[brazen dawn]

Well it just doesn't seem like it's technically classified as a "curse" from the wording. And, some passives that apply specifically to curses don't apply to Decaying Hex. For example, I have infinite duration on my curses from the aforementioned Lich ascendency and yet I still have to recast them to reapply Decaying Hex because DH isn't infinite.

However, it does seem after testing that indeed it doesn't stack

So DH acts like a curse in the sense that you can't have multiple sources on one target, but it doesn't act like a curse in the sense that some curse-specific modifiers don't apply to it

PoE2 is confusing

[rotund trench]

seems logical

[jagged hound]

Decaying Hex doesnt stack because youre inflicting a curse (multiple stacks) and the Decay debuff (does not stack)

[rotund trench]

i mean your thinking, not the mechanics

[brazen dawn]

I want to live in the busted timeline where DH has infinite duration with the Lich ascendency and can also proc multiple times on the same monster

[rotund trench]

It's probably like other curse like stuff, if you put a new instance it just replaces the previous one.

or chooses the stronger of the two

[rotund trench]

i know know what build you are using, but putting temp chains on blasphemy aura is very nice

you can easily configure to temp chain the whole screen

very nice for old dump guys like me

[brazen dawn]

does increased aoe of curses apply to blasphemy? like these nodes?

[brazen dawn]

I'm completely winging my build lmao

Trying to make DH as powerful as possible

[rotund trench]

how much mana you got?

[brazen dawn]

724 but I'm still in act 3 :P

[rotund trench]

lol, nice

[rotund trench]

i meant int, not mana, lol. seems like decaying hex wouldn't scale too well

[brazen dawn]

I was wondering lol

151

I do plan on getting a lot more

[rotund trench]

good luck bro

[brazen dawn]

ty! I've been wanting to try a build like this for a while and so far it's been fun

[rotund trench]

awesome!

[sonic dragon]

can you proc multiple doom blasts? i.e. 3 curses with 3 doom blasts each proccing.

[rotund trench]

I don't think the same curse can be proking multiple times on an enemy.

[sonic dragon]

not the same curse, but 3 different curses, each with doom blast

the answer appears to be yes, though im not sure if it works on death too.

[rotund trench]

I'm not sure, is doom blast itself a curse?

[sonic dragon]

its a support gem for curses, procs mana scaling chaos explosion on when the curse expires (including target death)

[rotund trench]

If it doesn't count as a curse it might work, might be best to contrive some test

[sonic dragon]

i tested off of reflecting the curse onto myself, confirmed that it does track each curse's doom blast

im not sure if it allows for the simultaneous pop on mob death though

[rotund trench]

beyond me

[sonic dragon]

its a pretty obscure question lol

[ashen lintel]

Do charms stack if I have three of the same ones?

[rotund trench]

I don't think so

If you put all the same you can see which ones proc

should be just 1

[ashen lintel]

What if I use a normal one and a unique one? Would it stack then since they're different??

[rotund trench]

I doubt it, but you can test it if you have them.

For example, if you have 2 golden charms, I think only one activates if you kill a rare.

But the other should work while the used one gains charges.

found this on the ground; i'll take it

[void pewter]

what kinda runes can go in sceptres

what one of these three does it count as

[rotund trench]

some are all equipment, seems like sceptre specific is talisman

[void pewter]

so if i tossed this on a sceptre what one would i get

[rotund trench]

I don't know about sceptres, but I think that wouldn't work

[void pewter]

i think i can only use these kinds

[rotund trench]

and there are several talisman that go to sceptres

probably cheap

[sweet wyvern]

wiki is saying this: "Socketable items typically grant offensive modifiers to martial weapons, caster-related modifiers to wands and staves, minion-related modifiers to sceptres, and defensive modifiers to armour."

[rotund trench]

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

[rotund trench]

This is the second time I've had this happen; this monkey pack keeps respawning over and over forever. Before it wasn't monkeys, can't remember what it was, but it was spawning from a rare crab.

[craggy adder]

anybody know why this bow drops as white? im using the default filter for strict

[rotund trench]

I don't know but you may be able to check the more expensive offers for it to see what rolls are selling.

finally:

[void pewter]

iv not got one yet

[rotund trench]

they are rare unless you are super juicing

I haven't stuck around to do tower stuff, i just keep exploring outward; seems more fun

Can always come back later if I want.

wha

[sweet wyvern]

lol

custom status

[rotund trench]

nice

[neon rampart]

Guys I've found a tower right next to a nexus, what tablets should I use? Also does irradiation stack? Had another tower nearby where i used it and beach

[rotund trench]

number of maps should stack, but you don't get +2

[neon rampart]

So what happens if there are simply not enough towers in range?

[rotund trench]

i guess they are wasted

[neon rampart]

Ah

[rotund trench]

but that may be unlikely

there are quite a lot of maps in tower range

you can always count them if you are crazy

[feral cedar]

anyone know of a good poe2 filter or where i can get one

[rotund trench]

https://www.pathofexile.com/item-filter/ladder/follower/type/PoE2

pick semistrict or strict, e.g., and it will show up in your in-game choices

[feral cedar]

thankyou

[rotund trench]

It seems like contagion spreads better if you run into the mobs as it's spreading. Has anyone noticed this?

I guess it could agro monsters that are further to move into range, but it seems more than that.

[dusky star]

I think it's mostly just the fact that you are running into mobs and they're pulling together trying to attack you, at least when I played ed/c

also contagion quality is so good, I ignored it for far too long

[rotund trench]

Is there any presence effect?

[rotund trench]

yeah, i got that early

super helpful

I think I may become a crafter, so I just do maps to have enough gold and chaos to craft, lol. sounds nice

[rotund trench]

i'm not sure what happened, new gloves got t1 mana per enemy killed and it's crazy; i can't run out of mana

[stable quartz]

Does anyone know if the "against Frozen Enemies" nodes work with Snipe since it consumes the freeze?

[rotund trench]

consume removes debuff; https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Effect_consumption

[sweet wyvern]

but does 'against frozen enemy' take effect before the consumption (i think it does?)

[rotund trench]

I assume snipe is strong anyway, so if frozen already should be gg

but yeah, good point about the ordering

[stable quartz]

If we had a training dummy to check numbers, this would be so easy to figure out (GGG please!)

[rotund trench]

For real, don't understand why we don't have that

I mean, they are obviously trying to make the game as complicated as possible, so why make it easier?

[sweet wyvern]

it's less complicated than 1 i'd say. at least, a lot easier to pick up and learn

[rotund trench]

yeah, I was sort of referring to 1 also

that's why i like 2, it's not so nutso

2=masters 1=phd

[rotund trench]

I really wish you could see the mods on the items you sell. It would help inform you about what is valuable.

[hollow schooner]

I'm curious if anyone knows whether adding Culling Strike to the Unearth skill will give the resulting constructs culling strike as well? It does seem like they inherit at least some of the support abilities... And is there a rule that's applicable that'd help keep me from having to ask similar questions later?

[rotund trench]

good question, test it

get a rare with some dead bodies around and see if they delete it

[hollow schooner]

Will do

[hollow schooner]

It does. Just did it on two.

[rotund trench]

nice

[void pewter]

is there like a chart for what ones of these are good or bad

[vernal wadi]

Is there a secret something in this corner of this map? This is the Sinking Spire tablet tower map. One of the corner has a checkpoint but it's usually checkpoints are located at the 'before the stairs' (see overlay map) or at the end.

[torpid wave]

quick question, how profitable are trials of sekhmas nowadays?

[rotund trench]

i've heard it's pretty good

[sweet wyvern]

level 80+ baryas are really cheap. only investment is relics, but once you have those

you can finish a run in 30-20 minutes

20 on the really fast end

[rotund trench]

have this in my tabs, haven't watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2le71iFAcI8

[wanton solar]

Yes in mobalytics someone posted a guide with a spreadsheet in there

@torpid wave very good. Just timeless jewels gonna need some investment at times and regular jewels are pretty saturated now. But timeless runs and spectrum make it very worth it. Just a heads up can be a while for spectrum and just run relic quantity with the the timeless relic

[torpid wave]

Timeless huh? Thou does any build still use timeless?

I am not sure about other class since I haven’t kept up with the meta

But I think most of the top end blood mage build just use spectrums

[rotund trench]

sounds advanced; i don't even know what those things are

but basically, farm spectrums?

