[fringe rose]

and should i pick dawn of the hunt or the other one

[lament stone]

dawn of the hunt has the freshest economy

for a minion build witch is good, both infernalist and lich have good options available to support minions

[trim turret]

There are many ways across multiple classes to build minions.

[wise crag]

greetings, I am dense, new, and my loot filter pinged me for this.
What do I do with it? I assume its worth keeping cause my loot filter has been very correct so far in telling me whats good.

[meager galleon]

@wise crag green like that means its a crafting base

[lament stone]

chancing*

[meager galleon]

in case of stellar amulet, for using chance orb

there is a valuable unique for that amulet base

[wise crag]

ohh i see! What unique?

[meager galleon]

astramentis

there are 3 unique amulets of that base

but astramentis is the valuable one

[nimble fjord]

Where do I get the latest loot filter? It says mine is broken

[wise crag]

ah i see, ty!

[dire forum]

How do people get out the campaign do fast. Im like halfway act 1 and it took me over an hour

[azure lava]

Practice

Plus using leveling builds early on

A lot of people use a build that's strong early and then they respec to their "real" build later

Fast players manage items quickly, know the zone layouts, and don't kill unnecessary monsters

[atomic kernel]

anyone doing asendancy

[azure lava]

#2┃looking-for-group @atomic kernel

[dire forum]

tbh i feel like i need to kill a lot more and play a lot slower compared to poe1

[azure lava]

Yeah that's normal if you haven't run the campaign dozens of times

[brittle blade]

Good afternoon. I was wondering if I could get some help with my shader cache. It keeps spiking when I encounter a large number of mobs, causing my PC to freeze. I deleted the cache and increased the shader cache size in the NVIDIA Control Panel to 100 GB, but the problem still persists. For reference, I’m using a 5090 GPU and a 9800X3D CPU.

[queen heath]

I have the same problem

They need to optimize better their game

[trim turret]

We're at 0.2, a lot of the optimization hasn't happened yet.

[trim turret]

You want to let the cache build as you play. The lag is the game trying to load shaders that haven't been added to the cache yet.

[vivid thunder]

I'm fairly new and looking for someone who wants to help me get in to the game better. I've reached act 3, but would be nice with someone to play with and to learn more about the game
anyone up for a party?

[trim turret]

#2┃looking-for-group and we can answer specific questions in this channel.

[sleek dragon]

Use rake the first playthrough or actually follow a leveling guide? I’m doing chaos lich

[vale falcon]

Chaos lich with essence drain and contagion is easy to figure out. I wouldn't worry about making the right support gem choices or anything like that. Just experiment and learn what you can on your own. Then if/until you hit a wall check a guide. You'll retain and understand the information you read in the guide better that way

[wise crag]

Hi!
A bit of spoilers for the campaign so I spoiler btu I need a bit of help
||This part requires me to put a soul core into the stone altar - but no matter how much I try it wont budge. I can click hte altar and m character will walk to it, but it will not place the soul core inside. Ive tried portalling, dropping the core and picking it back up, right clicking the soul core - nothing works. What am I suppose to do here?||

[azure lava]

I might be mistaken, but that very first one might need two small soul cores? What does your quest log say?

[final geyser]

No, it only needs one

The area only drops one in the part of the zone before that door, and every altar or generator that requires a core only needs one.

[hybrid star]

oh that's the start of the area, I guess you can try drop that core and creating a new instance

[azure lava]

I think I've heard several people saying that the altars don't work even with a soul core in their inventory

[final geyser]

Some people do run into some kind of bug, but it's something that an area reset should resolve in most cases.

[dry siren]

Can you improve the unique strongboxes with exalts or something? Or you just click it?

[final geyser]

You may be able to use a Vaal or Divine Orb on it (haven't tested either, honestly), but generally you just click on them.

[dry siren]

So technically just like a unique

[final geyser]

Yes

[tranquil mason]

Could anyone tell me the most efficient way to level up? I’m in act 3 and currently level 33 but I don’t seem to level up anymore

[final geyser]

Just be at around the level of the zone and you should be fine. There's an XP penalty when you're too high or low level compared to the area level.

[tranquil mason]

What’s “around the level zone” specifically? I tried leveling in the list city for example and barely get anything

[lament stone]

within 3 levels

[kind crest]

Just show the large version of your map on your screen

in the top right corner it will show the monster level, you should be +/- 3 levels of that

[lament stone]

1 level below is the best

[tranquil mason]

Alr ty🤙

Ah and 1 more question, where do I get more of these ascension medallions? I got one from killing I certain boss which I forgot the name of but it disappeared after I completed the trial

[lament stone]

theyre just random drops

[tranquil mason]

Oh damn

[lament stone]

you get 1 quest token for each trial, after that you need random drops above specific levels to be able to get more points

[nova moss]

game b dedz

[tranquil mason]

Wym for each trial? I did the trial once and got the ascension

[lament stone]

trial of sekhemas and trial of chaos

[tranquil mason]

Oh how do I get the trial of chaos one?

[lament stone]

you find it and get the quest token in the chimeral wetlands zone

[tranquil mason]

Is that act 3?

[final geyser]

Kindly refrain from posting in here unless you're either looking for help as a new player or are trying to help someone else, this isn't the place for you to throw random nonsense.

[final geyser]

Yes

[lament stone]

yes

[tranquil mason]

Oh damn no good

Not good enough to do anything there yet

Hey I’d need some help again, I see many people in global asking for like 4tb ascendancy. If someone invites me, and kills the boss do I get all 8 skill points at once?

[azure lava]

Yes

[bold walrus]

How do I play around micro stuns? I swear to god I died like 10 times yesterday because I COULDNT DO ANYTHING! I got stunned to death a lot and it is really driving me crazy

[azure lava]

Stone charm, get more life on your gear (or from strength), get more stun threshold, or, if you're an energy shield build, get nodes that add a % of ES as stun threshold

Tho if you have enough energy shield to make those nodes worth it during the campaign I think you have a bigger problem (energy shield isn't very good early on)

[bold walrus]

doing CI ES 2k

[azure lava]

If you're getting stunned by physical damage, then armor may help, but I wouldn't go out of your way for it. Life + resists + movement speed are great in the campaign

[azure lava]

With CI your life is 1 which means your stun threshold is also 1

So you pretty much need some nearby nodes to get stun threshold from es

[bold walrus]

i'll look into ty

[azure lava]

Or don't go CI in the campaign

That's my top recommendation

[bold walrus]

im at endgame

just dindt found a channel

[azure lava]

Then you should be asking in #2┃after-acts-help

[bold walrus]

i cant access it

do i need roles?

[azure lava]

This channel assumes you've never beaten the campaign

Really?

Hm

[bold walrus]

yea

i'll reload discord

thats weird

[azure lava]

Yeah that channel should definitely be accessible to all

[wise crag]

What are hideouts and when/how do you unlock them?

[final geyser]

You unlock them in the endgame at the moment, though some are sold as MTX. They're basically an area that you can decorate to your liking and run endgame maps from.

[dire forum]

guys how do i turn this off

idk what i clicked but i did not want this

[azure lava]

The health/mana bars above your head are a setting in the options. No idea where the P1 came from

[half moon]

When a player receives damage with poison magnitude, are mitigations like armour or elemental resistances applied first lessening the poison magnitude? Or is it the same amount of poison no matter how much the damage was mitigated?

Take for example A3 Viper Lady dealing physical damage with poison magnitude vs a warrior with 2k armour.

[dusky burrow]

elemental resistances do nothing because it's chaos damage

but chaos resistance will mitigate the amount of damage you take from the poison (which is a debuff that deals damage over time)

and i believe armour would not work here, even if it mitigates the physical hit

because the poison magnitude is derived from the pre-mitigation damage of the hit (before armour)

[half moon]

Gotcha OK - I was asking about elemental resistance because sometimes a monster will poison but deal cold damage. Same principle.

So only chaos resistances affects the poison in the A3 Viper Lady example. But armour will still help mitigate the physical hits, but the poison is the same.

[dusky burrow]

they will? by default, you must deal physical damage or chaos damage to poison.

only chaos resistance will ever work because the poison magnitude is based off of the premitigation hit damage

even if the damage dealt is cold damage (and they have the "all damage from hits can contribute to poison magnitude" modifier or something) cold resistance doesnt matter because the poison still deals chaos damage

[half moon]

I just meant like if I was doing an expedition and had a modifier all hits contribute to poison magnitude, I assumed elemental damage hits would then contribute

[dusky burrow]

correct, but keep in mind it would still be only chaos resistance that would mitigate the poison.

