No

[upper warren]

yes

[hexed kelp]

is this node bugged?

[candid venture]

Hi. How do I get more Tier 2 Waystones if I've run out and there are none at the vendor? I only seem to get Tier 1s from Tier 1 maps.

[daring crest]

combine 3 tier 1 in reforge bench to get +1 tier lvl

[chrome tangle]

Are Citadel bosses effected by Boss Difficulty atlas node?

[upper warren]

Yeah they are

[violet onyx]

Hi guys - not sure where to post this. Atlas is showing a map as yellow (in progress) but the map is completed. This is stopping me from advancing. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[chrome tangle]

It would still show in progress even after completion, but would allow to move further.
Like this (i completed map in yellow)

[violet onyx]

It won't let me go advanced to the hideout clear

[drowsy bronze]

Anyone here that can help me with trials 3?

[violet onyx]

I'll try restarting the game.

[formal mulch]

Is there a certain way to locate the citadels on atlas maps? I'm level 92 and haven't found one yet...

[violet onyx]

Restarting worked. Thanks 🙂

[feral plume]

im only in green maps and i see quin69 doing the trail of sekemas a lot but it does not give ascention points so do you do just the trail for loot in the chests at the end? and would it be better then maps?

[violet onyx]

Has to be level 60 or higher for second ascendancy. The lower level maps are good practice for the second boss and you get chance for loots.

[fickle hamlet]

How come when I fail my trial it's leaving me on a screen where the only option is to close the application

[shrewd ridge]

The trials and ultimatum are done for farming loot but they give you ascendancy points as a bonus

If it has it on the tag

[drowsy nacelle]

How can I make my filter show every expert base that is above ilvl 79? I tried this

BaseType "Expert"
Rarity Normal
ItemLevel >= 79
Item Class: Gloves
Rarity Normal
SetTextColor 255 255 255
SetBorderColor 255 255 255

is there like a contains flag?

[tranquil jungle]

im on 4th floor of trial of sekhema and im kinda stuck, there are 3 levers here and it just lowers the doors in a loop.what do i do ?

[shrewd ridge]

I don’t think there is quite an advanced and specific filter

[drowsy nacelle]

Ok thanks

[stray citrus]

Can someone help me kill king in the mists? I suck at this game;/

[agile karma]

does cast speed only apply to spells?

[shrewd ridge]

Yeah usually only arcane abilities

is this a good staff for act 2? im building a spark sorc

[shrewd ridge]

Yeah pretty good

[drowsy nacelle]

yea thought i tried that but seems i didnt...

thnak you

[hoary sequoia]

So I found my first citadel.. an Iron one.. What exactly do I do with it lo

[subtle roost]

kill stuff

[drowsy nacelle]

Just dont die because if you do you lose your charecter

[vapid forge]

are lost towers hard

should i put an easy waystone in

[drowsy nacelle]

no

[violet onyx]

I don't find them to be, sometimes they have modifiers on them - if they do, I'd put an easy one on it.

[vapid forge]

ok ty guys

[near plank]

put low level waystones in lost towers since mob density is very bad and you won't sustain your highest tier maps if u waste them like that

[agile hemlock]

Scenario: after finishing trial of chaos, you tp back to town thinking you should now go back to your hide out

You realised that the town you’re in doesn’t have a waypoint to travel back to your hideout, but it has a portal.

You go through the portal to look for a solution to get back home. And all of a sudden you’re in act 1 again.

So you’re thinking hmm maybe I should TP back to town. Then you do, and you realised you’re essentially stuck unless you’re willing to go through act 1 first map every time you finish trial of chaos

Why is the design so stupid?

[near plank]

you aren't the only one having that issue but i can't imagine the problem myself since i went into my trials expecting to ascend

so i would never leave before ascending

[agile hemlock]

Nooo it’s after ascending

Or simply after finishing a trial of chaos

[feral plume]

am I cooked every second map i get oneshot😭

[next light]

get more resistance

and evasion

[near plank]

oh that's just the act 3 thing, it's due to act 4 not being done

you can get to your hideout from any town with /hideout command

[agile hemlock]

Yeah they outta fix this, you SHOULD be able to tp back to your hideout ANYWHERE as long as there’s a waypoint on the floor

[fallen belfry]

is there a difference between "burdens you with an affliction" and "afflicts you on entry"? is one only temporary?

[agile hemlock]

Wait WHAT

[subtle roost]

bad resists, bad evasion

[thin cipher]

and is there a reason you are stacking so much dex and not some int for things like ball lightning/orb of storms?

[fiery cloud]

Has anyone gotten a mob (rare) stuck under the ground before? Is there a way to get him out?

[subtle roost]

yes and no

[agile hemlock]

Not enough DPS
Go play a build where you one shot mobs/ get one shot

i think mine was like 25k around then

[agile hemlock]

Tooltip DPS doesn’t mean anything tho

It’s just a general sense, you use that value to mainly compare before and after. That’s it

[hexed kelp]

does herald of agony and pf passive stack ?

how many arrows

[near plank]

plague bringer is so much better anyways imo

[hexed kelp]

ur gems are bad

[near plank]

give it a try

[hexed kelp]

i am

idk

i dont have spirit

i have ghost dance wind dance and grim fest

[near plank]

should be wind dancer, plague bringer, alchemist's boon imo

most of those gems are pretty standard for LA

ur not living with that

never ur going to live with that

i'm level 92 so yes i am living with that haha

im just usign lightning arrow with rod and the mark for bosses/uniques

[fiery cloud]

I found a youtube about an underground monster and its the same double bow guy

another reason to hate teh vaal

hey guys anyone know atlas skill tree build for mapping?

i mean yeah tailwind is good but you should never rely on your evasion being what it is with tailwind buff

you want it to be high without or its gonna get sketchy

yup, just howa spam LA off in to the distance as you run and just chill

is there a way to make the vaal orb not remove a stat?

i think allocaiton eventually lets anyone loot

let me check wiki

[surreal summit]

So I am trying to find a sapphire gem with % mana on kill but none of the filters work on the trade site.. any way to make it less restricted to exact wording.. like I know they can roll with it

[near plank]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Item_allocation

[patent lagoon]

5 min timer nvm

[near plank]

Allocation is cleared if the item is picked up and dropped again, if the assigned player leaves an area, or if 5 minutes pass.

[subtle roost]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/vqVmXrjHE

you're trying to find a sapphire jewel

[olive hinge]

I ahve little dilemma about which quiver to use and I'm not sure if I can trust the in game dps calculations

[subtle roost]

you'll have to consider the conditional dps boosts that aren't going to show up from just plugging in the new quiver

[olive hinge]

I feel like the toxic quiver should be stronger

but I'm not sure if it says more dps because of the bleed which I'm not sure if it's gonna proc on gas cloud to begin with or because of the attack speed

because I feel like +2 to projectiles should be way stronger than +3% to bow skills

[near plank]

you're looking at the right tab, right?

you dont want to look at the arrow tab

[unkempt dew]

can anybody exlpain the adorned to me? Just got one and it does aboslutely nothing when I slot it in?

[near plank]

you are probably doing explosion stuff and want to look at the explosion tab

[subtle roost]

read it

[olive hinge]

poison cloud and explosion is also lower

and I'm doing just poison not the explosions

[unkempt dew]

I read it. All my jewels are corrupted and it's not giving me anything from them.

[subtle roost]

it provides conditional effects. are you meeting those conditions.

are they magic

[vale elbow]

how to stop poe2sale from constantly logging out after just a few minutes? its driving me insane

[unkempt dew]

jfc

lmao

[surreal summit]

If you put a key passive on an amulet can you replace it later?

[subtle roost]

you can't. they'll probably fix it after the holidays

[vale elbow]

thanks big bro

[near plank]

trade site dude is on holiday lol

[subtle roost]

pretty sure they're just restarting the service on a loop so it doesn't crash

lol

[zealous gull]

Do you guys think 4th ascend is doable lvl 89 with 20k LA DPS ?

[near plank]

i think ggg got one dude for trade site and he's a hero

[subtle roost]

indeed

[near plank]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-tobey-mc-guire-holding-stopping-rescue-gif-5085502

[surreal summit]

I know I couldn’t kill the final boss at 84 with about 20k Tempest Flurry DPS because I didn’t have enough move speed

[tender spindle]

Is this game made to play with ppl? Because killing last act 1 boss solo seems to be very hard. Is that all made on purpose?

[zealous gull]

With or without relic ?

I don't have much

[subtle roost]

solo is totally doable.

