[calm summit]

is various ground damage still stupidly tuned or am I just bad

t15, no problem 99.99% of the time.. occasional fire thingy or meteor, 1 shot

[vapid grove]

do shocks from Lwarps shocked ground count as ur shocks?

[chrome pollen]

what essense allows me to hit physc % dmg?

[upper warren]

yes but only get applied once, they have to leave it and reenter for it to apply again

[vapid grove]

if i apply a new instance on top of it should work tho?

[upper warren]

Waystones have the corruption outcome where all mods get turned to prefixes

[vapid grove]

or does it just extend the duration

[upper warren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1311052137819668612/1326917970219503668/image.png?ex=67827da9&is=67812c29&hm=14770f11e8ab922debc8fed3323a6ae5dc17ab71fc05b7a74910cd39d7a5f15d&

Should be an easy thing to test with cast on shock and energy build up, give me a sec

[mild spoke]

Has anyone encountered the bug where you completed a map and can't access the next one besides it ?

[chrome pollen]

how do i find citadels?

[near plank]

Yes it's common

[upper warren]

You move in a direction and hope

[chrome pollen]

ok

what will it look like?

[upper warren]

Surrounded by either walls or fields, pretty different look from everything else, you'll be able to spot it pretty easily

[near plank]

Google "citadels poe2" to see pictures of the landscapes

I would link but I'm on mobile

[upper warren]

This is a stone

[chrome pollen]

ok

[upper warren]

This is an iron

[chrome pollen]

ty

[upper warren]

And copper

[chrome pollen]

ty

[upper warren]

yes

[vapid grove]

so triggering a scattershot BL on bosses and warping to all 3 should technically just fire off BL again

it does

i like this

approved

[livid mortar]

If i defer an item in a ritual
can i reroll the same shop and still have the deferred item show up in a different map?

[near plank]

Yeah

[exotic gazelle]

is it normal for scattershot to do nothing to eye of winter

[vapid grove]

read eye of winter

[cold coral]

can you add delirium to a corrupted amulet?

[exotic gazelle]

what about it?

[exotic gazelle]

oh what lmao

[upper warren]

Apparently greater essences can spawn in acts

[exotic gazelle]

uhhh unleash makes it fire 2 projectiles every now and then

[vapid grove]

unleash makes u cast the spell twice it does not make it fire 2 proj

[nocturne grove]

my second every essense in campaign was greater. never seen another since

[exotic gazelle]

oh

[uncut abyss]

why are these green

[scenic torrent]

Is level like 90 plus just not reachable for most people? Im stuck at 90 ill like load into a map get 1 shotm i cant progress past level 90 been stuck here for luke 30 hours. Its not like I can buy better gear either a sI only have 30 ex too so idk man.

[scenic torrent]

They are allocated to Weapon set 2

[uncut abyss]

what does that mean

[scenic torrent]

They are assigned to only be active with a 2nd weapon set

[uncut abyss]

does this mean i used them all?

[jagged hound]

Youve used 0

[uncut abyss]

how do i use them...

[jagged hound]

You need unallocated passive points, then you just click the arrow next to those

[uncut abyss]

oh

whats the point tho?

[jagged hound]

You can for instance have weapon set 1 be full damage, while weapon set 2 carries a ton of additional duration and Curse effect passives to buff the first set

[uncut abyss]

o

i wish you could have 2 builds in the tree u could swap between 😭

[jagged hound]

My second weapon set swaps out all the cast speed i have for attack speed

[jagged hound]

Witchhunter gets to have 48 weapon set points

Almost half your tree

[uncut abyss]

idk what class that is

[jagged hound]

Mercenary

[uncut abyss]

o

[inland patio]

Hi, I try to carry people for Sekhemas Trial but when they join they instantly die or says the failed and cant join the portal why?

[jagged hound]

Every point of honor damage you took during the trial is instantly applied to them when joining

This is why carries specify people need a certain amount of life+ES

[azure goblet]

yo quick qns

how much does normmal breach rings sell for

[inland patio]

only the missing honour or all I have take during the whole trial even after I recover them to full?

[jagged hound]

Not sure

[chrome pollen]

like normal ones?

[azure goblet]

yea

like no affixes

[chrome pollen]

ive been buying them for 1ex

[upper warren]

You can also drop soul cores in acts apparently?

[azure goblet]

okok

[tropic quarry]

Actual kind of spoilery question: Where does the Hooded One go after the campaign?

Was looking around my hideout for the dude, and I guess Doryani's sitting in for them now.

[jagged hound]

We dont know cuz story's uncomplete

He just kinda dips ig

[trail depot]

How do the stormweavers get 1 health and big es?

[jagged hound]

Chaos Innoculation keystone

[uncut abyss]

its just annoying with my warrior cause i wanna be able to clear ads and deal boss damage but my monk 5 levels lower can do it so much better

[subtle nimbus]

i tried opening a map with an unidentified waystone and it let me, now it says this in the map

is this some sorta secret or a nothing burger

[jagged hound]

Thats funny, idk if it does anything

[subtle nimbus]

[drowsy trail]

Is this my first great unique?
Is this as valuable for a spark build as I imagine?

[jagged hound]

No spell levels 😔

[burnt jewel]

Hello! Will a monster hit when I have hungry fangs afflictiion and chaos inoculation kill me when full energy shield? Help!

[manic matrix]

Hey guys, i watched a lot of videos on youtube about getting lightning conduit cast on shock with spark
But its damage is not even noticable on bosses, was it nefred?

[little stone]

Anyone tell me what you'd price this at im having a hard time finding anything with the stats like it on the market?

[pastel elm]

is waystone drop chance the only thing that matters to drop multiple fragments in citadel? or is it item quantity?

[glacial geode]

Where do I get tier 16

[chrome pollen]

vaaling a t15

[daring sky]

Am i missing something? How do i get to the last rares?

[chrome tangle]

No spots to use traveling skills? (leap, blink, etc)

[daring sky]

dont have any, this is the closest i can get to the other side

[glacial geode]

What is vaaling

[chrome pollen]

using a vaal orb

[chrome tangle]

You can grab a Ball Lightning (with inreased projectile speed) and Lightning Warp and reach the other side

[arctic crag]

this guy vaals

[bright shuttle]

Do higher tier maps give better rarity loot?

[chrome tangle]

If there is Line of Sight

[arctic crag]

My understanding is that a 0 mod map would be the same for all tiers except the monster levels and as a result ilvls of the items dropped?

Dropped item rarity and and monster rarity are separate explicit mods.

[fleet steppe]

Cc @jagged hound
I don't think he enters ||the past|| with you right? That's why Alva is the only one there

[bright shuttle]

im confused. so besides difficulty whats the point of higher tier waystones

[fleet steppe]

No

[fleet steppe]

Higher ilvl

So you can drop better bases

And mods

[arctic crag]

They actually do say that they are following the beast tracks while we go investigate vaal ruins

[fathom veldt]

are delirium immune to freeze?

[bright shuttle]

also

[arctic crag]

And higher ilevel can roll high tier of mods. Doesnt increase for each level but there are slabs, you can check in poe2db

[bright shuttle]

what do these symbols mean

[fleet steppe]

Right but the main point is that after act 3 we're ||stuck in the past||

[fleet steppe]

The central symbols? Just thematic

[bright shuttle]

ah

[arctic crag]

yea I think they didnt tie it together prolly because of unfinished acts. I usually don't care about the story that much in this genre of games but I have been playing couch coopy with my wife and she's been asking me

So I think the hooded one says || the vaal have encountered the beast and tried to stop it but failed, there might be clues in ruins, but we run into Alva by happenstance and time travel instead of just present time archaelogy||

[fleet steppe]

Also they ended act 3 normal and act 3 cruel differently haha. I believe act 3 cruel is the "real" ending

[arctic crag]

yea the normal sounds specifically to tie it into going back

[chrome pollen]

how do i get greater essences by doing the essences and hope for it?

