[hybrid star]

@torpid topaz try: waypoint to act 1 and see if act 3 changed to the past, or waypoint to temple of chaos normal then portal to town

[vivid valley]

No?

[torpid topaz]

how do i beat this guy

[mystic stirrup]

He bugged out or something you have to restart your game if it keeps happening. I don't know

[worldly kraken]

Highest boss dmg classes this patch?

[torpid topaz]

wait this whole questline was for a single skill gem?
was this whole area optional

[celest gulch]

I wish you could highlight the orbs you don't have to see what they do.

I don't know what half those orbs even are lol

[covert atlas]

Is this in cruel difficulty?

[torpid topaz]

normal

[cunning anvil]

Is there a way to specifically farm Djinn Barya tokens so I can farm relics so I can attempt my 3rd ascension with good relics?

[covert atlas]

Then it should unlock the reforge bench

[zealous osprey]

Nope, random drops from all mobs

[cunning anvil]

So basicaly fuck me I better trade for them then?

[zealous osprey]

Only Act 2 one from Balbala is guaranteed

[zealous osprey]

Lvl 60-70 ones are costlier than usual BTW

Can farm the last few maps (level 60+ zones) in acts to drop a Djinn

But, it's just gonna be a specific ilvl farm and not Djinn specifically

[kind goblet]

Can anyone help me kill the rust boss on act 1

[hybrid star]

#2┃looking-for-group
(even Elon can kill that boss btw)

[upper mantle]

Are crossbows good ? I tried one a before the patch and it kinda sucked wondering if they got buffed

[kind goblet]

I cooked the build and I don't wanna leave 😭

[cunning anvil]

Is it better to farm the end campaign instead of going through maps?

[hybrid star]

top 2 weapon rn

[zealous osprey]

Well, endgame zones which are 60 or just above, like 61-62 will drop Djinn with 3 floors so you can do ascendancy 5-6

[upper mantle]

Oh sick I found a unique One early on and it seems cool

[zealous osprey]

The only difference between that and djinns found in the maps is that maps will be closer to 70 or above, so the encounters will be tougher

[torpid topaz]

how do i go back to the past in the vaal city where you fight viper?
the time travel portal that normally takes me there takes me to act 1 cruel instead
i need to go to the vaal city for a quest, i have a heart item but need to sacrifice it there for 2 skill point

[hybrid star]

but unique sucks

[zealous osprey]

But other than that, can farm maps as well, your choice

[upper mantle]

Oh LOL, Idk what even makes a weapon good

[hybrid star]

a rare with high dps

[torpid topaz]

mostly just look at these 2 numbers

[upper mantle]

rares are the yellowones yeah>

[hybrid star]

yeah look at the numbers

[zealous osprey]

I would prolly look at crit over speed NGL

Cuz you're prolly not spamming your skills due to charges or volt support on LS

[hybrid star]

crit if Amazon

[night terrace]

faster leaps = speedster

[worthy drum]

Dont use that portal in town
Instead walk to drowned city, then use that waypoint and travel to encampment, you will find yourself at the past

[torpid topaz]

still the present sadly

hi all, I'm following this guide

It says

Quest rewards to take:

1. Mana regen from flask
2. stun threshold from venom reward - act 3
3. Life recovery from flask
4. Chaos res from venom reward - act 6

Why stun threshold instead of mana regen?

isn't late game sorta mana dependent?

or even the elemental ailment threshold? (I presume that's boosting your max resist?)

[mental needle]

elemental ailment threshold just helps you resist elemental ailments like freeze and ignite

[loud karma]

ahhh

Why stun instead of mana regen though?

[mental needle]

as for the rest I don't know the build well enough to say if they're smart decisions but fub is a solid enough build maker.

[loud karma]

aight. I'll go stun I guess

I can always work in mana regen elsewhere I suppose

[mental needle]

yeah, the venom choice, especially the first is not all that big a deal.

You can fix whatever you're missing with an affix or a few tree points

[tender sequoia]

nothing seems to be happening whenever i use tame beast on a rare mob, any ideas why? they've been beast type and ive been killing them in a couple seconds after using the move

[wide eagle]

need help with breachstone we are in portal now

[young pollen]

are the Act 3 map changes live already? I ended before act3 cruel yesterday and would rather wait if that patch is not actually implemented yet

[sharp crystal]

guys is the compare bugged>

[loud karma]

Hi all, is anybody having crashing issues.
I'm in Act 3 now, and I'm just crashing to desktop.
No error message, nothing. The game just disappears.

This has never happened to me before

I've already rebooted my machine,
and there's nothing else extra running in the background that's new

the only difference is is got a new hat on my character.

I got a radiant grief helm

[sonic sand]

anyone having this issue??

[worthy drum]

it you at EU gateway it has been rather unstable in the pass few days from what we seen here

[meager galleon]

yeah

keep getting d/c on the regular and i tried different eu gateways

[worthy drum]

ok just discovered slight issue for old steps (that one probably specifically works in cruel only), the step for Normal is as follow

• use the Stargate SG1 portal and you ended up at Cruel
• town portal back to encampment - this is very important detail - the waypoint in the encampment should appear DISABLED
• walk down the long stair into drowned city
• use the way point at drowned city to teleport back to encampment
• you will somehow ended up back in pass utzaal
  just tested this, working in Normal to get back to pass utzaal

[dull copper]

did the recent patch do anything for EU server stability or should I still connect to the US servers?

[torpid topaz]

wtf thanks

is the sacrificial altar in utzaal before or after viper?

[worthy drum]

after

[final geyser]

The altar in question is in the zone after Utzaal, in Aggorat.

[torpid topaz]

thanks i woulda explored this entire area

not this one isi t

[light ivy]

not there

it'll be north east of there i believe

on an edge of the map overlooking the pyramid

[final geyser]

It'll have a checkpoint next to it, and a Sacrificial Knife that drops beside it.

[torpid topaz]

at long past

thanks

[worthy drum]

The position is random, sometime at the left, sometime at the right
A bit annoying as most act 3 maps are quite big.

[mental needle]

It's always been right for me in like 30 total act 3s, it's like you go left, up, then right and the altar is there.

[flat veldt]

ascendency quest not progressing when talking with zarka? says speak with her but nothing hapens

[flint plume]

Are you in Cruel? If so, quest is bugged, ignore it

[flat veldt]

no normal

no sekemas point to travel to either

[mental needle]

Did you kill balbala and get her quest barya and did you complete halani gates?

[flat veldt]

ah i dont remember seeing balbala thats probably it

[mental needle]

traitor's passage

for whatever reason it has to be her barya rn

[flint plume]

Ah yeah, that's it then

You have to kill Balbala for her quest Barya and beat Halani Gates

[paper crypt]

trial of sekhma one shots my friend foir some reason

like a purple debuff one shots him

what is that?

i never had to deal with it

only ahppens in the spike maps

[flat veldt]

worked ty yall

[tacit knot]

When you see "attack damage: xx-xx of base" the first number is level 1 and the second level 20 right? Or?

[sick gulch]

hey, is there any stash tab for runes yet?

[flat veldt]

socketable affinity was said to be in the works

[sick gulch]

ok, i will check ty

[slim nacelle]

What are the divs to ex ratio now

[frank sundial]

ok conection issues are real, not just me

[rigid wagon]

yup, i just got booted

[pallid slate]

nice checkpoint im in textures and cant move

[narrow violet]

are character slots shared between poe1 and 2 or seperate for each

[pallid slate]

separate

why would they not be?

[final geyser]

But I believe buying extra slots in either carries over to the other, so if you've ever bought more slots for PoE1, you'll be enjoying them in 2 as well.

[frank sundial]

should i be using vaal orb during campaign? got my first now in act3

[gentle hare]

Guys, can i have some tips on leveling my Ranger (SSF). I just got level 28 and i have a vendor selling a white Dualstring Bow. This is the currency i have available. Should i buy it and then use some stuff on it?

[silver salmon]

yes that is a good idea

[silver salmon]

see if you have any essence too, but basically use the top left item on it to turn it blue, then the one to the right if it to add another mod

if you like it so far, use the turn magic jnto rare item, which is below

[young plaza]

got any essences ?

[silver salmon]

if you still like it then add another rare mod, to the right

then add quality to it

btw pick up every item dropped with sockets or quality mod and salvage them

and i pick up every blue item too and disenchant

[narrow violet]

wld be better to just buy a weapon on trade site, if it exists

[hybrid star]

they said SSF

[frank sundial]

what poison quest reward to pick from act3 and why?

[narrow violet]

didnt read that

too bad

you can buy alot of good stuff for just 1ex

[frank sundial]

i got a widowhail and i only need to focus on good quivers, im lazy.

[clear wagon]

anyone knows if sorceress is playable? previously tried huntress and didnt like it, and tried minion witch until like lv 20+ also couldnt really find the joy to continue
if i play another one thats dogwater im probably done for the league

[gentle hare]

1x Essence of Ruin
1x Essence of Enhancement

[slender fractal]

You’ll have a bad time in acts 1-3 with about 95% of the builds. It’s just not tuned right atm. Once you hit cruel it becomes much easier

[mental needle]

Neither of those will do anything, you just have to trans aug and see if you get anything

[gentle hare]

Also: I see buildguides rocking 3 Support Gems on their skills. I can only put in 2. How do i get the 3rd slot?

