[nimble musk]

i'm not sure if i'm supposed to touch them

[mint pivot]

Yes you should

more monsters killed = more rewards meter filled

[nimble musk]

i see :O

[mint pivot]

Go ahead and run them, the only reason to save them is if you want to buff them up with the nearby towers first.

Then you can path through the "bad" nodes to reach the tower and leave only the good ones to get hit by the buffs.

[olive barn]

is there any way to freeze and shock enemies at the same time with the same skill

[mint pivot]

Because you can stack the effects of 3, 4, or 5 tablets onto one grouping of maps for a lot of extra loot and such.

So when you find a good overlap you want it to land on the good maps

[gilded wadi]

The map is infinite, so you will always be able to find good maps. Optimize your time - try to avoid running low value maps (ones without special mechanics like Breach or Bosses)

The only reason to run a blank map would be to get to a different map or because you are dying too much at a given tier and need an easier map

[mint pivot]

You just want to path to towers, slap the tablets you want in and run the maps they hit.

It's also recommended if you care about fighting the endgame pinnacle boss you focus on one direction because the citadels you need to fight him (without buying the keys via trade ofc,) appear more often further away from the starting point.

[molten sparrow]

WTF is MF (magic find) i keep hearing about how are ppl utilizing it?

[mint pivot]

Increased item rarity, a stat on gear

[gilded wadi]

"Increased Rarity of Items Found". Stack it on your gear and your drops get way better

[mint pivot]

People are utilizing anywhere ranging from a couple affixes for more loot to group play MFing with someone dedicated to having as much rarity as possible to juice the loot.

[west dawn]

is it possible for maps to be completely filled up and no longer generating new nodes?

[gilded wadi]

It's just called magic find because that is what Diablo called it and that name has stuck around the in this genre

[molten sparrow]

ohhh i see , is there a rune that increased rarity?

[mint pivot]

Yes

[molten sparrow]

what is it called

[torpid wave]

enemy poison damage is chaos damage right?

[molten sparrow]

ahh i see i was wondering why it’s called like that

[gilded wadi]

In PoE2, you might see it called IIR - increased item rarity

PoE1 also had a separate stat called IIQ - increased item quantity

[placid hill]

when im buying a weapon is the only thing i should look at the dps?

[mint pivot]

Poison is always chaos damage, yes

[gilded wadi]

It's the main thing, but you may want leech, crit, and +skills just to name a few things

[mint pivot]

For a weapon you will be using with an attack skill... More or less, yes. Skill levels can be decent as well.

[placid hill]

so even if it has more dps its might not always be better

[torpid wave]

trying to do third ascendency boss, my build really sucks at dealing with bosses with small window for damage

got poisoned to death

[wise quest]

What’s the point of showing uncapped res if it isn’t actually going higher

[mint pivot]

if you will run out of mana without a mana affix then you will do less dps because of that, so yes

[mint pivot]

So you know how much you can lose and stay capped

[wise quest]

Gotcha

[mint pivot]

there's also the elemental weakness curse that reduces all your res by 15

[wise quest]

oh ok

So it doesn’t hurt to be over a bit

[nimble musk]

another question, do you tend to regal a map, or save that purely for just crafting?

[mint pivot]

Yeah technically you want all your elemental resists to be your cap +15 if you're really minmaxing.

[gilded wadi]

not vey low tier maps, but by the time I am doing about T6+, yes

[wise quest]

I regal my waystones yeah but I’m not much into gamba on items

[gilded wadi]

For about T13+, I'll alch, exalt, and vaal the maps

[earnest linden]

Anyone Know you can overwrite and anointment on an amulet?

[gilded wadi]

yes you can

[mint pivot]

So long as it isn't corrupted

[fringe basin]

I've noticed that for some atlas nodes, if I die I can try it again with a new waystone. For other nodes it's marked as Failed. Any idea what's the rule here?

[olive barn]

bro theres so many bots in this game

[twilit holly]

whats a good dps amount for an endgame quarterstaff? mine is a little over 500 dps im lvl 68

[olive barn]

i listed this item cheap (3 divs) and i got 100 invites within a minute and they were spamming my chat too

[gilded wadi]

It doesn't need to be bots. There is live search that many people use to try and find good deals

[olive barn]

oh i saw that option never tried it

[mint pivot]

that's just what happens when you list a highly sought after item for cheap

[gilded wadi]

With that you get notifed as soon as an item matching you criteria goes up

[olive barn]

thats pretty neat

[gilded wadi]

Take it as an easy price check. If you get spammed, you know you listed it too cheap lol

[mint pivot]

If you can't hear yourself think when you list an item it's pretty safe to bump it up and see if it happens again lol

[olive barn]

yea ngl i looked at the item

and it looks ass

wouldnt have guessed lol

and its missing a socket too

[mint pivot]

It's incredible

[olive barn]

i wonder, is the lightning damage part valuable?

[mint pivot]

The corrupt on it is desireable too

[olive barn]

or is it only the attack speed that matters

[mint pivot]

4% attack speed instead of 3

both are good

[gilded wadi]

Look up an attribute stacker build. They are insane and they often use that item

[olive barn]

ok so the lightning dmg is insignificant

[mint pivot]

No it's significant

both attribute bonuses are good from the item

[olive barn]

so im looking at around 30 divs

[astral light]

can someone help me with my build, i cant seem to reach close to 100k spark. im at 60k+
also i cant chat in the sorceress guide

[elfin girder]

How do Ascendancy carries work? I wanted to bring a friend through the Sehkmas trial. I had him put in the token, but that meant I didn't have any of my relics. Is there a better way to do that?

[olive barn]

did he put in some relics?

[elfin girder]

Yes. For me it didn't show that I had any bonuses

He did, I didn't

[olive barn]

im not 100% sure about this, but i think it should apply to the whole party

[elfin girder]

Can I run most of it, and add him later? Or does he need to be in for the entire trial?

[olive barn]

he doesnt need to be in the entire trial

thats how ppl sell carries

they just get to the boss and then add ppl in

[elfin girder]

So I can just add him in right at the end? Does he need to click the altar or anything to start the trial? Or can he just get the points whether he initiated or not?

[gilded wadi]

I think they would have to join in the room right before the boss room

And he does not need to initiate it

[fringe basin]

any ideas? A bug?

[elfin girder]

Ah interesting.. alright. Well, Ill experiment and try it\

[mint pivot]

You should always be able to try again, everything will just be stripped off the map

[gilded wadi]

Was the one that failed special in some way? I know citadels are one try only and so are unique maps

[green fog]

guys I'm ranger dead eye Level 80 1500 hp 14k evasion with 90%, resistances all 75% except chaos 27% and mobs often one-shot me on tier 10 maps how to survive? is it evasion mechanic so weak or I'm doing something wrong?

[gilded wadi]

Well there are a lot of sources of chaos damage so your low chaos res can be a problem. Regarding evasion, it doesn't help you if a hit gets through and some things can't be evaded.

[green fog]

I know, I tried acrobatics so I can also evade AOE hits but also did not help much and it also reduces evasion by 70%

[mint pivot]

1500 hp is quite low with no energy shield buffer as well

[gilded wadi]

It seems like the only way to be tanky right now is to get energy shield

[mint pivot]

Evasion is good, but it doesn't stand on its own, it needs a hitpool behind it for when you get unlucky

[olive hinge]

is there any build with wands that uses physical spells?

[gilded wadi]

I think some of the occult spells do physical damage (bonestorm)

[mint pivot]

I've seen some success with the bone spells but I haven't played around with them myself so I can't tell you much further than that

[olive hinge]

just asking because I found a +4 levels to phys spells wand so if I should just dismantle it or give it to someone

[glossy galleon]

keep dying in t15 maps, is there a way i can share my character so I can get help on gearing? There's numerical upgrades I could get but those are only like +120 life in total or slightly more evasion, which are minor upgrades that still cost divs, wondering if there's a better way to get more defenses like that

[heady flax]

Are distilled mats not random drops? I keep getting the same 3

[mint pivot]

Well if gear is too expensive the only way is skill tree. Screenshot your character sheet and your skill tree and we can look at it.

[late pivot]

what is best base type to use chance orbs on?

[remote pelican]

can you not chance orb utility belt for the fancy ring-unique belt?

[olive hinge]

I was personally doing it on heavy belts and stelar amulets probably not a good idea though

[gilded wadi]

I don't think so. I don't think you can chance boss-only uniques

[fathom fable]

anyone know how to get over the 75% honour resis cap?

[wild kettle]

if I did 3rd ascendancy with sekhema, can I also do 4th there?

[gilded wadi]

yes

[wild kettle]

nice

[mint pivot]

You cannot chance boss-specific loot.

