I don't see a pinned message with the answer to this question, but I am having what I expect to be a bug with the maps. Whenever I place a waystone on a map node for the first time it causes my game to send me to the login screen if I try entering the map. If I put another waystone into the map it will then allow me to travel to the map to attempt it.

Is there a bug report for this already and is there a temporary workaround that may work around this that doesn't rely on consuming tons of map items?

[distant falcon]

It doesn't lol, must be a mistake

[balmy topaz]

I'm actually not sure,
By the wording, I don't see why it wouldn't work though

[balmy topaz]

quite a common issue, I believe GGG is aware,
not sure if there's a solution yet though, might be worth checking the forums

[compact tundra]

ty, should I accept your profile picture as payment for help?

[noble wraith]

i am at the trialmaster door with my friend and it says insert 3 fates but this time thers no socket for us to insert

its level 75

[open spire]

I thought the highest a suffix for all ele can be was 16?

screenshot from poe2db

[noble wraith]

what level chaos temple for trialmaster? we are at his door and thers no way for us to put in the fates

[balmy topaz]

poe2db is still catching up, its not complete yet, specially some of the higher tier stuff,
Also on the other end has some stuff which doesn't exist in-game 😄

[open spire]

makes sense, im guessing the 68 on poedb is the ilvl

[balmy topaz]

Should be level 75+ (any level as long as you get past the 10th trial), do neither of you see the face on/above the door?
If so, probably bugged :/

[pseudo basalt]

how do I dodge this attack? am I doomed for not having ms boots?

[candid crystal]

When the circle appears, spam dodges in the opposite direction of his movement

[pseudo basalt]

is spam dodge faster then running?

I'm not sure

[open spire]

no, spam dodging is not faster. are you able to get a dash skill?

[frigid meadow]

Anyone got any skill gem 3s spare?

[pseudo basalt]

nope, my dashes are all targeted

ms boots seem to be required for this boss

at least in the T15 version, campaign version it felt slower, I can consistently move out of it

[candid crystal]

Or enough pv to tank
Or a freeze buildup that can hit in air to freeze him

[open spire]

did you lag in the clip? I can't tell for sure but it looks it

[naive fulcrum]

Hey, why are all of my ultimatums and sekhema trials gray? I only have 4 points total?

[open spire]

nvm no lag, looked like a stuter in fullscreen

[naive fulcrum]

they're all 2+ trials too

[balmy topaz]

for points 5+6, you need 3rd floor, or 10th trial

[untold parrot]

Anyone have a spare Uncut Sprit Gem lvl 8? So i can get the frenzied charge

[naive fulcrum]

3 floors??

jesus

[compact meteor]

they both say not enough spirit is that true or is it just visual bug

[balmy topaz]

supports for persistant gems increase the spirit cost

[compact meteor]

ohhhhh

will the gems just not activate then cus my life remnants still works mostly

[sonic glade]

Can someone explain what this does

[balmy topaz]

the threshold is the amount of damage required to ignite/freeze/shock you etc

[balmy topaz]

to activate a persistant skill, you need to right click it,
when active it will have a little swirl on it,
otherwise it doesn't do anything

[sonic glade]

Ohh ok so it’s defensive

[balmy topaz]

yeah

[sonic glade]

Is it important or not really?

[compact meteor]

yeah but this one still works in combat regardless of nothavinfg enough spirit

[balmy topaz]

its nice to have,
but not a priority

[balmy topaz]

That's the one from ascendancy right?
I think those work no matter what

[compact meteor]

oh alrihgt nice

[desert coral]

any way to reroll implicit? no more blessed orb i see

[crisp nova]

can i use this in the trial of sekhema from normal act 2?

[balmy topaz]

yeah,

[zinc lily]

gear that says # Life regeneration per second, is that you gain # life per second and its additive between gear. or does it modify some secret stat?

[balmy topaz]

its additive, then multiplied by your total increased life regen per sec

[pastel narwhal]

can this oneshot me as CI ?

[velvet scroll]

I don't think so

5% of 1 HP ain't 1

[balmy topaz]

With about 51% confidence I say no,
but I still wouldn't take it,
its interaction with some DoT is bugged, it shreds your entire pool in 1 second

[zinc lily]

whats "total increased life regen per sec"?

[balmy topaz]

not sure, where do you see this?

[bitter bay]

i actually found a decent gem

[lone venture]

Is there a list of unique's that are good on monks? I haven't come across any unique's that's particularly good. What are some sought after items specifically? Headhunter belt is the only thing come to mind. What else???

[willow pewter]

hi what is the rune that adds elemental damage

[willow pewter]

ty

[lofty grove]

So what is the trick to getting good gear at endgame? How are you supposed to craft shit without just constantly running out of resources?

[waxen mango]

does anyone know how to get to there 2 rares on the right of the map here?

ive explored the entire place idk if theres some hidden passage or just bugged

[balmy topaz]

uncommon bug, nothing you can do except restart :(

[rustic delta]

can i increase a corrupted gem level?

[waxen mango]

my map

[balmy topaz]

I believe so

[rustic delta]

thanks

[desert coral]

is there any way to reroll implicit modifiers?

on items that is

[dry ruin]

is it even possible to get on that island there are no connecting lines

[balmy topaz]

Nah, happens pretty often on islands/areas

[dry ruin]

great im never gonna find a hideout

i just took 17 maps to get to one and died in it

[balmy topaz]

I'm like 50% sure that they combined that ability into divines?

[snow cosmos]

do i have to do renlys mud burrow quest in cruel a1 again or just skip it and continue with the main quest?

[arctic obsidian]

Purchase a gem stash 500 space its all grey out can't store anything inside Purchase another 1 and it's the same shit

[balmy topaz]

iirc you get passive points from that quest, so worth doing for sure,
but can skip it if you really want to

[balmy topaz]

did you set gem affinity?

[arctic obsidian]

What's that?

[balmy topaz]

right click on the tab (or whatever the equivillent on controller is)
select this:

now whenever you deposit a gem into your stash, it should go in there

as for the 2nd tab you bought, if you contact support you should be able to get a point refund, they're pretty good with that stuff from what I've heard

[upper totem]

Someone have an idea how much exalted orbs i could get with that?

[balmy topaz]

what results did you get when you searched yourself?

[upper totem]

totally different on the trading site. thats why im unsure

[distant falcon]

Does this work like normal crit, so for example +100% crit boosts a 10% crit chance to 20% or does it actually guarantee a crit? can't decide by text saying inevitable lmao

[sleek geyser]

I had the same issue earlier where a rare appeared outside of the map border. If I don’t see a bug report for it on the forum, I will try to do so tomorrow, but you should probably do so as well. I have to believe they can check to make sure something spawns inside our outside of a border or not.

[balmy topaz]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/6vK6MOjUG

60 res, 800 armour, 30 life, pretty simple filter, seems most results are only 1ex

3x res might lift the price up a bit, maybe 3ex or so

[tribal fjord]

increased from your Base crit, see base % on weapon or skill gem

[distant falcon]

so just like normal, got it thank you

[tribal fjord]

yeah inevitable is kinda

[pliant grove]

why i cant socket my rune to boots

is there rune limitations

[mental turtle]

guys what does this mean?

