[keen pilot]

i love that part of poe1

[timid cloud]

But yeah, I imagine I just don't agree here. So meh.

[quiet shadow]

what antares said, ascendency being the only variation, and quite limited as well

[keen pilot]

finding those 2 uniques that work together

and making cool build

here i dont really have that, synergies are very obvious and clear

except few

that are patched cuz ggg doesnt want obscure stuff

in poe2

[hot knoll]

when one player breaks that opinion then ppl will just hug it

theres simply not enough good uniques right now anyway

(i know what i want)

[river violet]

I guess my point is that some stuff is just very strong for one axis (dps, defense, smoothness, gearing, etc). And dps is a very popular axis to scale. So you'll have a lot of people picking the nodes that give the most dps. I don't see that as being forced. You're choosing to go for more dps over other stuff

[hot knoll]

ryslatha's coil for dps personally

[keen pilot]

its same for defense though, some nodes are very good for what they give and some are very lackluster

e.g. 200% armour on crit

[hot knoll]

your weapon this time around will carry over passive tree

[keen pilot]

you take that cuz its nice placed and good

[hot knoll]

its GGG's solution to ground drops

[keen pilot]

if you are armour

[hot knoll]

otherwise we return to a currency based game that POE1 bench does

with zero care of ground drops unless you are smart and you tag it on your filter

[keen pilot]

i think we're already in currency based game again

cuz nobody wants to craft in this system

i guess its better

[timid cloud]

I like crafting

[keen pilot]

cuz ppl pick up rares

i can agree here ig

[hot knoll]

you do

[river violet]

Yes, mathematically some nodes are stronger than others. Once you decide (not being forced) to invest X% into offense, Y% into defense, and Z% into qol/utility, then yes, there will be a mathematically optimized set of nodes/skills/supports/etc.

But you choose what to use for X, Y, and Z

[timid cloud]

Its really complicated though.... so I don't know anyone else IRL that bothers with it

[hot knoll]

theres just less room for failure with limitation

theres craftofexile to practice

[quiet shadow]

what are you even saying

[keen pilot]

i would rather have more unique choices than "i put more in offense than defense"

[quiet shadow]

there is no crafting in the game, we're recombinating and exalting differently

[hot knoll]

? lol

[quiet shadow]

"uhh but, if you use a greater essence of chaos you can guarentee chaos res on ammy

[hot knoll]

theres high level crafting in this game, if you wage it properly

[keen pilot]

whole crafting is slamming with extra steps

high level needs trading

[quiet shadow]

show me an example right now

[hot knoll]

again i come from ruthless POE1 so im used to harder odds with even less currency

[keen pilot]

and gambling omens

[quiet shadow]

that isnt whittling

[timid cloud]

I do agree that it feels like uniques are kind of not that interesting this patch, but I know they were trying to work on early game uniques this patch and have plans for more late game stuff

[quiet shadow]

You keep talking like that, but you're no different from the rest of the players

[hot knoll]

ive posted my results above anyway with little currency

[quiet shadow]

place the picture right now

[hot knoll]

sure

[quiet shadow]

and tell me what did you do

[jaunty crystal]

gambling wise i like the crafting system xd

[keen pilot]

especially on SSF, omens are literally unachievable

[timid cloud]

I don't even understand what you're asking lol

[hot knoll]

im ssf and i have not used a single omen on crafting

i dont need it

ill save those omens for end game crafting

[quiet shadow]

yes, beacuse you slammed

[keen pilot]

i mean you can gamble otherwise

[quiet shadow]

oh man what crafting

[keen pilot]

thats only other way

[hot knoll]

i slammed ???

you think i didnt calculate this ?

come on dude, im not ben or alk they can hit even better

[keen pilot]

lol

[timid cloud]

You can use essences to shape it a certain way... you can use recombobulate, fracturing, chaos, and more.

[hot knoll]

i used none of that

[keen pilot]

sometimes i think i just got different version of the game

[timid cloud]

Do you want it to just be like WoW where you click a button and go to sleep?

[hot knoll]

i know how to calculate ground drops to affixes

[quiet shadow]

you still haven't said your steps

[hot knoll]

sure

[timid cloud]

Go look up a guide lol

[keen pilot]

his steps are ID, equip

i assume

[timid cloud]

You guys are just being dense.

[keen pilot]

i craft my whole equipment every league on poe1

sorry for being dense

that i cant do it in poe2

[quiet shadow]

dude, I play HC, i've played PoE 1 done close to mirror tier crafting, I sell drops easily on Poe2, I'm at endgame

[keen pilot]

or rather i can but im buying omens from trade

[hot knoll]

ID magic/transmute and hit my no.1 affix, slam 4 affixes, fracture, if not hit the phys flat , i will then annul to hard roll chaos orbs to hit my 1st preference

[timid cloud]

This guy just said he did that... so maybe learn how to do it in POE2

[keen pilot]

so gambling

[hot knoll]

you need 700 blue crossbows to hit the no.1 affix

[keen pilot]

its not deterministic at all

[quiet shadow]

You absolutely just gambled your way through, nothing of this was actual crafting

[hot knoll]

no, you control the RNG itself by simply grinding

[keen pilot]

so below 1%, thats what i was saying about insane time sink before

[hot knoll]

and then transmute to hit towards the 700 mark

[quiet shadow]

You "simply" found your item, and slammed it, this is nothing like PoE1 crafting

[hot knoll]

in POE1 you need 10000 transmute

[keen pilot]

no, you need alts

lmao

[timid cloud]

Yeah, its not deterministic. Doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

[hot knoll]

no you pick up white items to reach it

this is not a deterministic game

[quiet shadow]

You're acting like I haven't done that

[timid cloud]

It can exist, and it can still just be something you don't like.

[hot knoll]

you control the RNG

[keen pilot]

thats not controlling rng, thats sinking enough time that you eventually hit

jesus

[quiet shadow]

If i do it a million times, i'm sure to get it once

[hot knoll]

what are you playing for then ?

[jaunty crystal]

is it bad?

[hot knoll]

you want it that easy ?

theres d4 for that

[keen pilot]

if time is so long that i need to sit 16h/day to get anything, yeah i find it bad

[timid cloud]

Just because you don't like something doesn't mean its bad lol. Jeez this community.

[keen pilot]

and d4 comparision is so annoying

i dont want it to be d4

i just want to craft my items without trade

or being lucky

[hot knoll]

you can either learn or you whine

[keen pilot]

its not learning, i did it many times

[timid cloud]

Maybe Hello Kitty adventure would be better

[keen pilot]

jesus

[river violet]

May I interest you in Last Epoch?

[keen pilot]

ive played LE a bit this season but i dont like combat that much

[hot knoll]

last epoch is loot pinata, which unironically one of the designers of LE is one of the best ruthless HCSSF players

[keen pilot]

poe2 got this right tbh

[river violet]

I tried LE and the campaign bored me to tears

[jaunty crystal]

but i mean you can gamble-craft your sub-optimal stuff way quicker, more optimal stuff will take time, isnt that the main beauty of such games?

[hot knoll]

so i have respects for LE too, because of karv is such a great POE player

lets not diminish LE the designers know how to play

[keen pilot]

i prefer having more deterministic way to get my items if i accumulate bases/items required, thats the part that poe1 does well imo

[river violet]

I respect Karv, but I don't like the game they made

I can do both

[hot knoll]

same lol, i dont like loot filter

[keen pilot]

i just personally dont like current "crafting" and thats all

[hot knoll]

but i still enjoy LE anyway

its just not d2/ruthless POE for me

[keen pilot]

its not enjoyable for SSF gameplay to be gambling astronomical odds as crafting

[hot knoll]

its not fair to shit on POE2 loot when one of the LE designers eat less loot for breakfast every ruthless league

[ember wraith]

What’s a reasonable level to attempt lvl 80 inscribed ultimatum? I need my 3rd ascendancy and I refuse to do trial of sek it’s just so slow and boring

[keen pilot]

depends on your character

level wont change that much, its mostly gear check

[river violet]

I have a tin foil hat theory that if everyone tried hcssf for two weeks there would be far fewer complaints about loot and "crafting" in poe2.

Partly because of the change in perspective.

