your defense stats should be good enough, it's just finding the window to attack and hit her without taking damage.

during my 1st playthrough, i just started trying to focus on purely dodging, no offense at all, tryin to learn to dodge/avoid

[haughty temple]

made it. stupid immune phases

problem was she was doing spear wave back to back cause i was doing too much damage

[hybrid star]

suffering from success

[haughty temple]

well im 100% damage and leech based blood mage, and then she was immune

[hazy wren]

sooo when does the spirit thing start

[mental horizon]

Need help/interlude

[copper spindle]

Can I please get help figuring out why I can't turn on a spirit thing?

[quick pike]

[quick pike]

try going closer to the piano , if that doesn't work , try reseting the zone , ctrl+click on the waypoint or zone entrance

[copper spindle]

Okay hold on tho if i put a 2 hander there how do i get it to toggle back on or off if i swap?

[copper spindle]

i feel like my warrior does so low dmg compared to monk

[quick pike]

bear warrior is really good, shield wall warrior too

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/starter-builds?ws-ngf1-58b82dc8-c370-43a1-bff8-3ded54d712a9=tag-class%2Cwarrior

[copper spindle]

[quick pike]

put if in path of building 2

in import build

[sharp sluice]

I've got 300 points and there's a stash tab sale, what tabs should I get?

[quick pike]

currency,map,merchant tab for the new trade , these are the most important

the gem one is nice, some normal tabs

[sharp sluice]

What's the main use for gem stash tab, is it where you throw all the support gems you tried out and didn't like?

[icy oracle]

Can someone help me? Im stuck in trial of chaos
I dont know what to do but the levers aren't working

i cant get to the other part of the map 💔

[quick pike]

that too , but you get a lot of uncut skill gems, support gems

[quick pike]

hmm some monster is still there ,try to find it

[icy oracle]

nothing was here when i came in though

it was empty

its a small area too

[sharp sluice]

Ah, and looking at a guide it seems like the amount of gems held is "more gems than you're gonna farm in an entire league"

[quick pike]

is it the first trial of chaos the quest one ? tp and make try it again , you don't lose the quest trial , if tp doesn't work log to character and ctrl+click on the login

[icy oracle]

alright, i tried closing out the game, hopefully that works

it is the first one

[quick pike]

I have 127 of them

[sharp sluice]

Yeah 500 gems compared to the 144 of just yeeting a bunch of gems into a regular tab

[icy oracle]

stuck again oml

[quick pike]

wait do you have all highlights off ? press z

[icy oracle]

oh my god thank you 😭

i didnt know that was a thing

[quick pike]

yeah I have that on and switched it to [ so I don't press it by mistake

[chilly sphinx]

Hey what you think Titan bear or shaman ? ^^

[quick pike]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/starter-builds?ws-ngf1-58b82dc8-c370-43a1-bff8-3ded54d712a9=tag-class%2Cwarrior

titan bear

[obsidian forge]

there are many skill gems if you were to store them in a tab they would take up a lot of space

in the gem tab you can easily separate between different gems

[obsidian forge]

currency, skill gem, a merchant tab, a quad tab

[placid creek]

WHY?!
Why my summons die so easily?!

WHY I CANT IMPROVE THE SURVIVABILITY?

THEY'RE CONSTANTLY DIE ON BOSSES AOE ATTACKS

[copper spindle]

Should i be doing warcry or negative armor first for warbringer ascendency?

[quick pike]

try https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-lich-build-guide early on ,yeah they die , but if you do something like this build , they kill everything

[placid creek]

I already playing on it and my minions are die on bosses

In poe1 there be so rare

I hate poe 2 by those

[placid creek]

i interesting how to make minions more durable

[quick pike]

gear and gems, gem lvl, search for a sceptre with +1 to minions, check vendors , pick all scentres , use transmute and augmentation orbs on them

[placid creek]

and which affixes i should roll for minions

[quick pike]

check that build guide , you want a sceptre with + to minions , allies in you presence deal more dmg , you can get + to minions on helm,amulet ,late game + 2 on focus

[fluid ridge]

Hi there folks sorry to ask as this seems obvious, but when these dropped from a boss it was white and red? And I'm not sure what that means, are these like good or something?

[quick pike]

the passive tree has hp to minions too

[placid creek]

tbh the minions in poe 2 are shittiest and frustrating experience even in 0.4

[fluid ridge]

Side note: Thanks for the advice Flo, I've gotten to Act 4 rather comfortably now

[placid creek]

minions squishy easy die and other those

i hate ggg by those

why they wont improve minions?

Vision?

[quick pike]

minions are super good

[placid creek]

idk

anything than vaal guard are suck

[quick pike]

the new sorc ascendancy is a top tier minion build , Powered Zealots spectres are great

[placid creek]

wolf pack are useless pile of shit, skeletal from sceptres are useless pile of shit

[placid creek]

Wait...
How sorc Varashta works

currently im on lich

[quick pike]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate of the Vaal/XO0lZYJcP expensive item

[fluid ridge]

Wolf pack seems like it would work well for any build where you want Quantity over Quality since it gives you a whole pack as opposed to individual wolves per spirit invested, if I am reading it right

[fluid ridge]

Ah...wow, but I can't sell it without a merchan't tab can I...?

[quick pike]

on lich early on use ed contagion + the minions , it's amazing

[placid creek]

Disciple of Varashta? Really? Good minion build?

HOW

[fluid ridge]

Genies.

[quick pike]

do you have a premium tab ?

[placid creek]

But their not a classic minions

they're just spell animations

with diff scale

[fluid ridge]

I have this thing

[placid creek]

Im running with those too

Really i dont understand where and how minions in poe 2 are really good

[grand wing]

Maybe off topic but can someone tell me what the greyed out mods are on this trade tab?

[quick pike]

yeah you can't really sell without a mechant tab or premium tab , hmm you could put it on the space in the middle and make the tab public and set a price

[placid creek]

Only what i found it is ghazzy build

On sorc with frost mages

[fluid ridge]

:(

[quick pike]

overall stats ,29 str is 58 hp

[placid creek]

Genies are not summons

[grand wing]

thank you

[placid creek]

Probably because im playing on a lich minion build

[fluid ridge]

Genies are summons

UwU

[quick pike]

they scale with summon dmg , + to minions and stuf

I'm lvl 85 in ssf playing that

[fluid ridge]

They're summons you whip into doing their goddamn job

[placid creek]

I mean they dont have hp and other summons attribute

they're just spells animation with diff scale

[quick pike]

I have a huge army of summons + the djinns

[placid creek]

Hm

Looks like i should try this

i hope varashta are really good as summoner

[icy oracle]

oh my god

i hate the trials of chaos

i swear u gotta just eat the dmg sometimes

maybe im too low lvl or something

[placid creek]

Can u share your build?

[quick pike]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/sandscorcher-disciple-of-varashta

[placid creek]

I just didnt find any minion army varashta

only on djinns

and ghazzy tv frost build

[placid creek]

thanks!

would try this

sorry i have a trauma at 0.2 and i really love summoners
and i maybe overthinking but sometimes i found a minion gameplay frustrateful

[quick pike]

you could lvl with https://www.poe-vault.com/poe2/sorceress/disciple-of-varashta/djinn-minion-leveling-guide

[placid creek]

really... frustrateful
lack of guides lack of info no one want to help with minions

[placid creek]

Ty

[hearty walrus]

ghazzy and Kay

[gloomy silo]

How do I tell the max affix number for a affix like if it say +19 dex what's the highest it could be?