[balmy topaz]

shouldn't be any limits,
you need to use the action button right on the socket though, not just the boot

[pliant grove]

ok, i had to remove the boots, socket the rune, then equip the boots

[distant falcon]

I guess it's fine for lightning conduit, only using it on bosses anyway it's just straight up 100% crit

[pliant grove]

now it worked

[meager sundial]

Ive been using Electrocute nodes on the tree without reading and didnt realize i needed something that can electrocute. Other than Kitokas and Electrocute support, are there any other easy sources of Electrocute

[rough reef]

If anyone knows about archmage or wands that could help me find a price for this that'd be really appreciated, I have no idea, lots of the stat combos aren't on trade, and the comparable ones have higher lightning/spell damage than mine

[balmy topaz]

👀 That looks nice

[dry ruin]

i have 4.6k es and every time ive entered this limestone hideout map i've instantly died. im using a white tier 1 and i just die as soon as i enter because i have nowhere to go and get instantly attacked i dont even know whats killing me holy shit

[distant falcon]

build up your resistances as well

[dry ruin]

my res is capped

[distant falcon]

oh

[tribal fjord]

sounds like a bug

[bitter vine]

sounds like a skill issue

[outer anchor]

What are these red orbs that show up all over my maps? They aren't Blood Mage health globes, those are more solid-looking (don't have a darker inner part), and walking over them does nothing.

[bitter vine]

pretty sure they're beyond nodes

sorry not beyond uhh corruption

[pliant grove]

coagulate?

[bitter vine]

if enough of them are close together they form the portal

[outer anchor]

ah gotcha

[bitter vine]

ye its just the beyond shit if u played poe1

idk

[outer anchor]

just a bit confusing for me because I am playing blood mage and I keep thinking they're health pickups lol

[balmy topaz]

yeah honestly doesn't seem like there's too many close to that, with these 2 being the closest,
I'd start at like 250, lower it by 10 every now and then if it doesn't sell

[rough reef]

Thanks, i'll do that

[pliant grove]

holy..gears are expensive

my res suck because im too cheap to spend beyond 2ex for good armor haha

[bitter vine]

invest in your character

gear helps you clear

helps you make more money

[pastel narwhal]

this is a sanctum thing. Binding removes 8% of my movement speed per stack. is that permanent?

[distant falcon]

monsters inflict it

each hit does -8% and it goes away i think

[balmy topaz]

Nah, its just the standard debuff, not permanent

[pastel narwhal]

it goes away huh

after few secs

ok ty

[balmy topaz]

think its like 3 or 5 seconds default

[pliant grove]

true, but right now what kills me is the closed space with many mobs like breach/rituals or whenever i got ganged up by white mobs. i have also no idea why normal mobs do like interrupt/ministun on hits

[bitter vine]

so buy damage

[pliant grove]

good thing is my char has no use for weapons

[pliant grove]

looks like i should pickup wands on my map runs

[round finch]

It's so annoying to clear a rare level 5 map and get 4 map drops that are level 1, 2, 3, and 3. How am I supposed to increase my level at this rate

[pliant grove]

i think best is to just buy waystones

or join parties

[round finch]

I'm out of waystones to buy 😞

[zinc lily]

what gear would use for twinking a witch?

[round finch]

Maybe I should find some parties, haven't tried that at all

[balmy topaz]

gotta do your high level waystones on nodes that have league mechanics,
like bosses/delerium/breach etc

[pliant grove]

from players..t15 maps cost like 1 ex

[round finch]

I shouldn't need to buy maps to go up in rank

[pliant grove]

you dont..there are other options

map sustain, parties

[balmy topaz]

and make sure to start with this corner in the atlas passive tree:

[gilded wadi]

If you are not dying and wasting waystones often, 90% clearing maps, and using currency on maps, map sustain shouldn't be too bad

[pliant grove]

i died on my t10..still recovered

[open stirrup]

is this ok or should I remake some of these points?

[balmy topaz]

this is mine,
since my primary focus is waystone sustain, and pack size

[south minnow]

How do I get back here? I tp'd out to use a well, but now idk how to TP back?

[balmy topaz]

act 3 cruel -

[arctic stone]

Is there not a gamble npc for hideout?>

[south minnow]

oh thank you!

[gilded wadi]

there is not

[snow wasp]

do the symbols inside the circle of the atlas ability tree mean/do anything or are they just decoration?

[balmy topaz]

just decoration

[wraith spindle]

Reforge them, at least that's smth

[swift bronze]

What jewels would you guys recommend for a witch hunter that primarily uses grenades?

[tribal fjord]

crossbow damage/reload

[balmy topaz]

red:
increased armour,
fire res penetration,
fire damage
life regen/leech
green:
crossbow damage,
blue:
mana regen/leech

[snow wasp]

what exactly does difficulty do? (atlas modifier)

[balmy topaz]

press alt, hover over it, should tell you

think its just more damage/defence

[snow wasp]

hm, it says bosses gain new abilities and start dropping exclusive items

[real yacht]

what does this icon mean

[plain fable]

Is a flask with reduceed charges per use or maximum charges increase better

[balmy topaz]

has armour,
I believe?

[balmy topaz]

reduced per use is usually better,
since you need to gain less charges per use

[olive barn]

guys i finished the acts and this portal disappeared how do i get back?

[real yacht]

i tried using armour piercing bolts but it didnt do any damage

[astral thunder]

Who here is knowledgeable enough to explain me these 3 skills?

[balmy topaz]

go down the stairs into the hideout place

[astral thunder]

Does this mean if i have 1000 cold damage. I freez/chill some monster, my elemental damage goes up to 1300 cold damage?

[balmy topaz]

If you chill an enemy within the past 4 seconds, you gain 30% increased ele damage

increased isn't multiplied with other increased, just added

[mental turtle]

is there a way to see annointment formulas?

[astral thunder]

shouldnt it be atleast 1300 dmg then? if there is like another % added somewhere

[ivory forge]

Depends if u are dealing 1000 before other increased sources

[balmy topaz]

Say you're currently dealing 1000 damage,
200 base damage +400% increased = 1000
if you add 30% increased,
it becomes 430% increased,
so 200 +430% increased = 1060 damage, not 1300

all depends on how much increased you currently have from other sources though

[astral thunder]

Understandable then i guess

wish we could see those modifiers somewhere too

or can we? 😄

[balmy topaz]

nah, no PoB for poe2 yet unfortunately, makes it tough to see

[plain fable]

wtfffff

wtf do you mean recover all mana when used

[clear crag]

i just did my first map, is there not supposed to be a boss? just fought 2 elites after opening 3 levers

[fringe hill]

after I complete a map do I need to do anything or just start another one?

[balmy topaz]

Nah, maps don't have a boss by deafault

this icon means they have a boss

[outer anchor]

It's definitely being worked on, but LocalIdentity plans to roll it out on the new engine (in Go rather than Lua) and states it probably won't be ready for a few months, although he wants it done before the full release

[balmy topaz]

If you're sure you completed it, just start another

[snow wasp]

how do endgame item progression work? higher waystone = better items? do they still scale with character level, like will there be some requiring me to be level 100?

[forest saddle]

is there a list of all the bosses that give spirit resis/stats, and skill points?

[astral thunder]

i was just hella confused when i didnt saw that huge 30%' increase :DD

[balmy topaz]

Not all the way to 100,
highest item level is at 80 I believe?

[balmy topaz]

yeah 😄 always less than expected,
if you want a flat multiplier, you need to look for "more" rather than "increased",
but those nodes are very rare in poe2 :(

[clear crag]

i did a blue strongbox, and i've cleared every monster on the map but it won't open

[balmy topaz]

they spawn in waves, very slowly, around the box,
if it says 0 monsters left, then its probably bugged

I wouldn't bother with strongboxes in poe2 tbh,
they give as much loot as a blue chest 😄

[clear crag]

Oh so you get 6 tries to finish a map? why is everyone tripping over losing 1 of the 6 tries if you die?

