[solid quest]

Yeah, decided to lock it

now I just need to pray for the game to drop mea lock lol

[rotund trench]

you could actually still lose that inner smith with 3

[solid quest]

i believe it would need to be like top 1% unluck

[rotund trench]

first round it would be 1/4

[solid quest]

ok, first success

if it doesn't destabilize, i'll be safe

[velvet ruin]

how do you see what previous items on the website sold for? so you can judge if just 1 or 2 of something is priced low or high?

[junior hornet]

didn't they added preview on hover this league?

never used it tho I don't look back

[velvet ruin]

well there is 1 jewel of this type up, and i think its priced low. so i want to buy it and re sell higher. so i want to see historical data to confirm before i drop like 500 divine

[karmic atlas]

thanks

[junior hornet]

there's also history on the trade site

[velvet ruin]

i see history showing my sales

[pseudo barn]

There is no such thing

[graceful oracle]

Does anyone use Corrupted Influence? I am itching to try it but I'm playing HC so I'm scared.

[rotund trench]

What is that?

[graceful oracle]

the Atlas notable that double corrupts maps when you use them

corrupted maps you run are corrupted an additional time upon opening the portal or w/e

[rotund trench]

I haven't seen that used much.

If you get bad mods you can always skip it.

[graceful oracle]

right

hmmm

[scenic torrent]

this means Ive not gotten it correct?

[honest nest]

Sometimes the icons get bugged

If you know you did that encounter then you’re good

[scenic torrent]

How many of the books ar ein act4? I remmber gettign one just not from what

[honest nest]

There should be 4 points per act and then 8 in the interludes

2 of which you get from finishing them (the interludes that is)

[scenic torrent]

am i mising any fom act 4?

[honest nest]

So if you’re just finishing act 4 you’re good

[scenic torrent]

Yea i think im close

[honest nest]

Well like I said it’s 4 per act so 4x4=16

[carmine ravine]

What waystone stat is considered good an a T15/16 waystones?

Like how much item rarity, magic monster, etc is considered good?

i’m trying to make a blood mage COC elemental weakness build. and i can’t get as many comets to spawn or spawn frequent like other people can and idk why. i had a decent amount of crit chance on my build. can anyone help me understand what it could be?

[cobalt rivet]

Care to send a pob/poe ninja?

[lofty horizon]

idk who to make one and i’m just curious as to what are the main factors that would make the 0%-100% meter for COC raise faster to make the comets from COC spawn more

how not who*

[cobalt rivet]

Cast on crit gains more energy relatively to how much damage you do, and the enemies elemental threshhold

So the more damage you do and the more you can lower the enemies ele threshold the more it'll proc

[lofty horizon]

so for elemental weekness that’ll be mainly factored by its level

[cobalt rivet]

Pretty much

[carmine ravine]

What is the goal of the mirror in maps? To find the map boss and kill him before the timers end? Or to kill as many monsters as possible?

[rotund trench]

Usually to kill monsters, but there is a Deli atlas passive where I think you need to kill boss before timer.

[carmine ravine]

Thank you!

[simple schooner]

did they nerf this in a sense that you cant put a spymaster here anymore?

[steel veldt]

is there any tab for desecrated ribs etc

[rotund trench]

not sure you ever could

[cobalt rivet]

This is now how you do the corner

This is the correct pathing for the corner

[cobalt rivet]

You then put the spymaster between the garrisons

is the smith of katava any good?

[blazing forge]

Does the suffix mod on Rings - Leech #% of Physical Attack work with Bows and Projectile skills?

[sweet wyvern]

yes. the only qualifier is dealing physical damage with an attack

[blazing forge]

meaning? the initial hit?

[sweet wyvern]

attacks are a category of skill

physical is a damage type alongside fire/cold/lightning/chaos

[blazing forge]

so I have to check the skill I am using to see if it has the Physical trait on it?

[broken geyser]

Hello. I'm wondering what is the benefit of killing the Chaos Trialmaster other than getting the last ascencion passive points. I already have max ascencion after killing the boss on Sekhemas, and by killing the mini boss at room 10 of Chaos Trial I get one of the 3 Fates that are usually worth around 10 divines. Does the Trialmaster offer any decent drops that justify spending around 30 Div just to fight him?

[sweet wyvern]

not necessarily. you can add flat phys to attacks from other sources

[blazing forge]

ok ill buy a cheap ring first with leech on it and see if it does what I need it to do

ty for answering sir

[sweet wyvern]

you can see if your attack skill deals any phys damage on your skill sheet (should be a right > arrow next to the skill?)

[blazing forge]

kk

[distant tulip]

Trialmaster drops the adorned jewel about 2% of the time.

[broken geyser]

Ouch, 2%? Do you know how much they are worth?

[distant tulip]

Trade site has unidentified ones at 1 mirror

[distant tulip]

It’s profitable to run tiralmaster if you do enough to drop an adorned. If you get unlucky and don’t drop one before you run out of money you’ll hate life.

[broken geyser]

Aw, okay, thanks a lot, man!

Oh, btw, I see people doing Sekhemas for money, but I don't really know why. I know there is a rare urn that drops that is valuable, is there anything else worth of currency there? The last boss only game me some useless items

[cobalt rivet]

The incense relic that drops is worth 3 mirrors rn

There's also grand spectrums and timeless jewels

[broken geyser]

Wow

I see, thanks a lot!

[distant tulip]

Additionally using a unique relic you can drop against the darkness. Well rolled blue relics can also be worth a few divines.

[broken geyser]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks man!

[neon plume]

hi. i would like to finish my character before phrecia and i would need to farm 2 mirrors. i would like to do that by farming maps, i'm not a big fan of other content. what kind of strategy could i use to achieve that ? (not sure where else to ask, i'm not very familiar with youtube content creators and who to trust)

[rotund trench]

Not sure if you are joking, but for two mirrors you would need average 250 divines an hour, 8 hours a day for a week.

[neon plume]

i'm not joking no. i'm genuinely not familiar with how people make that kind of currency so i thought i'd ask

[rotund trench]

Probably mostly high end crafting and market flipping. The high end temples make tons though. I've heard sekhemas can be pretty profitable, but that's not maps, per se.

[neon plume]

well i've seen you can make a lot of bank by targeting super rare stuff like adorned or the temporalis relic thing, but i really don't like those content

surely there's a way to do that with maps

[rotund trench]

I think farming abyss is pretty good this league. There are several youtube videos on how to do it, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c7ykBa4ovw

[neon plume]

oh, that looks like something that could work ! thanks i'll take a look

[distant tulip]

At 100div/hr and 6900div per mirror it’ll take 138 hours to get two mirrors.

[neon plume]

well i better start working on it then

[neon plume]

after testing it seems to work rather well, although it's difficult to get the hang off since it's easy to accidentaly kill those amanamu rares on the slightest mistake

[lilac linden]

How does leeching xp work in this game? Are there level brackets for things? I'm level 62 right now, what tier of map can I join for best xp? If I go higher does my xp go down or do I just not get full benefit?

[twilit holly]

do I lose my relics if I don't complete the time trial but exit before entering the boss room to sell the barya?

[feral sentinel]

I don't know all of the details but if you're at the level of the monsters or they are higher level than you, you gain exp BUT once they are more than 7 levels higher than you, you get severely diminishing returns.

So you should fight monsters at level 62-69

[light echo]

how can i clear this so i can start building my temple

[pseudo barn]

Repeatedly do architect or Atziri

[scenic cloak]

is there such a thing as getting a HH too soon?

[pseudo barn]

Not that I could think of

[rustic panther]

probably silly question, but the max difficulty Simulacrum is the one you do by using 150 splinters right? or is there another higher difficulty somehwere?

[scenic cloak]

is there a way to automatically fill all these boxes or do i have to click them each time?

[viral stratus]

150 splinters is the max, used to be 300 but that changed

[rustic panther]

thanks, i was almost 100% sure, but was seeing conflicting info and wanted ot make sure I wasnt missing out

[normal osprey]

good question tbh

[sly swallow]

no, 150 splinters is t3, there is no t4

[sly swallow]

area level ideally should be the same as your character level
only leech temples if you are level 73 or higher maybe

[rotund trench]

You will get a lower percentage in temple, but you may still get a large XP gain since there is so much total XP.

[bleak anchor]

Can I place down this spymaster without the corner garrison? If so what do I lock

[tropic moat]

Anyone able to help me thur my 3rd trial

[pseudo barn]

#2┃looking-for-group

[rotund trench]

If you didn't want to lose the garrison then lock garrison and new spy. If you wanted to also keep that armoury you could lock that also.

However, I'm not sure if you will be able to place a new garrison in corner. Should check simulator.

I just checked, and it seems you would be able to place garrison in corner.

Is there a way to allocate Trusted Kinship without pathing to it in any way??

[steel veldt]

at what point can i get gemini bows from my waystones?

also, how do i fix extreme mana issues on my huntress?

[tribal inlet]

Hey guys, can anyone help me with spymaster levelling explanation? I know it can asassinate other spymaster to level up but what does that exactly mean? Does a spymaster need to get disabled to level up another spymaster?

[rotund trench]

If you place a new spy and it's exposed so it can destabilize first round, when you run temple and enter that room some other applicable spy will level up.

If just one, probably golem

I guess depends on what you are trying to do

well, in general it's pretty easy to see what locks will do. You can draw it on a paper and see what possible paths can do if it helps.

[distant tulip]

Here are some options:

1. Lavianga's Spirits mana flask
2. mana cost efficiency on the tree
3. Mana leech (if you are doing physical damage)
4. +mana on items (base mana regen is 4% of max per second)
5. increased mana regeneration on items
6. Clarity I or II in a spirit gem
7. changing supports to ones with lower mana cost multipliers
8. using a lower level skill gem
9. casting/attacking less often

[steel veldt]

is there any way for me to farm option 1?

[distant tulip]

gemini bows are minimum level 78. Normal and magic monsters drop items at the zone level, rares +1 and uniques +2. T14 way stones are level 78 but you could drop them earlier from rares/uniques or if you irradiate the map.

[distant tulip]

It drops everywhere so just farming. It can also be attained by getting lucky with a chance orb on a white gargantuan mana flask of at least level 49.

[rotund trench]

They are also relatively cheap

[heavy vault]

I was checking out rathpith globe focus on trade, and what do the red modifiers signify? And what does the life cost efficiency mod mean? Do you get more starts per 100 life or the skills we cast cost less life?

Like this for example

[distant tulip]

Red mods are the result of a Vaal Cultivation Orb replacing one of the natural mods with a new one. In this case the 60-100% increased energy shield mod was replaced with 12-20% increased life cost efficiency.

Life cost efficiency will just reduce the amount of life you pay to cast a skill.