[arctic crag]

also a homage to poe1

[unborn tusk]

how much would something like this be worth? I have no idea what weapon swap speed even does for anyone

[arctic crag]

So I am not rich enough but I swear this works. I did this in like day 3-4 of EA. Reforging bench works weirdly for essences, it gives a completely random same tier essence but Rarely gives a greater essence.

I could've just faked this memory but I swear this happened and I didnt know how rare they were and used it

[chrome tangle]

Go to #price-check📉

[arctic crag]

Are you running essence tablets btw?

[novel flame]

is it a viusal bug that, i seldom can see lost tower's radius?

[arctic crag]

yes but only in hideout map device

[unborn tusk]

I guess the better question for here would be more in that case "what the fuck does weapon swap speed do for melees"

[arctic crag]

it works in the zigg temple or whatever that place is

The place where we start "endgame"

Btw, I kinda juiced ritual and am struggling with it and regret my decision. Idk if there are any ritual specific tips, I am just trying to improve my build. Considering going more defensive (switching to Damage reduction in tailwind ascendancy tree over projectile nodes just for this). Does this rationale make sense?

[chrome tangle]

You swap weapons faster (e.g. when you press X on PC or use skill that is tied to other weapon set)

[unborn tusk]

that... doesn't seem very good?

isn't the speed already pretty fast

why would you want it faster for a jewel slot

[arctic crag]

It can be, but idk if there are any good use cases and I havent played melee at all.

Well technically I am using the pillar twink to level but besides that, no.

And I agree weapon swap speed was barely noticeable for galvanic shards + Lighntning rod.

[arctic crag]

Since I can't put a lot of distance between me and enemies and my res are as high as I could get (still not capped but close and chaos is like 40%), I am thinking of dropping damage for defense.

[tranquil wagon]

wonder if it's possible to drop 4 unique relics from zarokh

with 120%+ of relics dropped i'm consistently getting 3

[scenic marlin]

how do i get to the last rare mob?

[tranquil wagon]

possibly bugged

gg go next

[tranquil wagon]

rn im sacrificing all my honour res to have around 150%, lets see if i can drop 4 lul

[fathom veldt]

are delirious monsters immune to all ailments?****

[fleet steppe]

Shouldn't be

[fathom veldt]

i cant freeze them no matter how high my cold damage and freeze buildup is

[fleet steppe]

But if you were highly delirious you have significant any dmg penalty

[fleet steppe]

Other mobs freeze?

[fathom veldt]

ye, double herald ranger, clears 2-3 screens with one shot, but delirious monsters just stand unfazed

[placid sleet]

can u divine jewels

[tranquil wagon]

i feel like they have a bit of a invulnerability peroid after spawning

[tranquil wagon]

yes

no reason you wouldn't be able to

[placid sleet]

it only changes the values right

[tranquil wagon]

yep

[glacial geode]

What to do once done t-16

[gleaming obsidian]

does anyone bother picking up lower tier waystones?

[chrome tangle]

I don't, not sure what you can do with them xD
But in SSF it might be worth to look for "Area contains an additional Essence" mods or maybe some others.

[oblique remnant]

hey guys, do you clear maps before applying the precursor tablet to ensure the nodes you want to apply it?

[loud hearth]

hello guys is anyone doing a 4th ascension trial for free?

[willow ruin]

i don't

[willow ruin]

i pick them up

[fallow orbit]

anyone know of despair's decrease chaos resistance works for hexblast?

[kind cypress]

Whats the website called where you can see available prefix/suffix

And tiers

[willow ruin]

https://poe2db.tw/us/

[manic matrix]

Hey guys, i`m playing spark build, it shreds maps, but sompletely sucks against bosses. Should i have a backup skill to switch to for bosses, or can you guys clear T17 bosses with spark?

[willow ruin]

I've found whenever I use distilled ire to buff a waystone, and then I do a delirium mirror map, I can't find the mirror anywhere. Is there a way to find it? Is it a bug?? Should I just use non buffed maps?

[kind cypress]

How do you get to the actual page to see it all

Im a lil slow

[willow ruin]

click modifiers, then click the item you want

[warm bobcat]

Is there any use in instilling waystones witrhg the delirium things?

[crystal wyvern]

is there a way to corrupt a node on the map or do they just spawn like that?

[willow ruin]

yea, you should use the cheapest one at least and sell the simulacrum shards you get to get like 3x your money back

[chrome tangle]

Waystones that are buffed with delirium have no timer and no mirror. That is how it works. I think it says it in game tooltip.

[warm bobcat]

wdy,m cheapest one and what are simulacrum shards?

[kind cypress]

Ty

[willow ruin]

oh so like you just forfeit any distilled emotions you earn?

[willow ruin]

distilled ire is the cheapest, it gives 20% more rare monsters and lets distilled bosses and units spawn. Those have a chance to drop simulacrum shards, 300 make an item to fight an endgame boss. A simulacrum shard sells for near an exalt, so multiple will get you the exalts you spent getting any distilled ires

[candid flicker]

How many breachstones is a good amount per breach?

[fast jasper]

I'm in a fortress map atm and it has 9 breaches lol ....

[warm bobcat]

Does it matter what waystone l;evel you use them on? Like for example with breaches the waystone needs to be like 10+ or whatever it was before you get splinters. Is it the same with the shards?

[willow ruin]

i dunno, i've only used them on 15s so far

[quiet edge]

I finished T15. Do I keep clearing map towers or can I start irradiating and build what I have open.

[winged mulch]

What makes an expedition logbook expensive?

[warm bobcat]

Guess we';re about to find out on thios T6 haha

[loud hearth]

anyone doing 4th ascension for free please?

[willow ruin]

being level 79 and above

[willow ruin]

if you keep doing maps in one direction your "more likely" to find a citadel, but yea you can go hogwild

[crystal wyvern]

with the corrupted infusion passive on the atlas, is there a chance the waystone is a tier higher?

[fleet steppe]

Any corruption out come except I think t17 doesn't exist(?l

[quiet edge]

Thanks.

[indigo turtle]

I don't understand Delirium, I never seem to be able to get more than 3 before it ends. What am I doing wrong? I'm running around the map blasting mobs and touching the mirrors that spawn more

[undone merlin]

just killed the last monsterr on this map xcept the boss and instantly died. no splosion nothing. grrr.

[terse badger]

Question:
If im looking for citidels I know I have to push to corruption but does it hurt my chances of one showing up if I push in another direction as well? or is set in stone in my map me moving around isnt going to change where anything is?

[fading kettle]

I got the skill

[deft furnace]

what is this?

[magic delta]

The Citadel

[deft furnace]

how do i go into it

[magic delta]

Complete maps towards it

Waystones, sorry

[deft furnace]

like the maps around it?

[novel crow]

click on the skull once you have a map next to it done; it's just another map

"just" haha

[magic delta]

You see the pathways from each map? You have to complete them to progress further

[deft furnace]

theres no pathway leading to it though

i have one next to it done but cant go into it

[magic delta]

There was a quest from Doryani

There's a ton you have to do before you can actually do anything in there anyway

[deft furnace]

wdym?

[fleet steppe]

3 what, 3 emotions? That's normal. Killing more mobs gives you higher tier of emotions, not more quant iirc

[deft furnace]

yeah i have this but its pretty vague

[indigo turtle]

no i mean i end up at lvl 3

[deft furnace]

dont know what the burning monolith is

[indigo turtle]

which is the basic bitch one

im not doing the delirium properly but idk what i need to improve

[deft furnace]

oh

[magic delta]

You have to complete those three Citadels

And good luck finding them

[deft furnace]

thanks

does it take long

[magic delta]

Yes

[deft furnace]

bruhh

rip

[magic delta]

I haven't even found one yet

I'm level 89

[balmy hinge]

When do good things actually start dropping?
I have this much rarity, and running 100% rarity 15/16/17 maps and gettin fuckall like 3-4ex per run.