[balmy topaz]

all the portals close if you die

[clear crag]

consequences make challenges make fun

[balmy topaz]

the 6 are there for disconnects/ stashing loot

[clear crag]

ohhh

gotcha, okidoki

[supple salmon]

how do i get a new token for the trials? i already used mine

[clear crag]

glad i used chronomancer ascendencies for my frost monk lol

[balmy topaz]

randomly dropped from monsters

[clear crag]

temporal rift has saved me from countless deaths haha

[amber helm]

for the first you can just talk to balbala

[brittle quarry]

somoene help ascendance trial

[clear crag]

i'm confused, I thought I just finished this map?

[astral thunder]

I think we can add to and more as same

[amber helm]

sometimes it doesnt display properly, probably if you have portals still open

[astral thunder]

I was confused about this aswell, but now i get the increased part

[clear crag]

isn't that the difference between a multiplicative and additive bonus?

[astral thunder]

It seems so yea

[clear crag]

gotcha, so I just ignore the open portals and slot a new map. ty

kinda wish they did a little tutorial for maps at the end

[balmy topaz]

maybe in poe3 ggg will add some tutorials/explanations

[clear crag]

I'm sure it's coming eventually

[wicked scaffold]

Looking for someone crazy with item filter.
I write my own filter since years but i have such a wild exp with an item.

PM pls

[balmy topaz]

😄 post it here
afaik the item exp are just regex? should be easy to check stuff

[clear crag]

my 3rd points trial will drop randomly while doing maps right?

no way to influence the drop rate?

[balmy topaz]

3 floor sanctum drops at lvl 60+ zones iirc, so yeah anywhere in maps
10 trial chaos onlydrops at 75+ though,

no real way to influence,
there is an atlas node that gives an increased chance on deserts though:

best bet is just to buy them, they're like 1ex each if you wonna run 1

[distant falcon]

can anyone tell me what the point of this is?

[balmy topaz]

more difficulty -> more loot

[south minnow]

Is there some special thing to place the hooded one in your hideout? I can place all other availible NPCs, except him

[balmy topaz]

nah, he's not available for the hideout yet

[south minnow]

D: Lame

[knotty shoal]

what happens if you brick a unique with vaal? turns into a rare?

[balmy topaz]

yeah, it can turn into a rare

[cerulean pike]

No tyrael for ur home 😦

[plain fable]

im not crying ur crying

[arctic stone]

How does ilvl work in regards to monster level?

If im doing an area level 73, does that mean items can drop as high as ilvl 73?

[balmy topaz]

yeah

I believe rare monsters can drop items iLvl up to 2 higher than the zone? or something like that though

[arctic stone]

But that doesnt mean allitems will be that ilvl right, thats just as high as they can go?

[frank viper]

In poe1 drops being corrupted was good for finding things like 6 links, is there a benifit to chosing a modifier that increases corruption chance in poe2?

[balmy topaz]

the iLvl will always be that high,
the level requirement won't change, thats just fixed to the base item

[bitter vine]

what modifier even does this

[frank viper]

like logbooks signs "10% increased chance for drops to be corrupted"

[bitter vine]

ah

i mean +1 socket, implicits, chance of uniques to roll past their usual roll range

but nothing as good as 6links i guess

[fathom reef]

what is this implicit??? is this what the 'expert' means???

[bitter vine]

yea thats just expert rogue armours implciit

not every expert item

[fathom reef]

so what are these expert items? just higher lvl bases of lower ones but with wild implicits on top?

[bitter vine]

yes

normal > advanced > expert

[arctic stone]

Seems pretty consistent that poe2 has +1 ilvl drops for rares

[fathom reef]

so generally expert means dope implicit?

[balmy topaz]

ah, might be +1 for rare, +2 for unique? can't remember the specifics

[bitter vine]

i guess? if thats how u wanna think about it

[bitter vine]

ya

same in poe2

i got t14 waystone from a t11 map boss once

[balmy topaz]

imagine,
all I get in my t15s are t4 stones 😄

[bitter vine]

i hide anything below t13

[clear crag]

is the best way to sift thru loot quickly to just compare ilvl to required lvl?

if it doesn't have a much higher ilvl it's shit right?

I've got 2 quads full of rares I don't wanna touch

and I don't have an eyeball to quickly judge what's good T_T

[bitter vine]

just gotta develop the eyeball really

[fathom reef]

Do you not care about gold anymore? I'm only t7 but I've been selling t1s for gold

[fathom reef]

Lol k.

[bitter vine]

i stopped caring a while ago i guess

[clear crag]

is every class universally valuing max life and resistances above everything on armour?

[fathom reef]

Generally yes until you hit a threshold

[bitter vine]

or energy shield
boots without MS are generally pretty bad

[fathom reef]

The "base requirements" in poe are generally life, 40+ ele resist and if they don't have that then they need something really good to offset

Like amazing crit or +DMG or accuracy or stats or something

And then boots require move speed

[bitter vine]

yea like when i was buying gear starting out here was the weighted search i was doing

literally just looking for life+res

sometimes i'd add in a premium stat but when i was literally just breaking into t1 maps

[arctic stone]

How do you add the tiers?

[bitter vine]

add stat group > weighted sum

its not tiers its like

[fathom reef]

Ya this is how you shop to get started in maps and then once your res is capped and you.have decent life you start looking for the fun stats, but life and res are your vegetables

And everyone's gotta eat their vegetables

[bitter vine]

if the mod is there it will multiply it by the weight

and then you just put in a minimum sum

[arctic stone]

too much math

you can stop now

xD

[bitter vine]

can do it for archmage gear too

weighted sum with int weight 2 and mana weight 1

cuz 1 int = 2 mana

[stray geyser]

so the endgame map is getting resettet or what exactly is happening there? i found a wall and 2 days later the wall is now at the southwest

[clear crag]

how is it that the gear I see on poe trade has MUUUCH higher ilvl than lvl requirement? Like every gear I've found doesn't even have 1/4th of the stats as what I have on that I got from trade, despite having 20+ higher lvl requirement

[bitter vine]

it should expand infinitely

[knotty shoal]

Do these fragments give you anything after trial of chaos? just more loot?

[clear crag]

and i'm not talking about 20% quality gear

[bitter vine]

ilvl is only loosely tied to level req
ilvl enables the gear to roll higher tiers (which have higher level req), but if it doesnt roll those higher tiers to begin with, then the req. level will not increase

[vestal igloo]

Anyone know why a build with mind over matter (damage taken from mana before life) would take life damage while mana is still above 50%?

[clear crag]

Why have I never seen really high ilvl gear then? Is it just seomthing you see in maps?

[stray geyser]

nope 😄 it cut off all my progress of the last 2 days and now its just like a borderend

[pine tinsel]

How do I set something in the market so they can offer prices instead of a set price in premium tabs?

[bitter vine]

ya i mean ilvl is tied to the monster level

level 79 monsters (t15 maps) drop level 79 gear
rare monsters can drop +1 (level 80 gear)
uniques can drop +2 (level 81 gear)

[clear crag]

like highest +max life i've found is like 60, but if you look on poe trade you can easily find +200 max life gear for a nickel

ooooh

[bitter vine]

its just variance too

[stray geyser]

@bitter vine

[bitter vine]

yea 2 of mine have edges too

[clear crag]

and you can get level requirement like...50 something from a lvl79 monster?

