[versed jacinth]

I am really struggling with end game 😦 Im trying to upgrade my gear but everything on the shop is 40+ divs..

Ive literally only seen 1 divine orb drop so far?

Im using armor/evasion gear which i know is not the best, but i figured if i can find some god tier gear it should increase my survivability?

I just cant afford said gear and dont know how to farm divines any faster 😦

[amber helm]

let's see your gear

[versed jacinth]

any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! @versed jacinth is my ign 🙂

Ok 1 sec

[finite sequoia]

Can all time-lost jewels be of any radius? It's just RNG what radius you get?

[amber helm]

there's explicits that upgrade the radius

[finite sequoia]

So without those it'll always be small?

[amber helm]

yeah

[amber helm]

whats up with the bow and crossbow

[amber helm]

terrible ring

[amber helm]

terrible (if you're using it)

[versed jacinth]

I’m using a fire/ rapid fire build mostly using crossbow- but I have a few bow skills that I sometimes use too? It’s mostly just to play around with 🤷🏻‍♂️

[amber helm]

do you have crossbow nodes on the tree?

[versed jacinth]

Lol yes I’m using both those rings 😭

[amber helm]

neither ring is very impressive at all

[amber helm]

let's see if we can get you a crossbow upgrade

[versed jacinth]

Honestly I thought my rings and amulet and crossbow were my best gear 😭

[amber helm]

current dps: (129+352+2+33)/2*1.55

or 400

[amber helm]

budget for new crossbow?

[mortal kestrel]

jeez that pathing needs work. A lot of work.

[versed jacinth]

I have 1 div to my name 😭

[amber helm]

good

[mortal kestrel]

the triangle with only 1 notable is the most egregious

[amber helm]

your bow is 463 dps with the +6 accounted for at 5% per level

[versed jacinth]

+12% elemental damage per node

[amber helm]

do you use grenades?

[versed jacinth]

No just rapid fire

[mortal kestrel]

Notables give the most damage increase, not small passive skills.
Those small passive skills used for each node can help you reach more notables which gives you way more damage

[drowsy whale]

anyone have a widowhail and for how much ?

[mortal kestrel]

grabbing all small notables in a cluster only matters for specific stats.

[amber helm]

no trading here use the website

[amber helm]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/e3k7QvWcL

[mortal kestrel]

this applies to every almost every cluster that you have spec'd unnecessary amounts of small passive skills in

[amber helm]

sort by dps and go to the fourth listing

651 dps with + levels accounted for

50% more dps

curiously they have the atkspd runes socketed

[mortal kestrel]

aspd usually gives the highest tooltip DPS increase

If it doesn't have high added phys

[young hazel]

Is there no good way to get quantity tablets if urs don’t roll good

Are u forced to spend currency

[mint pivot]

you can reforge tablets 3 to 1

otherwise buy them yes

[young hazel]

So like get 3 bad ones and reforge

Or

How that work

[mint pivot]

yes

[young hazel]

Aight

[mint pivot]

3 of the same type

[viral stratus]

reforge is great for many things, learn to use that part of the game mechanic

[young hazel]

What tablets should I consider “trash”

Anything without quant

Or rarity

[viral stratus]

pretty much

unless you're looking for something specific, like you actually want exp or something

otherwise, quant

[young hazel]

Aight

[mint pivot]

unless it's ritual tablets

[young hazel]

Wdym by the same type

[mint pivot]

they want pack size/rerolls

[young hazel]

Like how do I know if they’re diffrent

They all got crazy names

[mint pivot]

like3 breach tablets

3 precursor tablets

3 expedition tablets

[young hazel]

Ye I got 3 precursor but it won’t take

[mint pivot]

same rarity?

[young hazel]

Teeming precursor tablet of strongboxes,elevated overseer precursor tablet of treasure,elevated precursor tablet of the cartographer

And ye

All blue

[mint pivot]

it can't be an overseer tablet

[young hazel]

Ah

[mint pivot]

has to be all precursor irradiated

or all oversrr

they're separate tablets

[young hazel]

Gotcha

Ima see if I can find all the diffrent kinds

On YouTube or sum

[mint pivot]

there are only 6

[mint pivot]

it's just overseer/breach/expedition/ritual/delirium/precursor(normal)

[young hazel]

Gotcha

[proper tartan]

turned out nobody wanted to buy them even at 5 div or 10 div

so I'm just keeping them 😛

[mortal kestrel]

higher priced items take a long time to sell

[proper tartan]

yeah, I sold my first 1 div item today

[mortal kestrel]

I mean ones above 10d usually take some time

[proper tartan]

I just found my first "Expedition Logbook" is that high in demand?

[amber helm]

depends on ilvl

[proper tartan]

80

[amber helm]

good thats a lot

needs to be 79+ for it to be able to have bosses

market is dead and weird but 200ex minimum

[proper tartan]

yeah, I see online offers

I mean on the trade site

[frigid lantern]

How to avoid this attack?

[viral stratus]

Kill boss really fast, I die to that stuff too. I haven't figured out the boss tell for certain attacks. I'm not sure other people really know either. I've watched vids, mostly it's just kill fast and avoid boss mechanics. I haven't seen a single video that explains boss mechanics. Not well at least.

[mint pivot]

Just run don't roll

[quiet merlin]

Surprizing how many attacks are better to run out of 😂

[mint pivot]

Roll has no advantage over running other than the startup speed

except for like proj/strikes

[mighty plume]

heyooo, just wanted to know if its fine to ask here for some bug help?

[mint pivot]

Yes

no promises the solution will be known

[bronze garden]

anyone know what I should be looking for on gear as a lvl 70 invoker?

like in terms of evasion rating and substats?

[quiet merlin]

Depends how much div u got

[bronze garden]

uh

0 💀

[quiet merlin]

Are u trying to stat stacker?

[bronze garden]

im new to the game i got no clue what that means sorry

[amber helm]

just get res life eva es as much as you can of all of that

[quiet merlin]

I'll dm u my gear and stuff

[bronze garden]

ty

[mighty plume]

gotcha gotcha

just needed to like know if anyone else had this bug? cant do endgame content for some reason even though ive completed all quests

i think it happened cuz i crashed while fighting act3 cruel doryani, but im not sure

[mint pivot]

Did you ever kill him?

like dced came back then killed him and now it's bugged?

[mighty plume]

Yeah, like game crashed, when I logged back in I was still fighting him, then I killed him

[mint pivot]

Do you currently have any quests?

[mighty plume]

None, all are completed from act 1 to act 3 cruel

I even had to backtrack to see if the act 1 freythorn one was causing it, but when I completed it it was still the same

[mint pivot]

What happened after the fight?

[mighty plume]

Everything proceeded as normal, like it even let me talk to doryani to get my 1st waystone for the chracter

[mint pivot]

have you ran a map?

[mighty plume]

And when I tried using it, BAM, couldnt run it

[mighty plume]

Ive already had 2 other characters run maps, its only the gemling for some reason thats got this bug

[mint pivot]

Oh hey I found your forum post

Yeah I'm seeing some similar reports but no solutions really

[mighty plume]

Oof 😔 well it was a good try at least, hopefully theres a solution for it soon cuz I really liked playing my gemling

[mint pivot]

Someone said they logged in the next day and it worked but their campaign map was bugged

so idk

try later, otherwise I see no solutions for this particular scenario, or others that had it triggered via DC.

[mighty plume]

Guess ill just have to wait and see then, not much else I can do till then

Ty for the help btw!!

[undone seal]

WTB Ascendency carry. 1 div.

[quasi shell]

ill carry if you still need

[undone seal]

Yes pls 🙂 Ill dm you

[quasi shell]

gizmoooooooo

is my ign

[undone seal]

mine is kaiyne_

WTB Ascendency carry. 1 div.

[proud gorge]

I'm a sorc with my ES converted to Mana, and when I select a passive with % increase max ES, it's giving me no extra mana. Like it's converting my ES and then % the zero. What am I missing?

[mint pivot]

Read the convert keyword

[proud gorge]

Tried to post to Church of Stormweaver in the build section and got a weird Discord error. So I'm here.

brb. 🙂

ok. So that's perfectly reasonable, but why am I seeing builds by maxroll staff that are heavily invested in % increased max ES while simultaniously using Eldritch Battery? That seems pointless. Overlook on their part?

[mint pivot]

Do they have everlasting gaze?

[proud gorge]

that is one of the gear options. Not seeing how that plays in here though.

