Hi does the packed with energy atlas node work on minion?

[distant verge]

Hi everyone! Got a question. What happens if I put despair inside blasphemy and then use the expense support gem? Would it give despair a cooldown even tho it's an aura now?

[distant verge]

Expanse, sorry*

[past horizon]

"Skill that you use yourself" means that this isn't going to work, I think.

The game doesn't even let you try 😄

[copper raft]

Aura from blasphemy doesn't qualify as a skill you use yourself. Let alone skill you can use.

[distant verge]

Oooh I see. Thank you!

Another question. Does this "of damage as extra lightning" convert with original sin? And does it happen before or after convertion?

[stuck sleet]

Is it normal to have barely any support gems? i just finished the campaign and i think ive gotten like 15?

[frigid hearth]

there a few guaranteed gems here and there, but random support loots can largely vary from a campaign to another

[sand steeple]

Hi ! i failed my first corrupted node and traveled a lot into my maps, i cant find another one. Do i have to go further ? or im doomed ?

[frigid hearth]

yeah you have to keep going, it's a bit painful but you'll find one eventually

it's also sometimes possible to distinguish corruption from towers in the fog

[sand steeple]

Ok thanks, at least i can progress. I tought that i wouldn't find any corrupt node now

[runic thicket]

is there any tool or other way of price checking timeless jewels?

[undone pagoda]

exiled exchange is popular

[runic thicket]

thanks ill check it out

[random wedge]

If I activate a tower without Grand Project Tablet, but haven't entered the map yet, is there anyway to correct that mistake (like reactivating that tower)??? Or i am just shot out of luck...

[novel crow]

no

you're outta luck

[copper raft]

No. Original sin converts only flat damage from weapon and gear modifiers. This modifier is also a conversion type.

[strange vortex]

Hello. I have a very technical math question for you regarding plant build (but phys spells in general). Regarding "Cut to the bone" and "Impale chance". So the question is: 30% chance to impale on hit. Impale is a 30% repeat damage - assuming armor is broken (Cut to the bone will practically do this). This means these two small passive nodes are a 30% x 30% MORE damage ? Added with 20% impale magnitude from CTTB, thats a 10.8% MORE damage just from grabbing those two small nodes if you already have CTTB from top route armorbreak nodes.
But this is reliant on assuming that entangle and its sustained vine damage count as hits, as well as thrashing vines, and accelerated growth explosions. Are they hits? It is also reliant on assuming we have living lightning in thunderstorm to proc these impales as it requires "attack hits" to proc impale. So the question is, I suppose, does it actually work like that (10% more damage)? (Thx for reading my ted talk)

[hazy roost]

yes that would work, but its not exactly 10% more dmg, since you cannot actually reliably extract the impales fast enough with the living lightning. Also dont forget this only works on the phys dmg portion of entangle, modifiers such as "gain as extra" lightning etc. wont go into the impale magnitude, wich is a big scaler for spell builds. Overall the impale would be closer to 3-4% more dmg, not the full 10%, wich is not really worth the points spend

but you can definitly mess around with this if you want to

[native bridge]

Hey guys, I'm doing an ssf character , just got to maps. How does one get abyss tablets?
Completely forgot.

[past horizon]

They are only dropped by Abyss monsters, there's no other option than to hope for Abyss on the map.

[unique cradle]

1 or 2 scarabs of abundance if I want to farm corpses in SSF?

[novel crow]

well a good start is to not try using them in poe2

[unique cradle]

Heeeeeeeee. Didn't notice it was in poe2 category.

[novel crow]

[livid merlin]

how does rounding work in poe2? does it just round off?

[novel crow]

[hollow sparrow]

Really slow and bad.

[mental phoenix]

When I am league starting, and begin mapping, should I be clearing each waystone almost completely for loot/more waystones? Or should I be rushing each map boss and completing them quickly in order to get higher and higher waystones until closer to lvl 15? I find my mapping progress tends to go so slow, likely because I clear each map fully.

On that note, should I also be running all waystones from lvl 1 as rare quality or just run them blue to progress? Should I be using all the precursors as well or saving them for higher tier maps?

[quartz cradle]

3 mods on a waystone lets you run 2 tablets and still have a few portals in case you die. It's a good balance between hurrying across the atlas and farming actual t15 maps

Otherwise definitely just throw a transmute on them so that you can at least irradiate the map for +1 monster level

[mental phoenix]

I'd rather get to 14-15 early, but I think I always feel worried I'm missing out on waystone drops to sustain the process if I don't full clear

[quartz cradle]

That's a balance you have to keep yourself then it sounds like you're aware of the trade-off

a few things combine to make map sustain very easy

[mental phoenix]

is there any benefit to using the higher tier transmute orbs etc. or just stick with the base level as its all the same result?

[quartz cradle]

Certain boss allows rare tablets, meaning more quant and waystone chance

Earning atlas points allows more quant and again waystone chance

[quartz cradle]

No point, use cheapest/most available

[mental phoenix]

I suppose the vendor does sell waystones of your current max level doesn't he

[quartz cradle]

Yurt

Pathing to waystone nodes on atlas + buying in hideout should be fine

If you're trade you can just farm gold and buy everything but that's prob less fun

[mental phoenix]

ya I'm largely trying to understand how to progress the game from a more ssf perspective, in particular league start

[cerulean shadow]

can i switch my ascendancy?

[sweet wyvern]

yes. you need to run the trial that would give you your current amount of points

[past depot]

How do i get t16 maps? I'm running t15s no problem and can't combine 3x t15 to make a t16

is it just rng to get a maplvl+1 drop from the map boss? Or any way to increase likelihood of t16 drops? Irradiated tablets?

wow chatgpt says the only way to get t16 maps is to corrupt t15?

[sweet wyvern]

that's correct

[past depot]

thanks!

why is this heavy belt highlighted like crazy?

running regular neversink filter

just wondering why a regular white belt with mediocre rolls would be highlighted like its super valuable. is this a good crafting base?

[quartz cradle]

Orb of chance it's like 1 in 200 ish to get a Headhunter

This league headhunters are much more common thanks to temple so it's not as big of a find

[past depot]

[random wedge]

From my remove only merchant currency tab, I can remove all currency of the same type with my mouse using Ctrl-Right Click, the same shortcut I use to transfer all currency from my local/personal inventory to my Stash. The Controller shortcut for such all currency transfer between local/personal Inventory to Stash is 'Hold-Y' button (PC - using Xbox controller), but the same shortcut 'Hold-Y' button does nothing in terms of transferring all currency of same type from the remove only merchant currency tab. So, when using controller, I have to transfer each stack of 20 one at a time from the remove only merchant currency tab to my local/personal inventory. Does anyone know if there is another (special) shortcut that I am unaware of that works on remove only merchant currency tab when using Controller.

[drifting dirge]

Hello, are there normal / white jewels in PoE2? I was wondering if you could upgrade a normal jewel to unique using Orb of Chance

[quartz cradle]

Magic and rare only (and uniques)

[undone pawn]

how do i get abyssla lich? ive heard 4 different explanations from redidt, also after unlocking it do my other characters get it from trials?

[quartz cradle]

You must be the one to open a kulemak fight, and no other characters will get the ascension besides the one you open with

You can get carried by someone, but again you have to be the one to use the Invitation

[undone pawn]

do i unlock all points at once or do i need to do it multiple times?

[quartz cradle]

You are unlocking access to those nodes, you are not actually earning any points to spend

You must complete regular sekhemas or chaos trials at any point before or after becoming an abyssal lich

[crimson quarry]

Is there any one who would be able to carry me through 4th ascendancy im willing to pay 50 div but i have been absolutely walled by it User name is SoupOrSacrelige#3559

[quartz cradle]

Spend 1 div on some relics and you can do it yourself in 15-25 minutes

75% honour resistance, some max honour, and you're good

If the issue is dying then don't use max honour, use max life or max defence. It's pretty op I've gone from 8k es to 30k, 3k life to 4.5k

[crimson quarry]

Thx for the advice got it done on my second try

[reef ledge]

just got back into the league after ~4 months, what do i do in this room in vaal temple?

i can't leave it, theres no enemies in it either

[quartz cradle]

If you're in a temple room and you've triple checked for sneaky mobs hiding in corners... Just portal out and re enter your temple, the door should still be open assuming you don't log out or hit Close Temple

Usually you kill a rare mob in the upgraded version of this room. Killing said mob brings this large mob out to fight as well, then you can hop in yourself and mess with your limbs

[reef ledge]

thank u for help was able to fix it like u said

[random wedge]

Could someone please clarify 'Level Downscaling' for me. That is, if I have Level Downscaling turned on, and I am running a temple (as party leader - owner of temple) with other leeching members, does this setting (Level Downscaling) have any impact on my character??

[reef ledge]

it does

level downscaling brings u down to whatever the lowest is

if u have it off then they get an XP penalty but u receive no debuff

[vivid linden]

My main jalapenos chain is locked. Is it safe to kill the Architect? Or nah?
For now I seem to sustain 1 lock. I'm in SSF so ideally I'd like to keep fighting Atziri.

[quartz cradle]

You'll likely lose the entire left chain and/or that center cluster. If it ain't locked, be prepared to lose it

Sulo temple tool has a destabilize predictor, any serious temple player should be using that website to learn and plot their temple

[hot quiver]

Hey guys, how’s it going?

Could you clear up a question for me, please? If I want the Abyss league mechanic to appear, does using an Irradiated tablet or an Empower Boss tablet reduce the chance of Abyss spawning? Or do those two not count as league mechanics, meaning they don’t interfere with or limit Abyss from appearing?

[sly swallow]

the maps already have abyss or they dont regardless of your non abyss tablets

[red jetty]

so i just got to endgame and doing T2 maps, my resistances are not capped (40-60% ele, 15% chaos). how long is this sustainable. using a pretty good plant druid build

[raw moat]

Hey guys, i made a new character and never built the temple and only leeched others temple, now I'm level 90+ and i can't access my own temple

[quartz cradle]

The effective difference between zero cold resist and 50% is the SAME as going from 66% to 75% resist

How long can you sustain not being at cap? Maps are balanced around this cap. The moment you run a map with an additional scary mod you are surely going to take thousands of damage at once

Recommend "crimsoncasts" on YouTube he just put out a video on resistances

Chaos res can probably stay at 15 lol I'd be nervous in HC but there isnt much chaos normally. Monsters can have added chaos at any time so that's a concern

The more annoyed you get with volatile plants the more you should seek out chaos res. A good amethyst ring with a chaos res roll off trade would be something to search

[sly swallow]

yeah ele res capped is the highest priority after high damage

[red jetty]

finding it a bit hard to cap resistances, trying to stick to 1 exalt per gear item since i’m just starting endgame. is it usually harder to get cheap items at the end of league?