But mostly because the majority would quit

[jaunty crystal]

some people find it more appealing, gambling dopamine and so on

[hot knoll]

agreed

[ember wraith]

I’m a LA deadeye with pretty good gear and I’m lvl 75, should I be fine? I have high evasion and very good DPS (one shot most packs in T10 maps and kill boss in seconds)

[hot knoll]

POE is a hard series and if its gonna be that easy they lose all their credibility

[keen pilot]

glad you enjoy hcssf gameplay but not everyone must have to

[ember wraith]

I think I just need to not take bad ultimatum modifiers and I should be fine right?

[keen pilot]

and i dont think making gambling primary way of crafting makes game hard

[river violet]

I never said they had to, but playing hcssf would make you enjoy non-hcssf more

[delicate lion]

after reading through some of this, I'm very glad we don't have players balancing the game, especially this type

[keen pilot]

i dont think so, but we can just agree to disagree

[delicate lion]

alota yikes takes here

[quiet shadow]

I've played HCSSF and it made me appreciate PoE 1 for what it is

[hot knoll]

if you arent there for early POE1 trust me its wayyyyyyy harder

[river violet]

If your first experience with poe2 was spark archmage then nothing else is going to feel better, likely ever.

Resetting your brain, "detoxing" from zoomy builds, that's what I'm a proponent of

[hot knoll]

its still harder now

[keen pilot]

i havent played spark archmage in 0.1

but okay

[timid cloud]

Yeah the longer I've been around... I'm glad devs ignore 99% of what most communities say. They often do know better.

[keen pilot]

i didnt find it representive of poe2 gameplay

[hot knoll]

GGG comes from d2 , which on /players 1 loot is fucking worse

[keen pilot]

same as havent played LS in 0.2 yet

probably wont

[hot knoll]

that why theres still ID scrolls

[river violet]

That was just an example. If you play any "op" build that zooms with medium-low investment, then anything that doesn't meet that standard will likely feel less fun, no?

[keen pilot]

intended by devs i mean

[hot knoll]

this is 2nd season of POE2, if your new to it the least you can be inspired by is to do better next time

[keen pilot]

?

[hot knoll]

i only learnt about juicing towers 2 days ago, i can be even faster next league lolz

[hot knoll]

its about getting better and trying harder next league

[keen pilot]

maybe, i played a few off-meta builds and it felt miserable so

[river violet]

I had the experience of going from OP to trash on one character, even. Rakestomp fell off hard during act 2 and now it feels meh in act 3. I rerolled

[keen pilot]

or idk if i can call it off-meta, more like trying to make unworkable stuff work

[hot knoll]

i respect the HCSSF player stuck on campaign for 500 hours more than a sc trade player

[river violet]

We're not so different, you and I

[merry plume]

does adorned affect prism of belief?

[keen pilot]

you're one step higher than me* in being stubborn trying to make those stuff work on HC tho 😄

[hot knoll]

and yes , noobs do play HCSSF

[river violet]

I get we're kinda on the same "side" here, but wtf does your respect have to do with this lmao

[arctic valve]

Rakestomp is def a “get through 2 acts then drop it” build for the most part imo

[hot knoll]

the determination mate

[keen pilot]

sc gives you some safe ground to fail on dumb builds at least

[hot knoll]

it hits harder than landing determination the aura gem

it takes a special person to go through this punishment against the better choice to learn the game on sc

[keen pilot]

adorned works only on blue/magic jewels no?

[merry plume]

i see i see. thanks

[hot knoll]

if you get stuck on hc on campaign for 500 hours and still have fun, you win

and x20 deaths

i respect them too , standing for solidarity

[blazing bronze]

No

[hot knoll]

unfortunately some players do the hard yards

i know players that only play HC from ground zero and they are top 50 on hcssf right now

[narrow marsh]

does reaver/attack catalyst improves flat damage on rings?

[hot knoll]

yes , you can test it yourself on craftofexile

[keen pilot]

https://puu.sh/KsmVC/343410b7c3.png

yes

[daring geyser]

I've died over 250 times I think levelling this current build of mine

[hot brook]

do passives from the tree for minions only matter when they are created? Can I use set 2 for unearth and keep other things on set 1 or will the minions be effected by the current tree?

[daring geyser]

[daring geyser]

Unearth snap shots I believe

[hot knoll]

gotta respect players who die and still continue against all odds

if your not just doing t1 waystones to level 90

[fierce forge]

Hey guys, I am entering maps and struggling a lot with mana. Constantly chugging flask, and even running out of charges I'm chugging so much. How can I make that better? https://poe2.ninja/pob/4da7

[hot knoll]

you either manually hit that mana potion or you solve mana itself

there should be mana buffs if not mana leech on attack

i use mana leech on my skill but not sure about spell

mana leech should solve your mana issues if it does for your skill gem

[jaunty crystal]

look for mana regen in items mods, if you can add mana regen spirit support gem

[hot knoll]

mana regen support gem is the last resort because you want to replace that gem for more DPS

nothing else then you slot it

[jaunty crystal]

but as temporary solution why not

[hot knoll]

yah just temp

[jaunty crystal]

just from the items i guess its budget build, so whatever you can get xd

[hot knoll]

just mana potion recover

[keen pilot]

they alrdy use clarity

[crystal wyvern]

for unleash, what determines cast time? it says 200% of cast time, is that the base cast time on the gem it is supporting ? is modified by increased cast speed?

[hot knoll]

you need to hit much less to top up mana

[quiet shadow]

did any of you even click the link? he's got clarity already, he just needs a better ring, mana mod on wand + 3rd lab and he's good

[hot knoll]

unleash says what it does on the tool tip, cast speed affects it

[crystal wyvern]

so if i have really fast cast speed unleashed could be up very frequently?

[hot knoll]

yes, if you hit it

it should already boost your skill dps alone

[cinder tusk]

i will give 1 div for carry me in 5/6 and 7/8 ascendancy

i swear these fucking eu servers are the worst enemies here

[jaunty crystal]

noone offers after carry payment?

[crystal wyvern]

ignighted ground means that enemies in the area are ignigted automatically right?

[fierce forge]

Do I just want flat mana on ring and wand?

Or is mana regen better?

[patent rivet]

why is simalacrum so much more difficult than the other mechanic bosses

[timid cloud]

Fair question.... dunno.

Doesn't seem super hard for all classes though, but yeah its rough.

[frigid lantern]

Got my Last Trial For my 4th ASC Points Trial of chaos i died once and it was over i thought i had more chances do i not ?

[timid cloud]

Nope, 1 and done

[quiet shadow]

both if possible

your third pair of ascendency points gives you a bit of increased regen for every 25 mana

[frigid lantern]

@timid cloud is it hard to find another one ?

Like a divine or is it easier to find

[timid cloud]

Another what?

[fierce forge]

The build actually respecs that ascendency passive to take the "all hits shock" passives

I'm sure 1 more jewel with 2% mana regen on kill would also help

And more flat mana helps with making that 2% more

[frigid lantern]

@timid cloud Trial sekhema or Chaos For the 4th ASC points

[earnest light]

I am in the boss gauntlet unique map and the final boss spawned inside a tree root, i can't deal damage to him and my totem don't see it, can i do something to not lose the map? i need the atlas points

[timid cloud]

I just pay for mine. Ain't nobody got time for that.

[timid cloud]

My first character I spent like a couple days working on the last 4 points. Sucks to get to the end to realize that you're just not really strong enough yet

[frigid lantern]

Yes i thought i was strong enough then i was one shotted

[quiet shadow]

Try and see what feels better, if you can get the gear, the shock is def more damage. If mana is a hard issue, no harm in taking it and respeccing later

[fierce forge]

Maybe I have to cast spells less if things die in 1 hit, so more damage is really saving on mana

[jaunty crystal]

you can also use lower level skills until you find better solution to mana regen

[civic lagoon]

Any Witch builds that aren’t the usual Choas/Essence Drain/Dark Effigy ones that can do all content in the game?

I know there’s a crit chance Bone one which I might check out, but I’m wondering if there are any others

[zealous pasture]

anyone knows what pinnacle bosses resists are? Is 72% res penetariation on main dmg skill an overkill?

[gloomy sparrow]

Any one k ow how much crit hit I should have on a lighting arrow deadeye build

[hollow dragon]

would i get more currency if i choose to sell items with higher item levels

[safe magnet]

If I defer an item and switch character, will I encounter the defered item on the other character aswell?