[late pivot]

so whats the best base type? how do they even work? if I wanted the +1 Limit ammy as ssf totems, what amulets do I use it on?

[mint pivot]

I'd say you can do emerald rings (death rush/thief's torment), sapphire rings (Dream fragments) Stellar amulets (astramentis) or heavy belts (headhunter)

[late pivot]

does anyone else have performance like this in game?

[mint pivot]

The unique you're talking about is a crimson amulet, so you would have to chance normal tier crimson amulets to try for it

[eternal plume]

WTB fast lvling service lvl 75 to lvl 78 , send me you're price 🙂 thank you

[glossy galleon]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/5f15g401
Here you go, tree was too big to properly screenshot so i made it on a planner instead.
In case others need context, I keep dying in T15s, it's extremely frustrating because the only upgrades I can see are just getting higher life/armour/evade rolls on my gear and capping chaos res, but with how much damage I'm taking in each map, I don't think an extra hundred or so life would actually solve my problem

[fringe basin]

yes, it was the untainted paradise

[summer lake]

hello guys, i need an uncut skill gem lvl 11, You know where i can buy one?

[gilded wadi]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw-uD-vz_5s I think this video will explain the problem I think you are running into

[fringe basin]

that's good to know! If that's the case then I don't understand the uproar about atlas blocking, etc.

[mint pivot]

I assume you have no open sockets on your gear?

[glossy galleon]

if you actually looked at the images before posting you'd have noticed that I am using a Cloak of Flame

[glossy galleon]

no, but if I did, what would you recommend?

[mint pivot]

Chaos res, lol

[wise quest]

Can you Vaal an extra charm slot on your belt?

[gilded wadi]

That doesn't make everything okay... your evasion is low and the armor is nearly useless (better with CoF, but not good)

[mint pivot]

Is there anything in particular you find yourself dying to? Map mods/monster type wise

[wise quest]

Add me same user

[strange nova]

What's a good way to stock up on spirit after the acts? Can other pieces of armor except for the chestplate have spirit?

[gilded wadi]

amulet

[glossy galleon]

mostly monsters that throw out some aoe, like the grenade spamming mobs, or getting frozen/stunned and being unable to roll out of aoes. Not sure if it's just me or not but I noticed that mobs that explode on death or spam aoe attacks are a lot more common in T15s compared to T14s and below.

other than that, its usually some boss oneshotting me

[strange nova]

Damn i never rolled spirit on amulets, my luck is horrible, thanks

[crisp acorn]

Hey yall, I need help! Im in EndGame and I used a town portal and it took me to Ziggurat, BUT there is no waypoint to get me back!

[glossy galleon]

so how do you recommend progressing, without switching to ES? I can't get high evasion because my chest piece is using a Cloak of Flame

[gilded wadi]

Bosses are going to one-shot you unless you build heavily into ES

Sadly I don't have a recommendation other than switching to ES and that is all the guidance I have read for people having problems as armor/evasion

[glossy galleon]

i say that, but i die to some sort of aoe that i either cant see or get stunned/frozen and cant dodge roll out of all those corpse explosions in every other map, so its not really a "usually" thing

[ripe remnant]

at what level diff between you and monsterlvl will you start getting xp penalty?

[frigid lantern]

anyone wanan carry me thru all 3 acts? pls

[mint pivot]

Ok, so first off I'm no expert on merc or the build your playing so take this with a grain of salt, but you are doing a LOT of travelling, like a LOT. Both to the right and left side of the tree. Are all these nodes core to your build? How's your damage?

[warm root]

Hi guys! Can anyone help me with the 4th ascend please?

[crisp acorn]

Please someone help me out. I cannot get back to the Endgame or anywhere. The waypoint is GONE.

[gilded wadi]

act 3 cruel, bottom middle, ziggurat refuge?

[gilded wadi]

You realize that would be multiple hours, right?

[glossy galleon]

damage is pretty low, tbh

i think the herald nodes are pretty good and worth the rightward travelling

[mint pivot]

what's the goal with your weapon sets?

[crisp acorn]

Yea, I went back in there and now there is no waypoint to leave and get back to Endgame or anything

[limber fox]

anyone knows if there is a regex to search for if an items have exactly 1 prefix/suffix?

[frigid lantern]

no?

[crisp acorn]

I even tried accessing it via map. Nothing.

[mint pivot]

the herald nodes are insane, but that is still a lot of travel

[glossy galleon]

bow on weapon swap for stormcaller arrows to apply shock, so that shockburst does damage

[gilded wadi]

To carry you through all the acts, someone would have to move through all of the maps. Yes they would have WP's, but with the maps being so large it will still take a long time

[glossy galleon]

i could completely drop the left side, and grab the 15% more maximum lightning damage node + the 8+4+4% of damage taken as mana to be slightly tankier, but then I'll need to solve accuracy with my gear

[frigid lantern]

there is always a cutie helping

[mint pivot]

Ok, makes sense to me. So in that case I don't think you need the left side.

If it's not too much gold could you spec out of RT and see where that puts your accuracy?

[cosmic zodiac]

what level does the chaos thing need to be for the fragments?

[glossy galleon]

alright gimme a sec though, I'm in a map, had to tier down to t13s to be comfortable

[crisp acorn]

That sucked. Had to reset. Be careful w where you use a town portal in Endgame, there is a bug that fks things up.

[gilded wadi]

@glossy galleon I have a lvl 92 merc where I went armor/evasion as well. I did not spec into the left side like you did and took more armor/EV. I have around 65-70% evasion and I think 25% armor. The only way I could survive was to kill everything before it got to me but that didn't help with bosses. Spent a lot of time asking for others input and all I was told was to switch to ES, so I quit the character. I hope you can solve your problem without switching to ES, but idk how.

[glossy galleon]

I usually play at a range because exploding corpses so i'll definitely be a lot further than 2m away

[gilded wadi]

I did have sorcery ward from Witchunter giving me an extra 4k elemental shield and that didn't seem to help much. Maybe gemling has better options

[distant knoll]

there is no quest at Doryani, whats his problem?

[glossy galleon]

no, WH is the better ascendency for crossbows, explode, cull, devastating strike, are all very good for clearing with galvanic shards

[gilded wadi]

Yeah the clear was great

Only problem was boss survivability

[glossy galleon]

and armour stacking with iron reflexes with sorcery ward and cloak

actually lets you tank quite well

gemling doesnt have sorcery ward

so it doesnt work out

my biggest regret was ascending as gemling

[gilded wadi]

"armour stacking with iron reflexes with sorcery ward and cloak" - no that did not work well for me

[glossy galleon]

but it is what it is and i don't want to reroll

[silk schooner]

on expedition logbooks, do the remnant mods used affect the boss fight ?

[glossy galleon]

the only defense gemling gets is the doubled inherent bonus (not very useful if not stacking stats) and about 3-5% more max res for each resist

[candid venture]

What should I be socketing into my xbow? Only just got to maps, so not put so much thought into it yet. Explosive Shot build, if it matters.

[glossy galleon]

i could technically go full dex + evasion gear and still benefit from all my gems because I'm a gemling, but then I lose all my life bonuses from str which doesnt sound like a good idea

[gilded wadi]

iron runes (phys dmg) are always good

[mint pivot]

I will say cloak is kinda mediocre with this setup, all you have is a little extra fire res from gemling and nothing else

[glossy galleon]

its still better than armour

unless you recommend full evasion?

because i don't really want to go ES

[noble wigeon]

is this considered T18?

[mint pivot]

Vs bosses you can stay relatively close, so your accuracy will be ok, you could consider one wheel just for mapping comfort, I'd probably advise it.

[gilded wadi]

yes

[mint pivot]

To be fully honest with you hybrid ES/eva is probably best, CI is a bit too far .

[placid hill]

does %increase to "defences" increase evasion?

[noble wigeon]

would it be prudent to do it solor or find a good party?

[cerulean jasper]

Yes

[fresh grove]

how do you get the last two points in boss nodes (8/10)? I tried irradiated+corrupted+t16 and that wasn't enough

[placid hill]

oh wow ty

[gilded wadi]

As long as you can do it solo, I don't know of a particular reason to use a party

[noble wigeon]

isn't the loot better?

[gilded wadi]

If you get stacked MF party, probably, but that applies to every map

[noble wigeon]

Good point, thanks, I'll run it solo

[gilded wadi]

For the last two points you need to beat the pinnacle boss (Citadel of Flame quest)

[mint pivot]

But that would require new gear, obviously. I think the easiest tankiness boost you could get is to get more chaos resist, drop the support gem dupe and go for the STR bonus gemling node, trying to juice that up a bit (which again requires gear with strength affixes.)

