[grizzled grotto]

I alched one and got lightning storms and those strikes almost killed me 4 times trying to clear it even with overcapped lightning res lol

[upbeat geyser]

i'm guessing they dont concern themselves with duo res boots

[tough jewel]

pretty much every stat has to be useful and a good roll

usually 3 res + mana + evasion or es

[upbeat geyser]

ok got it

[tough jewel]

or whatever, I don't know as I've not been lucky with my boots

like idk if what I said is physically possible but you get the idea

[upbeat geyser]

i normally analyze stats on each piece but knowing when to instantly chuck certain pieces without certain stats cuts down on the time i spend looking through every rare in my inventory lol

[tough jewel]

I mean you look until you see a bad mod or roll, which is usually very very fast

[gilded wadi]

Dump tab - throw everything in. If you get spammed with offers, it’s good. Tab gets full, lower the price or vendor it. Maybe not the most efficient way to play, but more fun IMO. Cuts down on time analyzing drops.

[barren atlas]

Boots: "Please! I can change! I'll become a pair of boots you're proud of!"
Me: "Sorry bud, you dropped with +2 thorns, it was never gonna work out"
*disenchants*

[novel crow]

fscking thorns

[rich pagoda]

is there a reason that I'm missing to put a proper map in a tower?

[tough jewel]

no T1 or whatever you have to throw away gets into the tower

[rich pagoda]

Phew thanks ^^

[tough jewel]

maybe xp you could use 15 but no real use. it's too risky to die in there

the chokes with eye of winter (the ice spinning spell) is just brutal at times

[rich pagoda]

You can try again if you die right?

[upbeat geyser]

too bad i have 2 sale stash tabs and only 1 is for 1ex junk lmao

[barren atlas]

pretty sure you can but ive never died in a tower so idk

[rich pagoda]

Thanks. One more. I have trouble getting enough regals to upkeep raring all those maps. that normal?

[grizzled grotto]

the waystones don't need to be rare anymore for completion that I'm aware of

it just makes it harder and adds more pack size, quant, rarity, and waystone chance

[rich pagoda]

Ahhh dang really? So just blast through them on magics and hope you get enough drops

[grizzled grotto]

ye, tho I'm finding I have a bit of trouble keeping up with getting at least the tier of waystone back even at rare

[scenic torrent]

buyng the corrupeted Controlled Metamorphosis
Diamond is a bad idea right?

[grizzled grotto]

why? are you gonna divine the rolls?

[scenic torrent]

iirc it can remove the moddifier that gives it the ring

[grizzled grotto]

then don't buy one with that mod removed

it can also add an implicit

and given it can remove mods, I'm guessing it can add them as well?

[scenic torrent]

It doesnt chge when its corrupted tho it will say the same but just no ring

[grizzled grotto]

it does say on trade when that mod has been removed

so just don't buy one that doesn't have it and watch out when you're doing the trade

[scenic torrent]

What should I upgrade here to see a noticable jump in power?

[grizzled grotto]

share a pic of your character sheet

[grizzled grotto]

your build looks pretty solid

[scenic torrent]

I fell prett strong but wanna do more dmg

Like 1 did t2 Zrsht pretty easy

I only really die to that one horse map boss

I also stillc ant beat the final boss of sek

[grizzled grotto]

you could try to find a stellar ammy with more dex/int and a better weapon with +melee

[scenic torrent]

Im already struggling with manan very hard as is lol

My bos dps would prob skyrocket if i wasnt constaly out of manan

[grizzled grotto]

ye thats a pretty big problem right now

[quartz holly]

oh

why

are there

[grizzled grotto]

I hope they do a patch to reduce mana costs cause they get insane

[quartz holly]

why guillotine

or whatever they are

executioners axe

[scenic torrent]

I have no plus to melee skills either its just bad

[quartz holly]

what the fuck was causing the insta die drops

[scenic torrent]

Im spamming mana flask in boss fights like 24/7

[grizzled grotto]

hows your fire res?

better yet screenshot your character sheet

[quartz holly]

high but like what was causing the one executioner boss insta drop attack

idc that i got insta killed i just didnt realize it was fucking dropping those until i was suddenly dead 😭

[grizzled grotto]

the executioner boss? if it's the same one from A1 then he has an anvil attack

[quartz holly]

it was a rare monster in endgame

[grizzled grotto]

tries to drop an anvil on you but if you're moving around it will always miss

[quartz holly]

but it was liek the anvil attack being dropped on my ass

i just was not prepared for a random rare monsters to have it 😭

[grizzled grotto]

we don't have the exact effects on essence monsters so idk what those specific ones do

[quartz holly]

essence of torment maybe?

[grizzled grotto]

it was an essence monster tho si they can be scary

that's my guess

[quartz holly]

i wasnt really paying attention and was at full health and hadnt played in a while so i was just like. oh.

[grizzled grotto]

you could try getting more mana on your gear. your breach ring and helm are low rolls on mana

[scenic torrent]

last i looked a helm similiear to that or better was close to a div

[grizzled grotto]

or you could try to get Mental Toughness or Siphon on the tree

[grizzled grotto]

something to work towards

[scenic torrent]

I have sihpon anointed

[gilded wadi]

“Essence of torment” gives that ability - can drop an anchor on you

[scenic torrent]

That anvlis cooked me before

[quartz holly]

well. thats one way to find out

[grizzled grotto]

your gear is already pretty good as is. you could also consider changing the anoint to mental toughness for the reduced mana cost, that might be a wee bit more useful. especially since it buffs your mana regen as well

[scenic torrent]

Whats funny is the most I payed for anything was my HOWA for 2 div

everything else was cheap

[grizzled grotto]

yea, there's alot of people listing stuff way lower or higher than things are worth just because they don't know the actual value of things

[deep prism]

where can I get my third ascendancy

[scenic torrent]

sek or ultimatum

[deep prism]

Thanks

[scenic torrent]

level 65 Sek and 75 ult iirc

[deep prism]

Can I do it before lvl 65

[grizzled grotto]

one big thing causing that imo is that they reversed they reversed the mod tier system. the highest tier mods in poe1 were T1, how we have the lowest tier mod as T1. we can't easily know what the max tier of a mod is without looking it up so we don't know how powerful these mods can be.

[grizzled grotto]

it's 60-74 for both

75+ is 4th ascnendancy

[scenic torrent]

ye if u can do it aznd not die lol

[deep prism]

🫡

[scenic torrent]

Thats wack. Also With mt gear and everything I cant even come close to killing the timekeeper guy is that normal?

[grizzled grotto]

I feel like your skill dps should be more than mine with that gear, what's it at currently?

[scenic torrent]

hold on

Monitor is pixel cleaning

goes up to 168k with charged staff up

[grizzled grotto]

damn, more than twice mine lol

but I can freeze things

[scenic torrent]

I can too

[grizzled grotto]

not in a map so I can't bring up charged strike

[tawny relic]

I dont understand how to get high scores in rituals

atlas points aside, what can you do to max score?

[grizzled grotto]

just hope you get more monsters in there

[scenic torrent]

with charged staff

[grizzled grotto]

in poe1 a boss counted for alot, but idk if rituals can spawn in boss arenas in poe2

I'm also only 4L so that's hurting my damage a bit

have you tried vaaling your skills for 6L?

and do you have quality on them?

and what part of your build is freezing things?

[scenic torrent]

all valled for a 5 and Everything is max qaul

[grizzled grotto]

oof, I would have saved up for greater jewellers before I vaaled

[scenic torrent]

not worth imo

30 ex per attemp

took me 40 tries to get HOI 5 link

[grizzled grotto]

6th slot also isn't worth paying 3 div for lol

much bigger gain by paying 30 ex for the chance at 6

[scenic torrent]

Nvm wrong character lmao Im shocking to proc my heralds

Whish I had a cold staff instead of lightning

[grizzled grotto]

cold is fun

[tawny relic]

so I pull monsters inside the circle and slay them there? it seems like it doesnt do much

[grizzled grotto]

I've got polcirkeln so packs go poof

[grizzled grotto]

it only counts the monsters that spawn on the circle

[scenic torrent]

I run doub le herald

[grizzled grotto]

you need more pack size

[scenic torrent]

I just feel like I should be able to kill the time guy

[tawny relic]

I thought I could also pull nearby groups, so its all about tablets with monster pack size etc I guess

[grizzled grotto]

can get some on the atlas tree or just from more map mods

ye

afaik quant and rarity does nothing for ritual

so just get as much pack size as you can

[tawny relic]

I have 2 divs in there that I have to keep deferring ^^

[grizzled grotto]

might be able to afford them eventually lol

[scenic torrent]

I had to defer my 2 audiences ;like 10 times ach

Next time I get one should I fight King of mists or sell it again?