[deft furnace]

damn that sucks because my build is aimed toward bossing

poe1 was easy to get to pinnacle bosses imo

[serene frost]

I revamped all my gear with 100 exes for my spark but lost some spirit to active my Archmage.

Where can I get 60 more?

[fleet steppe]

That's normal.

[magic delta]

From your chest, weapon and amulet

[balmy hinge]

Whats with these people getting divs every run? Exploiters?

[magic delta]

Where do you see this at?

[deft furnace]

magic find i think could be wrong though

[balmy hinge]

On your skill gem press the little arrow

[fleet steppe]

Every? I doubt it. Unless they mean 1d worth of lot rather than raw div

Also, juice your maps

[magic delta]

Thanks

[balmy hinge]

Yeah ig I can start putting delerium stuff on em

I do use tablets tho

[trim spire]

Just completed level 80 sanctum, why no grand spectrum chest?

[loud hearth]

anyone doing 4th ascension for free please?

[balmy hinge]

Which distill is best to put on em?

[empty brook]

Maps with map boss + corrupted cant be irradiated or am i just very unlucky?

[chrome swan]

hey guys sorry to bug but if i use catalyst will it add stats on its only or only enchance whats already on it im trying to figure out what to put on this i need atts and defense bad

[opal knot]

what's the level cutoff for trials of sekh/chaos that i should be doing for farming items?

hyper endgame

[novel flame]

you are forcing me to do this at the beginning? lol

[deft furnace]

holy shit

2 divines dropped for first time in one t7 map

stonks

[lean creek]

Does Twisted Domain difficulty matter for HoWA droprates? Or is it faster to just faceroll a +0 Xesht if I'm only looking for the gloves?

[fleet steppe]

It improves mods with a certain tag (based on catalyst used)

[barren atlas]

anyway to look at a list of all your boons/afflictions on console?

[winged mulch]

what makes an expedition logbook 50ex vs. 1 d?

[undone merlin]

Are caster weapon qualities still bugged?dont wanna waste these etchers

[tropic quarry]

Why do you hate me?

[tranquil wagon]

this meas i just have to no-hit 3 rooms right?

should be easy enough

gottem

[novel crow]

love that one, and phys, and lightning, and fire, since I only do cold, but immune to cold...

[upbeat mist]

when doing trials of the sekemas; how am I supposed to go to town? The portal always breaks. Also; if I leave the treasure room; it KICKS ME OUT of the treasure room if i go back to the front room of the trials

[empty brook]

Maps with map boss and corruption cant be irradiated?

[tranquil wagon]

yep, if you leave the treasure room its gone, you can go back can forth to town though

[novel crow]

yes they can, but irradiation affects random maps

[tranquil wagon]

if you leave after a boss you're also able to pick up your barya from the altar and do it at a different time

[empty brook]

i tried a bunch of times and it just ignored the map boss, i just got unlucky then?

[novel crow]

yes

[empty brook]

oh okay, thanks

[tranquil wagon]

the portal back to sekhemas in town doesn't work, but you can just go there through a waypoint and reenter your trial by clicking the altar that opens them

[swift juniper]

Can someone give me a free 4th ascendancy carry please if possible

[buoyant pebble]

To obtain the audience with the king on rituals in maps, is there a minimum map level required for it to spawn or can it happen on any level? I don't want to waste high end maps.

[unborn tusk]

does anyone know how this boon works if I Get it in the boss shop?

[tranquil wagon]

it doesnt

[unborn tusk]

does it immediately go away or does it

[wanton dawn]

holyy fuckk tablets are expensiveaf

[unborn tusk]

yeah ok

[tranquil wagon]

since you wont be finding any more water on this floor

[unborn tusk]

wasn't sure if the shop counted as next floor or not

[tranquil wagon]

you also farming sekhemas?

[unborn tusk]

how rare are the time-lost caches?

I haven't found a single one

yeah

[tranquil wagon]

pretty rare, i ran like 20 sekhemas today and had 2 or 3 of those chests

0 spectrum yet

what relics are you running? @unborn tusk

[unborn tusk]

uhh

lot of shop discount

and move speed

[tranquil wagon]

hmm

today i switched fully to relics found and i have to say its pretty nice, zarokh drops me 3 every run

still no temporalis one though

[sly crater]

The invulnerability boon moment's peace does not work, is that a known issue?

[tranquil wagon]

it always worked for me

so idk

[sly crater]

and fk

fk outlpayed

dogshit app

so inconsistent

Well

since i don't have a recording

ye

i had moment's peace

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/488747589475237895/1327471816490487869/image.png?ex=67832ff8&is=6781de78&hm=60fc282d4c893658e90965ea8c67d060a84f644688388bc719af4b6e9c6be388&

and died to the rotating laser attack of the boss

instantly shredded me

with max res

and 12k ehp

[fleet steppe]

I don't think "cannot be damaged" prevents honour loss

Unless you mean it actually killed you

[tranquil wagon]

it does

did you perhaps have the affliction

[sly crater]

honor loss prevention was the only thing working

[tranquil wagon]

hits remove 5% oh hp and es

[sly crater]

nope

i checked

[amber helm]

ive seen it not working, yeah

[sly crater]

midfight

for some godforsaken reason

[tranquil wagon]

anyways, sweet drop from the 1st floor boss lol

[sly crater]

the game doesn't like me

[fleet steppe]

Oh wierd, I see weird that blocking a hit still does honour damage then

[sly crater]

anyway

this is enough early access bullshit for me kekw

i'll come back when they iron out the kinks

and the crafting system

god

[tranquil wagon]

onyl weird bug i had was my flask hurting me when i had a particualr hat on

but it fixed itself the next day

[fleet steppe]

Check in over weekend for patch notes at least, even if you don't play

[sly crater]

13 divs for each step when crafting is shameless

[sly crater]

i always do 😭

[tranquil wagon]

and it happened with this hat, and this hat only

my hp flask just strikes me with lightning for 1300 dmg

now it still strikes me with lightning but doesn't do dmg anymore

[amber bough]

if a waystone has "monsters deal 39% of damage as extra lightning" and I have 79 lightning res, does that mean the mob does 39% * .21 = 8% more dmg?

[novel crow]

depends entirely on what their base damage is and your resistance to that too

[barren atlas]

how do I see what boons/afflictions I have ina trial on console

[novel crow]

if their base damage is already lightning then they do 39% more dmg

[barren atlas]

also ngl I was really liking trials til floor 4

[tranquil wagon]

floor 4 is a little tricky

[barren atlas]

floor 4 doesnt feel hard it just feels unfair. Monsters teleport into your face and shoot you for 1k honor from across the room

half the time I dont know what is even hitting me cause theres so much visual clutter with all the sand and teleports

[fiery flower]

what map is SUMP? is it good for breeches?

[acoustic dove]

how hard is breach boss vs sekhemas boss

[fiery flower]

he gets harder over time the first time is pretty easy

[barren atlas]

Zarokh up next. dont think im winning this

[fiery flower]

cant you leave and have people join you?

[unborn tusk]

speak of the devil

[barren atlas]

they will instnatly take 10k damage

[fiery flower]

oh interesting

idk how much honor i even start with

[amber bough]

uhh does it? also i said my resist

[tranquil wagon]

man

[primal dagger]

Am i really unlucky or is it impossible to T16 an instilled map plz ?

[unborn tusk]

which is the good one again

[barren atlas]

I feel like "lose 5% max life/es/mana when hit" affliction is bugged becausse ever since I took it hits do WAYY more honor damage relative do the damage they do

enemies were doing like 10 honor damage on my level 69 trial but on 79 they deal like 500

im not even losing that much life from their hits but the honor damage is insane. I wodner if the 75+ trials reduces your honor resistance or somethign?

