[tidal copper]

Does it have the projectile tag

[rose monolith]

xdd

[solid sphinx]

how does gain X% of damage as fire damage work if i have equipment that converts 100% of my fire dmg to cold dmg?

[rose monolith]

archmage dd is for sure dead at least

[umbral pier]

it doesn, but as i Just aim to gre ground and it explodes I am not sure

[lofty grotto]

does nothing

[sacred sail]

what matter are the tags

[quartz narwhal]

Wait so my chaos convert ignite DD chayula monk dreams are real?

[solid sphinx]

so it just doesnt work

[tidal copper]

You can see if the DPS changes as your change items

[rose monolith]

not really

it's all phys damage

you could do a poison autobomber with the corpsewade boots though

[radiant yarrow]

the reason crits inflict ailments is because of crit damage bonus right?

[rose monolith]

39.5% minion max life as flat chaos

[quartz narwhal]

Poison was my other thought if there is no unique that supports the chaos damage on hits node

[regal turtle]

can multiple arrows from a single skill use hit the same target

[vast folio]

How do you get enfolding down piligrim vest?

[solid sphinx]

so why does it still say i do some fire dmg if all of my fire is converted to cold? tool tip bug or is gained X% dmg never converted?

[grim lion]

Is perfect strike better than super charged slam now?

[lofty grotto]

x% damage as fire reffers to conversion of your physical damage to fire.
Lets say that you deal 100 physical damage and have 20 cold on weapon.
Then you use skill which converts 60% of your damage to fire.
In result your skill deal: 60 fire dmg 40 physical and 20 cold, becouse only physical got converted.

If you have item which converts to 100% fire, that means that instead of 100 physical at start of equasion you get 100 fire.
This means that all physical skills now deals fire damage by default

[lofty grotto]

in this case your fire ball deals now cold damage

16-25 dmg may be from your equipment/runes

added after conversion

[solid sphinx]

i see the base dmg is cold (155-233) but it also says i still deal 16-25 fire which according to napkin math lines up with my staffs gain 13% of damage as fire dmg

i deal no base phys

[lofty grotto]

i didn't know what class you even play, i just tried to explain to you mechanics behind conversion

[vast folio]

How do you get enfolding down piligrim vest?

[solid sphinx]

class doesnt matter its all skill gem based

[lofty grotto]

words

[solid sphinx]

i dont think gain X% dmg as some element is based on phys

i think its just X% of any dmg

that isnt already gained

[grizzled geyser]

which sorcerer element is best for crit

[north talon]

if it was only physical it would say "Gain x% of Physical damage as Extra X"

[wheat socket]

Hey guys! I reached the Atlas with a Blood mage phys, using Bonestorm and corpse explosion. I loved it but origianlly I really wanted to play Contagion/Essence Drain.

There are no ascendacies for the Witch I think that would scale my damage using Chaos. Has anyone tried to do a Contagion build?

[solid sphinx]

none they all suck but lightning can deal the most dmg

[little elbow]

@rose monolith what in the Hells is that? Can you share?

[grizzled geyser]

@solid sphinx why do they suck? wanted to try elemental storm build

[solid sphinx]

elemental spell skills just dont do much dmg rn

u can make them work but its not the best atm

[lofty grotto]

looks at comet on freeze

[solid sphinx]

they nerfed it too much since last build

[hoary plover]

i'm looking at thie right now too.
there are currently no ascendancies that benefit chaos dot damage, so pick one with useful utility/defense that works for you

[cursive maple]

Finally able to play the game, has anyone used a decent minion build that they would be willing to send to me?

[novel tendon]

Best sorc build I have seen is Raaxanterax's its not crit based but He freezes and shatters

[lofty grotto]

still melts through all the content in the game

[solid sphinx]

the only skill that does dmg

[vast folio]

Is Enfolding Dawn Pilgrim Vestments a random drop or a boss drop?

[little elbow]

Dd infernalist

[opaque umbra]

anyone know if scavenged armor only works with skills that break armor, or does armor breaking happen anyways?

[wheat socket]

Oh cool. Have you seen any good ones? Any suggestions?

[solid sphinx]

but yea @grizzled geyser if ur already settled going cast on freeze/shock/crit comet is the best

[rancid mulch]

Srs is now an aura skill that spawns rs from fire spells . You summon five of them with one flame wall. It's the most ez mode of poe2 right now

[unborn flare]

man i love monk with that evasion to armor passive 😂 75% armor and 83% evasion

[neon mason]

do these abilities synergize?