[river violet]

As much as you can get without losing other things you care about or lowering your overall dps.

Poe is all about opportunity costs. For example, sometimes getting 1% more crit chance means giving up 50% increased damage. You'd have to do the math and see if that crit chance is worth losing 50% inc damage. Same thing for survivability.

There is no target to aim for except, "Whatever gives you the most dps for your buck"

[ember wraith]

Is ultimatum just the worst thing in the game or am I just bad

ridiculously unfun and boring getting 1 shot on 9/10 by a ranged attack on a 2,000 hp character with 80% evasion

[merry plume]

u need to know how to run it properly. it is quite rewarding

avoid pyramid bean, volatile thingy, and depending on the defenses u are building, avoid some of the debuff choices.

and from what i heard, evasion is preety bad on its own

[ember wraith]

yeah evasion is terrible and so is ultimatum, I just want my damn ascendancy points

this and trial of sek are both miserable to do

just so boring and long with extremely huge time risk if you die to bs

like I do not understand how it is intended for a rare monster to do my entire 2k hp in under a second when I am on level with the encounter

literally stage 2 with zero modifiers affecting monster damage or my resists, I have 75% fire res lmao

[crystal wyvern]

I know there’s a way to turn spell damage into life leach. But is there something that turns spell damage into mana leech? Or that converts life leach to mana leach or mana leach in addition to life leach ?

[merry plume]

u can use blood magic to turn spell cost to life

then focus on life leech.

[ember wraith]

Please please please genuinely someone explain how I get 100 to 0d here instantly to an attack I literally could not see??? I have been having a blast mapping and might die once every 10 maps, but have lost about 10 ultimatum runs in a row and cannot ascend

[inner storm]

Guys anyone can tell me how to.inyeract on the maps expeditions ? I cant figure out how to interact

[fading timber]

What's the green thing next to the coming calamity? Is it an anioment passive

[amber helm]

one of the distilled emotions needed to anoint the notable

those three emotions are what u need

[fading timber]

What's distilled emotion of disgust ? Is it an anointment

[jaunty crystal]

that is formula of distilled emotions to get that passive perk on your amulet

you can assign 1 passive perk to amulet (so you dont have to path your passive tree to it)

[mighty mountain]

is it important to try to get to 75% chaos resist for t15 maps?

[spice delta]

Are the boss tablets bugged? I placed 5 +1 modifier +1 azmiri whisp . Now some nodes only have +3 modi is this working as intendet? I mean the other tablets give bonuses to all nodes or not?

[spice delta]

If you dislike dieing or you are a ritual enjoyer then jes

[crystal wyvern]

Can you anoint an amulet with a keystone passive like blood magic?

[idle hazel]

No, only notables.

[crystal wyvern]

Can someone take a look at this build real quick and tell me how they’re dealing damage? Is it really firewall? https://poe2.ninja/builds/dawn/character/Korebile-1237/Curse_Mana_Stacker?i=0&search=sort%3Dmana%26columns%3Dcharacter%2Clevel%2Cmana

[cobalt plover]

anyone found a solution to the travel to the corrupted nexus bug

[spice delta]

Find another one

that seems like a dream

no proof of somebody that actually found another one

[ember wraith]

why can I not go here

[novel crow]

bug

[civic lagoon]

When buying items off PoE trade, is it best to avoid buying items that already have max quality on them?

[amber helm]

why would you do that?

[civic lagoon]

I’m not entirely sure what quality does to certain items so I figured it increases some of the stats..?

My thought process was that an item listed with max quality which has the same stats as something with no quality would be bad value

[amber helm]

see https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Quality

[hot knoll]

can i reforge lower essences to greater essences ?

tried reforging 100 of them didnt get a single one wonder if anyone has managed to hit it

[sterile latch]

Has anyone else gotten consistent failed to connect to instance errors when loading maps? It goes away when I switch servers, but then its just super laggy and not fun to play

[novel dagger]

EU? Some funny things is happening over at EU

[sterile latch]

nah its been happening on the Washington DC servers

Ive had this issue for like a month now and idk

its just this every time

[spice leaf]

Please confirm if this is correct: Shouldn't "ailments you inflict deal damage % faster" mean 'more damage? so 14% faster poison = 14% MORE poison damage

[amber helm]

yes

but the duration is less

you need to keep applying faster

[spice leaf]

So only good if you have lots of attack speed?

[amber helm]

depends on the build obv

but in general its a very strong stat

[spice leaf]

im deciding on what Jewels to buy for poisonburst arrow :p

[amber helm]

if you can still continue applying your maximum number of poison stacks consistently it's a straight damage boost

[spice leaf]

but the damage numbers don't go up on PoB so I was confused since it sounded like a powerful mod

[amber helm]

that would make sense for poe1 poison but poe2 poison should benefit from it

[spice leaf]

you VERY much

[amber helm]

link pob, it shows as giving more damage for me

[fresh oak]

hello anyone having a bug everytime about to enter ziggurat encampment from sandswept marsh in act 3?

it always force close

[spice leaf]

Im testing by adding a jewel with the mod

but no numbers on burst dps

same with the tree

[left ice]

hit T6 maps and got stopped as smith - do i need to just switch of two handing and use one hand and shield to not get one shot?

[novel dagger]

you got other problems with your setup, low life pool, low resists, deliberately play dangerous maps, etc
post your setup, eg: show your character panel so people can comment about it

[hollow dragon]

what can i do against azak stalkers? their attacks are ludicrous

[left ice]

facts

i feel like its my life but my skills are just too slow if i get surrounded

[long sonnet]

looks like you're misssing the sidequest for spirit?

[left ice]

which one? i dont remember skipping bosses

[long sonnet]

azak bog 2 electric boogaloo

[left ice]

omfg i did skip it thank you

really thought i did it

[novel dagger]

2.3k for a STR melee definitely feels low. That is range for non-str ranged builds tbh.
but then again dps is a form of defence, can check out what people are doing on poe2.ninja for references
filter to skill you plays
compare your gear with theirs
https://poe2.ninja/builds/dawn?class=Smith+of+Kitava&sort=life

[left ice]

thank you! i have tame beast on for haste aura cause i saw some streamer doing it but i dont think its worth the dex investment lategame

[novel dagger]

it's not terribly hard to do it with lower gem level, 93 dex is enough to do like lv11

[left ice]

so then what would be the reason for the low life? gear or other skill nodes needing to be in strength?

[novel dagger]

100-200++ flat life on individual gear pieces
I'm not versed in melee build, but STR inherently give you 1 lfe per 2 str

[novel flame]

the path lol

[left ice]

100-200 total correct?

[left ice]

makes sense my strength could be higher

[novel dagger]

yea if you check out other people's setup, it's very clear they all stacks as high Life + STR possible on every piece of gear

[left ice]

yepm lookin at em now

thanks again!

[modern geode]

Im running a t15 leech at level 64 but im gaining basically zero experience, did they nerf it or maybe im too low i can’t understand

[novel dagger]

too big level differences, T15 is like 79+ area level

[modern geode]

So what level should I be to start doing it?

Didn’t know you didn’t gain xp if there we’re a big gap

[empty scarab]

Would Heavy Ammunition be better off than Electric Nature on LS? I don't know if Projectile Damage means more flat damage.

[novel dagger]

general levelling recommendation is stay within 5 levels plus minus
just go run some quick low tier maps first to get your self to 75 or so
won't take long.

[modern geode]

But is it like a difficulty reccomandation cause the plus minus makes me think so

[novel dagger]

well that just depends on your build vs the map mods you trying to run.
if your build can do it, just run the most dangerous high density map you like
doing T15 at lv60 ish is too fast normally, sounds like you got OP build already

[modern geode]

Im leeching off a group that does t15s and im gaining no xp, im not doing them myself

Im not dying im just not leveling at all

[novel flame]

at least you are not dying lol

[novel dagger]

now try solo it

https://tenor.com/view/death-gif-21917172

[heavy kayak]

Is there a good atlas guide anyone's using

what's the general strategy

[silk aspen]

I personally haven't heard how much they nerfed rarity, so I'll personally believe it's still a go-to to follow:

Stack rarity in the passive, followed by explicit effect. Unstable Energies if you can work it. My personal strat once I can get there will be to add rogue exile armor/jewelry in there and/or pack size

[viral stratus]

Gap should be less than 10 levels. When leveling 60+ to 80 range, i try to stay within 3 level range

[novel crow]

4 is fine, then it drops off but 8 is still okay

[pulsar osprey]

whats this? if i die does it vanish?

