[fervent prairie]

not cleansed, not corrupted

[sly swallow]

he said there are no hidden factors affecting rarity, so you can only get rarity from the rarity of items mod found on maps and tablets and they get buffed by all these passives on the atlas tree

it has nothing to do with map suffixes

[fervent prairie]

yeah you're right on that

[bitter jewel]

Hey viper, one area that I think may cause confusion here is that cleansed maps seem to have randomized modifiers on them, including increase to rarity. Just like how some have Obelisks of Cleansing and some do not.

Am I correct? That may account for some of what @fervent prairie was experiencing. I know the game does mention this, but it's easy to miss if you don't hunt down the tooltip description.

[fervent prairie]

the map was empty of everything, but i think i've put the wrong waystone in, one that rolled rarity on the prefix instead of the one that rolled pack size so that is where my confusion came from

sorry

[bitter jewel]

Ah, that would do it as well. No worries.

[deep hawk]

Any tips for harbinger?

[ripe pumice]

Asking again when they exist in poe2

[coral peak]

Can anyone give me some advice on endgame content? I find myself just constantly running Tier 15 Waystone and using Orb of Transmutation/Orb of Augmentation/Regal Orb to make it Rare with 3-4 modifiers. Half the runs don't even drop another Tier 15 so I have to pay Doryani 54k gold each time to craft another Normal Tier 15 Waystone

[bitter jewel]

Why not use an Orb of Alchemy on them instead? If you want to run 4-mod waystones it's faster to just "Alch and go" rather than building up mods one by one.

I'd also mention that it's only possible to have a run not drop another T15 waystone if you are dying so much that you're failing the map. The last rare and/or the boss in a map will always drop a waystone at least as high tier as the map you are running.

So there's no such thing as "half the runs don't drop another Tier 15"

[coral peak]

I sometimes die once or twice on the T15, but never failed the map yet. Maybe because it was a Normal Waystone? Do I need to make sure the Waystone says 100% to drop another Waystone?

[bitter jewel]

Are you sure you're not talking about Tier 16 maps? Those have some unique crafting requirements.

[coral peak]

I'm positive, Doryani only sells Tier 14 to me

[bitter jewel]

Yes that's true.

His vendor inventory only goes up to t14.

[coral peak]

Ah

So even if you were to craft a T16 and beat it, he still only sells T14s?

[bitter jewel]

Correct. For T15 waystone you need to get drops from maps in either T14 or T15 runs. Higher waystone % chance will increase the quantity of waystones that drop. But completing the map objective is guaranteed to drop at least one waystone of tier equal to the map you are running.

T16 is an exception, as T16 waystones are created either through corrupting T15s with a Vaal orb, and/or running irradiated maps that have +1 to monster level.

Doryani's vendor store is mostly there for downside protection in case you chain die a bunch in T14/15 and run out of dropped waystones.

[coral peak]

Alright, that's what I thought too. I'll keep running it and observe, however, I believe the times that it didn't drop was when I used a Normal T15 Waystone

[bitter jewel]

I'm still not sure what you mean by "normal waystone". Do you mean a non-corrupted T15 stone?

Or a white waystone with no mods?

You generally never want to be running white waystones beyond T1.

[coral peak]

White Waystone with no mods

Using 3 Tier 14 bought from Doryani and reforging them to T15 and running it straight up

[bitter jewel]

Gotcha yeah. Honestly I'm not sure. But mostly because I've never tried it. White waystones at T15 are just a total waste of time.

[coral peak]

Gotcha, so I should make sure it's at least 3-6 modifiers?

[bitter jewel]

Super inefficient because you have no density increases, no rarity, no quant, etc.

Generally people run at least 4, but it's not like this is a right/wrong moral choice. It's just that you generally want more and better loot and the mods are how you get that.

More monster density, more item quantity, more item rarity, etc. All of these things increase your loot.

Of course you get less revives too. So if you find you die too much, you may balance it a bit while you build the character.

[coral peak]

That's great, should I spend Regal/Exalted Orbs if I'm stuck with a T15 Waystone with only 1-2 modifiers?

[bitter jewel]

You can. Up to you and your budget. Regal and exalts are super cheap after you make some currency.

One divine drop = ~1,700 exalts.

[coral peak]

Got it, thanks

[bitter jewel]

For sure, good luck blasting!

[glacial vector]

What is the tankiest class that can clear maps?

I have a Minion Lich and a Stormweaver that die very easily in early maps, (T1-4) causing me to lose a lot of corrupted nexus maps...

[sly swallow]

ehm think about your defences too, it's a big loss if you lose all portals in the nexus, don't use maps with too many mods there

I think invoker must be the tankiest with his meditation doubling the ES, so he can go from 10k to 20k ES like that, without meditation I am torn between deadeye and ritualist

[quartz cradle]

nah Bloodmage LS clears those imo

It's comparable

[sly swallow]

but like lich can have over 20k ES with essence drain though

bloodmage has to spend a lot of skill points to go around the passive tree

I am assuming you spend half or most of the skill points for ES as deadeye/ritualist to get the most tanky

[quartz cradle]

8 skill points is nothing compared to what BM gives honestly

[sly swallow]

8 skill points?? more like 28?

[quartz cradle]

Life remnants
Crit damage
25% damage taken from hits over 4 seconds
Potential +1000 life from chest

8 skill points and you are an invoker, deadeye goes to monk start anyway

[sly swallow]

ah okay

[quartz cradle]

Deadeye doesn't like its own start besides movespeed

Proj damage is aight, but doesn't help wind serpent

[sly swallow]

I assumed you want the bleed passives

[quartz cradle]

Don't need green for map bosses only pinnacles

Red is just mappin and could drop attack damage nodes with better gear for sure

Get more movespeed or hybrid EV/es

So many ways to play LS BM, you can life stack, go for es/life combo, go for ev/es/life triple combo, etc

[sly swallow]

isn't this better?

[quartz cradle]

Maybe with better gear I just went for 3k life and chilled

Es falls off anyway

Life remnants are forever ♥️♥️♥️

[sly swallow]

yeah bloodmage is so good man

alright, bloodmage HAS to be the tankiest ascendancy then

thanks for bringing it up

[quartz cradle]

You don't see Bloodmages tanking arbiter tho, I just think for mapping it's the tankiest

I'm lvl 72 on an LS deadeye rn it's fun, just got third ascension and can finally use the frenzy charge doubling effect. Didn't realize how nice it would be for lightning spear I figured it was mostly for wind serpent

[sly swallow]

yeah it's nuts, originally LS hits 4 targets, the deadeye LS hits 7 targets and deals 50% more damage, is it just me or the deadeye ascendancy triples the LS damage?

nvm, it "only" doubles the damage

[lone cosmos]

Can somebody help me with an extremely difficult boss for 100 c'

[idle hazel]

No trading on the server, and you may want to use https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714168576249887 instead.

[nocturne hare]

In the trial of sekhemas, at the trial map, i saw a button "trial progress will be saved and you can return later". Does this mean that I can save the trial progress and turn off the game and go to bed. And tomorrow when I start up the game again, I will be able to continue the trial at the last progress?

[idle hazel]

You should be able to, yes, last I checked

[wanton lark]

Does anyone know why on pob I have 70% lightning resistance but in-game it says 60%?

[copper raft]

Can you send your pob code?

[wanton lark]

Sent

[copper raft]

Did you forget Spires of Deshar bonus by any chance?

[wanton lark]

Should be here, right?

[copper raft]

Yeah. Also check out the second one in act 5

[wanton lark]

Yeah, I don't see any quest icon, except Ascent the Power

[bitter jewel]

It's there, but that icon is kind of hidden due to the map coloring.

That one is a statue you click, and all the surrounding metal statues come to life and attack you. It isn't one where you get an item to consume so it can be easy to miss.

[coral peak]

Can anyone confirm if experience formula is the same as POE1? No penalty if it's within Player Level/16 + 3

[median escarp]

it seems to be the same below level

but there is no safe zone above level

[wanton lark]

Thanks @copper raft and @bitter jewel you were right

Since you've already had a look at my gear would you mind sharing any suggestions for improvement? https://poe2.ninja/profile/Evilset-5271/character/Evilset

[sly swallow]

I would get more ES on the chest, remove subterfuge mask and all the passives leading to it, also chance to shock passives, get bestial skin and probably the ES passives on the sorceress side of the tree

get at least 5k life+ES maybe

[wanton lark]

Thank you! Is there any way to attack while moving? Right now I have to stop to attack and it's slowing me down while mapping

[idle hazel]

Depends on the skill you're using, but most ranged skills can be used while moving, you just keep walking around with WASD as you shoot them, or press them after clicking somewhere with click to move.

[sly swallow]

mobility support and 10% reduced pentalty passive

or play pathfinder

[wanton lark]

Probably I need to get myself new amulet with spirit since rhoa uses 60 spirit? Which skills are best for fast clearing maps? Assuming additional arrows. while using herald of thunder and ash?

Also, do you have an example or gems setup?

[sly swallow]

spirit or no spirit depends on the build. rhoa is a pain in the ass, I don't recommend her even with high stun threshold

gems for what build?

[coral peak]

Is there no point in even playing in multiplayer after Campaign? It seems all modes at endgame has no revives and 1 life type deal. The only possible activity is waystone but once revives are expended they can either spectate or go back to town

[sly swallow]

very confusing question, either you like this game genre or not, campaign is a tutorial, a preparation for the real game

[rocky sundial]

Don’t die 😂

[quartz cradle]

Yes there is a point, I'd be happy to yap about how my friend and I play together in HC but it's not without its challenges for sure

In softcore, we usually played solo if we got past the 70% mark to the next level. We would both lock in, do our own thing, and come together to show what we've changed and learned, as well as to play on some "juiced" maps with PREFIXES ONLY

It was usually my idea, but while solo mapping I would of course be corrupting some waystones along the way. I may use some of the good ones solo, but really I would go for XP and atlas distance when solo, and I'd go for pure currency and no suffixes when duo

Taking your friends kills, causing extra screen clutter, not paying attention to whos being targeted by a mob, not being able to pause as quickly, the list goes on regarding group play challenges.

