[drifting breach]

thats not how u wanan use it anyway

[prisma jolt]

I do

I wanna make a bossing skill tree

[drifting breach]

so u have 0% chance to hit but do big dmg

or high crit and do no extera dmg?

[spark charm]

whats the min rarity you should really have clearing maps

[drifting breach]

as much as u can afford to

[prisma jolt]

no, my boss weapon has 15% base crit while my normal weapon has 10%, so I'm at 50% usually, and 84% on bosses

[tepid vapor]

if I have this node, and 100% increased armour break, will it break every enemy's armor on heavy stun?

[drifting breach]

its not additive

tho?

[spark charm]

i have about 140 rn, but i have a much better amulet i wanna swap out to that would drop me to 100

[prisma jolt]

I just told you the stats I get, you believe what you want

[drifting breach]

then do that legit

if it will help u do high dif stuff

its generally worth going down a bit

[upper warren]

Can't do it with nodes that are necessary for pathing sadly, no

[prisma jolt]

thing is it would make sense, since on both weapon sets you'd be pathing

but whatever, ty*

[wooden delta]

ive never tried the weapon set system, say i have 4 avail skill points, wld i spend 2 points into set 1 and 2 into set 2, or i could spent 4 points in set 1 and 4 points in set 2?

[drifting breach]

i use weapon system myself

to have buffed up curses

so they hit a lot harder without any points spent

[wooden delta]

i was also thinking abt that exactly lol

[prisma jolt]

it's 4 4

[mint pivot]

You should be able to.

[wooden delta]

oh wow, then i legit have to revamp my skilltree then

[hazy bloom]

guys, how i get greater essence?

[prisma jolt]

ok, you can spec those upper nodes into the second set, but I have no clue how you can set the other ones on set 1

because in that picture the bottom points are used regardless of the set

[mint pivot]

in your picture or mine?

[prisma jolt]

in yours

[mint pivot]

mine are weapon set 1

[prisma jolt]

wait nvm true

I didn't notice the colour

HOW?

[mint pivot]

idk I just did it to test for u

[prisma jolt]

but how do you do it?

[mint pivot]

I think the divergences have to both be weapon sets

You aren't gonna like this but I think you have to respec basically your whole tree since that's in the starter zone

because currently your attack nodes are generic allocations rather than a weapon set

[raven ingot]

anyone know why I didn't get my last 2 arbiter skill points when I kill the boss?

[prisma jolt]

I think I can make it through another way, let me connect all the tree to the start through another way for both sets, then swap the nodes and remove the second path

[mint pivot]

well... Actually you can just respect a few points, take the nearby attribute nodes to connect the rest of the tree

then respec out of the attack nodes and make them weapon set

You just need to keep the first two skill speed nodes as general nodes

[prisma jolt]

so I did this and it won't let me remove the evasion nodes now

[mint pivot]

Hmmmm

[amber helm]

are the red nodes at the top actually allocated

the display can be very misleading sometimes

[candid venture]

I'm stuck in a Boss Arena on a map after killing it.... is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I can't click the "Arena" door label and it hasn't just opened up like it usually does...

[mint pivot]

Bug, exit to character select, relog, enter through start portal to finish rest of map

[prisma jolt]

yes, I checked now

[amber helm]

or its some second weapon set stuff

[candid venture]

Tyvm

[prisma jolt]

it is, so the top ones are second set, bottom ones set 1

[solemn canyon]

I would have assumed you need a third connection of normal passives, allocated set 1 and 2, then unallocate the extra link

[prisma jolt]

but someone showed me a picture of how it worked earlier

so it's possible, I just don't know why it doesn't work, let me give you all my starting tree

[solemn canyon]

wait, what's not working

[mint pivot]

Ok so I tried to respect out of my other node that wasn't connected to my faux weapon set connection

[prisma jolt]

but Idk why I can't unallocate the evasion points at the bottom

[mint pivot]

it wouldn't let me

the issue is that your weapon set nodes are connecting your tree, which you cannot do

so it needs to keep the evasion

[prisma jolt]

oof

[mint pivot]

because that's the true connection, otherwise upon weapon swapping your entire tree would die besides those weapon set starting nodes

[prisma jolt]

nah but that's what I'm saying

you could make it validate the tree when you're allocating nodes for a weapon set, to let you know that the tree isn't valid

[mint pivot]

It is valid though

[prisma jolt]

but I guess it's not like that

[mint pivot]

it's just bad

the game will not tell you your build is bad

[prisma jolt]

no, I mean you can't do what we wanna do here, connecting through different pathways on different weapon sets

[prisma jolt]

it's not bad for me

crit damage is more valuable in a situation than the other is all

[mint pivot]

nono, I mean having the evasion and the damage/speed nodes at the start is bad, the small ones

not your crit swap idea

[prisma jolt]

but I don't want those, that's what I'm saying

[mint pivot]

your placeholder you used is bad, obv

yeah ik

basically you can only use weapon sets as branches at the ends of things, or offshoots

[prisma jolt]

yeah, got it

[candid venture]

Yeah. Didn't work 😦 even changed characters. Tried logging out in the map, tried logging out in the refuge. Exited the client. The "Arena" label is still there, unclickable. Thanks though!

[mint pivot]

DId you place a portal in the arena?

if so it's doomed

you need the portal to be outside of it since you can't click the arena exit itself

[candid venture]

Like this

[mint pivot]

Yeah you can't get out

[candid venture]

Oh well. Sucky but not a big deal, I guess.

[mint pivot]

you would have to be re-entering through the entrance portal, or at least one outside of the arena

if u really want to finish map I can join you

and put a portal for you to tp to

[candid venture]

Sure! If you have a min that'd be great. I'll DM you.

[clear mesa]

my chaos resist seems capped at 27%. I'm at tier 3 mapping, is this normal?

[mint pivot]

Getting capped chaos res is pretty hard, just get what you can

well, getting capped chaos res without making the rest of your gear suck at least

[exotic gazelle]

i main ice nova and reached t16 maps AMA

[indigo spade]

map boss 25% rarity increase or 15% quantity?

which is better for my first points

[mint pivot]

like, actually just ice nova

or ice nova frostbolt

[prisma jolt]

can you mark a passive node as int for a set and dex for the other?

[brave trout]

where does the ingenuity utility belt drop`?

[exotic gazelle]

ice nova frostBOMB baby

[mint pivot]

ur sick in the head

respect

[exotic gazelle]

🤝

[mint pivot]

invitation from the king boss fight

[lyric agate]

i finally got 300 breach splinters... if i craft a breachstone, is that a one time use thing?

[mint pivot]

Yes, if you die in the breachstone it is gone

you can sell it to other players if ur scared

[lyric agate]

lol

[exotic gazelle]

inb4 you die on your first move

[brave trout]

but u get a book to make breaches better

[covert dragon]

does golden obi exist atm?

[cloud sun]

Can anyone run lv 82 xesht with me?

Hes so strong

😭 i cant one shot him. And even with 30% movement speed from boot i cant dodge everything

[exotic gazelle]

is it normal that my character dies just thinking about activating breach? how do yall even survive this bs?

[tranquil wagon]

can i do something with it sice i got a duplicate? going for the trialmaster door

[dim turtle]

how do i stop my character from flinched when i am hit.. stun charm does not do shit

if i could stop it my survivability would greatly increase

[spark charm]

how much honor are you supposed to have for ascendancy 3?

[flint cobalt]

In trials of sekhmet are boons/afflictions which affect monsters also affect bosses?

[gilded wadi]

yes

[gilded wadi]

stun threshold

[clear mesa]

what is the max block chance for an Infernalist?

[dim turtle]

Well is there an easy way to get more or smth

like jewel idk

[gilded wadi]

Jewels, gear, passives - many things can affect stun threshold

Are you CI by any chance? I THINK that stunning by default considers your max health so CI builds have a disadvantage

[rustic swallow]

Holy shit it works

[clear mesa]

can I put anything other than sockets into my socket holes?

