whats the best leveling build for sorc?

[wraith field]

Yop, I cannot find the entrance of Sekhemas in ACT2C. I defeated the Djinn and got the quest but nothing shows up in the map.

I do not recall how I did it in ACT2, if I found an entrance or ported there...

Do I need a 60+ Barya to unlock accessing it in Cruel or am I missing something?

[final geyser]

You should have an icon on the right of the world map UI to travel there if you've been in the Trial before. However, there's no separate Trials for Cruel, and there shouldn't even be a quest for it in Cruel, it's bugged and can't be completed.

[wraith field]

ho ok so the quest for looting the Barya in Cruel is misleading. However, I am in ACT2C and I can see the port on the right hand side for Chaos but not for Sekhema.

[queen heath]

When you travel to trials of chaos you don't have as much resistances penalty as when you go to your hideout. Does that mean you can fight trialmaster with naturally buffed resistances ?

[final geyser]

Resistance penalty is generally handled based on the level of the zone. The initial Trial of Chaos room, where you put in the Ultimatum, is in Act 3, so it will show the Act 3 values. When you enter and are at a higher area level, it should still have the same penalty as you'd expect.

[queen heath]

Hm ok makes sense. Never checked it, but then trials lvl 80 have the normal res penalties?

[final geyser]

They should have the same penalty as maps, yes.

[wild notch]

is there a way to remove the automatic dash to a targeted enemy on skills?

it keeps killing me in the act 2 boss fight

||the wind starts and i hide to kill the little mobs but my character just goes "nah" and dashes for the boss||

on controller btw

ok i might've found it, attack in place under skill settings

let's hope it works 🤞

it did not work

i still auto dash to the boss during the sandstorm ughhhhhhhhhhh

[final geyser]

What skill are you using, and are you able to target the smaller enemies manually? Btw, if I'm not mistaken, that phase is just on a timer, so if you're able to survive long enough the sandstorm will clear.

[wild notch]

Ice strike, the problem with surviving is that the small enemies explode if you don't kill them.

I can't really target them manually, you just sort of point the stick in a direction and hope it hits.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1h8la1n/how_does_targeting_work_on_controller/

Might try this when the servers are back up.

Also regardless of the targeting issue the boss is kicking my ASS lmao I thought Geonor was hard.

[split dew]

Can someone help?

[lament stone]

have you completed a map using the map device in the ziggurat?

[hoary zenith]

Is it bad that I should've picked stun buildups instead of more melee damage?

[trim turret]

What do you mean? Like youre following a guide and took the wrong nodes?

[hoary zenith]

Nah thought stun buildup would help me since I'm using a two handed mace as my main weapon for a fire build

[trim turret]

I mean, it can help you. All depends on your specific build. Those couple small nodes arent a big deal and you can easily respec them during act 1.

[hoary zenith]

Ah nice then

[tight sleet]

Can you really farm volcanic fissure of snaking in normal labs cause my rng rn is terrible 😂?

[trim turret]

Thats a #1┃new-player-in-campaign-help question but farming it that early is gonna suck. Better to trade for it or wait until the third lab where you have the chance of getting the font option that gives a transfigured version of the same gem back instead of just the same color.

[worn hull]

if i have 4 acendancy points how do i go about resetting my acensancy? do i do it through the chaos trials or the sekkehma trials? (however you spell it)

[rocky barn]

Weird question that doesn't really fall under any channel, but if a private league is based on Dawn of The Hunt, are you allowed to drop your characters into Dawn of the Hunt when it's over or do they go into Standard instead?

[rocky barn]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/respec-ascendancy - you have to do it through a trial that would have given the same number of points. For 4 points, theoretically a Chaos Trial of any level would do the trick if I understand this guide right

[worn hull]

[tawny jewel]

Hello, I play POE1 very little some years ago, a friend of mine give me POE2 as a present in January and I play like 20 hours and I have to stop for exams.

I use a Necromancer Witch in my first run and I can’t defeat the final boss of act 1. I create a monk and it has very power Attack but a low defense and I can’t beat that boss.

Now I want to play POE2 this summer, is there any build that is easy to do great for rookies?
I’m still triying to learn a lot of things of the game, is a lot of information.

[unreal spade]

hello, i need help boss act 1

[unreal spade]

no one to help ?

[marble trench]

if you need help killing it #2┃looking-for-group , if you need help with mechanics feel free to ask

[deft temple]

I can help if still needed

[polar gazelle]

for the final boss in act1 try to get some items with cold resistance that helps a little also if you struggle with bosses sometimes just getting a few more level ups helps too, or better gear if possible

[tawny jewel]

I did It and can’t win with a Lv 18 witch. I’ve just start Dawn of the hunt

[polar gazelle]

the act1 boss pretty much requires learning his movement i feel like the best way is just trying a lot or do you feel like you don’t do any dmg to him?

[trim turret]

Being a monk has nothing to do with how much "defense" you have. Every class can do damage and have survivability.

[low oasis]

how do i remove a point from my passive tree sorry

[trim turret]

Unlock the NPC in act 1 and talk to him.

[craggy gyro]

i dont see this support gem on the skill

it's on the normal attack, but not the skill. do i still follow through ?

[final geyser]

Untick the Recommended Gems toggle at the bottom

The recommended gems aren't the full list of supports that can be applied onto the skill, just a limited selection meant to make the list slightly less overwhelming for a new player.

[craggy gyro]

oh ok thanks

[drowsy fjord]

how do i get to the other boss?

[final geyser]

If that's in the Hunting Grounds, you can generally find most encounters just by going around the outer sides. Assuming that's Crowbell's icon, you will find a set of wooden gates, just go through and to the end.

[nocturne geyser]

I have reached act 3 but since reaching the way point in the temple of solace I no longer seem to do any damage

[trim turret]

Would need more info to help with that. Depends on your skills, what gear youre using, etc. Are you using attacks? Attacks scale from your weapon. So the more damage on your weapon the better.

[queen heath]

If my companion poisons a boss (boss hp bar becomes green), does that mean I cannot inflict other ailments like freeze on it ?

[trim turret]

No, ailments are separate from one another. The only things that you can't easily stack are like heavy stun, freeze, electrocute, because theyre all crowd control effects that lock enemies in place.

[torn mason]

Yes turns out it was a node I had selected wrongly but thanks for the reply

[queen heath]

How do you consume frenzy charges ? Do you need a skill that says in the tooltip it uses frenzy charges or are they consumed for more damage with just normal skills ?

[final geyser]

You either need a skill that consumes them, or a support gem or some other effect that would cause a skill to consume a Frenzy Charge.

For instance, all thrown Spear skills will consume a Frenzy Charge to have some additional effect, and a few Bow skills like Spiral Volley will also consume Frenzy Charges.

[queen heath]

[vernal stone]

best builds for poe2 right now?

[trim turret]

#2┃looking-for-group but this server isnt used for carry services/trading.

[trim turret]

Best at what? What kind of build are you looking for?

[vernal stone]

just in general for now. since last time i checked in IIRC lightningspear amazon did crush everything

[trim turret]

That hasn't really changed. But you can check maxroll and maybe mobalyatics for some decent builds.

[vernal stone]

i just saw on poeninja that there are mainly deadeyes and amazon, so was curious if thats just the top1% or if its the same for everyone

[trim turret]

I dunno I dont rely on ninja outside of item prices since it often shows off characters with builds and gear unattainable for new players and I like to do my own builds.

[vernal stone]

And did the trading improve in the last few months? I remember stopping to play, cause it was impossible to even buy 1 decent gear on console

[trim turret]

Improve how? There will be more people playing the current league so your odds of finding people to trade are better there, but there are no guarantees.

[half moon]

If I skip the campaign trial of sekhmas and do the trial of chaos in A3 will I get 2 or 4 ascendancy points?

[trim turret]

Should get 4.

[lament stone]

only if it isnt the quest version of the trial of chaos

or any 4 round trial of chaos

it has to be at least a 7 round trial of chaos to get 4 points, and those dont drop until level 50+

[half moon]

Ah, so the quest one is special

[final geyser]

I tested it, you get 2 points from the quest one, and it should be 2 from a normal one, as well.

The way it works is that there are 4 sets of points in total, completing 4 rooms of Chaos gives you one set, you'd need to complete 7 rooms for the second one.

[hoary zenith]

What does this even do?

[lament stone]

forked spear can be chanced into a valuable unique so white bases are highlighted like that

[hoary zenith]

How do I do that?

[lament stone]

using a chance orb

[craggy gyro]

how to get herald of thunder gem

how does infused weapon from amazon work? do i need to activate it somehow because i am not getting charges

[craggy gyro]

uncut spirit gem

[craggy gyro]

ohhhh i have ones that is uncut skill gem. do i get spirit gems from killing monsters

[trim turret]

You need to generate and consume charges. Like frenzy charges on the huntress and consume them with almost any spear skill..