[bitter vine]

but they expand infinitely in the other way

[bitter vine]

please refer to this @clear crag

[hushed epoch]

how can you increase the quality of an unique amulet?

[bitter vine]

ilvl enables the gear to roll higher tiers (which have higher level req), but if it doesnt roll those higher tiers to begin with, then the req. level will not increase

[bitter vine]

catalysts

[stray geyser]

but the border rotated?

[balmy topaz]

if you approach them, i.e complete a map next to them, they appear, it keeps expanding that way,
its just a visual rendering bug

[bitter vine]

oh TIL

[stray geyser]

i ll try this ty

[hushed epoch]

any of them?

[bitter vine]

whichever catalyst matches the stat you wish to increase the quality of

what is the amulet in question

[hushed epoch]

it's for Everlasting gaze

it has Increase mana regen on it as implicit

[clear crag]

i understand that. just wondering why I've never seen good drops before haha. 2 full quads full of rares all selling at 1 exalt and no hits in 3 days. everything has really low ilvl relative to the requirement. Guess it's just bad luck

[bitter vine]

neural catalyst will increase both the implicit mana regen and the flat mana

but they made the 'mana gained as energy shield' an unscalable value (which you can see if you hold alt)

[balmy topaz]

iLvl doesn't do anything on its own,
just increases the possible tier of modifiers, doesn't guarantee them,
you can still roll a bunch of t1 mods, even with iLvl 80 😄

[hushed epoch]

okay ty

[austere sandal]

is this increasing in price or decreasing? like should I keep or sell now ?

[bitter vine]

its been 90 as long as i can remember

if its more than 90 on alva now then you may wanna hold onto it

[balmy topaz]

so far its been slowly rising

[bitter vine]

alternatively just sell it now and make use of the 90 exalts

to speed up your farming/make your build more efficient at clearing

which should pay off in the long run

[austere sandal]

yeah thats what I was thinking , selling and getting a better weapon

[bitter vine]

if it does rise it will only be like a

5-10 exalt difference

[austere sandal]

its 94 now on alva

[bitter vine]

or maybe it'll be like 120 exalts 4 days from now (hypothetically)

but whats more important

94 ex now or 120 in X days

[balmy topaz]

I mean, 2 days ago it was 60ex, now its 90

[bitter vine]

up to you to decide this really

[balmy topaz]

but yeah, I'd say investing the 90ex into your character will get you a return of way more 😄

[bitter vine]

speaking of price jumps divines went from 9 to 26ex in the timespan of 24hours*

[balmy topaz]

yeah

[austere sandal]

yeah I sold like 3 for 7-8 ex

[balmy topaz]

rip my dreams of randomly rolling my crossbow

[arctic stone]

Say you wanted to sell this, how would you go about trying to price it?

Would you search all 4 mods, or just pick 2 of them? like what do you do?

Then do you specific by putting your rolls of each mod as the "min"?

[bitter vine]

i been slowly buying them today throughout the day but god i wish i was doing that yesterday instead

[balmy topaz]

minrolled flat phys

[sand eagle]

Can somone explain how to get all the map boss passives on atlas tree? im stuck at 6

[bitter vine]

when it comes to jewels i just search for the presence of the mods cuz they dont have tiers

[balmy topaz]

start by searching all 4, with like a 20% lenience on the min value

[arctic stone]

So you just search for all 4 mods in this instance?

[austere sandal]

and do you have any idea if elemental damge here stacks or multiplies with projectile damage?

[bitter vine]

first two points come from monster level 79 boss
next two come from monster level 80 (so t16 OR irradiated OR corrupted)
next two come from monster level 81 (so two of the above)
next two come from monster level 82 (all three of the above)
last two come from arbiter

[sand eagle]

ty so much

[bitter vine]

you can do a count 3 if you want

sec

[arctic stone]

but how do you decide which ones you pick?

[bitter vine]

will return jewels that have at least 3 of the listed 4 mods

[arctic stone]

So do you really not use the "stat filters" section much?

[bitter vine]

i mean thats fine too

[plain fable]

how high level can melee get jeez

[arctic stone]

7

[plain fable]

goddamn

[bitter vine]

i only really use the AND (the default stat filter) when i want to guarantee those mods specifically

like my boots MUST have 25 min movespeed

or something

though if you're just matching all 4 mods its fine to use stat filter

[austere sandal]

any way to calculate if x more physical dps on my weapon is more dmg than 1 more lvl to the skill gem ?

[pliant grove]

anyone familiar with map names and corresponding boss?

example: fortress - balbala

[austere sandal]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Waystones#EndgameMaps

[fluid stirrup]

Do you need to do a specific map tier to see breachstone splinters? None dropping from my breaches

[bitter vine]

red maps (11 or higher)

[arctic stone]

Do you know if there's a way to click this without using your mouse? So i can stay hovered on it off screen

Hovered on the item im price checking, i mean

[balmy topaz]

press alt - click the pin in the top right

[fluid stirrup]

Is that same for all league mechanics too? Like the ritual invite for the king of the mists, simulacrum splinters for deli boss, etc?

And whatever expedition boss is

[bitter vine]

i know its the same for simu splinters

idk if its the same for logbooks and the kings invitations

[arctic stone]

You genius

[bitter vine]

i assume so

[fluid stirrup]

Awesome ty!

[arctic stone]

So say youre price checking this item

I know its not a great item

But is this how you would do it?

with the minimums and everything or?

[delicate falcon]

does corrupting a weapon remove quality?

[bitter vine]

id just look for 110+ energy shield honestly

lol

• rarity

[balmy topaz]

unless it bricks it, no

[delicate falcon]

ah ok

[arctic stone]

Why not max hp? Because ES items generally are stacking mana+es not hp?

[mental turtle]

is there any way to price check items like old poe1 or no program out yet?

[bitter vine]

yes

[bitter vine]

sidekick but its not great?

i mean i guess its fine

[arctic stone]

So you really gotta know meta builds and such to get an ideai if items are priced well..

OR is that pretty typical of ES items in PoE 1 as well?

[balmy topaz]

there's no awakened poe trade for poe2 yet

[bitter vine]

it was typical of poe1 to just 'know whats good'

cuz some builds need some niche ass affixes

that seem like dumpstats sometimes

[storm flax]

I was doing my first map and i ran through the whole map but it still says that there are 9 monsters left, tried going around again but i just can't find them. Is there any good way to find them or am i just fucked

[bitter vine]

dont full clear your maps just kill the rares

PLEASE dont full clear zones

[balmy topaz]

once you get to below 50, usually just don't worry 😄

[arctic stone]

Is this not a waste of xp on juiced maps?

[bitter vine]

the time you spent doing laps would have been better spent in the next map already killing a higher density of mobs

[lunar kraken]

FCK

[arctic stone]

I usually go until I see less then 50 enemies remaining or I've covered most of the map

[balmy topaz]

running around for 10 minutes to find 3 mobs is a much much bigger waste of xp

[lunar kraken]

god damn after death effects

[bitter vine]

XP is infinite
time is finite

[arctic stone]

yeah but map sustain isnt infite

infinite*

[storm flax]

ok after i've killed all the rares what do i do, like how to i end the map and move on to another one?

[bitter vine]

even in my 8mod t15s i just do the breach + do the rares and get out

you just portal out

[balmy topaz]

just start the next map

[arctic stone]

But map sustain?

[balmy topaz]

yeah, this is what I do

[bitter vine]

what the hell is map sustain

[storm flax]

and just start a new one even though it says map in progress?