[placid creek]

They only helps....

[icy oracle]

how is he stuck up there??

man fuck this trial shi 😭

[quick pike]

you check on https://poe2db.tw/us/Modifiers it's based on ilvl , press alt to see it

[gloomy silo]

Sweet thanks

[quick pike]

for example ilvl 1 chest armour +(10—19) to maximum Life,ilvl 46 +(85—99) to maximum Life

[icy oracle]

does trial of chaos scale with your level?

i need to do this shi later

im getting one shotted

[grand wing]

nah it doesnt it'll tell u what the lvl of monsters are on the trial orb in your invent

[icy oracle]

thank god

ty

[grand wing]

np man

[icy oracle]

imma just level up first before I do it again

its actually impossible

[grand wing]

yeah it's not easy

[icy oracle]

is there another way i can reset my class? thats the only reason im doing it

my ascendency i mean

[grand wing]

i have no idea sorry man

i dont think so

but i havent tried it before

[icy oracle]

its alr, ty

[quick pike]

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

[icy oracle]

i need to find out where to get Djinn Barya

thank you

[quick pike]

if you're trade you could buy a low lvl one

[icy oracle]

oh nice okay

[somber star]

So I just found out there's an in game market lol. I can see the dps listed on weapons in the market but my own weapon in inventory or quipped doesn't have a dps stat...how can I see that to compare what I have to what's on the market?

[glad slate]

What is the point of belts with 3 charm slots ? (didn't you get a extra slot from that vastiri thing, so you only need a belt with 2 slots since you get the last from that thing?)

[hearty walrus]

iirc, devs said there'll eventually be 6 charm slots

[hearty walrus]

(sum of min damage+sum of max damage)/2 x attack speed

[somber star]

That's alot of maths to manually do when the game can obviously show the answer instantly lol

[tame relic]

hi i got stuck in the molten vault, in the boss fight i killed the boss with the skill cull the weak but now i`m on the wrong side and i cannot retrive the quest item...

what can i do now :c?

[somber star]

I assume start a new version of the map by holding ctrl when clicking to enter and hitting new and then redo map/fight 🙁

[tame relic]

F i was curious about that unique item

Btw thanks

[somber star]

Unless you have a teleport and it works to move over that idk

I assume it's a wall that likely can't be passed but maybe it can

[tame relic]

nope i tried a lot but neither
or any ability could get the trough

[somber star]

Can I get any of the free hideouts early on?

[hearty walrus]

can you portal?

[somber star]

Err I just bought a merchant stash tab and it didn't appear in my stash tabs and I bought a 2nd one thinking it must of failed to purchase and it did take my coins but even the 2nd one didn't appear 🙁

[hearty walrus]

merchant tabs don't go in your stash

you can access them through an npc you meet in act 4

[somber star]

Oh crap I've never made it past the boss with the waves of poison damage in act 3 ever......

I think I just wasted all of that

[hearty walrus]

you can contact support and they can likely refund

[upper cobalt]

how do u buy trial of sekhemas? i was watching a movie and my little timer thing ran out 😭

[hearty walrus]

there's no timer in sekhemas

you can buy them on the trade market

[upper cobalt]

the little hourglass thing

[upper cobalt]

when i search it says no results

[somber star]

I always have 0 chaos resist and so the poison damage kills me and the fights impossible to dodge it all

[hearty walrus]

oh, that room

[upper cobalt]

wait what is that? only thing i know is the poe2 trade site and Ange to exchange currency

[hearty walrus]

press "/"

[upper cobalt]

YO WHAT

never knew ab this

[hearty walrus]

in game trade browser. you can also use the website

[upper cobalt]

oh bro i was searching "trial of sekhemas" not djinn barya 💀

tysm

[hearty walrus]

make sure you get one of appropriate level

[upper cobalt]

yep 10 ex later

tyty

[hollow elk]

hey guys, and thanks in advance! I'm in mid act 2 before trial, previously I have treated spirit uncut gemstones as somewhat valuable but since I cant run multiple spirit skills simultaneously either way, I just use them to upgrade my spirit skills now, right?

[still jacinth]

Is the bear supposed to be so fleshy

Coz i keep dying

Like i need to put in too much effort to not die

[lament stone]

are you prioritising life and elemental resists on your gear?

[nimble gull]

why cant i reserve herald of ice and overwhelming presence when i have 60 spirit total and it says i need 30 for each skill, am i missing something here?

[wispy sky]

Are you using the keystone that allows for a sceptre in the offhand with a talisman

[nimble gull]

nope

[wispy sky]

Are they locked to a specific weapon set?

[nimble gull]

i tried to uncheck one weapon set and now they are locked for each weapon set lol

[wispy sky]

Lol,Just check it for both sets

[nimble gull]

i cant XD

[wispy sky]

Also are you using a martial weapon?

Hearld of ice requires a martial weapon

[nimble gull]

a talisman, and a cheap wand to cast thunderstorm, wolf druid

[wispy sky]

Hmmm, try swapping zones or restart

[lament stone]

well herald of ice cant be active in the weapon set that uses a wand

[somber star]

Does this mean I do more elemental damage if I gain armour? Or that my armour now blocks a certain % of elemental damage?

[lament stone]

your armour now applies to a percentage of elemental damage

so if you have 1000 armour, 300 armour applies to any elemental damage you take

[somber star]

So armour normally doesn't do anything?

[lament stone]

armour normally only applies to physical damage from hits

this allows a percentage of it to apply to elemental damage from hits

doesnt apply to damage over time at all

[somber star]

How does this interact with elemental resists?

[lament stone]

it applies after elemental resists

[wispy sky]

Before

Which is why armor in bad spot

[lament stone]

oh right

[wispy sky]

You can also get the percentage over 100%

[limber flame]

what is this blue outline around my punce skill

[hollow elk]

how big is the risk of taking a pledge "gain a random minor boon" + "gain a random minor affliction" ? it's my first trial run and I'm a new player. It's the chamber before the boss

damn I dont dare 😄 i think I continue without the pledge

why do I have -10 % fire res? like, I dont have any items that give that, and I have a ruby charm with +25% fire res equipped

[frank sonnet]

each act incurs a -10% res penalty

[hollow elk]

and does the number in the character screen show the resulting total?

because, by my math, I would have + 15 then (-10 + 25)

I guess I can not port out of the trial to stash/sell stuff?

[scenic bloom]

Is it save to leave the league temple via portal/the entrance to stash or sell stuff to alva?

feels like sometimes it lets you reenter, sometimes it doesnt

[frank sonnet]

yes - you also get some passive bonuses to res during the campaign

[frank sonnet]

correct, there are stashes at the end of each floor iirc

[silk ember]

Why can't I use this crosbow?/

[hollow elk]

some1 on reddit said it is safe to do so via waypoints but only after a regular room has been finished

I dont dare to tbh

[hollow elk]

ok, then I dont understand how I can end up with -10 fire res. Is there a way to see how that number came to be?

[frank sonnet]

not that I'm aware of, PoB might do it

[copper spindle]

Whys everyone play the Titan over the Warbringer if the warbringer has anti armor and better shouts? is th e passive bonus thing that strong?

secondly as warbringer how does the shout trait work? I got it last night and when i do a cry it doesnt blow up corpses?