[half moon]

For sure, you've shown me the way.

[warm glacier]

Is it important to click all of the dialogue options throughout the campaign? I always do, but I've heard them so many times now that I'm wondering if I can just skip them...

[hardy sun]

You can skip like 99% of it. There's only a few that requires interaction to progress

[feral stratus]

What's the resistance penalty in endgame factoring in the perma buffs you get?

[south sparrow]

-40

[feral stratus]

Even after maps or only campaign?

[south sparrow]

As far as I know you just loose -60 in campaign and +20 perma

Could lose more later, not sure.

[feral stratus]

Aight ty

[bitter ingot]

When sword comings?

[dusky burrow]

[autumn ivy]

Hello is someone willing to help me kill Count Geonor?

[balmy tiger]

is it possible to migrate a standard league character to dawn of the hunt?
i dont care if i loose all stash items. i just want to not have to re-level this class.

[trim turret]

No. Always a fresh start. Its typical to play new characters every league.

[trim turret]

Get some cold res and make sure your weapon is as up to date as possible.

[balmy tiger]

ooooof every class re-level every league. thats a bit much for me...

[trim turret]

Who says you have to re-level every class?

[balmy tiger]

well any class you want to play

[trim turret]

The whole point of a fresh league is to try a new build with new league content in a fresh economy.

[balmy tiger]

you can try new builds with a already leveled character.

just as someone with less time than others seems like a bit much :/

[trim turret]

In POE builds take shape long before endgame and it isnt always easy to switch.

Plus, the league mechanics are usually big enough that its worth it. And in POE1 people hit endgame in less than 12 hours, out of a three month league.

[balmy tiger]

takes me WAY longer than that to run the campaign twice.

[trim turret]

POE2 is definitely slower so far. But we dont know how that will change once we get the rest of the campaign and classes, balance changes, they just did an interview this week where they said theyre looking at ways to make character movement faster, etc.

[balmy tiger]

i guess i get the logic. i just personally would prefer not having to level every character.
i get the reasoning. its just not my preference.

[trim turret]

Can always play standard. Just explaining why most of the player base doesn't.

I've played something like 3700 hours in POE1 and I've never played the same build twice.

[cold wigeon]

Dude I'm level 95, i've been doing T15 maps and bosses for a bunch of hours and I just checked the campaign acts underground and found out I'm missing skillbooks

What the shit

How do I make absolutely sure that I don't miss any of these things

[autumn ivy]

can i buy weapons from anywhere else that isnt clearfell in the first act?

this boss is tuff man 😔 i cant wait to beat Jamanra in act 2

[trim turret]

No, but vendors reset when you level. Can also try the gambling vendor if you have gold, and you should be using cheap currencies like transmutes and augments to make items better. Your weapon is also only one part of the equation.

[autumn ivy]

alrighty thank you for the tips i shall try that

[trim turret]

Just knowing the acts and content and checking the map/quest screen. There are 24 weapon set points total so if you're less than that you're missing a book.

[trim turret]

What build are you playing?

[cold wigeon]

Where do I see the set points? They just look like regular levels to me

[autumn ivy]

Frost Sorceress build

[trim turret]

Passive screen, top right.

[trim turret]

Ok so you want spell damage, cast speed, +# to levels of your skills on your weapons. That's what you're looking for. Make sure your support gems are really benefitting your damage and that your skills synergize with each other.

[autumn ivy]

are there any repercussions for leveling up too high? I think i am already 1-2 levels over the Count Geonor

[cold wigeon]

I see, I'm at 24, but on the map screen it looks like there's a skull with a cross below it

Which means there's an upgrade

[trim turret]

You just get less xp the farther you are away from the area level.

[autumn ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/kowalski-noted-penguins-penguins-of-madagascar-gif-1306663699157096677

[trim turret]

There might be a display bug. If you have 24 points you've done them.

[autumn ivy]

makes sense so minimal, thank you again, may both sides of your pillow be cold

[trim turret]

Appreciate that seeing as I'm about to crash. Don't be afraid to experiment with stuff. I've changed around a few support gems and moved a couple passive points and its made a big difference before. Don't hesitate to use runes and artificers orbs also.

[cold wigeon]

ah disappointing

[trim turret]

And you have 100 spirit before all your gear right? The campaign should give 100.

[autumn ivy]

ayo ofc.

And yeah thanks, i was afraid of using runes and orbs since i have a bit of a hoarder and scarcity mindset in games like these. Ill try my best after fwood

[trim turret]

You get higher tiers of them as you progress, no reason to save the lower ones.

Good luck.

[cold wigeon]

Yeah, but I see in Act 3 cruel there's a boss underground

called blackjaw, on the same level where you fight the big vaal tentacle construct

I think it has a fire res upgrade

[trim turret]

He does drop that. Go kill him then.

If youre level 95 you could have already done it by now.

[cold wigeon]

That's like getting an unexpected birthday present after spending so much time trying to optimize this character

[trim turret]

Gonna take you like 4 seconds.

[cold wigeon]

I've been missing extra fire res this whole time

[trim turret]

You get 20% of the three elemental resists total from the campaign.

[cold wigeon]

Doesn't it also lower your base resist as you progress too?

Yeah I got it

[oak wraith]

[brisk kestrel]

Can you skip molten vault or is it necessary?

[lament stone]

in normal act 3 it unlocks the reforging bench, but you can always come back later

in cruel act 3 you can skip it

but if youre failing to kill the boss in time it may be an indicator that your damage is low

[fringe rose]

why do i deal so little damage as a huntress

can someone pls help

[lament stone]

are you upgrading your skill gems? adding support gems to them? keeping your weapon up to date?

[trim turret]

There are a lot of factors to that. Skills, supports, passives, gear.

[fringe rose]

what should i do like im lost as hell

[toxic arch]

Is campaign zones auto scaled or same as in poe1 have specific ilvl?

[lament stone]

campaign zones have specific levels

[fringe rose]

yes i support and everything i think

[trim turret]

There isnt one way to do it. That's the idea. Are you using skills that synergize with each other? Support gems that improve their damage and functionality? Are you looking for weapons with better damage?

[fringe rose]

im mostly using lightning spear and barrage for dps and its says that its about 80 but still bosses like take very little damage from the attacks

[lament stone]

how are you generating frenzy charges for lightning spear?

[fringe rose]

cull the weak

or disengade

[lament stone]

which doesnt work on bosses

parry + disengage is what youre gonna want to use on bosses

whats your weapon like?

[fringe rose]

should i like send a ss or smt

[lament stone]

yea thats fine

[lament stone]

tbh it probably is just that lightning spear sucks before you get volt support (t2 support, starts dropping after level 35)

[fringe rose]

lightning spears dps is about 80

[lament stone]

your weapon looks fine for hunting grounds

you might even just be overestimating what your damage should look like at that point

[fringe rose]

well im not in hunting ground the boss im strugling with is the wolf one from the manor

[lament stone]

you probably shouldve found a weapon upgrade by that point

[fringe rose]

but i kinda didnt

[lament stone]

you checked vendors?

[fringe rose]

that wepon is from vendors

[lament stone]

you should also be picking up relevant weapon types (in this case spears) and transmute+augmenting them if you really need an upgrade

lightning spear also isnt very good against bosses

[fringe rose]

tha hell is transmute

[lament stone]

transmutation orb

[trim turret]

Salvage items with sockets/quality, sell or disenchant items you pick up but won't use. Crafting currencies are important for improving items and you can use gold at the gambling vendor.

What spirit skill are you using?

[final geyser]

The game features a number of items called currency items: Transmutation Orbs, Regal Orbs, Orbs of Alchemy and so on. These items all can be used on items to change or improve them in some way.
A Transmutation Orb, for instance, will upgrade a Normal item to a Magic item, adding an affix onto the item.

[last crest]

Hey, anyone know how do i get more gem slot for this? thats from Merc Asc

i only have 2 slots

[dusky burrow]

level up

there's breakpoints

[last crest]

so, just by playing? thx

[vestal bough]

lesser jeweler orb gives you third slot, greater jeweler orb gives you fourth slot and perfect jeweler orb gives you fifth slot.