[cobalt dust]

we need more stuff like above

[indigo sable]

What’s the best way to grind divs in the late late game (besides temple runs if I can help it) now? Just got my 100+ div poison amazon build running and t15’s ain’t cutting it for me anymore

I’m pretty sure ritual is also highly profitable but you probably should craft your own tablets for that.

Can someone explain if i lock the highlighted garrison is the spymaster behind it safe? and what about the rooms to the right of it?

[velvet venture]

is there a minimal map/waystone level required for garukhans to drop?

[lilac linden]

Is there a reason the fire resist at the bottom is greyed out on this item?

Trying to understand if the 39% fire resist at the bottom and the 14% at the top stack with the other two or if they're somehow calculated together already.

[pseudo barn]

You probably used the pseudo stat total fire resistance

[lilac linden]

Just an item I see online.

Oh

you're right

My mistake!

The cold does stack with the other two I assume? So it would be 45 cold resist?

[pseudo barn]

Yes

[lilac linden]

❤️

[eager imp]

Hey, so Idk where to put this question. But, I was powered through the campaign and around Act 3-4 I noticed that I wasn't gaining much exp anymore.

I'm now at level 32, is there anyway to get level quickly to catch up?

[junior hornet]

redo previous areas, try to stay within 7-8 levels or something

[exotic wing]

How do people make currency corrupting things? Feels like vaaling gear has negative EV since 1 of the option is bricking, vaal enchantment rarely hits a desired stat, and bonus socket rarely translates to big price increases?

[pseudo barn]

Just rng

[exotic wing]

RNG with negative EV is just burning money for fun though

[pseudo barn]

You only need one successful craft to make up for multiple failed ones, it's a gamble, that's the whole point.

[exotic wing]

I don't know what crafting recipe has positive EV gambles

Everything I've looked at so far has negative EV

[pseudo barn]

Well you said it feels like the EV is negativ, your feeling is wrong.

But ultimately it simply comes down to rng.

[exotic wing]

Let me give an example: Let's say I Vaal a 600 DPS bow (35d):

• 1/4 chance nothing, it remains 35d
• 1/4 chance I get an enchantment, where I have maybe 50% chance to get an extra 15 dps, which is not significant enough to compete for visibility in the 600 DPS range, so it remains 35d
• 1/4 chance I brick the bow, reducing the price to exalt levels (0d)
• 1/4 chance I get an extra socket, where I can put a physical rune to get 30 more DPS, but I'm still competing in the 600 DPS range meaning the bow remains at 35d

[pseudo barn]

Well

[exotic wing]

I do not see how Vaal orbs can lead to price increases at all

[junior hornet]

may I introduce you to omen of corruption

[pseudo barn]

You don't make consistent bank by just vaaling random stuff

It's specific items that especially profit from it

[lilac linden]

When boosting energy shield for something like CI, should I be looking for % increased Global Defences, + to maximum Energy Shield, or % increased maximum Energy Shield? What is the priority for these?

[junior hornet]

global def is the same as %increased

[lilac linden]

Ok got it, so the same just it applies to more things. How do they stack up against + to maximum Energy Shield?

[junior hornet]

depends on the item

[lilac linden]

Looking for an amulet atm.

[pseudo barn]

And in addition, you saying the price simply doesn't change at all with a successful vaal is incorrect.

[junior hornet]

hard to say, it depends on what you already have

[lilac linden]

Which is hard to say when I'm trying to shop for gear. T_T

This game is very complciated for purchases. lol

[junior hornet]

pob it

[lilac linden]

pob?

[junior hornet]

path of building

it can search the market for an amulet that will give you the best total ES, within a price range

but it might take some time to learn the software

[distant tulip]

If the best thing a Vaal orb can get you is a marginal DPS increase that is outscaled by better mods/rolls then yeah Vaal orb is not good EV. IMO Vaaling only really makes sense on an item that is already close to BiS or for which the extra socket is impactful. I’d say that the extra socket is usually quite good. With uniques specifically the extra socket is especially valuable because it’s not competing with items that have better mods.

[fleet marten]

need that map to unlock the deadly map boss, but no connection to it? is there anything i can do or am i cooked for this one

[pseudo barn]

Nothing u can do except if there is a tower nearby u can use a grand project tablet on.

It's a known bug, you just got unlucky that it affects a map next to an anomaly map.

[fleet marten]

is this in the range enough?

[pseudo barn]

No idea

[fleet marten]

ill try it out rq

[pseudo barn]

Iirc there was a way to show tower range

Try using the map device in ziggurat encampment instead of your hideout

[fleet marten]

refuge map device one didnt make a connection unfortunately

[pseudo barn]

I meant because of the tower range

Not as a fix for the bug.

There is no fix for that one.

I just looked up how to show tower range on Google snd the first results stated to use the one in the encampment.

But maybe that feature was removed entirely back when towers were changed.

[fleet marten]

oh i see, i got access to the deadly map boss there were a lot of other maps to get rid of the storm anyway

ill keep your info in mind for next time the bug happens tho thxs

[lilac linden]

When I sort the market by energy shield by clicking on it (below item quality), why is it that it sorts lower numbers above higher ones sometimes like in this screenshot?

Oh, I see text in the bottom right of the first item. I wonder what that's about.

[junior hornet]

the number below is valued at 20% quality

[lilac linden]

Oh got it ok. So the value in the bottom right of the first item is showing what it would be at 20%.

[broken geyser]

Good morning, guys, how do I get tier XVI maps? I only drop XV

[median escarp]

corrupt t15 maps

[noble grail]

Question, for zealot's oath, does it straight up replace ES regen's numbers with life regen? Or is it life regen added onto your current ES regen?

[broken geyser]

Ohhh ok, tyvm

[median escarp]

es doesnt regen without zealots oath

but it removes your life regen and gives you es regen instead

[noble grail]

What about on soul tether's "Life regeneration is applied to es instead" mod

are your ES regen numbers replaced by your life regen numbers?

[median escarp]

well it can, but idk if theres actually any sources of es regen

i forgot poe2 zo is a bit different

it doesnt prevent life regen

it just applies life regen to es once your life is full

[median escarp]

it adds it

but it prevents your life from regenerating

[noble grail]

ahh that's fine, my life regen is 0 anyway, thanks!

[median escarp]

then it gives you 0 regen

[broken geyser]

Guys, to get more Atlas Passive Points, I need to clean corrupted maps?

[pseudo barn]

Corrupted nexuses with specific increasing lvls, and to get points for the mechanic specific trees you need to engage with the related mechanics, essentially just do your quests.

[lilac linden]

If I'm doing trial of Sek with a friend, do my relics count for him if it's my key?

[junior hornet]

they should

[crimson brook]

i cant get back to the endgame starting area since i left it. what am i doing wrong?

[broken geyser]

tyvm

[pseudo barn]

Iirc you go there via the Atlas map

As in, you go back to the initial spawn point, and then enter the area there.

[crimson brook]

when i click on refuge it wont let me in

[pseudo barn]

Alternatively there also might be a button at the side of the screen.

[crimson brook]

got it thanks

[scenic cloak]

what makes runic splinters so valuable?

[junior hornet]

boss rewards, timeless jewels mostly

[lilac linden]

Is there any difference between % increased Damage and 10% increased Attack Damage for a shapeshifted character? I assume not but I wanted to be sure since wording can be weird.

[junior hornet]

nope

[fathom hearth]

Is there a list anywhere of the Vaal temple bosses?

The architect and Atziri are easy enough to find, but it seems impossible to find a list of the room bosses (like the Bronzeworks one)

Also, anyone know why PoE2DB doesn't list unique monsters (e.g. Jamanra) in the Monster ( https://poe2db.tw/us/Monster#Monster ) section?

[rotund trench]

Some skills are spells and some are attacks. If you have increased attack damage it won't help your spells.

There will be a tag on the skill saying if it's spell or attack.

[rotund trench]

Not sure, but https://poe2db.tw/us/Jamanra%2C_the_Abomination

[broken geyser]

I am getting very little Simulacrum Splinters, is this normal? I don't do a lot of damage to slay dozens of monsters across the screen. When I do Delirium Mirrors, I get around 3 - 7 Splinters, is it normal?

[raw blade]

I'm not sure where to post this but I do need help with my temple. With my board like this, am I screwed if I continue from the third commander to build into that little corner or will it be ok to continue and end with a corruption chamber?

[fathom hearth]

Yeah. Problem is that I want to find the room bosses in the temple (specifically, the big hammer dude in the Bronzeworks etc), but I don't know the names of them (I've searched everywhere, but on PoE2DB but also the web in general), so I can't do a direct search

[raw fox]

in the highlighted section, what do i need to lock to protect the chain?

[chilly meadow]

does rarity and quantity count at the time i enter the map or any condition else guys?

[lilac linden]

Is there a reason level 20 gems seem to cost so much on the trade website? Perfect Jewelers Orbs and level 20 skill gems don't seem to cost all that much in comparison.

[chilly meadow]

temple not usually drop it

most of everyone is farming temple now

[raw blade]

they drop like candy in temple

[rotund trench]

Are you asking about uncut vs the actual skill gem? Hard to tell from your question.

[raw blade]

ya idk but i just assume lvl 20 uncut

[rotund trench]

I just got 6 with a random 6 mod t15 with no tablets. So probably pretty standard if not juiced in some way with atlas, tablets and waystone mods. Might want to check some youtube guides if you are trying to farm them.

[broken geyser]

I'm just trying to get 200 to fight the bosses for each content (breach, delirium, rituals), so I think it'll take a while 😭

[rotund trench]

Yeah, I still haven't done my last one. Yesterday I was doing the last ritual one and got lost in the wisp area.

[broken geyser]

I hate that part 🙁

[unborn forum]

guys anyone here with plant druid build ?

[noble grail]

does the "leech life x% slower" mod affect atziri's acuity leech since its instant?

[tawny escarp]

nope

[marsh herald]

why does this game randomly decide to use 100% of my disk for no apparent reason? 😭

[distant anvil]

Can anyone explain to me what makes Stormweaver strong? It's the 5th most played ascendancy, but when looking at the nodes - it just doesn't look very powerful?

[median escarp]

it can get up to 70% chill, with reverse chill its basically 70% increase action speed

poe1 levels of movement speed basically

[distant anvil]

Oh, how do you get reverse chill?

[median escarp]

shackles of the wretched gloves with the reflect vaal cultivation mod

it has to remove the cannot be chilled mod

https://poe2db.tw/us/Shackles_of_the_Wretched

[distant anvil]

Ah I see

I'm on SSF so I'm guessing it would probably be better for me to go blood mage

[median escarp]

yea, reverse chill isnt very ssf friendly

[warped tapir]

Is the order of how you clear Vaal Temple relevant? Or you get all the room bonuses even before anything is completed?

