[lethal summit]

what does 1 do with waystones with trash modifiers?

[mint pivot]

Vendor them or run your filler maps with them

or if they're below t15 you can 3-to-1 them at the reforge bench

[lethal summit]

done all of this 🙏

[lethal summit]

prob vendor

cba dying anymore

disenchant for regal shards or sell?

[mint pivot]

whichever

if you need regals then that

[lethal summit]

kk

[mint pivot]

I usually just take the gold

[lethal summit]

what waystones am i looking for for citadels?

in terms of positive mods

and/or level (15 vs 16)

[mint pivot]

you want high waystone drop chance

because that affects how many fragments they can drop

[lethal summit]

wtf

that's non intuitive

[mint pivot]

so ideally as high of waystone drop chance as you can get without it being too lethal

avoid monster speed, and aoe, that completely ruins the boss balancing.

make sure you turn off Deadly Evolution in your atlas tree and you can even de-level the boss tree if you want to make the bosses easier

[lethal summit]

turn off deadly eveolution bc it makes boss too lethal?

[mint pivot]

IMO it's just not worth the risk

they could get hasted or mana siphoner or something

[lethal summit]

that makes a lot of sense

[mint pivot]

unless you know for sure you can blast it then I would turn it off for the citadels until you have an idea of how your build stacks up

losing out on DE for one map is no big deal

[lethal summit]

done this part. this waystone looking good enough?

highest chance i got without crap mods

[mint pivot]

which citadel is it?

[lethal summit]

iron

[mint pivot]

I wouldn't run aoe on stone or iron

[lethal summit]

makes boss attacks too hard to dodge?

[mint pivot]

well the laser beams that geonor does benefit from aoe

not to mention his blood slam

so he's probably the worst to give aoe to

[lethal summit]

i seeee

man there's so many little things that matter

this ok?

[mint pivot]

looks fine to me

[lethal summit]

great!

[mint pivot]

idk how good your build is though

monster damage and shock is somewhat lethal, but it's not that bad

[lethal summit]

should be ok

tbh until yesterday i maxed out all my waystones

without looking at modifiers

and i only died 1/2 of the time

so it can't be that bad, right?

[mint pivot]

most mods aren't that bad

haste/elemental pen/- max res are the worst imo

especially on maps with a boss aoe/haste is very scary

I only run those suffixes on filler maps for the most part

[lethal summit]

is this "haste" ?

[wraith creek]

Does are level matters in ultimatum?

[mint pivot]

yes

[lethal summit]

gotcha

i'll filter those out going forward as well

[lethal summit]

rn i'm filtering these out

i feel like all of those are nasty

[mint pivot]

crit is fine IMO, ele weakness you can build around if you overcap your resists by 15

if you can't overcap resists then it's just as bad as -max res though

[lethal summit]

ye it's the case for now

i'll change that once i solved that

crit is fine you think? shit looks scary when i see +400% crit chance

and like +50% crit dmg or something

on the same 1

[mint pivot]

I think crit is only scary if it's combined with another damage mod

like if they have crit and extra fire damage or whatever it's scary

but by itself, eh

[lethal summit]

hmmmmm

i see

i'll keep it out for now

perhaps later i'll include back in

but for now i wanna stop dying

😄

BRUH

3 fragments @mint pivot

🫶

thank you my man!

[mint pivot]

Nice, no problem

[iron sun]

how to reach there?

[mint pivot]

Looks like you can't

[iron sun]

rip

[wraith creek]

Anyone knows?

[spare fern]

Area level determines the monster level still I believe. So it matters in terms of xp and item level of dropped items. Doesn't affect the trial rewards or ascension points.

[muted olive]

Anyone know how to make a regex that does item level of a level or higher?

[arctic crag]

ilvl:[0-7][0-5] will do ilevel 0-75, you just have to treat it as a text and try to match each digit

[muted olive]

ty

[thick kernel]

max level req for level 82+ base rares? I wanna know when i should start getting upgrades for a new character

[lethal summit]

is this worth anything? had a special color in the loot filter but trade site has lowest at like 1 regal

[mint pivot]

Price fixers. Some demon form variants use it for sustain.

Hard telling what it's worth, looks like at least a handful of ex

[tribal pike]

what do these mean

[mint pivot]

there's a legend with info top left

they are map/league mechanics, special events in that map

[tribal pike]

ohhh ty tysm

bet ty king

[lethal summit]

gotcha thanks

[arctic crag]

it can be 75-84 depending on what mods it has rolled iirc

[lethal summit]

i put at 1 div in a quad tab

🤷‍♂️

if it goes it goes

[mint pivot]

Doubt it sells for that much uncorrupted

[arctic crag]

what corruption do you even want on this btw? It looks very niche

[mint pivot]

Higher regen, higher chaos res/ES or an extra socket

Ideally you would just get all 3 affixes high rolled but that's going to be super rare

or spirit

high spirit corrupt is almost always worth something

[kindred lynx]

Is the simulacrum supposed to be much harder than the other pinnacles?
I've yet to try the mist king invitation but i did level 1 breach splinter and lvl 2 expedition logbook pretty effortlessly but got wiped at wave 5 simul twice in a row

[prime wave]

i found simulacrum a lot harder

[kindred lynx]

ok im glad its not just me
feel like i might genuinely need some serious upgrades to even get to the boss

kind of sucks that the new extra attempts dont apply before the boss but honestly im not sure they wouldve made a difference, all my minions died instantly and i followed suit pretty fast

[small estuary]

Can I anoint a corrupted amulet?

[mint pivot]

no

[coarse lodge]

why can't i chance this?

couldn't this be that really good ring belt thing?

[mint pivot]

Ingenuity is a boss drop

they cannot be chanced

[coarse lodge]

oh that makes me a sad panda

[lethal summit]

do i make any swaps?

[smoky field]

hello does anyone know how to filter -% all elemental resistances? for controlled metamophises, how would i filter lets say -6 to -10?

[junior hornet]

just use the exact wording

[smoky field]

alright ty

[small fern]

Simu doesn’t have a true boss.

[covert dragon]

looks like a vaal gamba type unique

where price is dictated by the enchantment you get on it

[spark basalt]

Should I just try and farm my own adorned, or div farm for it? I've juiced my maps thru the roof and it's been 3 days since I seen a raw div.

[mint pivot]

The likelihood to drop a well rolled adorned is very low

Farming and buying will be easier

[spark basalt]

Dude I haven't seen a div in three days lmao

[mint pivot]

Dropping raw divs isn't really how you make your currency

but 3 days seems too long if you're actually juicing

more important question is how many hours

[spark basalt]

700

lvl 95.

[mint pivot]

I meant in those 3 days lol

[spark basalt]

Minimum of at least 4 hours a day

Just. Mapping.

[mint pivot]

How are you juicing?

Have rarity on your gear?