[quartz cradle]

What's your worst item and I'll shoot you an example trade link, it shouldn't be a problem if you have instant trade (and you're in maps so you have instant)

Spoiler it'll just be a weighted sum of resistances and a certain amount of required defence and/or life

For a body armour I'd just bring the es down to like 500 and put 80+ resistance, start there and adjust

[quartz cradle]

Also if you path to corruption zones to progress your atlas per doryani, you will naturally end up cleansing zones. If a map gets occupied by an Immured Fury and you full clear said map, you'll find a mob that drops a fracturing orb GUARANTEED. They are 54d by Poeninja economy page...

[sly swallow]

no, there are lots of cheap items

the secret is in ignoring damage completely because you don't need it to leech temples

[quartz cradle]

Stop with the temple leeching lmao

Surely the number of people that would rather play the game themselves is more than the number that would want to skip from level 65 to 95

[sly swallow]

I mean, I bet most people would totally leech temple if they know what it is

to ignore something so broken makes no sense to me

[quartz cradle]

Wild take

When the context is new player advice

Anyone willing to skip early map progression on their very first character is probably the type to bring out their wallet and Skip campaign in the first place. Hard disagree all around

[loud seal]

why cant i insert more rooms?

[peak wren]

Does disenchanting a specter remove the number of sockets unlocked?

[quartz cradle]

Retains quality, sockets, and corruption 🙂

[quartz cradle]

Hover a placed room and hold alt, you'll see the rooms it can attach

[loud seal]

i think none of the rooms can attach

i think im cooked

[quartz cradle]

In-game also has an information panel you can find the I symbol

[quartz cradle]

In this scenario, all you have to do is open and close the temple to destabilize it a few times

Whether you actually run it each time or not is up to you, normally you want to run it so you get more medallions

[loud seal]

So i need to do one of those crystal farms?

[quartz cradle]

Low investment is you put 2 tablets with a t15 waystone and bum rush the abyss

Do it in zones with grand project tablet effect already in place so you DON'T have to complete maps if you don't want to

Higher investment is t15 with 3 tablets instead, not really that much higher lol

[loud seal]

WHy does the game have to be so confusing once you are "end game"

[quartz cradle]

I overcomplicated it.

1. Complete a single tower using a Grand Project precursor tablet
2. Pick maps around said tower and put any mod t15 in
3. Find the temple and get your reward
4. Next map

Better answer to your question: confusing doesn't always equate to longevity but eventually you'll be thankful ggg has "confusing" activities

When placing rooms in the temple it's annoying you can't see a connection ahead of time, that's why many people use the sulo tool online. Hoping for QoL updates assuming it sticks around

[pine tinsel]

Anyone know what the white meter is? It's full on freezing every half second in the temple. I want to know if its me or the server

[peak wren]

I'm new to minions. If invest into stun buildup on the passive tree, does that help the minions skills build up more stun or no, it has to come from me?

[quartz cradle]

There are two nodes that give minions more stun buildup, and they are right next to the movement speed notable and armour break notable

Nothing else besides support gems would work

[reef ledge]

trying to move architect to the spot for my temple to begin and got a spymaster room, why can i not place it next to the red rooms? in the cheat sheet it says i can

is it because commander is near it?

[feral reef]

whats a good strat to run with incursion?

[quartz cradle]

If there's a commander in the chain this prevents more spymasters

[quartz cradle]

Technically none, you want to be in and out of maps ASAP

Path to fun stuff like unique maps, citadels, and potential fracturing orbs?

Abyss, deli, and breach would all be fast so no expedition, wisps, or ritual

[reef ledge]

is there a tech to circumvent this?

[quartz cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/mindless-behavior-2chainz-swag-rap-rappers-gif-5723057

[reef ledge]

ah ok lol

[quartz cradle]

Sometimes if you want a certain room you can build towards that spot, then delete the path you used to get there

Roman road I believe, not sure if it applies here but that's what would help you

[red jetty]

I was using weighted sum V2, but I just changed it to regular weighted sum with the same exact search parameters and the items seem to be a lot better

First image is regular, second is V2. had 2 Weight on elemental resistances, 1 on + max life and mana, and 1 on increased rarity

[quartz cradle]

Nice! The mana is probably what brings the cost down until you start seeing cast speed suffixes on the same ring

Would recommend having a weighted sum search in addition to a Count or regular search. this way you can guarantee you see 80+ resistances or 100+ life, etc

Also don't forget to try "has # empty prefix/suffix" sometimes you can find an item like those rings except 5 mod instead of 6. Can try desecrating with an abyssal echoes in order to hit something fun

[red jetty]

Can you give an example search of weighted sum plus count/regular to ensure guaranteeing seeing 80+ resistances?

[quartz cradle]

What's your build

Semi unrelated but might as well ask

[red jetty]

Plant Druid entangle

[quartz cradle]

Kinda like this you can tinker https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate of the Vaal/gljj9ndOIQ

Yours were cheaper but going from 1ex to 20ex purchase should be a-okay after a couple hours of map progression

Please don't neglect cast speed on rings, alongside glove 8% cast speed augment it's really the only cast speed you get aside from weapons and maybe expensive amulet (not counting tree but you don't get much there either compared to a SINGLE ring)

Cast speed not only lets YOU cast more, but entangle and thrashing vines both love cast speed, as each can only hit a certain number of times before disappearing

[peak wren]

Are there differences in drop rates and rarity between ssf and trade leage?

[red jetty]

Interesting! Does the weighted sum on life and mana guarantee that it will show on the item, or just if the item matches the other parameters like resistance, rarity and cast speed?

Never used pseudo before but it looks like exactly what I need for resistances

[quartz cradle]

Nope

[quartz cradle]

Pseudo basically means that if an item has an implicit or corruption it will contribute towards the sun

80 res from a gold ring vs 80 res on a ruby ring

If you put 90 PSUEDO, the gold wouldn't show up but the ruby would

[short jay]

heya, any reason why my nevermore shows this helmet as green? I don't see this type of format on there. Is it any good?

[bitter jewel]

I'm not sure what a "nevermore" is, but generally this colour coding for white bases indicates the filter creator thinks they have a valuable chance orb outcome

[short jay]

sry, not nevermore. Filterblade..

[bitter jewel]

Yeah, in that case my answer is applicable

[short jay]

yeah, but by default settings there is nothing with this toxic green text.. but anyway

[quartz cradle]

Chancing bases is a category in filterblade and it default to this green color

You can freely adjust currency to look like this if that's what you meant?

Or items, etc

[split mirage]

how do i start end game

[random wedge]

I have opened over 50 towers with Grand Projects, and I have found duplicates of 3 Hideouts, but the Canal Hideout has escaped me... can someone please run me through a Canal Hideout if they have one on their Atlas??? I can run you through Limestone, Shrine or Felled hideouts.... thank you.

[red jetty]

Sorry my brain is not working, what’s the purpose of the “And” function when you search? Where the pseudo resistances are

[quartz cradle]

It's just including it in a search

The basic way

[short jay]

im more asking why is it green it just stood out as i had never seen it- you answered chancing base. What does it mean, and can i profit from that? 😄

[hazy roost]

chancing base means you can slap a chance orb on it and potentially get a high price unique

or just sell the base as is

[jagged gorge]

anyone can help me build temple? here's what i have now but dunno which rooms to place next

[zealous meteor]

anyone doing 4th ascendancy willing to give me a portal for the points?

[red jetty]

Is it worth adding sockets to my gear each time I upgrade? I’m upgrading every 8-10 levels or so

[copper raft]

If you struggle with stats or resistances, sure. Otherwise no, not worth the effort.

When you stop leveling up a lot you can start adding all possible sockets.

[peak wren]

Is there a spectre that is really good at stunning and has decent damage?

[quartz cradle]

Gargantuan wasp, harano meat cleaver, vile vulture

Skeleton brute is great and does what are you wanting

And doesny occupy your 1 spectre slot

(you can have multiple spectres but a lot of scaling comes from Muster support right now and that means every single gem slot has value, unset rings can be BiS, etc)

[peak wren]

I'll check those out thanks... yeah I learned about Muster support

So are Powered Zealots do we think is working as intended or do we think they are up for a nerf?

I just started using them, and they seem really good

[quartz cradle]

They removed a spectre but these have been in for a while now, personally I hope and doubt they will get changes for the worse but we have zero clue what's up for a nerf or buff or rework

[peak wren]

Yeah.. because of them I think a minion build for me is on the table as an option for next patch

[short jay]

HI, btw, if I see BONDED stat. Does that mean its only for the character who crafted it? ie. if i buy it i wont have the bonus

[amber helm]

no, only if they have a specific shaman ascendnacy

that lets you benefit from the bonded modifiers

Do Mirage Archers (Deadeye) count as Companions??

[crisp coyote]

Can someone explain how this layout is possible? I see people chaining this many Spymaster's Study and Guardhouse rooms in a row (see the red circles).

When I try this in the planner, I can link a few of them, but it won't let me build a sequence this long. Is the planner bugged/limited, or is there a specific trick to connecting this many rooms at once?

[quartz cradle]

russian tech, it was one of the first ones discovered and popularized

or you put a commander down somewhere in the chain which would prevent further spymastas

[crisp coyote]

@quartz cradle Thank you!

[whole crypt]

Is there a good guide on how to customize filterblade somewhere? I tried to hide armor/ES bases to just see evasion and when I simulate it keep showing all bases, when I try to go to the rule that's showing it seems like there are all these complicated rare rules and it's hard to tell how they are all interacting

[short jay]

heya, Abyss has nothing but some drops? I mean there are no splinters, no pinacle? Ive ran like 10 of abyses and have notgotten anything but bunch of uniques

[hazy roost]

the abyss pits can rarely turn into "abyssal depth" that can lead to a special area wich has up to 3 different bosses in them. These bosses can drop the invitation to the pinnacle boss for abyss.

[thin terrace]

Hello can anyone carry me through my fourth ascendancy?

[dim sable]

I have a question about lore. Why is it we no longer go into the past for maps?

[sweet wyvern]

when did we do that?

[dim sable]

Idk what league it was... But after Act 3 we used to fail to go into the gateway and along with Doriyanni we stayed in the past and lived in the ziggurat where we and his soldiers would take portals to different areas to cleanse corruption

Act 4 was not there yet

[sweet wyvern]

oh, that was temporary lore because act 3 was the last act

[dim sable]

So, we no longer go into the past?

Is not a part of the lore anymore?