Either accept it and lean into the potential risks in order to vibe with others, or find yourself a support build that you can use to socialize while your main character progresses solo

[coral peak]

Yeah, my 3 friends quit after reaching T3 Waystones. Died multiple times and called it

[quartz cradle]

Were you guys just slamming 6 mod t3s or actually running simple magic waystones with nothing risky on them

Most of the bullshit starts at T11 and up, or if you juice the map with more damage.

Different classes have an easier time getting max HP/es up, a new player will have a hard time figuring out what the best course of action is. Heck, I played invoker for 2 months and didn't use subterfuge mask the entire time 😅. Had no clue how hard I was making the game for myself, other ways included

Let them take a break, share your progress and some clips of cool shit, and bait them back in.

[sly swallow]

this is common, many quit during the campaign, the game is simply hard and becomes exponentially harder if you don't know it very well. unlike games like diablo 4, poe2 has a slow, gradual progress, you can't just finish the campaign and already jump into hard maps, you start with the easiest maps and slowly increase the difficulty over time, that's what makes the game fun, you feel like you deserve your character's power level

all you gotta do is learn the game, buy the right items, craft skill gems, max out your atlas skill tree, keep buying items and at some point you will find yourself having an easy time with any kind of content. you can be pretty much immortal right now, with many different builds

[coral peak]

T3 Waystones with 3 mods, 3 revives total. They were close to Level 70

[sly swallow]

it was yours and your friends fault basically, it depends on how hard the mods are, and they should be playing t1 if t3 is too hard

and generally you should buy items that improve your survivability

[coral peak]

It's both an offensive and defensive problem

[sly swallow]

even with a budget build if you don't want to ever die you won't ever die

even in the hardest maps

the fault is not with the game

[coral peak]

I'll talk to them again and see, they are Amazon and Stormweaver

[sly swallow]

that doesn't tell me much

I can help you guys buy the right items to be more tanky

[coral peak]

They don't have PoE Ninja or other build links but I'll see what I can do

Is it 1 bar loss of xp on death or is it 10%

[sly swallow]

it's 10% of your experience. it starts hurting a bit after level 80, but really only becomes a problem after level 90

[quartz cradle]

My tips for early mapping as a new player are the same as everyone's tips for campaign: stop being so scared of death and embrace mistakes, it's hard knowing what killed you sometimes so record clips and delete em after.

Like creo said, 10% at your level is daunting for the moment and might feel like a waste of time, so focus on your knowledge and skills rather than brute forcing your way to the next level.

3 players is even harder than 2, but there are fun ways to mitigate that. If the Amazon and stormweaver are both lightning-based, one of them should be using Conductivity, that kind of thing.

[patent swift]

are ascendaies trial still so hard to do? (haven't played since the last season)

[sly swallow]

with a strong meta build first two trials can be done with leveling gear like one regal per item, third trial one exalt per item and then the fourth trial a few chaos orbs per item, one divine tops

[patent swift]

is it possible to do that for someone who has not played this season yet? or too late just wait next season?

[sly swallow]

to farm maybe 5 divines in total would be easy, sure

you could make a one divine build and then sell a campaign carry and become rich

or make a boss killing build and sell some citadels fragments, rich again

[patent swift]

a campaign carry? new words ngl

[sly swallow]

someone pays you to carry them through campaign in the forbidden trove discord server

there are many ways to get divines is all I am saying

[patent swift]

but i would still need like 40 to 50 hours to get through campain right?

[sly swallow]

regular campaign carry is around 3 hours

doing campaign with your first character for yourself maybe 20 hours

but if you can't do the campaign very fast the carry can be like 5 hours instead, but you could offer a lower price as compensation

[patent swift]

damn my spark sorc on the frist season took me like 40 hours lol

[sly swallow]

my spark stormweaver campaign took me 80 hours ^ ^

40 hours is twice faster than me

just a matter of game knowledge

[patent swift]

is the class the problem? :p

[sly swallow]

no, I had no idea what I was doing

[patent swift]

i was thinking to play the smith class

[sly swallow]

it's an ascendancy. here you go https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1398986938731593768

[patent swift]

alr will see what i will do, maybe i would evenjust give poe1 a try instead and wait for next season

• thanks for the info

[sly swallow]

you are welcome

[torpid wave]

the new update should be coming soon right?

[idle hazel]

August 29th

[floral flare]

Anyone want to help me run though some quests im getting stuck a lot lol

[coral peak]

Is Level 88 enough for all of endgame content? Considering I gather the necessary gear together

[idle hazel]

Sure, technically fine. You get level 20 gems at level 90, which can be a boost, but outside of that, any levels past 90 are purely just passive points that likely won't be core to your character.

[sly swallow]

level 60 can be enough for all I know, it depends on your build

[versed valley]

Hi, If I balance my str and int to be exactly the same I should get both bonuses from rational doctrine right?

[median escarp]

yes

[versed valley]

okey, so could someone tell me what am i missing, because I can't see consecrated ground around me.

my str can be higher and i still cannot see it, idk whats wrong

nvm i got it

[sly swallow]

this looks weird, if this is poe1 don't talk about it here

[wanton lark]

To get last 2 points I need to find a map with "Map Boss", "Irradiated" icon and + 1 Monster level ?

[copper raft]

No, 10/10 points is from T0 Arbiter of ash.

[wanton lark]

I guess I'm watching incorrect/outdated guides

Thanks

[wanton lark]

Any tip how to get Map Boss and Irradiated icons to that map?

[ripe pumice]

I don't know exactly why you need both since the max area level this map can be is 82, with a T16 map, the +1 already there, and either irradiated OR boss with relevant atlas passive. And your previous screenshot showed that you already have the points for a boss in an alvl 82 map.

But in any case, you should do a high tier map in the tower T15/T16 to increase the number of maps affected by tablets, then use both the boss and irradiated tablet with the max number of affected maps in the tower. And just get lucky.

[shell smelt]

im done with the campaign and only got 4 ascendancy points. i got one try at trial of the sekhemas but failed to get 6 points. what should i do

[wanton lark]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/map-boss-atlas-skill-points
How I understand the guide is to obtain last points I need Area Level 82 - Tier 16 Map with Irradiation AND +1 to Monster Area Level (Corrupted/Cleansed Modifier)

[quartz cradle]

It says in that same guide

Map Boss Kill Conditions
In order to acquire your Map Boss Atlas Skill Points, you'll need to defeat a Map Boss under certain conditions.
Area Level 79
Area Level 80
Area Level 81
Area Level 82
Defeat the Arbiter of Ash and complete the Pinnacle of Flame Quest

[wanton lark]

I already completed Arbiter x2, 10mins ago

But only this points were increased

Area Level 82 - incomplete only

[quartz cradle]

This is normal. The better gear you have the more likely you can ascend using a barya equal to your level. This includes gear you can wear as well as the relics you put in each sekhemas run.

What to do? Run some maps, ideally nice and simple waystones without any incredibly hard modifiers. Getting from level 65 to 78 is usually the quickest part of leveling, but on your first character you can take it slow, lotttt to learn and absorb

[quartz cradle]

thing is you can do it out of order

So you earned your book from arby

[wanton lark]

Area Level 79 - completed
Area Level 80 - completed
Area Level 81 - completed
Area Level 82 - INCOMPLETE
Defeat the Arbiter of Ash and complete the Pinnacle of Flame Quest - completed

[quartz cradle]

Yes

[wanton lark]

So, how to complete area level 82?

Tier 16 Map with Irradiation AND +1 to Monster Area Level (Corrupted/Cleansed Modifier) ^

[quartz cradle]

Area Level
The Area Level is determined by the Tier of your Waystone and Area Modifiers, and this can be increased in a few different ways.

[wanton lark]

Right?

[quartz cradle]

Read below what I copied

The guide has all the info, with images, and warnings on the bugs currently known

[wanton lark]

I don't want to do it with the bugs

[quartz cradle]

Yes it's this with irradiated as well

[wanton lark]

Because I'm trying to prepare myself for a new league

[quartz cradle]

Bugs would be preventing you from receiving points, has nothing to do with cheese

[wanton lark]

Area Level 82
Tier 16 Map with Irradiation AND +1 to Monster Area Level (Corrupted/Cleansed Modifier)
+3 Map Boss Difficulty must be allocated on the Map Boss Skill Tree

Exactly what I'm saying the whole time

[wanton lark]

^ and this is exactly why I need Irradiation AND +1 to Monster Area Level

[quartz cradle]

Are you still confused on anything? The moba guide has all the answers

"Organised Forces has been reported to be bugged in certain Maps, specifically those affected by Corruption and isn't recommended for acquiring your Map Boss Skill Points. It can only be acquired after achieving 8 Boss Skill Points so has little use anyway"

Bygirz mentioned using this node but the guide warns it should not be relied on to receive points. THIS is the reason you would irradiate the map AND put a boss in it. Simply putting a boss modifier on then relying on "organised forces" seems to not be wise

[nimble frigate]

Is there any updated ways to farm in POE2?

[shell smelt]

how do i unlock currency exchange tab in endgame

[bitter jewel]

You actually don't need to hit endgame. I believe it becomes available starting in Cruel. Act vendors are Finn > the defector you rescue in the cage > then Alva, who remains the vendor for it in your hideout.

[shell smelt]

it doesnt pop up on any of them for some reason

[bitter jewel]

Are you on your first character this league?

I don't remember for sure, but it may be that you need to hit maps on one character first, then it unlocks in Cruel for alts.

[shell smelt]

i was playing on ssf

[bitter jewel]

Ha! Okay, well that'll do it. 😄

[cinder stratus]

I just finished cruel act 3 and I have things to bring back to oswald in the town how do you fix the town to get back

[quartz cradle]

Travel to infested barrens and then open a portal, the portal should take you to the correct zigg

(anywhere in act 3 works, just open a portal and walk in iirc)

[shell smelt]

Why is there some maps i cant go to eventho they are connected to a map i have cleared

[bitter jewel]

If a map has 5 connections, there's a bug where one of them will not work, because maps can only have 4 connections.

It's a visual issue, hopefully fixed in 0.3 when the Atlas resets.

[unique zinc]

Why do some prefer frostblink and other flamerush?

[idle hazel]

That's a PoE1 question, you're in a PoE2 channel.

[wary loom]

I'm completing t3 maps for the corrupted nexus quest on a corrupted nexus node, but unlike the first two its seemingly not counting?

