[hollow jungle]

I sent out probably 30 whispers before getting a single reply

[cloud turret]

Try it on spear

[lament stone]

cruel act 3

[bold spindle]

yeah, ill just keep trying i guess. if it were a few divines id probably just wait, but good to know trying isnt in vain

[cloud turret]

With volt

[vague furnace]

when do the poe2 will be free

[trim turret]

When it hits 1.0.

[lament stone]

when it fully releases, we dont have a date for that yet

[pastel wave]

How do I find the molten vaault? I checked every corner

[hollow jungle]

Yeah just send everyone a message and hope for the best. I got this for 8, if it has higher evasion/fire res probably worth a bit more

[edgy lagoon]

i found mine top of the map

[hollow jungle]

I would have been happy paying 10+ for a high fire res one but didnt want to risk waiting longer

[cloud turret]

Gotta go right up and then left

[warm cave]

Anyone want to group up? I'm on act2 with my witch (just got to act2).

[lament stone]

#2┃looking-for-group

[knotty totem]

just trynna find the boss for 30mins

is there a button to move the map?

[winged ingot]

arrow keys

[worthy drum]

arrow keys

[knotty totem]

o sankyu<3

[vague furnace]

what version now

[lament stone]

0.2.0

[meager galleon]

if everything goes well, we should hit 1.0 by the end of this year

[worthy drum]

https://tenor.com/view/catholic-meryl-streep-nuns-sisters-i-have-doubts-gif-5743847

[slender fractal]

They said they would release the game in an unfinished state

So end of year is likely , but no idea what that means for the game

[meager galleon]

in december they said that early access will be minimum 6months, and they want to release in 2025, which caps it at max 1y

how true that still is to what they are thinking now, i dont know

[worthy drum]

well, I'm not against GGG or dislike them or whatever, but the truth laid in front of us is literally nothing is going well
didn't expect the massive influx of player, drag manpower from poe1 team, affected poe1 league progress, performance and stability issue...
I'm very skeptical of releasing full game this year in a stable state; if it needs more time just let it cook a bit longer
especially in these days of age where you just blink twice and suddenly 5 years passed for some reason...

[meager galleon]

seeing what ggg can pull off in the years i've been playing, i think they can do it, but it certainly wont be easy, and it might be smarter to delay than to try and crunch it

[marble rapids]

dcs? they updating?

uff, two uniquesi get at lvl 34 are two maces

[torpid topaz]

where do i go in this sun temple

[meager galleon]

there should be stairs in the corners

[torpid topaz]

i check top and right corner and the bottom one is inaccessible

[leaden hill]

Does adding a support to a cast on X gem increase the spells' energy cost?

[royal kindle]

I have a rank 80 ish demon mode that i really vibed with since the start of the game but I took a break returned for the new class struggling a lot more with her then I did before

[torpid topaz]

nvm its not inaccessible it just looks it on minimap
well that sucks i full cleared the area xd
thanks
