[proud void]

really random question, but can you switch out runes in a corrupted item?

[novel crow]

yes

[vital siren]

completed in act 3 cruel now

it was a bit strange coz i forget that u need to switch with Asala to continue true the maps

this is how much i like monks in party for bosses 😂😂😂🤭

[novel crow]

is burden of shadows useful? The price range is obscene on trade, I can't get a fix on it

I guess not

[viscid sage]

I dont feel like its really good but Im dont have the knowledge on those weapons

[novel crow]

the stats that ggg give out aren't very useful, I'd love to see which uniques are in use

but they're interesting at least

[viscid sage]

Ingenuity Belt

[novel crow]

yeah that one I know

[viscid sage]

Dream Fragments

[novel crow]

have one myself

[viscid sage]

Pillar of the God for stat stscker as well as Astramantos

[novel crow]

nod

[viscid sage]

Queen of the Forest as well I assume

[novel crow]

ty

[viscid sage]

Temporalis... and then... maybe others

But these are all I have in mind

[novel crow]

I know about most of those, didn't know queen was used

[viscid sage]

Maybe its niche but I saw some

[novel crow]

now do I just pay for more rounds of king

pricey ticket

[viscid sage]

You just invest playtime, its all up to you ^^

[novel crow]

yeah not sure I can be bothered doing hundreds of altars

[viscid sage]

This is one of the G : Grinding

[novel crow]

yeah I may have done enough grinding

but I only have 28d total

so 3.5d per round is expensive for me

it's the only boss left that I should be able to max out

should being the operative word :p

1900+ ex or ~3.5d

man that div inflation is murder

[viscid sage]

Youre way further into the game than me. Havent done 1 citadel yet

[novel crow]

yeah well I should be able to do everything now but I have a skill issue lol

[viscid sage]

Maybe I griefed as well dying dumb

[novel crow]

I'm a lv98 spark

[viscid sage]

Level 94 invoker

[novel crow]

well that shreds too

two most popular builds

[viscid sage]

Yeah. I do enjoy it. I need to upgrade my damages, I need a good emerald with quarterstaff

I Will look into that on Sunday

[novel crow]

dunno anything about that build tbh, very much only know stormweaver

[viscid sage]

So do I with invoker

[novel crow]

it happens unless you play multiple builds

[viscid sage]

Yeah, this is my 1st char. I created others but ~30

So... little knowledge 🤣

[novel crow]

I really enjoy the build crafting but so many lead to dead ends

they look good to begin with but then never reach the big damage heights

[viscid sage]

I do it for leveling then in endgame I dont mind looking for guides. But I dont just look and copy ; I try to understand.

[novel crow]

I know the basics of a spark build but crafted my own knowing it would be decent

[viscid sage]

I dont have hundreds of hours to put in theorycrafting

[novel crow]

yeah I'm an old bastard so I prefer more rpg and less a in my arpg

[viscid sage]

🤣

[novel crow]

skill issue...

[viscid sage]

I am rusty with skills

[novel crow]

I've played hundreds of hours and still suck, thousands on poe1...

I just accept that I'll never "get gud"

so I need OP builds lol

[viscid sage]

Havent really played POE1. Just a lvl 30 or so

[novel crow]

respect for those guys who can take the shittiest build and still tackle the hardest boss fights

[viscid sage]

I can say that POE2 is truly my 1st hack'n'slash experience

[novel crow]

I saw someone spend 15 minutes taking down uber maven in poe1

[novel crow]

nice, poe* are my favourite games pretty much ever

and I've been playing games on and off for 45 years

[viscid sage]

I Will fall into MH for few week from Monday evening... then Come back to POE

[novel crow]

considering this is an alpha prerelease it's insanely good

[viscid sage]

Indeed

[novel crow]

people are too harsh on it, it's already much better than d4 which has had 7 seasons post official release

I played that while I was waiting for poe2 :P

it was good but endgame was very limited

[viscid sage]

Never tried and tbh never will

[novel crow]

no need, you're already playing the superior game

[brave nimbus]

How do you guys balance resistances when trying to upgrade gear? I have a nice chest but I want to buy a better one. However, this one has 34 chaos resistance which is probably hard to come by? Any help? (78 invoker btw)

[quiet merlin]

Are u stat stacking?

[dusky star]

personally, I'd consider evasion/ES on your body armour pretty important stats as an invoker, assuming you're using lead me through grace - so in that case, I'd want one with better evasion/ES, even if the chaos res is nice

[brave nimbus]

Oh, the question was a little more general - Like how do you handle balancing resistances while swapping out gear?

Also I was generally under the impression that pure evasion on body armor is better? I'm not using lead me through grace yet as I only have 4 points

I feel like my defenses are really lacking but I can't quite pinpoint what's wrong

Stats for reference

[quiet merlin]

Perk tree / gear issue

[novel crow]

he is only lv78

[quiet merlin]

And?

[novel crow]

[quiet merlin]

At lvl 85 which isn't far he could spec into like 80% ene sheild with perks

[dusky star]

pure evasion vs evasion/ES is up to you, I enjoy evasion/ES and it's so easy to scale ES - you having 600 ES is quite low
as for feeling squishy, just getting a good bit more ES/life helps a ton, and you should be able to get your 3rd ascendancy at this point? do it in sanctum, it's only level 60ish and you're 78..
when it comes to balancing resists, it's usually not that hard to do if you replace runes with missing resists (you have like 5 runes to swap around) and they're basically free (except for chaos res), and you can buy cheap res on belt/rings

[dusky star]

you're being dumb, how many divs are invested in your invoker?

[quiet merlin]

I have alot but he clearly has a gear or perk tree issue

[dusky star]

they have all sorts of issues, sure, they're a new-ish player playing the non-stat-stacking variant on a (I assume) very limited budget

so saying "your build sucks" and then linking a 500d+ invoker is a bit dumb, right?

[quiet merlin]

And I have no problem helping him fix it don't call people dumb

[brave nimbus]

1 div ^^

on my weapon ofc

[dusky star]

I would look at some of the invoker guides, there are plenty good ones - it's fine to not go down the stat stacking route at first, it requires far more investment

and you should do your 3rd ascendancy

it's like ~15 levels below you if you do a lowish level 3 floor sanctum

I could hook you up with some div/ex if you want, but also fine if you just want to learn at your own pace

[brave nimbus]

I was leveling to get my level 78 weapon unlocked up until now

[brave nimbus]

It's fine I really appreciate the help

[quiet merlin]

If u want help with your gear just dm me

[brave nimbus]

Some sense of direction, maybe some useful nodes I should pursue, some stats I should pursue - Any advice is welcome

[brave nimbus]

It's fine I'm pretty broke atm, trying to figure out things out at my own pace

[dusky star]

are you using any of the invoker guides?

[brave nimbus]

Currently saving up for crit damage runes on my weapon, so that's around 60 exalts - but I have 1 more div I'm looking to spend on something

[dusky star]

specifically, the non-stat-stacking ones

[quiet merlin]

All good I can help u learn about what u should be looking for or whatever / passive also

[dusky star]

they all have passive trees and notes about what to take

[brave nimbus]

Errr, not as far as the skill tree goes. I'm just working up numbers that's kind of what I like about the game

I just can't really figure out evasion

[dusky star]

well...

maybe you should use them

[quiet merlin]

Tbh don't worry about Evasion to much

[brave nimbus]

This is my skill tree atm

I don't think it's too bad

Getting that final electrecution node down at the bottom and it's all defensives from there on out basically

[quiet merlin]

There's alot u can change for more dps/ ene shield

[brave nimbus]

Damage isn't really a problem, I kind of need that DEX node at the bottom because I don't have enough stat otherwise

Weapon is currently carrying me

Any worthwhile nodes I should chase?