[tawny escarp]

its not relevant, the bonuses are there from the start

[warped tapir]

one more question for long-term guidance, once you have all the temple cards placed (no-tech simplest temple), what order do you upgrade rooms to leve 3?

[tawny escarp]

not sure, I would think Spymasters, Commanders, Armoury, Golems ,
but there is probably specific info somewhere in here

[unborn forum]

guys i just finished the first 2 trails now when i can do the 3rd and 4th ?

[tawny escarp]

they are not level locked , you can do them whenever you have the Barya , its lvl 80 Barya for the 4th

Baryas are very cheap on market, but the 4th one is not that easy , depends on the modifiers rng

[unborn forum]

how can i fix this

[tawny escarp]

did you respec the ascendency ??
Unseen Path is the Oracle ascendency node

[lilac linden]

Apologies, I meant like...having a skill at +20.

[tawny escarp]

maybe they are corrupted , if its a good corruption it can be really expensive

[rotund trench]

If you mean level 21 then yeah, corrupting a gem can increase it's level by 1.

[broken geyser]

I am at level 91, and doing maps grants me almost no rewards. I take around 20 - 30 mins doing fully juiced T15 maps, and scarcely a few drops here and there that aren't worth much. When I do Chaos Trials, I always get a Fate that is worth around 10 Div, and it takes me around 1 hour at max.
Is this right? Am I doing something wrong? Also, I see endless maps on the Atlas and don't really know where to go.

[rotund trench]

If you want to get descent consistent value from maps you need to do a specific mechanic like ritual or abyss.

[broken geyser]

I am doing Breach, Delirium and Expedition on them, using tablets

[tawny escarp]

Abbys can be very profitable , and also any splinter farm

[broken geyser]

I imagine sellign the splinters can be very rewarding. I am hoarding them for now to farm the bosses, but I'll certainly do that in the future

[rotund trench]

For ritual it's more about farming omens. There is a defer/buy cycle. Would need to lookup youtube guide for details.

[broken geyser]

I'll do that, thanks guys!

Do you guys play this game while doing something else? Like watching a movie, listening to a podcast or music, etc?

[tawny escarp]

hmmm , yes, I need to overload my senses , lol

Twitch, music , game and discord on the side

[broken geyser]

Same here!

[lilac linden]

Would this show under the gem level? I'm currently searching 20-20 for gem level on the website, but the cost is 7 div for a 5 socket version of it.

Meanwhile the perfect jewelers orb + level 20 skill gem don't seem to be nearly as expensive. Just a bit confused.

[rotund trench]

What are you looking for exactly. I can't understand what you mean.

[tawny escarp]

it would look like this , just lvl 21 instead of 20

[lilac linden]

Sorry. Trying to make sense of all this, not very experienced with it. I'm currenly searching for Herald of Ice level 20.

[rotund trench]

Yeah, it looks like lvl 20 5 socket h of ice is 7 div. what is your question about it?

[lilac linden]

I see what's going on. The people selling it for cheaper are just older sales.

The level 20 gem I mean.

[rotund trench]

Yeah, the level 20 spirit gem is 63 div by itself.

uncut

[lilac linden]

Got it. maybe I'll just stick to a lower one for now then.

Ty for the help.

[rotund trench]

But the corrupted lvl 19 + 1 = 20 are onlyl 7 div. That is because to make it level 21 would cost 63 more div

But you can buy a 19 + 1 for 7 div and if you ever get rich you can upgrade it to 21 if you want.

[lilac linden]

19 seems to be a lot cheaper. I think I'll just buy that + a perfect jewelers orb and use that instead for now.

[tawny escarp]

get the one for 7 div from here
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate of the Vaal/G69pYO7OUb

[rotund trench]

Yeah, it's cheaper because getting the +1 corrupted level is not guarenteed.

[lilac linden]

I meant just a normal 19 for now hah. Not quite ready for the div market yet.

If I buy a pre socketed corrupted one, I can still put support gems into it right?

[tawny escarp]

yes, works as normal

[rotund trench]

yeah, just go with the 19 for now. and be careful about buying corrupted gems under quality 20 as seen in fluffy post

You can change the level after corruption, but not quality

[tawny escarp]

yea, lower quality can be a pain, but +1 level is usually better

[lilac linden]

Ok, so I'd want something like this then right?

[rotund trench]

no

it needs to say +1 level from corruption

[lilac linden]

Isn't that the one that cost a few div? I was trying to find a level that was cheaper for now since I don't have that much.

[rotund trench]

oh sure that one you posted works

[lilac linden]

Alright cool. Thank you for the help.

[thick imp]

Losing my mind over this, I am trying to get the architect to move the middle square, I followed what instructions are available which is to path and room into positions which can pop into and make sure to not have any rooms that could connect to the X room that I want him in. But I failed Im not sure why and now he's connected to a room that I locked. Any idea on this or is it literally RNG

[bleak anchor]

if i reroll the rooms can the sacrifce room come back?

[tawny escarp]

I guess its because the rooms are looped , so after all those got destroyed , then it was rng selected where his room will be

[cursive parrot]

How’s ignited support stone work does it ignite without you having to use fire attacks ?

[fleet marten]

for kulemak fight, i heard I just click kurgal each time right?

[rotund trench]

Whatever you want really. You can look up what mods roll for each type, but the chance of getting a good combo is low.

[unborn forum]

these for sell or

[tawny escarp]

you have to give them to specific npcs , usually in the same map where you get them.
except the shark fin , you give it to the grandma on Ngakanu island

[unborn forum]

couldnt find any grandma there dude

[unborn forum]

found it its Kingsmarch

[wanton relic]

So, when I'm starting to build the snake, where do I put locks? Just on the end?

I have golem -> smithy -> armoury -> garrison, but no spyworks to place right now. I do have 5 locks though

[rotund trench]

yeah, normally just on the end if just a linear chain.

[lilac linden]

When daze effects a player from the support gem Overextend what happens exactly?

[sweet wyvern]

daze causes you to take more stun buildup

[grand kite]

Do these two mods work together on Citadels?

[idle hazel]

For reference, most status effects will be underlined and can be moused over or clicked on to show you what they do.

[valid relic]

What's the deal with Trampletoe? The overkill damage seems good, ostensibly, but the pricing for it is anywhere from 2ex to dozens of divs and I can't see anything that might cause the price difference

[carmine ravine]

Is accuracy on an Int helmet worth something?

[tawny escarp]

nah, in general for most builds accuracy is not worth anything

[carmine ravine]

Thank you

[pearl berry]

Anyone know which contagion + ED lich guide i should use?

[tawny escarp]

most of them are basically the same

[rotund trench]

On my build (meteor/slam bear) accuracy/dexterity is one of the main stats POB likes for min/max-ing damage on gear.

Basically, if you gain accuracy you gain damage (more hits) and effective crit hit chance.

But if you are doing spell damage then no.

[rotund trench]

last league I used a combination of deadrabbits and waggles, and a bit of captainlance

[carmine ravine]

Thank you

[undone osprey]

Can someone explain how to get rid of this?

Done 100+ maps and ~15 dungoens but it never gets rid of the start. So I can never start my temple loops like everyone else. I dont understhand how to get rid of this part

Is only option new character?

Just fully out of ideas. I tried placing more units in middle and building seperate road but neither will result in early road being destroyed

[rotund trench]

If you start your chain and don't place any more on your paths, they will eventually go away. You should be able to start your chain now.

[scenic cloak]

what exactly is kulemak "in his final form"? i just defeated him for the first time

[rotund trench]

If you don't take the ring you will fight him again 3 more times.

[scenic cloak]

god damn

[cursive parrot]

How do I avoid herald of utopia one shot ring bomb ?

[scenic cloak]

how can i remove HH mods? that teleporting thing is annoying as hell

[valid relic]

Why are Breach Splinters so expensive when Xesht's drops are pretty cheap, I don't see any like chase div-hunt items in his pool

[rotund trench]

Not sure, but maybe catalysts?

[distant tulip]

Unequip and re-equip your HH

[ruby lichen]

QQ about adorn, this is too expensive to find out through experience.

How are these getting their cultivated mods and retaining the original mod? I’ve seen them on market with 2 cultivated mods and original. I’ve also seen some that have lost the original mod.

I’ve googled and come up dry, there’s nothing on the wiki that seems to explain it either:

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Cultivated_unique_item#Mechanics

[heavy vault]

If I have a rare item without max number of modifiers, will desecration add a modifier or replace one of the existing ones?

[exotic wing]

Thinking of starting a new character, but my W key is loose meaning I can't use WSAD control at all (my first character is a mouse movement Titan), are there other classes where mouse movement works well?

[rotund trench]

add

[heavy vault]

Gotcha, thank you!

[rotund trench]

Seems like most builds would work ok with mouse movement ... but ain't keyboards pretty cheap?

[sweet wyvern]

could also rebind wasd to like esdf

[exotic wing]

i play on laptop; my replacement key is coming soonTM

But I'm also asking this because my first class was a crossbow user and my W key broke during the playthrough, and mouse control crossbow feels like buttcheeks

[rotund trench]

Well like Serenity mentioned you could use other keys. If you want to get crazy you can switch right/left hands and use i j k l

[heavy vault]

Thank you, It shows 65 increased energy shield, 42 chaos damage, 26 to mana. Im using blackflame covenant and blood magic. So my fire spells do chaos damage and i have no mana. Will the chaos damage boost fire spell that was changed to chaos damage?

[sweet wyvern]

yes

[heavy vault]

Thank you! picking chaos damage then

[mighty mountain]

do you use zantipis medallion on late game temple?

or is it bad?

like, i'm worried it "bricks" my temple cause it makes it too hard or w/e

and i dont really know the actual benefit of using them

[rapid raven]

how long would it take to setup the temple from scratch? ballpark

[rotund trench]

1 to 52 weeks

[rotund trench]

It won't brick it. Mods are rerolled every time. If you get bad mods just skip it. the medallions just allows more mods to be randomly rolled each time. Also the medallion only affects 10 rounds then mod count goes down so if you thought it was too hard on average you could just not use the medallion again until it got too easy.

[mighty mountain]

are the bonuses worth it tho?

like if it adds 20% rare monsters and I already have 800%, it's not really doing anything for me

[rotund trench]

My guess is that it should have a pretty large affect, esepcially when the mods rolled synergize with your temple.

but, just like in maps. if it's too hard don't do it

[dusty pawn]

What does grand spectrum juewel does?

[sweet wyvern]

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

[warped tapir]

im getting this error next to Spellslinger, which is granted to me by a wand. why is it saying this error?