[torpid wave]

Well, more like farm trial of sekhmas

They drop spectrums

[sweet wyvern]

spectrums and relics

[torpid wave]

In around 3.33% chance I think

Personal I find selling relic a bit tedious last season, but I guess it’s gonna be a lot better since offline market is here

[sweet wyvern]

it's really easy to sell

[torpid wave]

Gotta be online to sell those last season, but probably very ez this season now

What are some good stats to aim for?

Relic drop and movement speed?

[sweet wyvern]

i run relic drop (at least 77%) and merchant additional choice

[austere dragon]

Can someone help me please?

[sweet wyvern]

with?

[austere dragon]

My build is not working

i spend 100 divines and i cant finish single boss 🙁 im stuck for entire week

i want to vendor all my items and uninstall i dont know what to do

[rotund trench]

sounds like you might be forgetting to stop and smell the roses.

[austere dragon]

...

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME??????????

[rotund trench]

if you have 100 divines, it's hard to estimate what kind of help you need

[austere dragon]

i dont talk with you toxic

[sweet wyvern]

[craggy wagon]

this is the second time i completed the same tower but it didnt allowed me to place tablet and just act like it was already using tablet

what to do ?

[rotund trench]

what does it say when you click on it?

[bleak solstice]

How do I get Prolonged Duration 3?

[rotund trench]

right click a support gem and search for it to see what leve it is

[bleak solstice]

It's not there but it's in the POE2 Database

[rotund trench]

i think it's just 2

[bleak solstice]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Prolonged_Duration_III

Shows up here

[sweet wyvern]

some items might be in the game files, but be inaccessible in game

[bleak solstice]

All right, then I have to call out Woolie for putting that gem in his build 🙁

[rotund trench]

i'd switch builds, asap 😀

[bleak solstice]

People hate Woolie? I just took the most popular Merc build on Mobalytics

[rotund trench]

No, I don't hate them. I don't know who that is.

I was just joking

[bleak solstice]

Popular POE Streamer

I have no free will so I just follow the stream

[rotund trench]

lol

[bleak solstice]

Not the stream as in online gameplay videos

[rotund trench]

we be robots

[bleak solstice]

But the stream as in popularity

I'm also old and with a job and a wife and kids so I kind of don't have the time I used to have to research a lot.

[gaunt creek]

nothing wrong with following build guides , I have 5000h in poe1 and I've been using a build guide 😄 , for me build guides are like cooking recipes

[rotund trench]

I'm old too, and dumb, and I think build guides are awesome.

[gaunt creek]

I've been playing a lot of ED contagion this league in sc and hcssf , I've followed some build guides and checked poeninja2 and now I can just put points in the tree without checking the guide

[rotund trench]

ed/c suites my slow ass play style

but when you get enough mobs, ... deleted.

[gaunt creek]

yeah I've started in sc trade and got to lvl 88 on my ed/c lvl 32 ED and then everything was melting and I wanted to fight bosses for longer so I've started a new character in hcssf , the progression was better

[rotund trench]

i'm not sure why, but I was having a minor problem with mana, but now all of a sudden my mana regen is crazy good, can't even touch it. all i did is change gloves, which doesn't have mana regen, just good mana per enemy killed.

[craggy wagon]

99% map affected by tablet an no slot

[rotund trench]

how many mods did your waystone have when you did it?

sounds like 6

so there aren't any slots? can you post it?

[craggy wagon]

yeah i clear it twice with 6 mod t15 map

no single tablet slot. it is the same tower. ill check if tomorrow the same tower are reset and i can run it again

[rotund trench]

I'd just move one, sounds bugged

the goal is to explore further than any man has gone before

[gaunt creek]

looking forward to the new patch this week , I might do some maps on my hcssf character , I'm been playing Hades 2 and it's super fun

[remote pelican]

when tower changes? is that today?

[gaunt creek]

probably Wednesday or Thursday

[rotund trench]

i just do the next map, fuck the rewards.

i accidentally did a tier 1 map and got way more drops than i get in a t15.

[remote pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/glorp-glorpshit-mad-gif-12826934952903770254

[rotund trench]

what is glorpshit

[remote pelican]

i thought it was today D:

[gaunt creek]

first time seeing that 🤣 , I feel so old

[mint frigate]

how many time for take back an item from the shop? i did a mistake and i listed my helmet!!!

[remote pelican]

what uh.. what type of defense and what affixs did it have

[dull plank]

Also how much did you list it for. Asking for a friend

[remote pelican]

[dull plank]

But iirc it’s a 10min hold

[mint frigate]

i bought it for 20 divines

i placed it at 50 exalted

[remote pelican]

50 exalts interesting, what type of helmet was it

[mint frigate]

full ES

[rotund trench]

did it sell?

or was it garbage?

[austere dragon]

can someone help me with build?

[rotund trench]

bro

[terse spruce]

Whats the reasoning people were saying alch orbs were gonna go up in value after the patch??

[rotund trench]

i think you can alc magic

[rose dragon]

How much do gold maps sell for?

(How much gold to vendors)

[rotund trench]

you can put one in and see

[rose dragon]

LOL got it

[vivid tartan]

Can anybody from GGG confirm if current map atlas wiill stay untouched after patch ? Since stacking towers doesnt make any sense now, that was the reason why patch is happening, are you going to keep all those stacked maps now ? that would be overkill with adding addtional tablets on top.

[rotund trench]

from what I understnad whey will stack

but who knows

and there is noone from ggg here, or at least not officially

[vivid tartan]

if they stack, expect 1 div to be 1k ex in a 2 days max

there is no point to play the game as literally nothing is having the value

even now people hide 1ex on the ground because its less valuable then 4-5 days ago...

[golden apex]

so "magic" arrow pointing to this arrow thing but i cant do anything with it cos ive already done it, what am i supposed to look for?

ah wrong chat sorry

[hot leaf]

Am I imagining it or is Warrior with 20% movement speed boots significantly slower than ranger with 20% movement speed boots? I feel like I am walking through sludge 😮

[terse spruce]

Certain kinds of armor slow you down. Could be that.

[hot leaf]

Like a hidden stat or would it say?

[terse spruce]

Yeah its hidden. I think u can see it on poe2db though

[hot leaf]

Do you know a piece of armor that does this so I can see?

[vivid tartan]

chest

[terse spruce]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Body_Armours_str#BodyArmourBaseItem
Any of these.

[hot leaf]

ahhh there it is

so not only is armor the worst defense, but it also makes you slower 😮 that's unfortunate

But thank you for the info!

[vestal fog]

changes are not live yet for endgame right

[gaunt creek]

my guess is Wednesday , Thursday

[tender night]

does anyone know if rakiatas flow works on expedition monsters which have the immune to x Element modifier, since I seem to be doing less damage to them even though I should do more due to inverting the immunity to a minus res?

[dusky star]

I imagine immune is just straight up immune, not some kind of 100% resistance which you can invert

[tender night]

it does show up as resistance though so it should be able to get inverted

also immune does not make them take no damage at all from the element type it just reduces your damage

[quick breach]

Is there a stash tab for abyssal league currency or no? I thought I saw one on a Twitch stream but I can't seem to find it in the shop.

[silk rapids]

Immune means they don't take damage. Even if they have -200% resist

[tender night]

there is none

[quick breach]

damn. ok ty

[tender night]

like i said they do take damage though just reduced

[silk rapids]

Have you tested it?

[tender night]

yes

[silk rapids]

Lol

Thats weird

[tender night]

i just did it

i did the same damage with rakiata and without

[silk rapids]

Probably you have your dmg split so u killed them with some other dmg they werent immune to

[tender night]

imma try and get an expedition with all res to test it more

[silk rapids]

If you use attacks you still deal some % phys that doesn't get converted

[tender night]

the one i tested it on only blocked my lightning/fire not the phys or chaos

[silk rapids]

Yeah so you killed it with cold/phys/chaos then

You must have some source of that dmg somewhere

You can go to your gems and click the little arrow that shows u all the stats on the specific skill

[tender night]

ill try it now i have one which blocks out all my damage so i can test it

it actually does negate your entire damage if you make them completely immune but it is a weird design choice to have it show as resistance then

[dusky star]

I thought it was obvious that you likely dealt other dmg which is what killed the mobs, not that they weren't immune, but hey

[tender night]

I mean my main question was why the immunity does not get inverted as it is shown as resistance so not sure if it is just a bad choice to show it to the player as resistance sign or if it is bugged

[gaunt creek]

only expedition has immunities , other than that there are no immunities

monsters have resistances so that gets inverted

[tender night]

while I realize that, it still looks like a bug if they show the immunites as normal resistances this way as it implies that it should be able to get inverted

[dapper hatch]

Will we be able to infinitely run the same map after tower update if we use a visions of paradise and just keep irradiating the map?

