[hearty walrus]

you can check for updates

in the app

[mystic nexus]

Act 3 here we go, though it's funny how this ARPGs follow same environment since Diablo 2
Act 1 dark Eurpe-ish
Act 2 sand (though I have to say the sand antomsohere was awesome in this one)
Act 3 ..

[weary osprey]

why fix what's not broken

[gloomy mango]

any recommendations for builds with strong map clear? would like to stay away from deadeye LA if possible

[hearty walrus]

spark?

[ruby swallow]

im new to evasion character hwo do i stay alive? i feel like i just randomly die every step forward in step 2. my warrior was a 10x easiser

[noble summit]

anyone know a way to redeem this? rog doesnt seem to be in kingsmarch

[peak basin]

Monk?

[ruby swallow]

i actually find the game unplayable on evasion char, should I just stick w/ warrior

pathfinder

[ruby swallow]

Pathfinder

poison build real low dps too while super ssquishy. very unfun

[peak basin]

Level?

[ruby swallow]

22 actually nvmind ranger still

forgot i didn't ascend yet

[peak basin]

Well it's low af

u will get stronger later

[ruby swallow]

so for now what should I do just die every min?

[peak basin]

should run elec first

run elec

much stronger

for early

then later swap

[novel gazelle]

hmm weird, he was there when I traded mine. Maybe he's tied up with some quest

[ruby swallow]

oh i dont like that

guess ill just play warrior

[mystic nexus]

The atmospheres are top notch

[peak basin]

Then learn to dodge attacks and kite

[noble summit]

what was the reward?

[ruby swallow]

ya im doding kiting 24/7 atm

guess ill just do it more 😄

when does it get fun tho? like lvl 50+?

[novel gazelle]

a pearl amulet

[torn bough]

my tooltip damage didnt increase after allocing the companion damage ? the 4 12% companion nodes on th way i assumd would jus tincrease a bit on confused

it was 715 befor and after allocating

[wispy spindle]

anyone wanna go throught acts 3 and 4?

[jade bridge]

Nothing changes minion behavior in this right? LIke Feeding Frenzy vs. Meat Shield are only stat changes, not actual AI changes?

[ruby swallow]

this is the first time i can't kill Azerian the mini boss lol, on any class

i guess this is why next to no one makes it high level as pathfinder/poisons?

i dodge everything. its a dps race tho

and i have zdps 🙁

[trim turret]

How are your life and resist? Those are way more important than evasion early on.

[ruby swallow]

i never had to look at that ever before thi searly on any other class but uhh

guess ill take a look

[hearty walrus]

im doing good with poison bow Pathfinder

[ruby swallow]

what lvl?

i have the 3 poison skills

and his life goes lower than auto attacking on my warrior

lvl 23

[trim turret]

Life and resists should be ALL you're looking at early on, no matter your class.

[ruby swallow]

does this class become tankier later? this sucks

[ruby swallow]

how do i do this i dont know where to farm gear yet

[trim turret]

Its not about the class. Its the build.

[ruby swallow]

im using top build from poeninja

[trim turret]

You mean builds with expensive gear that provide no leveling advice and use items you can't get?

[hearty walrus]

im level 85 now. used gas arrow and vine arrow most of the campaign. looked at ninja, made some changes, dps probably trippled

[ruby swallow]

i use gass arrow and vines and toxic growth atm

sometimes poison arrow

its so low dps i can do more auto attacking i think lol

[ruby swallow]

i just put my points into evasion and poison nodes so far

[hearty walrus]

I switched to poisonburst and the dps is a lot more

[leaden iris]

is there a way to target farm rathas assault?

[trim turret]

Again, what are your resists and your life? Those are the most important stats on your gear.

[ruby swallow]

400 life and i think 20% of each resist

and zdps

[trim turret]

Are you using runes to improve your resists?

[leaden iris]

im not in ssf league but nobody's selling it

[ruby swallow]

my gear don't have holes

[trim turret]

Artificer's orbs add them.

[ruby swallow]

is there a pathfinder leveling guide maybe im using wrong supports

[trim turret]

How's your weapon?

[trim turret]

Picking a random poe.ninja build that is meant for endgame is always a bad idea.

[ruby swallow]

should i go evasion or es/ev

i dont know wha tto do on this calss no one plays it

like if i played bloodmage or deadeye i can google gorillion guides

[trim turret]

Either should be fine.

[azure lava]

I would give #1328202289755983932 a read. All builds basically want the same things in the campaign

[trim turret]

You haven't even picked an ascendancy yet. It isn't the class. Stop blaming the class. 30% of the community is playing Ranger right now.

[azure lava]

Resists, life, movement speed, good flasks, and a good weapon

[ruby swallow]

can I use AH if my warrior unlocked it

[azure lava]

Way more than 30%

[ruby swallow]

on alt

[ruby swallow]

aren' tthey LA

[azure lava]

It doesn't matter

[trim turret]

It doesn't matter.

[ruby swallow]

im using poison burst it does less dmg than my auto attack of warrior

my warrior i think i got to 50 almost eye sclosed while watching new Aliens tv show

[trim turret]

Then something is wrong with your build.

[ruby swallow]

feels very different

[azure lava]

Read the guide I linked. It has a section about what to look for in a weapon

[ruby swallow]

thanks

[azure lava]

My guess is your weapon is bad

[ruby swallow]

can I use AH on alt?

[azure lava]

No idea

[ruby swallow]

i just put it into poison nodes all the one sclose to starting so far

[azure lava]

Screenshotting your weapon and any unique (orange text) items you have equipped is the best bet. And also tell us your level

[ruby swallow]

i dont have any uniques

[azure lava]

And also list your main skills + support gems they have

[azure lava]

Good

I only asked so I could say, "Take those off"

[ruby swallow]

all i know is i miss leap slam and boneshatter 😄

[azure lava]

Win+shift+s to take screenshot

Paste here with ctrl+v

[trim turret]

We're trying to help, if you'd stop ignoring our questions.

[ruby swallow]

ok 1 sec

[glacial rune]

i'm leveling an alt: are the weapon pieces in act 4 on the same islands?

or is ti random somehow

[azure lava]

you're using a level1 bow base at 26

get any white bow from the vendor and it should do way more damage than yours

well

[ember mica]

they're the same islands. You can completely skip that one island tujen wants you to go to, Kedge bay. But you'll still want to, unfortunately, run isle of kin, because that unlocks the eye of hinekora, which unlocks the ancestral tattoos, mana, and the passives

[azure lava]

any bow with a level req closer to yours

specifically look at these numbers

you want a high physical damage for a poison build

[glacial rune]

what are the 3 islands? I'm taking notes as i lvl this alt and have done the prison and shrike

you go to arastas once you have all 3, correct?

[azure lava]

your quiver also offers you basically nothing in terms of damage. Poison doesn't crit and I'm pretty sure it doesn't care about your ele damage

[jade bridge]

can anyone tell me why I woke up today and my PoE2 has these funky scanlines?

ok wait they don't show up in a screenshot

[azure lava]

these?

oh

[ember mica]

shrike, whakapanu, and the prison

[dusky burrow]

poison does work with crit (this is poe2 ailments)

[jade bridge]

what a trip. on my screen I have scanlines, they don't actually look bad but I have no idea what enabled them

[azure lava]

oh, even with gas arrow/grenade?

I suppose it would

[ember mica]

yeah maybe take a pic with your phone or something. But it might be a GPU issue

[jade bridge]

huh, yeah it is all of windows on that monitor doing it

[glacial rune]

ok tyvm

[dusky burrow]

i checked wiki and it seems to say gas arrow cannot and gas grenade can, so now im somewhat confused

[jade bridge]

it actually looks very sick, like the best scanlines I've ever seen

I'm just confused why it started since I didn't change anything

[ember mica]

not to be alarmist, but it may just be an issue with your monitor or the GPU

maybe just try turning your monitor and PC off and on

[jade bridge]

see what I mean? It makes it look like Diablo 2 even more 😂

[ember mica]

Huh, it genuinely looks like a CRT filter lmao. You didn't download anything like that maybe?

[jade bridge]

It is like I've gone into low max colours mode as well or something

should I leave both of these on for PoE 2?

[trim turret]

That bow is terrible, some of your items have zero life or resists, your one ring is white rarity so hit it with a transmute and augment at the very least, and spend some artificer orbs and use some runes to improve your resists at least. When you get a better bow you can also add sockets and physical damage to that.