[mental needle]

lesser jeweller's orb

You can get your first guaranteed in act 3 first zone on a little side objective

other than that it's just a random drop

[gentle hare]

Ah ok, thanks!

[mental needle]

there's also another in cruel in the same spot

[gentle hare]

Well, gonna switch to Gas Arrow for a 2nd time. Hopefully now it will be better than Lightning Arrow

[gaunt nimbus]

How does estimated crit chance work

[fleet portal]

can soemoen help? how do i leave now

[sand pecan]

is act 3 shorter now ?

[sand pecan]

lol, are you dead?

[fleet portal]

im stuck on the floor cause i have under 1k hp

[sand pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/pain-suffering-death-star-wars-gif-25111888

open portal

or something

dunno

[torpid topaz]

is there any way for a spear build to access armour break?

[final geyser]

There's the Warbringer ascendancy notable Anvil's Weight, and some supports, possibly a unique or two as well.

In the Uncut Support Gem UI, you can search for 'Break' or 'Armour Break' and find everything that interacts with the mechanic.

[gaunt nimbus]

single out on support gem: supports a mark
While the enemy is marked 10% of your phys dmg is applied as armour break

[runic acorn]

is Bog Witch bugged for anyone else? I have killed her twice now in act 6 but icon doesnt grey out on map, is there anyway to know if i did get the points from her?

[final geyser]

The icon won't grey out, that is a known issue. Her reward is 40 Spirit, not passive points, so if you've got 100 Spirit at base (without items) then you've got the reward.

[torpid topaz]

whats another good support for a mark then

its recommending close combat but uh

[plucky snow]

there is support gem that breaks armor on heavy stun

[meager galleon]

not everything has always a useful support

[next yew]

wtf with this skill tree skipping unlocated points?

[torpid topaz]

what should i use this jewllers orb on? im literally using rake as both clear and boss damage rn

[desert raptor]

Can write annoint amulets before cruel difficultly is complete?

[torpid topaz]

wait u dont get +30 spirit doing the king in act 4?

[mental needle]

Nope

Gotta wait for act 3 cruel +40

[echo sierra]

hey guys, right now i am playing warrior with a cultist greathammer and i saw that later on i wanna use the fanatic greathammer, but im missing many levels for this one. is there a in between weapon i can upgrade to?

[opaque stone]

Zealot Greathammer

[echo sierra]

ah i see, thank you

[heady prairie]

i find it really hard to tell what talent points i have as weapon set 1, i can see the green easier for weapon set II, any tips?

[dry ridge]

Can anyone help me with the act 2 boss please?

[heady prairie]

#2┃looking-for-group

[echo sierra]

anyone knows how to fix mana on a warrior? i have 190 mana and the passive regen is so low that i can use a warcry and then have to pot or i cant use any other attacks 😄

[runic jewel]

OK I don't understand the weapon swap stuff I think. If I have a Merc with two different heavily invested elemental crossbows, it seems like I need to bind a Fire Bolt skill for each one. Which is stupid, and non-sensical. Is there no way to make Fire Bolt just fire whatever weapon is selected?

[light ivy]

it should be bound by default to both weapon sets if you click the arrow next to the skill in the skills menu (g)?

[echo sierra]

if you press g and open the arrow you can select the weapon loadout for the spell, if both are selected you shoot with whatever weapon you have out

[wet carbon]

hmm is there a list of what's inside? can't find it in the shop panel

[final geyser]

If you're referring specifically to the action of shooting a Crossbow, that one is specific to each weapon, so you would need to bind both of them to use them. There is no current way of simply firing - or Default Attacking with other weapons - the currently selected weapon rather than a specific one.

[final geyser]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwJ-oZiclc8

[runic jewel]

No that only swaps weapon automatically for that skill, but you still need to fire it with the correct Fire Bolt skill. See here, how bot the skill on RMB and E has a gold border?

The skill on LMB is Fire Bolt for Weapon I
If I click it, there is another Fire Bolt skill for Weapon II.

So, they are independant. There isn't a Fire Bolt with the currently selected weapon.

[noble tusk]

No, there isn't.

[runic jewel]

That makes it kind of dumb then for Merc.

[noble tusk]

Well, it is what it is. Crossbows have this gimmick of mags and such.

[runic jewel]

Yeah it's just different from the other characters. Makes it unuseable, vs like say the Sorc who can easily swap staffs for different elemental buffs.

[hearty ingot]

how is it?

[trim turret]

Get a source of leech or mana on kill or clarity support on a spirit gem or inspiration support on a mana heavy skill.

[noble tusk]

Well, best you can do is bind 2 attacks and in gems menu lock bolts you can load in each crossbow. It is what it is.

[trim turret]

If it's useful to you then its good.

[hearty ingot]

i play with spear, can it be expensive?

[trim turret]

We don't price check, check on the trade site.

[runic jewel]

I have both Fire Bolt skills bound atm. Dropping a skill in favour. This is an experiment anyway

[warm compass]

how am i supposed to avoid this queen of filth rolling attack? it basically pushes me and i cant do anything and both hits land

[slender fractal]

Stay on top of her

And she won’t do it

[warm compass]

hmm i was trying that but seems like she would still do it occasinally, and then because im on her, it automatically get caught up in the attack

[tawdry venture]

im playing gas arrow but im dealing low dmg + i get 1 tapped in campaign what stats i should go for =?

for dmg

[storm minnow]

chaos damage

[slender fractal]

They might’ve changed when she uses the ability but that’s how it used to work

[tawdry venture]

or i cant tell what item is good for me or good in general or not is there a vid i can watch or can someone help me to understand it

[warm compass]

@slender fractal well just tried again and killed her haha. so not sure what happened that other time. Thanks

[slender fractal]

Haha nice np

[slender fractal]

Life + res on armor pieces and as much physical damage as possible on your bow

Get a dual string bow asap

[sharp lynx]

is it even worth it to buy a weapon for like 8-10 exalted in the campaign? Im at the cruel part rn

[slender fractal]

Not really

Unless you’re really struggling

[heady prairie]

when i hit my r, to summon my totem, it auto switches to weapon slot 2, which has maces, as my weapon slot 1 does not. is there a way i can program my left click to also auto swap to weapon slot 1, to cast cry? even though i can cast it on both weapon slots?

[sharp lynx]

the bleed amazon i play does feel weak rn, but dunno if 10 exalted is worth it instead of just going through the pain yk.

[slender fractal]

That’s a decision you have to make lol 10 ex isn’t that much tbh

[trim turret]

Yes, in the skill menu you can choose which weapon set each skill should use.

[zealous osprey]

Set the skill in left click only to be used on weapon set 1

From the skill gem menu, press the arrow and you'll see options at the bottom

[heady prairie]

i kind of wanted like my left click to be weapon set 1, and like my mouse wheel to be weapon set 2 on the same skill, is that possible?

i apprecaite the responses

[sharp lynx]

ig, well i will see which stage of the game will break me. But is there like a lvl at which i should consider buying weapons at higher prices? Like there were advanced version of weapons and stuff right? Dont wanna buy a weapon at lvl 50 and then at lvl 53 there is an advanced version which is much better. Its been months so im not sure how it was again in the earlier season.

[zealous osprey]

Nope

Sorry was pinging yesway

[heady prairie]

#price-check📉 is how you learn the cost of things

[slender fractal]

I would just look at all the spear bases and figure out which ones are the best for your build and buy those once you get the level

[trim turret]

No I don't think you can assign weapon sets to specific buttons. Just specific skills.

[slender fractal]

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

So you probably just want grand spear cause it’s the most base dmg , but that’s level 79. Can look for an upgrade in between getting that later

[vernal stone]

currently in act 5, leveling with gas arrow amazon. would it be better to switch to lightning spear?

[gaunt nimbus]

does somebody know why i cant place a recombinator in my hideout?

[slender fractal]

You need to do an expedition first

[errant night]

Looking to join on someone in act 3 cruel encampment. I have quests to turn in but can’t access that map after completing campaign

[iron jetty]

ok chat , so is the new best build the rake stomp or gas arrow

[feral cosmos]

Where do Lv5 and Lv7 skill gems drop?

[slender fractal]

You get a guaranteed lvl 5 after killing the executioner , idk about 7

Probably just match up the skill lvl requirement with zone level

[feral cosmos]

Only for the first time, or can be repeated?

[slender fractal]

First time , for the quest

[feral cosmos]

So I guess regular drops will be from the map right after the executioner?

[slender fractal]

That’s what I’d assume. Try matching the skill gem level requirement with the zone level

[pallid slate]

this engame system is trash and shouldnt be present in early access, too many game crashes for this to be in, poe just cant handle this system

[hollow hollow]

I'm not new to the game (lvl 92 witch hunter on 0.1), but I'm playing a Warrior now and the Count's Manor at the end of Act 1 is kicking my butt. The blood pools on the floor just destroy me so fast :/ And of course I have to wrestle with the white mobs lol -- am I the only one having a hard time with this particular zone?