[idle hazel]

What tier of map is the quest asking for?

Because if I'm not mistaken, they reduced the number of Nexuses you have to complete to get all points, so it may jump tiers.

[wary loom]

at the moment Tier 3.

[idle hazel]

That's odd, then. Next one you get to, just attempt to do it at the highest Tier you can, it may just be listing the wrong tier, or there could be something else that's not coming to mind.

[shell smelt]

does it matter which tier waystone u use on a merchant map

[ripe pumice]

I would guess it matter for ilvl of items and some unique can't drop before 75.
But I have no idea if this restriction apply here, wait for another confirmation

[sly swallow]

@wary loom iirc corrupted nexus requires 4 or more mods

[oblique helm]

Hey, does anyone have some atlas recommandations for SSF playthrough?

[idle hazel]

Yes, but you wouldn't be able to enter it at all without 4 mods, it wouldn't result in the quest not progressing.

[ripe pumice]

I go for the biome node top left first for chances of jewelers mostly, then shrines for speed, boxes for the unique gamble one, and finish with the arc at the top for tablets efficiency.
But anything can work really.

Otherwise for gear, mostly target expedition and ritual. That's the only thing I'm doing outside of getting 8 points for each mechanism.

[oblique helm]

For 0.2 i did go with shirine and azmeri+ ending with rogue, but its felt do underwhelming and unrewarding

[iron pond]

How does this stat work? I have a flicker strike build so I'm pretty focused around lightning

[sly swallow]

it increases lightning damage, same damage bucket as all increased damage passives and mods

[shell smelt]

does anyone know?

[bitter jewel]

Yes it does, the tier sets the map level, and the map level is how he rolls his inventory.

I'm not 100% sure if he also caps his items at YOUR item level, but he definitely will only roll gear as high as the waystone level.

[shell smelt]

im not rly experienced with the atlas tree and i wonder what type of atlas tree i should go for and what stats to take. I play flicker strike monk if thats important. Can anyone help?

[solar atlas]

what does higher blasphemy skill do? dont see anything improving in the tooltip

[junior hornet]

it reduces the "less magnitude"

[sly swallow]

tablets, explicit mods, rarity, quantity, pack size, number of packs and rare monsters

[livid harbor]

hi everyone!
is it possible to get help on mapping in this channel? i would kinda need some1 to have a quick chat with me about what to do when 1st starting mapping.

I have some knowledge about it alrdy and have done some maps but I just want to be more effective about it, or if just some1 can confirm that what I am doing is ok or it can be done better

[livid harbor]

also...is there a quest guide for endgame? atlas quest walkthrough?

[idle hazel]

The quests are generally quite straightforward, and there should be a number of tutorial dialogues to guide you to your first Corrupted Nexus and stuff like that. It's just a matter of doing higher tier Corrupted Nexuses until you get all the points you can from them, and doing the league mechanics you find in the meanwhile to get to their pinnacle encounter.

[austere sandal]

usually what resistances do rares have in t15 maps ?

like what %

[bitter jewel]

This highly varies based on the mods the rares spawn with or are imbued with (from things like whisps), so there's not really a single answer.

You can get an idea of what you're fighting by looking at the symbols below their name on the right hand side -- elemental or armour symbols in white mean positive resistance, red means vulnerability (negative res), and no symbol means no resistance.

[idle hazel]

And gold means maxed out resistance, ie 75%

[bitter jewel]

Actually didn't know this one, good addition!

[austere sandal]

I see

so getting lighting pen

[idle hazel]

And on average, enemies with grey/white resistance icons seem to have around 30% resistance (at base, assuming no modifiers to enemy resistance), though I may well have missed any exceptions.

[austere sandal]

is pretty important anyway, if its my only way of penetrating res

[austere sandal]

got it

was trying to make sure that 30% penetration is not wasted

[bitter jewel]

At the risk of overcomplicating, also be aware that if you're applying exposure of the given element, this will stack with penetration, but penetration can only penetrate down to 0% resistance, whereas exposure can take the enemy resistance negative. This is why exposure is generally more difficult/mechanically expensive to apply.

[austere sandal]

I see, thank you

atm using conductivity but its not realistic to be able to apply it to every monster in a map

[bitter jewel]

yeah and that's fine, because exposure generally applies first.

So if you're fighting trash mobs, stacking them usually means pen does nothing.

The combo is mostly useful for bosses with high resistance.

[livid harbor]

cataclysm wake lvl 3+ means >=3?

[livid harbor]

when doing ascnedancy point 5,6 you have to go through first trial and only then can u access the second one or am I doing something wrong?

[bitter jewel]

If you're referring to the Sekhemas trail, for the 3rd set of points you need to complete three floors

If you want to get the points from Trial of Chaos, you need to do a run that has 10 trials.

[stable stirrup]

does quiver effect affect cadiro gambit?

[naive jungle]

I know this seems kind of vague but how has the game been since the release of dawn of the hunt? I wanted to keep playing but I feel like I've played so much and there's still only three Acts

[sly swallow]

I can help if anything. the goal in the endgame is to run nexuses and unique maps to max out the atlas tree, also find overlapping towers and citadels ans save them til you can run them. adjust your loot filter to not pick up garbage, max out league mechanic trees, exchange currency, buy items around level 65 abd then around level 80 maybe, then farm divines

[sly swallow]

great, I had a blast

[sly swallow]

don't waste a support socket on your main skill, get 30% lightning penetration on the passive tree, possibly jewels

[austere sandal]

pretty hard to get that on minions tho

[gritty pollen]

ive never played poe1 so i have a question, do pinnacle bosses ever get removed from the game once a league ends?
like for example a new boss gets added to endgame for a league, is that boss forever in the game or is it some type of limited time thing

[idle hazel]

If it's a core game boss - ie Arbiter of Ash, or Shaper and Elder from PoE1 - those are usually kept in the game, though sometimes the way to access that encounter changes when there are major endgame changes.
For league-specific encounters like Xesht, it would depend on whether the league is kept in the game. If the league is integrated into the core game, the boss typically remains. If it isn't, the boss may be removed, or it could be added to a Unique map, like with Synthesis.

[gritty pollen]

ah so breach is league specific?

[idle hazel]

Breach was a league back in PoE1, it was then added into the core game and is part of the core game in PoE2. Since PoE2 hasn't had a proper league of its own, there's not much else I can reference.

[gritty pollen]

ohh okay thank you

i just entered endgame and was curious

[idle hazel]

Basically, if it's a core game thing, it's probably not getting removed, if it's a league mechanic, it depends on how and if that content is kept after the league ends.

[atomic creek]

When will the game extend beyond Act 3?

[sly swallow]

can happen in september, but nobody knows

[idle hazel]

You mean August 29th, since that's when 0.3 is coming.

There are clues towards at least Act 4 being present, though obviously nothing is confirmed until we see the content reveal.

[languid trellis]

does anyone have Atziri's Acuity moulded mitts to trade

[deep adder]

Rule 6. No trading, begging, asking for 'loans', giveaways, tips for services, etc for any game. See #trading for alternatives.

[languid trellis]

oki sorry

[languid trellis]

can someone tell me how trading works , do I just need to whisper someone ingame and group up?

[latent wolf]

generally the easiest way to find items is through the trade website (https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2). then yes, you'll need to whisper someone (the website can do it for you if you click the button) and party up to do the trade

[languid trellis]

yeah I did that

[latent wolf]

currency and other fungible items can instead be traded on the currency exchange in-game

[languid trellis]

Im on ps5 but I didnt know how to trade

I invited the person into my hideout

I wanna trade gear

[languid trellis]

I did it I did it

the person before didnt know how to trade too xD

[austere sandal]

does this hit

hits my honor too?

[molten blaze]

This affliction sucks if you get hit by any monster

[molten blaze]

Yes all hits will reduce honour

[livid harbor]

i have morior invictus...should i just put 4x big iron rune for 25% higher armor, evasion and es or are other option good as well, i.e. 2x +14% to cold resistance since I am missing some cold resistance?
or...the thing is I need some will ,like 60...but will get only40 by putting rune into armor...is there a way toget +60 spirit ...i see it is a prefix( or whatever) on an armor written in gold? how u get that?

[quartz cradle]

They used a Fracturing Orb, which locks that affix to the item

On your former question, rarely do I see anyone with iron runes in their morior. Resistances or attributes are fine until you can afford some soul cores

[livid harbor]

can u replace resistance with soul cores afterwards?

[idle hazel]

You can freely replace the Socketables within sockets, you just can't remove them, only swap them to another Socketable.

[livid harbor]

nice...i have something eating up my spirit... i should have 130 but have 115? any idea what it is?

[idle hazel]

Do you happen to have any support gems in those Spirit skills that might be raising their Spirit reservation? I would assume they'd be shown in that UI, but perhaps there's a bug somewhere.

[livid harbor]

but the armor suffix get +10 to Spirit per Socket filled

ah yea...

canibalism support reserves 15 spirit

[fair plinth]

Does ignite not work in Simulacrum? My alt has zero problem mapping whatsoever and couldn't kill a single thing in simulacrum with incinerate/ignite

[keen pilot]

can u party snapshot boss' hp in poe2 like in poe1

[amber helm]

ignite works, sure

[fair plinth]

do they have a billion fire resist? Literally the first wave I couldn't kill anything, and I normally run T16's with six affixes without any issue whatsoever

[clear zodiac]

yo anyone knows why my primal strike isnt doing anything. its just a normal stab

[idle hazel]

You can check the icons under the Life bar, if they have a grey Fire icon, they're resistant to it (usually at 30%, assuming no other modifiers), if they have a golden icon, they're 75% resistant. However, the Simulacrum can also have a number of other modifiers that affect your damage and ignites, it should tell you what they are before you start a wave.

[idle hazel]

Is the target that you're hitting Shocked?

[shell smelt]

how do u craft tier 16 waystones

[idle hazel]

To get a T16, you need to corrupt a T15 Waystone and hope that it hits the outcome to upgrade it. They do not currently drop naturally.

[shell smelt]

can it just be a regular t15 or does it have to have some modifiers?

[idle hazel]

It can be any T15, but if you want it to have any affixes on it, you'd need to put them on before corrupting the Waystone, as you cannot modify it afterwards.