[tiny saffron]

Hollow Shattering Palm by p4wnyhof on mobalytics is it good for mapping

[lusty hinge]

Tbh I don't think that monitor is doing so hot

[jade bridge]

It is fairly new, only about a year old O_O

[lusty hinge]

Check the cables maybe, it's not normal to have scanlines on your monitor xD

[jade bridge]

Right? That is why I brought it up lol

swapping my displayport cables fixed it, but I kind of liked it

Multishot can't "shotgun" in this can it? Like if I have Skel Snipers with Multi II against a big enemy it will only count each attack once?

[dusky burrow]

short answer: no, it can't shotgun
long answer: if multiple projectiles created at the same time, only one of those projectiles can damage a given target. however, if those projectiles are fired in sequence (special behaviour of some skills), if those projectiles create aoe explosions (indirectly shotgunning), or the skill explicitly can shotgun, then you can shotgun.

[jade bridge]

So for example their poison gas clouds when created in a set of 3 can explode 3 times for overlapping damage, but their basic attack will not

I'm playing around with spicy doggo + gas cloud atm

[azure lava]

the poison clouds will not do more damage if they overlap

[jade bridge]

right, the poison won't, but the explosion will?

[azure lava]

but that's not related to shotgunning

explosion will yeah

[jade bridge]

If only there was a way to make the clouds land in a circle around where I click instead of in a line

I'm just at a crossroads I guess of figuring out if I like doggo explode more than I would like doggo +50% ignite magnitude from Frost Mages

[orchid patrol]

why do I not see anyone with arsonal skeletons anymore, did they nerf it?

[jade bridge]

Maybe just bored with it

[hearty walrus]

wait, demise is the command ability

[dusky burrow]

i think it mostly just got overshadowed by new stuff

[orchid patrol]

Hmmm does that mean it's not as op as it used to be?

all the guides I found are all skeleton sniper builds

[jade bridge]

How do you make Skel Storm mages shock stuff if they need a dead skeleton to create shocked ground? Like I guess you just don't run clerics with it?

[merry hamlet]

Do saphires/rubies/emeralds etc have a tab affinity so i can auto sort them?

[hearty walrus]

no

[merry hamlet]

sad alr

[azure lava]

Poison build feedback

[merry hamlet]

does herald of thunder not have a spirit cost? the rhoa takes 60, wind dancer takes 30 but i don't see anything on herald mentioning cost

[azure lava]

it reserves 30

[merry hamlet]

🤔 .

weird alr

i wonder why my build is using a spirit amulet then, the 190 total is more than enough -45 from my amulet would still cover my spirit costs

oh my body is 41, so something does have to have it

[trim turret]

Supports that increase the spirit cost?

[trim turret]

If their normal spells do lightning damage can't you give them supports that increase shock chance?

[jade bridge]

I guess so, I am not used to scaling shock so I wasn't sure if that would be enough to matter

[trim turret]

As long as they're doing enough damage and have shock chance they should do it. Unless there's some stat on them that prevents it.

[lofty hamlet]

hey guys im doing essence drain and contagion for campaign and am struggling to kill anything.

1. should I be wearing a staff/sceptre/wand? im an infernalist
2. should I just go into poe2 market and buy a better weapon if im doing low dmg?
3. for demon form, is there any items in specific that I can buy to make my life 10x easier?

[lusty hinge]

Staff should be fine, wand/focus is more levels generally (+chaos bolt is useful for withered if you don't have any other sources) I was using a staff because I didn't find better wands and it was just fine. For demon form you need life regen to counter the degen and that's kinda it

Unless you go uncapped and infernal flame + recoup which is another spensive story

[azure lava]

I'd give #1328202289755983932 a read to help with upgrades without trading. But if you're in act 4, no reason not to just get an insanely strong leveling weapon for very cheap

[echo rivet]

What does corrupting an amulet do

[hearty walrus]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Corrupted#Corruption_outcomes

[echo rivet]

For jewellery, no change. (This outcome is not removed by

Omen of Corruption
.)[confirmation needed]

It says this. Don't understand

[hearty walrus]

the omen part?

[echo rivet]

It says no change

[hearty walrus]

one outcome is that nothing will happen (besides adding the corrupted status)

[echo rivet]

Can other modifiers change?

[hearty walrus]

if that second option is chosen, yes

[echo rivet]

No change is just for socket?

[lusty hinge]

Yes because you can't have sockets on jewelry

[echo rivet]

I thought there's no risk

[hearty walrus]

there's always risk with corrupting

[echo rivet]

So still , there are chances a call can ruin a good item

[lusty hinge]

Very much so

[hearty walrus]

a 25% chance to ruin it yes

[echo rivet]

Aight. Would have tried if I had lots of money, gotta ignore vaal. XD

I thought for some reason no change means jewellery are immune to that wrong stuff

Ty

Another question

Which annoint is recommended for deadeye build La

[zinc owl]

How do I turn off the aim lock when using some skills? I had minor issues with it on my witch but it's causing me to die by not targetting enemies I'm aiming at on my ranger.

[merry hamlet]

is "Chance to gain a charge" better or worse then "Charges gained" on a charm?

[orchid patrol]

can someone teach me how to roll gears? like what should I look out for? do I just pick up random gears and start gambling?

[merry hamlet]

+30% to gain a charge compared to 60% charges gained, idk the base chance to gain charges or how many are usually gained so

[zinc owl]

The 'chance' one means more opportunities to gain a charge. The 'charges gained' means, when a charge is gained, it will gain 60% more charge from that occurrence.

[trim turret]

Look for life and resists on armor and relevant damage stats on your weapon, throw a transmute and augment occasionally at a decent base item of you get one, if you get two good mods, regal it. Essences do more targeted stat additions. Then you also have abyssal crafting and later, omens.

[merry hamlet]

i understand the 2 stats, but not the base amounts they're affecting or which is generally better

[trim turret]

But early its basically ground loot, cheap currency, occasionally add a socket and throw a rune in it.

[trim turret]

I don't think they're going to be different enough that you would notice a difference between the two.

[merry hamlet]

hope that's true, just spent 19X on a druation/chance silver charm those ice covered maps are attrocious

[orchid patrol]

thank you Mr.Totebag

when you say "early" for ground loot, does it count as early if im lvl 60?

[echo rivet]

What's the best annoint for l adeadeye.

Stormcharge or serrated edges?

[trim turret]

Nah by that point I think you'll probably be doing some more targeted crafting.

[orchid patrol]

That's what I wanted to learn

can you give me some pointers?

[trim turret]

I'm not the expert as I have had limited time to play this league.

[hearty walrus]

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

[trim turret]

Impossible to answer in a vacuum. You'd have to check in POB or see what your guide takes if you're using one.

[echo rivet]

Pob is showing more for serration but everyone suggesting storm surge that's why I dunno why all suggesting storm sugre

[trim turret]

Stormsurge or stormcharge? Both are on the tree.

[ruby swallow]

How do i farm thsoe items before i open AH

[trim turret]

You could go to any vendor and find a better base bow and craft on it. And you should have some artificers orbs and runes if you're level 22 or have played another character this league. Someone started a whole thread to help you.

[echo rivet]

Stormcharge oops

[ruby swallow]

i already got homework due tho lol, that all sounds like a job. i wish i could just use AH from lvl 1

alright ill get reading

[trim turret]

One is probably better than the other depending on your crit chance or other factors.

[trim turret]

The AH won't help you if you don't know basic stuff like how to look for better weapons or use runes. You asked for help in a help channel, don't complain that someone took their time to write it up for you.

[echo rivet]

Cc is just 27...
So dunno if I shd go for storm charged or serrated

[ruby swallow]

i dunno my warrior facerolled the campaign quite easily

without doing any of that, just bought good stuff

but yeah some classes are different so ill start reading

[tight olive]

how do i unlock mapping?

[hearty walrus]

having a better weapon for attack builds is super important

[hearty walrus]

finish the acts and interludes

[trim turret]

For maybe the fifth time, it isnt the class. Youre skipping basic stuff you should take into account for any build. Dunno how you got around it with the warrior.

[ruby swallow]

ok ill fix up my trree and gear

and add sockets and runes

Holy crap so the new trade works on alts.

Now I'm OP after 1 min lol

[gilded veldt]

Is there any beginner friendly builds, I'm starting a new character and want to do another class (did warrior to early maps, it wasn't feeling very good anymore). I'm unsure on class to go with and sorting through guides is really starting to drain me, especially on YouTube, and mobalytics seems to not have a lot of variance for each class really, everything is very meta, which is fine I suppose, it's just that a lot of them seem very hard to get into for a still new player.