[tough jewel]

because you don't have a skill socketed. decide on which skill you want it to cast and insert that (can be like comet or arc or similar things)

it works similarly to cast on crit but you still have to manually cast it in the end

[warped tapir]

ofc got it, ty

[tiny garnet]

What are your thoughts on overseer tablets? Useful or worthless?

[polar prawn]

Anyone have some ideas about doing damage from curses? I want to make a build that emphasizes on blasphemy and curses but I am struggling to put out damage.

[mighty mountain]

architect won't seem to move... does it only move to spots with zero things surrounding it?

otherwise it wont move?

[rotund trench]

I think so. But if a room happens to destabilize when you close temple it can create possible positions not available before closing.

[fresh escarp]

Sometimes I can't put stuff in Ange's tabs to sell. The items in my inventory are greyed out. Usually resolves itself after awhile. Is this just a bug?

[rotund trench]

Yeah, I just log out to character selection and it fixes it.

[fresh escarp]

Thank you!

[rapid raven]

can someone help me with temple resetting

how do I reset this to 0

[hallow burrow]

Just keep the architect

Or just run it finish it but put nothing on the board

Each run

Kill not keep

[rapid raven]

I need to put 1 room to start the temple though right?

oh ok I don't need to

[hallow burrow]

Yeah I was about to say

Did they patch it haven't played in a day

Anybody need leech exp?

[foggy axle]

how to make a spear get 2 sockets without any corrupt and its unique?

[median escarp]

thats exceptional gear, they can drop with 1 socket more than they can normally get

theyre drop only

[rapid raven]

so I'm following a temple guide, I need to put a dynamo and thaut and so on, after I put them do I need to run them or get out of temple without running it?

[tawny escarp]

maybe it was from before patch

[primal wadi]

do multiple instances of "Map contains an additional Summoning Circle" stack? I have two tablets that both have it, not sure if I'll end up with two circles

I wanan try this build but found out it's for Oracle, would it be good on a witch ?

Or like is it impossible for the witch

I'm not really sure of what these Oracle passives do

I really wanna try that build, I definetly farmed a LOT more than enough currency for it, but I really dont wanna inflict myself doing the levels and especially the campaign again just for one quick endgame new build test.

[junior hornet]

you would have to spend a lot of efforts to redo the passive tree

[spring nymph]

What's hard about it ? Everything seems connected close from where i'm at no ?

[honest nest]

You’d only need to respec enough points to connect to the start and then whatever points are different between the two trees

But prioritize the connection to the starting point

[spring nymph]

I would also not have the critical hit chance required i think

Bc his doesnt care abotu critical hit chance

[junior hornet]

Oracle has nodes no one else has access to, and they can take nodes around a keystone freely

[honest nest]

That’s true also ^

[junior hornet]

Also you should open ninja or pob, mobalytic doesn't show what I've mentioned

[spring nymph]

I can't see any node in that tree that i cannot have access to

[spring nymph]

https://pobb.in/9ig9FXUtCAPn not sure where to look at tbh

[junior hornet]

You see the nodes taken that are not connected to anything

[spring nymph]

Oh damn

why does mobalitycs not show those ?

[junior hornet]

They lazy ig

They have a lot of games

[spring nymph]

Damn yeah and these are not useless passives too...

Welp

Guess i wont do a new build then

Kinda sadge

[spring nymph]

@junior hornet i have a question, in his build he uses spellsinger and his wand has spellsinger, but cant i just use a actual spellsinger spell and not care about the wand having it ?

If it exists

[idle hazel]

There's no separate Spellslinger Spell, like the other Wand/Staff/Sceptre skills it is exclusive to the base type.

[spring nymph]

Erf

That wand is expensive then

If only my staff could sell

[spring nymph]

Okay so i think i managed to make it work, but for some reason my minions dont get revived really quickly

And if i'm to ofar from my minions they dont really revive i think, not sure

Seems like its working nicely for now

I gotta try temple

[simple basin]

i am stuck, what i can to do?

i waited so long when monster attacking me and now i am unstuck

[carmine ravine]

"The immured fury" guarantee a fracture orb? And does the waystone level matter on it?

[sweet wyvern]

did you explore the whole area for the other soul core?

[simple basin]

I am trying to attach core then monster attacking but my buff pushing to monster then I am stuck in centre

[sweet wyvern]

rolling doesn't work?

[simple basin]

No skills, no dodges, just run somewhere then lift me back in centre

Just wait couple minutes when monster attack me then unstuck and continue explore ..

If I reconnect then I lost progress

[exotic wing]

Are there divine farms that are more efficient than exped logbooks? I'm a big trader so I need a way to make quick liquidity

[heavy bane]

rituals

[radiant crest]

why can't I get the accendancy points after beating the 3rd trail. It says to interact with the alter to get them but it dosen't work

[sweet wyvern]

how many total do you have now?

[radiant crest]

4

[sweet wyvern]

sekhemas or chaos?

[radiant crest]

i tried both

they didn't work

[sweet wyvern]

which bosses did you fight in sekhemas? for points 5/6 should be scorpion

and chaos should be 10 rooms

[radiant crest]

i fought the two guys

and there was only 7 rooms

[sweet wyvern]

on the barya/ultimatum, it'll say if running it will give you additional points

[radiant crest]

ya its says running will grant acandancy points

[sweet wyvern]

for sekhemas, you only did 2 floors. you need to do 3

[radiant crest]

so i need to do it 3 times

[sweet wyvern]

no, just once and reach the third floor

[lilac linden]

I assume that all of these modifiers are already calculated into the evasion rating and energy shield value at the top? Just making sure I can go off that number to understand what I'm getting.

[sweet wyvern]

they are

[exotic wing]

So uh, I joined a full sized temple party for XP, but there is so much loot in the rooms that my game is crashing

It even crashes when I restart the game and try to re join

[sweet wyvern]

do you have a loot filter?

[exotic wing]

Filter blade, set to semi strict

I can’t even access my character anymore

It’s just constantly crashing from “buffer underflow”

OK, I found the hideout login button

[sweet wyvern]

i'd recommend very strict at least for that

[main pebble]

Is there a way to boost the amount of ritual tablets that drop for you? I have plenty of other tablets but the ritual ones dont seem to drop

[sly swallow]

watch xfarmers guides for ritual

[sly swallow]

your filter should only show chaos, greater chaos, perfect chaos, annulment, perfect augment, perfect exalt, abyss tablet, divine, top uniques, top white bases and 5k+ gold piles, but thats only if you need gold

[fringe basin]

Is there a way (a log?) to see my purchases in async trade? I bought something a few days ago and I want to check how much I paid for it (I forgot, I had a lot of trades done in a short time span). In my shop I can see a log of items I've sold, but is there a way to retrieve this information for purchases?

[pseudo barn]

Not that I'm aware of

[pearl berry]

I need to figure out how to correctly search for a good withered wand and focus for my contagion+ED witch

[safe star]

should i lock room in the red circle to force architect into green one?

[real yacht]

i have a question related to maps does only doing the map objective give you the atlas point or do you need to finish all of map content to get it ?

[graceful vigil]

atlas points are in poe1 iirc. in poe2 you defeat the map boss to complete the map. which puts the icon green and allows you to progress to adjacent nodes if that makes sense. the map content is just extra

[real yacht]

ah gotcha

[real yacht]

btw just a question i saw doryani had the refund atlas passive point option so i checked and there is an atlas tree but i have 0 clue how to get points for it

[graceful vigil]

Ah, it says under where the points are

Hover over the 0/40

[real yacht]

ahh okay

[graceful vigil]

Yep

[real yacht]

ah its a lot different from poe 1

[graceful vigil]

Yes

And each extra content has points too

On map device upper left corner is icons and what they mean

[scenic cloak]

if you need 5 enemies to be surrounded. And the constricting command gives -4 isnt that enough? why is the one with 5 so expensive?

[junior hornet]

at -4 you need one enemy nearby

-5 means you get it always

[idle hazel]

It doesn't work like that since 0.4

[solemn siren]

Do u guys normally run your tablets or just sell these

[junior hornet]

shame, they make 5 possible with double corrupt

[rotund trench]

If the final blow on an enemy has enough damage to freeze will it freeze before dying for the purposes of herald of ice explosion? i.e. does freeze occur before death?

[rotund trench]

Unless you are specifically farming abyss with the right setup you should probably not use it. Whether you save it or sell it, is up to you. Here is a vid that explains how and why to use it https://youtu.be/-c7ykBa4ovw?t=488

[exotic wing]

Does using multiple ritual tablets on the same waystone do anything?

[grand crag]

the implicit doesnt stack but the modifiers do

[scenic cloak]

so it is useless? the one with 5

[idle hazel]

It doesn't do anything differently to one with 4, so pretty much.

[scenic cloak]

well not useless as good as 4 😄

ok thx thought so

[odd imp]

2GB Patch and no patch notes?

[scenic cloak]

can i juice my maps further than this? alc --> ex --> vaal

[magic iris]

At what monster level do the divs drop? Do I have to run level 15 maps or will smaller ones work too?

[tawny escarp]

oh yeah, so many people wasted a bunch of currency on -5 when -4 was like 10 times cheaper and did the same thing 😅

[exotic wing]

Why cant i put a depot here?

[slate trellis]

Did my first four T16 Maps today - Am i doing something wrong or is it normal that a T16 Map only does drop T15 Maps ? Or is it just bad luck ?

[scenic cloak]

as far as i know T16 can only be achieved via corruption

so the highest that can drop naturally is T15

but theres a note on the atlas tree that corrupted maps can drop maybe that works?

[slate trellis]

ahh ok, thx

[cosmic terrace]

Is anything of value added putting an overseer tablet on a citadel?

[rotund trench]

I think the only thing that matters for fragments is waystone drop chance.

[distant tulip]

Divines can drop as low as area level 35 which is in the campaign. Higher tier maps have greater “monster effectiveness” which will result in higher rarity loot. Divine orbs are quite rare though and there a lot of other factors that affect item rarity. Most mapping strategies make most of their profit from selling mechanic specific items like omens from rituals or catalysts from breach. What are you farming?

[distant tulip]

Omen of chaotic monsters or omen of chaotic quantity or omen of chaotic rarity. Depending on the strategy each of these could result in more juice on average than random 6 mods.

[nimble frigate]

When selling high div items.( Over 500d) Will it take a long time normally?

[tawny escarp]

depends on the item and stats, you can compare similar items and see how long have they been on trade site

for example if there is like 10 very similar items on trade for similar price, but they are all posted more than 10 days ago ,
it means they are not really wanted or the price is too high

[ornate marsh]

Whats th3 name of that jewel that gives +3 to level of comet skills?