[simple trench]

what are good stats to value on shields

[dawn hatch]

Does anyone know if a t15 map have a better chance of dropping linage supports like rakiata compared to a t6?

[cursive kelp]

how do i get to this map?

unique one in the center

[waxen marlin]

Any good/bad nodes on this tree that I should/shouldn't get?

Some of the nodes are pretty hard to understand or gauge.
Like 30% chance of an additional reward.
If I get a stage 5 reward, does that mean I now get on average a stage 5.3 reward? That'd be kinda pointless. But it'f it's 5 * 1.3, then that's decent.

[jagged hound]

Are all of the corrupted essences the same chance?

[winged jay]

good day!

does it matter which waystone i put into a zen map? does it affects the drops at all or do i just throw a random T1 in there

[sly swallow]

just get the left side of this

[slate yarrow]

how long is the current league expected to go?

[waxen marlin]

4 months if they stick to schedule? (3 more)

[sly swallow]

december

[slate yarrow]

tyvm, lots of time then to hit my goal of getting the big boss

[plush plume]

Hi guys, is there a way I can search item rarity on my stash? like if I want to search for +60% item rarity

[waxen marlin]

Any reason not to get the "fog dissipates 50% faster" and just nullify that by using instilled maps?

[quick breach]

maybe try exile exchange 2 overlay?

[sly swallow]

the reason is that most maps probably won't have delirium mirror in them so it will be useless

[waxen marlin]

But even maps with constant delirium have the reward progress counter.

[jagged hound]

Does corrupting a flask do anything

Or can you even

[potent notch]

Should I get a siege crossbow or another better cannonade crossbow since I'm seeing other witchhunters using siege while I'm also starting tier 12 maps

[jagged hound]

Is there a way to get rage on Lightning Spear?

[icy steppe]

how do i increase item quantity? 🤔

[jagged hound]

Tablets mainly

[dapper hatch]

Death articulated gloves. Blood of the warrior flask with blood of rage notable.

[jagged hound]

Blood of Rage?

I just tried Blood of The Warrior but it felt awful off the bat

[dapper hatch]

Yeah it gives 8 rage when you use a life flask

[jagged hound]

Oh wow yeah thatd help it a ton

[dapper hatch]

Yeah. Flask is mainly for no inherit loss of rage

While blood of rage gives you the rage

[torpid wave]

for desperate alliance, do you guys just do it for against darkness jewels? or sells it for guaranteed profit?

[potent notch]

Haven't gotten an answer yet

[dapper hatch]

It’s profit either way. Bad jewels get bought for reforge

[torpid wave]

fair, but way less profit

[dapper hatch]

True

[torpid wave]

I think rn desperate alliance is around 2.5-3d atm?

[dapper hatch]

Non corrupt against the darkness are at 2d

[potent notch]

Do I need to have accuracy on my crossbows now since I probably have enough from my gears?

[dapper hatch]

So actually not much profit loss

[torpid wave]

and my last run the against darkness jewels is like half d

[torpid wave]

I guess

[lethal gull]

what is the optimal rarity drop rate to aim for?

[torpid wave]

150

[potent notch]

Should I get a siege crossbow or another better cannonade crossbow since I'm seeing other witchhunters using siege while I'm also starting tier 12 maps

Sorry for the repost, just don't want to waste orbs of something that I think is useless

[dapper hatch]

Sorry idk. I’m not playing crossbow

Maybe try witch hunter build channel?

[potent notch]

Have but no response yet 🙁

[icy steppe]

I am level 91 and find it very hard to make some profit, any tips?

[ionic drift]

which one of these is better? im using a galvanic shards build

[jagged hound]

What maps you running?

Like are you able to run T15 six mods yet

[rich thicket]

can i get a 3rd or even a 4th socket ? if so how ?

[jagged hound]

You can get a 3rd with a lucky corrupt

4 is only possible with an Exceptional Base with 3 sockets (drop only, so you have to start crafting with it) and then corrupting it for a fourth

Corrupt has a 25% chance to brick your item, or 33% with Omen of Corruption (which removes the Does Nothing option)

[icy steppe]

im trying tu run maps where item rarity is 100+

[rich thicket]

wdym by brick , it removes 1 socket ?

[jagged hound]

Itll reroll a random amount of the prefixes/suffixes

Non-bricks are Do Nothing, Enchantment, or Third Socket

Reroll Affixes could turn your 170 life into thorns damage for instance

[rich thicket]

hmm

so its better not to corrupt xD

[jagged hound]

Only do it if you have a replacement lined up immediately

[rich thicket]

i see

ok thx

[icy steppe]

is ther any point completing extra content in this case if map is not juiced?

[jagged hound]

Depends on how much you value your time

[icy steppe]

I am a working adult with kids 😆

and trying to somehow make some profit 🙁
but fail hard
running t15 maps - can run 6 mods

[jagged hound]

Personally most of my money is coming from boss maps with the +1 essence and chance to double corrupt nodes

That and the occasional big drop from Abyss

[icy steppe]

what do you mean +1 essence?

[jagged hound]

There's a node that adds an essence to every map with a boss

It aint much but its honest work

[craggy sinew]

Does leveling up my tame beast/summon companion gem cause it to have more health or more reservation or anything? The only thing I can see that will change is the dex requirement

[shut slate]

what's the default life generation, and how do I figure out which skill/item somehow turned my level 77 witch into 0 life generation o_O

[dusky star]

is it a lich and you took the life can't change while you have ES ascendancy node?

[shut slate]

infernalist, have the doggo, bringer of flame and the spirit reservation one

Base Regeneration
Both Life and Energy Shield do not have any base Regeneration by default.

I literally have 0 skills with life regen lol

nor items

that must be it. And I never noticed because I took mind over matter

[slow mango]

Hello, What are you supposed to do with Kulemak's Invitation?

Assume go to the well of souls but should I bring anything with me to prep?

Hi! I've got some mana problems, when i fight the unique boss from the breach realmgate, i run out of mana super quick, so i can put him midlife but then, i cant continue the fight

I saw a fubgun guide where he talks about free deli maps, are there any free ways to get deli maps? 🤔

[quasi shell]

there is an atlas node where it makes some % of your maps drop delerious

[formal delta]

Anyone got any clue why I'm struggling so bad on t7 maps? I'm lvl 76 edc and I'm starting to plateau at like t7 maps with 40% delirium. I can clear them but I basically have to run away from enemies constantly and it takes like 3x longer than I think it should https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Panda_-3518/character/dapkfi

[cursive kelp]

contagion essence drain is really consistent and good for crowd clear n once you get a lot more dmg can even be good for clearing rares but its main drawback is that it ramps up when it spreads but starts low

you can try dark effigy with overabundance n poison n a bunch of other chaos DOTS for rares n uniques

[latent wagon]

Is sunder bugged with armour break?

it doesn't say anything about not being able to break armour

and i can put the armour break support gem on it

[cursive kelp]

you can get armour break from other sources like 'x% physical damage as armour break' or '50% armour break on stun' typoe stuff so you can slap that gem on a lot of things

oh, you mean like, its not breaking armour at all?

[latent wagon]

yes

it couldn't break armour in it's last version

but that line was removed

[cursive kelp]

maybe this?

idek

[latent wagon]

i check something

[pliant crypt]

when starting new league, what build do u think fastest at killing jamanra in final act 2?

[cursive kelp]

for some reason warrior gets to act 2 fastest in the previous races but this league it might just be contagion essence drain tbh

[latent wagon]

supposedly it's connected to payoff

but man, why can't we disable the payoff and let it be used as a main skill?

[pliant crypt]

i was trying to use only permafrost+fragmentation xbow on jamanra..even tho hes weak to cold dmg..it took too long to kill him

[latent wagon]

that setup is not good for anything pretty much

diminishing returns for repeated freeze hinders this too much

[pliant crypt]

yeah..the spam explosion stuff on screen..such as merc gas+xplosive grenade OR warrior forge hammer+spam slam skill..even tho they are fire dmg..that kill jamanra fast

[sweet wyvern]

enemies don't have so much resistance to the point that you have to use a different damage type

[potent notch]

Could I stop if I wanted to?

[pliant crypt]

when its best to use elemental penetrate support gem?

[sweet wyvern]

you can just consider that as more damage. the game isn't made so you have to change your damage type or find ways to deal with enemies with some resistance

ele pen is more beneficial the more res an enemy has tho

[jagged hound]

Yes but you wont get delirium skill points unless you do all 15

That doesnt look like the kind of wave to duck out of though anyway

[potent notch]

Died a lot in those parts tho?