[rustic swallow]

If you gain frenzy charges on weapon set 2 then swap to weapon set 1, you keep the charges

[spark charm]

wait so if i complete a trails of sekhema with 2 trials it will give me more slots to put relics in?

[mint pivot]

well that seems wrong, but it's a win lol

[rustic swallow]

Still not sure what use i have for it yet. Mostly it'll allow me to have 2 different builds i suppose

but can maximize damage of consuming frenzy charges on weapon set 1... lol

[dim turtle]

yes

Ah shit

[prisma jolt]

what? you can't allocate notables on weapon sets?

[mint pivot]

I mean more than double frenzy consumption is a gigantic damage boost

[dim turtle]

well stun charm doesnt do anything i get hit and it stuns me everytime

[mint pivot]

not keystones

[prisma jolt]

mb, keystones

oof

man when I swap to my other set I've got more int and less dex, and I can't change it

[bright sundial]

Is this 60 ex worth? Would be all of my currency

[gilded wadi]

Look at the Self Mortification and Asceticism passives

[rustic swallow]

A funny interaction though, when you swap to weapon 1, and gain a frenzy charge, it erases the extras lol

[prisma jolt]

wish you could allocate an attribute node on weapon sets too

and make it have different values based on the weapon set

[rustic swallow]

But before that, you still keep the frenzy charges and can spend them on weapon set 1

[mint pivot]

Aaaaaah, so that's why

very interesting

it only cares about your limit when the charge is gained

[placid hill]

is it a bad idea for me to fully invest into evasion on monk with acrobatics and protect me from harm? ill have little energy shield if i do

[raven stratus]

Anyone know how I can start the cruel 2nd act ascendancy?

[rustic swallow]

it is kind of a useless tech, to swap, i guess it depends. For me it's just nice that i can actually add frenzy into my build without losing damage on my weapon 1

[peak wren]

Why can't I buy maps from bulk item exchange ?

[lime juniper]

at 123 spirit, need 190, already have +53 from body, any reccom??

[peak wren]

Is it bugged or are there literally no maps there ?

[gilded wadi]

You should have 100 spirit from the campaign, how do you have 123 if you have +53?

[gilded wadi]

Bulk item exchange for waystones doesn't yet work. We need a map stash tab first.

[mint pivot]

I mean if you can use it to build on the way to a boss and walk into the arena with 7 charges instead of 3 it's really powerful

[drifting breach]

how to do this lool

[gilded wadi]

Search for waystones on the normal trade page and tell the person you want more than 1

[lime juniper]

what did i miss in the campaign to where i didnt get 100?

[gilded wadi]

Walk in AoE

[prisma jolt]

so how do I add another skill in place of this for my other weapon set?

[gilded wadi]

you'll figure it out then

[drifting breach]

wdym walk in aoe?

[whole rivet]

i just got to end game what am i supposed to do now ?

[gilded wadi]

The thing above lever

The circle

[drifting breach]

i did

[rustic swallow]

wish we could have armor set 1 and 2 lol

[drifting breach]

i took dmg

[gilded wadi]

That does not dmg you

[gilded wadi]

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

[sturdy steppe]

there is a youtube video specifically on how to do that puzzle, essentially you step on the circle then run back to your left and pull the lever. Then you will be teleported back to the circle

Can anyone explain to me what the numbers in red and green for this maxroll build mean?

[drifting breach]

OHH

[gilded wadi]

weapon set passives

[drifting breach]

coool puzzle wtf

[gilded wadi]

Different passive tree paths depending on weapon set

[whole rivet]

[sturdy steppe]

If I'm not weapon swapping, do I just ignore the red and green paths?

[drifting breach]

NOO

[charred island]

How do you know when you’ve completed a map?

[drifting breach]

so close yet so far

[gilded wadi]

Put waystone in map device (repeat). There is more to it then that, but that is the basics

[drifting breach]

so much time wasted and no loot

lol

[lime juniper]

ty

[hazy dirge]

Try to avoid the escape one. Gauntlet is always the same and easy

[whole rivet]

where exactly do i head? what is my goal? what do different waystones do?

[covert dragon]

any monks in chat

[drifting breach]

i could not do other one

[covert dragon]

i got a quarterstaff need evaluating

[flint cobalt]

I hadd 100% extra trap dmg and got oneshottet by that earlier today

[drifting breach]

it did 1k dmg by itself 💀

[exotic gazelle]

not a monk but all my fuggen friends are, show

[covert dragon]

how much can this sell for

idk what stats monks look for

[gilded wadi]

What the heck... I swear I've been hit by that trap multiple times and barely noticed the dmg

[exotic gazelle]

physical/cold/lightning damage + attack speed

[drifting breach]

i need higher res for this ....

[sturdy steppe]

do you know if I'm not weapon swapping, if I would just ignore the green and red passive skills?

[gilded wadi]

Thats not enough DPS to be worth much

[mint pivot]

a tip for you sekhema strugglers

[drifting breach]

@flint cobalt i also got unlucky and rolled trader only has 1 option

[mint pivot]

you can active block all the traps

[gilded wadi]

idk what build you are following, so I can't say

[drifting breach]

and 50% less water

[covert dragon]

cast speed on a warstaff?

[exotic gazelle]

attack speed. edited. sorry

[mint pivot]

and shield charge through them and take no damage

[covert dragon]

so is it bad?

1 ex?

[flint cobalt]

Ouch I have a relic that give me 3 more merchant options, but I don't have any space for it, I kinda need resistances 😮

[drifting breach]

yooo ill take that

res and choices

[exotic gazelle]

its meh, id give it to d4s0n

[mint pivot]

BiS relic

[drifting breach]

bis?

[mint pivot]

low honor res roll but still

best in slot

[drifting breach]

mid roll

but yeahI see what u meanb

[frosty mango]

why is trial of chaos so impossible? :S

[mint pivot]

merchant choices legit trivialize the trial

You can basically guarantee the good boons

[exotic gazelle]

i love doing the 2nd sekhma trial because it was painful failing at it but now i can laugh at other people that fail it LMAO not even a 3rd ascendancy lmaooo

[sturdy steppe]

If you aren't weapon swapping, would the red and green nodes by ignored in this build?

[drifting breach]

unless u got bad rng for me and got bad water into no choices

*like me

[sturdy steppe]

so many spammers....

[drifting breach]

50% less water -> no choices xdd

I wanna do a successful trials but man its not that easy

[mint pivot]

I would take literally any affliction over single merchant choice

that one is gg

[gilded wadi]

They would not be ignored - that would leave you with 23 unallocated points so you should put them somewhere

[drifting breach]

it was random

i had no idea

[exotic gazelle]

its ez just get lucky with merchant. ezpz

[drifting breach]

what it was

[mint pivot]

Never ever take random afflictions

[covert dragon]

is +merchant choices really that good?

[flint cobalt]

I think I had to sacrifice around 40% resistances for 3x merchant options due to the shape of the relic

not sure if its worth it

[drifting breach]

@mint pivot it was to get rid of the -50% water aff

-50% water aff for random negative

LOOL

[gilded wadi]

Yeah - then focus on getting sacred water throughout the trial and you could have 15+ boons by the time you get to the end

[mint pivot]

Still not worth

[drifting breach]

tbhI did not even realise that was even a option

[gilded wadi]

You should still be able to cap resistances using the rest of the relic space, so it probably is

[covert dragon]

how do i take out the barya after reaching boss room?
and do i get my relics back after taking it out??

[mint pivot]

you could hit single merchant choice, you could hit monster speed, you could hit no ES on a CI build

random affliction is just so bad

not worth the risk basically ever unless your run is already doomed

[drifting breach]

do u just need to do all trial to be able to get all slots?

for the trials?

