@opal badge would you be able to give me a thumbs up or down on the price of a peice of gear im thinking of buying? I havent bought good gear before so im not sure whats good price for the build

[opal badge]

i can try...

[fathom oak]

Would you spend 10ex on these boots?

[opal badge]

no

3 dead stats

[split hamlet]

can anyone help me ascendency 5-6

[opal badge]

#2┃looking-for-group

[split hamlet]

ty

[fathom veldt]

how much es should i have before even considering using CI

[fathom oak]

so for 10ex im looking for something with almost all relevant stats?

[opal badge]

@fathom oak more like this, replace rarity with more es or res

MS, ES, Mana, Res

1 dead stat is ok if absolutely necessary

[opal badge]

got MoM?

[fathom veldt]

no, am monke

[opal badge]

i had 4k es 2k mana mom with CI

6k ehp

[opal badge]

6k ehp

[fathom veldt]

cant reach that keystone as a monk unfortunately without absolutely obliterating my skill tree

[opal badge]

just get 6k+ effective hp

ES+HP

[fathom veldt]

o ok

[pastel portal]

Is this safe to take? Death toll, that is?

[fathom veldt]

depends on ur current honor

[pastel portal]

Oh, it directly damages honor?

[wispy carbon]

also depends opn how many rooms u got left

honour resistance also mitigates that damage too

[pastel portal]

Fair

[fathom oak]

Wait you spent 10ex on 25% ms boots?

[opal badge]

these are expensive for the high Max Mana and high double res

[fathom oak]

isnt that against server rules?

[opal badge]

gtfo the help channel

[fathom oak]

To sell carries

[opal badge]

max mana is for arcane intensity and adds to mana regen

High res because the focus is better off rolling DPS stats

But budget builds can go for res on the focus first

You can try lower max mana, 2 res, int rolls on the boots

[vague temple]

https://tenor.com/view/heyzzy-mods-cry-to-mods-annoying-bitch-stfu-gif-25951942

[fathom oak]

So this would be a good thing to search for if I want something kinda cheap but still effective?

Because the ES stat on boots seems fairly minimal if it 1:1s to mana

[opal badge]

those might be expensive rolls but go for it

25 ms is fine too

[fathom oak]

The mana roll isnt super high

[zenith sigil]

<@&174997701513969665>

[fathom oak]

Its basically the highest 2 tiers possible really

[fathom veldt]

tempest flury or ice strike? im using potcg so i dont have any physical damage to convert from anyways, everything comes from other implicits

[azure creek]

uhh. how tf am i supposed to survive this. the inside safe is a one shot. his beam is a one-shot. and nowhere in the circle is safe from that beam

legit cant kill him cause of this stupid attack lol

[cerulean jasper]

Not the server for services

[fathom oak]

Is stun threshold a dead roll on a build that doesnt build hp?

[zenith sigil]

do you think he also does robe trimming?

[warped rock]

can adding vaal orb alter any stat of the weapon? for example could I take basic widowhail bow and and vaal orb and expect it to increase bonuses to quivers to high end? or it's a fools dream and I should just farm divs

[opal badge]

not really, it helps but there are better stats

still if i go budget, stun threshold is better than max life as a CI build

[opal badge]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Corrupted

or look for it on the trade site w/ corrupted

[azure creek]

any help here? i have no clue how to dodge this attack. even if I get hit him to 0 i still see it x.x

[opal badge]

@fathom oak

[zenith sigil]

thats been a problem in that fight since release and hasnt been addressed in any way by ggg so far, so no clue what they are thinking

[opal badge]

get fire res

[fathom oak]

how did i not find that in my search

[azure creek]

lmao im capped on that. the beam is a one shot.

[opal badge]

25 ms boots

[opal badge]

beam? hug him, roll thru him

[fathom oak]

Oh lol

[azure creek]

after looking at it frame by frame, i see that the inside-safe telegraph goes off right when the beam ends. only way to survive it.

so u gotta jump into the circle right when the beam ends zzzz

from first glance it looks like its just two overlaps

uh no

the beam is a consistent attack, so even if you roll, the iframe doesn't last a ton of seconds

[opal badge]

roll thru him. he can''t 180

blackjaw is worse

[azure creek]

i figured it out going through it frame by frame. what your suggesting is just silly.

but thanks anyways

[opal badge]

your call. i beat him first try on fireball sorc

[azure creek]

yeah so did i on monk

[opal badge]

@fathom oak

this is more your speed

[azure creek]

i've killed him plenty of times

but never seen that attack before

[turbid storm]

can i use 2 timelost jewel ?

[fathom oak]

Turns out I was looking for too high of a base

[turbid storm]

or is the limit only 1?

[opal badge]

yeah for budget of 5-15 ex go to level 65

[prisma spindle]

The beam dies look directional and you might be able to roll the aoe explosion after

[opal badge]

no idea, someone else might help

[azure creek]

yeah i figured that out eventually lol

[fathom oak]

I could find some alright stuff for 20ex but idk if thats too expensive

But i am gonna use it until I get to t15/16

[opal badge]

yeah

take the 10ex options

actually lemme finish the augury

i may have donations

[zenith sigil]

i would advise against giving stuff to new players

its bad in the long run, cos then ppl dont figure out how to solve things with limited resources

[opal badge]

lol true

they can buy my stuff

[zenith sigil]

and solving stuff with limited resources is the core of this game

[junior hornet]

only if it's Elon

[zenith sigil]

thats a whole different issue

he solves stuff with unlimited irl resources

[fathom oak]

Id rather buy if its actually worth something unless its worth more than I own

[opal badge]

lemme check

[dull flint]

why do people doing minion builds or spell builds even run Shields or Focus instead of Dual Wand if Wands can get e.g. +4 Minion level?

[opal badge]

oh my old boots are 30-40ex xD

[opal badge]

can't dual wand

scepter?

[cerulean jasper]

you can wand + scepter for easy spirit pool

[dull flint]

So dual scepter also doesnt work?

[opal badge]

never tried but maybe?

[opal badge]

sorry my boots are gone xD

[fathom oak]

If youre doing a minion build idk why youd go wand + sceptre if you could. Youre dropping a lot of defenses

[opal badge]

i got a helmet and gloves in your price range tho, except res balance

[dull flint]

@opal badge @fathom oak @cerulean jasper tyvm, i thought you can go dual scepter and push +8 on minions but i just tried and it indeed doesnt work

splitting scepter / wand isnt that great generally ye

[median knot]

how can I know my map has red light? i have to search all map over and over? all over the place, takes hours

[opal badge]

red light?

[pseudo barn]

Do you mean the red light in the fog of war that indicates a citadel?

[median knot]

y

[cerulean jasper]

well you know the map is a citadel basd on the light

[pseudo barn]

Then you will know by seeing the huge ass red light

[cerulean jasper]

Citadels get more common the further away you are from the start

but are by no means common even then

[novel flame]

how can we improve the quality of skill from ascend?

[median knot]

i cant see the light bcs my map is so fucking huge

i cant zoom

[cerulean jasper]

you dont

[median knot]

out

[cerulean jasper]

just wander around aimlessly in the atlas

you'll eventually come across them

[plain raven]

hmmm then why does it say "additional effects from quality 0-20% life"

[median knot]

my quest is whats the easier way to see the huge red light without scroll all map

it takes like 5 minutes

[fickle thunder]

guys

how do u unlock the atlas

[cerulean jasper]

probs implemented on later date

[fickle thunder]

like the end game

[cerulean jasper]

finish campaign

[fickle thunder]

just finished act 3 cruel doryani

yeah I did

and then what

there's no quest

[cerulean jasper]

You should have some dialogue in town

[pseudo barn]

There is no easier way

[cerulean jasper]

or was it in the boss arena, cant remember

[opal badge]

talk to doryani in the past

[fathom oak]

For boots do I want iron rune or res rune?