[languid pewter]

when u primarily deal 1 type of elemental damage and don't have rakiata's yet

[potent notch]

Can I instil my current amulet?

[jagged hound]

As long as its not corrupted and youre fine with the cost

[potent notch]

What's the best instil to put it on?

[vapid shoal]

Why can't I post screenshot

[feral sentinel]

too new maybe? discord security thing?

[sweet wyvern]

you need the 'member' role which you get after couple days i think? or ask a mod. it's to prevent spam

[jagged hound]

Build dependent

[vapid shoal]

Why are the only jewel with both movement speed and mana on kill only on the new unique abyss jewel? Both roll can't happen on the same rare?

Got a similar problem when I look increased damage with bow and mana on kill

But this time there is just nothing

[jagged hound]

Mana on kill isnt a mod on normal jewels

Or at least not on emeralds where movement speed is

Yeah okay Mana on Kill only appears on Sapphires, Movement Speed only appears on Emeralds

Hearts of the Well are diamonds so they roll from all 3 of Ruby/Emerald/Sapphire pools

[jagged hound]

Can this duplicate essence monsters?

[timber wren]

Question - In maps, do you lose XP on each death, or only when you actually fail a map? (haven't played since 0.1 lol)

[quasi shell]

you lose exp on each death

[timber wren]

Gotcha, thanks

[hollow charm]

Is there a market for leeching on runic, sim, ritual boss runs? Want to fill Atlas tree

[twilit pelican]

“I’m having trouble setting concrete gear goals in PoE 2 (and ARPGs in general). I know the basics like ‘cap resists and get life,’ but after that I always feel lost. I have a hard time staying motivated without something clear to work toward, but I never really know what that should be — like what stats or upgrades should be my next priority. How do you all decide on your gear goals and progression path?”

[quasi shell]

can you kill all the endgame bosses?

thats a good doal

[arctic crag]

The next goal would be "I need to find out how to scale damage from gear, passives, jewels etc.". That is usually somewhat infinite goal.

Killing pinnacle bosses as they said is a good target to aim for. If you want to be the highest DPS for that skill in poe.ninja then it is a forever goal

[twilit pelican]

That makes sense, but I get overwhelmed because ‘scale damage’ feels too vague. Could you help me break it down into specifics? For example, if I’m playing lightning arrow, what should I look for first on gear vs what I should get later? Or how do you personally decide which damage stats matter most for your build?

[arctic crag]

That would be for you find out, unfortunately I am not well versed with most builds and am not playing LA. For LA you would want flat attack damage since I think LA and LR scale with that and besides that in 0.3 the flavor seems to be the numerous ways we have to "gain damage as extra"

Maybe fubgun or someone's guides should explain what impacts scaling the most.

[quasi shell]

but usually scaling damage has a purpose, like if you cant kill a pinnable boss

but if you are playing LA, then you should scale skill level and flat phys first

[twilit pelican]

Thanks

[arctic crag]

Does Daze just build light stun? Will I be technically immune to Daze if I have allocated Unwavering Stance?

[grand crag]

light stun doesnt have a buildup. if stun buildup is mentioned it always refers to heavy stun

[signal hornet]

What to do when no corrupted nodes on your map, just blindly go in one direction and hope you get lucky?

[abstract cloak]

anyone elses game randomy crashing steam to full closure today? as soon as i get in the game my stream crashes which also closes the game, not sure whats up

[arctic crag]

So any hit that does damage over stun threshold just light stuns and does not contribute to heavy stun threshold? (Assuming that the hit isn't blocked) And same for players and monsters?

[sweet wyvern]

monster and player heavy stun is handled differently

heavy stun is (almost) always built up on monsters (shown below health bar)

on players, it's only built up in specific circumstances

like blocking or riding a rhoa

[marble fjord]

Can someone please show me where i can find the cheapest fastest companion ?

[charred fog]

why cant i slot any support gem on my sigil of power?

[sweet wyvern]

what error shows up?

[jaunty crystal]

if skill can be casted/activated then try reequipping it, maybe relog

[winter crane]

can anyone tell me why i'm dying instantly against these abyssal rares?

[charred fog]

it works when i put it on slot 1

[junior hornet]

your pc is delirious 👀

[winter crane]

idk what these mean, but they popped up right before i died

[jagged hound]

Purple is wither

Yellow is Stone Charm

<@&174997701513969665>

Green is some kind of chaos DoT, i think its poison but it might be caustic ground or something

So probably get some chaos res if you want to avoid it happening again

[junior hornet]

isn't he ci

[jaunty crystal]

check also that you have enough stats to equip more supports, and there is "show recommended gems" checkmark left bottom corner, untick it and check if anything at all can be applied

[winter crane]

Yes i am CI

[arctic crag]

I think I last looked up and it should be here in this channel, a lot of abyssal mods do phys dot

[winter crane]

Also, is there a channel here where i can beg for currency

[charred fog]

i got it working now

[jagged hound]

Against rule 5 so no

[arctic crag]

Or maybe not rare mods just the base monster type itself

[winter crane]

Ahhh, actually Rule 6

sry

[placid horizon]

People want free things in a grinding game... I will never understand that

[jagged hound]

How much damage does the funny ape slam do

I am appalled that it can still one shot me and need to fix it

[grand crag]

light stun and heavy stun function completely differently and don't interact with each other.

Light stun is based on chance and any hit has a chance to light stun. the chance is higher the more damage the hit deals and the stun threshold is the amount of damage a hit needs to deal for the chance to be 100%. Any chance over 100% is just discarded.

Heavy stun is based on a meter. All damage you deal to monsters build that meter, but damage monsters deal to you only build that meter while you are active blocking (holding down a block skill). Heavy stun threshold is how much damage it takes to fill that meter, and you are heavy stunned when that meter fills.

[rigid orbit]

Anyone trying to run some games

[grand crag]

Daze increases your stun buildup which is how fast your stun meter builds which is a mechanic of heavy stun, not light stun. Therefore, Unwavering Stance does not interact with Daze at all.

[placid horizon]

#2┃looking-for-group

[arctic crag]

Thank you! So heavy stun as a mechanic is irrelevant if you are not active blocking? I started wondering about this after trying to socket overextend support but I am now a bit confused. Daze lasts for 8 seconds, and a Dazed enemy will take 50% more Stun Buildup. There are also a number of Skills, Effects, and other mechanics which interact with Daze for various benefits.. So what is the drawback of this even? I cannot have stun buildup as a character that doesn't have a shield and it is basically free?

[sweet wyvern]

getting hit while blocking, riding rhoa, or sprinting

[undone kettle]

is there a way to show on the hud which weapon set I'm currently on? I'm on PC on controller

[marble fjord]

does this mean i have 100% crit chance if i have 4 power charge?

[sweet wyvern]

no. it means you'll have double

100% more = 2x

actually

you only get 25% more max. it's 25% more if you have a power charge. not 25% more per power charge

[wide loom]

Anyone know if the lightning rod snapshot the weapon when you used it?
Or it dps dynamic updates when you chain to it?

Asking if it snapshot the weapon set skill tree too
Or it's also dynamic update

after i cleared all 4 trials for all 8 ascendancy points, can i still reset my acendancy in lower trials or do i ahve to do the 4th everytime?

[fallen shoal]

I saw that you can buy Djinn Barya on trade with the floors already completed. Is there a way on the site to see how many floors have already been completed? How do you check that?

[sweet wyvern]

the name of the barya 'trial of time/strength/cunning/ whatever the other one is

[fallen shoal]

so you search for "trial of time" on the engine?

[sweet wyvern]

yeah

[fallen shoal]

I can't see anything 😄 i tried time, streanght and cunning, if you look for "djinn barya" there are a lots of entries

[sweet wyvern]

hm. you're able to search for them in game

oh

i think it's "Test of x"

[fallen shoal]

with the overlay?

[sweet wyvern]

no. with the in game trade browser

can search on website too

[fallen shoal]

found it, it's "test of"

test of cunning should be the last floor of the 3 trial sekhmas?

[civic nacelle]

i haven't paid much attn to rolling my maps - why are you only supposed to desecrate maps with an open prefix?

and how do you tell quickly if there's an open prefix or suffix on 5mod maps?

[sweet wyvern]

hold alt

[civic nacelle]

oh i didn't even see the pre/suff text it was so light lol

what's the reason for only desecrating pre?

do the suffix desecrates kinda just suck

and is there a quicklist for good prefix desecrates

[pliant crypt]

does projectile speed also affect how fast grenade land?