[fresh grove]

ah, I see, thanks!

[mint pivot]

Issue is you said your damage is mediocre, so to invest in more defense in the tree you would need a better weapon :/

[glossy galleon]

yea i was thinking about that too, i'm looking into dropping the left side now and grabbing the mana nodes, need to check how much damage i'd lose by dropping the double support nodes too

[quick leaf]

so for the maps am i better of staying with the current tier i should be completing ie i need to do 8 t6 and up and best to only run t6 or should i just run whatever i have?

[gilded wadi]

You may want to consider the rare/unique dmg cluster next to the crossbow cluster

[wild summit]

anyone know if failed Iron citadel, how do i repeat to do the map again?

[gilded wadi]

find a new citadel

[pale swallow]

why cant I reforge them?
its the same item

[wild summit]

omg...that stupid genor, got me with the DOT and he died and so do my charater..ffs..

[frigid lantern]

how do i see my accuracy?

[mint pivot]

That's basically all I have to say since I don't know your build well enough to suggest damage scaling methods

[glossy galleon]

i respecced, if it doesnt work i'll just farm t13s until i have gold to un-respec, but for now i lost 5% damage and have to rely on accuracy, but in exchange i have the mana nodes

[proven gate]

what damage type is that explosion after mob die? I have died a couple times to it, even having high life and res caped + chaos imune

[mint pivot]

Which mob?

[tall lantern]

looking to upgrade my quiver, current has about 55 flat damage added (affected by bonus from passive)

Would replacing that with a flat damage of 25 but 43% damage with bow skills be better?

[proven gate]

in general

[mint pivot]

usually fire or phys

[quartz crescent]

any ideas how to get rid of this item ?

[grand tiger]

how do I make a breach stone?

[mint pivot]

Speak to Oswald

[grand tiger]

I got 300 splinters

[gilded wadi]

Split the stack, restack to 300

[grand tiger]

x)

[quartz crescent]

doesnt do anything

for the record

im level 91, and did this mission a long time ago

[jolly lodge]

What means T1-7 in weapons/armor when alting?

[quartz crescent]

this shit dropped again and i picked it up helping someone else

[mint pivot]

Have you tried in cruel and normal?

[pale swallow]

why no reforge?

[weary tendon]

was exploring the vault and saw this inaccessible area, is there any secret in this dungeon?

[quartz crescent]

how do i get to him in cruel ?

[mint pivot]

The same way as in normal, wdym?

the ziggurat encampment should still be there

[quartz crescent]

when i tp to zigguard, its to the end game place with the portals

[quartz crescent]

when i do it puts me on the top of the pyramid

[gilded wadi]

Its the tier of that affix. A T1 roll for maximum life may only give you 10 life, but a T11 roll would give you over 100

[jolly lodge]

So highter/better

[gilded wadi]

yes

[jolly lodge]

Thanks thats all what i wanted to know

[fleet vessel]

(This is personal preference, but you can actually disable the background in the map overlay, making the map much clearer - could be useful)

To answer your question - it's likely just bad generation, happens quite often.

[mint pivot]

let me check

[quartz crescent]

portal is closed

[weary tendon]

uh good to know i was hoping for such setting, ok good to know there is nothing

[mint pivot]

Can you not drop it on the ground? You can't destroy it, but dropping it in a map or something?

[quartz crescent]

sadly not

actually

[quartz crescent]

dropping into an atlas map workd

nice one homie

[mint pivot]

I can't believe you played with that big ol thing to level 90 😭

the anti-rucksack

[cursive kraken]

as a Stromweaver with MOM and EB, what are people Shield and Mana at? no Whales, just casual player

[hearty kettle]

can you equip more than one jewel with a radius?

[outer cairn]

So I didn't get one thing... market everything is priced at 1+ divine... and Im doing t12 and never seen a divine... what am i missing?

[wise quest]

Is there a max mana regen rate?

[gilded wadi]

Switch the trade to explicitly use exalts. The trade site considers 1 divine to be equal to like 7 ex which is wrong

[outer cairn]

How do u do that?

[proper hazel]

gotta get lucky or just trade exalts for divines.... at T13-15 exalts are fairly common from rares/bosses

[gilded wadi]

"Buyout Price", click "Relative"

[gilded wadi]

As far as what you may be missing - "Increased Rarity of Items Found" is currently extremely important. Get some of that on your gear and your drops will get a lot better

[marble barn]

how many exalts are you guys usually getting per +15?

[coarse flower]

how do you get from nothing diamonds?

[heady flax]

I respected a node from Dex to Str..my dex was at 144 and now its at 125 the same as my str...i have a skill that requires 133 dex that says it still works...wtf???

[wise quest]

Like 2 maybe

[forest lark]

What does this do?

[heady flax]

nm i zoned and it fixed itself

[cursive kraken]

holy sht i been buying some stuff at 1 divine for my gear when i could had checked for exalted fck me

[ripe remnant]

what does that mean? all damage in the whole map vs everyone? or all of your team? or is it just ontop of "total" dmg?

(global isnt underlined so i cant ALT or click it)

[forest lark]

For eveyone in PoE2 😄

[ripe remnant]

everyone take this item now!!!!!! 😹

[mint pivot]

It just means all phys damage, from spells, from attacks, from DoTs. It scales Corrupting Blood for example which has very limited scalars

[gilded wadi]

For your character specifically, not anything else

[mint pivot]

Yes, that you deal lol

[ripe remnant]

is that in the same pool as other "increased" or a separate pool that is multiplied the rest?

[mint pivot]

It's increased not more

[ripe remnant]

thx ❤️

[faint swan]

I need some advice, what would you guys put on a twink ranger with widows hail with 3 rune slots should it just be something simple like mana regen?

[sleek jay]

am I missing an NPC for the hideout? doesn't seem like any do gambling

[faint swan]

wait nvm you cant do that theres no mana regen for bows

[ripe remnant]

imo, mana regen is best until endgame for almost all chars, just spam your way through trash mobs ❤️

[mint pivot]

No, you have to go to the ziggurat refuge to gamble on Alva, unfortunately

[ripe remnant]

oh you meant for weapon, idk, but its great for armor

[gilded wadi]

Flat damage for early twink weapon I think

[golden robin]

what in game channel does carrys for ascendensies?

[gilded wadi]

trade

[golden robin]

theres a specific global channel isnt there

[fresh junco]

why can i never get enough tribute points to get audience of the king from rituals i always pull as many minions and that into the aoe kill them and then do the ritual am i missing something? also when i defer it never comes again at the next ritual only the one after that but still never have enough points

[gilded wadi]

haven't heard of that, but I see people spamming their carriers in trade constantly

[grand tiger]

So if I kill the breach boss after having 2 points spend into +2 twisted domain difficulty , do I get another 4 points?

[mint pivot]

Yes, every small node in the trees makes the fight more difficutl and if you kill the boss with those nodes you will get 2 more skill points

[grand tiger]

what if I punt the 2 points I got into difficulty so +2, does that mean +4 skill points?

[mint pivot]

Not sure, not sure if you can even do that

[errant torrent]

Is there a way to get more ultimatums? I have only gotten two since hitting maps, but have had between 5-10 sekhema's

[grand tiger]

You can... instead of going higher in the tree you just take +2 difficulty

[gaunt sun]

How come I can’t put tablet in a tower? Do I have to beat the tower first?

[mint pivot]

well then idk if that will net you 4 skill points

[grand tiger]

would save me 1div

[gilded wadi]

Buy them or spec your atlas tree into Local Knowledge and do the right maps

[errant torrent]

Where can you buy them?

[gilded wadi]

From other players

[errant torrent]

Oh, ty

[wide fossil]

to make trials easier what kind of relics do I need?

trap destroy me

[mint pivot]

Honor resistance and max honor

[wide fossil]

thank you a bunch

[mint pivot]

if you are a life based build max honor/max life are effectively the same thing

[cerulean jasper]

Biggest thing is choosing a smart route, dont pick room types you struggle with and venerating shrines+merchant usage

Getting near doubled dmg from just boon is pretty big

[marble barn]

loot is so bustedly bad in its current state, 0 exalts btw

[hushed jetty]

How much base resistence should I have by the end of act 3 cruel, assuming i picked up all the perma buffs?

My infernalist/stormweave have different negative values and I'm trying to figure out why

[tall lantern]

would this volant quiver be a meaningful upgrade to my current broadhead quiver?

[gilded wadi]

Whaaaaat... loot is insane... they need to tone it down drastically in late maps

[mint pivot]

I have rares semi-regularly dropping 3 exalts at once and I'm like 50% IIR

[heady flax]

is determining the +20% quality as simple as just adding 20% to the armor and evasion stat? i dont want to waste mats to test it

[scenic agate]

question please, is honour resists capped at 75 like regular resists?