[scenic flare]

why cant i use fast forward on explosive grenade

i need more strength?

i have 22 tho

also btw , i defeated king of the mists but still have 0 spirit

why is that

ive been told i shouldve gotten 30

and what does spirit even do , so many questions 😭

[lament stone]

explosive grenade is not a duration gem

detonation time is a different stat to duration

[scenic flare]

im following a gas greande build and this guy has this support gem on explosive grenade somehow

[lament stone]

youd want expedite to decrease the detonation time

[novel pier]

is it me or are uncut gems not dropping as much as the first league?

[lament stone]

are you looking at a pre 0.2 guide?

[scenic flare]

its from 4 months ago so ig

did they change that many things

[minor raven]

Hello, I enjoyed the game on release and got 2 characters to endgame before deciding to wait for the next update because I didn't like parts of the endgame and now that I'm and trying to play again on the new update I can't because the game just wont stop crashing. It usually crashes when I try to load it up and if not then it's only a matter of time before it crashes when moving between zones or for no reason at all, it has crashed the whole computer several times. I have lowered every graphics setting I can and tried both directx12 and directx11, I have done a full reinstall of the game, I have deleted the config, nothing works please help.

[lament stone]

yea, basically any guide from before 0.2 ist really useable because there are so many changes

[scenic flare]

bruh

where can i find one post 0.2

[lament stone]

basically any guide thats been made after the patch notes were relased, so like 3rd april onwards

[hollow hollow]

I might be super wrong but I feel like you'll have better luck looking on youtube than googling for a written guide

[lament stone]

maxroll will have updated guides

youtube is the best option after that

[scenic flare]

i cant find any

[lament stone]

guide creators will put links in the description

[azure lava]

Read that skull in your inventory

[hollow hollow]

I see a few potential guides here:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mercenary+grenade+build+guide+0.2

[scenic flare]

oh ur right

i think ill go with a merc lighting build

are they still viable?

[azure lava]

We're still figuring stuff out. Loads of things are viable and they plan to roll out buffs to underperforming skills

Go with whatever feels good to you

[scenic flare]

i still dont understand why they keep changing things so much , like its a poe2 game

i mean pve

[lament stone]

balance

[azure lava]

It's in early access and they're firing from the hip with changes to try* to make it feel better

And yeah, they don't want a couple insanely strong builds with everyone else in the gutter

[lament stone]

some builds end up being so strong with specific scalings that its just the most effective way to farm

[slender fractal]

If one thing is stronger than everything else people only play that one thing because if not they fall behind

[grand gull]

Level 63 Stormweaver, impossible to continue, time to reroll...........

[scenic flare]

id go with lightning skills but i see for merc you need way higher skill gems and i dont think ill get any of those soon

ill go with herald of thunder for now

[azure lava]

Impossible? I find that unlikely

[lament stone]

herald of thunder doesnt do anything if you arent shocking enemies by doing lightning damage

[scenic flare]

i only have one single support gem that does lightning damage , and its 40% on the normal arrow shot

i dont seem to have any lightning skills at this point , or any way to get them

[lament stone]

it doesnt add lightning damage to your skill

[scenic flare]

it adds a lighting effect or something

[lament stone]

it only increases any lightning damage youre already doing

[azure lava]

You can also do lightning damage by getting a weapon with lightning damage and/or putting lightning damage runes in it

You can also cast orb of storms and then use a lightning skill

I forget what early crossbow skills there are, but it's possible that lightning crossbow might be hard to do early. If that's the case I'd just spec into generic attack and proj damage and roll with whatever seems to work

[scenic flare]

like this one?

[azure lava]

If you're in early act 1, yeah, that seems fine

[lament stone]

yes, that would make you do lightning damage, which would allow you to shock enemies, then killing those shocked enemies will activate herald of thunders effects

[scenic flare]

i also have this one that i can use some runes with

should i focus on a cold build?

[lament stone]

thats even better if you get lightning damage runes imo

[scenic flare]

should i use this bow with lightning runes?

[azure lava]

If you want to sure

[azure lava]

If you want to go bows, sure

[scenic flare]

btw , how do i activate herald of thunder

[azure lava]

"should" has very little meaning if I don't know what you're trying to accomplish. "Should I drive a Ferrari or a pickup truck?" is impossible to answer unless you qualify with something like, "If I want to get good gas mileage and also get my family to soccer practice, what car should I buy?"

[lament stone]

to activate the gem itself you just right click on its icon in the skill menu

[scenic flare]

ic ty

[trim turret]

No piece of software on version 0.2 is anywhere close to being finished.

And a game being well balanced, feature rich, and fun to play is how you get players to return for thousands of hours trying new builds and updates.

[worthy drum]

Hmm, been trying out the chaos zealot spark variant but not feeling it. Spark flying around but not hitting things consistently making it kinda feels ehhhhh...
Thats not the first chaos zealot i found however, there is an undocumented staff monk variant also cost 60spirit with only basic attack, at first i thought it was mistake but it appear to have much more effective dps actually hitting and killing things... Hhmm...

[mystic wagon]

Can some one help me with crafting my gear is always outdated

[slender fractal]

What kind of help are you looking for

[azure lava]

I'd give #1328202289755983932 a read

It has all the tips I can possibly offer for gearing during (and after, tbh) the campaign

[eternal sage]

Today is the first time I’ve tried this League, is anyone else getting disconnected from the servers regularly or is it an issue on my end?

[glacial jacinth]

can anyone help with 2nd jamanra? please

[slender fractal]

Would you recommend hcssf in its current state ? Thinking of rerolling

[azure lava]

Yep, I'd give this a read #1328202289755983932 to upgrade your gear and be sure to get lots of lightning res. Ideally 75% for jamanra

[worthy drum]

You using EU area gateway? Seems to have problem last few days.
Common recommendation is to use other regions.

[azure lava]

It's purely preference. I'm enjoying it despite dying three times in act 2. I'm on a work trip until the 17th and all I can think about is how badly I wanna try cold chronomancer when I get home

[glacial jacinth]

ya rest of campaign has been a breeze, just this guy if you or someone could assist

[azure lava]

If you're asking for a carry, you want #2┃looking-for-group

[hollow hollow]

really wish they'd ditch the cost of respec during the campaign, or shoot, at least during act 1

[azure lava]

It's really not that expensive tho

If you're vendoring blues and jewelery, gold for respeccing shouldn't be an issue

[quartz wren]

is it only me or everyone's is unstable like so on any server?

[hollow hollow]

I agree it shouldn't be, but I am vendoring and it's still annoyingly expensive (i'm at the end of act 1 currently). I don't understand why it's not just free at this point in the campaign. Imagine someone completely new to ARPGs, seems a bit unnecessarily punishing. I think each point cost me like 250g and the blues etc that drop are maybe selling for 30g on avg?

maybe just me, I like playing around with specs even at this early juncture

[split matrix]

is this worth the 7k ?

[autumn sphinx]

Hello question. What am i supposed to do if i cant kill a boss due to being underpowered? Grind the map?

Compare it to your current weapon(s) and go from there. It's hard to say anything in a vacuum.

[silver salmon]

upgrade gear and gems

[vivid cedar]

guys should i get enough dex to get companion on my chaos lich or int all the way cuz blackened heart?

[silver salmon]

i say definitely

[vivid cedar]

this

[pallid slate]

its only you, i have plenty

[silver salmon]

imo this isnt very good

[silver salmon]

i have more than i need

[sick sage]

U dont need this

Unless u really really want it

[vivid cedar]

damn i had impression that everyone using it

ty

[sick sage]

U have capture soul or something on witch

[vivid cedar]

yeh

[sick sage]

I think its kinda the same

[vivid cedar]

did it with other characters

[trim turret]

Huntress is using it and capturing beasts with auras and other buffs but I'm sure there will be minion builds where they're added. Their value is that you can capture rare monsters and keep their mods with that skill. Spectres you can only capture normal monsters, but you can also have multiple of them.

[autumn sphinx]

I mean id like to do that but i dont have currency

[vivid cedar]

soo u cant have it on lich rn?

[coarse basalt]

need help with jamanra act 2

[normal ibex]

so whats the trick with this new season to play more than 15-30 minutes without losing your full inventory because random disconnects

[final geyser]

Switch gateways, only some are having this issue at the moment.

[normal ibex]

so, london is garbage, noted 😛

[final geyser]

At the moment, yes, unfortunately. Paris and Amsterdam run perfectly for me, and the latency increase isn't high enough to be noticeable.

[trim turret]

Sure you can, if you have the stats to use it and spirit for the reservation.

[normal ibex]

I'll give amsterdam a try then 🙂

[vivid cedar]

yeh i dont use minions just chaos

[eternal sage]

Man… these disconnections for Xbox players right now are insane

Each time they have a small amount of rollback too

[vivid cedar]

had same problem yesterday and once today on eu server

pc

[final geyser]

It's a gateway issue, not a console issue (unless it's a separate problem to the known gateway troubles)

Switching gateways should fix it, there are at least a few that aren't having issues.

[eternal sage]

Ah okay. I figured it was console specific because the only people I’ve seen complain about it today have Xbox symbols next to their names and I am also Xbox

[eternal sage]

How does one do this?