[craggy gyro]

yes, they will drop eventually

[trim turret]

There's a guaranteed one along with your first bit of spirit in act 1.

[craggy gyro]

so basically i need to have snipers mark with coc to generate charges, cuz frenzy doesn't generate until i freeze a target but i can't freeze until i proc infused weapon

ok cool. and im following this build https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/fubgun-deadeye-leveling?weaponSet=set1&widgets-state=eyJmN2Q4MjEwMi03ZTc3LTRhNDQtYWQyNC0zM2I2N2U4YWU3YmYiOnsiZmlsdGVycyI6eyJhY3RpdmVWYXJpYW50SWQiOiI1MDgxNDNmYy1lNzdmLTQ2YzgtOWM2MC04OTZjYWJmYTY4YTEifSwidHlwZW5hbWUiOiJOZ2ZEb2N1bWVudENtV2lkZ2V0Q29udGVudFZhcmlhbnRzVjEifX0

how do i get what ok so do i need a shield instead of the quiver arrows and what does the green and pink mean on skill tree

[trim turret]

Huntress also has frenzy charge skills and you can get them from parrying.

[craggy gyro]

can't parry, slows my attacks if i use a shield so i just went with empty off hand

messy build 🥹

[trim turret]

Just telling you options.

[trim turret]

Get gear off the ground and from vendors. The colored passives on the tree are likely weapon set specific points.

[craggy gyro]

this build is so complicated..

[trim turret]

What's confusing you?

[half moon]

is there a cut off (My Level - Monster Level) where I start getting diminished experience?

[lament stone]

yes, i dont think anyone knows exactly what it is yet

but its best to stay within 3 levels

[half moon]

Oy! I've been 5 below

[trim turret]

Geonor? How is your cold res?

[craggy gyro]

oh

0%

[trim turret]

Life and resists are the most important stats on non-weapon gear.

Runes can help, check vendors, sometimes the jewelry vendor sells sapphire rings.

Also why do you have zero spirit?

[craggy gyro]

i dont know

i dont know what that mean

[trim turret]

And actually even the optional boss in the first zone after the town gives a cold res upgrade.

You asked about herald of thunder earlier and we explained it's from a spirit gem and I told you thay you get spirit and a spirit gem in act 1.

You need to look at your world map and do the permanent upgrades you've missed.

[craggy gyro]

can you explain further

[trim turret]

Which part?

[craggy gyro]

this

but for herald of thunddr

it's like the uncut skill gem, but it just says spirit

like its same thing?

and i bought saphire stone

[trim turret]

Spirit is a resource. Spirit gems are skills that reserve some of it. You get both from a boss in act 1. Look at your quest screen/world map, you'll see icons in the zones you've been to that indicate bosses and encounters you can do. It seems like you've skipped a lot of them. And you shouldn't. They give passive points, permanent resistance upgrades, and in Freythorn, your first 30 Spirit and an uncut spirit gem.

[craggy gyro]

like these skulls

and chests

?

[trim turret]

Yes. The plus symbols are permanent upgrades.

So you've managed to avoid basically all of them.

You get the boss in the manor that gives a life bonus?

[craggy gyro]

lmao

[craggy gyro]

probably not. i dont think so

[trim turret]

Well there ya go. Kill all of them. Get and use their quest items.

[craggy gyro]

oh wait

THESE LMFAO

i thought they were quest items. i thought i had to give them to npc

i didnt know i could use them

[trim turret]

Read them.

[craggy gyro]

i thought it was like poe1

[trim turret]

Do you have any more?

[craggy gyro]

i just had 3. need to do more on the map

[trim turret]

Do them for sure

[craggy gyro]

i have herald of thunder now and i put it in my socket. its not showing up in my buttons

[trim turret]

Right click it in the skill menu. It doesn't go in your skillbar because it isnt a skill you activate frequently, its either on or off.

[sage onyx]

So I am returning after a rather long hiatus (I mean there's a new season out and all)
Trying to restart from scratch, but I'm always bad at builds etc and economy.
What do I do with items I am not using? Is it better to disenchant? Or sell for gold? 🤔

[sage onyx]

Also, what should I be trying to craft early on as a sorc?

[trim turret]

That depends on your specific build. You should salvage items with sockets or quality, and sell or disenchant gear you pick up but wont use. Resistances and life are the most important stats on non-weapon gear.

Use runes to fill in gaps for things like resists.

[sage onyx]

Not sure what my build is XD I'm just leveling and have no idea what I am looking for.

[boreal tulip]

can't go wrong with life/energy shield.

are you playing with or without minions?

[boreal tulip]

early on disenchanting is better (everything sells for shit). later on you can determine if the gold is worth it to you or not.

[trim turret]

Well, if youre using fire spells, spell damage, fire damage, + level to fire spells, cast speed, etc. Just as an example.

[sage onyx]

Odd, just watching this vid for some guidance 🤔
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJhuzXLTIK8

And he seemingly can use a scepter at his offhand for spirit? But when I do that, the spirit goes away when I switch to my main weapon

Scrap that, I've not noticed that he swapped to a wand

#1┃new-player-in-campaign-help

[lament stone]

@harsh moth the desert runes are gain damage as extra meaning they add up all your current damage and add 12% of that number as extra fire damage, which is 12% more damage (aassuming you have no other sources of gain as extra)
the iron runes are increased damage meaning they add up with all your other sources of increased damage to increase your base spell damage

so which one is better depends on how much of each stat you already have

[sage onyx]

Didn't I have the ability at some point to combine similar flasks to a bigger one? 🤔

[topaz root]

Leveling process is very slow in this game

[lament stone]

there is an exp penalty for being too high or low level compared to the enemies youre fighting

its safest to stay within 3 levels

[topaz root]

If i am lvl20 i am fighting enemies who are either of same level or one level higher than me but yet it feels the levelling exp is not rewarding enough as compared to Diablo 4.

[lament stone]

poe2 is designed to be a much slower game

for the campaign at least

[barren sedge]

is it worth swapping to poe2 if i didnt finish poe 1 ?

They're two very different games and both are totally playable. Its also pretty much impossible to "finish" one of these games, unless you mean the campaign, which is a very small portion of them.

I'm looking to buy premium stash Tabs but the site keeps taking me back to POE 1 shop....

Any idea how to fix?

[lament stone]

the mtx are shared across both games so theres only a need for 1 site

[final geyser]

You can also purchase ingame, without going to the website. There isn't currently a specific MTX purchase page for the PoE2 website.

[final geyser]

Technically, not all MTX will be, and they may want to have a separate store for stuff that only lists PoE2 stuff (including anything the PoE1 store can't list due to them only being for PoE2, like eventual Bear form MTX).

[lament stone]

yea that will probably happen eventually

currently the watchlist covers both games tho, and buying poe2 stash tabs (socketables, ritual) does work from the poe1 website if theyre on your watchlist

so im stuck on lauchlin in act 1 cruel. i have 67% cold res, 800 life and 200 shield. im doing an ice/frenzy monk build

[ashen ledge]

25k with crits 30k

my fire and lightning are in the neg. i think 0 armor and like 2700 evation

By cruel your resists should be much better than that.

Resists and life are your two most important stats on gear.

!tabs

[desert sedge]

Stash tab sale when?
Generally, stash tabs are on sale every three weeks starting the second weekend of the league - the subreddit has an estimated stash tab sale day in the sidebar

How do I get points?
Purchasing the First Blood starter pack is recommended, as it has 200 points, a stash tab, and a weapon effect
||https://www.pathofexile.com/purchase#FirstBloodPack||
Alternatively, supporter packs are more cost effective than individual points, and give you extra stuff too.

Which ones do I get?
Recommended first tabs are:

• Currency Tab
• Upgrade to Premium (easier to list your items for trade)
• Map tab (after finishing the campaign)
• Fragment tab (after finishing the campaign)

_ And then what?_
If you're focusing on something specific eg. essence farming, picking up the essence tab might be a good investment. The same goes for the divination, and other specialized tabs, like delirium or delve. However, you may find you can handle things with a combination of regular tabs or a quad tab (and the extra storage space doesn't hurt either)

People generally use various channels for specific purposes, so it would be /global (something), but if you're asking about Beachead maps, you might have meant to ask in https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/405874785038368818

[feral stratus]

When leagues end, how do items transfer?

[final geyser]

All of your characters go into Standard, and all of the stuff you have in the stash goes into the Standard stash in Remove Only tabs - ie, if you had a Currency Stash Tab with stuff in it, it would be moved to Standard but only allow you to remove items from it, such as to move it to the regular Currency Tab.

[whole latch]

I'm thinking about coming back to PoE 2 to at least finish the campaign once. Any builds or tips I should be aware of, being a veteran noob of PoE1?