[lament stone]

except for ascendancy skills and skills granted by items

sorcery ward is a skill granted by an ascendancy, you get more sockets by levelling up your character, iirc the breakpoints are 35, 65 and 90

[last crest]

Yes thats correct

[frozen igloo]

whats the easiest way to obtain uniques in ssf? and i need them to be higher than lvl 40

[marble trench]

target strongboxes in your atlas and maps IMO

while leveling i dont really know of a good way

you're mostly at the will of RNG til you can start cruising

[surreal frost]

I'm interested in the quad tab bundle for 500 points. Is it ever on sale?

[surreal frost]

Wait. The bundle of 4 quad tabs costs MORE than buying 4 individually? Am I seeing this right?

https://prnt.sc/5El-6fBIpP7J

[south sparrow]

No. Both are on sale and quad is 4x single.

[surreal frost]

Are you sure the bundle of 4x quad stash tabs is on sale?

[south sparrow]

stash tab bundle is slightly higher space per cost

yes 120 from 150

[surreal frost]

The BUNDLE

[south sparrow]

yes premium bundle is 165 from 200

[surreal frost]

https://prnt.sc/-xyEjjbcmdqh

[south sparrow]

Oh, yeah maybe quad tab bundle isn't

[surreal frost]

120 x 4 = 480, which makes buying 4 separately cheaper than the bundle.

[south sparrow]

yeah

[surreal frost]

That's a mean trick they are trying to pull. I didn't fall for it, but it's easy since you would assume a bundle is cheaper. That's the whole point to how bundles are supposed to work.

[south sparrow]

Well, I guess since it's always cheaper, they figured that's low enough

[surreal frost]

The regular and premium tab bundles ARE on sale.

[south sparrow]

and the 6x bundle

Nice, the only thing elemental weakness currently does to me is lower fire to 70%.

[late raft]

This company thrives on taking advantage of people

[dusky burrow]

i think they just mathed bad

[keen wing]

is there a way to exactly see where all of my resistances are coming from, i cant remember all of the little perma buffs, i want to know what numbers i should try and be at by endgame compared to where im at now

[meager galleon]

not ingame, but should be able to if you import your char into path of building

[spice pagoda]

Perma res buffs are just 2x10% for each elemental res and maybe the one bit of chaos res from venom crypts if you picked it

[torn lava]

estimately when will be poe 2 will be out of early access

[keen wing]

how come some numbers from my gear arent an option in path of building? like my boots have +14 armour and +7 evasion rating but thats not on the slider for path of building

[pale skiff]

I just ran into an issue like this first time, I've started Rake Amazon build for the first time, got to level 30, was going smooth and nice all up to the point of Act 2 boss, he just obliterates me. Up to this point I had no issues with damage what so ever. Any tips? I tried leveling a bit more in that zone, got to 33, got osme gear upgrades, didn't feel it too much in terms of damage.

[meager galleon]

we might not have all the modifiers info yet, so pob might just be lacking data

[meager galleon]

all thats been said, afaik, is that they want to release sometime between june and end of year

[shrewd pulsar]

Are you talking about the boss that is on the moving cart thingy?

If you are I try the same thing I don’t know for some reason I feel like I didn’t do enough dmg and also can’t tank too many hit I try bunch of stuff didn’t work so I just wrap over to a lighting spear build and it somehow work so I don’t know I could also just have skill issues

[keen wing]

theres no easy way to get my character imported to pob is there, manually entering everything cant be the easiest way?

[meager galleon]

there is import

[final geyser]

Last time Jonathan was asked, he stated that they're aiming for December to March as the release date.

[keen wing]

can i import from poe2 directly?

[meager galleon]

if you are using the pob for poe2, yeah

you just authorize with poe and it will offer you your chars

[keen wing]

omg i found it

thank you

❤️

[meager galleon]

oh okay, good to know, i missed that they moved the window to basically q1 2026

makes sense

[keen wing]

i didnt see the authorise button so i was trying to figure out how to import from poe2 to maxroll then ot pob and just confused tf out of myself

[shrewd pulsar]

Guys I want to start a SSF character but I don’t know what I should be doing, what I have in plans is just started as witch and somehow make it into lightning wraps blood mage

[meager galleon]

not sure what to tell you there, acts are pretty much the same for me on ssf or trade, cos i dont trade until i hit endgame anyway ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shrewd pulsar]

I watch like a bunch of guides leveling witch build but I just can’t seem to be doing enough dmg and I also think I just can’t get weapons upgrades well

[meager galleon]

with spells your dmg is more dependant on the skill levels than gear

cos the base dmg of spells is in the skill directly and scales with level

[shrewd pulsar]

I usually try to keep them up to level

[meager galleon]

unlike attack skills, where you use your weapons base dmg

[shrewd pulsar]

Well to be honest I don’t know I currently have a lightning spear huntress that is doing okay but i think I might need a better weapon soon but crafting it or gambling for it I just don’t got the resources to do it

[pseudo adder]

What the hell? Just tried poe1 on steamdeck, its super smooth

Didnt expect that since poe2 on steamdeck was choking my deck even on starting area lol

[daring dragon]

Incase you expected a response, this is a beginner help channel for poe2, for chit chat around poe1 or poe2 I recommend #2┃general or #1┃general

[trim turret]

POE2 is visually much more advanced than POE1 and has not received the same decade worth of optimization.

[final geyser]

Rather, even with a decade of further optimization, a more graphically advanced game is going to be more troublesome to run than a less graphically advanced one. Many textures, assets, skill effects and so on (especially in the acts) in PoE1 are many years old, some dating back to 2011 or so.

[balmy tiger]

hey i saw a vod 4 months old saying bleed aggravation does not work and showing evidence of it.
does anyone know if this has been fixed since? or would building around aggravating not work still?

[lament stone]

were they showing this on a stationary enemy?

[balmy tiger]

yah they showed on a stationary enemy that the uniques that are supposed to make them agrevate do not.

and then showed without the uniques but making them walk that it does work

[lament stone]

what unique?

[balmy tiger]

if interested its here:

actually here is with the relivant time
https://youtu.be/b1klo9gpJCI?si=erluWwHUteovXXNI&t=935

a little before that he shows with the moving boss instead of uniques.

Apron of Emiran Hermit Garb
Beetlebite Velour Shoes
are the two he tried if i caught the names correctly

it is 4 months old though.
and i have seen other posts with people complaining about it but they are all old as well.

so im not sure if its fixed by now or not.

[lament stone]

at the time of that video, damage dealt to energy shield did not affect bleed magnitude at all

so only a very small amount of damage was actually hitting the life on the enemy, so he got a very small bleed which probably wouldnt look too different in terms of damage number

i dont see anything that suggests aggravated bleeding was ever bugged

[balmy tiger]

aggravated does double damage. even with small damage double is very obvious.
i dont see how you think that but whatever

[azure lava]

I think that youtuber has misread beetlebite

inflicting a bleed on an enemy that's already within your presence wouldn't do anything, based on my interpretation

you would need to inflict the bleed and then the enemy would have to, at some point, not be in your presence and then be within your presence

or else it would read, "bleeding on enemies within your presence are aggravated" or something of that nature

oh, they were also using the apron

[hidden steppe]

hello friends. whats the best HC ranged build?? i saw most ppl play smith but i wanted a ranged option!

[azure lava]

First off, you can play smith as a ranged build if you want to.
Second, can you define "best"?
Third, can you define "ranged"?

[hidden steppe]

o yeah oops and i was just trying to find some options for anything that could deal dmg from medium-far distance and tanky so that i could go through HC

[azure lava]

If those are your only criteria, it's gonna be a very long list lmao.

Personally, I can recommend:
-Incinerate Pathfinder
-Cold Spell Chrono/Stormweaver/Blood Mage
-Chaos DoT Chronomancer
-Artillery Ballista Gemling/Smith/Tactician

(Artillery Ballista Smith is what Ziz used on his first HC character in 0.2, I think)

So not only can Smith do ranged, it's proven to have a very strong one in artillery ballista

[hidden steppe]

thank you! ill look into these 🙂

[balmy tiger]

he tried with Apron of Emiran Hermit Garb as well. and it did not have the when they enter clause.