[jaunty crystal]

pinnacle boss, you can go in and check how it looks like, you will need 3 fragments to summon boss

[crystal wyvern]

is there a way to give spells a higher base crit chance?

[novel crow]

items, jewels and passive nodes, but not the spell gem itself no

[daring geyser]

yes, but through unholy might mana stacking

[crystal wyvern]

thanks

[crystal wyvern]

i was thinking sunder the flesh but thats an ascendency passive

[novel crow]

eow used to buff crit chance but they nerfed that

[slender brook]

Get yourself like lvl 70 then leech exp on t15s

[reef mantle]

does anyone know how to calculate damage bonus provided by tangletongue forked spear on Path of Building? thanks in advance

[novel crow]

yes

you need to know your absolute crit chance first, according to pob

What does this show for you?

the crit chance field

[novel crow]

I guess they've gone...

[merry plume]

what is a efficient way of crafting white eqs, alch them or just transmute recombine if no good lines

[reef mantle]

ah mb i just saw this

this is what it shows on my POB

[novel crow]

then you are guaranteed to fork crits, you can hack it to show the correct damage

double click on the tangletongue, and then click edit

add a line to it that says the following: 100% more critical damage bonus

then save it

[jaunty crystal]

if you look for currency gains then id just slam up to regal to see if any good crafting material is getting crafted, if you have enough currency and you look for possible own gear upgrades then use aches (one alch is like 2blue orbs + regal + ex all at once)

[merry plume]

im looking to craft for self use

[reef mantle]

just making sure im doing this correctly, is this correct?

[novel crow]

yep, no need for the extra line but you'll know if it works if the line shows up in blue instead of red

[reef mantle]

after saving it, turned out to be blue line

[novel crow]

that'll do it

[reef mantle]

bet ty

[jaunty crystal]

how much did you pay for spear?

[reef mantle]

ahh i guess another related question, the crit chance shown here, it's calculated correctly thru the Amazon Ascendency "Critical Strike" passsive right?

[novel crow]

yes

[reef mantle]

iirc ~8 div

prob overpaid a bit

[reef mantle]

kk gotcha, thanks!

[jaunty crystal]

i see, i just have +- same laying around, wondered how much peeps willing to pay

[novel crow]

jsut search on trade and sort by crit chance

that determines the price, unless they have an enchant, or second rune socket

[reef mantle]

damn tangletonngued provided so much damage lol, looking a the market, if I want a rare spear to be better for amazon, looking like it's gonna cost over 100 div lol

[novel crow]

just stick with tt and be happy lol

[jaunty crystal]

i understand that, just price ranges and and i dont know if i want to trade it out or use myself later, listed ovepriced for now, 23% two empty sockets

[reef mantle]

yea it aint worth spending that much for a 2% damage increase lol

[novel crow]

fk no

[placid fern]

is there a not dumb way to share my build to get advice on how to upgrade ? running t15s with splinter of loratta and clearing feels good but defense is iffy and thinking i should switch to EV/ES from full EV

[novel crow]

sure, import to pob, export to ninja, maxroll, etc.

ev/es is lightyears better than pure eva, pure eva is broke in poe2 because you can never build enough life for when you fail evasion

I was squishy af pure eva, slightly less squishy eva/armour, and now pretty tanky eva/es

blame devs for making ES the only good defence

[placid fern]

it is frustrating

[novel crow]

yes hard agree

I started adding jewels to take damage as mana before life to not be one shot

now I take 20% of damage as mana before life

here's my build if it helps: https://poe2.ninja/builds/dawn/character/Ittaku-1103/Huntrakas

you can either put all your eva on body armour and all es on the rest, or vice versa, and take passive nodes that amplify the relationship between the two

then add ghost dance which is a lifesaver

[placid fern]

cool i'll take a look

[novel crow]

warning that ES gear is expensive because everyone wants it, and you'll need to find enough int to equip it

[placid fern]

i just had this crazy chest piece drop

[night zinc]

I'm just starting to convert from full ev to es, and i'm not sure where to start

[novel crow]

or you can make sure every piece has 35% reduced attribute requirements and you'll need less int

either works

[placid fern]

it doesn't have spirit which could be a prob

https://i.imgur.com/igv0GM6.png

[novel crow]

yeah I'm short on spirit compared to other LS builds

I went with more defence instead

I'd be happy with just 20 more spirit for the support gems, but no luck

I made my build too dependent on the neck piece and needing every mod affix

[placid fern]

yeah my amulet and rings kinda suck, a lot of room to improve there

[novel crow]

bypassing resistance is OP since you don't need to think about curses, elemental penetration, or exposure, and bosses or waystones with extra resistance make no diff

[placid fern]

got a div yesterday so have a little spending money

[novel crow]

nice

[placid fern]

im not sure how to fit ghost shards in without dropping something vital for poison, currently running plague bearer herald of plague wind dancer and caltrops to synergize with escalating mayhem

[novel crow]

🤷‍♂️

like I said, I want more spirit to add stuff but I don't have it

there's always a compromise b/w offence and defence

tbf I only went hybrid eva/es when I had currency to spare

since ES is so expensive

[placid fern]

yeah that chest dropping was what got me thinking about it

[novel crow]

well like I said, I don't actually use hybrid gear

I use either eva OR es gear, not both

[placid fern]

yeah i think ill drop some early attack nodes to path into subterfuge mask

pick up a good es helmet to get started

i got absolutely shat on by a rogue exile warrior slamming me kekw

[novel crow]

These two together mean having pure eva body armour works best, which is how I use them

I also had pretty good pure eva body armour already

I could get more eva, but the one I have is stacked with ele res

[placid fern]

dang how did i miss spectral ward

[novel crow]

I had a little more defence yesterday but today I reworked my items to finally get decent rarity on my gear, but that's even more expensive

survival was my first priority, once I made some currency I could splash out a bit more

[rough jungle]

Hey guys I just finally got to maps for the first time, and was wondering how often people buy gear from the trade market. I really haven’t bought anything yet and just tried to craft my own stuff or buy from the vendor

But obviously the gear isn’t really the best that I have

[novel crow]

very much depends on the person and how much you want to leave it to finding it yourself and buying

[ivory forge]

It's a tool made to be used

[novel crow]

usually I'd keep going up in map tiers till you find yourself a bit squishy or lacking damage, then buy something to fix one or the other

[night zinc]

Most of my gear is traded, but I've been able to tweak some of the crafting here and there...

unfortunately, i'm squishy and can't afford better gear

[crystal wyvern]

Can you wear two of the same unique ring?

[rough jungle]

Yeah my resistances are really low, so I’m probably going to prioritize getting it higher

What number should I be getting it too?

[jaunty crystal]

trade is very much actively used, if you know some crafting basics you can sell even blue items here and there, gamblers will take any good stat item for craftings

and ofc if you want upgrades you can find yourself gear, lots of filters to find yourself beat in slots stuff

[rough jungle]

I understand that after going through the campaign, I mostly relied on my co op partner to buy stuff from vendors for me, I had terrible luck

Would you say every 10 levels is good to upgrade your gear?

[ivory forge]

Ideally you cap your resistances (75 base)

[jaunty crystal]

campaign should be doable with mediocre dropped gears

maybe buy yourself good weapon to get campaign done easier

[rough jungle]

Of course I’ll keep a lookout for items from vendors and floor drops but I’m not so confident in that haha

[jaunty crystal]

if you feel that your power is not enough then you can look for upgrades for every base increase, usually if you buy good stuff for around 1ex then most probably you will be able to sell it back for same exalt

[chilly kernel]

is gain 30% of damage as extra chaos damage mean a 1.3x multiplier for damage? does it multiply with other "more" damages?

[carmine sparrow]

It does, but its only 30% more damage if you have no other sources of extra

And if you scale it as well as your main damage type

[rough jungle]

This might be a dumb question but is there a better item drop rate with every map tier you go up or is it all mostly dependent on the affixes you roll on then

[novel crow]

yes

according to poe2db, arbiter has 117k life, presumably at T0, by that logic I should have deleted him immediately based on my pob output against pinnacle bosses but he took lots of hits, what am I missing?

even without barrage I should be doing 250k dps with a frenzy

[chilly kernel]

so if I have have "skill does 25% more damage support" is it multiplied with 1.3x chaos damage * my damage or multiplied with "my damage plus 30% chaos damage"?