[frank sonnet]

for what build?

the short answer anyway is that hulking form is absolutely fucking busted

[compact juniper]

you can portal out of sekhemas safely when you stand infront of the tablet to open/choose the next room, just dont open the room and portal out, when you come backl you can carry on.

[somber star]

I am seeing build guides on Maxroll telling me to use the "Freezing Mark" support gem but there is no support gem with that name when I try and type it in to the filter when trying to make the gem...

[scenic bloom]

its a skill gem

[hollow elk]

it's a regular skill gem

it's crazy ik

[scenic bloom]

you can place it into certain meta skills like a support gem

[somber star]

but it's a support gem for the pounce skill?

oh

[frank sonnet]

pounce is a gem you can put gems in

[somber star]

odd

[frank sonnet]

so you can gem while you gem

[scenic bloom]

the pounce skill allows you to place mark skill gems as support gems

There are other skills like that, for example blasphemy for curses, or cast on (x) for spells

referred to as "meta" skills

[scenic bloom]

Mostly about the double slam chance iirc

[compact juniper]

in intervals throughout the campaign you get -10% to all elemental res debuffs, by default you will get that once per act and end up on -60% if you have no buffs. Its a bit of balancing else you would get to 75% on all too easily

[hollow elk]

yeah but how can I have -10 when I have a +25 fire res ruby charm?

[compact juniper]

so if youre done with the campaigns and have -10% fire res, that means you only get 50% from gear / passives

[scenic bloom]

that one only triggers once you take fire dmg

[scenic wraith]

why cant I put skill gem in it

[scenic bloom]

til then it does nothing

[compact juniper]

what act are you on?

[frank sonnet]

the charm isn't passive, it has to activate

[hollow elk]

aaah ty!

[crude mantle]

Hi , lord of the mist dont spawn for me so i cant get the spirit . And the follow the spirit quest dont work he is stuck in place . I tried restarting game but nothing

[hollow elk]

thank you both, got it!

[scenic bloom]

Is it safe to leave atziris bloody temple to stash stuff before completing it?

Or does it close

have seen 2 dozen people saying 2 dozen different things

[compact juniper]

I leave it regularly and I never had any issues. Might be buggy for some, I don't want to rule out that option ^^

[scenic bloom]

yeah it does feel kinda buggy. Did you use the portal as well? or did you checkpoint to the entrance?

it seemed to me like portals usually close

whislt walking is fine

[hollow elk]

For me I could not return when using the portal!

[compact juniper]

but uhmm dont leave after clearing the unique rooms like the major boss fights or the despawning reward rooms

[scenic bloom]

its so damn inconsistent

[hollow elk]

but if you walk back to the entrance, it works just fine and you can go back

[compact juniper]

I always portal

[scenic bloom]

i am scared

XD

[compact juniper]

and I cannot portal back in but I can walk

[scenic bloom]

Do you REALLY wanna leave?

Are you SURE?

why ggg

[hollow elk]

yes that is so stupid

but I did not have the warning when walking back

[compact juniper]

alsoooo if you died multiple times it might not let you reenter, I once had it that I died 3 times in the temple and on leaving I couldnt return to the map or the temple, I had to /hideout to get out ^^

[hollow elk]

so that seems like the safe option to me

[compact juniper]

I did have 3 portals to the map however

[scenic bloom]

okay portal worked - this time

thanks

[hollow elk]

lucky one

[scenic bloom]

that might be the difference actually

[hollow elk]

I am standing in front of the ascendancy altar and I have zero clue why the guide tells me to go oracle. Shaman nodes sound so much better to an ice wolf build, because of the whole elemental + rage stuff. What am I not getting?!

[crude mantle]

Hi , lord of the mist dont spawn for me so i cant get the spirit . And the follow the spirit quest dont work he is stuck in place . I tried restarting game but nothing

The quest for the altars is completed but i lever fought him in feythorn

[frank sonnet]

sounds like you should restart from checkpoint then unfortunately

and if that doesn't work a new zone

[crude mantle]

How do you mean ? I dont mind doing stuff again but ?

[wispy sky]

There should be an option in the start menu to restart a checkpoint otherwise make a new instance and start over

[frank sonnet]

press esc then restart from checkpoint. If that doesn't work, ctrl click the entrance to the zone or the icon on the waypoint map when you aren't in the zone, and make a new instance

[sweet sun]

do I need chaos res if I play CI? since im immune to chaos damage anyway?

[crude mantle]

Ok i never used that , do if i do a new instance the quests in the zone restart?

[frank sonnet]

nope

[scenic wraith]

anyone offering ascendancy carry ❤️

[quick pike]

no , Maximum Life is 1 Immune to Chaos Damage and Bleeding

[desert sedge]

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

[scenic bloom]

I went oracle as well, playing without guides. I wanted the inevitable crit for a lot of synergy with various passives and supports, mostly. The unseen path has a lot of great goodies as well. Didn't find much in shaman that I needed, rage doesn't play as big a role in my build

I am also experimenting with mana damage based defense, and it seems to work great. Got a unique that gives 150% mana reg when you land crits, which is magic with inevitable crititcals and harmony within

[hollow elk]

yeah that sounds absolutely sick

[scenic bloom]

But it really is 90% about inevitable criticals. That node carries the entire ascendency

[hollow elk]

my thinking is that basically harmony should make my health pool as the sum of hp + mana?

[scenic bloom]

In essence, yes. It does suck until you have decent amounts of them thou

Still, during campaign inevtiable criticals are already worth gold, and in the late game harmony and the passive skill tree nodes allow great flexibility

[hollow elk]

would you go unseen path first or prioritise lesser harm to get to inevitable crit quicker, as first ascendancy nodes?

in my first ascension in act 2

[scenic bloom]

Once you take the ascendancy, you can see the unseen path nodes without taking the passive (they are violet)

see if you want them

then you can take the passive

otherwise go lesser harm

[wispy sky]

Huh didn't know that

[scenic bloom]

You may need to have taken unseen paths atleast once - but even after respeccing of it, you can still see the paths

[hollow elk]

yeah I dont see how I can find/inspect them right now, before I have picked it once

[wispy sky]

Just hover over the nodes without picking

[compact juniper]

you can always pick it and refund the passive points to respec into something else

[scenic bloom]

Well, there are great ones for the wolves. Casually 75% increased damage on everything for you and minions for 4 skill points is pretty good early on

[hollow elk]

but where are they

[scenic bloom]

gimme a sec, ima give you a screenshot

[hollow elk]

ty!

[scenic bloom]

The 75% damage on everything ones are in the red circle, the ones with violet connections are the unseen path

[hollow elk]

aaaaah thank you. Sorry, I didnt see that!

[scenic bloom]

all good there is a lot of stuff

[wispy sky]

130ish passives iirc

[hollow elk]

yeah I think I go unseen path > forced outcome > harmony then, it's a long way though 😄 4 ascensions ? lol

[scenic bloom]

keep in mind you can respec

[copper spindle]

How do i know what level trial ive done? im trying to respec but idk how i guess? its not letting me?

[wispy sky]

How many points do you have

[scenic bloom]

once you have 4 points, which you can get in act 3 already, i would definetly go inevitable crit

[hollow elk]

yep. Ty so much @scenic bloom !