[fickle thunder]

wtf

it brings me back to fking cruel again

wth

[opal badge]

before CI, go for chaos soul core or res.

[plain raven]

just put in whatever you need right now, you can change it later now

[random forge]

I can see one citadel in my atlas, but it seems to be cut off by water/missing links between nodes. Should i keep trying to go around and see if i can find a way or is it not important to do every citadel?

[plain raven]

well atlas is supposedly infinite, If its more than 5 nodes away I wouldnt bother but up to you if circleing around is worth your time

[fickle thunder]

I am in a loop now

lmao

[opal badge]

@fickle thunder dora the explorer is here normally

[fickle thunder]

everytime I go to the gateway it loops me back to the riverside in act 1 cruel

[random forge]

At this point i've probably spent 20 maps trying to find a way only to be cut off again 😅 I'll just go in other directions looking for citadels then

[fickle thunder]

ok lemme try to go to cruel

okeh found it thanks

[calm grotto]

Now they show it in the fog righg

So just go 1 direction

[uneven heath]

is an Ingenuity belt with 38 or 48 worth buying for 6divs?

[calm grotto]

I got my 54 for 7

38 100% no

Unless its clean

[peak wren]

I just noticed a detail, the maps (like 2d maps) for normal and cruel acts are different, does that mean that the campaign map itself is randomly generated or did they just make them different by design ? If the 2d map is randomly generated that's kind of impressive

[random forge]

Yeah i see it in the fog, but don't have a path in that direction

[calm grotto]

Same

I path there amd bam a mountain

[median escarp]

below 50% is not worth it at all

[fathom oak]

I can pick up CI whenever, Im just not sure when i should. Probs when I have a huge mana pool?

[calm grotto]

When u got mom or large es

[median knot]

whats the max tier of waystones?

[calm grotto]

T16

[fathom oak]

I have MoM already but I only have 2.8k mana tho

Ill have more after i finish buying gear

[opal badge]

i answered this question. 5-6k ehp mana/es/hp

[solemn canyon]

are you talking about individual areas or like, the map that comes up when you press U

[fathom oak]

Oh sorry lol

[solemn canyon]

areas are largely procedurally generated

[exotic gazelle]

ah yes, this very accessible checkpoint

[fathom oak]

Are you on to sell me some 10ex peices?

[opal badge]

oh yeah sure, dm me

[glossy galleon]

is it worth doing t18s if they spawn onto my atlas? Its very expensive to get delirious t16 maps

and doing them without delirium just doesnt feel good

[balmy hinge]

Should I slap in an absolutely juiced T14 or a decent T16 in this?

I am leaning on the latter since rarity is alr so high

[opal badge]

JUICE

oh wait

t14

t16, higher level still better

juiced t16 tho

[peak terrace]

what should i do or where should i go farm if i have low level items and when i enter something a bit harder then basic T1 waystone im getting obliterated
should i go on some highest lvl act map and try to farm best loot with items that have highest rarity items or should i just go on map and just spam lowest easiest waystones cuz thats the best i can do now :C

[proven gate]

how can I preview in the tree the changes from adorned to my jewel?

[dull flint]

if I wanna run a second build on my character with the same gear, I still / only need to buy new weapons right?

[opal badge]

I suggest magic modifier T1 waystones, 2 mods. Do regular grinding, don’t do the maps with delirium/ritual/breach if you can help it

[uneven heath]

is this worth 4divs? second picture is my current one, im trying to build the fubgun deadeye build

[opal badge]

Yeah should be

[solemn canyon]

depends on the build lol

[opal badge]

I don’t think you can?

[solemn canyon]

weird question with no info

[peak terrace]

but all T1 waystone with modifiers that i have have some +30 elemental pen to monsters or just monsters do more dmg and then i get oneshoted from basic mobs :C

[dull flint]

i meant whats the minimum of gear I need to change to run a second weapon set, because I dont think you can use the same weapons

if I could id run all the same gear

[opal badge]

T1s are unlimited from doryani so try to get rarity or quantity

[solemn canyon]

a second weapon set is not a second build

and yes, just hand slots

[opal badge]

If not regular whites until you’re stronger

[peak terrace]

okay thank you

[opal badge]

What level are you

[fathom oak]

Is this going to be good enough to get me to t15 maps? The tiers are a bit low but overal good stats

[opal badge]

how much

[fathom oak]

I rolled this on my own

[opal badge]

544 ES is obscene

AND spirit

although 39... xD

[fathom oak]

39 is a bit xdd but it means my amulet doesnt need that much for me to reach my desired spirit

[opal badge]

i paid like 50 ex for a body w/ that ES

[fathom oak]

Tbf thats quality 20

[opal badge]

same.

and i'm in mid-late endgame

[fathom oak]

holy bingle

[opal badge]

yeah you can sell that for a good sum when you upgrade

[drowsy trail]

Hey I have a question regarding the trade website and quality %

When the item was upgraded and has +50%, does the trade website show base values or values including the +50%?

[opal badge]

congrats on the lucky rolls

[drowsy trail]

Here’s an example

[opal badge]

yes

oh mobile

[drowsy trail]

Yes base value or yes modified value?

[cobalt zealot]

hey guys, what tier map to use on moment of zen to maximize astramentis chance?

[opal badge]

it shows modified

[opal badge]

nobody knows if it even works

[upper warren]

We don't price check

[rancid void]

ah sorry

im gonna delete

mb

[cobalt zealot]

theres a bug with moment of zen? or we simply dont know yet what affects it

[opal badge]

use poe2 sidekick - easy and lightweight price checker overlay

[opal badge]

the latter

[cobalt zealot]

alright thanks, gonna just mid it at t7-8 then 😄

[opal badge]

feel free to use a t15

[drowsy trail]

Ty

[drowsy trail]

What is that? Does that work on ps?

[upper warren]

it doesn't

[drowsy trail]

💀

[opal badge]

nope

pc overlay

i use sidekick since it's lightweight and open source

bugged. RIP

[fathom oak]

What slots can get spirit? I just figured out I cant get the spirit I need unless I get solar amulet instead of lapis

[opal badge]

amulet and body

[glossy galleon]

yea lmao wtf is this

[tulip fjord]

Maybe underground, that was often for me

[glossy galleon]

dont think creek has an underground

[main oasis]

precursor tablets don't affect towers right?

aka can towers be irradiated?

[rustic tusk]

Is it just me or why there is a struggle to keep playing? ... I mean after 2 months now things like astramentis still keep getting more expensive what don't makes any sense ..

[plain raven]

its just inflation

[rustic tusk]

Usual map ?!

[opal badge]

no

[solar atlas]

hi guys does it matter what lvl of waypoint i put in these merchants?

[trail dove]

Stupid Question, is PoB2 Android Compatible?

[opal badge]

no one knows for real

[solar atlas]

ok thank you

[opal badge]

maybe ask in #1308715058716610580

[lone tinsel]

ok sorry

[tropic quarry]

My best answer for you is "I'm not sure it is, but it certainly shouldn't be."

[unique hawk]

shouldn't?

[tropic quarry]

It's a heavy program, very wide interface with lots of small UX, and maintained by an open source community when* adding it would add complexity for a very niche use 😅

[unique hawk]

What do you mean niche?!!??!
People don't want to open PoB all the time?!??!?

[tropic quarry]

I do have it open all the time... on my computer

[uneven heath]

when i use widowhail, my dmg is getting lower in the skills tab does it just not show the 250% or?

[tropic quarry]

Widowhail is very low base damage compared to most bows.

[junior hornet]

you might be losing base damage from your rare bow

[tropic quarry]

Usually you need a pretty good quiver to offset it.