[gritty pollen]

can someone explain to me what a league mechanic is?

people are saying 0.3 might add a new league mechanic but does every new mechanic come with a new passive tree in endgame? and a new pinnacle boss?

because i thought the wisps were league mechanics but they dont come with any of that

[idle hazel]

Broadly speaking, a league mechanic is just any mechanic that originates from a league. PoE2 hasn't yet had a league with an exclusive mechanic, but most of the content currently present in endgame - that is to say, Breach, Delirium, Ritual and Expedition - were league mechanics in PoE1.

Wisps are just considered extra content compared to a proper league mechanic by today's standards, though.

[gritty pollen]

ohh alright thank you

that helps a lot

[idle hazel]

Also, they weren't exclusive to Dawn of the Hunt, as all content was added to the core game right away, and weren't guaranteed to spawn in all zones during the league, unlike a typical league mechanic.

[gritty pollen]

like i said before though, do actual full league mechanics introduce a new boss and passive tree?

[gritty pollen]

that makes sense

[idle hazel]

Typically, most league mechanics will feature some kind of endgame activity, be it a boss or something like Delirium's Simulacrum. In PoE1, they would only be added to the atlas passive tree after the league goes core - that is, added to the base game in a subsequent update - but we don't have proper precedent for how PoE2 will handle it. Considering that each mechanic has a separate tree with separate points (compared to one big tree in PoE1), they could have it on the atlas passive tree from the start.

[gritty pollen]

thank you, i never played poe1 so i was confused but you helped a lot

[languid trellis]

anyone strong who can help me clear a mob in a map please

I did it

[solar atlas]

anybody got this healthbar bug?

and know how to solve it

[languid trellis]

where can I find a detonator for the map

[idle hazel]

You mean Castaway? You get it from the boss.

[languid trellis]

there was a map I cleared and there was an npc next to an object I can use a detonator on

but i couldnt find it though

[idle hazel]

If you're referring to Expedition, that mechanic requires you to first place down the explosives to then trigger them with that object.

[languid trellis]

dont know if I missed sth

ok mmh didnt see any explosives to take

[idle hazel]

To place them, I believe you need to assign the action on controller

[languid trellis]

oh no I missed so much loot

[idle hazel]

You don't have to pick anything up, you just have a number you can place the moment you encounter the Expedition site.

[languid trellis]

okay thx

[zinc pike]

anyone who got a good lightning amazon build?if yes plz link it

i need some help

[gentle ivy]

why can't I see the Trial of the Sekhemas on the desert map in cruel? I killed Balbala and got the item, and I have the ascent to power quest. This happened on two seperate characters

[median escarp]

the quest is bugged, its not supposed to exist in cruel difficulty

[gentle ivy]

bruh it's been like this for so long😭

[median escarp]

cruel difficulty wont exist when the game fully releases so they probably so no reason in fixing a bug related to it

[gentle ivy]

oh that makes sense

[median escarp]

cruel is just placeholder for act 4-6

[gentle ivy]

that's a shame though, I like NG+ in games

[bitter jewel]

The campaign in POE is really a tutorial. It doesn't feel this way at the moment given how the early access content is laid out, but once we hit 1.0 the endgame content is really the bulk of your time.

For that reason + the fact you already will be running the campaign every time you roll a new character(s) each season, I think you'll ultimately end up appreciating not having to repeat the acts on a single character.

[gentle ivy]

That true

[sly swallow]

many mostly play the campaign, for them the campaign is the real game

[bitter jewel]

I grant that's true so far I'm POE2 yeah, fair. It's not traditionally how POE as a franchise is viewed though. I think we'll see that shift over time with this game.

We just need a lot more endgame content that's still missing.

[sly swallow]

yeah

[sonic trout]

Hey, is it better to do breach and delirium encounters after clearing, or as you encounter them during the map ?

[pseudo barn]

If you can handle it do them right away

Clearing the map first can make things a little easier if you aren't strong enough yet.

[sonic trout]

ok, thank you

[sly swallow]

always open up delirium asap

you enter the map and open it up

[graceful oracle]

are there any boots and chest that give any buff to fire/spell/skills/ailments/ignite/damage ? (outside of socketables)

[sly swallow]

I dont know any

[shadow smelt]

Quick question:

Has any new chapters been released in last 4 months?

[idle hazel]

Next update is coming out on August 29th, and is likely to have at least one campaign act, if that's what you mean by chapters.

[copper raft]

Not directly. There is a slim chance to get anoint on a chest piece when you apply essence of delirium. But overall, no.

[languid trellis]

how do you get to the 4 th trial for ascendancy points

[junior hornet]

you need to drop a level 75 barya or more, from monsters

or collect fragments from the 10 rounds ultimatum

[languid trellis]

okay thanks

so just do trial of chaos and hope I get fragment drops

[bitter jewel]

What do you mean by this? You can't instill a notable on a chest piece, only on an amulet. And it's not a chance based system, you know which one you'll get based on the distilled emotions you use.

[languid trellis]

do the fragments also drop in 7 trial runs

[copper raft]

An essence of delirium adds random "allocates x" suffix.

On a chest armor when you use it to upgrade common to magic or magic to rare.

[bitter jewel]

Ah! Apologies, those are so rare I forgot they existed. 😄 You're right, that is a possible avenue. But yeah, very very RNG.

[tacit palm]

Is the third edict expansion going to wipe everything on the 20th?

[junior hornet]

not really "wipe", your dawn of the hunt progress will go to standard and you can continue there

but if you wanna play the new update contents then you have to create a new character and start over in the new league

[idle hazel]

It also wouldn't be the 20th, but the 29th

The 20th is just the announcement and content reveal, the 29th is the actual release of the new league.

[silver nacelle]

i dont really know which chat this would go in but would it be better to create a new character for the season or just continue playing the same character i have

[median escarp]

apparently this league will have an exclusive league mechanic

it wont be going core immediately like the dawn of the hunt stuff did

[idle hazel]

Plus the usual, involving a fresh economy and what not.

The majority of people create fresh characters with each league, and it is generally the recommended way to play, but if you want to keep playing and don't trade much, you are free to play the character you already have. Just be aware that there may be significant balance changes, and they could result in your build functioning differently, or breaking it entirely.

[silver nacelle]

ok thanks

[loud raft]

anyone need help with anything?

[frigid lantern]

hey guys, do brown items scale with lvls? the stats? or it's same for every level?

[quartz cradle]

Brown... 🤔

I hope we are talking about Unique items

[frigid lantern]

yes haha

[quartz cradle]

items will never change or grow with you

But if you want a Unique item that grants a particular skill

You can farm higher level zones to drop a higher item level unique

"Corpsewade" unique boots are an example, they give you Decompose at a varying range of levels

[frigid lantern]

no i meant, i found these boots at lvl 16, i like the shock and lighting dmg, and i want same but higher lvl, with higher stats

[median escarp]

the stats dont scale

[quartz cradle]

They never change or grow with you

[median escarp]

pretty much all uniques you can get at a low level will be bad at higher levels

[frigid lantern]

ah that's sad

i liked these boots

[quartz cradle]

This pair of boots is really good for a specific build btw

And the 1-40 is wonderful for acts 1-3 at the very least

[frigid lantern]

yea, im lvl 75 now, and i feel it's dragging me down with stats, especially evasion that i need

but the lighting and shock is good for my lighting skills, and it's meh

[quartz cradle]

Oh yeah I'd take them off

You could get 25% speed, life or ev/es, resistances

1-40 damage is a lot for tangletongue builds but it looks like you run bow and quiver

[median escarp]

you can get shock from other sources much easier at a higher level

[frigid lantern]

tangeltongue?

[median escarp]

its a spear

[frigid lantern]

ahh, ye, im with bow and quiver yea

[sly swallow]

I can see these boots being used in a pinnacle boss oneshot build

but outside of this case I am not sure what they are for

[frigid lantern]

the thing is, im bad at builds, and i go with a ''gut'' , witch mostly leads for being bad at the game lol

but i really like these boots, especially when im getting chased from all sides

[sly swallow]

share your build if you have one

[frigid lantern]

easy lighting

[sly swallow]

you need as much ES on the boots as possible, plus 35% movement speed

plus resistances

[frigid lantern]

how to share it

or ss every item lol

[sly swallow]

poe2ninja or maxroll, you can import your build

[quartz cradle]

Going from 10 speed to 25 or 30 is already a huge difference wouldn't you agree 35 might limit their search a bit?

[frigid lantern]

i would rather not embarass myself ;DDD

[sly swallow]

yeah 25 or 30 is already much better

I am just saying 35 is ideal

[frigid lantern]

ES?

[quartz cradle]

Energy shield

Most evasion characters go hybrid with ES

[median escarp]

the thing with uniques is that they do something unique, and unless you need the specific unique thing they do then youd probably be better off with decent rares

[sly swallow]

read this https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1398986938731593768

[frigid lantern]

do i need it on ranger? i thought full evasion is the go

[sly swallow]

I recommend 5k life+ES to not die all the time

[quartz cradle]

Full evasion and life only gets you so far, eventually the benefit of ES cannot be beaten

[sly swallow]

evasion is fine above 60%

[median escarp]

energy shield is just better than life in the current state of the game

going hybrid or just pure es lets you scale your total hp much higher

[frigid lantern]

:DDDDD ALMOST

[sly swallow]

without life and ES evasion doen't do much, you will still die

2k life is a realistic number

but just get around 5k of total life+ES

[frigid lantern]

true, some random crits one shot me sometimes

thanks for info!

[sly swallow]

you are welcome, more in my guide

[frigid lantern]

checked one of the ranger builds, top rater, using 3 buffs, and i use none, says a lot about my gameplay LOL

[honest willow]

exalt +23 stun threshold. FML. This shyt is getting really old.