[dusky burrow]

try not even looking at guides

and just jumping in

[gilded veldt]

Like making my own build? I've thought about it, I worry about doing a bad job and making the experience worse though.

I'm still very new really

I kind of want to do it actually, I just... Don't know where to even start lol

Intimidating as hell game, man

[dusky burrow]

it would amount to making a new character, and when you get your first uncut skill gem, just looking at the options and figuring for yourself which one looks the most useful/fun/etc.

[dusky burrow]

at the bloated miller, a.k.a. one step at a time

[gilded veldt]

I don't have tools like PoB available to me, so I can't really plan ahead in the passive tree, which I think is the more intimidating part really. I know the basic idea of look at the skill labels and then put passives that apply to it, is that really all there is to it?

And relevant gear stats

[dusky burrow]

you dont need to plan everything from the start

respec really isnt expensive

and you shouldnt need to respec too much anyway, as long as what you're doing is reasonable

[gilded veldt]

I see, maybe I'll give it a shot then. I'll look around the skills on my warrior and see what looks appealing. I suppose class class choice should boil down to relevant passives to the specific gem

[tacit elk]

Do companions count as minions in poe 2

[hearty walrus]

yes

[bold tundra]

any way to actually have the hammer of kamasa appear? when its supposed to or is it a waste of time, its bugged.

[hearty walrus]

have you unlocked the reforging bench this league on any character?

[merry hamlet]

does the amethyst charm go over cap or is it just a bonus when you don't have enough chaos res?

[hearty walrus]

it doesn't go over cap

[merry hamlet]

damn, idk what 3rd charm to use then, one for slow one for freeze

i always assumed that 18% was going to be flat res when it procced uncapped

[ember mica]

stun is generally good

[limber falcon]

is the undying hate of tecrod timless jewel not on the poe2 trading website?

i cant seem to find it anywhere.

[ember mica]

plenty of them, you're probably typing something in wrong

just type "tecrod" in the stat filter and choose the one that shows up

But also probably not the place to be asking this, as the timeless jewels are a lategame thing, not something you'd even consider in campaign

[craggy furnace]

how am i supposed to get more explosives on plunderes point?

[hearty walrus]

you don't

you get however much they give you

[sharp galleon]

Hey guys, new to the game. Unfortunately I've no permissions to attach screenshots here. Using the ranger build from maxrolls in path of building. Level 11 at the moment. But I've No idea where to go to next on the build, as all the nodes are lit up and I can only select early/mid game map.

Anyway, I went north and took reservation mastery. So now do I go south and take Balistics/Heart of oak etc or go east and grab the evasion/elementary mastery first? Hope this makes sense, Cheers!

[hearty walrus]

which ranger build?

[sharp galleon]

lightning-arrow-deadeye-league-starter

[hearty walrus]

can you link it?

[sharp galleon]

https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/lightning-arrow-deadeye-league-starter

[hearty walrus]

oh. you're in a poe2 channel

but to answer your question

[sharp galleon]

Oh shit, sorry guys!

[hearty walrus]

you want the levelign tab

then you can click the +/- next to the level or the arrows here

[sharp galleon]

Ahh I see, i has it level by level! Weirdly enough the map here to follow is different than the PoB they've attached for this build: https://pobb.in/NFM-9lyZ50QU

[hearty walrus]

i think the maxroll guide is probably more up to date

[sharp galleon]

So I've bricked my character by following the PoB lol

[sharp galleon]

and thanks, appreciate all the help 🙂

[hearty walrus]

it's not bricked. you can refund points

[sharp galleon]

Yeah I have two, just need to get 10. I'm sure I'll get them eventually, I'll just start from now to follow the maxrolls guide. Cheers 🙂

[hearty walrus]

you can respec with gold

[sharp galleon]

Interesting, i didn't know that. I'll check that out

[orchid patrol]

do I want to upgrade at all time?

is there even a benefit of using the lesser version?

[hearty walrus]

some lesser ones are actually worth a lot

[dusk mortar]

What does quality do on herald of thunder?

[orchid patrol]

any shield warriors in here that can help? Do I go for any of these?

[dusk mortar]

Huh, weird. not showing any of that on mine.

Oh, it's only from the gemcutting menu.

[azure lava]

If you just want to know what other people are using, I'd check out poeninja and check what spirit gems people are using alongside shield skills

[orchid patrol]

okie

[ruby swallow]

Okay, i twinked out my character with way better gear and uhh i still do zdp. I'm starting to think its just the skill combo and its why the PF thread told me to just use LA until higher level

[hearty walrus]

i used poison just fine the entire campaign

[ruby swallow]

what is a skill combo u used

maybe im just not doing the right order

[hearty walrus]

vine arrow and gas arrow

and plague bearer

[ruby swallow]

oh i need to get gass arrow still

[novel gazelle]

what, no way. I never would have thought

[ruby swallow]

what supports in plague bearer?

[hearty walrus]

for damage, i have heft, deadly poison II and chaos mastery

then magnified area I and astral projection

[ruby swallow]

wow i can't kill thsoe 2 birds lol they drain my mana, what is the trick? its the mini bosses elites

i remember 2 shotting themon my warrior but im on a weaker build atm so its rough

[hearty walrus]

poisonburst does more poison damage than gas arrow and thus also builds plague bearer faster

[ruby swallow]

And you did same dps as other builds?

my warrior does auto attack way higher dps, forget the stun combo that 1 shots elites

while I'm here kiting for a minute or two

[hearty walrus]

i have no idea how my dps compared to other builds

[ruby swallow]

oh

this is kinda like watching paint dry in comparison

[hearty walrus]

https://pobb.in/DLdeK3qQX_Ns this is my current build

[ruby swallow]

and i can't really progress

i might just stay on warrior

2 shottin everything and taking no dmg is fun

[orchid patrol]

should I upgrade this?

[merry hamlet]

can you change the tattoo quest reward you selected? from act 4

[raw marsh]

La guide says to use rhoa for the companion notes but dont i get increased damage from it anyways without using the rhoa?

[bright dagger]

Is this league almost over chat?

[hearty walrus]

2 more months i think

[hybrid star]

like 3 and a half?

[bright dagger]

Thank you guys

[hearty walrus]

3 is more accurate

[bright dagger]

Could you provide a link for the POE updates by any chance?

[hearty walrus]

https://www.pathofexile.com/

[bright dagger]

Thank you appreciate it

Last question have they given out anymore rewards for the people that preordered the game since lunch?

[hearty walrus]

have they given any?

[bright dagger]

Yuh

[hearty walrus]

i don't remember what they've given

[bright dagger]

All good thanks

[hybrid star]

and it's not preordering the game will be free at 1.0 launch

[brazen walrus]

Ok so im doing like a ice only build (monk class) any recommendations for spells that would pair well with this style besides the starter monk ones (not looking for anything super hard)

[hearty walrus]

spells specifically? or do you mean skills?

[brazen walrus]

Well uh any tbh

I just got ice of herald

So I have right now herald of ice ice nova glacial cascade and frozen locus

[storm oak]

I would try out ice strike in place of glacial cascade if you have or when you unlock it, seems to scale really well

I'm personally going for a hollow palm (No weapon) ice strike invoker (monk ascendancy)

[brazen walrus]

Yeah I saw the skill for it on the passive tree but im not super good at builds in these kinds of games and it looks stat complicated

[brazen walrus]

How can you tell what it scales with

[hearty walrus]

the tags at the top of the gem

[storm oak]

Dw I'm not good at this stuff either, this is my first playthrough, I'm not following a build guide (which is not advised) and I consider myself pretty dumb >:)
I just went to poe.ninja and spent some time narrowing down things, here's what I ended on, might be too narrow but I'm happy with it link, link is fucking massive so I linked it to the word

I'm just following the red on the skill tree heat map and the high % picks, currently in Act 4 and haven't got stuck or felt like my build was bad so far, I transitioned from glacial cascade to ice strike 2 days ago.

There are ice strike leveling build guides online, maxroll for example, that you could reference
They have a mix of ice/lightning skills though

[hearty walrus]

i'd be a little careful following ninja as almost all those are finished characters with expensive gear

[merry hamlet]

i assume the quality is adding to the Armour/Evas but is the rune also?

wondering if i should get another piece without the rune/quality which would be more

[storm oak]

There should be another energy sheild number below this I think if this is trade

Shows what the max es is with quality

[meager galleon]

Yes, quality is improving es, and yes you should get a better item at some point, although that one is quite good

More es will be more expensive tho

[digital cairn]

are the stash on sale yet?