[final geyser]

On PC it's a drop down in the top right of the login screen, not sure where the setting is on console.

[eternal sage]

Found it, thank you. I guess I’ll switch from London to Frankfurt

[azure lava]

Personally I'd say the dex for a beast can be worth it if you find a beast with very beneficial mods. But 70 dex is kinda hefty if you have no other green gems and not a lot of green supports or dex gear

[vivid cedar]

yeh thats what i was thinking

[sinful shuttle]

what is this monster and how do I deal with it?

[median mantle]

Hi, my character suddenly got bugged during the campaign. Events and bosses stop dropping rewards and the incons on the map does not turn black after killing them. I already tried to repair the files on steam but the bugg is still going

Even the bosses from the campaign, it still let continue the story but the they simply stop giving me rewards and the icons do not turn black

[flint vapor]

im sure im missing it but where do you go to see your accuracy rating? when i click character I dont see it there unless im blind?.

[final geyser]

Check your skills.

[sick sage]

Try pressing Z

[flint vapor]

i see it now, thanks

[scenic flare]

guys can you transfer cosmetics from one save to another

like diff character

[final geyser]

Yes, you can freely equip and unequip them as you wish.

[median mantle]

I swear it was not Z, but the bugged got fixed after playing a while later

Thanks anyways

[final geyser]

Only exception being consumables like the skin transfer, those are consumed on use.

[azure lava]

If that's the catacombs in act 1, that's a mob that has a shield that reflects those projectiles back at you if you hit its shield. You gotta walk near it, bait an attack, and hit it where it's not blocking

[sick sage]

Those are the casters

I think

[azure lava]

If it's the ghost by the chest, then I'm not sure

[scenic flare]

is the armor category in shop the one where you can buy cosmetics?

[sinful shuttle]

yeah Im in the tomb of the consort, its so annoying 2 impossible monsters

[frank sundial]

killed the bog witch on act3, is the talisman choice significant or should i pick any?

[sinful shuttle]

so need to walk up to the melee guy and at the same time kill the ranged one that keeps respawning and creating those tornados

[mystic stirrup]

can some one help me through the campaign

[azure lava]

They're impossible if you stand back and spam projectiles at them, yeah

[final geyser]

The Armour cosmetics, yes.

There are also others, such as weapon cosmetics and effects, skill effects, portals and so on.

[sinful shuttle]

man and at the same time it takes 3 seconds per shot and if I roll it resets the time

[azure lava]

You betcha. I'd first start by giving #1328202289755983932 a read if you're struggling with damage/survivability. Gear is where most builds fall short in those categories. For specific build advice, there's a lot of experimenting going on without a lot of solid guides at the moment. I'd recommend holding alt and reading keywords to learn more about them. And be sure to read gems thoroughly to see how they work and what interactions/combos you could make.

Gl exile!

[mild tendon]

im playing lich frost minions, anyone know what ascendancy points i should spend \

[azure lava]

Unholy might is very strong if you can sustain the mana drain. Otherwise... Not sure. What made you go lich in the first place?

[mild tendon]

is it lich? the purple girl

xd

[azure lava]

Lich is an ascendancy class of witch

I'm not sure which one is the purple girl lol

[mild tendon]

yeah lich

[frank sundial]

is the charm reward from the witch in act3 relevant or should i pick any?

[sick sage]

Lich is purple bluish

[azure lava]

You picked lich with an idea in mind I assume, so what was that idea?

[azure lava]

Doesn't really matter. If you're struggling with a certain ailment go with that one

But charms drop like candy

[final geyser]

Just pick whatever you want, it's not too important and you can always find more Charms later on.

[sinful shuttle]

sigh this shit is impossible, they just keep respawning meat shield then their corpses are now projectiles

how does any ranged char fight this map

[azure lava]

Depends on the skill(s)

You could try pierce support

Essence drain + Contagion eats through them like locusts in a pomegranate field

Lightning rod + orb of storms doesn't really care how many mobs there are

[sick sage]

I blasted their asses

End of story

[azure lava]

What skills and supports are you using?

You should have at least one skill with two decent support gems in it by now

[sinful shuttle]

fragmentation rounds, brutality, ammo conservation

[azure lava]

Can you screenshot your weapon?

[undone ice]

how do i see how much damage i would get if i choose a passive

[azure lava]

Normally you'd hold shift, but I think it broke in 0.2

[final geyser]

Yeah, it did

[azure lava]

Hmm... Can you screenshot fragmentation round? I forget what it does

You can also try grenades

[undone ice]

damn hopefully it gets fixed soon thanks

[azure lava]

Are you freezing anything?

[sinful shuttle]

I have permafrost bolts in alt weapon but it still takes time to reload as well

[azure lava]

Idk how good that skill is without comboing off of freeze

Ah, I see

[final geyser]

It's alright, but way better with Freeze.

[azure lava]

Can you show your passive tree? You should have enough damage by now to deal with that room

[sinful shuttle]

so I should invest in freeze more

[final geyser]

Anyway, you don't need to have a second weapon for Permafrost Bolts, it's possible to use it with just one.

[sinful shuttle]

then thats additional time you need to keep swapping back and forth no?

+.8s to alternate every other shot

[azure lava]

I'm not sure why you went through the dex, but that's not as bad as I expected

[final geyser]

There's also a weapon swap delay, and you still need to reload each Ammo type separately. Plus, it's quite easy to bring down reload speed with some nodes on the tree.

[azure lava]

Why are you weapon swapping for this? Why not just use permafrost bolts first, load frag, then shoot? All with the same cbow

[sinful shuttle]

yeah I am a bit heavy on dex but I figured later on it would be helpful

so planning it out a bit

uhh cause its like +.8s, to load, then reload, then load then reload

[azure lava]

The main purpose of attributes is to fulfill gear/gem requirements. Beyond that they're very meh

[sinful shuttle]

but Ill try it on the same

[final geyser]

Unless you're attribute stacking, of course.

[azure lava]

It's rude to talk about the deceased like that so soon after they passed

[final geyser]

xd

[sinful shuttle]

where is respec? I will try more damage vs more dex

[azure lava]

With swap it's:
Load frost, shoot frost, swap, load frag, shoot

Right?

Or do you not need to load the second cbow?

[sinful shuttle]

its already preloaded so just reload

but there is swap time like fairshadow said

so could be wash in the end

[azure lava]

Gotcha. Is there anything useful you can use outside of ammo conservation?

Seems like something that's not too helpful

[sick sage]

Is this csgo

[sinful shuttle]

its another shot to avoid reloading which is mana and time

[azure lava]

If you're a cbow build, kinda.

I didn't know loading costs mana, damn

[sinful shuttle]

I guess pierce is okay, but I have free pierce, so it reduces the damage on those free pierces

[azure lava]

Yeah, don't use pierce on frag

[final geyser]

Loading is what costs Mana, shooting doesn't.

[azure lava]

Oh, wild

[sinful shuttle]

yeah

its a bit backwards

but makes ammo conserve strong

[azure lava]

The only time I've used a cbow was when I was trying a grenade chronomancer. No shooting necessary

What are you using on permafrost? I'd go glaciation and maybe cold infusion. Or if there's something to raise freeze duration, that would work too

[sinful shuttle]

uhh got cold infusion and pierce

alternative is cold nexus

[azure lava]

Seems fine so far. You don't get freezing salvo for the bow until much later, right? I was gonna say if you're weapon swapping you might as well try it, but I think it's much later

[final geyser]

Later, yeah

[azure lava]

I think the best strat for the tomb might be just run into melee range and see what happens, or just run past

Or huck some nades

[sinful shuttle]

problem I have with granades is the planning to where they will be

but yeah ill try more granades

[azure lava]

I just throw three out and hope for the best

The grenade aiming in poe2 makes me want to pull my hair out

That's why I quit that grenadier build

[sinful shuttle]

yeah its difficult

[azure lava]

I had to aim at my toes to make them go where I wanted

[final geyser]

Weirdly, I've not run into major issues with them. It's usually more of an issue when the enemy just moves away (looks at all the mobile bosses)

[woven portal]

How do i put in a loot filter?

[rose galleon]

Is there a bug for Infested Barrens A3 or server wide that's lagging people out? Dunno why, but just this area is causing me issues

[real mesa]

Why is geonor such a pain in the ass

[valid sky]

Can falling down projectiles chain from the ground

like from the terrain nodes

[opaque stone]

No

[neat quest]

Anyone doing ascendancy runs?

[sage phoenix]

Hello. I'd like to start the league now, what kind of league starter would you recommend after the latest changes?

[nova turtle]

The Amazon node - Penetrate. Does this apply before %phys increase on weapon mods? Looking through search, it seems nobody knows 🤣

[dusky burrow]

after

it's the same as flat phys on your rings or any other global source

[nova turtle]

Interesting, thank you for the answer!

[azure lava]

For free? Not likely. For a profit? Not allowed on this server. For the former you can try #2┃looking-for-group, read the pins first

[azure lava]

Essence drain contagion on witch/lich or sorceress/chronomancer would be my recommendation

But lots of stuff works and they're rolling out buffs

I've heard good things about artillery ballista

[void bramble]

Essence drain does what?