[mint pivot]

it takes some of the mana and adds it back as es

which can then be scaled

[proud gorge]

ahhhh, ok. That makes more sense.

Thank you sir once again for your help.

[mint pivot]

o7

[proud gorge]

Afterthought. What's the rule for which things happen before and which are after Eldritch Battery takes effect?

nm. looks like there's a ton of discussion when searching for everlasting gaze & eldritch battery together. off to read...

[frigid lantern]

can i get some price help on this?

[quiet merlin]

Look it.up on trade site

[royal orchid]

if I do king of the mists on difficulty 3, how many ports do i get?

[quiet merlin]

Should say in tree I believe

[small rune]

is there something I can do to bait the arm slams from xesht to be in less messy places

[small rune]

I mean where the portals spawn

[sudden drift]

I thought you arm slams just spawn where you are

[small rune]

I've no clue

I was standing where he does his whole pre fight speech thing and they all spawned on eachother

just gonna assume that I should circle the arena so they don't clump up into a instadeath shotgun

[nimble frigate]

I get points for ritual only by doing the king right?

[sudden drift]

This was my assumption too

[scenic aurora]

when is current league ending?

[small rune]

about a month

[zenith sigil]

poe1 or poe2 ?

[scenic aurora]

poe2

[zenith sigil]

in ¯_(ツ)_/¯

there arent leagues as we know it planned for poe2

[scenic aurora]

oo so like there hasnt been a stash reset yet?

[zenith sigil]

there may or may not be an economy reset when they push a big content patch, but at the last interview i've seen they havent decided yet what they will do

but leagues as you know them from poe1 wont happen until full release

[scenic aurora]

oo i was confused whether i should start playing poe 2 rn or not
if the current league(or whatever) is not ending then i might start

[dusky star]

this is honestly such a weird statement to make

where have you seen that said?

they specifically said in the FAQ:

Will there be wipes during Early Access?
No, there will not be a wipe. We will do new leagues but none of your characters will be wiped, they will just go to a league called Early Access (so they will never be in Standard). In some cases characters in old leagues might be somewhat broken by balance changes though. After launch the "Early Access" characters will still exist.

[zenith sigil]

pretty sure it was talked about in some of the q&as

[dusky star]

I think you'd want to find that and confirm it before you say it

[zenith sigil]

fair

[dusky star]

because everyone pretty much assumes there will be a league for 0.2

[zenith sigil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAz85ZwUMko&t=837s
so yeah sorta leagues, but the way he says it seems to me its still not like a full content poe1 like league, just a kind of reset cos big content patch

[hidden helm]

I haven't checked if theres like a "chaos exposure" support gem but got into my mind just now. Does it exist?

[main egret]

How do i access locations like this ( Locations outside of the map path) ? When i put a waystone a portal doesnt open.

[idle hazel]

You don't access the Reliquary Vault and Realmgate with regular waystones. For the Reliquary, you'd use a key that I don't believe currently drops - anyone that purchased the highest tier supporter pack gets to select the items that will come from the Reliquary - and the Realmgate is for stuff like Breachstones and Audience with the King.

[main egret]

Oh okay, thanks

[halcyon sigil]

is 3 the max number a modifiers a node can have?

[idle hazel]

No, it can have more.

[halcyon sigil]

ok ty

[halcyon cave]

Wither is the closest we have

[hidden helm]

I see

[halcyon cave]

Exposure is associated with Elemental Damage

[hidden helm]

Hop into dms rq i got an idea

[forest umbra]

I have seen a node with 7 modifiers (highest amount so far)

[loud delta]

can someone please help me out with the campaign?

[nimble fern]

What do you need?

[loud delta]

struggling with acts

[nimble fern]

Anyone know why a citadel would be labeled as map failed if I killed the boss?

[junior hornet]

iron citadel? thats a known bug

[forest umbra]

You either didn't kill all the rares or it just happends sometimes

It doesn't matter really as long as you get the fragment

[nimble fern]

Ah ok. Thanks

Yeah it was iron

[deft pecan]

So to my understanding you only get one shot for a map even do there are several portals open

[idle hazel]

You can use the portals to leave and enter the map again, or enter with a party. However, if you die, the map closes - and if you're there with a party, I believe any player that dies is unable to come back in.

[deft pecan]

Alright thanks 😃 That make sense hat you can just teleport out and take anyone of those portals left to get back in

[royal orchid]

could someone explain the hp / honour thing? my friend couldnt join when i was trying to help him on floor 4. I had 10800/16000 honour

[junior hornet]

when your friend joins they will lose the amount of honour that you have lost

[royal orchid]

i see

my friend is only lvl 25

so how much honour would i need to have

[junior hornet]

you need to keep full or close to full

[royal orchid]

what is their honour by default?

[junior hornet]

hp + energy shield

[royal orchid]

i see

so if they had 1000 total es + life

id need to have 15000/16000 honour for htem to enter

[junior hornet]

you might have something that increase your maximum honour by %, I think that would apply to them too

so your friend joins and they will have their honour increased, and then lose the amount that you have lost

[finite sequoia]

Slows caused by monsters in this way won't last the entire trial, right? I understand the affliction lasts the whole trial, of course

[junior hornet]

yeah usually debuffs have a duration

[finite sequoia]

I figured, I just wanted to make sure this wasn't a weird exception. Some afflictions can be pretty run-ending, so I wouldn't put it past them

[junior hornet]

you can be the one to confirm it

I run trials with 95% evasion I don't get hit ever so I just take that affliction blindly

[compact acorn]

okay so i know this is a dumb question probably, but when do t16 waystones start dropping?

im flying through 15s currently and i have yet to see a single t16 maps

[idle hazel]

They don't drop naturally, you need to corrupt a T15.

[compact acorn]

vaal that shit?

[idle hazel]

Yes, use a Vaal Orb on a T15, one of the possible outcomes is upgrading to T16.

[compact acorn]

i vaaled three of them and got two 16s, nice

tyty

[proper tartan]

i have this "Omen of Amelioration" , but it only works once, right? and only when I activate it? So basically activate it when you do either a very difficult map or maybe before a final boss or something?

[proper tartan]

I've got a related question: do the vaals change the difficulties on the waystone? I have a few that are just ridiculously difficult, and I wish I could just randomize them to make them easier?

[dusky star]

the lower xp loss omen? just have it activated in your inventory constantly, why not?

[proper tartan]

I thought because it's gone after 1 use

[dusky star]

it's only gone when used, and that's when you die

[proper tartan]

but you're right that's backwards logic on me

[dusky star]

it doesn't disappear when you activate it

[proper tartan]

but you can only use it once, after you died right?

[dusky star]

no

it only does anything if activated

you activate it, keep it inventory forever, if you die, it prevents some xp loss (and is consumed)

[proper tartan]

yeah, but then it's "consumed" right?

[dusky star]

yes...only on death

[proper tartan]

ok

got it

sorry, it's something I just heard about yesterday night

[dusky star]

maybe it was related to how you can only consume one battle omen per map

[proper tartan]

yeah

[dusky star]

so it makes no sense to use the "25% life restore life" omen together with amelio because it will only ever use one

[proper tartan]

oh, didn't even know of the other omen, lol

[whole vine]

how can I tell if my heralds are chaining using shattering concoction?

[vague valve]

does the trial of chaos bloke drop any goodies or should i just sell the fragment things for exalts since they all go for like 250+ rn

[acoustic bane]

https://poe2db.tw/us/The_Trialmaster#TheTrialmasterUnique

[vague valve]

so basically unless im lucky enough to get the adorned diamond its pointless

[blazing bronze]

The adorned diamond is really nice

[vague valve]

assuming it has a low drop rate tho

id be able to buy one if i sell like 3 of those fate things the last boss drops

[blazing bronze]

Well it gets really expensive if you get a good roll(50+ish

It's a really strong jewel

[vague valve]

i mean it is tempting but im beyond broke rn and im finally running t16+ maps for the first time so i wanna be able to upgrade gear (prioritizing 12% pillar of the caged god or a better ingenuity belt)

one i got now i grabbed for 60 exalts and its 48% but i want to aim for 65%+ if possible

but thats like 2+ divs if im lucky

[blazing bronze]

Yeah i wouldn't do the trial master if you need money

[vague valve]

good thing is that ive got a bunch of the trial tokens so i can sell some fates or whatever theyre called and use a few

technically a win win?