[carmine sparrow]

Its your damage plus 30%

[chilly kernel]

thanks

[carmine sparrow]

But thats not really true because if your damage is for example fire

And you have some increased fire damage

It wont work on the chaos part

Like 30% extra chaos

For example

[chilly kernel]

if I have extra chaos damage nodes will that add to 30%?

[carmine sparrow]

Yea it will just add

I think there is like 11% on the tree on the notable. You will have 41% extra chaos

[dreamy flower]

Hey guys, are u still not able to quality skills from ascendency/sceptres etc?

[novel crow]

right, only indirectly

with passive nodes and items that increase quality globally

[novel crow]

anyone?

[storm cedar]

not sure but i think he has like 1.2m or 4m or smt like that

[novel crow]

hrm well poe2db which extracts the HP from the game data says only 117k, that has to be wrong, even without barrage I do 250k dps

https://poe2db.tw/The_Arbiter_of_Ash#TheArbiterofAshDemonClawBoss

[storm cedar]

well def not 117k since cruel campaign bosses have more that that lol

[novel crow]

yeah that just makes no sense

he died like he had over 10M

IGN says 7M

I wonder where they got that from

7 sounds realistic

[storm cedar]

no clue but random YT vid shows its around 4-5m since half is 2.5m

[novel crow]

hrm still no definitive value, but that's the first I've seen that shows anything thanks

[storm cedar]

sure, I mean i doesnt matter how much hp he has, you just have to dmg him till he dies, thats it 🙂

[novel crow]

well yes :P

but I don't have the skills to keep running his stupid mechanics, so I'd like to delete him faster

anyway T0 arbiter is enough for me, it's bad for my heart playing stuff like that

though sim is worse

[outer wyvern]

guys when do i swap from cast of freeze to cast of crit

[novel crow]

when you crit more often than you freeze? freeze gives a lot more energy per freeze though, so proportionately more crit

freeze is 10 energy per freeze, crit is 1

so if it takes you 10 hits to freeze something big, and you crit every single hit, you can switch to coc

also depends on whether you're tuning for boss or mobs

if you freeze everything on screen per hit for mobs, there's no point switching to coc as it will proc the spells in the COF regularly

[small estuary]

How good is Time Freeze? It sounds fun, but idk how practical it is. Duration to cooldown ratio doesn't seem very good?

[outer wyvern]

i was following a build

and it says endgame

i dont really know how to judge when that is

im like level 83

on T12 maps

[jaunty crystal]

so you feel that you lack anything in your build?

[outer wyvern]

at the moment my damage is fine

but like i was just wonder when to transition

my crit rate is roughly 56%+

[jaunty crystal]

you can always switch back if something is off and not working good enough

i just follow the logic that if something is working good enough then why to switch to anything, and if it happened that i switched but i dont like the outcome then i can switch back

try, test, adapt, idk

[forest epoch]

For farming uniques can you go act 1 to Finn with higher level character for higher level requirements uniques?

[carmine sparrow]

Pretty sure no

And act vendors have limited stock

[novel crow]

I tried juicing precursor towers with as much quant as possible instead of rarity and the result was very schmaverage, alas I've run out of rarity tablets

the quantity is so meagre this season

[lethal summit]

why is my game super slow? very chopy

haven't logged in in a week or so

[vernal monolith]

What stuff is worth using orb of chacne on nowadays? been a while since i played

[tall lantern]

bruh vaal factory is basically just a crack den. these enemies are borked

[vernal monolith]

So uhhh, trying to do the cataclysm's wake questline and the servers kicked me last time i went to the corrupted nexus, it vanished, and theres no new corrupted nexus or any corrupted maps near. how do i continue the quest?

[idle hazel]

You can just explore the atlas and find another nexus, they spawn in the middle of any corrupted area on the atlas, and there are relatively common. Also, if you're getting disconnected and are on EU gateways, attempt switching to another gateway. Some are much more stable than others.

[carmine sparrow]

Full rarity was better?

[novel crow]

much

quant goes up a little, rarity goes up a lot

you don't need more drops, just better ones

[carmine sparrow]

I mean more drops means you roll more items to apply rarity to

Maybe ggg shadownerfed quant

Or you have bad sample size

[timber flume]

100 maps and not even a single good drop

its bullshit

[novel crow]

yeah drops suck this season

[carmine sparrow]

If you do blue maps with no juicing and rarity on gear you will get nothing

[timber flume]

full upgraded over 200% mf

otherwise would be a waste

[crystal wyvern]

Anyone know why withered presence is unaffected by increased aura magnitudes?

[bleak basalt]

what magnitude would it increase?

it just applies a debuff it doesnt actually do anything itself

[vestal sapphire]

is there anything like purity of elements in poe2?
i rly need perma ailment immunity or at least chill/freeze

[crystal wyvern]

i would have expected it to magnify the debuff? maybe i dont understand magnitude....

[upper bay]

is there a catalyst to upgrade accuracy? and also does physical or attack catalyst improve this stat?

[amber helm]

attack, lightning both work

i think accuracy is also attack-tagged

[upper bay]

alrightyy thank you very much

[rich pagoda]

stupid question, but am I missing something. When I want to trade and I see asian characters I know it's a lost cause. They never ever respond. What is going on?

[small estuary]

Does it matter in what order Expedition explosives are detonated, or all modifiers are counted immediately when you press detonate button?

[bleak basalt]

yes it matters

[jagged hound]

It does matter, they explode in the order you placed, blown up modifiers only apply to the one that blowed them up and later ones

[bleak basalt]

modifiers get applied as they blow up, and only on monsters blown up with or after them

[jagged hound]

Its just okay, but remember % inc duration affects the length, % cdr affects the cooldown, and you can get multiple uses in a row with Now & Again

[vague temple]

yes. add it to the highlight specific bases category

[undone merlin]

it telling me to do t2 corrupted nexus but ive yet to see a single t2 waystone. only found like 5 t1 ones

[vague temple]

make sure you kill all rare monsters in your maps

[undone merlin]

i do

[vague temple]

and kill map bosses

[undone merlin]

not fought many bosses besides the corruptd one

[civic lagoon]

Do we think Lightning Spear will get nerfed next League or during this current League in an upcoming patch?

[vague temple]

probably next league

[civic lagoon]

I want to try it but I don’t want to waste time and resources into it if it’s going to get nerfed soon

[vague temple]

this is just act 2 cruel. shits op

[civic lagoon]

Is that as Huntress or Ranger?

[vague temple]

deadeye ranger

[civic lagoon]

Is that twink leveling or just normal?

[vague temple]

kinda half way

i have kitoko current gloves and thats it

i did buy some gear on trade

like 15-20 ex

i found a div in act3 normal

liquidated it into exalted

gg

[undone merlin]

about sick to death of those cheating ass fucking tracking laser beam ghosts. they need to be fucking removed. if there is no cover and you face a tough rare one your fucked

as fuck

gonna quitr playin gthis damn game over them cheating bitches

i dont mind dying and losing exp when my skill wasnt sufficent but am realy quite annoyed by completely unavoidable deaths

[merry plume]

what is this laser beam ghost

the cross bow skill where they shoot the laser?

or the skeleton that reflects your projectile

[bleak galleon]

hey guys I chanced an astramentis and Im wondering what builds/classes want to use this amulet.

is stat stacking still a thing or is it no longer viable?

[river violet]

Viability is in the eye of the beholder. Int stacking is one of the only ways to get a big mana pool since they murdered mana stacking

[bleak galleon]

hm

[river violet]

And howa didn't get nerfed that much, comparatively speaking

[coral canopy]

I have the aduience with a King bug... How can I get out??

[bleak galleon]

I guess im just curious if any builds use astramentis as their bis instead of just a fix for attributes

[river violet]

I'd check poeninja for inspiration

[vague temple]

sell for 30+div

[bleak galleon]

i could sell it for 110 because it chanced and was perfect rolls

but I kinda wanna use it cause its cool

[shell saffron]

Hi, I am trying to unlock all my atlas passive points and I am at 36/40. Up until then, I was chasing nodes with Corrupted Nexus but they stopped dropping the skill books. How do I finish my last two points?