[copper spindle]

4? fuck do i have to do a tier 2?

fuck me

[wispy sky]

Yes

You have to do a trial that would Grant the amount of points you currently have

[copper spindle]

any tier 2?

oh

fuuu

[scenic bloom]

If you hover over the barya/ultimatum it will say if it can grant new points or not

[copper spindle]

can i do the 3rd tier at any level?

like can it be carried? im actually just curious

i know 1 and 2 prob can but later must be harder

[lament stone]

you can do higher tiers and respec too, and you would get the extra points too

[copper spindle]

im like level 40 is th ere any reason i cant try a tier 3 ascension without being level 50 or w/e if i find the djinn in that range?

like with a rl friend

[scenic bloom]

they wont drop - dunno if you can trade them?

[lament stone]

you just have to refund all your ascendancy points before you click the thing that gives you ascendancy points

[wispy sky]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Ascendancy_class#Ascendancy

Click the ascendency tab and it'll show u the levels

[quick pike]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/trials-of-ascendancy earliest is lvl 60 Sekhemas

[hard blade]

How will i manage my spirit early on after getting lord of wilds?

And with it adding 50% less reservation efficiency to non minion skills it would mean I would have to use 120 spirit for sacrifice

So with a scepter of 200 spirit it would be 150 and so on

[scenic bloom]

I think until you get some massive spirit boni you will just have to deal with less persistent buff skills

if you want that scepter

[whole silo]

any idea why my blasphemy just stopped working, its reserved visual effect there but no mobs appear cursed, was working 20 mins ago then i did some assigment of other skills to weapon set 1/2 and it stopped working

[quick pike]

check the curse and what monster lvl it works on , my ele weakness is lvl 17 - curse does not apply to enemies above lvl 78

[whole silo]

yes ty that was the issue

[hard blade]

This my current equipment/skill setup for leveling

Im using a staff for now

Is it possible to get a caster stat on a talisman?

[scenic bloom]

https://poe2db.tw/Talismans#ModifiersCalc

I don't think so

[frank sonnet]

you'd want to weapon swap if you were going to cast something I guess

[hard blade]

K so no talisman and I could probably use wand?

Oo it also means i wont need lord of wilds

But than I should be able to generate rage just using maul

[scenic bloom]

What's the goal of your build?

[hard blade]

It's to stack rage and gain minion damage spell damage physical damage and use Oracle ascendancy to do this oh and im using unearth

It's like a minion/meele/ spell hybrid

I have the maxroll planner planned out no gear yet

Idk what to do for jewels

[quick pike]

how do you build that , do you go full melee dmg , full minion dmg , or full spell dmg

[hard blade]

Full minion damage and spell damage

Maul is just there for rage and its buffs

[scenic bloom]

I would probably go wand + scepter then and try to find other ways for rage, or weapon swap

But the build seems very spread out

[quick pike]

yeah I would not do that at all , you will deal no dmg

[hard blade]

Actually i can to rage gain when taken damage

Instead of using maul

And have Armour and es defenses

[scenic bloom]

But will you take enough damage consistently for that to work? There is the persistent buff that gives constant rage, but its 100 spirit

so quite expensive

[hard blade]

So something like this?

[wind canopy]

Hey I am in act 2 now leveling as a lightning arrow deadeye but I wanna switch to another build what would be the best point to make that swap happen?

since I dont have enough skill and support gems now

[quick pike]

hmm probably after you finish the campaign

[scenic bloom]

The final boss of act 2 is a roadblock for many new players and half baked builds. You could amass gems over act 2 and then make the switch after the final boss, since act 3 starts relatvily tame in comparison.

[wild depot]

It looks like I am stuck at kingsmarch, I have found 2 weapon pieces, but I was on all available maps, just not collected all the rewards

[south timber]

Well you get weapon pieces from killing bosses so which ones have you killed so far

[quick pike]

check https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/path-of-exile-2-campaign-guide#act-4-header

The Search is the quest for the weapon , Whakapanu Island,Isle of Kin,Volcanic Warrens

[wind canopy]

thanks yeah ill do that then guess I would still do my passives for lightning arrow deadeye and then just refund all after act 2?

[copper spindle]

How do these work? im kinda confused on this

Does Mountain splitter mean slams that dont cause fissues or ones that do? does earthbreaker stack with that? does earthbreaker stack with aftershocks and does aftershocks only work for slams that specifically state aftershock in the tooltip?

[signal sedge]

is there a way to turn sprinting off with only dodge on?

[quick pike]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/aftershock

[wispy sky]

Earth breaker gives slams a chance to create aftershocks, the chance stacks with any other chance to create aftershocks. Mountain splitter affects skills the DO NOT create fissures

Aftershocks are just a repeat of the slam, does the same damage has the same buffs and everything the original slam did

[thin panther]

Hii, i am on act 1, i play witch, i have 600 coins, what stash should I buy?

[wispy sky]

Currency, waystone, and maybe a premium tab are the most important imo

Merchant tab if you want to have a place for people to buy while your offline or just mapping

[thin panther]

oh, there is a sale right now, i just need buy 1 of each? Thats enough?

[quick pike]

I would say currency, map ,merchant and the stash tab bundle

[icy oracle]

is there a way i can hide the aura for "arctic armor," like through the shop for example

i kinda hate how it looks

i heard i could use something called an invisibility effect

nevermind, found it

[somber star]

Character sheet doesn't show your crit chance?

[olive lily]

as a warrior, game too easy guys. any warrior skills any of yall like to use?

[quick pike]

no, check it on the skills

[wispy sky]

It's in the advamced info of the skills,

[somber star]

ahh ok

[wispy sky]

Skills can have different crit chance, mainly spells

[olive lily]

let me know what skills I should try ouy as warrior, thanks

I feel like game got much easier in Act 3, will it stay easy now?

[quick pike]

depends on your gear

[olive lily]

right, I guess I got lucky with good gear rn

it seems like the way to play is when you keep dying, you just up the resistances killing you basically

same for bosses, just habe to up the resistances against thebelement they usr against you

not too complicated

[clear vine]

Do i do more freeze if i penetrate more cold resistance?

[olive lily]

not sure what that means

[somber star]

I assume they mean does cold penetration also cause more stun buildup from cold attacks

[quick pike]

Cold Penetration indirectly helps build freeze faster because it increases the actual cold damage hitting the enemy, and more damage per hit means faster buildup of the Freeze Ailment towards its threshold

[olive lily]

oh, it had build up, have not seen enemy freeze as melee

[somber star]

as druid they freeze alot 🙂

[olive lily]

whats a good way to get orbs of alchemy?

i tried selling my rare gear but im getting nothing

[quick pike]

from drops , there's no alchemy shards

[icy oracle]

damn, chat gpt is wasting my time

[icy oracle]

drops from all npcs?

[quick pike]

from enemies or you buy them from the currency trade

[trim turret]

Whatever you like. As long as you find synergies with them. Last league I did forge hammer and rolling slam. Stacked aftershocks with rolling slam to pulse the fissures from forge hammer, and had armor explosion on rolling slam also. Boom boom all the time.

[icy oracle]

im trying to buy a djinn barya but every single person is selling it for an orb of alchemy

[icy oracle]

alrr, ty

[quick pike]

you can switch and put exalts when you search

[olive lily]

what class is the one that shoots electricity with sword slashes?

[quick pike]

monk ?

[olive lily]

makes sense. it's melee as well?