[next light]

gets harder in groups, its made for solo and groups

[subtle roost]

you can team up, but it gets harder

you should follow a guide if you're having trouble

also #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help

[agile hemlock]

I used tempest Macflurry and the bell, that’s the only two skills I have when I fought trialmaster

I also had storm wave… didn’t use it

I was level 90 tho

[surreal summit]

Yeah I had the issue with the sekhemas boss his one shot mechanic with the pick up bubbles I couldn’t grab them fast enough

I haven’t tried chaos because it also sucks

I wasn’t struggling with killing him or taking honor damage until the one shot mechanic

[agile hemlock]

Ah I fought it once and lost, didn’t understand how I died and disliked it so much.

Also started looping trial of chaos for currencies farming as it’s a lot easier than Shitkemas.

[keen pecan]

does this good ?

[subtle roost]

yes?

is it more good than other things is a better question

[agile hemlock]

Good does this

[surreal summit]

Problem is I don’t have a ton of attempts at them lol I am less concerned about farming it.. I just want to clear it for my last 2 points for now..

[keen pecan]

yup

like for 3rd slot flame is it better than others

[charred oriole]

I'm just over here with my minion infernalist build with 1.1k life and 1.9k mana with mom easily taking out the 4th ascend boss

[subtle roost]

only you have the context required to answer that rn

[agile hemlock]

You’re monk right? Trial of chaos is easier. As long as you kill the mini bosses FAST in the trial it’s soooo easy

[tiny shard]

Ive just completed the story mode and did 1 map... I have these stupid idols to sell to Oswald in my inventory but he doesn't exist in ziggurat right now cuz im in the refuge and all I want to do is clear them from my inventory but it won't even let me stash or destroy them anyone know what I can do?

[peak wren]

Hello, which of these two is better for an ice strike monk ? I currently have the one on the left (bought for 2 div) but I'm looking for an upgrade

[charred oriole]

But I think trial of chaos is way easier I just started farming it before I finished 4th ascendancy

[subtle roost]

drop them in a map

[near plank]

u can drop quest items on the ground outside of towns

[subtle roost]

if you don't care about the tiny amount of gold they give

[lean wing]

i've completed a map but 2 of the 3 rituals won't let me start them despite any mobs being left alive near them, anyone else had this and found a fix?

[surreal summit]

I will try it here in a bit and see, I only have 1 key for it right now but chaos runs can get bricked pretty quick if you get a bad mod

[tiny shard]

Ok thank u

[agile hemlock]

When you see modifiers that gives monsters more… damage

It’s okay, they won’t touch you.
You’re a monk.

[subtle roost]

hard to say. check the dps in G.

[keen pecan]

I have three choices

[peak wren]

I'd rather avoid level because it's what I prioratized before but it doesn't give much damage compared to mana cost

[agile hemlock]

What’s the level of the trial of chaos?

[topaz hawk]

how is the tuning on xesht? im 90% sure me or my build or both are shit, but just wanted to check it wasn't borked like temple of chaos was

[subtle roost]

I don't even know if you're breaking armor or applying exposure tbh

[peak wren]

the second pic is from trade :" I can't check it

[subtle roost]

more level to skills will probably give a ton of dps but cost a ton of mana

the one on the right looks nice

[olive hinge]

do you guys think that the quiver with +2 is gonna become better than the other one once I get master fletching which puts me to +50% bonus from quiver?

[feral plume]

can you go over 100 percent resistance

[keen pecan]

i combine it with spark

[subtle roost]

lol

[agile hemlock]

Harder than trial master

[subtle roost]

I'm not playing 500 questions

[surreal summit]

Oops I thought I had one but nope not one that grants ascendancy

[topaz hawk]

so a git gud angle and not needs tuning?

[subtle roost]

why not both

[candid venture]

Are Greater Jewellers Orbs worth 1 Div?

[subtle roost]

check the currency exchange

[lime gull]

I'm trying to find out how to scale gas arrow. The wiki says "Deals 11% Base Chaos Damage per second", what does that mean?

[subtle roost]

#price-check📉

[surreal summit]

Honestly he felt fine for me minus basically needing the movement speed boon to get all bubbles

[surreal summit]

They are less on the currency exchange.

[candid venture]

Sorry, new. Appreciate you mentioning that, even if it's basic..

[subtle roost]

whatever your chaos dmg is it deals 11% of it per second

[open spire]

which filter do people use? was it neversink or filterblade?

[subtle roost]

neversink is filterblade

use neversink's posted filter

[thin cipher]

iirc hes still working on filterblade for poe2

[lime gull]

But I do no chaos damage (what I know of), my bow is physical dmg only. Still gas arrow does alot of damage?

[floral pendant]

If my projectile 100% chains does fork support still work?

[subtle roost]

Whenever a projectile collides, it will attempt each of its remaining behaviors,[5] prioritized in this order: Split, Pierce, Fork, Chain, Return. Only a single behaviour can occur per collision.

fork happens before chain

[mental umbra]

i finished a t16 map and i got a pop-up saying favoured map slot unlocked what is that?

[safe flame]

i am dropping like 1x exalt per hour in tier 4 maps... when does this game finally start giving me crafting currency... i am SSF...

[subtle roost]

get rarity on gear

[narrow hearth]

i don't like either tbh

[stark badge]

Is there any way to find citadels faster? I've gotten to level 91, ascended 4 times, etc. and still only found one citadel.

[safe flame]

its not possible, i drop nothing, i am SSF so sadly i can not pay2win with my MASTERCARD

[narrow hearth]

rarityyyy

it's underrated for suuuure

[thin cipher]

just keep clearing towers for visibility

[unkempt dew]

im in sekemas trial, when is safe to portal out so i can return?

[subtle roost]

???

[floral pendant]

So if i understand this correct with my broken english, This mean my spark forks first then chains?

[surreal summit]

I have 56% now and I haven’t seen a massive increase even on t13 maps 😦

[subtle roost]

80-130 min imo

[subtle roost]

yeah, it'll fork before chain

[peak wren]

any recommendations ? Also, is there a way to scale damage from other gear ? I currently use the Porcilken ring and playing Ice Monk

[open spire]

do you know if there's constant updates to neversink? I downloaded a filter probably 2 weeks ago, looks like no updates on github
https://github.com/NeverSinkDev/NeverSink-PoE2litefilter

[safe flame]

how should i get rarity on my gear if i am still in level 30 gear because i dont get exalts...i can not craft anything the game does drop me maybe 1x exalt per hour... IF i am lucky...i have gone for 2 hours now without any exalted orbs dropping at all

[peak wren]

it has decent clear but now that I'm in tier 13+ maps I feel like the damage fell off

[narrow hearth]

sorry i don't know your build or what's on the market // just saying what i like based on the pics and that you're a ice monk

[subtle roost]

he updates it from time to time. best to adjust it to your own needs. it's not too hard to get a hang of.

[narrow hearth]

(and i don't have time or will to help that way)

[peak wren]

and with single target (rares) it's much thougher

[subtle roost]

check vendors, id items off the ground, transmute and aug them, disenchant rares

[clear mesa]

is there a way to view the support gem selection page without a gem to open it with?

[subtle roost]

no

[safe flame]

i am doing literally anything humanly possible

[agile hemlock]

When a passive says +50% mana leech….

What’s the base percentage?
How much mana do I sap with every attack? It doesn’t say…

[subtle roost]

I'm also playing SSF and haven't had many issues. idk what to tell you and can't really suggest other things if you're "doing everything possible"

[subtle roost]

default is 0

so +50% of zero is zero

[gilded wadi]

None unless you have something like "5% physical attack damage leeched as mana" on some gear

[agile hemlock]

So if you have 50%
Then you multiply 0 by 50%?

[jaunty crystal]

you weapon has 4% mana leech, passive will give 50% to that 4%, so like 6% instead of 4%

[stiff pivot]

Which support gems would make frostbolt freeze the most

[agile hemlock]

Weapon auto-has 4% mana leech?!

Oh I see

[stiff pivot]

control destruct, deep freeze + multiple projectile

[jaunty crystal]

if your weapon has it stated as mana leech

[subtle roost]

post your weapon

[agile karma]

whts the gauntlet that can become hnd of wisdom with orb of chnce?

[agile hemlock]

It’s pillar-caged god so not applicable

[pine palm]

do maps scale with level? or maybe with tiers? i am getting less and less exp

[subtle roost]

ok then, that doesn't have mana leech then?

