[hollow elk]

any alternatives for a wolf druid besides the staff as a first hand weapon? like, could I go spear + talisman? I'm not really using any elemental spells, or spells at all, for that matter

like, is anyone successfully doing this or is the answer "u can do it but it's trash"

[prime venture]

True… you can do anything

[trim turret]

I think it depends on what you're trying to do with it. Weapon swapping and the associated passive points can be super strong depending on what you do with it.

[hollow elk]

I started with guides but I find myself getting more creative and discovering the joy in that 😄

[trim turret]

I'm gonna do a wand or staff setup just for apocalypse, the only spell I'll use. Have no idea if its going to work but Ill try.

[hollow elk]

Like I could just use the spear disengage, get all the switching buffs and pounce bag in

[trim turret]

No real harm in trying. Its just a few passives and gems if it doesnt work.

[drowsy fjord]

i gained no ascendacy points when i completed the trial the 3rd one

[trim turret]

Was it high enough level and did it tell you it would reward more points?

[drowsy fjord]

yes

i did it two times

[trim turret]

Trial of Chaos you need a certain number of rooms, I think its seven. If its the Sekhema trial you need to do three whole floors.

[quick pike]

chaos is 10 rounds for points 5-6

[drowsy fjord]

is this from the new update?

[trim turret]

No, its always been like that.

[drowsy fjord]

i dont remeber doing that many

[flint plume]

Chaos used to need an even higher level for points 5 and 6. It's never been easier than it currently is

[copper spindle]

Does totems work on warrior at all?> i see totem hp and ancestral stuff with them but is it actually viable? Warbringer has a whole part of its tree dedicated to them?

[hearty walrus]

they work

[hoary citrus]

quality on scepter affect what?

[quick pike]

the skill of the sceptre ,mine has 20% and the mskeletal warriors got the 20%

[hollow elk]

Yeah I haven't really internalised that yet. As a new PoE player, it's almost unintuitive that you can use almost any skill from any class at any time, same for weapons and gear

Other rpgs are quite linear and sequential, and that's kinda the standard so I have it engrained a little 😅

[flint plume]

Yeah, classes in PoE are extremely flexible. For PoE2 they market each class as being associated with a specific category of skill but that's not actually the reality

[burnt river]

Anyone got tips around gear for the viper act3 fight? I'm getting wrecked :(

[hybrid plinth]

what an explict mod? my waystone has 4 modifiers on it but corrupted nexus says i need a waystone with 4 explicit mods

[quick pike]

press alt and see the Tiers

some affixes have more that 1 modifier on a tier

[hoary citrus]

is this debuff or buff for enemies?

[flint plume]

Chaos res can help. It's also just a hard fight where learning to dodge stuff helps

[flint plume]

Buff. They'll do extra damage

[quick pike]

that one is great for CI

[queen snow]

How do you farm gear if youre stuck at a boss?

[delicate pecan]

just making sure im not losing my mind, with herald of ice active the explosion is really small and happens on top of the guy right? or does it hit somewhere else, new to poe 2 and im monk werewolf level 12 using herald of ice and ive frozen them and hit them with my claws, staff, and other attacks that are definitely martial

[full lark]

Is there a way to quick cast skills? For example, I want maul to just cast, not go to where my cursor is and cast

[frank sonnet]

first stop is town, see what the vendors have, maybe gamble. Think about whether it might be worth adding a socket to an item and putting a rune in. Otherwise, go back to an easier area

[hard blade]

Can't figure out on what to do after pulling the switch it will make a wall rise up and it blocks the path

[hoary citrus]

since it seems i can even run at atziri in campaign, how hard would she be?

[coarse elk]

Does the golden charm rarity counts for the rare u killed to activate it?

[trail shadow]

Is it better to keep lower level Unique dupes for trade and scrap the rest? I thought higher level Uniques would have higher values, but I have a Lvl. 15 and Lvl. 38 Shabby Hood Unique with the same values.

[opal ivy]

hi, i did the sisters event in the spires of deshar and it's crossed off on my map, but I'm not getting the +10% lightning resistance.. any ideas?

[frank sonnet]

the level doesn't matter, as you've seen. You should just vendor most stuff once you have a little bit of currency, because the gold is important important (for gambling)

[frank sonnet]

if you clicked it, you got it

[nimble flower]

are trade add ons used by players as much as poe1 in poe2 or not far enough along for those kind of things yet?

[opal ivy]

i have 17% lightning res on my gear, and it's showing 17% lightning res in my character screen

[trail shadow]

Gambling how? Also looking to scrap Unique as I've only gotten a single Chance Shard as of Act 3 so far.

[frank sonnet]

exiled exchange 2 is a fork of awakened poe trade for poe2

[frank sonnet]

one of the vendors in town sells randomised gear

you don't need to worry about chance orbs really

the uniques are better being sold

[trail shadow]

Is that worth it?

[frank sonnet]

if you need gear, sure

[sturdy tree]

Hi , for farm abyss in campaign. Acte 2 is best? Plz

[trail shadow]

What if I'm looking for something specific like the Viper Constricting Cap?

[sweet sun]

anyone know why its killing me?

my friend trying to boost me but it kills me on start every time

[opal ivy]

is there any kind of res penalty in act 2? can't figure out why i'm not seeing the +10% lightning res bonus from the sisters event

[frank sonnet]

you mean the constricting command unique? it's tough to get specific uniques that don't have a target farming method. If you're in trade league the easiest way is to just buy one

[frank sonnet]

yes you get -10% per act

[opal ivy]

thanks!

[frank sonnet]

"test of time" - did you take too long?

[sweet sun]

what do u mean xD

we entered boss chamber

and I died

with no damage

he is fine

[frank sonnet]

did you join the trial when he was at the end?

[brazen axle]

Want to switch off wyvern for lightning spear amazon but unsure when the best time for it is

How strong is lightning spear/primal strikes compared to wyvern, atleast in the early endgame

[trail shadow]

Yeah, the one that can reduce the amount of enemies required to be surrounded, I've been "hoarding"(Have only gotten 3 bases, lol) Viper Caps, cause I assumed that base can get you the Constricting Viper Cap.

[vital sun]

can anyone help with finishing act 3? currently at utzaal

[frank sonnet]

chancing it yourself is going to be very very unlikely

[trail shadow]

I see

[quick stag]

Has anyone here fixed the “Deadlock detected” client crash?

[jade skiff]

In HC is it a good idea to do the league mechanic in a zone and reset to get a temple if you’re not getting good gear? My gear isn’t that strong right now and whenever I do a temple I’m able to upgrade my gear a ton.

[graceful lichen]

can someone help me with count geonor

[trim turret]

Get some cold res if you don't have much/any.

Check the vendors and make sure they don't have anything better in terms of max life, resistances, or a better weapon.

[graceful lichen]

just killed him

[lament stone]

@restive raven you can only socket augments into sceptres if they say on the item that they can be socketed into sceptres

[restive raven]

oh like the MS ones and stuff

[lament stone]

idols and some soul cores

[restive raven]

copy that

[heavy pendant]

question, anyone know why the lightning res is -1%?

[hybrid star]

you get -10 elemental res per act you completed

[heavy pendant]

damn

[trim turret]

Its the game's way of saying "these are important" and higher level items can roll better resistances.

[coarse elk]

Is hollow palm really useful or just cool?

Cause i am making the math and until lv50 every piece of amor will give you like 12% attack speed and 3.5% critical hit chance MAX (Buying the best body/helm/boot/gloves)

And I can just buy a quarterstaff that give me this two stats (AS and Crit) and also add # to phys/elemtnal damage

So I wanna know, what is the real advantage of using hollow palm? You spend more currency to deal less damage?

[heavy pendant]

how much resistance do I actually need?

[hybrid star]

as much as possible, to a cap of 75%

[trim turret]

The base attack speed is pretty fast, you get flat damage from gem level, and you don't have to worry about keeping a weapon up to date.

[trim turret]

75% in at least the three elemental resistances and increased max life are the bare minimum of defenses.

[eternal sage]

This is probably a dumb question but is it okay for me to equip skills on my secondary bar if there is no more space on my primary bar?

For example I want to use Cross Slash on my secondary bar so I would like to know if doing that could negatively affect me somehow

[dusky burrow]

yeah, you can do that

there is no penalty or anything

[eternal sage]

Thank you!