[crystal wyvern]

Is there a good way to determine how much a more multiplier is worth when compared to an additive multiplier?

For example, is 15% spell damage better than 5% more damage? And at what point are they equal?

[vague temple]

PoB

[small estuary]

x+0.15 = x*1.05
x = 3
Answer: 15% increased damage equals 5% more damage when current increased damage is 200%.

[crystal wyvern]

This is a really good example. Because if I understand it correctly, what it’s saying is once you have 200% added damage. A 5% more damage becomes more beneficial?

[small estuary]

Correct.

[gleaming vortex]

Looking for some advice. New to POE2, level 75 Invoker Monk. First play through. Currently clearing T7-8 with gear worth around 40-50 ex.
I found a Spirit Gem lvl 20. Should I sell it and get better gear, or keep for end game. I’m not sure what my best route to take is. Are they hard to come by once I get to a point when I would want to use it?

[dapper tapir]

I say sell who is against it

[civic nacelle]

can you anoint a corrupted amulet?

[dapper tapir]

nah

thats why we dont corrupt it

[jaunty crystal]

they are not that expensive, 30-50 exs, i bet those exes would help you more than future spirit gem upgrade

depends on your current currency

[dapper tapir]

I see them sold for 100ex

[jaunty crystal]

spirit ones?

[dapper tapir]

skill

[gleaming vortex]

Spirit is worth more than skill though no?

[dapper tapir]

oh he got spirit

[jaunty crystal]

he has spirit

[dapper tapir]

my bad

bad eyes

[jaunty crystal]

no

[dapper tapir]

but tru, sell > upgrade gear and have fun

[crystal wyvern]

Is a gain damage as extra on a buff applied before the buckets are multiplied or after? Or does it not matter?

[civic nacelle]

doesn't matter

[jagged hound]

Are Flameblast's "more cast speed when targeting a solar orb" and "more cast speed" from quality multiplicative with eachother?

[crystal wyvern]

A character can wear 2x of the same unique rings right?

[jagged hound]

Unless that ring is Thief's Torment yes

They can even wear 3 if they're a Ritualist

[idle hazel]

There are no restrictions on equipping more than one of a given unique item unless it specifies a limit of some kind.

[rich pagoda]

How do you get more "bosses" atlas points. I'm running a T15 map with a cleansed and higher level modifier and still nothing after the first few points

[patent rivet]

???? why cant a go too the delirium map?

[idle hazel]

The completed node you're on has five connections. A node can only actually have a maximum of 4, so one of them is fake and purely visual. In your case, it turned out to be the one connection to the Delirium map.

[patent rivet]

ahh okey ty

[undone merlin]

the ones that have the tracking fire laser beam that goes for miles and is only stopped by a large obstacle like a wall. they have a fire orbs attack as well but its easy enough to deal with

[patent rivet]

any reason why the sacred flame shrine scepter dropped in price ?

[empty narwhal]

is coated arms good if im gonna use a spear

the passive skill

[mighty mountain]

how much elemental pen of your main type should you generally run in t15 maps?

[elfin girder]

How do I figure out what affixes are affected by each catalyst?

[lapis gate]

is reduced attribute reqs a global change or does it just affect the piece of equipment its on

[quiet shore]

latter

[mint pivot]

I assume Shattering Palm doesn't benefit from any of the local crit mods on a qstaff because it is unarmed, yeah?

[small rune]

yea

but the explosion is 11% base with quality giving you 2% more

[mint pivot]

Yeah, just figuring out how I want to craft

[small rune]

guhlobal cuhrit

[mint pivot]

Also does it say anywhere how much damage you need to do to proc the explosion or is it based on monster HP?

[small rune]

I actually want to say the explosion scales off qstaff

buuuuuuuuuuuuuut

ideek

and also it really doesn't say the trigger conditions for it to go off

weird

[mint pivot]

Explosion does attack damage so it should use the staff yeah

But it having its own crit makes me think maybe not

[patent rivet]

does this mod work with the "increased fire damae" mod on rings?

[mint pivot]

Yes

[patent rivet]

oke ty

[crystal wyvern]

anyone know if you lose life from bursting decay ring if you have the lich ascendency that says your life cannot change?

[quiet shore]

Those two should work fine together -- the extra damage isn't depending on the amt of Life lost

[hollow turret]

chat does this mean just a regular ass barya or what

[small rune]

0 defences

[hollow turret]

let me narrow it down for you

does it mean a regular ass barya

[quiet shore]

wonder if its one of the special "Test" baryas

[small rune]

might be additional barya that could roll with the weird spectrum of modifiers

or a normal ass barya

[crystal wyvern]

what determines how fast minions revive?

the patch notes say like 7.5 seconds, but mine are taking 20 seconds to revive

[quartz wolf]

is there a way to search for specific fractured mods? Ive seen screenshots where you can supposedly search for them like you would a corruption enchant but this is all i see?

[lethal summit]

I can't really change any of my gear at the moment but I will be able to change some sockets eventually. Is it worth buying more Soul Core of Tacati to get my chaos res to 75%? They are like 15 exalts each or something silly like that

[night zinc]

I just farm my lower level ultimatums for that

[mighty mountain]

should you open a breach while in another breach? or finish the first, then do the second separately?

[lilac jay]

sooo i was doing a map and there was a pillar to click, so i did and it put a skull symbol above my head. Then I died out of nowhere. What did i do wrong? Are those pillars sometimes just map enders?

[quartz wolf]

sounds like you found a gloom shrine, then got 1 shot by something completely unrelated

[lilac jay]

hmm maybe

[quartz wolf]

gloom shrine just makes you do extra damage as chaos and when you kill stuff they explode

puts a skull over your head when you get the buff

[lilac jay]

that's so weird, i was full health and running to the next pack, i wonder what killed me

[crystal wyvern]

anyone know why sacrifices minion revive speed penalty goes from 63% in the window to 126% when activated?

[left ice]

whats everyone building first on atlas? I already got the tablet buffs

[lilac jay]

Is this a new thing where you can put a bunch of these into a tower?

[novel dagger]

patched this league yea, run a 6 mod map on the tower to unlock 3 slots

[lilac jay]

cool, i like that

i never really got deep into the endgame in the last season

but i assume best practice is just to stack up as many tablets in as many towers as possible before doing the maps between

[night zinc]

Also, the higher the map tier, the higher the percentage modifier for maps influenced

iirc, a tier 10 is 66%

[mighty mountain]

idk what this means and i'm scared

[gleaming vortex]

I am wanting to run cast on shock with Comet. Do i need the int required for Comet in order to use them?

[novel dagger]

same as act boss, that one is act 3 boss
farm to acquire key for pinnacle boss

[mighty mountain]

how hard is it?

[novel dagger]

depends on your build performance of course, there no real way to measure this
but let just say if you still take more than a minute in normal map boss, the experience in citadel boss might be similar to when you were doing campaign - got your arse handed to you if you not being careful
you can go in with map with less modifiers so you get multiple tries, but of course that will nett you less key fragments
I would say don't go in with monster damage mod, monster aoe, etc... for example for your first few tries, to not make it extra difficult

[novel flame]

critical chance + critical damage one.....

[night zinc]

Basically, it's Doryani, he's a challenging boss, but it really is about how hard T1515 bosses are for you

*T15

[torpid seal]

sorry if this isn't the proper channel, but is there a way to be notified when the owner of a listed item logs in?

[quartz wolf]

there's probably another way but the first one that comes to mind would be to live search for the item and put the sellers name in this filter

youll hear the lil beep whenever they come online

that should work at least, i've never tried it

[mighty mountain]

gotcha. I probably need a bit more damage first

[night zinc]

Fair

[torpid seal]

i'll try it, thanks. but that live search will then only show me that specific item, right?

[quartz wolf]

it depends, if you search for the item name (lets say its a spear or something) then yea because its only looking at live listings of that base, from that seller. if you just put in the seller name and hit live search it should show any item they have listed

live search is just literally telling trade to not show you ANY listings unless they are fresh

[torpid seal]

but then it won't show me an item they had listed already

by that logic

[mighty mountain]

is there a basic crafting guide somewhere for the late game? i'm just not sure what to be doing to try to find upgrades for my gear (I'm semi SSF, using currency exchange & selling items but no buying items)

[quartz wolf]

i dont know the right terminology but by fresh i just mean recent basically

so afaik it seems to put listings of ppl who just logged on in there

again though, ive never personally tried, so im just guessing that's how

[torpid seal]

ok, but if i leave the live search as is, won't it notify me by default when the owner logs in?

i mean, the listing i'm interested is 9 days old

[jagged hound]

Do basic weapon attacks have quality effects?