[agile hemlock]

Alright, so by default +50% mana leech without a proper weapon means -> point goes to waste

[subtle roost]

yes

[agile hemlock]

[jaunty crystal]

same thing with crit chance, like you weapon might have 10% crit chance, but passives will boost that 10%

[gilded wadi]

yeah, you need something like this:

[agile hemlock]

Ah Damn
I don’t even use physical damage

Okay fine I’ll figure out how to regen mana

[jaunty crystal]

you still should have some hit dmg

but yes, depending on build you might not need passives for bonus % mana leech

[subtle roost]

weapons don't inherently leech mana

[thin cipher]

mana on kill is nice to have as well

[agile hemlock]

It’s a no go… I’m doing the OP monk HOWA build which doesn’t let me leech mana

Will have to figure out how to sustain mana in boss fight

[subtle roost]

as a monk I use this

works fine

[gilded wadi]

Just an FYI, getting max mana will often get you more mana regen then getting mana regen directly. Increasing your max mana ALSO increases how fast it regenerates.

[agile hemlock]

I have this anointed on my amulet

[vivid linden]

what are those numbers supposed to represent?
Here I can assign 3 points with my primary set, zero with the secondary. Why does it display 11? and 8? why (24)?

[subtle roost]

I also have clairty running

and 829 base mana

[jaunty crystal]

you have to reset points in order to assign same points on 2 different weapon sets

[vapid forge]

holy shit i had two buff skills that ive had for hours and hours but never right clicked to activate

[agile hemlock]

Ah yeah
I have 2000 mana base with 140 mana regen per second

Getting 30% more from clarity won’t do anything

Need to re-spec a lot of points

[vivid linden]

That's not the question. I can perfectly assign points as I wish.

[keen pecan]

how to leave current guild

[jaunty crystal]

by deafult you assign same points on 2 different weapon sets

[thin cipher]

the other day i was like man my ball lightning hasnt procced in a while and i looked and it got turned off somehow

[subtle roost]

both okish depending on pathing

[agile hemlock]

What kind of monk are you

[subtle roost]

CI Cold

[gilded wadi]

Because WS 1 has fewer points used up, you can assign some (3). In order to assign additional points for WS 2, you would need to un-spec some passives. The 24 is the max number of weapon set points you can allocate

[agile hemlock]

Oh YES I need these two nodes

[agile hemlock]

Don the crown build?

[subtle roost]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/6b47434c-462a-412e-964e-3b13bfe67cbc/builds/36032cb1-158b-4530-989e-506389626d70

my own

[worthy latch]

anyone carrying the temple of chaos ascendancy points poe2?

[vivid linden]

Thanks I get the (24). I still dont get 11 and 8. Here if I assign to my primary the 3 points I have available for it, 11 will go to 8. Then it will display 8 (24) for both.
What is 8? Is it the maximum number of points available if the character were level 100 or something?

[wicked scaffold]

So, just curios, how do the sanctum runner get all the boons? I see videos with ppl and they have like 20 boons.

[frigid lantern]

Can runes be socketed into corrupted items?

[gilded wadi]

8 would be the number of additional weapon set points you could allocate if you had more passive points available (either from levelling up or un-specing some)

[agile hemlock]

Given that I can kill trial master within 10 seconds

Can I do the same with breach boss ?

[heady inlet]

Is this Trial of Chaos bugged? Pressing switch is closing one gate and opening second but there are no Soul Cores

[subtle roost]

no

it's a puzzle

[jaunty crystal]

should be lucky run with gaining sacred water and merchants, i had a run with debuffs getting me to 0 sacred water, so i had 0 boons in the end, but next run had lots of sacred water and merchants - had 20 boons

[heady inlet]

How to solve it?

[agile hemlock]

If carry the core on your inventory for a solid 90 seconds and you’ll find out

[brave tundra]

Lf trial of sekemeth carry for 3rd ascendancy points

[vivid linden]

if you had more passive points available (either from levelling up or un-specing some)
So if all are assigned, it is indeed the number of points that would be available if I reached level 100? That's so convoluted.
Right now I'm lvl 91 and it displays 8 when everything is assigned 🤔 Why not 9?

[subtle roost]

pull levers, go up elevators

probably go down elevators too

[heady inlet]

There is only lever

It looks like I would need second player to pull level

[subtle roost]

It's not bugged. You can do it solo.

[vivid linden]

Why not '9'?

[worthy latch]

LF ascendancy points

[subtle roost]

#2┃looking-for-group

[jaunty crystal]

just in theory you should focus on gettend as less as possible of afflictions (looking for rooms ahead), then looking for rooms with free boons, then looking for rooms with sacred water or merchants if you already have sacred water

[heady inlet]

I getting stunned by statues when I pull lever

[jaunty crystal]

and if you have high honour resistance from relics then trial should be easy to do

[wicked scaffold]

Thx for your help.

[wicked scaffold]

I am lvl 94 have done it all. Never ever is this legit.

[upbeat geyser]

does anyone know why greater jeweller's orbs are so expensive?

[gilded wadi]

very rare

[gilded wadi]

wait, are you saying that number of boons can't happen legitimately? Yes it can

[wicked scaffold]

How?

[gilded wadi]

Merchants are a huge part of it

I have gotten that many before with only 3 or 4 afflictions

Most of the time I don't.... but I have gotten lucky

If you get a good merchant, you could get 4 or 5 boons all at once

[subtle roost]

???

[ebon hearth]

what makes bonestorm gain more range?

[subtle roost]

this is like every single run for me

[clear mesa]

is there a reliable way of getting jeweler's orbs? I've only had 3 lessers drop and I'm in mapping

[wicked scaffold]

how?

[subtle roost]

merchants have additional options, more sacred water

[wicked scaffold]

relics i guess ?

the 3 more options bla

[subtle roost]

yes, relics are a core part of sekhemas

[gilded wadi]

Spec atlas into Local Knowledge and farm maps in the right biomes

[wicked scaffold]

can we stack the 3 more options ?

[subtle roost]

yes

[gilded wadi]

Still may take a while..

[wicked scaffold]

so we get 6 9 more boons per merchant ?

[subtle roost]

there's 1 guaranteed merchant at the end of each floor

plus you can path to others

[wicked scaffold]

what do your relics look like

besides resi

[untold heath]

where can I check my current stun threshold?

[subtle roost]

additional options, resistance, damage against monsters, max honor

[wicked scaffold]

my plan was to stack 45% avoid afflictions

but after seeing that stuff ~

relics/boons trivialize sekhemas

[wet breach]

Which boss drops hands of wisdom furtive wraps?

[tawny thistle]

Hi is it true that without stacking rarity of items found i basically wont get any decent loot. Because i have been playing since day 1 and grinding tier 15 maps non stop. And im only getting uniques worth 1 exal orb. And never seen any tier 6 7 8 item.

[wicked scaffold]

@subtle roost thats just evasion no ?

[subtle roost]

no. evasion has entropy

[gilded wadi]

Tiered items only go up to T5

[subtle roost]

I'm being hit and wind dancer is damaging the boss

I bought a boon that negates all damage in the next room

[wicked scaffold]

so how many relics with more options do you run ?

3x3 ?

[tawny thistle]

How about unique items that are worth alot of divine orbs

[subtle roost]

2 works well enough imo

[wicked scaffold]

hmm hmm

[gilded wadi]

Unless you are farming a boss specific drop, those are never going to be common really

[tawny thistle]

Even with 400 increased rarity?

How are people making 100 divine orbs to make their builds?

[gilded wadi]

obviously that will have an effect

[wicked scaffold]

Thx @subtle roost !

[gilded wadi]

High item rarity and really juiced up maps

And farming end-game bosses (ie. Breach)

[tawny thistle]

Can you do those bosses in party or only solo?

[gilded wadi]

Solo

Some people are spending tens of exalts to juice a single map, so they get far better rewards out of that map

They can regularly get multiple divines per map

[tawny thistle]

Is there a guide

I really want to learn how to farm divines and good items

[pale swallow]

why do so many people want this?
i got like 20 messages when it was 5 ex

[fathom roost]

theres also an item that gives other party members MF so the strat is max party size (which adds mf passivly) with 2-3 dpsers and the others wearing the mf to others gear so they get absurdly high mf per map

[gilded wadi]

tons of things on Youtube, but basically comes down to using delirium oils and precursor tablets

[subtle roost]

chance base probably

[wicked scaffold]

@subtle roost Is the dmg vs monsters a multi ?

[tawny thistle]

Which belt do i need to use orb of chance on to make it into ingenuity belt?

[pale swallow]

do you mean crafting it from base?
if so why spend so much in a low roll

[subtle roost]

checking

[subtle roost]

no. using a chance orb on it, hoping it turns into a unique

possibly astramentis

not sure tho

[pale swallow]

ohh

[subtle roost]

also just a guess

[gilded wadi]

I don't think you can chance that. I think that is a boss drop.

[subtle roost]

yeah, you can't chance ingenuity

[tawny thistle]

How about dreamfragment ring?