[mint pivot]

YEs it is

[scenic agate]

thankyou, thats how I thought it would be, but always best to ask I think 🙂

[mint pivot]

I believe you should be able to click on honor resist and it will tell you

[scenic agate]

oh didn't know, will check it

[marble barn]

I've been running +15s for about 20-30 hours now and only found 1 divine

plus every single piece of decent gear is 1-2 divs min

so I'm either doing something wrong or I'm hella unlucky

[gilded wadi]

This is not true. The trade site is wrong. If you change the currency to exalts, you can see many great items far cheaper than 1 div

[scenic agate]

no divines yet, but I'm only doing 10s atm

prices jsut seem to jump on trade from 5ex to 1d, there's no middle ground

[gilded wadi]

That's because the trade site is treating 1div as equivalent to something like 7ex

So it orders them that way

[blissful seal]

hi guys now im kinda lost with mapping, other than looking for citadel, what more can i do? how to fight those uber epic boss, i dont mind if i need to buy some map or wat to go thru it

[marble barn]

1 div or 70 exalts, same thing

[deft pulsar]

how to see your total amount of talent points?

[gilded wadi]

No, that's not what I am saying

If there is an item that is 15ex, it will currently show up AFTER all 1div items

If you switch the site to only show items priced in exalts, you will skip over the 1div items

[lost nymph]

is test of time start like all the other floors where you do a bunch of trials before you get to the boss?

[marble barn]

I am aware I do searches both for divs and exalts

[pulsar rivet]

why cant i cross over this mountain.. lol

[mint pivot]

You can buy the keys for the bosses, but they are not cheap. Otherwise you will get to fight them by simply doing their respective mechanics and engaging with the things that results in

[gilded wadi]

You can gear characters for comfortable T15s without spending divs

[mint pivot]

Yes it's a full floor

[lost nymph]

ty

[scenic agate]

still only found 1 greater jewelry orb so far 😦

[safe flame]

does ANYONE has a good general guide on writing your own lootfilter, or adding to an existing lootfilter?

like im using neversink but i wanna hide specific items and emphasize certain base and magic items

[undone rock]

Why can't I place The Hooded One in my Hideout even if I remove Doryani?

[ebon hearth]

does increased energy shield% on amulet increase ES globally or does it need maximum energy shield roll as well in order to work?

[gilded wadi]

globally

[mint pivot]

DM me with what specifically you're wanting to highlight/hide I can help out.

[midnight ivy]

Guys how to you change your hideout? Not customise it, actually change the hideout itself, any help?

[wide fossil]

talk to ala

alva

[winter obsidian]

Hey. Does a golden charm work on the triggering rare/unique monster as well? So that monster that triggers the charm is already dropping better loot or only other monsters Im klling after?

[sturdy thorn]

Item Class: Sceptres
Rarity: Rare
Sol Spell
Rattling Sceptre

Requirements:
Level: 78
Str: 35 (augmented)
Int: 89 (augmented)

---

35% reduced Attribute Requirements

my question is does the attribute requirements only count for putting the weapon on and not using the spell?

[safe flame]

DM'ed you

[distant surge]

Do tier 15's give substiantly more as say tier 10's?

[wise quest]

Anyone know the strongest mana flask besides the unique? Highest I’ve seen is like 580 mana regained

[shrewd basalt]

Why i cant influence any of those towers? I have them all compleated

[wise quest]

Yep. T13+ sees a pretty noticeable boost in loot

[distant surge]

so do i run t13's?

or really try for 14+

[wise quest]

I run em all u don’t wanna burn through all your waystones

[distant surge]

ok im just gonna buy a bunch of 13's

[wise quest]

or a juiced 12 is like the lowest I’ll go

[distant surge]

nice ty

[tall lantern]

if you co-op breach, are splinters and catalysts shared loot or individual?

[oak maple]

Any idea how complete this map with f.... bugged Rare ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqjeXGT-yyM

[winter obsidian]

I guess the strongest is something like this, jsut with 20% quality and 70% increased. I just found this and Im fine with it

[runic wolf]

Is there a way to see the summary/total of your assigned node in atlas skills?

[wise quest]

Considering dropping an x on something like this I CBA to get it myself

[potent lodge]

so i just killed a boss on a monster level 80 waystone... and i didnt get 2 atlas passive points? is it bugged? ive gotten 4/10 but it wont give me any more after killing 2 bosses on level 80 maps

[shrewd basalt]

Why i cannot influence towers i already cleared?

[prisma jolt]

what breachstone nodes are good? I'm tempted to take crumbling walls, but frantic invasion also seems good

if I get +2 to twisted domain difficulty now do I get points for both the second and third difficulty?

[hexed kelp]

is there pinnacle boss drop pool?

[olive forge]

I'm doing tier 3-4 maps and I have three rare tier 1 waystones...better to use those three or just reforge them into a tier 2 rare?

[hexed kelp]

doesnt matter

[olive forge]

okay thanks, kinda thought that too

[full rover]

is there no way to get out of the boss area in Vaal Foundry after killing the boss to clear the rest of the map? (the map version of Molten Vault)

[potent lodge]

No one have any input on this?

[gilded wadi]

Needs to be a level 81 zone. So that would be a T16 that is either irradiated or corrupted

[hexed kelp]

leave to character selection than go again into the map if no portal yet

[potent lodge]

o well why does it say level 79+? bugged tooltip?

[gilded wadi]

Read the next line

[hexed kelp]

it 79 80 81 82 for passives

[potent lodge]

interesting

[tall lantern]

if you co-op breach, are splinters and catalysts shared loot or individual?

[gilded wadi]

After your next points, it will need a T16 map that is irradiated AND corrupted

[potent lodge]

damn, corrupted 8 t15 maps and only 1 went t16... gonna be a rough time

[hexed kelp]

shared

[tall lantern]

eish. i'd hope the splinters were at least for both players

[full rover]

yea this worked thanks, was i just screwed if i had replaced the portal down there in the boss room i guess?

[hexed kelp]

ye

[hexed kelp]

there is no personal loot in game

only quest items

[full rover]

is it like that on any map where you have to move into an "arena" to fight the boss?

[hexed kelp]

i think its the only boss

[onyx silo]

Is it better to clear a map BEFORE doing Breach or to clear it WITH Breach opened?

[rich inlet]

hey ive killed every mob in unique map and its not completed, any solutions?

[hexed kelp]

faster if u dont clear easier if u do

[scenic agate]

I typically try to clear the map and get the beaten before doing a mechanic

but I'm still dying and working progression through tiers

[haughty heath]

Is there somewhere that shows all the relic modifiers you can roll?

https://poe2db.tw/us/Tapestry_Relic

(Not just Tapestry, but in general)

[onyx silo]

I'm infernalist arsonist army, I'm not a zoom-zoom build, maybe I should clear first then Breach

[tall lantern]

i generally clear a small area around the breach:

1: so i can see the most open route
2: cause scared

[onyx silo]

haha, love reason number 2

I'm not in danger tbh

even in 16+2 maps

[dim coyote]

Does this shield's debuff actually work? When I block, I don't see any debuffs appearing on the enemies. Do I need to use Raise Shield for it to work?

[onyx silo]

but I have the feeling that "normal mobs" slow my pets in the breach rush

[tall lantern]

I'm on ranger so my 2.2k health pool makes me so nervous lol

[hexed kelp]

2.2 is enough

[tall lantern]

until you get 1 shot lol

mostly cant kill me if you're dead vibes, but sometimes that hit gets through and it tickets

[hexed kelp]

im playing 2.2k deadeye

and im never diyng to oneshots

only to small mobs breaking my tailwind

[tall lantern]

yeah its pretty standard, 2.4k deadeye is pushing it

[full rover]

am i supposed to be putting 6 mods on all my t15 maps?

[tall lantern]

we really do need a small passive cluster that boosts our health just a little

[vivid parrot]

for the purpose of runes, is focus treated as a weapon or an armor?

[hexed kelp]

no it would ruin the skill tree like in poe 1

[placid river]

Yes and vaaling

[tall lantern]

doesnt need to be the whole tree, just 1 cluster. there are other hp nodes on the tree, just very far away from ranger

[full rover]

i tried to vaal one aerlier and it made it a t14 map, i assume it also has a chance to delete the map? you still max them out and vaal them all anyway?

