#2┃build-planning
1 messages · Page 49 of 1
Hello, could someone spend a little time to check my build? I'm starting Act 3 and idk if it's because there are a lot of mobs but I feel my damage a bit meh but not super bad. I would like to know mostly where to path in the passive tree and tips for gems combinations. I'm a Sorc Stormweaver trying to do a mana stacker for Archmage with Arc and shocks
I have no idea, but based on wording alone I'd wager the hit that heavy stuns an enemy will not gain the 40% more
any blood mages who could tell me if its worth removing all my ascendies, i'm lvl 47 !
yhhh sounds like it, bummer
Whenever after the actual effect is applied would be my guess, I haven't seen one in game yet so I can't say my actual assumption
that would mean that dmg increase only applies when an enemy is on the floor for like a second or two, not that good ?
I mean. Depends on how often you can make them be on the floor and what node you'd take instead
Lol some training dummies could be cool to test damage
is arcane surge additive to other sources of mana regen, or is it multiplicative?
Guys I am a monk and have Cast on Shock, i have 95 spirit available and it's saying it reserves 60, and when trying to activate it's saying not enough spirit - what am I missing here?
If it says increased, additive
More = multiplicative
Based one my reading of the wording it actually replaces mana entirely so mana regen shouldnt affect it unless explicitly stated
So, is there any kind of "Plant Magic" coming to the game? Like, summoning roots and vines or something? I know there's a Druid, but it seemed they just transformed into animals and used the usual Lightning and Wind stuff
well then... kinda weak lol
We don't know
Did they nerf ignite duration ?
I could be wrong though, this is a new thing
Compared to what?
Yeh but the infernal flame scales with max mana, so I assume mana regen could make it drop faster
itemization
Is there a way to see all current active and support gems in Poe 2
well, they get knocked down in 1 - 2 hits and die shortly after so idk doesnt seem that good. Cos even if they have lots of life, theres a stun cooldown isnt there? i noticed mobs have a red bar after i stun em that dont let me stun em again
Like if i had 500 mana, I have 500 infernal flame
My other choice would be an aftershock that literally doubles the dmg,
I don't think there is a cooldown, but mobs are harder to heavy stun in rapid succession, I think
i suppose if players are going for the ics it isn't bad
Idk il test myself somehow lol ty anyways
Guys I am a monk and have Cast on Shock(no support gems at all), i have 95 spirit available and it's saying it reserves 60, and when trying to activate it's saying not enough spirit - what am I missing here?
Interesting
Try it on then slap on some mana regen and see if it passively goes up
ah i see, i guess that red bar is more like a stun resistance
thank you!
You need to put at least one spell in to activate it
thanks!
I would wager it wouldn't, as that seems counter-intuitive but I've been wrong in the past lol
Yeh I'm hoping it makes it go down faster because once it's full I take a tonne of damage lol even with 140% fire res
Ye il do some testing
Hey, "x% increased elemental damage with attacks" vs flat elemental damage in sockets on weapons, what should i prefer?
That cant be right lol
hey all - does anyone know if dark effigy scales with multiple instances of poison by any chance? trying to test right now for a build i'm thinking off but i'm really not sure
Coz i just chucked on all the fire res gear i saved lol
Yeah you only effectively have 75% there
75 is the cap
You can increase the cap through the tree, some items, etc
Yeye
You'll want increase max fire resistance to mitigate more of that damage
My bad, poor noob wording lol
Np
Next support gem socket I get I was going to test this exact thing, but I don't see why it wouldn't work
oof the gas grenade damage
Follow up, did 200 slams with all 38% extra shockwave passives. Results are 74 Double shockwaves and 126 Single shockwaves. So 37%, which is real close to target. I do think they stack
my clear
Depends entirely on a lot of things
Hm, so the tooltip may be bugged or you're really lucky
hello. 👋
has anyone tried or built Chayula Monk with Chaos Inoculation node?
How it works? is it viable with Occultist Curses and Spells?
yeah i'm trying with comorbidity but's super hard to tell as i need 1 spell to trigger it nitially
I'll get back to you in like 2 weeks
The bow already has 2-61 lightening dmg, and i am doing a lightening build. The 30% is only boosting the elemental damage on the bow, i suppose? and not my total output
Depends on the skill you're using
I'd wager flat is better in this case as a general guess but if you have more info I could make a better guess
LA, ligthening rod + magnetic salvo
Hmm thats a hard one, WED might be better
That's a path of building question lol
Trust your gut
It'll be an increase either way
POE scrub reporting in
anyone else feels like Sorceress is being forced to use shock + flame walls? feels like other builds are super inferior to it
Nope
Just an easy way to get thru early game
The more things change the more they stay the same
What support skills should I put on raging spirits?
I'd bet the recommended ones are fine
I went with flat
You'll want to scale attack dmg on them, but I'm not sure of the differences in PoE1 srs vs PoE2 yet
any1 having an insane phys monk staff weapon for sale?
did they do something with auto targeting and snapping to targets? my monk lost few braincells from yesterday it seems
Where can i see crit chance and how does crit chance above 100% work?
my chewckpoint in rust king broke so it wont spawn me at bos lol
which res charm from flinn after cultist boss will be most useful in the rest of act 1 and into act 2
lightning, cold, or fire res
And it would be located in the skill detailed menu itself
thanks
Okay, thank you
Hey guys quick question
Open skill window then click the little right facing arrow where the dps box would be
Why does my poison cloud deal less damage with chaos infusion? Is poison not chaos damage?
does skeleton archer do more damage than skeleton mage on single target?
Im a ARPG dummy. Any suggestions on how to build my ranger? I went in on lightning arrow and lightning rod but it doesn't feel very optimal.
Whatever you don't have, I'm sure there's a more specific answer but you'd have to check all the mob types through act1 and act 2 to see
Even deadly poison lowers the damage value of posion cloud? Wtf?
Is this the right chat to ask this in btw?
Fair point @still rock I do already have a cold charm so ill grab fire or lightning
Thanks
poison is based on phys+chaos so you'r reducing your phys enough to be a net negative
^
So to increase my poison damage i should just go full phys?
Gas Arrow's cloud dps is based on your attack damage %, which is unlike other debuffs similar to this. This means Chaos Infusion is reducing your phys damage coming into the attack and it's lowering the initial scaling of the DPS enough that it is a net loss
thats an option. phys is certainly easier to get on a weapon. just take whatever offers the highest total damage of phys+chaos
Also DoTs dont get "Gain % as extra" so it does nothing anyways
only the hits does
So then is deadly poison just a worthless support gem?
how do you build around that ? just got it
Which, the wording on this skill is kinda messy and already has brought up some weird interactions brought up earlier today what gets counted in the "fake hit" of the skill, but trust the numbers and just scale the intial attack % value if you want the gas cloud dps to be higher
Just crafted this weapon as soon this the base became available, it increased my DPS by a clean 1000, probably even more on perhit
Blood magic I'd guess
But doesn't seem great
If I wanna blast primarily with Crossbow, (Grenades are fine for support), is Deadeye, Gemling, or Witchhunter best?
Can you use a mace with a focus
yall what % of resistances is good on gear?