[merry hamlet]

that's the one i want to buy, very few items under a div\

[hybrid star]

right now

[storm oak]

Yes right now, ends soon I think

Not all stash tabs but most are on sale

[meager galleon]

If it's better then what you have, I think it's a good buy

[brazen walrus]

Thanks bro just saw this

[digital cairn]

is there a priority guide?

[meager galleon]

Currency, merchant, map (waystone)

Then depending on what you do the most

[merry hamlet]

well i'm converting from evasion to hybrid under the fubgun build so he says to get "as much energy shield as you can" for the helmet since it's the main source, but then im losing so much other stuff, a similar piece had 320 ES but with no rarity and only one resistance

[meager galleon]

Go for less hp then

[merry hamlet]

30 ES, -34 res, -140 life

[torn bough]

do i just select th eone i want and its done? i activated the global defences one i think but not sure what to do now

i assume this is a perminant buff ?

[meager galleon]

If these are the options, first one was way better

[torn bough]

adn then after im confused cause i think ve gone everywhree and killed everthing in this area

[meager galleon]

You can switch that one zero

[torn bough]

im assumign im screwing something up i cant figure out how t get there ive been everywhere na dkilled evryrthing

[storm oak]

Depends on what you need for the most part, but

Currency stash tab 100%

If you want to trade in anyway then at least upgrade a tab to premium (different from getting a premium stash tab) and get a merchants tab (this one doesn't appear to be on sale, not sure if it has one though)

After that people get a maps tab for endgame and/or a quad tab

[meager galleon]

But yeah permanent, but changeable

[hearty walrus]

did you go the the areas on the bottom part of the world map?

[torn bough]

oh no the otehr zones? i need to clear those first?

[hearty walrus]

screenshot the second interlude map?

[torn bough]

im heading to the bottom one now since its not done

[hearty walrus]

yep

[storm oak]

What exactly is interlude?
Just a unfinished act 5?

[digital cairn]

is "Guild" just an extra naming? so Guild Currency tab is same as the currency tab you're saying?

are gem tabs not good?

[storm oak]

I believe it's a different tab dedicated to your guild, different from the currency stash tab that is just for you, I haven't yet discovered a guild so maybe someone else can pitch in on this

[storm oak]

Only if you plan on playing/experimenting with multiple different builds imo

[hearty walrus]

temporary short acts until they finish the remaining acts

[graceful holly]

help! which powered zealot was the top one everyone uses? theres soo many different varients

[quick pike]

the one with spark in the skill gem tab

I had to get 4 of them to find one with spark

[graceful holly]

thank you!

[proud raft]

hi guys what are the top 2 spectre right now?

[misty tiger]

Is there a good video or guide on what you'd generally want on your armor in terms of defenses and passives? I'm playing a monk

[quick pike]

frozen mandibles and powered zealot ,it's tried both on my hcssf character and with bad gear the powered zealots do more dmg for me

[proud raft]

is powered zealot the one that deal lightning damage?

[quick pike]

yes , but you would need to find one with the skill spark , I had to try 4 times to find one

[proud raft]

are they from act 3?

[quick pike]

no , interlude Etched Ravine

[proud raft]

oh, I am not that far into the game yet. I am only in act 3

[native coral]

how do you get vaal minion bombers?

[proud raft]

I think the one you after is called vaal guard, that is near the end of act 3 after the time travel

[native coral]

okie

[boreal quartz]

hey there which stash tabs are the most worth getting after getting a currency/map stash tab?

[hearty walrus]

merchant

then socketables and gems

[boreal quartz]

alr and then after that?

wait I just bought a merchant's tab and I don't see one in my stash

[hearty walrus]

it's not in your stash. it's with an npc in your hideout, after you've gotten one in act 4

[boreal quartz]

Ah gotcha

[tacit dome]

How to get more mana ? I run out so fast

Is there any mana leech type effect

[hearty walrus]

there is

[hybrid star]

for attacks there is mana leech on weapons, rings or gloves

[tacit dome]

but I'm a chrono mage >.<

[hybrid star]

well then ig you can get more maximum mana, you regen 4% of max mana per second, and invest on mana regen on your passive tree

[proud raft]

with minion build which ascendance is better? lich or infeniolist?

[hybrid star]

both are viable, infernalist is the general choice

[proud raft]

are you able to explain the different between the 2 ascendance?

[tacit dome]

Which items drop more maximum mana ? Amulet ?

[hybrid star]

I think ghazzyTV has a video on this

[tacit dome]

its kinda ironic lich isn't best at minions

[hybrid star]

you can get max mana on every item slot

[tacit dome]

oh nice

I have around only 700 mana atm, mapping isn't a issue but boss drains all in 5 sec

[merry hamlet]

watching a crafting guide, this dude has a price checking overlay? anyone know what this is?

[hearty walrus]

poe overlay

[proud raft]

oh he said infernolist is more glass cannon and lich is more a defensive play style

maybe i should go lich, I am not good at dodging

[tacit dome]

Yeah that's why I went chrono

also to support my friend killing ubers

[proud raft]

more defensive play style?

[tacit dome]

Chrono is dio

You can time stop and time rewind

[hearty walrus]

dio?

[boreal quartz]

character from an anime

[hearty walrus]

ah

[wide vine]

With this, does mana regen still work? or does it become a useless stat.

Becuse "no inherent" mana regen can be read as your defult mana regen is gone? but what about mana regen from tree?

[plucky snow]

logic tells me that your base mana regen is replaced with 6% of max hp mana regen, which is increased by other mana regen passives same as always

[azure lava]

Your inherent mana regen is 4% of your max mana regenerated per second. That gets replaced by 6% of your max life per second. Mana regen nodes still function identically, but work from that new base rate.

[lilac shale]

Hi! I got an issue !
I reinstalled POE2 by steam but it keep crash when i start it !
I press the start button, it runs, but any window open, any crash report...
I checked the files, unistalled and reinstalled but i got the same issue
I also got my pilots uprgraded...
Please help

[dense niche]

can someone carry me through the rest of act 3

[quick pike]

try a different gpu driver

[lilac shale]

I'm a monkey with computer... How do i do that ?

[quick pike]

first thing you need to find what graphics card you have, nvidia or amd and the name of the gpu , google gpu z and download gpu z from techpowerup(first result) if you don't already know what gpu you have

[lilac shale]

already done. I have a nvidia and i upgraded the last version of my pilots

[quick pike]

hmm I've seen some people say they have problems with the latest nividia driver 581.29 , you could try an older version like 581.08

[lilac shale]

how do i do that ?

[quick pike]

you just google nvidia 581.08 download first result from the nvidia website

the crash might be because the renderer is on Dx12 , I would try vulkan , check on the driver windows is installed the documents folder , my games-path of exile 2 and there's a file poe2_production_Config dot ini ,open that and search renderer_type see which one it is , if it's Dx12 change it to renderer_type=Vulkan then save the file , it might not crush

[topaz junco]

#2┃looking-for-group this channel is for questions about how the game works and such

[echo rivet]

Anybody who knows pob2, can they tell if there's a way I can upload tree and it will suggest me better pathing or nodes? If so, then how?

[tacit dome]

does mind over matter reduces mana regen from remnants or flask?

[quick pike]

no such thing ,the only thing it shows is the shortest way to a point

[next ledge]

Looking for thr Gargantuan Wasp to tame. Wiki and DB both say that is spawns in Ashen Forest and Ive been resetting the instance for over an hour with no spawn. Did it get removed or something

[quick pike]

hmm this person is using it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS_Tw_qVMwg video from 2 days ago

[next ledge]

Yes, But im wondering if it was moved not removed sorry

Cant find anything on it

[echo rivet]

Got it.

[lilac shale]

i can't find the file
And the driver nvidia you gave me dont change a thing

overlapping icons is a known bug?

or do i fix it smh

[supple quail]

i guess it isnt

[quiet furnace]

hello guys are there some mandatory items in the microtransaction shop which i should get ? or is it just qol/comsmetics?

[trim turret]

Every three weeks there's a sale on stash tabs and there are a few that undoubtedly will make your life easier and also have you covered for a long time unless you hoard garbage.

Currency tab, merchant tab, map tab are the big ones. Others at your discretion depending on what you feel like you need.

[quiet furnace]

thank you !