[placid river]

Yup, try to get it to roll t16

[hexed kelp]

the exact reason why poe 2 is so much better for newbies is that u cant ruin ur survivability like in poe 1

[placid river]

Challenge accepted

[tall lantern]

don't get me wrong, i like the tree a lot, but i do think ranger is a special case that does need some help. evasion is great but you are at such high risk of dying before you can use a flask

[hexed kelp]

ranger need a tailwind that falls of in 2 hits not 1

[tall lantern]

i like that

[near robin]

If i see % increased armor on an amulet, does that increase my global armor? because i dont see an armor value on the amulet itself...

[hexed kelp]

or make it that only savage hits drop ur tailwind

[hexed kelp]

global

[near robin]

Great tyvm

[hexed kelp]

i never die with 10 stacks of tailwind

i only die if a white mob hits me for 12 dmg and then rare hits after him

[tall lantern]

yeah, its especially deadly in the tight spaces of ritual if you get stuck on something

[hexed kelp]

the ritual tornados

need to be removed

or become dot

[tall lantern]

those dont bother me too much, but sometimes you cant roll and get pinned down

but ja those tornados are dumb

[tardy flare]

did anyone do sekhema floor 4?

[hexed kelp]

tornados hit u and remove ur tailwind stacks

[tardy flare]

are the white things like tp circles?

[dark oracle]

is there a way to get good exp after 92? I'm down to a few percent per map

[tardy flare]

because it crashes my game

[hexed kelp]

yes

[tardy flare]

okay i need to try to transform out of demon form

because

happened twice

[ionic sedge]

I had people talking about a discord where you can bulk trade items and such? Where can I find that?

[ocean cobalt]

guys where can i sell this
https://i.imgur.com/w4mQRJa.png

or check the price

[bright lark]

do people sell +xp maps? like if the place has +xp%

[plain raven]

Doryani is chilling in my HO, why|| is he sending me on a quest to kill him in the citadel? I don't understand this timeline at all||?

[potent lodge]

jesus.... divines cost more and more exalt every single day. this is crazy

[wide fossil]

.... scorpion is bugged what do I do?

I can't reach him

[plain raven]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/lightning-arrow-farmer-fubgun?weaponSet=set1

[potent lodge]

what is the best class for magic find build? like #1 by a long shot? i am level 90 witch and have only gotten 1 divine in 147 hours of playing....

i feel like ive wasted my time cause i cant afford anything

[blissful mauve]

can someone link atlas skill tree for dropping maps?

[nocturne citrus]

is there a way to filter time-lost diamonds on the trade site?

[gentle pollen]

dropping divines is just that common even with rarity

you do not make currency via raw drops

[crude adder]

what is the recommended resistance % to start mapping?

[marble beacon]

the best way is to be effective in everything you do, do it before others and then abuse the market like a maniac. No need to farm at all at that point

[fathom roost]

I'd say sorcerer but the issue is to get good mf gear u need to buy it from others which costs divs and u need certain items on sorc to make it ezfarm spec

[gentle pollen]

as close to 75 as possible but 50 is probably fine

especially if ranged

[crude adder]

whats a recommended budget to start mapping? would 1 exalt per item work? total ~10 or is it overkill

[plain raven]

I would be cautious of investing in mf right now, its 100% getting axed in some shape or form

[gentle pollen]

one is fine per item

maybe a couple on a weapon

[marble beacon]

I have kept the personal ruleset that if i have to spend more than 5ex to start mapping, i have failed the leveling phase

[crude adder]

im cooked

[marble beacon]

thats far better than either of my chars in poe2 had at the point of finishing acts

[vapid forge]

im so tired of getting one shot on maps

[marble beacon]

I think i was at t5 maps or so when i finally capped resists on my summoner. Mercenary bit earlier

[vapid forge]

i can do any white maps up to 6, the moment i add a modifier on them, i randomly die to a rare

no time to even heal

[marble beacon]

go slower until you can blast em.

[vapid forge]

i can blast them

[marble beacon]

Remember, you get nothing if you die. take your time

[hybrid crescent]

How much is this worth

[vapid forge]

the problem is they can blast me too

[marble beacon]

then you are not blasting them hard enough 😄

[tardy flare]

can someone explain to me how to solve this

[vapid forge]

you cant take your time in the foggy thing, or when you do a shrine thing

[turbid kernel]

Just search it on trade site

[tardy flare]

and if i step on the white circle in demon form i just die

eh i mean the game crashes

so i keep losing honor

[hybrid crescent]

thanks bro

[glacial crow]

is there an easier way to filter ultimatums by 10 trials only?

[marble beacon]

I know that when playing random t6-8's on my current build i can go mindless and just kill everything. but the moment i slam in a juiced t10+ i have to be using EVERYTHING in my kit to quarantee my safety

[turbid kernel]

I think just search item level 75+

[vapid forge]

but i just have no time to even notice im about to die. im cruising along and then just dead

and you get swarmed in the fog and on shrines. so you cant just fall back or take it slow

goes from 0-100

[marble beacon]

possible to rework more defenses while sacrificing dps?

[vapid forge]

idk maybe it is

[marble beacon]

might be worth looking in to

[vapid forge]

i got all my res at around 70, sans chaos

[marble beacon]

hp?

[violet dock]

is demonform still crashing the game at the end of trial 4?

[vapid forge]

monk

[tardy flare]

oh its a frigging tp spot

[marble beacon]

evasion or what as defensive layer?

[tardy flare]

nvm

[fleet steppe]

it just opens the red or blue doors

[fleet steppe]

you need to max your ele res

[shrewd basalt]

I did level 80 with 10 trials ascendancy trial. Yet i didnt get any ascendancy points, did i miss something? (tool tip said i can get ascendancy points)

[fleet steppe]

you're taking 50% more cold and lightning dmg than most ppl

[vapid forge]

you dont think im close enough?

[marble beacon]

yeah, i was at that pretty much same spot couple days back. I ditched ALL of the armor and replaced with evasion. Reached 75-80% evasion and it made ALL the difference

[vapid forge]

danmn that much

[fleet steppe]

you can do the math

[marble beacon]

its big

[fleet steppe]

most ppl take 25% cold damage, you take 37

50% more

[vapid forge]

i dont have armor on my gear, i have a node that gives me free armor per evasion

[marble beacon]

no clue how to remedy that situtation then :p

[vapid forge]

damn i didnt think about it like that

[tardy flare]

no i had to step on the white circle which tps you back but since i crash when i do it in demon form i never figured out what it does

[marble beacon]

that sounds like it should make you tankier but i dont know why you are so squishy

You freezing enemies?

[fleet steppe]

ya you got jebaited haha. you got a key fragment right? You need 3 (different) pieces to access a fight to trialmaster

have fun doing more trials

[vapid forge]

freeze and lightning

[tardy flare]

this is floor 4 i obviously did this 15 times :]

[vapid forge]

mostly lightning

[turbid kernel]

If you're trying to get your last ascendancy points, you have to kill the Trial master. He's behind a door at the end of the 10 trials that requires 3 key fragments to open, you get a random key fragment from the boss of the 10th ttial

[shrewd basalt]

oh, so thats what this stone was for, thanks!

[marble beacon]

look in to getting some cold dmg so you can more easily instantly freeze all enemies, they do far less dmg when they instantly freeze to death 😄

[shrewd basalt]

thanks!

[vapid forge]

i appreciate it guys!

hows that lol

i had an open slot in my helmet for a cold rune

[marble beacon]

still lacking, but looks better 😄

[wild kettle]

what is honor res cap? 75%?

[vapid forge]

is chaos worth the investment at this point?

[marble beacon]

i have few items that increase max honor resistance

nah

[vapid forge]

good to hear lol

[marble beacon]

invest in chaos resist once everything else is working

[vapid forge]

i could use some more evasion too i suppose

[marble beacon]

you do WANT it at some point, dont focus on it over other important things

[vapid forge]

right i gotcha

shame im out of good waystones too

[marble beacon]

You have so high evasion allready that i think you could reach like 80% by moving few passives from dmg nodes to evasion nodes

[vapid forge]

are you a monk?

wanna take a peek at my tree?

[marble beacon]

merc but playing with monk toolkit

[vapid forge]

see if you see anything?

[marble beacon]

no idea how monks work 😄

[vapid forge]

fair enough

ive tried to hit all the good evasion nodes

[marble beacon]

oioooooooh

ghost dance

or whatever that spirit skill is

you have it?

[vapid forge]

no i dont

[marble beacon]

look in to it! increases your evasion by alot

[dapper mesa]

if i fail the 4th ascen agasint the trial master do i have to collect the relics again?

[vapid forge]

🤔

will do ty

any supports to go with it?

any must haves

[marble beacon]

its not ghost dance that i am thinking of, 1 sec 😄

[vapid forge]

oh ok

wind dance?