[alpine tulip]

Need some help guys, I am playing with my buddy and not getting any exp.. I am a lower level than him

[barren atlas]

we needs to enable scaling

theres an option that lets him lower his power to let you continue to get xp

[novel crow]

Yes it does, see my followup comment

If their damage is already lightning then it's a pure 39% more dmg

[amber bough]

I see

so if it’s not light already, then it’s 8% in my case

[novel crow]

assuming you have equal or less resistance to the other elements/physical, it's 8% more at most

[barren atlas]

uhhh my game is frozen? Is this normla? do I have to log out?

[amber bough]

trying to decide how dangerous this map would be for count geonor citadel

i dont think he does any light dmg

[novel crow]

If you had say 90% physical damage reduction with physical base damage then it's actually more than 8%

[alpine tulip]

Thank you

[amber bough]

i dont think i have any phys dmg reduction

[novel crow]

yeah you need a shitton of armour to get 90%

[amber bough]

i think i have literally 0%

lol

[novel crow]

ES and evasion builds usually have that yeah

but your ES will protect you against X flat physical damage, assuming it's charged

physical effective hit points are usually less than the elements for most builds

[barren atlas]

if I log out of a trial mid-floor instead of at the end, do I lose it?

or can I resume mid-floor

[novel crow]

caveat: I'm basing this information on POE1 mechanics, but I assume they're all the same for this

[amber bough]

I’m a titan

0 ES or evasion pretty much

[novel crow]

shitloads of life?

[amber bough]

where do I get physical DR other than like shield affix?

Close to 5k life

[novel crow]

armour

[elfin folio]

wtf is this ghost ship being summoned?! haha

[amber bough]

oh I have like 7k armor but I thought that’s a diff calculation based on the incoming dmg

[novel crow]

armour will show you on your character sheet what your estimated physical dmg reduction is

[neon elbow]

Um, just found the stone citadel in maps, but I died on it. Now it just says map failed instead of retry?

[novel crow]

hover over the armour value

[stuck crypt]

What does HoWa stand for?

[novel crow]

there are also passive nodes and special items like "iron reflexes" that convert all evasion into armour

[amber bough]

that’s not relevant though because armor DR is calculated based on the incoming damage amount, so that stat is basically meaningless… the armor formula is armor/(armor + 12 * dmg), so if it’s a big hit scales down the DR a ton

[novel crow]

or "gain X% of evasion as armour"

[novel crow]

Sure I get that

but you do have physical damage reduction

[amber bough]

yeah I guess so, for boss it’s not much tho

[unique gust]

am i dumb and doing something wrong and can not get a trial item to drop for my 3rd ascension?

[novel crow]

c/w my sorc which has effectively none

[amber bough]

yeah you need it on war for the small hits I’ve found

[novel crow]

phys hurts hard when my ES is drained

[amber bough]

like breach gets sketch if armor is too low

[novel crow]

breach kicks my arse

I've basically avoided it so far...

I'll worry about it later lol

[buoyant raven]

hello quick question when teaming up against pinnacle boss:

• if one of us die, can we revive the other one?
• is it possible for one of us to stand outside the boss fight and receive the rewards afterwards ?

[amber bough]

can sorc abuse the herald of frost tech?

[novel crow]

no

[amber bough]

that changed my life but won’t last long

[novel crow]

we can't use heralds at all

well we could if we did physical damage

but as a rule sorcs do elemental or chaos dmg

a minion build could use it with minions that do phys

2 leagues ago in poe1 the heralds and auras were twice as effective for witches as they are now; they changed most of them to be for melee builds

poe2 it's even worse

they're almost unusable by elementalists

[balmy hinge]

Does this remove after you kill the boss or after you go to the next stage?

[novel crow]

my witch in poe1 I used to run 5 auras lol

[sharp marlin]

why is tower still not showing its radius for me? I thought a patch fixed it

I am running standalone client

beside going to refuge

[amber bough]

ok so let’s say boss would do 3k phys with 40% extra light dmg, and I have 80% light res and 7k armor and no other sources of relevant DR, is this how much dmg I take?

(1 - 7000/(7000 + 12*3000)) * 3000 * 1.4 * 0.8

fuck no that’s wrong

[lapis valve]

does honour resistance receive the same penalty from campaigns?

[sly crater]

how do people get that extra inventory space?

[lapis valve]

i believe it's an ascendancy point

[sly crater]

huh

[novel crow]

huh

[sly crater]

HAHAHAHA

[sly crater]

i feel you

[novel crow]

lol

[lapis valve]

i could be wrong :X

"One of the warrior ascendancy nodes gives extra inventory, you probably somehow bugged into seeing it."

[round cairn]

Part of Titan's ascendancy point

[lapis valve]

from reddit

[novel crow]

ic

[lapis valve]

now if someone could help with my question before i attempt last point

[sly crater]

oh ye

wtf

[novel crow]

wow cute

makes sense I guess if you're huge

Who says you need to be a titan though?

[grizzled grotto]

are citadels tall enough to poke thru the fog like the towers and the burning monolith?

[balmy hinge]

Is this permanent?

[grizzled grotto]

for the duration of the trial yes

unless you get it removed in some way

[balmy hinge]

I mean like does it peramently remove this amount from me, or do they deal this as extra damage?

[grizzled grotto]

extra damage

[balmy hinge]

ah then its fine

[grizzled grotto]

I guess it could be permanent if you have no recovery

[round cairn]

Can someone eli5 breaches and irradiate difference for the endgame map?

[fleet steppe]

if you did physical damage attacks

[balmy hinge]

Man I have such a good run, I should've put in the diamond thing

[viral stratus]

That's one of the better afflictions to take, not very dangerous

[fleet steppe]

not yet, it's a "known issue"

[grave sky]

bro i am sick of these dog shit waystones

[grizzled grotto]

they're supposed to have a radius?

[grave sky]

mire augury crypt

so fucking dog shit

i see a cluster of watch towers so i head towards it so i can juice my maps and then all the nodes around it are augury mire and crypt

like what gives?

[fleet steppe]

it doesn't remove maximum life/mana/es

[grave sky]

who the fuck created these maps

so fucking stupid

[drowsy walrus]

can someone help me understand catalysts on rings? I'm looking for Death Rush... why would it have life catalysts on it if theres no affix for life?

[amber bough]

I honestly don’t know how I’m gonna play another class without the titan bag space

[fleet steppe]

irradiate literally is just +1 alvl

[grave sky]

i absolutely hate these map layouts

its the worst aspect of this game

[round cairn]

What's alvl?

[amber bough]

yeah the backtracking is so bad, some maps I swear they just wanted to piss off the player

[grave sky]

its actually worse than d4 map layouts

its hilariously worse

[amber bough]

way worse

and in d4 people complained about the backtracking a ton, and it was like 1/10th as bad as this

[grave sky]

poe shillers can't even deny this either

[tropic quarry]

Just in case, you know you can teleport between checkpoints right?

In case you need to go back in a map.

[amber bough]

there are no checkpoints in maps

[tropic quarry]

Oh, backtracking in maps

[grave sky]

we're in after acts help

[tropic quarry]

I mean, that's just on you to path.

[grave sky]

oh hey its a coper

LMAO

[tropic quarry]

Meh? People can still complain about campaign here.

[grave sky]

can't cope with the facts

[fleet steppe]

area level

[grave sky]

gotta run the mental gymnastics

[tropic quarry]

Oh, you're some of those people.

[grave sky]

perfect game! learn to path!

[amber bough]

nope. literally unavoidable. many maps give you a fork in the road, there is no way to not have to go back to the fork and go the other way

[tropic quarry]

Carry on the pity party, I'll sit out.

[grave sky]

wha tdo you eman sit out?

you jumped in

LMAO

[uncut cypress]

What is the best way to farm gold

[amber bough]

vendor yellows

[grizzled grotto]

and run high level juiced maps

[amber bough]

or run maps with gold find on them

[grave sky]

funny how a bug enhances your atlas point of view

its almost like this should be the default view

[dire frigate]

Why can I not go to the bottom one there? (ive finished the map im on)

[grave sky]

probably cuz early access

[dire frigate]

Oof, i need to go down there and would be a nice shortcut, ig ill go around

[amber bough]

a lot of times in those situations there’s an invisible node inside the mountain, you might be able to hover around there and click it

[uncut abyss]

whats the best witch build for endgame?