I think? I haven't tried lol
I'd assume it just counts as a shield with no block value
Hopefully
cap (75%)
Or do you mean specific pieces of gear?
specific pieces
That depends on what item type it is and what ilvl it is
does general critical strike chance from passive nodes also include critical strike chance for spells?
Hold alt to find ilvl
If it doesn't specify attack or spell then yes
k cool
im looking for lv50+ gears for infernalist minion build, is like 10-20% good for each gear
blood magic removes your mana entirely so that would negate the entire item
Oh good point lol
Forgot about that part
Is this good for a frost storm weaver? I really think it’s good but not sure if it’s worth trading intelligence for dexterity
its just for mana stacking non-mom builds. use your mana for regen isntead of hp
has anyone gotten blood mage arc/spark working? I am currently just using a normal north-bound passive tree and am struggling on viper in act3, feels like my dps a bit low
is it strong ?
build online 2 million per hour
ilvl 50ish gear max roll is like 30% res, so go from there
20% is fine
its probably okay if you commit to it, but if your build is not set up properly you'll end up with both no hp and no mana
what the f is ranger skill tree btw?
like there is basically no dmg
currently using arcane tempo, acceleration and arcane surge on spark. I have unleash and lightning pen on spark and have room for one more support there. I have around 21% crit
??? there's loads of damage what do you mean
Search for projectile dmg
on the top right
thoughts on deadeye vs withc hunter for crossbow builds?
If I wanna full auto blast either with bow or crossbow, like full auto shotgun blasting
witchhunter for "shotgun" type attacks, deadeye for "rifle" type
what's the best way to go about that?
witch hunter is best
No this isn't great even if you are using the attack portion, it's like a cheapie throaway unique you might use on a attack character if you had nothing else
do we need to mix and match the defensive stats on gear (armor / ES / evasion)?
I'm playing sorceress so idk if i should just be stacking as much ES as I can or what
do raging spirits aura have "hp"?
alright tysm
i see
is there a place i can just look up what each of the abilities looks like
like every active skill
is there any writing guide regarding essence drain contagion?
when do you get lvl 2 support gems btw
ty super helpful
like what lvl do they start dropping
in the game, if you hover over the gem in the gemcutting menu it plays a video of the ability in action
Around act 3 iirc
is the % bonus from + level to skills the same as any other % bonus i get? like level 11 sunder is 284% vs level 14 being 346%, so if i get 62% phys damage is it the same as this?
maybe end of act 2 ish i dont remember exactly
got a near lvl 40 witch hunter on their but im still looking 😔
it wouldnt show me it for skills i cant cut
or cant use rn
and i was hopign to see it for different classes etc
Really messy question, what two scenarios are you comparing here?
yea I hope they adjust the drop rates on some of these things
+3 to melee skills vs getting 63+ phys damage on weapon
to be precise +3 to melee skills vs say 110% phys damage
Hmm, no it's not the same
Can anyone confirm if I make an alt and kill the boss that gives the first uncut spirit gem I can trade that to my other character that needs it?
110 might be different
Depends on how much multiplicative you have as well
Lots of factors to compare
aight, but its not the same because the + 3 melee skills is multiplicative over total damage and the increased phys gets added to the bucket with other % increased damage?
thats fine, im just trying to understand the mechanics here
I'm confused, is ascendancy 3/4 even in the game? Or can you just not get it from Sanctum?
Long story short: the gem level will affect the end portion of the damage, but your increase to phys dmg % gets added with other increased to phys dmg % before your multiplicative modifiers, so at a certain amt of % multiplicative could be better than the gem levels
gotcha thats what i wanted to know, thank you!
I'm reading you have to have a high enough tier of the key, but I'm not there yet so I can't confirm personally
is there a good way to know/calculate how your dps will change
with specific item replacements etc
short of actually buying and trying it on
Depends on the change, sometimes it's too complicated which is why we have PoB in PoE1
i just really suck at math
Sometimes it's an easy test
Is there a good Crossbow or Bow build that I can really blast with that isn’t Grenades or Lightning Rod spam?
sometimes i see a base item in vendor
and have no clue if it would be an upgrade
worth trying to slam
but im also 10 iq
What are the best ascendancy point options for a gemling legionnare strength stacker (giant's blood)?
In general is the tooltip accurate? Lots of my weapons say the +3 gem skills is a lower dps to my other weapons
Trial and error is part of the game don't be scared to use some currency to learn at first, but also good to check the affix pool of whatever item you want to slam via (https://poe2db.tw/us/Modifiers) so you know what the potential outcomes are

Wdym by weapons
Any potent chaos degen witch builds ?
doe ragin spirits aura cant explode w/ minion instability?
Idk not many people are playing Gemli rn, it seems to be more of an endgame ascendancy with weird niche roles
the 3rd acsendency is available on the EA right ?
Only 2 per class atm
What's your goal?? If you wana be a tank sorceress yeah go for it. I'm lvl 23 and I have 800 ES with 196 hp. And still doing decent damage.
?
Can anyone confirm if I make an alt and kill the boss that gives the first uncut spirit gem I can trade that to my other character that needs it?
the 3rd trial i mean
I'm 98% sure the 3rd and 4th ascendancy point aren't available
idk if i have a goal tbh. just wondering lets say i have 3 armor pieces with the exact same modifiers, but one has ES , another has armor and the last has evasion. which one do I wear?
I've done a 3 floor Sanctum and didn't get one
It's possible that it's only available from Ultimatum but lmao who can actually do a 7 trial ultimatum
Oh lmao, no idea sorry. I've read people saying in here that you need a certain amt of floors but I have no personal experience there yet
Don't know if they're just repeating what others are saying or have actually done it
okay ty for info
it does not count as death
No reason to think that wouldn't work
Whichever has more life and caps your resistances
If you're already at that point then whichever defense you are scaling on your tree
are there any nodes that make ES to recharge faster or just keep recharging while you're getting hit?
i suck at dodging so on boss fights my ES hardly ever charges back to full
What is better Cold damage or spell damage? % wise?
There's loads of faster recharge rate, open passive tree and type in recharge on the search bar
Effectively the same
Unless you're also dealing some portion of non-cold spell damage and then spell dmg is better
Depends on who your fighting, chaos damage is doubled on ES, but that's the only damage type that shreds energy shield. It's not bad to mix all three, but if your doing exp runs I've been focusing ES.
can spells granted by a weapon be triggered with meta gems?
I’m reading online that mana leech is bugged rn
is there any need for build panning? like cna i just play through the game and then respec everything once i figure it out
Does anyone have the math on how negative armor actually scales? I'd love to actually know how much damage it adds.
A couple of questions, does anyone have a good number of mana for MoM as a defensive layer. Second question how much es is enough for it to not feel like you die infinitely.
No, make a plan don’t do random stuff
In act 4 do i need to kill any of the noirmal bosses? cant i just skip them
Does that 3% dmg boost apply to temporary minions as well or just the main respawnable/spirit minions
well its not random stuff... at least i think
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtIf8723oM0
Just had this messaged to me
Seems messy
Hopefully they fix soon
ty man ❤️
AFAIK no, you cant seem to move it
I tried earlier today
is there a node that reduces the 4 second delay on energy shield regen?