[sweet wyvern]

it's not

[dim sable]

Damn, I liked that

[quartz cradle]

Kinda something you have to play around with yourself, there are probably videos online from various YouTubers, you'd have to search on YouTube

Never seen anyone link a solid guide in here

[whole crypt]

Got it thanks, wish there was just an easy way to turn off for instance all armor item bases, that's all i want lol

[quartz cradle]

We are still going into the past but we come back every time now 😄

[quartz cradle]

Hide armour by base type section is prob what you're looking for

Should be a section for normal/magic and one for rares

Otherwise you'd scroll down to the regular Rare Items sections and you have some choices

Some ppl just paint every single base as either S or F and then it's very abstract

I typically paint the best bases as S, the next best bases as A (usually minimum level 75 or so), then everything else trash

[whole crypt]

Yeah I went to the "hide armor classes and weapon types" and hide everything except evasion, because I'm playing SSF ranger and don't care about other bases. But then it seems there's all these other rules that override this

[quartz cradle]

Are you only going off the simulator? More delay with having to save your filter but going somewhere like temple or sekhemas to see filtered loot is more reliable for me

Like make changes > auto save > check in game

[whole crypt]

Yeah I was just going off simulator, I'll try that

[quartz cradle]

I'm on mobile rn or I'd be more help

I know someone who plays poison pathfinder and typically makes their filters followable, lemme check

[quartz cradle]

https://youtu.be/ld8enrACjsU?si=ite9d1UuTWIubcR4

Check description

[whole crypt]

It seems like it is mostly accurate in game, not sure why simulator shows a bunch of hybrid bases etc., then points to "remaining rares" or something like that. I'll take a look at the filter from vid. Thanks for the help!

[gilded cipher]

These white mobs in an expedition logbook destroy me in basically one range attack. What is this mechanic and how do I counter it?

[sweet wyvern]

hover over this symbol to see the mods you gave the monsters

next to your skillbar

[gilded cipher]

thanks, didn't even not ice it

[sweet wyvern]

need to read what you blow up. the things with text are what the monsters will gain when you blow it up

[gilded cipher]

Ya i read those. all mobs drop quick, i was wondering why one pack of white monsters was destroying me

[sweet wyvern]

what mods did they have? and map mods too

[quartz cradle]

Unless I'm cooked, the remnants only apply AFTER each detonation goes off... Meaning the first groups of mobs were probably unaffected by "can't be crit, has mega resists" etc

Yeah each remnant applies to its own monsters and chests, as well as future explosions

[peak wren]

Does Trinity work the same way like in PoE1? You only need 2 elements to fill all 3?

Good luck

[random wedge]

ok, no issues... thanks

[woven cairn]

Just one more level two of my lich is... So I mixed both of them lol

[random wedge]

If I can't find one this league, my characters will end up in standard, and maybe you can run me through the Canal hideout then

[quartz cradle]

I'll log on later and check

[lean kite]

Howdy all, first time playing, started mid-league and just hit 99 in ssf. Ide like to try to hit 100 before league ends. Up to this point ive just kind of been pursuing upgrades as oppose to focusing on xp so im not really sure what the best strats are for exp gain (tablets, maps vs temple, etc). I can comfortably remove all gear from my loot filter at this point. Ive got a decent 45 room temple setup and growing. What would be the best strats for exp gain? Any tips?

[quartz cradle]

No strategy will beat vaal temple for XP, so just focus on keeping your temple from collapsing, add a mixture of exp + # of monsters + monster effectiveness

[quartz cradle]

I haven't been on in two months but I also feel the urge to push for 100 in hc, here's my semi-scuffed temple

It's got 1 chain for spymasters, 1 chain for XP, and 1 chain for effectiveness

I don't really mind if the commander chain collapses, it was a recent edition and I was getting a little over 1% XP per run on average, and since it's hc and not too juiced I'm fine with that amount

[lean kite]

I got screwed on my temple because the planner lets you build illegal layouts. Its salvageable though. Building towards this now. I could never play hc lol. Bad internet plus ive had at least 1 death that made zero sense to me.

[quartz cradle]

Nice, getting those armouries down in the corner is huge. This was only my second iteration of a 40+ room temple and while better than the first, still room for improvement

[past horizon]

Hi,

We agree that the effect "Supported Skills Consume Enemy Fully Broken Armour to deal 40% more Damage" (Exploit Weakness Support), modifying damage taken (after Damage mitigation) by the enemies and should be understood as "#% more Damage taken" and is in principle multiplicative with the effect "#% increased Damage taken" such as shock ?

[quartz cradle]

yeah, its just the same as any support gem MORE would be

[past horizon]

Actually, I don't think so.

[quartz cradle]

it has MORE in the support gem description

its an entire bucket all on its own

shock only adds with wither, sekhema relics, "enemies standing on jagged ground", "electrocuted enemies" etc

[past horizon]

One way to explain it is that for an area-of-effect attack that hits multiple enemies who are potentially Shocked, Withered, Fully Break Armour effect and/or Intimidate, the game doesn't calculate all possible damage instances for that attack for each possible combination within the attack's radius. Instead, it applies the same amount of damage to each enemy, and after the damage is mitigated by the enemies' defenses, it applies the "#% increased Damage taken" relative to the effect independently for each enemy. That's why it specifies "increased Damage taken" for these effects and not just "increased Damage."

See this page for more (and better) explanation: https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Receiving_damage

I just wanted to know if you agreed with me that there's a "wording" error on the support gem, which should be: "Supported Skills Consume Enemy Fully Broken Armour to ~~deal ~~ **Enemy take **40% more Damage"

Or maybe I've completely misunderstood how the game works, which is honestly also very possible.

Otherwise, it would mean that the game calculates multiple instances of damage depending on the enemies within the attack radius, which I never thought was the case.

hey guys, so i was following this build. i was lacking spirit in this build and im following the given build

[uneven granite]

Anyone knows if you can refight Rotten Druid, Crowbell, Geonor, Rathbreaker and Kabala after you kill them?

[echo sapphire]

The campaign bosses? Yeah you can just go back and they're there again at the same level

[lunar solstice]

can anyone help with ascendancy hardcore

[uneven granite]

Thank you for the answer, I wanna start Spirit Walker with unique beasts, so I was wondering whether to skip those bosses(if possible) or not if I wanna capture them

[swift knoll]

I'm currently planning my build and i see that i'll need Ailith's Chimes in Derelict Mansion. I've got a question regarding this map.
In POE 2 you can't re-do a map after beating it, isnt it ? How to farm the lineage support then ?

[quartz cradle]

Path quickly through the atlas, using grand project tablets in precursor towers if possible to jump around

[swift knoll]

But if i beat it once and didn't drop, can i re-do it ?

[median escarp]

you have to find a new map

you cant rerun maps youve already completed

[swift knoll]

I'm not really verse into endgame yet. Can you re-find the same map ?

[median escarp]

yes

the atlas is effectively infinite, so you just keep running maps looking for the specific map you want until you get the drop you want

or you could just buy it if youre in trade league

[swift knoll]

Ty for the answers ❤️ !

[quartz cradle]

They would find way more mansions than they would visions of paradise in SSF, is it even worth mentioning 😅

[quartz cradle]

There is a unique irradiated tablet that allows you to re-run a map, but you have to use the tablet going into the map and it's crazy overkill for derelict mansion, which are common enough!

[swift knoll]

Oh. That's good to hear then 😄

[median escarp]

theres no difference between ssf and trade league when it comes to map rarity or drops or anything

[quartz cradle]

Yeah, I just mean you are NOT going to visions of paradise in SSF unless you get super lucky or farm a juiced temple... So I didn't think it was even worth the mention

I'm almost halfway to 100 and I've found 20-30 grand project tablets and only 2 visions of paradise

[rotund wigeon]

What stash tabs to people typically buy? I'm considering buying a few more it makes my life easier. I've got the map, currency, unique and the premium bundle. Are the league tabs worthwhile or just chuck them all into a empty tab, same goes with the gem tab, is it worthwhile? Or just use a regular tab and search through it.

[sweet wyvern]

grab a merchant tab. gem tab is decently useful in poe2.

[echo parrot]

two questions

1. how's pure eva right side defenses atm? is energy shield mandatory if u play huntress?

2. i see walker of the wilds got removed, any way to get ele life leech that isnt amazon atm?

[past horizon]

Less effective than before (requires a support slot and therefore only applies to one skill), but accessible to all classes

[echo parrot]

nvm walker of the wilds, i forgot it was only for mana leech. How do u get ele life leech outside of amazon? is there any way? i looked up and couldnt find something reliable

[spark peak]

Does anyone offer ascension runs still in this league? Can't find any

[past horizon]

Ah yes, you asked about life leech, my bad, I read too quickly. I did a quick search, but found nothing that allows you to leech life from elemental damage that would be accessible to all classes.

[echo parrot]

no worries, mb i typed about walker i forgot it was only mana leech

yeah thought so, thank you!

[signal wraith]

hey guys, how much is tacati's soul core of affliction?

[lean kite]

Is it possible to run the temple without placing any additional rooms? Normally I cant see the run temple button until placing one.

[junior hornet]

I think you can hold alt or ctrl and click to run it?

[lean kite]

That would be amazing. Getting paranoid Ill be forced to place a room that bricks my temple. Thanks Ill try it next temple!

[sly swallow]

atziri staff gives spell life leech, also a unique armour

[tight solar]

If I fail the map where the corrupted nexus is, does the c. nexus just cease to exist in this area?

[strange vortex]

can anyone confirm for me that i read it right that Maligaro's Virtuosity sets crit bonus to 250%. Crit bonus default is 100% or 0% in this case? The wording says crit bonus is +100% by default, which would imply that 250% is +250% instead of +100. Or does it mean crit bonus is 200% default damage normally, and this item makes it 250% default damage.

Question is whether, if you have 0 crit bonus nodes/affixes, this makes you do 2.5x damage on a crit vs a non crit, or 2.5x dmg vs a normal unscaled default bonus crit.
or 3.5x dmg vs a non crit and (3.5/2=1.75)x dmg vs a normal unscaled default bonus crit.

In other words, I need #% increased bonus to make them worse/better:
350% increased
250% increased
175% increased
other

[quartz cradle]

Everyone has 100 crit damage default, meaning a crit deals double damage

Maligaros sets your crit damage to 250, meaning you are dealing 2.5x normal damage

You cannot change your crit damage anymore through any means. This is why people use pinpoint critical, it's downside is negated entirely

[strange vortex]

2.5x normal noncrit or crit.

so its effectively in isolation 50% increased "crit damage bonus"?

[quartz cradle]

You are going from 100 to 250

It's 150% increased crit damage

A non crit would deal 200, a crit would deal 700 with no other modifiers

[strange vortex]

~~So i decided to actually spend the 5 seconds it took to check in pob.

its 75% increased~~

Oh

no increased doesnt work like this. Increased is a flat to this number. Its indeed 150% icnreased

[vast turtle]

what are the good bases for easy currency this league?