I was contemplating ditching resonance and power charges

[quiet merlin]

Honestly dude I'd respec some points

[long pollen]

Unneeded nodes here

Spend them on some ES

[brave nimbus]

Oh right

[quiet merlin]

There's like 20 points u can respect to better ones

[brave nimbus]

Oh you mean the entirething

[quiet merlin]

Not the whole tree u got alot of good ones everyone uses on builds

[brave nimbus]

Anything noteworthy I should take?>

Like something really obvious ig

[quiet merlin]

Are u using tempest or icestrike?

[brave nimbus]

Tempest

It's electricity with some cold damage

Ice herald shatters

[quiet merlin]

Ima dm u

[brave nimbus]

alrighty

[long pollen]

Ice Strike is your go-to unless you're a Gemling stat stacker

[odd imp]

I rememebr a website that explained the arrangement of skills on a large cluster jewels. Any one know what it is?

[novel crow]

poe1 mechanic

[odd imp]

sorry wrong chat ahha

[novel crow]

we don't have that (yet?) in poe2

[odd imp]

my bad ahha

[novel crow]

np

[sharp jolt]

need to grind for low level spirit gem (lvl 8-11), i think a good place is bone pits on cruel mode, someone has a better idea?

[finite sequoia]

I'm doing a citadel for the first time. Should I set up the precursor towers in range of it, or do precursor towers not matter for citadels?

[minor void]

They still juice the map, but you wanna use a high way stone drop chance map

Like 600% or so

[finite sequoia]

Any other waystone mods that I should aim for besides waystone drop rate?

[minor void]

well avoid anything that'll make the map a murder map, you can also run item quant and item rarity, the typical stuff

it's still a regular map, but just with a boss on it

[finite sequoia]

Ah okay. One last thing: do I get respawn attempts at all? Or if I die, is the map wiped of its boss like on regular maps?

[minor void]

1 chance and the map is gone if you die

[candid escarp]

for carrying someone, i just have to get to the 4th boss on my own then invite them into the room choose area then go fight time guy myself right?

[viral stratus]

Yep, get to last room before zarohk

[undone merlin]

i just got 200 exalted for 1 of these soul cores.holyshitballs

[minor void]

which soul core? if it was the rarity one, you got scammed

[undone merlin]

it was a mana one. sold to currency exchange so probly fair. how much for rarity one?

holy shit 2500 for the rarity one

[ashen lintel]

As a Stormweaver on the trials of Sekhemas i am stuck with Leaking Waterskin and Fiendish Wings which should I choose?

[viral stratus]

Depends how far along, if you're near the end, leaky ain't a big deal

[ashen lintel]

I'm at test of time never got this far before

It's about have way through map before last boss

[narrow idol]

how do people sell those? where do you find them?

[slender brook]

how do I stop it taking amount of items automatically in currency exchange? Im too slow to buy the amount that I want and boom it changes to very high numbers again

[misty flower]

I saved 135 Div how can i improve my build? https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/68ee60dv

[cobalt mesa]

Drop the gloves (they give very little dmg)

Ingenuity

+4 wand

[misty flower]

Oh thats the old one i got new gloves and a new focus

[cobalt mesa]

Are you playing crit ?

[cobalt mesa]

That’s what it’s showing on the link you sent lol

[misty flower]

Yeah forgot o update it

[cobalt mesa]

And I’d drop these

And get this

[cobalt mesa]

For these %ES doesn’t give mana

Only + max ES

[cobalt mesa]

Lrod anoint if you aren’t playing crit

[finite sequoia]

Are the citidel bosses identical to the corresponding act boss, just more health and damage?

[hidden heath]

Yes

Though they dont usually live long enough for me to notice the difference

[forest path]

can someone please give an advise on how to level up blood mage i hit a wall im on level 67 lol

[dusty widget]

Just got this right before the final trial boss (first time here)

this won't work on him right?

[merry plume]

it does

thats how quin69 got his 4th ascendency

[dusty widget]

Holy hell

[arctic crag]

His one shot mechanic can still kill you iirc, because it is a pass/fail collect the orbs test. I Was too scared to test.

[dusty widget]

Feels kinda cheated

[merry plume]

part of the game

[novel crow]

does waystone rarity affect what comes up in ritual altars?

[sudden coyote]

https://www.xbox.com/play/media/Y77RaFdYzs

any idea what happened here??

I juiced this citadel so much just to get deleted

[lucid flax]

If I have the skill point leaping ambush (100% increased critical hit chance against enemies on full life), and the support gem ambush (100% more critical hit chance on full life enemies), does that do anything or no?

[idle hazel]

Ambush is 100% more critical hit chance, Leaping Ambush is 100% increased critical hit chance. More is multiplicative over other stats, Increased is additive with other increases.

Neither one gives you 100% crit chance outright, though.

[lucid flax]

gotcah gotcha

im using both, but should i re allocate the skill point to something else?

[idle hazel]

Up to you. I wouldn't say the point is being wasted unless you're managing to reach 100% crit chance without it, though.

[lucid flax]

im using the support gem for mapping with smaller enemies since my base is only 31%, but switching the gem when fighting rares and bosses.

[dusky plaza]

do catalysts also enhance resistance? e.g does xoph's catalyst also boost fire resistance?

[minor void]

yes

you can see which catalysts can be used for what here for rings https://poe2db.tw/us/Rings

[merry plume]

is there a way to make trial give me more valueble soul cores? or its just rng

[minor void]

Rng

[amber helm]

do more trials faster

[minor void]

You can roll 3x soul cores into a random 1

[merry plume]

ok

[finite sequoia]

Does instilling a waystone with delirium cause the entire map to be foggy the whole time? So, if you instill all your maps, you just permanently play the game in delirium fog and music, except for your hideout?

[novel crow]

yes

most of us do that to all our waystones by the end

[finite sequoia]

Yuck... that sounds awful. All the diverse environments and soundtracks erased for the same old fog and same soundtrack every time

[novel crow]

I usually turn music off by about lv30

and never turn it back on

but yeah the colours and environment I only see when it's a map that already has a delirium mirror in it

and then not for long since I trigger the mirror

[rare flint]

does resistance penetration work like how exposure reduces a fixed % of resists?

[amber helm]

different in that it cannot penetrate into the negatives

so if the enemy has 25% res, you have 50% exposure, and 100000% pen

their effective res is -25%

[rare flint]

so if i have 50% pen and the enemy has 75% resist, their effective res is 25%?

rather than me penetrating 50% of their 75% resist

[amber helm]

correct

yes it is a flat amount

[rare flint]

tyvm for the clarification

[amber helm]

not like you penetrate 37.5% or something

its just a minus

[rare flint]

yeah thats what i initially thought

[mortal plover]

anyone doing breaches rn ?

wanna test if my aurabot works +400% rarity

[bleak jackal]

does anyone have a good filterblade profile? or settings i should change so i won't miss potentially good item drops? i'm running it on uber strict with some changes but i want to at least see t4/5 and above items on good bases and i'm not dropping barely any currency so i wanna see if i can make some more currency from items

[amber helm]

#2┃looking-for-group

[marsh spindle]

Is it confirmed that inventetion to the king drops on level 80+ maps?

[lofty horizon]

I was watching this dude do breaches and his map was marking like exl orbs and stuff as yellow markers. If there an atlas passive or something that marks drops when mapping?

[novel crow]

I had one appear on a t15 a few weeks back, so lv79

[thorny widget]

hey guys could someone please help me understanding how bleed on the bloodmage works (the ascendancy node for bleed magnitude from elemental dmg).

If i understand correctly i still need the usual bleed chance like in poe1 but instead of dealing bleed dmg due to high physical hits could i just invest into high elemental dmg? or do i still need to focus on physical spells to deal most damage and the elemental part is just like a „bonus“ for dmg scaling?

[jaunty void]

Any witch infernalist minion player here. Can you guys take a look at why the damage is low, I can screen share.

[novel crow]

no but thanks

oooh that sounds nice

I only have a 79

haha makes sense

bummer

[peak condor]

any logbook lvl 79 or above can spawn the boss?
and it's supposedly pure rng so i just have to keep trying until it spawns?