And the trigger gem wont fit inside of the weapon's support socket slots
Is there a list/website that displays the tiers of stats you can roll on gear?
does anyone else sometimes get random crashes?
is this any good? my friend found it and Im wondering if I should get it
this is what im wearing now
No it's a niche item that you'd have to build around, and most likely won't be used at all
ok great, I was actually reading the description in game but didn't get it till you said it lol
I see I see

Only note here is that foci are considered int shields for the purposes of this page
oh wait, that's the rate of recharge AFTER the 4 seconds. Looking to lower the 4 seconds itself
Thank you
You want "faster start of Energy Shield Recharge"
What you're referencing with the speed the ES fills back up once the recharge begins is called "Energy Shield Recharge Rate"
how much gold would it be to respec my whole build once im max?
Probably a shit ton
too much
on Sroc does the weapon base effect the cast speed of spells. like staff vs wand
No
Base cast speed of each spell is static
Inc % cast speed affects that number but doesnt matter if its on a wand or staff etc
doesnt change the fact that if im not happy with my build i can just respec everything right?
got it thanks
Has anyone made chayula monk work? My end goal is chaos+phys unarmed but im getting my ass kicked act 3 rn and lowkey regretting my ascension. If it's not worth it im swapping ot mercenary
also why does spell echo not work with most spells. does nto make sense. like why does it not work on spark?
Might be expensive enough that its worth rerolling
Spell Echo only affects spells that have an area
What does this refer to ? Is it defensive or offensive ?
wym rerolling
i.e. "AoE" tag
making a new toon
Is this not as good as it looks
new character?
Is supercharged spam for warrior just trash now
can u retry this if i fail? (its my first time at this trial)
Defensive, it increases your threshold for being affected by elemental ailments
i think the living bomb spell is pretty bad but the other stats are okay if you're a fire/ignite caster. not a GG item but pretty good until you get a great rare
Good leveling staff but you'll want a rare with + spell levels eventually
guys why is my plague nove not activating?
thanks
Plague bearer?
what support gems to comet?
Quarterstaffs specifically
wait does the ignite charm just completely counteract immolation?
im currently leveling sorc with spark. but this node on the tree. does this mean sprak has a chanc eto chain to another mob?
for infernalist?
Is Mana remnants a good option for lightning sorcerer, or perhaps I should I get firewall and do summon raging spirits?
cyea sorry dead
You have to actually activate it
It basically acts as a chance to pierce, since Spark moves randomly even after chaining
yea, i press it and it does nothing
Are you dealing poison damage to build up the buff?
wait this sounds like id drop my inventory if i die, thats not right, right? its the same as the other trial no?
Depends on a lot of things whether or not + melee skills is better or worse than other modifiers, would need a ton more info
yea
Do you have the buff toggled on in your skill window?
but it would indeed potentially cause spark to chain. in POE1 i remember spark could not chain because it pierced.
then the question is chain or pierce better for spark
Right click the skill from the skill window
anyone know if u drop your gear when u fail this trial? im itchin to go
wdym
hi, anyone can tell me if blood mage takes life directly or, if you have ES, takes ES first?
Can someone please help me with ailment application, is there any way to shock on eye of winter or is it straight up not possible outside of shocked ground?
I was thinking elemental conversion? archmage doesnt help.
this but imagine its plague bearer instead
this is #2┃build-planning try #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help or something
oh ty xd
Life is a separate resource than ES in this case so it removes your life but keeps the ES intact
AFAIK
Did you ever get an answer to this. Because I'm curious too
https://poe2db.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/
Is the only one so far I've seen even if it's not optimal for me (better than nothing)
Thanks
ait, so chaos inoculation is a nono. Atm thinking which defensive way to go in my hex witch. Ty
Shaper of Storms
IIRC from PoE1 interactions you'll literally kill yourself with CI and Blood Magic
which is funny
Heya, quick question, is a quarterstaff a staff? As in, does it count for "One with the River"
Basically tooltips says dps is 550 with right quarterstaf and 490 with left. I don't understand how, is it from the lightning damage? I am lightning invoker atm
It doesnt apply shock it just contributes to shock calculation.
Playing Titan, is there any no brainer unique that fit the class to go for when mapping?
there is not a really viable ascendancy for a hexblast witch, Wonder how would interact with mind over matter
Would imagine so
maxroll
Does "more flash charges gained" apply to passive charge gain?
https://i.imgur.com/yMEKWtz.png
i still need to source it within the spell but it cant cause i dont have shcoked ground :/
since is "cost" and not "damage", i dont think will do anything
Yeah we are playing an incomplete game rn, good to keep in mind. Use whatever the best option is for defensives because there isn't a curse related ascendancy yet
is there a wayy to increase the tier of rolled stats on weapons
are Focus (off-hand) sockets considered weapons? what should I put in there for minions lol
So the way melee gem levels work is that your actual damage is a % of your weapon's damage, so you are increasing the % value, e.g. 100% ->120%, etc.
Your item on the right has a much higher weapon damage so it will do more damage even with a smaller % from the difference in gem levels
anyone please, what currency is about half an exalt? or which one is right under the exalt in terms of rarity
what venom draught should i take as monk?
What classes are fun rn
I’m struggling without a good build to follow
Followed one for lightning Rod/arrow but I don’t like the feel yet
guess i will go the hp - crit route
Anyone know how to get ascendency passives completely?
This is opinion-based. I suggest utilizing respecs and trying a variety of weapons/skills.
Im working my way through some classes right now. Cold sorc has been a lot of fun if you like that fantasy
attribute requirement is TOUGH to try offclass skills, I was thinking maybe my titan could like some monk skill but nah...
I created a gemling legionnaire specifically for this reason
Ok thank you
right now loving giant's blood and mace skills
in endgame I think it's fine though you'll have way more attribute
Anyone got options to make fireball sorc stronger? I am thinking about trying to run it through a fortress flame wall circle
Also true
I saw that monks have slam skills, I wanted to try some war cry aftershock slam monk stuff xD
is there any way to see locked skills without right clicking on a skill gem?
Shocked ground is just a static % of shock, regardless of any of the examples here.
Shaper of Storms makes all types of your hit damage able to inflict Shock magnitude, but you still need a small amt of lightning damage in that hit to source the chance to shock. So you need like archmage or some form of conversion from cold to lightning, or added lightning damage to spells in some form.
But then the entire sum of that hit is calculated for the magnitude of the shock, so it is effectively giving a much higher shock value than it would without Shaper of Storms
Theory Crafting Time: As Frost Sorc I'm not sure what would be better...
I'm not sure what is better:
https://poe2db.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/AAAABgcBS_0VMMjAJSKjEoNJnQbbo-3H8Fcqcz6NzlklDu_rRt5n4W6FCufwPmGgqV8SvcUhqJ9P0teB5tdASrW24-fiwWgL0RTCcVHv66LFrafOP-xjo_RN87iml0yPrgR_EBESE287jDjZdGPVuopbn8JMD9sojlXg79s4bjeXuP-eBakRyt5YuU0KFzBXp2INy-fcWaiD6PQMqgAA
vs
that sounds really fun
Should be chaos, whatever the rate for chaos to ex is then half that
The power fantasy I have is wanting to full auto shotgun the map with some elements. Bonus if I can include like some auto casts in there as well
I have 30 slots for every gem type. I can try out your theory for you and report back, if you want?
titan is really based around slams and stuns and yeah monks have stun/slam related things
you would kinda need a good weapon to stun, lot of attribute so you can use seismic cry (it's broken)
@grizzled violetwhen i use seismic cry on a target that is stunned my next two slams skills have double dmg
anyone playing bomb witch hunter? wondering how the poison nerf effected it and what your using now
wanna build a lightning sorc but im unsure how I can find all the spirit required for the herald of thunder and archmage, I can only get spirit from gear or is there a weapon type that gives spirit?