[upper pasture]

Is this a known bug? killed this lava boss and it doesn't drop the hammer the quest is talking about

[daring dragon]

Works for me, clear your filter then try again.

[quick pike]

if you've got the reforging bench he won't drop the hammer

[daring dragon]

Only once per league

[supple quail]

it fixed
maybe there was bigger delay than i thought

[quiet furnace]

hello guys where can i find support gems ? or is it random?

[topaz junco]

Random drops but a few quests do give them as rewards

[upper pasture]

Uh how do I get it again? Can't do this quest?

[quiet furnace]

thank you

[daring dragon]

You not getting the hammer means you already did this quest on another char and already got the bench.

There is no need to do it again.

[upper pasture]

Ohhhh, okay got it got it so I can just skip it.

ty

[daring dragon]

Exactly

[upper pasture]

Cool

[quiet furnace]

i have a question about gear is it random stat rolled or can i find specific gear somewhere because i try to follow a maxroll guide for leveling

[trim turret]

Gear is randomly generated.

What guide?

[quiet furnace]

Minion Army Infernalist Build Guide

the guy has gear for campaign / early game / mid game / late game / min max
but if its random i guess i cant follow that

[quick pike]

you can find specific gear by trading

you do find drops on the ground with stuff like life ,resistance, + to skills and you can make that gear better with crafting

[trim turret]

Well for campaign you're basically just looking for life and resists on armor, movement speed on boots, and roughly the right weapons. It doesn't have to be an exact match.

[quick pike]

crafting in this league is really good , using essence ,the new desecrated currency , you can check vendors for gear too, I've found a +3 wand to chaos spells and then I've crafted it further

[quiet furnace]

ah okay thank you all

[quick pike]

as infernalist I've always found a +1 scepter to all minions from vendors first

[trim turret]

Yeah check vendors, don't be afraid to throw some cheap crafting currency at items. Transmutes, augments.

[meager galleon]

man, i threw that spam out few days ago in adifferent server

[quiet furnace]

yeah he got hacked scammers are stealing discord accounts at the moment^^

[raw marsh]

So it looks like rhoa is tier 14 skill and companions start in act 3. Is tame beast and rhoa completely different things oe connected?

[lament stone]

they are different things

[raw marsh]

Well im in interlude part 3. Should I have found the tameable beast by now? I cleared all of act 3...

[lament stone]

its a skill gem

[wild hedge]

First time Mercenary here, i'm currenly level 10, using frost and armor piercing bolt but it feels extremely clunky

Is that just how it is?

Reload times are big etc and damage is low af

[dusk mortar]

For leveling... make sure you're grabbing all the flat damage you can at that level. Otherwise, I think the recommendation is to use High Velocity Round, flash grenades and galvanic shards for acts 1-2.

[wild hedge]

Hmm..

Thanks!

[dusk mortar]

Throw some flame wall and herald of thunder for extra damage

[dusk mortar]

Honestly, I'd try a leveling build, some things just... don't work at certain levels. So having something that has leveling breakpoints helps a lot.

[azure lava]

Tame beast is a spirit gem. You use the skill it grants on a beast and, if it dies within the time allotted by the gem, you tame it. It morphs the spirit gem into a skill that summons that beast companion and reserves a % of your spirit

[misty fern]

Btw what the currency in these box mean?

[ember mica]

That's an orb of transmutation and an alchemy orb. You can read what they do. But them on the strongbox means you can click the picture of the orbs and use an orb on the strongbox to make it harder/more rewarding. Basically "craft" the strongbox

[misty fern]

ohh i had no clue its for that, thanks!

[trim turret]

The display is based on what you currently have in your inventory.

[trim turret]

Grenades don't share a reload with the ammo skills so its sometimes good to mix them in. But armor piercing rounds and permafrost rounds also don't synergize well by default. Permafrost and fragmentation is a good combo. Freeze and explode. Frag rounds get a huge damage bonus against frozen enemies.

[wild hedge]

Thanks!!

[quiet furnace]

Hello does any one have a warrior with a 2h sword and could tell me if its holded like the end boss from act 1 does ?

[fair hare]

Hey everyone, I decided to use a loot filter, just not sure which one to install? Any recommendations please?

[daring dragon]

Neversink filterblade is popular, or any other neversink filter.

[fair hare]

Thank you so much

[fleet horizon]

I'm having a weird issue with filters, I add them, but it seems the poor items are not being hidden, the good ones are making songs and having the style different but others are still there

[raw marsh]

Can I do whatever level tame beast and then level it up or do I have to catch a high level beast?

[ember mica]

Well that depends on what filter you're using and how strict it is. Neversink's filter progresses with you throughout the campaign and into endgame. Like it'll show you stuff like single wisdom scrolls up to a certain point, and start filtering them out later in progression. But it's also worth considering that even stuff like white bases and magic bases have uses, and are sometimes even worth money on their own. Not really the case during the campaign, but still good to see a lot of stuff overall

In the endgame, filters at a certain strictness will start to completely hide bad bases. But during the campaign, you might need a white crude bow because you can throw a transmute and aug on it

[fleet horizon]

I didn't know that the filters changes based on the progression, I'm using the strict one, but that makes sense, tks

[quiet furnace]

is warrior able to play 2 handed swords?

or only the mace?

[ember mica]

Swords aren't in poe 2 yet

[quiet furnace]

ugh okay thank you :/

[ember mica]

But in general, every class can use every weapon and armour in the game

so when swords are added, yes warrior will be able to use them, alongside every other class

[quiet furnace]

thats good to know

[meager galleon]

all that matters for gear and skills too is just having the stats to pass requirements

so if you pick up enough int as a warrior, you can be a mage ¯_(ツ)_/¯

probably wont be great, but you can do it

[final geyser]

And knowing how PoE goes, it may turn out that it's actually better to use Swords with some specific Warrior ascendancy instead of the Duelist ones, so yeah.

[quiet furnace]

i see thank you very much i am looking forward to the sword^^

[raw marsh]

This is PoE. Sword might be good on witch. Probably not Ranger though...

[final geyser]

I know, I pointed out specifically that Swords may turn out to be best on a class that isn't thematically associated with them.

[dense mirage]

trade market only being available in A4 makes me sad

[raw marsh]

I was thinking 2h sword which historically was used by Marauder in poe1 which is basically Warrior with a different name.

[final geyser]

Technically, it's associated with Duelist even there

And Marauder will be in PoE2, associated with Axes where Warrior is associated with Maces.

[frozen igloo]

where do people get the weird string of letters to paste into npc shops for searching for decent items?

[quick pike]

regex , you can search for poe2 regex , first result

[misty seal]

is the lesser currency (like lesser Exalteds from the campaign) used later?

should I save them?

like before

[quick pike]

normal exalts ? trades are still made with them too

in softcore trade I've used some on gear , but not really worth using them in campaign

[dense mirage]

best early use is to buy better gear near the end of the campaign i would say

[misty seal]

hoard like a Dragon it is

[charred lily]

guys whats the best build to go with for witch ? as a new player here

[quick pike]

both infernalist summoner or lich essence drain contagion are great

[charred lily]

i saw the
Chaos Minions

[quiet furnace]

are the suport gems realy that rare i have no the neversink- 1regular filter and completed 2 maps and still have no support gems

[hearty walrus]

early on in the campaign they are

neversink never hides uncut gems

[upper pasture]

So I beat act 3 and accidentally didn't put the sacrifitial heart in the thing, now I'm just starting act 4, but I can't see any possible way to get to Aggorat, which is where it needs to be done, not on waypoints or anything. I obviously need the 2 skill points, anyone know how to get back to there?

[hearty walrus]

go back to act 3 and go through the gateway

[upper pasture]

I can't, not available anymore

[quiet furnace]

ah okay do you perhaps know when they will drop more frequently?

[hearty walrus]

there's no specific part in the campaign they start dropping more. there are some guaranteed drops during the campaign

[trim turret]

Many optional encounters and quests in zones reward them. But two areas, especially if you're still right at the beginning isn't very far.

[daring dragon]

There is a way to get back, this was asked very frequently back at early access launch, Google for a solution and you will find it.

[upper pasture]

Yeah, but the info I'm finding involved cruel difficulty. That's not available anymore either.

[daring dragon]

True that

There must be a way back tho

[quick pike]

go to act 4 and tp to act 3 , the portal to the past is there, I had the sacrificial heart in my inventory too

[upper pasture]

Ohhh, okay let me try

I was like, did i brick my char lmao, need those passive poitns

[quiet furnace]

is there a website where i can see the quest and mechanic which reward the support gems?