[formal mulch]

I'm trying to carry my friend through the 3rd ascension on trial of sek but when he enters the trial room he instantly dies but I can keep going .. what's going on?

[grizzled grotto]

you get atlas points from killing him

[grizzled grotto]

sounds like a weird bug that you should report on the forum

[rich pagoda]

Can you stop in the middle of a trial? I didn't expect there to be a second part to the 3rd ascendancy. If I close the game now will it reset next time I log in?

[scenic torrent]

Just the boss room?

If so he doesnt have enough Hp

[grizzled grotto]

it checkpoints at the last room you finished

[rich pagoda]

Awesme thanks! Time for work

[scenic torrent]

But the ritual ones suck

id only be doin i for edge

[grizzled grotto]

edge?

[scenic torrent]

edgenuity

the one belt

[grizzled grotto]

ingenuity

wtf lol how did you think it was edge

[scenic torrent]

Idk abd with names

[formal mulch]

Yes I saved progress right before the boss room... I invite him, he enters and says he died. How much hp does he need?

[scenic torrent]

idk depends

prob round 500-800?

maybe even more depending on ur modifiers

[grizzled grotto]

does it hit you when you enter or is this some sort of BOTW master sword sorta thing?

[formal mulch]

Does me getting hit matter? I think I'm at like 90% honor

[grizzled grotto]

or is he comin in in the middle of the fight?

[scenic torrent]

If hes dying as soon as he pens the door he doesnt have enough hp

Thats all there is to hit

[grizzled grotto]

you share honor so you getting hit would only matter for the honor pool

[scenic torrent]

it

[formal mulch]

Ok I understand now, thank you

[round wave]

can someone help me beat act 1

[grizzled grotto]

ty, tho might try a fresh one first just to see how it goes

[scenic torrent]

np They were taking up to much stash sapce anyways

[near lodge]

Just to make sure, as of right now, maps are still one attempt if you die right?

[scenic torrent]

yes

[grizzled grotto]

yep, and there's no plans to change that as of yet

[scenic torrent]

losing the xp and the map seems to much imo

[grizzled grotto]

sounds like they might give more attempts for some bosses, I think it was one specific one but I can't remember

it was in the 0.1.1 anouncement video

[scenic torrent]

arbiter

[grizzled grotto]

ye that one

the mechanics they showed looked intense

one try at that is crazy

[scenic torrent]

RIP Infinite hands Zesht

[scenic torrent]

hes got a bunch of bugged combos

Hell hit a move where youve gota dodge and hell drop another on in the direction you have to doge so its just death

I wanna fight Zesht again 😭

[grizzled grotto]

jesus christ lol

[scenic torrent]

But I cnat get Tabs with qqaunt or good breach maps

[scenic torrent]

Look up clips

[valid eagle]

am I missing something here?

[grizzled grotto]

looks like theres a node in the mountain

[valid eagle]

this one?

[grizzled grotto]

down

the base of the mountain

[valid eagle]

oh wow

there really is one

wth

[grizzled grotto]

they need to fix that lol

[valid eagle]

[grizzled grotto]

[valid eagle]

nah that is crazy though

I thought the line was connected

[grizzled grotto]

there were two lines going to nowhere in your screenshot

[valid eagle]

I don't even smoke and I thought I was on something

aii ty man

[scenic torrent]

When does gemling stat stacking egt good? rn in act 2 this shits painful lmao

[grizzled grotto]

probly not til much later

you can't get much by a2

[scenic torrent]

Should I use a diff setup till I finish campaign and hit 52?

[indigo yarrow]

Attack speed on a weapon is considered as "Local mod" or "global mod" ?.
Is it considered as based attack speed ?

[ivory forge]

Local yea

That's why u see it modified on the weapon description

[indigo yarrow]

so it is better than "attack speed" from other sources
i mean 20% attack speed on weapon is better than 20% attack speed on passive tree ?

[ivory forge]

Correct

[indigo yarrow]

thank you sir

you save me again

[novel crow]

What kind of ES & Mana are non-CI stormweavers running by about lv90? I feel like I'm falling short

I see screenshots of ~5k when I'm running 3k/1.8k

[grizzled grotto]

3k seems pretty good. I'm CI with 1.6k lol

[novel crow]

ah ok

I thought my gear was good for ES on my budget, but like I said I see screenshots of much higher

[grizzled grotto]

5-6k is probly pretty optomised

[novel crow]

oh but you're also a monk

so you've prolly got evasion

[grizzled grotto]

ye, I don't take much for ES nodes, tho I probly should

ye

and the node on my ascendancy that makes total armor and evasion count for phys reduction

[novel crow]

ES is annoying af, having to spec all 3 of max, recharge, and speed

[grizzled grotto]

which helps alot

[novel crow]

yeah phys is my weakness, damn silverfist can still oneshot me (though the upcoming patch is supposed to fix that)

[grizzled grotto]

they're reducing his roll damage. his slam will still be trouble lol

might be a lil more forgiving tho

[novel crow]

oh it's the slam that kills me

I have a sum total of 200 armour lol

[grizzled grotto]

they're also gonna buff armour, so could be a good time to switch over

[novel crow]

yeah they haven't specified exactly how tho

[grizzled grotto]

just started the 4th floor of sekhema, will I need to get a carry now if I think I might need one or can I look for one right before the boss?

[ivory forge]

Ppl can join at boss so i reckon u can ask someone to kill at end if healthy. Or just try and fail then join a carry's instance

[orchid zenith]

you can leave right before boss room and invite someone else

[potent epoch]

hi all ! I'm really trying to get the grasp of POE trade website but am struggling a bit.
Here's my current wand:
and was wondering what a good way of upgrading this would be VIA POE trade website? So far I have it set up to have at least lvl 4 skill for either spell or lightning spell and at least 120 of spell dmg or lightning dmg.

Any pointers?

Edit: have no idea what the weight indicator means left of the min/max value lol Higher weight means more important? or vise versa?

[ivory forge]

Weight is for every 1 of the stat it will tally weight # for overall score

So 1 cast speed = 10 pts

[orchid zenith]

if i have 75%+ penetration no mob should have more than 0% res dosnt matter the mods right since they cant go above 75% cap?

[ivory forge]

Haven't played too much expedition but that's the only place I think they could have more

[orchid zenith]

expedition has +max res for mobs?

i mean it shouldnt matter if a mob has 75% res and a mod with +40% since i'm not reducing but penetrating

[ivory forge]

It did in poe 1 at least

Regardless I wouldn't look to get more pen

I was just answering ur question

[orchid zenith]

my build dosnt use -res so i was wondering how much pen i need

[potent epoch]

so lets say for mana. if put mana for weight of 2, then a 100 mana ALONE will give me a score of 200?

[ivory forge]

Yes

[potent epoch]

got it. so I'm close to optimizing my search then

[grizzled grotto]

so this guy loses the same as my entire honour pool in the first 60 seconds...

[scenic torrent]

how tf i farm similacrums?

[pseudo barn]

Like the splinters?

[scenic torrent]

ye

[little ember]

Can someone explain something to me, i just killed a t15 boss for the first time and it gave me 2 atlas map boss skill points, i used the book and got nothing? no skill points nothing

[pseudo barn]

Do lots of delirium maps as well as infuse your waystones with distilled emotions to make them drop splinters as well even if there isn't a regular delirium.

[warped rock]

hey, could someone help me with endgame goals, I can do T15 maps without bigger issues, sometimes I die from random explosion. What's next goal I could aim for? my gear is super budget 1-3ex all pieces su maybe I could work on that but in all my hours of playing I got only 1 div so don't know how you can get like 10+ for better stuff.

[pseudo barn]

Check the boss section of the atlas passive tree. You got two points there.