[dark portal]

i just beat xesht difficulty 3 as he transitioned to phase 2 (as soon as he was done transitioning) would it be a good idea to run his difficulty 4 right now or should i work on improving my damage a bit more? (ice strike invoker)
basically, i want to know if the difficulty/hp scaling would cause much of an issue if i killed him as he was transitioning to phase 2

[dusky star]

well, with d3 you maxed the breach tree - you can do d4 for fun, the loot is not spectacular usually

I'd do it just because it's fun

[dark portal]

true

is the loot not worth buying the breachstone?

i am incredibly starved for raw currency right now

i have something that can sell for ~7div but other than that im sitting at a networth of 300 exalts

[dusky star]

nah, howa is cheap as hell, controlled meta is low % and eh usually, you get some breach rings and all

[ionic rover]

Did they nerf soul of the brine king?

The upgrade doesn't read 100% chance to avoid being frozen anymore

But the wiki doesn't show a version change

[dusky star]

you're in poe2 chat ;c

[ionic rover]

Oop sorry

Misclick

[dusky star]

all good

[ionic rover]

Carry on💜

[dim shoal]

please help i tried capturing it with a screenshot but the latency spikes extremly high to even 400 and i cant play it just looks fine for a sec but then jumps

[dark portal]

alright, thank you so much

[proper tartan]

I think I have found a buggy map where I can't get into the region where the last monster is:

I've run around that whole section multiple times and nothing

no levers either...

how can I "abandon a map" just do the town portals 6 times?

EDIT: I found a hidden door in the end, but it was tiny... but in case I do get stuck, is taking the town portals ok for abandoning the map?

[marble beacon]

you can just yeet in a new map

[vague valve]

lucky ingenuity flip got me from 80 exalts to 6 divs but wtf can i buy with 6 divs that will give me a big boost if im already handling the endgame with little to no trouble? (ice strike monk)

[slender brook]

Killing pinnacle bosses easily?

[vague valve]

havent fought a single one yet

so many maps and i havent found a single citadel either

worried the bosses there might be rough so more dmg might be nice, doing 130k dps with ice strike and i have 80% in all my resistences with chaos immunity

[slender brook]

Citadel bosses are campaign final bosses, they aren't too hard but idk about you, it depends what waystone do u put in, you. Drop fragments from them, amount of fragments depends on waystone % drop

[vague valve]

ill try using my breachstone rn and see how i hold up ig

no point in waiting

[slender brook]

Also resists aren't everything, they're important but evasion and/or energy shield is important too

[slender brook]

He will have around 6m hp

[vague valve]

i 100% need more energy shield i have 2222 rn and 72% evasion rating

body piece is the morior invictus or whatever its calle with 10% rarity per soul core and 11% resistence per soul core

so es could be greatly improved at the cost of losing some res which could be worth it?

[slender brook]

Idk if that morior is even good for you tbh

Keep in mind jewels exist too 👍

[vague valve]

yeah my jewels are pretty good so far

zesty fella wasnt too hard to kill

but he dropped a whole lotta nothing

[trail dove]

is there actually a date announced for 0.2.0 now? All I see is speculation, lol

[remote hinge]

is there anything to consider when buying a corrupted morior invictus bodyarmor? am I good as long as its got 4 scokets and increase to the stuff I want?

[slender brook]

Quality, I wouldn't buy one without quality

Also be aware of swap scammers

[remote hinge]

thank you

[slender brook]

Take your time checking whatever they're selling, stats could be lower or regalia could be completly diff

[main egret]

How much spirit should i have from the campaign alone ?

[latent wolf]

100

[latent wolf]

there is not a firm date yet, the latest statement is from the beginning of the 0.2 teaser season, e.g. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3726160

We expect 0.2.0 to be released in approximately one month from this post.

[main egret]

Is there a website where i can find the places that lead me towards it. Im finished and i only got 30. And i didnt even skip any content

[trail dove]

thank you

[idle hazel]

Act 1, Freythorn, Act 3, Azak Bog and Act 3 Cruel, Azak Bog

[latent wolf]

the wiki is usually a pretty good bet. in this case, https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Spirit#Quest_Items

[main egret]

Thanks

[idle hazel]

And good morning, Viper!

[lethal summit]

is maelstrom rly only 1 div? or a lot of price fixing?

[idle crown]

With the risk of an economy reset looming, I'd say 1 div is pretty justified.

I mean I bought a 2nd one for 3 div last week.

[finite sequoia]

I used a t16 on a corrupted, irradiated map node. Why does it say the monster level is only 81?

[halcyon cave]

Is there a usual way that a new league approaching affects the economy?

[halcyon cave]

Do you have the “areas with bosses are corrupted” atlas passive?

[finite sequoia]

Yes, how'd you know? :o

Oh wait, sorry, no, I have areas with bosses are irradiated

[halcyon cave]

Well in that case the natural corrupt of the area is probably the lower level corrupt

[finite sequoia]

Wait, what does that mean? I thought corrupted adds 1 to area level

[halcyon cave]

It does, I’m now looking at the info I thought was relevant, and I’m not seeing the “-1 level” option. However, when you do have the “boss maps are corrupted” passive allocated, it sometimes lowers the level of the map if it’s already corrupted.

But I can’t find info right now on corrupted maps dropping in levels 🤔

[finite sequoia]

The strange thing is that I distinctly remember seeing "area level 82" when inserting the waystone before activating it

[halcyon cave]

Do you have the other passive that corrupts waystones a second time when opening maps? That would also do it.

[finite sequoia]

Nope

[halcyon cave]

Hoping someone else who knows the answer will weigh in.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3651622/page/2

This is presumably related, but I was warned by a friend that the Beyond Reality passive caused this problem, and I think I've gotten it with the right probability for that.

[finite sequoia]

I don't have any of the final boss passives

[rancid tiger]

I had that speced at one point but done away with it

[rancid tiger]

Same

Kinda a waste of a point

[rancid tiger]

So what are you needing an answer on?

I wouldn’t spec into it just my opinion

[halcyon cave]

Aelius's problem, which I've encountered as well, of a level 82 map dropping to level 81 (without the Double Corrupt passive allocated)

[rancid tiger]

Ohhhh

Yeah the corruption passives has screwed me more than helped me out

[finite sequoia]

I don't have any of those

[rancid tiger]

That a T16?

[finite sequoia]

Yes

[rancid tiger]

Corrupted and irratted?

[finite sequoia]

Yes

[rancid tiger]

Okay I see what you’re trying to figure out

But how is it not monster lvl 82?

[halcyon cave]

that's the question

[finite sequoia]

Right, that is the conundrum

[halcyon cave]

I've encountered the same thing, here's another post https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3716505
As with this person's experience I've only ever seen it happen on a boss map, not a "natural" 82 (corrupted + irradiated but not by boss passives)

[rancid tiger]

Did you realize the i levels of any items you picked up?

[finite sequoia]

Mine isirradiated from a boss passive, I'll note

[rancid tiger]

Or that was in the ritual alters

[finite sequoia]

81, some 82 from rare mobs

[rancid tiger]

I’d say it was a visual bug, I’ll keep an eye out when I’m running my maps

[halcyon cave]

those item levels suggest it's not just a UI problem, no?

[halcyon cave]

do you happen to know whether the boss was added by a tablet? just because if it does turn out to be a bug maybe it's got to do with slamming bosses onto existing maps

Ill try to gather more info.

[rancid tiger]

You can’t get item level 82s in monster level 81 maps

[halcyon cave]

pretty sure you get higher level items from rares, and even higher from bosses, and it's white mobs that drop = to map level

[idle hazel]

Are you sure about that? Do magic, rare and boss monsters not have a higher monster level and drop higher level items?

In other words, what twelvth said xd

[halcyon cave]

how else are we getting these lv 84s

[rancid tiger]

I may have bad bad luck then

[halcyon cave]

lol

[idle hazel]

According to the wiki, at least:

[halcyon cave]

that's consistent with the highest items available on trade being lv84

[rancid tiger]

I all my 84s from maxed out breachstones and the ritual bosses idk

Going by what chatgpt told me dog

And from my experience

[finite sequoia]

Not sure, it may have been added by a tablet. But that shouldn't be a problem

[halcyon cave]

someone reporting the issue here says it never happened before the Jan patch: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3680555

[idle stream]

so is 0.20 only adding new support gems?

[finite sequoia]

Well it's reassuring to see that it's not just me and also not that my crystal clear memory of putting in a t16 was nonetheless faulty

More widespread than I thought, PSA people go check whether you're actually able to run level 82 maps with Organized Forces allocated :(

[finite sequoia]

Yikes, that's a horrifying bug if true... Literally makes 82 zones impossible. I'll have to test more to verify

[amber helm]

what on earth gave you that impression?

you have a history of being very disingenuous - it is not appreciated.