[subtle roost]

additive. you want monster dmg tho

which is probably also additive

bosses are monsters

[upbeat geyser]

if i only have 1 divine what should i spend it on?

[wicked scaffold]

additive in his own bucket until 100% is a multi so IDK

thats sounds like a own bucket

[tawny thistle]

What ring do i use orb of chance on to get dreamfragment ring?

[subtle roost]

[wicked scaffold]

got that last run

[subtle roost]

not bad

[wicked scaffold]

relics are so cheap i just buy what i need tbh

3 of theese was my plan

just not worth it

[subtle roost]

I don't think that's ideal

fiendish wings would entirely negate the top mod

[full sleet]

Think our map bugged out, map is not complete but all mobs are dead, is there a way around it to get the completion?

[subtle roost]

don't believe so

[wicked scaffold]

fiendish wings?
Cant mod speed ?

[subtle roost]

yes

[wicked scaffold]

hmm hmm

[subtle roost]

Fiendish Wings states: "Monsters' Action Speed cannot be slowed below base. Monsters have 30% increased Attack, Cast and Movement Speed."

[wicked scaffold]

yeah its not worth it in general afflictions are w/e with 20 boons

[fast jasper]

when i go for a tower can i just use a shit lvl 1 map or does the tower take on the affixes of the waystone?

[subtle roost]

you can use a t1

there's a case to be made for running your current quest tier, but meh

[wicked scaffold]

ppl say you want higher maps for citadells etc but thats all bullshit

t1 is enough

[full sleet]

isn't citadell t15 only

[wicked scaffold]

context

[native escarp]

how can I gamble in my hideout?

[gilded wadi]

you cant

[wicked scaffold]

you dont

[subtle roost]

you can't. go to the zigg refuge.

[fleet vessel]

how tf am I running out of maps when I'm fully specced into sustain???
running my 3rd tier 9 maps, and have gotten only 1 map AT T9, nothing higher.

[subtle roost]

what are you doing

[native escarp]

ok, thanks all

[gilded wadi]

doing boss maps and breach?

[fleet vessel]

Rare maps, hitting up towers whenever I can and this is my atlas

[gilded wadi]

and reforging lower maps into higher ones?

[fleet vessel]

I don't have enough for that lol, but I try yes

[subtle roost]

are you irradiating maps

[wicked scaffold]

thats what you want in non HC

for highest waystone droprate

[charred island]

Can anyone help me a bit - I’ve just completed the campaign and a bit unsure about maps

[fleet vessel]

why would I need waystone rarity?

[subtle roost]

ask your question

waystone rarity is mid

[wicked scaffold]

@fleet vessel rare drop more prefixes more quant ele waystone droprate because notes etc

[cunning nymph]

Getting this error when trying to goto the trial of time for the first time. I've created a new sekhema trial instance but that didn't work. Any ideas?

[sleek carbon]

Anyone running into this issue with exile exchange 2?

[subtle roost]

possibly have to wait 20 mins

[fleet vessel]

but I can just upgrade them no?
so rarity is meaningless in this insatnce

[wicked scaffold]

can drop when you slam your maps y

[charred island]

Ok so I’ve got a yellow weystone with better stats. Do I just use that - pick any area and complete it?

[cunning nymph]

does my entire trial ever reset or am I good?

[wicked scaffold]

do you use ex on your maps ?

[subtle roost]

don't think so

it may already be lost though. I have no idea.

[fleet vessel]

trans -> aug -> regal

[wicked scaffold]

yeah then use rarity

[cunning nymph]

losing my fourth ascendency on my first attempt due to server errors. That's amazing

[fleet vessel]

but that won't make higher tier maps drop - which is my issue

[wicked scaffold]

6 affix rare drop

= more waystone droprate

[fleet vessel]

1 in 20, it seems like a mid stat
(number pulled out of my ass)

[primal fern]

Ok noob question: is there a way to reset the map?

[wicked scaffold]

i drop min 4 rare maps per map

[subtle roost]

define "map"

[wicked scaffold]

200+ rarity t15 juiced maps

[fleet vessel]

I'll give it a try rn

[primal fern]

The map, not atlas. Post-campaign.

[subtle roost]

not really

if you die it wipes the mods and you have to do it again

[high glade]

anyone know what 'reduced experience' is from?

[subtle roost]

so you can kill all but 1 rare, die, and then run it again lol

[high glade]

did something roll over improperly

[lost moat]

bruh what is this drop

[wicked scaffold]

seen that like 4 times today reddit etc

[subtle roost]

traps can drop from ultimatum. they're not actually supposed to be in the game yet

[high glade]

huh

its the item base type that will come with the Shadow class

[fast jasper]

How can i get back to the lady in act 6 with venom draught quest when i travel to camp its on otherside of portal and portal is closed ?

[silk schooner]

difficulty 0 king of the mist anything special compared to difficulty 2-3 expedition guy ?

[zealous gull]

I tried the 4th ascend and cleared it first try, not much trouble even if I went blind on the last boss but my build MELT bosses

[crimson anvil]

There is a node in the skill tree that says "now you can evade everything but 40% less evesion"
so what cant we evade normally?

[subtle roost]

AoE, spell hits

[crimson anvil]

Like chaos explosions?

[wraith flare]

can someone come one shot the trialmaster, before I one shot myself

[jagged hound]

You can dodge spell hits in 2

[subtle roost]

pretty sure it works against anything except dots

[crimson anvil]

dc again?

[jagged hound]

Isnt it 70% less

[subtle roost]

dodging is not evading

[jagged hound]

You can evade spell hits in 2

[crimson anvil]

yeah i think you are right

[jagged hound]

As long as its a projectile

[subtle roost]

that's correct according to the tooltip

so protection against slams mostly

which a lot of things do

[crimson anvil]

you mean it doesnt protect against slams right?

[subtle roost]

Acrobatics does

[crimson anvil]

cuz its saying slams are not strikes

[subtle roost]

context is what acrobatics does

So you can't evade dots and you can't normally evade slams

taking Acrobatics lets you evade all forms of hits

[onyx copper]

does catalyst have item find bonus increase?

[crimson anvil]

yeah yeah true

[subtle roost]

item find is not in the game

Rarity has no associated tag

[mint pivot]

To get specific acro can allow you to evade quadrilla's leap for example, or the giant vulture's leap, things like this.

[foggy hatch]

how can you use multiple orb at the same time ? I have to click on the orb each time i want to use it...

[onyx copper]

rip

[mint pivot]

Also works against boss slams but I wouldn't count on it for that

[onyx copper]

ye i meant the drop% rarity on kill thing
xd

[subtle roost]

bosses probably have high accuracy

[crimson anvil]

i have 85% evation rating, i wonder if taking Acrobatics good or not. I might just try it and see

[subtle roost]

probably good at that %

[mint pivot]

Well less that and more gambling your boss run on 70% chance is inadvisable.

Could save you if you mess up though

[iron sun]

hey, an asian player sent me this, what does it mean?

[mint pivot]

I've seen people say acro is good at 70ish% but I have no experience with the keystone myself so yeah I'd just say test it out a few maps and see how it feels.

[crimson anvil]

its the chaos exlosions that you dont see or the blood pools that are killing me mostly. sometimes you just dont see them when you are on auto pilot

[mint pivot]

Which chaos explosions?

[subtle roost]

Volatile Plants?

[crimson anvil]

in ritual maps for example, sometimes you get the tornedo and sometimes the purple balls

[sacred oar]

ive been running lvl 15 maps like crazy, where do lvl 19 gems come from??

[subtle roost]

I think the way the tornado is set up is just rippy for any evasion-centric build. you're going to get entropy'd because it hits so quickly.

[mint pivot]

Yeah that tornado doesn't even hurt my warrior. Ritual is pretty scary for characters with low cc/hit pool though

[crimson anvil]

yeah the tornado isnt the problem at least you can see it coming to you and dodge it but the purple balls, these hit you from nowhere

[subtle roost]

yeah, the volatile plants are annoying

[mint pivot]

Acro will work on those, just not degen effects

[subtle roost]

they have a phys component and a chaos component to their damage iirc

CI doesn't fully protect against them

[lime cargo]

Is there an easy way to collect them?

[subtle roost]

?

use a loot filter

[mint pivot]

A stricter loot filter

[tranquil forge]

Hiding all loot and reshowing it helps allining the names too the correct position

[mint pivot]

Yeah double tap z as well

[tranquil forge]

But yes stricter lootfilter is the correct answer

[lime cargo]

What is the shortcut

[subtle roost]

erhm, actually they're called Item Filters and the default is none

[lime cargo]

can you send me the link

[subtle roost]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1h9tu1c/neversinks_poe2_litefilter_highlights_all/

[mint pivot]

They're already using that one as far as I can tell

[worn copper]

hey should I be full clearing maps or nah?