[scenic torrent]

Yea but are the rates supposed to bet his low lol Ive been doing that and only have 100 lmao

[little ember]

Where is the boss section i dont see it anywhere

[pseudo barn]

It's one of the outer trees

[reef ledge]

best mana based anointments for amulets? im constantly needing flasks for bosses

[scenic torrent]

is t3 xesht much harder than t2?

Just bougt a breachstone and wanna prepare myself

[scenic torrent]

Mental toughpness probs

[reef ledge]

depend on class?

hes mostly physical damage

[scenic torrent]

Monk

[reef ledge]

if u arent very tanky he could be tough i would advise waiting before attempting him

theyre going to allow people to attempt pinnacle bosses up to 6 times

with 1 invitation item

[scenic torrent]

Just arbiter

[reef ledge]

oh just arb?

[scenic torrent]

Thats the only one mentioned

Jonahthan Only said arbiter in that one interveiw

[jagged hound]

Wait really?

Maybe i should try farming Xesht then lol

[pseudo barn]

Keep doing high tier maps, preferably with mods like item quantity and rarity, search for areas with lots of towers and put tablets into all of them to juice your maps, apply distilled emotions to your waystones to further juice them. Maps with breaches are best. Learn a bit about what sells to trade items so you can buy some upgrades via trading.

[reef ledge]

announcements say pinnacle bosses

so

[jagged hound]

Arbiter, then more pinnacles if it goes well

[reef ledge]

friend of mine lvl 97 said hes 90% phy

[jagged hound]

10% chaos?

[reef ledge]

yeah ima guess rest is chaos

[jagged hound]

My build sucks but one thing i have going for me is phys tank

[scenic torrent]

I posted my stat sheet you think ill be good?

[grizzled grotto]

so clearly 28k dps is not enough for zarokh

[reef ledge]

also u should be fine do u have grim feast

[jagged hound]

Im sorry for your loss

[scenic torrent]

ye

[grizzled grotto]

and his mechanics go nuts in the 3rd phase

[reef ledge]

yeah i mean shouldnt have a problem

[jagged hound]

He has 25 million life, idk how much ES but not much

[reef ledge]

whats ur dps

[scenic torrent]

DUde with my full settup rage and all I only do 200k dps I cant even kill the guy Hes dumby tanky

[reef ledge]

zarokh has ice resist i was told

so if ur doing some monk invoker stuff itll take u a bit to kill him

[jagged hound]

I think i have like 100k under ideal conditions, i died to his basic projectile from like 9k honor just from attrition

[grizzled grotto]

that's really dumb...

[reef ledge]

do u have max honor res?

[grizzled grotto]

ye

[jagged hound]

Doesnt he have res for everything

[scenic torrent]

wish me luck boys gonna give t3 Xesht a go

[reef ledge]

max honor res kind of makes fight trivial for me personally

[grizzled grotto]

93% even, tho I think cap is 75?

[reef ledge]

yeah

[jagged hound]

You can get +Max on relics

[reef ledge]

not sure, i have a friend with spark and he just blows him up

[grizzled grotto]

I was doing ok whittling him down til EVERYTHING was going on

[reef ledge]

but if its me im sitting there for like 3 minutes swinging nonstop

[golden burrow]

for breach farming, are well rolled t14s (at least 1 of quant/rarity/more rare monsters) worth running? or just reforge them all into t15s?

[jagged hound]

I kind of just cant do Zarokh cuz of how much my game lags

[reef ledge]

yeah theyre good id say

[jagged hound]

Ill just lag into time freeze orbs

[novel crow]

wtf I beat the vaal factory boss at 390% extra waystones and got none from him

[reef ledge]

💀

im sorry bro

[jagged hound]

390% of 10% is only 39%

[novel crow]

after doing that annoying map too

[jagged hound]

Actually i guess its extra so 49%

[novel crow]

but bosses should have a high drop rate

[celest forge]

Is there a way to see what mods roll on a specific base on poe2db? I select attuned ward but cant see mods

Mods section shows mods for all bases

[scenic torrent]

T3 XZsht just ahgd a lil more HP crazy this shit aint even hard

But fuck me

Another gd quiver

[reef ledge]

rip man

ill say xesht's drops are shit

[scenic torrent]

Thats my 3rd one lmao

Stg

[reef ledge]

i think ive ran it with a friend (xesht 4) about 50 times and he dropped maybe 2 divs ever

[scenic torrent]

He onlyy drops quiver

[reef ledge]

and hes dropped furtive wraps some of the times but still

[scenic torrent]

Ive opnly gotten quiver

[warped rock]

thank you

[ivory forge]

All items of same type roll same stats I believe

There might be few small exceptions but none I can think of atm

[opal badge]

uh, is my map supposed to truncate like that?

[dusky star]

relog fixes it usually, or just waiting for it to load

[opal badge]

relogging worked, thank god

[scenic torrent]

So Like How can I unfuxk my map?

Like I didnt know what I wa sdoing and have ruint a huge chunk of my map

Not only that zi have like 0 qaunt tabs for towers💀

[dusky star]

you can't "ruin" your atlas, it's infinite

[pseudo barn]

You will have to be way more specific

[novel crow]

I keep almsot killing myself on infinite knights

[opal badge]

all I'm doing now is clearing blank maps while finishing my atlas point quests and hitting as many towers as I can. I'll decide on juicing the nice nodes later

[dusky star]

I know that feel

[opal badge]

i can't reliably maximize any league mechanics anyway, my build sucks

[scenic torrent]

Ive bricked large sections with terrible maps and affixes. Now I know what im doing and wanna stack qaunt for breach maps. Well the this is Right Ive got 0 tabs and Ive also got no clue where to start un fucking it. Shoudl I just go in one direction and clear till im out of the area im in or shoould I try fixing what I have now?

[novel crow]

I've been avoiding league mechanics... wanted to get comfortable with tough t15 maps first

breach kicks my arse

can't stand dying, want a few more levels

[dusky star]

1. recognise if you have a good spot with towers + good layouts (there are map tier lists for breach) currently - if not, find one
2. acquire tablets (either run breach in shitty spots just for tablets, or buy them, or just start with fewer quant tablets, tons of options)
3. juice a good spot
4. farm.

[opal badge]

my main issue is the 2 seconds invul on spawned monsters before i get roadblocked by them. if i could freeze theml....

[novel crow]

yeah putting up a huge frost wall is the only way I can start

[opal badge]

i've been desperately jiggling my skill and support gems trying to build for crowd clear

[novel crow]

maybe I should try an easy breach now

[opal badge]

now i need a weapon upgrade...

[novel crow]

I'm good with crowd clear now, but don't let them get up close...

[scenic torrent]

Am I looking for like 3-4 towers together? On maps like Creek, Savanah etc?

[opal badge]

my solution is eye of winter + fork + cast on freeze more eye of winter + chain + impetus + energy retention

[dusky star]

ideally you want more than 3-4, you'd like to hit the good maps with like 5-6+

but sure, and it's no biggie if you can't, it's still good currency

I've run some 40% quant breaches on good layouts, still felt good

[scenic torrent]

Lets say you hit like 5 15% qaunt towers wi5h good maps what are the breach drops like?

[dusky star]

juicy

obviously, use quant waystones and a proper atlas

[scenic torrent]

Id probable have to buy them lol. Im alsu just not using Magic Find either.

[unique hawk]

First priority is to get your atlas tree unlocked
I would go in a straight line instead of juice at the start to find citadels

[scenic torrent]

My atlas is completely done lol

Other than the like boss ones

I have xesht done through t3

[pseudo barn]

Yes just keep playing until you find a new good cluster of maps and aquire or buy new tablets.

[primal dawn]

This entire conversation is so confusing to follow being someone who's only just got to endgame

[dusky star]

you don't need to buy quant waystones, you drop them and roll them, you get so many waystones

[scenic torrent]

Is Magic find gonna make a huge difference? I can run it but itd hurt my build pretty significantly which is why Ive stopped. And as soon as I stopped I running it I went from dying heaps to no deaths in 3 days.