[keen mason]

Hello I’m super new and just turned level 27 on my witch…. I haven’t gotten infernalist yet but I had a real hard time fighting azarian the forsaken sun with my current freestyle build. Should I focus on a leveling build still?

[viral stratus]

depends on what you're trying to focus your build on. i personally like minions on infernalist/witch. it's very strong for campaign, just have to find gear that gives +minion levels. sceptre, amulet and helm

unless you know what you're doing, having an aimless tree makes a really bad build

[keen mason]

I completely passed the power quest to unlock infernalist I’m not gonna lie lol I got caught up in killing things and bosses and progressed past that quest

[lost hound]

are there nodes in the atlas tree that can weaken teh effect of negative modifiers off waystones

[finite sequoia]

No, but keep in mind that negative modifiers are what give waystones their "% increase quantity of waystones found" modifier

[naive jungle]

Is there a recommended item level for t15 maps? I want to know if I'm on par, I have around 550 ex So I have enough currency to get new items I just don't know if it's worth it right now

[potent wraith]

Question: does anyone know when the season ends? The market seems to be going insane so I’m assuming it should be some time soon

[ripe tangle]

does 2.0 come with a new season?

or new league

[amber helm]

they said in a month

on the 21st

[amber helm]

new league

[ripe tangle]

I see

thx

[lost hound]

hey so i put on theif torment then took it off, an now my primed quiver stats are being ignored?

why

[amber helm]

does the quiver grant attributes

oh torment doesnt even have attributes

[lost hound]

by attributes u mean stuff like dex?

[amber helm]

yeah

there's only 2 requirements, check them

1. wielding a bow

2. attributes

[lost hound]

am wielding a bow, only requirement is being lvl 51

like it was fine before i put that ring on

[finite sequoia]

Yeah, check this out. Mousing over some map nodes, you can see that the irradiated icon isn't there on mouse-over but is there on the Atlas. Since I have Organized Forces allocated, all boss maps ought to have irradiated. Thankfully most of my boss maps do not have this problem, so I'm not locked out of level 82 zones. Also luckily this is a way to see beforehand if it'll be a bugged map and so I can know not to waste a t16 on it

[warped perch]

When does the new class and league drop? Any ETAs?

[finite sequoia]

They said the next patch will be "in about a month" as of Feb 19. But they didn't say if it will be a new league or have new classes. No one knows

[viral stratus]

0.2 suppose to be economy reset, that's what people are saying anyhow. So there's a couple new support gems, tower change, and anything else they haven't announced yet. Doesn't seem like a lot of anything to me.

[finite sequoia]

I think people are just assuming that, and it's not actually based on anything GGG has said, but I could be wrong

[amber helm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjxzTAcJqAM&ab_channel=GhazzyTV

29:20: they dont want to make big balance changes without introducing a new league
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3719001
The Biggest Problems
Major balance issues with many player skills / builds, both too high and too low
And so these are the things that we expect to improve in 0.2.0. In addition, we need to make sure that 0.2.0 has a draw card that will bring back as many players as possible to test the changes that we are making!

they said no major balance changes without a new league, they said they were going to fix major balance issues in 0.2.0. therefore, 0.2.0 will be a new league.

[finite sequoia]

Alright, yeah, I suppose that's a fair assumption

[finite sequoia]

You're SSF, right? Have you done all the endgame content yet?

[viral stratus]

not everything, not enough sim shards or breach shards. killed zarohk with every unique relic except flame. killed chaos trial boss a bunch of times. can't find a copper citadel so stuck there too

[finite sequoia]

Ah okay, glad to know I'm not the only SSF person who's getting down to the wire trying to finish it all before the next (presumably reset) league. How many hours would you say you play on an average day or week? Just trying to gauge if the issue is me or SSF

[viral stratus]

i've played about 10 characters, just over 800 hours now

if i would have spent more time on like 2 characters only, i probably would have gotten more shards and other things

[finite sequoia]

Oh. You just kinda get bored and want to start a new alt before you get to certain endgame content? :P

[viral stratus]

yeah, trying different builds, see how it plays

builds hit a dps wall too, so i need to find a very particular amulet or whatever for the next upgrade, gets harder as you need better mods

[finite sequoia]

If you could only manage to play like 20 hours a week, do you think you could finish almost everything in a typical league timeframe? Because soon I'm not going to be able to play as much as I currently have (which is like 400 hours since launch) and I still haven't gotten to any citadels, or breachstones, or simulacrums. I also am really struggling to get time-lost jewels and other such things. I don't know, I feel so rushed, yet it seems everyone else manages

[viral stratus]

that's hard to say, rng is such a big factor.

i've never timed or kept track in poe1

i've only ever found 1 level 20 skill gem

myself personally, i don't worry too much about ultra end game stuff. there's usually a huge dps wall for it anyhow. as a mainly ssf focus player, i know i won't get the gear for it

[amber helm]

if you watch streamers, they can do it in a week, so it objectively can be done

even with half their skill and half their time and half their efficiency thats still only 8 weeks

[viral stratus]

pure ssf play?

i know streamers trade a lot

you don't just get top tier gear that easily

[amber helm]

some streamers do, im talking about the ones that play ssf

just getting to do the endgame stuff

like simulacrum, citadels, breachstones

[finite sequoia]

They've probably got their build all pre-planned out and know exactly what uniques and other stuff to farm for. Not everyone wants to follow a build guide. Personally, it feels to me like playing someone else's game for them. Why even play if I didn't do it. But that's just me

[amber helm]

well sure, plan it out then

for yourself

[finite sequoia]

I don't know in advance what to do until I do it and find out what's working and what's not

I spend quite a lot of time in Path of Building

[viral stratus]

yeah, i like to explore the game for myself. i'm not rushed for ultra end game, i mostly go with what gear i find

[amber helm]

yeah, that's something you're going to want to improve on if you want to reach your goals

[finite sequoia]

It'll get better with practice, I'm sure. Even with totally different builds, there's some commonalities that experience can inform on

[viral stratus]

that's mainly why i tried so many characters

[finite sequoia]

I still feel like leagues are timed for the streamer crowd instead of the median person. Even in PoE1, I always wished leagues were about twice as long

[viral stratus]

i learned from spell caster builds, best way to utilize curses

i thought they were about 3 months

from what i recall

[finite sequoia]

Yeah, and I find that's just too short

[amber helm]

that is def not true though

you might think they're too short but the 3-4 month cycle in poe1 was plenty time for the core of the playerbase

of course its less than 3-4 months rn for poe2, but there's much less to do than in poe1

[viral stratus]

when i was playing poe1, i had a good amount of time to dedicate to it, so 3 months was plenty.

but like you said, if you only have about 20 hours a week, 3 months may be enough or could be short, depends on how quickly you progress

definitely need a plan and focused effort though

[finite sequoia]

I guess I'm thinking more about the working stiffs and the parents of young kids who just can't dedicate substantial amounts of time to gaming. They're not casual gamers, they're just like everyone else but happen to have less discretionary time in the day

[viral stratus]

if you play trade, it's probably just rng luck on finding a valuable drop

[finite sequoia]

A lot of people who grew up with D2 as kids are now at about that age where they have young kids and/or career obligations

[viral stratus]

if you do ssf, i dont know what it'll be like

[finite sequoia]

Oh if I played trade I'm sure I could finish everything in no time. But then, if I played trade I just wouldn't play PoE2 anymore

[viral stratus]

i'm considering playing my standard characters more

for ssf

cause if i make a new ssf character, it's just to farm for the new stuff, whatever those will be.

and i may never get many citadel clears, or keep chasing the same end game spot

so, depending on what 0.2 exactly brings to the table, my time and efforts may be more rewarding just playing old characters in standard

[finite sequoia]

I want to clear endgame content because it's hard to understand the game and the changes made to it unless you've done it. That was my experience in PoE1: I never made it past maps, so I had no idea what people were talking about with all this Atziri and Uber this and that and Shaper and whatever the hell else

[viral stratus]

depending on poe1 league, i was only able to get some builds that far. i mostly crashed or hit a wall mid maps. t8-10s range for poe1

it was cause certain new builds were broken, super strong and got nerfed afterwards anyhow

[small estuary]

What character would you recommend as a second to level? I want to get a feel for something other than minions and see what they value on gear.