[spark basalt]

It's such a vibe kill man

<60% quantity/ <100% rarity, 100 char rarity, full lobby, and juicing the hell out of my towers

I wish I was making this shit up

[mint pivot]

Happens

I can't speak to group juicing

[spark basalt]

Yeah it "happens", I guess. Just an absolute vibe kill

[mental pendant]

im playing herald ice and thunder... how to deal with mod+ 100%ailment threshold?

[mint pivot]

Polcirkeln swap can work

[mental pendant]

the ring right bud?

[mint pivot]

shatter chilled enemies yeah, if you can't chill through that mod then your damage is pretty low

[spark basalt]

I hope his sheds some light to you as to why I'd rather farm adorned than maps. I hate being wrong, but this is a first. I'd love to be told what I'm going wrong with lmao

[mint pivot]

I mean ToC is a decent currency farm, but you prob aren't gonan hit adorned raw.

Not a good one at least

[spark basalt]

At this point I'm more convinced I'll see a <80% adorned drop before a raw div drops again lmao

[tribal pike]

does freezing count as a stun

[mint pivot]

no

[glass forge]

WTS 20 t15 white maps come

[hidden heath]

[gaunt scaffold]

Does omen of whittle break after one use?

Or can you keep whittling

[outer solar]

someone maybe know why this doesn't upscale my spark dps tooltip? I tried swapping spark gem off, restarting the game too

[mental pendant]

how can i increase amount of Breach Hands ?

[swift brook]

these new mechanics aren't actually out yet right?

There isn't any new content i've missed the past few weeks on my break

[proud void]

so what do the iron/copper/stone citadels look like on the map? cause I've been expanding my map and don't think I've seen any

[barren atlas]

these pillars of light, like this

[proud void]

ah sweet, thanks

and damn you can see them far away, thanks again

[barren atlas]

I actually saw it quite a ways away further back originally, like an entire screen when zoomed out max.

so if you cant see any lights at all no matter how far out, it might be a while before you find one :[

[proud void]

well im moving towards one now, so, progress finally lol

[muted olive]

all resist rings and amulets, how do you up those mods?

like what catalyst

[amber helm]

theres no resistance catalyst

do for specific type (fire/cold/light/chaos)

any of fire/cold/light applies for +# to all res

[long terrace]

anyone know why my archmage is costing 110 spirit when it says it should cost 100

[amber helm]

supports?

[long terrace]

oh shoot i didnt know it worked like that thanks

[muted olive]

ty

[silver hazel]

which chests in sehk am i looking to open? ik royal spectral and time lost

[orchid breach]

My best strongbox drops since release...

[silver hazel]

arcanist any good?

[minor void]

yes, you can get exalts from it

[last mantle]

how do i get past this wall, i already killed the boss

[silver hazel]

cooked

only way out atm is to exit to char select

but you already ported so its bricked

[last mantle]

nah i only opened the portsal

i didnt g othrough yet

does that couint

[silver hazel]

no

if its already open you set the port to a new area and you cant go back to original portal

[last mantle]

lame

so is that wall staying a bug or intented

[silver hazel]

bug

design flaws bc early access

happens also on vaal foundry

and count geonor cit

[last mantle]

yea iron cit is cooked i got stuck before as well

[silver hazel]

well psa dont put port in boss room if youre locked in. exit to char select and reenter map

[last mantle]

aight ty

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/fubgun-attribute-stacker
how can he use cast on shock with all other buffs

i did drop the precision as he said if not 30 spirit on helm

[junior hornet]

turn off heralds

[onyx chasm]

so cast on shock is for bosses

right

[junior hornet]

yep

[onyx chasm]

not for mapping

ok

[silver hazel]

what radius do u need to spec jack of trades on controlled metamorphosis

[onyx chasm]

man i was playing tempest fury wrong way xD

this fub setup is better

[mental pendant]

what is the regex that i can seach for my djin barya lvl 79-80?

i went poe regex wbsite cant find one

[kindred lynx]

man, ritual is so hard to break into
all the other pinnacle items you can buy for pretty cheap but im not paying multiple divines just for 2 skill points

[silver hazel]

2 skill points and potential diamond/ingen

[kindred lynx]

arent the odds really bad until you get to higher pinnacle levels?

[silver hazel]

no its same i believe, but once u get those points it becomes easier to find keys in your own rit maps

buyin mechanic 100%

[kindred lynx]

i see, i thought that the level influenced the drops for those
i mean i was probably gonna end up buying it at some point cause man it feels pretty rare with raw ritual tree

but im far away from being able to drop multiple div comfortably so ig my rituals are gonna suck for a while

[candid escarp]

is there any point in leveling raging spirits? it doesn't seem to have any scaling effect?

[junior hornet]

the skulls are stronger

[tall epoch]

monsters take 20% dmg relic including boss?

[tepid shell]

Help i am stuck in someone game instance (I am not in a party with the guy standing there)

Yet i can enter his trial, cant interact with the trial altar

[wary oxide]

ESC -> exit to log in screen should help?

[tepid shell]

Shut down the game and reenter doesnt help

Yesterday i even enter other player game instance, help him with trial of chaos

When i finish it, still stuck in that game instance in sekhema trial. It's like That specific zone apply different rule

[wary oxide]

damn that sounds crazy, no clue how to help here lol

[placid pond]

Go to other place, then ctrl+click on the node to show the new instance button, to enter in a new instance

[tepid shell]

which node ? could you screensave it pls

[placid pond]

Also you can reset instance going to the next screen and ctrl + click on the entrance
Node = waypoint

"How To Get Into New Instance In Path Of Exile 2"
Copy that and search in YouTube 😛

[tepid shell]

cant lmao

[junior hornet]

you can't in trial

[tepid shell]

I can make new instant in everywhere except trial

[placid pond]

WTF, then try to play other place for a while, 15 minutes or so

[wanton dawn]

damn these game news pings be baiting me lately

[woven kindle]

From 60-65 whats the best place to level?

I can't seem to do no real damage 😒

[tepid shell]

Map

[woven kindle]

Tried running with people.. but I just get squished so easy lol

[frigid lantern]

get carried

[junior hornet]

you need better gears, cap res and decent ehp

[frigid lantern]

get gud

[woven kindle]

Agreed. This blood mage is squishy lol. I got some basic gear for it.. but need a couple more levels.

[junior hornet]

oh... blood mage

[woven kindle]

yea lol

[worthy latch]

does anyone have this problem?

[tepid shell]

Turn it off for 15 min, back to normal

[worthy latch]

is the sever down or?

[gleaming kiln]

looking for someone to rush me from act 1 cruel to endgame.

will pay 1 div

[novel crow]

try the TFT discord

no services for sale here

[junior hornet]

tft price is 3d per act

[gleaming kiln]

where do i find this discord?

[novel crow]

google the forbidden trove, we're not supposed to link it

[upbeat geyser]

3d per act sounds like such a scam with the current div to exalt rate

[frigid lantern]

For charged staff, do I have to keep refreshing it every 20 something seconds? I feel like its a mini game I playing to just always make sure I refresh it before ite end.