[azure lava]

Yeah, without further testing I can't say for sure it's a bug. There is a lot of variance with hit size. I also don't know if they have a random chance to aggravate bleeds elsewhere and that procced on the "control" test

[balmy tiger]

each time they did multiple to account for that type of variance and even left out crits but whatever.

i cant find any forum posts, bug reports, patch notes or whatever on any bug related to aggravated bleed or the apron unique and aggravated bleeding is definitely working right now, its a core part of a current ignite build

this is the only change to bleeding that ive been able to find from the last 4 months

|| What am I supposed to do during the gas section of balbalas fight? No matter what I do she always kills me, and is invulnerable during that time. I just always die with no hopes of hitting her or escaping||

[final geyser]

She always teleports to the outer edge of the arena, you can vaguely hear where she moves from her voice line - audio is directional there - I believe there's a vague sillhouette you can look for, or just run around the edge until you spot her. Once you do, getting close to her will end the phase.

How come it won't let me set an Ingenuity gem in my Blink skill? It lets me set it in other skills. This is my only Ingenuity gem, BTW.

[meager galleon]

not all supports can support all skills, in this case it seems that interaction is intentionally disabled, cos blink does have cooldown so in theory ingenuity should work

so must be intentional

[surreal frost]

But a recently made guide suggested that gem. The wiki I use also suggests it on the Blink page. I'm probably doing something wrong.

[meager galleon]

hmmm

[surreal frost]

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

[meager galleon]

hmm even the game offers it

thats weird

[final geyser]

It should work, but sometimes skills can break a bit. It could be one such case.

[surreal frost]

https://prnt.sc/3f4HZhL8gXQ5
It doesn't show up here either.

[surreal frost]

I watched a YouTube video and they showed how you can alternate between Blink and Shield Charge, but it looks like that has since been patched. They share the same cooldown now. Maybe GGG also patched it recently to not allow the Ingenuity gem to work in Blink.

I guess they really don't like the idea of having good or fun mobility in the game. Maybe the ultra expensive Temporalis chest piece is the only way to reduce the cooldown? But you would still have to wait a couple seconds in between uses.

[final geyser]

It should still work, the thing with Blink and Shield Charge is just that both are now considered Travel skills.

It seems like an odd bug to me, both poe2db and the wiki list Ingenuity as a support that should work.

As for mobility in general, it is a powerful defensive and offensive tool, so giving too much of it would just trivialise most encounters, so balancing it makes sense.

[cerulean zephyr]

this is a bug, ingenuity should be able to support blink (and does work correctly on a blank character). something about your specific scenario has caused it to bug out.

is blink only active in one of your weapon sets by any chance? I don't have any solid information here, just guessing on what could be wrong

[surreal frost]

https://prnt.sc/QFza6dOqCIZY
It doesn't even give me the option to set it to one weapon set.

Oh. I can set that somewhere else. I had it set to both weapons.

I tried every combination of which weapons it works for, and it never lets me equip the gem.

[cerulean zephyr]

if you have the time and the inclination could you please submit a bug report on the forums? mentioning what character this is happening to?

[surreal frost]

Sure

[cerulean zephyr]

thank you!

[surreal frost]

Sadly, it also affects Second Wind, another cooldown related gem.

The game really doesn't want me to have good mobility.

I used to rake cancel everywhere except town

[pale folio]

This phys damage mod is just void on this spear, right?

[weary osprey]

yep

[final geyser]

Unless you get a source of flat Physical damage as another mod, yes

It does often feel like one of those mods that just shouldn't spawn at all, like how elemental Staves don't roll certain affixes for other elements (so, no Cold Spell Skill Level on a Firebolt Staff)

[fast shadow]

in act 3, i got the sacrificial heart, got to the altar, the dagger wasnt there, cleared and went on to act 1 cruel, heart is gone, i go back in the past , the heart is on the altar, still no dagger. any solution cuz this is dumb af if i just lost 2 points...

it shows as if i completed it but i know i didnt. since im stuck at 10/12 points for normal.

[south sparrow]

Is it possible you missed a different quest?

[fast shadow]

considering i was never able to stab the heart, no

i had 10 before the heart, i am at 10 after the heart was "stabbed" (which sure as fk wasnt done by me. but the game says it was.)

imma go try something rq.

i know for a fact i never stabbed the heart. but just noticed something in act 2 that also doesnt line up.

it's 12 for normal and 12 for cruel right?

welp. i somehow have 12 now so...fuck it i guess?

make sure your weapon is up to date with good damage on it if youre an attack based build, for a spell based build you want + level of spells and spell damage

hey guys when im leveling bloodmage w/ rake, do i upgrade my rake skill gem? or just leave it at 3

[trim turret]

What makes you think you should leave it at level 3?

[solemn sinew]

Hi, I'm currently following a build for deadeye lightning shot, https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/lightning-spear-huntress-perragaming#passive-tree-0, I'm currently in act 2 (lvl 22) and it takes forever to kill things, I know I'm at the start of the game, the items are not that good, but I still feel like I should be doing more damage, should I start with different skills and swap later? if this is the case which skills would be better?

[lament stone]

how are you generating frenzy charges?

theres 2 things you need to make lightning spear good, frenzy charges and volt support

[solemn sinew]

I don't think I am getting any frenzy yet, also don't have access to volt yet

[lament stone]

id recommend rake + stomping ground until you can get t2 support gems at the start of act 3, unless you trade for a t2 support gem

you can use parry + disengage to generate frenzy charges for now

or cull the weak if youre mobbing

[meager galleon]

later on there are ways to get them more automatically

but early on its one of those 2 methods

[trim turret]

Also what's your weapon look like? And yeah you really need to be generating frenzies.

[solemn sinew]

I'll try using the parry, see how it goes, thank you

Anyone here willing to play hardcore

[surreal frost]

The F1 key toggles the PC performance graphs? That's cool. But what does the F4 key do? When I press it, it makes a click sound, but doesn't actually do anything.

One thing I discovered is that you can use the F4 key to instantly close any NPC windows. If you press the standard cancel button, it can take multiple presses to close it, along with accidentally using a skill set to that button.

Are there any other uses?

[meager galleon]

you can check in the bindings, i know there is a binding for close all windows

maybe its by default f4

[surreal frost]

Where is that option?

[meager galleon]

somewhere in options

[surreal frost]

And I wonder if the option doesn't even show up for controller users. Because I went through all options when I first got the game.

[real solstice]

Help topek is blocked 😦

[surreal frost]

If I switch to keyboard, there are indeed more and different options, including Close All User Interface, but this key seems to act the same as ESC. You have to press it multiple times to close out of NPC windows when they are telling a story.

I don't know what's behind the controller F4 key instantly closing the NPC windows in one press, but I like it.

[final geyser]

That's because the dialogue has several separate windows that open after one another, so closing one just causes the next one to pop up.

[surreal frost]

Maybe this is an advantage for controller

I kept accidentally blinking when closing NPC windows because it varies in how many button presses you need to close it, depending on if or how long they talk.

I ended up having to move Blink to another button, which could be a problem if I need another button for an attack skill. So now that I can instantly close it with a single F4 press, it solves the problem.

It's also just faster and better to press one button to close it. It was annoying to have to press it multiple times to close before.

I will add F4 to my controller and use it like that. Not actually gonna reach over to use the keyboard.

I figured it out. I installed the Sidekick app and it does the /leave chat shortcut when you press F4. It's supposed to be for quickly leaving a party, but it also instantly closes NPC windows, but only in controller mode.

[surreal frost]

Looks like any chat command done through Sidekick with controller will do it. It doesn't matter what it says.

Correction: Any chat command done through Sidekick will also randomly open the menu, which makes this idea not worth doing.

However, if you leave the command area blank, then it will exit out of NPC dialogue in a single button press, and never randomly open the menu, so this'll work.

hi so, i played poe2 and gotten around the first few stages but it got hard incredibly quick, so i quit. i want to learn how to play but it seems very different and difficult from poe1, i feel so lost despite looking up what builds to follow. any help?

[trim turret]

Well, the question is what build were you/are you trying to follow? Are you doing low damage or dying a lot? A lot of the knowledge of POE1 carries over.