[tawny escarp]

Prism of Belief Diamond

cheapest one is 5 Mirrors

[ornate marsh]

Lol 5 mirror jewel. Nice

Ahah ty anyway bro

[tawny escarp]

+1 is 700 div

[nimble frigate]

Yeah of course, I just never know when to lower it and keep it there lol I normally list it 10% less then the most recent post

[sweet wyvern]

because it only applies when it's active

[mighty mountain]

does anyone know if this works with zero energy shield?

like on a full armour build?

if it does, that's weird as hell IMO lol

[rotund trench]

no

My game has been pooping it's pants today. Anyone else having problems with lag/freeze/login?

[velvet lance]

Hi, there's this one goddamn mob in breah that kills me all the time, with the large antenna or whatever. What in the love of god is his dmg type? Is it chaos? Does it ignore armor or something?

[thorn rose]

I've tried to use the currency exchange market for a couple of things but they haven't shown stock for exalted orb. Is the market screwed?

[rotund trench]

It should, what are you trying to exchange?

[thorn rose]

twilight reliquary key and the other I tried was an ox-rune

[rotund trench]

There should be exalts for those. I sell relequaries for exalt often

[thorn rose]

said no stock

[rotund trench]

Maybe try logging out and in.

[thorn rose]

I'll just retry tomorrow, was logging off anyway. But I just got back into endgame and missed all of the temple inflation drama, so I was just wondering.

[rotund trench]

reliqueries have been around 5x

[wispy dust]

For the temple, should I eventually connect to and fight architect, while keeping stuff in middle to try and get him to spawn against the right wall?

[rotund trench]

Yes, if that is where you want him you got to get him there somehow. I would also get rid of those other exclusive rooms so it doesn't mess with him moving there.

As long as you lock your chain it should be ok when you fight him.

[solemn siren]

Does anyone know any builds that use staff and revolve around fire spells/ignite

[wanton relic]

Is it worth corrupting t15 maps for regular mapping/

[junior hornet]

Time of Need doesn't proc while I'm at full life? I have a curse on me but it won't remove it.

[distant tulip]

There have been a lot of bugs with time of need not activating. For me it was usually that weapon swapping would reset the timer even when activated on both weapon sets.

[junior hornet]

for me it just not activating at all, map mod's curse duration is 20s so it should have enough time

[distant tulip]

I checked bug reports. It looks worse than I thought. weapon swapping seems to actually increase the timer and each time you swap the timer goes up. To test deactivate it and reactivate it, see if it is working correctly.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3650992/page/3

There was a GGG response in September. Must be some bad spaghetti code.

[junior hornet]

well that's sucks, guess I'll have to dodge roll

[distant tulip]

What does it cost you? 1 Vaal orb, sometimes it downgrades the map or rolls mods you can’t do. What is the upside? Extra mod maps mean additional loot. T16 maps are more likely to drop better loot, higher item level bases, high level uncut gems, rare omens…

[cosmic kindle]

question, how fucked is my temple rn?

[solemn siren]

Does anyone know any builds that use staff and revolve around fire spells/ignite

[viral stratus]

Ignite is a fire spell

[pseudo barn]

They most likely mean the elemental ailment

[viral stratus]

I'm aware, ignite spell can also be a solid build. A lot of ppl don't like the recent changes to it, but it's still strong. Just a little harder to use

[pseudo barn]

If you are aware that ignite is an ailment then I don't understand your initial answer, but doesn't matter.

That said, I actually can't even find a skill named ignite.

Which makes your answer even more confusing.

[scenic cloak]

do you still need around 100% rarity on your gear? because literally have 0% right now

[pseudo barn]

You don't need any rarity

It's just nice to have

[young dove]

They probably mean incinerate

[feral sentinel]

Not as important this league.

[jaunty vine]

hi I have problem with my flicker strike attack because when i use it it only hits on single enemy, how to make flicker hit many enemies in a row?

[heavy vault]

Is there anywhere I can find Atlas passives? Most guides I'm checking don't have atlas included

[civic lagoon]

Is it a good idea to invest your divine’s into other items considering the value of it isn’t as high this League?

[limber violet]

is there still any way to get 3 crystals from vaal beacons bc rn i am playing T15 with all mods on and i still only get 2 crystals

[rotund trench]

Just curious, but where did you hear you can get 3?

[limber violet]

i saw it on yt

not heard it but literally saw it

[rotund trench]

Consistently or just a chance?

[limber violet]

idk it only showed him getting 3 crystals in a T15 run

[rotund trench]

I think you can get 3 but it's random like other drops, like calamity fragments etc.

[limber violet]

mk thx

[heavy vault]

What level do you have to be to do the last two ascendancies? And is anyone willing to help me through them for a price? 🤣

[rotund trench]

This is what the patch notes say. I take it to mean that on average a T15 6 mod will give 2 on average: 'Map Areas now grant additional Energized Crystals, scaling with Map Tier and number of Modifiers. This results in double the number of temple runs you can do when using 6-mod Tier 15 maps.'

[distant tulip]

It’s not really about level but more gear and competence. If you’re done with the acts you should be able to do the third trial. If you are able to do high tier waystones you can probably do the fourth yourself in a few attempts.

You could try asking in #2┃looking-for-group for someone to carry you.

If you want tips on sekhemas or chaos trials if you say what content you are currently able to do, what build you are using, and which trial you want to do people can give advice

[distant tulip]

If you hover over the ##/40 it’ll tell you what you need to do to get your main atlas passives. The same with the individual atlas trees.

[heavy vault]

Oh that's cool, thanks!

[heavy vault]

I'm doing a blood magic black flame covenant ember fusillade build 🤣 just trying to put together whatever I could find that looks cool. But the trials suck so I'll probably check if anyone charges anything to carry 😅

[cosmic kindle]

question, do divs reroll +level modifiers as well?

[young dove]

Only rolls that have a range of stats get rerolled. If you hold alt it will show you if stats have that or not. Levels do not get rerolled with divs.

[cosmic kindle]

alright, thats good to know. thanks

[young dove]

Sanctify can reroll levels +-1 btw

[heavy vault]

Question, at what point do you start building temples and/or running abyss etc? I just finished a few maps and cleared one corrupted nexus and about to get to the second. Dunno how the temple building strategy works so I've just been avoiding them completely till now.

[feral sentinel]

To make the most out of Temple you have to really go at it as efficiently as possible, which is probably best done by watching video guides on it.

Personally, I find it tedious and not worth stressing over, so I'm fine not becoming rich in the game and doing other stuff that I enjoy even if it makes less currency

My go-to for currency was Logbook Expedition farming at first and then just focused on getting all my atlas points and learning different map mechanics, not to make currency, but to just learn about it and have more overall game knowledge

[heavy vault]

Yeah I tried to watch a few 😅 wasn't sure when people start zoning in on one endgame method to specialise so to speak 🤔

[heavy vault]

Yeah I don't much care for getting rich, more like get enough currency to be able to afford endgame gear and be able to clear those 🤣

[feral sentinel]

I'll copy and paste something from a previous comment I made about this

Learning how to craft gear (crafting in this game is more RNG than other games but still has specific strategy to help make the odds better and more profitable to do)

Playing maps tailored to farming abyss monsters and for valuable omen drops or maps tailored for Rituals for valuable Omens rewards.

And my personal go-to is buying expedition logbooks from the market and running the expedition maps to get as many splinters as possible to the sell those for Divines.

Money making isn't the end all be all of the game obviously, but many of us like this because of the loop of making your character better, earning more stuff, buying stuff with the currency you now have to make your character even better, and then earning again.

In the end, since the game is played in leagues, it's best to not get tunnel vision on one particular league and think of each league as away to learn, practice, and be even more ready when you play a new character in the next league.

Finally got to endgame and have zero clue on what to do i keep getting molly whopped lol im lvl60 druid

[loud crystal]

Okay so I'm new to poe/the genre. After a few hours of mapping I've realized you lose xp when you die lmao. Now I'm wondering the best approach to unfuck my build so I don't get one shot so often. I'm in the trading league but have not looked into how it works yet. Here's some of the stats and mats im workin with. Any advice on getting resistances up or other important survivability avenues? Or some resource to point me in the right direction

[feral sentinel]

Getting your resistences to 75% is priority. Chaos isn't as important but still, as close to 75 as you can get is good

[ornate marsh]

For sure, your resistanves are pretty low. You should reach the cap, which is 75%. For chaos res you can think later

Then you should work on your evasion as deadeye. So look for chests, helmet, gloves and boots which have high evasion

[loud crystal]

So like, how should I go about that? just alching/exalting a buncha stuff and prioritize high res gear?

[ornate marsh]

If you have enough currency you can buy from trade. For 1ex you xan get decent gear for start mapping

Otherwise yes, alch or essences is the way

Also, depending on your build, your other defensive layer is deflection which is based on % of your evasuon rating

[feral sentinel]

Energy shield and evasion super low too. I assume your gear is overdue for upgrades.

Giving you two guides. On for what to look for in gear, one for how to use trade market:

2. Trade Market Guide. Learn how to use the trade market effectively to get gear and other items from other players by trading stuff in game.

3. Gear guide. Learn what to look for in gear. (Note: Tiers for modifiers were reversed in a patch after this video. Tier 1 is best )

If you want my full list lmk

[ornate marsh]

Or you can also check vendors, somwtimes they have good stuff. Or also expedition npcs have good gear for gambling

[loud crystal]

bless 🙏
yeah the only new gear I've swapped since campaign is boots with a bit more movement speed

been running level 4--6 maps mostly

[heavy vault]

Sorry I got to this kinda late, but thanks for the whole write up! Also when you say playing maps tailored to abyss or rituals, that means using the tablets with them on maps? 🤔

[feral sentinel]

my pleasue. I dont know most classes in the game but did use Deadeye Ranger last leauge so in a nutshell:

Bows and quivers look for

• Level for projectile skills or attack skills
  High physical damage (elemental damage optional)
  Increased attack speed

Boots:
25% movement speed or higher

Rings: Elemental resistances (and chaos if possible)
adds _ damage to attacks
Leech phys damage as mana (if you run out of mana fast)

Amulet: Elemental resistances (and chaos if possible)
Spirit if you need it
Max life

Other gear in general:
Elemental resistances (and chaos if possible)
Max life

Remember to get all, or at least your most important skills, as high as level as you can with uncut skill gems. Max quality on those skills, Greater or Perfect Jewler orbs on those too.

This isn't a definitive list but stuff I can remember off the top of my head.

The trade market is great and you can get good stuff for just a few exalts and dont have to worry about more expensive stuff till you go much father into your character

[feral sentinel]

yes there are many guides on Youtube so look around if these dont click with you, but these are the ones that helped me:

https://youtu.be/-c7ykBa4ovw

https://youtu.be/QYX3SJtyuOs

https://youtu.be/wKVUMpmc-Qg

The prices change a lot because of inflation, especailly this leauge, but still profitable

[heavy vault]

Thanks for the resources! This is great stuff

[feral sentinel]

Always happy to help

[ornate marsh]

Guys, as a bloodmage doedre undoing CoC which stat is the priority to scale to have more dmg?