[quartz cradle]

You mean the one that ends in 18 days 😅

Just check Poeninja, for example I know maji talisman was a solid portion of shapeshifters, obliterator for bow users, dueling wand for casters, etc

[vast turtle]

i dont really know how to use that site very well the ones im mainly talking about is like heavy belts amulets and stuff like that do those go for anything at all

[quartz cradle]

Nope, in leagues past folks would pay a premium to purchase normal rarity Heavy Belts in order to use a Chance Orb on then

Due to vaal temple, the unique belt people are trying to get is selling for pennies on the dollar

So the bases you'd want to farm would be extra socket, extra quality, high item level and those would sell to crafters

[vast turtle]

o doesnt sound good then

[quartz cradle]

1. Normal items can be chance orbbed for chance of Unique
2. Normal items can be Transmuted + Annulled over and over and over

Those are the two situations you'd be trying to supply items for

[quartz cradle]

Right, better to focus on stuff that sells in the currency exchange, allowing you to take that currency and buy stuff from the trade site

Unlikely to get OTHER people buying stuff from you at this point, but it can still happen

[vast turtle]

im just playing this league since i havent played since the first league and i wanna remember the stuff for the new league thats coming

[peak terrace]

lets say im completely new to the game(barely tried to understand few things and didnt want to give much hours to maps and lategame stuff)
what should i watch or what do you suggest for noob like me to understand basics in like builds and try to understand how to craft basic stuff

[quartz cradle]

There is no shortcut really, but you start by choosing skills that look fun, reading their tags (projectile, slam, travel skill, cold, chaos, etc), and then figuring out how to scale your damage

Usually that means gem levels, increased damage (could be attack, spell, elemental, or more specific. Typically this all adds up to one number in the hundreds), critical damage (also likely in the hundreds in endgame), and then solving monster mitigation (resistance penetration, cursing, exposing)

I went looking on YouTube and apparently I viewed this channel in the past, from a brief skim it seems like you could start with their most recent video, then watch the middle one regarding the game in its entirety

Miso also has a 30 minute video 2 months ago and is a reliable guide, can check there to cross reference once you've absorbed stuff

Misoxshiru

[peak terrace]

thx

[short jay]

hey, any reason why im notable to open this corrupted nexus?

are these not 4 explicit mods?

[past horizon]

Hi, place your cursor over the "Traverse" button, the game should tell you why.

[short jay]

it says i need 4 explicit mods

[bitter jewel]

Yes, corrupted nexuses require a waystone with at least 4 mods

(note all of this might change in 3 weeks with 0.5)

[past horizon]

You can press "alt" on the Waystone while having the cursor over it if you're on PC. I have the impression that she only has 3

[short jay]

the picture i shared with waystone are 4 mods, no?

[quiet ocean]

One mod has 2 lines of text

[quiet ocean]

Press alt.

[past horizon]

"#% Increased number magic monster", is not a possible modifier for Waystones, that's strange

[peak wren]

Yeah I get confused by this too sometimes. 1 mod can have 2 lines of text

[past horizon]

Ah, you're playing in standard mode, with the old map system, that explains it. No ?

[short jay]

not me, not where the screenshot was made from. its from current league

[past horizon]

What is your character's name in game?

[bitter jewel]

You have two prefixes and a suffix, only 3 mods.

Mods with identical stats, like % increases to magic monsters, get combined into one line on the waystone display

Increased waystone and pack size mods are added to the values at the top. This makes them look like they're implicits, but they actually come from the waystone explicit mods.

I assume GGG does this simply for readability sake

[past horizon]

I'm 100% sure he's playing in the standard league; there are only malus on Waystone modifiers now. He's using a Waystone from before the Waystone rework system

Oh no, I didn't say anything --'

[bitter jewel]

No, I attached images of the three mods he has, they're all straight from 0.4 data files 😄

But you're still correct he only has three explicit mods

[past horizon]

So you are right. A single modifier that groups two lines

[bitter jewel]

Learning to discern difference between a mod and a line is a discovery everyone has to through at some point

It's honestly a bit confusing at first, but once you understand the difference it's not too hard

[past horizon]

The scariest thing about it is that I've gone through hundreds and hundreds of maps this season... It's terrible to have such a poorly functioning brain 😮

[restive grail]

does anybody know why i cant do this node 😭

[bitter jewel]

Are you using a waystone T6 or higher?

[restive grail]

im using a t16 waystone

[short jay]

does it have 4 explicit mods?

i just had a similar head-scratcher..

[quartz cradle]

Answer to this is almost always: complete ALL surrounding maps

Using a tier 6 waystone can be normal rarity, doesn't have to be 4 mod like corrupted nexuses

But you have to get the item from a surrounding map, usually after defeating the map boss

[short jay]

so many details to this game

[quartz cradle]

Usually there are red wispy trails leading from this map into surrounding ones, but it doesn't always show

[past horizon]

Yes ! 🙂 This is also the case for modifiers present on the equipment, don't hesitate to press "alt" to unmerge merged lines (+ allows us to know the tier of modifiers). Over time you will learn which lines can be merged

[red jetty]

Should I always be upgrading my waystones to 6 mods? Or if they drop with 2-4 mods is it fine to run them? I’m on T6 maps rn

[robust crest]

If you're at T6 maps then don't worry about the number of mods too much as long as you get the "completion benefit" or whatever and can finish it

[sly swallow]

why are you doing t6? after leeching temple you can start with t15

[sweet wyvern]

are they leeching temple?

and that strat is gonna be severely nerfed next patch anyway

[hazy roost]

answering to anyone that wants to actually play the game "just leech temple" isnt really the best advice

[sly swallow]

well this is the state of the game rn, not my fault

[short jay]

You are suggesting him to just skip an important learning aspect of the game - improving maps, gear, build to deal with t16 maps. Just dropping them in the deep end without any support.

Temple leeching is ok for people who have experience with the game and want to level quick, and they know what to do with extra levels ✌️

[sly swallow]

it's not that complicated really, most people want the highest character level and the best possible items as soon as possible...

if he is a beginner then I am simplifying the game a lot for him, with the infinite gold, high character level and good amount of divines the game will still be hard and complex for a beginner but more manageable

[hazy roost]

i feel like that is a thing for people that have already played a lot of the game, not something for a beginner to do. They should learn the game before just skipping all of it

[quiet ocean]

This isnt what you suggest to new players especially because it will be gone in a month. You aren't helping anyone that would need it posing questions in this channel with that advice. All your doing is creating a new problem for them once Alva is nerfed.

[sly swallow]

learning the game requires not being burned out, tilted and bored, a hard game like poe2, the best thing a beginner can do is make a strong build quickly and destroy all content, that makes you hooked in, excited to learn, relaxed, openminded, now you have experienced the journey from zero to hero and want to do it again

even with the temple leeching the game might be too complicated and the beginner might quit anyway
once he has the character level and the divines from leeching temple now he must learn buying items just as if he didn't leech temple

[quiet ocean]

This isnt D4, stop trying to treat it as such

that is absolutely not the best thing a beginner can do either

the best thing a beginner can do...is learn how to play the game, not "exploit" something thats going to be gone in a month

[sly swallow]

what do you mean? if this was D4 I wouldn't worry about the beginner's mental state because D4 is so easy, just go and farm. poe2 on the other hand can be soul crushing and people quit because the game is just too hard

[noble vine]

"game is hard, you should cheat and skip progression instead of learning" xD

[sly swallow]

but this is literally the current meta in the game, you finish campaing, then you leech temples, it doesn't make sense to do something else instead because temples are so broken

[quiet ocean]

I mean you're just wrong, and no new player coming in here for after acts help should listen to you. I'm over this conversation though, you can continue spouting terrible new player advice.

[sly swallow]

you can't make the argument "but the next league will be different" because every next league is different and you have to learn new farming strats

[dull plank]

Omg both of you stop

[quiet ocean]

you arent fubgun. Not every new player needs to be fubgun and run 100% efficiency the moment they walk into the game. People need to learn the game to get to that point. Not epxloit something that they wont be able to do literally next league. How do you not understand this?

[hazy roost]

[delicate bane]

How do you get to these corrupted nodes?

[peak wren]

Try finishing the map below the first corrupted node and see if you have access. Might be a visual bug.

[hazy roost]

lol thats looks like severely fucked up generation

[peak wren]

Yeah.. there's a whole lotta that don't make sense happening there lol

[short jay]

Wtf..

[delicate bane]

Yeah, can’t run that abyssal either…

[peak wren]

That sucks... might be good for a bug report... they should definitely fix any issues of unable to run maps because it generated it improperly

[knotty knoll]

Wonder what the best route after finishing campaign is gonna be next season?

I guess push atlas points first

[strange vortex]

Does "Weapon range" have anything to do with how far you move with skills that cause you to lunge forward? Like bonshatter/whirling slash?
"Melee strike range" obviously does, so begs the question

[hazy roost]

uhh neither affect it

[strange vortex]

Then why is boneshatter preferred over whirling slash? Whirling slash has higher % of base attackspeed and much higher attackspeed on the best AS weapon (skysliver vs trenchtrimbre).

[quartz cradle]

Whirling slash has a reduced lunge distance per attack speed mutliplier 😅

They fkd it

Fixed a bug where Whirling Slash's travel distance could no longer change based on your attack speed

I guess they technically unfkd it

[hazy roost]

what clan said yea

also trenchtimber is some insane ammount of attack speed

[strange vortex]

less than skysliver

[hazy roost]

less base but a shitload more it can gain from rage stacking

this node exists and is affected by berserk

[strange vortex]

thats very build specific indeed

[hazy roost]

i mean, what attack build doesnt use rage right now

[strange vortex]

abyssal lich

[hazy roost]

i would highly recommend using rage on abyssal lich because you can negate the life degen from berserk

[short jay]

Hi I know this is not really a build chat, but maybe someone can give me a hint on whats the difference between hybrid and critical Deadeye Lighning arrow build. Both are mentioned as end game builds for LA. Just thinking if I need to switch to crit if i progress further in higher level maps. Or hybrid scales good as well. I need to invest in equipment

[strange vortex]

But spell casting abyssal lich with boneshatter weaponswap purely for movement

I tested it ingame and boneshatter simply has a much farther lunge distance which makes it vastly better

[hazy roost]

ah you a spellcaster, sorry i assumed attacks cause thats the most popular with abyssal lich

[strange vortex]

"Hybrid" means fubgun is telling you to get gear that is hybrid defense between evasion and energyshield. "Crit" means he is telling you to spec into crit investments instead of only %increased nodes / weapon affixes. Its a whealth-step ladder, as each is more expensive than the latter

Crit is not worth speccing into without a good budget, because the floor of effect is very high off the ground, and crit build includes having already gotten hybrid going

[strange vortex]

Wanted to adopt the twister build by prada over to a spark build with lowlife as well. Which is basically just a new build but with attackspeed boneshatter for weaponswap mobility - lets me use bones of ullr boots instead of movespeed

[short jay]

i just got a bit of influx of divines, and thinking to upgrade my gear. Thats why im asking. But sounds like I should then invest in crit build and respec..