[ivory forge]

To keep using it yea you need to refresh the duration

[potent wraith]

Sorry if this seems obvious, but I’m curious to know why lots of people seems very interested in uncut spirit gems, particularly lv8? I’m very curious what they get from it

[junior hornet]

they need a low level spirit skill b/c of requirements, also they are rare b/c nobody farming low levels

[potent wraith]

Oh that makes sense @junior hornet I thought maybe I was missing something because I priced one gem for 50 ex and within minutes it was gone, thank you 😊

[fading junco]

is there any way to check and see which permanent passive quest reward I chose for Act 3 Normal - Venom Crypt? I read that it was a permanent choice but I dont remember which passive I chose

[forest trout]

Doesn't the bottle show on the minimap?

[fading junco]

in the zone? doesnt look like it, internet says you cant change it I just went through 99% of the zone

I can with the others but not that one it seems

[tribal jackal]

open the map and you will see

[fading junco]

sorry I see it, youre 100% right lol

[tribal jackal]

left right or middle

[fading junco]

ya i just got it thank you

i picked the wrong one >< Q.Q no mana regen for me :/

[tribal jackal]

dw i picked the wrong one on 2 characters

[fading junco]

did think i'd have this bad of mana issues late game. single target bosses hurts

i got my 4th ascendency finally on my monk and went Elemental Expression which is just wrecking my mana on single targets now

[thorn rose]

How much harder is breach boss than trial master?

[trail dove]

possibly the wrong place to ask, is there a good Invoker/Monk channel I can join in Build Help, the main one is full and won't even let me post

[delicate fiber]

What is best precursor tablets?

Or is everything good?

Anything to avoid?

[naive wasp]

Depends on what content you wanna run the best is subjective unless you mean what's the most expensive to sell

[naive wasp]

I don't know the monk channels but all of the classes have their own channels you might have to look more or it might not be under "monk"

[keen olive]

The Desperate Alliance, Vase Relic‌ if i have like 170% relic drop from monsters and get the boost from merchant does that mean that this will drop 3 against the darkness?

im talkin bout trial of sekhemas

[blazing beacon]

Yes, I am having that issue now

[junior hornet]

2 guaranteed and 70% for the 3rd

[waxen trout]

no you do not drop multiple ATD

ATD is not a relic

[junior hornet]

oh wait you mean using the desperade to get against the darkness, it's a jewel not relic

@keen olive btw irrelevant but can I ask about our mutual discord friend? 👀

[chilly wadi]

Atziri Atziri

[wary oxide]

can some1 explain how skill gem corruption works in this regard: the starting gem doesn't have to be lvl 20 uncut, right? can it be any level, like say 15? so as long as the corruption rolls +1 level to your gem, you can upgrade it via leveling all you want up to 21? or you actually have to start with a high level one?

[keen olive]

our mutual?

[keen olive]

damn nice thanks bro

so like 2 against the darkness if i run with this relic?

[keen olive]

oh damn just read now

[junior hornet]

click on my profile

[keen olive]

oh what how tf u have him as ur friend

tf

[junior hornet]

he's my ex colleague

[keen olive]

same

heard hes married

didnt know he also plays poe2 lol

[junior hornet]

yeah and no he didn't play poe, I clicked on your profile and saw it

[keen olive]

Oh damn ye what coincidence

I used to work with im in a small company

[junior hornet]

same 👀

[keen olive]

U works at parislumie by any chance?

[junior hornet]

yes...

[calm grotto]

wtf is this

nearly no place to stand on

[novel crow]

The 40% reduced rate of mana recovery downside in ultimatum, does that also affect regen?

that's just the flask recovery, right?

[dull plank]

Recovery is any form of regaining life/mana/es over a duration

So regen is affected

[novel crow]

hrm okay thanks

weird, 40% less should be very noticeable on my build but isn't

oh it's reduced, not less

[calm grotto]

just use the melting maelstrom

and u will not feel it

[novel crow]

I can't take the chaos

[calm grotto]

why not

low life?

[novel crow]

not a CI build

[calm grotto]

how much life do u got

[novel crow]

1650

no regen

5400 mana

momeb

defeats the purpose if I get damage at the end of it

[wary oxide]

the game doesn't allow me to socket in 2 prism of belief diamonds at once, is that how it should be? the tree is limited to 1 prism?

[novel crow]

1350 chaos damage, after resistance is still 337dmg

I guess it's not that much, hrm

[calm grotto]

but u heal 5400

[novel crow]

yeah I know

[calm grotto]

so u total heal what 4050

instantly

[novel crow]

hrm I didn't work out the numbers, it's not much is it

guess I need one

[ivory forge]

It's also current and not max mana

[calm grotto]

u got 7 charges

so

7x 5kmana

35000

even if u get the best mana flask

u heal what? 1k per use?

650

that's the best one i got

[novel crow]

really trying to decide if I can take the 75% mana reduction downside

the 45 is fine

[calm grotto]

it's fine

tbh

75%

at least for me

i use the flask so no diff

[novel crow]

I have 1280 mana regen

[calm grotto]

[novel crow]

guess I could try it, if it doesn't work out I can always sell it again

they always sell

[calm grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/dj-khaled-another-one-one-gif-5057861

it is a good flask to carry around

[novel crow]

hrm they only cost 5d, I thought they were more

[calm grotto]

oh

the price drop so much?

was 10d when i got it

[novel crow]

I guess a lot of ppl have farmed them lol

[viral blaze]

why am i getting this msg?

i did all the quests

[novel crow]

go thru the portal?

also you can't do your first map from a hideout it has to be from ziggurat refuge

[viral blaze]

oh didnt k about first map in zigg ref ty

works 😄

[novel crow]

I had the same problem

weird, I used to be terrified of ultimatum thanks to poe1, but turns out it's my best mechanic in 2

and most rewarding thing I can do

tbf it's very different to that tiny ring thing

well, the build is working well now...

[waxen trout]

when's the marriage

[wary oxide]

can some1 explain how skill gem corruption works in this regard: the starting gem doesn't have to be lvl 20 uncut, right? can it be any level, like say 15? so as long as the corruption rolls +1 level to your gem, you can upgrade it via leveling all you want up to 21? or you actually have to start with a high level one?

[tiny sedge]

nope it has to be a level 20 or the market would be flooded XD

[novel crow]

hrm that reminds me I need a 21lvl fireball

[lament meteor]

guys i just completed inscribed ultimatum with 10 trials, but i did not get the ascendancy did i do something wrong?

[calm grotto]

what's this

and this

[wary oxide]

that's what I assumed back in the day - but here Belton just corrupts lvl 18 and 19 base alongside lvl 20 and hits the roll AND it works with the upgrade https://youtu.be/oucMIeOCjjA?t=740

[ivory sandal]

For your 4th point you'll need to beat the Trialmaster boss for which you need the 3 fragments to open the door after the 10 trial ultimatum.

[ivory sandal]

An underground area that you can access after blowing the entrance up.