[uneven heath]

im using this one

[tropic quarry]

Still have to compare it to the bow it's replacing though.

[candid spade]

what would you say is the best endgame farm for currency? I tried trialmaster and xesht and it seems selling the keys is more profitable than killing them

[final quarry]

You usually want a ton of flat damage on the quiver, no?

[unique hawk]

So bossing is working as well as in Poe 1

[tropic quarry]

Don't play much ranger, but it would make sense (would offset the damage loss from going high level bow -> widowhail)

[candid spade]

I think the worst offender is the ritual boss, the key costs almost 10 divines

because it's so fuckin rare

[opal badge]

his belt is worth so much

that quiver is ass tbh

[candid spade]

yeah but I just want the atlas points you know

but it's impossible because the key is 10div

[junior hornet]

yep that's a huge loss

[candid spade]

and you only have one single try

[final quarry]

Tbh I hate the fact that you need to do the bosses to upgrade the map mechanic

[unique hawk]

And the other farming option is breach which is only ice ring farm

[tropic quarry]

That picture alone should answer the question. You went from 124-316 damage and additional arrow to 7-11 😅

You need a lot from your quiver to offset it.

[candid spade]

yeah even arbiter... they keys are worth at least 80exalt each (3div the most expensive one).

[dusky star]

...widowhail is a viable option for budget LA/etc. builds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epvrCqzWPko is a good resource

[candid spade]

basically feels like farming bosses is shit and you should just sell boss keys but then.. what are you playing for? I want my character to dunk on the biggest bosses not sell keys to them

[final quarry]

Do people sell carries to unlock the atlas points? So I can just focus on mapping, which is what I designed my build for?

[uneven heath]

yea thats the build im trying to do right now

[opal badge]

you'll need to be the map owner

[fathom oak]

Is this about what I want to be paying for a ring like this? Its got okay rolls in everything and only 1 wasted stat

[candid spade]

well everything has a price, if you buy a 10div invite to king, I'm sure you can find someone to one shot the boss for you for 1div

[opal badge]

lemme finish my trial and i'll look forone

[fathom oak]

Ty I ve been struggling to find a breach ring in price range thats actually okay

[final quarry]

Right, and I need to do it 4 times to unlock all the points too, don't I...

[candid spade]

I'm level 94 the only atlas I unlocked is 1 in breach and 2 in map bosses

never seen the expedition boss, never seen king invite

although I recommend you to buy a breachstone they are kinda cheap and then you kill Xesht and have easy 2 atlas points for breach farm

[dense moss]

3 Times my game crashed at same spot in iron citadel, any idea what to do? Got 3 portalu left ;-;

[opal badge]

that means an asset or algorithm bug

unlikely you can fix it

[final quarry]

Yeah I liked the idea at first but I am growing to hate it more and more, like I don't want to boss on my hexblast build, but it I don't, I cannot make money from mapping... Wut? That's just frustrating

[dense moss]

Fak my life

[opal badge]

can someone carry you

[candid spade]

well what I dislike is how rare/expensive it is to actually even have a try at these mechanics

invite to the king probably worst offender for sure

[opal badge]

or at least get past the broken part, then you port to them

[candid spade]

meanwhile trialmaster is like 50exalt for the 3keys

[fathom oak]

You can run maps to get the funds to make a bossing build if you really need to be able to boss or just take a long time killing a boss

[dense moss]

Well idk dont have anyone online

[final quarry]

That's part of it too, yes, the entry cost is steep

[candid spade]

well for bosses.. a little hammer of the gods ignite seem to work pretty well, xesht got one shot at my first try, it was difficulty 0 though

next time maybe he will need 2 hammers

[opal badge]

#2┃looking-for-group

[dense moss]

And sorry not iron, copper

[candid spade]

yeah but I'm level 94 I should at least have unlocked the first atlas points in every mechanic but I dont even have half

though I play warrior so it's slow but still

one shot bosses and clear screen in single AA

[final quarry]

I know I know I was thinking about a Twink for bossing, it's just silly tho

[storm crane]

Is there any way for me to influence which map will spawn as i discover the atlas ? I don't want Mire ever again

[opal badge]

no

[unique hawk]

I guess you can avoid the biome?

[storm crane]

That sucks, hard :/

We should be able to run 50 times in a row the same map imo

[candid spade]

at some point the maps are just some shit in the way to get to the citadels

[unique hawk]

Still sane exile?

[candid spade]

I don't even care about the towers or anything I just rush to citadels and then sell the crisis fragments

I mean I still activate tower if it's in my way but don't optimize shit around it

[unique hawk]

T1s to explore the map fast?
Sounds like a decent farming strat

[opal badge]

that's what they do

[blissful egret]

does the 77% hp for monsters apply to bosses?

[opal badge]

yes.

[candid spade]

didn't try that but that's a good idea

though I run t15 maps very fast unless it's insanely big

not sure t1 would be much faster

[light idol]

anyone insta crashing upon enetering trial of sekhemas aswell?

[storm crane]

your game tryna save you from hurting yourself, smart

[cobalt zealot]

is there anything else i can put in map device except waystones ?

[unique hawk]

Maybe T13s or something and you can run very fast with decent loot
If you want to clear maps fast I feel you want the ice ring

[light idol]

i can run it fine idk why today it stoped working, I go in it insta crashes

[blissful egret]

how much hp does arbiter have at base?

[dense moss]

Aight. Seems like i foxed the map, my friend also crashed out same spot

Had to clear all rituals

And now it works

[burnt herald]

what exactly does a level up give besides the skillpoint? do you get any stats? or do enemies deal less damage? I dont know if player level is part of any dmg formula

[trail dove]

you get less XP for a mob of a given level as you 'outlevel it', that much I know, lol

[opal badge]

you can equip better base gear.

[burnt herald]

well I am lvl 80 so I guess I can already equip everything lol

[opal badge]

kek

[amber bough]

Is it me or does it seem like inflation has really ramped up? I feel like prices are going up faster than I can get the currency for things I’m saving for

[opal badge]

not you

economy is effed

[amber bough]

like 3 days ago a 70% ingenuity was 10 div. Now it’s in the 20’s 😑

Botters must be up and running or something

[opal badge]

i camped an unique jewel seller for 3 days to buy one cheap

[amber bough]

Like waiting for him to log in?

[opal badge]

yep

[amber bough]

Lmao nice

How did you know he hadn’t logged in?

And how did you know when he did

[opal badge]

i just track his sale entry

[amber bough]

Can you do like live updates on an individual sale?

[opal badge]

oh yes.

[amber bough]

Nice

[opal badge]

well, not live

but hit reload

[dusk hinge]

ayo real quick , I got a audience with the king in my ritual ive deferred it I just need to know can I reroll after i have deferred an item

or do I just keep deferring it until I can get it?

[clear widget]

how i get this piece of shit out of my inventory 😂 dont really wanna do this quest, it only gives shit flasks anyways

[opal badge]

You can defer and reroll, but if you’re superemely unlucky you can reroll right back into it. Rare though

[opal badge]

Can’t. Kill more

[dusk hinge]

Wouldnt rolling another one be a good thing though and not bad ?

[opal badge]

If you can’t defer it again, i hear it’s a bad thing 😂

But i cannot confirm

[dusk hinge]

Oh you mean

reroll into the deffered item

[opal badge]

yes

[dusk hinge]

so i have to defer it again

ahhhhh

ok thanks

[hot prism]

I just found my first citadel, so to find the others should I go in a random direction from this citadel or from the starting area of the map ?

[trail dove]

I went back to (wherever it camr from, can't remember) and I was allowed at that point to dump it on the floor

[fathom lance]

Can someone tell me what the "ghosts" are that you can find in delerium encounters?