[craggy gyro]

lol initially i wasn't following a build, i thought it was easy enough for me to wing it, but it's not.. i don't remember if it was low damage or dying alot

[trim turret]

I mean its dependent on what you want to do, but basically make sure youre prioritizing life and resists on non-weapon gear, attacks scale off the damage on your weapon (spells dont) so you want to pay attention to things like that, use skills that synergize with each other and read things thoroughly. Many skills get huge bonuses under certain conditions. Falling thunder by itself is weak. Falling thunder when you have power charges clears screens.

Salvage items with quality or sockets. Disenchant or sell other items you wont use. Check vendors. Use your runes that drop, dont hoard them. Don't be afraid to use blue items if they have stats you need instead of a rare that has ones you don't.

[craggy gyro]

im currently on a level 3 huntress in the new league. is there a path u can guide me from here?

[trim turret]

Find a league starter build guide on maxroll and try one of those. There isn't like a single path I can tell you to take with a class.

[craggy gyro]

iok thanks

[trim turret]

I will say that many spear skills benefit greatly from frenzy charges and you have tools to generate frenzy charges. POE2 is more combo oriented than POE1.

Above my level

[visual sundial]

I got help from my end game friend

[trim turret]

You wont gain XP. You can't power level like that.

[visual sundial]

What should I do then

[trim turret]

Kill things in areas close to your level. It isnt Diablo where you rush to 70 and then choose a build. Character leveling matters.

[visual sundial]

Is there a range ?

[trim turret]

Within 2-3 levels is best.

[visual sundial]

Can my friend level me up within range?

[trim turret]

If theyre in the zone with you and youre staying close together it should be possible.

If you're a new player you dont want to power level anyway. You end up with a high level character and dont know what to do with it.

[hybrid crow]

how long will the current season still go?

[spice pagoda]

Likely 2 months but no official confirmation yet as far as I know

thats not a build you can level with

[nimble fjord]

sigh, I regret going lich

Thanks

[lament stone]

i cant tell what problems youre specifically having without seeing your character tho

but im wondering if youve taken chaos innoculation

[nimble fjord]

not yet, but like you said it's probably not for leveling

[lament stone]

which is already a bad idea with low energy shield, but its instant death if you take soulless form without taking eternal life

you can level with something else like essence drain+contagion on lich and swap into that later

[nimble fjord]

Thats the one I found

[lament stone]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/essence-drain-lich-build-guide

this is a good ed guide

maxroll guides are a lot more detailed but theres less guides on there, mobalytics is good for more outside the box guides but you might find theres less information, you have to be more active in figuring out exactly what you might need to do to get the build working for you

[real solstice]

Do you have a, bleed max roll?

[vale sigil]

for the chaos trials can i take my rewards as i go or do i take them after i beat the trial? also do i have to complete all 10 rounds to get my points?

[vestal bough]

yes and yes

[spice pagoda]

You get the round rewards when the trial ends, but not if you die. If you're going for third ascendancy, then you'll need to do all 10 rounds, but lower ascendancies can be done in trials with fewer rounds

If you're doing fourth ascendancy, then you have to do 10 rounds + the trialmaster, which takes the three Fate fragments

[azure lava]

Every round you have the choice to take on the next room or leave with your current rewards. Unless you've completed the entire trial, you cannot get your rewards without abandoning the trial

I cannot figure out why i cant use blasphemy with despair. If i use enfeeble everything works just fine.
I have 93 spirit, 33 from chest.
I use blasphemy on weapon 1, withering touch on both, and convalescense on weapon 2.
If i try to use blasphemy on both and let the others be off, the issue persists.
Despair is lvl 10, but lvl 9 also doesnt work, so its not the gem being higher than blasphemy.
What am i doing wrong?

A:
The curse skill gem needs to have the same weapon slot selections as blasphemy

[azure lava]

Does one of your weapons give int that you need to use blasphemy/despair? If you hover over those gems while socketeted, do they show any errors or red text?

@elder hinge

Oh, you answered your own question already

My b

What a weird interaction. TIL

[elder hinge]

Might be intentional so you can have 2 curses socketed in the same blasphemy and swap with weapon sets between them

But the tooltip should definitely state something like "Socketed curse is not active for weapon set"

I wonder if the same thing happens with cast on skill gems

[surreal frost]

@elder hinge If it's not letting you socket gems that it's supposed to allow, try switching to keyboard. For some reason, if you are set to controller, it has extra restrictions on what gems are supported.

Smith doesn't necessarily need to use armour. Smith has insane resistances

And they get the ability to take some phys as fire which helps a bunch.

smith with block is pretty insane even armor is pretty good

[grave geyser]

apart from smith of katava i would say lich you can have big damage reduction because of its ascedancy that allows life to be unchanged when you have es so items/passives that make damage bypass energy sheild just give you reduced damage and also lich scales es very high

you can sit in stuff when you a lich LOL

These seems like a #2┃after-acts-help question but there are also way too many factors in build creation to answer that.

[woeful kelp]

is it a glitch that im in trials of sekhama without fighting balbala?

[trim turret]

Probably not a glitch as long as you had a Djinn Barya.

[covert trout]

Anyone able to help me with the ogham manor? Can't beat the wolf

[mild spruce]

Do you still need help?

[covert trout]

Yes

[mild spruce]

IGN?

[covert trout]

What's yours I don't know how to look mine up?

[mild spruce]

SerayneBlackThorn. Press C, and it says your charter name at the top.

[covert trout]

Thanks again. We were stuck on him

[mild spruce]

all the end of act bosses are hard as hell good luck with act 2

[covert trout]

Thanks. I appreciate it

[lavish talon]

I was told to look at item tiers to estimate their quality, but these t9 boots seem rediculously low?

[final geyser]

They've inverted Tiers in the latest update, so the best Tier for an item affix is T1

[lavish talon]

oh I see

tx

[lavish talon]

is it possible for a vaal orb to do NOTHING to the item?

been trying the vaal orb on skill gems to get the 4th socket but so far I've had

• minus 1 socket
• minus 1 socket
• minus 1 socket
• +1 skilll level
• nothing?

[final geyser]

The wiki has a list of Corruption outcomes, doing nothing is one of them: https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Corrupted#Corruption_outcomes

[lavish talon]

thanks again. Guess I'm low rolling it a bit

[swift trellis]

You life saver, thanks for the info

[swift trellis]

What are item filters? And why should or shouldn’t i use them?

[paper tinsel]

Does anyone have kitavas thirst helmet i could give 5 chaos orbs

[final geyser]

No trading in this server, you can always use the trade site if you want to purchase an item: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2

[elder ember]

for highlighting important drops, and hiding the most common useless drops

[twilit kayak]

Why I cant change ascendancy after rerun the trial???

[lament stone]

you need to do a trial which would award you your current number of points, and you need to unspec all points in your ascendancy to be able to change it

you cant do a 1 floor trial of sekhemas if you have 4 ascendancy points, you would need to do a 2 floor sekhemas or a 7 round ultimatum

if you had 8 points you would need to do a 4 floor sekhemas or a trialmaster ultimatum

[lone pendant]

Where’s the button to reset all passive points? Don’t see it

[topaz junco]

Don’t think there is one

[lament stone]

if its your first time logging into a 0.1 character since the 0.2 update the button is hidden behind the text box that tells you if youre missing attributes

there isnt a way to reset all passives at once outside of that

[final geyser]

I see both of you have missed this in the patch notes

[lament stone]

i didnt realise that update was out yet

[topaz junco]

I didn’t read patch notes

[final geyser]

It's been out for two days

Anyway, presumably it's the same button as when you get a free passive tree reset, but requires you to have enough Gold. If you don't see it, you probably don't have enough to use it.

[lament stone]

did they drop patch notes for both games on the same day?

anyway depending on your level that gold cost to reset your entire tree could be into the millions

[final geyser]

Within a few hours of one another, iirc

[bold mantle]

bitching time, i was playing blind, tried witch, saw that third of skill are chaos based, oh definitely acenden will have one chaos based, after 12h of playing do the trial and nothing like i expected, fire? blood? where my chaos? wtf what do i do now

[trim turret]

The point of ascendancies is to have options, not "Im playing chaos so I HAVE to take this ascendancy." Many people are playing a Lich with chaos skills.

Not a trade server.

[bold mantle]

lich has nothing that help chaos tho no?