[calm grotto]

worth going for?

what's this 3 then

[ivory sandal]

Havent done any logbooks myself in poe2. In poe they werent really worth it.

[wary oxide]

or maybe Spirit gems work differently than skill gems? but that would have been nonsensical tbh

[wanton dawn]

not true

[ivory sandal]

For some reason upgrading levels of a corrupted gem via uncut works.

Feels like a bug but since it hasnt been fixed since release it doesnt seem to be one.

Or i missed the patchnotes where it was fixed.

[novel crow]

amazing there was one just under how much I farmed today

life is good

more than 10% more dmg getting it to lv31

[tiny sedge]

looks like im wrong but that has to be a exploit that makes zero sense

[novel crow]

well worth it

[wary oxide]

appears to be the case. I was kinda afraid to try this with lvl19s I have laying around because if I hit it and it doesn't upgrade - well, that's just 2 divines down the drain lol

[tiny sedge]

why for all that is holy should you be able to effect a corrupted gem

[wanton dawn]

u corrupt a skill gem lets say lvl 15 if it gets plus 1,u upgrade to 20,it will be 21

[tiny sedge]

im 99.99999% its a exploit and will be fixed

[ivory sandal]

It has been known from week one.

[wary oxide]

meaning that we gotta corrupt all our shit before GGG wakes up

[ivory sandal]

And hasnt yet been patched, so it either is something they dont care about or it just isnt a bug.

[wary oxide]

but tbh lvl20 uncut skill is dog cheap anyway, the spirit however is not

[tiny sedge]

and ? GGG is not exactly known for fixing what is being fair a fairly minor exploit

[wanton dawn]

dont think so its a exploit,its intended to be upgreadable

[tiny sedge]

but corrupted stuff is not meant to be changeable

[wanton dawn]

so does rune sockets_

[tiny sedge]

it makes zero sense you can change it with not even a item specific to changing corrupted items at least in poe 1 we had items specifically for that

[tiny sedge]

you could change what gems are socketed in poe 1 so that is consistent

in corrupted gear

[halcyon cave]

It may just be that since the process of upgrading a skill gem involves cutting a new gem, it works differently with corruption

[wanton dawn]

i can ask viper later on

if hes onlibnn

[dusky star]

why would you remotely need to ask anyone

it's intended unless they change it, everyone knows how it works, it makes fine sense to be able to upgrade the level of a corrupt gem

[wanton dawn]

its a controvesial topic

[halcyon cave]

The market isn’t flooded with top tier gems because 1) the odds are pretty bad to hit the +1, and 2) you need to quality + socket first. It’s not that hard to get a 21-able gem for something like Archmage that doesn’t need sockets, but it’s a big investment to spend perfect jewelers orbs every roll.

[wanton dawn]

not as easy as u think it is

[ivory sandal]

Which they will already be aware of.

Its not as if its a new issue or has just recently been found.

[wanton dawn]

my pinion is that,its intended to be that way

but others say its a exploit

[dusky star]

exploit lmao

[tiny sedge]

thats such a bullshit way of looking at it XD

[valid eagle]

when's the next patch

[ivory sandal]

When the developers have new stuff or want to fix something.

[valid eagle]

I meant the event

upcomin event

or is that for poe1

[ivory sandal]

poe1

And no date announced yet.

[valid eagle]

alright

[echo gust]

Had a few questions if I could please - if me and another are on the same map, and I die or leave the map but am still partied , will his map be harder still or is it just when I'm in the instance ? Tia

Also what causes the rares to show in the mini map on maps,.is it time based, or based on how much of the map you have uncovered ? Thanks .

[calm grotto]

should be not changed

[calm grotto]

iirc is when u killed till 100 mob left? either that or explore area

[dusky star]

200 or fewer remaining monsters = rares iirc

[calm grotto]

ah 200 mobs

[echo gust]

Ohh Interesting I had so many theories and amount of enemies killed wasn't one of them lol thanks

[idle hazel]

Yes, 200 or fewer

[mental pendant]

how to go back to kill all of elites in copper citadel?

[echo gust]

So as long as I'm partied with someone no matter if we're in the same instance or not, we're both going to get harder enemies. Is this the case? Thanks!

I understand for exp boost we need to be same instance and close

[finite sequoia]

What is the point of refreshing Dannig's inventory? He seems to offer infinite exchanges to the other three currencies anyway... Does he sometimes offer something else besides currency exchanging?

[zenith sigil]

in poe1 he used to have also some specials aside from the infinite conversion, didnt do enough expedition in poe2 to confirm thats also the case here

[crystal wyvern]

anyone familiar with the invoker monk cast on dodge and the bloodmage cast on dodge builds?

[viral blaze]

how does strenght do vs inteligence if i play stack build
cuz i have enough mana but idk which one to choose now cuz howa benefits from int as well

[tribal jackal]

u need all

if u pick like germling i think u need all

same for monk

u can stack int on deadeye ranger for lots of dmg

[viral blaze]

i play gemlin

soo its best to have int and str the same number?

[tribal jackal]

not really sure

i kinda despise those builds so i try to avoid them

but i think u want int str and dex

with piller of the gods

[merry plume]

how do people have es while having eldritch battery?

[tribal jackal]

ouh

there was a trick for that

damn i forgot it

[merry plume]

ahh

im following a build but cant figure out . iwill try youtube again to see how

[tribal jackal]

was it CI?

shit idk

i forgot sorry

[tribal jackal]

send the build

[merry plume]

i will try skilling ci

[tribal jackal]

wait eldrich doesnt remove ur ES right?

it just lets you use it

as mana

[merry plume]

did they patch it or something

[tribal jackal]

send me the build u follow

[waxen trout]

Everlasting gaze

Unique amulet

It applies after EB

[merry plume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T66e9-ho4ms&t=3396s

im following this build,

[tribal jackal]

yeah

the amulet

[merry plume]

ah

[tribal jackal]

like @waxen trout said

im suprised the build didnt say

[merry plume]

no it did, i think i missed it somehow

sry

[tribal jackal]

np

[silent pond]

my main character is already T15. how do i level my alts in engame with my alts? can't help but feel i'll be wasting nodes 😦

[tribal jackal]

how do you waste them?

if ur talking about atlas maps just go in a different diraction if u have good nodes already set

[silent pond]

cause it seems like i need to use lower tier waystones on nodes for my alts

[tribal jackal]

i dont see the problem

the map is infinite big

[flat plinth]

Does anybody have a spare deadly fate they would give away?

[hexed mango]

Does using the second weapon set let me use the same weapon as my primary, but allocate different skill points?

IE effectively dual specing into ice strike monk and lightning monk without having to refund my whole tree?

[tribal jackal]

you can buy them from the currency exchange

[tribal jackal]

you will seed a second weapon
any weapon should work tho

[flat plinth]

I dont have enough Hence im asking

[tribal jackal]

and when u switch to weapon 2 then thats when the different passive starts working

[tribal jackal]

are u sure u can kill the boss?