I'm starting to get some issues with mana in Act 5, is there any way to gain Mana leech outside of Soul Thief ?
Sceptre but then you'd be losing on on potential damage affix increases from your weapon
There's a weapon type, but it can only roll ally buff mods, Chest and Amulet can roll up to 50 spirit each, and Acts give you 100 spirits total
ohhh ok ok, thanks for that, kinda sucks that I would have to roll spirit on both chest and amulet but I will try to figure it out 😛
anyone know if exposure is calculated before or after Pen? since pen cant go negative, if Exposure is calc'd first then i might just drop every pen node lol
Soul Drain on something that can cull, I haven't used it but might just slot it in for lightning warp once I get there if I'm still having mana issues
Simple example I wrote there
Cull only happen on low life tho no?
I just increased critical strike chance on my passive tree but its still at 9% in my skill window
does this give me leech on its own or do i need a weapon that has leeching too?
damn, pen kinda shitty then
Yeah, so it's a mana on kill
You need a leech source
anyone knows why?
Effectively yes, so useless on bosses
i cant find one on the passive, is it only from gear and supports?
I think ye, Bloodmage have spellleech as a an ascendancy passive, but that's all
that 30% increase defence while weilding a staff is that suppose to be quarterstaves?
what are the best spells for cast on ignite?
why is arc not included here? its supposed to be a spell
#2┃build-planning message Imagine this says spell instead of attack
ended up taking off bloodmage ascendancy, its a hinderance without second tier
No, click my example and then imagine I'm talking about spell instead of attack lol
yeah i know
How do you see that?
when i press shift ti shows the dps icnrease of skills
but arc is not there
gotcha, thanks
hi guys! I have a question; If skill transforms 80% phys dmg as fire damage, does this scale the fire damage?
does anyone here know what item grants the skill "reap"? poe2db shows it as an uncuttable skill
im just confused because its not registering as a dps increase
yes
notably in poe2 phys damage will only apply to 20% of the skill now
please tell me the skill desecrate exist in poe2... ?
it doesnt

If your base crit chance is 9%, a 16% increase without any other crit increases is effectively 0% because it's only 0.144% additive to your 9%
(9*0.016=0.144, 9+0.144=9.144) You are rounded down to 9%
playing dd right now, the skill is insane but actually balanced for clear because of that
u arent sure if its balanced until u get nerfed
usually yes, everything rounds down
how do you deal damages to bosses ?
but it should be more than that
Yep AFAIK rounding is always against the player
yes this is 1.6%
its wrong math
you need 9 * 0.16
ember fussilade, solar orb, flammability, flame wall
it sucks we can't see video of other classes' skill
going avatar of fire and scaling fire damage with a +4 staff
16% of 10 is more than 1, 16% of 9 is more than 1, its not difficult
You said 16% is 0.016, not 0.16
0.16*9=1.44
Ah my bad I'm tired
We've been playing since release, NO SLEEP GANG
here.
im now in act 4. how do I get more spirit? only on gear? because im lvl 48 and only have 60 spirit
Click on the right facing arrow next to the dps window
is daze even in the game? how do i build it up
When you hover over the skill like that it just shows you the base crit chance
Does anyone know if Life Leech counts as "regeneration"?
it doesnt
i turned in the quest for ascencion but i cant find the trials?
Awww, lame, ty!
Brand new to POE and don’t wanna just copy someone’s build- anyone have general build advice for new players?
Is nazirs judgement good asf or terrible asf can't tell
dont get discouraged by failure, if you wanna make your own way you're gonna get your butt kicked while you learn the game. For a long time probably
Dunno why it didnt show up on the shift thing, I haven't been using that much maybe it's buggy
Trying to find a Keystone that works with bloodmage bone builds, I can't find any that work well.
Does cast speed affects storm wave and tempest fury for monk?
How are Monk Players feeling about Elemental Expression? I can't really figure out if it helps my DPS alot. With the bell and other shenanigans it's hard to figure out if it's contributing.
read skills, read passives, ask questions
Haha well that’s the fun of it 😂
Is it more about picking a skill or two to build around?
No, cast speed only affects spells
Got it thanks so the one that affects mine is skill speed
I was thinking sorc, and later down the road play as chronomancer. Is there any good guides as to how I should build?
Skill speed affects everything, attack speed should be the more specific one
🤔
Ahh gotcha
Skill speed still helps tho
It's additive with attack speed
so 10% skill speed + 10% attack speed = 20% increase speed to the attack animation
you can pick a skill to build around, a unique, a passive tree keystone etc. There's a few different ways to approach it
She appears slighter after the start, you save her or something
Ew
Sounds hard to build around, idk how you mitigate the resistance loss that's harsh
sounds strong though, if only we could mitigate the downside
Is Ranger cooked if I hate Lightning Rod and Gas Grenade
My 75 resistances is only thing I've felt keeps me alive at all 🤣
Couldn't pay me to use that helmet
ty must not have found her yet
is anyone doing a good fire/ignite build?
is having more types of damage per weapon a good or bad thing?
depends on what you mean, gain as extra X is pretty much just free damage yeah
Depends on the attack skill and if youre trying to do specific elemental ailments, in general while leveling the dmg # higher is better so just focus on that for now
Anyone knows if it's possible to use 2 or more heralds together?
What's the best general use minion for witch? I've got 350 spirit and not 100% sure which minion to use.
got it. what if the lowest number is low but the highest is higher? lol if that makes sense
like 15-40 damage compared to 10-45 damage
When the hit is applied it just rolls between that range, so a weapon that attacks much faster will even out more dps with a higher range over time
As for the difference in your example it's probably not worth splitting hairs over
Is Monk just shitty before you unlock Ice Strike?
so basically go for highest average of the two?
As a general rule of thumb yea
10-4 ty
i dont think so
um where is the trade site, i heard there is one
How do i put jewel in my skill tree?
How do I get my 3rd ascension?
I feel like I have no bread & butter damage, just relying on getting Power Charge then using Falling Thunder.
What does 'invoke a spell' mean
Cast on crit, cast on freeze, etc etc
When a spell gets triggered by those it is "invoked"
Ah. So its pretty poor for cast on shock
can a half merc half ranger work for a good build or no?
As Spark only counts once per cast...
Depends on the spell to trigger the shocks
Something like spark would trigger more smaller shocks
How do i get jewel?
just by killing enmies
Any class start can be anything if you want it to
Is it gated behind like act 4?
"Good" is subjective 
How viable would a build focused around shield skills be? Unsure if I should just wait for more weapons to be added before trying it
No, found one in a2. Just not a common drop it seems
I'm at a impasse with witch Asc selection, I'm currently running Essence Drain and Contagion, but I'd like to switch over to some sort of Volatile / detonate dead, anyone running something like this that is working? (Side note, can we change Ascendency currently?)