[marble beacon]

ye

[drifting cosmos]

so where do the expedition log book portals open up? i just used a logbook and i dont see a portal anywhere in the hideout

[marble beacon]

i have blind and some other supports in it so it debuffs enemies if they manage to hit me

[vapid forge]

ty!

is acrobatics a trap

it seems like a trap to me

[marble beacon]

is the one that shreds your evasion but allows you to evade all hits or something?

[vapid forge]

yes

[marble beacon]

havent tried it, sounds like i should get wayyyyyyyy more evasion if i want to go for it on a pure evasion build

[vapid forge]

right

[fathom roost]

Imo acrobatics isn't worth all it let's u do is evade aoe hits (which ur dodging anyways) to nerf ur evasion into the ground

[marble beacon]

IMO it might be worth it if you are some sort of evasion ES build that can pad the lessened evasion with massive amount of ES

but on pure evasion, "noty"

[onyx gale]

The trade website is the best place to quickly get two level 2 support gems, right? If you need them immediately?

[vapid forge]

i have quite a bit of es due to my unique helmet

[marble beacon]

i would just ask friends/global. anyone who has been in maps for few days is most likely drowning in uncut supports

[vapid forge]

1350 es

[fathom roost]

Better have exalts to pay for em, if ur in campaign just wait ull get em eventually

[fleet steppe]

yep

[marble beacon]

yeah, i would go for 13k before swapping to acrobatics 😄

[vapid forge]

shit i dont think ill ever have 13k ev lmao

[marble beacon]

thats 6k ES with grim feast

[brazen imp]

So, I have a question. Are the affixes listed on the PoE2 website actually accurate in terms of the tier descriptions? Because I don't find them compatible in game and on the site. In fact, I don't understand the separations

[fleet steppe]

? wdym dodging. Ele AoE is the big weakness that acro shores up

[fleet steppe]

they are

[fleet steppe]

can you give an example

[brazen imp]

Could you give me an example of how they are?

[hot vapor]

Anyone wanna lemme leech level 4 ascendancy 👀

[fleet steppe]

??

they match exactly to tthe tiers in game

I'm not sure what you're even asking

[brazen imp]

Show me, give me an example

[fathom roost]

Dodge rolling or blinking or just moving out of it, I'm just saying that taking that node isn't worth guttering your evasion for when there better places to put ur points and tools to just dodge the aoe hits altogether

[fleet steppe]

dodge roll "iframes" do not protect against aoe

[vapid forge]

grim feast you say

whats this

why havent i heard about this

[fleet steppe]

we're not talking about big slams necessarily. We mean mobs that throw like fireballs or explosive arrow and shit

anything that does aoe damage

you cannot rollframe, nor can you evade

Acro shores up that weakness

i'm not sayin it's for every build, but it has a place and is definitely used quite a bit

[tardy flare]

i died with 22k honor because i didnt understand the mechanic

also that thing has 9 million health

[fleet steppe]

ok, flat life on amulets, T1 is Hale which gives 10-19 life
if you mouse over the mod in game it will say "Hale"

[tardy flare]

and i still do around 40k dps lule

[fleet steppe]

I'm not sure what else there is the explain

[brazen imp]

I dmed you, no need to do it here

[covert dragon]

help???

[subtle roost]

meanwhile https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1hnkk1l/afkd_the_3rd_floor_sekhemas_boss/

[near jay]

So I am now in the T5 maps quest and getting smacked around a bit. I have died 3 times in maps. I am running LA with cast on freeze. It’s doing great but struggling with currency. I am getting the odd exalted and have had 2 divines drop in later act 3 cruel.

I am in a decent place for gear and following funguns guide but need some advice on currency farming. The 2 point for every 10 maps run is feeling slow and I am just not sure what to try and sell… help me! 🥺

[subtle roost]

yeah, the hourglass thing is pretty rough

assuming that's what you're talking about

first time I did that one of the hourglasses got placed behind a mirror thingy so I didn't see it

[mental hemlock]

Is the ritual king even worth running anymore? seems more profitable to just sell it.

[safe flame]

what NPC in my hideout can i gamble items?

or do i need to return to act 6 all the time?

[formal mulch]

Can anyone help me understand mapping? I've been mapping for 20+ hours, easily done 100 of them and I haven't found a single one of the citadels... am I doing something wrong? I'm like 5 screens in every direction from the start...

[tardy flare]

i mean that guy has no helath compared to the last guy

but what did he do to afk it

[craggy pilot]

is this 12% max mana on this amulet from insightfulness

?

[tardy flare]

no

[severe grail]

q: does player MF work on pinnacle bosses? On a pinnacle boss, how do I think about going up in difficulty vs more player MF?

[tardy flare]

annoint, implicit, explicit

[craggy pilot]

wdym

[half chasm]

when I see a corrupted helmet with +1 power charges thats cause of the corruption ya? or is that some kind of enchantment (like Labs did for poe1)

[tardy flare]

the annoint is listed top

[fading shell]

where does one report a bug?

[tardy flare]

the max mana is an explicit mod

[half chasm]

this is what I'm asking about. is corrupting what caused that enchant or is that enchant gained somewhere else?

[safe flame]

what NPC in my hideout can i gamble items?
or do i need to return to act 6 all the time?

[marble beacon]

If you can figure out a way to add sin to the hideout, you are golden.

Its in the hideout menu but cannot add it

[turbid kernel]

Yeah, it seems like there's a bug right now and no gambling in the hideout

[craggy pilot]

how do I put on a mana mod

[covert dragon]

how do i get each set of map boss atlas points?

[small lava]

i've attempted my 3rd ascendancy trial 5 times and have failed all of them, idk what i'm doing wrong or if its just bad luck on my part

[covert dragon]

i got 2 boss books so far and dont know what triggers it to drop

[hasty hornet]

It's a quest given by doryani

[jagged hound]

Is this only for enemies i actively have marked or have marked at all in the past?

[covert dragon]

which one

[hasty hornet]

Oh boss

[covert dragon]

yeah

[hasty hornet]

Well you get the first one after beating lvl 79+ boss

In a map

Open atlas by pressing ctrl + u

Then look at boss tree

Hover over the boss atlas points

You will see how to acquire more

[pastel current]

How much honor resistance do you stack (with relics) ?

[covert dragon]

ok that makes sense thankjs

[unique hawk]

Also wondering

[hasty hornet]

Currently marked

[small lava]

51%

[heady karma]

T9 maps now, when do I care about popping towers? Do I leave spots open around the towers to utilize the buffs?

[pastel current]

Alright you can get to 75% if you get at least to the end of the second floor sometime. Keep adding as much augmentations as you can on the relics that you have and reforge those you don't need. What you seek is :

• honor resistance
• maximum honor
• increased defenses (least preferable of the three but potent as well).

That should help you get rid of the unlucky affliction draws, and the errors along the way

[fleet steppe]

Don't forget monsters do reduced damage

[small lava]

I've gotten to the 2nd floor a couple of times one of my big issues is i'm rubberbanding like a MF

[pastel current]

Ah yeah that must suck a lot in there

[small lava]

and PoE2 of all my online games that i play is the only one doing that

i get that it is in beta, but GGG has been running PoE1 for a decade and cant fix rubberbanding?

[pastel current]

I'm on PC and I have tracked network spikes as well, this will be fixed don't worry

[small lava]

so i'm fucked until then?

[pastel current]

Right now it's just the early access build, almost untouched

Something that helped me was to tweak CPU affinities (forbid PoE2 to use 2 cores of my CPU), but idk if you can do that on PS haha

[small lava]

i'm on console

PS5

[pastel current]

Yeah I see that on your tag here

Other options that come to mind is try to use cellphone data share

[small lava]

console gives you no control over your cores, or clock speeds, this is a ping issue on the server side

[boreal crag]

Trying to do this tower but nothing happens when I click on it. Am I missing something or should I report it as bug?

[gloomy umbra]

How do i enchant the amulet with high allert?

[pastel current]

Try vonnecting to your phone shared wifi, maybe the interaction will be better. Too bad inm not at home until the 3rd, otherwise I would have helped you ingame

[small lava]

because i'm doing a minion witch build and my 3rd ascendancy is super important due toa giant spirt gain

[turbid kernel]

Hold alt on the node to see which delirium emotions you need. Get them from delirium or buy them on currency exchange. Right click one to open the anointing menu and then put the emotions in the window in that order it showed on the tree

[void spear]

best place to get gold? cant refund passives anymore

[gloomy umbra]

Ty

[turbid kernel]

I think just farming maps and vendiring rares instead of disenchanting them

[small lava]

i appreciate the sentiment, my cell data isn't much better, and what really sucks is i live in a big city, but my block i live on has a corporate ran HoA and refuses to let my internet provider upgrade the DSL copper lines to fiber

30 meg download FTW!