[strange vortex]

whats an influx in this economy

the buying power of ~100divs in 0.3 would be needed for properly investing into crit. I think thats like 500 divs? in 0.4 at this point

[short jay]

ok, not that much, i got about 30 😄

[strange vortex]

youd want a bow with at least 4-4.5% to crit, on top of 3 ~T2 suffixes (that arent the bad ones. Like % phys, flat phys, flat light, gain light, quiver%)

crit is expensive for attack builds to make better than noncrit

[short jay]

hmm.. ok. And when I buy someting off the market. Is there anyway to tell which ones are T1/2/3 modifiers? alt checking doesn't work for me

[strange vortex]

its listed on the side of the item window box

idk how it looks ingame but on trade site its these

P/S just means prefix / suffix

[short jay]

i dont have that. or am i missing something

[strange vortex]

this chinese pic i found does

its a setting then maybe

[short jay]

odd.. cant find anything on options that resembles this

[past horizon]

You using the in-game integrate Trade ? Apparently, the modifier tier are not displaying for it. You can use the website if you're on PC : https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Fate of the Vaal

This site can help you filter your searches if needed: https://poe2db.tw/us/Bows#ModifiersCalc

[short jay]

Thanks, didn’t know this was a thing. Also it has immediate teleport button. Super convenient

[knotty knoll]

so its no longer a movement skill, sad

[random wedge]

Can someone explain how 'Rakiata's Flow' Lineage Support gem actually work. I installed it in Lightning Rod skill, and though it shows no damage increase in the in-game tool tip, on POE Ninja, it shows a huge increase to DPS.

[sweet wyvern]

tooltip dps doesn't account for stats on the enemy, including their resistances

[strange vortex]

Inverted in this case means *-1.

So if enemy has 75% resistance meaning your 100dps would be 25dps, rakiata makes that -75%, meaning your 100 dps is 175 dps because resistance is a less/more damage taken.

If enemy has 20% resistance, your 100dps would be 80 but now 120 dps.

If enemy had -10%, your dps would be 110 but now 90.
But if you have resistance penetration, that applies after invertion, so if 20 penetration, its back to 0% (as penetration unless modified, cant go below 0%)

But if you have apply elemental weakness, that instead works against you because that effects their resistance and not how penetrative your skill is, as in it applies before invertion

Same goes for exposure

In the same tangent. Thats how shock works. Its 20% increased damage they take; so it doesnt show in tooltip because its not your damage that is higher, its them being weaker.

[random wedge]

Thank you so much for the detailed reply. Just to confirm, The resistance penetration (I have some on my gloves), only becomes potentially useless (if enemy resistance is in minus), and not hurt me by having the opposite effect (by giving enemies more resistance)

[strange vortex]

Which is also why shock is 20% more, not increased

[strange vortex]

Penetration never hurts, only becomes less useful / hurts in the way that you lose opportunity to have something else instead.

[random wedge]

Is it possible, that elemental penetration on my gloves lowers enemy resistance, which then inverts and thus I get less effect from Rakiata Flow??

[strange vortex]

Nope. Penetration applies after invertion because it goes against the monster resistancd. Invertion changes the resistance before that happens

[random wedge]

Thank you.

So I don't have to change my gloves that have Lighting Penetration on them... and I can use the Waystone with Extra Monster Elemental resistance to actually give monsters even more negative resistance

[strange vortex]

Yep

I assume the wording is "monsters have" but if its "as if monsters have extra" then it would apply after invertion. Just to clarify that theres that distinction

[quartz cradle]

It's just not as fast as it was, it's still gonna be faster than walking a lot of the time. But now we have sprint too...

[royal wren]

does blood hunt explosion damage scale with physical modifiers or purely the damage bleed has done? why doesnt it recomend physical support gems?

[quartz cradle]

It's Life Loss equal to 25% of blood loss consumed, it'll never change

Any support gems are being used for the base damage or because the person doesn't realize

[random wedge]

How can I get Lightless void to spawn for abyss progression?? All I ever get is Abyssal Depths in maps

[sweet wyvern]

it only has a chance to appear in level 79+ maps

[strange vortex]

Does Pierce 3 work like inevitable crits where its 20% less on its original damage (100 80 60 40 20 0), or less recurring on its new damage (100 80 64 51 41 33 26 21...)?

[worn lodge]

Hey I am wondering about multiple Yoke of Suffering Amulets interacting in Party play. From my understanding all ignites for example are present but only the strongest one on the enemy does damage.
How would this work for Yoke of Suffering then? Let's say there are 3 players equipped with the Amulet and everyone has an ignite on the enemy. From the wording this would suggest the increased damage taken on the enemy has 3 "stacks" as every single Yoke of suffering has it's condition fulfilled.

[hazy roost]

the important word here is "your ailments"

[worn lodge]

Exactly.

The amulet checks if I have an Ailment type of Ignite on the enemy (Which is true) and applies the inc. dmg taken,
The Amulet of my mate checks if he has an Ailment type of Ignite on the enemy (Which is true) and applies the inc. dmg taken.

[strange vortex]

as coooleen said, it needs to be an ailment from you
but yes i also think it would be 20+20+20 = 60% increased damage if each of you have an ignite

[worn lodge]

Because it makes the distinction to check explicitly the ailments the owner of the Amulet.

[worn lodge]

What do you mean by that? Let's say I do not have the Amulet equipped but my mate has it. I should profit from the increased damage taken per Ailment type my mate has inflicted.

[hazy roost]

ok i just checked, since it is a "Increased damage taken" mod, it applies a debuff if the one that has it equipped applies an ailment. It doesnt matter who is wearing it and it doesnt "stack" as long as the ailment on the enemy has been applied by the one that wears it

so basically you only need one guy in a party to wear it

[worn lodge]

So the debuff on the enemy can not stack per Amulet in the mix? How were you able to find that out?

[hazy roost]

Its been tested in poe1 and should work the same way. Also shouldnt stack cause its the same type of debuff

[strange vortex]

Same principle as you cant inflict 2 sources of shock on the same enemy even if different players (the newest one takes presedence in this case) (unless youre stormweaver)

[worn lodge]

Alright. Thank you for explaining this to me!

Saved me a bunch of time running into that wall 😄

[green sonnet]

hey, got into the game when early access released and dipped into maps a little bit before taking a hiatus until today. im really struggling now and was wondering if anybody had some returner advice?

[short jay]

heya, are you supposed to get anything from Powerful Boss maps? Ive cleared like 2 today and I don't see any difference

[kind coral]

they have a tendency to drop more loot & have a chance for a higher tier waystone.

[peak wren]

Yeah I stay away from the unique content till I have T15 maps

[slate silo]

is triple gain better than doubel gain + spell damage on a wand?

[hazy roost]

no

[strange vortex]

Can be in extreme cases but youre either running a unique kind of build or shouldve specced into crit (=less increased% on your tree) on your tree

[slate silo]

alright, thank you

[strange vortex]

Im not 100%, but I also am pretty sure theres no instance of double increased% on your wand 1x gain is ever better, even if youre pure of a damage based, unless maybe if youre doing your damage as an ailment (poison/bleed) that only scales from for example the physical part of your damage to increase poison/bleed magnitude (?)

[slate silo]

seriously? good to know, so what would you take as the 3 prefix? gain, spell inc and?

[hazy roost]

the one case where you want double inc is inc chaos on chayula

because chayula already gets you like 250% gain as extra chaos from flames

[strange vortex]

All spell and specific damage type spell can both roll

[hazy roost]

not quite true, there are specfic element bases that can roll any of the other types and if you roll a specific element gem level or inc dmg, it removes the possibility of rolling other types of gem level/inc level. And i do not mean them sharing a mod

like if you have + lightning level on a wand, you cant roll inc fire

[strange vortex]

makes sense but god i wish these things were communicated somewhere ingame or at least on poe2db

[hazy roost]

they are communicated in poe2db

bases also have these tags

its just gain as extra wich isnt compliant to these mods since they arent considered spell mods

[strange vortex]

I see. Didnt know where to look

[hazy roost]

yeah they are pretty well hidden

[strange vortex]

Well that explains why I felt my hcssf run was even more dry on my allspelllvls rolls when i was id'ing, transmuting and auging all bases

[next light]

i closed the game during arbiter of ash fight. i can't go back in, is this normal? do i have to find 3 crisis fragments again?

[strange vortex]

If you kept it closed for more than the 5-15mins it takes for an instance to reset, yes you need new fragments

[next light]

oh boy, my game was lagging too much so i thought i could try it again later

[strange vortex]

I think this is a case of incorrect wording. Because obviously this would be "with Bow Skills" and not "With bows" because this wording implies you just need to use the skill with a bow as your weapon, and that it would work on any skill you can use unweaponrestricted, say, spark, if you used something like widowhail spark.

I assume it doesnt work on spark/spells/etc and that it actually requires the skill gem to have the tag "Requires Bow"

[hazy roost]

i mean, the wording is correct since you dont use a bow with spells

spells arent using any weapons, thats why wands and staves etc are global modifiers

[sweet wyvern]

"with x weapon" means attacks

[dim sable]

I bought a quad stash tab, how do I convert it to be a merchant tab?

[sweet wyvern]

i'm pretty sure quad tabs can't become merchant tabs. and you can only convert premium tabs if you got the tab before september last year

you can buy merchant tabs directly

[strange vortex]

You can request refunds if youre quick about it. Should also wait for stash sales

[random wedge]

@strange vortex - Sorry to trouble you again about Rakiata Flow - I had a follow-up question - Once an enemy is hit with a skill that has Rakiata Flow (E.g., Lightning Rod), is the enemy's resistance inverted permanently, so if I hit the enemy with Lightning Arrow after that, it would still benefit from the resistance inversion?

[hazy roost]

rakiatas is only for the hits of the supported skill

[random wedge]

Thank you. So the resistance inversion is only relevant to the skill it is on. It's not like a universal resistance switch.

[hazy roost]

yep

[strange vortex]

Ye, it "treats your hits as if the enemy had inverted resistance", not "inverts enemy resistance"

[waxen lava]

am I missing a setting, if I have a skill on left click (other then ex mace strike) I cannot interact with waypoints?

guys normally where we can find hideouts on atlas ?

[waxen lava]

I think it's most common next to water ^^

[unborn forum]

this is the problem im checking my atlas and i got nothing xd

[waxen lava]

followed some water and found 2 pretty quickly, I'm sure you'll get one! not sure about it, but might just spawn a certain distance away from the start

[unborn forum]

will be here maybe xd

[random wedge]

After the first hideout near the starting home base, they are quite rare and you have to open the map substantially to find them. I opened over 50 towers with the Grand Project tablet and found all but Canal hideout. I paid someone 20 Divs to run me through a Canal hideout to unlock it for me.

How do I know which parts of an aura gets scaled by Aura Effect?
Lets take Withering Presence, for example:

Does it affect the duration, rate of application, wither effect, none of the above?

Same with Malice.

[heavy sierra]

Hey so after passive tree reset I have some jewels still sitting in the unallocated jewel slots on my tree, how do I view all jewel slots at once so I can remove all my old jewels?

[past horizon]

If I understand your question correctly, you can search "jewel" in the search field and move from one location to another by pressing "enter". There are only 12 locations in the tree, you'll quickly see them all.