[quartz wolf]

it should as long as your search meets their item yea, but afaik most ppl quit pretty early into this league so there might be a pretty high chance that person just isnt coming back at this rate, just saying.

[tribal pike]

where do i use the sacrificial heart

[civic lagoon]

Make sure to fully explore Aggorat and you’ll eventually come across an altar where you can place the heart

[long sonnet]

there's a little quest dagger and animation you have to do

[mellow belfry]

is there any reason why the delirium rewards are so... constipated?
I'm force ending it and it still takes forever

[novel crow]

buggy

[novel flame]

also you can unselect +difficulty in map boss tree

[torpid seal]

why are stellar amulets so valued?

[novel crow]

they can be chanced to astramentis

weird, I died and amelioration didn't kick in

[mighty mountain]

this happened to me too. it's bugged or something sometimes

[novel crow]

must be, well I found a div in that map so I don't feel so bad

[jagged hound]

Did you use multiple omens in one map

[novel crow]

resurgence and amelioration, neither kicked in

they have different activation triggers so it shouldn't have mattered (it hasn't in the past)

[mighty mountain]

same situation here

[night zinc]

hits level 87 huzzah

[novel flame]

do people prefer to do phaaryl megalith (the boss rush)?

[novel crow]

might be time to go up a notch in filtering

[jagged hound]

If one omen has gone off in the area, no other omens will activate

So if you had any at all kick in, they all get disabled

[mighty mountain]

oh you only get one omen per map??

[jagged hound]

Yeah

[mighty mountain]

they really need to explain that better

[jagged hound]

" Right click this item in your inventory to set it to be active. This item is consumed when triggered. Only one Omen can be triggered from combat in each instance. "

I mean it is kind of in the explanation of how to use it

[mighty mountain]

OHHH it means THAT kind of "instance"

that word is a bad word to use in this case, cause it has a regular english meaning too

[jagged hound]

yeah fair

[mighty mountain]

i thought it meant like, only 1 could trigger from combat for low life at a time, etc

as in "in each instance of low life"

so that they wouldn't double trigger

that's a perfectly reasonable way to interpret that explanation, tbh

[novel crow]

I went back to hideout and returned, is it only once in the map?

[fringe stirrup]

Great! Thanks for the info!

[small estuary]

Is it possible to check how many maps is a tower affecting? I don't want to slot 3 Breach tablets and overcap on how many maps it can alter

Besides manually counting

[novel flame]

there are more than 5 types (so far i found 7), but you can only get up to 5 set of points

[novel flame]

other than the cave, there seems to be a chest room (i havent entered, should be the one already available last season)

and there's a boss rush map too, have to fight 10+ boss continuously

[slate solar]

What're the best early atlas nodes to path toward currently?

While completing atlas

[novel flame]

waystone? and rarity?

[viral stratus]

I know it used to let you know if you overcap. That was in 0.1 though, towers work differently now. I'm guessing if you don't see a pop up saying you're going over limit, you're not

[small estuary]

Ended up counting manually

#2┃looking-for-group

[latent parcel]

Finding one with Haste Aura, or Periodic Invulnerability is nice for HC, shroudwalker can be alright since it blinds, all damage shocks is okay. But the most desired is probably Haste Aura but if you’re quick you may just be outrunning the range of the companions buff anyways so I’m personally not running a companion anymore for that reason

[bleak jacinth]

Any body recommend a huntress build that an idiot could play and gear? I have tried rax's build and medieval martys build but i feel like im stuck at waystone 5s... Trying to farm a bit more currency but maybe it is a brain level problem

[novel flame]

am i losing it? does this path go under the map im currently on or something?

i named my tab the same thing!

[orchid shoal]

Paths may be sometimes bugged, visual version isn't the same as real. Sometimes you can get somewhere without paths

[left ice]

yeah its wack - wont let me start it so guess the lines are just a bug

[jagged hound]

The Elemental Siphon skill on poedb isnt currently in the game and was just datamined, right?

[latent parcel]

The bug happening here is that a node is only allowed to connect to 4 other nodes so the fifth node connection is just a bug

[ornate marsh]

Guys, what ia actually the fastest build for mapping but also for killing bosses?

[amber helm]

believe it or not, lightning spear

[ornate marsh]

Which class?

[jagged hound]

How quick can i expect to inflict Immobilizes if i build into them?

[ornate marsh]

Cause i tried warrior but is too damn slow

[jagged hound]

Can i expect bosses to be frozen or stunned more often than not?

[amber helm]

why would you expect warrior to be fast

deadeye is fast with tailwind

[ornate marsh]

I mean, i saw explosions tought it was a little bit fast but not. You also have to run into packs of mobs, not good. So actually lightning spear deadeye?

[amber helm]

yeah with rhoa so you dont slow down when you attack

[ornate marsh]

What is rhoa? Anyway ty for the tip 🙂 do you know any good guide to follow?

[amber helm]

rhoa = mount, spirit reservation, you dont slow down when attacking with spears/bows

[tall lantern]

theres no more xp loss on pinnackes at any tier correct?

[ornate marsh]

Is there a mount in poe2? 😳

[jagged hound]

Yeah

Its a spirit gem, summons a bird mount that lets you move unimpeded while using skills but youre limited to Marks and ranged Spear skills

[ornate marsh]

Lol i didnt knew this!!!!

What the difference between amazon and dradeye? I saw on poeninja that the majority play as amazon

[amber helm]

deadeye is more into frenzy charges and uses wind serpent's fury with infernal cry to kill bosses

it's tankier due to tailwind

amazon is more damage in general but doesnt get to use wind serpents and it's a lot easier to crit cap on amazon

[ornate marsh]

So lets say deadeye faster and tankier, amazon slower but more dmg

[amber helm]

yeah and generally deadeye is higher investment

[tall lantern]

afaik deadeye is king of dps for bosses

[amber helm]

yeah amazon cant compare to the wind serpents fury tech

[ornate marsh]

Do you think 20div is enough to get a comfortable build?

[jagged hound]

Full frenzy charges WSF is like 7000% DE at gem level 20 right

On Deadeye

[tall lantern]

does ghost dance actually do anything? I never see me ES recharging from it

[left ice]

Is the current death penalty in normal maps still 10% or was that changed?

[jagged hound]

With how Ghost Dance works, during gameplay it will look more like you just took less damage unless you procced a ghost dance while on 0 ES

Since its instant recovery when hit

[novel flame]

storm lance (converted to cold) freezes boss quite well

[tall lantern]

I see

yiss it honestly pisses me off so much when you use a greater essence and it adds an extra unrelated trash affix

If you have a spear and a free hand, can you use Concoction skills?

[small estuary]

Help me with Essense Drain support gems please. I got Chain, Considered Casting and Swift Affliction but I'm at a loss for what to add in the last 2 links.

[jagged hound]

Drain Affliction and Chaos Mastery

[small estuary]

Ty. Drain affliction can consume poisons right? What happens if I recast ED on a target that has ED debuff boosted this way, but currently doesn't have any poisons? Also can it consume poison if it is applied via Contagion spread?

[crystal wyvern]

increasing the magnitude of shock by 10% means that the damage a shocked enemy takes goes from 20% to 22%?

[vague temple]

Yes

[crystal wyvern]

Other than incraesed effect of withered, there isn't a way to increase the magnitude of the withered benefit is there? like increase magnitude of aura or other buffs?

Anyone else have the issue where Delirium takes multiple minutes after a map to give you the loot? It feels bad waiting 2-5 minutes to get the splinters/ires

is there some way to get the final socket on the sceptre? not sure why I can get full sockets on the other weapon skills but not sceptre

[jagged hound]

I believe the sceptre has to be Item Level 90

Which to be frank im not sure is obtainable

[mellow belfry]

well thats a totally reasonable explanation i guess, thanks!