[daring dragon]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/campaign-loot-normal

[trim turret]

Just do all side quests and explore. There aren't that many and they start dropping as you go.

[upper pasture]

Thank u

Can I use the same weapons in weapon swap 1 & 2 to get rid of this spirit error?

[hearty walrus]

I heard you can assign just one weapon to both sets

[crude sentinel]

How though? I cant seem to get it to work lol

[hearty walrus]

idk how to do that. I haven't looked at it yet

[hearty walrus]

dodging

[charred lily]

i will get it no worries

[iron cargo]

Could someone please help me understand a node on the invoker tree?

[hearty walrus]

sure

[iron cargo]

It says, critical hits ignore non-negative enemy monster elemental resistances

[thin sun]

I'm trying to play through my minion inferalist, but I can't see any DPS stats on my minions. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong?

[hearty walrus]

so, you can make enemy resistances go below 0 like with elemental weakness and exposure. with that node, any resistances above 0 will be treated as 0

[iron cargo]

Is this good? It sounds kinda odd. How do I know if Ive critical hit?

[hearty walrus]

it is good if you're not reducing enemy res

you can check your skill's crit chance in the skill info window

[iron cargo]

As far as I know im not 😆 im following a guide but its all still a bit confusing

[hearty walrus]

not all minions' stats might be in the game yet

[iron cargo]

Apparently my main skill has a 8.6% crit hit chance

[thin sun]

Hmm. Its even missing from the base "Skeletal Warrior" as well tho. Which comes from from the standard rattling septor.

[hearty walrus]

are you in town?

[thin sun]

Yes...

[hearty walrus]

that could be the issue

[thin sun]

Yup -- Right on. That was it. Glad I asked! Thought it might be me when I didn't see any other posts about it recently. Seemed too big of an issue to be a bug and not talked about. That said.. having a "you must be outside a town to see details" would be a great addition.

But now it makes sense, I have no minions spawned in town, so it can't calculate..

Yay, so happy now I can actually figure out if fiddling w/ all this gear actually helps or hurts. Thank you! @hearty walrus

[gloomy mango]

stats show properly in your hideout if you have one already

[iron cargo]

I just got a node (in ascendancy) with +12% critical chance.. it went up to 9.6%..?

[final geyser]

But also, be sure to click on the actual skills that they use, like the 'Basic Attack' tab for that particular Spectre.

[thin sun]

Trying to finish up the campgine, but hit a wall in act3 and need to fix some gear. My damage is just too low all of a sudden.

[thin sun]

Yeah, I was looking all around. No "blue" text like I was used to seeing in previous season. For a while I thought it was because I was in controller mode. But yeah, being in town was the issue. As soon as I went into a zone I got the #s I was missing before.

[hearty walrus]

thats 12% increased crit chance. not +12% to crit chance

increased crit chance is a multiplier to your base crit chance

[iron cargo]

Ahhh

That makes sense

[hearty walrus]

for attacks, the base crit chance is on your weapon

[iron cargo]

I don't have a weapon equipped

[hearty walrus]

for spells, the base chance is on the gem

[gloomy mango]

for spells, you can see the base crit in the description at the top

[iron cargo]

For some reason its not listed there for most of my spells. I had to press advanced info to find it

[quiet furnace]

Hello i want to play a warrior 2 hand which is not dying on an instant which ascendancy build should i follow ?

im using the tame beast for buffs /companion dps buffs only, using loyalty for qol, what should i link to it for its most uptime without using brutus brain?

not high enough level to use brain yet

meat shield last gasp?

[gloomy mango]

probably just all the tank stuff (meat shield / last gasp / elemental army / +lvl to gem)

[torn bough]

ty , not super familiar witha llt he gems in poe 2

[gloomy mango]

obviously, when you can, just plop brain in and your good

[wild hedge]

Is this unique bait? I see all the fancy stuff but the base damage is ultra dogshit, no?

[hearty walrus]

there might be some tech with it. other than that, it's something you can equip at level 1

[wild hedge]

I'm level 16, idk if i should get it..

Probably not

yeah ialready got one just waiting for the level

[radiant mesa]

i've just found out that the game has four acts, and the fourth just came out, so how have u guys playing that long only with 3 acts? i'm curious

[hearty walrus]

there was a 'cruel difficulty' which had you go through acts 1-3 again

[gloomy mango]

we had to redo all of act1-3

[twin nest]

In 0.1 and 0.2 it was 1-3 then cruel 1-3

[quiet furnace]

Hello i want to play a warrior 2 hand which is not dying on an instant which ascendancy build should i follow ?

[radiant mesa]

like new game plus while keeping ur lvl or lvl reset?

[gloomy mango]

ng+

[twin nest]

No same thing, but harder

You keep leveling up

[radiant mesa]

so u did like act 1 and 2 again but lvl,50 or something?

[hearty walrus]

1, 2, and 3 again

and act 1 cruel started at looks like 33-ish

[twin nest]

You do acts 1,2,3 then acts 1,2,3 in cruel

[radiant mesa]

i see, that's kinda crazy

[twin nest]

Well it is how it is

[hearty walrus]

poe 1 used to have 3 difficulties

[radiant mesa]

i thought would be like a special endgame place, so the endgame is the same but just harder

[hearty walrus]

endgame is a whole separate thing

[trim turret]

Any ascendancy can do that. Being tanky and using two handed weapons has nothing to do with your ascendancy.

[trim turret]

Any decent rare at that level will be better. Even a decent blue.

[torn bough]

is this worth pickup up? 4 points for either accuracy for damage plus the ally node?

im just running a tamemd beast for buffs

i was assuming its pretty big

galvanic shards/shockburst merc

[austere dune]

Thing is there is a bug for this fight even though more than 2 weeks passed, they didnt fix it.
Bug is if you die during Kulemak fight in any moment, he loses his HP bar so you are going to fight him without that information.
Since it's super awkward and I went completely blind into this fight, I didnt know if he is in invunerable phase or what is happening.
Later I have killed him 5 times and didnt drop anything good so I move on.. Please GGG fix this bug if you die during the fight, he doesnt have HP bar and that is super annoying.

Since I didnt know fight I died literally 20 times "waiting" for his phase to end, but there was no phase 😄

[ancient canopy]

is there a way to use the weapon skill of a weapon set on the same bind when you swap weapon set

[upper pasture]

I'm kinda confused, aside from passive skill points, is there a way to get this even higher?

[chilly verge]

75% if u choose warbringer

[upper pasture]

And also, I chose titan as my ascendency, but I think warbringer would be better right if trying to do a build that does damage based on block % right?

I got to a very weird point with my build, I like where it's going, I chose titan because I'm doing like big aoe damage with shield wall, shield charge/sunder, but I'm kinda stuck on how to bring my boss damage up... And how to maximize this

I should probably go to build help actually lol 😛

[orchid patrol]

what's the blue circle around the skill?

[trim turret]

Ancestrally boosted.

[orchid patrol]

what does that mean?

[trim turret]

Its an effect that can be on slam or strike attacks that makes them more powerful.

[orchid patrol]

how do I get that?

sorry for the dumb questions

[trim turret]

Depends on the build. Support gems, ascendancy, there are a couple methods.

[orchid patrol]

okok

[hard blade]

Should I get energy shield or life?

[heady prairie]

item is pretty bad. makes little difference

[hard blade]

Yea im a grind exalted orbs for my lightning minion arc storm weaver build

I have a slight idea on gear spirt life high energy shield and mana oh and i still need a decent scepter

[ruby swallow]

can't remmeber how do i get to trial of Suckma

oh nvmind i see

[hard blade]

Why is nothing popping up for minion damage?

[hearty walrus]

it's 'allies in your presence deal increased damage'

[hard blade]

Ah thanks

Is this decent?

My current scepter

Is it an upgrade or nah

[hybrid star]

At level 52 you should get one with a few minion levels

[hard blade]

K

Im only running skeletal storm mages

[upper pasture]

Guys how come when I warcry then do any other attack it goes on cooldown, but it's not doing it for sunder, I think it's not empowering sunder?

[uneven field]

does anyone have a good regex for highlighting good tablets and maps

[orchid patrol]

how do I check my skill speed?

[heady prairie]

i would use a calculator

[rapid crescent]

Not sure if this is the correct channel to post it, but is this bugged? I cannot seem to go to the tower and the option to add the waystone is not popping up. Is there a workaround or I need to go to a different area instead? Thanks.