[bitter vine]

yes it'll say map in progress until you go to the next map

[opal sigil]

How do you get T16 map?

[arctic stone]

Ive heard constant complaints about not being able to sutain maps

[bitter vine]

corruption outcome

[storm flax]

ok ty

[arctic stone]

at t15

[bitter vine]

breach + anointed maps (delirious) i oversustain easily

[pliant grove]

what is the more common currency if the value of item is lower than 1 EX?

[balmy topaz]

probably a regal, like 7 regal : 1ex

[arctic stone]

(breach about to get density nerfed, but that aside)

Im only at t5 maps (Can do higher for sure, but doing the quests)

I do not have the currency to juice these maps and then leave before i finish clearing most of it

[bitter vine]

i was trans+aug white maps
trans+aug regal yellow maps
sustain was fine
when i got to high red maps i started just alch+vaal

[arctic stone]

bro idk how

i have 17 regals

i havent gotten a regal in 4 maps, easily

[bitter vine]

1 exalt is 7 regals

[balmy topaz]

probably disenchanting rares

[pliant grove]

t5 maps can complete t4 map quests

[arctic stone]

Okay great that only goes you to 3 mods

[pliant grove]

just go higher

[arctic stone]

then what?

Waste exalts i dont have?

[bitter vine]

and that was enough for me to sustain

buddy idk what to tell u

i was smooth sailing until 13+

[arctic stone]

Really 3 mods is enough?

[balmy topaz]

yeah

[bitter vine]

only at 12-15 did i start to struggle to sustain

[arctic stone]

I'll give it a shot

[opal sigil]

What do you mean by anoint? precursor? if so, then how do you force breach?

[arctic stone]

I dont really have the waystones to go higher

[storm flax]

how do you get that loot overlay thing btw, seen a lot of ppl use it

[clear crag]

am i supposed to do anything with these?

[arctic stone]

These fucking maps are only dropping t5 and below

[bitter vine]

anoint = distiled emotions
breach is what i precursor

[balmy topaz]

go to the person nearby,
plant explosives,
detonate,
fight and loot 😄

[opal sigil]

Oh, you can anoint map now?

[bitter vine]

yes

guilt is 7-8 to one exalt (so 1 ex = 2.3 maps) and gives 24% pack size

[arctic stone]

Whats the purpose of annointing maps? What does it do?

[bitter vine]

makes them harder but each different emotion corresponds to a different benefit

also the mobs become capable of dropping simulacrum splinters when you get to red (t11 and up)

[graceful flax]

can you portal out during the breach boss fight ?

[bitter vine]

no

[arctic stone]

What does delirious do?

[bitter vine]

mobs take 27% less damage

[arctic stone]

hot

[bitter vine]

i wouldnt do it until red maps and if your build is good

basically its just difficulty for reward

the simulacrum splinters make it super worth

[arctic stone]

How does it give more rewards?

Is it just 1 mod = more reward?

[bitter vine]

delirious makes the map covered in the delirium fog

so it spawns delirium mobs

which can be rare (rares = loot)

and can drop splinters

[exotic gazelle]

are you able to redo nodes that you already did in any way?

[balmy topaz]

nope

[bitter vine]

i walk out of each map with anywhere from 3-8 splinters

[exotic gazelle]

.......???????

[arctic stone]

This is my currency im working with atm

Nervous to spend any of it

[bitter vine]

invest in your character

also those armorers scraps are money

[balmy topaz]

sup?

[bitter vine]

armorers scraps are 4 to 1 exalt

thats 30 ex in armorers scraps

incase you werent aware

[arctic stone]

wait what really

lol

[exotic gazelle]

are they all the same "difficulty" and only the waystone tier matters?

[arctic stone]

When should i use it on my own gear?

[bitter vine]

scraps only improve the evasion/es/armour so if you have a good base with high evasion/es/armour

this isnt bad to quality

[balmy topaz]

yeah, only waystone affects difficulty,
other than the map-specific stuff like layout/size

[storm flax]

anyone else wanna tell me how i can get a loot overlay like this?

[balmy topaz]

using a loot filter,
e.g a basic lite one:
https://github.com/NeverSinkDev/NeverSink-PoE2litefilter

[arctic stone]

lol thanks for the advice

[storm flax]

ty

[balmy topaz]

chaos are also like 1.3 ex each, if you don't plan on using them,
and whetstones 1:10 or so iirc?

[stray geyser]

does a loot filter also can tell if a boss is charging an attack or am i just paranoid?

[bitter vine]

loot filter is explicitly just about ur loot ...

doesnt do anything else

[arctic stone]

So i could just do a single annoint and chill with that?

[bitter vine]

id wait until red maps

also id check what emotions you use cuz some are like 5ex each

i pretty much only use the cheap 2

envy and guilt

[arctic stone]

How does it give more rewards? Idk if there was an answer before

[waxen mango]

anyone know what kind of buffs you get for mapping in a party? is it the same as poe1?

[arctic stone]

Just each mod that adds difficulty gives more rewards or?

[bitter vine]

delirious maps adds delirium monsters (same as the mirror of delirium that can spawn on the atlas)
so thats just more mobs
some of them can be rare which is great cuz rares are the bulk of your income
in red maps+ they drop simulacrum splinters, 2.5 splinters is about 1ex, you walk out of a map with anywhere from like 3 to 10

the simulacrum splinters is the big kicker which is why i say wait till red maps

[arctic stone]

So if im understanding this right, suffixes gives more waystone?

[bitter vine]

but obviously the anoint itself is also more loot (15% more rare monsters in your screenshots example"

[arctic stone]

I have 2 waystones, one with a suffixe, and one with only a prefix

but the suffix has 95% more waystone drops

[bitter vine]

im not sure what the inc. waystone drops are tied to

[arctic stone]

is that just chance or do suffix always increase waystone drops?

[balmy topaz]

yes,
prefix is usually beneficial stuff, like more pack size,
suffix makes it more difficult, but increased waystone %

[bitter bay]

woo, zooming through act 4

[arctic stone]

Just more waystone, or does that increase rarity too?

Or does rarity only go up if it says it goes up?

[balmy topaz]

nah, rarity has to be explicitly mentioned

[arctic stone]

Also i think its funny that pack size isnt considered difficulty increase

but i suppose it sorta makes sense

[storm flax]

there is no way to know this right so do i just get to under 50 and then leave?

[bitter vine]

rares are highlighted on the map

when theres <200 mobs remaining

with yellow skull icons

[storm flax]

[stray geyser]

so its a setting that i hear the same sound like an item drop if a boss doing his attack? never noted this sound until i used a filter and my first though was that im cheating now 😄

[sacred oar]

literally every map my friend and i try, just disconnects us immediately. wtf is this

[arctic stone]

Wow my first greater essence

[balmy topaz]

loot filters use sounds already existing in the game, that could be why,
don't worry, you haven't done anything wrong 😄

[arctic stone]

Why does every single rare i ever fight burst into this blood shit

Not just this map but all maps

[bitter vine]

cuz the lore gimmick of

'cleansing the corruption'

and ggg didnt stop and think

[arctic stone]

Does it do anything?

Just cosmetic?

[bitter vine]

hmmm maybe this impacts visual clarity

just cosmetic

[arctic stone]

LMFAO

it always scared the fuck outta me

was afraid to die in it

[bitter vine]

typically only the last rare in the map's explosion is super noticable

so its not all that bad but

idk i dont think something cosmetic should take priority over gameplay

and having an explosion like that

[balmy topaz]

honestly, best bet it to give it a second before approaching anyway,
will stop you randomly getting tapped by an on-death mechanic

[bitter vine]

when on-death effects are the #1 source of rips in this game

is absolutely insane

[arctic stone]

So you wont even look for the other league mechanics on the map? Say ritual or w/e, if you complete the map's rares?