[alpine oar]

will crisis fragments be consumed after each encounter with arbiter of ash? and i have to find the citadels again/gather fragments to do the next encounter?
so 12 fragments total for 4tiers

[amber helm]

yeah

[finite sequoia]

I don't understand how there aren't mass protests over this friggin crowbell boss in maps. He literally one-shot me at 4000hp with his leap slam. It's ridiculous...

[novel crow]

weird, I like crowbell

and I'm usually the greatest hater of one shot mechanics

Anyone need t15 maps? I have a heap of what I consider useless ones

[proper tartan]

I don't know I always found Crowbell easy

[hollow ice]

just one shot him back

well

3 shot

@still vine works just like a rune

It will give you 2% increased maximum Life on the item but gets added to your overall stats

[mighty plume]

hhh my character is still bugged

Game crashed while fighting act 3 cruel doryani, reopened and I was still in the fight, beat him and proceeded as normal

But game tells me that I have yet to complete all main quests

[sonic glade]

When is 0.2 dropping

[amber helm]

1 month or so

[bleak canopy]

Any news on Infernalist demon form fixes?

[still vine]

ty

[amber helm]

its global

so it applies to your overall flat life

not the rolls on your item

[still vine]

thanks again

[visual current]

is there any way to clear distilled emotions in your waystones? like when you are in the map itself

[sand kestrel]

Do you guys corrupt every T15 map?

[rancid tiger]

I don’t think so

[rancid tiger]

I juice them out, distill them and then corrupt

But that’s me trying to maximize experience and loot

[sand kestrel]

Thats exactly what I am trying to do. Thanks.

I need to distill more

[rancid tiger]

Yea when I didn’t have much distilled I’d still corrupt them in hopes to get a T16

[visual current]

do you know if delirium makes mobs tankier/do more damage?

[rancid tiger]

They definitely get a buff, not sure how much of one

[visual current]

aite, thanks

[mighty plume]

I FOUND THE ERROR

Apparently the reason why i couldnt proceed is because the trial of chaos for cruel difficulty bugged out

if I can complete it, i think my gemling can start mapping

[viral stratus]

all i know is, you have to use your first map within the ziggorat refuge area. if it's not allowing you to do that, you might have some other weird glitch happening

[arctic crag]

there is no real quest for trial of chaos or sekhemas in cruel acts though. They show up as optional quests but there are no quest items and everyone has to ignore them and wait until they find the appropriate level baryas (most of the times in maps)

[viral stratus]

i haven't heard of ascendency glitches preventing people from doing maps

[mighty plume]

its not an ascendency glitch, its a quest completion bug on my end

[viral stratus]

call it what you want, it revolves around ascendency

mapping and ascendency are two different things that don't connect in the game, in terms of glitches. nothing that i've heard of anyhow

definitely weird atlas glitches that stop you from connecting to certain nodes, or simply unreachable nodes

[cloud wind]

Well not true as atlas dropped his underwear infront of my postman and he liked it

He said nodes abd nudes they the ssne

Same

Oh and hes not gay he has 15 kids 15 of them are adopted but well

He loves kids

[sand kestrel]

Which 2 nodes to hit first on the Delirium Atlas?

[vague valve]

wait do i need certain maps to enter citadels or am i being slow

ah nvm i was just bugged out

are faded crisis fragments worth using or should i exchange em for the exalts/divs

each fragment is 2 divs

[viral stratus]

depends if you want to run that fight or not

[vague valve]

i thought i could use all 3 to open the door

just used one and sold the others

[sand kestrel]

You don't need all three to open the door for the Arbiter?

[vague valve]

you need one of each

i had 3 faded fragments

[sand kestrel]

Thats what I thought, thanks

[vague valve]

ok so arbiter of ash is crazy

cant beat this dude

[brisk verge]

Imagine only gaming for 20 hours a week smh

[viral stratus]

you dont want to know what i'm averaging right now. working full time, but no kids. so lots of free time on my own

keeps me out of trouble though, passes time, go to work, stack money irl

[vague valve]

i have a 48% ingenuity belt rn should i focus upgrading the belt to a higher % or getting better rings?

the fire dmg on the prismatic ring kills me but its too risky to chaos

[viral stratus]

latest is that belts are pretty cheap, i dont keep up with prices so whatever cheap means. dont know what your build is, so not sure what you're looking for

[agile oar]

hey guys im running the pillar + invoker build with 250k+ base dps but having trouble with bosses, any advice?

[quasi sentinel]

between this 2, which one would be better or easier tos tart after finishing campaign?

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/archmage-spark-stormweaver-build-guide
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/spark-lightning-conduit-stormweaver#summary-header

[viral stratus]

why that one have widow and quiver? that seems odd. or did I miss something?

generic spark probably easier to follow, i didn't fully read both guides, but depending on what you have for gear or what currency you have to buy stuff, simple is easier. finding spirit is probably top end better overall, but maybe more expensive to buy

[idle hazel]

According to that guide:

[viral stratus]

ah, they just going for proj speed and pierce, makes sense then, but i'd rather take wand +levels

well, i suppose proj levels applies to spark only though

[idle hazel]

The guide does swap to a Wand and Focus for bossing, so it ends up with both

[dusky star]

you can get +levels on quiver, too, obviously

(which you would, if playing widowhail spark)

since spark is a projectile

[viral stratus]

yeah, i got that, just seemed odd missing out on potential spell dmg boosts. and the obvious lack of spell level to other spells in the kit

[dusky star]

shrug, just the cheapest way to get really strong early

[quiet merlin]

70% min

[viral stratus]

considering that they already have a wand+focus, it makes it more odd to use widow, just for clearing map. spark works just fine, dont need the extra pierce or speed. maybe that's just me. i give them kudos for thinking of it for a build guide to be different though. so... the real gain is really just the speed and pierce you'd get from quiver. the level gains would be fairly even. maybe you could say price is cheaper if they were running only widow+quiver, but if you already have a wand+focus, you're not spending less

[royal orchid]

If I 1 shot arbiter and he continues to do an attack, can I relog and just afk with grace time until he drops the loot?

I'm playing hc so I don't want to take any chances

[quiet merlin]

Yes

He goes into phase 2 I never tryed logging out

U gotta finish his last bit of hp

[narrow idol]

does anyone have a tier list of sekemas afflictions?

[kindred jetty]

How long time should a map take to complete?

If a map takes longer for example, is the build bad?

[quiet merlin]

Hard question lol my maps are like 3mins

[kindred jetty]

Am I doing them wrong by killing everything?

[finite sequoia]

Mine take like 10 minutes. I also kill almost everything. I'm a slow warrior, too. Now, some maps are just cancer and require a huge amount of backtracking, like Mire and Forge. Those will take longer

[south hazel]

Guys, can someone send me a starter guide for atlas?

[kindred jetty]

Wow. I'm like struggling in maps then. Lol

Though I'm lvl 69 blood mage, which obviously doesn't work well ATM. 🤔 😁

[dusty widget]

Just installed a loot filter for the first time, are there other addons like that I should use?

[dull plank]

We’re not ggg support so we can’t do anything about in game scammers. Please report them to ggg via email or in game via the report button

[finite sequoia]

Can anyone think of a way to solve the problem I'm having where some maps zero out my life regen ("% less life recovered") but I also have the Blood Magic passive? Instant life flasks work, as does life on kill, but my problem is on map bosses where I run out of life flasks and there's nothing to kill. My life bottoms out and I can't even use my skills.

[dusky star]

don't run that map mod?

[finite sequoia]

Hmmmmm... I'm gonna have to look into that, but I think that checks out

[main egret]

Is there any way to change the way in which droped loot is displayed. Like to light up or make rune/orb drops more visable. Pretty sure i seen some streamers have it.

[south hazel]

what tier maps will I see if I put my loot filter to very strict?

[idle hazel]

That would be done with a loot filter. You can either learn how to make your own, or download something that already exists. For instance, you can get Neversink's loot filter from https://www.filterblade.xyz/?game=Poe2, where you can also customize the look and what exactly is and isn't hidden.

[undone merlin]

there any required level for citadels? havent attempted any yet

[main egret]

Thank you

[vivid plover]

can someone tell me if an audience with the king still has a chance to show on a lvl 79 map?

[fossil bloom]

You need a level 15 map

[undone merlin]

oh ok thx

[narrow idol]

ive found around 10 coffers and 0 vases, are we sure they both are 15%?

[nimble frigate]

When I'm looking to see my freeze time or whatever it's called where is that in the stats or is it hidden? I'm using ice trike..