[fathom veldt]

with equal investment is potcg or normal monk better? (no astramentis)

[clear widget]

oohhh ill try that thanks

[opal badge]

Citadels spawn a minimum distance away from the start point. I’ve heard of 3 citadels spawning all within the same screen

So going further away would be better

[hot prism]

Ok, ty

[candid spade]

yeah they wont spawn at all in some radius around starting point

so just go in a straight line and stick to it

[drowsy trail]

Also, move from tower to tower I’d recommend

[candid spade]

but make sure your character is good enough to not die at citadel bosses tho..

[drowsy trail]

So you can juice up anything inbetween with tablets

[drowsy trail]

I failed at that at my first citadel, what a pain

Got boss to 2nd phase 50% hp

But I did some heavy investing after that

BTW, what are the citadel bosses?

[hot prism]

I guess you can't try the same citadel again if you die ...

[drowsy trail]

Are they the act final bosses?

[opal badge]

The story bosses

[drowsy trail]

Nope, you have to clear it

[opal badge]

Geonor, Jamanrha and Dora the Explorer

[drowsy trail]

Maybe go practice the act bosses before you enter it

[opal badge]

Crap there was a great opp to say ‘Kali Ma’

[drowsy trail]

Just be aware all their stats are boosted af

[candid spade]

I'm not sure but I think they are a bit different from campaign mechanics wise

but I one shot them so not even sure lol

[drowsy trail]

Looked pretty similar to me

Not sure it’s 1:1, propably not

But running the boss again and looking at mechanics doesn’t harm

[proven tangle]

Is trading broken right now or why does nobody answer my requests. I want to make a cheap luck gear but nobody answers wispers

[candid spade]

selling their fragments has been profitable. but doryani has the most expensive ones, didnt see his citadel yet

[drowsy trail]

Sometimes people don’t bother

[candid spade]

geonor I killed this fucker too many times already

[drowsy trail]

He froze and killed me

I was so salty that day

[candid spade]

they bother on 1div+ items

under that not so much and that's understandable

would you stop whatever you're doing for 1ex trash trade

[opal badge]

Price fixers out to scam newbies into selling top end gear for a pittance and flipping it for 50-60x profit

If it’s too good to be true it’s a scam

[drowsy trail]

I say I’d start at 5ex lol

But I’m a newbie myself

[tropic quarry]

Fuck all of this 😒

[drowsy trail]

99% of the currency I got was dropped

[candid spade]

t15 maps even with low rarity will give you multiple exalt on the ground

[opal badge]

As an Ice sorc this is easy hehehehehehe

[fathom oak]

Where do I want to spend this? This is my first rare map drop

[tropic quarry]

Yep, and I'm sure there are plenty of monsters that give you trouble that are easy for me 😅

[drowsy trail]

Im Running 15‘s and there’s maps where I don’t drop a single one

[tropic quarry]

Just let people have their moments.

[opal badge]

Spend high waystone drop stones on boss nodes. Add a tower buff for better result

That one’s 290%

[tropic quarry]

Proximal tangibility plus lots of movement mechanics are a nightmare for chaos dot, because when you have to walk away your dots/curses get removed lol

[opal badge]

Yeah as ice sorc I’d just put down sigil of power, a cursed ground, 3x frostwall, frost bomb then open him up and watch him explode

[fast pulsar]

once again the game is stuck on loading screens =/

[fathom oak]

Whats kinda the threshold of high waystone drop rate?

[candid spade]

btw can you carry ascendency 8pts in trial of chaos like people do in suckimas? since I can now reliably kill trialmaster I was thinking of doing some carries

it has to be the carried player key I think tho

the ultimatum key

[unique hawk]

Last time I got carried they drag me through the whole ultimatum

[candid spade]

well makes sense if you have to put the key to have the points

if they inv you before killing the boss I guess you get nothing but not sure

[unique hawk]

Doubt

[opal badge]

200-300% is good. Tower buffs add more. I had a 520% drop rate modifier + towers and got 4 rare t15 waystones off a single boss (this is post patch droprate nerf)

520% was an insane run though. Monsters had +40% damage three times (different dmg types) and a huge number of rare monsters/triple speed mods. If any fast monsters made it on screen I’d have died - everything had to die offscreen lol

Got real rich off that map though.

[drowsy trail]

You get keys by clearing chaos 10 trial once fully, right?

What would you like for a carry?

[candid spade]

you need 3 fragments to open trialmaster boss and each drop on the end of a 10 rounds run

and it's random

so you could farm 20 10rounds run and not have the 3fragments

(just buy them)

[drowsy trail]

Iirc it’s like 50ex for all 3, right?

So how much for your carry?

[candid spade]

yeah roughly

[candid spade]

well if I did carry first we would run the 10round trrial and hopefully get the tornado bird fate (30ex)

then buy the 2 other fates and go to boss and kill it

the question is, will the carried have the points? if it's his ultimatum key, I think so

or maybe the guy getting carried can just open the trial, I clear shit and open trialmaster door and then the carried enters. not sure on the mechanics

people sell sukimas because it's far easier you just invite before killing boss that you got with your own barya

[boreal garden]

you can teleport out from your barya as well

[candid spade]

same for chaos once you get to the reward room

you can portal out and then back in

that's how I do it, run it, see which fate I get, go out, buy 2fates, go in, kill trialmaster

but it seems selling fates is better than farming trialmaster for loot so

[drowsy trail]

Maybe I’ll just try myself again

Last time I tried I still had gear worth 1 div

Now it’s worth like 5 div

[candid spade]

well first times I tried him I got him to 50% after few minutes before wiping

when I went back, it was one shot

[drowsy trail]

Last time I tried doing it I got crushed my first boss most of the times 😂

[candid spade]

not sure how much my gear is worth total, probably 60dv

[drowsy trail]

Also, I didn’t try sekh at all yet

[candid spade]

too long and too frustrating

[drowsy trail]

Yeah that’s why

[candid spade]

chaos is easy and fast, except trialmaster if you have not enough dps

[drowsy trail]

I’ll just try again later

And then see what the cheapest carry is 😄

I‘m lvl 89 tho, I feel like I should get it done myself

[gaunt whale]

Hey guys. Just beat cruel with my Flicker Invoker monk.... As I begin doing waystones, should I just be picking up 'Expert' versions of the gear I have and crafting them over and over and over? That's what the grind is here?

[zenith sigil]

thats one way to do it

[drowsy trail]

Brother you have a lot to do 😄

[zenith sigil]

you could also just gather stuff, sell it for exalts/divines and then buy gear

[drowsy trail]

How’s your resistances?

[gaunt whale]

That's what I like to hear, how can I get started?

[zenith sigil]

or just get lucky with good drops

[gaunt whale]

They weren't bad in cruel

[drowsy trail]

Are they maxed in endgame?

So all at 75%?

[gaunt whale]

No.

[drowsy trail]

How is running t1-5‘s going for you?

Are you familiar with the trade website?

[zenith sigil]

getting 75% for the elemental resitsnces should be your first move

[gaunt whale]

The first way stone, and only way stone, that I did was a rare t1 map and it killed me.

[gaunt whale]

Thank you for helping me set a goal.

[drowsy trail]

Do you have exalted orbs?

[gaunt whale]

I'm out in my garage smoking a bowl and not in front of my computer, but I'll check in a moment

[drowsy trail]

Reading this from the office is a pain lol

But I’ll be with you in 3-4h 😄

[exotic gazelle]

what's better if i only care about inflicting shock to a single target, Arc or Spark?

[naive terrace]

is there another site ti posts trade items?

[gaunt whale]

It's MLK day and I'm union. Soooo lol

[drowsy trail]

As a European, I figure MLK stands for Martin Luther king, but the rest - 🤷🏻‍♂️

[blissful egret]

should i orb of chance this?