[fleet marten]

so if the wisps move to the mansion in the mists its just bricked now and impossible to do right

[rotund trench]

No, that means you have found all the wisps, but the node/path connecting to it needs completed.

[fleet marten]

i dont really see any connection

or im blind

[rotund trench]

It doesn't connect till you do it. Probably that boss one.

@fleet marten

[mighty mountain]

how does %increased recovery work with recoup effects? I know "regeneration" doesn't affect recoup, but RECOVERY does affect flasks, so I assume it affects recoup too, does that mean it's effectively a multiplier on recoup? or does it just make the recoup happen faster?

like if I have 15% increased mana recovery, and recoup 100 mana, will it do 115 mana over 8 seconds? or 100 mana over 7.x seconds?

[rotund trench]

Where do you see %increased recovery? Do you mean recovery rate?

[mighty mountain]

yeah, %increased recovery rate

[rotund trench]

Yeah, then I'd assume it works with recoup to shorten recovery time since recoup is a form of recovery. It definitely wouldn't increase the total amount. Just amount per second.

[mighty mountain]

do you have any sources? cause my assumption is that it would actually increase the total amount recouped (and that recovery rate increases the total amount healed via life flask as well)

[rotund trench]

from the wiki: 'The duration of recoup can be modified by certain passive nodes. Reducing the duration of recoup will not reduce the amount recovered, instead recovering the same amount over a shorter time.'

[mighty mountain]

okay sure but what implies that increased recovery rate will reduce the duration of recoup?

[rotund trench]

It only mentions passive nodes so I'm not sure. I'd assume it would be the same since it's a form of recovery, but that's all I can say..

[mighty mountain]

yeah, it'd be tricky to test

maybe someday I'll care enough to try 😄

[rotund trench]

Could probably test it in POB

[mighty mountain]

eh, POB2 I don't trust all that well

it's very barebones still

also idk how you'd test a single recoup hit amount

[rotund trench]

Set it up so you are getting plenty of recoup, and check your total recovery rate.

[mighty mountain]

huh? idk how that fixes anything. I already know recovery rate improves recoup rate (per sec)

its a question of does it ALSO reduce the duration or not

i dont think POB has those kinds of details

you can't "simulate a hit" either or anything

[rotund trench]

I think it estimates recoup based on the enemy settings in configs.

[mighty mountain]

hmm, interesting

i may look into

[rotund trench]

I just did a quick look and it doesn't look like it's estimating recoup amount. It just shows recoup % in calcs, based on your mods

It does show leech amount though, based on your estimated dps.

[distant tulip]

looks like it doesn't affect duration but instead amount

[rotund trench]

hmmm. ok then

[mighty mountain]

[cosmic kindle]

question, for temple building. why is building it in a snake the most optimal method?

[sweet wyvern]

i think it's because rooms in the middle of the snake can't be deleted

[junior hornet]

if you lock the snake head

basically it's to optimize locks and save your progress

[distant tulip]

This might be referring to the chronomancer node or pliable flesh. There are only two sources of "%increased life recovery rate" and two sources of modifiers to recoup duration on the tree that I could find so its a really niche interaction anyway. I assume PoB2 was implemented assuming PoE1 rules still apply Like other over-time recovery effects, modifiers to the player's overall recovery rate will scale recoup's recovery without lowering its duration

[rotund trench]

Possibly. So you are saying poe2 might work a bit differently?

[distant tulip]

There’s no indication that it should but it could for all I know. And there’s no indication that it was tested specifically in PoE2 on GitHub.

[loud crystal]

night n day difference. the trading was pretty simple and cheap! thx again

[feral sentinel]

Nice

[lilac linden]

Is it possible to see which skill points you're missing from campaign?

[robust ledge]

Best option is to look at the world map and check which zones have skulls and other symbols that haven't been crossed out yet

[tough jewel]

import your character into poe ninja and the website will show you. if you are open to 3rd party tools

[mighty mountain]

What is the "source" of the chaos explosion damage? like if you say use a fireball skill. And a dead enemy explodes. Does that explosion count as coming from fireball? Like if you have stuff in fireball that says "enemies hit by this skill blah blah blah", will that count? Or is the explosion almost like it's own skill gem?

I just dont always get how skill inheritance and damage sources are counted

[safe star]

what do i lock here? red, yellow or blue? i have only one lock

[tiny garnet]

https://sulozor.github.io/#/atziri-temple this can help predict but

as far as I understand it. you'd want to lock red, as anything else risks 2 disappearing?

[rotund trench]

With one lock, I'd lock the spy since it's harder to replace.

[drifting dirge]

as a new player, when you first access the Realmgate it should mention the Boss's level... fk I joined it at lvl 73 and it seems the boss is lvl 80 (-50 splinters)

[scenic torrent]

how do I unbrick this lol

[rotund trench]

Fastest way is probably farming architect to get rid of stuff faster. Or you could just rerun temple with only the single required placement.

[scenic torrent]

Architect?

[rotund trench]

The tile in upper right

It's good to farm him anyway since it drops medallion and crystal slots

[broken geyser]

Hello, is there an easier way to calculate what resistances I'll need on my gear when upgrading it, to keep all resistances capped out, other than doing it by hand? Every time I need to buy new gear it's a pain because it messes with all my resistances (cold, fire, lightning, chaos)

[zenith jay]

anyone done with the leauge down to give a newbie some currency to start off?

[rotund trench]

You can remove the gear you want to replace to see what you are lacking.

[minor sphinx]

Looking to spend time building my temple in endgame. My question is what happens when you build a temple like the complete ones others have created with only a couple spots open, after you fight the boss? Do they wipe again and you have to restart? Or some wipe?

[thick whale]

i have enough spirit on both werapon slots yet coc only works on weapon set 2, does anyone know why this is?

[rotund trench]

With a completed temple you don't fight the boss or the architect.

[rotund trench]

Possibly attribute requirements?

[thick whale]

i was an idiot and didnt have comet selected on both bars from the coc menu, thanks for the reply

[cosmic kindle]

question, is there a logbook map thats the best for farming splinters?

[heavy vault]

Question, since doing proper temple is quite complicated and takes long, how viable is just atziri farming?

I saw a video by misoxshiru (spelling?) of making a straight path to atziri and some organisation beside so the royal access chamber doesn't destabilise

[rotund trench]

I saw a video where I think they said frigid bluffs is best and lush isle worse, but might want to check video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKVUMpmc-Qg

[rotund trench]

I'd say it should be pretty good.

[cosmic kindle]

alright, thanks. I've been doing barren atoll

[rotund trench]

I think barren is ok too

[cosmic kindle]

been getting around 60 to 80 splinters per logbook

[rotund trench]

that video has a timestamp called 'the best location for farming' so easy to find.

[rotund trench]

sounds reasonable

[oblique stratus]

which one would you prefer for spin titan?

[icy shell]

If I failed to level up that spy master, will I be able later, or it's over?

[oblique stratus]

what is the fastest way to lvl 85 to 90? just doing 16s and hope for xp unique maps?

[icy shell]

some people offer leveling services too on unofficial channels. Like they open maps and you trail them

experience tablets with a ton of magic monsters is a great source too

[oblique stratus]

ty

[mighty mountain]

with inevitable critical, can it reduce your damage?

like lets say you had a crit chance of 1%, so it has to roll a billion times

will it just bring your hit damage down to a "bonus of 0%"? so still 100% regular hit damage?

or will it keep reducing your damage to lower than normal damage?

[sweet wyvern]

each '30% less crit damage bonus' is multiplicative with each reroll

[narrow vessel]

Hello I was wondering I know they changed evasion so we could evade all hits with spells and attacks but does that also affect monsters aswell? Like the increased evasion mod on way stones can monsters evade spells aswell now?

[sweet wyvern]

monsters can't evade spells

[narrow vessel]

K thanks

[tight orbit]

anyone care for any help?

[carmine ravine]

I'm following a build that takes mind over matter but also nodes that say % of Damage is Taken from Mana Before Life". Isn't this redudant due to the mind over matter passive? What am i missing?

[novel crow]

yes it's redundant, perhaps they have multiple effects, or are simply a path to somewhere else - or - it's a shit guide

or it could just be a levelling path you then drop those nodes after taking mom?

[sly swallow]

use another level of that support gem so it doesnt reduce crit damage

[sly swallow]

for gold and experience there is only temple, everything else is much less optimal
you dont have to pay for leveling, you can farm 50d per hour just leveling in temples

[sly swallow]

not viable as far as I know

[safe star]

if i russian tech here is that a loop since architect will connect to a garrison?

[raw fox]

what to lock here?

[untold bluff]

2x smithy + golem works in the corner

[lunar granite]

hey, I just got a fracturing orb, and by a coincidence saw that I could get 30 Divine Orbs for it on the market. why is this so expensive? I sold it obviously, but I don't need that kind of money now (lvl 77), I want to maybe invest it in something that keeps its value the best from here on until the end of the season. Should I keep my 30 Divine Orbs, or trade it for something else until using it?

[rustic panther]

Does Increased Quantity of Items found in Excavated Chest affect splinter drops?

[lunar granite]

Or maybe its better for me to use the money do gear up, and just start doing tier 15 maps now?

[rotund trench]

I would prioritize making your build better. That's something you should pretty much always be looking to do.

[foggy quartz]

any reason i cant equip this bow??

[median escarp]

the stronger runes now have a limit of 1 across your entire character

[foggy quartz]

i see

yeah i have two of the additional arrow on both bows

thank you!

[drifting bane]

Is there a lock set up i can do to save this and potentially remove the generator?

[warm plume]

is my game bugged or ggg removed the counter from delirium ?

[hardy token]

Can you unlock delwyn as a hideout npc by chance? I like the spirit stuff a lot and juts met him in a random map. He has some dialogue but thats it so far.

[idle hazel]

I don't believe you can, no. He doesn't really serve any purpose outside of the dialogue.

[hardy token]

darn, thanks! I really hope i can replace these val folks at some point, they unsettle me

[idle hazel]

Considering that those NPCs currently originate from the Interludes, and they won't be present once Act 5 is added, it's possible we'll get others to fill in their roles by 1.0.

[rotund trench]

oops, I think the best you can hope for is sacrificial chamber and rebuild.

once it deletes something in the middle, you can lock the two resulting ends.