There’s a shield that culls on block or something like that. If you grab that it could maybe be kinda funny? Hard to say what is and isn’t viable at this point
what are mercs doing after the gas grenade nerf? I used that pretty strongly in Act 2, when I discovered it myself
Fair, I'll just try it out then
Will breaking an enemy's armor increase the magnitude of poisons? My assumption would be yes because the hit deals more damage, thereby increasing the poison but the poison tool tip says modifiers to hit damage specifically don't effect magnitude.
well i guess its time to make a Merc
its really good, makes stuff like Galvanic Shards really nice -but still need more dps
I am having trouble choosing between Withhunter and Gemling Legionnaire
What would you say is the best way to boost my survivability as monk?
For warrior if I have resolute technique sunder can’t crit if they’re armor broken?
full send lightning damage in the tree with Galvanic Shards
Rapid-Fire Tesla Build
is there a trade channel here?
Hey 🙂
How do I know which spells can trigger SRS?
It says "fire spells", but e.g. incinerate is a fire spell, however it doesn't triggers it
hulking form gives 50% to all small nodes is that only the attribute ones or if i have a node for 12% more 2h damage that goes to 18%?
@grizzled violet found this :p
mine carried me until lvl 30ish before crafting a new one
with warrior, how do I do so my clear doesn't suck ? waiting for earthquake, dying while casting sunder etc..
That's big
boneshatter
rolling slam + boneshatter
+leap slam
I can one shot bosses but little packs destroy me xD thanks
they must of done a ninja buff to the game im getting way better drops. ive found more rares today in 3 zones than i have in the entire act yesterday.
I like the idea of leap slam clear
Is there a good chaos damage build for witch or should I just stick with SRS internalist
if i have infinite curses from bloodmage can i infinitely spam hexblast?
no, right?
Guys is it possible to respec ascendancy points?
Just me or is the merc just complete butt?
seems broken for ppl that need duration
sorc
as a sorc should i use a wand and a shield or not a good idea?
and could i cap my block with it?
currently using wand and focus
how wack would it be to go stormweaver ed/contagion and just grab the arcane surge branch for thick MoM sustain
do we travel atleast 2 metres with rolling slam? am i understand this gem correctly - it gives 40% damage if the supported skill moves 2 metres?
How come I can't summon ten SRS yet? I can only do five?
what is the best build for sorceress
whats the 4th link for hammer of the gods?
What about this ?
question- by two handed weapon, I assume it also means crossbow.. does that mean that it increases the grenade damage from crossbow?

why is this cheap ? it sounds very strong
because 20% is something like 40 str totaly not worth it
I thought people would try to stack strenght A LOT like as a build
am I insane if I want to get all of these? or should I just spare and choose one or two big ones
still losing the other stats is no joke , and the stats on the body besides that are bad. Maybe a gemling could make use of it somehow but for sure far from beeing optimal
penetration only affect hit so no ignite
@little canyoneither you try to do fire hit dmg or fire dot
hmmmmmm
Do you guys think infernalist or stormweaver for a ignite/fire kinda build?
I use flame wall, ember fusilade, solar orb and incinerate as my main skills
stormweaver if you dont know exactly what you are doing
Infernalist is hella wonky and strage to build
so which nodes would I better get
what are the links for hammer of the gods
Is demonform and hellhound not good for fire/ignite? Stormweaver doesnt have much for ignite/fire tbh
Anyone knows how crit procs on essence drain spell? if spell crits does it do only initial damage crit and dot is no crit. Or dot becomes crit also. AND does dot dmg even have crit proc
Does reducing skill effect duration on wind dancer let it gain stages faster?
hits are when the spell hits, damage over time is damage over time. only hits crit
can you shine more light on this? what's fire pot. in the context of my skills that I enumerated
so then, lets say contagion will never crit i guess?
which is why you take increased dot nodes
Hey all, brand new player to PoE and ARPGs in general so don't really know much about them. I've got the game downloading currently and am contemplating what class to go, i really like the look of the witch and sorcerer as their abilities look quite cool, but at the same time the crossbow class also looks awesome, and im torn on what to pick, how much stuff is actually locked between classes, and should i worry too much about what i choose?
k, ty. wasnt sure if damage over time with some spells can crit. wast sure it works like burn dot
Weird question, but these nodes do NOT work on DoT correct?
try them both
Hey quick question. im having a bug on merec that is absolutely ruining any and all enjoyment I have of the class, so im going to restart with a new character, but cant decide if I should go Witch or Sorc, I have 2 unieus that seem liek they would do well on either so was wondering if people had any idea which would actually be more ideal with these items?
Ignite you can only have one so it's a slower playstyle and you need to get ignite magnitude. If you go spell crit you do bigger fire hit (which allow for better ignite) but I feel there is anti synergy going on if you try to do both like either you spam fire spells or you try to do big ignite here and there
abilitys are not classbound first of all, a class supports a build at best, and abilitys you use depend on your build.
crossbow guy is difficult
you've got two things to consider when looking at which class you want to start as.
You can look at the ascendancies and where they start on the tree.
ascendancies are sub classes
and each class starts on unique parts of the tree
but theoretically you could be using a crossbow as a witch
So what do the classes actually do then, dictate your weapon, and the stuff you get from ascending?
@little canyonlike it's tough to invest a lot on ignite when ignite is like maybe 20% of your damage you see what I mean
I see, I shall focus on the other one
class selection is more about ascendencies and placement on the skill board
ascendancies are sub classes in the early access there's two per class
best sorc skills vs jamanra? i'm getting stomped, every boss till now has been easy
so the fire damage and fire res penetration nodes right? @sacred sail
classes dictate where you start in the tree and the bonus from acendencys not more
yep from my outdated knowledge of poe 1 better to focus
yes !
why does plague burst put a new skill on my bar?>
I see, so technically if i wanted to i could go a sorcorer for example and still be able to summon a bunch of minions if i made it far enough to get to the part of the witch's tree, i just wouldnt be able to access the witch's ascendancies?
you dont need the witch's ascendancies to use minion skills
@sacred sail if I'm not bothering you too much, anything you would change here? or focus on first
sorc starts at the same place as the witch, and i for example play sorc the chronomancer acendency with minions
sadly I'm playing warrior but let me check
I was wondering if there was a lot of invoker monk playing cold with ice strike, do you guys find it weaker than the semi range lightning build ?
Is leaning into other classes intended skills a bad idea though?
for example im a sorceress using melee slam attacks on my current build slams are usually done with a warrior
been running my sorcer with minions cause i got a scepter. just meat shields while i doi dmg
it really depends what you're trying to do chances are its going to be less optimal but if you can find something amazing you'll likely end up with something very powerful
I see, thanks both
when it says damage penetrates 15% res so that means all your fire damage right? dont need to use fire pen or w/e
yw im happy 2 help new players feel free 2 msg me anytime
but dont let what we say fool you, that you are able to make a build dos not mean "do whatever it will work" you need to put thought into things to work. And not typical builds need more planning
im a new player what is this website?
basically an auction house
and you can put items up yourself in a premium stash tab (which u gotta buy, but u got 300 points from early access so u can)
is this 50% of maximum life converted to energy shield good for a witch?
ooh i got it now ty
Does anything work to speed up Bonestorm channel time? The cast speed one will slot, but it doesn't seem to have an effect.
probably too early for crit, you are not criting often right ?