[mint pivot]

yes

[flint cobalt]

yes

[mint pivot]

it says if you hover over the lock on the slot

[drifting breach]

pain

[mint pivot]

complete trial of time or wtv

[drifting breach]

at least I got 3/4 slots now

I guess

[frosty mango]

which method is easier to get fourth ascendancy? chaos or shekemas?

[exotic gazelle]

how much does a 4th ascendancy carry cost

[drifting breach]

ok fair

[gilded wadi]

sekhema

[drifting breach]

some say 30 ex, some say 1 div

[exotic gazelle]

i would pay 30ex so hard id even tip the mf

[mint pivot]

Zarokh ain't falling over to the ice nova?

[jagged hound]

Flash Grenade can blind allies, can it blind you?

[gilded wadi]

Crazies in trade chat often selling 4th carry for 2div. insane

[tranquil wagon]

im in the middle of sekhemas for asc 4
-"gain a random minor affliction"
-you have no energy shield
so, my honour dropped from 9k to 1.7k and i have 80% less effective hp

[exotic gazelle]

didnt even try it yet, still mentally recovering from the 3 floor sekhma bs

[gilded wadi]

well you are screwed lol

[mint pivot]

Exhibit B

[jagged hound]

Yup. Welcome to hell. You need to avoid random minors 100% of the time as an ES build, there is no alternative

[exotic gazelle]

wait you can do another sekhma instead of chaos?

[tranquil wagon]

im massively overlevelled for here and oneshotting everythig on the screen, but damn that takes away any mistakes i can make now

[exotic gazelle]

WHAT

[tranquil wagon]

unless i remove it somehow

[exotic gazelle]

i miss izaro so much bros

this ascendancy stuff in poe2 just aint it

[strong pike]

what class should i play if i want a lazy playstyle for the atlas? my warrior isnt doing it for me in the endgame

[exotic gazelle]

ez monk

[tranquil wagon]

3rd floor boos with no 1.8k honour wish me luck

[rustic swallow]

So when i assign points to weapon set 1 it doesn't let me use those same points for weapon set 2?

[flint cobalt]

I like trial of sekhemet, but perhaps the 4th ascendacy should be a bit easier, and there could be a 5th trial or something

[tranquil wagon]

either i oneshot it or it oneshots me

[mint pivot]

If you take the pledge rooms you can potentially remove afflictions. You can't get one worse than that for your build so might as well.

[exotic gazelle]

that boss is ez

[mint pivot]

3rd boss is easy, stick close to her side and roll away when she swipes

[exotic gazelle]

her?

[mint pivot]

when she goes underground run around the edges of the arena

[exotic gazelle]

that scorpion is a her? how?

[mint pivot]

I think

[flint cobalt]

Its naked, you cant see a penis

[jagged salmon]

If I wanted to freeze a boss as quick as possible without caring about damage how would I do that?

[lapis gate]

How does this game determine if % buffs are additive or multiplicative? Like for example if im using a cold spell would a 15% spell damage boost and a 15% cold spell damage boost be the same thing as just a 30% spell damage boost or does it calculate the number and then multiply them separately

[jagged hound]

Doesnt she have Queen in her name

[exotic gazelle]

ice nova, freeze buildup, literally hax

[torn plank]

for scorpion boss, was there something you are supposed to do when character is getting slowed by sand

[drifting breach]

Question

[exotic gazelle]

keep rollin rollin rollin rollin

[jagged hound]

Increased is additive. More is multiplicative. + is flat and is multiplied by those numbers. More per X is additive with itself though

[drifting breach]

For trials besides merc buffs and res is there anything else that is good to have?

[jagged salmon]

Awsome. I'm doing a ignite build and there is a support that gives 100% magnitude of ignites on frozen enemies

[keen pecan]

does this mean my piercing not working ?

[gilded wadi]

See "poe2-helpful-guides" channel for some info on that

[drifting breach]

Or just those 2?

[jagged hound]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1321237459987726366

[torn plank]

I went into that boss fight without reading guides and was worried I was missing something about using the pressure plates to avoid some of that bosses antics

[tranquil wagon]

you were right

[mint pivot]

You want to keep the sand out of the main arena. When she goes underground run her around the edges so that the sand pits will be out of the way when it comes time to fight in the center again.

[prisma jolt]

man can you not use the same weapon for both weapon sets? :(

[exotic gazelle]

based and monkpilled

[mint pivot]

Bro started the fight on the poison trap

goat

[torn plank]

culling strike has probably saved me on so many boss fights including the scorpion

[jagged hound]

If you stand on the very corner of one of the trapped platforms, without triggering it, she immediately gets back up. The idea is you either weather her untelegraphed jumps, or activate then dodge the trap, but you can just avoid both

[exotic gazelle]

monk needs a nerf so bad holy shit

what a dumbass character

[peak wren]

I like how the boss weakness icons exist for players and I can just see when they're not res capped

[tranquil wagon]

im level 87 in a 77 zone

[exotic gazelle]

monke still broken

[olive forge]

am I doing maps bad if I haven't got a divine orb and I just finished the t7 quest?

[mint pivot]

sounds like coward talk

[tranquil wagon]

idk it took me ages of respeccing and changing gear aroud to finally make my monk work

[mint pivot]

I'm practicing my roll timing with her underground phase 😤

[jagged hound]

Its Sanctum, everyone who isn't one quits

[royal orchid]

if a pledge in the trials of sekhema say for the negative "Take X physical damage", is that just a one time thing or a permanent affliction for the run?

[mint pivot]

wat

[peak wren]

perm

is it the

"each room"

[royal orchid]

no

[mint pivot]

Yes, it also gets mitigated by honor resistance and your armor

[peak wren]

ah then probably not

[frosty basin]

is it a known issue? can i get to that elite or its locked out, am i missing something here?

[jagged hound]

Thats just one big hit of damage

[peak wren]

yeah it's once I think

[royal orchid]

got it, thank you everyone

[mint pivot]

if you have 75% honor res taking damage for boon is usually worth

[tranquil wagon]

welp

[gloomy sigil]

Any idea why my bell instant disappear?

[jagged hound]

Hare's is +Movement speed right? Id take that unless it kills you

[tranquil wagon]

floor 4 i got a lovely affliction as well, you have no armour

[flint cobalt]

I love the 3 random boons for 1000ish dmg after 8 rounds

[trail depot]

anyone have a lvl 8,9,10 spirit gem for 1 ex? none dropped at earlier levels for me

[royal orchid]

only did about 150 damage to 2900 honor

[tranquil wagon]

and got oneshot the very next room, not even honour oneshot, i just didnt have any hp

[mint pivot]

Surely your monk doesn't have like 9k es and also cares about armor

[exotic gazelle]

i really dont know how monk in its current state got approved into the game

[mint pivot]

Yeah it's really worth once your relics are good

[exotic gazelle]

what is this joke

[tranquil wagon]

both my es and amor were removed by a lovely "random MINOR affliction"

minor btw

a small debuff

[drifting breach]

What do i want on my relics for trial btw? Ik about merchant cost and amount and res

But besides that anything else good?

[exotic gazelle]

max honor + honor res

[mint pivot]

Well what you should have done is gotten the MAJOR boon that restores like 1% of your honor per room.

[drifting breach]

Max res is good?

[gilded wadi]

sacred water gain and movement speed

[tranquil wagon]

i actually

had that

[drifting breach]

You can get ms on them??

Dang

[tranquil wagon]

39 honor on room completion

[exotic gazelle]

+40 movement speed helped me alot on 2nd sekhma trials

[gilded wadi]

yep

[gloomy sigil]

What you mean? He is fun

[mint pivot]

yeah it's a joke boon lol

adrenaline vial is better

and adrenaline vial is bad

[exotic gazelle]

its very fun to facetank all content and spam left mouse button ngl

[hazy bloom]

How i get greater essence?