[regal moat]

what class should i go something strong?

[sick sage]

Succ essence

And dot

[void bramble]

What's essence

[sick sage]

Life

[void bramble]

It is?

[sick sage]

A tiny bit

Yea

[void bramble]

Oh

[stone lotus]

Struggling in act 2 with a grenade build. Put 200 hours in .1

[void bramble]

Why don't they call it life?

[stone lotus]

This is frustrating

[sick sage]

Idk

[regal moat]

anyone know the best classes right now?

[stone lotus]

I never get currency

[sage phoenix]

Ty

[charred kindle]

Is Viper going to be nerfed or what?? ffs getting 1-2 shot by spear walls

[winged quiver]

what are ppls thoughts on the new changes today?

i took a lil break and then saw a flood of negative reviews lol

[final geyser]

You can dodge through those attacks.

[charred kindle]

7 deaths , honestly i won't bother anymore - i am getting either one shot or two shot (act 3) ~1100 hp and ~400 energy shield (~30-40 res)

by those stupid unbalanced spears

[winged quiver]

it took me a minute against viper but yah once you get it its not so bad to dodge

[sick sage]

Cruel?

[charred kindle]

no

no cruel

[winged quiver]

the poison doesnt make me happy though

[charred kindle]

act 3

[sick sage]

[charred kindle]

It's not poison, it's physical damage from the spears no?

[winged quiver]

i thought that her spears eventually also do poison dont they?

[charred kindle]

i am talking about the spear wall

the dudes around

[winged quiver]

oh yah thats annoying

[final geyser]

At least some attacks can inflict Poison, but I believe most of the hits are just Physical.

[charred kindle]

litteraly - not evaiding once getts me killed by those spears

[winged quiver]

i havent played this patch yet but it does seem like the difficulties up a lil

[charred kindle]

try it

it's total bs

[winged quiver]

at least from what ppl said

[charred kindle]

with that boss

[winged quiver]

might try a merc this time :>

[charred kindle]

i have full gold gear , hp on everything , qual 20%

rare*

doesn't matter

[vivid cedar]

does eldrtrich power work with contagion?

[winged quiver]

whats ppls thoughts on the new character?

[slender fractal]

Twister is fun

[vivid cedar]

fun

[timid bolt]

Roa mount >

[winged quiver]

lightning spear sounds fun

[gentle hare]

Can you reset your Ascendancy in some way?

[slender fractal]

It’s very good

[thorn tusk]

How do you change hideouts. I'm using dreadnought hideout but want to use the one from the $90 paladin pack

[charred kindle]

Only the leveled points but you can't switch to a different one.

[slender fractal]

I believe you talk to
Alva

[gentle hare]

Crappppppppppppppppppppppppppppp. I messed up

[charred kindle]

Back to grind 15 hours

hf

[gentle hare]

Well, i just got into Act 3

But i think i'm way beyond 15 hours lol

It's my first playthrough

[charred kindle]

You get the jist

[gentle hare]

And i barely know/knew any of the mechanics

[charred kindle]

😄

[gentle hare]

Yeah, agree. Next ones will go way faster i guess

[slender fractal]

Much faster

[charred kindle]

Get ready to have your ass owned by that creature.

[thorn tusk]

Does it matter what difficulty I talk to her or just talk to her in act 3

[slender fractal]

Is this your first playthrough ?

Like did you ever have a hideout ?

You should be able to /hideout

And talk to her there

[gentle hare]

What is that?

[thorn tusk]

Not first playthrough just never knew you could change it. Alva.isnt in my hideout

[charred kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/death-spongebob-smile-rainbow-gif-15431174

[jagged dawn]

"new player campaign help"

• confused that someone is new in campaign

[charred kindle]

It's a boss in act 3

[slender fractal]

No lol I was asking because if you had a hideout in a previous playthrough you can just go to your hideout at any time

But if it’s your first playthrough you have to get to maps first

I’m not sure if you can talk to her in act 3 to change

[slender fractal]

Shut up

[jagged dawn]

sorry , misread the room

I'm toxic

[slender fractal]

You can add Alva to your hideout through customizing it. Idk how that works on console tho

[winged quiver]

yeah so far seems rlly cool im so far starting with twister till i can get lightning spear

[alpine silo]

why does it still reserve 40 spirit if it should cost 2 less due to quality

[final geyser]

It's 2% reduced, not a flat 2 reduced

[slender fractal]

40-2%=39.2 which I assume is rounded up

[alpine silo]

ah... damn, but thanks for the info!

i have venomous crabs as spectre and they actually seem pretty powerful. i have corrosion anf martial tempo on them

[sage phoenix]

I would like to try a ballista build as a starter, could you suggest a good build? Not sure even which class to start in, I see 3 options.

[unique moat]

is this actaully worth 1 div

cause idk how is this good

[slender fractal]

Ziz has an artillery ballista build

[azure lava]

Rare gear doesn't necessarily mean it's better. Also movement speed on boots and a good life flask are super important. Do you have those?

[charred kindle]

best flask you can have at that level. (i am playing sorc) , i care not for movement on that boss, the spear wall is one-two shoting me.

no ms is going to save from that

[azure lava]

When you say spear wall, do you mean the green strikes?

[sage phoenix]

The Smith of Kitava one?

[slender fractal]

Yeah

[azure lava]

Like when she throws out green balls and makes the dudes stab?

Movement speed helps immensely there

If you have boots with zero momvment speed, going to 15 or even 10% would feel like night and day

[azure lava]

Do you have good mods on said flask?

Life extra recovery and more uses?

Maybe instant recovery

[cloud sage]

is there any progression guide? what to do each act

[charred kindle]

The whole discussion of having the best possible thing on flask to survive one shot spell of a (boss that you are forced to do in early acts in campaign) is ridiculous to me.

(This is the one i have)

[trim turret]

It's used for stat stacker builds, which are somewhat expensive. I dont know what that is worth, you'd have to price check it.

[unique moat]

I priced it at 10 exlated orbs

[trim turret]

If your chat starts blowing up with people trying to buy, you may have underpriced it.

[foggy solstice]

lfg jamanra normal

[cloud sage]

is there any begginer guide? what to do each act to get to maps as fast as possible

what filter to use

[spice ice]

If you are a begginer just wait for fixes game isn't fun atm

[scenic flare]

i got the game the other day and im already 8 hours in , idk about metas and stuff im just doing my own thing going through the campaign

[final geyser]

That's an opinion you're welcome to have, but plenty of people disagree.

[normal ibex]

thats hardly a good attitude for an EA game tbh

should have waited for actual release

[charred kindle]

it's all good until you hit a hard block, which happens more often now.

[spice ice]

Yeah exactly , i just stated my opinion

[scenic flare]

this is also my first arpg ever

[normal ibex]

theres going to be bugs from beginning to end... welcome to Early adopter gaming

[scenic flare]

well if that happens i might just respec and lookfor guides

but i dont expect to get to the end game and mapping on my first character easily

[spice ice]

A game with a price and microtransactions isnt EA. it is just a money grab

[alpine silo]

i never knew amulets could give additional spirit

[spice ice]

my opinion again

[normal ibex]

2 things can be true at the same time

[spice ice]

And i play the game dont get me wrong i just dont defend it on being mediocre

[scenic flare]

ive actually seen a lot of streamers and community members complain about the new league

when the majority of the playerbase isnt satisfied then something mustve gone wrong

[slender fractal]

Majority is a stretch

More like Reddit/discord

[scenic flare]

btw , when does act 2 start? i just got to the desert area after beating geonor

[final geyser]

The people that are expressing dissatisfaction are very loud, but that doesn't mean that the majority agree with it (though note that I don't have precise stats on the matter, so I cannot know exactly what the ratio is). It just tends to be that those with a different opinion are shouted down a lot of the time, unfortunately.

[final geyser]

You are now in Act 2.

It starts after you travel to the desert and see the cinematic.

[normal ibex]

streamers are not important people, they are just single player like everyone else

[slender fractal]

But my streamer said game is bad so game is bad

[scenic flare]

oh btw i just realized , did i start my first character on the temporary league if it says down of the hunt league 😭

will i be able to keep my character after the league is over

[final geyser]

Yes.

After a league ends, character are just merged into their equivalent Standard leagues.

And even after Early Access ends and the game enters 1.0, all characters will remain available for you to play.

[scenic flare]

oh i see , is there any new mechanic to this league that isnt in the standard league? so i dont get confused when its over

[final geyser]

Not with Dawn of the Hunt, potentially with future leagues.

[scenic flare]

oh alright , thank you

[slender fractal]

Just some new additions to the core game

No league specific content

[normal ibex]

theres that new quest chain, unless that got added to standard

[scenic flare]

👍

[slender fractal]

That’s core

[final geyser]

The Wisps are also present in Standard, it's a core game mechanic.

[scenic flare]

btw whats the base loop of this game , is it the first 3 acts , then repeat them again on cruel and at last the mapping?

[slender fractal]

Yes

[final geyser]

Yes, although the intention is for Acts 4-6 to be added in over the course of EA, so you eventually won't need to repeat the first three twice on one character.