[novel crow]

yeah I had him spawn at 79

it may have been luck but what I tried was to always use a different location, and got him 4 times in less than 10 runs

that's apparently super lucky

[tender thorn]

is there anyway to quick swap socketed skills?

[viral stratus]

If you don't put it into your bag or stash, you can move the skills up or down positions on your list

Otherwise, not sure what you're asking for

[novel crow]

presumably it's to switch from mapping to boss mode, using different skills

[viral stratus]

Nothing like that exists. Have to manually change support gems or skills

I like the idea, a saved setup for skills

[novel crow]

the only way is to also switch weapons, and choose the gem skills that go with the alternate weapons

I switch weapons for my moving mode, it has more spirit for a double blink with cooldown reduction

it's great for traversing back on maps or through the corridors of the trials of chaos

[worldly dagger]

What does #% delirious do?

[novel crow]

it decreases the damage you do and increases damage enemies do

Here's how I have my blink set up

use with weapon set II only

but if you need to be using the same weapons, you can't, which is a shame

[dusky star]

The exact effects and scaling of Deliriousness are currently unknown. However, it appears to grant a scaling amount of increased damage, less damage taken, and extra item rarity to monsters.

[novel crow]

in poe1 100% delirious was max, and it equated to 30% more monster damage, and 80% less damage from you

but we have more than 100 now so no idea

[dusky star]

ye, there are probably people on forbidden library testing it to get specifics

but in general, if you can handle it, use it (unless you hate the gray, which is super fair)

[novel crow]

the increased drop rate or perhaps rarity is noticeable

but again we don't know what exactly it equates to

one nice thing about delirium is you can choose specific bonuses, such as more rares, more rarity, more waystone chance etc.

when I have a map with rarity and no extra rares, I delirium it with more rares, and vice versa

and I use waystone chance on citadels

but obviously you need the distilled emotions

tbh I'm not sure if the more/better drops are just because of those or being delirious itself increases the drop rates

I wish this stuff was more explicitly explained

[copper raft]

"You are delirious" adds only a debuff if it wans't changed from poe 1. It only inflicts some penalties to your damage output and you also get more damage from any source.

Maybe delirium fog really affects a drop rate cause it adds affixes on rare monsters.

[novel crow]

roger

that's what I figured, so makes sense to choose curated delirium rather than just some of those random drops which are occasionally purely you are 50% deliriious etc.

[undone merlin]

is experience gained bases on the enemy type and mods on them? so little monsters give you a litttle xp and big monsters give you more xp?

[novel crow]

yes

rares are the bulk of your XP

uniques give a lot more too

[undone merlin]

ok thanks.

[novel crow]

also the modifiers the rares have almost certainly increase their XP, so basically it's proportional to how hard the enemy is

[worldly dagger]

So in general, waystone suffixes also grant better XP?

[novel crow]

not directly

there's no xp scalar from the waystones, but more and harder enemies provide more xp

[dusky star]

(there's the exp gain prefix, which can be boosted if you have full suffixes and the atlas node)

exp gain waystones are very, very good

[worldly dagger]

Well there are increased XP from prefixes, but I was refering more to suffixes which are what affects difficulty directly

[dusky star]

you should always have this node

[novel crow]

this is true, I'd forgoten about that

[worldly dagger]

I avoided those because it ramps up suffixes like less regeneration, sometimes even exceeding 100%

but if their strength raises XP, then most probably it also raises their drops?

[novel crow]

increased effect of precursor tablets is safe, and always worth it

they're the nodes at the top

[tender thorn]

ty this helps!! yea I wanna have a mapping/bossing skill set ❤️

[novel crow]

but you need two sets of weapons

[waxen gale]

anyone doing accendacy runs

[south grove]

Does anyone know +x to bow skill, does that include crossbow?

Or any variant on bow skill

[viral stratus]

Bow and xbow are different. +projectile will benefit both

[brave nimbus]

Is there an atlas guide somewhere? Don't know what to put my points into (got rare + waystone nodes)

[dusky star]

while you're still just going through the maps and getting the points etc. then you can sorta pick whatever
this is a decent "base" for juiced maps later (7 points left to use as you see fit)

[chrome thistle]

Will the hungry fangs kill me if I have one life? Hungry fangs the trial debuff which does 5 percent life energy sheild and mana damage on hit

[lethal summit]

is "% increased number of Monster Packs" relevant for either breach or ritual ?

[warm gorge]

Is this tradeable with +4 or do ppl just search for +5?

[finite sequoia]

I've never used a catalyst before. I want to make sure I understand how it works. If I maxed out the attribute catalyst on this amulet, it would give me 21 all attributes (18 * 1.2 = 21.6) and 39 strength (33 * 1.2 = 39.6), a bonus of 3 and 6, respectively?

[lost hound]

oh i was responding to earlier chat by accident

Does iron citadel have a cool down timer before i can challenge it again?

[analog hinge]

If you fail it/complete it will be done foreva

and you will have to hunt down another won

one

[lost hound]

oh so they just endlessing spawning, and i have to keep hutnig it down til i beat it

[analog hinge]

ya

its a little annoying

[slender ridge]

Can anyone help me get 4th ascended?

[tender thorn]

https://medal.tv/games/path-of-exile-2/clips/jNkdv7w8At6OSKpLs?invite=cr-MSxsc0ssMTE5NjYzNjEs

[brave nimbus]

Should I always run the highest tier maps I can?

[quiet merlin]

If u can clear them yes but your tablets in your towers matter most

[brave nimbus]

I can't find any tablets :/

[viscid sage]

It will come dw

[quiet merlin]

I have like 20 u can have

I don't use rares anymore

[brave nimbus]

It's all g, I'm just wondering where they are I've been saving multiple areas for them aha

[quiet merlin]

I don't even map so

[viscid sage]

Do you have all points jn atlas?

[brave nimbus]

When (ish?)

[brave nimbus]

Uhh I'll SS

[viscid sage]

First look your atlas nodes. Sometimes you will use an atlas to farm tablets and prépare maps

[quiet merlin]

Yeah just keep playing unlock towers and move to next tower

[brave nimbus]

So I should just push for higher tiers and they'll start dropping eventually?

[quiet merlin]

Use highest tier u can safely clear

[brave nimbus]

Yeah this looks great but I still really need waystones you feel me?

[brave nimbus]

Yellow or blue?

[quiet merlin]

Well save your yellows for irritated and corrupted map nodes if u can

[viscid sage]

What tier map are you in atm ?

[brave nimbus]

But I can just upgrade them all to yellow no?

[brave nimbus]

I mean 9 in the atlas quests but I'm starting to push 10 out of sheer boredom

[quiet merlin]

Well yeah but focus on your quests if u have them still

[brave nimbus]

Yeah I do

[viscid sage]

What is your dps ? Defenses ?

[quiet merlin]

Should say map 10+ or whatever

[viscid sage]

If you dont struggle at clearing maps, go until tier 15

Then youre gonna try to make an atlas to farm tablets

[brave nimbus]

Yeah it's just a little scary because they start dealing damage around 10

[viscid sage]

Évasion is very low tbh

[quiet merlin]

Don't worry about Eva

Doesn't matter

Do u have jack of all trades perk m

[viscid sage]

It helps me a lot tbh

[quiet merlin]

Mines 62% and it could be 1 wouldn't make a difference I find

[brave nimbus]

What's that?

[viscid sage]

I am at 81% evasion and 4k es. Feel like its pretty comfortable. I still get hit sometimes

[brave nimbus]

Oh, no I don't

[brave nimbus]

But my strength is garbage anyway I wouldn't be able to leverage it lol

[quiet merlin]

Star at bottem of tree

[brave nimbus]

Not to mention the fact I'm only 80 :P

[quiet merlin]

U should focus getting it

[viscid sage]

Its quite expensive to stat stack straight away isnt it ?