[final geyser]

Could you please check the channel you're in first?

[formal minnow]

Oh

Sorry

[zealous rapids]

Hello, what's the top starter build at the moment?

[sage onyx]

Doesn't ARC apply shock? 🤔

[final geyser]

It is a Payoff skill that Consumes Shock to trigger damaging pulses, therefore it cannot also apply Shock.

[sage onyx]

Is there a way to re-do my entire build to try something else? The gold cost seem astranomical 😦
Or should I just start a new character from scratch? 😮

[final geyser]

It is possible to fully respec your character (there's even a button that appears when you've got enough gold for it), but this gets more expensive as you level up, and the general intention on the part of the devs is that if you wanted to completely redo your character, you'd start a new one.
However, I'd say it really depends where you are in the game, what passive selections you've made, and how much gold you've got. It may be possible for you to respec only a few passives and keep roughly the same pathing on the tree, thereby saving on most of the gold cost. Naturally, if you want to redo literally everything, it might be more difficult.

[sage onyx]

That's kinda crap 😦
I'm in act 2 and trying things out... But the build I've done so far doesn't feel strong or fun... Sooo the game kind of wants me to just scrap the entire thing and start over 😦

Wish that the respec for gold would've become a thing only after you reach endgame 😦

Not to mention that leveling builds are often not very good at endgame =/

[final geyser]

As I said, that might not be necessary. If you post your tree and what kinds of changes you want to make, people may be able to advise you on how to improve without having to practically start over.

[sage onyx]

(Or at least it feels that way)

I have no idea what changes I want to make.... I just know that my current playstyle doesn't feel fun 😅

[final geyser]

And it highly depends on the build, some scale from levelling to endgame just fine, some only work well early on, some only work well in lategame once you have the right items.

[final geyser]

Then if you explain what you're doing and what you'd like to try, people could still offer suggestions.

[sage onyx]

I've been following a guide that used the Witche's skills "Contaigen" and "Essence Drain". Early on it worked really well to clear packs
But I didn't want to lean into chaos damage (Because then I would just play a witch >_>) and instead wanted to lean more into the elemental side of the sorc.

I am stuck now using Arch and Frost bomb, but neither Essence Drain nor Contaigen fit well into it. They don't scale well, and at the same time Arch feels like it doesn't do ANYTHING to single targets 🤔

I've also used my first lvl 8 gem to cut "Cast on shock" which apparently doesn't benefit from Arch.
I've put a lot of passives into lightning damage and elemental damage, but it seems like I am still struggling with bosses

Act 1 was cake, but act 2 seems to be a bit of a slog. I am okay at clearing hoards... But as soon as I'm in front of a boss its a war of attrition 😦

And between Arch and frost bomb, using essence drain feels weird? Like why would I swap from the skill that I put most points into to get it stronger to a skill that I never put any passives into and does dog damage =/

My current passive tree looks like this:

I also see that nobody plays a stormweaver 🤔

[marble trench]

im running an elemental sundering/spear field stormweaver

pretty pog with double chills and double shocks

[sage onyx]

No idea what that means XDD

But cool

[unborn lava]

In general, trying to split your damage between two very different damage types (Chaos and Lightning) won't work out well unless you super duper know what you're doing and how your long term progression works. Essence Drain + Contagion works great with the Lich ascendency passives. Trying to use them on a Sorc while also scaling lightning spells like Arc will likely just leave you feeling squishy with no dps.

If you're running stormweaver I'd suggest looking up YT videos and guides building around Arc, which was buffed recently. You may not end up with an S tier result, but you absolutely can fly through the campaign and get some endgame experience with it. That's a great result for a first character.

[trim turret]

What's wrong with using chaos damage as a class other than witch? That kind of build variety keeps people playing.

[feral stratus]

Can blasphemy activate 2 curses at the same time? I have 2 socketed and have enough spirit for it but I can only see one applied to nearby enemies

Ok I just searched

What are ways to increase curse limit?

[sage onyx]

I am not trying to split my damage between chaos and lightning. I were hopeing to play Chaos early game, and transition into the elemental part of the sorc.

[sage onyx]

There's nothing wrong with it, but the stormweaver ascendency doesn't fit well with it

[shut abyss]

can't remember top off my head but check a guide for cursebots they run multiple curses

[lament stone]

a lich ascendancy node, the whispers of doom keystone at the top side of the tree and the doedres damning unique ring all give +1 and thats all there is in poe 2

[fleet coyote]

What is the best twink leveling now? Wanna roll a monk, is the ice strike still the best?

[craggy gyro]

Will doing trial of chaos again in 2nd playthrough give ascendancy points or no, i actually need a inscribed that gives ascendancy points

does anyone know?

[final geyser]

If the Inscribed Ultimatum says that it will give points when viewed on that character, it will. If you've already done the base 4 Room Trial of Chaos on a character, and have gotten 2 points from Trial of the Sekhemas as well, you will need a 10 Room Inscribed Ultimatum to get your next set of points.

[craggy gyro]

Thanks Fair

[sage onyx]

So I've defeated the boss in Act 2 and now it tells me to find the hooded one at the caravan's midpoint.... But I have no idea where the hell that is 😦

[final geyser]

Do you mean Jamanra? There should be a ramp down from the Caravan, check the minimap if you're having trouble spotting it.

[sage onyx]

There isn't one tho 🤔
It says north west. Which means the top and left of the caravan.... But there's only the two ramps that enter me to a level =/
I've traveled to like all of the POIs for the caravan at this point

nvm found it 😅
usually that ramp enters me to a level

[craggy gyro]

Fair have you heard about anyone not getting first playthrough medallion from titan area? I skipped it by accident. I got the medallion and clan relics for secone playthrough, and tried to get it for first as well and its not spawning the drops

[final geyser]

They drop from Keth and The Lost City (haven't checked if Buried Shrines can also drop one) and The Bone Pits. They're a random drop, but there's generally a pack for either half that will drop the item.

I've not seen anyone outright not get the drop, though.

[craggy gyro]

ah okay so you should be able to complete it in both playthroughs ah what a pain

guess im gonna have to run both areas again

[alpine silo]

idk how, but i somehow skipped the phase where he summons monsters. he still spawned them, but i could just use the stairs

[hidden steppe]

guys does scavenged plate show a buff square on top left? i have it activated but i dont see it when i break armors

[marble trench]

Yes it does when it procs. Are you fully breaking armour? And did you activate it? It’s a spirit gem so needs to be activated from the gem menu

[hidden steppe]

ohh oops i thought stunning was breaking armor

i got the node for breaking armor now and its showing xD

[violet belfry]

yall ever heard of the wolf from the citadel?

[daring dragon]

No but citadels are endgame content so #2┃after-acts-help might be more suited.

[blissful raven]

How to do trial of sekhemas in cruel diff? Its just red and i cant travel to it using the map

[alpine silo]

ah yes, the info thing is above the level

[trim turret]

Get a trial key of the correct level and go there using the waypoint. The quest is a bug in cruel because cruel difficulty is a placeholder for acts 4-6.

[alpine silo]

somehow bloodrite guards won't spawn, it always says i don't have enough spirit even tho i do

it also allows me to keep clicking the +

[marble trench]

Have you tried pulling the gem out

[alpine silo]

multiple times, they just spawn and instantly despawn. after a google search it seems likely that the bloodrite guards/priests are bugged as spectres currently

[marble trench]

i wanted the ones that sling fireballs, but i will have to wait for a fix

[hidden steppe]

hi guys. is minion lich a safe pick for playing HC? got dropped an enfolding dawn and wanted a safe way to make it through maps cuz i keep dying hehe

[knotty coyote]

Hi guys is rarity on gear any good?

[old dust]

i guess poe2 is just too different from poe1. In poe1 i can slap flamewood on decoy totem, get elementalist and go from act 1 to red maps in full unique cheap gear. In poe2, no matter what build i try to do, it just fails to "feel good" through the campaign. Like i am not expecting to just walk up to high level maps and one click boom with out extreme investment. But just getting through the campaign is not fun at all. Comapred to poe1

[lament stone]

poe2 is supposed to be a slower more difficult game with more of a focus on combos instead of 1 button builds

the campaign in poe2 is more fun than the endgame imo

[final geyser]

I feel the same way. PoE2 has a larger focus on the action component, and while it is possible to find some builds that can trivialise the campaign, I always have more fun when I'm actually engaging with the combat and using multiple skills.

[old dust]

I do not mind some combos, but most do not feel very good or are slow......i have an idea though.....but i need to save up another like 50k g to redo my tree. i just redid it and it is even worse than before, performance wise. Going to be my last attempt, if it does not work out, i will just wait for 1.0 and see how that goes. Maybe my playstyle is just not supported very well yet, due to lack of items

[queen heath]

Guys, why is my dps lower when I put my body armour on ? Is it a tooltip bug ?