[hexed mango]

Ok so I can toss some random weapon into my primary, put the staff in two, and then build my passives?

[tribal jackal]

he is pretty hard

[tribal jackal]

i think so

[flat plinth]

I won't know if i dont try

[hexed mango]

Hell yeah

[tribal jackal]

what build and class are u?

[hexed mango]

Thanks gamer

[flat plinth]

Invoker monk triple ele

[tribal jackal]

better just do a few more chaos runs

u will get more soul cores as well

which u can sell for good amout of ex

chaos runs are one of the best places to farm currency

[tribal jackal]

actually im wrong u dont need a second weapon for weapon sets to work

i was thinking of something else and i got confused

[hexed mango]

So I can just use the same staff?

[tribal jackal]

u dont actually need weapon sets dont you?

u just dont want to respec?

[hexed mango]

I just want to switch from ice strike to lightning but I don’t want to spend the shit ton of gold and i might want to go back

So I was hoping I could dual spec like you can in wow

[tribal jackal]

u can only use 24 points that way

[hexed mango]

Oh balls

[tribal jackal]

for that might be good to just respec

[hexed mango]

Guess I gotta stop gambling on amulets

[tribal jackal]

hehe yeah

sell t13-15 maps

they give good amout of gold per sold

[hexed mango]

Yeah I loot all maps

Will be happy to roll +gold maps now, for the next while lol. Can’t imagine a respect will be cheap @ level 90

[tribal jackal]

around 500k

not that much

[lethal summit]

what da

i just got a div from a rare chest

[hexed mango]

Oh that’s not bad at all

[lethal summit]

ig I need to take these more seriously?

[hexed mango]

I thought million+

[tribal jackal]

nah not really

u can open them ofc but its super rare

[hexed mango]

It doesn’t look like I need to switch all points either. Mainly skill gems

[tribal jackal]

nice

[lethal summit]

Is it similar rates to killing a rare?

[tribal jackal]

dont know the numbers

defo doesnt feel like it

[lethal summit]

Ok ok 👍

[prime scroll]

Anyone know where to find the table for what effect each level of delirium on instilled waystones has?

[tribal jackal]

poe2db can help you find everything

but love

[zealous jolt]

Best map in poe2

[tribal jackal]

u want quant

rarity is good but quant is better

and more packs

ah 69

nice

[zealous jolt]

this map gonna make my dream come true

[bleak urchin]

be sure to join global 69 or 69420 before doing it

[zealous jolt]

4sure

[prime scroll]

This may be, but I can't seem to find this there

[tribal jackal]

i can try to help you but i dont understand your question

[bleak urchin]

probly this https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/pkgeg8/delirium_scaling/
ofc this is poe1 but probly the same

[short sedge]

Any good methods to do burning ground maps on a build that cannot normally do them?
I guess I can equip Infernoclasp + Rise of the Phoenix + 1x puhuarte core = +11% max fire res, lose a bit of damage but maybe manageable
Anything better?
Dousing Charm... I guess is useless here 😑

[tribal jackal]

do u have max fire res?

do you abuse ES?

ES helps a lot with everything

[prime scroll]

Thanks!

[short sedge]

Not by default, currently at 75%
Doesn't ES suffer even more against burning ground? Since it prevents regen
Currently pure MoM + EB

[tribal jackal]

mom and eb have so much combined hp

on my ranger i can almost ignore burning ground at this point

with just 5k ES and 1.5k life

5k with grim ofc

[short sedge]

Ah, grim would help, since it constantly refills ES

[mental pendant]

i cant use trade site now? am i got banned?

[tribal jackal]

what message are you getting

we need more info

[arctic crag]

I heard steam login had issues yesterday

[tribal jackal]

im fine

[arctic crag]

yea works fine for me as well but I use PSN/GGG login

[sullen geyser]

How much t15 harder than t10 map? I finally found my first citadel but I can't enter it

[arctic crag]

Idk how to answer that question, considering a normal rarity map, the monsters are +5 level?

But people usually also juice them, so the difficulty really depends on that.

[sullen geyser]

Eh what's the average difference between them?

I am just not that lucky on getting maps and thinking about using t15 on citadel the moment I get the first one

[arctic crag]

it'll be difficult

People usually use corrupted maps with >500% waystone drop chance on citadels and they are way more difficult

[sullen geyser]

That's a bit too insane for me rn I believe. Do I have to get something like that before going into citadel?

Or just normal maps for first eh playthrough should be fine?

[tribal jackal]

a 500+ waystone map can give u 3 keys per map

u dont have to do that

u can run an easy t15 map and get 1 key

you dont have to do anything you dont want to

[arctic crag]

yeah, just normally progress to T15 maps and try it on a normal node first before directly doing citadel with your first map.

[prime scroll]

eugh

[sullen geyser]

Ok thx

[prime scroll]

currently stuck running in circles around Jamanra because I have partially converted ability costs to life costs, on a map with reduced life recovery rate

[heavy swan]

Hey, i want to search for jewels in the poe trade site, i want to put in all the stats i want and i want the results to show me any combinations from the stats i put in, anyone know how that is done?

[prime scroll]

I'm not dying, but I'm gonna have to wait for ages to actually kill him

[long sonnet]

use the count group

[undone merlin]

Are there any uniques that are especially well suited for a chaos witch?

[wintry aspen]

what does Heroic Tragedy - vorana do

[heavy swan]

it shows me random jewels with stats i dont need, am i doing something wrong?

[wanton dawn]

uhhhhhh

lmao

[viral blaze]

[long sonnet]

you forgot to set the min

[prime scroll]

If you log out to character select during a citadel boss, do you fail the map?

[heavy swan]

i set mins for everything and i still see random jewels

[long sonnet]

the group itself has a min

[cerulean mango]

I hate the fact that I got bored of this game after getting my first lvl 92 slot

[civic nacelle]

how difficult is t0 simulacrum?

galvanic shards build, just want to pass one to unlock the tree

[calm grotto]

wait till u see the prefix suffix is breeding pit

[rustic canyon]

is trialmaster good money? I am thinking about end game bossing, but no idea which one is profitable

[calm grotto]

yes

anything is good money

when rng is on your side

[rustic canyon]

and when rng is not good?

[calm grotto]

nothing is good 😄

how much money is profitable for you

[rustic canyon]

Currently doing ultimatums, which some stable money, like 2 divs for 3-4 hours(which is my play time per day), would love to get like 10 per 4 hours or even more

[calm grotto]

it's all rng

either that

or run ultima faster

if u are lucky

10 ultima can get u like 10 div

[rustic canyon]

sorry calculated wrong, 2 divs for 2 hours, which is 4 ults

[calm grotto]

i got like

the

apa back to back

so yeah rng

i did like 30+

got nothing

but i got 2 apa ytd back to back

so

all about rng

[rustic canyon]

apa?