[scenic flare]

oh yeah ic , thatd be good

i was wondering if they intend to keep it like that cause itd get repetitive

although i dont think id personally mind, i really like the areas and bosses so far

[opaque stone]

They've traditionally been very against campaign skipping

[covert atlas]

They’ve recently shown they’re willing to trim the fat off some zones if needed

So ideally it’s a lot smoother of an experience at launch

[tall iron]

Does it makes sense to add flat elemental damage to low level weapon instead of adding %phys?

Or phys is always superior even in early game

[opaque stone]

If the weapon has added flat phys, use %phys, otherwise ele is probably better

[sinful moss]

Anyone else crashing all of a sudden? Been stable as hell but now I can't play more than a few seconds in Act1 without crashing :/

[timid forum]

How do i get map boss skill points 7 and 8 this season?
since corrupted doesnt give +1 level i cant reach lvl 82 maps anymore as far as i know

[undone ice]

fast forward doesnt affect stormcaller arrrow

?

[hardy rock]

It can, it's RNG

Corruption effects vary, only some give +1 to zone area.

[trim turret]

I would think it should.

[severe hedge]

is there a channel which will help with ascendency ?

[hollow jungle]

Anyone know if its a good idea to turn most currencies into exalts? I just want to make sure my currency doesnt lose value in terms of what I could buy as the days go.

[azure lava]

We can offer advice and build help here. You can try asking in #2┃looking-for-group but read the pins first.

I'd recommend reading #1328202289755983932 to help beef up your build

[azure lava]

If anyone tells you with any certainty what to do with your currency to make money in the future, ask them where they got their crystal ball

[hollow jungle]

Haha fair enough, I'm just pretty new to trading in general and want to know how to keep my orbs

[rough dew]

Are the servers laggy or is it me?

[hardy rock]

Convert to divs

[hollow jungle]

Thats the plan when I can manage to amass enough ex

But are ex and div generally the trading currencies? Nothing else?

[azure lava]

Typically yes

But we can't say if jeweller's, chaos, alchemy, etc. will suddenly become super in demand and make them the best thing to hold on to

[hollow jungle]

I see, that makes sense!

[zinc basalt]

where in act 2 i get jewellers orb?

[hollow jungle]

Thank you for the help

[azure lava]

I don't think they drop until act 3

[zinc basalt]

sorry i meant in act 3

i herd u can get it by camp

[azure lava]

But you can buy them from players with the currency exchange if you've unlocked that on another character. Or use the trade site

[azure lava]

I think There's a guaranteed jewelers orb drop in the first zone of act 3. Before the town

Lesser jewelers*

[zinc basalt]

ok ty

do i get t2 supports in act 3 too?

[regal moat]

is tornado huntress viable?

[azure lava]

I'm not sure

[azure lava]

Viable for what?

[final geyser]

Towards the later half of Act 3 iirc.

[tall iron]

Which one would be better for overall dps? 2nd one I can put even a %phys rune. 🤔

[zinc basalt]

would go for lightning spear

and put iron rune

[azure lava]

There's a thread in #1308715317375270952 for calculating dps, but the left has 55-125 damage and the right has 46-136. So 90 vs 91 average damage before runes

And the right is also missing quality which should be a huge boost

What's the damage from an iron rune vs a lightning rune?

I'd maybe even exalt the right spear

[tall iron]

Yeah dps tool shows only 4 dmg difference in favor of 2nd spear.. Just torn if elemental damage is weaker in general dps, without focusing ailments..

[azure lava]

But I play ssf so idk what exalts are worth

[azure lava]

Your skills should convert phys to elemental, no?

[tall iron]

yeah im using fang of frost and twister

[azure lava]

Read those, they should say what they convert

[regal moat]

is it a good build to playt the game with

[errant night]

I used it till about level 60, super fun. Got 10x better with a level 3 supp gem though

But early stages, was fun too

[tall iron]

Semi cold focused I guess, says converts %80 phys to cold, twister has no specific conversion.

Dont have many strong runes but once socketed I guess 2nd one would surpass, I'm also non-trading but 2nd spear has only suffix left, so might not worth exalting 🤔 will think on this. Thanks 🙏

[regal moat]

ok thanks

[azure lava]

It can get attack speed or crit

[rain trail]

where’s the tech help discord

[azure lava]

We do what we can, but idk of any such discord

[rain trail]

i’m suddenly getting sound lag out of nowhere. just a delay of like a second with every sound effect including UI

[azure lava]

I'd submit a bug report and maybe try restarting everything you can

[regal moat]

did u switch builds now tho?

[errant night]

I did yeah. Gone to lightning spear huntress

[regal moat]

nice i did lightning arrow ranger last season im gonna switch to tornado so it feels like im not doing same build thanks for replying

[patent sapphire]

anyone doing trial 3 carrys?

[azure lava]

Not in this channel and probably not in #2┃looking-for-group either

But that's where you'd find them if they exist

[quasi minnow]

anyone able to help kill Jamanra?

[elder flax]

How do ascends carry work if i wanna carry my friend? do i enter last boss room then tp out invite him and we both walk in together?

or is it the room before the boss

[opaque flare]

guys how is ice shot deadeye in 0.2

is it any good

[tall iron]

does the gem damage type conversion happens last? Or notables from trees can buff them? like fangs of frost gets buffed if I pick increased elemental damage from tree?

[signal fox]

Is there a way to reset what monster is "caught" by bind spectre?

ie can I catch a new one without getting a new gem

[split matrix]

which one is better ?

[clear vine]

Are you able to give the skill 'spearfield' an element? like make it icy?

[final geyser]

If your weapon does elemental damage, or if you apply a Cold/Fire/Lightning Infusion support gem, then Spearfield will do that type of damage and potentially Chill, Ignite, Shock, etc.

[analog depot]

anyone know any twink setups to speedrun campaign with warrior?

[polar gyro]

caan anyone help with trial of sek, we dont risk dying just lagging and honor runing out

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

[azure lava]

Equip them both and check your dps. But I don't see a world where Havoc Ruin loses

Unless you really value the splash

[trim turret]

Not right now, you need a new gem.

[tawdry light]

can someone help me out with priest of sun normal dificulty ?

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group

I'd also recommend reading #1328202289755983932 to beef up your character. Keeping up with gear is like 60% of the campaign difficulty

[lime cave]

Are there any classes or builds considered more controller friendly? Or ones to avoid on controller?

[tawdry light]

i mean i upgraded my build but on other hand i play sorc so survival isnt strongest xD

[plain hearth]

Is there anybody in act 3 normal I can join. I forgot to get the hag and can’t warp to any gate in the present. Only the past

[azure lava]

In the campaign your class doesn't really affect your survivability

Everyone should be getting life and res on gear, movement speed on boots, upgrading life flask, etc

[clear vine]

Is ice huntress doable? (purely projectile)

[azure lava]

If there are skills for it, it's doable. But it also depends on how you define doable

[clear vine]

like will it be good

and also

wait

alr

so

can wind skills be turned into icy wind?

[azure lava]

Have you played enough to know what a good build feels like?

[clear vine]

not sure tbh

i just want anything that feels good for me personally

i don't want anything meta defining aslong as its of my own creativity rather than someone elses

[azure lava]

I'm just curious because lots of people come in here and ask if X is good, viable, playable, doable, etc. And if you've never played before, I could just recommend a dog water build and tell you it's good and you wouldn't know the difference

[clear vine]

and ofc, its viable

[azure lava]

Okay, good for your personally is something I can work with

[clear vine]

as long as it works, i wouldn't care but atm im not looking for recommendations

[azure lava]

What types of playstyles do you enjoy?

[clear vine]

uhh

well

anything

like theres no specifics

[zealous fog]

Need help lachlan MonkChoice

[clear vine]

if something catches my it catches my eye

[azure lava]

Well then I can't really recommend any specifics XD I would recommend just jumping in an trying shit out

[clear vine]

well

[azure lava]

You can click on all the skills when you cut a gem to see a video of how they work

[clear vine]

my idea was to use glacial lance w herald of ice

[azure lava]

Watch some of those

[clear vine]

and then use barrage with cast on freeze

and maybe that whirlwind skill but does that have elemental changes?

like whirling slash?

[azure lava]

Barrage won't work with cast on freeze, I think

It has a cooldown

But maybe that's fine?

[clear vine]

yea idm

[azure lava]

I forget what you can use with trigger gems

[clear vine]

i can always make the cd shorter or add charges

i believe

[azure lava]

No, like, it literally might not let you socket barrage in cast on freeze

[clear vine]

ah

well we'll see

i have other ideas but they weren't as prominent

[azure lava]

Read cast on freeze and it should say what you can and can't use with it

[clear vine]

ah alr

and the other thing

does the whirlwind skill

i think its t 11

have elemental changes?

like whirling slash does

[azure lava]

I'm not sure. I'm not at my pc and I haven't touched any of the spear skills yet

If you're ingame you can check by cutting a gem

[clear vine]

i can't rn not high enough level and don't have a gem

[compact thorn]

is rarity still important?

[clear vine]

yes, but not as much i believe

still nice to have

[soft cobalt]

Would I be able to fully enjoy the game even if it's my first character ? I feel like it's really overwhelming when it comes to stats / what to sell etc

[inner plinth]

Can anyone tell me why I speak to Zarka but she doesnt give me the quest state?