[trim turret]

We would have no idea how we can answer that without seeing your character or at least the body armor in question.

[queen heath]

I mean it's a pretty standard body armour, ev/es, spirit, and resistances on it, that's it. No attributes or anything that would like it could lose dmg, that's so strange

The thing is, when I have it off I have higher dmg

About 5% more

What could be causing it ?

When I try with another body armour, extremely similar, it doesn't change the DPS, stays exactly the same

[topaz junco]

And your build is?

[snow arch]

Hiya kinda newISH just got my first toon to the end game but i wanna respec, ive watched a few guides on how to but ive been stuck on trying to reset it for a few hours now lol i just cant with the trial of will. Anyone able to help or carry? If this is the wrong channel to ask i sincerely apologize.

[queen heath]

Deadeye pretty standard ice shot build

[white flax]

Still need?

[hidden steppe]

guys is lich w/ minions or infernalist better for leveling through campaign??

[median sedge]

I made a mercenary class im level 7 what should I focus on

[harsh moth]

Does anyone know how the gambling vendor works? It says it gains charges for killing unique monsters. So I go kill the giant gorilla in jungle and get a charge. The item sucks so I need another. I go kill him again and get nothing. So I go kill Witch boss in the bog and the Chimera boss and I still didn't get a charge. Is there a time limit on getting charges or something?

[trim turret]

I think its once per boss during the campaign and then more in endgame. Save them and use a couple at once. Check the other vendors, use crafting currency, dont hoard runes. That should fill the gaps.

[trim turret]

Depends on your build. Generic questions in POE will frequently be met with that same answer.

Because the game is too complex and has too many options to say "this class does this thing."

[daring dragon]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

[harsh moth]

@trim turret Sadly I have exhausted all items from all sources , just trying to get a chest piece with +spirit on it. Using only a couple isn't an option with a crafting system this bad. I think I started with 13 and add in all the pieces I bought from all the vendors I could find. all that and I couldn't get 1 chest piece with 1 single stat I wanted. ☹️

[trim turret]

If you're still in the campaign, you're unlikely to get spirit on body armor. There are uniques you can try to trade for instead.

[harsh moth]

@trim turret Yeah he is still in the campaign . I managed to find a couple pieces with +spirit , but it was always the wrong kind of armor and the recombinator just destroys everything when you try to put it on something else.

[trim turret]

What do you mean, wrong kind of armor?

If it has the stats you need you dont care what base type it is, especially during the campaign.

[harsh moth]

It was + armor when I need + energy shield ect . . .

[trim turret]

That doesn't matter at all during the campaign.

You want life and resists on whatever gear you're wearing, and you take what you can get.

[harsh moth]

Just seems a waste when 1/2 my passive points are in + to energy shield. I gain very little from 100 armor compared to if it were 100 energy shield.

[trim turret]

Energy shield is difficult to build and sustain early on.

And if you need the spirit THAT badly during the campaign you have to make choices.

[eager oracle]

i need help in act 2, could someone assist me in killing the traitor

[limber dune]

If you are playing with someone and they have greater item rarity find does that apply for the whole group or for just the one person?

[trim turret]

What trouble are you having? Is it the poison gas?

[eager oracle]

Yes

Plus my build doesn't do much damage atm

[trim turret]

Need to find her in the arena when that happens and the gas recedes.

[eager oracle]

Thunder spear huntress

[final geyser]

You just need to find where she teleports to and get close to her in order for the gas to recede. Usually, you can tell where she goes by the voice line, but if not, just running around the arena until she starts becoming visible also works.

Some debuffs that you can apply to her also linger through the teleportation, making it super easy to spot her, which includes Parried iirc.

[topaz junco]

Also if you pay close attention, she vanishes in the direction she teleports to

[final geyser]

Honestly never noticed that, always just used the audio cue, though it makes sense

[trim turret]

Make sure your weapon is as up to date as possible and you're using support gems and skill combinations that benefit each other.

[hoary zenith]

How much can I trade this chaos orb for?

[trim turret]

How much of what?

[hoary zenith]

How much does one chaos orb cost for exalted orbs?

Idk which currency is good for trading in this game

[trim turret]

Check the currency exchange in game.

Exalts are the $1 Bill and divines are the $100 bill basically for trading.

[hoary zenith]

Don't think I can use that system yet

[trim turret]

Act 1 Cruel is when it unlocks. If youre before that, you probably dont need to trade for anything anyway. But a chaos isnt a huge find or anything.

[hoary zenith]

So not worth trading then?

[trim turret]

Not really.

Either build up other defensive layers to a point that the debuff isn't a liability anymore or don't use ward.

[feral stratus]

[valid sky]

Does the "defend with 200% armour" go above that 50% limit or up to 50% max?

[alpine silo]

why can i not return to past Utzaal after going to cruel mode? the gateway just spits me out at riverbank

[trim turret]

It has some odd behavior since cruel is a placeholder for acts 4-6. I'd get to the first town and try to use the waypoint to go back.

[alpine silo]

ah, well i went with another character that coincidentally was in that area. just wanted to try some of the enemies as spectres

oh weird, when i logged back to my ''main'' character, they placed me in the past

[alpine silo]

do different spectres count as different types of minions?

[unborn lava]

Unfortunately, no. "Spectre" is the minion type on a technical level, even though in practice they certainly feel like a different kind when you bind different monsters.

[alpine silo]

ah thats a shame, but thanks for the info

[unborn lava]

It's a good question. I had the same question at one point and have to look up some testing to answer it.

[kind plinth]

I failed my 1st ascend, and i can't retry it. Someone know what i have to do to try it again please ?

[hoary zenith]

Do I have to do the trials of chaos to get ascension points?

[alpine silo]

what do you mean you can't retry it? do you no longer have the token? (and is it not still in the altar)

[kind plinth]

I still got both relic, but i can't put them on the alter, so the door are closed

[alpine silo]

yes and no, yes if you want to do it at the earliest point, no because you can get higher level baryas to do the sekhema trial instead

its a random drop tho, so getting it will be the hard part

[alpine silo]

what does the altar look like when you open it? can you send a screenshot?

[kind plinth]

I couldn't open it until i restart the game twice and goes back to the caravane 3 times ffs

[alpine silo]

wtf

[kind plinth]

Seems there is no more help needed, only skill is required now ty

[hoary zenith]

recommended level to do the trials of chaos?

[alpine silo]

depends, if you feel like its impossible atm, try after getting some noticeable upgrades. the random nature of the modifiers also plays a huge roll. i lost like 3 attempts before getting it because of annoying modifiers

[lament stone]

whenever you feel like youre ready, being a higher level doesnt inherently make you tankier or do more damage

you do get a little bit of life and mana for each level, but mostly your level only matters for equipping gems and gear and how many skill points you have

[alpine silo]

yeah thats exactly why i said noticeable upgrades. its not really a matter of level, unless you do it like 30 levels later lol

im trying to make poison spectres (blow dart guys specifically), but im unsure how to maximize poison from minions. any tips?

[hoary zenith]

Only like level 43 tho my resistance ain't good with lightning being only 65%, fire being 51% and cold at 4%

[hidden steppe]

friends,, whats safer? ED lich or playing smith kitava in hc??

[unborn lava]

I'd say Smith for sure. I've leveled both into endgame and though I find the Lich more fun to play in maps, the Smith is so naturally tanky that you basically never die. Never done HC though, you're braver than me.

after acts is for anything after the campaign

[queen heath]

How is that possible that some items show higher values than when you press alt to see the details ? Pressing alt and the values drop by like 10%, what is causing it ?

[trim turret]

There are hybrid mods like increased physical damage + accuracy and the physical damage from that mod will stack with another physical damage mod on the item.

[queen heath]

I don't think that's the case, it's on unique items

Send a screenshot if you can.

Any news on game release?

[final geyser]

Latest estimate from Jonathan has been December to March.

[feral stratus]

Does it cost coins to have challenge reward cosmetics from PoE1 to transfer to PoE2?

[final geyser]

No, there's no cost to it, they'll just be available in the other game once they've been ported.

This applies to all MTX, incidentally, once it's added in to PoE2 (or a new PoE2 MTX is ported back to PoE1) then you're able to use it freely in either game, regardless of when you bought it, such as with Stash Tabs.

[feral stratus]

Ah alright thanks! I thought I read somewhere before that transferring MTX costed around 6 coins each

[final geyser]

If that was actually said somewhere, that source is incorrect. MTX is shared freely between the games.

act 2 cruel ascendancy? do i need the special stone? if so how do I get it? is the stone from act2 normal usable? what specific stone it has to be?