I’m following a build guide which wants the skill Savage Fury to go on weapon set 2. Can anyone tell me why they have done that? What is the benefit?

That part always confuses me when I read build guides and people have skills or passives set to separate weapon sets

[hazy olive]

what unique shall i get

[trim turret]

You can have a weapon, skills, and a limited number of passives assigned to each weapon set. An easy example is last league when I had a quarterstaff and used it to freeze enemies, and a crossbow with fragmentation rounds for shattering them. Weapon set specific passives helped the freezing or the crossbow damage.

[eternal sage]

I see. So if this guide says to put a specific skill on weapon set 2, is it safe to assume that they’re doing that because they plan on spending those limited number of passives you mentioned for that specific skill without wanting to spend more than they need on their main weapon set?

[trim turret]

Yes, either that or the skill wants a weapon with different stats or is a different base type.

[eternal sage]

Gotcha. Thank you very much

[copper spindle]

What does this mean?

[hybrid star]

you lose mana by 15% of the flask life recovery amount

[crude heath]

Uh this is good right

[forest ridge]

Is there a good source to figure out what lvl requirements will become of an item when crafting?

[calm skiff]

required level of the base or highest modifier ilvl

whichever is highest is the required

[burnt river]

I'm getting destroyed in act 3, are my stats cooked?

[calm skiff]

you have barely any elemental resistances

[burnt river]

should I buy gear to fix it?

[calm skiff]

yes, or use runes, or spend gold on alva gambling for some

[trim turret]

The three elemental resistances and max life are a priority on gear. Gamble for items from Alva, buy white bases and transmute/augment them, use artificers + runes, whatever you have to do.

[burnt river]

My main issue is just viper though, and she doesn't do elemental damage right?

[hybrid star]

she has a lightning spear throw, but mostly phys, and chaos if you are poisoned

[trim turret]

She does some fire. Mostly physical and chaos. But still. Everything will keep destroying you if you dont fix those resists. Some way of recouping life during combat is important also.

[calm skiff]

she is mostly phys, yea and her guards stabbing is very difficult to survive, you either have a lot of dmg to kill her fast or you get very good at dodging the guards

[burnt river]

Is there somewhere thats good for farming gear instead? I'm all out of gold

[calm skiff]

reset the instance of utzaal and kill mobs, or the previous area

[burnt river]

okay ty for the tips :)

[craggy gyro]

where are the 7pillars on the qimah map?

[craggy gyro]

ty

[calm skiff]

always near the entrance either to one side or the other

[languid snow]

how do u survivew the desecrated ground from abyss monsters? it drains my health so fast everytime and i cant heal

[calm skiff]

its chaos damage

so get chaos resistance or immunity via chaos innoculation keystone

[languid snow]

i got full 75% chaos res tho 😭

and like 91% armor

[calm skiff]

then get more health/ health regen/ recoup/ leech

armor doesnt help

[languid snow]

@calm skiff this is my stats

[calm skiff]

what stage are you in the game ?

[languid snow]

endgame

is it bad?

[calm skiff]

yes, you have almost no life

[languid snow]

what do u reccomend to get a bunch more life

[calm skiff]

get + to max life in as many gear pieces you can

[languid snow]

dang

ima have to get all new gear huh

😭

[calm skiff]

because life regen is based on a % of your max it will help immediately with damage over time like desecrated ground

[languid snow]

hmm

so i just need to get a bunch more life

is my life regen ok

[calm skiff]

right now its fairly low

for starting maps I would say aim for 3k life, i'm doing 8mod t16's and have 6k ES, somethings still one shot me

but mostly phys because I have no phys mitigation as a CI caster

[hybrid star]

that's mana, you don't have innate life regen from max life

[calm skiff]

oh, oops, I assumed life was the same

[calm skiff]

so you will need either regen, recoup dmg taken as life or leech to help with recovery and surviving damage over time

[olive lily]

Yall know what resistances I should be using in the Jungle. It's not apparent to me, what is doing additonal damage

[languid snow]

alright ty do u gott a good way to get those things

[calm skiff]

if you mean act3, probably chaos

[olive lily]

got it, thanks!

Is there an easy way to tell what elements they are applying?

[calm skiff]

green, purple = usually chaos
fire is orange usually,
blue is lightning,
white is cold

if you are poisoned your health globe turns green,
bleed has a sound effect,
check icons in the top left if you think you are affected by something

[olive lily]

what about those puddles from Act 2, when the creatures explode?

[calm skiff]

buy from trade if you have exalts to spare,
gamble with gold,
pickup bases off the ground and ID them, craft what looks potentially good

and check vendors every level up

if you already have some atlas points run the nodes for chances for essences

[waxen osprey]

why cant I desecreate my ring that only has 5 affixes?

[trim turret]

Generally you want to always be improving your resists overall.

[trim turret]

Using the correct item for it?

[waxen osprey]

im trying it with a gnaws collar bone

[grave crystal]

jamanra has to be the worst designed boss in gaming history

[hybrid star]

item level too high?

[grave crystal]

no reason for the entire arena to be lit up for the second phase

visual clarity nightmare

[waxen osprey]

don't know, is there a limit to which item level those work?

[hybrid star]

read gnawed bone, I think it's 64 or below

and hold alt on your ring to see it's item level

[waxen osprey]

oh, yes, its too high :(, seems I need to buy a super expensive one of the next tier
thank you

[sharp sluice]

Is it normal to have a low-level staff from the start of the campaign be the best staff for the whole campaign because no other staff drops with +level to spells?

[static patio]

does this node also work for minion hits?

2nd question if they have neg elemental resistence bc of debuffs will this decrease my dmg?

[hearty walrus]

anything that doesn't specify minions/allies doesn't affect them

yes to 2nd question

[low moat]

chat how do i unlock more support gem slots for skilsl

[static patio]

does distilled bonus on your amulet apply to minions with the necro talisman keystone?
and if it does is there certain ones that dont work?

[hearty walrus]

jewellers orbs on skills from gems

[sudden cairn]

Hey! Anyone got a bloodmage leveling guide for spark build?

[olive lily]

I'm in act 3, I should have more suport slots than 3 right?

How do I add more?

[queen jungle]

Not really, you get your first guaranteed one right at the start of act 3.

But what you're looking for is Greater Jeweller's Orb.

[olive lily]

you mean I should have gotten a Greater Jeweller's Orb at the start?

[queen jungle]

No, I mean that after 3 support sockets, you now need a Greater Jeweller's Orb

[eager marsh]

How do you get the 5-6th Ascendance points? Saw something about it where you do the trails again with a “higher” teir stone to begin the challenge but just got giga clapped in it, what level is people usually doing that on?

[vapid oak]

yo someone donate me POE2 game

[woven bobcat]

dude why is rolling magma so buns 😭 literally just spamming oil barrage unempowered is better

even with fissure setup and buffs today its still cheeks

[round frigate]

hello

who can tell me the anoint combo for sturdy metal?

[queen jungle]

nope

[queen jungle]

It doesn't have one

[round frigate]

do you know any good armor passive that can be anointed?

[eager marsh]

Someone know a good guide that can explain crafting in poe? Feel like I have tried to understand it through some reading but don’t know how worth it is to use certain crafting mats due to the value of them

[queen jungle]

Polished Iron and Made to Last both are pretty good, I don't know how expensive the anoints are

[round frigate]

made to last is over 80ex

[flint plume]

I'm general you can tell the annoying combination for any node by mousing over it and holding alt. If nothing shows up it can't be anointed

[round frigate]

ty

[queen jungle]

Damn, that's sensible tbh

[round frigate]

it is

but im still in acts hehe

[queen jungle]

Just get a lucky drop 4head

[round frigate]

i wanted something to start

hehe

[queen jungle]

If you're still in acts then you definitely shouldn't need to worry about anointing your gear

[round frigate]

ah well im doing some growing experiment and i wanted some cheap armor enhance

[flint plume]

Honestly I usually don't bother anointing anything in acts because I rarely have an Amulet worth anointing

[round frigate]

but you're right

thanks for help guys

[tiny bobcat]

Hi ezomytes! Newbie here. What should I be focusing on the bear druid gear, just amor or amor and shield? I know it converts amor into elemental DMG, but I don't know if the shield it's also convenient anyhow.

[flint plume]

It doesn't convert armor into elemental damage, it just makes it so armor helps protect you a little against elemental damage instead of only physical.