I have no idea, since no damage numbers on normal mobs
could probably get rid of those yeah, but how do I find out about my crits
press G and click on the dps
I hope it's there
im confused with the online trading site, what exactly does 1 exalted orb cost? 😐
Scattershot it spawns more projectiles so you can launch it faster
so incinerate doesn't even have crits, but fusilade does, and it looks like this
probably not worth it?
Thanks!
probably not no
does elemental damage?
I see I see
Ill just get those fire nodes I wanted now
btw, on this long highway I created, is there anything of importance to me that you see?
What nodes should I focus on as a future Infernalist Witch? So far I'm taking minion dmg and some Chaos dmg here and there, also int on attribute nodes
(here's my tree so far)
Should I take fire pen nodes?
depends ? do you want do do a minion build or a selfcast build ?
question about fire pen support gem
if i already have more than 30% fire pen
does it do nothing?
it doesnt say increased or more on the gem
and the fire pen stat doesnt change if I equip it
Hi, I'm a level 24 player and I'm struggling to progress. Is there a way to find low-level gear to buy? Most of the items I need are level 60 or higher.
On that level i recommend selfcrafting just find a base, make it blue, add one stat repeat until good
you don't "need" gear at that level. if you're struggling gear is likely not your main concern.
no no no , i really can't T_T
my item all RARE
but im so weak
i don't know why
😭
i did wear rare rings and amuletts boots, and belt until level 50...that i craftet at level 20 xD
rare dosnt mean its bad
Hello Everyone , I’m an ethical hacker offering any kind of hacking related services.
Feel free to contact me for help regarding hacking issues
hey where do i go to ask about bugs? just beat babala for the 2nd time and wasnt able to advance the ascent to power quest; now im fucked and cant get more than 2 ascendancy points after wasting 30 minutes fighting her
awwwww super slam getting nerfed
I want the more viable build, so whichever that is
Can someone explain how this works? Is the 25% more damage applied to only the weapon damage, in my case 2-40, or to the entire skill damage that converts 100% of the phy dmg to lightning dmg?
tried to look but I don't play mage so it's difficult for me to say
Lol I'm sorry but how do you open the atlas map screen again? Also how do you place a map? I clicked on an available spot with a waystone in my stash but nothing opens
aight np thanks a lot for the help!
guys can someone help me im goin crazy, first time poe player. i am trying to use cast on freeze, but it says i dont have enough spirit, but i have 60, like its asking?
well then you shall wait for the so claimed most viable build because i cant tell you whats the best build at this stage^^
@little canyonone good thing is looking at what content creator are doing, if they do a similar thing to you, you can see difference and get inspiration or just copy if they did a better job
titan bonk
But if you that clueless of what to do just pick up ghazzys witch guide and go with it, is a decent Summoner guide for new ppl
my bad wrong channel
titan bonk
Thanks Nischa
o7
I think so too, then I went to some apps or websites for build guides. I followed them, but it’s still the same. I can't get stronger, and it's really hard for me to go into maps and kill monsters. I can die easily (Monk).
no idea but it's the least tested thing they had so probably quite a bit of issue for now
In PoE 1, wasn't there this chain of operations of which damage type could "gain" damage of which other damage type? I'm wondering if you gain lightning damage from other lightning damage dealt. Basically, does mana tempest work with an electric damage build?
Any gem legionnaire out there? I'm trying to understand the point of the Ascension given that there is almost no synergy between 'classes' skills that are available and like almost every ability is locked behind a weapon choice
oh god...at the moment i would be extremly carefull with guys most are slop because content out fast. What are you playing at the moment ?
Yo guys, how can we get last 4 ascendancy points?
Whats a better monk end game: shock or ice?
Mid Game Build - In development.
Probably the best build for Warrior rn... Just did it... Bosses done in seconds.
Does anyone have a good gemling build you can link me? I'm at the end of act 3 and I just feel so weak
haven't played monk yet so i can't help specifically but you're looking for synergies between your abilties and using the best support gems for your skills (those are often different from the ones that the game recommends) beyond that you can look around for passive trees. they are fairly straightforward. the thing that matters the most is synergizing your skills. find a content creator on youtube or twitch who plays monk and look at what they're doing differently from you and how that's going for them
Hey, i put some points in crit chance and crit damage. Where can i see the stats? All i see are the 9%crit from the Arc skill itself.
I'm not lazy, my friend. I tried to figure things out and build on my own. When I found it ineffective, I learned from the builds available on websites..
Witch or Sorc?
yeah it's amazing :p I was thinking maybe trying some titan monk skills stuff, monks have slams that stuns and stuff
ty
Question about herald of ash interaction with immolate being supported on another skill, would the ignite effect of herald of ash happen with the by the skill that supported by immolate?
Not saying you are lazy i am saing "builds" at so moment are often bad because "content" creater push them out to be fast, no matter how bad the information they give, so gotta be careful. if you are rly stuck i can try to help you no monk expert tho
Did anyone have any success building around ignite?
The scaling seems quite bad now that I'm trying
you need BIG hit
Skipped tons of mechs tbh
flat added phys will give you more damage but % increases apply after conversion so % increased phys does absolutely nothing. only % increased lightning or generic % increased projectile, bow ,etc will apply
I'm on flameblast so it doesn't get any bigger
I use the Midnight Braid on witch, along with Mind over Matter passive. That everlasting gaze would fit perfectly for defense, but unless I find something to do damage based off mana it's gonna hit a wall at some point I'm worried
Does warrior have enough dps to feel good?
idk what it is i'm playing warrior 😅
hi, does any know if rolling slam can trigger the Stomping Ground Support Gem?
feels great on boss and a bit crappy for regular clearing if you play slams
Check game news, warrior skills have been nerfed the most lol followed by the gas > detonate combos
no, only travel sills you can see the tags on top
whats a good single target option to supplement edc?
A very important question - can you draw 2 crabs on a tree, like you can in PoE1?
What's a good monk levlling build?
It's still early into the EA, but will the most potent builds be crit-based? or are non-crit build just as potent?
Since bleeding bypasses energy shield, isn't chaos innoculation a death sentence?
Are the Fire passive nodes good for a Warrior? Does seem a good amount of skills involve fire dmg....
charm makes you immune to bleed
in poe 1 you just ran a bleed immune flask
Only hits that damage life will apply bleeding, so it technically makes you immune to it since you'll be dead anyway if your life gets hit
You just need bleed immunity
Ahhhh gotcha!
Anyone know if this works on spells that DO chaos damage. As a flat 11% increase
What build and class would you guys use for Hardcore mode
Chaos damage is damage, so yes
The one that feels safest to you
There a benefit to leveling up cast on freeze gem?
ty
I got to level 22 on HC blind doing my own thing with Witch. Just make sure you stack defense. Energy shield, health. I beat Act 1 boss with no damage passive at all
anyone running hexblast use multiple curses?
Hmm in PoE 1 chaos bypassed energy shield but in PoE 2 its only poison that does that right. So it's nowhere near as good
?
chaos dmg does more dmg against energy shield in poe2 im pretty sure
yep
Removes twice asmuch energy shield
you used Blood?
so basicly double dmg against energy shield
Where can I find a good infernalist witch pob?