[trim turret]

I mean it looks like it could be expensive and that is an endgame setup well past the scope of this channel. For the ascendancy, you need a trial key of the correct level and they drop randomly.

[final geyser]

And the quest in Cruel Act 2 to do the Trial of the Sekhemas can be ignored, there's no quest version of the trial past the one in normal Act 2.

[unborn lava]

POE 2 database website has a subsection on the possible modifiers for each weapon type, as well as the weightings as calculated by some work done by a research discord group.

Each section on weapons will have a "Modifiers Calc" tab where you can find this info. Here's the one for Bows, as an example: https://poe2db.tw/us/Bows#ModifiersCalc

[pure rose]

Yo guys, what does "Adds 1 to 6 lightning damage TO attacks" mean?

Does that mean it will minus lightning damage and add that to attack or boost lightning damage?

[hybrid star]

you get added 1-6 (or 3.5 averaged) lightning damage to your attacks, check your weapon, the damage numbers up top, the 1-6 will be an addition to those numbers, and they will get scaled by "%increased attack damage" or "%increased elemental damage with attacks" from your passives or anywhere

also "to attacks" means you only get that added damage when you are using an "attack" skill, with a martial weapon, not spells

[pure rose]

Thanks a bunch mate 👍

[autumn grove]

Is there any form of campaign skipping like LE? Or a form of rushing like D2?

[daring dragon]

No skip feature, rushing comes down to know which sidequests reward permanent bonuses and only doing those and skipping all the unnecessary one's.

[rotund granite]

hi quick question do i want more elemental damage over physical ? in this case it would be fire

the passive skill "avatar of fire" converting 75% non-fire damage into fire damage but i become unable to deal non fire damage

does this also mean that the 25% of damage leftover just dissapears ?

and does this also include my skills ?

[unborn lava]

Impossible to know this without details of your build, but I can give a bit more context on the other questions.

[unborn lava]

Yes and no. It means that 25% of whatever your non-fire base damage existed before the conversion will be lost. Effectively, that notable passive causes the conversion calculation to calaculate as if you were only doing 75% of your non-fire damage, then removes what's left.

[unborn lava]

The plain answer is no, because the conversions from your skills happen before the conversion step from passives and items. See here for a more in depth explanation of that: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/damage-conversion

Note though that a skill conversion which converts from any type of damage to a non-fire damage type would be effected, because Avatar of Fire specifies you cannot deal anything but fire damage. So a skill that converts your damage from fire into another damage type would not be efficiently used with Avatar of Fire.

[drowsy fjord]

how the hell am i supposed to defeat king of the mist when the fu... keeps trapping me?????????

[final geyser]

He only traps you if you respond to a set of skills incorrectly. When he puts a red effect on you, you have to stop moving. When it's purple, you have to keep moving. Doing the wrong thing for too long will trap you in place. I believe you also get a debuff when this happens, you can check it to determine which is which if you're not sure.

[drowsy fjord]

Brah he then proceeds to bomb me like Muslims on the twin Towers

[trim turret]

That is survivable. Resists and life should be your priority on gear.

[drowsy fjord]

ive patinumed elden rind and dark souls and it wasnt as bullshit as this game

[trim turret]

Well that's an entirely different genre of game and this is still very far from release.

There are a lot more elements to builds in a game like this compared to a souls-like.

Are you running synergistic skill/support gems? Are you getting life and resists on gear? If you're using attacks, how is your weapon? What does your passive tree look like? A lot of players assume base attributes are stacked for damage, and they aren't. Its just a learning curve.

[drowsy fjord]

dosent meat the developers to think ahhh lets make this guy trap the player and then for the boss to bomb them like israel is geting bombed

[drowsy fjord]

i doge most of the time

[trim turret]

That answers none of those questions, nor does it mean you can ignore those things. Again, not a souls like. Stats matter way more.

[trim turret]

Its a mechanical and stat check. If you're dying a lot in POE, it usually means you need to look at your build and make adjustments.

[drowsy fjord]

nah man imma just get my credit card and pay some random shit so i dont die

[topaz junco]

Also very confused as to why you think those are appropriate statements

Also “using your credit card and pay some random shit” is rmt and grounds for being banned

[trim turret]

Enjoy your ban. RMT is against the TOS. If you can't work at your build long enough to make it through act 1, this isnt the game for you. What's even the point?

Act 1 is like the beginning of the tutorial.

[drowsy fjord]

Why add dodging if you’re only focused on build, damage, and armor, resistance?

[final geyser]

It's an Action RPG, there's both in there.

If you want to play with just numbers and don't want to bother with the action, there are better suited games for you.

[drowsy fjord]

nice i just wasted my money thinking this game is not gonna throw bullshit at you

[trim turret]

Its not bullshit. You just actually need a build. The passive tree and all the stats on the gear should have been a big clue.

[final geyser]

Plus, the game is very open about having a greater emphasis on bosses and action, basically all showcases and trailers focused on that stuff.

[drowsy fjord]

i bought it because i liked it but adding random shit into a boss fight aint making it better

[final geyser]

It's not 'random shit', it's a mechanic you have to pay attention to.

[trim turret]

And again, it's a mechanic that you can also survive if you have some gear and maybe hit the life flask.

[drowsy fjord]

so wtf am i supposed to do when im standing out of flasks and mohhamed starts bombing me?

[trim turret]

Examine your build and see where you can make improvements. Check vendors for better gear (life and resists) use runes if you have any, salvage gear with sockets or quality, disenchant or sell other gear you pick up but won't use.

What does your passive tree look like? What skills and supports are you using?

Have you done all the optional bosses that give permanent upgrades?

[drowsy fjord]

ive killed all the bosses ive found

[trim turret]

You want to use one starting path. The goal is to get as few of the small nodes as possible and as many of the big ones as possible. Are you using falling thunder or what main skill for damage?

[drowsy fjord]

fireball

[trim turret]

Theyre marked on the world map and have a + symbol if they give something permanent.

[drowsy fjord]

ive killed those

[trim turret]

Why. I'm sure a spellcasting monk is possible but not easy for a new player.

You're basically making common new player mistakes. Random skills. Trying to fill in the whole passive tree.

[drowsy fjord]

should i chose another character?

[uncut widget]

Ayy what’s up errbody

[trim turret]

Its less about the class and more about having a competent build to play.

Maybe try a build guide.

[uncut widget]

There many people active in here for Poe?

[trim turret]

There's usually someone around to answer questions.

[uncut widget]

I’m starting my first character on Poe 2

I played Poe 1 a lot about 6-7 years ago, but I’m seeing that the skill setups are a little different

[trim turret]

Yup. No longer tied to gear.

[uncut widget]

I’m not seeing where to post for builds in the DC list, but anyone have a suggestion on a build that will get me through the campaign pretty quick?

[final geyser]

If it's your first time in PoE2, I'd just recommend playing through at your own pace and learning the game.

[uncut widget]

I can respec later yeah?

[trim turret]

Maxroll has some decent guides.

[final geyser]

Sure, you can refund points with gold and swap ascendancy classes in a similar manner to PoE1.

[trim turret]

Like I told Squizzly, maxroll has some decent guides. Even if you don't follow one, I'd look at a couple to see what builds look like.

[tawny jewel]

Hello, if I equip a helmet or boots with a Jewel can I return it doing something or is attached forever?

[daring dragon]

You can't take it out but you can put in another one and it will override the current one.

[tawny jewel]

Thanks for the clarification

[trim turret]

Assuming you mean runes? Just to be clear.

[tawny jewel]

Lol, when I got the jewel the circle of the equipments got activated but I only can use runes in that holes

[unreal spade]

Hello,
How is ot possible to craft Orb of Augmentation pls ?

[unborn lava]

You don't craft them, you loot them from mob drops. Don't worry, they aren't scarce. By endgame you'll have hundreds.

[tawny jewel]

If I invite a player can it got the drops? And is 2 the max player number?

[final geyser]

If you mean inviting people into a party, you can have up to 6 players total - yourself included. There are some settings for how loot is assigned, including permanent and temporary allocation, as well as free for all.

[tawny jewel]

I have ask help with a boss, I accept someone and I got a second person that want to help me and I accept the second and the one just dissapear like I was kicking it

And how rare are Vaal Orbs in the endgame? I got one in the game do far (act 3) and when i was going to thanks the one who help me it takes the the Vaal Orb that the boss dropped

[final geyser]

The invite request is likely still there, the pop-ups for them don't remain on screen permanently.

[final geyser]

Relatively common.

[tawny jewel]

Is there anything I can do in the Temple of Kopec about the ¿Sun?? Or just run?

[final geyser]

Increasing your Fire Resistance will decrease the damage you take from it, standing in shadow will prevent it from burning you - barring some areas where the shadows seem bugged, but most of them work - and running through the illuminated areas is also a viable approach.