[subtle roost]

if you're having trouble with waystone sustain, consider it

[tranquil forge]

Depends on the mood

But I say nah

Just get all rares and league mechanics

[mint pivot]

Within reason, I wouldn't backtrack half the map for 30 monsters remaining, but clearing most of it is advisable

[hoary sequoia]

Does anyone know if utility belt instant recovery stacks with a potion that has instant recovery

[lime cargo]

Yes, I already use what you threw away, I wanted to ask if there is a shorter method to collect it, but it was enough to learn that it went to the right places when I turned it off and on.

[worn copper]

thanks yall 🙏

[subtle roost]

oh, pressing z will toggle labels which will put the loot labels closer to the actual loot

allowing you to pick it up

consider adjusting your loot filter to not show trash

[wooden prairie]

How do you get heat proofing on an amulet? I’m following a minions build guide, but I don’t know how to craft it on there. lol

[subtle roost]

I'm guessing that's a notable from the passive tree

use distillations

[mint pivot]

If you press alt on any notable on the tree it will tell you what emotions are needed to anoint that node.

[wooden prairie]

Controller

[open spire]

why do people buy ventors ring? I dont understand the mods

[subtle roost]

requires some combo. right click a Distilled emotion to open the bench for it

[vapid forge]

is there any way to tell when ive completed a map? i know the thing pops up at the bottom for a few seconds but i miss it sometimes

[lavish dust]

bruh I haven't seen an expedition logbook in years

[wooden prairie]

Oh I didn’t even know instilling was a thing no idea what that is

[mint pivot]

I can tell u when I get to PC, otherwise it should be on poe2db

[subtle roost]

resistances, spirit, life, and rarity are all sought-after mods

[lavish dust]

am I missing something to increase their odds or? Running level 81+ maps and can't find a single one

[subtle roost]

right click a Distilled emotion to open the bench for it

[open spire]

but that ring has negative cold and fire and item rarity lol

[mint pivot]

The mods are good as cat said, they just have large ranges, hence the "gamble"

[gilded wadi]

The mods are extremely random. Sometimes, you will have +rarity and +all resistances. You could theoretically get 80 life, 20 spirit, 40 rarity, andf 40 to each res.

[subtle roost]

yeah, it's trash. the rolls are variable.

[austere fossil]

is there any site i can use to see all the current uniques in the game?

[subtle roost]

hold alt over items

poe2db

[austere fossil]

ty

[mint pivot]

Just variance, keep an eye out for any remnants that give logbook chance

[lavish dust]

alright thx

[wooden prairie]

Ohh thanks I see now I have no idea where to get these distilled emotions, but disgust disgust and greed.

[subtle roost]

currency exchange

[mint pivot]

On the overlay map in the top right it will say map complete beneath the zone name/league/server etc

[mint pivot]

They come from the delirium mechanic, but yeah trading will be fastest.

[warped tapir]

these are my resistances in my hideout post campaign. I'm naked and not wearing any gear. Did I miss some upgrades in the Campaign? It seems odd my lightning res is a lot lower than Fire/Cold

[wooden prairie]

I just traded for them. Where do I use them at? lol

[upbeat geyser]

is it worth running white or blue t1 maps just to progress atlas? i'm literally stuck on my quest because i can't clear a t3 and am struggling with t2s, still dying almost half the time

[fleet steppe]

I don't accept random DMs btw (just saw this). In the future for these type of sidebar conversations, feel free to open a thread so it doesn't clutter up the main channel 👍🏼

[mint pivot]

I don't know the controller controls, but you should be able to interact with the emotion directly and it will open the menu.

[wooden prairie]

Thanks I got it

[mint pivot]

You really want to progress your quest, but blue maps are perfectly fine for doing so. Your build may need some tuning to survive

[subtle roost]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/permanent-stats-from-campaign

[gilded wadi]

You should have gotten lightning res from "Spires of Deshar"

[upbeat geyser]

it's kinda dumb that there's nothing i can do besides "somehow get divines so i can buy gear"

[subtle roost]

if you're doing t3s then you can probably buy what you need to advance for 1-2 exalts

[tranquil forge]

Well you can get very far with just a bit of ex gear

But that summaries one of my biggest complaints with the game:

Don't farm boss keys, farm money too get boss keys

[tiny shard]

So im trying to go back and do my trials of ascendancy now but I can not find where to use the djinn barya... this is frustrating because the old one you could just tp right to it and it was very clear and much easier to understand

[young saddle]

Can anyone help me understand why boneshatter keeps missing? sorry for the quin audio in the background. Is it something I'm doing or do I need to invest in accuracy rating?

[mint pivot]

Yeah some 2 or 3 affix gear goes a long way

[gilded wadi]

You do not need divines for most builds to do T15s comfortably. Do you know that the trade site is ordering gear by cost incorrectly between divines and exalts?

[upbeat geyser]

i already have a full set of 1-2 ex gear

[tiny shard]

Anyway can anyone help me find where to get my 5th and 6th ascendancy points ?

[subtle roost]

big thing in the center of the room

[subtle roost]

get better gear

[tiny shard]

What room? What way point?

[tranquil forge]

Like too get too t15 ish a full set worth a divine should work very well

So Luke 10 ex a piece

[lavish dust]

btw on that note, you know whether Olroth spawns in any level of logbook or does it have to be a high one (if so how high?)

[subtle roost]

A2, trial of the sekhemas

[tiny shard]

Where is that ?

[warped tapir]

With the newest patch that makes all Resistance penalties equal in endgame, what is the max lower resistance penalty you get in T15 maps?

Pre-patch Reddit said it was -80% elemental but you get 20% from acts so net Minus 60% All res. Is that still accurate?

[bleak urchin]

barya? the coin?

[upbeat geyser]

so am i basically just stuck farming in t1s until i can upgrade each piece of my gear

[tranquil forge]

Act 2 top of the map

We don't have a instant to for that for some reason

[tiny shard]

Ok thanku

[subtle roost]

I don't think you need to upgrade each piece of your gear before progressing

[tranquil forge]

No? Once the quest says do t2s

Do t2s

[bleak urchin]

didin't you have a divine? 😮

[upbeat geyser]

yeah but i find that it doesn't feel like it's worth my time to progress if i'm dying excessively

[subtle roost]

you can do it in chunks

[upbeat geyser]

i have 1 lol

[bleak urchin]

easy upgrades

[subtle roost]

turn it into exalts, buy better gear

[mint pivot]

Far as I can tell logbooks only drop in t11+ maps anyways. I've had Olroth in a 79 logbook, but I can't say for certain past that if he has a lower area level limit.

[torn plank]

should I be aiming to have the 75% resists like in PoE1 or just enough that I'm not dieing?

[bleak urchin]

@upbeat geyser do this

[upbeat geyser]

what kind of gear should i be looking for

[subtle roost]

there is zero reason to be stuck on t3 with a DIVINE

[gilded wadi]

75% (barring advanced cases)

[tranquil forge]

What's your class/build?

[upbeat geyser]

fire stormweaver

i know lightning is best but i don't have the mana or money to sustain it

[tranquil forge]

Well ok

I assumed that would help me give you more info

It doesn't

In general goal is:
75% all elemental Res
Life on each piece
Mana/mana regeneration

And probably es

[upbeat geyser]

already have that, capped res 1.7k life 400 es 1k mana

[subtle roost]

post your character screen

[tranquil forge]

That's actually really solid

[subtle roost]

hover over your primary skill and post a screenshot of it

[tranquil forge]

Then next: what's your damage

[mint pivot]

You shouldn't be falling over so easily with those stats

[upbeat geyser]

i'm usually fine until i run into a pack of mobs that do giant physical or chaos damage that just one shots me with no counterplay

[tranquil forge]

Sounds like a "can't one shot enemy" problem too me

[upbeat geyser]

https://i.imgur.com/ZWFUTky.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/hkXZRqi.png

[mint pivot]

Are you using fireball?

Or what's your main clear skill?

[subtle roost]

press G

screenshot that window

[mint pivot]

What are the supports on it?

[lavish dust]

ok so lv79 works, thanks!

[upbeat geyser]

scattershot wildshard tempo

[plain raven]

Does the utility belt implicit "20% life recovery is instant" stack with the flask mod? Like can you get 50% instant recovery from flasks?

[subtle roost]

probably

[gilded wadi]

yes

[plain raven]

cool, thanks

[upbeat geyser]

That's fine then, can we see your staff/wand/focus?

[tribal hornet]

what level should you try your 3rd and 4th ascension?