[heavy sierra]

Thank you very much

I am in the endgame area of the game but it won't let me teleport to the act areas. how do I go back to the act areas to test my build?

[bitter jewel]

Make sure you are using a waypoint, and not trying to go back using the map device. At the top of the waypoint menu that pops up, you'll have option to select the different act maps.

[past horizon]

Magnitude only applies to Buff/Debuff (Curses are Debuffs). In this case, it affects the effect of Withers, and for Malice, the effect of Critical Weakness.

[past coyote]

So +50% buff effect would push fully stacked Wither from 50% increased chaos damage taken to 75% increased chaos damage taken? And Malice to 15% base crit (usually caps at 10%)?

Because that sounds too good to be real :D As in I would have expected there to be a certain limit, with Buff Effect only getting you to that limit quicker.

[heavy sierra]

I am ;-;

[heavy sierra]

game doesn't do anything when I try to tp to that location

oh im an idiot I have to use waystone

[past horizon]

I'm pretty sure that's it, yes ! 🙂 But still check that you don't have anything that reduces this magnitude, for example Blasphemy and also takes into account that :

[past coyote]

Thats amazing holy hell... Thanks!

[past horizon]

No, no, you don't need to use Wayston to get back to a campaign map. Just use the waypoint.

And choose the acte you wish to join (what is misleading is that this banner is also available on the map device, even though it does not allow teleportation to a map of previous acts).

[glossy wigeon]

Which tabs are essential? I think i have 6 of the generic ones, a currency tab, and a gem tab. Should i buy anything else?

[strange vortex]

If you play trade, Merchant tab absolutely.
Fragment stash tab is coming which will also be big (can buy now on poe1 store during sale, mtx are cross game, u will unlock on new patch launch)
Map stash tab.
Augment stash tab.

Essence and end game mechanic specific ones are less important but they're also cheaper.

Unique and flask tabs are bait, dont buy unless you have absolutely nothing else you want to spend coins on. I keep my affinities off for them cuz i prefer they just go into my "misc gear" quad tab

[sly swallow]

a merchant tab and a currency tab are essential. after that a gem tab, a map tab, a quad tab, a regular tab

[glossy wigeon]

Unique tab is bad? Why is that

[sly swallow]

league mechanic tabs are a bait

because you can store all leauge mechanic and socketable stuff in a quad tab

[strange vortex]

Its a mess trying to find what you put in there, you 99% want to just put the few uniques you do want to put in stash and on character sometimes in some normal stash, and disenchant the rest (or sell).

[strange vortex]

They provide QoL. Definitely not needed, but I prefer using single tabs (for the ones that dont have a tab yet) cuz 1x1 items dont fill a quad and it gets messy if you combine them

[glossy wigeon]

Ty, i'll see what i can buy

[hazy roost]

map tab is also pretty bait

you wont get that many maps to make full use of it

currency > merchant > fragment > gem tab would be the special tabs i'd buy right now

the rest can go into normal tabs

[quartz cradle]

Some people start each league with the goal of filling their unique tab, probably the only real reason to get the tab

I have it, and while I enjoy putting things in their manually I could definitely do without it

Losing the maps tab same thing, it's been nice to visually to see them but I end up with a tab full of tablets and T15 waystones anyway

[clever cipher]

Hello I've noticed a lot of uniques are traded for 1 exalt but if they are disenchanted they give 1 shard and with 10 of those you can trade it for a orb of chance which is valued at 20 to 25 exalts. Are orbs of chance being overvalued or are unique being undervalued ? (I'm playing standard)

[robust crest]

Undervalued

Can someone recommend a guide on temple to prep for 0.5? Barely did temple in 0.4 and a lot of the videos assume knowledge about spymasters, locks, and I need something more basic

[sweet wyvern]

are a lot of them about a snake strategy?

[royal widget]

I don't know what is the snake strategy so hard for me to understand what is being removed and what is not

[sweet wyvern]

you can probably find a video covering the basics, but temple is getting some changes as well as an atlas tree for it

so, a .5.0 guide would be more up to date once those come out

[glossy wigeon]

Is stash organization different for every character? Or it's shared per league?

[sweet wyvern]

like the way your tabs are setup?

or items in them?
regardless, stash is per league

[glossy wigeon]

Yeah, i just reorganized all my tabs into folders but i'm wondering if i'll need to do it again when the next update drops

[robust crest]

In POE1, your stash tabs in a fresh league inherit the organization of your Standard tabs. I believe it's the same for POE2.
So whatever setup you have in Standard, is how they will be in the new league.

[glossy wigeon]

Good to know, ty

[sly swallow]

its the value of your time that matters, if you farm lets say 10 exalts per second then after you have spent literally 3 seconds doing this stuff you already missed out on 30 exalts which makes disenchantimg uniques not worth it

The only thing you loose is your time, cause you can farm another barya or just buy one if you are in trade league.

If you start seeing them, you might as well try.

Videos aren't worth watching i am sure the temple will change a lot. Snaking already changed. Wait and see next Friday for the patch notes

When using a vaal infuser, is the corruption guranteed to not be "do nothing", and or does having a corruption omen active work on the corruption from infusing?

A bit silly issue. But I got invited for temple run. Fast forward I levelled my char to 89. My mapping is around t10, sometimes finding t11. Higher tier Maps are dropping rare and Doryani doesn’t replenish because I can’t level anymore. And every time I die I lose xp. I cannot level anymore

How do I filter out hybrid mods on the trade site?

[hybrid crescent]

So if I swap my gloves, i lose the ability to use convalescence. I have the spirit required and the required stats (requires 157 int, i have 170). I have no idea why swapping basck to the unique gloves re-enables my use of the gem

[glossy wigeon]

Just to be clear, if i'm using an attack skill like Lightning spear, i don't get benefits from support gems in the spear throw skill, right?

[bitter jewel]

Your support gems "support" the specific skill they are slotted into, so in general the answer to your question is yes.

There are a few edge cases where some stat may be conditional based on the number of total support gems you have equipped of a given colour. In that case it would count any support in any skill.

[glossy wigeon]

Got it, ty

[warm moth]

Do ice-tipped arrows convert the damage of the skill their applied to to cold or will i have to find somthing else to get to tri element with twister? im unsure because the description says they do, but the numbers appear to only indicate the ice fragments them selves have damage conversion.

[bitter jewel]

I can confirm they convert 100% of base phys to cold

I've tested this a bunch because I love ice-tipped and plan to league start it

You won't see this impact on the empowered skill (like Twister) because it only applies at the very moment you attack.

I assume this is because empowered buffs can apply to multiple skills

[warm moth]

Thank you.

[rotund wigeon]

What makes doryani sell higher tier maps? Is it how far through the main quest you are? Or is it based off highest tier map you've completed or something?

[past horizon]

A somewhat late reply, the description of Convalescence indicates that it must be active on both Weapon Sets to function, surely that's related? Perhaps by changing your gloves you no longer meet required for use the Staff in Set 2?

Place your cursor over the red exclamation mark to see the reason and you can also click on the right arrow to check at the bottom of the panel if Set 1 and Set 2 are checked.

[past horizon]

Not possible directly, one way would be to add a "stat group" of type "NOT":

[past horizon]

Yes, it depends on the highest level card you've completed, but he only sells map up to level 14, never level 15. His stock is replenished each time you level up, so he might run out of cards to sell.

[twilit spruce]

@past horizon I tried "Increased Physical Damage" with not "To Accuracy Rating" and I'm still seeing hybrids show up.

[past horizon]

Be careful to choose the modifier with "(local)"

[twilit spruce]

Why is it local? I thought that mod was global?

(It worked)

[past horizon]

This is certainly due to the fact that the "#% increased Physical Damage" is "(local)". This has the effect that "(local)" applies in a certain way to both lines of the hybrid modifier, this is misleading.. But yes, otherwise you're right, it's still global

[twilit spruce]

Perfect, I'm following. Thanks for the detail on the nuance. 🙏

[past horizon]

Ah, after checking, actually no, even the pure prefix "Accuracy" is considered local. So, I don't really understand why either. This also the case in PoE 1, accuracy rating on implicit.

Can you skip sekhema in a2 and do your later ascendancy to finish multiple trials at the same time?

[strange vortex]

If you wait until you get your trial of chaos quest key, it will only give you 2 points, but if you then do your sekhema quest key it will give you another 2 points after only boss 1.

Idk if that "bug" also behaves the same if one or both of those are from normal keys

but I did this with the 2 quest keys recently and thats what happened for me

[hazy roost]

not a bug, thats how its supposed to be, you can do the first 2 in any order if its those specific ones

you can however decide to skip ahead to 3rd or 4th ascendency if you do the corresponding trial

[sullen tide]

[sly swallow]

chaos, greater chaos, annulment, divine, rathpit, unique abyss tablet, greater transmutation (or augmentation, I forgot which one) is the baseline, you can add some league mechanic loot if you are farming it

ideally you would also add some white bases, but idk which ones anymore, probably some other uniques, but I forgot which ones 🙁

Hullo all, I just finished the campaign and I've looked into what the end game content is or at least some of it but I kind of want to switch gears. Is it really hard to make a new build out of the same character?

i have just beaten the architect for the first time. It seems stuck here. I have placed all the rooms available but the completed temple rooms is still 20/21. what to do next?

[steel finch]

Excuse me, I'm a casual newbie and was wondering how this pair of gloves I saw online from someone's post has this many mods at the top:

All I can figure out is that the cast speed comes from a rune and so does the non-damaging ailments thingy also is from a rune implying that somehow you can land 2 open sockets on a gloves (I assume a lucky corrupt or a double corrupt although i have no idea how double corrupts happen)

I have no idea where the +5 elemental resistance and w/e the bonded stuff is comes from

Ok... I did some research to educate myself and please correct my errors:

Bonded means absolutely nothing useless you're a Druid (Which i'm not). The cast speed, ele resist and non-damaging ailment mods are all from sockets/ soul core (ele resist one for the +5).

Now... The gloves I linked require 3 sockets for that. Naturally gloves have 1 socket but you can get lucky with something called an exceptional pair of gloves that will grant 2 sockets and if you get lucky on the corrupt of those exceptional gloves you can get 3 sockets.

I was searching for a unique pair of gloves so that means someone in the world found an exceptional pair of gloves for 2 sockets and then orb of chanced it into the specific unique gloves I was looking for and then corrupted those unique gloves and got lucky = 3 sockets

Is my train of thought incorrect?

[robust crest]

I think so

[past horizon]

Unique items can drop exceptional, using an orb chance does not retain the socket count (but it is possible that there is a small chance that this could happen, I don't know). The rest is correct! 🙂

[sweet wyvern]

bonded are rune mods that only the shaman ascendancy can use

[steel finch]

Oh sorry for the delay response guys. I got carried away trying to test a build I found after earning many currencies from a lucky drop but sadly the bad I found online and spent the currency is extremely sucky.