[topaz junco]

Tbh I just run through with life flask and pray

h ok thx you

hi yall complete noob here but when i get a loot filter do i want to have the always highlight option turned on. Im just wanting to filter out what is worth picking up and not?

[tiny scroll]

hi there! how;s the game doing?

[trim turret]

In what way?

[tiny scroll]

in general.

[trim turret]

We've had several patches since 0.2 dropped and overall I'd say we're in a decent spot until 0.3, which is supposed to focus on giving us more options in how to play and focus less on combo oriented gameplay. Along with whatever content will get added.

[forest ferry]

Hi everyone I recently stated playong poe and really need help finding a noob friendly build with step by step. I usually like playing sorc or ranger but im open to any other easy build.

[trim turret]

Maxroll usually has some new player friendly guides. Make sure they're for 0.2 and league starters.

[cursive hill]

can anyone tell me a good build to start thats pretty fun and easy for 0.2?

[trim turret]

What's fun to you?

[boreal hedge]

Like others have said, max maxroll has easy to follow guides, but its personally more fun to me making my own builds and seeing what works with what I have in my head

[silk fulcrum]

anyone could help me to do lab ? or at least help me with campaign ?

[daring dragon]

Lab is poe1, this is a poe2 channel. Also use the lfg channels for searching actual ingame help.

This is more of a question channel

[final geyser]

It's coming in August.

[feral stratus]

Can anyone recommend me a crossbow build that's not reliant on ailments? If any at all

[noble tusk]

Well, you can just use galvanic shards to clear and rapid shot with fire grenades.

[tender spear]

How long did it take any POE1 fans to adapt to 2

I've been trying to get into it little by little, still fails every single time. Am I missing a part of the gameplay or something that's different than POE1?

[final geyser]

I got into it the moment that I started playing, though, unless you're playing one of the broken builds this league that trivialises everything, the gameplay can be quite different, using multiple skills and combos as well as having to actually pay attention to enemies and bosses from the start, rather than only in Pinnacle encounters.

Still, if there's something specific that you're struggling with, feel free to ask in here.

[tender spear]

What builds got broke?

[sour iron]

how to increase amount of sockets for support stones?

i have only 2 sockets why?

[final geyser]

All skill gems start with 2 sockets. To get more, you need to use Lesser, Greater or Perfect Jeweller's Orbs to set the number of sockets to 3, 4 and 5 respectively. There's a guaranteed drop of a Lesser Jeweller's Orb in the first zone of Act 3, in a chest by two rare enemies.

[golden delta]

Hey, sorry if this isn't exactly the correct channel, but I'm struggling to make sense of the build guides channel. But I've been attempting to follow a bleed amazon build on youtube through early campaign and am having a lot of trouble, it's meant to be a starting from level 1 early game thing so I don't know if Im doing it wrong or if the build has problems/is outdated. Are there any particular resources for looking at what builds are around and up to date?

[trim turret]

Maxroll usually has trustworthy guides. You can also link the one you're following and tell us the issue you're having.

[golden delta]

thanks for the shoutout, I was looking at this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqDa4VzEtYA and my main issue is that I constantly find myself not killing enemies and not refilling bottle flasks fast enough as a result to actually survive

I like the idea of amazon bleed as presented here, but I've seen mixed things about its strength

[trim turret]

I've never heard of that guy but where are you in the game and what does your weapon look like?

[golden delta]

still very very early on around like level 20, just never struggled this much in the process of getting there as much as I have here

it feels like every normal mob is a struggle, which makes me think that something is messed up conceptually

[trim turret]

Yeah that definitely shouldn't be the case. What's the physical damage roll on your weapon?

[golden delta]

I think it's just an iron spear I picked up from the shop with +1 to melee skill levels earlier, Sorry I'm not on right now to check

Do you know if bleed amazon is a real build? Might be im approaching things wrong in the first place

[trim turret]

Bleed Amazon is absolutely a thing. I can't look much at that specific build right now, but I did a self made bleed earlier this patch and was rolling right along into cruel difficulty.

[golden delta]

Alright, glad to know that its not cooked from the ground up, means that when Im next on ill have to look at what gear ive got and what supports to see if Im missing something obvious

[trim turret]

Hard to troubleshoot if you can't give us info about your character right now too.

Yeah.

Might just be you have a bad weapon or a gem mistake or a unique that is gimping you somehow.

[golden delta]

Thanks for letting me know im not totally screwed though, Ill keep at it to figure out whats up

[tender spear]

How long does it take to beat the 6 acts ?

I might try another character

[frosty badge]

10 hours at a steady pace… 6-8 if your twinking!

[frosty badge]

Yeah bleed Amazon is a solid build… 🩸

[long horizon]

where should i get my levelling build guides from as a very new player? i have seen both mobalytics and maxroll do them or should i get them from yt?

[trim turret]

Maxroll is usually solid, mobalytics and especially youtube it depends on the creator. There are even some scam youtube channels out there.

[long horizon]

okay thank you i think ill just stick to maxroll for now then since i do not know how to spot bad builds

[trim turret]

You can run them past us and someone will give input when they have time. But generally avoid anything that's like "number 1 build this league, make dozens of divs per hour," etc.

[long horizon]

ok thanks a lot, i think i was going to just run this build though https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-lich-build-guide

[sage onyx]

I just killed this thing twice but the map still says I didn't 🤔

[lament stone]

did you use the item it dropped?

[sage onyx]

It dropped some equipment 🤔

I see what you mean now. I thought it was a quest item. Thank you

[final geyser]

Check all quest items that drop from bosses, especially those that have a plus next to their icon on the world map. Many such Quest items will be usable to give you buffs.

[valid sky]

does this work on ignite?

or hits only? doesnt say its hits only tho

[final geyser]

Gain as Extra only applies to Hits, since it's basically Conversion, which also only works on Hits.

You can check this in the tooltip text ingame, it explains this.

[valid sky]

I see yeah makes sense

cant click tags in pob sadly

[drowsy quail]

looking for help with wolf ogham manor

[fiery hollow]

how eng game now looks like idk should i back to this game or no

[drowsy fjord]

when do i unlock the quality stuff on weapons

[final geyser]

If by Quality you do just mean Quality, the stat that can go up to 20% and increases the damage of the weapon by the same amount, that's available from early on. You can find items that drop with Quality, Salvage them to get Blacksmith's Whetstones, or get them as random drops. I believe Mawdun Quarry has a high chance to drop a few Quality Currency items.

[drowsy fjord]

should i just upgrade one side ?

[final geyser]

Yes, there's no reason to be taking all those small passives, it's inefficient. You want to be pathing towards notable passives, ie the larger ones like this.

You've only got 123 passives in total by level 100 - something most people do not reach - so every single point matters. Notables are much more efficient per point than small passives, barring certain cases you don't need to worry about this early on.

[drowsy fjord]

now i understand the scaling

its a bit wierd tbh

[drowsy fjord]

why does rolling slam jump randomly?

[marsh musk]

How is path 2 doing? I know their first league wasn't so good and the game slowed down a bunch.

[topaz junco]

[dusky burrow]

do it

[quick stirrup]

So on the one wiki it keeps saying their are axes, daggers, and swords in the game is that true?

I haven't found any

[vivid zealot]

for item prefixes and suffixes are higher tiers better than lower?

like t10 > t1?

[final geyser]

Technically, they do exist and can drop under certain circumstances, but they don't have any of their associated skills yet and are mostly just collector's items at this point. They will be added and start dropping normally once the associated class and therefore their skills are added into the game.

[final geyser]

Lower is better, they swapped it around in one of the 0.2 updates.

[vivid zealot]

thanks

[final geyser]

First of all, no begging for items in the server. We can instead tell you how to obtain better items or improve the stuff you have. Secondly, if you're playing PoE1 - as your role would suggest - you're in the wrong set of channels.

[mellow hare]

I understand everything, I just help newbies by playing on other characters, I give them items and I thought there would also be people here who have an unnecessary item and the like, sorry, I didn’t notice that the tab for poe 2

[zealous onyx]

What’s a similar build to righteous fire in poe2

[dusky burrow]

although not as easy to set up etc.

[exotic salmon]

just got poe 2 never never played first one anyone willing to join up and do the campaign with me

[valid sky]

Its not very obvious from the description of immobilisation

is time freeze an immobilization

here is wording for time freeze

[trim turret]

#2┃looking-for-group and this channel for questions about mechanics/the game itself.

[trim turret]

It looks like it SHOULD work, but you're right. Its not obvious. What are you trying to use it for? Is it something you can test?

[valid sky]

not immediately, I was curious about interaction between time freeze and damage amplifiers on "immobilised targets"

it does sound like it should work

it even states "examples" and not just what works specifically

[trim turret]

Can always try to punch it into POB and see if it makes a difference.