[mint pivot]

most people spam right mouse button, get it right

[gloomy sigil]

Most builds have already 1 button builds, lol. Even those ranged

[exotic gazelle]

monke fans gonna feel the pain next patch. i predict it

[sweet tiger]

Anyone got any extra 3rd trial coins>??😭

[gilded wadi]

I am pretty sure many classes at this point have a mostly face tank and spam 1 button build

[mint pivot]

Double fountain water is good, basically any water affix is decent, but that one's the best

[drifting breach]

Ok!

[light flame]

I feel there is something definitely broken with waystone maps. All of campaign not a single performance issue while on high settings. Now I get disconnected every other map when I enter it and I have everything at low settings. When I do get to enter it, I often get micro stutters and other issues. My computer is not amazing but also not bad either.

Its beena frustrating day lol

[exotic gazelle]

a non monk spotted in the wild!

[sweet tiger]

lol

[drifting breach]

how much would decent relics cost too buy? Guessin div+

[mint pivot]

Not that expensive actually

no one runs sekhema lol

[gilded wadi]

Plenty of great ones on trade for 1ex

[drifting breach]

Tf

[exotic gazelle]

what does this mean

[drifting breach]

How lol

[mint pivot]

No one farms it endgame

[exotic gazelle]

oh

[mint pivot]

so they don't care about their relics

[gilded wadi]

What do you mean how? Relics drop very often...

[mint pivot]

I get like 20 relics per run

[gilded wadi]

I vendor most of the ones I get lol

[mint pivot]

you get so many from just opening the bronze relic chests in last room

I reroll them

[exotic gazelle]

i could give you all my relics for free cuz im never doing sekhma ever again

[drifting breach]

Whats so much better then doing sekh?

🤔

[exotic gazelle]

scooping your eyeballs out

[gilded wadi]

Sekhema is fun

[lime cargo]

Why can other incomplete items be sold but not this one?

[mint pivot]

Waystones, breach

[drifting breach]

I guess

[mint pivot]

sekhema is only profitable if you're doing unique relic runs

[jagged salmon]

Rectum trials can go eat a homeless man's asshole

[mint pivot]

running it baseline in trade league is a waste of time

[exotic gazelle]

truer words have never been said before 🤝

[mint pivot]

Yeah sekhema is fun

[peak wren]

Hello, so I'm level 86, got to tier 15 maps but I'm a bit squishy .. should I try doing my 4th ascendancy or just continue farming lower tier maps till I get a gear upgrade ? Also, I'm almost able to open the Xesht breach boss thing, is he a pre-4th ascendancy boss or after that ?

Should I rush him right now to get more breach splinters?

[mint pivot]

it's the only thing that seems to deliver on what I expected out of poe2 endgame

[jagged salmon]

Crippling anger?

[gilded wadi]

If you are squishy in maps, you are likely to die on the breach boss so you may be better off saving the breachstone or selling it

[mint pivot]

No, I farm it on warrior

the difficulty is wildly overblown

[peak wren]

I think I'm squishy because usually I just kill things before they kill me

but in tier 15 maps things refuse to die sometimes

[jagged salmon]

I'm doing a giants blood fire build and the honor system is the only thing stopping me from getting my 3rd ascendancy

[mint pivot]

the baryas and ultimatumsare not worth that much, so you could give the ascendancy a try, doesn't hurt

[mint pivot]

fire build? Are you the molten thing?

[jagged salmon]

I'm not following a build guide

[mint pivot]

yes but what skill do you use

the thing that shoots molten balls?

[jagged salmon]

Perfect strike and molten blast

[jagged salmon]

That's my clearing skill

[mint pivot]

Yeah I mean that's a ranged ability you should be able to take your time if you find yourself getting domed in melee too much

[jagged salmon]

When dual weilding it's %30 slower attack speed so it's kinda hard to not get hit

[mint pivot]

what monsters are u getting hit by?

[jagged salmon]

Mostly ranged

[mint pivot]

like which mob types give u trouble

[jagged salmon]

And bosses eat my ass

[exotic gazelle]

bosses eat my ass

[mint pivot]

IMO the hardest boss is floor 2, floor 3 is far easier if you know what's happening

she is so slow

[exotic gazelle]

floor 2 is just some dumbass blind knights spamming silly attacks

[cosmic flicker]

If I ex a Jewel with 3 affixes with the omen that makes my next exalt add 2 affixes

will I get a 5 affix jewel

or 3 affixes?

I mean

4

[jagged salmon]

Screen wide aoe and they block eachother so it's hard to see when they are attacking

[tardy flare]

so is breach on a fixed timer or depending on how fast you kill mobs

i still cant tell

[mint pivot]

amount of mobs killed

so clearspeed based, yeah

[exotic gazelle]

definitely not a fixed timer

[tardy flare]

does it matter where

[mint pivot]

they have to be breach monsters afaik

[tardy flare]

yeah but does it matter where in the circle

[jagged salmon]

Even with attack speed nodes on tree and attack speed support gem i only have 0.7 attacks per second

[tardy flare]

i think they spawn everywhere

[mint pivot]

No it doesn't

[tardy flare]

are people moving with the circle?

i still havent figured out a good way to do it

[torn plank]

do breaches behave any differently if opened while delirium is active?

[mint pivot]

The best tip I can give you is that the shield is incredibly powerful in sekhema. You don't even have to spec for it.

[tardy flare]

but i ended up buying a splinter and doing the first boss so i get 30% more time

[mint pivot]

Put it in your off hand.

You can block every trap

block almost all the ranged attacks (not those flamethrower urn guys, gtfo for those)

[tardy flare]

delirium is weird too i can never tell where it wants me to go because its fog everywhere. sometimes i can do teh whole map. sometimes the boss spawns and then despawns because id ont see him in time just the healthbar.

[jagged salmon]

Traps are not even a problem it's losing a bunch of honor to bullsgit bosses and mobs just because my build is slow

[twin oasis]

I think I'm towards the end of act 1. Could someone give me a hand?

[tranquil wagon]

guys important, does it hurt honour as well?

[mint pivot]

you want to clear to the edge, I usually do it in a zig zag to get as many mobs as possible, then I'll clear around the rim, basically running parallel to it.

[austere fossil]

DAMN! should've been more methodical and kept my eyes on the enemy, guy just walked up and blew me up....

[gilded wadi]

yes

[mint pivot]

Yes, but it's reduced by your armor and honor resist

[tranquil wagon]

okay

so its super worth

for 3 random boons

[mint pivot]

Yeah I always take it

[mint pivot]

if damage isn't the issue but your speed is you could try to run just a single weapon

[jagged salmon]

This is true.......but i hate that my build does pretty much just fine in maps but then gets shit on in level 67 trials when I'm almost level 80

[wicked hemlock]

soooo I completed the trial of sekhmes but didn't interact with the ascension shrine. Did I just lose the token and got no points? So I have to get a new djin to do it again

[mint pivot]

you do have your relics set up right?

like honor res and such

[gilded wadi]

yes

[hexed kelp]

how does demon form work with es

[quartz yacht]

hey guys how can i have 0 monsters left on a map but it still doesnt say its completed?

[gilded wadi]

bug

[hexed kelp]

citadel?

[mint pivot]

it eats your life past the ES

[tranquil wagon]

im rollin

[mint pivot]

if ur asking if it works with CI it doesn't

[quartz yacht]

damn 😦

[jagged salmon]

I haven't traded for any because I can't be bothered to. But I do have a couple good ones I found so far.

[wicked hemlock]

ya know if I can just buy a new djin from someone?

[quartz yacht]

willow

[gilded wadi]

yes you can

[hexed kelp]

u mean u cant activate it?