[drifting bane]

Ahh ok got it 😓. I fell victim to placing a medallion with no preview

[rotund trench]

The Bear's Furious Slam says it can spend rage to enrage which creates jagged ground. The jagged ground itself lasts 4 seconds, but it doesn't say anything about enraged having a cooldown; it just needs 10 rage to occur. However there seems to be a 4 second cooldown for the jagged ground to appear again, even if in a different area. Even when it doesn't create jagged ground I can see my rage deplete when I slam. Does this mean I'm still getting the damage benefits of enraged every time, but just not the jagged ground, or am I only getting the damage boost every 4 seconds also?

EDIT: Actually, what I was assuming was jagged ground seems to be coming from First of War (ancestral boost), not enraged.

[idle hazel]

Fist of War adds a teal crystalline effect when triggered, so if that's what you were seeing, then it was indeed that.

To my knowledge, if it consumes Rage, it should be doing the Enraged effect.

[south meteor]

hello, how do people join before the last boss in the trial of sekema?

[rotund trench]

I think they just get invited by the mapper and join in the room before the boss.

[south meteor]

its that simple?

[rotund trench]

I think so.

but if their HP is too low and mapper lost too much honour they may die.

[south meteor]

kk thank you

[sharp ingot]

Is there any kind of defense verses the abyss monsters??

Or do I just need to make sure I stay moving?

[rotund trench]

I don't think there is too much especially different with them. As you improve your build they will get easier.

[turbid storm]

is armour break consider a non-damaging ailment?

[distant tulip]

No. There is a list on this page https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Ailment

[turbid storm]

that's too bad then

[mystic valve]

why dont you really see any ritualist builds?

is the ascendency just bad?

an nextra ring slot seems decent

[warm plume]

usually only used for aurabots

ingenuity with the rings that can give like 100% rarity each

[distant tulip]

The extra ring works best at high investment so it’s less powerful to league start as a ritualist. Most guides are for league starters

[balmy atlas]

Hello. I've noticed taht alot of comet builds use the doedres undoing tech.. but I just cant get it to work xD Anyone have a clip or video or something that explains how to get it working? Thanks.

[mighty mountain]

help me understand what I'm doing wrong.... elemental invocation has max energy of 1080, it says it uses 10 energy per 0.1 base cast time. So that should use 200 energy per comet, meaning I should get 5 comets at max energy, but I dont, I only get 3, what gives?

[distant tulip]

Can you screenshot the skill tooltip? How did you get 1080 energy?

Do you have anything that reduces your cast speed?

[heavy bane]

fubgun explains it in the vdeo

[halcyon girder]

someone available for helping with sehkemas please ?

[heavy bane]

yees send ign

[sly swallow]

circle around them

[mighty mountain]

The +80% max energy support.

I figured it out after some googling. APPARENTLY, skills that have "+X seconds to total cast time" count that as double for the purposes of energy from "cast on" type things.

So comet counts as 300 energy, not 200, sadly.

So to get 4 comets I'd need 1200 energy somehow

[noble grail]

can chaotic rarity and chaotic monsters be used together?

[mighty mountain]

does both the projectile AND the explosion deal damage to the targeted enemy?

trying to decide of the "less area + more damage" support is going to help with this killing bosses or not

cause it only affects the explosion damage, not the projectile damage

[sweet wyvern]

if there's no damage numbers under the 'projectile' section, then i assume the proj don't deal damage

[exotic wing]

I am running out of divines running trialmaster having made not a single divine of profit

What can I even do now

[shell olive]

can someone help me understand why i cant place the spymaster room in the top corner between the garrisons? i've followed the russian tech logic to proceed
on the simulator i can place the spymaster but not on poe :/
https://sulozor.github.io/#/atziri-temple?t=ASEAAAAAAAAAAEgiAAAAAAAAACIwAAB4AAAAAEgiAAAIeACYACEAADoIESkAAEgAAGEIABEqESEAACgIACkRKkgAAEIIOmApESIxOmEIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAQ

[rotund trench]

If you put an armoury to the right of that top spy-garrison, then a garrison on top row, then spy should go there. @shell olive

[rotund trench]

after, you can see what it does in the calcs tab

[dull prairie]

Can i move my architect here, or i'm screwed ?

[exotic wing]

Welp, that was the last of my 100 divines gone

Are there any cheaper farming options

[rotund trench]

You could try citadels.

There may be things different in the configs. If fubgun has a pob for it, crosscheck your configs.

[exotic wing]

I haven't beaten arbiter of ash yet, all I can get from citadels are lower tier fragments

I don't even know where to go to get to the burning monolith

[tawny escarp]

its this thing, its close to where you start mapping

[heavy vault]

Is there a node on the passive tree that gives you energy shield or something based on your intelligence stat?

Basically after I have enough stats to wear my gear, is there some form of extra stat I can get from intelligence that I have to get on my way to other nodes?

[exotic wing]

Thank you.

[young dove]

I think the closest thing would be black scythe training keystone from timeless jewels. That one converts str to es.

[sly swallow]

hahah fubgun has the worst comet build, it has no damage and no survivability, it's just fast, why would you copy his build of all builds? I would just replace all of the items except headhunter and helmet, also don't go all around the tree collecting jewel sockets, it makes absolutely no sense without adorned or life mana stacking

[sly swallow]

sure, my build wasnt stacking mana, only a couple thousand divines https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/17f59

this is a couple mirrors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnIfNYKpgNM

so those are 2 variations, either you stack mana or you dont

stacking mana works thanks to archmage and rathpit and that spell damage mana notable

but you have to spend enough money to not end up a glass cannon

stacking mana is more damage overall, but less tankiness

read her video description

it's really funny, if you compare her and fubgun's POB you will see like a 10x damage difference

"fubgun, the great build crafter"

[sly swallow]

what? you cast either elemental weakness or spark

which build? you can find your own balance between damage and survivability

to have a build as good as another build you need to buy similar items

[viral stratus]

Adorned usually isn't a critical component for making builds function. If you have solid rare jewels or other strong unique jewels, it'll be fairly competitive

[sly swallow]

your jewels are great, but you waste skill points by collecting so many jewel sockets

[remote lion]

damn this is annoying

where tf are they

im like playing wheres waldo

[exotic crater]

for some reason I cant allocate the atlas skill, do I have to do smth else?

[idle hazel]

You don't appear to have any points unlocked, have you completed any Corrupted Nexuses and used the quest item that you get afterwards?

Or did you get a book for one of the other leagues? The other trees have separate points from the central one.

[exotic crater]

ohh, I was trying some of the other ones but not the one to the left

it was for the breach thingie, ty

[timid harbor]

I’ve been playing since the initial release over a year ago. I finally have gotten a character up to >level 90 and finally got a fourth ascendancy. I’m working through the various bosses, but I still never have found a citadel to do the burning monolith.

What do I need to do to be able to try fight the arbiter?

[rotund trench]

Search the atlas for citadels.

Just pick a direction and keep going. You'll find them.

[timid harbor]

What do they look like? Perhaps I’m just bypassing them and not realizing it…?

[idle hazel]

They have big glowing beams emanating from the node, and a special biome around them.

In the fog and outside for the Copper Citadel, for instance.

[timid harbor]

Thanks for the graphic - I’ve never seen that in-game 🤷‍♂️

[rotund trench]

You can speed up your searches by using the grand project unique tablets on towers.

[timid harbor]

Thank you

[exotic crater]

to double corrupt, do I 1st corrupt an item and then corrupt it with the lvl 3 corruption room, or does the room itself do a double corrupt?

[rotund trench]

You are probably refering to Architect's Orb. That just corrupts an already corrupted item once.

You can just take the orb in the temple. You don't need to use it there.

Probably best to use it when you have a good target or sell it.

Just a guess, but is there enough attributes for the comet?

Even on weapon set 2?

[viral stratus]

I've gotten glitched gems. I don't know the exact trick to restore function, but it revolves around weapon swap

Try different things like another weapon, putting old weapon back. Making sure weapon swap selected is correct. It's odd, hopefully you got it

Yeah, it's like a false uncheck/check thing

What you're seeing, isn't accurate, got glitched. So it's hard to detect what is correct

[warped tapir]

sorry for the prob obvious question, I copied on POEninja a build that uses Spellslinger to cast Comet

dumb question: Am I required to press the Spellslinger spell for it to cast?

[rotund trench]

Seems so. It's an Invocation skill. See https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Invocation

[viral stratus]

Yes, it saves the charged up spell. Must actively push a button to cast. Put it on hotbar, you'll see it charge up

[earnest night]

Hey I’m a noob should I just be rushing all the corrupted zones on maps until I get all my atlas points? Then start juicing and putting tablets in?

[rotund trench]

Pretty much.

[steel veldt]

does this look healthy for mapping

Smile

[hardy token]

noob here tryign to understand the economy. Are people just trading in divines this league? I thought it was normally exalts, i only have like two divines so not sure whats goin on with that.

[sweet wyvern]

more valuable items will be traded in divines

[hardy token]

is there a primary way people are getting all these divs? seems inflated comapared to last league but i didnt play much

[analog gulch]

The atziri temple snake path is a bit hard to make. The rooms I get don’t even connect at the right bottom hand side to get the snake path started. Is there a trick to forcing a room to take the path. I am still in interlude so I don’t know if I am locked out from certain rooms until endgame.

Fyi am a complete newb to this game hence the question

[jaunty vine]

where to grind valuable currency in standard league?

[slate trellis]

Does anyone have an Idea why this is not working ? - The belt is "green" (without the "You cannot use this item" message as long as i have it in my inventory. As soon as i place it in the belt slot it turns "red" and i get this message ?

[viral stratus]

High tier socket item, can only use 1

Looks like you used x2 of that idol

[slate trellis]

yeah 2 ralakes in the belt, but i use 2 Tacati (chaos resist) in my shield and those work

[viral stratus]

Tacati isn't a high tier

[slate trellis]

ohh thanks, so this thing is basically bricked and unusable..

[sweet wyvern]

can't you just replace it?

one of the runes?

[slate trellis]

i think you can not remove / replace runes - at least iam not aware of a way

[sweet wyvern]

you've been able to since I think last league

oh, since 0.1.1

[slate trellis]

oh nice - worked, just overwrite it 🙂 - thanks

[heavy vault]

Hi, just made it to level 80 for the first time with a blackflame covenant Ember fusillade blood mage. I bought from trade these 3 items as upgrades (which i think will be my last upgrades for a long time, i assume the next set of upgrades will cost tens or hundreds of divs rather than the 2 div and 100 exalts I spent on these three).