But anyway, while leveling your top priorities should be DPS on your talisman and life and ele resists on your other gear. And move speed on your boots.

[obsidian forge]

I would go with just ES in the endgame

[flint plume]

It's a little awkward to go full ES on bear druid just because the ES nodes on the tree aren't where the other stuff you want is

[obsidian forge]

well I like being tanky

how else can you be tanky without evasion

[flint plume]

So do I, but you do still need damage. You're probably not gonna get tanky enough to face tank everything as a bear druid so you need damage to kill things faster than they kill you

[obsidian forge]

meh

[flint plume]

I'm not saying ignore ES completely, but it's that's to go CI on a bear druid, for example. But anyway, we're in the campaign channel

So here the answer is life and resists

[obsidian forge]

yeah

[static patio]

are commands considereds a attack or spell or neither?

and do nodes that for example say "Fire damage has 6% penetration"apply to command's?

[obsidian forge]

they have to buff you, these nodes, not your minions

[static patio]

what why?

[obsidian forge]

you buff minions with anything that says minions

[static patio]

but it says "fire dmg does x"

[obsidian forge]

buffs that dont say the word minion buff you

yes, your fire damage

[static patio]

they should explicity say your.

[obsidian forge]

try the ice nova djin build if you want btw

[hearty walrus]

i'm pretty sure command skills are still your minion's skills

[static patio]

so commands are considered your minion's

so any mods that apply to your dmg dont work?

[obsidian forge]

exactly

[static patio]

but that seems so wierd

then why i there elemental reactions

on the commands

if you cant buff elemental dmg or certain ailments or pen

in any meaningfull way

[quick pike]

check the main skill you command , what tags does it have, I'm playing the Djinn build and yeah you build it with mininion dmg,+ to minions

[obsidian forge]

sure you can, there are many minion buffs

[static patio]

also i noticed there was a skill that does fire minions

that has a the persistent and minion tag but doesnt actually increase my minions dmg

this one

[clear talon]

I love games that you can keep playing over and over again and never stops. Is path of exile 2 like that?

[hardy sun]

it's a lot of grinding, yep

[static patio]

why does ragin spirit no benefit my friend to many?

[quick pike]

in your presence means it's around your character in a radious of like 4 m, how many minions do you have

ragin spirit is not persistent

[hearty walrus]

well, i've played maybe 20k hours in poe1. i'm on 700 hours in 2 over 2 and a half leagues

[static patio]

but it has the persistent tag

so why is it not counted as persistent

[hybrid star]

it's a persistant buff, not persistant minion

[static patio]

thats like stinky

[clear talon]

And what about the end game?

They say its infinite

Is it like the acts that you rum around and kill mobs and bosses and complete quests

Run*

[hybrid star]

actually idk, what I was thinking of are "reviving minions"

[static patio]

well

there is a support gem

[hearty walrus]

it's different than the campaign. it's where most players spend 90% of their playtime. here's a beginner guide to the endgame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ83sYCgaoA

[static patio]

why does this have different wording

whats the difference between a reviving minion and a persistent minion

so i get that raginst spirit doesnt count for this support

[hybrid star]

from the wiki:

Persistent Minions, such as Skeletal Warrior, also use Spirit to stay active, respawning automatically after death.

[quick pike]

poe 1-2 are seasonal games , every 4 months there a new league , most people are not playing for 4 months , when a new league starts you make a new character , the league mechanic is only in the new league and after the league ends all your characters go to standard

[static patio]

if persistent minions and reviving minions are the same thing

[clear talon]

Why 4 months?

[static patio]

they should have similar wording on these

[clear talon]

Also are all the biomes of all the acts back in the endgane

Endgame

[static patio]

yes you can do most areas in end game

[quick pike]

it takes time to make the new league , they do a lot of changes

there's a new poe1-2 league every 2 months, 2 months into this poe2 league a new poe1 league will release

[static patio]

so they do 6 leagues per year now?

[quick pike]

yeah , both games combined

[hearty walrus]

3 leagues per game

[tiny bobcat]

ES = Energy shield?, Evasion rating? And why? The convert amor to elemental DMG does not matter?

[quick pike]

es is Energy shield, es is the strongest defence , I'm lvl 78 in ssf and I have 10 k es on CI(chaos inoculation)

armour is the worst , zizraran was playing a druid and had 10 k armour all the armour nodes on the tree and he was still dying , armour was really bad for big hits, it does ok against small hits

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/defence-guide

[flint plume]

It doesn't convert armor to elemental damage. It makes armor defend against elemental damage. Normally armor only defends against phys damage

The problem with armor is that it protects kroe against small hits and not as much against big hits

The big thing is that right now ES kind of supplements your actual life total, which is really strong because life is very hard to scale but ES is very easy to scale

Armor isn't useless, it's just situational. ES isn't

[tiny bobcat]

So for bear druid, stack as much energy shield as possible? And in terms of DMG, elemental, Phys, flat, percentage...? I'm newbie by the way, just got through act 1.

[quick pike]

depends on what build you're making , if you go bear % Phys and flat phys ,lightning is the way to go , druid has armour,es , get life on each gear piece

[obsidian forge]

I know ES works and I know evasion+deflect work and make you tanky, I have been trying to figure out how much low and medium armounts of armour help you survive, I know if you have 90k armour you can be tanky for example, but if you have just 40k then I have no idea

[sturdy tree]

Hi , for HCSSF. It s better to play pathfinder poison or deadeye LA mirage arrow please?

[obsidian forge]

LA deadeye

[sturdy tree]

@obsidian forge thanks a lot

[quick pike]

isn't LA deadeye a glass cannon ?

[obsidian forge]

what? ofc not

it's as tanky as you want to build it

it's just most people make squishy builds because they are chasing damage

[sturdy tree]

Atm i play shaman druid but ppl said it s too squishy for HCSSF . Need good gear because of bleed chaos poison..etc

[quick pike]

5% patfinder and 1% deadeye in hcssf on poe2ninja

[obsidian forge]

shaman is not a build, shaman is tanky, it doesn't mean its build is gonna be tanky

basically I recommend either over 10k life+ES or 5k life+ES with 80% evasion and deflect

in either case you need lots of faster ES recharge and faster start of ES recharge

[sturdy tree]

Ok , can t go like full armor, full life so

[obsidian forge]

well you can't have 10k life realistically, so you need ES, yeah

[sturdy tree]

10k look like not easy to reach

[obsidian forge]

10k ES is a budget build, not hard to reach

[quick pike]

I have 10k es in ssf , you have to craft , gamble, 3 to 1 stuff like that

[sturdy tree]

Ok thanks. So i ve to change gear and tree , actually im at end act 4.

[obsidian forge]

wait, sorry, I forgot you are playing SSF. then 10k should be hard, yes

but still achievable

[sturdy tree]

Find a decent weapon 222-362 pdps lvl 52 so i need to improve def for campaign

[queen snow]

can the asendancy tria keys also drop in maps after interlude?

[quick pike]

this is the poe2 ninja hcssf ladder you could check what ppl are doing here https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaalhcssf?class=Shaman

[hollow elk]

What does the "close temple" button do in the temple console? What's its purpose? It's there after you assemble the rooms and click "run temple" and then come back to the console

[quick pike]

check https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/trials-of-ascendancy , yeah to get your 5-6-7-8 ascendancy points you get the trial keys in maps

[sage phoenix]

Does lighting warp always create lightning infusion, or only when it culls?

[sturdy tree]

@quick pike thanks a lot

[static patio]

can bucklers be carried with wands?

[quick pike]

yeah but foci can have spell dmg

[static patio]

so that one buckler that gives skill levels is kidna decent if you arent using spell dmg

oh yeah i meant sceptres** not wands

[quick pike]

that too

foci can have +2 to minions from abyss crafting

[static patio]

yeah but the special unique buckler has +3 ?

[quick pike]

which one ?

[static patio]

sunsplinter

but im having a wierd time understanind ghte mod rolls

its says a static +1 for fire +2 for cold andd +3 for lightning skills

but when i see corrupted ones they have different numbers

[quick pike]

For each of the maximum resistances and level of skills modifiers, each of elemental damage type (fire, cold, lightning) will generate with either +1, +2, or +3 with no repeats (i.e. +2 Fire skills, +3 Cold skllls, +1 Lightning skills)

[static patio]

oh cool

is that unqieu to that weapon?

the special corrupt rolls

or is that even before corrupt

when i look up the item on ttrade

i only see corrupted versions

why is that

[quick pike]

you can uncheck the corrupted , look at miscellaneuous , corrupted put no

[keen wing]

my games bugged and wont let me put the soul core in the console at the entrence of Jiquani's Machinarium, anybody know how to fix?