But! I think I can make it better by combining my old build tech that I created myself whilst using the skeletal structure of this build I found to create a new type lol. All is not lost!... yet

Oh and random question: How do I purchase a #4 trial carry in the current days of the game please?

they can pierce again, but it only activates once. If that stat goes over 100%, you have a chance to pierce a second enemy etc

Trying to understand gear progression. If the build i'm trying to follow has a Jungle Tiara in the helmet slot, i need to get a Jungle Tiara and then improve it with the crafting systems until it's just as good, right?

So i'd get the same items, and then improve them over time

[quiet ocean]

You dont need a jungle tiara, thats just the base. If you find something better with similar stats you can use that.

Different bases will.have Different amounts of defense or implicit.

If youre doing an end game craft, then yes you'll want the best base. But if youre asking im guessing youre nowhere near that point and just need gear upgrades.

[glossy wigeon]

How can i tell the difference between the base and the added/crafted stuff? What makes a jungle tiara different than other helmets? The base is the evasion/armor/energy shield on top of the other stats?

[quiet ocean]

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

Bases are just the item itself to craft on

[glossy wigeon]

Oh, so you have different items for different levels. So there's a clear progression of the base

my playtime has decreased with each release 0.1 played all classes through campaign with multiple 90+, 0.2 played a couple of classes to 90+, 0.3 one character to 80+, 0.4 one character (wyvern PF) though campaign then quit. I've really enjoyed PF and Titan builds I've made up.

I want to have movement skills that are fun, with quick attack/spell that are vaguely aiming (otherwise I get bored with no aim builds)? Could be ranged, could be melee. Needs defense that is not all leech-based. Is there such a combination yet in poe2? (I have a lot of experience in poe1, and strike skills are my favorite thing there)

[strange vortex]

Its the end of a currency inflated league. Everyone is not playing and those that are are loaded on currency fighting for the remaining ones up on trade to try out new builds for testing.

Tier 5 supports will be cheapest because thats the ones that drop for most people playing. Same for lvl 18 skill gems

[strange vortex]

Prada lich twister/spiral volley, maybe? Not very aimy. Could adapt it to iceshot + snipe instead of spiral volley

Poe2 really doesnt have movement skills.

[daring sequoia]

yea, I know it makes me sad

[strange vortex]

0 5 will have the new arbiter of divinity spear and nightfall shield which might be just for you

Nightfall shield specifically

[daring sequoia]

oh yea, that's the shield I saw that I wanted to use. I'm definitely pondering that

[daring sequoia]

watching the prada video on that, looks neat

[strange vortex]

Spells that are vaguely aiming, would be entangle builds. Not very movement speedy tho

[daring sequoia]

to use Nightfall, looks like Im' doing Titan again

wondering if this shield will mix well with the Brutus Lead sprinkler. Stack str with Titan, and the extra damage will add to the shield skill?

oh, nope... BLS adds damage to weapon attacks, and Soaring Midnight is damage from the shield

[hazy roost]

nope poe2 BLS we have seen is global added attack dmg wich would work

[daring sequoia]

ooo, ok then

ok, then that's what I'm aiming for BLS and Nightfall for first build

[olive comet]

Effective Health Pool/Hit Points, essentially how much damage a monster would have to do to kill you after taking into account your damage reductions and other forms of defense

[distant tulip]

I understand what the acronym stands for but how are you calculating EHP? Are you referring to the number in PoB? EHP is impossible to know without knowing the amount of damage, damage types, frequency of hits, enemy debuffs conditional buffs etc. The number in PoB has to make some assumptions and those assumptions are frequently inaccurate to in-game situations. In order to help someone fix their defenses or determine if their defenses are enough for certain content stating "8k EHP" is not very meaningful so I wanted them to elaborate so I could provide pointers.

Looking for a build similar to what I had in the first league. Basicly double herald screen shattering. Is there any way to still do something like this? I love shattering the screen full of enemies

[restive pond]

Herald of Ice can't trigger the lightning bolts of Herald of Thunder anymore, but there are definitely people out there screen shattering I just don't know the process.

[undone seal]

Yeh I’ve seen a few clips. I need that technology.

[austere sandal]

you can do something similar with herald of blood

socket bleed 3 and bursting plague

and bursting plague will apply bleeding that makes them explode which trigger herald of blood again

but it's not shattering

[sly swallow]

ehp is a kinda useless term, if you had 8k hit pool with good recovery that would be more than enough

[glossy wigeon]

Can i desecrate my ring? How do i know if something is getting replaced?

[past horizon]

Yes, this is done using Gnawed/Preserved/Ancient Collarbone. Desecration replaces a randomly chosen line. However, you can use Omen of Sinistral/Dextral Necromancy to ensure that it always replaces the Prefix/Suffix. You can also use an Omen of Abyssal Echoes to reroll choices once.

[ripe pumice]

You can. From the look of it, there's a prefix open, it should not replace anything (only replacing if the item already have 6 mods)
You can hold alt to check if it's not full (3 prefixes & 3 suffixes is full)

[past horizon]

Ah yes, there's a free line, sorry I didn't notice it.

[past coyote]

Does Poe2 already have a method of triggering on kill effects on demand? As in something like Writhing Jar / Hateful Accuser in POE1?

[ripe pumice]

I guess you want to be able to kill something when there's no mob on screen ?
You can look at Minion pact support.
Some explanation about the interactions and requirements here :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAZgUlMMgxc

[past coyote]

That might actually work perfectly... Thanks!

Interesting to see that this counts as you killing something..

[ripe pumice]

I don't remember if it's really counting as you killing tho
He use it for some cast on minion death shenenigans
I saw this vid a while ago

I guess that's something to test !

[past coyote]

Yeah, just watched the entire thing. Its not for me after all, but its a pretty cool interaction nonetheless :D

[oak inlet]

Do we need rarity on gear? Finally got build feeling great but have zero rarity. Will I still have chance to find decent drops tier 13+ maps?

[frank hornet]

not sure if this is the right section to ask but is this a bug? i have 150 spirit at moment, 140 spirit is already in use so i have 10 spirit left, if i place the support gems clarity on sorcery ward it become grey and it appear ''not enough spirit''

[quartz cradle]

putting a spirit-costing support in with other cost-increasing supports usually leads to this

disable everything and try again, see how much spirit clarity is costing

if only 10, then im wrong and something else is going on. if over 10, me right

[frank hornet]

it cost just 10 spirit, i am at 140/150

so if i put it i should use all the spirit

[quartz cradle]

read my first message again plesae

the OTHER supports are increasing the 10 spirit cost

[frank hornet]

no

you mean like this? now it have only clarity but still the same

if i use clarity on herald of ashes exemple the 'not enough spirit' message doesn't happen

and i am at 150/150

[quartz cradle]

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3841380

[frank hornet]

yeah that exactly what happen to me, btw thank you

[frank hornet]

as the guy said in the post i think is just a visual bug at this point

[carmine gorge]

Where can i learn about Breach Genesis?
I have no idea about it but i would like to learn EVERYTHING about it before league start

[quiet ocean]

From the reveal video....its new. You can look at poe 1s, but its different

[carmine gorge]

It seems to be beyond diffucult, crafting on that thing will require 2 months or PhD knowledge

[quiet ocean]

Its literally the most basic thing ever

Select mods, make loot

[carmine gorge]

Hmm

Alright, i hope you are right! I've never seen it before, i don't know what to expect

[twilit quail]

can anyone helo me with the prince

[quiet ocean]

It exists in poe1. You can go look there how simple it is.

[dusk sable]

Sup, guys i have a question, i'm running a disciple of varashta, i have 12k es, how good is the armor node to me, like, i know it prevents me from being bursted from full es, but if my es lowers so does the armor.

[quartz cradle]

It's only ever going to help against small to medium hits

Large hits will ignore all of it

[dusk sable]

Would it be better to have the water djinn use the shield to defend me when things get rough?

[quartz cradle]

If you aren't using the es recharge djinn command then yeah I'd be trying that

[dusk sable]

my es recovery cooldown is 1s

[quartz cradle]

yeah but damage stops it

[dusk sable]

true

[quartz cradle]

Convalescence and the djinn make it so you can Regen more es than you are actively losing

[dusk sable]

the command skill goes through dmg?

shit, i'll get that

[quartz cradle]

Ignite, bleed, ground effects

Lemme re read but it should

[dusk sable]

i thought it didn't

it only says it begins recharging, not that it ignores dmg

[quartz cradle]

Damage interrupts it dam, but convalescence works

[dusk sable]

true, well, i may get the water djinn for the barrier skill

to use if things get rough

It'll mitigate more dmg than the armor probably

But do i need convalescence if i have less than 1s ES recharge start

well, forget it, it recharges through dmg, dumb question

[quartz cradle]

6k armour is gonna feel better than nothing, would just run that and save your fingers the hassle of an extra button

[dusk sable]

I have CI so only ignite is a problem

[dusk sable]

I wanted to know if i needed it, i wanted to use all 3 djinns, just for fun.

If i don't really need it i'll just use something else.

[dusk sable]

But yeah, it'll take longer to deplete my es while fighting a lot of weak enemies.

[meager pond]

Do most people copy builds? I'm having a hard time figuring out what direction I wanna head in at level 78

[quartz cradle]

Copy is a strong word, but yes

[sweet wyvern]

follow build guides

[quartz cradle]

you don't want to blindly trust every build out there but if you can find the creator still playing actively, or with a large collection of VODs, it's a good bet that their build is solid

Someone like kaidgames on YouTube is just half ai slop and half bait to get you to spend money on in-game currency

[dusk sable]

It's good to look at what someone is building to learn, you can copy, but in the end it'll be you who plays it, you can change things if you feel like it

I was asking around because i didn't really want to follow a guide i was following.

[meager pond]

ok thanks

[random wedge]

Is there a way to guess which map may dissipate the fog over an Anomoly map in Atlas?? Sometime doing a single map can open up the map, other times I have had to do more than 5 maps to get access.

[sweet herald]

Does CI count as low life?

[copper raft]

No.

You are always on full life.

[winged slate]

Hey im really struggling with axt 2 boss. Any advice?

[potent karma]

make sure your resists are capped. specifically fire and lightning

[potent karma]

each anomoly has its own requiremts you can look them up. they are not all the same

[winged slate]

I dont know what this means

[potent karma]

um... are you new? might be rough to explain if you are new but i can try

[potent karma]

You have elemental resists on your items. without getting technical they decrease the amount of incoming damage of that element... for example if you are hit with fire... the higher your fire resist is the less damage you take.. lets just keep it simple for now. you have 3 elemental resists... fire cold and lightning. each enemy can do one... multiple or none of these. The boss you are fighting if i havent lost my marbles is Jamanra. ok so soft cap for each resist is 75%. you can get these resists on rings amulets etc.

they are particularly important for the bosses and arguably for some mobs.

the better you get at the game the less it matters but for beginners resits are important as you learn the mechanics of the mobs/bosses

at the end of each act you will lose a portion of gained resists. so you will need to constantly upgrade your gear throughout the acts so dont try to min max. just keep it simple. once you finish the campaign you can worry about top tier gear

[junior hornet]

you can also add resistance runes

[potent karma]

https://youtu.be/qsnj3QJBxs0?si=Hd6qCAFOxFBHsq-N

[potent karma]

i think they are new. trying to keep it simple

[junior hornet]

runes are very basic

you should use them when you have them, you will find higher tier runes as you progress

[potent karma]

they may be basic but when i told them to cap their resists. they said they didnt know what that means

so as i said. simple

resists come on items. you dont have to add them. im explaining the basic concept

not crafting

anyways. hope the info helps @winged slate

[proper cove]

Can you use Rathpit with Lich's eternal life?