[brave nimbus]

I think I'm very far away in terms of gear

[quiet merlin]

Well considering he's like

280 int 280 dex

[brave nimbus]

This is what I can afford atm, trying to get a solid neck first

[quiet merlin]

He lowers int to match str

He gains dps and es

[brave nimbus]

(yeah but how will I even get enough points anyway)

I'll need 85 at least and then spec out of some stuff too

[viscid sage]

I might do a pob to check

[quiet merlin]

U can respec or just lvl up

[brave nimbus]

Just level up sounds good aha

[quiet merlin]

Won't take long but I would get it if I was you

[brave nimbus]

I need currency anyway, I stopped picking up yellows as filtering them takes way too long (unless it's tier x or something)

[viscid sage]

I am quite a regular monk atm. Gonna check just on pob what it does to my dps

[quiet merlin]

I'm like a 1500 div monk sadly

[viscid sage]

Filter them only on expert

[brave nimbus]

oh yeah its like 18 points away from me X_X

[quiet merlin]

U got this 😊

[brave nimbus]

I forget loot filters exist lol

[viscid sage]

I might not even be 10

Lost 5k dps but gained 99% rarity so... is fine

[quiet merlin]

Iv been sadly tweaking my monk for like 300 hours at this point lol and I have 0 rarity

I also don't map though

[viscid sage]

Cant check time on XBOX since its EA it doesnt appear

[viscid sage]

I do like mapping ❤️ 👀

[quiet merlin]

I refuse to map

I also don't have to though

[viscid sage]

No map challenge

[quiet merlin]

Nothings a challenge 😅

Kinda sad

[viscid sage]

Learning the game is a challenge to me (1st hack'n'slash expérience 🤣 )

[quiet merlin]

It was fun grinding and everything but once u do everything and have good gear it's very boring

I can hardly log in these days unless someone needs help

[viscid sage]

I havent done everything yet. Need citadels and arbiter

To that need quite few dps

Like in jewels

[quiet merlin]

I made 1145 div on arbiter

In like 20 runs

1 drop alone was 700 div

[frigid lantern]

can anyone let me leech some xp please? ChillaaKam

[lethal summit]

how can 1 make it so that my mouse wheel is "left click"?

[viscid sage]

I see what u mean ! Scrolling and go afk for 5 minutes until the map is cleared

[lethal summit]

haha more like selecting tons of waystones in the stash tab quickly

i know it's possible

some people also use it to collect loot from maps

[viscid sage]

In game options dont you see ? Or a macro to activate on the computer ?

[lethal summit]

i do not see it in game nope

so maybe 3rd party sw

[viscid sage]

I guess

[lethal summit]

can monsters that spawn from my waystone having delirium count towards ritual?

[viscid sage]

U mean will Ritual monsters be Delirious ?

[proper tartan]

do quarterstaffs create "pin buildup"?

or in other words: "what the hell is 'pin buildup'"?

[lethal summit]

i mean ritual points count from monsters that came from delirium mirrors

[viscid sage]

It will be specified

[viscid sage]

It only counts for monsters spawning once activating the ritual

[lethal summit]

yes, but those monsters depend on the monster you killed close to the ritual circle

the question is whether or not delirious monsters can count towards those

[viscid sage]

It should I guess

[proper tartan]

ok, so if I don't see any spell mentioning "pin" then it won't matter

[viscid sage]

Exactly

[finite sequoia]

Anyone know if refunding this messes up atlas nodes that were already showing as boss+irradiated due to having this allocated in the past?

[novel crow]

no

it just undoes the map boss only ones

however there's a bug with that passive and some maps don't honour it even when they show the boss icon

[finite sequoia]

Yeah I've had that bug

[viscid sage]

Idk if u can count them as bug, I mean the game knows which ones were altered. Maybe it is just in term of icons

[signal hornet]

Are superior or prime caches better?

[finite sequoia]

Primes are better

[small estuary]

Is economy reset in 0.2 confirmed or just a rumor for now?

[signal hornet]

Ty

[dusky star]

them launching a league is extremely likely, about as confirmed as it can be without them saying "yes" (because they're previously said they will do leagues in EA, and they've said big patches would have leagues)

and it will launch ~3.5ish months from when EA started

[small estuary]

I see, ty.

[finite sequoia]

Are modifiers to item rarity, experience, etc. multiplicative with map modifiers or additive? For instance, if I put a 15% increased experience precursor tablet next to an Untainted Paradise, will that zone have 492% +15% = 507% increased experience? Or 492 * 1.15 = 565% increased experience?

If a waystone has 50% increased item rarity, does a precursor tower that gives 10% item rarity make that 55% or 60%?

If I have 50% item rarity combined on all my gear, and I go into a map with 50% item rarity, do I end up with 75% item rarity in that map, or 100%?

[novel crow]

100 rarity I believe

but I'm not sure

[warm gorge]

What you think is the most useful charm if you can only use one? Im going with stun atm, but thinking about going to golden

[bold viper]

Hi, just a general question about trading. How do I know whether I'm getting scammed out of my currency? Not like literally scammed, but more like buying an item for more than it's actually worth

[novel crow]

stone

golden is useless, it gives rarity after you kill the rare so it doesn't affect the rare's drops

GGG apparently said so and were thinking of changing this but for now it is crap

[amber helm]

ggg needs to figure wtf charms are supposed to do

[high pebble]

The first three months is usually kind of hectic because everyone is just trying to get anything they actually need. Just know that 1d = 500 ex and learn what stat rolls are actually expensive and worth it. These are the two fundamentals that have been helping me thus far. Obviously things will change as time goes on

[bold viper]

Ok, thanks! 👍

[narrow idol]

one guy in the party got to the boss area when I was outside, the clockable mist to get inside didn't appeared

what can I do, I tried to go town and back

[high pebble]

respawn at checkpoint

[narrow idol]

also did that

can't complete the map like this

[warm gorge]

ty. Didnt know that

[peak condor]

could someone recommend me a good map boss tree

[rancid tiger]

This is what I went, I tend to switch between the quantity of items and rarity

[wild iron]

guys does a pure energy shield helmet make a differene

[misty flower]

Is it worth to buy audience with the king for 11 divs?

4 of them

[rancid tiger]

If you can complete them then I'd say go for it

[naive jungle]

Can anyone explain why I can't get t16+maps? I have played probably 15 t15 fully juiced and can't get a 16

[arctic crag]

you mean like an actual T16 drop? I think its corruption only (vaal)

[naive jungle]

Ohhhh that makes sense then

Yes I do mean t16 drop, not once

[arctic crag]

yea for poe2 its only through corruption

[naive jungle]

So vaal a t16 for 17?

[amber helm]

you cant

because all t16s are neccesarily vaal'd

also its just not a thing

[naive jungle]

So how do I progress to higher maps?

[arctic crag]

and when people say t17 they mean t16 with irradiation, corruption iirc

[amber helm]

there are no higher maps

[arctic crag]

thats the highest monster level you can get

[amber helm]

also there are 86 noncorrupt t16s listed, not sure how they exist

regardless actual t17s do not exist in poe2

[arctic crag]

does poe2 have any omen that lets you double corrupt?

[amber helm]

technically rarer than a temporalis (128 online)

[arctic crag]

I forgot

[amber helm]

there is no double corrupt

[arctic crag]

then how did they get t16?

[amber helm]

the corrupt omen just removes the "do nothing" outcome of corruption

[naive jungle]

So I can clear those with my current gear, What else is there to do? I think I should just start a new character 🤷🏻‍♂️

[amber helm]

deli

pinnacles

[naive jungle]

What is deli

[arctic crag]

I shouldnt be here for a while I think I alredy forgot poe2

[amber helm]

delirium

[arctic crag]

delirium

[amber helm]

instill your maps with layers of delirium

then theyll get a little harder

and pinnacles, as i said

if you can do all that sure you can move onto a new character

[naive jungle]

Pinnacle bosses? What do I get from the deli?

[amber helm]

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

these guys

when you instill a map with layers of delirium it adds a delirium % and an upside, like inc. rare monsters

first delirium gives distilled emotions when you fill rewards bars

second it gives quant & rarity bonus to monsters killed in the mist, depending on %

and also beat arbiter

[arctic crag]

I think we both started poe1 together, so arbiter just similar to maven and then each mechanic has a pinnacle boss (Breach, expedition, delirium, ritual etc), and each boss has 4 diffculties and some uniques are pinnacle boss only drops.