[quick pike]

yeah I had that too like 4 days ago , reset the zone

ctrl+click on the entrance or the waypoint

[opal shuttle]

Without the merchants tab i cannot sell items offlince comfortabely or is there like a default one i can use and buying a merchants tab is just one more?

[keen wing]

[quick pike]

you can use a premium tab to sell person to person but yeah , without a mechant or premium not really , back in 2013 ppl would sell on the forums , not sure if that's still a thing

the merchants tab is for offline selling

[opal shuttle]

So merchants better than preium for selling but premium has some nice space extra but a bit harder to sell

are person to person trades usual?

or merchantsa must

[quick pike]

quad premium is 4 tabs in one , merchant is just 1 tab , same as normal premium

[opal shuttle]

yes

im just trying to figure out what to buy
currency and merchants is whats needed most as far as i can tell

[static patio]

is there a thing as to much + level modifiers ?

[quick pike]

only last league they've added the merchant tab system , before it was only in person trade , you would click direct message and the trade text would be sent in game , then the person would have to invite you , usually would take like 5-10 or more direct messages to trade in person , a lot of price fixing

[copper spindle]

my game just took a trait point from me, the customer service seems like a dang forum u post in, am i just fucked and ill have 1 less forever?

[static patio]

i feel like i cna reach like +11

[copper spindle]

I know i needed 10 points to get somewhere, i had 9, i placed them and i only got 8 steps. Im 2 away. I've counted a dozen times.

[opal shuttle]

so merchants definetly better

premium quad tab is just recommended to get some space

[copper spindle]

it was that line. Those are 8 points. Not 9.

How do i fix dis

[quick pike]

don't think the customer service deals with this , the customer service deals with payment problems and stuff

[opal shuttle]

besides beeing able to trade do preimums have any other use compared to normal stash tabs

[copper spindle]

🙁

its the forums

[quick pike]

that's not a technical problem , check https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-forum/2214 but it's probably just something you've missed

[static patio]

respec

do unqiue amulets work on minions

with the keystone?

[quick pike]

anointed amulets ?

[static patio]

wondering that too

unique and annointed

to they both work?

[copper spindle]

i...dont know what u mean

u want me to spend 40k gold to get 8 out of 9 points back?

[static patio]

you miscounted

[copper spindle]

no

Count the photo above

[static patio]

you miscounted how many points you had then

[copper spindle]

That is 8, 9 would be the small passive, 10 would be the big one

No the box said 9 in the corner

And i had done it, anxiety based hit cancel, placed them again, and i was 1 short.

it also wasnt a weapon skill point

as i have +10 in both as idk what those are

[static patio]

hmm

well you could go up instead

and grab the other node

i think its closer

[copper spindle]

what

[static patio]

(unless you already have it)

[copper spindle]

i want the one big one at the bottom, which is now 2 away but it was one

and i know because check this

[copper spindle]

oh wait a reboot game it back

i think you have me confused

[copper spindle]

a game reboot gave me a point back. i tried character rebooting and that didnt work so i was like fuck it

[static patio]

do minions benefit from attributes?

im wondering which unqiue amulets would work well with the keystone

[quick pike]

which keystone , no they don't

[static patio]

necromantic talisman

honestly i cant find much information on the keystone

in general

[quick pike]

they get stuff like life,res

a +1-2-3 to minions amulet would be better

[static patio]

like if my amulets has +10 strength

will my minions get +20 life?

since they each get +10 strength

or can minions not get attributes

[quick pike]

this person is using that keystone , the only person on poe2ninja https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal?items=Sunsplinter&keystones=Necromantic+Talisman

[static patio]

wow it must really suck LOL

[quick pike]

looks good for what this person is doing

[static patio]

im wondering if disllited things would apply

surely this amulet

[quick pike]

even a +1 to minions would be better

not worth it , at least until you're building for that keystone and you're in the endgame

[static patio]

but would it work?

[quick pike]

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

[static patio]

oh

so no

they wouldnt go to your minions

[quick pike]

true

the attributes would work

[static patio]

that so little info

lol

[copper spindle]

whys my boneshatter blue?

[queen jungle]

It is Ancestrally Boosted

Probably by Fist of War

[sweet sun]

Does beast still can roll haste aura in act 3 troubled camp?

so there is no way to farm haste aura now?

nvm just got it

its slow af tho ;-;

[small shoal]

Hi everyone, simple question: For a Spark + Comet build, which is better: Stormweaver or Blood Mage? Thanks!

[opal shuttle]

How long does the stash tab sale lastr

[quick pike]

3days 12h , timer here https://poe2db.tw/us/

[quick pike]

not sure , here's what ppl are playing on poe2ninja https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal?skills=Spark%2CComet , looks like there's more blood mages Spark + Comet

[mental horizon]

Hi guys,there was navalis reset ,,a questionmark that shows as a quest in map,so I cleared bosses I went there but it doesn’t let me to do anything with pool,after that i went couple more times,and around pool there was appeared a woman that shows as quest,but i didn’t did anything with pool tho,maybe some player from party,,but i didn’t notice,,so i talked to the woman and after that it shows me in map like I already did it but they told me that its for mana +5% but i didn’t receive anything to take and add it not any green color items,nothing,,so how do i know?do i get those 5% mana or nah?

In act 4

[desert zephyr]

Can someone please help me with the temple of chaos please? ID: ShotXDie

[quick pike]

in that zone find halls of the dead https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/navali-s-rest-map-location-in-path-of-exile-2.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=2

[mental horizon]

I found it

I went there but theres nothing I can do,i could interact with pool

[quick pike]

the pool is not in the halls of the dead

check the screenshot , right hand side on the screenshot

[mental horizon]

So yeah i cleared halls of the dead

Now it’s shows me in map like i did it but i didn’t

Can u help me someday if u will have time?

[quick pike]

in halls of the dead you fight in 3 arenas , in each arena there's a totem , you get to choose from res or stats

[mental horizon]

I get those

I get 3

[quick pike]

then you keep going , you fight the monkey and keep going

[mental horizon]

When i keep going it takes me to a woman and that’s it

[quick pike]

and she gives you 2 passive skill points ?

[mental horizon]

It might be bug or something

[quick pike]

post a screenshot

[mental horizon]

I don’t remember to be honest,,im not in game rn

[quick pike]

check the quest log when you're in game

after you fight the monkey and find Navali and the goddess you are done

[mental horizon]

But after i walkthrough it it was showing me in map like i didnt do navalis rest,,so i went back clear 3 bosses go to pool,and I couldn’t interact with it but around pool there was a woman that i need to interact with so i talked to here and she didn’t give me anything ,after that it shows in map like quest is done

So basically is there someone around pool gives u anything to press use and add something or nah,cause no one gives me an green items in that area

[pine cedar]

hey guys im completely new to poe series, i only ever played grimdawn and diablo ages ago, what the heck is fate of the vaal ? and standard ?

i just bought poe ea pack

[lament stone]

fate of the vaal is the current league

you can only play the new league mechanic in the current league

[pine cedar]

uh what is a league ? a season likd d3 ? i dont even know what a season got different

[lament stone]

standard is where everything goes when a league ends

yea basically a season

[pine cedar]

how suitable the game is for me if i just wanted to go around enjoy the story and messing with thing, i dont think im that interested in the fancy cosmetic and walking melt stuff, but i do like aprg

is been awhile since i last played one so i wanted to give poe2 a shot

[hollow elk]

From a min-max perspective, disenchanting is better than selling especially in early and mid game because orbs scale better in terms of worth, right? Getting very little gold from rares in early compared to late game is just worse than stacking regal orbs which are always equally useful, is that correct?

[quick pike]

yeah like a season , there's a new league every 4 months but unlike D3 , poe seasons are massive , new league mechanic with crafting,bosses,monsters, a lot of balance changes and so on

[hollow elk]

Basically, regal orbs are inflation protected

[lament stone]

sort of yea, disenchanting vs selling really depends on what you need more at the moment tho, regals vs gold

[quick pike]

right now the campaign is the best part of the game can take you 15-25 h or so

[pine cedar]

and when a season change there will be new bosses? so u need to update ur build ? new thing to collect ? is that the idea to keep the game fresh ?