Interested in trying out

[quick pike]

that's a quarterstaff skill

[olive lily]

how come the video I saw it was doing sword slashes and shoot electricity?

[quick pike]

there are no swords in game, they come with the duelist

it's just the skill effect

[olive lily]

I think it was quarter staff, I mistook it for sword

I like melee, close combat so I wish they do more of that

I'd like to see swords, and melee specials with swords

[trim turret]

All of that is coming with the rest of the classes. And any class can use any weapon and skill.

[shy gulch]

Guys Im trying to get the keels socket in my passive tree unlocked but it says the requirements aren’t met. I’m level 50 and I already have a gem to put in and I got the node before it what am i doing wrong

[trim turret]

Jewel socket? Did you unlock the jewel socket itself?

[shy gulch]

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. How do I unlock it

[trim turret]

Like a passive node.

With a point.

[shy gulch]

But it won’t let me

[trim turret]

You have a passive point to spend on it?

[shy gulch]

Yes I have 27 points

[trim turret]

I'd have to see a screenshot. I dunno why that would happen if you unlocked the node next to it and have a point for the jewel socket.

[shy gulch]

Do I dm you?

Oh nevermind I have pic perms

[trim turret]

Are the nodes next to it weapon set points by any chance?

[shy gulch]

They’re green

Is that what that means?

[bronze violet]

hi guys can you help me to choose charakter please i want same meta

[trim turret]

Looks like you spent weapon set specific points by mistake.

[shy gulch]

Oh well okay then thank you for helping

[trim turret]

There are several good builds. Build matters more than class.

[shy gulch]

I don’t really understand how the passive tree works

[bronze violet]

but there is meta class ye?

[trim turret]

The skill points you get from books are weapon set points, and can basically be spent in two places, one for each weapon set.

[trim turret]

No, just good builds and bad builds.

There are multiple good builds for most of the classes.

[trim turret]

Just don't spend weapon set points unless you know what you're doing with it and spend all your points normally. Refund those two and spend them as normal points and you should be able to take the jewel socket.

[trim turret]

What type of build are you looking for?

[bronze violet]

I am very decisive to choose class sorry for my english im from czech

[trim turret]

OK well Druid is the new class and has several transformation skills.

[gray elk]

At what point does armor fall off?

[bronze violet]

ye but is druid meta?

[gray elk]

Pro moomoo tip: don’t worry about meta unless you plan on getting to 85-90

[trim turret]

Again, it doesn't work like that. There are multiple strong Druid builds. Whole classes aren't just meta or not. And if its your first time don't worry about the meta anyway.

[trim turret]

I mean its a defensive layer. Depends how much you invest in it.

[gray elk]

Icic

Is there like a soft cap on investment

[trim turret]

Not one that I would know off the top of my head.

[gray elk]

Very epic

[trim turret]

Overall armor protects against a lot of small hits and has trouble with larger hits, but making it apply to elemental damage has been pretty strong. But again, it's a layer amongst many.

[gray elk]

Are keystones the bigger nodes with the patterned borders

[trim turret]

They're the largest nodes which are usually build changing and have a downside.

[gray elk]

Ah ok so like resolute technique

Accuracy rating is doubled but you never crit

Which sounds horrible bc I heard accuracy is fake

[trim turret]

Accuracy is very real, it just matters less the closer you are. But for some builds, crits don't matter and not having to worry about accuracy makes things easier.

[gray elk]

Oh ok

[trim turret]

Whole list of decent builds.

[gray elk]

Yeah

[trim turret]

Known issue. May have to reset area.

[worthy hornet]

yea if u killed 1 of them and died to second one its usually bugged, have to reset instance

[copper brook]

how do I reset instance?

[trim turret]

Sure, it can work. Its a very general question and answers to those questions are basically always "depends how you build it."

[gray elk]

Ah i see

Thank you

[boreal quartz]

are there any good builds that check all the boxes in terms of having good clear, survivability, boss DPS?

was looking at bleed spear build(?) but idk if fubgun's poison pathfinder is any good either since it might be good but also very expensive

[clear talon]

im still stuck with the final boss of act 1. He whas almost dead and then the stupid boss spawned too much wolfs in the circle. its impossible. they need to make the circle bigger or make less wolfs spawn

[boreal quartz]

legit keep moving in a circle clockwise or counter clockwise

it'll help deal with it

[snow apex]

anyone else getting huge lag spikes?

[flat inlet]

yeah POE on PC = lag spikes and stuttering POE on Console = runs mint outside of forced screen tearing

pick ur poison

[hearty walrus]

I haven't had any issues on pc

[flat inlet]

thats because youre rich

i work in a sweat shop and have an overweight gf

[hearty walrus]

im the opposite of rich

[flat inlet]

to be fair tho id be rich in any other state

[snow apex]

i'm only in act 3. never had this happen before, especially with so few mobs

[flat inlet]

taxes tho..

Im walking thru the campaign with druid pretty fast this leaue

always took me a hot minute previous leagues

You prob have trash gear and poor passive tree ?

[trim turret]

Did you ever get any cold res?

[flat inlet]

dont even need cold res bruh

its act 1 lol

just make sure u have armor on bruh

maybe energy shield

and atleast 1 strong attack.. should take less than 5 mins to kill him

[trim turret]

It helps against the boss and is generally good advice to get resists. Especially since armor only protects against physicsl damage, bruh.

[clear talon]

nvm i defeated him

[clear talon]

yes

the problem whas

[flat inlet]

bruh he does little damage

its act 1

[clear talon]

i payed for a armour with high cold res

but low armour count

[flat inlet]

why would u pay homie

[clear talon]

for you maybe

[flat inlet]

go pick up some normal gear

[trim turret]

Ask questions or help people with theirs. This isn't the channel for "too EZ bro."

[flat inlet]

use some orb

try ur luck

be OP in 15 mins of effort

[clear talon]

i whas op

i had very good sword

[flat inlet]

also check ur passives young blood cuh

[clear talon]

it just my armour sucks

[trim turret]

Buying gear from vendors is fine.

[flat inlet]

switch it out with something else bro

add a socket to it

add + armor rune

[mental heron]

I just killed the 3 necessary bosses for the weapon piece in act 4, 3 times each, and the mission still lingers, when I go to arastas, it says I'm missing a piece, did any1 encounter that issue ?

[flat inlet]

be patient, avoid his attacks

what class are you running bruh bruh?

if u need me to come beat him for u i will dawg but u gun have rough time in act 2 unless u fix dat gear yo sheeeit

[clear talon]

how long does it take for a avarage player to fully understand how everything works?

the whole game

[flat inlet]

its not diablo 4 where some OP bs will drop for u and solve ur issues

[quick pike]

they change it all the time

[flat inlet]

u need to really BUILD ur build

read tags etc

[trim turret]

I have 4k hours in POE1 and still learn new things. That's why people keep playing.

[clear talon]

but i mean the core game like the default things like how skill trees work and equipment

[flat inlet]

create a new instnace.. kill more mobs and allocate another point to passives.. make sure ur using smart ones that work with ur build currently not necessarly the build you wish u had

[clear talon]

yeah true its an infinite game

[trim turret]

Depends on the person.

We get the people that read nothing and never realize spells and attacks are two different things.