[dusky star]

you are making it sound a lot harder than it is

100-150% rarity is good, it's not needed

[scenic torrent]

Ive gotten qaunt on a waystone 2 times and ive ran well ove 100

[dusky star]

right-o gl

[scenic torrent]

My rng is so shit

[dusky star]

that's what everyone who is doing something wrong says

[scenic torrent]

Wdym pleae enlighten me then

[dusky star]

rng evens out over time, you are likely not unlucky, you're just using it as an excuse for the things you're doing wrong

[scenic torrent]

How am I supposed to control what rolls on my waystone?

[pseudo barn]

Nobody mentioned control

Just that rng is a factor smaller than you might think it is

Also on this topic right

If i have a 13 waystone with 20 waunt and 50 rarity is it better to run than a 15 with no qaunt?

[pseudo barn]

Run both

You don't have to choose

[scenic torrent]

I mean like for breaches

[dusky star]

quant is good, even on "lower" tier maps - the t15 drops other t15s, the t13 drops more stuff, you should be building up a massive amount of t15s you can mass roll, you can rush boss maps too

[pseudo barn]

Well ideally a t15/16 would be better but if a good t13 is all you got currently then yes

Run it

[scenic torrent]

Im nkt having massive amounts of 14s or 15s. Im probably doing something wrong then

[pseudo barn]

Are you doing boss maps?

They drop the most waystones

[scenic torrent]

Im not finding many

Not enough to sustain

[pseudo barn]

You will be glad to hear the next patch will increase the amount of bosses

So this will take care on its own

[scenic torrent]

I do get alot from the boss maps but I cant sustain the actaul boss maps

I also literally cant do the one horse boss

I die every time

[trail dove]

out of interest, anyone managed to get Neversink working on a Steamdeck?

[scenic torrent]

Can you access its filesystem?

[vivid linden]

Any ways to have the list of possible corrupted implicit on an int helmet? poe2db doesnt seem to have the tab.
https://poe2db.tw/us/Helmets_int#ModifiersCalc

[grizzled grotto]

just these
https://poe2db.tw/us/Corrupted#CorruptedMods
https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Corrupted

is there a quality item for charms or is it just vaaling and hoping for 10%?

[vivid linden]

oh thx, so theres no restriction really on the item type?

[grizzled grotto]

not sure. I would assume so but we don't have anything that says there is a restriction yet.

corruption is hard to test for. I'm not sure how extensively it's been tested yet.

[dusky star]

should be fine with the new online sync filters? now it works for geforce now as well, so unless steamdeck has the same issues as console

[pseudo swan]

is there a way to cap resis without using gear?
unique jewels or something?
my attribute stacker dies if I get breathed on but I have 300k dps and hit the whole screen with an attack
idk how to increase my res without losing attributes from gear
or is that standard for attribute stacking? just paper thin defences?
im running 30% elemental res in gem sockets & triple elemental res on boots and it's nowhere near enough seemingly

[grizzled grotto]

no

[pseudo swan]

so attribute stackers normally just play full glass cannon?

[trail dove]

ohh, do they highlight currency etc? I always worry on the Steamdeck, as the screen is quite small anyway that I'm leaving currency on the floor...

[grizzled grotto]

you can or you can take the reasonable route and get some defenses

[dusky star]

so - have you tried going to https://www.pathofexile.com/item-filter/ladder/follower/type/PoE2, following a few filters, then see if they show up ingame?

[trail dove]

ohhh, didn't even know that was an option, I'll give it a go TY!

[balmy hinge]

Can you turn 185% widowhail to 300% or does it need to be 250% to even go there?

[grizzled grotto]

you can divine it and it might go up

or it could go down

[dusky star]

dear lord do not divine widowhails

[faint tide]

Is there a way to check the stat requirements for a buff at certain levels without having a spirit gem?

[grizzled grotto]

looks like it would need to be at least 246% to be able to hit 300% with a vaal orb, but it's just as likely to drop down to 191%.

and it's even more likely for any of the other 3 possible outcomes, including nothing happening at all

[indigo yarrow]

I have 1000 physical attack and gain 10% of damage as extra lightning damage.
can i shock ?

[stuck crypt]

can u put stuff in empty rune sockets if the gear is corrupted?

[indigo yarrow]

yes

[scenic torrent]

Is witch fun? In your opinion ofc

[grizzled grotto]

possibly. if you hit hard enough.

it depends on the enemies health and ailment threshhold and how much you've scaled your damage

[stuck crypt]

ty

[indigo yarrow]

one more thing. i am using Three Dragons

[grizzled grotto]

oh that unique carried over did it

[indigo yarrow]

does that gain 10% of damage as extra lightning now can freeze ?

[grizzled grotto]

again, it depends on your scaling of the lightning damage, your magnitude or chance to apply freeze, the enemies max life, and their ailment threshhold

but you should be able to build up to freeze them

zarokh might not get frozen or shocked but a random white mob should easily

[sand spire]

anyone has an idea why cant put fragments into the burning monolith door anymore? ive killed the arbiter 2 times before but now the thing where you put it in just disappears as soon as i drag a fragment out of my inventory..

[indigo yarrow]

because i am afraid that "three dragons don't apply to "the gain damage"

[grizzled grotto]

the gain damage?

[indigo yarrow]

for example gain 10% of damage as extra lightning

i call it "gain damage"

[grizzled grotto]

it applies to all your lightning damage

and all your fire and cold damage

[indigo yarrow]

that's good to know

thank you sir

[grizzled grotto]

it doesn't come before conversion, that would be useless

Ok, I am playing gemling stat stack and struggling a bit with T4 breach boss, what are some things I can put on for more ST?
I have good gear.
Like idk, cast on shock?
I can freeze him and do like 80% hp but after that I am out of resources.

[grizzled grotto]

nope

sometime this week

[real yacht]

can someone explain why this item is worth a mirror

[pseudo barn]

Just because someone offers item X for price Y doesn't means that's the actual worth of the item.

[junior hornet]

[pseudo barn]

Everybody can list whatever item for whatever price they want.

[real yacht]

okay thanks

[warm gorge]

I just found the iron citadel. Do I need do enter it directly or will it vanish if I log off or something? Not sure if I can do it atm. Tier 15 Maps are np, but no idea how hard this is

[junior hornet]

it will stay

[warm gorge]

ty. Is it a lot harder than normal maps?

[junior hornet]

not a lot, but mind the waystone mods you put in and be extra careful

[balmy hinge]

What's the point of t16 maps corrupted?
Like a t15 with good mod is better or?

[grizzled grotto]

t16s will have stronger monsters and better loot

[upper warren]

Pricing is entirely a player choice

[grizzled grotto]

cause they're trolling

[crystal wyvern]

why can't you orb of chance a utility belt?

[grizzled grotto]

no chanceable uniques on that base

[pseudo barn]

It won't vanish

how do the Eldrich battery, mind over matter sorc's survive physical hits?

Nope

[past magnet]

Hii, would like to ask what’s the average price for white T15 waystone?

[trail dove]

what is the speculation as to when the new 'Patch League' will be coming then?

[grizzled grotto]

later this week

that's all we know

[warped rock]

@junior hornet hey, I cannot reach you via dm, you carried me and my friend to ascendancy 4 few days ago. And we were wondering since what your build was? You went with ranged or mercanary I believe? maybe a name or a link or just in general what was your main dps skill?

[trail dove]

ohhh OK, I didn't think the 'Reset patch' was going to be that soon

[plain raven]

Does stuff like this affect bosses too? Like increased hp, dmg, action speed etc

[junior hornet]

concoction, you can choose which ever. Ask in #1324861887581651078 for a build

[grizzled grotto]

oh the reset, we don't know

not this week tho

misread, thought you just said the new patch

[fathom reef]

is the max difficulty breach boss worth doing?

like does he drop a dope unique or something?

[grizzled grotto]

yes

bosses are monsters

[past magnet]

Hmmm wanna ask does anyone face any problem with the drop rate of T15 waystone? I feel like they just never drop for me :( anything I can do to improve the drop rate?

[fathom reef]

roll them to get more than 100% waystone drop rate

go for waystones on your atlas tree

use them in boss nodes

[grizzled grotto]

run maps rare, use tablets in your towers to buff your maps, take the atlas nodes for more waystones and more rares

[fathom reef]

save your highest waystone % waystones for boss nodes

and get your boss passives

[past magnet]

Only for boss nodes? What about irradiated?