[wanton solar]

Make sure to check your lootfilter. There's only certain blues that are worth crafting on. Unless you are looking for something specific for you or a build that sells

[shut slate]

I pick up everything now

[unborn shore]

anyone know how poe2 factors in DPS on skills, like a warrior boneshatter, does it take the dmg from the physical numbers only or does it also factor in weapon speed

[gaunt creek]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/damage-scaling

[shell coral]

how do you pc when you see things like this

[remote pelican]

price it in the middle, and by popular pricing. There are always these idiot botters that think every item is a 200 div masterpeice

they are just hoping lazy RMT'ers will just buy the expensive one without using critical thinking

important thing to remember is there often is a difference between what an item is worth, and what people will actually buy it for- i have wands technically worth 40-50 divs, but your average john player just cant spend that kind of dosh lol

so it sits in my store for 8 days

[dusky star]

it's a 1ex unique with a specific corrupt, it's not very good

[shell coral]

but the corruption go along very well with the unique mod

[dusky star]

on a unique that is not used

[naive jungle]

I got a stat that said 15% of armor also applies to elemental damage, it's right in front of me but I don't understand 🤷🏻‍♂️

[dusky star]

I mean list it for whatever, but the fact that the 5ex listing hasn't sold should tell you what it's worth (not much)

[shell coral]

yea i thought about that too

disenchant it is

[remote pelican]

it uses the same calculations for damage mitigation that armor does, and where armor typically only applies to physical damage, it also applies the calcuation for elemental

but i dont have a PHD in mathamatics to be able to break down the actual calculation it uses

[naive jungle]

@remote pelican okay I think that makes sense ty

[remote pelican]

yw

[dusky star]

iirc it's applied before resistances, so it's not great vs big ele hits

but still a cute stat

[naive jungle]

Cute as in worth it?

[frail forge]

When is it worth corrupting essences?

In last delirium I cleared like 80% of the map while in the fog and got 6 splinter

[gaunt creek]

lvl 82 map you need a t16 map, a corrupted node that has +1 monster level,
then you Irradiate it with a tower

the new endgame patch that changes how maps work, should be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow

[hollow charm]

Thank you! Am I crazy or doesn't this meet all the requirements above?

[gaunt creek]

hmm T16 is area 80 and you have +1 to monster lvl area , it should be 81 , maybe inside the map it is

[rose dragon]

Hey guys how do I search for items with specific runes socketed in ?
This doesnt seem to work ? Does it ?

?

you've put nearly every other version of attack speed except the rune one

I never use the ingame market, but I imagine the tilde wildcarch search still works (so you can search like this)

[spring nymph]

For some reason I didnt see it a single time everytime i tried well ty

Hmm it's not working ?

[dusky star]

well it can't be local when it's in the belt

so that may not be possible to filter for

Ok omen of light dropped how much is it worth

[spring nymph]

@dusky star i'm currently selling all my items and wow everything seem to have dropped in price so much, is it because it's late in the league ?

[dusky star]

it also kinda depends on what the items are

poe economy is fickle

it's because the new marketplace is so easy to use and crafting is strong

Hollow palm items for monk

Basically all /2

I invested 100 divs and I have them all listed for like 40-50 divs xd

[dusky star]

the maps/connections can bug out, but don't you have a path at the bottom there?

[mint frigate]

yes i will try from there

but i tried 2 paths already

i hope it will work

[amber helm]

surely you can just check wiki for this

but no, it doesnt; in poe2, chaos damage just does double damage to es.

[waxen marlin]

Do support gems no longer increase mana costs?

some don't

you can see on the support gems the % increase to mana cost

[undone merlin]

the abyys monsters that teleport to you and have a acid pool under them are bullshit. not possible to avoid injury n death

if i was making this game id put some effort into making certain modifiers not spawn with others that make for bullshit encounters. not fun dying when its unavoidable. they cheating

is it worth to farm tier 3 breach realmgate if im not able to kill xesht

is the only way to increase the drop chance of breach splinter runs by having rarity drop on gear?

[ionic drift]

atlas tree has some nodes for that

[vale sun]

you mean those specifically for breach or the general one?

[ionic drift]

the breach specific one

i myself just ended up buying enough splinters to get 6/8 of my atlas tree points

farming for splinters was too mind numbing for me

[vale sun]

yeah i also just buy them

[twilit pelican]

I desperately need an upgrade to my bow, but I don't want to eat through all of my exalts since I still have 2 interludes til endgame I have 34 right now, what do you guys think is a good budget that still leaves me enough that I can reasonably buy the gear to get started in endgame

[stuck cobalt]

does kalandras touch work with ingenuity?

[brazen dawn]

I have a couple of questions that I'd appreciate some clarification for:

• First, does spell damage scale the damage from the DoT component of Essence Drain and Decaying Hex? It's my understanding that for some ailment types like ignite, spell damage does not scale their DoT output. But, since ED and DH aren't technically ailments but rather DoT components of spells, do spell damage modifiers effect it? In which case, could I pick up these Lich nodes to augment their damage?
• Second, does Burning Inscription work with Blackflame Covenant? Since the fire damage is coming from burning ground generated by a support gem applied to a curse, I don't know if it qualifies as the right type of fire damage for BC to work.

[dusky star]

shrug, I feel you can easily blow 15-20ex on a bow, you'll get more stuff in interludes and early gear for endgame (res rings/etc.) are not that expensive

[rotund trench]

In pob it does look like inc spell damage increases ED dot.

[icy steppe]

I think I dont get map juicing
I run maps with 160+ rarity and around 40% quant and i barely get exalts

[brazen dawn]

That's good to know. How about DH, are you able to see stats for that?

I would assume based on how it functions with ED that spell damage would increase DH

Also I really would appreciate if someone could answer my question about Burning Inscription and Blackflame Covenant because I'd love to take advantage of that. I've decided to go for EB and MoM which means my mana pool is giant and it should do a lot of damage if I can convert it to chaos.

[rotund trench]

It doesn't seem like it. I wasn't sure from the calcs, but I artificially added 20% increased spell damage and decay didn't increase.

[brazen dawn]

...chaos damage still scales it, right?

if that doesn't, something is horribly wrong

[rotund trench]

yes

[brazen dawn]

phew XD

well that is a shame though because that means that my half my ascendancy basically doesn't matter for the build I'm going for

iirc Unholy Might doesn't work on DOT

and then the survival nodes don't mean anything because I'm MoM

...but then none of the other Witch ascendancies are any better for my tomfoolery either

[amber helm]

yes

[brazen dawn]

Something else I realized is that because my curses have infinite duration, I can't use Hexblast on them. I might take that one off and then just use Temporal Chains & Despair instead of Despair, Temporal Chains, and Enfeeble

Speaking of... if I use Hexblast on something, does that detonation also proc Doom Blast?

[amber helm]

the ed question would be easily answered by reading essence drain:

Modifiers to Spell Damage apply to Debuff's Damage over Time

anything with that clause means inc and more modifiers will work

[brazen dawn]

I must've missed that, my bad

[brazen dawn]

what about the Burning Inscription & Blackflame Covenant interaction? I wasn't able to find any documentation about those two working together and since it's coming from burning ground generated by a support gem applied to a curse, I'm not sure if it would work or not

[amber helm]

tbh the "ignites as if" is quite confusing, im looking into it

[brazen dawn]

It's layers on layers of specific wording and I'm not very familiar with chaos damage, fire damage, and damage conversion XD

Part of me wonders if it would only work when applied to Elemental Weakness because none of the other curses are classified as "fire"

That would be really, really weird

[amber helm]

im going to give a very hesitant yes and advise you to test it ingame.

i dont think the curse itself matters

basically the burning inscription is the actual source of the damage and that has the fire tag

[brazen dawn]

hmm, alright I'll give it a try then

[amber helm]

"fake hit" ailments do a full hit damage calculation, they just don't actually deal the hit damage. anything that affects the hit damage will affect the ailment, including crits

[brazen dawn]

How would I know it's working? Does Blackflame change the vfx? That would be cool

[amber helm]

this comment from [viper](#2┃after-acts-help message) suggests that the full damage calc will be done, which would include conversion on the flat fire into chaos

[brazen dawn]

I've never actually used it before and I'm immediately using it for one of the most obscure and niche things in the entire game lol

[amber helm]

off the top of my head, maybe an expedition where the monsters are immune to fire

[winter crane]

General question about survivability with CI and capped res build... I'm entirely dependent on ES, and I have around 7900. Because I'm a warp Stormweaver, I occasionally warp into packs and will see my ES drop in a near instant (typically T15/T16/6mod maps), particularly abyss rares more than any other enemy type. I have a stun charm, and sometimes it loses one of 3 charges before I die. Is there a defense stat I'm overlooking or misunderstanding, or is that just typical for such high level mapping with that many mods? All I really think I can do is buy better armour to raise ES to around 10k+, but at the rate I get clapped when it happens, idk if ANY amount of ES is gonna save me if I don't figure out something else.