[subtle roost]

[mint pivot]

Ok well the blasphemy won't help you against a bunch of ranged chaos, which most of it is. Your damage should be good so you just need more chaos res and to abuse your range. Throw fireball out before stuff is even on your screen just to clear a path. Frost wall is also a good defensive and single target tool to help you not get overwhelmed in melee

[sacred oar]

real talk how do i even level past ~88-90, t15 maps give me so little exp, is this just the grind i am in for lol

[sand rampart]

is there any benefit to doing multiple breaches simultaneously? or is it safer to just do one at a time?

[fleet steppe]

yeah youhave like no defenses. you need much more ES. I'm playing a life/armour char and have 1800 life but also 8k armour on top of that. The armour you're missing has to be made up for with ES

[fleet steppe]

yes

[mint pivot]

Don't die. It's slow going

[upbeat geyser]

so should i just unspec a bunch of my damage/curse nodes for ES

i'm not high enough level to spec damage curse and ES at same time i can only pick 1.5-2 of those

[fleet steppe]

for a ranged character I did Asc 3 at like 72 and it was really easy (trial with area level 68)

[gilded wadi]

Those levels are just "chase" levels typically. By that point, your build should be "done" and you will be able to do all content without getting those additional skill points. Those levels will take a very long time.

[tribal hornet]

bro i tried my 3rd at lvl 46 lmaooooo i didnt know when to do it which is the only reason i did it so early

[bleak urchin]

first i'd go trough that gear if you haven't upgraded any, spend some exalts on it, it helps aaalot

[craggy tiger]

so I have 4 of these, can I use 1 to get my 3rd ascendency and then use another to get my 4th right away? or is the key for the 4th one different

[fleet steppe]

well the area level "60" should have tipped you off regardles.....

[upbeat geyser]

what level/mods should i be looking for on gear?

[tranquil forge]

My intuition tells me this is a play style Problem.

It is a ranged character so you never want too run into a enemy group

[fleet steppe]

4th is diff, need 4 trials (and lvl > 75? or 80?)

[gilded wadi]

No one is even at level 100 yet - it is slow.

[mint pivot]

Only time efficiency, but no direct loot benefits other than more monsters to keep the breaches open longer.

[bleak urchin]

75

[upbeat geyser]

i am aware of that but a lot of times i'm getting one shotted even while not in melee range

[tribal hornet]

you already answered the question you can hush now thank you

[craggy tiger]

gotcha alr, do I have the ability to have 4th keys drop yet? or do I have to do my 3rd first

[upbeat geyser]

and somehow my enfeeble doesnt hit them for whatever reason

[bleak urchin]

maybe but 400 ES sounds low but i'm not a stormweaver so

[tiny shard]

Some death crystal killed me idk how... but now i need my 3rd ascendancy still and don't have a djinn can I buy one or is there a way to get more in game ?

[gilded wadi]

4th keys will drop in area level 75+

[craggy tiger]

also do loot runs of temple of chaos drop relics for temple of sekhema

[shut coral]

i just traveled back in time, how far am I from Viper fight? Im on HC and first time getting this far

[craggy tiger]

oh gotcha ok

ty!

[fleet steppe]

close

[mint pivot]

I believe it has a slight delay, but also the AOE is limited. If I'm honest any ES nodes are going to be better defense than your curse nodes.

[shut coral]

thank you

[mint pivot]

If you want curse effectiveness for damage or defense against bosses you can set that up in a weapon swap

[charred island]

Looking for a good lightning sorceress build - just completed acts - can anyone point me in the right direction please

[tiny shard]

How to get a djinn to go to the trial of sekmeha ?

[upbeat geyser]

welp ok i'll just take off all my curse stuff for ES stuff then

1.3k ES now

[mint pivot]

Like the first trial? It's a quest in act 2 traitors passage

[tiny shard]

Its for my 3rd ascendancy

[mint pivot]

With that much ES grim feast is also a good use for your spirit

[tiny shard]

I already got 4 points so far

[mint pivot]

It's a random drop, needs to be a 60+ barya or 75+ ultimatum and you must have completed the campaign

[wise quest]

Any of yall bought a hideout waypoint? Bought one and it isn’t showing up

[tiny shard]

I did i just entered it but I lost a death crystal got me but now I need another map to try again

[warped tapir]

What is the Total Resistance Penalty at high level maps? I'm having some trouble understanding the patch.

[gilded wadi]

60%

[upbeat geyser]

this basically means EB is in the bin then

[gilded wadi]

No additional penalty from maps - only from campaign

[upbeat geyser]

until i get like 4k life at the very least

[storm raven]

why can i not assign jewel sockets on passive tree when using weapon set points??

[gilded wadi]

Weapon set points cannot go through jewel sockets

[warped tapir]

and if you do campaign, you get +20% all res so the net is minus 40%?

[gilded wadi]

yes

[mint pivot]

EB will kill your defense if you aren't running MoM too

[wise quest]

How do I contact support

[upbeat geyser]

don't you need an absolutely absurd amount of mana regen to use EB and MOM

[ripe remnant]

whats the ring called that switches up all the elements? that does electric->frost and changes the rest too?

[wise quest]

Pretty much

And max mana

[mint pivot]

Just need a new one they're random drops

[upbeat geyser]

aka insanely rich

[mint pivot]

Yes

[upbeat geyser]

i...see

[wise quest]

I’m using MOM + CI + EB

[ripe remnant]

to be fair, EB increase your mana and mana reg by quite a lot

[upbeat geyser]

sucks there are no budget friendly EB MOM builds

[gilded wadi]

Hmm there is a helmet that does that - Three Dragons

[surreal summit]

I can’t remember who or what it was but someone sent an awesome video guide to how to optimize expedition does anyone have a good link? I got 2 logbooks and kinda wanna do my best with them

[storm raven]

but when i use weapon set points up until the jewel socket then switch back to regular skill points i cant allocate it either

[wise quest]

Well you don’t spec into it until like 66

[ripe remnant]

oh i thought it was a ring, explains why i couldn't find it 😄

[proven saffron]

Does the Trialmaster inherit the afflictions from the trials?

[ripe remnant]

i swear i saw a similar ring, maybe im dumb

[gilded wadi]

regular points can't go after weapon set points

[upbeat geyser]

i'm 72 and still cant spec into it due to not enough points on tree and not enough money for gear lol

[fleet steppe]

60% all ele, but you get 20% all ele from permanent buffs in the campaign. So really, 40.

[wise quest]

That means you didn’t spec right into it let me see your skill tree

[ripe remnant]

sucks that the only item that gives EB is a lvl <30 smth

[upbeat geyser]

there's no way a level 66 viably has the points or money to go that build

[wise quest]

By 75 I had everything

[ripe remnant]

would be amazing to have it on other higher level gear

[mint pivot]

It isn't that expensive to get it working. It's important to know that you need to scale only mana, not energy shield.

[sweet niche]

for people running the ultimatum farm for currency, thats only doable post-campaign right? and im guessing you need to be very high lvl with good gear for it?

[ripe remnant]

whats ultimatum farm?

[upbeat geyser]

even when i tried out EB earlier i lost 700 ES for like 400 mana

made 0 sense

[sweet niche]

they use the ultimatum keys on chaos trials to sell the cores for like 3-4 exalted per core

and one of the cores sells for like 350 exalted, for some reason

[ripe remnant]

maybe we will get more items with EB on gear when they add more uniques 🙂

[upbeat geyser]

https://i.imgur.com/7zLH2TM.jpeg

there doesn't exist a build guide for my class + spec so i had to come up with this myself by piecing together like 4 different guides lol

[wise quest]

Yeah u can’t rlly go left at all as soon as I was like 70ish I refunded all left and went right

[ripe remnant]

your whole top left thing is weird, you can get firedmg bonus also by going for EB

[mint pivot]

EB does not care about your energy shield scaling.

It takes your base ES, converts it, then scales it based on mana scalars

[ripe remnant]

so all +max ES are basically useless^^

[upbeat geyser]

there are no fire damage nodes in upper right where EB is

[mint pivot]

So basically all the ES nodes on tree are dead with EB you only care how good the ES on your gear is

And then you want mana nodes

[upbeat geyser]

i found a few mana nodes but it doesnt seem as common as ES for some reason

so i reverted

so if there doesn't exist a guide for my class am i pretty much forced to yolo it or something

[mint pivot]

Yeah ES is very good on tree right now.

I mean you have to figure out your own build if you're doing some crazy shit

But there is almost definitely a fire stormweaver build out there

[wise quest]

Here’s mine if it helps @upbeat geyser

[queen cloak]

How do people deal with HP loss from Demon Form and can i use it with Cl?