[shut abyss]

i think that was the point

[trim turret]

Well, firstly, it does. With cursed enemies exploding as chaos damage and unholy might. Second, the point of the ascendancy isnt to say "this one is for minions, this one is for chaos, etc." But to have general buffs that apply to many different types of builds. The Lich node that lets you socket an extra jewel and get increased effect from that jewel can be huge for any number of builds. As can the ability to not lose life while you have energy shield.

[bold mantle]

i guess what i wanted to say that its not designed for chaos, did not fit my expectation and im disappointed

[trim turret]

If you're looking for an ascendancy that entirely fits one type of damage or build in that way, you're going to continue to be disappointed. But that sort of freedom is also how we end up with crossbow wielding warriors and spellcasting rangers and that is what keeps people playing for thousands of hours.

[shut abyss]

unholy might and extra jewel on steroids sounds pretty strong

[trim turret]

It is. He just doesn't know any better or was expecting EVERY node to be related to chaos damage somehow.

And that's just not the POE way.

[open geyser]

Which is better on a companion, Hinder Aura or Temporal bubble?

[slim tangle]

How hard is the ascendant trial?

[trim turret]

Try it and find out.

Can't really answer that.

Some people have a hard time, some people breeze through.

[slim tangle]

I just got to act 3 and I noticed it was in act 2

But it seemed like it was separate from campaign

[trim turret]

Can also wait and do the act 3 trial which will give you all four points at once.

Its not separate. Its how you unlock your subclass.

[slim tangle]

Can you change subclass later?

I haven't decided between lich and infernalist

[trim turret]

Yes, with certain limitations.

[slim tangle]

For minions

[trim turret]

Thats for POE1.

[steep roost]

oh fuck

was it about poe2?

sorry

wrong channel

xdd

[trim turret]

For POE2 you need to run a trial at the same level of ascendancy you have unlocked, and you need to refund all your points before you click on the altar at the end. Which you can do at Balbala at the end.

[honest venture]

why are the support gems different on each page here even if they're compatible with the other skills?

is it just a suggestion or something?

y'know what i answered my own question

[final geyser]

Yep, by default the game shows you their 'Recommended' supports, though it should be noted that most find the recommendations to not be ideal for the given skill. It's mostly there to just reduce the amount of information thrown at you when you first use an Uncut Support Gem and give some suggestions.

[fluid bough]

hi, new in game 8hrs in

[twin terrace]

How do I make charged staff fire the projectiles in an AoE around me

[rough quail]

Want to make a new character and go through the campaign. What items are there to help speed run the campaign?

[trim turret]

Wanderlust and gold rim are two of the big ones.

[trim turret]

Might be salvo support or an item. Not sure off the top of my head.

[quartz crow]

theres unique staff that fires spells around in circle like wildshard supp

[trim turret]

I forgot they brought sire of shards back.

[lone mason]

Any one willing to help me with a boss in the campaign? I’ve done okay solo so far but the boss hit me like a truck. Tips, help killing or anything would be much appreciated

[hybrid star]

#2┃looking-for-group

[lone mason]

Oh sorry thought I was in that chat sorry

[hybrid star]

but ehh stating your problems and try to fix them might benefit you in the long run

[lone mason]

Can I say boss names? I don’t want to spoil v

[hybrid star]

yes

[lone mason]

I’m on huntress, lvl 32 act 2 what id assume is the final boss. I haven’t had much trouble with anything else. I’m on jamanra and I just don’t do any damage, and he one shots with nearly everything.

I’ve killed all side bosses, and all side activities, I’m brand new to Poe games so it might just be a skill issue

[hybrid star]

he does a lot of lightning damage so getting lightning resistance helps

[lone mason]

It’s sitting at 20 rn so that might be the issue

[hybrid star]

yeah you could put some lightning resistance runes on your gears

don't hesitate to use runes you will find better ones later

and what skills ur using and what your spear looks like

[lone mason]

I’m using lightning spear, primal strikes, snipers mark, storm lance, barrage, and herald of darkness. Spear is pretty good I believe

Little low level but decent stats I believe. Haven’t found a better one

[hybrid star]

you can try gambling for one maybe

[lone mason]

How do I do that?

[hybrid star]

in one of the npcs

I think it's the one near the entrance to the desert map room

try to look for one with bigger of these numbers up top

[lone pendant]

for the asendancies do i need to have the key as well or does only my friend do for my to also get the points as well?

[hybrid star]

just need 1 key

[hardy schooner]

I can TP out of trial of sekh to sell and come back right?

[fossil tiger]

Hello guys!
Just a quick question, I complete the Una's quest in Act 1 (DOTH), my inventory was full so I didn't get the book... Do you know how to get it ?

[final geyser]

You should be able to claim it from her after getting enough space in your inventory, just talk to her again and select the option to get the reward, not sure what the exact wording of the option will be.

[fossil tiger]

I restart the game and I got nothing... I'll send you a screen shot

Anyway my bad... THe option was greyed but it's ok !
thank's for the help !!

[lone rock]

Hey guys! I am lv25 and made some mistakes in my passive tree. Hooded one is charging 10k gold for 1 passive point respec. Is there a way to reduce the cost? I only have 25k gold

[trim turret]

That doesn't sound right. For one node? That sounds like a full respec.

[lone rock]

Will send pic

[proud kettle]

I can give you gear to sell if you need

[lone rock]

I would love that!!

Ty so much

[proud kettle]

No worries, add Bonkerizer

[lone rock]

I will!!

[trim turret]

Again, there's no way it should cost 10k to refund a single node on your tree.

Especially not at level 25.

[placid tide]

is it possible to add aura toggles to your hotbar

i.e. i hit "T" to turn herald of ice on and off

[hidden steppe]

my friends, if im leveling with rake on an alt, do i need tangletongue before i swap to LS or can i just do it as soon as i get enough crit stuff

[wild notch]

hey do i automatically jump into dawn of the hunt if i make a new toon?

[trim turret]

You need to select it instead of standard. It may default to it.

[wild notch]

ah cool it did it looks like

thanks!

[trim turret]

No, but you can enable it for specific weapon sets.

Why do you want to toggle things like that anyway?

[finite lantern]

Hi, how many times do i have to complete the campaign before endgame? im halfway through the second time, really hoping i dont have to do it all again a third time?

[final geyser]

No, only twice, and Cruel is a placeholder for the eventual Acts 4 through 6 that will be added by full release.

So eventually, you'll only ever need to do each act once per character.

[finite lantern]

Thanks, so right now if i want to make a new character i have to do the whole campaign 2x times again?

[final geyser]

If you want to get to endgame, yes.

[hidden steppe]

does rake work with skill speed and attack speed too?

[cursive oasis]

Hi i really need help with a mini boss at the gold monkey thing plz

My ign is Tomzy44dt

Mount vault is wee im at

Plz anyone i really need help....

[trim turret]

Its an attack and a skill. Both should apply.

[cursive oasis]

Ov been trying to kill this boss for about 6 hours

[trim turret]

Then you should do some farming or adjust your build. There's nothing that should take that long. #2┃looking-for-group or we can tell you how to improve your build.

[cursive oasis]

@trim turret did farmimg and drop absolutely crap always crap gr, next question?

This game never guve you good gr or weapon ect it's absolutely crap worst game of a century, last season was better

[trim turret]

Are you using runes? Disenchanting and salvaging items? Checking the vendors, both regular and the gambler? What does your tree look like? What stats are you prioritizing on gear? What skills and supports are you running?

[trim turret]

Then don't play. Its a help channel. Not a complaining channel. People are willing to help.

[cursive oasis]

I aint complaint, im fucking mad that this game gives fuck all and all I want is to kill thia boss and it's to letting me, iv tryed all sorts of stuff and nothing has worked so im at a big wall.

@trim turret so this is my tree

That the stats ects i cant get it better than that not got the gr or rings to get the dex and in up like i said earlier iv been grinding for gear for about 2 days straight and havnt found nothing

[trim turret]

Do you have runes socketed? What does your weapon look like? What skill are you primarily using to deal damage?

[cursive oasis]

Personally I would love to have more lighting but nothing is dropping

[trim turret]

None of that looks particularly bad. Dunno maybe just try #2┃looking-for-group for a carry or come back to it later. Depending on the skill you also want more physical damage than elemental on your weapon.