[lament stone]

the league mechanic is the new thing

the campaign and endgame stays mostly the same

[quick pike]

when a season ends just like d3 all characters go to standard

[hollow elk]

Ok so as long as I don't desperately need gold and can somehow get by, regals are the way

[pine cedar]

so which one should i click, i should still click on fate of the vaal and play thorugh the campaign, i litterally just at the picking a class and name and i saw this

[trim turret]

League mechanic along with whatever core content gets added/changed. Then most of us try new builds in the new league.

[lament stone]

always pick the current league

[pine cedar]

thanks yall

[clear talon]

i have a question is it true that the game resets my skill tree that i need to add it back again? I will play only with my old caracter for a while even after the full release and i dont want anything to be lost

[daring dragon]

Yes

They give out free respecs after big changes

That's a good thing for you

[clear talon]

why?

i dont want anything to be lost

[daring dragon]

Because your old build most likely won't work well anymore

[quick pike]

because massive changes brick characters/builds

[daring dragon]

Due to all the changes

[clear talon]

but other than that everything will be there still right like my weapons, skills?

[daring dragon]

So u don't need to spend huge amounts of gold pretty much every big patch for respecs

[daring dragon]

Obviously

[clear talon]

okay than its okay

if it resets i need to put it back?

is it hard?

[echo heath]

do i have to do firest and second ascendancy or can i go straight to my 4th?

[quick pike]

your 4th will give you all the ascendancy points

[echo heath]

amazing thank you

[daring dragon]

Is it hard to put back the points?

Was it hard to put them in the first time?

[clear talon]

no i mean to get it back

[quick pike]

you would have to check and see if the build you were using before would still work with some changes

[daring dragon]

Get what back?

You don't lose points

You just get them refunded

[lament stone]

sometimes the tree is changed, and if youve pathed through a part of the tree that has been changed those points will have to be removed

you obviously cant path through nodes that dont exist anymore

which is part of why its not recommended to play one character forever, because over time the game changes so much that old builds arent possible anymore

also early access standard will be completely separate to full release standard unless ggg has changed their mind but not told anyone

you will have to make a new character on full release if you want to play any new stuff

poe is not the kind of game where you can play the same character forever

[clear talon]

i will do that if i beat the full game

i just want to beat it and then i will stratch fresh if the game is fully changed

[daring dragon]

Be aware that live service games are never rly fully changed.

Mentioning it just in case.

[clear talon]

not even new regions?

[solar remnant]

Well they might be 90% changed in like 20 patches

[clear talon]

but jusr a question will those removed stuff be very late in the future or soon?

[daring dragon]

I mean in terms of characters and buildels

[clear talon]

like can i safly play my old caracter for a long time

like maybe a year

thats good enough for me

[daring dragon]

That entirely depends on the changes GGG makes

Nobody can predict that

[south timber]

One change can be enough to break your entire build

[daring dragon]

But in general old characters and builds regulary lose power or break entirely

[south timber]

Or you can have a build that lasts for multiple patches

[daring dragon]

So it's not advised to play them while not adapting

[clear talon]

but why will they remove a build?

[south timber]

Lightning Arrow Deadeye is a good example of that it’s got some serious longevity

They wouldn’t

They nerf or change skills

[daring dragon]

That's in the nature of the game

[south timber]

Because they’re either too strong or don’t function the way they intended

[clear talon]

so you basicly say i cant play my caracter for a long time?

im someone that likes to complete the game

[daring dragon]

Possibly

[south timber]

You can but you might need to make changes when they nerf/buff stuff

You have more than enough time to complete the game on a new character

[daring dragon]

Then season based arpgs might not be for you

[south timber]

Seasons last for 4 months

[clear talon]

it is for me i love path of exile 2 like there is no game close to it i hate diablo etc but i just dont like the season stuff

[daring dragon]

Uhm

[clear talon]

i just want to play my caracter till i 'complete' the game

[south timber]

That’s how they keep the game fresh

[daring dragon]

It's basically the same thing

Seasons in D4 and leagues in poe2

[clear talon]

if i can play the game till it ends then im fine with it

but if it breaks in less than a month yeah

[daring dragon]

If you dislike D4 because of seasons then poe2 will have the same things u don't like.

[south timber]

Like I said, leagues last for 4 months

[clear talon]

no i dislike d4 bc its too easy

[clear talon]

thats long enough

[wispy sky]

There is really no end, the atlas is "infinite"

[clear talon]

btw how can i know if its time to switch caracter?

[daring dragon]

Ok that's not what you just said

[daring dragon]

That's entirely up to you

[clear talon]

i mean its true d4 is just easy

[daring dragon]

That's not the point

You said u hate Diablo and that u dislike seasons

[lament stone]

well starting a new league is the main time youd make a new character

[daring dragon]

I pointed out Poe operates on the same structure

[lament stone]

a lot of people only make 1 character a league, some make dozens per league

but the big thing is that you miss out on the new league mechanic if you dont play the current league

[clear talon]

what does the league mechanic includes?

like just new weapons?

[lament stone]

and leagues dont always go core (altho you can safely assume all early access poe2 leagues will in some form)

its a whole mechanic like abyss

everything related to abyss was last leagues league mechanic

the abyss pits, desecrated mods, the bosses, etc.

the vaal temple is this league mechanic

[daring dragon]

As well as a way more healthy playerbase

[lament stone]

trading is very hard in standard

[wispy sky]

This league added druid, and a new league mechanic that's allows you to make your own mini map

[lament stone]

druid is core content already

[daring dragon]

Druid isnt league exclusive tho

[wispy sky]

True meant that it came with this patch

[lament stone]

leagues usually do have some core content too, not just the league mechanic

[clear talon]

will the game also have new mapping zones in the future ?

like more 'biomes' or how it calls

[daring dragon]

Likely

[lament stone]

it may get new endgame maps

[clear talon]

if they add that then i will switch ofc

so to be clear: i just play my caracter as long as i can and if it starts to break i just make a new caracter and for new mechanics?

[wispy sky]

.5 is the supposed endgame rework

[lament stone]

its recommended to play your character until the league ends then make a new character in the new league

[wispy sky]

You can play your character as long as you want, even after league ends

[clear talon]

its just me but i dont see any reason to give up my caracter that i spended 200+ hours just to get some new mechanics

[lament stone]

altho early access standard will be separate from full release standard, and idk if that also means it wont receive any new core updates at all after full release

[still hare]

Am I missing something, why isn’t briar patch spirit ability not gaining charges with plant spells?

[lament stone]

the point of the game is to make new builds

[clear talon]

yes but then im already 200 years old

[lament stone]

its not the kind of game where you play the same character forever

[trim turret]

Because by that point the character is basically done and people want to try new builds. It isn't an MMO where it takes months to "finish" a character.

[clear talon]

how can i switch from build actually

is it just create a new caracter

[lament stone]

you make a new character

[clear talon]

okay got it

[lament stone]

you can also respec your current character if your new build would use the same class

[clear talon]

this is just very new for me this type of game with new builds etc

[trim turret]

League mechanics can also be huge. And there's the fresh economy. Plus any core content that gets added which is often enough by itself for people to try something new.

[clear talon]

maybe this is a stupid question but can i like update my progress with a new build

like i get everything back but with a new build

or is that just useless

[south timber]

If you create another character in the same league

You can access anything in your stash/transfer over stuff from your first character’s inventory/equipment

But also unless your new build scales off a lot of the same modifiers having that gear might not be that useful

Unless you just have generic life/res stuff in which case that’s applicable to basically everything during acts

[clear talon]

okay thats actually very helpfull

so thats why people say the game is endless

bc you need to start over again with new content

[hollow elk]

What's the difference between x % increased DMG and x % more DMG?

[quick pike]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/damage-scaling

more is multiplicative

[hollow elk]

Ty! I must binge this site even more

[trim turret]

Also the sheer amount of content. In POE1 there are whole pieces of side content I don't touch from league to league because I don't need/want to. Its not a game you "beat." You set goals for yourself and complete them for the league, then set new goals for the next league.