[flat inlet]

i change up my passive tree every so often so im getting the most out of what im using

spell = energy shield duh

[clear talon]

im the type of person that dint even know how to use the skilltree correct untill today

[flat inlet]

the moment u stop rushing the game and READ into everything.. u will realize how much more fun this game is than diablo etc

[trim turret]

Define "correct?"

[brazen quartz]

Anyone has an idea, why I cant add an jewelers orb here?

[clear talon]

is act 2 200x times harder than the first game?

act*

[flat inlet]

u need to add 3rd socket

[trim turret]

Because its a skill provided by a weapon and sockets are added by character level.

[brazen quartz]

Ah, ok I didnt know that. Thanks

[flat inlet]

nah the campaign is way easier than it has been in past leagues.. like legit easier

[quick pike]

check https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Gem_socket#Skills_granted_by_items_and_passive_skills

[flat inlet]

aww shucks u mean i cant add a 3rd socket to my mace danggggg

[brazen quartz]

so 6 more lvl, thanks

[trim turret]

I mean, it depends. On your build, what gear you have, if you're keeping up with life and resists. You have access to more tools to be successful as you go, but you need to use them.

[flat inlet]

the GAME isnt hard

ur BUILD choices is hard

youre doing it wrong

[clear talon]

for me the game is extreme hard and i love it. Its just i played a lot of games like zelda and they are hard but nothing like this

[flat inlet]

fix ur gear peices, passives, skill choices

read the tags

[clear talon]

you say this like its easy XD

[flat inlet]

it is

[clear talon]

im new to this game lmao XD

[flat inlet]

i know bro

[clear talon]

the skilltree is too big

[flat inlet]

i thought it was hard too

but realized its not

i just didnt read into things

like i rotate the same 3 attacks for a reason

[clear talon]

how long did it take for you to undrstand it?

[flat inlet]

my passives improve my skills im using

including boosting my armor and shield

im not putting on gear peices that have affix for things i dont even use etc

[trim turret]

If you don't understand something in particular, just ask.

[flat inlet]

also realize ur weapon attack is different than ur skills

its not like diablo where ur weapon is going to just boost ur other gear peices

Dont worry about build guides etc until ur in end game too

make ur build work with the best gear u have

use orbs to gamble on turning normals and magic items into possibly really good rare ones

add sockets

add runs to help improve armor etc

[clear talon]

okay i have 1 question i have problems with the charm slot. i have only 1. how can i have 2 or 3?

[flat inlet]

go back into town bro.. chill for like 15 mins just re-working ur whole build

[trim turret]

There's a quest in act 2 and higher level belts can have more.

[flat inlet]

u should be moving thru content at a steady pace .. if ur not.. ur not utilizing what u have well

[clear talon]

does act 2 have far better weapon drops?

from mobs

[flat inlet]

yeah

every act does

and higher lvl skills gems etc

[hearty walrus]

act 2 has higher base types, yes

[flat inlet]

but u dont need drops from higher acts to make ur current act build work

ur looking at it wrong

[trim turret]

Higher level zones means higher item level gear dropping, yes. But its the stats you need to look for. If a weapon is higher level but still has less overall damage its not useful.

[flat inlet]

yeah what he said

"level" doesnt really mean much

[clear talon]

i need to look at the physical damage count

[flat inlet]

and u most likely dont have enough str,dex,int on to even equip that gear either way

[clear talon]

yeah thats right

i have only 12 dex

[flat inlet]

what class/build u running

[clear talon]

where can i see it

just caracter page?

[flat inlet]

...

yeah

ur skills etc

[clear talon]

im a druid

[flat inlet]

passives

okay and whats ur main skills ur using

furious slam?

maul?

[clear talon]

rend, rolling slam, mace strike, bone cage

[flat inlet]

eh

[clear talon]

wing blast

[flat inlet]

focus on like 3 skills for now

make sure ur talisman is set for wut ur using the most

[trim turret]

That seems like a bunch of random skills.

[flat inlet]

it def is

for now bro just do this

[clear talon]

rend rolling slam and mace strike i use the most

[flat inlet]

use ur mace strike

Maul

and Furious slam

make sure u have gear with + physical dmg

make sure u have gear with armor too

[trim turret]

So three different melee attacks that do similar things. Did you read rend and see that a resource called power charges gives it a massive damage boost?

[flat inlet]

ur melee strike from mace too isnt going to improve ur skill attack

diff stats

[delicate pecan]

After killing tavaki do I focus on interludes or do something else? Also should i wait to be higher level before getting free unique from mountain

[flat inlet]

but u should be casually walking thru content in act 1 using the same 2 -3 skills

add fist of war to furious slam

e

every 6 seconds itll do a much stronger attack

[trim turret]

Interludes are the next part of the story. There's nothing else really to do. They're placeholders for acts 5-6.

[flat inlet]

rapid attack and rage on maul

[trim turret]

You're throwing a bunch of shit at him. He needs to understand WHY skills are used together.

[flat inlet]

build up ur rage with maul attacks then SLAM

[clear talon]

i dint know that how can i get it

[flat inlet]

use ur uncut skill gems

and create the skill gem

they drop fairly often

[delicate pecan]

When can i start on xp grinding? after interludes? Also should I get unique from mountain later at higher level or doesn't matter

[trim turret]

Really need to read your skills. They have interactions with each other. Another wyvern skill, devour, eats weak enemies and corpses and gives you power charges, which make several other skills stronger. That's what you need to be looking for. Skill interactions.

[flat inlet]

yeah this game isnt diablo 4

it involves some reading and thinking and logic

it makes it more fun and meaningful

[trim turret]

I'm not sure that it matters. And killing enemies close to your level is always the best way to get XP. There isn't some special grinding method.

[delicate pecan]

Ah I see not the same as poe 1 legion carry or harbinger maps

Thank you

[trim turret]

Furious slam does more damage if you have rage. One of the other bear skills generates rage, along with several other methods.

[flat inlet]

its strong bro

u will walk thru act 1 and 2 using furious slam no problems

[trim turret]

I mean there's mapping but that's still after the interludes.

[delicate pecan]

Word I'll lock in

[flat inlet]

dont be afraid to watch some people like RAXX on youtube

they explain why their builds work

he does like every build

makes guides etc

[trim turret]

Rolling slam builds up increased stun against enemies and the second hit does more damage against heavy stunned enemies. So if you want to build around that you want to invest in stun. I'm giving you examples to help you understand.

[flat inlet]

yeah.. rolling slam is slow af tho so dont do that on druid

better on warrior

also depends on ur weapons stats too

also i doubt ur reading any of this

[clear talon]

btw does the game tell you when there is a new event to start fresh

[flat inlet]

new event?

[hearty walrus]

league?

[clear talon]

new mechanics

yes

[flat inlet]

this league just started

[clear talon]

cuz im a little lost in that

[trim turret]

You mean a new league? Every four months and we get announcements and live streams and patch notes ahead of time.

[flat inlet]

pretend leagues are "seasons"

they last 3-4 months

[clear talon]

owh so okay sorr y

[flat inlet]

and they always have it up on their website.. including a countdown clock before they start

[clear talon]

are they also working on some patches to make performance better? i had a few crashes today during boss fights

my pc is strong so yeah

[hearty walrus]

they are

[trim turret]

I mean the game is in early access and nowhere near 1.0....so yes.

Try switching renderers to see if it improves your crashing issue.

[clear talon]

will 1.0 release somewhere in 2026 actually?

like mid

or late

i think i asked this question before

[trim turret]

No idea. I think they really wanna make it before the end of 2026.