[brazen dawn]

oh that's a good idea actually

[brazen dawn]

I know this is a much simpler question but still, do these two synergize?

I know Doom Blast procs when an enemy dies, which is how I've been clearing packs

[bitter path]

Ran into a kerfuffle -- Cant reach this last rare - any ideas? --- I have combed every edge of the map

[jagged hound]

Use Blink or a travel skill to cross the gap in the top right

[bitter path]

Ooooo what an idea

[charred wharf]

I farm Sekhemas for money but i've never boosted anyone through it before. I have a friend who needs their 3rd ascendency. Any tips or info on how best to go about this?

[mint frigate]

wtf???

why can't access the map?

[iron pond]

why doesn't this work? Am I using the wrong one?

[dusky star]

if trying to find darkness enthroned, the atk spd on that isn't local

it may not be possible to search for

[iron pond]

talisman of sirrius is what im looking for

[dusky star]

well same thing, still not local

[jagged hound]

Is Lightning Rod useful for Lightning Spear?

Im trying to figure out how to get more single target

[iron pond]

that's the only rune there is

[dusky star]

yes, I know - not everything can be filtered for

you can still find the talismans normally of course

but it appears you cannot filter for items with it socketed

[iron pond]

oh

[dusky star]

likely an oversight on GGG's part

[brazen dawn]

It makes purple flame 🥹

[amber helm]

cool

[brazen dawn]

At this point I don't even care how much damage it adds, I'm keeping it for the vibes

[torpid wave]

Tbh, most current chaos fire ball build actually deals physical damage instead of chaos…..

[elfin jetty]

am I allowed to send streamable vid links? I want to show a clip of me dying to something without knowing how I died to it.

https://streamable.com/l5kf6t

its 45 seconds long sorry just skip to the boss fight

max elemental resistances 19k armor and a chaos charm. idk what type of damage I took.

3600 hp and I take 12% of damage from mana before life

[neon apex]

whats the name of this gauge in simu and is there a limit for it or data for loot per each lvl?

[elfin jetty]

those are liquid emotions

[neon apex]

so it has nothing to do with reward or wave intensity? i think i watched some youtube guide and the dude said the more this go up the more rewards

[elfin jetty]

yes the more it goes up the better the rewards. idk about the intensity.

[winter crane]

Anyone have any tips here?

[mellow stirrup]

Can't seem to access this tower. Is it bugged?

[rotund trench]

I mean more ES would help, but you should also pay attention to mods like elemental weakness, penetration etc. If you have no control over the warp, maybe you could use blink to dash away?

[rotund trench]

happens

[mellow stirrup]

rip

such good overlap as well

[jagged hound]

Will Blink take me off Rhoa?

[rotund trench]

try it

[elfin jetty]

anyone know how I died here? my stats below.

[muted olive]

hits can come from spells, like spark, right?

it is terrible. You pretty much need to drop the % life socketable, and I ran a lot, and never saw one. It is a huge waste of time, since it literally takes a long time to complete, when you could have been dropping some exalts in maps way faster.

[muted olive]

looks like the thing is doing its melee attacks into your dude like crazy, but you have so much garbage on the screen, you can't see anything. This game is awful with visual clarity.

[dense ermine]

new patch mentions the evasion formula was changed - what was it before?

[unkempt plume]

why did they remove blood queen from being spectre ?

[arctic crag]

check dreamcore early video from 0.1, deflection is new and has no cap up to 100%

actually here he has it on mobalytics https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/evasion. I am yet to read patch notes though.

[sweet wyvern]

does the player evasion change result in more or less evasion?

[dense ermine]

this is what i want to know

[arctic crag]

patch notes site is down for maintenance

Evasion felt good but ES felt so easy to stack, and there werent even enough jewel sockets to try to get a decent evasion rating when I trie dto witch to QOTF, I am hoping it isnt nerfed badly

[sweet wyvern]

evasion rating itself sounds like less, but I'm wondering if the chance to hit players will be more or less

What is accuracy rating numbers usually like? I can check Accurate rare monster mod. The answer will depend on that. If accuracy rating is going to be a comparable number to evasion rating, then it looks objectively worse.

Actually, opposite, since it is 1-coefficient

[rotund trench]

based on the equation it seems like there is no hit chance, lol. I probably got something wrong. I multipled new evasion by 7/25 to scale it.

[arctic crag]

So here you are taking 500 accuracy rating vs 500 evasion rating right?

[rotund trench]

500 accuracy vs evasion from 0-5000

[arctic crag]

The scale of these numbers matters, I think in poe2 500 is like 100 dex equivalent and evasion rating ranges are like 10k-20k

oh oops

What about the 1- for the previous formula?

[rotund trench]

that's purple

[arctic crag]

I am not color blind but I was up all night leveling a char and my eyes are shot

oh crap accuracy rating is a lot higher than I imagined, https://poe2db.tw/us/Abyss_Fish example monster

Like this level 82 ancient ezomyte has 4.2k accuracy rating, oof

[rotund trench]

If I put accuracy to 2k the new equation is still zero

[arctic crag]

It is weird that accuracy rating would be in denominator, considering the chance to evade is 1-coefficient

imagine accuracy rating is approaching infinity, then this coefficient would be really small but in a weird way, 1-coeff, means we will evade everything

😕

nvm it is chance to hit, nothing to see here

The previous formula is chance to evade, that is where they got me.

[sweet wyvern]

i went in game. assuming all the numbers are updated on the estimation on the character sheet, i have the same estimated chance to evade. altho they did say the estimation is now based on level 82 monsters instead of 84

so maybe a little less?

[undone merlin]

this new boss on every map is gonna stop me from making any progress. half of these bosses i can only beat with luck. quite perturbed by this change. if i wanna run map without boss it too fing bad

at least before i could run maps without bosses until i leveled up. probably gonna wind up quiting playing cuz of this

[twilit pelican]

I'm reading a guide that uses summon companion but I don't see that skill, is it just tame beast?

[sweet wyvern]

yes

[twilit pelican]

Okay thank you 😊

[undone merlin]

and all the maps seem to be tiny now so i have to fight a boss every ten minutes. no just chilling ang playing gotta be deadly serious

[rotund trench]

my bad, the equation goes from 0-1 not percent, here is update:

so it seems like evasion is heavily nerfed

However, at higher accuracy and lower evasion the new equation is better. The higher the accuracy the better the new equation is.

So it may be better for hard bosses. Not sure what real accuracies actually are.

In general, it seems to buff lower evasion values, but you can't get really high chance to evade.

[simple trench]

im confused, what did the patch change

the atlas still seems the same?

oh wait never mind sorry.

[mint frigate]

why can't i place lightning rod on enemies anymore? now it places at my feet

i don't think i changed anything

someone can help me? for use the skill i have to go inside the monster packs

[normal stag]

This is a bug right? this is a 4mod teir 3 map on a retry failed node.... There is like 7+ rares out of a single abyss hole....

[rose dragon]

how do we get the recombinatior in the hideout?

[dire panther]

whats a good way to make currency?

[rotund trench]

should be in there, if not check your edit items.

[agile beacon]

what are some budget farming methods that don't rely on the lucky drops of divs or just in general waiting for that really lucky jackpot drop?

[chilly meadow]

what's the different from lvl84 with lvl83 or lower lvl djinn barya guys? why it cost so much?

[agile beacon]

is... it the only one available?

[chilly meadow]

nope around 67 exist

[bitter moss]

sekhemas are great

rituals

[agile beacon]

hmm I was considering sekhemas but I suck at that

[bitter moss]

sekhemas have legit like 100 ex investment per league

[agile beacon]

rituals I'll take a look im guessing you are omen hunting?

[bitter moss]

and that just covers your relics

[bitter moss]

uh

[agile beacon]

what makes the profit at sekhemas? unidentified jewels?

[bitter moss]

i’m pretty sure what people do is do maps —> get splinters —> do boss

[agile beacon]

oh i see

[bitter moss]

the final drop vase

you can sometimes drop 2 or 3 if your very lucky

or drop the wrong case and make no currency

and then there’s grand spectrums which are like what 5 9 and 30 div

[agile beacon]

any particular build recommendations that are ideally not a few divs that can do sekhemas?