[south timber]

Well that and the fact that even after you “finish” the story you can effectively play the game forever

Like there’s no end to mapping, once you get to endgame you can do that content infinitely for as long as you can stand it

[clear talon]

btw does the druid system work with every build that you can transform to a dragon\wolf\bear

[south timber]

Yes

You just equip a talisman (weapon) on another class and can transform as them

There are people running wolf on monk and bear on warrior for example

[clear talon]

damn cool

[south timber]

Any skill and weapon can be used on any class provided you have the attribute requirements, and some classes have better trees/ascendancy options for certain skills

[dapper fulcrum]

Doing the empty charm slots shaman thing, is there any point to going for a belt with 3 charm slots? I only see 3 total in the menu

and one is free in campaign

[clear talon]

btw does the game also reset the skills or does it stay there

[quick pike]

no , not the skill gems

[lament stone]

at the moment, no

[clear talon]

ngl this game is so fun i never had so much fun in a game ever

[lament stone]

they have plans to eventually have 6 charm slots, so it will matter at some point in the future

but right now theres no difference between having 2 slots or 3 slots on your belt

[quick pike]

this the league mechanic for this league , they do stuff like this https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/0-4-fate-of-the-vaal-league-mechanic ,more or less

[dapper fulcrum]

I guess the question is if they buffed the node to compensate or if it's only half as good right now

[mild seal]

if you are at 100% hp and 35% mana with Serpent's Lesson ... do you count as low life and full life at the same time ?

[quick pike]

You count as on Low Life while at 35% of maximum Mana or below with Serpent's Lesson ,normally low life is 35% or below of your life

[lament stone]

that sounds like it should work

[mild seal]

so is it mutual exclusive ? any idea ... like does low life overwrite full life

[lament stone]

.

[south timber]

Is there an effect you’re trying to use while at full life

If so, test it

[hexed pecan]

where i can create a ticket about bugs and glitches

[mild seal]

nah im just thinking about what to build

[quick pike]

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-forum/2214

[clear talon]

my skill slot is empty now is it possible to add more?

i can only use 8 skills

[lament stone]

only with unset rings, but you shouldnt need that many skills

9 skill gem slots should be enough

[trim turret]

How many skills are you trying to use? Usually 8 is more than enough and some of those are for spirit skills.

[plain dune]

can someone help me about price checking?

[plain dune]

okay ty and one more question

can/should i use rib on this body armour

can i get a new stat or will it change an existing one?c

[hearty walrus]

idk honestly. i don't do any crafting

[sweet sun]

okay so to get the dreamer version I just have to collect crap ton of shrine ones orb of chance them and when I get the unique version then vaal it for chance for dreamer correct?

[lament stone]

yes

[plain dune]

kkay

[plain dune]

does anybody know about that

[upper cobalt]

Would crossbow/witch hunter or a werewolf build be easier for a league starter?

[mental horizon]

How to understand this,it’s shows that I did but I didn’t receive +5 to mana

[clear talon]

do the bosses stay forever in the game btw?

or will they like change

in the future

[quick pike]

yeah the pinnacle bosses , they will change some , make them better , add more bosses too , next league is a big endgame rework

[clear talon]

nice

btw guys i need some help im stuck in the count geonor boss. Do i need to buy armour that has more armour: number or with hp shield?

[quick pike]

they just added Atziri to poe2 with this league mechanic , she was the first big boss in poe1 back in 2014 , she's still in poe1 but she's kinda dated

[trim turret]

Resists and life are most important. Cold res is good against geonor. Armour protects against physical hits specifically. Make sure you're holding ALT and reading underlined words so you can see what things do and how they work.

[trim turret]

Both should be fine generally speaking.

[quick pike]

no , there are 4 acts and 3 interludes that are placeholder

[trim turret]

Make sure you're using low tier currency like transmutes and augments, checking vendors, using runes when you can.

[hearty walrus]

cruel was removed last league

[hexed charm]

is there a way to change ascendacy?

[quick pike]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/respec-ascendancy

[mental horizon]

Anyone have similar issues in act 4?

[velvet edge]

Anyone had this?

He just dissapeared

mid fight

[quick pike]

not ,me , fought him twice this league , try to reset the zone , ctrl+click on the zone entrance or waypoint

[velvet edge]

I cant exit lol

I think i have to log for 15 mins

[hardy sun]

You can force it

Log out, hold ctrl during "start"

It'll put your character in hideout

[velvet edge]

Oh didnt know that one, thanks

never neeeded it but nice

pain, gotta run through resevour again but hopefully he dies this time

[hardy sun]

I've gotten glitched on different bosses when you can't kill them for various reasons, especially that bell guy who runs around

[umbral grotto]

what about this ring is giving me cast speed?

this ring here somehow has less cast speed than the one i posted earlier so less damage

[trim turret]

Are the stats from the other one enabling a piece of gear or a support gem that gets disabled when you swap them?

[flint plume]

That was my guess too. 5 dex short on a support gem or piece of gear that gives cast speed without the dex ring

[umbral grotto]

ahh i think your right? but idk

[flint plume]

Does any piece of gear turn red when you put on the other ring?

[umbral grotto]

note the cast time and cast per second changes, they are soo minor and im not close to any stat caps

[flint plume]

Looks like support gems aren't the issue

[umbral grotto]

the ring with increased cold damage has the faster cast time, it makes no sense i see nothing red on gear

strange idk

[flint plume]

Yeah, doesn't look like it's a support gem or gear requirement issue

Not sure, hopefully someone else can come up with something

[umbral grotto]

thanks for taking a look

maybe some odd passive interaction no idea

[hoary citrus]

i defeting the twin boss fight yet this is still active, and i didn't get any buff from fighting them

[quick pike]

you should get 2 skill points

[indigo glacier]

Guys hello all what exactly to do in temple of the vaal to open after 5 runes?Sorry i m a new in game

[clear talon]

im still stuck at the last boss of act 1 XD

i think my level is too low

[quick pike]

what lvl are you , it's all about the gear , get a better weapon

[clear talon]

im level 16

i use these weapons

[finite spruce]

How to make Rampage last longer?

[quick pike]

yeah bad weapons , get a talisman with % physical and some flat dmg

[hardy bramble]

more rage probably

[flint plume]

Hold down button, have more rage

It lasts as long as you are holding the button and have rage to spend

[finite spruce]

OMG

this works! XD

I didn't know I need to do that thanks

[umbral grotto]

how can i get people to buy my items?
im getting tells but cant they just travel to my hideout?

[flint plume]

Are your items in a premium tab or a merchant tab?

[clear talon]

where can i find it

[umbral grotto]

i think its in a premium tab

[south timber]

Then you need to invite them and go to your hideout to physically trade with them

Merchant tab is how you do asynchronous trade

[umbral grotto]

ahh i see now

[quick pike]

from drops , pick white , blue ,rare talismans , use transmutation , augmentation orbs on them , check vendors

[umbral grotto]

havnt played since last year

so thats new i like it tho

[south timber]

Yeah it’s a very recent change

[flint plume]

If you bought the premium tab before merchant tabs existed you can convert it for free if you want

[umbral grotto]

ohhreally !

You have no rings. Do you have any resistances?

[clear talon]

i dont think so

i dint find any of them

[south timber]

Having resistances and life helps immensely

[trim turret]

What do you mean you don't find any of them? Are you looking at all gear that drops to see if it has resistances and life on it?

[clear talon]

yes im also checking the shops if they sell it but they dont sell any good items anymore

[south timber]

Also based on your current skill bar setup it doesn’t seem like you know what you’re doing skill-wise which indicates to me you may not have a great passive tree setup either

You should be able to find decent gear on the ground even in poe2

Life and resistances is what you want on everything that’s not your weapon

[trim turret]

Buy white items and use currency on them then. Max life and resistances are the most important stats on all non-weapon gear.

[south timber]

In poe2 you don’t need instantly amazing gear and you can make do with magic (blue) in act 1

[clear talon]

you mean staffs?

[south timber]

No

Literally any item you either don’t have or that isn’t good

Rings, armor, anything

[trim turret]

No? You aren't using staffs. I'm talking about items other than your weapon. You want life and resistances on them.

Check vendors and see of they have rings. Sapphire rings have cold resist as an implicit.

[quick pike]

raxx started a new character from 0 in hcssf , watch a bit at start and see what he does https://youtu.be/HTy1fFTec3s?t=1094 , do you even have a lootfilter ?

[desert sedge]

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

[subtle arch]

Does Stun Recovery affect sprint "stun"?
Stun talisman didn't seem to work I got hit while sprinting, so I'm assuming sprint is not counted as stun?