[wicked hemlock]

you happen to know what level I need it to be to grant me the 3rd ascension points?

[gilded wadi]

60+

[mint pivot]

I think you can but it instantly ends because demon form is coded to not kill you so it stops at 1 hp which CI always is

[wicked hemlock]

ty

[mint pivot]

either way, nonfunction

[hexed kelp]

sad

[gilded wadi]

I hate that 40% move speed buff. I consider it an affliction. It makes it harder for me to move and dodge well because I am not used to the speed

[hexed kelp]

what layers of defence u can get on demon form then

[mint pivot]

I mean if you've been failing runs that's effectively farming relics

[tranquil wagon]

i love it so much

[mint pivot]

I always take hare foot

trivializes zarokh hourglass

[gilded wadi]

That is already trivial

[jagged salmon]

I only have issues with bosses and ranged attacks

[gilded wadi]

If someone knows the mechanic, I don't see how the hourglass can be a problem

[mint pivot]

I'm warrior with 25% ms boots and no MS relics, so not quite

[jagged salmon]

I beat 2nd boss with only 20% ms

Just barely though

[gilded wadi]

we are talking about the 4th boss

[jagged salmon]

Oh

[gilded wadi]

There is a mechanic which requires a certain amount of MS

[mint pivot]

People usually still do energy shield

[wicked hemlock]

there is no way people are charging 1 divin for a barya lvl 60+

[pastel geyser]

guys i want my 5 and 6 ascendancy points i did the 2 paths with 2 boss in trial of sekhemas and received nothing what i'm supposed to do

[hexed kelp]

i rly wanna try out choir infernalist

sounds cool

[mint pivot]

they get a very small life pool by converting with infernalist and/or ghostwrithe unique chest and then they get flat life regen.

[gilded wadi]

Yes they are, but just do level 63 or something. Way cheaper

I see one on trade for 1ex

And it shouldn't be that much harder than 60

[wicked hemlock]

ye will do, not a problem

[gilded wadi]

Read "Ascendancy Points" top right of passive tree

You need 3 floors (3 bosses) with sekhema

[pastel geyser]

it is so hard wtf

[mint pivot]

Yeah IMO speccing into block a little and running one-handed with a shield will let you make more mistakes against ranged attacks and be less likely to get hit by them in the first place because ur faster

[gilded wadi]

Get relics

[onyx chasm]

any ES build recoomendation which is fun?

[pastel geyser]

and why when i died balbala told death is different here u got a second chance

ah nvm its u will have another chance

[mint pivot]

spin a wheel, it will land on a good ES build.

any particular playstyle you're seeking?

[gilded wadi]

Every (nearly) top build is ES right now lol

[onyx chasm]

1 button alll BOOM kind of thing O_O

[onyx chasm]

i was playing Warcry build on barb but its not good late game 😦 bec of armor.

[mint pivot]

rly

my corrupting cry warbringer is jammin

[onyx chasm]

you playing sesimic cry?

[mint pivot]

most of the spell builds are quite spammy right now... I thin kthe closest thing I can think of to what you're talking about would be like a falling thunder monk.

[mint pivot]

corrupting cry via seismic cry, yes

[onyx chasm]

i have 5.5k armor and 65% block with all ele ress cap

[celest surge]

Need help with count genor act one 🥵 krekkling is ing name 🥹

[onyx chasm]

still it feel so bad 😦

[mint pivot]

how much life?

[onyx chasm]

2.7

[mint pivot]

level?

[clever flume]

How do you get “unbound avatar” spirit gem? I can’t find it when I try to engrave

[onyx chasm]

87 i think

[mint pivot]

Yeah your life is quite low... block cap is also super important

you say you're playing a cry build but what do you mean by that? Corrupting cry? Earthshatter?

[onyx chasm]

how you can get block cap with Svalinn?

i have the best Svalinn you can get

[mint pivot]

Wait u have 65% with svalinn?

[onyx chasm]

yes

[mint pivot]

yeah that's incredible

no ur good then

just more life

[onyx chasm]

😦

Skadoosh build said like was not important on gear so i ignored it

[wicked hemlock]

asked like 10 different people for trade and got 0 replies, lmao

[mint pivot]

can you show me the build ur using?

[onyx chasm]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/corrupting-cry-warbringer-skadoosh

[magic timber]

can you replace anoitments on amulets or are they permenant

[onyx chasm]

i dont have that amulet

but i have the best amulet you can have also 😛

[split willow]

boys, apologies for the stupid question but. I have Ghost Dance, Combat Frenzy, Herald of Ice and Charge Infusion. Should I take Feeding Frenzy or Wind Dance?

[mint pivot]

how the hell do u have 2.7k life, how much str do you have?

[onyx chasm]

650+ i think

let me show you

[mint pivot]

The math is not mathing, I have 688 and nearly 4k life

no astramentis, no crest helm, no svalinn

[glacial jungle]

How do i get the last 2 points for the map boss tree?
defeated tier 16 iridated boss already but got nothing

[onyx chasm]

[mint pivot]

so I have more health because of rares, but the difference should not be that stark

[tranquil wagon]

alright

4th asc boss wish me luck

[gilded wadi]

16 + irradiated + corrupted for your next two

[onyx chasm]

math is srsly not mathing here 😮

[glacial jungle]

it has to be both? so irridated and corrupted?

[torn plank]

at what tier of maps should I start using orbs of alchemy/other currency to upgrade maps to rare?

[gilded wadi]

yeah

[twilit spruce]

how can i tell what was corrupted when looking at a gem?

[glacial jungle]

aight tyvm

[gloomy sigil]

How you got points in this tree?

[onyx chasm]

this is what i have @mint pivot

[gilded wadi]

I start regaling around T6, alch+ maybe exalt+ maybe vaal around T13

[glacial jungle]

when you clear boss maps level 79+

[onyx chasm]

this is something i dont want to change 😦

i love it

[mint pivot]

very good neck

[gloomy sigil]

lvl 79? YOu remember which Map tier is this? xd

[glacial jungle]

should be tier 15

[onyx chasm]

but my rares dont have health

[glacial jungle]

+1 level for irridated and +1 for corrupted and the 7th and 8th point with t16 map

[mint pivot]

do they have strength?

[onyx chasm]

all of my items have Str

🙂

[mint pivot]

with polymath, titanic, and black crest every point of strength is huge

[brave trout]

how much is pillar of the caged god worth? im getting tons of messages for 1 ex

[thick osprey]

how can i remove rune from a socket item

[brave trout]

you cant

[thick osprey]

oh

[onyx chasm]

[mint pivot]

Oh you have legit no life rolls on anything

the math is mathing

[hard sail]

lol i just want to get to level 75 for my gear i bought.

[onyx chasm]

yha it did math

[mint pivot]

ur passive tree is the same as this guide?

[gloomy sigil]

t16? jesus, why this content is on t16 wtf, should be on t10 or t12

[sand spire]

is there any way to connect certain maps that dont have a connection in the atlas? I can literally see a stone citadel but cant reach it because of a super long lake that seems to be causing a super long go around way to reach the citadel..

[ivory forge]

Nope

[sand spire]

aw man thats so annoying

its literally some super short ways that just arent connected

[onyx chasm]

Yes

my totoms do billion damage O_O

[hard sail]

this limp from 73-75 is so mind numbing.