[bitter moss]

i’ve dropped 3 ruby so far which is like 90d

[bitter moss]

uh i mean to farm them consistently i’d recommend LA or Twister

evasion is very good

[agile beacon]

oh yeah its always LA it seems lol

[bitter moss]

you don’t need a mirror build for sekhemas they are very easy

i mean they are just nice i think twister is faster tho

i’m playing a bloodmage which is nice because i start with like 15k honour

all i did was mapped did abyss and other content got lucky then invested did sekhemas

idk abt this patch if it changes but citadels are also quite good

once you beat arbiter and max out ur boss atlas

one of them is like 2d or was yesterday

[agile beacon]

sounds like its all about the boss rushing then atleat for the low budget farming strats

[bitter moss]

rest are 100-200 exalts doing

[agile beacon]

or low budget juicing..

[bitter moss]

i don’t think juicing is worth it tbh

i’d rather path to a citadel for some quick div if prices are still the same

[agile beacon]

I try to avoid the tedium of mega map juicing too

[bitter moss]

or do sekhemas for a higher chance

you also get jewels that you can slam

and who knows maybe you get lucky and slam a really nice jewel

or just hideout goblin

and craft gear all day xd

also have a look at crafting gear

[agile beacon]

assuming there's any gear to craft that still generates deterministic profits XD

[bitter moss]

i crafted my amulet for like 300 exalts

and my wand is like the same

but both worth over 20d

[bitter moss]

i mean depends if u get lucky ish

i personally don’t enjoy crafting to sell

crafting for my own gear is fun though

[agile beacon]

i would like to try but its kinda overwhelming and requires... abit too much capital to start at this point

[bitter moss]

how much currency do u have?

i’d highly recommend sekhemas because relic was like 3d the other day

[agile beacon]

like.. 2 div to my name

[bitter moss]

or the vase

oh for crafting

i think 1-4d wands cost on average 100-200 exalts

[agile beacon]

yeah, crafting needs like a few divs to start imo

[bitter moss]

best thing would prob be buy relics or whatever they are called for sekhemas

craft 2 or so wands

sell them

maybe make a few div drop a vase thingy make more div

invest into build blah blah blah

[agile beacon]

well thx for your suggestions, I'll start off with ritual and maybe sekhemas.. im playing a slow build

[bitter moss]

what build?

[agile beacon]

wind dancer titan using rolling slam

[rotund trench]

For general currency drops I guess the main things are high tier waystones, max mods, good tablets, and rarity on gear.

I personally don't worry too much about it, as long as I have a few exalts, i'm happy.

[bitter moss]

also don’t stress too much abt maxxing rarity

i swear i’ve dropped more raw divs on base t15s w/ no rarity gear when i’m pathing to something XD

but it def helps

quant > rarity

[rotund trench]

There are also things in your atlas passives like rarity, effect of explicit modifiers on waystones, magic/rare mobs, etc

This is awesome. you can get rid of some crap magic mods.

[undone osprey]

any way to reroll map modifers to get quant other than putting 3 in machine?

i keep getting low quant or no quant then going to market

if orb of alcmey does this, can you explain?

brain small like bean

[rotund trench]

It rerolls, whatever magic mods are on

So if you got magic waystone with penetration you don't want you can alchemy it. In general, it should be cheaper, but I'd guess the price will increase

[undone osprey]

ah but still no way to reroll tablets tho?

I mispoke

I mean to reroll tablets for quant

my mistake

[rotund trench]

alch is up by 3500% according to poeninja

[uneven moon]

what are the slots under the waystone?

[rotund trench]

Those are for tablets

You no longer put tablets in towers.

[uneven moon]

oh, what are towers for now?

[rotund trench]

Just getting more vision

and they drop a tablet

[uneven moon]

so I get the tablet back now and consume 1 use?

[rotund trench]

yes, so if it has 15 it will use 1 and be 14.

[uneven moon]

I get it back later?

[rotund trench]

yeah

you can keep using them until they are 0 and they disappear

[uneven moon]

thanks

[rotund trench]

And by "buff" it's really just 0% to ~5% chance to evade, so really not much. So big nerf all around.

[chilly meadow]

what does unmodifiable mean guys?

[jagged drift]

Starting maps for the first time and have no clue what to do. I found YouTube videos, but I feel like the vids assume you know what you are doing. Any good beginner vids or website you all would recommend?

[rotund trench]

It means you can't change the mods

[rotund trench]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOAAYg-QyyY try this. if you have more questions ask. But if you are just starting follow quests and get corrupted nexuses for atlas points.

The one on the left is a runic, what is the one on the right?

[chilly meadow]

what does the stat mean? 54 movement speed will affect to me at the start?

[rotund trench]

that means you will move faster

[chilly meadow]

so i will have all of that boon at the start right?

[rotund trench]

I don't see why not, but I've never used a sekehmas in progress.

[sweet wyvern]

those stats are the relics that are applied to the barya

[rotund trench]

yeah, but they seemed to be asking if their effect only applied sometime later after you start (not sure why they were wondering that)

[sweet wyvern]

yeah, those stats will affect you the entire run

[rotund trench]

Let's see how this goes.

perfect transmute and perfect aug

[rotund trench]

Dang this is already so good it hurts to put +3 spell skill

removed the cold which is best case

[marble fjord]

Can someone explain enduring elixir a bit?

[zenith sigil]

so, normally when you use a flask, that lets say restores 1000hp over 4s, the effect stops the moment you hit max hp, even if there is some duration left

also you can use flask multiple times, and the uses queue up, so if you have like 1000degen for 10seconds and use the flask 3 times, you will have 1000 restore for 12seconds, keeping your life unchanged and it keeps going cos you never hit max, life will just stay where it is (math doesnt check out in this example, but you get the point..)

with enduring, you can't do that queueing of multiple uses

but the regen from the flask is active for its full duration, even if you hit max hp

[rotund trench]

sounds right, but I'm not 100% sure

[zenith sigil]

so if you have a flask that gives you i dunno, 3k life over 8seconds, you effectively have 375hp/s regen every time you use it, for 8s

[rotund trench]

yeah, I assume when you queue they finish their full duration

[zenith sigil]

but you cant use the flask, while the previous use is active

Enduring elixir prevents queueing

[rotund trench]

ok, is that the one that keeps working after you hit max?

[zenith sigil]

yep

[rotund trench]

I thought you were mainly asking about queuing normal ones.

[zenith sigil]

effect doesnt stop when you hit max, it runs the full flask duration, but cant queue

the question from Kas was to explain enduring elixir :)

[rotund trench]

oh sorry. i didn't see that you were answering someone else, my bad

[zenith sigil]

most of the times, us with green names are the one answering stuff :)

@marble fjord did that help ?

[unborn tusk]

do rare monsters matter for breach such as adding paranoia to my maps ? im looking to try it for the first time since it might be good for my edc build

[raw ivy]

How can i still have energy shield with eldrich battery? :S

[rotund trench]

Rare monsters give better drops.

[rotund trench]

no

[raw ivy]

"ok"

[marble fjord]

@zenith sigil Sorry was testing my build, yeah it does help, may i ask if it still works with eternal youth and potentially MoM?

[zenith sigil]

MoM shouldnt have any impact on life flasks and life regen

eternal youth says 50% less Life Recovery from Flasks
so it should work, you'll just get only half the effect

[junior hornet]

do you convert life to es?

[fickle hawk]

just checking since i noticed rare mobs don't show on the map anymore, is that an optional setting somewhere? i'll take a break from the game if i can't see where 95% of the loot comes from haha

[junior hornet]

nah you can't, people are crying about it too lol

[fickle hawk]

yeah that'll surely be hotfixed i'll just chill on it for (hopefully) a day or two

still no conclusive study on rakiata drops being affected by rarity or anything?

[gaunt creek]

you only need to kill the boss in a map to finish it , so it was a given that they would take the rare mobs off the map

[rotund trench]

I think I saw your name in some HC leaderboard 🙏

[gaunt creek]

nah , I only got to lvl 80 in hcssf and then died

[fickle hawk]

it is not a given at all, idc if they're the clear requirement for a map rares drop 95% of loot, i've never seen a divine out of a boss it's required we be able to see and kill them. people complained on launch about not being able to see them aswell

clear req or not possibly leaving behind even 1-2 rares when you've spent 10 divines on tablets and maps is stupid. they have our loot we want it let us see them

otherwise it's just time padding their game forcing us to check every nook and cranny of every map just making sure we didn't miss one, we didn't even get a rare mob counter to see if we're done, which i wouldn't like but better than nothing

[rotund trench]

Not sure what the leaderboard is it's on poeladder

I guess uniques

[gaunt creek]

ahh that one, it's because there are no ppl on that leaderboard 😄

[fickle hawk]

no counterpoint? you're fine with never seeing rares?