[fathom reef]

if you have only a few i would prioritize rolling them for very high waystone drop chance and using them in boss nodes

bc the boss has a super high waystone drop rate, i think i read somewhere if you have your waystone at 100% drop rate or higher the boss is guaranteed to give you a t15 back

and that seems to have been working for me empirically, like if I have a waystone with 300% waystone drop chance I'll get 2-3 t15 waystones back

[past magnet]

D: I see

[fathom reef]

so prioritize boss nodes, and ones juiced with irradiate / corruption are even better. also getting your map boss atlas passives helps (esp the 4th point bc then you get 25% increased waystone drop chance from boss)

[past magnet]

thankiuuu! I’ll check again

[fathom reef]

@past magnet i was having trouble sustaining t14+ as well until i read that when you really need to get waystone drops back to sustain asap to juice them up and put them in boss nodes and it fixed all my problems..

i burned low lvl waystones pathing to boss nodes and then put juiced waystones in there and would get guaranteed 2+ back from boss, + lucky drops from random mobs here and there

once i had a decent supply i started using them in other juicy nodes (like ones with breach)

now when I get lower than 12 i prioritize some boss nodes and i'm fine again

[past magnet]

I seeeee. I am running veryyy low on T15 and been wondering why they never drop for me :<

[fathom reef]

also make sure you're not dying (seems obvious but people try to push when they're not ready and then they lose their waystones and get stuck)

like if you're not comfortably clearing the t15 with very low chance of dying maybe work on your survivability first before trying to push into all t15

[past magnet]

some boss is kinda hard for me still =/ i think that's why.

thought irradiated node also boosts the chance of dropping t15 waystone

[fathom reef]

i'm pretty sure it does, but i don't feel it nearly as much as from pumping up the waystone itself and killing a boss

also getting more rares and more waystone quant on your atlas tree will help

you want more hard mobs bc they have higher chance to drop waystones, and you want the more waystones because it's more waystones, lol

twin threats is also very good imo (the atlas passive)

[past magnet]

likee i did T15 on an irradiated node, killed the rare and it dropped me a T5 waystone ._.

pretty confused and feeling unlucky tbh haha

[pseudo barn]

That's normal

[fathom reef]

bosses have mor eguaranteed chance to drop waystones so if you need one bad do the boss.. when you're that low on waystones don't rely on rares, the variance is too high.

the bosses it feels almost guaranteed. i don't think i've ever NOT gotten at least 1 t15 waystone from the boss if my t15 had 100% or more waystone drop chance

and i'm pretty sure at 2-300% increased it's straight up guaranteeing 2 or 3 waystones back

[past magnet]

do you guys still run T14 if low on T15?

[fathom reef]

Ya but not in boss nodes

Im at like 24 t15s rn and it's steadily increasing.. I'll roll them up and save the really high drop rate stones for boss nodes and I'll use like 12 on juicy nodes with no bosses, when I'm down to my last 12 I use them exclusively on boss nodes

Then I go to my dump tabs and gather all my waystone and I'll have more than 24, repeat the process

In the past few days I went from 10-15-24

[past magnet]

thanks for the tips!

[novel flame]

just did Zarokh myself, couldnt do it if i did get the +movement boon
it slows me down while i pick the hourglasses?

[heavy tangle]

It also depends on your atlas skill allocation.

[fathom reef]

And like if I see a node that has nothing on it I just put a really low waystone in to move further along in the atlas to find better nodes to use my t15 on.. for those I just rush through and kill the rares, not even looking for full clear

[heavy tangle]

There's a couple things you could do. High movement speed boots are kinda required, and dont have the curse with -25% movement speed. You could have blink on a off hand

[fathom reef]

Yeah get more rares, more monsters, more waystones on the atlas tree as well which will give you more random waystones from just clearing maps. But if you really need stones focus on boss nodes

[novel flame]

i was nearly timeout twice, rolling helped me a lot (earth defence force habit)

[heavy tangle]

Yeah it can be a bit scary

[sudden heath]

is this bug ? i can't open the portals

[fathom reef]

Is this an alt char? Run your first map in a3 refuge

[sudden heath]

this my first character

[fathom reef]

Have you run a map in the refuge yet?

[novel flame]

map boss gives me at least 2 t15 each times now

[fathom reef]

I'll get 1 if my waystone doesn't have any drop chance on it (from getting screwed from corruption)

But yes I'm averaging 2 per boss now

[sudden heath]

i just checked and no this my first login today

[novel flame]

one time the map boss was duplicated lol

[heavy tangle]

Try to open the map in the refuge then

[fathom reef]

Do 1 in the endgame a3 town (ziggurat refuge)

[heavy tangle]

Yeah that can be a fun thing to happen.

[tall apex]

Question about the final ascendancy. I just completed trial of chaos for the third time and got all the pieces.

If I go in and lose, do I have to get all three tablets again ?

[fathom reef]

Ya I had that once, very worth

[sudden heath]

i don't know this working last night

[novel crow]

I've had that, map was complete after killing the first boss but there was an identical 2nd

[prime scroll]

Can you chance orb QotF?

[heavy tangle]

Unfortunately yes.

[sudden heath]

ah yess working from refuge camp

[heavy tangle]

Id advise to at least look at a youtube vid or somehthing so you have an idea of what the guy is doing.

[tall apex]

Ugh. Thanks

Oh yeah, most definitely I will be

[heavy tangle]

Cool! Finish that map and you should be able to operate it from your hideaout after.

[heavy tangle]

Slow and steady wins the race. Don't panic, keep breathing ❤️

[past magnet]

hmmm, should i get the waystone passive then?

[sudden heath]

yess thanks bro

[past magnet]

for the atlas passive

[novel flame]

how do i know how much status i gained from time lost jewel?

[heavy tangle]

Its probably good to have some points in dropping a tier higher and some quantity especially early on

[chrome swan]

is prime or super better

[fathom reef]

Absolutely yes

Get all the waystone stuff and the rare monsters stuff, also if you can get your first 4 map boss atlas points

[mortal crescent]

They said in stream that in next big patch they will do an economy reset. What will happen to current chars? Move to standard league? Will that league also get balance changes or only new leagues?

[past magnet]

time to pay Doryani to rework my atlas passive T_T

[fathom reef]

Increasing the difficulty of the boss gives you better drops first of all, and then the 2nd mal boss nodes straight up gives you more waystones from boss

[knotty wasp]

balance changes usually only happen to newly dropped/modified items

so existing uniques will stay the same until someone uses a divine orb on them

but only in standard league of course

[mortal crescent]

What about modifications to passive tree?

[knotty wasp]

those will carry over

standard league historically has a very large number of characters that are in an unfunctional state

[mortal crescent]

My concern is that i am a casual player and dont want to start over but want the new content

[knotty wasp]

every league is played on the same patch, just items dont get changed retroactively

new content is always added to the temp leagues (except for act 4-6 and the classes id assume)

new uniques are also available in standard but a potential new league mechanic probably wont

[fathom reef]

When the passive tree changes your char will most likely be broken, but when that happens poe1 Gives you a free full char tree respec

I imagine that'll be the same in poe2

[knotty wasp]

this

[fathom reef]

Oh sorry snackers I replied to the wrong guy

[mortal crescent]

Okay so i guess it will be more or less fine to play in standard league

[fathom reef]

The only thing you'll miss out on is the new content from the new league of you really don't want to restart

[mortal crescent]

If we get huntree and druid for example - they will be only in new league temporary?

[heavy tangle]

Of course you can! A lot of people will play the new league but like you said yourself, some more casual players enjoy just sandboxing in standard.

[knotty wasp]

standard will likey have a pretty dead/broken economy because all the top players will be playing the temp league

but aside of that it should be fine

[dusky star]

you can play standard, in poe1 it's pretty much a graveyard compared to how active the leagues are

and it's just worse overall

[fathom reef]

So the leagues are basically beta tests for content they want to add to standard, sometimes it goes well and they add it to the standard game, sometimes they decide not to add it at all or wait a long time to completely rework it before adding it to standard

[dusky star]

maybe it will be different in poe2, more casuals/etc.

[mortal crescent]

By dead what that means? High prices and lack of items?