[valid sky]

I dont think there is a checkmark for time freeze specifically, but I might be wrong

[tacit wagon]

you are playing more than half year, how you are still noob

[final geyser]

You may want to check rule 6.

[ebon hound]

What guide should i follow for a huntress Lightning spear, as a first char this league

[lean glen]

what skills can proc ice locus? or whatever its called

[peak crown]

did i said something too crazy? or it's kinda correct?

it was a question about dark defiler "gain 5% of damage as chaos damage per undead minion"

to add more to that comment it does not even have to be a spell right? if you wield dark defiler and shield, resonant shield would also get that extra chaos damage right?

[boreal tulip]

thoughts on melee vs range?

i cannot find a good reason to play melee

[peak crown]

i'm playing a smith of kitava after playing a minion infernalist and it's curious that even having to be in the middle of everything I feel safer with the smith than with the infernalist xD

[boreal tulip]

due to what? armor? block?

[peak crown]

kitava is quite tanky yeah

[boreal tulip]

in what way

[peak crown]

i have quite high hp regen and armor makes the possible hits much lower than what i saw with the infernalist

i stand next to the rares spamming normal attacks and i survive

i'm just in maps tier 4 and i'm sure that will change though but for the moment i enjoy my tin can

[boreal tulip]

hmmm, and what about aoe and elem?

[peak crown]

kitava has that covered too with the "free" +75% fire resistance and all fire resistance give half of cold and lightning res

[boreal tulip]

so you basically feel like you cannot be oneshot?

[peak crown]

i haven't been one shot yeah...

i play with a friend in local coop, he plays a strategist and he gets one shot quite often

meanwhile me i'm in the middle of everything banging my shield and being happy increasing my armor xD

[unreal silo]

Thorns

[boreal tulip]

i assume the joke here is they are as useless as they seem

[peak crown]

that was my first idea with my character

[unreal silo]

I have a tanky ritualist that carries through t15s

With thorns

[unreal silo]

Nope

Theyre good

[boreal tulip]

hm

[peak crown]

i wanted to make a thorns character

[boreal tulip]

thorns = getting hit = not for hc

:/

[unreal silo]

Ye it’s a bit risky for hc

For sure

But even then with my build I clear t15s with ease

Trouble with pinnacle bosses but that’s it

[boreal tulip]

ritualist is good, no doubt

[peak crown]

one advantage with melee is that by definition you are close to the enemy and it's easier to pay attention to tge enemy itself to dodge their attacks imo

[boreal tulip]

i love the extra ring slot

[boreal tulip]

the most dangerous things in hc to me are ground effects, nasty projectiles, or big slams

being close would really only help with the slams

so far ritualist/zon is the best balance of tankiness and dps i've found

[drowsy fjord]

is this weapon good for warrior?

[final geyser]

The better question is whether the weapon is good for you specifically. Does it deal more damage than any other weapon you have, and are you killing enemies decently quickly? It's fine if so.

[drowsy fjord]

it does the most damage but i would like a better one

[drowsy fjord]

do better life flasks give more health?

[final geyser]

You can check the recovery values on the Flask, but yes, higher level base type Flasks will recover more.

[regal crown]

Can some one help me with Viper and doryani?

[final geyser]

Assuming you want someone to fight the boss with you, you should go to https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714168576249887
If you'd like advice on beating them, we would need to know what parts you're struggling with.

[trim turret]

You should always be looking for better items. And "good for a warrior doesn't mean much." There are warrior builds that use crossbows.

[fringe brook]

Does any one know how can I lower my stun threshold ?

[trim turret]

Lower it?

Cast when stunned is a POE1 thing unless I've missed something in POE2 which is very possible.

[fringe brook]

I’m trying to get my energy shield to recharge when I get stunned but I can get it to happen consistently

[trim turret]

What are you using to trigger that? Gear or a passive?

[molten sandal]

Stun Threshold is based of life, so lower your max life. Chaos Inoculation will do the trick as long as you don't take nodes that let you use energy shield to calculate your stun threshold.

I'm assuming you're using Energy Barrier (or whatever it's called) support on your spammiest skill in order to keep it procced, but you WILL need stone charms to keep this going so you don't get utterly stunlocked.

Otherewise there's a couple unique items that will lower your max life, just don't use the Eye of Chayula to lower your max life, as that would be... counterproductive.

[sick tide]

guys please, for an huntress lighting build, is it better to drink the venom draught who augments the elemental ailment threshold or mana regen ?

[trim turret]

Are you following a guide?

[ember sinew]

Where do I go???
Spending so much time running around in this game isnt fun
And it happens a lot...

[final geyser]

For Ancient Vows, you just need to go to the waypoint in the zone, the altar is practically beside it. For Trail of Corruption, you should return to town and use the Desert Map to travel to Deshar, as the quest text indicates.

[ember sinew]

Thx

[lean glen]

what spell/skill do i use as monk for aoe dmg before i get charged staff or whatever its called

[trim turret]

Are you following a build? Its not like there's one in particular you have to use.

[lean glen]

trying to not follow a build

just need aoe dmg as im only really stacking shock/dealing good single target dmg rn

i'd like to use ice nova as its got a large radius but does like 0 dmg

[trim turret]

Glacial cascade, wave of frost, falling thunder + power charges. If youre doing your own thing, then experiment.

Ice nova id a spell.

[lean glen]

that is indeed what i said

[trim turret]

Are you investing in spell or attack damage?

[lean glen]

main stat is in dex rn

[trim turret]

Dex doesn't give you damage so that is meaningless.

[lean glen]

not too sure then

[trim turret]

It just lets you equip stuff.

Attacks and spells are two different things.

[lean glen]

lemme log on

[trim turret]

Monk skills are mostly attacks.

[lean glen]

probably gonna branch off to get alternating current

yes ik my stats arent good

cant drop any good armor pieces

[trim turret]

So unless some of those passives give spell damage, of course ice nova is going to suck. Its a spell. Doesn't use the damage on your weapon.

[lean glen]

does a crap ton of freeze buildup tho

[trim turret]

So do other attack skills and the more cold damage you do, the more freeze buildup.

Wave of frost is an attack with a huge freeze multiplier.

Falling thunder is a great clear skill if you can generate power charges with killing palm or something else.

[lean glen]

um. was this an oversight?

it shows all the unreleased classes

Druid
Shadow
Templar
Duelist
Marauder

[trim turret]

No? Just showing you whats coming and it would be more work to introduce multiple versions of the GUI as they add classes.

[gleaming cloud]

Hi, could someone explain to me how totem damage scales?

[wind umbra]

Well as far as I understand, full totem builds like PoE 1 are much rarer in poe2 and are limited basically only to the ballista totems if such builds do exist,
but all PoE2 totems that have the attack modifier have their own base damage and thus cannot be amplified by the attack damage of your equipped weapon(s) alone.

the usual increases in damage that are relavant to the totem's tags should work too (increased % totem damage etc)

Other than that, flat added damage like those found on rings and gloves should still work and would be very valuable.
The biggest increase in damage however is likely additional max totem/skill limit modifiers, which right now I believe are limited only to 2 notable passives on the tree, overabundance support, soul mantle unique body armour and idol of ulurn amulet (of which probably isnt worth using an amulet slot on)

Warbringer ascendancy has some unique mechanics with totems and is probably your best bet if you want them to be a major focus

I can't say for sure how strong Tactician is with them, because a lot of their damage is 'Allies' tagged and I dont believe totems count as allies

• are quite far from the totem nodes on the tree

[gleaming cloud]

First of all, thank you so much for your response. I thought totem damage increased with weapon stats or attributes like Strength. I'm playing a mercenary and wanted to choose the allied focused ascendancy.

[wind umbra]

I think tactician is quite strong but to be honest I hope they rework that node to also have it affect totems in the future.
not that I like attack totems being reintroduced into poe2, but I dislike more how much this ascendancy has baited many new players into totem focused builds

[gleaming cloud]

Totem damage also increases with nodos of area damage from attacks.

[lean glen]

i was just progressing in act 3 and now i cant use tempest bell?

[lean glen]

fixed it

just had to relog

any better dps options?

[marble trench]

I’m an ice strike enthusiast myself

Functionally not very different from tempest flurry though it doesn’t have the weird walking thing flurry does you just wail

[lean glen]

yeah im not not procing bell enough with ice tsrike

ice strike*

[marble trench]

Could just be time to upgrade gear then

[lean glen]

oh for sure

my gear is crap

[marble trench]

Most monk stuff benefits the most from adding flat physical

[lean glen]

but noone responds on the market

[marble trench]

What level are you and you’re in dawn of the hunt?

[lean glen]

32 and yes

[trim turret]

You shouldn't need to trade for gear in act 3.