[clear talon]

nice

[trim turret]

But it all depends on how well it all comes together. Still a lot more to do.

[clear talon]

btw is path of exile 1\2 on of your fav games

[trim turret]

1 is my most played game. 2 isn't there yet, but it's getting better and doesn't have ten years of content/improvements like 1 does.

[clear talon]

how long do you play 1 ?

[trim turret]

4k hours and I'm still playing it.

[clear talon]

is it true that it is harder than the second game?

i hear a lot of people say path of exile 2 is easier

[trim turret]

2 is definitely easier to understand because it has tooltips and better ingame explanations.

But, if people don't read what things are or how they work...

Did you understand what I was saying about skills needing to work together?

[clear talon]

nope not really

everthing about skills is chinese to me lmao

i know things about gems that you can add to items, i do that but i just random use it and dont understand what it really do

until today

but thats basicly it

[trim turret]

OK, let me give you an example from square one again. You're using rend, right? Rend says it consumes a power charge if possible to give you extra lightning damage. So your question to yourself should be, how do I get a power charge? And you hold ALT and read the underlined words on the rend skill gem because it explains what those underlined words mean.

[clear talon]

owh i dint know that

thank you

btw which one is better?

about the healing potion

[trim turret]

Are you using minions?

At all?

[clear talon]

sometimes

only during hard enemies

[trim turret]

What do you mean, sometimes?

[clear talon]

they just spawn randomly during boss fights. other time they just dissapear

[trim turret]

Like, the way to beat stuff isn't to throw a bunch of random different skills at enemies.

What minions are they? Like what kind?

[clear talon]

wolfs

[trim turret]

OK, so you're using pounce?

[clear talon]

yes

[trim turret]

I'm begging you, read your skills.

Understand what they do.

[clear talon]

so the new potion is useless if i dont use minions

[trim turret]

Yes.

[clear talon]

?

okay

should i buy another potion that has faster charges?

[trim turret]

Pounce summons wolves when the marked enemy dies or you use another skill to consume the mark. And the tooltips explain what a mark is.

[clear talon]

mine is 5 seconds there is another one of 3 seconds

bu consumes is lower

but

[trim turret]

You should buy whatever flask heals you for a larger amount and hit it with a transmute/augments to try and add stats to it that are useful to you..

[clear talon]

do there exist potions with higher healing than 260? like 300 500? i dint find any of these yet

[trim turret]

The blue stats affect all of that. A grand life flask will always be the same until it is magic and has extra stats on it.

Yes, you're in act 1. They go up way higher.

[clear talon]

im in act 2 now

[trim turret]

OK, so you'll see higher base type flasks at some point.

Just like you'll see higher level skill gems and support gems and gear.

Have you been upgrading the skills you're using with higher level skill gems?

[clear talon]

yes

at the beginning i whas being very dumb and just claimed new skills

but now im just upgrading skills im using

cuz most new skills arent worth anything

[trim turret]

How do you know?

What makes you say that?

[clear talon]

bc new skills arent much stronger than the current skills i whas upgrading so i try to upgrade all the skills till its enough

and then i will try new skills

or im i wrong?

are new skills much stronger than my upgraded skills

[strong folio]

hey i just finished the trail of chaos but for som reason i didnt get ascendancy points

any idea what 2 do

[trim turret]

You're not getting it. It isn't that new skills are just magically stronger than others. You're meant to figure out a set of skills that can work together and synergize and buff each other.

[trim turret]

Which points are you getting? 3+4?

[strong folio]

this what i have now

[trim turret]

So 5+6. Did the trial key say you would get more points? You have to do extra rooms in the chaos trial for more points.

[strong folio]

i tryed 4 room and this was 7 rooms

My wife was using rolling magma. It was ok by itself. Then she got oil barrage, which spits oil on the ground and debuffs enemies. Then she uses rolling magma to ignite the oil. And if she has power charges oil barrage does a ton of damage by itself.

[strong folio]

it says it give points

(tho im kinda new ) so idk if i miss somthing

[trim turret]

Read it again.

[strong folio]

ahh god

ye i see it thx xd

[wild depot]

I have question about poisonburst pathfinder, I will cast toxic growth and use poisonburst arrow to trigger it immediately. I read in guide to avoid flat fire damage, but I am using it and curious if it will work as well as if I remove the fire damage a will use gloves that converts all damage to poison(Plaguefinger)

[clear talon]

which item is stronger ?

[wild depot]

you can try to equip it and check dmg of your skill gems

[trim turret]

One is one handed.

[clear talon]

yoo i finally find a better weapon

lets goo

btw what are spirits on item

there is attack damage and spirit

[trim turret]

#2┃after-acts-help

[plain dune]

ah mb

[trim turret]

Spirit is a resource that lets you use spirit skills. You should hsve gotten 30 from a quest in act 1.

[clear talon]

btw are the graphics in path of exile 2 much better than the first game

i dint play the first game

[glad aurora]

graphics wise yes it's much more polished

[clear talon]

last question, is it possible to play with my caracter new acts if they get released? the game has now 3 or 4 acts of the 6 that will be added

[glad aurora]

well you won't be able to play with it in the league, but in standard yes but you will most likely be overleveled af unless you stop playing after the interludes rn

[pliant vigil]

so to become an abyssal lich I need kulemak's invitation but do those still drop or nah?

[trim turret]

By that time the game will have changed enough you'll probably want to start a new character.

[olive lily]

is Trials of Chaos worthwhile to get through?

Big rewards at the end?

[quick pike]

yeah , you can get some good stuff , I got a div like 20 min ago , some good augments 5% chaos

[trim turret]

I mean the main purpose of the trial is to get your ascendancy points.

But you can do either trial for them.

[olive lily]

was that?

[hearty walrus]

trial of the sekhemas or trial of chaos

[trim turret]

Did you do the trial of Sekhema and unlock your ascendancy/subclass?

[olive lily]

I hven't done any trials beore Chaos

[trim turret]

Well the trials are there largely to unlock/upgrade your subclass.

If you make it to the end of the chaos trial you should be able to choose and get some points for it.

[olive lily]

I didn't know I had subclasses

[trim turret]

What class are you?

[olive lily]

warrior

[olive lily]

Did I miss out on Trial of Sekhema?

[hearty walrus]

no

[trim turret]

No you can go back whenever.

[hearty walrus]

you can't miss out on anything really

[trim turret]

Yeah you have three.

[olive lily]

I really want to change class. I want to see what skills they got

no idea which one I should go with however

[frank sonnet]

if you just want to see the skills, the active skills, not the passives, just change tab in the menu when you right click a gem. Those are their skills. Any class can use any skill

if you mean passives, yeah, or they're on the wiki 🙂

[azure wren]

in wolf druid form, when using pounce, the minions you get, how long do they stay with you?

[clear talon]

also when you say its chaged enough, does that mean there will be also new zones like new ''biomes''.

or new regions or how you call it

[olive lily]

you dont' get different skills when you change class?

active skills I'm referring to

[hearty walrus]

skills are not tied to class

[olive lily]

what's the purpose of class then?

passives?

[hearty walrus]

yes

where they start on the tree and what their ascendancies give

[trim turret]

Next update is reworking endgame, there are still two more story acts coming, and they heavily add/change core mechanics like skills and supports and the passive tree.