[pastel current]

Oh yeah ... :(

[grizzled fox]

does each jewel type have its own pool of mods possible?

ruby, sapphire, emerald, etc

[small lava]

no just their own type of implicit

[grizzled fox]

jewels, not jewelry

passive jewels

[small lava]

oh IDK probaby

[grizzled fox]

ive never seen a non-ruby with rage on hit or a non-emerald with attack speed, for example

i think it's gotta be, i've been buying and modding jewels for a few days now and cannot get the combinations i want

because i think certain mods are gem type specific

[upper warren]

yes

[grizzled fox]

damn

[upper warren]

There's some crossover but mostly their own unique pools

[grizzled fox]

i want rage on hit jewels but most of the other ruby mods i've seen are kinda shit for me

[upper warren]

What kind of attack build are you playing where ruby jewels don't have decent mods

[uneven trail]

yo guys iam cruel act 2 can someone carry me so i can lvl

[fathom lodge]

I have a question about the greater jeweler orb, at what map level you start seeing those? 3? 10?

[turbid kernel]

Check poe2db.tw, it's got a list of all the mods that can roll on each base

[grizzled fox]

str stacking pillar

attack dmg % isn't useless but not very good with this build

because 5 str is equivalent to 10% attack dmg even before considering all the % attr scaling the build has elsewhere

[upper warren]

Does that build do crit at all?

[grizzled fox]

yeah, can you get crit on rubies?

crit and attack speed are probably my best non-attribute damage stats

[upper warren]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Ruby#ModifiersCalc yes

Ah nevermind, I'm lying

[jagged hound]

Max rage? Warcry stats?

[grizzled fox]

max rage isn't bad, warcry useless as i'm gemling

[turbid kernel]

Check poedb

[upper warren]

Really is not a lot

Pen since you're gemling

[split willow]

if a rare weapon has 3 modifiers, how do I add the other 3?

[jagged hound]

Exalted Orbs

[grizzled fox]

yeah pen is next best bet but ruby only seems to have fire pen

and fire is my lowest ele dmg

[upper warren]

Could get max fire res I guess

[grizzled fox]

this is probably the best one i've seen

but my emeralds with attack speed really outpace it

[tranquil forge]

Thorns damage is good?

[split willow]

what was the item that adds some bring blue effect to items o.o

[amber helm]

nope

[amber helm]

orb of transmutation?

[split willow]

no no, that adds a normal effect, there were some items with weird effects that were separate like +25% resistances to all elements

[amber helm]

i see, you mean a vaal orb

[split willow]

huh, those are corruption effects?

[amber helm]

yeah

[split willow]

ahh

[amber helm]

vaal orbs can also brick the item so be careful

[split willow]

Thank you!

[lost basin]

you cant put the medallions in valley of titans on your second account?

increase item rarity on your gear afaik

[opal knot]

how do precursor tablets work? do they expire after the # of maps it says are irradiated? or does it spread the mods to random maps in tower radius permanently?

[rustic pollen]

hey guys, is it possible to trade unnecessary waystones to better ones or just sell them?

[amber helm]

you can 3-1 them at the salvage bench

+1 tier

[rustic pollen]

oh, thank you 🙂

[rain belfry]

Hello! Does anyone know how trial of sekhema relics work in co-op? Thanks!

[hidden pollen]

Game crashes in f**king trial of chaos on last boss and now I just lose the entire trial?? wtf

[near plank]

Anyone able to confirm that lightning exposure has no debuff icon on enemies in PoE 2?

[vapid forge]

i have no more waystones and i want to die

[lost basin]

anyone knows why i cant put the relics in?

[grizzled fox]

best ive seen for my build that ive modded myself*, thorns wasn't a target but it's better then something with 0 value ig

attack damage + life leech about as good as i can hope for with the mods rubies can get

max rage would be the only other good thing

[near plank]

press z

[hidden pollen]

try going the to waypoint, holding CTRL while clicking to rejoin and select a new instance - that should work

[near plank]

nah they're just tooltips hidden

[lost basin]

tq

[near plank]

default key is z to toggle i believe

[vagrant summit]

how do you guys avoid just getting chainstunned to death? even with a stun charm equipped, a lot of the time melee enemies get on me and i can't cast any spells at all cause i just get stunned out of them

[near plank]

are you energy shield based?

[hidden pollen]

Some nodes in passive tree + scale ES with stun threshold

[vagrant summit]

no, no es sadly

[near plank]

try to get stun threshold passives and higher life

cahnce to be stunned is based off your maximum life and stun threshold

[vagrant summit]

i have some stun threshold stuff but it doesn't feel like it makes any difference at all

[rustic pollen]

@amber helm if I click on salvage bench, I cant select the waystones. do I need another salvage bench? I just have a hammer symbol for quality/sockets

[hidden pollen]

reforge not salvage

[amber helm]

oh i mean the other one

mb

[rustic pollen]

oh, ok 🙂 thank you 🙂

[vapid forge]

what do you do when you run out of waystones

[amber helm]

buy some from doryani

[jaunty crystal]

buy from people, tradesite has filter for them, or just ask in trade channel of the game

[scarlet terrace]

buy from people, buy from doryani and reforge

[vapid forge]

yeah that makes sense ty im dumb

what do waystones usually go for?

[jaunty crystal]

1ex, some people might be kind enough to sell bunches for cheaper

t15 might be more expensive

[vapid forge]

i cant survive t6

i can until i get the foggy delirium one

ive noticed the foggy delerium modifier just means you get swarmed and die immediately

its pretty cool

[near plank]

just dont' do delirium

if you're dying

it's okay to skip it

[vapid forge]

yeah

i hate them

is that normal

[near plank]

yeah it's normal

[toxic merlin]

Normal when your build is bad yeah

[vapid forge]

hey man thats mean

[near plank]

u can just buyt he distilled from currency exchange if u need to anoint something

[toxic merlin]

Delirium increases the damage and toughness of mobs

[jaunty crystal]

well, delirium drops kinda valuable resource

[toxic merlin]

The further you go into the fog

[vapid forge]

its more about the quantity

swarmed insta death

[near plank]

the mobs are also immune to damage for like 2 seconds after they appear which is super annoying lol

that's why they swarm you so consistently

[toxic merlin]

That means you’re not killing things fast enough

[vapid forge]

thats messed up

i can kill them pretty fast

normal t6 no problem

[toxic merlin]

You also need to be able to take some hits

[vapid forge]

t6 delerium insta death

yeah im working on my tankiness

[toxic merlin]

Just avoid breach and delirium until you improve your build

Probably ritual too

[split willow]

hmm, how does the death storm command on the skelly mage work? it's always greyed out o.o

[vapid forge]

yeah im good if i dont try those

thank you guys

[tawdry ether]

HI.
How do I set up my filters to only show non rares if they are Expert Dualstring Bow?

[tardy flare]

i guess this is not the way to ascend then

:[

[split willow]

you ascend after pressing OK

[vapid forge]

lmao

[tardy flare]

i ascend to the windows desktop 👍

[jaunty crystal]

secret ascendence

[split willow]

hmm, how does the death storm command on the skelly mage work? it's always greyed out o.o

[upper warren]

I'd recommend doing temple of chaos, the nerfs made it a cake walk

[tardy flare]

it puts me back in front of the boss room

maybe i should just stay in regular form and let someone else do it

can i tp out at the entrance?

maybe i can buy some op fire stick

and just doo it on foot

[jaunty crystal]

you can leave and come back later

[vapid forge]

how do i use these precursor tablets?

[jaunty crystal]

complete tower and then you can insert tablet there

[silk schooner]

cant buy first invitation to the king because it cost 3400ritual points and usually only get like 1800-2000 >.> is that just unlucky or can i do something besides defering ?

[jaunty crystal]

it will buff tiles around tower

[vapid forge]

ohhhh i dont know how to get to the towers yet

do all nodes around it?

[tardy flare]

i think if i turn off the game i will the coin tho

i think i just buy a stick thats as good as demon form

[vapid forge]

all nodes attached?

[tardy flare]

just gonna lose my dodge

[exotic gazelle]

how much would a 2nd sekhma trial carry cost?

[jaunty crystal]

just one path to tower is enough

[cedar escarp]

When do divine orbs start dropping?

[void spear]

whats a mirror of delurium?

[jaunty crystal]

do the chaos trial t1 for 2nd ascend

[void spear]

ive gotten them in tier 1's

[maiden haven]

how or can i invite my friend for fourth ascension when i already started it and im at the boss entrance?