[lean glen]

im just dropping common gear

[trim turret]

Thats not possible, you must be dropping some magic and rare items.

[lean glen]

some blue ones

no good stats on it

[trim turret]

And even still, if a white weapon has better base damage than your current one, throw a transmute and an augment at it and see if you get physical damage.

What do you consider good stats?

[lean glen]

higher dps ig

im at 91 dmg on my quarter staff

im just looking for stuff with more evasion and armor

[trim turret]

How do you know its 91 damage? Like what's the range of damage?

[trim turret]

Life and resistances are more important.

[lean glen]

let me log back on

[marble trench]

max life and resistances are better for campaign

[lean glen]

all the screenshots i could get before reboot

[trim turret]

So everything but the weapon, which is what we asked about.

Uniques arent automatically good.

That robe is pretty worthless unless youre stacking a lot of energy shield and regularly using your mana flask.

Use some artificers orbs and runes on gear too to help fill out your resists.

At least the boots have movement speed and life.

[trim turret]

Also, is that ruthless as a support gem? That doesn't help your damage, and if you're already focused on lightning damage, you want to focus on electrocuting or shocking enemies, not stunning them.

[lean glen]

It goes from 374 to 432 with it idk

[trim turret]

With the red support gem? Is it ruthless?

[lean glen]

Yea

Anyway im gonna go to bed

Got work at 4am

[trim turret]

There's no way ruthless is giving you damage but OK.

[marble trench]

if he's a gemling with integrated efficiency it would

could also just be a tooltip bug tho

[acoustic crag]

how do i equip shield with two handed mace for smith of kitava ?

i got it just allocating the "Giant's Blood" keystone passive on the skill tree

[acoustic gorge]

Can anyone point me to a zombie/summoning level guide for witch

or just a good longterm guide for witch that's based on summons

[lean glen]

Monk invoker

[marble trench]

Weird

[lean glen]

can you no longer herald chain or whatever its called

[final geyser]

Correct.

[lean glen]

Alr, would it be possible to use hand of chayula for tempest bell?

Just to get the max dps

[final geyser]

As in, hitting the Tempest Bell with Hand of Chayula? I don't believe it would apply Marks or Curses to Tempest Bell on hitting it, can't say I've ever tried it though.

[noble tusk]

Tempest bell can only apply elemental ailments. Curses and marks aren't ailments.

[lean glen]

Idk why i thought conductivity was a curse

My bad

[noble tusk]

Conductivity is a curse though.

Ailments is a group of debuffs, like shock, freeze, chill, electrocute, ignite, bleed and poison.

All of them except bleed and poison are elemental ailments.

[lean glen]

oh, ok

Assumed conductivity, flamability and hypothermia added additional elemental dmg to your weapon

[final geyser]

They do not, they just decrease the Resistance that an enemy has to Lightning, Fire and Cold damage respectively.

[lean glen]

Gotcha

[blazing kelp]

When is next wipe for poe2

[final geyser]

There aren't any wipes, but the next league is coming on August 29th. You can read the news post on the website to learn more: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3811169

[lean glen]

What happens when this league ends, do i have to play through campaign again?

[final geyser]

Once the league ends, your characters go into Standard. You can keep playing them, but if you want to play the new 0.3 league - which should come with league-specific content that will not immediately be added to the core game, unlike Dawn of the Hunt - you will need to make a new character, which would mean completing the campaign again, yes.

That being said, there is the possibility of Act 4 being added in with 0.3, which would mean you have one more new act to do and one less Cruel act to complete during the campaign.

[old dust]

Since totems are considers "you" for "most" things. if i get 100%chance to poison/bleed etc, will the totems get that as well? so like just slap an envenom/bleed gem on a totem and it will take my bonuses?

[lean glen]

Hoping druid gets added in august :)

[final geyser]

It might, we won't know for sure until at least a teaser, similar to the Dawn of the Hunt one, or the full announcement a week prior to the league.

[desert sedge]

Rule 6. No trading, begging, asking for 'loans', giveaways, tips for services, etc for any game. See #trading for alternatives.

[lament salmon]

yo guys, havent played the game since months. is there any new stuff to go in? as in new class or mechanics etc?

[final geyser]

There was a 0.2 update in April which added the Huntress, some new ascendancy classes, and Spears and Bucklers. It also brought in changes to the endgame and a number of random mechanics in endgame, like Rogue Exiles and Azmerian Wisps. 0.3 will be coming on August 29th, we don't know the details of what we'll get just yet but there's a chance that we'll get Druid.

[lean glen]

is there an easy way to share my current "build" ingame

[rose pike]

so it's the same league and game and there's no incentive to start a new character

[lament stone]

no 0.3 will be a new league with its own league mechanic that will not be available in standard

[rose pike]

ah. im just kind of burned out at lvl 88

[trim turret]

Then try a new build or wait for 0.3. Its quite common to stop at some point and just wait for the next league. Its pretty much their business model.

[rose pike]

I never fully understood the end game. I'm doing T15 maps, but I don't understand what comes after. How am I supposed to get these "keys" to fight these mega-bosses?

[stable pagoda]

New player here, could anyone offer some suggestions on which stash tabs to buy during this weekend's sale? If I am looking to play into endgame.

[trim turret]

Currency is the big one, upgrading one of your starter tabs to premium to make trading easier is another. Maybe a map/tablet tab for endgame content. Others are a judgement call.

[stable pagoda]

Got it thanks! A lot of players have been telling me to go for currency tab, going to buy it for sure

[lean flower]

Is there a reason theres only 9 wands under level 22 in the whole standar league...? That cost DIVINIES

[marble trench]

most people dont play in standard, they play in the new leagues

[native dust]

Looking for help in Freythorn dawn of the hunt

[final geyser]

Assuming you're looking for someone to actively help you ingame, https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714168576249887
Otherwise, it would be best if you described the issues you're facing so that people could give you advice based on that.

[native dust]

Thanks for the info. I just saw new player campaign help. Still getting used to this guide

I’m holding my own right now as a witch but I can feel things getting tougher and boss fights are getting increasingly harder

I’m very new to the franchise and as a former Diablo player this game is much more confusing. Should I be selling or disenchanting items?

What are favors and tribute points?

[noble tusk]

Favours and tribute is a reward system for a mechanic called Ritual.
Basically it goes like this: you beat enemies inside the circles (they are sacrificed to the ritual) then fight them again when you activate a ritual. The more you sacrifice - the more favours you get.

Then after that you can buy items with your favour.

[final geyser]

In campaign, you only get a small selection, but once you reach endgame, you will have a larger selection and more rewards specific to Ritual as a mechanic.

[native dust]

Ok. I get it. Is it a good idea to save my tribute points? Or are the tribute points only for the current event

[final geyser]

It's only for that zone.

[native dust]

Like do they roll over or are they exclusive to the event

[noble tusk]

Also as far as I remember the campaign version gives tribute rewards only after you beat the boss in the Freythorn.

[native dust]

Ok ok so spend what I have

Yeah I just beat him

This is the fist time I’ve seen it

[final geyser]

That is correct. This is different to how it works in endgame, where you can spend it from the first Ritual you complete, though some rewards only unlock after completing more.

[native dust]

Ok that makes sense

Is there a way to gain more tribute for a single event or does simply beating the event give me the max?

[noble tusk]

The idea is that you can attract more monsters inside the circle to sacrifice them.

[final geyser]

In campaign, just completing it is enough. In endgame, you will get some systems that can boost rewards from Rituals, but you don't need to worry about that for another 5 acts.

[native dust]

Ahhhh so the more I kill in the kill zone = more $$$

Ok so don’t worry about it until endgame basically

Basically I’m overthinking the early game shit but I really do appreciate the help

[final geyser]

You won't run into another one outside of the (Cruel version of) Freythorn until endgame anyway

[noble tusk]

Ye, it's not something you are going to do repeatedly in the Campaign.

[native dust]

Ok cool

Thank you I really appreciate the responses

One last thing. I’m guessing uncut gems are the best rewards to buy with the tributes?

Also I know I’m jabbering but I’m following a guide for a build that mentions “Withering Presence” but I can’t find it on the menu. Am I missing something?

[noble tusk]

Withering presence is a spirit skill, so you need a spirit gem. It's another gem type that can drop (though it's a bit more rare than skill gems and support gems).

[native dust]

Ahhhh

I’ll keep an eye out

[noble tusk]

But if you completed Freythorn you are supposed to get one at least.

[native dust]

Holy shit I just got one!!

Hahahaha

Just like you said lol

Glad I asked before I broke the skull

[noble tusk]

Oh yeah, that skull rewards you with a spirit gem and enough spirit (30) to equip one skill you can unlock by using the spirit gem.

[final geyser]

Just whatever you need. If you need another skill gem, or to level one up, then go for it.