[bitter vine]

no ill do whatever mechanics i put on the map

[frigid lantern]

The thing is, there are a few rares that have on-death mechanic that deals an insane amount of chaos/physical dmg that fvcked people over

[arctic stone]

How do you feel about rituals?

I feel like they're completely unfair and kinda toxic

[frigid lantern]

The area is too small in some places so I get what you mean

[trim stream]

can u use artificer's orb on corrupted weapoins?

[arctic stone]

Fucking tell me about it

[frigid lantern]

Yep, too small

[bitter vine]

think theyre fine but yea can be in some pretty bad spots

[plain fable]

Am I misunderstanding something or do you really need to farm 30 or so breaches just to attempt the pinnacle boss one time, and if you fail you have to refarm another 300

[delicate torrent]

How do I recover from this?

[arctic stone]

Is this a global modifier to armour?

[tough cypress]

anyone else having issues with maps with just getting into the portals for the map? is there any way to fix it (im playing duo)

[plain fable]

omg u dont wtf

[balmy topaz]

take a nap, pretend it never happened

[balmy topaz]

yes

[balmy topaz]

it be like that

[plain fable]

Seriously?

Thats insanity, they need to buff the splinter droprate

[bitter vine]

or you just buy them/the stone

breach splinters are already too good

[plain fable]

I get 10 splinters for full clearing breach and just end up afking on the edge waiting for it to creep further out cause its too slow

[delicate torrent]

Is there more of the same citadel? Or am I screwed cuz quest counted complete but I couldn't pick up the fragment

[arctic stone]

Why do people just keep saying dodging doesnt have i-frames? it clear does

[bitter vine]

there's more but theyre pain to find

[bitter vine]

cuz ppl are silly

[arctic stone]

Is this a global modifier to armour?

Im assuming so right?

[balmy topaz]

#2┃after-acts-help message

[arctic stone]

Sorry, for some reason it didnt highlight your response

And no audio notif

[remote sage]

well can be hard to tell what part of the roll has i-frames

[balmy topaz]

😄 my bad, I have pings disabled by default

[plain fable]

what is this ring

[arctic stone]

tower radius

[plain fable]

I never noticed it before, has it always been there lmao

[remote sage]

wdym its huge ahahahah

[bitter vine]

doesnt help it doesnt always show up

when you click a tower

tbf

[cursive rune]

What is the OP af monk build that uses the bell and hits for millions in end game? Anyone with a link?

[arctic stone]

this one sucked lmao

and it was rat tornadoes

[bitter vine]

just go search mathil lightsaber monk or something

but thats pretty much every monk build right now

[cursive rune]

Thank you!

[arctic stone]

hopefully the skill gem buffs next patch will bring some lower end skills up to par

[bitter vine]

ya

[delicate girder]

is there a point to do hideout maps on higher tiers? it's really small map and small chance that u will get back waystone

[bitter vine]

put a t1 in and just zoom it

[light crest]

Does mana per hit on attacks work with spells too or are attacks limited to martial weapons?

[true jacinth]

My friend dropped this +2 map boss atlas skill points book and died right before he could grab it, did he lose these points forever or is there another spot he can get this specific one?

[delicate girder]

ty that was my plan

[arctic stone]

Which would you keep? (If i keep right i slam again, obviously)

[bitter vine]

any monster level 79 boss will drop the first two points

[ivory forge]

Does doryani have it maybe

[bitter vine]

but true doryani might have it, kirac served a similar purpose in poe1

[ivory forge]

It was like that in poe 1

[balmy topaz]

skills and attacks are separate,
if you hover over the skill, it should tell you in the tags which it is

[true jacinth]

he said no

[forest saddle]

this might be stupidbut how do i get clarity and preicsion

[arctic stone]

ehhh

[forest saddle]

i dont see it in my gem cutter things

[ivory forge]

He can prob get it again doing the same thing then

[balmy topaz]

uncut support gem

[arctic stone]

Chaos res one is better right?

[stray geyser]

what is the "best" kind of map to farm waystones? I prefer Sandspit?

[light crest]

so this wouldnt count as an attack then right?

[balmy topaz]

correct

[remote sage]

though i like the recovery applied instantly more :3

[arctic stone]

I do too, but chaos res is so hard to find haha

[remote sage]

yeah i feel you

[arctic stone]

mfw this is what my rez looks like

[stray geyser]

haha tat emote and than "Life" hah

[remote sage]

way better than mine, i'm just doding my way to victory

[bitter vine]

@plain fable idk i really dont think they should buff breach splinter rate

breach splinter drops just scale ridiculously hard with the number of points in the breach tree

[arctic stone]

stacking eva so the game dodges for me

10/10 strats

[remote sage]

be prepared fo the big 2 0 0

[plain fable]

Thank god we added trees to hide bridges where explosions from dead mobs can happen and one shot, I for sure misplayed there..

[remote sage]

Def your bad for not having thermal vision

[bitter vine]

true

[arctic stone]

Am i being stupid selling this for one ex

[weary gyro]

does anyone know how to unlock the guild hideout?

[plain fable]

thank god that misplay just cost me 15% of my xp bar and my only map that I had to sustain

thats not tilting at all

[balmy topaz]

welcome the the Vision™️

[bitter vine]

at least its all getting nerfed

[bitter vine]

list it and see if you get spammed

[plain fable]

I dont trust that nerf, even after changes u bet ur ass im staying 15 feet away from the corpse for a good 5 seconds to make sure its not gonna 1 shot me, I got PTSD bro

[stray geyser]

same happend to me with a tier 9 map and now i need to start from 4 again

[remote sage]

Hey that is my strat dont copy me

[plain fable]

I can give you like 5 9s for free

[arctic stone]

Isnt there a way to add "total resistances equal X%?

[opal sigil]

@bitter vine Do you full clear map? or just rush boss/rare?

[balmy topaz]

use this template:
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/X2llkd7UP

[bitter vine]

league mechanic, rare+boss, then until i feel like i've cleared enough. if i have to backtrack then i wont bother

[bitter vine]

you should put strength weight 2 in the life sum

[stray geyser]

well thanks but how high are your maps than? xD

[balmy topaz]

ah yeah, thought I had that, edited

[plain fable]

im trying to sustain 15s, that was my last 14

but i keep lower level ones in case someone needs some so if you give me your ign i can give you some

[bitter bay]

i feel like random drops in poe2 are a bit better:

[bitter vine]

damn

insane

[bitter bay]

gonna save this for a spark build lol

[arctic stone]

@bitter vineDo you have a suggestion for atlas pathing for early maps?

[plain fable]

i tried spark in demon, I cant stand that spell

[arctic stone]

This is what i have so far, and have 2 more points

like idk what this even means

[bitter vine]

these nodes are all good

[plain fable]

get the top nodes

[bitter vine]

explicit modifiers = affixes

[arctic stone]

So both prefix and suffice?

aka mods?

[bitter vine]

yes

[arctic stone]

Ah oka

okay*

[bitter vine]

but not instiling emotions which is an implicit

[plain fable]

stronger affixes=higher waystone droprate

[hushed epoch]

is there any way you can target farm specific uniques? or it's just pure RNG?