Died before Ascendency, to the NPC that unlocks it. Bala, she is really mobile and countered my build really well
I think i would try chronomancer or Titan in hc^^
Aye i do want to try to take it, I was super into chaos in PoE 1 but I could never finish the campaign. I hate click to the move and game was so simplistic easy everything melted
does this mean i just gotta poke him and apply 1% forst on him?
What do you need to do to reforge three rares? I'm using three of the same hammer but it doesnt work
Thank you 🙏
How does blasphemy work on witch? Can you socket support gems along with curses?
yes believe so
It doesnt seeem to affect the curse that is socketed though
Is armor even relevant to a warrior build?
What I mean is should I spec into armor passives?
how does elemental damage penetration works ? is there a soft cap ?
you cannot penetrate bellow 0%, other than that it works exactly as you'd expect
why does "increased critical hit chance" work for my spell? In the passive tree etc. it always specifies "increased critical hit chance for spells"
science
is it a bug or what
Anyone wanna trade me a good staff?
Is it a spell though look top left
i got a couple nice ones... what kinda level
Im lvl 21 in act 2 so anything around there
yes Im using bonestorm
Yes, but probably not immediatly. It is a good defensive layer though and a little investment goes a long way
I don't feel like I need atm but I do feel very squishy
Whats the verdict on the Leech note from Bloodmage ? Is it as good as ppl thought before the launch ?
Investing in armor made me feel pretty dramatically more durable.
hardcore players playing warrior, what titan nodes are you guys eyeing? Can't quite decide
I don't have a good grasp on how effective crushing impacts actually will be
I am playing around stun
Can Ice/Freeze monk clear and kill crap just as good as lightning?
looking atm, they're a bit high lvl for u mate :/
from what I've seen, the slower proj support doesn't make the molten blast balls hit closer, just makes them move more slowly
hey if minions do fire dmg, does increase fire damage scale?
for Whisper of Doom, does it allow you to reapply the same curse 2x?
How high?
Monk players, do you prefer cold or thunder?
Fuck, i meant quaterstaff lmao
Thunder
cold skills just suck
@pulsar cape my dps is great. but with lightning monk i feel super squishy and not really like a melee build
Every monk plays lightning, if you dont then your just playing a boring and sucky monk
ewww xD
I guess i need to respec haha i went cold
I like the perma frost but it can feel sluggish
Guys if my main ability does physical/elemental dmg and i pick on the tree a node that says do X% of physical as chaos, do other nodes of the nature, "gain 50% chaos dmg" boost that physical to chaos? Anyone knows mby
Infernalist pros, does mana regen have any effect on Infernal Flame buildup? I assume not
Maybe if i wanna be legit a tanky melee..I should play warrior....But slams feel soooooo sloowwwwww...Does it pick up pace?
I dont understand how cold vs lightning has anything to do with survivability but if it works then it works😭
Whats your gear looking like
How important is Armor Break for 2H Mace Warriors? I feel like it's too slow and doesn't necessarily add much to the table
im trying to make a tanky melee/curse blood witch... no idea if it will work
Infernal here. Rn im focusing chaos+spell damage in skill tree, which increases my overall resistances. I do good on hit and insane DoT, so that i can use the same setup for CC & bosses. Last, my build relies on draining winions for extra power & exploiting that for more damage
- contagion+hourglass+seift affliction so that its more DoT. If theres groups, i cast on the weaker mob. On boss fights, it melts his health so i can spam other skills
- Withering prescence+clarity+vitality for survivability+spam
- essense drain+controlled destruction+minion pact to proc contagion and also do DoT. Due to support gem, its spammable for decent dmg
- despair+impending doom+heightened curse, which with the rest of my setup gets enemies -~50% chaos resist, WITHOUT the skill tree withering buff
- unearth+minion instability, to get extra dmg on winion death. This is the CC ability that can be swapped out
- dark effigy+persistence
When i can get another support slot unlocked on skill gems, i want decaying hex on despair, so that its another DoT proc.
Would this trigger when I block?
anyone know how to get back to the encampment?? im in the past so its not here but the portal is not open anymore?
since i'm a bit clueless about gearing
which one is better for a Lightning Monk build? I do use freezing skills for CC
build planning?
cant post ss in main chat is it really a big deal 2 u?
i don't think so, block doesn't mitigate damage taken, it makes it 0
is there tho?
is there what
No staggering palm either??
an acr 3 boss that gives spirit
everything freezes
no need to stagger when i freeze enemies every few seconds haha
Merc grenade build is so fun. melee feels like trash in comparison
did you figure this out?
Staggering palm doesn’t just stagger lol.
It gives you those wind blast with each hit.
thx Nas
If I have Mind Over Matter and Grasping Wounds, will Grasping Wounds work that way with my mana as well?
do multiple flame walls stack damage if they are overlapping?
Im being serious with you, without staggering palm your only playing half monk lol.
Anyone tried Cast on crit or Cast on Shock monk?
Wdym
I wanna play a build that revolves around a unique item, any suggestions?
depends what unique u find.. is my nooby guess
Nah can just buy whatever unique
@pulsar cape like using tempest flurry to shock, and cast on every shock with like comet or arc/ball lightning
Interesting, I basically jump on them, put the bell, apply hypothermia, few swings of ice strikes and boss is already frozen, by the time the freeze ends he's almost stunned, once the stun wears off he's frozen again
Never tried arc, no reason to.
I use herald of thunder tho.
That mixed with staggering palm and orb of storms gives me all the lightning and shock i need
Why
I've never used staggering palm. I use storm wave and tempest flurry only
Tfff
I just thought instead of relying on the dodge chance that this would go crazy
Is fire sorc viable ? or should i pursue ice build with the stormweaver ascendency ?
There is no way majority of monk players sleep on staggering palm🤣🤣🤣
Try it and tell us lol
@pulsar cape what is so good about staggering palm?
it seems useless if my storm wave already 2 hits everything
nah its a must have, insanely boosts dps and gets you an early stagger
The projectiles you get after using staggering palm is whats good.
Stack that with tempest flurrys super fast M1s and thats whats good about it
ah okay ill try it
It basically doubles/triples your M1 dmg with tempest flurry
Absolutely
I know it's super build specific, but even as a infernalist, the choice between +30% increased charm charges gained would generally be better than +15% increased mana recovery from flasks right?
@pulsar cape so i just jump to some random mobs with staggering palm every 6 seconds to get buff...then Tempest?>
is draught choice in act 3 normal and cruel respecable or permanent?
Personally i would use wind strike for easy stuns for staggering palm and also build for skill effect duration.
Mines last for 11s rn
is the interaction resonance + combat frenzy bugged? cant seem to generate any power charges
Is there a mercenary channel?
@pulsar cape what links with wind strike and staggering palm? I assume you don't really use storm wave then because u make tempest have projectiles?
where do you get the last 4 ascendancy points?"
What about the Ice Strike skill?
I dont even have access to storm wave.
But wind strike has extremely high stun which pretty much instantly gives you staggering palm procs to use its projectiles
….go sit in a corner
Wind blast you mean?>
Yea my bad
It's bad? I literally just started levelling my monk lol
It's fine for now
Bad? Not necessarily. But is there a massively better option? Yes
I see. So you go Herald of the Storm build?
do you think mana regen or lower mana cost is better?