[cursive oasis]

If I had alot of elemental damage than I could kill it

Physical damage isn't any good

It might hit hard but not good to get his helf down alot

Health

[trim turret]

...that's not how it works. Lightning arrow and lightning rod both convert the physical damage from your weapon to lightning, so you want as much physical on your weapon as possible.

[cursive oasis]

Ha never knew that i thought physical and elemental are differnt and work different, well they are but in this game they play a part for both which is so strange

[trim turret]

Read your skill text closely. On the skill gems.

[proud kettle]

How good is your quiver?

[cursive oasis]

Well on lighting rod it says it converts 40% of physical damage to lightning what does that even mean

[proud kettle]

It is kinda lacking in damage, both quiver and your bow, what's your IGN?

[trim turret]

Exactly what it says. Its an attack, so it uses your weapon. So it takes the physical damage from your weapon and converts it to lightning.

[cursive oasis]

@trim turret oh i see

[trim turret]

So you might be able to check vendors for a bow with a better physical roll. %46 increased physical damage (which is applied to the base damage numbers of the weapon) isn't too hard to beat.

[cursive oasis]

Well I don't have any money

Ehault not dropping

[trim turret]

You can sell unwanted gear for gold.

What is the red support gem on lightning rod?

Are you using orb of storms to shock/electrocute?

[cursive oasis]

Primal armament

Orb of storms i have font mana

Im allowing a guild on a build at the moment

[trim turret]

Link it.

[cursive oasis]

Lightning Spear - PoE 2 Ranger Build Guide
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/lightning-spear-huntress-perragaming

[trim turret]

That looks totally different from what you're doing.

[cursive oasis]

Well the tree is the same but not got the gr

[trim turret]

Skills arent interchangeable. You can't take a tree and apply it to an entirely different set of gems and expect the same output.

[cursive oasis]

Well, obviously it's a working progress

[trim turret]

Do you have spare skill/support gems?

[cursive oasis]

Like i have 3 spaces left

[trim turret]

No, like uncut gems so you can start making the skills for that build and actually follow it?

[cursive oasis]

Not alot, I need to be level 50? For the rhoa mount and then I need another 30 spirit for the ghost dance then the volt mark

Well got volt mark now

So i only need 2 more now, rhoa mount and ghost dance

[trim turret]

Which is part of the bossing setup and well past where you are.

You should be using the leveling setup.

[cursive oasis]

There isn't a leveling set up on it, not what I cant see

Or am I missing something

[trim turret]

There's a whole section as soon as you open the link that says "build variants" and there's Leveling, Bossing, and Endgame.

[cursive oasis]

Lol oh so the build I was following is for endgame, and when I click on the link for leveling it shows a completely new build guild

[trim turret]

Yes, builds often change drastically as they progress and more tools become available.

[twin terrace]

I see a lot of people do 1 life with a ton energy shield on some characters, can anyone explain why and how

[trim turret]

Chaos Innoculation. Keystone passive on the tree. Makes you immune to chaos damage but reduces your life to 1. Builds that use it usually convert over to it sometime in endgame.

[twin terrace]

So that means no need for life flask

[glossy python]

hey, are item tiers the lower the better now? trying to reconfigure my Filter

like, is there a tier 1 or is 1 the baseline and it goes up from there?

[dusky burrow]

t1 is the best

[glossy python]

I should say: not modifier tiers but unidentified item tiers

[dusky burrow]

oh for that higher number is still better

[glossy python]

ok, so they still work the same

[lean pilot]

What is this? I don't know why but these two skills (removed skill) just appeared when I switched gear and they're not going away

nvm they updated when I clicked on them (the little arrow thing on the left)

[worldly roost]

!ping

!pings

[desert sedge]

By default, people are notified for both PoE 1 and PoE 2.

To customize your pings and channels, either:

• Go to or #rules-and-info and double-press the :bell: icon to remove the the All-Notifications role or
• Go to id:customize and toggle your answer for the "Ping me for both games " question to enabled, then disabled.

Either of these will remove the (formerly) default role and instead you can select either the Path of Exile 1 or Path of Exile 2 roles you want. If you want neither, go to the #rules-and-info channel instead of onboarding and you can remove both as well. This may cause some channels to disappear, you can re-add them in id:customize and use 'Show all channels'

[kind pond]

i just got rid of one intellect node and it got rid of like 8 points. why is that?

[craggy gyro]

what is twink leveling? there's a build i wanted to follow but i guess i need pre-farmed items to do it..

[hybrid star]

yeah that's twink, leveling 2nd character using strong early unique items you bought with the money you farmed from your 1st character

but what build is that

[craggy gyro]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/twink-lightning-arrow-deadeye-leveling-guide

is there a build i can follow that isn't twink leveling

[hybrid star]

select leveling in the build guide page, and maybe choose a class you like

wait hold on

maxroll doesn't have a leveling ranger guide? 👀

[craggy gyro]

do you know which

ok so i've seen people play a bit and they use this fast lightning thing to get around the map quickly

do you know which that is?

[hybrid star]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/fubgun-deadeye-leveling
you can check this one out

[craggy gyro]

how do i take back my skill tree points

[hybrid star]

have you unlocked the hooded one npc?

[craggy gyro]

im not sure

[hybrid star]

he's first seen hanging in the Grelwood but you will have to defeat Lachlahn in the cemetery a few areas after

to unlock him and the ability to redo your points

but ig you only have a few points allowcated just leave them and respec them later

[craggy gyro]

fuck that shit im deleting poe2

[hybrid star]

[craggy gyro]

kidding...

im just going to make another character, but the same class. just going to follow the guide you sent me then

i followed the twink leveling, not realizing

[hybrid star]

good luck

[craggy gyro]

this is like

probably the 4th or 5th time i've started a new character

it's so... difficult i guess? BUT THE PATHWAY TO WHATS MOST REAL IS THROUGH THE HARDEST THINGS YOU CAN DO

@hybrid star is there anything worth buying in the stash shop

or with my golden coins

[hybrid star]

currency stash tab, waystone tab, premium tab (use for trading)

stash tabs go on sales every 3 weeks

the next sale is in 9 days

[craggy gyro]

ok cool

[slim kite]

Is tactician bait?

[urban mason]

so uhh how exactly do i do poe1 style stuff as many minions as possible and dont do any attacking myself at all

im trying to make that since thats my preferred playstyle

[twin terrace]

At Utzaal rn and really struggling with survival as a Monk

Should I be looking for more armor or just go with evasion

[trim turret]

Life and resistances are your priority no matter your class.

[trim turret]

By getting gear with spirit on it. Spirit is the resource used to summon minions. You get 100 throughout the campaign and can get more on gear and there are many minions to choose from. Temporary ones that don't reserve spirit also. Witch starts with minions but of course you can play them on any class.

[twin terrace]

How can I fix this

[trim turret]

That doesn't look that bad. Maybe get more strength if you can for more life, if you're wearing evasion/energy shield hybrid gear, take some nodes to sustain energy shield better while in combat, make sure all of your gear has sockets with runes giving you life/resists. Do you need 131 dex?

If you're in act 3 and past the initial jungle areas shouldn't you have more than 30 spirit? Using a defensive spirit skill can be helpful.

Like Wind Dancer.

[twin terrace]

Which boss do I need to beat to get more spirit

Investing into energy shield is a good idea?

[trim turret]

The witch in the bog.

[trim turret]

Depends on the build. I know a lot of monks run hybrid evasion and energy shield but its a choice. Its probably fine to go pure evasion if you want.

[deft forum]

can anyone help me with the abomination?

[trim turret]

#2┃looking-for-group or we can give advice.

[deft forum]

should i change this up for a witch build

[trim turret]

What's a "witch build?" First thing you should do is fix the negative resistances.

[deft forum]

gotcha and the character i mean is a witch i pretty much put most skill points towards minions

[trim turret]

Minion builds are fine. There are many ways to build all classes. But all of them need life and resistances or they die very easy. Use your runes and make sure you're prioritizing life and resistances on gear.

[south sparrow]

You need to enter the next floor before you portal back.

Yes, as long as you have not just completed a floor you can portal back. Even after you finish any room.

[trim turret]

You probably shouldn't need to be making THAT many runs back to town anyway.

[vale sigil]

At what point do lvl 2 support gems drop im lvl 36 act 3 just beat the soul core laser boss and havent gotten any

[grizzled palm]

You'll probably start getting them soon

I thought act 3 was about when they started to drop

[pure thistle]

does the skin transfer item only apply to MTX or can you use it on regular armors?