[trim turret]

Getting hit while sprinting is a heavy stun. You don't just get interrupted, you fall over. And charms don't prevent the initial hit, they more prevent them from being stacked against you.

[subtle arch]

Thanks for clarifying, much appreciated. Didn't know that about the stun charm, but I guess it's still quite useful regardless.

BTW, elemental charms can't make me go over max resistance during their effects right?

If I have 75% CR, that 25% CR from cold charm won't do anything will it?

[quick pike]

no , but you can go over max if you have + to max res , hard cap is 90%

[subtle arch]

I'll focus on slow/frozen/stun then, maybe adding an elemental one if a certain resist is lacking.

[unreal lichen]

why the damn fuck everytime I talk to npc or tp to another map, it switch my weapon set ? I've changed the sortcut cause I thought I was missclicking it but still doing this

[quick pike]

are you using the skill that a weapon gives, or maybe a skill is set to that weapon , press g and check the skills >

[sullen ginkgo]

idk if this is a known issue but my stash tab looks empty. i can trow things in as in they diffapear from my bags and arent in any other tab but it keeps showing empty.

[south timber]

If you’re transformed then it will automatically switch you to your second weapon set (at least from what I’ve seen)

[south timber]

Are they going to a tab with affinity for that item?

[unreal lichen]

ah that weird but yeah thats when I transform xD

[south timber]

Yeah when you talk to someone it automatically switches you

[plain dune]

guys how much is tihs?

[sullen ginkgo]

i have 2 stash tabs.... did everyone get one? i never bought 2 tabs....

[hardy bramble]

check on currency exchange

[plain dune]

my price check is not showing anything

[plain dune]

ah kay tysm

[south timber]

What I mean is, check whether any of your stash tabs have an affinity ticked (right click on them at the top and see if anything’s ticked)

If they have an affinity then any items of that type will automatically go into that tab even if you’re on another one

[sullen ginkgo]

this is how i found out i had 2 tabs. my mats normally have that and it didnt

but its just that i right clicked the other tab somehow and it got placed in the top spot. i still dont know why i have to stash tabs for currency

[lament stone]

are you in standard and did you play a previous league?

it could be a remove only tab

[finite spruce]

Is interlude the last act?

[silent flax]

i got a piece of armor that says '29% of armor also applies to elemental damage' does it mean my armor rating or just that piecees amor stat?

[quick pike]

there are 3 interludes

[finite spruce]

Thought it means it's the end of the story

[quick pike]

the interludes are placeholder for now

[finite spruce]

That's a shame

I wanted to know what happens xd

[south timber]

You will soon, once they release more acts

[burnt river]

This has happened to me a few times - a build will say to use a certain support gem, I search for the gem and it doesn't show up?

[trim turret]

Pretty sure that is a global mod and applies to your total armor.

[trim turret]

Aren't you missing a C there in the search?

[south timber]

Click on “all gems”

[burnt river]

@trim turret Holy shit lmao

[south timber]

Or navigate down to it if you’re on PS

[burnt river]

I know the word enroaching, didn't think encroaching was a thing haha. Thanks

[south timber]

Yeah it means like growing, expanding into occupied space sort of thing

I’ve never heard the word “enroaching” though

[dry anchor]

Better to full clear areas when going through campaign or just go for objectives/ rewards on campaign map

And do I wanna use semi strict or very strict filter when going through campaign

[quick pike]

objectives/ rewards , on my first character each league in the campaign I use semi strict

in endgame maps I've used strict and then switch in tier 8 to very strict

[umbral grotto]

how do i unlock Npc's for hideout? it says to visit with them?

[quick pike]

the expedition ones you must find them in maps after the campaign

where are nine pilars?? in Qimah

[lament stone]

its that one tiny corner you missed near the entrance

[hoary citrus]

f*ck

[hard blade]

Hm i wonder how would a shaman unearth build would work?

Stack rage = spell and minion damage and physical

[gloomy silo]

So my buddy plays on xbox and he's trying to get a map filter but when he got to item filter and selects the web icon it take him to poe1 and he only has access to his character from poe1 not poe2?

[flint plume]

I think item filter subscribing might still be on the PoE1 website even for PoE2 filters but not sure. There are some PoE2 features that still use the PoE1 website

[gloomy silo]

Right but doesn't he need to select his character to apply that filter too

But he can't select poe2 characters only poe1

[flint plume]

I don't actually know how it works on XBox. On PC you don't apply a filter to a character, you subscribe to a filter and then it will show up as an option to choose in the in-game options menu

[gloomy silo]

Yea I've got it working on my end and I looked up how to do it for xbox but yea were at a loss

[twin rivet]

Ive been kinda skipping the temple builder things because i dont really get it but should i just slap parts down in thete each time anyway? Also once you make it how many time can you run it? Like can you only run the new rooms?

[quick pike]

try to put flags and other rooms next to each other , one of the goal is to make rooms tier 3 , you can run all the rooms and at the end you close the temple lose like 2-3 rooms and find 6 more circles in zone ,place the rooms and you can run the temple from the start

[flint plume]

You run it once every 6 rooms you put down, after running it some rooms will randomly get deleted but not all of them

[hard blade]

Hm how will I have unearths minions be always active then during a boss? In poe2

[trim turret]

One way is the sacrifice spirit gem, which lets you use your skeletons as corpses.

[hard blade]

Oh so its still possible right ?

[trim turret]

I believe so. Haven't done it myself.

[hard blade]

It's a level 14 spirit skill gem so it probably wont be untill act 4 I get it

[trim turret]

I mean plus unearth minions are meant to be more for clearing and you should also have permanent minions anyway.

[copper spindle]

Can someone maybe let me stream to figure out why i cant get a certain spirit-buff to turn on? ive tried everything

[trim turret]

What message is it giving you?

[copper spindle]

i have 30 spirit, i have a shield and i have no 2ndary weapons (ive tried with or without)

[clear talon]

is there smth wrong with the servers?

my game whas stuck and now im back in the login screen

[trim turret]

Have you enabled magma barrier just for weapon set 1 and unchecked the box for weapon set 2? That's been coming up.

[copper spindle]

i cant use it for either weapon set but weapon set 2 is cleared and doesnt have weapons atm

well now it does cuz i got a hammer to put there but same outcome, idk how to do just for weapon set 1

[trim turret]

Click the little arrow next to the skill. A window opens up with checkboxes for weapon set 1 and 2. Un-check weapon set 2.

[long solstice]

asala isnt opening the gates what do i do

[flint plume]

Is she stuck fighting some monsters? That happened to me and I had to kill the monsters so she's go open the gate

If she's actually just sitting there doing nothing there's a chance it's bugged, not sure

[frank sonnet]

I'm doing trial of chaos for the first time this league and the ground effects are, like, impossible to see

the runes that get bigger, the lightning runes, etc, have hardly any effect

is this a known issue or something?

[hardy sun]

I have a hard time seeing it too. I eventually got used to how big the ground aoe is, there's definitely options i avoid picking

[hollow elk]

haaaang on. I can use NORMAL skill gems AS support gems for other skills? Freezing Mark, for example?!

[frank sonnet]

it seems to be all ground effects though, like I'm a bear and this is my fissures

they're hardly doing anything

[flint plume]

For some specific skills only. For example, you can put a mark in the support gem slot of pounce to make it apply that mark instead of predator's mark

[flint plume]

I think it's an issue the game has in general that a lot of foliage and stuff renders over ground effects even though the ground effects are much, much more important

[hollow elk]

aaah, that is INSTEAD? geez, this game is confusion overload xD

[flint plume]

Read the description of Pounce, I think it says that. But yeah, the game is super complicated

[hollow elk]

yeah 🙁 thanks ! ❤️

[flint plume]

The bear warcry has a similar thing where it has a default effect but you can replace it with a different warcry

[hollow elk]

how can I see which normal skill gems can be used like that?

[sturdy tree]

Hi deadeye LA+Rod is always good or need to change please?

[flint plume]

Generally it's only if it says in the skill. Like the interaction with pounce and marks is a special interaction that it says on the pounce gem.

[frank sonnet]

here is the lightning guy... is this a stealth rune!? 😄

[trim turret]

Is dynamic culling enabled for particle effects?