[languid trellis]

can someone tell me if the fragments from trial of chaos only drop in times 10 for the ascending boss fight

[quartz cradle]

Correct, if I'm understanding the question right

The fragment only drops from room 10, and the fragment you'll receive should be noted on the ultimatum token

[languid trellis]

ok thx

im level 75 and did not see a times 10 run coin mmh

[quartz cradle]

you might be 75 but the zone needs to be 75 as well, or very close to it

[languid trellis]

oh I see so I need to progress my atlas

[quartz cradle]

i will say that the usual method is sekhemas, are you in trade or ssf?

yeah, you can just blast from 75 up to 84 or so before the diminshed xp starts kicking in

doing your ascension at the same level as the enemy makes sense if your build is strong or you want a challenge

[languid trellis]

I dont have the sekhemas coin too

it must be 4 right

[quartz cradle]

correct

[languid trellis]

is it the same drop like the other on 75 zones

[quartz cradle]

sekhemas can take longer but you can go in with lots of relics to help out, chaos is shorter but you need all 3 fragments and you only get 1 per run. also it can be harder

uhhh sekhemas got a llittle buff this season i think its 65+

the end result is the same: run some maps, progress your atlas and build, youll drop plenty of both tokens as you map

[languid trellis]

alrighty, yeah I might give both a shot

I watched some guides on the boss fight seems not that hard I think

I uesed to raid savage in FF14 online so xD

[quartz cradle]

agreed, a lot of the pain in either is just learning what can brick you

[languid trellis]

thank you for explaining

[quartz cradle]

"monsters take 5% of life, es, and mana on hit" for example is a fuckin no-no

[languid trellis]

I already capped honour resistance

I try to get 30 speed on boots but its really hard to get some useful stats on it

[quartz cradle]

75% honour resistance, 50% or more max honour, and a sprinkle of merchant stuff or just more honour

if you are ES based, increased defences can be a banger too

[languid trellis]

do you think blink is enough as support for moving

[quartz cradle]

zarokh fight might be tough

but solo it should be fine

[languid trellis]

you need to collect the thingies to avoid getting oneshot

[quartz cradle]

each party member reduces how much time you have to pick up the 6 globes

he will boop you on the nose

and send you to the shadow realm

[languid trellis]

I got some 30 % speed boots but the substats are meh

[quartz cradle]

20% should be fine with blink

[languid trellis]

okay

[quartz cradle]

if you get a bad layout of the 6 globes im pretty sure you can just alt f4 and take the fight again right there

[languid trellis]

what level are those bosses

do I need to be level 80

[quartz cradle]

if the token says 75, it will increase each floor of the trial leading up to the boss

so 78 or 79

[languid trellis]

holy crap

[quartz cradle]

again level is irrelevant, you could kill these bosses at level 60 with the right gear, its all subjective

unless your 4th ascension is critical to your build, which it probably isnt, just go map xd

[languid trellis]

oh really I got my frost comet bloodmage build ready but the last ascenndy points are really vital

kinda sucks that you need to wait so long to get these skills

crimson power is really good

[quartz cradle]

haha ofc you are actually pllaying bm i didnt want to jinx it

yeah the 15% base crit is nuts

but for frost skills its not as bad as spark, since they have higher crit chance

like 11-13% crit for cold spells compared to 9%

[languid trellis]

it says gain additional maximum life of the energy shield on equipped body armor

so I put two greater iron runes in

[quartz cradle]

thats not integral to the build

that just one shot protection and more damage thanks to gore spike, but you have the leech node i presume

[languid trellis]

true but very helpful for the lifepool

some skills are draining so much at higher level

I´m so excited for the expansion hope we see some new acts

[idle hazel]

It is likely that we're getting Act 4, at least, though we'll only have confirmation once we get the content reveal on the 20th.

[frigid lantern]

does anyone know, why rings are ''larger font'' more in item filter? i know if they are socketed, or higher quality, u can salvage them into materials, but what's with the rings? do i have to salvage them as well, or something OP gonna apear if ill try to make them rare

[sudden rover]

Did they change the way mod tiers are ordered? Is t1 the best now?

[bitter jewel]

If you're using Neversink's public filters, they use economy data to set the priority of certain base types, which will impact their size and color.

[quartz cradle]

If you were the only player in the world, the amount of jewelry you end up with is much less compared to the plethora of armour and weapons that drop. I'd say jewels are the same but we have sekhemas showering you in jewels now

[frigid lantern]

so basicly no point of collecting them? i thought there's maybe rare mineral from them, i dont remember if it was diablo or poe that i played, where if you salvage 3 or something type of items with specific things, some rare material apears

but can't remember, getting old, memorie is bad :DDD

[frigid lantern]

yea, i know that, but i didnt understood how these gems are important in the curency

[quartz cradle]

using the Reforge Bench means you can 3:1 an item like this ring. but they have to all be the same base type and the same rarity.

still, you are correct that there is no point collecting them, maybe if that 15 mana per kill was 20% chaos resistance you could consider using an augment and regal orb to maybe hit 100+ life or another resistance, etc

much easier to save a few exalted orbs or a chaos orb and buy a nice ring

[gritty marlin]

The actual map itself

It's a fortress map and all the walls and rocks are invisible and there's large chunks of floor texture missing. I'm getting by but it's a real bother on my eyes

Does divine reroll implicit mod on uniques?

[rustic trail]

hey, do maps still only have 1 portal?

[idle hazel]

No, that was changed with 0.2. It now depends on the number of modifiers on the Waystone. You can also enter and leave the map as many times as you want, it no longer consumes any portals to do so.

[rustic trail]

[livid harbor]

crossbow shot gets 5 socket for support gems after u reach lvl 90? or how does the cross bow shot get 5 sockets since I cant use the jewelers orb?

[shadow smelt]

tyvm for the information : )

[idle hazel]

Default Attacks like Crossbow Shot scale in the same way as Ascendancy skills, so yes, you will get the last socket at level 90.

[livid harbor]

so i have huge FPS drops in group activites... is there any particular setting that can help it?my laptop is just 16gb ram with GTX 1660.... vulkan or d12? any setting that can help with the fps drop

[sonic trout]

Hello, I have to complete a "Tier 9+ Corrupted Nexus" for Cataclysm's Wake, I have found one, used a gold tier 9 keystone to open, completed all objectives in the map (even the optional ones) and yet I can't validate the quest. Can someone help ?

[languid trellis]

can someone tell me why I can´t use perfect Jewellers Orb on Infuse weapon

in order to get 5 slots

[amber helm]

skills granted by ascendancy gain sockets from character level

you can't use jewellers orb because it doesnt come from a skill gem

5 sockets is lvl 90

[languid trellis]

oh I see thx

so I just need to level up

[somber berry]

so what do you do if you screw your build at level 85 and can onyl run like t10 maps ...

[pseudo barn]

You keep farming whatever content you can handle until you fix whatever is wrong obviously

[somber berry]

[shell smelt]

is there a way to transfer/ trade loot or currency between characters?

[idle hazel]

Your stash is shared across all characters in that league, if that's what you're asking. For trading with others, you can right click on a party member and find the option to trade in the list.

[civic hawk]

Hey,
is there something similar to poe ninjas economy page that offers a general overview of currency/fragment prices?

[graceful oracle]

What is a good level to go into a pinnacle in HC?

Thinking of doing a lvl 1 breachstone and simulacrum maybe. Never done them before because I've been too scared lol

[bitter jewel]

https://poe2scout.com/economy/currency

Its accuracy had quite a bit of tracking error during 0.2, but the developer says it should be closer to realtime data for 0.3.

[civic hawk]

🤔

lmao, but ty. I will keep an eye on it

[bitter jewel]

Yeah like a said, not fully reliable

Best option right now is still Alva for checking prices.

[civic hawk]

Ye, i just like to get a general overview at a glance, so i dont spent time checking everything individally. I guess this will work fine even if it is +-50% off

[quartz cradle]

If you run tier 11 maps with breach you should be fine in your first breachstone

Simulacrum is the hardest content in the game, you're welcome to go in and try a few early waves since they aren't that bad, but sometimes the mods you get are bullshit or the rare mob's that spawn have a special combo of mods themselves

Leveling is arbitrary and doesnt mean you're strong or weak enough, but I'd be around Level 80-84

But leveling to mid 80s is fast if you're strong, so I'd also likely farm till 84 or 85 anyway

[graceful oracle]

I'm 85 but I'm still scared

And yeah, whenever I have to slam the Convalescence, it's usually in Delirium, not as much in Breach

but the Breach boss sees so much scarier

[quartz cradle]

Those maps might just be juiced to much for you or it was just bad luck or you didn't play well. It could literally be related to so many things that its impossible to pinpoint without more infos from you.

[livid harbor]

what info should I give you?

[pseudo barn]

The more the better

You have to realize your question is incredibly vague

[livid harbor]

Set up a build planner on sites like maxroll, mobalytics or poe2ninja

But even by just sharing your exact build probably nobody will be able to help.

anyone willing to help get all asendency points?

[idle hazel]

If you want someone to carry you, https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714168576249887. Otherwise, you'd need to share what you're having trouble with so that people can offer advice.

[odd imp]

Does Tailwind not give movement speed when combined with Queen of the Forest?

[amber helm]

read the last line

and if you're thinking with poe1 brain, tailwind doesnt give action speed, it gives movement speed in poe2

[soft tundra]

Can anyone help me with my build?

[sly swallow]

share the build

[languid trellis]

can someone tell me what add quality to support gems do?

[pure tulip]

there is a button that should show you advanced info when looking at a gem. that should tell you what quality does for this specific gem.

but idk what button it is on playstation

[languid trellis]

Okay thank you, I’m a bit confused is this mandatory for upgrading your dmg in the endgame

[austere sandal]

quality or what?

[pseudo barn]

Nothing is mandatory but obviously you still want to improve your character in all means possible, after all that's what arpgs are all about.

The power of your character is never tied on one thing only but it's always the sum of all things that matters most.

[last tapir]

I've sold 1 div for 720ex. It was worth?

[pseudo barn]

You can check the currency exchange npc ingame and look up current conversion rates.

[solar walrus]

Hey guys, i have a question, i have my main char in the endgame, do i have to start all over to play the fourth act when the update releases, or will there be an option to play it with my endgame character?

[pseudo barn]

You can keep playing your current characters but those won't have access to the content of the new league.

To play a new league you always need to start a new char.

No idea how exactly this will work specifically for act 4, its not league content but since it's the first act they are adding there is no precedence to judge on how it might work.

If there wasn't any info during yesterday's stream nobody can know exactly so you will just have to wait.

[idle hazel]

The act should be core content, only Rise of the Abyssal should be specific to the league.