[onyx chasm]

but i only use them on bosses

[tranquil wagon]

now thats a sweet drop from sekhemas 4

and good corrupt on it

[mint pivot]

Ok idk who skadoosh is, and this tree seems kinda bunk to me

[glacial jungle]

its endgame 😄

[mint pivot]

nah but I;ve done like 30 of these and seen 0 grand spectrums

[austere sandal]

how do you guys keep playing after dying to a map im just getting frustrated so much

[mint pivot]

💀

[tranquil wagon]

i just saw a gold chest that said "specturm"

and thought

damn whats that

turns out its money

[mint pivot]

I've had like 5 time-lost caches, and I dropped one good relic

[spark charm]

how do i go back to here

it just teleported me back to the outside

[mint pivot]

@onyx chasm I friended u so we don't keep flooding chat with side-chat

[mint pivot]

you lost the run, have to try again

[spark charm]

bruh

[gilded wadi]

If you are dying often, you are doing something wrong. Your build may need an adjustment or you are doing too high of a tier. I have multiple characters in endgame now and every time I have found myself dying I changed something in my build and the problem went away (as long as I didn't play like a buffoon)

[tranquil wagon]

alright time to put those to use

gonna go farm them all

all of those are 4 floors

[spark charm]

can i join one of them lol im still stuck on 3rd ascendancy

[tranquil wagon]

idk if ill be able to do them with player scaling tbh

[spark charm]

o what level are you

[tranquil wagon]

87

[spark charm]

ah yea im too far lol

[open spire]

just to confirm, citadel bosses get harder from points in this tree?

[tranquil wagon]

small nodes give them levels if im not mistaken

[open spire]

yeah im getting ripped by the iron citadel boss. maybe i unspec next time

[gilded wadi]

I've died to both citadels I have found. I am unspeccing all atlas/boss trees next time lol

[open spire]

im convinced the iron citadel boss is getting nerfed

the move where he drops ice shards literally 1-2 shots me

for the love of god, buff life characters ggg lol

[gilded wadi]

For me it is the huge slam AoE. I don't think it is possible to evade without some kind of movement skill (blink, leap slam, etc.)

[open spire]

yeah after failing 3 iron citadels, im just going to unspec and see if it makes a diff

[tardy flare]

thats what those slots are for?

huh

[gilded wadi]

oiled maps

[tardy flare]

wtf

[gilded wadi]

just storage, yep

[tardy flare]

probably apoe1 thing

if oyu could put all maps there and enchant from there it would be cool

[gilded wadi]

yeah seems clunky to me. Any time I oil a map, I am going to run it right away

So there is no value to those slots for me

[tardy flare]

yeah im not sure

maybe youre supposed to vaal and oil all maps

and then it makes sense

[drifting breach]

IMO is nice to oil like 3-4 and store it there

[tardy flare]

so you pick your map from there

but they coulda allowed that slot for maps

and it woulda been decent

[wicked hemlock]

How far do I have to go in the trial to get the 3rd ascension points couple?

[tranquil wagon]

3rd floor completion

[wicked hemlock]

3rd boss so?

[tranquil wagon]

yep

[wicked hemlock]

aight, thanks

[charred wharf]

This is a Reddit post ignore the item my question is what do they mean when they say T16? Isn’t the highest map 15? Is that just a 15 with irradiated so it’s +1 level? Also how does monster level in a map work in general?

[mint pivot]

You can corrupt a map to be t16

[gilded wadi]

Monster level is 64 + map tier + (1 if irradiated) + (1 if corrupted)

[charred wharf]

Oh! Should I be hitting all of my 15s with a vaal??

[gilded wadi]

The highest map tier is 16 (which you can only get by corrupting a T15), but some people will use T17/T18 to refer to maps that are also irradiated or corrupted

[charred wharf]

So is any irradiated 15 a T16 and there is a T17?

Ahhhhh I see now. This was very helpful thank you all!

[mint pivot]

T18 would be a t16 map on corruption and irradiation node

[gilded wadi]

Using tiers to indicated corrupted/irradiated is sort of unofficial terminology. Yes in some sense a irradiated T15 is a T16

[chilly kernel]

is the "pinnacle of flame" boss necessary to get the last 2 points in the atlas tree boss section or can I get it from double corrupted t15 map + corruption and irradiaton?

[gilded wadi]

As far as whether or not you should vaal T15s, it is often considered a good idea IF you can handle the really difficult maps it sometimes creates

[mint pivot]

Yeah it's a player made term not an ingame official thing

[gilded wadi]

pinnacle of flame needed for last 2

[acoustic ferry]

guys can 4th ascendancy be done in trial of chaos?

[trail depot]

is that an easier way to move items from invetory to stash without doing it one by one???

[tardy flare]

man you get a lot of ritual points if you delirium ritual

delrious map

you could pay someone on mechanical turk to do it horny

[exotic gazelle]

anyone else hearing the hideout theme in their heads even when having sex?

[tardy flare]

anyone else having sex?

[exotic gazelle]

sexual acts with alva the explorer

i am going to ban myself off this server now

[tardy flare]

she seems like a good date

[split willow]

how much HP does Chetza in Chaos Trial have?

[tranquil wagon]

i just clicked the 4th floor door

ffs

[vapid hornet]

Guys need a carry for sekhema please i always fail at the last boss and cant get my acendency points… ill pay with exhalted!

[tardy flare]

if i help you were gonna die because i need 5 minutes for the boss solo 😂

[lapis gate]

does "allies in your presence" include yourself or no?

[gilded wadi]

something easier than ctrl+click? no

[tardy flare]

as the mighty tool tip says

you are not your own ally

[delicate walrus]

i just beat the ascenscion and my keys say it gives points, just beat the dual boss guys

0 points

[exotic gazelle]

how many exalteds 🧐

[glacial stump]

Can someone carry me through the trials? Need 4 more.. i failed on my last attempt -.-

[exotic gazelle]

bro everyone having a bad time with the trials lmao

time to rate the game as catastrophic on steam

[delicate walrus]

how come i just beat the duo bosses ascendency with the baryas that GIVE POINTS and i wasn't awarded points the fucking statue wasn't interactable!

[exotic gazelle]

3 floors bro

[delicate walrus]

so i have to do it again?!

[exotic gazelle]

yes

[delicate walrus]

i did test of strength and test of will

so one more

[exotic gazelle]

do it again, reach 3rd floor, get dumbass afflictions, die to honor, cry, repeat

[glacial stump]

Can cry, happened to me too

[delicate walrus]

so i have 4pts already in use, this 3rd floor will give me another 2?

[exotic gazelle]

petition to change trial of sekhma into trial of cry

[exotic gazelle]

yes

[delicate walrus]

jesus fucking christ can they make this jmore miserable

[exotic gazelle]

no, this is peak miserable. they love that we suffer

[delicate walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/yup-gif-23788233

[exotic gazelle]

me going mapping with 0% magic find

[delicate walrus]

does it save my spot if log out?

like i beat teh 2 floors, can i lobby and go use a belt on my neck

[calm summit]

question about the atlas.. am I borked here?

hideout there.. but I cannot get to it?

(there might be a path from the left side there, but I doubt it, and it's a huge hike around the unexplored world)

[delicate walrus]

whats the 3rd floor boss?

what am i looking at here

[exotic gazelle]

a silly scorpion that slows you. very easy

[delicate walrus]

what to expect

okie

[plucky remnant]

is there a way to know if theres still a breach hand active in the map?

[delicate walrus]

cuz the duo boss was cheating

major douche move

[exotic gazelle]

the duo boss was so damn easy lmao

they are actually dumb

[plucky remnant]

got 2 10 breach map back to back. and its been two hours holy fck

[delicate walrus]

not for me

[exotic gazelle]

it was insanely easy for me since they love getting chain frozen for some reason

they get chain frozen harder than a white mob

[calm summit]

my life in a sentence..

third level is a huge jump from second in terms of difficulty

[arctic crag]

Sanctum sucks, I failed 3 times and kept leveling and finally got honor resistance capped and discovered that energy shield is OP and finally cleared 3rd. I am halfway thru the next attempt at 4th ascendancy but paused to do at a later time when I can focus.

[exotic gazelle]

indeed. its stupid. i blame the dumb traps

[arctic crag]

The easiest way to trivialize any boss or activity is to get insanely tanky for that scenario, unless you can dodge everything like a god. I am old so I do the former.