[hearty walrus]

#2┃after-acts-help

[misty tiger]

I'm trying to trade and it's saying that

I don't have the required quest state to trade

[hearty walrus]

you need to have gotten your hideout in 1ct 4

to use the instant buyout trade system

[misty tiger]

I see

dang

[trim turret]

In the gem menu the additional info should show the attack/cast speed of each skill.

[hard blade]

So wait I noticed that my minions can still shock but not the player if that's correct?

[hearty walrus]

with fulmination?

that just means fulmination itself can't shock

[orchid patrol]

which one should I choose?

[hearty walrus]

any. it's just a random rare

[orchid patrol]

ty

[upper pasture]

Cam anyone tell me why this spirit buff isn't working? I have enough spirit for it.

[orchid patrol]

is this worth taking?

[orchid patrol]

hover over the gems to see red texts

[upper pasture]

I did, I don't see any red texts.

Ohhhh, on another spirit gem

Got it, damn

[twin nest]

Level 90+ maybe?

If you are in acts it wont do anything at all

Its 5% increased, so if you make lets say 500 random number you make a big extra 25 xp

[opal thistle]

What is the difference betweemn +# to max energy shield and +% increased max energy sheild and +% Total increased max energy shield? The wording is confuising

[twin nest]

To max energy is flat

Increased max is calculated with your base item stats

Total not sure

I still get confused 🫠

Maybe someone can explain better

[hybrid star]

are you seeing "total" in the trade site?

[opal thistle]

yeah

In the market panel

[hybrid star]

it's just a pseudo search for % increased

[twin nest]

Ah okay

I am not crazy then, thought I was missing something

[opal thistle]

Ah, ok thanks

[sudden cairn]

Hey! Can i get a witch leveling guide using ed and contagion please

[gloomy mango]

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

[twin nest]

Man went from monk to lich damn

[sudden cairn]

melee is not for me man

going to my bread and butter caster love

[twin nest]

Well we never had the chance to fix your build but yeah its not for everyone

[sudden cairn]

i tried but melee is just really not me

[upper pasture]

This game is amazing bro

[quartz cedar]

Hello, I got a silver coin after fighting yama the white

but now it's gone from my inventory

i'm not sure what happened 😅

[twin nest]

its a quest, pretty sure it just gives the next quest

trial of the ancestors

[storm oak]

This isn't permanent right?
Also I'm guessing most pick either global defenses or elemental resistances?

[hearty walrus]

it can be changed freely

[twin nest]

yeah

and yes defence or res is very good

[novel gazelle]

It is but I'm done with the campaign and I feel kinda aimless now 😞

[storm oak]

Whats your build?

[twin nest]

ell its a grinding game

I think he meant aimless like doesnt know what to do anymore

could be wrong

[novel gazelle]

Ice, lightning Monk

[novel gazelle]

Yes exactly. The campaign gave me purpose, endgame feels more like grinding for the sake of grinding and takes some of the fun out of it

[twin nest]

well it is a grinding game

[quick pike]

yeah I like the poe1 endgame atlas way more

[twin nest]

well poe1 has like what almost 20 years of existence

poe2 is far from done and yes the endgame is very bad

[quick pike]

check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlF-AKCe0TU

[twin nest]

but they said next patch would be about endgame

[meager galleon]

its very likely yeah, they already wanted to make changes to the atlas towers this patch

but didnt have time for it

[novel gazelle]

I'm looking forward to it. Starting the campaign from the start is a bit of a slog but I think I'll do that for now

[twin nest]

if you just finished acts you can level up and get better gear

ice strike from level 60-70 to 90 is a whole different thing still

@novel gazelle

[novel gazelle]

True but it just kind of feels like what's the point of getting better gear at that point

[twin nest]

well its a grinding game

better gear, more dps

yes they are not proper endgame like poe1, but still a grinding game

[meager galleon]

we still got more endgame than any other arpg at this point in development

[twin nest]

well depends on the game you are comparing but yeah I guess so

[hearty walrus]

get better gear to do harder content

[bright dagger]

Must have Stash Tabs in order plz-

[twin nest]

?

[novel gazelle]

It's a great game, no doubt. I think I just got spoiled since this was my first ARPG ever and really enjoyed everything so far

[bright dagger]

Like which one should I get in order

[twin nest]

!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)

[meager galleon]

eeeh

thts poe1 guide for tabs

currency and map are true

[bright dagger]

Thanks

[twin nest]

actually I guess this is poe1 huh, but currency, merchant, map

[meager galleon]

merchant tab for poe2

instead of premium

[twin nest]

yuh

[meager galleon]

fragment not yet in poe2

[novel gazelle]

Currency tab for convenience of organizing your currency easily

Maybe a premium tab if you like naming it and setting a color or making it public to sell on the site

Merchant tab if you want to sell while being offline

[twin nest]

100% merchant

you dont need to tp back to hideout to trade with people

currency and merchant

[bright dagger]

Thank you for the info I appreciate it 🙏 @twin nest

[twin nest]

most important

do not get a premium tab first

maybe after

[novel gazelle]

True, premium tab isn't very important

[bright dagger]

Were they ever gonna add PvP to POE?

[meager galleon]

likely never

[storm oak]

Do you think they'll put the individual merchant tab on sale at some point?

[meager galleon]

while there was pvp in poe1, it was completely forgotten and unused

[novel gazelle]

Yeah that's what I can tell from the interviews I've seen

[meager galleon]

so its not likely for there to be pvp in poe2

[bright dagger]

I’m okay with that I guess idk how it would play it

[novel gazelle]

I think so, eventually. Just think about how badly you want to start selling stuff. If you're in no hurry, just wait

[twin nest]

no idea, I don't have any intel

[hearty walrus]

they did a battle royale game mode for april fools

[bright dagger]

That sounds dope

[novel gazelle]

Loooool

[meager galleon]

yeah, that was actually fun for a few rounds

[muted patrol]

can i go to this node anyway? or is it just not connected and im screwed?

derp nvm

i shoulda read the node

i can gain access ok

[meager galleon]

also if you are in maps, you belong to #2┃after-acts-help

[storm oak]

What did I just accidentally kill? They had a voice line, dropped literally everything they were wearing I guess?

[hearty walrus]

rogue exile

they can sometimes be wearing (and using) unique items

[mellow moat]

Was Mektul nerfed at some point? I just fought him for the first time, playing Hardcore so built very defensive, and he died sooo fast. Every site I read particularly reddit everyone complained how hard it was of a dps check

[twin nest]

they nerfed everyone

bosses

[bright dagger]

Does no one play HC anymore or wuh it’s dead in chat?

[mellow moat]

When was this? I'd love to find the patch notes on it

[hearty walrus]

there's different global chat channels. maybe try global 1? (idk how to change it on console)

[twin nest]

dont know exactly when

[hearty walrus]

this? https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3826682

[bright dagger]

Bet

[storm oak]

Well there are a number of bugs and other out of your control issues atm it's kinda not the vibe

GGG is quick to fix but it's frustrating either way

[meager galleon]

yeah, especially the performance issues with abysses and stuff makes hc tricky

[twin nest]

I prob died more of lag than actually my build

I freeze and suddendly I am dead

[broken isle]

when am i able to teleport to a hideout to buy an item?

[hybrid star]

early act 4

[broken isle]

got an ex drop early trying to buy a bow finally got gold for trade and it says i cant yet

[hybrid star]

and you can start whisper trade around level 25 i think

[broken isle]

that sucks

i want this widowhail

[meager galleon]

windowhail early in acts will be shit for you tbh

you need a really good quiver for widowhail to be good

you will ahve easier time to get an okay bow and an okay quiver that give you together more dmg than a quiver+windowhail would

[storm oak]

What level are you?

[broken isle]

10

[meager galleon]

yeah, absolutely no chance widowhail will be better at that level than basically any random rare bow

[broken isle]

yea i see your point

[meager galleon]

aspiring to make a build around that bow is fine, but its something you switch to in endgame when you get a really really good quiver

[storm oak]

I think the problem with a rare bow being better than widowhail is the level requirement

Just gotta play some more

[broken isle]

yea but theres other good uniques i could get to help early like blackheart

[storm oak]

The campaign is far easier than it should be imo, you'll be fine

[meager galleon]

its tricky with some skills, and way too easy with others

also depends a lot on like having a good weapon, if you get lucky with a weapon drop it can carry you really hard

[storm oak]

So I went inside the abyss thing, problem is my inventory is full, can I portal back to base and come back? or do I have to pick and choose here?