[flint plume]

Yeah, the lightning runes have always been a pain to see. It's especially bad in the ones where you have to kill enemies in a circle because the circles look very similar

Unfortunately while PoE's got amazing art direction in terms of stuff like atmosphere and cool monster designs, visual clarity has always been a big weakness of both games

[trim turret]

It may not ALWAYS be good but its still fine.

[hollow elk]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/woolie-wolfman#skill-gems-0
can somebody explain to me WHY this thing with using savage fury and herald of ice at the same time even works? to me it would sound like they are both spirit skills so I can only use one. Why does using this weapon set stuff "hack" that?

[flint plume]

You can have spirit skills set to only be active with one weapon set. Also you an have multiple spirit skills active at the same time as long as you have enough spirit

[hollow elk]

yeah ok but I only have 30 spirit and I am only basically using one weapon set (wolf form)

so why can I still use both?

[flint plume]

You can set both weapon sets to use the same weapon

So that you can take advantage of weapon set swap stuff without needing two different weapons

[trim turret]

You get 100 spirit just from the campaign.

[flint plume]

In this case it does actually look like the guide intends for you to use both when you only have 30 spirit still, it just has you using them on different weapon sets

[hollow elk]

that sounds a little illogical to me, I dont get it. I mean, how can one weapon be two weapon sets between which I "switch"?

[hollow elk]

I'm just in act 2

[trim turret]

It's designed so if you want to have two different weapons but use the same off hand for both sets, you can. But it also allows you to lock your weapon to both sets and have skills and weapon set passives assigned. I did it last league with my attacks and then all my warcry buffs on my second weapon set.

[hollow elk]

hm okay I see. And what actually happens when I use herald passively and savage fury actively? where does the weapon switching happen?

[trim turret]

I actually don't know. I'm on mobile and I'd need to take a closer look.

But thats a way later setup anyway.

Herald of ice should be fine for some time.

[hollow elk]

wdym way later? seems I can use both just fine mid act 2

or do you mean it's overkill

[trim turret]

Sorry was taking into account the rage regen skill as well.

[trim turret]

I'm GUESSING you manually swap to set 2, use it until you can activate savage fury, then switch back to set 1 for Herald of ice.

[hollow elk]

but ... I'm just hammering left click (or wherever shred is mapped), using herald, and eventually I pop savage frenzy mapped to some key x

[flint plume]

Originally there idea was that you could have different skills and different nodes on your tree use different weapons, and had to have a different weapon in each weapon set. Except there were a lot of builds that wanted to be able to have different skills use different nodes on the tree without actually using different weapons, so they added the ability to use the same weapon in both weapon sets. And use cases where you have different sets of spirit skills active in different weapon sets have also popped up

[trim turret]

I don't know how that would work since they both reserve spirit and you only have 30 and based on my understanding you need to have savage fury turned on (reserving spirit) before you can build fury for it and trigger its buffs.

[hollow elk]

that aligns with how I as a newbie would understand it. But it seems to work, and I'm hella confused how

so when I go to the skill menu, when I transform to wolf, herald of ice is active. When I have the staff out, savage fury is marked as active

[trim turret]

And you get onslaught and the life drain and everything?

[hollow elk]

BUT i can stack fury while wolf is active

and then activate it

yep

[trim turret]

That's gotta be a bug.

Or the description of the skill is incorrect.

[hollow elk]

that would make so much more sense

I mean this whole line "it works as normal but doesn't reserve Spirit lol)" tripped me up

[trim turret]

Yep that's laughter at it not working correctly in the player's favor.

[solar remnant]

Why do i feel none of druid asc really affects wyvern or wolf and affects bear a lot

[trim turret]

Depends which nodes in particular you're talking about. I'm going shaman wolf and having trouble deciding because all the nodes are useful.

[flint plume]

Bear uses rage the most but all three forms use rage and basically all the non-rage nodes affect all of the forms equally

So honestly I don't know why you feel that way because I don't think it's really true

[gray elk]

should I stop trying to go through HCSSF

I keep getting filtered act 2

[half granite]

any idea how I can get the lock button to lock my bow to use with both weapon sets? I mouse over the tabs and there's no option to lock

[flint plume]

It's up to you. If you're having fun trying, go for it. If you want to see what the rest of the game and higher levels are like, then maybe not

HCSSF is the kind of thing where for some people it's the most fun way to play and for other people it's miserable. Just depends on what you want out of the game

[compact juniper]

you can assign skills to a weaponset in the gem inventory, that way you have control over what is happening

[half granite]

hmm ya the lock weapon icon wasn't showing up until I changed my weapon out 3 or 4 times, then it just started showing up

[jade skiff]

I got heavy stunned running into a pack and exited the game. How long do I need to wait for my character to be reset to town?

[hearty walrus]

immediately. you can choose to spawn in town on character select

[hollow elk]

what are the most useful stash tabs to buy, besides currency?

merchant and gem?

[hard knot]

am I able to use malice skill on my omen sceptre and rattling sceptre simutaneously ?

[jade skiff]

omg that's amazing, I logged at like 15%... so scary

how do I avoid heavy stun? do I need a trinket? I don't recall if it was stun or heavy stun

[compact juniper]

merchant is needed for trading yeah, map and currency are almost necessary, rest is qol but not too annoying to live without

[hollow elk]

map is for endgame yeah? I'm only in act 2

[hearty walrus]

if you were sprinting, then you got heavy stunned

[jade skiff]

yeah I was, does a stun charm avoid that? or should I not really sprint in hc?

[compact juniper]

in that case just take the currency and wait with other purchases :D but yeah map is for endgame, if you enjoy it and play far into it you end up owning 100 map stones of different tiers and the sheer volume will completely overwhelm you. But many players enjoy getting into the lategame more than grinding it out, thats why you can wait and see

[gray elk]

Ah ok, I like how it plays I just wasn’t sure if I should learn the game more on softcore before jumping back into hcssf

[hollow elk]

thanks! then I just take what I like for now and see if I make it to the endgame 😛

[flint plume]

It'll definitely be easier to learn the game on softcore first. But how you enjoy learning the game is part of what's up to you

[hard knot]

if i use rattling sceptre mainhand and have omen sceptre on offhand, will malice skill from omen sceptre still work?

pls help

[flint plume]

Pretty sure you can't use 2 scepters

[trim turret]

Offhand or second weapon set? Also, wait for a response. People may not know off the tops of their heads.

[gray elk]

How can I make melee more enjoyable? I really like druid but when I try to start a warrior or monk I’m just like

[hard knot]

i don't get you

[jade skiff]

Is it possble to buy runes anywhere in SSF? like gamble?

[trim turret]

Like are you talking about dual wielding sceptres or having an omen sceptre in your second weapon set?

[hard knot]

having an omen sceptre in my 2nd weapon set

i have rattling sceptre in my first

[trim turret]

Only the weapon set you have equipped applies.

[hard knot]

okay

[compact juniper]

well I enjoy starting my meele characters with a bow and transition back to meele when the first good skills get unlocked. Iirc I played monk like a ranger until lvl 16

the lategame builds for meeles are usually fun (if you find something to your liking that is)

[gray elk]

Ahh ok

I really like slams and stuff like that

Bear druid so good

[wispy sky]

Charms only help after you get stunned, pathfinder has a new node that prevents getting heavy stunned while sprinting. You can sprint just pay attention

[wispy sky]

Go bear warrior, the forms are tied to the talismans

[waxen osprey]

has someone tried out the oracle node that consumes mana instead of hp if mana > hp? does that lead to constant mana potion chucking or can their be comfortable gameplay?

[hardy sun]

Depends on how you build, sometimes people go pure mana. Mana leech and spell recoup is enough to sustain if you build it correctly

[zenith umbra]

At what lvl should I go for 5-6th ascendancy points I forgot cause I haven’t played since first league

any tips to beating utzaal boss? the chaos spear one\

[hardy sun]

viper? she's rough. having some chaos res is helpful, but a lot of it is learning her patterns

good phys defense helps too

[haughty temple]

my main problem is the wave of spears fron one end to other, its one shot me

[hardy sun]

i try to time my dodge rolls through those spears

[hybrid star]

learn to time your dodge, you don't have to avoid the stabs you can dodge into it and not taking damage

[hardy sun]

if you watch the soldiers, they glow green just before the spears come out, it's fast but there's a timing to it

[haughty temple]

argh, its just super annoying 1k hp adn 19% chaos resist currently

she goes immune so my leech and buffs fall off 🙁