[kind cypress]

How do you know if you have enough difficulty to get atlas book drop from bosses?

[blissful egret]

chaos**

[drowsy trail]

By level

Gimme a sec

[fathom oak]

Thanks for this advice, the overseer gives 4 maps a boss

[gaunt whale]

When do I use Vaal Orbs? When a rare item I'm using is full upgraded?

[drowsy trail]

so its 79 at +0, 80 at +1, 82 at +2, and 83 at +3 difficulty to get all 4 sets
But you can use higher level bosses

[kind cypress]

yeah and if you dont mind looking for a upgrade if it bricks

[drowsy trail]

Meaning, you need a t15 waystone to get a book from map boss the first time

[lost mesa]

When you want to risk an item becoming better than it already is

[drowsy trail]

Then it has to be irritated or demon’d (forgot exact name)

Then it has to be both

[kind cypress]

How do you tell for breachstone boss?

[drowsy trail]

And then you‘ll also need another +1 level modifier I forgot where to get

[kind cypress]

Altar and breachstone itself show no level

[drowsy trail]

That I don’t know

[drowsy trail]

At almost lvl 90 I haven’t corrupted anything myself. It’s too risky imo

Did you check your exalteds tho?

[silent nacelle]

so how do i report a 100% repeatable bug

[opal badge]

Ggg forums

[silent nacelle]

kk ty

[lost mesa]

what bug lol

[silent nacelle]

if you cast hex blast in demon form and open aa portal at the same time it crashes your game

every fucking time

[kind cypress]

Oh wow

It does lol

[candid spade]

well that was anticlimatic. did my first arbiter fight at 94 with titan ignite. one shot boss in phase1 lol

[fathom oak]

This is worth using 2 exalts on because it can only get 2 prefixes right?

[lost mesa]

I just did it too. i knew he was going to be easy

[drowsy trail]

I wouldn’t use exalts on maps

[fathom oak]

fair

[drowsy trail]

At least not at any maps below t15

[proper hazel]

probably not at Tier 6.... I use exalts on T15s mostly

[fathom oak]

T6 is one of my highest maps so i was a bit excited lol

[peak wren]

Is there a way to know the price of certain "currency?" items that aren't on the currency exchange ? I have 3 boss tablets and the trade site says 1 ex, somehow I highly doubt that

[proper hazel]

tablets are on the currency exchange though

oh nvm not those tablets lol.... was thinking citadel tablets lol

[peak wren]

yeah lol

[pseudo barn]

Tablets aren't currency items so you gonna need to either check yourself on the website or use pricecheck tools like sidekick or overwolf overlay

[peak wren]

they say 1ex but that doesn't feel right

live search gives prices ranging wildly

[pseudo barn]

Well try to but some for 1 ex or check more closely

[blissful egret]

with delurium can you get the same perk twice?

[fathom oak]

Is it worth using a regal on my highest tier map for maximum gains?

[blissful egret]

what tier

[fathom oak]

7

[blissful egret]

do you have a good supply

[proper hazel]

regals are fine at T5+ imo, they drop alot so you wont really run out if your not dieing alot

especially if you disenchant more than sell for gold

[blissful egret]

ye if you have a good amount of regals go for it

[fathom oak]

my regal supply is healthy

[potent willow]

Does anyone know why my heal flask doesn't increase HP when HP decreases?

[fathom oak]

My t7 is not

[proven tangle]

in group content. Does luck gear count for both players, the host or the highest?

[lost mesa]

Do you have the skilll that makes it regen es instead?

[proper hazel]

lol the more you juice the maps the more maps will drop

my map supply tooo healthy lol

[barren atlas]

How much does the +1-2 mods on unique monsters node affect map boss loot? Is it very noticeable? I’m worried the boss deaths I could get from it might not be worth it

[potent willow]

nah dude

[blissful egret]

yeah same i ex all my maps so i always run a minimum of 300% drop chance

[proper hazel]

I've had to stop picking them up, I would have 3+ tabs of T15 if I didnt stop picking them up lol

[blissful egret]

xd i will always pick them up

[peak wren]

I asked for flat phys and the game gave me flat phys .. the monkey paw curled

[barren atlas]

NOOOOO

[blissful egret]

also are these any good?

[proper hazel]

they're ok but nothing great imo.... 2 wasted stats

[blissful egret]

i had literal god roll the other day 1 wasted stat i just needed + max mana i chaos and fucking got it but it got rid of movement speed

so i was just sad

because they would have been worth SO MUCH

and just dropped a div so happy now

[proper hazel]

lol, I dropped 2 so far today in my first 3 maps..... kinda bored though atm so not playing

[blissful egret]

no need to flex on me T-T

[proper hazel]

lol

[barren atlas]

Still Only ever seen 1 div after all these t15s…

[blissful egret]

what lvl are you

[barren atlas]

Me? 89

[proper hazel]

2 is nothing, I made 15 the day after the update with the new changes.... juiced maps crap money

[blissful egret]

you made 15 with just maps??

how much mf do you have

[proper hazel]

yessir

like 120%? I believe

[blissful egret]

wtaf

how am i so unlucky

[barren atlas]

I think viper might be the lucky one, not the other way around

[proper hazel]

gotta juice with towers, I usually set an area up with 4-6 towers or so depending on layout bfor I run any maps really

[drowsy trail]

Zuchi & Viper Are Both the extremes I’d say 😄

[blissful egret]

i dont really get how to properly juice towers if im being honest

[peak wren]

is there a way to salvage the quarterstaff ?

[lost mesa]

Through chaos orbs and lots of luck

[peak wren]

all suffixes were tier 1 too

[barren atlas]

Use a chaos. Then cry after it removes the 240%

[lost mesa]

exactly

[peak wren]

chaos always removes my fav mod

never had a lucky chaos

[drowsy trail]

It’s programmed that way

[opal badge]

The common strat is clear out unwanted nodes, then use a tablet to irradiate and apply the tablet’s modifier on the remaining nodes

[drowsy trail]

💀

[peak wren]

oh

the omen thing is 9 div too

[boreal garden]

just do a bad maps then use precursors

[drowsy trail]

Im joking btw 🤡

[blissful egret]

ic

[drowsy trail]

Bad Maps being crypt, augury…?

Like the small maps?

[boreal garden]

crypt, augury, any vaal map, forge, abyss etc

[proper hazel]

really depends on what your using to juice them, if you have maps you dont want breach,ritual or whatnot on then ya you should clear them bfor slotting the tablet...I dont bother doing all that though lol.... I just rush to all towers and slot good tablets then run what the gods provide lol

[opal badge]

Sometimes you want to super juice a map node in range of 3 towers, so you really clear out all the unwanted nodes except a few, then use boss/breach/expedition/delirium tablets so all the remaining maps are auper profitable

[peak wren]

honestly I'd believe it

[blissful egret]

how much ex are you guys getting per map you do

[opal badge]

But that’s honestly sweaty AF

[peak wren]

I could also corrupt and that might chaos it right ?

[opal badge]

I just juice whatever looks tempting and hope it hits

[proper hazel]

8-10 raw usually.... then whatever I sell

[drowsy trail]

Roughly 1-8ish depending on luck

[blissful egret]

alright cool

i usually get like 5-11

so decent

[opal badge]

In a low mod rare waystone? 4-8 in raw drops. More if I find something to sell

My record is 10-12 raw drops

[blissful egret]

i just got 11 ex a div and 3 chaos

[fathom oak]

Do flasks basically not get upgraded for ages after you get a good one in act3 cruel?