[calm summit]

the mobs are a lot stronger too, hourglass can easily turn into a mess

[gilded wadi]

traps are zero risk in sanctum

[arctic crag]

dodge rolls seem to give 100% iframes but on console some rooms get very choppy, plus I said I am old so I avoid traps rooms as much as I can

[calm summit]

anyone have any thoughts about my inaccsesible hideout I linked above?

are there other ways to get around in the atlas?

[gilded wadi]

You have to find a different path

There are no tricks

[arctic crag]

3rd time I've seen that today

[calm summit]

I don't think there is one

[exotic gazelle]

atlas is bugged sometimes, also there may be invisible lines

[gilded wadi]

What about that boss+expedition node that is mostly in the fog? What is behind the fog

[arctic crag]

I did a map that didnt have a node marker visible this morning. It was inside a mountain

[exotic gazelle]

mountains hide the lines

its silly

[thorny sinew]

if an item has an empty socket and it's corrupted can I still place a rune in it?

[gilded wadi]

yes

[calm summit]

the gnarly thing is that that whole area to the left has water above it, and no end in sight

[arctic crag]

I just saw the picture and looks like it does have paths but just isnt showing the lines fully?

[calm summit]

so hard to explore there

[tawny ridge]

Have they mentioned removing the one death limit?

[gilded wadi]

I hope they don't

[arctic crag]

I dont think so

They already relaxed it and the resistance penalties

[tawny ridge]

I don't mean this to be rude but how is it idk

Fun

[gilded wadi]

Challenge. If there is no challenge, where is the fun?

[arctic crag]

you don't lose much if you die, it also gives you some incentive to go back and revisit your build if you keep dying imo

[cosmic flicker]

Is there any way to look at my boobs/afflictions on console?

[thorny sinew]

what are the red socket items that do 30% increased elemental dmg?

[exotic gazelle]

poe veteran try not to enjoy suffering challenge (impossible)

[exotic gazelle]

what the heck

[gilded wadi]

In PoE1 mapping just became brain dead boring IMO because it was so easy and if you did die you just popped back in through one of the other portals

[tawny ridge]

It's not really more difficult it's just annoying

[arctic crag]

your "boobs" idk but afflictions yes. press small menu button that brings up the options etc menu then R3 to be able to navigate to all bugs on screen. Then go to the purple icon for list of afflictions.

[gilded wadi]

If you are dying, then it seems like there is obviously a challenge there

[arctic crag]

If you meant boons then its the yellow icon

[agile granite]

I think he meant "Boons"

[exotic gazelle]

he meant boobs

[thorny sinew]

you can't add sockets after something is corrupted correct?

[exotic gazelle]

viper has the best boobs ingame, fight me

[tawny ridge]

The dying is a challenge yes. The having to renavigate through all the menus is annoying.

There's nothing hard about tedium

[arctic crag]

Remember in poe1, you can just keep dying and continuing boss fro whatever hp you died at? The map change feels like the same as the boss change. I don't mind it at all.

[gilded wadi]

huh, what menus?

Putting a waystone in?

[tawny ridge]

Yeah

It sounds dumb

[gilded wadi]

idk... that boss in apex of filth.... lol

[tawny ridge]

But genuinely

[exotic gazelle]

the one that ate the family? oh man

[tawny ridge]

I'm also on console so menus in general are a little more annoying

[warm grotto]

How do you sustain tier 15 maps keep running out of them?

[exotic gazelle]

iirc the sorc deadass goes "ummm what" after hearing her dead family speech

[arctic crag]

I dont think this is tedium at all. If you improve your build it should become harder and harder to die. I basically treat it as just a soft indicator to review your build.

[tawny ridge]

But the change is definitely not increasing the fun value

[gilded wadi]

How often are you dying? it seems like that is the problem to me

[tawny ridge]

The dying was already a soft indicator

[arctic crag]

oh and this game also has pause

[tawny ridge]

I'm not like getting shredded or anything I just genuinely don't see a decent point

[gilded wadi]

boss maps, breach, juicing of your maps (alch/exalt/vaal/etc)

[arctic crag]

so in the case where you need to pick yp a phone call or something there is that option, so that kinda covers incidental/accidental deaths.

[tawny ridge]

This isn't a mald post it's just not exactly what I wanted

[arctic crag]

How do you die though? Do you get one shot? Then maybe its time for a defense check?

[tawny ridge]

Genuinely not that often it's just when I do nothing about it is "more fun" to me

[arctic crag]

I am also just a bit confused btw, isnt the goal just to meet increasing difficulty level's DPS and defense requirements.

that is all tehre is to build scaling.

[gilded wadi]

To make people actually build more rounded characters. It (ideally) makes the character building process more involved then just building for more dmg

[arctic crag]

Otherwise the game would stagnate at endgame (if you never had to work on defenses or dps)

[tawny ridge]

Idk just not my thing ig

I'll get over it

[arctic crag]

probably

[tawny ridge]

I have like 10 years to anyways

[exotic gazelle]

is anyone else's detonators bugged placement wise or is it just me

[arctic crag]

What tier maps are you doing? I was last doing T10s and I would have to try really hard to die in a T1. Maybe afk for 30 seconds

[split willow]

boys, how hard is trial master to beat? I read he 1 shots

[gilded wadi]

I am totally fine with the 1 death thing for maps. I am not totally sold on it when it comes to the pinnacle encounters since it takes so god awful long to get even one chance at them

[drifting breach]

That's the whole game though?

Ops

Wrong ping

[arctic crag]

I got my first expedition map today and while the rewards were underwhelming, the detonator seemed fine? Well I've only maybe done like 10 expeditions and 1 exp map now.

[exotic gazelle]

abandon all hope

[potent lodge]

trying to get more of the map boss kill points for the atlas... i did a t16 map on a boss point with a +1 level so level 81... how do i get a level 82 boss?

[exotic gazelle]

when i try to place it its warping allover the place

[arctic crag]

Like you backtrack it will look weird, there has to be a direct old fashioned TNT wire

[split willow]

great, time to see if i wasted 30 exaslt

[lapis gate]

so am i doing something wrong with breaches or do they really just drop this little until you start getting the atlas upgrades with them? (ignore how shit my build looks its bugged with breaches and doesnt proc nearly as much as it should)

[gilded wadi]

t16 + irradiated + corrupted

[potent lodge]

ty

[arctic crag]

ah no warping for me, I mostly play on PS5 but also tried PC now, yet to run into any explosive placement issues.

[subtle roost]

It's a bad layout for breach, but that seems like very little loot

can you provide more context

tier, juicing steps, loot filter in use, etc

[exotic gazelle]

is this cast on freeze + comet

[lapis gate]

no its cast on minion death with minions that insta pop when they ignite from fireflower amulet

[wicked hemlock]

If I have 1 hp I can't proc this can I?

[gilded wadi]

wouldn't think so

[lapis gate]

but for some reason they dont proc ignite on event monsters idk its a weird bug

[arctic crag]

I think this is normal? You will obv get more in endgame and with more juicing, I can't tell what you've done so far.

[subtle roost]

no. it's a bad boon regardless

[wicked hemlock]

How tho, it's 50% honor back

[subtle roost]

if you're at 20% life you've fucked up beyond redemption

[gilded wadi]

The random minor affliction could brick your entire run

[subtle roost]

lol

also yes, you have no control over the affliction other than to not take it

[gilded wadi]

Most of those rooms I just skip that altar entirely

[lapis gate]

loot filter doesnt exclude anything, this is a t8 but i get same excact nothing from a t12, i havnt gotten the breach atlas at all so i know it will get better idk it just seems like i get legit nothing from them

[wicked hemlock]

Alright, thanks

[subtle roost]

something isn't right. how are you juicing your maps.