[hexed bloom]

I dislike it. Just walking around blind again now. The Vision is clearly to not let us have any vision.

[fickle hawk]

imagine they tied rares to light radius xD

[rotund trench]

This is not really an issue for the avearge player who is just trying to survive the map.

[fickle hawk]

an average player can use revives and run less tablets or lower maps they have alternatives, i need 20 div for rakiata, 6 for another support gem, XXX divines for upgraded gear converting from hybrid to crit LA i need to see rares

my build kills pretty fine right now but progress is the only thing really holding me and it just takes shitloads of currency which funnily enough comes almost entirely from rare mobs so

[rich elbow]

funny because my currency primarily comes from abyssal chests/depths, the occasional essence corruption and rituals

[rotund trench]

i just found a omen of witteling in ritual

[rich elbow]

never had the feeling that rares dropped all that much currency at all, but then again i didnt do huge iiq + tripple tower stacking.

at least from the icon'd rares. a ton of rares arent even on the map since they spawn from sidecontent lol

[rotund trench]

I mean, if your goal is currency, there are much better ways than running maps 🙂

[grim vortex]

Can you stack multiple irradiated tablets or are the extras useless?

I guess another way to put it is, should all 3 tablets be a different type?

[rotund trench]

At least for irradiated it shouldn't help. May not even use the 2nd one.

I kind of doubt if others will stack since they probably haven't programmed it for that.

[pseudo barn]

Jewels that affect passive nodes only affect nodes you actually put points in right?

[spring nymph]

Hey guys, i'm currently levelling up a witch but the combo essence drain contagion isnt really as good as people sell it. Is there chaos damage alternatives ? Thanks. (I've seen people have chaos Fireballs but idk how they get the damage to be chaos)

[rotund trench]

ED-contagion is good if you are ok with that play style. early on there my be some places where it doesn't feel great.

[spring nymph]

Almost every place yeah xD

[rotund trench]

i like it, drop contagion, hit with ED, watch the mobs go bye bye

[sweet wyvern]

blackflame covenant keystone right above witch

[spring nymph]

Its not really that bad tbh but i'v

[spring nymph]

Oh lemme see that

Ah it's far but not that far

Tyy

[rotund trench]

that's a completely different build, btw

[spring nymph]

Yeah obviously

[cursive hawk]

After the latest patch and the change in evasion, does that have any downside to those of us playing a character that relies upon evasion / deflection?

Just hit end of acts as an amazon lightning arrow. Curious if it'll still work.

[rotund trench]

I would wait before making any drastic changes but it does seem like evasion was nerfed. Not sure about deflection. See #2┃after-acts-help message

[rich elbow]

it is really good tho there are a bunch of things that are imo almost required to make it play nice. quality on contagion to infect more monsters is huge so you have more targets to hit with ED, and pierce on ED because very frequently monsters just jump infront of your contagion'd target, blocking the combo.

[scarlet turret]

patch is up? already? lool

[fickle hawk]

like a hotfix?

do we have rare enemies back on the map yet xD

[scarlet turret]

no, that one with tower and mapping changes, and yes it is that one

so fast oO

[fickle hawk]

oh the 3.1.0 update was like 15 hours ago? old news lol

[scarlet turret]

not old if you just woke up haha

i thought it would be next week...

[fickle hawk]

nah but this update is making me take a break from the game, without seeing rares on the overlay map theres no point playing, not spending 2 more minutes every map scouring every edge to make sure i haven't missed one

ill be back when they unfuck that up

[sweet wyvern]

you don't have to kill rares anymore

[scarlet turret]

so i'm the only one fetishist, clearing everything i can, holding to imperial dogma "in the emepror's name - let no one survive" ?

[fickle hawk]

to clear a map sure, but they drop 95% of the loot

[scarlet turret]

map is done when i'm the only alive there kek

[sweet wyvern]

do they tho?

[fickle hawk]

i've never seen a divine or better come from a boss, it's always rares

[scarlet turret]

oh wekk

lets see if crossbow still jamming or its time to roll on spear

[dull lava]

can you quality something that is corrupted?

[sweet wyvern]

no

[fickle hawk]

i got a friend into the game yesterday so imma start a new character with them, hopefully by the time i'm back to endgame i can see rares again, i literally won't touch the endgame again until that happens prayge

[scarlet turret]

sorc looks nice, i'm thinking about doing meme chaos flamerain build

[proven patio]

Are 21 skill gems bugged? Can’t equipe them

[fickle hawk]

did you have one on before? they have a higher level/attribute req

lvl 84 iirc

[proven patio]

I’m level 96

I equipped 1

Won’t let me put others on

[fickle hawk]

if it's not being blocked by attributes then i'm not sure, i have 2 equipped

[proven patio]

Says needs 157 dex I have 240

Ahh it is bugged you gotta manually take the gem out is all

[spring nymph]

I swapped back to ed + contagion bc it's smooth, but the only issue is rares and boss damage

It's so low and long to kill bosses

[rich elbow]

it is.
for SC i'd use it to level and then swap to some bloodmage caster stuff because ED is just too damn slow and i dont care about being tanky as much.
in HC i dont really mind, my character has huge tri curses and nearly 20k ES, i can basically just tab out on bosses, they dont have enough damage. i can tank normal arbiter nuke too.

[timid tide]

Guys, what does it mean in the patchnotes?

The walking sequence from the Sacred Reservoir Map has been removed.

So you just have to open one tether?

[spring nymph]

Yeah I already have my bloodmage build ready for after campaign

[rich elbow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzkgGNcmby0
10 seconds in. you slowly have to walk up to the boss, just like in the campaign. they removed that

[spring nymph]

Issue is levelling killing bosses, i'm pretty sure i'm gonna be able to do all the campaign easily but it still feels weird against bosses

[rich elbow]

tbh for SC i dont really know what else i'd play for the campaign if not edc, if i would be doing another caster

i think there's some minion tech for huge damage that i saw, maybe that

[spring nymph]

I'm not looking to replace ed + contagion but more what could I add to have faster boss dps

[scarlet turret]

omg those bosses are so damn bad now, lost 30% exp due to single stupid crap

starting to hate this game rly much

good feeling when your build is not working, thanks ggg

[rich elbow]

totem with dps supports helps a bit, besides that its really just levels+castspeed.
there is a ring that gives you the 10% more damage taken debuff on monsters you hit

not sure what level that one was again

and despair ig

[scarlet turret]

undodgeble whole arena stuff, please give us more of it

4 times going immune to damage cuz phasing ffs

[twilit pelican]

Should I be saving tablets for when I start juicing maps, or should I just use them as I get them?

[ripe nest]

juicing maps isn't really a thing anymore. They're now used per map instead of at towers. So use them on each map, even at tier 1

You'll get plenty

[humble garnet]

why my hideout dmg drop with better amulet?

[twilit pelican]

Thanks a lot!

[rich elbow]

i'd make sure to check the mods on each tablet tho, some are quite a bit more valuable, and if you're just starting to map, you might wanna sell them instead.

[twilit pelican]

Okie dokie

[ripe nest]

got something that scales off max life?

[twilit pelican]

One more thing, how should I be crafting my waystomes? Is it like in PoE 1 where you just kinda alch and go unless you can't run specific mods?

[junior hornet]

click life flask

[humble garnet]

thank you, found it, killer instinct passive

[ripe nest]

alch and go is what I do. Higher tiers I start using the delirium emotions to instill the maps. Like if you use liquid ire it adds "players are x% delirious" or liquid greed adds rarity and deliriousness.

Also there's an abyss currency that affects maps. Mostly you want to use those on prefixes for "abysses always lead to abyssala depths" or other abyss boosting mods

[scarlet turret]

so, now there is an abbyss crack at 2 savage bossess, just why

NARUTOOO

SASKEEEEE

autistic laughs

[distant knoll]

So as a solo player with 100 rarity on gear should I now run close to 30 quant or close to 60-70 rarity tablets? I have no idea anymore what is statistically better

[mental sierra]

I have run several t15 maps now, it does not seem to generate random content?

[distant knoll]

Maybe you have something on that scales DMG with life/es etc. click your well after equipping the new piece. Otherwise, some other scaling might be responsible like HP to DMG

[mental sierra]

most maps are ony boss, no mechanic