[blissful egret]

have any of you dropped 2 div in one map

[opal badge]

Of course divine and perfect jewellers are special

No

[peak wren]

corruption gave me 3 sockets... if it had a slighly higher phys roll it'd be an insane item

[opal badge]

Ultimates are it

[drowsy trail]

They cap at ultimate as far as I know

[opal badge]

Unless you get the uniques

[blissful egret]

my greatest claim to fame was me dropping a perfect jewellers orb in my 3rd ever t1 map

[boreal garden]

if you have like 0 atlas tree points for breach, just buy breachstone

[fathom oak]

I remember that people were complaining in poe1 about flasks grinding now you basically ignore them until you get a fancy unique one in late end game

[blissful egret]

oh also for the trial of chaos

is it random drop for which fate you get

or do you have to put it in the wall

to get the next

[drowsy trail]

I got a divine on one of my first T1’s

[lost mesa]

yes

[blissful egret]

i got 3 divine for my orb tho...

[blissful egret]

can you sell them?

[drowsy trail]

And then I died without picking it up because the mob exploded

[dim turtle]

9 ex and 50 splinters on a rustbowl breach.. the fk?

[blissful egret]

nice

[lost mesa]

yeah you can buy them from alva

[blissful egret]

cool

[drowsy trail]

Oh guys

Could anyone pls explain me the distilled things?

From delirium?

[blissful egret]

also what is an expedition logbook

what do those do

[drowsy trail]

They open a map with a bigger expedition

Those where you explode stuff

[blissful egret]

bigger than infinite?

[opal badge]

Random. I think it depends on the boss you kill last

[blissful egret]

ahhh

[faint swan]

when doing trials of chaos is it random which fate you get at the end or is it dependent on which boss you get last?

[opal badge]

Birdnado’s should be the most expensive because he’s the hardest

[blissful egret]

damn i struggle to kill the flying eagle bitch

[frigid lantern]

Hi all, i start now mapping but i get one shotted in map tier 1. I see my resistances are negative, also i dont have shield. How i can fix it? What is the mistake? What i should focus on to increase my defences? I should changw something on the tree or its just something about gear?

[blissful egret]

thats gonna be annoying

[gray ore]

ideally its lower % per charges used on olroth right?

[opal badge]

They’ve made him less deadly at least. I can survive touching his tornado now

[drowsy trail]

Do you have exalted orbs?

I’ve been where you are, don’t worry

[blissful egret]

ah

[frigid lantern]

Not a lot at the momento, i think only 1 or 2

But what is the mistake?

[blissful egret]

also im not tanky in the slightest

[drowsy trail]

No mistake, you just had bad luck with gear

[frigid lantern]

I mean im a monk and i just went trough the 6 acts without a lot of problem but now i just oneshot too fast

[opal badge]

Resistances. All endgame content needs survivability

[frigid lantern]

I deal dmg , a lot, but get oneshotted

[fathom oak]

If youre getting 1 shot in t1 maps how did you beat campaign

[drowsy trail]

Are you familiar with the trade website?

[frigid lantern]

Oneshotting everthing

[drowsy trail]

😄

[frigid lantern]

Not a lot , never used it

[opal badge]

I refined my 1 shot birdnado killing combo

[frigid lantern]

What i should look for? Resistances? Shield? Evasion? I dont get this really

[blissful egret]

what class are you

[opal badge]

Ice stormweaver

[blissful egret]

did you follow a guide or make it yourself

im sparkmage and have no idea how to get more damage

[opal badge]

Bro… what do you play? Basic defenses are kind of part of the game

[frigid lantern]

Im monk

[opal badge]

I started as homebrewed fireball/ignite, transitioned slowly to ice fire, went full ice, but couldn’t clear mid endgame content so I finally caved and checked here for build advice

[blissful egret]

lmao im in the exact same boat almost

[opal badge]

Then you’re evasion/energy shield

[blissful egret]

i used arc and much preferred it

so made my own

and then started using spark

[frigid lantern]

Why?

[lost mesa]

ES monk is very strong. if you get like 4k es and 30% evasion youre golden

[blissful egret]

and i tried using a more meta build but i just dont understand how to get 7k mana

[frigid lantern]

How i get it? Just gear?

[opal badge]

That’s where your tree points in. Evasion to avoid most attacks, energy shield for when dodging fails or you’re stepping in poison

[lost mesa]

yeah, and some passive nodes in the top region of the map

[gaunt whale]

Okay, I just finished cruel and I noticed my resistance is are only like, 3%.

Do I just run maps now and try to roll gear with elemental resistances over and over?

[frigid lantern]

So i just need to look for more gear?

[opal badge]

100 max mana gear rolls, Against the Darkness unique jewel with 1% max mana stat, all the max mana passives, int

[opal badge]

Yes. I suggest you just find a guide and follow it if this is your first time

[blissful egret]

i basically have that except the against the darkness

i have 3.5k mana

[opal badge]

There’s an entire monk channel here

[frigid lantern]

I watched diffrence guides and everyone say different things

[opal badge]

I’m currently 4.2-4.4k myself.

[blissful egret]

i mean my chest plate is like almost perfect

[opal badge]

Many different builds. Ice and lightning bells are popular

[frigid lantern]

I deal a lot of dmg literally oneshot, but now also i get oneshotted, my resistances are negative and literally i have no shield, what should i do?

[blissful egret]

just doesnt have that mana modifier but it gives 532 es

[frigid lantern]

Im ice strike

My build work perfect in damage the problem is i get shotted, so i just hve to find better gear?

[blissful egret]

stop one shotting things and get resistance

its what i had to do with my build

[opal badge]

Replace your gear to get positive res. Give up damage to not oneshot. Dead = no loot, 0 dps and no experience.

[frigid lantern]

So i just look for gears or i need to modify some? whats the best way?

[opal badge]

Buy some

Sell your unused currency

[frigid lantern]

To who?

[blissful egret]

alva

[opal badge]

Chaos orbs, arcane etchers, some blacksmith and armour shards

Currency Exchange at Alva yes

[frigid lantern]

Ok i gonna check a bit

And with those i buy gears?

And its good to modify the gear or i have to find it good?

[blissful egret]

find it good

you can get gear that will carry you to end game for a few ex

just aim for 1 ex per piece tho

[frigid lantern]

To alva?

[opal badge]

I learned that setting specific skills ONLY to weapon set 1 OR 2 makes it very easy to juice up combo sets.

E.G conductivity curse on set 2, with a chiming staff using +6-7 lightning skills (and almost nothing else so it’s cheap)
Then sigil of power also on set 2.

Your main dps skills on set 1.

You can then curse, sigil, and immediately attack with your main set without extra button presses.

[blissful egret]

no the trade site

[frigid lantern]

Oh ok

[opal badge]

If you’re lightning already you can probably skip the weapon set thing.

[blissful egret]

yeah i literally thoughtof the weapon set thing yesterday and its made me so much stronger

[frigid lantern]

Ex is tje exalted orb right?

[blissful egret]

ye

[opal badge]

Yes

[blissful egret]

the thing is tho arc is so much stronger than spark

[opal badge]

Focus on resistance and some evasion or energy shield stats

[opal badge]

Cast speed is the next major dps stat. I had 0 cast speed at first. When I got like 20-30% cast speed my dps TRIPLED

[opal badge]

that looks pretty good?

[drowsy trail]

WTF

[blissful egret]

?

[drowsy trail]

Im lvl 25

[opal badge]

91k without buffs?

[drowsy trail]

I have 32k

[opal badge]

Lol

[blissful egret]

oh no thats full buffs xd

[opal badge]

I was 2k at level 79-80.

[drowsy trail]

What does full buffs mean?

[blissful egret]

but no recent crit

like sigil

and mana temp

[opal badge]

That was how bad my dps was

[blissful egret]

just everything

[drowsy trail]

With mana temp I’m on around 45k

What’s Sigil?