Yep
So just pure lightning build or are you using any ice stuff
Anyone else in here doing ED/C with a completed tree? I want to compare nodes taken with some people if possible
Zero ice abilities, pure lightning. With a few other things
@pulsar cape what supports on staggering and wind blast>? I know max dps on tempest flurry
So why exactly is the Lightning Strike skill so much better than Ice Strike?
40% skill effect duration on staggering
50% stun build up and 500% stun build up on 5th hit for wind blast
@pulsar cape Do u use tempest bell too for bosses?
The ingame video for Volcanis Fissure shows shield charge repeatedly triggering it... But Shield charge isn't a slam and the stomping ground support for it isn't either... How does it do that in the video? False advertising?
Because of dps and aoe/range.
it also has faster base attacks and there cool😭
Absolutely
Gotcha. What supports do you run on it?
@pulsar cape which supps u using on bell?
@kind willow i run tempo (25% atk speed) and crescendo (final strike hits a second time) on tempest flurry
Expanse and magnified effect
Gotcha. I tried using the -50% area, +40% area damage on Ice Strike and it works quite well. I don't even notice the smaller area.
@loud summit @kind willow i also use herald of thunder buff
I wonder how well it would work on Tempest Flurry
Dual wealding, stats count for main hand or both weapons?
what's the deal with all the cooldown focus in Chronomancer? i dont have any cooldowns but the one i put hourglass on for 10s. will i be getting more later?
why does eye of winter do such low base damage?
I end up shooting around 4 projectiles with one of tempest flurry attacks.
Around 15-20 through out the 4 hits tempest flurry does
I found a corruption alter and after trying to figure out what i could use it on, I noticed I could use it on skill gems, so I thought to pop out my explosive grenade and try it. I have a lclX skillgem and when I selected a new explosve grenade option, I can't see a difference?
please tell me of a skill or combo for frost sorc, that eats up all of your mana super fast(as much as possible)
Soo, do I keep juicing this?
I liked being the long range machine gun bow with the Rapid Fire back in Diablo 3. What’s the class of this in this game?
I think it’s the merc but the Ranger could have jt too?
Anyone know if I can get cold damage on bone spikes?
Any big warriors here? I have heard the single target damage is great. How is the clear tho?
witchhunter or gemling for grenade build? i'm seeing people do both. wudijo did gemling for double scattershot
thoughts on witch vs sorc for mana stacking chaos dot?
stormy can get huge arcane surge value with mom for good defense
chrono can ust not take mom and get big recoup and a free slow aura
blood mage infinite curse with decay seems interesting, or can go the delayed damage/es as life branch
they're all decent defensive options i think
Anyone know how this works? i have 1 curse and 1 mark as support gem for Hand Of Chayula, when using it on enemies it only shows it inflicts the curse (conductivity), and not the mark (Voltaic mark)
Anyone know if I can get cold damage on bone cage?
so phys to cold ?
idk if we can yet
Guys, is this good, or am I missing something?
In PoE 1 there was a limit of 1 for curses and marks shared said limit
Read the tool tips maybe it's the same here?
@fiery stoneright now I see ne item to convert lightning to or fire to cold
chronomancer or stormreaver atm? or well balanced
hey guys, is there any way to tell if a spell is a 'hit' or not? planning an incinerate build and wanting to know if it actually 'hits' enemies
says curses and marks
Good you can add another rune socket to it
Sure it applies either but how many can it apply
I already did it
how does crit work with bonestorm? does each individual projectile crit indicidually? or is determined and then all crit/dont crit?
1 socket for boots 2 for armour?
Ye
hmm maybe thats it, maybe it can apply 2 curses or 2 marks
maybe its not possible to mix
On the unique that shares all charges with allies, is there any possible skill combo that benefits from that in a minion build?
can we respect ascendancy like poe1 or is it different?
is the interaction resonance + combat frenzy bugged? cant seem to generate any power charges
I even have my power charges passives
Maybe some support can do it? Search charges in the tree maybe something there too
When it says 'to cause x% more stun buildup' how long does this attack modifier last and does it stack?
Arew the totem warrior builds worse than slams?
am i supposed to be taking str nodes for life as a sorc? getting 1 shot every time my shield is down
and my shield is 1 shot
think totems should be better ? slams it's a bit annoying ti clear I feel just my opinion
guys how do you consume ailments for the Shard Scavenger buff for Mercs?
Life should be top prio on your items
You get items?
I have no idea how to even start to cap my res 😭

Don't have to watch the whole thing but seems like some solid ideas for inspiration.
Having 3-4 totems out at a time and having them cast so fast is what draws my attention
Zizaran shares an update on his Totem Slammer Warbringer build.
This build has proved very effective in dealing with the issues of Path of Exile 2's campaign.

that's the neat part you don't
new to poe, is this considered a rare or unique?
Considered?
A rare
A rarity
it's a unique. a bad one xD
i just started haha, got it from some big worm dude
is there a way to have an aura just on at all times?
damn, it's good for your level though, too bad you are not a monk
It can be good early! But don't get caught on using uniques
Uniques has literal meaning in PoE
do monks use staff?
ah okay :)
traditionnaly yes, any class could use any weapon and their skills associated with it
but it's simpler to stick with the base type of weapoon though
ah coolio, makes sense
this crossbow is cool, i played a little bit of POE1, seeems this ones way more punishing! i like it
its always titan for generic slam/melee build right
in hcssf so i was gonna just get the %life and respec to small passive nodes after 2nd lab
Use path finder to mix it up

saw the #1 warrior is warbringer tho idk what hes doing on it
im at the ascendany choice rn xdd
does anyone knows what gem is this? (the green one)
I'm not a gem whisperer unfortunately
I got the unwavering stance unique helmet on my warrior but not being able to dodge kinda sucks, am I wrong?
Can you not open a support gem and slowly compare
i've been like 10min looking the pictures of all gems but couldn't find it
What skill most warriors using to level? Earthquake?
have you ever found it? I couldn't find "frozen vortex" on any support gem either
I might be in the wrong channel but I am an SRS Infernalist and I am using a sceptere that gives discipline skill, Will the other skills I socket into the sceptre affect my minions? I was thinking Vitality, Precision, as well as Canabalism
I do have Archmage, Mana tempest and the unique ring that changes cold to lightning and i cannot for the love of god shock my enemies
hey all i'm a deadeye ranger and use lightning mostly i'm new to arpgs so please help. is it better to use this bow i have now:
or this one
Weird, do you know how large the hits are?
only specified skills have shock effect iirc
Have they confirmed or denied that corpse-generating spells such as PoE1 Desecrate wont exist or will exist?
why don't you Press G and compare the dps trying out the two bow x) I think second one may be a bit stronger
You have shaper of storms too right? Idr
10% skill speed means 10% attack speed and 10% cast speed?
didn't even notice i could use it that way.. thanks 😄
Effectively, yes
The second bow is absolutely stronger
Not to sure I haven't seen anything but I want a Detonate Dead build lol
it already exists, sacrifice buff
it's not perfect but good enough
not sure i can show you my setup tho?
Just like PoE 1 try to add archmage for the true back to the past experience
hey guys, does anyone know if projectile damaga affect grenade explosion?
it does