My question is what do I socket into the staff and vertex? Im thinking +1 to all skills and +30% spell damage rune in the staff? But I have no idea what to put in the vertex. My res are all capped except chaos at like 30-40%

Poe.ninja link if it helps: https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Thiefwatcher-1750/character/Engokuu

[viral stratus]

25% extra projectile can be a solid staff choice too.

for helmet, could do something like increased exposure or cost efficiency if those things matter to you

[heavy vault]

Right I saw there was a rune for that too. How does that work? Is it a combined higher chance for the 2 projectiles or fixed chance for two and another two, so 4 projectiles?

[heavy vault]

I feel like right now my healing is enough and I only die when I get surrounded or lag spikes. But then again the highest map tier I tried was 9

[viral stratus]

hard to count, but it would be increased chance at 2 proj

4 proj would read differently

if you have no helmet options you really like, could just do added life or mana if you're stacking mana

chaos res is always nice too, never hurts

[heavy vault]

Ah in that case I have a lot of added chance for 2 projectiles from the passive tree too 🤔

Then maybe gain 5% of damage as damage of all elements could be good too. So either that or 30% spell damage for the second staff slot?

[heavy vault]

I have no mana, using blood magic on the tree. I was planning to use rathpith focus earlier so I was stacking life but I saw that it was a slight downgrade on my current setup.

[exotic wing]

Can whirling assault deal critical hits? I don't see a crit line in the stat breakdown

[lusty agate]

my temple is monsters lvl 81. how to increase it?

[calm sundial]

hey so after i finish the interlude, does getting skill/support gems become substantially easier?

bc im trying to switch builds atm and not having enough gems is really annoyting

[novel crow]

they drop more frequently but it can take a while, the easiest way is to farm enough currency to buy uncut support as they're pretty cheap

[warped tapir]

that's standard, i dont think it goes higher than 81 even with fully completed temple

[hardy token]

Does the fire conversion from ancestral cry apply after the bonuses you get from your passives tree? like i have a few "increased physical damage" nodes and wondering if its going to waste basically.

[tribal inlet]

hey guys, does anyone know if I need to lock this smithy still or just the lab?

[rotund trench]

In general, if a tile is locked, nothing in the path leading to it can be deleted unless there are multiple possible paths to it.

[turbid storm]

is this worth to be scalling more?

[rotund trench]

Doesn't hurt. max is 90%.

[turbid storm]

alright thanks exile

[mossy cradle]

How many divs do people take nowadays for a 3rd and 4th ascendancy full carry?

[feral sentinel]

15-20 Divines in TFT discord. Some ppl here offer for free occasionally

[novel crow]

here for free

in #2┃looking-for-group

[chrome swan]

Is there a way to see my characters gear and stats online? Well on my phone

[novel crow]

if you link your character to poe.ninja

in poe1 you can show it in your profile, but that's not available for poe2 yet

so ninja's the only way for now, it updates data from your profile every few hours

[sly swallow]

dont use bloodmagic unless you stack mana

[heavy vault]

Hold on I'm missing something, why do I need mana if I use bloodmagic? It sets my mana to 0 and I don't see anything there that converts mana to life 🤔

[sly swallow]

fuck, my bad lmao, then never take bloodmagic, not worth the points

its just if you were stacking mana or using adorned then it would be fine to go and collect all the jewel sockets

[heavy vault]

Adorned, what's that? 😅

And this build is what I put together from a number of ember fusillade builds I saw on ninja, most of them seemed to use bloodmagic. I thought I saw somewhere that there might be some mana issues without it?

[heavy vault]

Is the reason you're saying that because I have to branch off to the left because of it?

Because I am getting crit chance nodes on that side and right now I'm not sure what else to get. Because I got all the chance to add 2 projectile nodes, meta gem energy nodes and most crit chance nodes that are close by except one that I'll get next level.

So not sure what else to get now, maybe some ES nodes and defensives?

[sly swallow]

the amount of skill points you are wasting to get bloodmagic is outweighed by the atalui support

you want to have for example 2,5% more damage on average when you spend a skill point

atalui and lifetap if you dont have money, atziri chest and passives to convert mana cost to life cost if you have a bit of money

[heavy vault]

Okay I have to go check what those 3 do, don't know two of those and atziri chest is expensive right? 🤣 I have 1 div to my name, so gonna have to farm quite a bit before that becomes an option

[heavy vault]

Okay so atalui and lifetap do the same thing except atalui gains 2% damage per 100 life spent?

Okay on ninja I see the highest damage bloodmage builds are using mind over matter and eldritch battery 🤔 so you convert es to mana, a portion of mana also gets taken before life. So mana and health are your only defence. And mana cost is doubled, so life cost is doubled and that means more damage from atalui. Does that make sense to you?

It's a bit weird, all the highest DPS builds are using rathpith focus and going for spark arc and Coc comet.

But the builds I see for ember fusillade tend to use an unleash staff and blood magic 🤔

[sly swallow]

I saw the unleash tech, idk how good it is, follow Conner https://pobb.in/tmLBr5jtHfb6

I doubt keystones double your life cost

the highest damage is achieved through mana stacking, but archmage doesnt work with channelled spells

[heavy vault]

Who's that? 🤔

[sly swallow]

one of the main build creators

[heavy vault]

Ember fusillade isn't a channeling spell 🤔 that's why rathpith works with it

[sly swallow]

ohh now I also learned smth new

[heavy vault]

From ninja: https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/character/FURYONKILL-3475/VVVVAL?i=0&search=class%3DBlood%2BMage%26skills%3DComet%252CEmber%2BFusillade%26sort%3Ddps

This I guess is what the highest DPS builds are doing that use ember fusillade. Most go into comet I guess like everyone else. But they're using atziri chest, eldritch battery and mind over matter 🤔 so I guess kinda double dipping into life and mana. Instead of bloodmagic for just life use. Very expensive but I guess once I have farmed a bit. For now I'll leave it as is and work towards this 🤔

Though they use a duelling wand and rathpith.

When I swapped in a rathpith for my current focus my DPS went down though. Maybe because I haven't stacked enough life? 🤔

[viral stratus]

Fusillade isn't meta. You can make an effective build, kills bosses and stuff but if you're trying to compare it to meta you'll be disappointed

[heavy vault]

Oh no, I'm not looking for meta here. I played plant druid, very easy time getting through the campaign and then got bored right when I reached maps.

I'm playing this build because ember fusillade with Blackflame Covenant looks amazing! And I'm liking figuring out the build and putting ideas from other builds on ninja into one 🤣

But I am looking to optimise the build as much as possible so I can try to kill all the stuff in the game that I can.

Like my goal would be to get to and kill the Uber bosses with this I guess 🤔

[viral stratus]

The fusillade builds I've seen go for reduced duration, not sure what your plans are

Well made builds can do it, seems like you have enough currency to get the nice supports.

[heavy vault]

I picked up all the reduced duration nodes on the tree already and I picked meta gem energy nodes for living bomb on coc 🤔

By nice supports you mean the endgame support gems? I just dropped my first one yesterday so haven't seen many of them. And I don't have much currency right now. I got like 4 divs dropped total and spent 3 of those on the build so far 🤣

[viral stratus]

Oh, I looked at that one build and thought it was yours

If you're BM, may need to use reduced duration supports. If your focus is fusillade main skill

I recently made a titan calamity build, uses the unique staff but functions very similar to fusillade

[heavy vault]

Ah no, that's just one I saw on ninja to see what people are doing at endgame 😅

This is mine: https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Thiefwatcher-1750/character/Engokuu

[heavy vault]

Oh do you have a ninja link? I'd be interested in doing a titan build sometime later

[heavy vault]

You mean lineage support gems? Have to check if I can afford those 🤣 do you happen to remember the name?

[viral stratus]

Not at home, can't link anything

But you could probably search for titan calamity build, i copied theirs

[heavy vault]

Gotcha, I'll check it out!

[viral stratus]

Expensive lineage are over 200 div each

[heavy vault]

Ooof, yeah then probably gotta wait a long while 🤣

[viral stratus]

A few are 20-40 range

[tribal inlet]

can anyone help me, I don't understand why I can't place a smithy next to the armoury

[marsh agate]

becouse fubgun cant stop making mistakes in his temple.
https://imgur.com/1eOgu1Y

[tribal inlet]

Ooo so I have to let that other smithy get destabilized first?

[marsh agate]

yes, that smithy is blocking the other smithy. the image is the correct setup

[tribal inlet]

Goddamn, what should I lock in my situation?

[marsh agate]

armory and golem besides smithy

let that smithy destabilize

[tribal inlet]

These 2 right?

[marsh agate]

yes

[tribal inlet]

Ty sir

[marsh agate]

be careful he will make more mistakes. read the pinned comment

[tribal inlet]

oki ty

[dull prairie]

Can i move my architect here, or i'm screwed ?

[graceful oracle]

Just double checking: If I run lower level maps to grab Vaal Temple Crystals, does it give you the same power of the tile draws that you get after you gather 6? Like yeah, I know that lower maps don't get you good loot, but can you just spam low level ones and still get the same results?

[soft gale]

hey what does this mean?

i just get oneshot lol

[idle hazel]

That you're asking in a PoE2 channel when you should be looking in https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/405874785038368818

[hardy token]

So im new to mapping. Can you not rerun the same map? I kinda find the idea of perpetually scrolling through a map kinda nuts if im trying to farm.

When i say map i mean the actual ui not the waystones

[heavy vault]

I just saw you can trigger multiple skills in coc. So if I put living bomb and fireball together I could get some extra aoe for my ember fusillade build? 🤔

[deep hornet]

Derelict mansion failed and i cannot restart it anymore

Wat do?

And Just how many devs are really working on PoE2? It's weird that this is the second game breaking bug that i encountered and im beginning to think I bet on the wrong horse supporting this busted game the devs dont even care to fix

[hardy token]

I can choose between the ancient infuser or a random rune. Im not very experienced with mapping are those good?

What does the snake thing give you loot wise?

[carmine ravine]

I killed him but the map isnt completed and I cant find anything to do. What should I do next?

Looks like the quest still completed so its fine 🙂

[broken geyser]

Guys, I am following this build, how does he get those 7 upper nodes that are not connected to his tree?

[feral sentinel]

With a type of jewel called "From Nothing"

I got mine from trade market

https://game8.co/games/Path-of-Exile-2/archives/493113

Check to see if the build shows the jewels used so you know exactly which one you need

[broken geyser]

Thanks! AFAIK the build doesn't show them 🙁

[heavy vault]

Since coc can cast two skills together that are socketed in it, if I put living bomb and comet, will I get the fire infusion for comet from the living bomb?

I guess not immediately but maybe the next comet can get infusion from the previous living bomb? Does that sound like something that would be kinda consistent or not? Considering replacing fireball with comet

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Thiefwatcher-1750/character/Engokuu

[feral sentinel]

Actually I checked and the jewel I thought it would be did not have a big enough radius to reach :O

[broken geyser]

Yes, I couldn't find any either