[grizzled grotto]

might be more people who could advise you better here https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1315438235631091772

[dire frigate]

Nope, nothing there

[grizzled grotto]

I haven't looked into witch builds so idk what's meta, but I'd assume alot of them use archmage cause I've heard that mentioned alot

[waxen geyser]

Log out and back in again. You've completed the map but often for me it will still register as in progress so this might work.

[dire frigate]

It shows completed when i went away from it

[upbeat geyser]

i think there is a low life demon form infernalist build that's the most popular that i've seen out of the witch builds

[signal lantern]

do tributes carry over or u need to spend them each map?

[dire frigate]

I dont believe they carry over

[grizzled grotto]

nope they don't carry over

[amber helm]

they do not carry over

[grizzled grotto]

spend it while ya got it

[signal lantern]

okey thanks!

[waxen geyser]

Might show competed but something is stuck. Try logging out anyway if nothing else is working

[dire frigate]

mk

[grizzled grotto]

feels like a 50/50 chance for baryas or ultimatums. my growing collection of them is staying pretty close to even.

[pliant fiber]

Hey guys just wanted to ask a question. What are people treating as end game in this game? Im still in the acts but what is something to work towards? In poe 1 I used to go for league challenges and the skins that came with it but in this game I don't think that's a thing.

[grizzled grotto]

mapping is endgame

[dire frigate]

End game is once your done the acts...? the act at the top says "Endgame"...?

Its essentially 15 tiers of endless maps

[pliant fiber]

That's not what I mean. I know mapping is end game but what are some goals?

[dire frigate]

Thats up to you

[grizzled grotto]

and some citadels and pinnacle bosses

[dire frigate]

I guess finding all 3 citadels, which are really rare

[amber helm]

you get currency, then you upgrade your build, then you get more currency, then you upgrade your build, then...

[pliant fiber]

Ah I see they have pinnacle bosses already?

[dire frigate]

True that

[floral quail]

Are Sekhemas/Chaos worth running after you have full ascendancies? Running out of stash space.

[grizzled grotto]

each mechanic has a pinnacle boss and there's a big mapping boss you have to explore for

[pliant fiber]

Okay that's cool. Thanks

[grizzled grotto]

time to buy more tabs

[dire frigate]

I wish, i just got the bundle for one of each

[pliant fiber]

I'm surprised there is no map tab

[tropic quarry]

Want my tabs, but really want to wait for the tab sale to come back around 😅

Need more between maps and mechanics not having their own dedicated tabs.

[grizzled grotto]

you can run them if you want. I would think the soul things from ultimatum would be worth something and there's a chance at some fancy jewels in sekhema

[dire frigate]

agreed, omens not belonging anywhere, along with waystones, etc. all not having tabs is weird

[grizzled grotto]

forget the name of the jewels but they have their own specific box

I really didn't expect deli to not have its tab carry over

[tropic quarry]

Omens, waystones, emotions, runes, splinters... don't think we even have the expedition locker now.

[grizzled grotto]

looked thru all my tabs and it's not updated

[dire frigate]

True

[grizzled grotto]

tbf, omens don't even have a tab in poe1

[tropic quarry]

ofc, was just more demonstrating a compounding problem lol

Like if I had a waystone tab I would probably be pretty happy with the rest being scattered.

[grizzled grotto]

but why do we not have the fragment tab updated for emotions and splinters and the map tab updated for waystones

they had to know we'd need storage for all these waystones

[vapid grove]

when pob

[tropic quarry]

Soon ™️

[grizzled grotto]

tho it would need to be dumbed down I guess since it would go from 115 different maps + unique maps + influenced maps down to just t1-15 waystones

[tropic quarry]

Honestly, I'm ready. Want to put my build to the grindstone and see how much I screwed up (assuming it supports dots)

[grizzled grotto]

I think pob should be pretty soon, I think they were planning on finishing it a couple months after EA launch

[tropic quarry]

That's kind of what got me about it. It would basically just be a 15-page standard stash tab.
Wonder if they're trying to polish it into something that works/sorts nicely.

Probably maps and tablets, same tab.

[grizzled grotto]

I bet they're polishing it

would be pretty bland for the premium price if it was just 15 tier tabs

[dire frigate]

I mean they could basically make it similar to the gem tab and id be happy

[tropic quarry]

Let's not get crazy here.

Gem tab and I are not currently getting along.

[grizzled grotto]

nah, we'd fill up a 500 waystone tab super fast

no way that would work

[dire frigate]

It can easily be more then 500, just gem tab sorting of the waystones since a dedicated space per tier wouldnt work since they dont stack

[dire frigate]

500 is MORE Then enough though, thats basically 7 entire shashes all in one, idk why your being greedier then that

[grizzled grotto]

imo, it would need to have the fundamentals of the map tab, at least 72 slots per tier or something and I'd prefer the tabs for each tier over having to look thru the rows

[dire frigate]

They could simply have sorting to sort which tier and not show the other rows

Similar to searching for cut gems

[tropic quarry]

Considering the lore of the whole thing that's going on post-game, I wonder if the long term plan would be to bring back maps (the locations) being tied to waystones, rather than on the grid.

[grizzled grotto]

poe1 map tab currently holds at least 8300 individual maps, I don't think 1,000+ is a big ask

[dire frigate]

This sounds like p2w greed more then anything to me xD

[barren atlas]

huh

[grizzled grotto]

calling tabs p2w is a stretch

[barren atlas]

the whole point of having specific stash tabs is to have so much space you'd never have to use a regular tab again for those items

[dire frigate]

They really are, my dad has 0 bought ones and is REALLY struggling with stash space before even REACHING endgame

[dire frigate]

You'd understand if you played without them

[barren atlas]

you think we havent?

[dire frigate]

Sure doesnt seem like it

[amber helm]

i played without them for like a year

[grizzled grotto]

you also have to consider the value the tab holds for people who previously bought it

[amber helm]

also i dont think i had like 2 tabs full by the time i hit maps

and half of that was junk anyway

[grizzled grotto]

I kept below 2 tabs for the whole campaign as well. didn't start using my quads til a couple days ago.

a big part of this game is inventory management

[sly crater]

i played the first week of my first league without tabs, also, its not pay to win, its pay to play which is vastly different, you don't get an advantage over others strictly speaking

[glossy galleon]

cant pause during pinnacle fights, so do i just logout asap?

or can i alt f4

etc

[barren atlas]

yeah tabs are a one-time thing. You dont have to re-buy them every league

[sly crater]

exactly

and for most casual players, 3 premium tabs max is like all that they'll ever need

[barren atlas]

tabs are basically like a free trial thing-
If you have to buy them, then either:

1. You might have a hoarding problem or
   2: you have played the game enough to run out of space, in which case why not spend 4$ on a tab to suppor tthe game youve been palying for free

[grizzled grotto]

well I have a hoarding problem

[sly crater]

i am not a casual, i like the game, i wanna reward the hard work GGG has put in the game, so i bought packs

[tropic quarry]

Heck, apparently we don't have to re-buy them every game lol

[dire frigate]

Like that is just too far

[tropic quarry]

I would say that's pretty good value.

[sly crater]

there are more down there

[sly crater]

and, not really

[dire frigate]

The fact you can even do that is why im half considering stopping playing this game

[barren atlas]

LOL WHAT

[dire frigate]

I said it

[sly crater]

do what?

[tropic quarry]

If the fact that someone can store more stuff than you is what's getting you to quit, I'm not sure you had much to stay for 😦

[dire frigate]

All those tabs, there should be a limit

[barren atlas]

HUH

[dire frigate]

Rude

[amber helm]

that's your choice but it's a very silly rationale.