[naive jungle]

Okay cool I'll look into how to do all this thanks! I thought I was nearing the end of this character

[novel crow]

I hate the arbiter battle but nothing like I hated the maven battle

[rancid tiger]

You don't love it?

[novel crow]

[viral blaze]

any ideas for cheap combination with megalomaniac proficiency/rapid strike for stacker

[boreal sinew]

I finally have the end game figured out. Would anyone wanna give me a hand running a couple waystones?

[solar atlas]

does resist decrease from passiv tree work also for my minions?

like fire resists decrease for the arsonists?

[glass forge]

Grand Spectrum
Sapphire where to find them?

[amber helm]

what does it say

does it specify minions or allies

if not, no, it doesnt affect your minions.

[wild iron]

any1 know why im not gaining energu

[dusty widget]

Is this a one time thing? Like, I try once, fuck up, then it's gone?

[idle hazel]

If you fail the citadel, you will need to find another one on the atlas to attempt it again, yes.

[dusty widget]

Oof, better prepare then

[dusty widget]

ty tho

[tender thorn]

oh no xD I been dying and just realized my res' are wonky from checking em in the chaos trials and portaling to town midrun lol kept saying my res 80%+, but I wasn't realizing it wasn't even cruel act III

[viscid sage]

I wiped twice in Citadels

[slender brook]

Trial of sekhema, grand spectrum cache

[hidden summit]

@shadow dagger i'm level 85
hold on i'll send you my dps in a bit
also have been trying to tune my equips but i cant really change much out without lots of div

[lost hound]

Okay so i was doing last boss of sekhemas, everything going fine til the boss froze time and summon several hour glasses then auto killed me cuz there no fkin explanation on what to do

What the hell just happened

[hidden summit]

You have limited time to collect the orbs around

@shadow dagger

[shadow dagger]

In terms of DPS you could run multiple Tempest Bells for your single target.

You could also put Rage on your Ice Strike so that it'd be more reliable than on your bell.

I'm not sure what the last 2 supports are on your ice strike.

You have primal armament and then what ?

[hidden summit]

by putting multiple tempest bell, do i have to have multiple tempest bell skill gem equipped

[shadow dagger]

yes

[idle hazel]

Heft and something

[shadow dagger]

and you can't equip the same supports but its still a lot more single target dps

[hidden summit]

inspiration, heft,

i have mana issues if not for inspiration

[shadow dagger]

close combat on your tempest bell would probably be good

heavy swing is also pretty good for tempest bell since you dont care about the reduced atk speed downside

[hidden summit]

do i need a movement skill for the temporal phase?

[shadow dagger]

there are strats for that phase

like move to the furthest one first while you don't have many stacks

so that you reduce the traveling distance under heavy movement reduction

you can also weapon swap with weapon masteries for nodes in ur passive tree that gives movement speed, you can also boot swap if necessary

Tempest bell does more damage the more ailments you afflict on it too so if it's possible for you to get some source of lightning and fire dmg (enough to inflict ailments) then that's a huge dps boost

[hidden summit]

should i remove concentrated effect for heavy swing on tempest bell?

[shadow dagger]

I'm not entirely sure but I do believe critical hits guarantee ignite/shock (unless its different than poe1) so if ur crit chance is high enough you really dont need much added flat fire or lightning

no conc effect is the most important gem on bell for single target dps

[hidden summit]

oh

[shadow dagger]

I suggest adding a second tempest bell skil lgem and adding close combat and heavy swing to it

[hidden summit]

im actually running 2 heralds, lightning and cold, would it be better to remove lightning for 2nd tempest bell

[shadow dagger]

what are the supports on your bell rn? conc eff, rage and glaciation ?

you dont need to remove your herald of lightning

are your skill slots full ?

[hidden summit]

yes this is correct

[shadow dagger]

whats the 4th one ?

can't recognize it, I thought it was ice bite but its on your herald of ice

[hidden summit]

ice bite

[shadow dagger]

oh wait then what is on your herald of ice ?

[hidden summit]

herald of ice is mag effect and shock siphon

[shadow dagger]

ah ok

does your bell actually freeze ?

I don't use my bell to freeze

[hidden summit]

yes most of the time, on zakorth takes awhile

[shadow dagger]

the freeze needs to be inflicted by the bell in order for ice bite to work

ok

if you want to keep it to 1 tempest bell then I'd say you should replace ice bite with close combat and glaciation with heavy swing

however I don't know how that's going to affect your clearing speed for maps

if you use bell to clear

[hidden summit]

i dont use bell to clear anymore actually

[shadow dagger]

ok

then yeah replace ice bite and glaciation for close combat and heavy swing

you should probably put cold infusion, ice bite and glaciation on herald of thunder instead

[hidden summit]

would i still be able to freeze zakorth with ice strike?

[shadow dagger]

yes

as long as you do cold damage

[hidden summit]

ok i'll do that

[shadow dagger]

itll take more time to freeze him though

whats your herald of ice and herald of thunder setups ?

the goal is to have herald of ice inflict shock and herald of thunder inflict freeze so that when you freeze you shock and vice versa

[hidden summit]

magnified, innvervate, shock siphon, longshot > for ice

lightning infusion on thunder

prolly shld replace thunder setup

[shadow dagger]

longshot is useless on herald of ice

well not useless if you have an absurd amount of aoe but it mostly is

you want lightning infusion on ice and cold infusion on thunder

technically speaking it reduces your damage on both thunder and ice but since they synergize by doing that it makes your clear a lot better

[hidden summit]

i see

does it help with bossing too

[shadow dagger]

no

your heralds are mostly for clearing

[hidden summit]

i see

[shadow dagger]

wind dancer would be another good aura you could use

if you aren't already

[hidden summit]

so i should technically remove a herald for zakorth?

[shadow dagger]

are your skill slots full ?

[hidden summit]

yes i have wind dancer grim feast and charge infusion

and combat frenzy

[shadow dagger]

ok yeah you're running 5 spirit gems so I assume your skill slots are full

6 spirit gems*

do you run frenzy and endurance charges or just power charges ?

[hidden summit]

just power charges

[shadow dagger]

and you don't have enough critical chance without charge infusion ?

I would suggest trying to remove charge infusion so you can add a second tempest bell

see if it helps

throw w/e support you can on the second bell but honestly even without supports its gonna be a good damage upgrade

[hidden summit]

how do i check my critchance

[shadow dagger]

check the tooltip of your skills

for attack skills your crit chance is usually based on your weapon's

just like attack speed and damage

unless specified otherwise

on your second bell you could add supports like inevitable crit, added crit damage, etc

[hidden summit]

i have 55% critchance on ice strike without charge infusion

[shadow dagger]

yeah that's good enough imo

you can get a bit more by leveling up too probably

I need to prepare for the race so I'm gonna leave it at that but feel free to ping or dm me if you need more help

[hidden summit]

got it, thanks a lot

[shadow dagger]

👍

Have a nice day

[lost hound]

Is there a way to gear/dps check?

[gray niche]

how much minus resist does ele weakness on maps give?

[fair holly]

Going to do a stash clean ima just dump it all

[lost hound]

@gray niche the most i seen was around 15%

[proper tartan]

I'm confused: I defeated Doryani in in cruel act 3, but how do I get to the mapping stage now?

nevermind

I spoke to doryani twice, but I had to speak to him in the past ...

[lethal summit]

if i have 200+ rarity on my items, is rarity in waystones irrelevant? or are they separate rarity stats?

[sand wigeon]

when people say "economy reset" do they mean all our currencies are remove from our stash? or just that it's a new league and it's a fresh start?

[amber helm]

the latter

new league, fresh start

[sand wigeon]

ah okay, good then tyty

I finally started killing pinnacle bosses I was worried I'd have to start over

[slender brook]

But this one will be available right?