[frigid lantern]

Ok i gonna try

[blissful egret]

thats my base spark and arc juiced up

[drowsy trail]

Im 140h into the game and still feel like I don’t know shit lol

[frigid lantern]

So first i try to buy gear to alva, and i f i have ex i check the trade website

[opal badge]

My frostbolt is 56-58k at rest, but can hit 96k at full power

[opal badge]

Buy exalteds from Alva. Then visit the trade site. Be careful a lot of sellers won’t reply

[fathom lance]

i got a measly 15K on my spark

[opal badge]

Yeah looks like mine

[frigid lantern]

Ok so i hage to look for gears that boost resistance evasion and es, but how i consider a good gear? It has to have all in one piece?

[opal badge]

My frostbolt splits on hits and generates 4-6 spheres per hit so there’s crowd control

[blissful egret]

thats hot

[opal badge]

Go for gear with 2 resistances and 2 defense stats at least.

[blissful egret]

can i leave trial of chaos mid way and go back

[frigid lantern]

Good thanks

[opal badge]

No. You can leave but it cancels the trial

[blissful egret]

saddddd

[fathom lance]

if your cast speed is high enough with spark. instead of holding down manually clicking will prevent you from slowing down
could allow you to switch out your mobility

[lost mesa]

chaos trial is very short anyway

[opal badge]

I tried it once to attend a sale and lost my expensive soul core

[blissful egret]

ye but im going against chimera for the 3rd time so i just wanna buy the things

[lost mesa]

yeah next time you just whisper them and say youll be 10 mins. most people will wait

[opal badge]

If you don’t wanna fight the boss just take your winnings before you pick a debuff and leave

You can cash out early

[opal badge]

I did that

This was a week ago. 😂

[blissful egret]

wait how do you leave early

[opal badge]

You see at the debuff choice menu a small red treasure box icon

[blissful egret]

ohhhhh

[opal badge]

Bottom left of the reward shown

[blissful egret]

thats cool

im at trial 9 i might as well finish

[opal badge]

You can just choose to cash out and take your winningss

[blissful egret]

chimera super easy

[opal badge]

Yeah

[lost mesa]

i one shot all 3 bosses hahaha

[lethal axle]

any1 can help me with my passive tree to do a better on call help 1?

[lost mesa]

dwhat class?

[lethal axle]

mercenary gemling legionnaire

[fathom lance]

quick question about delirium encounters
i've noticed there are 2 special things you can encounter, glass shards (which spawn monsters) and some manner of ghost that just disappears when you get too close. Whats that ghost? what does it do?

[delicate arrow]

they don't do anything, it's just there for flavour

[fathom lance]

ah, so just pop the crystals and move with the fog to stay in it as long as possible

[fathom oak]

If I take max energy shield nodes while I have MoM does nothing happen?

[gilded prawn]

Depends on if you have EB. %inc does nothing. Flat es is converted by EB.

[fathom oak]

Ah yeah i do have that

[unique hawk]

Correct
I recommend arcane surge

[fathom oak]

Sorry i got the nodes mixed up

Im looking for as much mana/tankiness from the tree as possible

Because im only at 3k mana doing maps and Id like another k or so

[gilded prawn]

There isn’t that much %mana node on the tree. Try to get flat mana and %mana on equipment. There’s also a %mana soul core

[delicate arrow]

yeah basically, or if you're me walk into a dead end and immediately lose it again

[fathom lance]

shit happens

[balmy hinge]

Does this do anything to skills that alr got +20% from prisms?

[delicate arrow]

yes. minion builds, not great for speed clearing, delirium is hard

[keen valve]

yes

[delicate arrow]

pretty sure it takes them up to 30

[balmy hinge]

Oh what does it do tho?

Like just more damage?

[delicate arrow]

quality does different things for different gems

[solemn canyon]

...it increases the quality by 10%

[keen valve]

whatever the gem states when you hold alt while hovering

[delicate arrow]

mouse over the gem and hit alt, the gem will tell you what quality gives it

Ive gotten to where I am mostly through gear, 2k out of my 3 is from gear but whenever i walk into the hand thing in maps and still get insta gibbed

[formal mulch]

I'm trying to run spark + archmage + lightning conduit build like i see in guides but i run out of mana almost instantly with 3800... am i doing something wrong??

[uneven heath]

i have a question, im trying to go for the budget deadeye build from fubgun but i feel like im stuck with everything i try that i think would "progress" to it. my dmg isnt that bad (32k on lightning arrow when i continue to shoot) but i struggle often with mana issues or im not doing enough dmg etc and i feel like that ranger is the wrong class when i look at monk, i dont even know what i wanted to ask but what would you guys recommend me?

[gilded prawn]

Yes

[gilded prawn]

Did you use Mana Tempest skill?

[deft gust]

can someone give me the pob link

Hey I just found this, no idea what these are. Worth selling or doing? https://i.imgur.com/5DO82Z0.png

[delicate arrow]

I'd do it personally, it's more content and content is fun. it's also an endgame system so you have a chance at getting some expedition atlas passive points and good loot

[quick pawn]

is it difficult?

[delicate arrow]

it's like a giant expedition that may have a boss or 2 in it

so if you struggle on expedition - yes
if you don't struggle on expedition - no not really

[opal badge]

That’s level 80

It can spawn the Expedition boss if you explode a special thing

It looks like an indiana jones temple ruin thing

You want to do that if you find it.

Bring friends if unsure

[delicate arrow]

yeah, the endgame stuff has all been pretty manageable thus far, some of the bosses have one hit mechanics though so maybe watch a youtube video of it if you're nervous

spoilers obviously but the alternative is bricking your content to a mechanic you didn't understand

[sudden wraith]

after i finish act 3 i have to redo everything again?

[delicate arrow]

yep on "cruel" difficulty

so the mobs will be harder and more varied and raised up to your level

[sudden wraith]

clrearly

i struggle now

[delicate arrow]

eventually (in full release) cruel will be gone, and instead we'll have acts 4-6

[delicate arrow]

ah sorry 😦

[sudden wraith]

but i have to do like anything new beside cruel?

like an endgame thing?

[delicate arrow]

there is an endgame after cruel if you want to do it

It's pretty cool you have a big map of the world and go to little nodes that are craftable maps

and you expand the map. and there are new mechanics, bosses, content etc

it's a little thin right now if I'm being honest but still pretty fun

[sudden wraith]

oh ok

ty

[delicate arrow]

np sukuna

[drowsy trail]

"thin".. 😄 Thick enough to keep me busy for 140h at this point

[delicate arrow]

lolol. I mean only in comparison to PoE1. i'm north of 100 hours in and loving it

[drowsy trail]

we'll get there and much further with poe2, im kinda sure

also, i never really got into poe1

[dull flint]

why dont most (all ive seen) minion builds use the Support Gem that gives +1 Minion level to the supported skill? every gear piece is about +level but the support gem gets ignored?

[drowsy trail]

i can only assume, but maybe you get more value out of other support gems?

[dull flint]

gotta be i guess but every guide says level is the most important and not one uses that gem

[delicate arrow]

level is important on gear because you can't get feeding frenzy on gear

simple test, check the minion dps, then swap some supports out. level supports get outclassed by others

[blissful egret]

how come when i take off eldritch battery i have 5.5k es and when i get eldritch battery which 'converts all es to mana' i only gain 1.5k mana?

[royal agate]

running a delirium map with instilled waystone removes the delirium?

[solemn canyon]

conversion applies before modifiers in poe2

[pulsar hollow]

why is it so hard to keep up waystones...
i even specced my atlas tree into higher rarity and more waystones
but if this map doesnt drop one, im gonna go down from t10 to t6...

[dull flint]

i didnt even know you can check minion dps - tyvm

[blissful egret]

so the stat of es increase by % base doesnt affect my build at all??

[royal agate]

meanwhile people asking for map stash tab cause banks are filled with maps

[pulsar hollow]

i got one tab full of maps
but its all low level maps...