[solar atlas]

does any cold damage automaticly chill or how can i see what skill chills?

[jaunty vine]

can someone carry me through some maps pls (im lvl 65)

[dusky star]

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

All cold damage above a minimum ailment threshold applies chill. The magnitude of the Chill scales the slow effect and depends on the damage taken by the enemy after mitigation relative to the enemy's ailment threshold, up to a maximum of 50%.

[solar atlas]

ok thank you! so my frostbomb will chill right?

[dusky star]

assuming it deals enough cold damage to chill whichever enemy it's hitting, sure!

[jaunty vine]

can someone carry me through some maps pls (im lvl 65)

[signal badger]

Is there any way to tell by looking at an item what the effect of Vall Orb corruption was?

[nimble frigate]

Add me be in soon #2┃looking-for-group just this also.

Use that also*

[nimble frigate]

But with ice strike I can have tree points to freeze long or higher % no? Just killed the king and if I didn't freeze him.. I wouldn't if got him the 3rd try

[finite sequoia]

I only seem to be getting time-lost chests in Sekhemas about 10% of runs. Does that match other people's experience?

[main egret]

Whats the best way to get waystones, i run tier 9 and get tier 1. To a point where i cant even run anything my level anymore

[undone merlin]

ive had to go back to lower lvls several time s too

granted some stones i wont use

[dusky star]

freeze buildup can help a lot with that, chill is a cold ailment, but is not strictly related to freeze

chill magnitude doesn't help you freeze faster

[nimble frigate]

Is build up a %? When I look at Ice strike is there something I could see maybe I need to change my point around maybe

[dusky star]

double freeze buildup on a jewel can be massive to get a reliable freeze

since sapphire can both roll regular freeze buildup and freeze buildup with quarterstaves

etc.

[dusky star]

honestly, the biggest improvement is always just getting more (cold) dmg

[frigid lantern]

Is there an armor guide for rangers somewhere? I have no idea what kind of armor I should have.

[dusky star]

you tend to use pure evasion bases at first and evasion/ES bases later (but you can swap evasion/ES whenever you want)

[frigid lantern]

So, I should focus on armor that gives me evasion?

[dusky star]

in the campaign you should just focus on whatever gives you the stuff you want (life/res/etc.)

but post-campaign, sure, evasion and evasion/ES is popular

atziri's disdain is amazing

[main egret]

I keep doing it over and over, even making most high ones legendary and still slim luck

[frigid lantern]

What is ES?

[dusky star]

energy shield

[frigid lantern]

ah I see

[dusky star]

fubgun has a pretty good LA deadeye guide, if you want to use it for inspiration, but it may assume you know more than you do

[frigid lantern]

Thanks ill check that out

[narrow idol]

I have all seeing ey, if I take black smoke what would happen?

So Honor resistance is capped at 75 right? I just wondering cause there is a 90% around also.

[mighty garden]

I’m ice monk dps around 100k+ when all buffs are online. Having a hard time farming efficiently to juice gear like 70%+ inguinity or better jewels, any tips. Seem to have hit a currency bottleneck

[narrow idol]

I didnt took it, will take it next floor forscience

[finite sequoia]

There's relics to increase max resist beyond 75

[narrow idol]

nothing changes 🙂

[idle hazel]

The description does state this

At least on the wiki, I'm never lucky enough with boons to check xd

[narrow idol]

anyway there's no way the unique coffer and vase have the same drop chance, like the wiki says

[odd imp]

what annoints on rings for blight?

[idle hazel]

Considering that Blight doesn't exist in PoE2, I'm going to assume you meant to ask that here: https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/405874785038368818

[narrow marsh]

does higher delirious number in waystone contributes to better droprate?

[viral stratus]

What was that glitch i heard someone mention? I have the atlas node for irradiated boss monster. But mouse over doesn't show irradiated bonus. So, without further tower buffs, is the assumed monster level going to get the +1 or not?

[undone merlin]

i love this game. have 800 hrs in but i thoroughly despise the idea that we should only be able to use 1 of each gem for almost all classes. could see 1 of each in each spell, but these are really unnecessary restrictions best i can tell. if yalld be so kind as to help me convince GGG that we should get 2 of each gem per setup. every time i start monkeying with my build i get perturbed

[slender brook]

Hi, does anyone know why can't i see my crit chance?

[viral stratus]

I appreciate gemling for the 2x support gems. It's certainly strong but perhaps that's why they made the restrictions. Otherwise builds would just consist of the same 3-6 top supports. Too 1 dimensional.

[viral stratus]

Depends where you're looking, should be in tooltip info for each skill

[slender brook]

It doesn't show

[undone merlin]

its unfair... no its racist...ha checkmate. i completely disagree that everyone would use the same gems. variety is the point but it shouldn't be required

[jaunty vine]

[compact acorn]

does anyone have a good invoker build for ~5 div? trying out a monk before next patch

[thick kernel]

does the flasks gain charges per second intrinsic on fine belt apply to charms

[viral stratus]

flask charges and charm charges are two different things

[viral stratus]

any build under 5 div probably won't be "good" or whatever that entails. you can certainly make an invoker build for cheap, as i did. it wont have the top end dps that most invoker builds need to flow good and clear content though. nothing in maps anyhow. it'll be fine for campaign stuff

[amber helm]

no

[forest trellis]

oh fuck my bad

huge server. this is the 2nd time i sent something in wrong channel lmao

[idle hazel]

Just mouse over the attribute in the character screen or when inspecting the tooltip. It's Life for Strength, Mana for Intelligence, and Accuracy Rating for Dexterity.

[signal hornet]

Or is it not possible on PS5?

[warm gorge]

So no dmg bonus at all? I really struggle to understand why stat stacking works how it does... ive got thos gloves with dex=more speed, but is there anything else about Stats improving my dmg?

[idle hazel]

Check what other bonus the Hand of Wisdom and Action gives you, and what the Pillar of the Caged God does if you're using it.

Namely this line on the gloves

And these from the Pillar (again, if you're using it)

[warm gorge]

Thank you. Atm ive got like 60k dmg unbuffed and 30k with pillar so I guess my stats are too low. So if I improve stats and use that pillar 70k goes up to like 7 digits what ive seen here?

(Flurry dmg i mean)

[amber helm]

theres also a node on the tree for % atkspd per dex

and a node for % atkspd per accuracy

and dex gives accuracy

[warm gorge]

Yeah i skilled that. Oh i didnt know that accuracy node. Is it near Invoker tree or do i have to instill it?

[grim sequoia]

Hi guys, I'm new to poe2 and it's been a few days that I can't find the solution to finish my campaign quests. I'm starting to think that it's a bug, or that I missed something, yet I returned the maps designated for the quests "traitor's passage" of act 2 and "Legacy of the vaal" After defeating the last boss of act 3 cruel, I return to the camp but when I talk to Doryani, he doesn't validate anything. In fact, it's impossible to continue my campaign, impossible to have my hideout, or to access the atlas to continue my leveling.🥺

[amber helm]

its like 4 o clock on the tree

between merc and ranger start

[viral stratus]

it's a known glitch, you cleared those during normal campaign. ok to move on

the 1st map you have to open from within ziggurat refuge, once you clear that map, can open from within hideout

[slender brook]

How do I fix crit chance not showing up? 😭

[cerulean dagger]

Would anyone be able to give me some tips on how to sustain Mana Tempest on Archmage Spark Stormweaver? I'm able to sustain Achmage Spark spam just fine, my mana doesn't really move while doing it and if actually goes up if I'm not full. Mana Tempest on the other hand drains it extremely fast. I can barely use the skill it feels like.

[viral stratus]

i stopped using tempest, too close to dying since i'm full mom, eb, ci.

[grim sequoia]

thanks Thaddeus😀 , i must have talked to the Doryani in the past, but what i don't understand is that i went back through the gate before and yet the "past" Doryani hadn't popped... weird

[jaunty vine]

can someone carry me through some maps pls (im lvl 69)

[cerulean dagger]

@viral stratus Ya, in a bit apprehensive to use it because my mana shoots down to zero really fast when using it. I'm also eb/mom (not ci yet)

[viral stratus]

i found i didn't capitalize on it's benefits anyhow. not enough time to stack all the buffs. so i use sigil, curse, and orb with mana font. getting a 4th or 5th buff somehow takes too long

[polar arrow]

Where is the best place to farm low level gems? Lvl 2-10

[undone merlin]

wish was possible to play offline. my internets being a terror last couple days been getting booted constantly

[viral stratus]

no best place, you have to go to appropriate level range for low level gems. dont know the exact cutoff for each tier.