[exotic gazelle]

already did

[jaunty crystal]

you mean 5-6th points?

[exotic gazelle]

no i did first sekhma for 1-2 then first chaos trial for 3-4 now i wanna do the 2nd sekhma for 5-6

[jaunty crystal]

some people sell for 20ex

[craggy tiger]

so I got a perfect jewlers orb to drop randomly...still very early in endgame, doing Tier 4 Map quest with my map ranges being 5-7 ish. All my skills have had lesser jewlers used on them, so I was debating, is it worth trading the perfect for 7 greaters to make all my skills have 4 slots instead of 1 getting to 5?

[exotic gazelle]

i would gladly pay 20ex holy shit

[maiden haven]

how or can i invite my friend for fourth ascension when i already started it and im at the boss entrance?

[craggy tiger]

I thought you could only do 4 ascendencies for 8 pts? you can do more?

[floral pendant]

pierce in poe2 only pierces 1 enemy?

[vagrant summit]

5-6 come from 3rd sekhemas, not 2nd

[split willow]

can i make it so my town portal always sends me to my hideout?

[tardy flare]

alright bois i bought a stick

first time no demon lady

[torpid wave]

Quick question, is honor capped at 75% like res? Or could it be higher

[distant surge]

can someone pls join my party to fix my map bug, i cant leave the boss arena to finish rest of map

ign: StartGooning

[near plank]

capped at 75% by default, but there are relics that can increase max honor resistance

[tardy flare]

rofl

easy

all i needed was a stick for 30 bucks

[exotic gazelle]

wym 3rd like 3 floors?

[tardy flare]

yes

[exotic gazelle]

ok sekhema 2 floors doesnt exist to me cuz it gives nothing

[formal mulch]

Can anyone help me understand atlas maps? I've been mapping for 20+ hours, easily done 100 of them and I haven't found a single one of the keys... am I doing something wrong? I'm like 5 screens in every direction from the start...

[vagrant summit]

honestly farming sekhemas is a great way to get jewels

[echo flame]

does this work on boss rooms?

[sharp goblet]

Whats with thr horrid input lag when grouped.....

[unique hawk]

Think so

[formal mulch]

yes

[charred oriole]

Using the hundreds of uncut skill gems you have, craft an extra copy of a gem, use a lesser jeweler on it, vaal orb it and pray it gets +1 sockets. Takes about 5-6 tries per gem but you can easily get corrupted gems equivalent for a greater without paying for it

[tardy flare]

i havent found a perfect orb and i have done hundreds of maps

the problem is you need 4 link for that snacky

[formal mulch]

and you need to be using vaals on maps sadly

[tardy flare]

i mean vaals are 3 for 1 dollar

[next light]

my mate, found one in a pot yesterday

[tardy flare]

rofl

best pot

[craggy tiger]

YOU'RE SO SMART

[next light]

i break everything now, due to that

[craggy tiger]

THAT GIVES ME SUCHA GOOD USE FOR THEM LMAO

tysm

[tardy flare]

liek a great orb is 30 ex right now, you need 5 prisms which is about 10. so your chance to 5 link it is about 1 in 5? so you need 200 ex on average to do it this way, which is still cheaper than buying a perfect orb ofc

but what if youre the unluckiest person on earth :}

[craggy tiger]

damn so i got really lucky with my 1 perfect i found

it was on my first map too

[tardy flare]

and i think for most builds 200ex is still not worth it

[craggy tiger]

t1 waystone, no atlas lmao

[tardy flare]

lololol

yeah you can sell it for 500ex

i would sell it tbh

unless you sff

ssf

[charred oriole]

Also you can still level up corrupted gems using another skill gem so you don't have to waste your 17 skill gems use like a level 8 one

[craggy tiger]

i mean thats the question isnt it? set myself up currency wise for the rest of a bit, or save it to juice a skill later

[tardy flare]

ah its '264'

[craggy tiger]

wait explain? i thought you couldnt modify corrupted items

[tardy flare]

but still you get 3-4 divines for it

[craggy tiger]

to skill gem upgrades bypass that?

[tardy flare]

that will buy you a full kit of gear for going through maps

man divine prices still goes up

i traded some divines to ex at like 65 bc i though tit will go down xD

im not smart

shoulda traded into divines i had like 350 of them when they were 65

[carmine quiver]

is there any place i can buy trial boost for ingame currency? since im having a real struggle getting the 2 last ones

[tardy flare]

yes

i think on the official forums and here

wasnt there a trade forum here somewhere

[carmine quiver]

where do i find it here?

[grizzled fox]

is there any way to filter time-lost mods on the trade site?

[tardy flare]

idk i thought hey had this here

but check the official forums

[oak flint]

if I log off while in the middle of an ascendancy trial, will it keep my place?

[tardy flare]

i think you lose trial but im not 100%

[charred oriole]

You can't modify the sockets further but if it's a corrupted +1 socket level 8 gems you can use a level 18uncut to upgrade it

Your two options is either sell it for a ton of ex and upgrade all your gear but if you are doing fine I would use the perfect jewler on the main skill

[craggy tiger]

yeahh i got some decent gear for where im at atm, im pretty happy with it

i think I'll super juice my main skill

[hot shoal]

So, what defines a map being a "red" map

is it just being a tier 11+?

[ivory forge]

Yea

[hot shoal]

because i cant increase the rarity higher than rare

[rapid berry]

doog

[craggy pilot]

how does the 4th ascendancy work

I heard I need to kill 3 bosses

[rapid berry]

yeah dog

[hot shoal]

?

[rapid berry]

what dog?

[hot shoal]

toxic much?

[rapid berry]

i agree with you dawg

[split willow]

bois, i have storm mage but for some reason it doesn't allow me to cast command death storm... Any ideas?

[hot shoal]

nice vac ban.

[grim ridge]

right click another distilled orb and shoujld be there

[charred oriole]

Yeah imo that is what I plan on doing, I did the corrupt method to get 4 slots on most of my gems and as I find perfects I'm gonna replace those skills with perfect then quality them

[mellow copper]

have u guys gotten this bug last rare is outside the map

is that fish mud mob from the lever story map

killable

just have to be lucky and wait

and he comes for you

[daring crest]

have u guys seen a flask with tier 3 unidentified? or is 2 the max for them

[copper crane]

I need t7 or higher waystones if anyone has any extra.. I ran out of all t5 nd t6 😦

[next light]

man, i wish i had a faster map clear build. Sometimes 😂

[wild kettle]

I fucking hate those trials, waste like 30 minutes on easy part just to get to boss and die to some random one shot mechanic or some random shit cuz you can't even learn pattern, who the fuck designed it that way

just let us re-do the boss if we can get there with near full honor instead of this waste of time slugfest

[prisma veldt]

Selling 3rd ascendancy. Boss ready. 20 exalts

[upper warren]

Lol what a scam

[cold dome]

guys what is this 30% mana regen thing called, it's not the runes

[upper warren]

Is the item corrupted

[cold dome]

ahhh it's that? yes it is

[upper warren]

Yup it's a corrupt that takes up the enchant slot

[mellow copper]

implicit

is the name

[frigid turtle]

Is this usable on any build and what would be its worth?

[cold dome]

I see, thanks

[mellow copper]

it is good in some

it works when people use cast on skills

idk if it works with heralds

but cool if it would

[frigid turtle]

Any idea what price this could hit?

[fathom roost]

Triggered and meta keywords imply cast on x skills which very few builds use now that they nerfed it severely

[signal perch]

anyone a high level endgame witchhunter?

ive just got a few burning questions :]

[mellow copper]

search in poe2build help threads

theres a thread for every class

[signal perch]

literally nothing

nvm i found em

wrong channel

[upper warren]

Don't do price checking

[ripe remnant]

cast on X is still part of some of the most powerful stormweaver builds. its no longer completely unbeatable and braindead, it's still strong, especially with gems like that

[signal perch]

it wont let me post in the merc thread

[full sleet]

Is there any active trade chat channels ingame?

[dull night]

does this 3 object will be destroyed if i fail to beat trialmaster?

[normal wadi]

guys i have a question,
If I press Tab on my weapon, for example, there are two values, e.g., (25-34%) increased PD Does that mean that if I use a Divine Orb, my value can increase to a maximum of 34%?

Or are the values completely randomized, and can they go above 34%?

[lost moat]

can you catalyst MF stat with ring?

[ripe remnant]

but be careful, it looks like you dont have the highest possible tier of those rolls, or maybe I misrememebr roll tiers for physical dmg%

[fast sleet]

What do people mean when they say ‘slam’ or ‘smash’

[opal knot]

what map tier did you guys start using procedural tablets on towers