[unique zinc]

I shipped a lot of pumpkin to Kalguur with values between 100k and 500k for gemcutter prisms, but even after five shipments I never received even one single prism. Am I doing something wrong or is wiki wrong or am I just a victim of bad luck?

[unique zinc]

ah damn, you are right, wrong channel, my bad

[pseudo barn]

Definitely but as far as I'm aware we have no idea how exactly it will be implemented

And if it's gonna be available for already existing chars that already reached endgame.

[solar walrus]

Okay, thanks man

[iron pond]

Is there an easy to way to calculate how much gold a complete respec will cost me?

[median escarp]

check how much it costs to respec 1 point and multiply that by the number of points you have

theres a total of 24 points from campaign quests and 99 points from leveling up, 1 per level

[vast anvil]

does decimating strike removes concentration?

it says "remove between 5% and 30% of Life, before the damage of the Hit is applied."

so its not obvious

is that remove a part of concentration or not

[plain raven]

does anyone know if you can transform quad tabs into merchant tabs? or only vanilla small premium tabs

[bitter jewel]

Yes, you'll be able to once they enable that functionality on the website.

[dusky star]

did they mention it in the Q&A? I didn't see it in the reveal (but would make sense to have quad merchant tabs)

[bitter jewel]

Inference from Mark's comments that they need to support trade from them since people paid for them for that purpose.

[dusky star]

aite

even if it's not in, I'm sure they'd add it quick when people get (rightfully) annoyed

[light kettle]

Does anyone know what does "physical damage based on their skill level means"?

[median escarp]

it means the amount of physical damage you have from that will be based on the level of the skill youre attacking with

[light kettle]

Is this mean I have 0?

[median escarp]

no

the physical damage it has is based on the level of the skill youre attacking with

we dont know the actual numbers yet

and wont know until next week

[light kettle]

based on the level of the skill in this example it would be flicker strike right?

[median escarp]

these are obviously not accurate numbers, but as an example if your skill was at level 15 youd have 150 physical damage, if it was at level 20 it would have 220 damage or whatever

yes the level

[light kettle]

aaa

i see

thanks

[formal solar]

So if I understand conversion in PoE2 correctly, using Blackflame Covenant would mean you want to scale chaos damage, not fire right? Since conversion happens on base damage and is scaled after?

[amber helm]

yep

[formal solar]

okay cool, that's simple enough.

[lean pulsar]

So the better option instead of Sorceress is witch right to better scale chaos? But on this case better option will be full chaos which. What is the reason use fire spell to convert chaos .. (with blackflame mode). I dont understand idea...

[keen pilot]

to use fire spells/ignite i suppose

[median escarp]

there isnt any ascendancy nodes on witch that scale specifically chaos damage

[fast horizon]

hey does anyone know wth is wrong with casters?
I am doing no damage at T1 maps O_O

[sullen geyser]

How do I add skills from the tree to the amulet? I want to change one I have but forgot how to since haven't played for a while

[pseudo barn]

Nothing is wrong with them, there is just something wrong with your build/character. And what that is is impossible to determine without you sharing your exact character. You can't possibly expect someone to help with such a vague question.

[pseudo barn]

It's called anointing. Look at a passive in the skill tree and press alt iirc

That will show you the combination of distilled emotions you need to apply to your amulet to get the related passive on it.

[undone merlin]

Can someone tell me the name of the support gem that let's you have twice as many uses of a skill with 50% more cooldown time? Something like that.

[terse raven]

i just got my first 2 breach points, is there a recomended allocation?

[quartz cradle]

Grasping Hands is a fine all-rounder in my eyes, crumbling walls is a lot of fun when it procs but otherwise it's okay to rely on one solid breach per map, maybe two if you use certain breach tablets.

Interdimensional vs sustained is dependent on your build. If you can't full clear breaches you can slow them down, if you are sitting there waiting for monsters you can speed them up.

Been a while since I've started with frantic invasion, and it's harder to tell now that you drop all the splinters at the end of the breach.

Once you have all your breach points you usually take Frantic + Rising, Interdimensional, and then choose either Crumbling or Grasping, usually Crumbling

[terse raven]

❤️

[opal bison]

how many merchant tabs are yall converting for free before league?

unsure how many to do, thinking 3-5

[formal solar]

I'm gonna decide once I get to a point where I can actually do trade tbh

[opal bison]

but the conversion for free period is over at release, thats the tricky part. its going to be core even for poe 1 after they trial it

[formal solar]

i thought you meant 0.3 release

[opal bison]

in the next leauge in 1 week we will have the merchant offline trade tabs

[formal solar]

yes i know this

[opal bison]

by that point we can no longer convert our premium tabs to merchant tabs for free

[formal solar]

no, you cant convert until 0.3 releases

[opal bison]

you didnt watch the reveal did you

[formal solar]

i watched the entire thing and saw the blog posts after

Premium Tabs purchased before August 29th will be able to be converted into Merchant Tabs after the release of 0.3

[opal bison]

@formal solar

[formal solar]

Here's the official FAQ about stash tabs. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3827171/page/1#p26285849

Speaking of stash tabs, when will I be able to convert my existing Premium Stash Tabs into Merchant’s Tab?
Once 0.3.0 releases next Friday, you will be able to convert your Premium Stash Tabs purchased before the launch into Merchant’s Tabs from your account settings on the website.

Just to clarify, the option to convert your Premium Stash Tab to a Merchant's Tab will be made available on the Path of Exile 2 website when the 0.3.0 patch is deployed on August 29th (PST).

[opal bison]

im not saying we cant buy them later, im talking about converting our existing prem tabs

[formal solar]

yup, same

Once 0.3.0 releases next Friday, you will be able to convert your Premium Stash Tabs purchased before the launch into Merchant’s Tabs from your account settings on the website.

[opal bison]

im seeking understanding about the functionality of them after converting, do we lose the base tab at that point

[formal solar]

yes

[opal bison]

so we can do all of them and still have them in our main stash? a different set of tabs in the merchant window?

[formal solar]

When you convert a premium stash tab into a merchant tab, you lose the tab in your stash and get a merchant tab instead. It is ONLY Premium Stash Tabs that can be converted, not Quad, not any of the specialized tabs either.

[quartz cradle]

Only premium and no premium quad is news

[opal bison]

@formal solar when i go to the poe 2 site and click on account, like in the video, it doesnt show me the option to convert. is it not live yet?

[formal solar]

No, it won't be live until 0.3 releases next friday

[opal bison]

just like you said earlier 🙁

i misunderstood the message they put out

[vast anvil]

Do banners snapshot from secondary weapon set?

[vast anvil]

and specifically stuff like valour (soon glory) gained

for example I place a banner from set 2

then switch for set 1 main damage setup

but I have +100% valor gained on set 2

will my set 1 get this or not

[slate horizon]

Was thinking about doing an elemental bloodmage build next league maybe doing ice/lighting or lighting/fire but want to focus on bleed with bloody barbs but was wondering if i would get better bleed scale focusing on elelmental damage or by focusing on the other bleed mechanics like aggrevation

[indigo yarrow]

i don't see this function in my account

why

[idle hazel]

It isn't present yet. It will be added once 0.3 is released.

As is, there are no Merchant's Tabs in the game, nor a Merchant, so you wouldn't be able to convert to them.

[indigo yarrow]

oh i see

thank you sir

it seems only Premium Stash can be converted, right ?

how about Quad premium ?

[idle hazel]

I believe it was confirmed to be only regular Premium Stash Tabs.

[indigo yarrow]

oh

[idle hazel]

Ah, found it

[indigo yarrow]

this one?

[idle hazel]

Yes, that kind of stash tab. You will also be able to purchase Merchant's Stash Tabs directly after 0.3 is released, if you'd like to keep your current tabs for regular trade or storage.

[indigo yarrow]

i got it

thank you sir

[vast anvil]

you can also upgrade normal tabs that you have by default

into premium stashes

[regal terrace]

I was gonna go Earthshatter but just happend to get a Volcanic Fissure of Snaking. Which is better? HC SSF

[regal terrace]

oops sry this is poe2 channel. Ok thx!

[sullen geyser]

Any ideas if this will work on ailments from converted damage?

[bleak tapir]

no reason it shouldn't, it's cast on ailment, not cast on elemental damage

[amber helm]

sure

as long as you're actually dealing the ailments

[sullen geyser]

It doesn't work rn for cast on freeze with fire converted to cold tho

[amber helm]

it doesn't? that sounds like a bug, if so

[sullen geyser]

It stopped worked with huntress patch iirc so I thought it's intentional

[copper raft]

Cold damage have relatively low freeze buildup unless a skill is meant to freeze people.

You might have killed everyone before freezing.

[vast anvil]

Fragmentation rounds (projectile tag gem) hits a target with projectiles getting bonus from projectile damage nodes.
Fragmentaiton rounds hit frozen targets that consume freeze and explode these in an aoe. Does this aoe get bonus from projectile damage nodes or its not counted as a projectile?

[sullen geyser]

I have gloves for conversion. My fire storm freezes pretty much everyone before killing them, even common mobs. And gives 0 energy for cast on freeze no matter how many targets I freeze

[slim summit]

My bloodhunt isn't consistently applying impale like it did yesterday, takes me 3-4 tries before it does. Was this mentioned in any patch or so? was impale changed

[median escarp]

does firestorm turns also purple when using blackflame covenant keystone

[sullen geyser]

They just said fire spells iirc. Would be cool if it was for all fire tho - like getting it on warrior

[undone merlin]

[left ivy]

Do these new supporter packs go away after the new league ends?

[alpine remnant]

So what is the deal with the preload? I have the game downloaded through steam, so should I get the poe 2 launcher to get the torrent the day before?

[bitter jewel]

The torrent only works for people using the native launcher. If you're using Steam, you will be able to download when the Steam depot is updated by GGG, usually a few hours before servers go live.

[indigo yarrow]

The Called Shots Notable Passive Skill no longer lets you apply an additional Mark. Instead it causes your projectiles to chain to marked enemies, and grants the new Called Shots Meta Skill that repeatedly marks enemies near you, bypassing your Mark limit.

?? does it mean I can apply many marks on the same target ??

[junior hornet]

I'd assume the passive skill can, but not you, you can't add more marks on top of it

[indigo yarrow]

the new skill "Called shots"

how does it work?