[quartz cradle]

If you can't pay the cost you can't cast the spell

[fossil forge]

You probably want to be in #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help

[tawdry trail]

Hey guys, bit of a random ask 😅

I’ve been watching PoE2 videos and really want to try it out. I’ve never played any Path of Exile game before, so I’m basically starting from zero here.

If anyone happens to have an extra early access key lying around, I’d really appreciate it 🙏 I can’t afford the pack right now, so just trying my luck.

Honestly I’m also hoping to find some people to play with because I’m totally new and probably going to be lost most of the time 😂 even joined a Discord just to ask around, I’m kinda that deep already.

No worries at all if not — just thought I’d ask. Thanks for reading

[fossil forge]

We don't do giveaways and asking for handouts is explicitly against the server rules. But if you happen to get access, you want #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help for help. POE1 is also totally free and is still receiving content and updates.

[arctic crag]

~~and some people say it is still better than poe2 ~~

[short jay]

hi, is increased light radius a good stat?

and will increased cast speed have any effect on my ranger shoting arrows?

[fossil forge]

Cast speed is for spells, attack speed is for attacks, skill speed is for both. If you're new you want to be in #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help

[short jay]

I was just thinking if cast speed helps skills like lightning rod or something to cast faster

[bitter jewel]

lightning rod is a bow attack, it doesn't have a cast time. In PoE "cast" is specifically a reference to spells

In general, martial skills attack and spell skills cast

[fossil forge]

No, that's why I made the distinction between spells and attacks. It says attack on the gem.

[safe lynx]

1000% on hollow palm martial artist now

[strange vortex]

More like PotCG howa

[heavy knot]

Skills that meet this requirement use the term "Final Strike" to refer to the last hit of their combo. This includes basic Melee Attacks.

This is the description for final strike keyword stuff, but what does that last line mean? I don't get why it's included. Does that mean if you do at least 2 basic attacks, the second strike is considered a final strike if you don't hold or tap the button anymore?

[sweet wyvern]

it means that basic melee attacks have a 'final strike'

[past coyote]

Hey!
Selfless Remnants support was bugged in the past, but I do not know HOW exactly it was bugged. I only know that it didn't work on Chayula Monk, which will be fixed in the coming league.
But did they work on other stuff? And if yes, did Remnant effect apply to whoever was actually receiving the remnant?

[quartz cradle]

I was using selfless remnants as a minion Bloodmage only when playing duo with an Amazon friend who was refusing to use the overflow body armour 😅

The bug is that life remnants affect ally Players, but not minions. This means the bug fix is actually a nerf for our niche setup, as my minions would be yoinking the remnants.

maybe it will still give full remnants to all entities instead of choosing some 🤔

Thankfully I don't plan on doing that again anyway

[past coyote]

I just tested it ingame with the armour and a guy from global. It appears to be working! As in Remnant effect does also increase the life he was getting.

I am very happy.

[random wedge]

There is a very useful link on POE2DB for Anomoly maps (https://poe2db.tw/Anomaly_Map#AnomalyMap_Markdown2) showing all possible drops. Is there such a page for Citadels?? I can't find one. There are some guides, but they aren't clear on which type of Citadel drops what type of Fragment and other loot.

[vague dove]

i finished a djin barya with additional ascendancy points but i didnt receive it

[fickle chasm]

Can you be specific like if it’s your second or thirds ascendency

Since you need complete diff number of trials to get ascendency points

[vague dove]

im on my 3rd but didnt give me points should i do it again?

i did one of this

but lower lvl 68

[fickle chasm]

Hmm can you check your skill tree if you already have it

[vague dove]

i still got 4 ascendary ill just try it again

i can skip 3 then go straight 4 right?

this will give me 4 points right

[fickle chasm]

no you’ll only get 2

[compact linden]

Dont forget that after the first bunch of chest appear you need to go further into the dungeon.

As it said number of trials: 4

[vague dove]

im now on this clock thing ._. i dont know what to do

now i get it

[past coyote]

Does anyone know if Fulmination damage counts as me hitting someone?

https://poe2db.tw/us/Fulmination

Or does it still count as the hit of whoever did the initial damage?

[vague dove]

._. lost to last boss didnt know wtf happen

[odd imp]

Is there an easy website for seeing all the cultivated uniques mods?

Other than just cliking on POE2DB

found it

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

[gilded cipher]

If you have a martial weapon and use an attack skill that converts x% physical to elemental, should you use physical or elemental sockets if you are scaling elemental in tree and supports?

[fossil forge]

You mean for runes?

[gilded cipher]

yessir

[fossil forge]

If its converting the physical on the weapon to elemental, you want more physical usually.

Because runes increase the pre-conversion value since they're local to the weapon.

Whereas passives on the tree apply to whatever damage the skill does after conversions.

[gilded cipher]

got it, thank you

[quartz wolf]

did we ever find out in a QnA or anything like that if the genesis tree is affected by rarity?

or more specifically negative rarity?

like if I wanted to farm normal versions of new amulet bases is that gonna be possible?

[peak cave]

Where is the corrupted biome?

And danning, to do those two last quests

What do i put in the slots in mapping? And how come 2+ way points makes them disappear? 🤔

[copper raft]

Rarity is an on kill effect.

[clever sand]

Does Soul Mantle's "Inflicts a random Curse on you when your Totems die, ignoring Curse limit" also have infinite duration when I have Lich's "Incessant Cacophony" (Curses you inflict have infinite Duration) ?

[sweet herald]

Is this Conduit gonna share my charge to ALL of the party members?

Or only one of them?

[fossil forge]

All allies as long as they're close enough.

[sweet herald]

About this unique ring, does it stack?

I ask AI and its said not

Only Allies HAVE stack, GAIN is not stackable?

[fossil forge]

You mean two of them? I don't see why not but it also gives enemies a lot of damage.

[sweet herald]

Yeah I go CI so

[fossil forge]

Don't trust AI for POE questions.

[sweet herald]

Oh ok, maybe test it out in the real game

Ty bro

[rustic canyon]

Do you know if increased Damage against Enemies with Fully Broken Armour on mace scales with Shield skills like resonating shield or shield wall? Thanks

[bitter jewel]

broken armour is a debuff applied to the monster, so it should apply for any skill that's dealing phys damage to it.

[buoyant depot]

If i'm using eternal youth and have some life cost, will it permanently reset life recharge ?

[strange vortex]

Is frostdarts a viable option for singletarget? What other spells would be good for singletarget that isnt triggered, doesnt require decreased duration (fusilade without decreased duration numbers only)? Especially if i have 400 projspeed (that is converted to 400% inc with proj3 support)?

Would selfcast comet still compete?

[restive belfry]

Ever find out the answer to this?

[clever sand]

According to some reddit post it does not affect soul mantle curse duration.

[hollow junco]

I am level 73 and have put most of my gear on that has + maximum mana but im only sitting at 515
I run out after using 3 skills
What am I doing wrong?
Also I haven’t been leveling up at all and I am going through so many mapping zone things ?

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/ORICOLECOS-9609/standard/character/ORACOLE

[quartz cradle]

Read what your unique body armour does. Not many people use that on non minion builds

Movement speed on boots is pretty important, mobility is both offense and defense

Check out some other passive trees on Poeninja, they will look similar to yours but more efficient. Too many closed loops and some wasted skill points as well. I think 5-10 points could be freed up

Playing on standard is also a choice... Most go for the recent "league" which happens to be fare of the vaal. 5 days and we will have the next league, runes of aldur.

[hollow junco]

Ok so I don’t want to be that guy but is there someone out there that can fix up my whole build ? For payment obviously

Cause frankly I don’t have a clue what I’m doing here and the lore is to deep for the amount I play

[strange vortex]

I also dont want to be that guy, but maybe the game isnt for you if you want someone else to basically do half the game for you? Gearing is a core part of poe

I could strongly recommend just following a build guide 1:1 but youd still have to understand the gearing process to follow it

[hollow junco]

I understand what you’re saying but I also don’t really have the time to go that deep into the whole thing as I just play the game for pure enjoyment however that enjoyment is decreasing because of the amount of input you have to use for the game

[gaunt creek]

maxroll , mobalytics are great for build guides, youtubers like zizaran put a lot of guides before the league start too

you could take a look at this https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/lunar-assault-werewolf-oracle-build-guide

[short jay]

ah dang. During 4th ascendancy run, got a POE2 not responding message right at killing the double boss.

Had some water saved up to gear up. Now going back in, i have missed opportunity to spend water and use keys.. :/

pretty solid run this far. Now it feels like a major affliction that i received.

[dapper spear]

Starting on Friday you will be able to connect your game with a build guide so you won't have to switch back and forth anymore.

[random wedge]

Among Atziri's Splendour Sacrificial Regalia armour variants, which is more valuable (all else being the same) - Helmet, Gloves or Boots??

[kind cypress]

how do you effectively farm lower level uniques ? like 14-40~

if there is a way

[strange vortex]

Whichever can slot in %mana soulcores. Helmet can, i think others cant

[strange vortex]

In 0.5, thatd be ritual. Uniques with skills you cant really, because the required lvl would be your zone lvl cuz skill lvl it drops with, so youd need to run random campaign maps with rarity on gear. Maybe we can reset and farm freythorn

[kind cypress]

forgot about ritual change oops

hopefully it can be reset bc the new bow starts to drop its chance base in freythorn

[strange vortex]

Nvm bow i want lifesprig

[kind cypress]

would be cool to be able to use it for once lol

[hexed jasper]

Anyone help me?

I'm looking to get my 4th ascendancy I'm willing to pay

[viscid epoch]

In the tavern talk interview, they mentioned adding a recipe/some way to easily get a lvl 20 skill

Nvm, just saw you were replying to someone who wants a lower level. Maybe that will be added too

"Crafting methods that puts a single guaranteed modifier on an item now adds it as a crafted modifier, items can only have a single crafted modifier on an item." AM I tripping or does this include essence mods and would this make crafting almost awful?

[glossy wigeon]

do you get more xp for activating all checkpoints in a map?

[balmy lark]

No

[glossy wigeon]

Is there a way to play without crafting and just buying better gear when you can? For example, if i like to grind breach, can i make money with that somehow and just buy better gear?

this is exactly how I have played the game since it came out 😉