[azure lava]

You can read gems of any tier with any uncut gem (of the same type)

[woeful palm]

Someone can help me for boss cruel act 1 please ?

[azure lava]

Yep, I'd give #1328202289755983932 a read to beef up your character. Gearing is the main hurdle of the game so getting better at it will mean you can kill bosses without anyone's help

[clear vine]

oh i tried doing that, it says the same as whirling slash but for its own specific description (whirling slash doesn't say anything about elemental changes but it has them)

[worthy drum]

Just jump in and play. Saying too many things without context of what the game is like, is kinda pointless.
If you havent bought poe2 access, simply try out poe1 instead since its free, and easier.... Poe2 is much harder, almost masochistic compared to poe1.
(i not saying the learning curve is low though, just the encounters in campaign will be way easier)

[sharp wing]

Can someonehelp with an act 3 boss ?

[silver salmon]

man how would we know? just play the game, you dont need to follow a build or guide to finish it or have fun. first char is not much different from 2nd.

[azure lava]

It depends on what "fully enjoy" means and what you enjoy. There are lots of helpful people here to ask if you get overwhelmed. If you enjoy experimentation and trying new combinations of skills to try, poe2 might be up your alley.

And even if you don't enjoy your first character but might enjoy thr 2nd, there's no way to get to that 2nd character without the 1st, sooo...

[silver salmon]

if you want tip, disenchant every blue item, salvage every with socket or quality mod, and dont be afraid to spec into defense a bit

[azure lava]

I wouldn't disenchant every blue. That seems like a terrible idea imo. But that's the beauty of poe2. It's not anywhere close to solved yet

[vernal finch]

What's the lowest level I can do trail of sek for 3rd ascendancy? Is it 3 floors?

[lament stone]

yea 3 floors, which is a level 60+ trial of sekhemas

[candid quartz]

Hey, is anyone able to help me with Jamanra?

[woeful palm]

Someone can help for my first temple of chaos please ?

[waxen osprey]

can orb of chaos reroll an item into the same affix, but with a different value?

[dusky burrow]

yeah

[azure lava]

Yep, I'd give #1328202289755983932 a read to help beef up your character with better gear. Jamanra also does a lot of lightning damage, so I'd try to get your lightning resistance to 75%. Topaz rings and runes help a bunch

[azure lava]

@woeful palm

Minus the Jamanra part. The trials of chaos are very rng. If you fail one, try again and you might just get much easier modifiers or zones to do

[waxen osprey]

75% lightning resistance is exaggerated, its not needed, if you get like 30% you should be fine

[azure lava]

@woeful palm whoops, mean to reply to you

[azure lava]

It's also not hard at all to get 75% for that fight, even if you have to put on weaker rings

[worthy drum]

If you expert sure... I wouldn't fight those bosses with under 50%

[azure lava]

Even if it's not necessary, it just makes it way more comfy

[cunning anvil]

What stat(s) are responsible for not getting staggered?

Doing maps and sometimes a bunch of ranged mobs shoot a bunch of projectiles at me and stunlock me from multiple staggers preventing me from attacking

[hasty remnant]

is there a point in doing inscribed ultimatum if it says i can't get skill points ?

[lament stone]

stun threshold

[lament stone]

they can have good drops, but its not normally worth farming the lower level versions

[quaint pollen]

Ultimatum specific drops you get rewards at the end. Maybe some runes too. But in general not worth to if it's not full ultimatum which is 10 areas

[alpine coral]

Question for bog witch when you get trapped by the bones and she’s going to do the fire inside of it. Are you supposed to roll as the fire is coming or leave out of it? Because when I leave out of it. She snaps her fingers and I’m dead 😂

At this point I’d rather take my chances dodge rolling the fire inside.

[quaint pollen]

Motorcycle bitch ?

[alpine coral]

Yep

Annoyed with the minons trying to attack her as well. 😭

Feel bad for melee bros

[quaint pollen]

Not sure which attack you mean. But when she rides the bike just i got hit on purpose to make her stop as i play melee

[alpine coral]

When she traps you with the bones parallel lines and fire goes through the bones

[quaint pollen]

Ah i just went behind her in that part

[alpine coral]

When I do that. She snaps her fingers and I die instantly. 😂

As soon as I leave the bones

[quaint pollen]

Maybe there's an actual mechanic. But I'm not aware of it

[alpine coral]

As soon as I leave it to not get burned I run behind her and when I do I die.

[split burrow]

i just picked giant blood and was wondering 2 things, while dual wielding is this normal that my character becomes VERY slow, my attack speed deacresed by two folds . And if i wield a shield does he block passively or do i have to only use skills that make me guard to block ?

[alpine coral]

When you put on weapons and armor it slows your character down.

[lament stone]

you have passive block which is what block chance is for

[split burrow]

oh ok nice

[lament stone]

your attack speed is based on your weapons attack speed with any multipliers from skills/tree/gear on top of that

generally mace skills are just slow

[split burrow]

my two maces have the same attack speed but when i equip both my attack speed seems to became the addition of the two

[echo sierra]

does the "body armour grants 20% increased strength" from the smith count for all str sources? otherwise it wouldnt make any sense s ince the body armour has to be a white item

[lament stone]

its global

[echo sierra]

ah thats nice, when do i get the 3rd ascendancy points?

[split burrow]

and it's unplayable, my rolling slam says 3sec attack time while dual wielding, and lose dps , so i was wondering what is the point of dual wielding ?

[lament stone]

higher damage per hit

its something youd want to use on like a high damage attack against a stunned boss like hammer of the gods

not really for clearing packs of mobs

[split burrow]

ok i see, like a second loadout ?

[lament stone]

yea

[split burrow]

ok, that seemed just not intuitive, usually while you dual wield in games your overall attack speed increase

[echo sierra]

what is a good ability to use to stun bosses? rn i play leap slam, hammer of gods, perfect strike and boneshatter

and infernal cry for that matter

[lament stone]

mace is the only weapon we have rn that can be dual wielded, and it is just a slower weapon type, with some of the skills having a function to use both weapons at the same time when dual wielding, at the cost of even slower attack speed

but maybe when we get something like daggers or swords there could be dual wield skills that are faster

[split burrow]

ok thx

[lament stone]

idk i havent used mace skills because theyre so slow

[echo sierra]

ah ok, i just onetap all enemies but when bosses move and i miss my perfect strikes its annoying

[cunning anvil]

Stun Threshold and health I guess?

[sour laurel]

Are these gloves good?

[boreal hedge]

First character should always be experimental imo. Just wing it while you learn the in's and outs of the game

[trim turret]

Good for what? Do they help your build in some way? They are oriented towards builds that use all three elements.

[trim turret]

Focus on doing something well. Find synergies between skills. Look for life and resists on gear. Don't ignore magic (blue) items, two good stats are worse than 5 bad ones. Use a weapon relevant to your build. Read everything, especially underlined words.

[faint rover]

hey could anyone help me with 3rd ascendancy trial?

[dusky stream]

Is it normal to have to consistently trade for items every act to keep the build somewhat usable during the campaign? Currently in Act 2 Cruel and dps feels real low.

[gaunt phoenix]

by the time you are in act 2 cruel yes is its normal to need to upgrade and start looking for actually decent gear.

thats around the time where you start wanting better then just random stuff you manage to craft or find

particularly rings and amulets could potentially still be viable by end game

[dusky stream]

I've been struggling since normal act 2. Just for comparison, I still do not 1 shot normal packs in normal act 2 at lvl 53.

[covert atlas]

You shouldn’t have to trade during campaign, sometimes you can get super unlucky with weapon drops though

so you can either gamble, check vendors every level or trade for something cheap

[dusky stream]

What's weird is my weapon is consistently the best piece.

[covert atlas]

With the way loot drops in campaign It’s definitely possible to just get super unlucky

but I also think as long as your res aren’t negative and your dps isn’t terrible, you should be ok

[dusky stream]

DPS is 355

[covert atlas]

Armor is a meme but it’s actually quite helpful in the campaign

[covert atlas]

What’s the actual weapon though

[dusky stream]

Spear

[covert atlas]

Well I mean the stats on it

[covert atlas]

ok, normal act 2? It’s probably useable but not amazing

[dusky stream]

Cruel act 2

[covert atlas]

Oh that’s super low then

[dusky stream]

I was just using normal for comparison

[covert atlas]

The blue physical damage number is pretty much all you care about tbh

Since any elemental you’re doing is converted

[dusky stream]

Accuracy is important for crit

[covert atlas]

It should probably be in the 100s at that point

I played Amazon too, you can worry about that later

That 58 accuracy is not much better than just taking 2 +5 Dex on the tree

It will matter once the numbers start getting bigger

[rigid elk]

is there a known issue where your health wont regen or fill on flask use?

[covert atlas]

Are you a lich

[rigid elk]

oh god, dont tell me its something im overlooking

[covert atlas]

Your life can’t change while you have ES

Is the node you took, you need a good amount of ES sustain for that to be good

[rigid elk]

ya know, i never thought of it in the negative way.... i was just thinking it meant it wont go down..... welp, lol

ok. got a question about the the previous node for lich. With "Soulless Form," does the "No inherent Mana Regen" mean that all the passive nodes that give mana regen wont work... inturn meaning i only receive mana regen based on my max life?