[covert trout]

Can anyone help with Azarian act 2?

[slow rapids]

is there a way to only attack with weapon set 1 on some skills like poe 2? or do i have to manually swap

[hybrid star]

"like poe2?" you are in a poe2 channel

[slow rapids]

mb

[final geyser]

Skin Transfer specifically applied by using it on a regular item, then transferring the MTX onto the item you want to apply it to. Regular MTX Armour doesn't use the Skin Transfer system at all, applying in the Cosmetics UI instead.

[hidden steppe]

hi guys can orb of chance fail and just break my item? i just used it and my item dissapeared

[trim turret]

Read the orb. 50/50 chance to roll or destroy.

[hidden steppe]

damn ok ty i used so fast

[neon robin]

Question: did the dev give out better buff on player's stat with good unique item? I don't think I would survive killing a boss.

[trim turret]

If you're asking if uniques are automatically good, the answer is no. You aren't supposed to use a bunch of uniques.

Uniques do something specific and you need to figure out if you need that for your build.

[neon robin]

the Unique dropped like 1 unit on act 1. it was unusable but I was talking about generally that rare items keeping me alive.

[trim turret]

Yes, that's how its supposed to be. You should be running mostly rares.

[neon robin]

during my horrendous first day walk through? I couldn't even beat the act 1 boss. let alone the bosses after that except people helping me online.

[hidden steppe]

hi guys trying to farm a good beast for tame beast skill. how do i reset the rare with the checkpoint? its not working for me

[neon robin]

Ah, so the launch patch was horrendous with only blue uncommon items or zero drops?

[trim turret]

Well no, that's a different question entirely. Blue items can be fine for a long time if they have stats you need. Two good stats on a magic item is better than four bad ones on a rare.

[final geyser]

Just sounds like you had bad RNG, but also, magic items with 2 good mods are also plenty for early campaign, and definitely more valuable than rares with bad mods.

[hybrid star]

@final geyser uhh

[wild notch]

what would some good support gems for ice strike be? i have martial tempo and the rage one

but i also know there's one that repeats the last strike in a chain or something, that seems cool?

[trim turret]

Depends on your overall build and what you need ice strike to be. There are a lot of options.

You get plenty of uncut support gems as you go so experiment some.

[wild notch]

right now in act 1 i'm just uh, trying to beat the act lmao

[raven junco]

troubled camp act 3 bugged?

[trim turret]

Then whatever let's you kill stuff. I used combo support gems in addition to damage gems so I could drop the bell more often. Thats just one way of doing it.

[trim turret]

Howso?

[raven junco]

well i got to the camp twice and opened the chest or a rock or whatever that is...and the thing is not completed on the map...

[trim turret]

Its a repeatable spot and some of them have vendors, they stay lit up.

[raven junco]

thx for the clarification

[final geyser]

But also, it doesn't really matter whether it's done on the map, if you got the reward then you're good to proceed.

[vestal shuttle]

hey guys i started yesterday for the first time POE and im having a blast im following a guide that says that i have to have itens to have this links how do i get the right links? What do i have to grind and it is worthit?

Im on act 2 already too

[final geyser]

You're looking for https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/509514642826199063

[vestal shuttle]

thx didint saw the Path of exile 2

[tribal nest]

Aight bro we get it

Said wallpaper btw

[final geyser]

I think you're in the wrong channel

[hybrid egret]

can anyone help me and tell me if i can run the game with stable 60 fps based on my specs ?

[final geyser]

If you list your specs, I'm sure there would be someone with similar specs that could report their experience with the game.

[hybrid egret]

yeah sure

i have a gtx1660 and a ryzen 7 2700x and i was wandering if i could get stable 60 fps with medium settings

[final geyser]

Both of those are relatively close to the minimum settings listed on the Steam page, so I wouldn't be too optimistic about it, I'm afraid.

[hybrid egret]

yeah thats what i thought too

thanks tho

[wild notch]

so wait

if ice strike converts 80% of phys to ice and if i buy a staff that only does lightning damage

ice strike will do no damage, is that correct?

[final geyser]

No, it will still do damage, it just won't convert anything to Cold damage

Since, if you deal no Physical damage, there's nothing to convert.

[wild notch]

huh

so is this a way to make ice strike a lightning skill then?

staff in question btw

[final geyser]

Incidentally, the increased Phys damage there does nothing

[wild notch]

yeah i figured lmao

[final geyser]

But sure, it would be a way to deal primarily Lightning damage with Ice Strike if you wanted to.

[wild notch]

huh, ok

well thanks, gonna get the staff since it's a pure damage increase anyway

and it doesn't cost that much

[final geyser]

Just be aware that you won't be able to Freeze enemies with any Attacks that got their Cold damage from conversion, since you need to deal Cold damage for that, or to have something that makes another damage type contribute to Freeze Buildup.

[wild notch]

ohhhhhhhhh right

thanks!

[mental ferry]

anyone need any boss help?

does the herald of plague and contagious contamination ascendancy node work together? sorry i couldn't find a definitive answer online

||did i just go through the entire valley of the titans only to be told "no" because i don't have the second part of the amulet and i need to get it from the other zone||

[trim turret]

The main quest is also there. And the waypoint is usually right next to where you need to go for that side quest.

[trim turret]

It doesn't matter as long as you're electrocuting enemies.

[wild notch]

i guess i missed the main quest lmao

time to redo the area i guess

[wild notch]

god damn valley of the titans is kicking my ass, those liches combined with the giants are just hell

[trim turret]

Well its all part of the horn quest. It tells you to go there.

[hollow cosmos]

how i can do map lvl 82
i have been trying find Map area +1 from corruption/ cleansed but using map tier 16 alwasy keep show only 80?
its bug or what?

[twin terrace]

Is there anything I can do to make trials of chaos easier? I'm lvl47 with around 30-40% resistances and almost 1k life and still getting one shot

[trim turret]

What other defensive layers do you have? Armor/Evasion? Running a defensive spirit skill?

[twin terrace]

This and the only other thing I got was wind dancer

[trim turret]

Yeah so no physical mitigation so when you do miss the evade, you get hit like a train.

Depends what's killing you but more life and resists are always good, there may be nodes on the tree that are "take % of physical damage as fire/lightning/etc."

[queen heath]

Why don't I have 60% lightning resistance in total, if I have 30% on my body armour, and 30% on my boots ?

[trim turret]

You take a penalty for every act you complete, and there are 2x 10% permanent buffs from optional events in the campaign.

[queen heath]

If I take off all of my stuff, how much res should I have if I haven't missed any permanent buff ?

[trim turret]

At the end of the acts? -40% I believe.

[queen heath]

So after finishing cruel campaign, if you take off all of your stuff, you should have -40% res on fire, cold, and lightning?

[lament stone]

yes

[queen heath]

Why do I have 5% fire, 5% lightning, -5% cold, and 10% chaos

That's without any stuff

Ok that was a bug, no idea why it was displayed like that

I have -35% fire and lightning, -45% cold, and 10% chaos

Have I missed something?

[lament stone]

theres a notable on the tree that gives 5% ele res, and it looks like you missed one of the bosses in clearfell

either act 1 or cruel act 1

[queen heath]

Oh ok so 1 boss gives me more res in act 1

Can I go to him now or is it lost on this character

[trim turret]

You can always go back.

[queen heath]

Ok thanks

Thank you for the tip just gained 10 cold res

Are the tooltips completely bugged or something?

It's displaying nonsense on my resistances

Oh ok it depends on the zone I'm in... I didn't know

[trim turret]

Certain buffs dont apply in town and it may adjust the penalties depending on the act you're in.

[vagrant harness]

whens the leauge ending

[trim turret]

We dont have a date but the guess is in August.

[thick tree]

Can someone help me with act1 cruel ?

[trim turret]

What about it?

[thick tree]

I’m a new player and would like some help

[trim turret]

We dont do carries here. You can try #2┃looking-for-group or we can give you advice and answer questions. By cruel your build should be up and running and you should be rolling. If you're dying a lot check your life and resistances.

[twin terrace]

So what exactly does corrupting an item with vaal orb accomplish

[gloomy cargo]

Random effect

Sometimes good sometimes bad