[novel crow]

I'm certain it's not obtainable

[stark trellis]

hii, does the tooltip recognize tangle tongue's crit forking because when i socket the crit bonus soulcore, it gives less tooltip DPS than accuracy rune

[long sonnet]

well if you don't have enough flat damage elsewhere and acc gives you flat dmg from penetrate that's about right

[stark trellis]

hmm you're probably right, i should save up divs for a good breach ring then.. and maybe install POB xd

[soft tundra]

I'm having trouble getting my last map boss point. I've already done arbitor, T16 map with corruption and irratiation. Any one know how to tell where i'm missing my last point?

[stark trellis]

have you tried doing a level 82 area boss again?

and is the "pinnacle of flame" quest considered complete?

maybe u gotta talk to an npc or smthn after u do arbiter

[novel flame]

ok, confirmed something, did a t17 for 3rd set of boss points WITHOUT putting any points on the tree, and failed to get the points

so sufficient +map boss difficulty from the tree is a must

[soft tundra]

Yes quest is done. And i've talked to the NPC afterwards

[novel flame]

do the corruption have +1 level?

[vague temple]

corruption is not +1 area level by default any more
the corrupted node has to specifically have +1 area level mod on it
cleansed nodes can also roll that mod too, and the mods are re-rolled when you clear the nexus

[gleaming vortex]

Anyone got some t13+ maps they could sell? im looking for like 5, idc about stats

[mighty mountain]

is the best way to find delirium tablets to do regular delirium mirrors? or juice waystones with emotions and do delirious maps?

[novel crow]

deli infused drop more delirirum tablets in my experience

[mighty mountain]

what about splinters? same story? or more from mirrors?

[limpid steeple]

Hello guys, how you guys find builds of utubers on the internet

[novel crow]

splinters proportional to degree of delirium, so heavily infused will drop more, further from mirror will drop more, and deli nodes on atlas passives drops more

[mighty mountain]

wdym further from mirror? like, distance when it ends? i presumed it was related to just what level of emotions rewards you got to as well

[novel crow]

so delirium intensifies the further you are from the mirror

but it's static when deli infused

[mighty mountain]

i did not know that, interesting. So the goal is to go in a straight line as far as possible? interesting

[novel crow]

not necessarily, you don't want to leave the fog

the fog slowly moves, watch the way it's blowing

if you exit the fog you can go back into it

[mighty mountain]

yeah idk if i've ever outpaced it in this season

just gotta not fall behind

[novel crow]

circling outwards is the best way

hemi-circle in the direction it's blowing

[cold bramble]

I have an interesting minion issue. When I swap my sceptre/shield for my staff, I lose 115 spirit. I have explicitly set my minion count to match that spirit drop on my secondary.
I swap to staff, lose 4 DPS minions, I drop a Sigil/curse and swap back regaining 4 DPS minions. However, periodically my spirit/minion count “glitches” and I lose ALL my dps minions and get a “not enough spirit” spirit marker on my DPS minions gem. To fix it, I either have to drop ALL my minion gem counts to 0 and then manually reset them OR pull the DPS gem out of the skill list and drop it back in again then manually reset each weapon count. Which, when you are dodging 1 hit kill shots … is cumbersome.

I cannot find much on this searching, anyone have a fix and/or thoughts?

[mighty mountain]

and wdym it "intensifies" the further i am?

[novel crow]

delirium is expressed as a percentage

when you're further from the mirror the percentage rises

enemies do more damage and you do less

[mighty mountain]

so that is equivalent to the delirious % when you layer emotions on a waystone?

[novel crow]

but the more delirious you are, the better the drops

yep

[mighty mountain]

and those droprates apply to ALL the enemies on the map when you're still in the fog and the mirror is active?

so the regular enemies have better drops?

[novel crow]

there's an atlas passive node that amplifies that difference

[mighty mountain]

is it best then to mix the delirium fog with breaches if you can?

[novel crow]

all enemies yes, don't kill the regular enemies before tripping the mirror, if you can cope

[keen pilot]

it's flat rarity/quantity bonus from delirious

[mighty mountain]

i mean the mirror starts right next to spawn so that's not hard

[keen pilot]

so technically yeah they should drop more

[novel crow]

There's this node that amplifies it more

if you always infuse deli it's a useless node, but if you do mirrors it helps

[mighty mountain]

wait, isn't the second part of that node ONLY for infused deli?

cause splinters on mirror maps come at the end

[novel crow]

well second part works for it as well

they accumulate

but yes second part works in deli infused, but not the first obv

[mighty mountain]

right right

thx for the help

btw, I've beaten the breach boss on difficulty 0 and 1, and have 4 atlas breach points. Does that mean I'm ready for simulacrum? I haven't really looked anything up on it and don't know how much harder it is

[novel crow]

uh depends on your build, sim is an overwhelmer

sim is much harder than the rest of the content

[mighty mountain]

i'm homebrew ritualist lightning spear

clearing t15 maps pretty well

[novel crow]

how do you cope with being swamped by monsters?

that's the real danger of sim, it's not necessarily the bosses

[mighty mountain]

i throw a lightning spear and they all die =D, lots of disengage and dodge roll otherwise

[novel crow]

but there's a constant flood and the LS doesn't stick around indefinitely

how's your defences

[mighty mountain]

pretty good, i think? idk

[novel crow]

give it a crack, but I don't bother doing sim over T0, it's just too overwhelming and not good for my heart

[mighty mountain]

lol

[novel crow]

and I have an LS amazon

lv97

[mellow belfry]

how long does it take to level after 95?

[vague temple]

whats your life/ES/evasion
are your resists capped?

[novel crow]

96 is okay, 97 is a grind, 98 is a freaking waste of time

did 98 last season

took me 2 days for 97, lots of careful grinding

[mighty mountain]

i mean I'm running t15 maps. Do people really run t15 maps without capped resists?

life/ES is total like 3700 or something, ~2200 life ~1500 ES. Evasion is 78% or something like that

i guess my chaos isn't capped

do people count chaos into "capped resists" normally or not?

[novel crow]

not really, I don't think you need capped chaos, even 50% is a lot

[mellow belfry]

chaos is similar to poe1 i feel (maybe less sources than poe1), you either try to get some and always be safe, or get none and then learn what is chaos and avoid it

[mighty mountain]

yeah I think I have in the realm of 50

[novel crow]

I assume they do half as much damage as chaos

[soft tundra]

I'm missing the last Atlast skill point, Just did a t16 corrupted nexus and didn't get the point

something i'm missing?

[mighty mountain]

probably another unique map needed?

or t16 is bugged with the final t15+ one idk

[soft tundra]

already done one?

[mighty mountain]

you need to do 5

[soft tundra]

Hm maybe that's it. If i failed one can i still get the points somewhere else?

[median quail]

any good gold farms for a noobie? damn pirates got me for 50k

[soft tundra]

I see unique maps on my atlas but they don't say they give a skill point

[vague temple]

thats how much xp you need

bear in mind you take a massive xp penalty when you are ~10 levels higher than the zone level

[mellow belfry]

since theres only ~82 areas right now, is the amount of xp u get as 93 going to be the same as when you are 99?

[mighty mountain]

you need to do 5 different unique maps

and there's only like 6, or maybe 7, types

[vague temple]

I'm not sure on the exact numbers
here's a very detailed wiki page on the topic for PoE1 (I assume its the same formula)
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Experience#Experience_penalties

[mellow belfry]

ah ok, if its same as poe1 then i think i remember; thanks for being super specific!

[median quail]

what did i do... all of a sudden all of the characters in my hideout are showing without me pressing alt

ah... Z... found it 🙂

[vague temple]

...you play with that turned off?

[median quail]

i guess it's off yeas

[novel crow]

that's dangerous man, might miss a mirror

[vague temple]

yeah you cant see loot with that turned off

[median quail]

nah when stuff drops it stays on the screen for a few seconds

and might make a noise. then it disappears and i press alt to show it

[mighty mountain]

yeah dawg u crazy

but also, on a slightly less judgemental note

you might just want to rebind it from Z -> [something], something you're less likely to hit on accident, for you own sanity

i used to hit it all the time and then get confused why things are diff

i switched to [O] and now I only hit it once in a while and things are much better for my brain lol

[median quail]

nah i promise i wont miss anything of value

i dont think ive missed an alteration

[mighty mountain]

you almost certainly will. It's impossible to always be perfectly on your "alt game"

better to just use the filterblade loot filter to make sure you don't see too much

and then never miss anything