[wise quest]

Also kinda no point if you can’t afford an everlasting gaze

[mint pivot]

People usually run a tiny hp pool and scale flat Regen, or they just cap their demon form if they can't do that.

CI doesn't work

[queen cloak]

Hmm

[mint pivot]

Remember that demon form doesn't care about your weapon so you can invest your currency elsewhere

[night forge]

Can not be used with CI. They deal with the hp loss by reducing max life. There is a single energy shield node on the tree that reduces max life. Ghostwrithe body converts half of life to energy shield. Ming's heart rings also reduce max life.
After reducing max life as much as possible find a rare amulet or some other items with flat life regen.

[mint pivot]

Yep what they said

[queen cloak]

I think i get the idea, thanks!

Sounds like a plan

[tardy wave]

So im new to endgame and poe. I get one shot in waystones and i have bad resistences

[queen cloak]

But no Cl hurts... Chaos res is insanely hard to cap :/

[tardy wave]

So if i fix resistences can i take a hit in endgame with monk?

[night forge]

ghostwrithe and mings heart rings both give chaos res btw

[fleet steppe]

no, + max ES works fine, Incr Maximum ES is worthless

flat is counted up before conversion

[queen cloak]

Why does Mathil have no weapons with his demon form essence drain build?

[mint pivot]

Theoretically, would need to know your HP/es/evasion

[worn swallow]

what the hell im supposed to do in augury map? i did 3 levers still cant get into middle arena to kills last 2rares

[wise quest]

How to reset an instance on controller?

[mint pivot]

Demon mommy mode doesn't use your weapon

[queen cloak]

Oh

[rustic tusk]

i need something to know .. since https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/The_Trialmaster is easy is there any other boss with lootable i should know about? .. i mean are there any drops at specefic bosses?

[upbeat geyser]

i can save this for later i suppose ty

[night forge]

Yeah this is why some people also take the life reservation node to get some additional spirit since they can't use sceptre. Although I've found that if you're not doing minions, getting an amulet with just flat life regen and spirit is enough. If you are doing minions, don't go demon form because it doesn't buff minions anyway

[mint pivot]

Yeah demon form is for spell slinging

Dog is nice to take some damage though

[night forge]

Yeah dog is gud. And putting second wind + ingenuity on demon form skill is good too btw @queen cloak . This way you'll be able to jump back in more quickly after clearing stacks.

[violet onyx]

Any fix for oasis 0 monsters remain bug ?

[mint pivot]

I thought the idea was to never leave demon form

Or is that giga expensive

[lapis gate]

Arcane blossom gives 15% mana recovery rate where most things in passive tree give mana regeneration. Is there a difference?

[night forge]

It's literally impossible to never leave without mastered darkness node to cap at 10. But it is possible to do an entire map without leaving with the right gear.

[queen cloak]

I would like this

[mint pivot]

Mana recovery rate affects things like mana flasks as well

[lapis gate]

Does it stack additively with mana regen or multiplicity

[night forge]

Because the stacks just continue building every second. So you can't never leave. It will always eventually be too much. But if you cap at 10 you're losing a lot of damage because some people are reaching hundreds of stacks.
My advice would be to take the cap at 10 node early. When you're able to stay in until demon form cooldown ends with second wind + ingenuity, that's a sign your gear is starting to be good enough and you might consider respeccing cap.
Otherwise you just surrender to keeping the cap node which allows you to use affix slots on things other than regen.

Just wanted to mention, you're going to get kicked out of demon form when you drop a portal anyway so, just saying.

[opal marsh]

does anyone have a spare level 10 or 11 uncut skill gem?

[worldly raptor]

Not sure it this is the right place, but how big do you guys think the difference between 20 and 30% move speed is? It drives the prices up like crazy but doesn't seem that worth it

[lapis gate]

30% movespeed is really cheap lol

[mellow wolf]

why is my map drop rng so ass? im running t8 and max i drop is t5

[mint pivot]

Additive afaik but don't quote me on that

[bleak urchin]

if i convert 80% of this to cold, this means i do 100% of the damage just less cold ailment? no weird conversion shanigans there?

[lapis gate]

Unless ur talking about a level cap with 30% or smthn

[worldly raptor]

Depends on your definition of cheap, but 5-6 good affixes + 30% is expensive for me

like it's either lose like 100 mana from base + some res for the 10% movespeed

I mean I can buy it but is it worth a div or 2 when I can get the same afffixes for like 20 ex but with 20% ms

[mint pivot]

5-6 affixes will never be cheap

But 20 ms is fine

[night forge]

blink helps a lot too yeah?

[worldly raptor]

yeah My question is moreso if the difference is big enough to be worth like 5-10* the price or 100 mana+ some res for the same price

[burnt owl]

does MoM work with pyromantic pact? like will incoming dmg reduce my infernal flame?

[lapis gate]

Imo movepseed is worth more but also if u really want to just buy mid boots with 30% and clear with them and then if doing a high tier map/boss swap em

[night forge]

It doesn't work. You have 0 mana with pyromantic pact

[mint pivot]

Its noticeable, but it's not necessary

I'd say go with the better stats unless you're already sailing through everything

[wind crag]

is anyone else figuring out how to fix this? it just happened to me

[toxic ferry]

What is this worth ? 🙂

[tribal pumice]

Nothing

[queen cloak]

Can someone explain to me how the Essence Drain and Contagion combo works? Do i cast Essence Drain, then Cotagion and just wait while it spreads or do i spam both buttons?

[worldly raptor]

I'm kind of struggling on high tier maps like t17-18 with dmg or res mod and delirium so I'll go for the stats then

[tribal pumice]

Ur adding stats then removing them per level

[subtle roost]

#price-check📉

[plain raven]

Do you actually need capped chaos res? I have been running t15s with just 10% from the flask quest and I haven't noticed anything glaringly wrong (lvl 91 atm)

[mint pivot]

It's ideal. Definitely 10 is questionable

[subtle roost]

spam ed per pack if you want. it has a hit and a dot. cotagion has a dot that spreads. edited for pedants

[night forge]

So long as an enemy has both on them when they die, it spreads. The sooner you can have both on the same dying enemy the better.
Unleash works with contaigion and makes it apply to 3 targets at once if that helps. Can also use chain on essence drain.

[mint pivot]

Is contagion no longer aoe?

Like the initial cast

[night forge]

This is correct, nor is it a projectile. It applies to single target at distance. Although it does have an area, this is only the area within which it can spread.

[plain raven]

Its just that it seems expensive to cap both in terms of currency and affix slots.. I could do so much more without

[mint pivot]

Look how they massacred my boy ...

[night forge]

This is why some people use it with unleash now. But also it doesn't just spread essence drain. It spreads any chaos dot, including poisons, including decaying hex linked with a curse, and it also apparently spreads curses themselves.

[night nebula]

Anyone know where I can find patch notes and future patch notes coming soon?

Just want to know if my sorc is gonna get nerfed agn

[mint pivot]

Yeah I'm sure it's fine I'm just a Poe boomer lol

[night forge]

I'm 32 years old, started playing first game in closed beta. I know what you mean.

[mint pivot]

Ok not that boomer

[drifting breach]

is 50ex too much for this?

[mint pivot]

2014 for me

[drifting breach]

2 wasted stats for me

with life and rating

[night nebula]

Yes

Try like 15ex

[night forge]

That's still most of the game's life but yeah

[drifting breach]

wait really?

[night nebula]

It's 79 max life less than 100 light radius is useless I can keep going

[drifting breach]

life means nothing

its just for mana, cast speed , res and mana regen

hmm ok

you convinced me I guess

[night nebula]

Yeah but why would someone only focus on those 3 stats

[peak wren]

Can I do the Trialmaster on level 84 ? I have ~ 50k dps (ice strike invoker)

[night nebula]

Sure it's nice but the others matter to

[drifting breach]

i mean

i cant use the other stats

I have CI

and accurcy is dead stat for mages

[peak wren]

what damage type does he do most of ? and is there anything I can do to prepare ?

[night nebula]

Exactly

[drifting breach]

i found basically same thing but non breach for 20ex

[night nebula]

If it was evasion that would be better than accuracy rating lol

[drifting breach]

this

basically same

but 30 ex cheaper

[night nebula]

Ok so upscale it to 35 ex

[drifting breach]

wdym upscale?

[night nebula]

His is not a max roll castspeed

And it's 20

...

[lament spear]

any tips how to scale damage on grenade merc? How to distinguish good crossbows in general? Im satisfied by clear but bossing sucks. just now i tried sekhema trials, reached 4th boss and died cus of attrition with empty mana flask

[night nebula]

The mana regen is higher but mana is lower

[drifting breach]

your saying I should resell for 35ex?