[sly crater]

why the hell should there be mate, im a filthy standard player on poe1 so i need my space

[barren atlas]

POE has like the best F2P model I've ever seen

[dire frigate]

You'd understand if you tried playing games these days without money

[tropic quarry]

I felt like it was pretty rational, didn't say you were making a wrong choice.
Just making an observation about* it.

[amber helm]

i would understand this game if i played other games ?

[barren atlas]

the game has a $30 buy in you literally have to buy points that you can buy stash tabs with to play the game

[amber helm]

yeah there's plenty of bad experiences out there

this is not one of them

[grizzled grotto]

I've played plenty of games without paying for them. I like this game and want it to thrive so I support it.

[dire frigate]

Im just going to go though, no point sitting here

Bye

[barren atlas]

what

[amber helm]

[barren atlas]

this is the most wild critique of POE i've ever heard

there are so many things to criticize

why this

[amber helm]

how do you feel that by buying too many supporter packs you have singlehandedly steered a player away from this game

[tropic quarry]

Was going to say, "there should be a limit to how many stash tabs you can buy" has never been on my bingo card.

[grizzled grotto]

everything in the store is purely cosmetic and has no direct effect on gameplay

[uncut abyss]

which witch ascension is better

[amber helm]

mfw people like a game and its developer so they actually want to spend their money

[barren atlas]

you even need LESS stash tabs now thats town portal scrolls are gone and this game has so fewer currencies/fragments than poe1 rn

[amber helm]

o shit i used the wrong its at first

mortal sin

[sly crater]

https://tenor.com/view/t1-faker-absolute-cinema-league-lol-gif-11127587466404389672

[sly crater]

bro, you forgot about waypoints

[grizzled grotto]

did you try asking here? https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1315438235631091772
might be more people who can advise you better

[amber helm]

yeah if you're not buying a million bases or being a giga crafter or something and have the slightest idea of how to manage your items you can do just fine on the basic tabs (except for trading)

[sly crater]

exactly, and you could also play ssf if you're that poor

[dire frigate]

I still find that you cant trade without premium tabs stupid

[grizzled grotto]

most of the reason I have so many tabs is cause of my various attempts to manage my standard stash in poe1 before I gave up lol

[amber helm]

okay, so it's pay to play not pay to win, as we said

[dire frigate]

Which is worse imo

[sly crater]

its just a buy in to the game, 30$, how much have you spent on subscriptions AAA games over the years

[amber helm]

mfw a game costs money to play

[barren atlas]

now for actual advice:
got my first div to drop today. using an arc-hmage build like everyone and their mom. Whats the best slot to get a good 1-div piece for first? Amulet? Ring? those seem to increase in stats the most as costs go ujp

[sly crater]

and you can't drop 30$ on a permanent non subscription service?

[dire frigate]

I dont mean NOW, when the game releases for free you DONT get free coins for a premium tab, and are locked out of trading

[grizzled grotto]

that's a fair point, but the premium tab upgrade is lik $1.50

[dire frigate]

Still 2 bucks that you shouldnt have to spend for a feature

[grizzled grotto]

so not a terribly high price

[barren atlas]

I'm leaning towards ring since even if I alter my build or find something better, I still have a 2nd ring slot to useit in

[sly crater]

yup that too you could literally just upgrade the 3 stash tabs for 5

$

[amber helm]

also be careful on the insults when you're messaging a mod lol

[dire frigate]

Wasnt saying you were stupid, i said being unable to trade without the tabs IS stupid

[sly crater]

calling a feature stupid isn't an insult

[amber helm]

nvm lol

[grizzled grotto]

you can trade without the tab

[tropic quarry]

...

[amber helm]

slightly misread

[dire frigate]

In trade chat with like 10 people who never respond

[grizzled grotto]

and the forums

[amber helm]

that is why you never use trade chat

[sly crater]

can't list shit, trade chat is like a whishing well

[amber helm]

look if you dont like it you can leave, it's your choice

but you're not going to change our minds that it's a great system

[barren atlas]

are you saying its unethical for a F2P game to charge for anything other than skins?

[dire frigate]

Yes

[barren atlas]

even content?

[grizzled grotto]

biggest L take I've ever heard

[snow torrent]

Is the quality description on pconc just a troll? Can you quality pconc?

[barren atlas]

Dgaron I gotta ask

what free 2 play games DO you like?

[amber helm]

to deprive yourself of so much potential fun for something so pendantic, yeah, it's a huge L

[dire frigate]

I dont play very many games these days

[barren atlas]

......

so then

[dire frigate]

Dont play this game too often either

[barren atlas]

this whole argument is against free 2 play games as a whole then

[dire frigate]

Nah, just this game

[balmy hinge]

How does evasion even work because seemingly it doesn't evade attacks...
I have 65% evasion and have NEVER evaded an attack??

[amber helm]

if i tell you it's a $10 game does that change anything

you can just play a very, very large free trial

[dire frigate]

That is in fact different

Because you are going into the game WITH that knowledge

[snow torrent]

If you think this game is bad for mtx then just say you hate mtx

[amber helm]

or else what, you get scammed out of 0$

terrifying prospect

[snow torrent]

Don’t ever play ftp if you don’t like this games mtx

[dire frigate]

I dont really play games in general these days

[snow torrent]

Anyway does anyone know if pconc can actually be qualitied or are they trolling me

[barren atlas]

then why are you getting so deep into this in a community discord for a very specific game

POE is one of the smallest offenders

[dire frigate]

Because its basically the only game i have played somewhat of in a long time

[amber helm]

you've been sitting on this complaint all this time?

[dire frigate]

Ive had it a while

[balmy hinge]

Why does the guide say to use life modifier instead of attribute modifiers?
Doesnt this do nothing for the ring?

[grizzled grotto]

what guide are you looking at?

[dire frigate]

doesnt up the life from strength?

Only thing i could guess

[ivory forge]

Maxroll default puts life modifier

[novel crow]

I appear to be making most of my money selling stellar amulets

[barren atlas]

The issue is that you're asking POE to have a monetization model that doesnt really exist.
POE is a F2P game build around singleplayer content.
Most games that rely on skins are multiplayer pvp games that incentifize you to use skins to show off and flaunt on your enemies, or to showcase your stats to other players.
90% of POE players spend almost all their time solo with no other players on the screen.

[dire frigate]

Im just going to go though, im over the game

[grizzled grotto]

90% seems like a stretch

[balmy hinge]

Ah ok, he probably use attribute if I were to guess.

[amber helm]

as in too low

[grizzled grotto]

there are alot of people who play with friends and in guilds

[novel crow]

I spend 99.9% of the time solo, the only time I see other players is when I trade

[balmy hinge]

Pillar HOWA

tempest flurry

[sly crater]

bro chill

[barren atlas]

nah actually he has a point, I forgot that POE2 has brought in WAAAYYY more co-op players

[dire frigate]

?

[barren atlas]

I thin he's right

[dire frigate]

More when the game is free

[amber helm]

"*hey everybody! i'm leaving!" * *slams the door*

[barren atlas]

it.. is free. and if you play co-op you need stash tabs even less cause you can just trade with your partner.

[elder loom]

do logbooks always drop with an area level equivalent to the monster level of the map you're in?

[dire frigate]

It currently, is not free and costs 30 bucks to play?

[amber helm]

"didn't you hear me? i said, i'm leaving! bye!"

[grizzled grotto]

it's not free currently

[barren atlas]

oh yeah mb

wait... wait what point were oyu trying to make with that comment

sorry I thought you were saying it was only getting more people cause it was f2p and then I remembered that it wasnt

[dire frigate]

That some are waiting for the game to be free so more will be on when its f2p?

[sly crater]

that's early access you doofus

[dire frigate]

Exactly, thats why its CURRENTLY not free??

[sly crater]

and you get 30$ worth of points

you're basically just buying a game

[amber helm]

"i said, i'm leaving!"

[sly crater]

stop whining

[dire frigate]

What point are you making? thats exactly what i said?