[lapis gate]

when normally i see in youtube videos at the end a ton of stuff drops on the floor and i only get stuff from the monsters themselves

[arctic crag]

FWIW I am also around the same progression as your char, I jsut completed the T10 quests this morning. And I am just being patient in terms of rewards because I know I havent juiced enough and also not in 6 mod maps yet. I am just regal'ing blue maps and doing them.

[potent lodge]

i have neversinks litefilter... id like to filter out maps below T13, does he have one like that?

[arctic crag]

need higher level and more map mods

you can edit it out btw. You'd probably have to do it manually but poe1 had filterblade.xyz (never sink's site) and it was nice to test visually. If the format is same as poe1, you could use the same site.

[exotic gazelle]

the current loot filters have funny colors and make the game seem like a cartoon

[lapis gate]

this was just a blue t8 map since i wanted to get a vid of it without the risk of dying but idk i dont have a ton of waystones or anything so none of my maps are crazy

[remote crescent]

Anyone know how/where to look up unique item tiers?

[exotic gazelle]

GGG needs to let us have an easy option to customize loot filters

[lapis gate]

hardest breach ive done was a t12 rare with irradiated and corruption and still didnt get any drops

[exotic gazelle]

i just wanna highlight precursor tablet drops ffs

[arctic crag]

that is how they were in the past tho, I like them. I wish we had the online loot filter upload soon so console players can use them.

[subtle roost]

ok, well content and rewards typically scale with mods on the map

[mint pivot]

I can show you how to do so if you'd like

[arctic crag]

Is it against server rules to offer to customize loot filters for divs?

[potent lodge]

do u just edit his filter file as text?

[broken charm]

Hey guys, so I'm playing fubguns LA build and he runs all bonus from quiver jewels. they are like 20 divs each. What would be a good substitute?

[exotic gazelle]

do you by any chance know how to change the color of one single drop (tablets)

[subtle roost]

yes

no trading

[arctic crag]

damn

[gilded wadi]

yes

[mint pivot]

Yes

[mint pivot]

yes

where the crap is this text file found even

[arctic crag]

this is literally the loot filter file you downloaded

.filter

[mint pivot]

click the file button next to your loot filter

[worldly raptor]

Anyone knows if ritual rewards scale off of anything, like tributes or MF? i'm gonna guess map tier, but other than that?

[exotic gazelle]

oh

[mint pivot]

it will take you to where it is

[exotic gazelle]

map tier, rng

[potent lodge]

how do i hide all waystones t12 and below?

[mint pivot]

What do you want it to look like?

[gilded wadi]

Hide
WaystoneTier < 13

[subtle roost]

https://www.pathofexile.com/item-filter/about

[exotic gazelle]

anything that catches the eye. im worried im missing tons of them

[agile granite]

How much does 4th ascendancy usually go for?

[worldly raptor]

So no need to try and stack as much tributes as possible for exemple other than to actually buy stuff?

[gilded wadi]

1div seems to be most common price, but sometimes people will go as low as 35ex it seems

[agile granite]

Damn, well im glad i asked. Almost bought one for 140ex

[arctic crag]

I definitely recommend using loot filter if you are on PC, it saves a lot of time, I personally find the default text too small to read.

[cerulean heart]

What is better to go for in the Atlas skills? +% Explicit modifiers on waystones, item rarity %, or number of rare/magic monsters?

[potent lodge]

that works, THANKS!

[exotic gazelle]

exalts reached 102:1 ratio to divines earlier today btw

[coarse fiber]

should i be hoarding divines or converting them to exalts to have extra?

[covert shoal]

final room before the final boss of the 4th floor in sekhmas, gave me affliction 0 energy shield, which killed my honor.....from 12k

stupid shrine ><

[arctic crag]

A month or two in, things will be more expensive and probably in divines.

[coarse fiber]

ok ill hoard ty. i just feel low on exalts after buying gear for my endgame build

[arctic crag]

you can break down like 1div if that is the case

[jade abyss]

everyone else is ignoring ima try this channel… can someone be so kind as to tell a young fellow gamer, what exactly does that symbol, next to my passive upgrade counter, indicate?

[gilded wadi]

Hmm why do you think that? I would think the opposite would be the case

[arctic crag]

Idk the economy in poe2 that well yet, I am still in early maps.

[exotic gazelle]

does anyone else hate the fuggen snakes in augury or is it just me

[jade abyss]

i would love to hover over said icon, but i cannot on console.

[drifting breach]

They did say they wanna fix eco so idk

[gilded wadi]

Sounds like an ES problem :p

[vivid linden]

We know the titan boss of The Forge is bugged with that weird attack that insta kills. Is there any trick to avoid that bugged attack?

[exotic gazelle]

i denounce the ES lifestyle and embrace the dodge on time lifestyle

[arctic crag]

I was estimating people slowing down and coming back for huntress/druid. I am very bad at trading so maybe I should've added that comment.

[gilded wadi]

I imagine that rarity is going to get nerfed along with some of the current methods to farm ridiculous amounts of currency which is going to make prices go down

[arctic crag]

Idk how to trade tbh. Like in the last poe1 necro settlers event, I sold 1 apothecary and didnt have to worry about currency after that at all. I prefer to just trade non-gear stuff.

what are people doing mostly, trading gear?

brother you are so based im crying irl 😭 tysm

[mint pivot]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Guide:Item_filter_guide#Color_Options If you want to change the color all the codes are here under color options

[drifting breach]

Naw they will prob add a currency sink

[mint pivot]

and it's also just a good resource for any changes you may want to make

[gilded wadi]

You can't (realistically) sink the amount of currency being dropped right now lol

[arctic crag]

there is already an infinite currency sink if you use the currency for the actual purpose to reroll mods vs buying. That is how I am always poor

[gloomy sigil]

Why we even want this in atlas? Better loot if rare and unique monster have more modifiers?

[gilded wadi]

yes, more modifiers means more loot

[mint pivot]

Yes more mods are loot multiplier

[subtle roost]

yes

[exotic gazelle]

yes

[gloomy sigil]

Mkay, thanks

[exotic gazelle]

you are now going to die due to excess modifiers 🤝

[mint pivot]

it can get dicey on bosses if you aren't one shotting them

[gloomy sigil]

🤝

[mint pivot]

temporal bubble hasted map boss :)

[gilded wadi]

Absolutely spec out of that if you do a citadel

[mint pivot]

yes lol

[exotic gazelle]

mana + flask stealing fast walking map boss that you cant outrun

[stiff musk]

if im going gemling, I don't need to swap my other gear to get attributes on them right

[exotic gazelle]

• tangible proximoty BS

[arctic crag]

Can you get temporaral bubble + mana leech + hasted?

[mint pivot]

Sorry, I could hear you over my Blood Magic

[split willow]

liar, i beat his ass. He barely did any damage, but man, after my mana ended it was so annoying

[mint pivot]

mana siphoners hate this one easy trick

[drifting breach]

U can

[arctic crag]

I've never seen temporal bubble + leech/charge steal combo yet.

[exotic gazelle]

based department 🫡

[drifting breach]

Lootsz

[mint pivot]

Trial master is legit the easiest "pinnacle" content in the game

bro is slow

[arctic crag]

I think the technically correct answer is that "item rarity" can be a suffix modifier rare monsters or something like that. We are gambling for that. Maybe a green name can confirm.

[arctic crag]

he is trial version

[drifting breach]

💀

[gilded wadi]

I don't think there is a way to make it work that doesn't brick other things. The problem is the disparity between the average players T15 loot and the loot of someone that is manipulating rarity correctly. Getting multiple divines per map on average is completely ridiculous and it must be removed.

[arctic crag]

getting multiple divs per map doesnt sound bad, ALL builds trying to build item rarity sounds bad

[subtle roost]

I think it's more like waystones having added waystone quant when you add mods that add difficulty