[calm grotto]

that's like around 3 div

[rustic canyon]

yes, I know

[calm grotto]

yeah

rng

like i said

if u are super unlucky

u cant get much from ultima

[rustic canyon]

I think got like 5-6 from like 60+ ults I did

[calm grotto]

that's the thing

u could be getting it like 2 in a row

or get 1 in 50

[rustic canyon]

I just don't get why people ask 20+ divs for gear

[calm grotto]

well

if u dont want to buy those

make it yourself

see how much you spend on it

then u will know

[rustic canyon]

yes, but I don't know much about crafting in poe 2

[prime wave]

that's why stuff is expensive, because crafting is a pain

[rustic canyon]

I know how currencies work, but no idea what's best to use or about omens

[calm grotto]

go try

and u will learn

slowly

at a cost

of maybe 100 div

😄

[rustic canyon]

I think I spend like 1M gold trying to get good focus, but got only crap, was worth the experience, lesson learned

sometimes I get good base from Ults

well thanks for advice

[calm grotto]

Yeah

So

U need good base

Which is hard to get

And if u are making it yourself u prob want like 100

Or more

[rustic canyon]

tyty

[undone merlin]

can someon show a good example of a good jewel for chaos witch? gonna look to trade for 1 but not sure what kind of stuff is best

[calm grotto]

Curse?

Crit?

Got to tell us your build

[undone merlin]

havent followed any builds as as of yet. actualy only on act 1 crual but looking ahead

[junior hornet]

there could be chaos hit or chaos dot

[undone merlin]

ive been using mostly essence drain, contagion, despair and hexblast

i should go look at som builds i spose. thanks

[blissful egret]

should i div inginuity until 80 its at 75 rn before i corrupt it?

[dusky star]

that would potentially be far too many divs to get a higher roll

[blissful egret]

so just corrupt it and hope for the best?

[junior hornet]

I read somewhere vaal orb would roll (same as divine) the unique item first, then multiply it

If that's true there's no need to div it first

[wintry aspen]

guys what spark build should i follow for end game

[dusky star]

if it chooses that specific outcome

if it chooses the "add a corrupt enchant" outcome then no

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

[junior hornet]

ah I see

[wanton dawn]

all resistance doesnt work on chaos res

thats crazy

[dull plank]

All resistances or all elemental resistances cause those are separate things

[wanton dawn]

i guess all elemental lols so makes sense

[dull plank]

[wanton dawn]

thats so fucking ynnoing bro...

piece of shit chaos resistance

[humble umbra]

where to look for t4 similacrum carry pls?

[blissful egret]

is the very large radius for jewels the biggest you can get

[dusky star]

tft (the forbidden trove discord)

[mint pivot]

Massive is the highest afaik

[blissful egret]

so what size will it be for me to be able to grab these?

[mint pivot]

No clue

[blissful egret]

this is what it says

[mint pivot]

Then yes

[blissful egret]

why would anyone want a variable one though

like isnt just bigger is better

[mint pivot]

No

It's a narrow band

not a circle

it only hits nodes in that band

[blissful egret]

oh i see so to get the ones from that pic it has to be variable

[mint pivot]

Variable just means when it drops it can get from very small to massive

I'm not sure if you can divine the radius though

[wanton dawn]

only whats inside that thicc ass line

[blissful egret]

wait so i have to keep buying variable ones to check if its the right size??

[wanton dawn]

go to maxroll dummy

[mint pivot]

The size will be listed

as long as it's IDed

[blissful egret]

okok im dumb af

you said the size will be listed

[blissful egret]

but the one in this guys slot isnt a 'size'

[mint pivot]

it says the size of that particular jewel right below the variable line

[novel crow]

well something's not right with the new pob, it suddenly calculates my spirit as -60

[blissful egret]

oh xddd

im dumb asf

[wanton dawn]

u kinda are

[blissful egret]

mhmhm

[blissful egret]

damn kinda would like to know this

[final urchin]

can every rare item have 3 prefix and 3 suffix mods or whats the balance here?

[stray geyser]

yes

[final urchin]

so when i try to craft stats breach rings (white base), is it suffix omen mod on alchemy orb and see if i hit some stats the best way to do it?

[opaque saffron]

Where can I find the number of stacks that the Ghost Dance gem has, per level? Does it ever get 6 stacks, and if so then at which level?
I can find this information nowhere on the wiki or on poedb.

[final urchin]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Ghost_Dance

[opaque saffron]

Did you read my message?

it does say ghost dance max stacks [3,5], but it also claims that quality has an effect, which is outright wrong, I personally tested it, so I don't trust it.

but I do wonder whether anyone has ever seen anyone having 6 stacks

or if anyone has ever seen anyone at gem level of like 22-24 and still having 5 stacks

[final urchin]

oh yea would expect it there mb

[full ore]

Hey guys, L83 ice strike invoker here, looking to swap to stat stacker, 42 div budget. Anyone made a similar swap that can recommend a good midrange build? Super overwhelmed between all the different options

Also wondering if I should do the ice strike version (which i already have built around) or use tempest

[marble beacon]

pillar, howa, three dragon or black sun crest helm and just stat stack on everything else

gonna take like 5divs to get started

[full ore]

awesome, i have all those things lol

[marble beacon]

ice strike vs tempest is really just a preference

you pick between being bit more fast but getting stuck to everything or having more aoe around you while also being hyper mobile due to short and longer range dashes

[dusky star]

as a tempest flurry gemling abuser: tempest flurry is extremely satisfying
although I imagine solving the mana issue is easier on gemling compared to invoker

with the -30% cost node

[full ore]

do you guys find single target dmg is decent? like for pinnacles and stuff?

I mean super obvious its great for mapping quickly

[marble beacon]

Depending on choices on the tree, you will end up killing +4 pinnacle bosses in either 1sec or 1.5 secs

[final urchin]

for 40 div equip on stat stacker, u will have decent single dps

[full ore]

hmm 1.5s seems like a REALLY long time lol

[dusky star]

stat stacking is broken, you get great DPS, you can always use 2 bells for single target if you want

[full ore]

ok so (and yes i know I'm asking for handholding but if i fuck this up i may brick myself), where should i focus those 40 div? the morior + ingenuity?

[marble beacon]

solid choices

ingenuity + 2 absolutely megamind tier rings is kinda broken af

[full ore]

and ingenuity looks like some combo of stats, all res, rarity, get as many sockets as i can afford?

[marble beacon]

if you can get maxrolled corrupted ingenuity, you will basically have 3.9 rings equipped

[dusky star]

great advice for a 40 div budget

[dusky star]

by ingenuity do you mean morior

ingenuity is the belt, morior is the chest

[full ore]

right yeah i meant ingenuity AND morior with the combo of etc

[proper hazel]

a nice ingenuity with good corrupt will run prob 30div alone depending on preference, no idea on morior as I have never bothered with one

[full ore]

how important is the corrupt on pillar? like it looks like i want IAS?