[proper tartan]

the washington dc server went basically down last night

[undone merlin]

im actually on texas. pretty sure its just my internet being funky and not the game.

[main egret]

Where do i find the npcs to trade using the collected artifacts ?

[lethal summit]

what things influence whether it's a normal essence or a greater one dropping from the thingies?

[hollow ice]

once you interact with the npc in maps, they should appear in your hideout; if not you can spawn them in manually

[hollow ice]

mf iirc

[lethal summit]

corruption can make tablets rare?

[main egret]

oh thanks

[misty flower]

How much does a sapphire ring cost ?

[hollow ice]

40-50 ex per on tft right now

for sapphire ring bases

[misty flower]

Ok ty

[brisk verge]

Did spark archmage get nerfed into the ground btw? Looked pretty fun on videos

Idk if it's been obliterated tho

[viral stratus]

What rumor said anything about spark nerf?

[brisk verge]

No rumor I just haven't kept up with all the patches and I know they nerfed some shock stuff since launch

[proper tartan]

don't scare me ;D

[hollow ice]

no after first few nerfs people got pissed bc the builds they put time into got cooked so they said no nerfs until next reset

there were a couple changes for gamebreaking / bug-abusing stuff but archmage spark is still meta

[brisk verge]

Oh ok sick nasty poggers famslice

[obtuse hemlock]

no, these are a special drop from arbiter of ash once you put several points into his atlas tree

[naive jungle]

Is anyone having an issue with the currency exchange for the amounts? I said I had a few orbs of annulment and then it automatically said that I had more than that and that I wanted more than I set it to?

[viral stratus]

It's a bit glitchy at the beginning. I usually have to verify right number a couple times

[frigid lantern]

Am I the only one that thinks Breach shouldn’t appear on Augury? It’s pretty dogshxt

[harsh dune]

Anyone willing to help get my 3rd ascension

[frigid lantern]

I think I’m just losing faith in GGG😂

[proud void]

there somewhere i can look at a waystone sustain atlas screenshot or a link to a guide? i dont feel like sitting through a 25 min youtube video

[novel crow]

key to sustaining waystones is to pick the waystone nodes on the atlas passives, and do as many boss maps as possible if you can't afford to juice maps

[proud void]

yeah naturally, but I was wanting to look at someone's that's had success with it to make sure I'm on the right path

[lost hound]

When a boss has proximal tangibility, is there a way i can run fron the boss and quit the map to save exp?

[true pine]

any pconc of bouncing players here that could help me sus some stuff out?

[amber helm]

#1┃after-acts-help

[true pine]

shit. thanks lol

[runic wolf]

The "maximum energy shield" means it will add to my current energy shield and not in this helm item?

[amber helm]

no its local

still local

[runic wolf]

Means the 65 is already added on the 166?

[amber helm]

yes

[runic wolf]

Thanks

[viral stratus]

Just go near them to do damage, no need to quit

[lofty horizon]

For selling stuff is there something I can use that could give me an estimate price on what it would be worth or do I just have to look on trade site for similar items?

[warped spire]

what are the vaal orb outcomes for wands?

[novel crow]

Picked these up in an expedition with lots of top tier mods and no bad ones. Are these any good? I dunno anything outside of sorcs

probably would have benefited from more evasion I guess

[junior hornet]

looks nice but most attack builds just use a howa

[novel crow]

icic

they're all stat stackers?

[junior hornet]

nah if you have decent stats ~150-200 a howa would be better than most rares, offensively

[novel crow]

roger

ty

how often do you find the boss in an expedition?

he was in 2 of the 3 I did just now

[balmy surge]

what are some good level 47 boots

invoker build

[lofty horizon]

Don’t know if anyone does this but Is anyone able to take me through their higher level waystones so I can lvl up my monk fast

[novel crow]

there's an xp penalty

if you're too far from the level of what map you're in

[junior hornet]

for me it's like 1 every 15

[novel crow]

wow so I was lucky with 2/3

I'd completely ignored expedition till now but the boss went down very easily

bosses with phases usually annoy me but his attacks between phases are limited

tried sim+3 today and no luck, died in round 11, so definitely not up for it

I do tons of damage but can still be hit too hard

well, tons compared to my old build, I know there are others that do a lot more

[glass forge]

anyone has extra time wanna help me out with my act 2 cruel campaign

[zenith sigil]

you can try in #2┃looking-for-group

[full adder]

Just got to mapping as an infernalist but most builds seem pretty weak when watching them handle end game bosses and my own clearing of t1s is pretty slow. Not sure what to do/build toward now that can last me the rest of the game. Any advice?

[rancid tiger]

Have you looked into any potential upgrades to your weapons, armor, amulets, rings or even jewels?

[full adder]

Yeah and thats wherein my problem lies. These builds need different stuff and I don't want to waste my limited exal on something that doesn't seem to really help

[rancid tiger]

Link me the build you’re looking at

[full adder]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/b361c663-2609-4ce8-96d7-c803e094b83d/builds/f6821ea5-c6e0-4a05-b44e-941eec3b9727?weaponSet=set1&widgets-state=eyJmN2Q4MjEwMi03ZTc3LTRhNDQtYWQyNC0zM2I2N2U4YWU3YmYiOnsiZmlsdGVycyI6eyJhY3RpdmVWYXJpYW50SWQiOiI5OWYzNDZkOC0yOGRlLTQ0ZGQtYWM1Yy00YjZiYjQ3ZTA5OGEifSwidHlwZW5hbWUiOiJOZ2ZEb2N1bWVudENtV2lkZ2V0Q29udGVudFZhcmlhbnRzVjEifX0

(have been going by the third ascendancy so far)

[rancid tiger]

Noticed one of the cons he’s got listed “The build is quite slow. The minions clear well, but you're moving slowly. There's no movement speed on the tree, and I'm not really a fan of using movement skills so far. I did put in shield charge, however, if you like that skill.”

[full adder]

Oh I'm moving just fine as of currently, but my minions are tickling the enemy and im sitting behind them waiting for a solid while. Though I haven't built everything fully for him as when I watched his example video he appeared to do little damage to end bosses, but idk

[rancid tiger]

Let me see your scepter

[full adder]

I'm not on POE rn but its a +2 minion skill level scepter with a few ally % buffs I believe

[junior hornet]

and ur on SSF right?

[full adder]

Yeah but at this point im considering migrating

[rancid tiger]

Do you have your 3rd ascendency done already?

[full adder]

No, died on the second floor when I tried at level so I've been waiting now to get another djinn

[rancid tiger]

Minion builds give me a headache, I’m trying to figure out why you’re doing low damage on T1s

“For the 3rd ascendancy, we’re taking , which provides quite a bit of extra spirit, around 50 or so. That’s one or two more arsonists, and it’s a big step in the build.”

Don’t think that would affect your damage though right?

[full adder]

Appreciate the help though lol

I'm at around 7 arsonists rn, so I guess I'd get another few thousand dps

[rancid tiger]

All I can see is trying to find something with + to minion skills is huge too

On amulet as well

If possible

[junior hornet]

and helmet

[rancid tiger]

And more to minion skills on scepter

[rancid tiger]

Yes

[full adder]

Yeah will do. Any thoughts on if I should keep following the guide I linked or swap to something else?

[rancid tiger]

That’s completely up to you, if you’re not enjoying the build at its current state and feel you’d enjoy another one better you can always try upgrading to another build and seeing how that works

[full adder]

Alright, thanks for the help!

[rancid tiger]

I may be able to link a decent one let me see

[rancid tiger]

This the same one you’re using just posted on the forums? https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3637851

If so that may give you a little bit more of a break down into what stats you want to go to try and increase more damage

[full adder]

I think its a bit different, appreciate it 🙂

[rancid tiger]

Anytime! Sorry I wasn’t much help, I switched off of witch early game due to not doing enough damage and the play style but that was just me haha

When you get more chocolate I expect a piece at least

@junior hornet

[junior hornet]

nuh uh

[slender brook]

@full adder if you want I can lvl you up, could help a little

[full adder]

I'm all good, I think I can dredge through this, thanks though!

[slender brook]

Y sure? It would be fast

[junior hornet]

they're in SSF

[viral stratus]

Level up my ssf character for me, lol

[odd imp]

Everyone still getting this bug?

[jaunty jolt]

yup faced it multiple times! not sure what causes it but a restart usually fixes it for me

[dusty widget]

Why can't I use a regal orb on this?