[arctic stone]

3% though seems insanely low

[bitter vine]

its a bigger deal than u think

[arctic stone]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-steve-carell-michael-scott-thats-what-she-said-gif-20446601

[bitter vine]

The way mobs and maps work in PoE1 and 2 is that each downside corresponds to hidden amount of quantity and rarity.

eg. The "Always poisons" mod on a Rare mob might add something like 20% increased quantity and 70% increased rarity behind the scenes.

Same with explicit effect of modifiers on maps. 8% increased effect of the explicit modifiers means sure, the 60% increased Monster Life is now 65%, but it also means the hidden 30% quant is now 32.4%.

[plain fable]

bro had the copy and paste ready

[bitter vine]

indeed

[arctic stone]

Where did you get this from?

[bitter vine]

me

[arctic stone]

xD

what a legend

[bitter vine]

cuz a lot of ppl ask about this node

"why would i want my rares/uniques to be harder"

[remote sage]

He took notes, they became so handy he has them on macros.

[bitter vine]

people just ask the same questions a lot really

typically on mechanics that are not well explained

[arctic stone]

poe players are a different breed tbh

[remote sage]

I have noticed and i joined disc today

[arctic stone]

You were saying about this though

[bitter vine]

yea its the same for maps

the explicit mods have hidden quant/rarity

[plain fable]

justice can i buy a few t15s off of you

[bitter vine]

ya

gimme 1min

[plain fable]

does 4 at 2 each work?

[bitter vine]

ya

[plain fable]

no rush if ur busy

[frigid lantern]

yo any tips on how i should path my atlas?

[balmy topaz]

This is the one I use, balances pretty well for sustain

[frigid lantern]

havent completed tier5 quests yet, only up to tier 4s

[frigid lantern]

where should i head towards early?

[balmy topaz]

go bottom-right first imo

as much waystone quant & tier-higher as you can

[bitter vine]

+1 tier is good to grab too

just the travel nodes in the topside

[plain fable]

shrines gotta be the most useless thing in the game

[plucky harbor]

Anyone doing Trials Carry for 3rd points?

[errant lotus]

how do you unlock more areas on the atlas map?

[balmy topaz]

shrines are great once I spend 10 seconds trying to click it and finally manage to grab it

[plain fable]

LMAO, holy shit dont get me started on the hitbox for those

[balmy topaz]

idk what they did to them between poe 1 and 2, but man

[bitter vine]

i like this tree a lot

[plain fable]

isnt that one top right really good

[arctic stone]

im probably in the minority but i really try to avoid buying gear from players

[bitter vine]

the 25% more prefix/suffix?

[arctic stone]

I dont mind selling things for currency though

[bitter vine]

yea i been thinking of dropping

[frigid lantern]

seeing alot of familiarity here ngl is top path just mandatory

[bitter vine]

1 rare is duplicated for it

[fleet sapphire]

Does Omen of Resurgence work with CI?

[plain fable]

i was thinking of doing this

[sacred oar]

what is "The Realmgate" ?

[balmy topaz]

for pinnacle boss fights

[plain fable]

its where u teleport to pinnacles

What I wanna know is what this is

[balmy topaz]

for reliquary keys,
afaik not in-game yet

[bitter vine]

if its the same as reliquary in poe1

its just one random foil unique

[plain fable]

Oh its not even in the game?

[bitter vine]

oh my god headhunter is going down

[arctic stone]

What is a foil?

[bitter vine]

shiny

[balmy topaz]

shiny :)

[arctic stone]

Just a cosmetic thing?

[balmy topaz]

morale boost

[delicate girder]

we all have same atlas map?

i mean map device map

[balmy topaz]

nope, all different

[delicate girder]

holy

and they are endless?

[balmy topaz]

mine has decided to have infinite rivers and un-traversable mountains 😄

yes, endless

basically delve from poe1

[delicate girder]

idk poe1 only pd2

[errant lotus]

if your map disconnects you everytime you join, is there anyway to refund it?

[balmy topaz]

nah

[exotic quest]

WTF??? ARE THESE NOT WORTH 1 EX???
IM BEING SPAMMED FOR 5 MIN STRAIGHT BRAH

[delicate girder]

on what lvl u have

60?

[exotic quest]

Yeah is that why for ascendancy?

That makes a ton more sense

[frigid lantern]

Yep

[delicate girder]

for ascendacy are 60 and above so ur is easiest one

[exotic quest]

What are 60s worth?

[frigid lantern]

They are valuable ascendancy keys

How many trials?

[balmy topaz]

I think they're 1-2ex, just very commonly traded

[exotic quest]

3

[balmy topaz]

bump it up to 2

[frigid lantern]

3 trials ohhhh

[exotic quest]

Nah theyre worth 5 ex

What is 3 trials?

Whats that mean?

[delicate girder]

3rd ascendancy

[frigid lantern]

btw is it sensible to always use your highest tier waystone on a boss map instead of other 2 modifiers like breach, altar

it is for 3rd ascendancy

[delicate girder]

this is 4th

[exotic quest]

How come some have more than 3 tho?

[delicate girder]

u have 4x2 points

[past birch]

It depends what order you did it I believe

[frigid lantern]

It is 1 ex on the market rn

[past birch]

If you did chaos first you need a higher tier trial

[exotic quest]

Nah thats normal ones

[delicate girder]

his is 60ilvl

[balmy topaz]

I think as long as you're able to keep up with breach etc, they all end up somewhere around equal for waystone sustain?
I wouldn't sweat too much on being picky

[frigid lantern]

Oh wait you got the low one

Ahh yeah

[clear crag]

strongboxes suck in maps. you have to hunt mobs over the entire map and then run 15 mins back to the box

[bitter vine]

the mobs spawn all around the strongbox not all around the map

the mobs emerge from the dark fog

just the new packs wont emerge until you kill the old packs

they are very slow for pretty shit loot though, i skip them

[clear crag]

oh, I guess I didn't notice any difference in mob density >> mb

[balmy topaz]

I mean you weren't wrong, they still suck :p

[elder loom]

is there no gamba vendor in your HO?

[balmy topaz]

Not the normal gamble, just the expedition ones

[frigid lantern]

waystone sustain hasnt been a problem for me at all personally only problem for me is some maps oneshotting and some maps being a breeze to go through tbh

idk how to deal with that except wait for the hotfix patch

[balmy topaz]

pretty much, just stack as many defences as you can and pray

[arctic stone]

Trial for 3rd ascendency points, wish me luck

do you think its worth gambling with Alva at ziggorat refuge for early upgrades, or not really?

[balmy topaz]

nah

[remote sage]

nope

[elder loom]

alright cool, thanks

[plain fable]

I dont understand the mist, its moving moving moving, and then after a certain point it just stops moving and im not timed anymore?

[balmy topaz]

just kill stuff, it extends the timer, timer only appears when youre at <4 seconds

[plain fable]

i killed a ton of stuff but the mist just stops moving now

[remote sage]

What does quality do for wands?

[plain fable]

im standing on the edge and it stopped moving

[frigid lantern]

is there even a way to get skill points for the outer skill trees in atlas? did research, no info

[bitter vine]

pinnacle bosses

[balmy topaz]

Not just them, late tier map bosses too

[bitter vine]

delirium fog is dogshit and will sometimes just stop moving for so long thats its not worth to wait

[plain fable]

okay i had to check, it just feels suuuuper

buggy

[bitter vine]

they gotta revisit it for sure

feels a lot worse than in poe1

in poe1 you'd only outrun the mist if you were FAST

[plain fable]

maybe its cause i did the entirity of breach inside the fog and the game was like

[bitter vine]

now in poe2 i outrun the mist all the time

[plain fable]

hold up

[frigid lantern]

from the hexgate and such?