[amber helm]

yeah

[sand wigeon]

speaking of pinnacle bosses, if I can kill Xesht +3 in a few seconds, how hard is Arbiter of Ash?

[slender brook]

How much hp does T3 xesht have, like 20m

?

[sand wigeon]

uh 6mil x3 prob

so yeah maybe 18mil

[wild iron]

whats the price for grand regalia

[finite sequoia]

Is the endgame ritual King in the Mists fight mechanically identical to the act 1 boss, just more health and damage?

[slender brook]

Depends what do you want on it, if it's corrupted, if it's identified

[slender brook]

After phase 1 you're teleported to labirynth, you have to escape quick enough or you will die, there are some glowing orbs guiding you

Might be confusing when played for the first time

[wild iron]

i got it for like 10 ex

4 sockets

[wheat glen]

This means the sockets on the clothing?

or sockets in the passive tree

[proper tartan]

the sockets in the armor itself

[undone merlin]

Really pisses me off having to log out to escape enemies that are being revived from behind enemy lines. if i play with any kind of challenging leveled stones its really fing hard to find the leader especially considering the enemies leader may be a completely unassociated monster. basicaly have to kill everything else in the area with the undying fuckers biting me whole time. its fucked shit

Hate like having to only play at monster levels i can blow thru instantly

do we really fucking need reviving enemies anyway? shouldnt have to log out to avoid bullshit game mechanics

this is another reason they need to get rid of these fucking revivers, circled around and the leader is way behind the where the minions were at the clearing north of me

at the very least the minions need to be next to th fucking leader

[proper tartan]

what kind of character are you playing?

not saying you're wrong

[undone merlin]

circled round and still get fucking killed. fucking quit

[amber helm]

that's tough

[undone merlin]

my ise sorceress and this chaos witch

[finite sequoia]

In the King In the Mists fight, has anyone experienced a weird problem where the wisps seem to lie about which way to go?

[high pebble]

these gloves just broke my dps meter

[proper tartan]

I have those too

attribute stacking gemling is sick

[pliant hinge]

Just kill them and keep running up towards elite?

[high pebble]

currently sitting at 200k ice strike base without buffs. With buffs I hit near 900k

[proper tartan]

yeah, I have only 60k, but on a budget

just made it today from lvl 59 to lvl 79 without any leeching, just solo

[high pebble]

There's not much I can do to upgrade except for breach rings but nobody dropping the stats I need so I'm content for now

[proper tartan]

what lvl?

[high pebble]

60k is still more than enough for T16+

90

[proper tartan]

I'm dong T13 for now

or 14

I also just have 10% chaos res and only 2600 life

48% evasion, 20% armor, almost no ES (200)

[bleak jackal]

how much harder is the trial master vs xest? like if it took me like 3 mins to kill xest how much would it take with the same build to do trial master? someone asked me to help with their ascendancy and i don't wanna invite them just to lose cuz i can't kill him fast enough (as i would run out of mana) i'm a crit invoker so i ignore elem rezistances

[high pebble]

Chaos Innoculation, flask to ES conversion and lots of ES + Eva on armor is what ya missing

[high pebble]

Are you running Elemental Invocation with Eye of Winter?

[bleak jackal]

no, i tried cast on shock with eye for a bit but just ended up keeping blink instead

i can pick elem invocation and swap blink out before boss tho

[high pebble]

try Invocation with Eye of Winter, Deceleration, Chain, and Cold Exposure. Provided you have the mana and DPS you will melt any boss in under 10 seconds

Hit the boss for 4x combo drop bell and eye of winter

[proper tartan]

"flask to ES conversion" do you mean mind over matter or something like that?

[bleak jackal]

i'm fine with mana till the fight extends too much as i got quite a bit on items + got the atk speed+skill cost node on passive

[high pebble]

Eternal Youth

[high pebble]

What's your Tempest/Ice Strike base dps?

[high pebble]

Oh yeah you'll be fine lol

Just don't let the boss 1 tap ya

[bleak jackal]

ye his attacks are easy to dodge even with blink

[high pebble]

your charged staff could be heavily improved

[bleak jackal]

i heard it's not that important so i haven't paid that much attention to it tho, what can i change on it?

got persistence, coursing current, conduction and overcharge

[high pebble]

I'm currently running Persistence, Overcharge, Conduction, Lightning Exposure, Strip Away

The more exposure = more damage overall

since you are an ailment stacking monk

[proper tartan]

still confused how MoM will go with this attribute stacking Gemling...

[amber helm]

lots of int = lots of mana

free hitpool

[proper tartan]

but if I remember from my sorceress you need some other items with it, not sure

[bleak jackal]

thanks, i'll look into getting another perfect jewel to get strip away on it too

[high pebble]

If I have one in my stash you can have it

[bleak jackal]

u sure, those are a couple of divines lol

[high pebble]

there's not much I can do to make my build stronger except level up so it's no biggie

pt me

[bleak jackal]

thanks a lot

[high pebble]

no problem!

[bleak jackal]

by chain you mean temporal chains?

[high pebble]

Just Chain

Dex support

[bleak jackal]

found it, think i mispelled it or smt

[lost hound]

does running maps with allies increase exp gain?

[novel crow]

yes

[coral crest]

running t15 leecher exp welcome u can loot

[bleak jackal]

are the keys stuck in there now lol

won't let me take them out

[high pebble]

Respawn at checkpoint

[bleak jackal]

u mean leave and close the trial right?

[high pebble]

oh I don't think you can take them out

[bleak jackal]

guess i'm buying the left one

[candid escarp]

what gems does lost techniques passive in the atlas passives for arbiter drop?

i cant find a clarification on the wiki or the db

7 thousand damage???? why does that do 7 thousand damage????

i couldn't see the blinking explosive in the moment but its pretty clear watching a recording of it...

🫠

[karmic bronze]

no can be any type, why woould they only be stone citadels?

[candid escarp]

...they said the RED lights

there are red, yellow/orange, and light blue

[arctic crag]

everyone says its blue but it looks white to me

here, people can form their own opinion on what to call these colors, like crimson, ice etc

[glacial crown]

Somebody know any top tier build for Stormweaver/Blood mage endgame?

[slender brook]

It's been some time since this, what items? With mana? Gemlings can have double inherent bonuses from attributes or something like that, with 500 int and no mana item I had 2,7k mana, recovered 2% per kill which made me pretty much unkillable

[novel crow]

what's the best delirium atlas for deli infused waystones?

I currently have this

[distant badge]

For infused waystones this is optimal yes

[novel crow]

great ty

[distant badge]

Damn, that slaps.

The blinking observed is a Large Mob with the stone wheel walking toward you,
What killed you is an explosion from this grenade cluster.

[candid escarp]

yeah i only saw the cluster there while watching the recording, its pretty dim…

if there is one thing (there are many things but still) that poe1 does so much better its pointing out very clearly that something is dangerous

the bad thing will always be bright as shit

[distant badge]

Definitely hard to spot with toned down visuals,
Harder to avoid when lagging due to toned up visuals.

Catch22

[candid escarp]

my shit is running at 50~ in maps with no deli as is 😭

well around 40-50~

[distant badge]

Yeh, u have dynamic culling up from what it looks like, helps fps a lot and for spark it really matters,
But dynamic culling isnt optimized yet, and currently removes some inficators.

For instance this death:

That Guillotine fall is typically indicated, but it doesnt appear at all.

Cuz Dynamic Culling decided a hit marker was excessive xD

Then like, disabling dynamic culling,,, you'd probably have died even earlier cuz you get 25-50 less fps xD

[worldly dagger]

When golden charm is triggered on rare/unique kill, does it count the rare/unique that activated it in the first place?

[distant badge]

Negative,

It only affects kills that follow the rare/unique dying.

Dev stated that it is intended that the charm works for the rare being killed as well, but that there are currently too many mechanics preventing it from functioning this way, for it to be fixed any time soon.

[distant badge]

Best place to use these charms, is when treating them the same as a Headhunter's Heavy Belt.