[night nebula]

Urs is better if u ask me

[night nebula]

Yes

[drifting breach]

nether are mine

im looking for ring upgrades

[drifting breach]

👍 good to know it was very good deal

[night forge]

Haven't done the fight yet so I have no idea how much dps is enough, but from watching others do it it's fairly clear that he does mostly phys. Armor math isn't great and it's hard to get life compared to es. Enfeeble and infernal hound and a few other ways to simply take less damage seem good.
Arctic armor is maybe good? Slow him down when he hits you. Slowing him in general is probably good. Temp chains or chill. Chronomancer slow in presence node etc

[night nebula]

Imma be straight with u I wouldn't pay anything higher than 35 for it and I have alot into my mage @drifting breach

[drifting breach]

its hard to find good rings

mine are poop also

[night nebula]

True my helmet was the cheapest part with 217mana

My wand was probably the most expensive

[keen wedge]

I just want to vent a little and say "F@!# volatile plants". I hate them so much.

[peak wren]

Noted !!! ty <3

[drifting breach]

i have 65 ex to upgrade my other ring slot, can I get some help if u dont mind? currently playing sorc spark mage

[peak wren]

I don't have armor, I mostly have evasion (72%) and I'm CI

[night nebula]

@drifting breach same here dm me rq

[peak wren]

smh should have been dealing more chaos damage

makes my job easier

[sharp goblet]

What are the scaling stats per player? More monster hp and less damage done or?

[mint pivot]

@peak wren https://poe2db.tw/us/The_Trialmaster#TheTrialmasterTheTrialmaster_ Here are his stats and attacks if you want a more concrete look.

[undone rock]

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

[night forge]

Haven't done any evasion builds. I'm all big ES. Dot builds seem especially good with slowing defense though. Easier to dodge while dots dot.

[peak wren]

Oh shit ? damn

[mint pivot]

More HP, slower ailment/stun buildup

[peak wren]

didn't know that existed

TYSM

[peak wren]

Yep

melee is like, I have to get in his bumhole and shove my staff in to do damage

[austere igloo]

I can't figure what's going on sometimes.
Sometimes I do extreme damage, sometimes like right now I do 0 damage. Like, really zero. Even the damage is very high my Cast On do not even work, for example, what would mean I do not even shock enemy.
It's happens only when I try to play crit-way.

The tempest furry is like 30k dps without any boost/during fight, meanwhile in fight it reaches 100k. (tooltip)

It's second time I try to swap to crit-way of playing and it once again either do shittong of damage or do not deal any damae at all.
Crit is 70%

Sometimes even white mobs getting hitted for like 20% of health with single hit of tempest flurry. And even hitting few times more won't kill them. Any ideas where to watch?

[night forge]

Looking at the above link. Apparently trialmaster has 0 chaos res. Win for chaos builds. Despair to make it negative and wither effigy totem = gg damage

[mint pivot]

IMO he's probably the easiest endgame boss. He's quite slow

afaik every boss has bad chaos res besides the King of the Mists

boss reses are weird

king is 0/0/0/50

[night forge]

Might even consider just throwing envenom support on any skill to take advantage of 0 chaos res

[split willow]

on the quests with the weird ass elexirs in Act 3, that give u permanent stats, what do you choose on monk? stun treshold or?

[pseudo swan]

what do you do when you run out of waystones? do you just have to keep doing t1's until you rng them?

[austere igloo]

You can buy some off Doryani's

[mint pivot]

Doryani sells tiers 1-5

you can 3-1 a waystone at the reforging bench to get a higher tier one

[pseudo swan]

I bought them all, do they refresh?

[peak wren]

[austere igloo]

After level up I think.

[mint pivot]

If your crit is 70 you should have no issues

what's your crit damge?

[austere igloo]

that the tooltip. Tho, 7% dropped somewhere, looks like. Still shouldn't matter i think.

[mint pivot]

You're using charged staff as well I suppose?

[austere igloo]

Yep.

[mint pivot]

What are the supports on those skills?

[austere igloo]

Charge: 100% more shock chance, light exposure, overcharge.
Flurry: martial tempo, ice bite, electrocute, rage.

[austere igloo]

I tried different build way earlier and it didn't worked as well(it was crit based too). Building anything else without crit works insanely good even with much lower dps on tooltip.

[mint pivot]

THose are some really low damage supports, are you relying on Heralds for your trash clear?

[storm forge]

is chaos resistance associated with elemental resistance ? its not right

[austere igloo]

Herald + Polcirklein build

[mint pivot]

Ok, so then you're struggling with single target more than clear I'm guessing?

[austere igloo]

My stormwave dps on tooltip RN is 34k in H/O.
Before that I played full phys, tooltip was like 27 and I had no problems killing bosses very fast even not having bell in build.

[austere igloo]

I'm no idea honestly. Sometimes they poofed, sometimes I deal like 1% damage per hit. I thought maybe its map mods, but there is none.

[split willow]

on monk, what do you choose for reward from "The Slithering Dead"?

[mint pivot]

Is that the venom draught quest?

[split willow]

ye

[mint pivot]

cruel or normal?

[split willow]

both, i haven't completed any of them cause i couldn't figure out what to take

[mint pivot]

I'd say mana regen for normal and chaos res for cruel unless you plan on going CI

[austere igloo]

I should penetrate all res with crits via Monk ascendency, but looks like it do not do anything. Otherwise Cast On would be spamming, isn't it?

[split willow]

hmm, i was thinking about stun treshold cause mobs stun me quite a lot though? but i guess u r right ❤️

Thank you!

[mint pivot]

Can I see your tree?

[mint pivot]

stun thresh is OK, but mana can become a big issue for monk on some builds

[austere igloo]

Is there a way to share right now via some tool? Or just screenshot.

[mint pivot]

Screenshot is fine unless you want to remake the whole tree elsewhere lol

[turbid kernel]

What does cast on crit have to do with penetrating res?

[austere igloo]

"I should penetrate resistance with crits from monk ascendency"
Penetration = more chance to shock, isn't it?
As well as im shocking good and sometimes i do not all.

[split willow]

@lament leaf can we get your allmighty opinion? xD

[turbid kernel]

But how do you know you're not?

[austere igloo]

Not what? Not shocking? Cast On Shock not goes off.
Sometimes it spamming like crazy. Sometimes it do not at all.

There is 'armour mod' on map, can it be a reason?

[turbid kernel]

What does that have to do with penetration?

Penetration makes you do more damage, which I think increases chance to shock. It doesn't make it guarnateed, you could be penetrating resistance but still not doing enough to guarantee shocking.

[mint pivot]

You should absolutely be taking those herald nodes above the crit wheel to the right of the evasion cluster

[austere igloo]

Penetration makes you do more damage, which I think increases chance to shock.
You just answered the question. 100k dps on tooltip is probably enough to cause shock, especially since I actually shock bosses, but it happens not constantly.

[mint pivot]

that notable is one of the most efficient damage boosts in the game

[austere igloo]

Ye, I know, thought about this, but no idea what to swap with.
It's adds 2k to tooltip, but probably much more when it scales

[turbid kernel]

Yeah, that just means you're not doing enough damage/have enough shock chance to consistently shock enemies

[mint pivot]

You're attacking so often that you don't need infinite crit chance, you could drop those crit chance nodes, the "critical exploit" wheel

[austere igloo]

My previous build had no shock bonuses in tree and I still was able to shock fine just with lightning wave. That's why I'm confused. I probably missed something/ do not understand something about crit builds.

[split willow]

hmmm, where do i even check my stun chance or smth? there is nothing under my stun protection stat and my boots give me like 198 stun treshold

[mint pivot]

Also the +25 dex node is really inefficient pathing, but I'm assuming you have no choice right now.

You'd rather solve that with gear/travel nodes

[austere igloo]

Yep, I like burned all divs to try this build from well-working previous one. First of all got problem with ES being useless without evasion, then had to figure out of rising up treshhold.

I still able to get back to previous one so im fine, just want this one to work.

[mint pivot]

I mean your investment in ES is kinda low if you're trying to go pure ES

[turbid kernel]

Crit is basically just a chance to do more damage by itself. That node makes it so when you crit you also ignore enemy resistances, which basically means you do even more damage when you crit an enemy with positive ele resists. Doing more damage means you're more likely to shock but doesn't guarantee it. Your base chance to shock an enemy is based on how much damage your hit does.

[mint pivot]

Like no spectral ward node, which is a lot of defense

[austere igloo]

Ye, still got few evasion+es items.

[austere igloo]

Oh, well, no evasion on body rn. I got full ES body it gives much more ES then hybrid previous one.

Brb, will check just in case.

[mint pivot]

for spectral ward + lead me through grace from invoker you would want a pure EVA chest.