[dusky star]

I used 5 socket att + x (I did rarity), you can't afford att + ele res

you can just do 3 socket pillar, cheaper

is there a good guide for invoker stat stacker? gemling have fubgun, his guide is pretty perfect (except high budget so gotta make slight adjustments)

[full ore]

word, ty. I think i just need to buy the shit, try it out, tweak from there. just didnt want to make some major fuckup and be out my savings

[marble beacon]

you can always just spend like 10div and get starter (shit roll) variants of the uniques

and then upgrade as you go

[proper hazel]

stat stackin is fairly straight forward no matter the build, maybe slight adjustments towards certain specific attributes but nothing major I would think

[dusky star]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/fubgun-attribute-stacker
for gemling budget you do:
att + x morior (can't afford att + ele res), no spectrums
2 socket howa + 2 socket atziri (so you get more sockets for ele res)
30+ spirit on amulet (not needed for invoker) with resists/attributes, mass resists on boots, mass attributes/flat dmg/rarity/etc. on rings

but I don't think invoker has a good guide like that?

so you'd have to adjust to your needs

[merry plume]

do i regen more mana if i have higher mana pool?

like is it scaled to max mana?

oh. its 4% of max mana

[amber helm]

yeah

[blissful egret]

how do i search for intel on jewels like the one in the pic

[quasi shell]

enchant intel

[blissful egret]

legend

[finite sequoia]

Am I correct that all base types can roll all possible mods for that type of item as long as it's ilvl 82? e.g., ilvl 82 Straw Sandals (required level 1) can roll 35% movespeed and +149 max life?

[quasi shell]

yep

but it will change the required level

35% movespeed will increase level requirement

[wanton dawn]

mods get him

hes begging

people are killing themself for exp books shieeet

[lethal summit]

i should swap, right?

assume resistances are capped regardless, and mana regen is not a huge problem

[frigid minnow]

does anyone know how to figure out my presence area? where can i find that info

[long sonnet]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Distance#"In_your_presence"

[empty phoenix]

can you change servers mid-waystone? lagging all of a sudden

[slate solar]

Aside from Increased Quant and rarity of items, what are the best Waystone modifiers to look for?

[lethal summit]

how is it possible that when I make this switch, after putting a soul core of zalatl in the new focus, I have less mana?!

ah yes.... eldritch battery isn't it?

smh game so complicated

[final urchin]

thats poe I ... default presence is 6m radius not 8

[compact acorn]

is this good for a LA deadeye, doing tier 5 maps now

this is my current piece

[dusky star]

no, stick to evasion/ES bases like you have

[compact acorn]

ok ty

[dusky star]

you can add atziri's disdain unique helmet if you want more ES, quite strong (obviously use grim feast spirit gem if you do, or just do anyway)

[ornate lark]

how hard is the boss where you need the three fragments for compered to citadel bosses/ trialmaster / trial of sekehmas final boss

[jovial kite]

avoid the one shot mechanic and youre GG

[mint pivot]

Quite a bit harder if you don't know the mechanics

[ornate lark]

if i die to i lose my fragments?

[mint pivot]

but as far as tankiness not harder rly

You get 6 attempts on difficulty 0

so if you die 6 times yeah

[compact acorn]

i dont have either of those. what is a grim feast gem and how do i get it?

oh just a spirit skill?

[long sonnet]

yes

[jovial kite]

Hi all, im using this atm. How do i know if im getting a good upgrade

[ornate lark]

and if i play with a friend we are aloowed to die 3 times as a tema or still 6 times

[jovial kite]

FOr example,

[mint pivot]

I think still 6, the party leader initiates the retry, but I don't know for sure don't play co-op

[compact acorn]

oh wow ok my bow is actual ass wtf

[jovial kite]

the one im using was actually not that very expensive

just filter for max 1 or 2 div

[dusky star]

fubguns LA deadeye guide is quite good btw

[jovial kite]

it is

[ornate lark]

do i need anything else than the fragments?

[mint pivot]

No

[compact acorn]

thats what im following, im just a noob

[jovial kite]

same lol

[dusky star]

all good

you learn as you go!

[mint pivot]

Are you lightning arrow Vtt?

[jovial kite]

i got very luck on good boots and got myself 40 divine

yea fubguns

im looking to get more cold dmg

[compact acorn]

i was a d4 player before, so its slightly more complex now 😂

[jovial kite]

i notice im not proccing herald of frost as much as id like to

[full ore]

hey guys, anyone following this invoker stat stackguide? I can't figure out why he took Dance with Death? Shouldnt quarterstaff not apply?

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/fx2m50nr

[compact acorn]

okay so i have 100 spirit, im running HoT, HoI and wind dancer currently

do i replace herald of ice with grim feast?

[jovial kite]

no

you should add that as a bonus

[compact acorn]

doesnt fit, need 120 spirit i only have 100 atm

[dusky star]

looks like a mistake

[jovial kite]

you could try a cheap amu or chest with some good spirit

i found a pretty bad chest with 50 spirit

[compact acorn]

my amulet sucks ass so that could be easily replaced

okay so thats what im hunting for

i have 3 divs, should i sell those for exalts and buy one?

[jovial kite]

or get an amu with that spirit

[compact acorn]

how

you can get amulets with spirits?

[jovial kite]

there is an amu base that gives spirit

so its easier to get your +50

but try to go for atleast herald of ice

[compact acorn]

oh i see

[slender tusk]

is poe2 dead?

[jovial kite]

yes

[compact acorn]

i have a magic amulet with 12 spirit

how about i vaal it and hope for the best

[mint pivot]

Well that new bow has 115 more DPS than your old one, every skill level for lightning arrow is about 5% damage so it's more like 90-100 more DPS

but it saves you mana

Path of Building should let you put items in to get the exact numbers without doing napkin math

[jovial kite]

yea

thanks 🙂

[lethal summit]

a divine orb cannot alter the tiers of the affixes right? only roll inside them?

[mint pivot]

it just rerolls the affix within the same tier, yeah

[lethal summit]

ok ok

[novel crow]

anyone know what the success rate of +1 lvl to gems is with corruption?

I know it's low, but that's all

[mint pivot]

assuming all things are equal 1/7, but we don't really know

[novel crow]

I guess it wouldn't be that expensive to experiment on a low level gem just to see the odds

[undone merlin]

is the freythorn mist guy mostly chaos damage?

[mint pivot]

Yeah be the guy who vaals 5000 gems and makes a spreadsheet

for the culture

[mint pivot]

yes

chaos/phys

[novel crow]

Happy to if someone donates 5000 vaal

[undone merlin]

ok thx

[dusky star]

isn't it 1/8

[compact acorn]

is +20 spirit on an amulet possible? cant find anything on trade site

[dusky star]

25/25/25/25 (and half of one of the 25s)

[novel crow]

not on the implicit, but with the implicit and a +50 mod, you can get 65 total

[compact acorn]

how would one try to search for that in trade?

[novel crow]

Try this

[compact acorn]

perfect ty

man y'all are amazing in this server, really appreciate all the help

[mint pivot]

+/- level +/- socket +/- quality or nothing, right? Is nothing double the likelihood?