[worldly dagger]

Did they also intend to make the stun charms prevent the stun that triggers it in the first place?

Tho it doesn't work that way currently, it only prevents the next stuns within the duration

[novel crow]

that is frustrating indeed, but it prevents you getting stunlocked or heavy stunned

so it's still very useful

[compact acorn]

do time-worn jewels get the stat increases only with the passives you have unlocked or all of the ones in range?

[distant badge]

Stun works similar to ailments, where the damage taken relative to EHP of that damage type, within a 3.33s duration will build up to stun you, before then it can build up daze to slow you, or pin you, depending on the type of mobs that are hitting you.

The best way to prevent stuns, is to increase your max hp, or stun threshold +# value - which effectively counts as max life per point 1:1 when calculating stun buildup.

The Charm is suffering from the same issue that the golden charm does, where it activates after the hit/kill and is hopefully on 0.2 or in some distant not too far away future, going to apply to the hit that triggers it as well.

Naturally, evasion is your best friend here too.

[distant badge]

Only the ones that you allocate/activate

[compact acorn]

oh rip okay

[lethal summit]

yo wtf is this

i press esc in king in the mists

and the game doesn't pause?!

[distant badge]

Are you in co-op?

[undone merlin]

how the fuck am i supposed to kill a enemy with heath regeneration that reviving a pack of poisinous spiny crabs. so fucking sick of these fucking reviving cunts

how am i the only one that s hates this bullshit game mechanic?

Ive quit playing multiple times for days or weeks at a time cuz this shit. loveethis game but this is infuriating having to log off and reset the map to escape unkillable bullshit enemies!!

[undone merlin]

am i the only one that fights at higher monster levels than can be immediately slaughtered with no effort?

[undone delta]

If I make another character and get trough campaign, do I need to get once again mechanic points (breach tree, delirum tree points) and atlas points?

[undone merlin]

all trees shared between characters

[undone delta]

ah nice

[fossil bloom]

It’s a flask so it only goes to magic rarity

When I need a new flask I just use the magic orbs until I get something decent. You get so many that it’s not really worth doing anything else

[undone merlin]

someone please help me get GGG to get rid of fuggin reviving enemies so i can play this game without being infuriated. i dont mind dying when i fuck up but dying to unkillable monsters really isnt fair or fun in any way

$100 for whoever gets it removed

[idle hazel]

Depending on the build and gear you've got, any enemy in regular maps can be effectively trivialized. If you're struggling with the reviving enemies to the point of finding them or the rare outright unkillable, it may be that some aspect of your build is lacking and needs improvement. I'm sure people here would be happy to offer advice or suggestions if you're looking for them.

[proper tartan]

yeah, I have to get some more 2% per kill (thinking about this: can you stack those?)

[undone merlin]

i think a lot of it is the fact that any enemies can be paired.this particular instance was one of the burrowing beasts that had health regen on him and spiny cabs revivng and shooting me if i stand still. cant fight burrower unless somewhat stationary.

another bad combo ive gotten was a selfhealing plauge bea rrer whose swarm kept me from even hitting the leader.

minion vaal poison knife men getting revived fuck me up as weel

most everything dies within a second or two. cept a few rares which i have to work on for a few seconds. but when one of the tougher ones is also revivng his minions and regening health its too much

[mental pollen]

not sure if theres /passives in poe2 but maybe try it

could also take of all your gear and if you still have 10 chaos res then you picked that as one of them

or if you have low of 1 attribute take of all your gear and count that attribute on the tree

and if you have 5 more than you count

then you picked +5 to all

not sure about the other ones

[tight folio]

i really struggle with progress. i hit a hard wall with 79. all the waystones i can do are T6-8 and give 30m xp per hour if im lucky. i die a lot randomly cause i get cornered as a warrior and cant escape. feels sooooo frustrating atm. any tips? 🙂

[viscid sage]

Look for warior builds

Understand them

[undone merlin]

if some of you would be so kind as to offer some suggestions for my build here. https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ia3sn0eo

reviving mobs keep fucking me up

really have no chaos resists but i guess im not really sure where to fit it in my gear

[small rune]

you should take altered flesh

and kill the rare that's causing minions to respawn

you also seem spread too thin and/or taking too mana regen nodes

there is a infernalist thread in #1308715058716610580

[undone merlin]

ok on the altered flesh. problem is usualy when the rare has life regeneration as well which causes me to need to attack contantly for several seconds in same place while im being attacked by minions

[small rune]

taking the small nodes over notables in ascendancy is ill advised unless you really know what you're doing

life stacking for any of the beidats are probably good

[undone merlin]

most of the ascendacie nodes seem like there is a major downside like being on fire all the time

[small rune]

but for more info go to the infernalist thread

[undone merlin]

k

[small rune]

grinning immo is definitely underwhelming but it can still proc things like barrier invoc

but even infernal flame does it better last I remember

[undone merlin]

i didnt really understand the internal flame tbh. thanks for the suggestions

[proper tartan]

I'm a lvl 86 gemling and I JUST discovered the spell "Wind Dancer", now I suddenly have like 72% evasion up from like 23%

this game makes me feel so stupid so often

[viscid sage]

So was I when I didnt checked Wind Dancer in POB2

[undone merlin]

are the nodes that say X% to chaos damage accounted for in the dps listed on the particular spell skills? doesnt seem to and figured it would be

[slender brook]

You lose one stage per hit which lowers evasion

[idle hazel]

You lose all stages if hit with a Melee hit, actually.

[slender brook]

Yea even worse

Worse than what I've said above

Is wind dancer even worth it?

[tawdry compass]

does last flame relic drop in lvl79 sanctums?

[dusky star]

if your primary defense is evasion, definitely

[slender brook]

Taking alexiris as example, is it worth for him?

I'm running pure es so idk

[dusky star]

don't know his defense layers - my char didn't need it because gemling stat stacker with atziri, but I still ran it for simu when I wasn't using HoI

it's just a very solid defensive buff

[solar atlas]

does my crit on bonestorm counts for all particles? like when i crit it crits for all or is each individul bonestorm a seperate crit chance?

thinking about if "invetiblae crit" support gem is worth on it

[idle hazel]

Inspect the tooltip and mouse over the 'Sustained' tag, it has that info.

[nocturne rivet]

what are notable passives? are those all passives or just the big ones?

so if I put one here how much spirit would I get?

[idle hazel]

An example of a notable

and Small passives

[nocturne rivet]

ahhh thank you very much! i was so confused because when I put it into maxroll build editor it showed me all passives in radius as green. so I would only get 2 nodes for spirit if I put it in

also does someone know if talents like this that increase dmg of "trigger skills" scale with choir of the storm greater lightning arrow? it doesnt directly increase the dps of my skill description so im not sure

[mental pollen]

yo it locked me in the boss arena after i killed it

is the map bricked?

[proud gorge]

Level 77 Trial of Chaos is supposed to give you your 4th ascendencies points, right?

I just beat all 10 areas, collected some random gear and did not get a tome to get my last 2 points.

Do you have to beat it enough times to collect the 3 fates and kill the Trialmaster to get the 4th ascendencies?

[idle hazel]

You need to kill the Trialmaster for the last set of points, yes.

It should say as much on the Inscribed Ultimatum text.

[proud gorge]

Yeah, once you realize there is something passed the last bird, the text on the Ultimatum clearly says that, but before you get there, it's not obvious what that meant.

[novel crow]

log out, do NOT open a portal

then you can go back in through the original portal

oh that was half hour ago

[mental pollen]

will keep in mind for the future ty

[bleak jackal]

how do i get my 8th boss point? is it from a citadel boss?

[radiant fractal]

is anyone here a high level stormweaver over lvl 85+ who could possible help out with my build? I just started playing again but i know when i stopped i was having issues with damage, I was able to beat trial master at lvl 85 but it took longer than i want.

[finite sequoia]

What determines how many monsters spawn on a ritual altar when you interact with it?

[candid escarp]

how does the full specced arbiter tree look? is the first point the middle or is that a free point?