[knotty wasp]

there is no confirmation for this but id assume that classes and acts will also be available in standard

[fathom reef]

So if you are standard only you will either have to wait for the league to end to try out the new content, or you may even never see it

[fathom reef]

Yup pretty much that - very high price inflation, and inactive traders

Most people (esp the kind of people in this discord who power game the game pretty hard) do leagues only and use standard as a test bed to theory craft builds for upcoming leagues

[dusky star]

in poe1, leagues are played by like 90-95%+ of people, standard has a very low amount of people (especially within a month of league launch, or more)
it got better because of currency exchange (so you can always get currency/essences/whatever), but it's still pretty bad compared to leagues

but again, maybe poe2 has more people willing to play on standard

[mortal crescent]

I see, kinda hope this changes… if leagues are also 3 months in poe2 i wont be able to constantly start fresh as a working man 🥲

[dusky star]

if it's any consolation, current poe1 league is like half a year old

so maybe poe2 ones post-launch might be more like ~4 months-ish

[novel flame]

also is guild server specific?

[fathom reef]

Honestly you kind of develop a skill for starting over. When I played poe1 a lot I would get to endgame by the end of the weekend (maybe 12 hours of game time), and that is very slow by power gamer standards

You get a sense of how to run through the campaign really fast, how to make money early on, what gear to get to start pushing maps, etc

[spark cove]

does anyone have an idea why i cant access this map. It is on my way to Stone Citadel.

[mortal crescent]

Yeah, but it seems direction is different with pace of this game

[fathom reef]

Nah lol I've already rolled chars from 0 to endgame in under 5 hours in poe2

[novel flame]

in poe1 i can push through keeping rejoin the area, but poe2 is too unforgiving

[dusky star]

also, remember, you don't have to play every league - maybe you skip a league to play a standard char you love, then you jump back in the next league (which helps your standard currency in the long run too)

[fathom reef]

Granted I had Twink gear but still, like I'm already busting through the campaign super fast

[fathom reef]

This, when I played poe1 hard I'd usually do one league on and one league off

[vast hull]

Hey guys where do I put the combat frenzy support gem ?

As a elemental monk

[knotty wasp]

not really tbh. if you have a build that youve played before you can totally complete the campaign in 8-12 hours on a fresh start

[mortal crescent]

I guess after official launch big changes will be less often so will maybe make sense as u said to skip a league or two

[dusky star]

yeah, EA is special

this shit is hectic and chaotic and weird

[fathom reef]

That way when I come back I have double the content to learn, and I can also just use super powerful builds that people had figured out from the previous leavue

[mortal crescent]

I hope i get to kill a pinacle boss before big patch i guess i am on t13 maps right now

[fathom reef]

Yea right now everyone's figuring everything out and everything is also in flux but poe nerds are something else lol... The game will be solved very quickly and then the devs will shake everything up and then the game will be solved again in like a week lol

[past magnet]

what happened to the char in the league after it is over?

[fathom reef]

It gets sent to standard, along with your entire stash

Your league stash tabs will get added to your stash in standard as 'remove only' tabs: you can take items out but you can't put anything in

[novel flame]

one big pro of poe2 is easy to reset the skill tree

[primal dawn]

what's this? Should I wait to be stronger before trying it?

[novel flame]

use coin instead of specific currency

[heavy tangle]

You can go in, it starts a quest.

[fathom reef]

You can go in to move quest state along, it's just a locked door

[primal dawn]

ahhh okay

tyty

[past magnet]

the stash as in all currency also get sent over?

[fathom reef]

You'll need to find 3 citadels in the atlas as keys to open it

[fathom reef]

Yup

[knotty wasp]

everything

[fathom reef]

This is whys standard in poe1 has high inflation lol

[past magnet]

@_@

[novel flame]

have to explore a lot first? still cant find 1

[fathom reef]

I haven't found one yet either

[knotty wasp]

they have a minimum spawn distance from the center

it gets lowered in this weeks patch

[fathom reef]

But I've mostly been running trials to make money, haven't started doing atlas stuff til this week

[knotty wasp]

but for existing atlases its unfortunately already set

[heavy tangle]

Im 169 hours in at level 92,5 and have found 1 so far.

[fathom reef]

Wait really? Rip lol

Good thing I'm having fun just doing juiced breach

[knotty wasp]

yeah theyre updating how the atlas seeding works

but your seed already exists

[fathom reef]

@knotty wasp also do you know if it's worth to run max difficulty breachlord? Does he have a special drop at max difficulty that's worth money

[novel flame]

why some people can fight those bosses multi time already lol

[heavy tangle]

Hands of justice sells

[river field]

dinners ready

[knotty wasp]

not really afaik, max difficulty lowers drop rate for howa and thats the big item

[heavy tangle]

You could buy the items needed as well.

[past magnet]

have a good dinner!

[fathom reef]

and that's max only?

[heavy tangle]

Nah it drops on all difficulties.

But higher level also means higher rarity for other drops

[fathom reef]

Hmm so run full passives when mapping then refund when bossing?

[novel flame]

do i need to run breach and delirium in t15+?

[fathom reef]

It's more efficient i'd say

[knotty wasp]

Hands of Wisdom and Action is the big item from breach boss. it drops everywhere. higher difficulty adds choir of the storm which is pretty much worthless but because it is added to the pool it lowers the droprate for HoWA

[heavy tangle]

You should run what your character can handle. But 15's are prefered for better loot

[upper warren]

Do you mean hand of wisdom and action?

[heavy tangle]

Sorry yeah that one.

[upper warren]

Why is it hand if it's a pair of gloves

[knotty wasp]

it used to be a claw in poe1

[fathom reef]

@novel flame yea what hendruid said, higher is better obviously but you can't get drops of you're dead, and you get less drops of you can't clear fast

[novel flame]

better in term of quantity or types?

[upper warren]

Lazy devs

[fathom reef]

Quality of loot and quantity

[heavy tangle]

Quantity and quality.

[knotty wasp]

not quite sure why its added as gloves in poe2 cause it makes attribute stacking basically BiS for almost any attack build

[fathom reef]

Higher lvl item bases, and more of them

[novel flame]

as i know some item cant drop below t11

[fathom reef]

And higher ilvl items have better affixes

[heavy tangle]

You wont see breach splinters and simulacrum splinters before 11 but higher tiers give more.

[mortal crescent]

Can someone share a screenshot of what endgame atlas should be

[fathom reef]

Yes this, like 35% move speed boots don't drop til the higher map tiers for example

[slow perch]

I heard that golden charms are currently bugged, is that true?

[knotty wasp]

you mean the skill tree? basically just monster density, rare monster chance and precurser tablet drop rate

[heavy tangle]

It depends on where you are with your waystone situation and what you are focussing on.

[knotty wasp]

but it depends on what your build can handle

[mortal crescent]

I am t13 quest

So almost maxxed out

[knotty wasp]

the additional rare monster mod Keystone is a lot of loot but also makes map bosses very difficult

[heavy tangle]

Focus on waystone quality and quantity. Youre gonna need to build your t15 stash

[knotty wasp]

if you dont die waystone quant is a meme

if you do die its mandatory

[upper warren]

I run what snackerz said for regular maps and for citadels I run all the waystone effect + tablet effect

[past magnet]

the painnnnnnnnnn to get T15

[fathom reef]

Also don't hesitate to save higher waystones for better nodes (like boss nodes), nothing wrong with putting a super low waystone in a node with nothing on it just to explore more

[heavy tangle]

This is mine if you want an example

[upper warren]

Pretty close to mine

[fathom reef]

Also don't waste high tier stones in towers, just put a t1 in and rush to clear and get out

[mortal crescent]

What about this in white

[knotty wasp]

not really necessary. makes waystones sometimes drop as rare but not really worth it

[heavy tangle]

Rarity is not needed we can make our maps blue and yellow ourselves

[knotty wasp]

other nodes are bigger payoff

[past magnet]

what bout this one thenn?