[zenith sigil]

i mean, we know as much as was mentioned in whatever interview it was mentioned

iirc wasnt it that it just auto applies marks without limit to enemies close to you ?

it causes your projectiles to chain to marked enemies, and grants the new Called Shots Meta Skill that repeatedly marks enemies near you, bypassing your Mark limit.

so you will have a skill in your list that you can socket a mark into, that will just auto mark enemies near you

and then your proj chain to them

[indigo yarrow]

It basically what the current mark can do

Mark
Marks are a family of Debuffs that apply powerful effects to a single enemy, usually for a limited duration. You can have multiple Marked enemies at once, but each individual enemy can only have a single Mark applied to them at once.

[zenith sigil]

it bypasses the 1 max limit of applied marks

so it will mark everybody around you with the same mark

dunno what the range will be

[indigo yarrow]

oh

if I put 2 different marks in the socket

hmmmm

[zenith sigil]

no clue how many marks it will allow

[indigo yarrow]

Gathering Winds
Ascendancy: Deadeye
Character: Ranger
Gain Tailwind on Skill use
Lose all Tailwind when Hit

it means I just click a random skill

and get tailwind easily ?

[junior hornet]

yeah

even reload would get a stack

[indigo yarrow]

LMAO

interesting

i never play deadeye before

but now i know why she's hot

[zenith sigil]

tailwind is basically: you get momentum as long as you keep doing shit

[cedar nimbus]

Is the Trial of Chaos still bugged on console? I just finished it totally, all ten trials, clicked on the statue and it would not let me input my final set of ascendancy points

[idle hazel]

If you were looking for the 4th set of points, you need to complete the Trialmaster encounter in order to get them. This requires getting 3 fragments for the door at the end of a 10 room Trial.

[cedar nimbus]

Oh, ok, I attempted him and got pwnd so that explains it

damn, oh well

ok now i'm re-attempting a new trial and it says "operation cannot be completed" after i restarted the entire game

figured it out, leave the instance, reset instance, and bam

[undone merlin]

This game is fucking with me hard today. I usually only die once or twice a day but today when I hit 99% to lvl 85. My first death today followed shortly by 5 more deaths all but two of them I didn't even see what hit me. Just 1 shotted. Pulling my hair out. All but chaos resist is maxed. 22% armor, 41% evasion. One of the one shots wasn't even from a rare or boss. Did something change? My gear just sucks?

[soft tundra]

They implemented a near level-up detection and are conspiring against you.

[sly swallow]

why are you listing armour and evasion?

what is your life+ES?

[undone merlin]

im mostly kidding but it feels like it. decided to just quit for now obviously way off my game or something.

[undone merlin]

1500 life basicly no es. been doing good up till t13 . i think with all my lightning around it it obstructs visual indicators of incoming attacks. what should i be shooting for on life andES for a spear thrower?

[sly swallow]

my rule of thumb is under 5k life+ES is a glass cannon, between 5k and 10k is moderately tanky, and above 10k is tanky

1500 life+ES is nothing

so just get more ES if you don't want to die

can you rephrase your question in a more understandable way?

[undone merlin]

ok yeah that explains it. i forgot to get armor with life on it. was primarily thinking about rarity find and resistances. guess i gotta buy new stuff. thanks bud

[novel trout]

i skipped 0.2 entirely, can someone confirm GGG already switch item mod tiering system? just want to make sure that T1 mod is the highest/best tier like poe1

[bitter jewel]

They did! T1 is best tier for all item affixes now 🙂

[novel trout]

thank you!

[hollow turret]

chat how do you get "Farrul's Rune of the Chase"?

is it a drop from the boss rush unique map?

or just a random drop anywhere

[bitter jewel]

Random drop, but it's an endgame rune, so not common.

[sly swallow]

unidentified tiers go from low to high, map tiers and pinnacle tiers go from low to high, suddenly item mod tiers go from high to low

it's confusing and makes no sense

[bitter jewel]

Yeah I didn't want to overcomplicate for the sake of his question. I do agree they should flip the map tiers at some point since those are affixes.

The unidentified tier system is more intuitive as-is imo, but I understand why it can be confusing given the labeling similarity.

[sly swallow]

noo, they should make everything low to high like it always was

high tier is good in my mind

but whatever, I usually don't check the mod tiers anyway, you see immediately if the roll is high or not without knowing the tier

[bitter jewel]

You definitely want T1 to always = "best". Doing it the other way is way more confusing for new players, and even veteran ones in most cases, because you have to leave the game to find out how many tiers there are in a give affix.

[sly swallow]

ahh this is why

[bitter jewel]

Having high tier = best works for games like LE, where ever affix always has the same number of tiers.

But in POE affixes have a wide range of tier numbers. Yep.

[sly swallow]

makes sense

[bitter jewel]

Like most design decisions, it has big pros and cons.

What's different with the unidentified item drops is that all of them have 10 drop tiers.

The first five are hidden. The next five show on the ground as Tier 1 to 5. So Tier 5 is always the best for every drop.

But this is unintuitive due to how affixes work. It's weird for sure.

[sly swallow]

true

[pulsar hollow]

Alright, reconfigured and resorted all my tabs in prep for the new league, i would like some input, even just a simple "looks good", on if i missed anything or undershot somewhere. I got:
-2 quad tabs for dumping stuff pre-sorting
-a Crafting folder with:
--Currency
--a tab for crafting bases/items to upgrade
--essence tab
--Omen tab
--Breach tab
--socketable tab
-a gearing folder with:
--gems
--2 normal tabs for storing gear i might use later
-a mapping folder with:
--a maps tab
--a delirium tab
--3 normal tabs for fragments (those things kept piling up last league)
-an "other" folder with:
--a unique collection
--a "flex tab", which i can use if i need a tab for smth new from a league
-and finally 4 trade tabs i will convert into merchant tabs

does this look good? did i miss anything?

[sly swallow]

currency would be good in a currency tab
essence, omen, breach, socketable, delirium, splinters all fit nicely into one quad tab

[pulsar hollow]

i got unique tabs for essence, omen, breach socketables and delirium

and the currency is in the currency unique tab in crafting folder

[sly swallow]

I recommend separating maps and tablets into regular and good ones, for your own use and for sale

[pulsar hollow]

ah yeah i did kinda do that, each map tier i got 3 entries for unsorted, and then good maps, very good maps, and super juiced maps

[sly swallow]

hmm one quad tab would be sufficient for all of those, but that's fine

well you have really a lot of tabs, but it looks good

[pulsar hollow]

wonderful
yeah last league i kept going "aw man this sucks its unsorted" or "well the tab is full"
and kept getting more tabs to fix it
but eventually navigating the tabs also became a bit annoying

certainly prefer having unique tabs so things are sorted though

[sly swallow]

unique tabs only solve the storing problem, you still have the picking up problem

just don't pick up garbage

[pulsar hollow]

yeah, i use neversink filter and gradually increase strictness during the league
tho i worry i sometimes dont pick up stuff that might be valuable, so hopefully a second dump tab and learning some more about what other classes want fixes that

[sly swallow]

sounds good

[steel finch]

🌺 Hiii! I'm not a complete basic bish in Wraeclast and I've seen some things and learned some stuffs. But I would like to know about specific stats on items that make them valuable compared to some stats that should be left on the floor.

I know life/ ES + resist is good. High skill/ spell/ elemental levels is good

[sullen tide]

no gigakeep tab

[nova pawn]

is there a way to get to the battle royal mode?

also is there a way to make a free for all duel in a party somehow? or only duels?

[visual tendon]

If I have 50% inc fire damage and 50% inc chaos damage on tree, 100% conversion fire to chaos and 100% damage as extra Fire - assuming base fire damage - do I do 150% Fire + 150% Chaos?

[quartz cradle]

What skill? Need to know if it has its own conversion like perfect strike, or if it's a spell like fireball.

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/damage-conversion

Here's a resource

[visual tendon]

Didn’t have anything specifically in mind. It was more a question about if you can scale “as extra” damage if you have “increased damage” effects

[quartz cradle]

You can

If you use ice strike, with invokers 10% damage gained as lightning, you can scale the small amount of phys, the large amount of cold, or the even smaller amount of lightning.

Ice strike converts 80% of phys to cold, and those post-conversion numbers are then used for the 10% damage gain. THEN you apply modifiers like increased phys/cold/elemental/lightning and you have your damage.

[keen pilot]

if you gain extra, its additional damage thats scaled by other inc on tree than main thing

[keen pilot]

so in your example, assuming fire spell, it would be 100% converted to chaos (scaled by inc chaos to 150% at end) and then 100% extra fire (scaled by inc fire to 150% at end)

so you're correct

[stray shuttle]

So what do you guys do after campaign to start farming currency ASAP? I usually just run maps cluelessly and hope to get divs lol

[zenith sigil]

most currency doesnt come from raw chaos/divine drops

but from selling rares/uniques or using currency exchange to convert wahtever currencies/essences/etc... you arent using into chaos

[stray shuttle]

Yee, like ik poe1 people usually do heist, legion and essences initially then move on to ritual and stuff right

Just curious what people do on poe2

[zenith sigil]

the mechaics arent yet as flushed out and targetable as in poe1, so you kinda just do everything

or wahtever your build is good at

[stray shuttle]

Ah okay makes sense

[hollow turret]

This past league I did essences to start with

Just take the nodes on the atlas tree

[stray shuttle]

Ye i probably will ty (:

[stray shuttle]

Might be a sekhema gamer this league too

[ripe obsidian]

when a passive node refers to "burning enemies" is that the same as ignited enemies?

[shell smelt]

hi idk where i should post this but i was wondering how people make alot of currency. Like how do they make alot of divines and even better. I found a method to trade currency for hight then back for lower but it costs alot of gold over time so i was wondering how other ppl does it

[pseudo barn]

Trading

It's always trading that makes the most money, you can farm juiced maps and get your basic needs but to get rich you will need to trade.

[vast anvil]

Do we already know if it can be all if balanced or not?

[keen pilot]

considering all other mechanics can, probably yes

esp. that they explicitly said "for each"

[vast anvil]

I dont think we ever had this exact phrasing before

[lucid dove]

We haven't, but based on the power level and the fact that Wise Oak in PoE 1 encouraged balancing in a similar fashion, I would be surprised if it doesn't work

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_Wise_Oak

[keen pilot]

yes it reminded me of the wise oak phrasing a lot

[odd imp]

Any reason this trial says Victorious?