[frigid lantern]

So is it just safe to say that it’s impossible to get a 5L unless you play all day every day?

[arctic crag]

The bottom most point? You start with it for every sub tree and it does nothing.

[candid escarp]

the bottom most?

[arctic crag]

Well I guess expedition starts in middle because its design is like that but still does nothing,

Like the tree in the picture for boss has 6 allocated points.

[candid escarp]

oh im dumb, i didnt see that starting point LOL

i thought the middle was the start, whoops

should i just triple prong up top eventually then?

[arctic crag]

For arbiter I am like 90% sure it is bottom, only expedition starts in middle and fans out.

hmm i dont remember the nodes let me check on a planner but I think you go straight and then pick a side

*as in that is what the popular strat was

[candid escarp]

the bottom 2 are a corrupted precursor and 3 additional waystones

both seem kinda ass

[arctic crag]

So inn thsi people go uniques first

the middle node is kinda unskippable

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/atlas-tree/

[candid escarp]

im sayin this

is the precursor tab more important then it looks tho or no

[arctic crag]

tbf all of those are decently valuable iirc. You can check in trade. I am trying to remember what I chose

I think mayebe socket currency but corrupted waystones are also pretty rare

might be profitable to go that way too

[candid escarp]

really? corrupted waystones matters?

[arctic crag]

I personally havent traded gems that much so I didnt choose that side at all

[candid escarp]

but you have t15 sustain at this point?

[arctic crag]

sorry I mean corrupted tablet

[candid escarp]

+to spark is a liiiiitle too expensive to just buy... i gotta get it somehow

[arctic crag]

the bottom right is tablet right?

yea it is

[candid escarp]

yes

[arctic crag]

let me go to poe2db to see which one was trading for a lot

but usually the pinnacle boss drops go down in price as league progress and more people have acces to farm it themselves

[candid escarp]

it'll probably net me no value before i hit this exact jewel but even a +1 for my skill is... stupid expensive

im almost at doing my first arby's fight, dunno how beefy it'll be with my current gear

[arctic crag]

Idk what I was thinking lol, it was always rarity and max mods

I spent so much time trying to google and rememember

and looks like corrupted tablets arent that expensive anymore

[arctic crag]

sekhemas is probably the easiest strat

[candid escarp]

on the grind there rn lol

[arctic crag]

you need good relics, some practice and knowing what boons/afflictions are good. That is all I did for endgame.

[candid escarp]

but its tough, only getting ASS

[arctic crag]

you need to set up relics for it

I feel like I've already forgotten but I had ~110% quantity of relics dropped, reduced merchant prices and merchant has additional choices

the strat is to basically find the "enchanted urn" boon so you can get 3 unique relic drops from the boss.

The vase relic used to sell for 3.5d and i sold my only last flame for 280, idk if its gone up or down now.

[candid escarp]

vase down flame up

but flame is a pipe dream anyways so

[arctic crag]

jeez 485 https://pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/yq7BVwlSR

[candid escarp]

also all the relics are constant ass it sucks, so many runs and my relics are only mid overall

[arctic crag]

you basically just do this and no maps, that is what I did, then when I sold a flame I bought whatever I liked and entered maps and crushed all bosses

Only those 3 things needed, you can skip the resolve resistance thing too

[candid escarp]

i have like 22% merchant down but no additional choices… and my relic quantity is like 18%?

[arctic crag]

especially considering spark is the one that does the no hit runs

ok yeah you want to get close to 100 as possible.

[candid escarp]

because a half decent relic quality relic is like asking to drop a last flame it seems

it doesnt exist

[placid stone]

Hey guys, how do I get the final 2 points on my boss skill tree? I have 8/10 at the moment.

[arctic crag]

I think 120 or 130 has like a 95% chance for 3 relics, Lotte shouldve said it in this channel.

[candid escarp]

arbiter of ash

[placid stone]

That's the one with the 3 citadel fragments right?

[arctic crag]

I can check tomorrow, been too into poe1 so I think I'll only be back for 0.2. Or worst case I can lend you relics and IF at all I decide to come back to poe2 you can give them back to me.

[candid escarp]

yes

[placid stone]

Cheers

[arctic crag]

yea you need that quant to 100%

[candid escarp]

i got 4 three talls and a 2 tall and 2 2 longs

[arctic crag]

I actually remembered after runnign wuth found relics for a long time, I finally traded and got like a bunch of 19/20% ones. You can just have my old ones, should be like 14-16% each

Ping me tomorrow

[candid escarp]

is there a trick to getting higher % ones more overall?

like is it only in the time trial or

[arctic crag]

no tricks really, item rarity could help though people would say it doesnt

because you can get unid tiered magic relic drops just like flasks

[candid escarp]

the tiered drops ive only ever seen 2

and they sucked anyways :(

[arctic crag]

I think any ilevel about either 79 or 80 can roll highest tier of mods fore quant

you can double check with poe2db

[candid escarp]

damn so really is just only bad luck…

[arctic crag]

they are just very rare

gotta grind it like any other endgame activity

I personally thought it was profitable. The vases were 2-3d, then theres also possibility of time lost and spectrum jewels

[candid escarp]

all these 8-10% are driving me mad…

[arctic crag]

I wanna say it was like 1d per run almost and maybe even 2 if you have better quant

[candid escarp]

ive only even seen a timelost cache my first attempt then never again so far, its wild

[arctic crag]

a last flame drop will skew it completely but just saying without it

yea same, I got one like every other run the first 4-5 runs then only saw them about once in 10 runs

There seem to be some hidden rules or oculd just be coincidence. Like if you get a gold royal cache before 4th room it seems to never give time lost or spectrum etc.

[candid escarp]

its crazy ive only gotten a single vase so far

three gaunlets in a row in trial floor 2! this promotes such a healthy continued life! fucking kill me now

lost 3k honour because i gave up caring at that 3rd gauntlet and stopped avoiding anything and bull rushed through

this shitty room is so frustratingly BORING

[fossil bloom]

I’ve done around 20 and seen 2 trials with time lost chests

One of them had 3 lol. And I’ve one spectral so far

[candid escarp]

i hate these runs so much

4 fucking gauntlets and you can go fuck yourself game

[candid escarp]

...why are there only 6% reduced merchant price relics on trade?

[amber helm]

that would indicate that the lower possible tier rolls 6% and lower?

[candid escarp]

well i didnt check but there is only 6% at highest which is what i checked

[amber helm]

there is another tier that goes to 10%

[candid escarp]

THE POINT IS, why are there zero at all period?

[candid escarp]

NOT THE QUESTION, I DONT CARE ABOUT SEMANTICS

[amber helm]

are you asking for why there aren't any 1-5% reduced?

[candid escarp]

NO

that was never the question!

[amber helm]

... could you repeat/rephrase it then, because i didnt seem to understand.

[amber helm]

zero at all period of what?

there is 7, 8, 9, 10%

idk what you mean by "only 6% and lower"

[candid escarp]

...the trade site is just not set up correctly is what im seeing

"increase" merchant price?

???

??????

why set it up like that

[drowsy zenith]

yes you have to put in a negative number, same for increased attribute req and increased bleed dur on you. something about edge cases most likely

[novel crow]

yeah stupid, increase can be negative

[candid escarp]

this could be easily fixed for confusion by making the mod “increase/decrease”

[amber helm]

yes

decrease is negative increase

this is true for literally everything in the game

it's a display thing

when increased goes negative they make the display say reduced instead of -#%

same thing for when if it rolls 0 they just hide the mod

but yk it is just

a minor inconvenience

now you understand it

[silver glen]

In trials of sekhamas do I have to clear the test of strength doors too to get my Ascendancy points or can i leave and get them after I clear the first trials boss?

[iron karma]

do we know the cap on harbinger cooldown on idols?

[amber helm]

#1┃endgame-help

[iron karma]

my bad i cant read channels apparently

[candid escarp]

how should i set up relics for relic quantity versus merchant price down?

all the tall ones are merchant price and boss takes more damage

the seals are relic quantity