[echo sierra]

they do but it scales with your 6% base hp as regen

[covert atlas]

^^

[rigid elk]

ok kool

[echo sierra]

and for the your life dont change, either the spirit spell to start regenerating ES is good or use the node that you can pot for ES

[gusty garnet]

#hi all, my "ascent to power quest" is bugged so I can't enter trial of sekhema. is it possible to get the asendancy carry through trial of chaos (trial master)?

[drowsy axle]

at what level do we strart getting lvl2 support gems to drop?

[hard blade]

Now the hard decision?

Is infuse weapon good?

[odd scarab]

what is this effect?

[sour laurel]

I'm a sorc,

[trim turret]

That means nothing. There are many ways to build a sorceress.

Are you doing anything that would benefit from all three elemental damage types?

[sour laurel]

Please don't be condescending, this is a chat ment for new players and some of us are casuals. As far as I see sorc, it's a elemental play style "is this good" meaning is there advantages to leeveing out my elemental damage this way and is this a item that would be wise to use long term. You are asking the questions I'm trying to answer.

[trim turret]

I wasn't I'm simply explaining that telling me you're a sorc has no bearing on whether those gloves would be useful to you. I have no idea if there's a build out there right now that benefits from using all three elements equally. And asking "are these good" in a vacuum with no other information doesn't give people trying to help much information to work with.

[rigid wagon]

finally lands in Act 3 cruel

[sour laurel]

Oh my mistake~, I didn't realize that your simple explanations required you to include snide comments. Clarifying questions is all that's required. As far as I see sorc is a elemental mage, can you hybridize into other classes to make a chaos build or something probably, is a new player going to be doing that probably not, like for me. But is this good is perfectly fine in a vacuum when it comes to a item like this are there any advantages to splitting up your elemental damage. and how can this item be used well?

[lunar solstice]

May I ask a question? In short...I want to know what options folks have found successful for generating Frenzy Charges for Lightning Spear (around level 40)

Currently I have Combat Frenzy (Support: The one that gives 50% chance for 2x Frenzy Charges) + Herald of Lightning (Supports: Electrocute + Neural Overload) - but this setup seems to only generate a frenzy charge once every couple of minutes (very inconsistent)

Do I need more Shock? Do I need more electrocute build up? Is there a better route for gaining charges? I'm just not sure which pathway to go down with this setup to improve on the frequency of frenzy charges actually triggering/being generated

[trim turret]

Any class can use any skill or item and much of the time, players leave no context, not even your implied context and could be asking about whether something completely useless is good for their build or if the item is worth anything in terms of ingame currency. So I respond bluntly, and accurately. There's no way for me to know if those gloves would be good for you just by knowing you're a sorceress. There may be something called trinity support, I don't know if it was added this patch, it was in POE1. It benefits from having multiple equal damage types.

[rigid wagon]

The headcannon bit in this game is that there's lots of theoretically good pathways to take, and the only real way to find out in practice is to try and find out. Sorryu my advice is not more help[ful

[trim turret]

I would definitely say if you aren't inflicting the status effects necessary to trigger combat frenzy you should improve their likelihood to occur. You should be shocking (I think it requires shock) pretty much every enemy you hit if that's your chosen avenue of gaining charges. There are some other methods depending on your build and whether you want to parry.

[lunar solstice]

That was my suspicion, that the chance to shock wasn't high enough. I can look for chance to shock on the skill tree but it seems the nodes are few/far between, but maybe I'm being too narrow...

Would you have thoughts/experiences with other ways of consistently generating frenzy charges you'd recommend? I've seen some creating unique setups - I could, for example, pick up those gloves Kitoko's Current, but that just help w/ the electrocution build up...

Could go 3 dragons helm and look to freeze w/ herald of ice but that feels strange

[trim turret]

Just having more lightning damage helps also. The more damage of a type you do, the more likely you are to inflict the status effect. I'm not sure on other methods off the top of my head, maybe there's more info on the wiki. I have a 9 month old so I'm barely playing.

[lunar solstice]

9 month old? oooof that's a busy sleepless time

[trim turret]

And a wife finishing her masters. But busy is good.

[lunar solstice]

This your first kiddo?

[lunar copper]

any good low lvl uniques for leveling a warrior?

[trim turret]

After much trial and tribulation, yep. We were whats called a geriatric pregnancy. To go back on topic, I feel like herald of thunder may not be best for electrocuting enemies. And I think combat frenzy does need electrocute, not shock. Herald effects already need to be activated by killing stuff. It would be smoother if you had a skill that basically electrocuted every time you hit.

This is where weapon swapping can be useful and it will be better when we can lock items to both weapon sets.

[trim turret]

Eh, nothing that's super necessary for warrior specifically. People like things that give them speed early. Wanderlust or Thrillsteel.

[coral quiver]

Fairley new to the game, been playing for about 3-4 days now or so. Looking for a group to play with to help me with the game and leanring the game when comes to gear and crafting, etc. Really wanna learn more about this game and need help

[trim turret]

#2┃looking-for-group or you can ask specific questions here. Something in particular confusing you?

[hardy rock]

Damage ignores 12k armour

[coral quiver]

just learning to upgrade gear and whats best and whast needed. also lookig for people to play with

[trim turret]

Generally you want to look for gear with max life and resistances, movement speed on boots, and relevant damage mods to your build on your weapon. If you're using attacks, the damage at the top of the weapon is often the most important stat, as many of the extra mods on the weapon are local and therefore folded into that nunber.

Don't ignore magic (blue) items, they can be solid.

[woven pelican]

how can i increase my single target dmg with lightning spear build?
i am in act3 i am easily zooming through areas but when bosses come my dmg is really lacking

[polar lance]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/ronarray-minion-lich?weaponSet=set1

all this build talks about is contagion essence drain beign the most important

but my skeleton archers do the most damage

insane damage compared to the 2 chaos skills

am i doing something wrong?

[coral quiver]

ok thanks, what chan is best for looking for a group to play with?

[trim turret]

The one I linked, #2┃looking-for-group

[trim turret]

Using a curse or a mark skill?

[woven pelican]

i am using sniper's mark with storm lance and exploding spear

[trim turret]

If you're accurately following the guide and monsters are dying, it's not a problem. It might just be the gear you're currently wearing or one gem is more leveled than the other.

[polar lance]

no i mean the contagion snowball affect is insane for clearing very good

its just for bosses flame wall and skeleton arrow skill doe huge damage in comparison to it

im just so confused

[trim turret]

Hard to say without seeing your character, maybe your weapon could use an upgrade?

[trim turret]

The build is probably designed that way. I think multiple gas clouds can overlap, whereas I think contagion is just one stack of its damage so it's better for clearing.

[polar lance]

why does he use cleric

if he has no minions

in the build?

[trim turret]

Well that's the endgame setup you're looking at and at the top of the guide he says the build is meant to get you to the point where you can run spectres, so maybe the clerics are placeholders for your spectres. This guide was likely created before 0.2 actually launched.

[polar lance]

idek what spectres are

i guess ill finish campaign for now

[trim turret]

A type of minion that lets you raise the ghost of any normal monster. You use a gem to store them like a pokeball and then can summon them.

If you're going to follow a guide, you should read the whole guide. Especially the text right at the top.

[polar lance]

its just even in the end game version he ditches all minion nodes on the tree

[trim turret]

People make builds. They aren't promised to be good I'm sorry to say. Id say stick with his leveling setup and see how far it takes you.

[trim cove]

heya just wondering, does bind spectre binds rare's traits too?

[polar lance]

his levelling seems fine,
its just i now realised this build is pretty much "yeh use this for campaign then do whatever you want after campaign"

i was hoping itd be a build i could follow till end game

since i cant make builds

[trim turret]

Then I'd say stick with the leveling portion. He said you can take that into maps. See if you can continue down that same path.

[coral quiver]

how do i get this in the passive tree???

just need points or?

[polar lance]

is the 4 seconds still considered in the respawn timer for the minions?

or does the respawn timer start after the last gasp effect

[timber egret]

question on the "Aggravate bleed when enemies enter your presence" affix:

Does this mean that if i proc a bleed while they're already in my presence that it should just automatically aggravate? i have this feeling that i'll need to take a few steps out first then come back in which seems..... dumb

[coral quiver]

from recent photo i posted, where do i get a jewel to put in the socket??

[lament stone]

theyre just random drops

[manic patio]

I am playing lighting spear build currently in act 3 and I have 4 uniques all the skill and support gems for the build so far I also have good strength and dex. Does anyone know why the build still feels weak.

[trim turret]

What build is recommending 4 uniques? Or you're just using them because you found them?

[manic patio]

Yeah

[trim turret]

Not sure, test it.

[trim turret]

Yeah to which one?

[manic patio]

Im using em because I found them

[lament stone]

unique does not mean good

[trim turret]

Uniques arent automatically good and many have downsides.

[lament stone]

what are those uniques doing to help you, if they arent doing anything to help you then you shouldnt use them