[plain fable]

Speaking of which ur supposed to run breach inside the mirror right?

[bitter vine]

ideally

[bitter vine]

ya, each mechanic has its own way to fight the pinnacle boss @ the realmgate

[wispy moss]

How it was in poe1

[balmy topaz]

If you kill certain map bosses at like t15, it will give you points per map too.
e.g getting a t15 crypt map boss kill will give you 2 points too

[plain fable]

Yeah i believe its t15 bosses

[frigid flame]

Is it possible to allocate jewel sockets with weapon set passive points?

[exotic gazelle]

so tier 2 waystones are only sold by doriyani once in whatever and droppable? no other way to get them?

[balmy topaz]

dropped in your maps
bought from doryani (restock on level-up)
reforge 3 tier-1's into 1t2
but from other players

[small mortar]

Why increasing projectile damage is reducing my skills damage? wtf

[exotic gazelle]

reforging is genius i forgot about that ty

[exotic quest]

Because your damage is predominantly element based

[bitter vine]

i dont trust those tooltips tbh

[balmy topaz]

Still shouldn't decrease it, honestly no idea

[exotic quest]

Same

[small mortar]

still projectile

[exotic quest]

The tooltips and DPS is wrong most the time

[small mortar]

but I actually felt my damage go down

[bitter vine]

also i can definitely understand why they're nerfing breach im ngl

as much as i love it

[balmy topaz]

no fun allowed

[plain fable]

Wait i just found a way to infinite sustain 200 demonflame

[remote sage]

that build looks fun

[bitter vine]

sweep sweep sweep

[plain fable]

52% life cut

[exotic quest]

3rd ascendancy who?

[balmy topaz]

thats 1st ascendancy

[clear crag]

i don't like that the end of a3 cruel kinda spoils what happens for end game to begin

[bitter vine]

ITS HAPPENING

[plain fable]

thats the first one

you have to do 2 more consecutive floorsets that get harder

[bitter vine]

ok they invited me and then dipped

[balmy topaz]

poe never changes 😄

[exotic quest]

Oml lol thats what I get for talking shit

[plain fable]

and i dont wanna be that person

[clear crag]

lol

[plain fable]

but with that dmg, gl on 3rd boss

[balmy topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/8ball-yoda-fortune-gif-23103593

but we believe in you!

[plain fable]

Yes ofc

easy clear

how hard is the trialmaster

compared to 4th floor sekhema

[bitter vine]

i paid for a carry fuck that shit

25ex for my 7th and 8th ascendancy points

nobrainer

[plain fable]

i just dunno whether to do chaos or sekhema

[bitter vine]

chaos probably

[bitter vine]

wait til the patch though

they're nerfing both

(making them easier)

[plain fable]

i aint no bish

If I die it will be to a bug

[bitter vine]

my bad i wasn't familiar with your game

[plain fable]

lord knows chaos trial has 500 bugs

90% of them revolving around depositing the soul cores

those mfers didnt think to not let the debuffs follow you while ur in animation, I died on like 6th floor last time I tried cause the reaver that 1 shots you if he hits you 7 times, was wailing on me as I was in animation for depositing the soul core

I was like bruh

[bitter vine]

if that map completed didnt show up

right as i died to an ondeath explode

i swear

[plain fable]

precious jeweller check

[bitter vine]

words were going to be said

[balmy topaz]

lmao, it should count

[bitter vine]

ye it did

[bitter vine]

alva says 99ex

[plain fable]

I meant as u died, if one was on the ground

[heavy rock]

recommendations on where to place atlas points? better to go for higher tier % or just more loot?

I'm just clearing t1

[balmy topaz]

scroll up a few pages here, couple decent trees posted earlier

#2┃after-acts-help message

[bitter vine]

why would you say words that are so hypothetically hurtful

[sacred oar]

is there no way back to ziggurat camp present cruel?

[balmy topaz]

Think there is if you go to another player who's there

[bitter bay]

i love that going into a new act makes me stronger

[compact meteor]

whats the difference between the map tiers and is it important enough to buy tier 2 instead of 1?

[ivory forge]

Monster level goes up 1 per tier

[balmy topaz]

also quest progression gets you atlas points

[ivory forge]

You're aiming to get to tier 15s by doing progressively harder ones

[plain fable]

[compact meteor]

hm so should i just keep trying to do harder ones till i fail?

[balmy topaz]

pretty much

[compact meteor]

okeydokey thankyou

[bitter vine]

this is who you're hurting

[plain fable]

i picked the 50% less aoe, i dont think it applied properly

[ebon pike]

how can i start farming breaches? like i cannot spec into breach nodes without doing them so how should i start?

[bitter vine]

breach is naturally on some nodes

[ivory forge]

Find map nodes with them or buy tablets

[fallen walrus]

guys does it mean that i need more freeze build up to freeze or less?

[bitter vine]

it makes you harder to freeze

[bitter bay]

woo, onto act 5. blitzing through

[ivory forge]

Means enemies have harder time freezing you

[fallen walrus]

ah freezing me ok, makes sense i tho it was to freeze enemies

[long frost]

guys help pls xd

i cant finish this map

who finds the entrance

[bitter bay]

i need to get good gems though

er, jewels

[bitter vine]

find the switches

[turbid kernel]

Look for a switch on a pillar

[bitter vine]

on the pillars

right next to those doors

[long frost]

ooooooooooo

found it

ty

[storm raven]

can someone price check this for me? there are no rings that have all of the mods with similar rolls, when i remove some mods the rings are like 100-200 ex

[ivory forge]

Price checks aren't done here sorry. But start high and lower it every day or so

[bitter bay]

at the very least, its pretty good, so you can start decently

[brazen palm]

guys i just beat the 10 run version of the temple of chaos, but i didnt get my final 2 ascension points, is this normal?

or do i need to do it 3 times

[strange valley]

did they really nerf endgame monsters damage?

bcz it feels they buffed it

[bitter vine]

patch isnt even out yet

[fallow thunder]

dont tihnk the patch is live yet

[strange valley]

i died today in lower tiers more than yesterday

[storm raven]

okay ty

[strange valley]

k

thx

[errant lotus]

does the tier map you use to unlock a hideout matter?

[bitter vine]

no

they have substantially less mobs

best to use a t1 or some trash tier u dont care abt

[bitter bay]

feels like towers and hideouts shouldnt require a map

[plain fable]

REmember when I said I was gonna die to a bug @bitter vine

[bitter vine]

was wondering why i just saw you go offline

[bitter bay]

F

[bitter vine]

when u said u were gonna be doing your trials of chaos

[plain fable]

Trials of Chaos is the biggest buggy mess ive ever dealt with in a game like this

[delicate girder]

are there other cool things on endgame map except burning monolith + hideouts?

[bitter bay]

its only v.1 so i suspect there will be

[balmy topaz]

citadels, pinnacle bosses

[willow badger]

where did my waystones go???

[balmy topaz]

lmao

[delicate girder]

inside map device when u try to open map

they should be there

[willow badger]

thanks

[bitter bay]

is it me or; is act 3 long as hell and are the mobs in the vaal area in the past tanky as fuck

[bitter vine]

into map device

press x on the node you have clicked

to stop them going into there

[errant lotus]

whats the average amount of hp for mapping? i can do t5's fine but when im trying a t1 hideout i get 1 shot immediately