[fathom reef]

Yes

That is big win

[heavy tangle]

That one is good if youre low on 15's

[knotty wasp]

high road is also useless once you can run 300% waystone map bosses

you will never run out from that point on

[heavy tangle]

But im good on 15's 😛

[knotty wasp]

map bosses at t15 will drop 1 guaranteed t15 waystone for each 100% increased chance to drop waystones

so once youre there and you can kill map bosses reliably all waysone sustain nodes are kind of a meme

before that (when just reaching endgame) they can be quite useful though

[past magnet]

okieee

[opal badge]

how does it affect map bosses?

[heavy tangle]

Theres is a chance of it hitting the map bosses thus duplicating the boss.

[opal badge]

ohhhhhhh

[knotty wasp]

no

the duplicate 1 rare notable only hits rares

[heavy tangle]

Oh Im wrong then

[knotty wasp]

but the keystone gives rares and unique monsters 1-2 additional mods

so worst case you can get a proximial targeting map boss

[opal badge]

deadly evolution?

[knotty wasp]

bottom right one

dunno the name

[novel flame]

map boss can duplicate

[heavy tangle]

Yeah but not because of that node.

I was mistaken

[knotty wasp]

not because of twin threats

and also not because of deadly evolution

[novel flame]

so why? i thought it is

[knotty wasp]

i have never seen a map boss duplicate

[heavy tangle]

I gave

[knotty wasp]

and ive run both those nodes for quite a while

[heavy tangle]

Have*

[novel flame]

i have seen map boss duplicated too

[knotty wasp]

apparently the combination of both nodes makes the game count the map boss as a rare

[upper warren]

I have also

[knotty wasp]

and then twin threats can hit the boss

[heavy tangle]

Yeah its rare

[knotty wasp]

but this looks to be a bug and will probably get fixed

remember to /bug every time you encounter it

if you wanna spend the time you can add your reference number to the forum thread that (probably) already exists

but even without that it helps

[novel flame]

but i havent picked the 2nd one

[grand coyote]

is there a way to set item filter for each character?

too annoying to change everytime

[knotty wasp]

thats interesting. the bug reports ive found might be mistaken then

[knotty wasp]

unfortunately, no. the filter is tied to your game settings and thus carries over when swapping characters

[upper warren]

nope

[warped rock]

thank you

[timid marsh]

hi, do i keep the tribute count (ritual currency) from previous ritual maps? or it reset to 0 in next map?

[loud fable]

hey guys is there any tips for simulcrum?

Simulacrum*

[past magnet]

iirc it resets

[stiff musk]

why did i get muted in the ingame chat for helping someone with their question

but the guy who called me a profanity that i cant even say here doesnt get muted

guess ggg endorse toxicity or smth

[primal dawn]

average game chat experience, happens in a hell of a lot of games unfortunately

[novel flame]

any drops are exclusive in t18? seems lv20 gem, and lv82 logbook?

[remote rock]

what is the meaning of % number on maps that says it is %60 delirious etc

[knotty wasp]

basically "delirious" means "increased hp and damage" and then the number says by how much

idk what the exact number is in poe2 though

[remote rock]

and what about the rewards

why would I do it?

[knotty wasp]

in poe1 100% delirious is 90%

rewards in this case is 40% inc magic monsters

and you have the fog

so you get the deli monsters and some simu splinters/distilled emotions

[remote rock]

oh so there is no increaed rewards/loot etc, only the bonus on the map

[knotty wasp]

afaik yes

[remote rock]

so this is useless?

there is no reward/bonus, only the 100% delirious

[past magnet]

"increased hp and damage" refers to the player right?

[knotty wasp]

nope it refers to the monsters

[past magnet]

D:

why would i want even crazier mobs

[remote rock]

monsters get harder to kill but doesnt look like the rewards are indicated clearly in poe2

[knotty wasp]

well i havent run those maps personally but the map should have "layers of delirium" which means additional monsters will spawn and they can drop simulacrum splinters/distilled emotions

and if it works like poe1 you have 1 guaranteed delirium boss (kosis/omniphobia)

[remote rock]

okay so we get more monsters

which is a bonus

[knotty wasp]

yes and you drop the delirium loot

[inner spoke]

Have item filters been released on console yet?

[knotty wasp]

afaik they get released with the patch later this week

[amber ore]

guys, I need help determining which one is better for infernalist RS + Skeletal Arsonist build

[knotty wasp]

(probably thursday but theres no defined release date)

[knotty wasp]

havent played the build but id say the rattling scepter because more spirit and +1

[amber ore]

the extra spirit is not amazing because that's not even 1 more arsonits on its own

though with some left over, it can be 1 extra arsonist

but the other one has 66% inc minion damage

[knotty wasp]

i mean honestly just try it out

see what feels better

sometimes qol can be worth more than 1-2% more dmg

[rustic tusk]

im dumb .. i saw in some videos people has MANA and LIFE at the left corner in the same bubble .. HOW can i do that? where are the settings for?

[amber ore]

if it weren't for that +1 minion skills I would definitely go with the one on the right

[knotty wasp]

you got a screenshot for that?

[novel flame]

• level matters much

[shell pelican]

are unique collection tabs ever on sale?

[knotty wasp]

on minion and spell builds yes, on attack builds not so much

[upper warren]

On attack builds it matters a lot

[novel flame]

upgraded my gears from 0 to +8, i grew from noob to a senior noob

[knotty wasp]

afaik they go on sale with the other tabs (every other weekend)

[amber ore]

hmm, well I see I already have 292% inc minion damage, so the 66% isn't that much more

[pseudo barn]

It's an option in the settings

[amber ore]

if it was 66% MORE damage, well, that would have been op

[novel flame]

i m frost mage infernalist main

[knotty wasp]

depends on the skill. ice shot gets 2-4% attack dmg scaling which translates to 1-3% more dmg

[knotty wasp]

often youd prefer something else

[rustic tusk]

yea but WHERE i literally dont find anything

[knotty wasp]

thats gamepad/console layout

no way to get that on keyboard/mouse

[amber ore]

hey how did you combine those?

[pseudo barn]

Read the messages above lol

[coarse flower]

Is faster start of shield recharge better, or is shield recharge rate better?

[rustic tusk]

here is NO Gamepad or stuff

[amber ore]

btw you replied it to wrong person 🙂

[knotty wasp]

there should be input mode: gamepad. but it might only be available in the login screen

[pseudo barn]

I didn't but ok

[upper warren]

It gets like 5% more damage per gem level

[amber ore]

it ws someone else asking about the UI thing

[upper warren]

When you can get +4 from a bow, it's pretty significant

[rustic tusk]

good to know

[pseudo barn]

You literally asked how to combine those when it was just explained... good luck.

[knotty wasp]

a +4 bow is 20% dmg. compared to a 20% crit dmg or 14% attack speed suffix on a bow its not worth it

but if you have everything else its good yes

[amber ore]

yes yes, I mean it wasn't me initially asking. you replied with the setting screenshot to my minion build question. But now I'm also curious. And I don't have any option that would combine the life and mana bars

[knotty wasp]

its the least important mod on your bow is all im saying

[pseudo barn]

I literally didn't reply to your minion post...

[pseudo barn]

^

[upper warren]

Not everything is scaling crit multi or attack speed

[pseudo barn]

Some people I swear

[upper warren]

And there's 3 suffix slots

[knotty wasp]

and not everyone has the currency to get 6 mod items

[amber ore]

aah sorry, it wasn't you, it was someone else, my bad

[knotty wasp]

prefixes are most important, then suffixes

(with 6 mod items i mean items that dont have a "dead" mod on them)

[coarse flower]

is it worth tripling my ehp if it halves my tooltip dps

[knotty wasp]

do you die a lot? then yes

otherwise it might cause you to die more cause you cant kill stuff anymore

[coarse flower]

not really, but I also don't not die a lot

[upper warren]

I mean cool and all but the point was that levels aren't good for attacks which isn't true

[knotty wasp]

if you can afford it id say try it out and see how it feels

[knotty wasp]

well okay thats true

didnt mean theyre worthless

[coarse flower]

I didn't die a lot but I literally had 5k life and no es no armor no evasion nothing, just raw dogging that max life

[knotty wasp]

just meant theyre not the most important thing

[coarse flower]

I switched to a grim feast mom build but that halves my tooltip dps

but now I have 4.5k es, 3k mana and 3.5k life

and grim feast overshield

[knotty wasp]

those numbers dont really mean a lot without knowing what build you play and what content you run

[coarse flower]

pillarhowa gemling

[knotty wasp]

but in general i like defenses

[mighty fern]

this is not intended right? xD

[coarse flower]

and I was running sekhema which was fine with no defences

[knotty wasp]

pillarhowa gemling still oneshots +4 pinnacles with half dps no?