[idle hazel]

Flasks can't be rare.

[novel crow]

I'm confused, I've got +2 levels in expedition but the lv80 logbook opened at lv81

but more importantly it only dropped junk

I must have been lucky to have gotten the boss first two, because nothing since

[gloomy glade]

hey yall can anyone carry for ascendancy points?

[pale sinew]

Yeah need help as well

[dusty widget]

What should I do with this? Juice it up and sell?

[zenith sigil]

it increases the level of enemies by 1 in the maps it applies to, you can also transmute+augment it for some extra modifiers that will also apply

the 10 Map tablets usually sell for something tho

[dusty widget]

I see

[zenith sigil]

10 is max it can roll iirc

so thats why they are often worth at least a few exalts

might depend on the tablet tho, the irradiated ones are very common

[dusty widget]

hmm

no idea if this is good or bad or for how much to sell

[pale sinew]

Can somebody pls help me with the trial of sekhemas? I keep dying on the third and last floor. If anyone needs help i would be happy to partner up.

[zenith sigil]

you can search the trade site by exactly that name (works for magic items like that)

my search shows like 5-10exalts

[zenith sigil]

#2┃looking-for-group
or you can try places like The forbidden trove that offer carry services

[pale sinew]

Alright thanks

[dusty widget]

ah dope, ty

[novel crow]

which points?

[dusty widget]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/yxd720nn I am following this build, and there is something I don't get - I have copied almost everything, but my herald of thunder barely ever triggers - I'm sure that that is why it feels so weak right now. What could cause this? Is my damage not high enough?

[gloomy glade]

3rd and 4th ascendancy

[novel crow]

I can't help with 4th but I can do a trial of chaos which will give you 3rd

takes about 15min

I've never done it before for someone though

[gloomy glade]

should be fine , thanks in advance

[novel crow]

so you want?

[gloomy glade]

yeah

ill add u ingame

[novel crow]

I really don't know how this works but I've seen that you can get 3rd ascendancy by doing the trial - I can't do trialmaster for the 4th

I think you can just wait at the top of the elevator till I finish each floor

think

[gloomy glade]

we can give it a run.

[novel crow]

ign: Sorcakas

[gloomy glade]

only tried sekhemas for my ascendanies

[arctic badge]

There is quite often people in game offering to help for free or a small ex fee. The quickest option is to get a carry in Sekhemas for the 4th ascendancy and you will get any points that you are missing.

[gloomy glade]

hmm yrah but mroe are 1 div

[worldly grail]

Nah you can get for free

[gloomy glade]

nahh 1 div average

[gloomy glade]

Thanks for the help bro

[novel crow]

np

I'm sure it was choosing every shit option intentionally lol

I struggle with trialmaster and boss at end of sekhemas so can't offer 4th

someone helped me so just returning the favour

[novel crow]

With +2 in expedition, shouldn't my expedition maps be lv82? They're only 81

[jade forum]

I've got an interesting bug, I can't open the sekhemas menu, does anyone have any ideas?

[novel crow]

quit the game and get the minipatch

[jade forum]

I've restarted the game etc., but it doesn't work.

[novel crow]

there was a bug that made it not work

[jade forum]

huh

[novel crow]

hrm shafted then

[jade forum]

I restarted, checked the file, nothing changed

[novel crow]

meh

[jade forum]

and you can't create new insatnce in sekhemas

kekw

with ctrl + M1

[fathom veldt]

no duping for u

sry mate

[vague valve]

finally think im done upgrading my gear, res all 80, 222k dps ice strike, and bossing is easy

but tbf that 55% ingenuity is KILLING me

but i am NOT buing one until divs drop because no way am i paying ~5000 exalts for a "good" integuity

could maybe buy an uncorrupted once and try my luck

[jaunty void]

Sigil of power support gems ?? What shd they be

[slender brook]

How much % on ingenuity to Vaal it?

[small fern]

No set number but if it rolls a percent increase it’s 1.2x the current number on a mod

If it’s an enchant I haven’t seen the mod percent change

[slender brook]

Is it always 1,2 or can be 1,1?

[small fern]

It can be anywhere from 1 to 1.225

Which is why it sometimes doesn’t seem like it did anything

Well technically it can be even less

[slender brook]

Ah, thanks

[small fern]

Which is why you get reduced numbers

[slender brook]

@small fern is this the same thing with divine orbs?

[small fern]

No

Divine Orbs stick to the specified range

[fossil bloom]

Persistence if you’re not using it already, It’s a str gem
Clarity should work if you’re not using it on something else too

[narrow idol]

if I use a divine will it reroll the affixes tier also?
for ex if I have a T1 on mana reg 10-19 could it become T2 anda have more than 19?

[icy knot]

Is there any way to disable optional quest rewards from campaign that I picked up? Like the increased max health from the end of act 1

[slim slate]

should i be doing the inscribed ultimatum stuffs even if they dont give ascendancy points?

[solar atlas]

Hi Guys, when i get a passive like "30% increased elemental damage after shocking an enemy recently" for how long does this bonus hold?

[slim slate]

4 seconds

[solar atlas]

ok thank you

[amber helm]

recently = 4 seconds

[acoustic bane]

No, it doesn't change my Tiers. Divine rerolls all the numbers, implicit and explicit. If 10-19, it'll just reroll that and you'll randomly get 10-19.

[acoustic bane]

But corrupting an item has a 25% chance to both reroll the explicits and then apply a multiplier between 0.78x to 1.22x. So that could possibly take that 10-19 roll, reroll it, get a high roll, and then also apply a multiplier to it to boost it higher than normal.

But of course it's random and it could also roll low with a modifier that reduces it even further.

[haughty bolt]

hey how do ascendancy carries work?

do i have to pay them or?

[amber helm]

usually, yeah

unless they want to carry you out of the kindness of their hearts, which does happen sometimes

note that we dont do paid carries on this server

[lost hound]

I got a ascendancy carry, guy just wanted the cores

[haughty bolt]

ah okay

[rancid tiger]

If it’s an ultimatum I’m down to help

[haughty bolt]

no its sekhemas

[slender brook]

Hey question, affliction "death toll" - take X phy dmg after completing 8 rooms, does it mean it will have to go through es first? Also it won't take honour, right?

[lost hound]

@slender brook it will take honour, and its start on the next room after getting debuff

Probably wont kill u unless u real low on life or honour,

[slender brook]

Good to know thought these afflictions that take some hp after room completion don't take honour 😅

[digital shadow]

Hi can someone help me with the viper boss, this girl give me huge hard time...

😄

[proper hazel]

[digital shadow]

but really this boss oneshots in the spearpart -.-

[stray pollen]

Will putting in a sub-level 80 Djinn Barya with a unique relic to get a confirmed Against the Darkness give me a lower quality AtD due to the lower level Djinn?

[vague valve]

is the audience with the king a chance drop in the ritual shops? Or do I have to complete enough ritual maps to finally get a chance to buy one?

[novel crow]

it's a chance

I had one surprisingly early

[frigid lantern]

Where can I earn currency with 90K dps?

[vague valve]

if you have 10 trial ultimatums use them

[frigid lantern]

can up to 200

[vague valve]

i had a bunch and averaged like 450-ish exalts per run when the fates were all selling for like 150+ exalts

[haughty bolt]

can someone carry me through 3rd ascendancy

since GGG cant balance it for shit

[quasi sentinel]

Sanctum or chaos trial for the 5 and 6th point?

[tight folio]

i really struggle with an endgame build atm. im lvl 79 and used this here: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/15fcdb6b-735b-484e-86f7-610728bcdff1/builds/c487bac4-440c-4fe5-a016-327a4f732072?weaponSet=set1#passive-tree-0

then i switched to https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/hammer-ignite-titan-connor-converse?weaponSet=set1

now im lacking strength and do no dmg at all. dont know what to do now and how to progress

[undone merlin]

the blood downpour that the rotten bird in chaos trials does is bullshits. completely undodgeable sometimes and kills me 100% of the times it hits me

undodgeable tracking attacks are all bullshit matter off fact. if damage is unavoidable with skill then its not fun GGG

[vague valve]

whats ur build

[novel crow]

whatever you find easier

[rancid tiger]

Anyone using a good spark build they could throw my way?

What affects the amount of essences in a map? I know one can randomly spawn, but I just had a map with 5 different imprisoned monsters, one containing 3 essences

There's the atlas node which says imprisoned monsters have 15% chance to have 2 additional essences but idk where did 4 other imprisoned monsters spawn from, or if its just completely random