[trim turret]

There are a couple skills tied to ascendancies, but mostly they are there to enable various builds. I saw a screen-clearing crossbow wielding warrior a while back. And POE1 is famous for the bow explosive arrow witch build and the marauder fire spell build.

[clear talon]

my game crashed bc i changed the sharpness filter 💀

yes its bugged

sharpness is bugged

[olive lily]

Can you level up shield raise? or is it perminantly at level 1?

[clear talon]

if i change it my game is stuck

[hearty walrus]

you can level up every gem

active/spirit gem

[olive lily]

I really liek this game since I like Melee a lot and they changed the dynamics with dodge

[olive lily]

I can't level up shield raise for some reason, when I select the uncut gem

It doesn't show me as one of the options

I hope arpgs develop melee more and more as it evolves

[hard blade]

Will the 15% increased effect of arcane surge also effect the nodes like the 15% increased spell damage?

[trim turret]

Its higher level on higher level shields.

Because its built into them.

[trim turret]

No, it just affects the benefits that arcane surge provides.

[olive lily]

got it, I had no idea. my shield had such great modifiers that I don't want to change it. Does it make sense to upgrade to higher level shields even if you have much better modifiers than the higher level ones?

[trim turret]

Shouldn't be hard to find something better so it depends what you think are great modifiers.

Generally you always want to be upgrading but yes it is dependent on the item stats.

[trim turret]

Do it from the login screen.

[clear talon]

i did it

it the same

its

the whole menu is broken

[olive lily]

I have not seen a better shield than above

[clear talon]

but the game is still better than most AAA games

even if it has bugs

[olive lily]

this gamee is incredible. I amazed at the artwork

[trim turret]

Not great. No resists, and that increased armor is included in the 71 up top so that shouldn't be hard to beat.

[clear talon]

yes

[clear talon]

but also very hard. i whas getting tired of some bosses but after that its amazing

[olive lily]

I dont' see shield raise skill level on it's attributes

[trim turret]

Hrm. Maybe raise shield doesn't have levels but I'm not sure. Dunno what levels would do to improve it.

[olive lily]

That's what I think too, it's a default, not an active skill

It's just basically block

[trim turret]

Thats because you're using skills inefficiently.

[olive lily]

if you get your armor and resitances up, they should be manageable. Also, dodge timing helps a llot

If you have some experience with Diablo games, you know you should be getting passives like life steal, mana gain skills, etc., life regen, etc..

you need to spot good gear. It's all about the gear to survive

know what resistance you need for the bosses and the enemies in the field

[clear talon]

yes i learned new things today so bosses are easier now

[olive lily]

what I find annoying is ath when I portal out back to the base, and forget to get back into the world, it resets my progress from the start

I wish the game would save your progress instead of reseting every 20min

[clear talon]

yeah true

is act 2 longer than act 1

it feels shorter

[frank sonnet]

I think the reason why they don't do that is because they don't want to save the instance to disk and then you forget about it and go somewhere else, when should they delete it?

on the other hand, I forgot to log out of the game last night inside an instance and I was still logged in in the morning which surprised me 😄

[olive lily]

simple, a day after, so I have a longer period to go back to it

[clear talon]

the thing i find the most anoying is that everytime i upgrade the items that i want to buy dissapear

so it gets replaced by bad items in the vendor

[frank sonnet]

sure, but then someone else will be here saying "I wish they kept my instance more than a day"

[clear talon]

like there whas a item with attack damage 50

after i leveled up it whas 20

bc it refreshed the shop

[olive lily]

solution is to cache the instance in user's computer. No need to waste server space

[frank sonnet]

haha no way they'd go for that

[olive lily]

oh, due to cheats

[frank sonnet]

letting users upload files back into the instance server? insane security risk

[knotty current]

hi everyone🖐️
Can someone recommend a levling build for warrior?

maybe talisman with werwolf form but idk which skill and passivs would be good

[thorny geyser]

How do I get skill point 5 and 6 in the acendancy?

[frank sonnet]

you have to do the chaos or sekhemas again, with one of the baryas / ultimatums that drops randomly as loot. It needs to be of a certain difficulty to give you more points

the loot ones say on them if they will give you points

[sonic blade]

Did the game got easier since release ? I didn’t play much since but I remember it being much harder, almost soul like, straight from the start which I liked a lot, but if feels much easier now I feel

[frank sonnet]

yes - afaik they didn't just straight up nerf the campaign but there are various buffs and things that have added up it not being quite such a dick as it was on release. And people just understand the game better

a lot of it is loot, if you get shit loot you will struggle

still see people in this channel having trouble with geonor cos their cold res and life sucks for example, or with the act 2 boss cos no lightning res and poor damage

it's not like it was on initial release though for sure

[hard blade]

Couldn't you just set the keystone passive to be in set 2 instead of set 1?

Like im looking to really get lord of the wilds and test that so that I can have minions also in the second set

[sonic blade]

That’s too bad, the struggle really made it so good, guess it could’ve been getting old after redoing it each season

[frank sonnet]

yeah, it does kinda annoy me when people make games easier cos some segment of the community is little babies

[sonic blade]

Also is there a way to see yellow/blue monsters other than checking their health bar on top of the screen ?

[clear talon]

will path of exile 2 have Atlas expansions added new maps permanently

?

[frank sonnet]

they are usually a little larger and they're supposed to have some visual effects on them but they're pretty subtle atm. You usually know them when they don't die or do a ground aoe heh

[glad aurora]

wdym

most atlas changes will become a part of the core game yes

[frank sonnet]

is your question, is it possible to put direct approach in a weapon swap? sure. The point that node is to make it easier to apply ailments because most ailments are applied on crits

[trim turret]

You shouldn't really need to be in zones for more than like 20 minutes and you definitely shouldn't be making multiple trips back per zone.

[wraith heart]

This is incredibly stupid, but is the only way to leave the Trial to log out if you lose all your honor? I don't get a prompt to leave or anything and the only way I can get out is the log.

[trim turret]

That's a bug. It should give you a prompt.

[wraith heart]

I must be lucky because it's happened literally every time lol.

Also the honor loss on PoE2 version of this is insane. I lost 1200 honor to 2 attacks without any debuffs that increases honor loss.

[frank sonnet]

afaik it's 1 honour per life/es damage you take, so yeah you will lose it quickly. There is a "35% less honour damage" aura around you a short distance to help melees

you need to get honour resistance relics basically

30% honour resistance is huge

[wraith heart]

Yeah I've failed my 3rd set of ascendancy points twice due to the second boss clipping me twice for over half of my total honor, then just got chipped trying to get through the 3rd floor.

So it doesn't do what they do in PoE1 where evasion/armor/ES shields honor in some way?

[frank sonnet]

I think they mitigate it by reducing the damage you take, which reduces the honour loss

they don't give more than that

[wraith heart]

Rough.

[hollow elk]

do I ... need to click "close temple" in the console after finishing? what happens if I dont?

[fringe steppe]

anyone can help me for lv60+ 3rd trial ?

[alpine ibex]

Im using thirst of Kitava passive and ancestral call II on whirling assault, and Im not seeing my life leech instant, what am I missing?

[sweet sun]

why this is so expensive? whats it used for thats its so good apparently?

[olive lily]

why is poe1 highly regarded than the 2nd? Is the 2nd one harder or people don't like the new dodge mechanics and alm that?