[delicate arrow]

np np. do that and you'll quickly see why you don't use +1 level supports lol

[royal agate]

it was only hard to sustain when I started mapping, now I have full tab of t14-15 maps

[drowsy trail]

did you get any tablets yez?

those things you put into cleared towers

[solemn canyon]

yes, if you're converting 100% of ES to mana, %increased ES on tree or accessories will do nothing

[drowsy trail]

you get some + from that

also, you can use orbs (augmentation, transmutation, regal, ...) on waystones for +% waystone droprate

[royal agate]

guys, does delirius waystones removes the delirium from the map?

[blissful egret]

so the only stat that will increase my mana on this is the base energy shield?

[drowsy trail]

i'm on t15 and I'm barely holding myself with that

[pulsar hollow]

i keep getting tablets for the wrong things (i want to focus on delirium)
i bought some delirium tablets and i keep using those and irradiation tablets

[pulsar hollow]

it doesnt help that i occasionally die in t8+ maps
as sometimes i get oneshot by
...something?
hard to tell quite often...

[drowsy trail]

do you have max resistances?

[blissful egret]

what are you resistances, send ss of your char sheet

[velvet ruin]

how do i search lvl 7?

[blissful egret]

3rd row down where it says item lvl

[velvet ruin]

thank you

[pulsar hollow]

almost
72% or higher on all (except chaos, thats 0%)

[drowsy trail]

what class you playing?

[royal agate]

cap your elemental resists to 75%, get your chaos resist above 0% if you just started mapping, and to 40-50% later.

get more hp/energy shield

[pulsar hollow]

gemling
im still trying to get 3rd and 4th ascension
then i can use the resistance passive

[drowsy trail]

if your main defense is energy shield you could consider going down to 1hp for 100% chaos res

[uneven heath]

i have a question, im trying to go for the budget deadeye build from fubgun but i feel like im stuck with everything i try that i think would "progress" to it. my dmg isnt that bad (32k on lightning arrow when i continue to shoot) but i struggle often with mana issues or im not doing enough dmg etc and i feel like that ranger is the wrong class when i look at monk, i dont even know what i wanted to ask but what would you guys recommend me to do, i feel lost

[pulsar hollow]

i got 3684 hp and 396 ES rn
with 28%armor and 62% evasion

[drowsy trail]

im just learning stormweaver myself, so I cant help you from here on

i have no idea how anything else stays alive

[pulsar hollow]

i usually die when i need to go in for tempest flurry + tempest bell combo

on a rare

[unique hawk]

You want to be monk?
You could build flicker strike deadeye if you aren't feeling like being ranger anymore

[pulsar hollow]

oh damn my filter REALLY highlighted this amethyst ring that just dropped for some reason

[royal agate]

check that channel. people there probably know what to do with that acendancy

I only played titan, so

[pulsar hollow]

i wonder why the filter (from filterblade) thinks some things should glow more sometimes
is it because of the chaos resist?

[somber cypress]

for boss lv 79 we need last tier of map no?

for the altas points

[slate pine]

I just died to we who are one becasue my game is low quality(bad computer) p2w game

[velvet ruin]

how come when i equip this, my spirit doesnt go down?

[slate pine]

right click its icon to activate

[velvet ruin]

oh im so dumb thank you

[uneven heath]

the thing is that i feel lost with my ranger, i dont even have a build on it and i dont know how to progress because the build im trying to go for and everyone recommended me dont really work out for me. i dont have everything i need for the build but most of the stuff and it just dosent work out for me and i feel lost with how i should progress or make even decent money, all the money ive made so far are out of pure luck and not with good things even. idk im lost

[slate pine]

npnp, you can go to interface and check on the show auras so you can see on the top left whats active rn, so you dont forget it by mistake

[silk schooner]

can you annoint corrupted amulets ?

[pseudo barn]

Nope

[prime wave]

wtf, 148 ex for a div

[deft gust]

first ex drop way to much compared to other currency

uses majority wasted on slapping mods on maps and if u use them properly u get x2-3 the amount back so there is a abondance on EX

[prime wave]

still, it's like +15 from yesterday

[somber cypress]

yeah div are climbing high...

never dropped one so far

[versed pulsar]

Since so much price fixing seems to be going on: I listed a Pillar of the Caged God... There seem to be many people that list it for 1 ex, quite a few for 3 ex. But when I put it in for 5ex, I get messaged directly...

are all those lower offers only fake?

[unique hawk]

If you port it all to PoB I could take a look I guess
Maybe I can give you some direction and tell you what you are missing

[plain crypt]

Hi guys

Anyone know what Live Search on the trade? when i try and activate it, it just searches for eons.
I haven't really used it before but someone recommended using it to find bargains, but no bargains to be found... only a endless loop of loading

[prime wave]

the people who list for 1ex don't respond because they think it's a waste of time

[versed pulsar]

Hm ok. But its not worth crazy amounts right?

[deft gust]

that happens always the currency thats used to trade drops drastically mid leagues compared to divines

[high citrus]

is it even possible to solve this layout as a solo player the soul cores are on the platforms above the only way to go up the platforms is to stand on the floor and pull the lever but if i pull the lever i cant stand on the floor what do i even do or am i just stupid

[prime wave]

use the elevator

[plain crypt]

go back up beside the entrance elevator, you can access it there, after pulling the lever below

[prime wave]

it's pretty common drop so it's not worth much even if it's popular right now

[high citrus]

literaly the last thing i would have ever thought of

thanks a ton

[drowsy otter]

how to get 6 link

[deft gust]

endgame crafting consumes just way to much, chaos, divines... so the prices of those go up and the easy accessible currencies that are used less go down in value, what i assume is happening

[uneven heath]

It’s probably rings, gear etc and I don’t know how to use PoB

[gilded prawn]

Use a perfect jewel orb or Vaal a 4 socket and hope.

[deft gust]

does someone have a idea why i cant use that tower?

[drowsy otter]

which one would you say is cheaper

[deft gust]

trying to attack it but nope

[drowsy otter]

on average

[gilded prawn]

Bug

[deft gust]

so what do i do?

[gilded prawn]

Depends on your luck. Neither is

[deft gust]

rr the game?

[gilded prawn]

Try complete another map next to it. Or just move on

[deft gust]

i aint going to move on
there are 6 towers in range of eachother lol

i came with a reason and plan hahaha

[patent bloom]

Is it not possible to reforge T15 waystones?

[pulsar hollow]

Is this valuable? Looking on the trade site similar rings seem to be pricey, but im still not sure. (Sorry for photo, am on a steamdeck)

[patent bloom]

If similar is, then yes. Undercut price a bit to be sure

[pulsar hollow]

Tbh i still havent sold anything on the market, so im not quite certain on selling stuff
I only buy atm (and use currency exchange)

[patent bloom]

The majority of players only buy iLvl 78+ imho

[drowsy otter]

kk thanks

[pulsar hollow]

yeah, thats why i didnt stress much yet with checking for good stuff
trying to get to and to sustain t11+ maps atm

[solemn canyon]

if it's a completed item, the ilvl is not relevant

only the affixes

ilvl is only relevant to bases for further crafting

[deft gust]

do i wanna know what is happening here?

he doesnt take dmg, my minions just stand around doing nothing

[pulsar hollow]

i slammed 2 exalts into the ring cause it seemed good

[patent bloom]

That makes sense

[spice delta]

Is there any build that would use this?

[solemn canyon]

honestly no idea what item that is

[spice delta]

Deaths harp ( no clue how to change the language ig bothers me too)
6 arrows per schot sound kind of nice for pathfinder but not sure if its qorth building around that

[blissful egret]

when you do the trial of chaos and you get the 3 fates is there like another boss fight or is that it you just get the points there and then