[dusky star]

yee nothing should still be 25%

[novel crow]

this is true

so 12.5% chance

assuming equal chance, which may well be the case

ok ty

[mint pivot]

Hm, I see

[craggy cosmos]

Hey can anyone help me? I'm playing poisonous concoction and I'm running out of flasks too quickly. How do I increase my max mana flask?

[novel crow]

There are 2988 corrupt spark gems lvl19+ for sale, and 120 that are lvl21, that's 4% of the total, BUT there's a good chance anyone getting lvl21 is keeping them

so it's likely over 4%, and 12.5 may be possible

somewhere 4< value <= 12.5

hrm

120ex for a lv20 uncut

so if that's right it should average under 4divs for 12.5%

[dusky star]

uh

[novel crow]

worst case scenario it really is 4% then it's 10d average

assuming you don't need 5 slots

[dusky star]

you can upgrade level after getting +1, you can't add sockets after corrupt

[novel crow]

a cast-on gem doesn't need 5 sockets

that's what I'm investigating

[dusky star]

yeah, just uhh, don't use level 20 pre-corrupt

you can just level 20 after a succesful +1

[novel crow]

no you can't

[dusky star]

yes. you. can.

[novel crow]

oh shite, that's awesome

off to work I go

thanks

[dusky star]

quality + sockets pre-corrupt, gem level you can do after

all good

[novel crow]

no need for quality on the one I want either, as cast speed is ignored

got it in 2 lol

now let's see about that level up you said

[dusky star]

equip it ofc

[novel crow]

holy shit it worked

tried 10 people before anyone would sell me an XX lol

so that cost me almost nothing, and here I was looking for a 21 cold snap that doesn't exist

happy it worked!

here's hoping it doesn't smash my mana too much, it's now lv28

Hi, can I have a more general progression advice? I have managed to do a T15 Boss/Irradiated map, but it was slow and dangerous. Now I'm not sure how to progress. Any upgrade in equipment that I can see would cost hundreds of exalts, if not start measuring in divines, and I don't know if what I have to sell is actually worth anything. I'm not sure if I can start attempting citadels or seek any superbosses out. Any form of progressing from here seems like it'd require a lot of investment that I'm not sure I can make or is worth to make.

absolutely shredding now

finding a good currency strat that you enjoy doing can be a good idea - trials of chaos are very low entry (they're what like 1-2ex each) and fairly decent income
if your build is good for them, breach can be amazing, but requires a fast build with strong clear

https://www.youtube.com/@lupi2067/videos makes fairly approachable videos about currency strats, as does https://www.youtube.com/@PathofEvening/videos iirc

Anyone know how much Trialmaster's Weakness damage taken debuff is?
Searching the name doesn't return much on google (or here), and poe2db doesn't have magnitude either https://poe2db.tw/us/Trialmasters_Weakness

[small estuary]

I think my build is stronger if I can tell from which side enemies are coming, if they are coming from every side arsonists get distracted and hellhound isn't applying exposure.

[dusky star]

yeah, minions are not known for their breach killing

[small estuary]

Expedition?

[dusky star]

perfectly viable, as is chaos trials like I said, and various other things

even if you aren't confident doing your citadels yet, you can still clear up to them (and towers around them to juice waystone% eventually) if you like

to set them up for later

[tropic pebble]

So what is the survival mechanism of an invoker monk? I feel like i get 2 shotted in maps, if I dont insta kill something

[dusky star]

massive amount of ES, coupled with grim feast doubling it

and huge screen clear with HoI (+ HoT)

[tropic pebble]

ES from?

I'm using atzari's disdain, should i get the amy too?

only have 800

[small estuary]

I'll watch them, ty.
Is just doing boss maps one of the viable strats btw? Also how do I get a feel for pricing loot to sell? I can vaguely tell if something is worth keeping, like +5 gem level staves, but have absolutely no idea what how to price it well.

[dusky star]

exiled exchange is an amazing tool if you aren't using it yet, but a lot of it is simply experience

like +5 lightning wands on their own are amazing, but even more so if it also has cast speed and some high spelldmg/mana rolls

[small estuary]

I tried Sidekick but it didn't work very well. Will try this, thanks.

[dusky star]

the more you learn about other builds, the better you know what they want

exiled exchange is based on the most popular tool in poe1, should be pretty solid

also fine to use pre-priced dump tabs while learning

[small estuary]

I know basically nothing about non-minion builds

Got some work cut out for me, huh

[dusky star]

for example, LA deadeyes: high DPS bows, phys in particular (but also high flat ele rolls, and ele dmg with attacks), high evasion/ES chests (so +evasion/ES prefixeS) with other great rolls (life/res/etc.), quivers with +2 proj levels and stuff like %dmg or %proj speed or high flat dmg rolls

yeah, but you get it bit by bit

[small estuary]

Do attacking builds care about gem levels as much as spell/minion builds?

[dusky star]

they're still quite good, but not quite as valuable as for caster/minion

but if you've done other means of scaling, they become great

[mint pivot]

The most popular builds are spark/stat stacker, so keep an eye out for gear they use. +lightning level wands, high attribute jewellery (Especially breach rings.) High resist/ES/Evasion/mana on ES or ES/Evasion hybrid pieces.

[dusky star]

and there are the totem builds making some +melee hammers really expensive iirc

[mint pivot]

And then minions/lightning arrow is fairly popular too

[mortal kestrel]

is multiplayer HP scaling applied retroactively?

[mint pivot]

Totems literally only care about the +7 and nothing else besides maybe strength or reduced attribute req.

• level maces with good DPS are basically for HoTG swaps

[mortal kestrel]

just want to know if I can clear the first part of twisted domain, invite some dudes to increase HP of xesht, and then kill him.

[small estuary]

+7?

[dusky star]

2h gets +7 ye

[mint pivot]

ilvl 81+ 2 handed weapons can get +7 levels yeah

[dusky star]

they use the thingy to use 2x 2h

bonk

[small estuary]

That includes staves or it's only martial weapons?

[mint pivot]

also staves

[small estuary]

Just curious, can you do that 2x 2h thing with staves and have +14 on spark?

[mint pivot]

No

Giant's blood is only for maces right now

[frigid lantern]

For trading is the protocol to whisper from the site, wait for invite, and tp to their hideout or wait for them to come to you?

[mint pivot]

You go to them

let them initiate the trade

[frigid lantern]

ok

what happens when you go there and they kick you from party before trade

is that because they usually do not have it anymore?

[dusky star]

maybe they got more whispers and decided to be a dick and not sell it after all - or they just joined another party and still want to trade, sometimes they do even if you're not in party still

[mint pivot]

They can still trade if you aren't in party. If they don't they either changed their mind or realized they sold it already or something.

[dusky star]

but usually it's because they changed their mind and they're dumb

[frigid lantern]

ah ok ty ty

kind of fun trading but also kind of cancer

[dusky star]

heh