[keen pilot]

u get victorius fate at end afaik

[sly swallow]

to juice maps to the fullest you need quantity of items and rarity of items mods on maps and tablets, rarity mods on your own items (100-150% is fine), max out the atlas skill tree including league mechanic trees and get the passives there that buff explicit mods, tablets, pack size, number of packs and rare monsters, rarity and quantity of items. get at least 3 prefixes on the map, put three paranoias on it, do the maps overlapped by three or four towers using visions of paradide and other unique tablets depending on the league mechanics and invite some experience leechers to boost the loot if you want

for me selling services was more profitable than maps

[winged bison]

Quick question about hideouts. Do you have to get a new one every league and are they split between hc and non hc? I got close last league when my hc died and I want to know if I can take my sc character a little further and have it for my hc new league.

[pseudo barn]

You don't need to get a new one, no idea about HC vs SC.

Whats the working/easy to get conversion of Frenzy>Pcharges besides Resonance keystone right now?

[pseudo barn]

I assume they don't carry over between HC/SC tho

[idle hazel]

They're account-wide, once you unlock a hideout they're unlocked in all leagues.

[winged bison]

Thanks for the response, looks like I got a lil homework before friday

[slate horizon]

Is crimson power worth getting?

Im gonna run rathpit bloodmage but im not sure if i should overflow my life or just stack es

[sly swallow]

yes ofc, crimson power is a must

[past shell]

does the atlas have some kind of search function?

[slate horizon]

Do you think it will work with the abyssal belt

[sly swallow]

what belt

[remote prairie]

Darkness enthroned, it's a Poe 1 belt making an appearance in 2 that buffs the effects of any runes slotted in the belt

@sly swallow

[sly swallow]

ahhh right I saw it in the trailer

not sure what it has to do with crimson power

[remote prairie]

What does crimson power do?

[sly swallow]

it gives you as much max life as your chest has ES

[remote prairie]

Ahh because if the item works as it says it'll increased the effect of the runes sockected on the chest

[median escarp]

no, it allows you to socket runes into your belt as if it was [insert item] and it increases the effect of those runes

so i dont even know if iron runes would work because the belt doesnt have its own stats

[median escarp]

it needs this mod because belts cannot normally have sockets

[terse raven]

this is my first time getting to the end of the Sekhema Trial, ive only got 1 gold key, do i do a prime gold royal or a gold time-lost cache, i dont know the difference between a prime and a not prime cache

[remote prairie]

Does one have a chance for items you need?

Like a better helm or boots

[terse raven]

ive only got 25%move speed on my boots ig, is going for the prime gold boots cache worth it

[rocky bay]

Heyo, I wanted to ask how melee (and especially monk) are doing right now, compared to the initial release? I played a melee combo monk back then but it felt fairly clunky, and my other builds were all ranged

[sly swallow]

melee builds in general became much weaker imo

but maces and qstaves can destroy all content of course

[copper raft]

Iron runes most likely useless on Darkness Entroned, they increase stats on an item.

There's a lot of other runes you can put instead.

[paper flame]

I've never got really far in poe2 cuz I get very bored once I get to maps so like. How does balistas work? I saw the tactician change or mortar cannon and im just wondering how's the like Playstyle ?

[pseudo barn]

Hard to tell since it hasn't been released yet

[scenic cloak]

a bit more on the passive side if you dont mind that

in like your character doesnt do the damage and some people really dont like that

try it out maybe before

[paper flame]

Do they shoot automatically or do you shoot and they do? Would you want the machine gun crossbow then?

[scenic cloak]

never played it but they should fire automatically

[scenic cloak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HluF-NPh0fU&t

[paper flame]

maybe i do try it idk

[quartz cradle]

Gave p2wny a second chance just now and had to close the vid when he said Shockburst rounds can be used for Shock 😅

Sadly I don't think mortar totems will consume the heat you generate from rapid shot either

[uneven sedge]

took break from the game after the very first season, passed the guild to friend i dont think he's active anymore and i cant get hold of him. i paid for the guild tabs out of my own pocket. if i contacted the support do you think they will give me the guild lead back again?

[silk schooner]

would "random extra content" mean like a random league mechanic like breach,expedition,ritual,etc ? or is it more like strongboxes,azmeri,shrines and exiles ?

[shell smelt]

to get good loot for yourself or trading. Whats the most efficent way to do so? if ur passed level 80 should u still do trials for the loot
do u get good loot from breaches and pinnacle bosses?
if u run maps with towers. what type of tablets are the best for most loot
and which method is best in your opinion?

[pseudo barn]

Yes, yes, loot quantity and quality, there is no definitive best method;

[bitter jewel]

None of those mechanics you listed are extra content. Nor are they random, as you can see if they're in the map before you enter. Extra Content is a keyword and has a defined list of features (which will likely grow over the course of future leagues)

[serene heath]

Are there any examples of an invoker being more caster oriented rather than on hit with quarterstaves/bows? I've been trying to find something and I just cant find anything.

[slate horizon]

Correct me if im wrong bleed damage is based on the damage of the hit that causes the bleed?

[iron pond]

Is my breach glitched? I entered the breach and walked all the way to the other side, nothing spawned and then it teleported me back to the hand thing

[quartz cradle]

Yes, I've seen spark CoC and bone cage/bone storm CoC

Definitely more niche and doesn't make use of all the ascendancy nodes, but it's definitely an option

[idle hazel]

Like all other damaging Ailments, it is based on the pre-mitigation Damage of the Hit that inflicted it, yes.

[slate horizon]

So if im going bloody barbs spark wouldn't be a good skill for bleed but comet would be?

[idle hazel]

As far as Bleeding goes, yes, a single big hit will do more for you than a lot of smaller ones, since you can't really stack Bleeds.

[serene heath]

Would that mean that if you were to use something like fragmentation rounds to poison that would be a really REALLY bad idea?

[slate horizon]

I know poe 1 and 2 are very different, but how come soulren is good but spark wouldn't work for DOT

[idle hazel]

At least in 0.2, Fragmentation Rounds accumulate all damage from the same shot into one Hit, so hypothetically it would be fine. However, 0.3 might be changing that behaviour, given a combo they described with High Velocity Rounds, so if it doesn't do that in 0.3 anymore, then yes, not ideal.

[idle hazel]

Soulrend in PoE1 does built-in Chaos DoT, it's not really a comparable skill imo.

[slate horizon]

I guess but the isn't it kind of the same idea have as many proj as possible but have the dot last as little as possible or is the scaling of soulren higher then spark

[idle hazel]

I can't say I'm familiar with how exactly Soulrend is scaled in PoE1, so I can't really answer that. However, in general, I was answering as to which skill would yield a higher Bleed - if you were getting enough damage out of Spark to clear packs or even bosses easily with Bleeds, it would be fine even if you could hypothetically get many more times that damage on Comet.

And in PoE1, most skills do more than enough damage to do that, so it's fine to do whatever there.

[slate horizon]

Yeah I kind of got off topic 🤏.

[jagged hound]

Afaik in 1 Soulrend is ran as hit or poison

Not as a supplement to EDC

Oh i kind of misunderstood but yeah people arent using it for non-stacking DoTs (whether it's own or ignite)

[solar atlas]

Hi Guys where can i find some good lootfilter?

[muted olive]

Is ti known if the new league will have challenges to earn MTX, like poe1?

[amber helm]

no challenges

[muted olive]

Good, so I don't have to feel like I'm missing out if I don't play. Ty

[errant narwhal]

(note, however, that there's free mtx for clearing act 1 this league)

[muted olive]

okay, act one it is

[keen pilot]

filterblade

[high jungle]

why cant i place down my guild stash chest?

[night river]

how do yall approach early maps? is there any currency to be made in the process or are you just tunnel visioning until you're at like 100 atlas points or something then you swap to farm? how do you ensure you can afford the respec? feels like one of the more tenuous times.

wondering if id be better off going after essences or something in addition to map drop nodes or something. i hear expedition is good for early league does that mean its worth while progressing atlas? havent really done much outside of running past mechanics for the most part since crucible

[keen pilot]

#1┃after-acts-help

[night river]

i thought thats where i was sorry

wait

thats poe 1

[keen pilot]

are you talking about poe2? then my bad

[night river]

i exaggerated on the number of atlas points i guess lol

[keen pilot]

expedition doesnt seem worth in current iteration

i just progress the doryani questline and find citadels/towers to do later

if anything good is on the way then clear

essences will get changed so they should be worth a bit but we dont know yet i guess

[worn jacinth]

hi, anyone know if you can convert damage twice? for example if a skill has 60% phys converted to fire, and you have 100% fire converted to chaos from blackflame - will it convert 60% to chaos or not work?

[junior hornet]

yeah skills will convert first and then items

[ornate locust]

is there a good guide on content difficulty for a new player to see which atlas tree they can spec into and reliably farm currency/div given their build's status?

[sly swallow]

setup the atlas to have fewer monsters and more shrines, have a mobile fast clearing build, collect nexuses, unique maps, overlapping towers and citadels

max out your atlas tree, make your build strong for bosses, do the citadels and early pinnacle bosses

[sly swallow]

it heavily depends on the build, I guess if you easily kill map bosses and you are not a complete glass cannon consider pinnacle bosses and citadels

[unique notch]

is multiplayer campaign level scaling the same as in poe1? in the context of someone ahead going back and helping a friend in zones

[junior hornet]

there's downscale toggle in party setting just make sure you have it on

[unique notch]

ok so same

thanks

[tight flame]

[glad wren]

I was ready about 2 months ago

[lime cargo]

Do I need to equip the axe, etc. to use this killing effect? Even when I activated it while playing, it wasn't working.

[left ivy]

i bought the herald of justice pack on poe1 website and the coins doesnt over to poe2 shop??? i have 160 on poe2 shop while i have 360 on poe1 shop

[waxen marlin]

How do I see the ascendancies?

[bright shuttle]

how come my results are so inconsistent?

[rigid crest]

so no way to start interludes after starting act 4

?

[jagged hound]

Is there a leech cap in 2?

[jagged hound]

Interludes are after act 4