[coarse flower]

but sekhema is kinda getting unprofitable

[pseudo barn]

Nope

[coarse flower]

so ive been running +4 simu

and ngl those delirious mobs got hands

[knotty wasp]

especially in simu id rate defenses pretty highly

simu farmers in poe1 have some of the most immortal builds that game has

[coarse flower]

I also went to +4 audience to help my friend with my 'glass cannon' 5k life build and it destroyed the boss

[knotty wasp]

(against small/medium hits anyway)

[coarse flower]

but it says i have like double the tooltip dps

[knotty wasp]

what is your tooltip dps?

[coarse flower]

let me find a screenshot

[potent pilot]

hello, someone with patience can help me? I'm new on this game, currently i'm at level 68 with a galvanic shard mercenary witch hunter build, but I do no damage with my skill. The board says 325 dps on galvanic shard, but idk how this is possible, I cant even kill a trash mob on waystone lvl 1 with that. Gemns on galvanic are fork, conduction, mobility and martial tempo. I'm following some guides, I bought a better weapon, but nothing change. Idk if the problem is on the passives, gear, or something else. Thanks in advance

[knotty wasp]

if its 1m+ you should have no problems sacrificing half of it

[heavy tangle]

I have no knowledge about the build but if you want I can voicecall and screenshare and we can figure out why things arent working?

[coarse flower]

this is what I had before I respecced from str to int

this is what i have rn, prob can get a bit more cause I still have to buy 2 more jewels

[upper warren]

You'll be fine with more survivability

[potent pilot]

thanks for the help, I cant join a voice call right now, but if you want I cand send some screenshots

[coarse flower]

a lot of the damage loss came from having to switch my amulet to this

[knotty wasp]

youll be fine

[tight panther]

PM

[knotty wasp]

if youre fine to only use grim feast and not MoM you can keep your old ammy imo

but your dmg with everlasting gaze should still be good enough for all content

at that point its just a skill issue

[heavy tangle]

Its a bit tedious going through a entire build with screenshots only, if you want/can I can make some time later if youd be able to vc then?

[pseudo barn]

Share a screenshot of your weapon here pls

[coarse flower]

No, I have like no es without that amulet

So mom would work but grim feast wouldnt

[knotty wasp]

ah right you dont really get base ES from anywhere

well either way, you should be fine

just try it and see what feels better

[coarse flower]

My idea is to have a bunch of es, and then mom with maelstrom flask if i run out of es, then a bit of life just in case

[tall lantern]

has anyone made a filterblade filter similar to CDR's filter that doesn't hide uniques I could yoink? I'm apparently too dumb to make rule changes work on filterblade uber strict filter

[pseudo barn]

@potent pilot also if you need more dmg then drop mobility for now and replace it with a support gem that further increases galvanic shards dmg. Instead of holding the fire button you can just press it repeatedly which will let you shoot at the same speed but not suffer from any movement speed penalty.

A screenshot of your weapon still would be very helpful tho.

[potent pilot]

those are my stats atm

[pseudo barn]

I asked for a screenshot of your weapon not from your gems.

I'm blind nvm

That's a really bad weapon for your lvl

[knotty wasp]

do you use the filter from filterblade.xyz? if so just check that "hideable" box

[chrome pollen]

should i sell my audience with the king? i already have all points into the atlas

[knotty wasp]

then it will show all uniques

[potent pilot]

so the problem is the weapon?

[pseudo barn]

It's part of the problem for sure

[potent pilot]

ok, maybe skill tree too at this point

[pseudo barn]

In addition to changing mobility for something else like mentioned above there is one more thing you can do to immediately increase your dmg. Add two physical dmg runes to your Xbow and increase its quality.

[tall lantern]

thanks i'll look into it, its also hiding so many valuable bases and rares, tride unchecking certain archetypes and setting to hide under certain levels but couldn't get it to work

I struggle with these sorta things, info overload for me

[knotty wasp]

thats because its uber strict

its for people who want to blast breach and only click on chaos/exalted orbs

[fickle cairn]

i'm playing DD bloodwitch, why are my minions going back and forth continuously? Is it normal?

[knotty wasp]

i dont think it shows anything that sells for less than 15 ex or something like that

if you want to see more consider going down a strictness and hide items you dont want to see

theres a search box to the right of the customize window where you can search for the rules that affect the item you want to see/hide

[river violet]

At the very least out some sockets and runes in it if you can't find a better weapon

20% Phys runes

And quality it up

[opal badge]

i've reached a plateau for my ice sorc build - i can't clear mobs fast enough and I'm thinking of spending my only divine to upgrade my weapon. ><

[river violet]

And for the love of god get rid of at least 4 stacks of those wisdom scrolls XD

[river violet]

That's what currency is for, isn't it?

Tho what spells are you using and with what supports? And can you ss your weapon?

[opal badge]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/kddk008a
build

had some help w/ the passive tree last night

using everlasting gaze atm

[river violet]

No, I want to know exactly which supports you're using

[opal badge]

proud of the wand, got a good base and got lucky

the build has support gems

[river violet]

Because I'm guessing you don't have 5 socket gems

[opal badge]

yeah ok

ignore the 5th socket gems

that's theoretical

right now i'm using EoW as my main 'left click' attack, but Frostwall/bomb/comet gets a lot of use. the problem are horde mechanics like Breach/Delirium

i can't crowd clear fast enough

[river violet]

Gotcha. Ty. Unleash on comet is weird to me. The first one gets the benefit of consuming the freeze while the repeats don't. It still helps, but it's odd to me

[opal badge]

it doesn't work on EI, which is my main spam nuke

[potent pilot]

ty, i'll try to use some rune too

[potent pilot]

ok ty for the advice

[fickle cairn]

i'm playing DD bloodwitch, why are my minions going back and forth continuously? Is it normal? Help please im going mad

[opal badge]

i heard minion ai pathfinding sucks xD

[opal badge]

The way unleash works is a bit funny. It doesn’t reset when you consume the seals and cast again so it actually charges between casts. I get 3-1-2-1-2-etc this way

[river violet]

So does this mean you're not using arcane tempo on any gem?

[opal badge]

I intend to put it on Eye of Winter

But not sure what to give up

Without a 5th support slot

[wanton dawn]

uniques selling for 1 k gold is a bit embarassing

[river violet]

Right, but comet is linked to a support that consumes freezes for extra damage and it cannot freeze. So the repeats don't benefit from that consuming freeze support at all.

As for eye of Winter, I'd replace for with deceleration and, if you can afford the cost, replace inspiration with arcane tempo. Should help your clear a lot

[opal badge]

Yeah I don’t know what else to put besides unleash

[opal badge]

Chance shardsssssss

[river violet]

If it doesn't feel good you can swap back, but imo deceleration is practically mandatory for eye of Winter

[wanton dawn]

fuck chance sahrds

that shits a scam

[opal badge]

I got my Everlasting Gaze just chancing every amulet i found until voila

[opal badge]

Hmmmm i’ll give it a shot

[wanton dawn]

i couldve had 200k gold for gamba

if i kept selling uniques

instead i used 200 orbs to get 2 shitty uniqes

[opal badge]

200k is literally 2 rares from gamba kek

[wanton dawn]

pffffffffffffffff

[river violet]

Also what's the point of frostbolt? Just to cover the screen with chilled ground?

[opal badge]

Thanks for the insight!

[opal badge]

Yep. Cast on encounter then hit eye

Then let frost nexus take over

Eye does so much more damage with chilled ground it’s hilarious

[candid spade]

how to check how many passives points I have without refunding all?

[river violet]

You have points equal to your level plus your total weapon set points in the upper right corner, minus 1

[candid spade]

so lvl 92+24

[river violet]

Minus 1, yeah

[candid spade]

so 115 thx

[river violet]

117

[candid spade]

oops

[river violet]

Wait am I dumb

[opal badge]

115

[river violet]

No you right

115