[meager galleon]

you cant return to abyss once you leave

[hearty walrus]

I was able to?

[meager galleon]

waeit really?

hm maybe i left only by dieing

[keen swallow]

is the new trading system accessible on act 4? like i cant buy if im in act 3?

travel hideout feature

[quick pike]

as you enter act 4 , npc ange

[plucky snow]

you can leave and return as long as you dont die xd

[meager galleon]

ah

[plucky snow]

kind of misleading pop up tbh when you try to leave

[meager galleon]

yeah

[waxen osprey]

if I detonate the warriors ground effects via the totem, is the resulting explosion weaker (counting the totem skill instead of the original skill)?

[quiet furnace]

Is there a website or video where the different build types are explained for esch class?

[quick pike]

no I don't think so , you can build a lot of different build types on any class in a way ,for example warrior minion build by ghazzy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrmXiRqU0fs

and it will only get easier with new classes and weapons added to the game

[obsidian forge]

you mean for each weapon and the closest is only poe2ninja, you can see how popular things are

[stiff tiger]

someone please tell me which islands i need to do in act 4 to progress

[obsidian forge]

follow the quest

[quick pike]

islands with the weapon Whakapanu Island,The Abandoned Prison,Shrike Island

[stiff tiger]

not helpful

[stiff tiger]

tyvm

[supple quail]

For strongboxes.
assuming its the white one and im hoping for Contains one unique.
its a suffix
so is it worth regaling or regal (assuming we use it as 3rd material) always gives prefix and i should stop at augment?

[stiff tiger]

always give strongboxes mods until you get quant+rarity do not roll strongboxes for chaos. I spent about 3div worth of chaos and never saw a good suffix like contains rogued exile or unique

[supple quail]

why would you chaos

im talking about regaling it
should i stop at augment or regal it
as in
is 3rd mod always a prefix/suffix and which one can be 'contains unique'

[stiff tiger]

always give strongboxes mods until you get quant+rarity

[opal thistle]

that Trial of Chaos where you use the Ultimatum token thing is a lot of time and effort for what seems like no decent reward

Ive decided the token is now just a useless slot in my inventory XD

[supple quail]

mhm
thanks for answering then i guess

[last trench]

how come suddenly my skill is not in rmb and is in r now

is it affected by socket?

but when i echange it with another its still in that keybind

[plucky snow]

you change keybind in settings

[trim turret]

Its very important if you don't have those ascendancy points yet.

[trim turret]

Fissures? They have their own damage that scales off your weapon I believe.

[hasty remnant]

a little confused.. how much spirit would i need to run herald of thunder+ash+tame beast?

[lament stone]

30 spirit for each herald + however much spirit cost the supports add + however much spirit the beast you tame costs

[hasty remnant]

ah, didn't realize beasts had different costs

[last trench]

i mean i didnt changed the keybinds at all it just changed after putting it in another socket

[quiet furnace]

oh okay do we know something about release date with new classes/weapons?

[waxen osprey]

no, jagged ground, there is both a damage number on the earthquake skill and one on the totem skill, the latter is lower, so I thought it might explode the jagged ground for lower damage compared to waiting for the explosion

[quiet furnace]

i will check it out thanks

[quick pike]

druid was supposed to release this league but it had animation problems and now it will release next league in dec , it's a Strength and Intelligence class https://maxroll.gg/poe2/resources/poe-2-class-overview#druid-header

there's Marauder - Axes , Duelist - swords , Templar-flail , Shadow- Wielding daggers and Thaumaturgy

[trim turret]

The damage on the totem is likely whatever damage it does with its own attacks. If the jagged ground comes from earthquake, it will use earthquake's damage values.

[trim turret]

Bear in mind you shouldn't usually try to replicate builds from poe.ninja because it shows mostly the top builds that have super expensive and hard to obtain items that aren't new player friendly.

[hasty remnant]

did they remove haste beast from troubled camp?

[last trench]

why is my skills like this my freezing pulse when before is in rmb is now in r while flame dash is rmb now

[quick pike]

sometimes this it happens in poe1 , just change them back to how you want

[queen heath]

How do you get a quad merchant tab ?

[plucky snow]

there isnt any yet?

[quick pike]

I don't think you can

[queen heath]

Oh ok

[lament stone]

i dont think there ever will be

its too easy to misclick items in quad tabs

[last trench]

i changed them nack to before but its still the same

[trim turret]

You changed what? Did you assign the skills to different slots on your hotbar?

[last trench]

when i changed the sockets to different equipment the skill keybind changed

but when i put it back to the prev equipment it stil same

[final geyser]

Just fyi, you're still in the PoE2 help channels, https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/509514642826199063 would be more suitable.

[last trench]

oh

i didnt notice

d

[queen heath]

For how much time are items locked in the merchant tab, after you put them up for sale ?

[formal bay]

where does the undying hate tecrod drop ?

[upper pasture]

Anyone know why when I select different servers, it keeps putting me on the same server no matter what?

[quick pike]

about 5 min

[quick pike]

ctrl+click on play

[final geyser]

You may just be logging into the same instance, enter a new instance and it should be the correct one.

[queen heath]

Guys, I don't know if you have the precise answer, but when you vaal a T15 waystone, what's the % chance of getting a T16 ?

[final geyser]

That's not really a campaign question, but the wiki suggests a 12.5% chance.

[queen heath]

Sorry about that. Alright, so with an omen of corruption it's basically 16.5%... that's pretty low

[wild hedge]

When using this gem, as a rule, what type damage should i aim for?
Phys damage or lightning damage? (On my Crossbow).

I know that both are good for me but which one is the priority?

For example, i could get a 45-60 phys damage bow (base damage) or get a 25-40 but with 5-30 lightning damage

[dense mirage]

love the power spike as minion infernalist when you swap to arsonists

[quiet furnace]

ah okay thank you

[gilded veldt]

I keep seeing these YouTubers with an extended inventory, like it has a slot on the side of the window that has more space in it. I'm on console myself, how do they get this?

[trim turret]

Which gem?

[trim turret]

Its part of one of the warrior ascendancies.

[gilded veldt]

Which one?

[wild hedge]

Oh, i thought i added the screenshot, my bad

I suppose just a giga phys crossbow would be better, because it's easier to ramp it up?

[trim turret]

Titan, though that isn't really a reason to pick it.

[ivory folio]

the ingame tooltip dps is pretty accurate in this game, just compare weapons that way

[gilded veldt]

Ah, I was just curious because I could not figure it out lol. Odd to add something that's really nice QoL and lock it to a class, kind of... Bad design imo.

[trim turret]

Lightning damage also has a wider damage range. Lower minimum damage but higher maximum damage. Increases to lightning damage from the tree and stuff apply after the conversion though, so that's definitely useful. And you can totally get a crossbow that has both physical and flat lightning.

[trim turret]

It feels like a placeholder but if you're filling up and going back that often it means you're picking up too much garbage anyway.

[wild hedge]

🙏🏻 Alright, thanks, i will look into it

[quiet furnace]

Hello are all the stats random on gear i can find? (currently in act 1)

because i need gear with resistances and health

[gilded veldt]

Yeah I did that my first time lol, I didn't realize that I was supposed to use the auto adjuster feature on filterblade.

[trim turret]

Base stats and implicits on base item types are the same, additional stats/mods, called prefixes and suffixes, are random.

[trim turret]

Not even that, you just eventually learn what to leave on the ground.

[gilded veldt]

Ah

Could you give me a few examples of that?

[trim turret]

Just pick up blues and yellows and identify them.

[trim turret]

Ignore bows when you're using maces, once you have rare gear don't pick up blues unless they have sockets or something else you need to salvage, once you're consistently using armor bases (if that's what you're after), you can start to ignore evasion items. That sort of thing.

[ivory folio]

a common tip is to hide type of item you just never pick up, like unwanted bases/magic items, rares that take up too many inventory slots

filterblade lets you adjust the filter really easily, just copy/paste the item into the filter website and it tells you what rules you need to adjust

[gilded veldt]

Gotcha, ty

[gilded veldt]

How does one do this? I'm mobile bound for the time being at least, so no pc

[ivory folio]

are you using a filter from filterblade at all?

you can still log in to the site and sync the filter to your account, afaik

no idea if it works on console

[quiet furnace]

okay so its just luck based

[quiet furnace]

i use neversink 1

[trim turret]

Yes, and higher level gear has a chance of rolling higher tiers of stats.