[amber helm]

if you're going to quit just do it 🙏

and hop off the server

[dire frigate]

Why are you actually toxic? im simply chatting to people

[grizzled grotto]

we can stop stirring the pot now

[sly crater]

my point is if you don't wanna pay at all, play poe1 in a group and trade with each other, or play poe1 ssf

[dire frigate]

You are providing 0 to this conversation by harrasing me

[sly crater]

he's making fun of your foolishness mate

its well deserved

[elder loom]

do logbooks always drop with an area level equivalent to the monster level of the map you're in?

[dire frigate]

I am not being insulting, i am simply debating with you all, and yet you are all being harmful to me when i have done nothing wrong, i am allowed to have an OPINION

[grizzled grotto]

yes, they should

[dire frigate]

I never said your opinions were wrong, simply stating my own

and the MOD is even being rude to me

[elder loom]

excellent, thank you! 🙂

[amber helm]

I'm just pointing out that you seem to be making a show of leaving the game, instead of just, y'know, leaving.

[sly crater]

there

[barren atlas]

@dire frigate the tricky thing is that you say you dont really play games and it shows cause most F2P games are REALLY predatory with monetization (thats how they afford celebrity adversitisements) and Path of Exile is actually one of the most ethical F2P models for a game of its type and is often used as an argument for other games to be better.
But you arent really aware of the current f2p climate and how terrible a lot of corporations have been. So seeing you get so mad at one of the best F2P models in gaming and being so adamant about it seems really odd.

[ivory forge]

Sir this is a wendys

[dire frigate]

I was planning on leaving, and then simply there was more to chat about

[copper plover]

Not an airport - no need to announce departures

[dire frigate]

as people kept replying to me

[barren atlas]

if you leave the server they can no longer reply to you

[grizzled grotto]

this conversation is not constructive and everyone has had ample opportunity to stop responding to it

[barren atlas]

if thats what youre after

[amber helm]

somehow, i dont think so. you're fundamentally opposed to a "f2p" game having elements that involve paying money to do get an ingame advantage. i can understand that and respect that, and i dont think we can change your mind. in that case, it's your decision to leave or stay, there's nothing either of us can do to influence the other.

[barren atlas]

yeah but I'm looking for something to do while wathcing my friend stream and here I am

[amber helm]

ok ill respect that

[ivory forge]

Have any of u used high velocity rounds? I heard it may not be getting the proper bonus from consuming Armour. Any experiences?

[dire frigate]

And yet you are all harrasing me about it and being toxic it seems

[sly crater]

im just replying to you cuz i wanna understand why you think what you think 'It currently, is not free and costs 30 bucks to play?' i was responding to this by pointing out that it's an early access for now

[dire frigate]

But now i will in fact leave as i now feel entirely unwanted and harmed, goodbye

[dire frigate]

I said that it costed 30 bucks because someone said it was free? did you not read the chat?

[sly crater]

that's the internet mate, be chill about it

[barren atlas]

i genuinely think you might just be happer with a different hobby than online games

[dire frigate]

I was responding to this that it was 30 dollars and not currently free

[sly crater]

'is free' and 'will be free on release' is kinda what i assumed

[sly crater]

i second that

[dire frigate]

Thats why i said CURRENTLY which is very much so stated

[sly crater]

https://tenor.com/view/vueltas-dar-gif-22922863

[dire frigate]

Currently free, and IS free, are 2 very different things

Currently free implies it will not be free in the future (and vice verca), while Is free implies it will stay free

[copper plover]

Not sure this is the right channel for this convo - as it has nothing to do with after act gameplay

[tropic quarry]

So, least favorite map?

[grizzled grotto]

this conversation has been spiraling down for the past 30+ minutes. the points have been made. it's done. please stop egging it on.

[sly crater]

alright then, its NOT free, and it shouldn't be, its an early access to the game to help developpers

[barren atlas]

vaal factory

or seepage

[waxen geyser]

Can we have only one? 🤣

[barren atlas]

nah vaal factory

[sly crater]

brah don't start

[dire frigate]

I seriously dont understand what your point is meant to be at this point

You are arguing the exact thing i am

[tropic quarry]

Nah, go for it.

Post a whole list

Channel could use it right now lol

[barren atlas]

i dont wnat favored maps i want unfavored maps

let me stop a certain map from ever spawning again

70% of my boss maps are vaal factory or seepage I wanna cry

[grizzled grotto]

seepage sounds so gross

[tropic quarry]

It is as gross as it sounds.

[barren atlas]

it is in fact gross but maybe not the reasons youd htink

[tropic quarry]

Definitely a top contender for mine.

[copper plover]

Mire is the worst hands down

[barren atlas]

GGG!!!!!!
GIVE ME HANDCRAFTED MAPS!!!!
AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!

[waxen geyser]

I initially hated Augury so much that it broke me and for some reason started liking it. Misery loves company.

[sly crater]

ehh maybe i am then, not too clear on where you stand exactly im alt tabing in and out of discord tbh

[barren atlas]

(or just overhault the generaton algorithm caused DAMN)

[barren atlas]

I love augury aside from the levels taking 5 seconds to pull down

[sly crater]

Augury is peak, one of the few maps where you know where you are and where you're going

[tropic quarry]

Maybe I'm just biased for the theme, big fan of the Witch Doctor in D3 and the whole Loa/Troll vibe from WoW, but I like Mire.

[dire frigate]

This entire argument here, was that someone said, the game is free at this moment, when i stated that it is in fact not as it is in early access and thus costs 30 dollars, which you then said was incorrect for some reason?

[barren atlas]

Aurgury always has 3 levers that open up an area in the middle that always has a rare.
Ilove that.
I just hate the levers

[tropic quarry]

I will admit being a ranged in that map is annoying.

[waxen geyser]

Yeah maybe it's that as soon as I know where a lever is I basically know the layout of the map

[tropic quarry]

Random tight corridors on bridges you have to aim down.

[barren atlas]

@sly crater he's kinda gotta point, the argument between you 2 did start from you misudnerstanding a reply to me

[copper plover]

Thematically i enjoy the area myself - but god damn those tiny ass bridgets

[sly crater]

eh if i did and it happened like that then i missunderstood

[amber helm]

good ending

[tropic quarry]

Okay, I'm with you on that one then lol

[barren atlas]

I want more maps like aurgery that have semi-preset layouts

instead of..... whatever the fuck vaal factory is

there are so many fake-out routes in factory

[dire frigate]

agreed, some maps are way too long and windy

[tropic quarry]

Surprised to hear zero complaints about the surprise box that is every door you walk through of a tower.

[sly crater]

Ye, im literally takin a break because mapping is such horseshit right now

[grizzled grotto]

what do I have to do with these?

[copper plover]

i love towers - every room has big packs you can just blow up

[sly crater]

oh ye that's shameful too

[barren atlas]

me when I open my third delerium in a row that screws me out of rewards beucase it gave me some BS U-shaped map

[dire frigate]

Nothing atm i believe

[amber helm]

1st is vaults of atziri, second is to access pinnacle encounters like breachstone

[sly crater]

isn't that for breach boss and simulacrums?

[dire frigate]

Interesting, never heard of either

[sly crater]

not sure

haven't done one of those yet

[tropic quarry]

The second one will come up later for you, definitely.

Haven't done the first one myself.

[grizzled grotto]

ok

[novel crow]

now let's price a lv20 uncut to see if it's worth upgrading

[sly crater]

anyway

[grizzled grotto]

I wondered if I need to do an adjacent map to access it or smth

[sly crater]

i'll be playing elden ring until a couple of patches have passed on poe2

[novel crow]

3 divs... no

guess I better keep farming for myself

oh wait that's a spirit

[grizzled grotto]

if you dropped it yourself, do the upgrade I say. if you were looking into buying it so you can upgrade, yea that's alot.

[novel crow]

2 divs... not much better

[grizzled grotto]

that's a whole 1 less div, what a steal

[novel crow]

cheaper in ex though

very tempted

for my main damage skill

[barren atlas]

until it gets nerfed in the next patch

[novel crow]

lool

the dmg difference at lv29 is big

[copper plover]

make sure you have enough stats to use a level 20 or can free them up from somewhere beofre you invest

[novel crow]

yeah I'm checking that rn thanks

[grizzled grotto]

didn't see an answer earlier: do citadels poke thru the fog like towers or am I just running blind til I happen upon the right area?

[novel crow]

I'm just lv90 now

need 205 int

I'm 232, so all good

that's half my fortune gone

[copper plover]

blind

[grizzled grotto]

I keep crashing in the middle of every like 5th map since I upgraded ☹️

[quick leaf]

is it worth corrupting a lvl 19 gem that has 4 gem slots? (when i have yet to drop a greater jewelers?

[novel crow]

now my main attack is lv30

this should be noticeable

[grizzled grotto]

personally, I don't wouldn't corrupt for the 4th slot

but I'm sure others have a different opinion on that

[novel crow]

yeah not doing that

If I were rolling in cash I'd do it

[copper plover]

if you hit it - its worth it for sure 🙂

[grizzled grotto]

but then you can never have a 6l

[quick leaf]

yeah i did it with my last one just to try and then i got -1 levels

[novel crow]

shafted

[grizzled grotto]

without getting a lesser + greater on another copy

which you also need to apply quality to again

[novel crow]

I still don't have a perfect anyway

so I have a way to go

late bloomer

[copper plover]

oh thoguht he said it was 4 already - so if he hits that is the 6L

[quick leaf]

oh no mine is currently 4 gem slots after i spend more exalts to get a new lvl 19 back up to that

[balmy hinge]

My stats are like this on monk merc, how can I avoid getting 1shot?
I feel like my evasion is doing nothing.

[quick leaf]

what are your resistances like?

[balmy hinge]

max

I die to physical damage attacks

mostly

[copper plover]

more energy shield and grim feast

[balmy hinge]

I have like 0 chaos res but guide said not to use it on gear.

[copper plover]

huh? what guide is that?

[grizzled grotto]

is it a CI guide?

there's absolutely no reason you shouldn't be getting chaos res if you're not CI

[amber helm]

drop the guide

[novel crow]

lulz that lv30 spell sure is working my mana hard

work it baby

[grizzled grotto]

2 more levels til I can use the staff that I forgot to look at properly before I bought it 4 levels ago

[novel crow]

hah I did that once too

[serene frost]

What can I do? My lightning warp eats alot of mana

[grizzled grotto]

chuck it and get a lower level one or change out gear that's giving you +levels

maybe don't chuck it if you've put jewellers and gemcutters on it

[novel crow]

I picked up mana cost reduction nodes, and the mental toughness anointment, now I'm 41% mana cost reduction

but the other option above is cheaper

[serene frost]

Lose basically dmg

Dont want that

[serene frost]

Can u send me ur tree?

[grizzled grotto]

you're losing damage by not having enough mana sustain for your skill lol

[novel crow]

sure, but it's very custom, I'll dm you

[serene frost]

But dmg is needed lol

To do higher maps

[serene frost]

Ty

[novel crow]

done

[pale swallow]

is there a website that lists all of the working cosmetics from poe 1?
this fit looks pretty cool
ive also seen people use cosmetics for like quarterstaffs that dont show on store

[tropic quarry]

How much damage does your spell do when you have zero mana?

[serene frost]

Exactly zero

Lol

[novel crow]

lifetap

[tropic quarry]

If you have to give up some gem levels in order to be able to actually cast your spells regularly, you take that -level lol

[sly crater]

native appearance maybe?

some unique

[serene frost]

So I have gear with levels on

[sly crater]

widowhail maybe?

[serene frost]

Maybe buy new ones?

[barren atlas]

if im gonna buy my first 1-div+ pricey item for an archmage build, whats the best slot to go for? Amulet? Ring? I feel like its always best to buy stuff like gloves last so you can use them to fill whatever resists youre missing.

(as gloves dont have any special mana modifiers)

[balmy hinge]

I bought Gaze

it helped a lot

[barren atlas]

if you run ED is that the only way to actually have ES?

i dont know how that interaciton works

[pale swallow]

its cosmetic

[lyric jolt]

You could get some ES with ghostwrithe as well

[barren atlas]

I'd assume it assigns 20-30% of your pre-ED mana as ES since all "x as Y" conversions happen at the same time as far as Im aware

however, i feel like I'd lose a ton of DPS from that as I'd lose out on 12% max mana and over 200+ mana from base mana and int from my amulet

[grizzled grotto]

nah, that's the nightfall cosmetic set

from a few leagues ago in poe1, think it was in the mystery box at the time but now it's in the store

[fading kettle]

i can't use two of the same skills?

[grizzled grotto]

you might have to go over to the website or poe1 ingame store to get some of them

[grizzled grotto]

nope

can't use 2 of the same support either

[fossil sonnet]

Can I ask general questions in here?

[pale swallow]

like for example I know this cosmetic or one very similar is available to use in POE2 because I saw a streamer using them when its not in poe2 shop

[fossil sonnet]

Is there any way to change xbox ui to the one I see all the streamers using on pc?

[fading kettle]

really wanted scatter shot on poison shot and posion vine

lol

[lyric jolt]

Centered is the closest

[grizzled grotto]

you might just need to keep an eye out for ones you like and try to ask the player who has them on

[lyric jolt]

In the settings

[fossil sonnet]

Alright thanks

[dire frigate]

ED?

[ivory forge]

Think he meant EB - eldritch battery

[dire frigate]

Ah, figured

[balmy hinge]

I run atziri, gaze and EB on my archmage, gets me to 3k ES, 3K mana

[dire frigate]

Nice, my build I'm doing atm gets to 4.5K ES and 4.5K mana

[balmy hinge]

Yeah idk my skill tree path is cursed

[dire frigate]

Lol

[balmy hinge]

Should change from the block build tbh

[dire frigate]

Think abt 25-30k dps or so on a budget build

On spark

[balmy hinge]

I got 19k

but running shield and a bunch of block talents

[dire frigate]

Ah

[balmy hinge]

so focus + more damage stuff probably would get me pretty high

[dire frigate]

I run it with MOM for 9K effective ES

So pretty tanky with good damage

[dire frigate]

True

[balmy hinge]

It's how I play this game, have some cursed build then it stops working down the line and hop on a guide.

[novel crow]

progress is definitely in fits and starts in this game

you get bogged down for a few levels and switch things around and suddenly get tons stronger

[lilac linden]

For relics, would should I be pairing with "Fountains have 15% chance to grant double Sacred Water"? I was thinking about either movement speed or defense? I'm not sure which is better long term.

[grizzled grotto]

honour resistance or max life/es (whichever you use) or max honor would probly be best. or maybe start with X water if that can roll high.

I think I've only seen start with 34 water at most so far

[lilac linden]

I have honor resist capped atm, paired that with boss damage reduction.

Currently trying to figure out what to best pair with "Fountains have 15% chance to grant double Sacred Water" since that seems very strong. I wasn't sure if additional honor modifiers were needed since I was capped on the resistance.

[grizzled grotto]

% max honour can't hurt

but there was one that starts you with some sacred water, you could see how high that goes

[sly crater]

you can get up to crazy honor numbers with a few relics

[grizzled grotto]

might also be something that gives more merchant choices

[sly crater]

and increased defenses if you're using energy shield increases your honor too don't forget it

[lilac linden]

Yeah, I was looking into that as well, but not all modifiers can go together.

[grizzled grotto]

or see +1 room ahead if you really wanna gamble (it's literally just one random room revealed)

[lilac linden]

That's why I was specifically trying to see what to pair with the fountain one.

Max honor, defense, movement speed. Those seem to be the ones that stand out from what can pair.

Movement speed seems nice in my head just to dodge more mechanics, which saves honor too.

Plus just the quality of life.