[late hedge]

ah really? I'm loving playing essence drain and contagion

[hoary plover]

i went with a storm sorceress oddly enough. the buffed arcane surge with mana stacking and mind over matter should be a good defensive layer. i also considered witch blood mage for her delayed damage node but I didnt like the life cost mechanic. i think i've seen people do demon form infernalist which has good spell damage buffs

[wheat socket]

Hmm interesting

[hoary plover]

i'll admit another part of me choosing sorceress is that i can just respec to archmage lightning build if the chaos thing ends up being bad 😅

[grizzled geyser]

I was hoping to do a self made build and saw that one accidentally so I was going to try something more experimental. Based on ele storm you could still do a pure fire, lightning or ice build then use the ailments to give you more crit and it would create a feedback loop where you always crit and always cast ele storm though right?

[tardy isle]

Can I weild a scepter and switch between bow and scepter in combat?

[solid sphinx]

not really a feedback loop thats just crit ele

[quartz narwhal]

You can but you lose your scepter passive every time you switch

So if it's minions they despawn instantly

Then there is a short CD before they come back even when you switch back

[timid aurora]

any good caster/ranged ideas for Monk 1-48? don't want to do melee and will do Invoker as caster

what are op casting spells in those few acts

[solid sphinx]

cast on freeze/shock/ignite comet

[main jetty]

Does grim feast work with EB? Will i be picking up mana instead of es?

[quartz narwhal]

Generic elemental spells is fine, it's exactly what I'm playing for campaign

[timid aurora]

isn't comet high lvl tho?

[north talon]

O.o is that enough raw HP? That seems so low to me

[timid aurora]

i need to lvl a lot first

dunno what spells are good early one

[solid sphinx]

it is but other ele spell skills kinda suck in terms of dmg to mana cost ratio

[timid aurora]

I'm going for CoC Invoker Comet later on this build looks OP af,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhE4a6Uuk8I

[quartz narwhal]

Flame wall, spark, ember fusillade, solar orb, frost orb

[unborn flare]

i never get under energy shield so i guess i don't really look at how much HP i have

[quartz narwhal]

Just use them all and grab the nodes that increase damage on elemental ailment

[timid aurora]

thanks

i'm a big fan of invoker caster will probably do that a lot this EA

[quartz narwhal]

I'm loosely following the same setup jung did for his leveling but incorporating shock because I don't mind pressing the extra button

[main jetty]

Does grim feast work with EB? Will i be picking up mana instead of es?

[orchid current]

monk power spikes so hard after killing executioner

his level 5 gems are miles better for basic gameplay

[lean raft]

can anyone help me understand spell echo? for some reason I cant put it in cast on freeze and i have all attribute requirements

[solid sphinx]

wat are u trying to cast on freeze?

[orchid current]

spell echo only support aoe spells that target a location or the user now

[lean raft]

ah okay intersting

[main jetty]

you need to socket the skill you want to cast on freeze first, and then put echo to cast that skill twice when it triggers

[severe drum]

I am gonna be honest, when is it useful to weaponswap with a class like monk?

[lean raft]

okay its bc i was trying to use arc as the cast, but i need aoe spells thank you so much!@

[solid sphinx]

its not useful to weaponswap as any class rn

not enough skills/interactions discovered to warrant swapping

[lean raft]

trying to put storm orb in cast on freeze now and its still not letting me use spell echo :*(

any other ideas???

[solid sphinx]

u cant echo orb skills

[glacial edge]

Could I use Fireball Flame Wall and SRS, or would it be bad as I'm sure Fireball and Flame Wall would be fighting over SRS summons?

[pearl sluice]

anyone knows why grenade damage nodes do not increase the dmg on cluster grenades?

[opaque horizon]

What gems are people using for earthquack stun build?

[pale iron]

I can see why people do this now - decided to make a guide video on my hexblast blood mage. Ended up 1h 11mins long lmao. But it was fun explaining each intricate detail of it. Will post in a few hours. Really proud of the concept. Chaos freeze is very cool

its a fair bit more interesting in poe2 than in poe1 imho

due to dark effigy shenanigans

[timid aurora]

haas anyon emade a OP warrior build yet, that class looks like ass

[atomic crest]

Hello! I looked up some guides for early warrior lvling. And all of them says to infuse mace strike with martial tempo. But in menu theres no such thing?

[proper seal]

anyone got a good build for a monk to follow?

[timid aurora]

i watched alkazier and it looked like a disaster

[timid aurora]

i saw a lot of good invoker builds in youtube

it gets very good later but early on can be rough if you do melee

[kindred trout]

would you guys recommend going 1 hand mace plus shield or two hand mace?

[atomic crest]

Played monk through act 1 , melee had better dps compared to ranged ice caster

[atomic crest]

Can someone answer this?

There's only fire rage and other infusion

Splinter and martial tempo are not showing up

[stray flare]

for sorceress what element should I do ?

[timid aurora]

lots of stormweavers on leaderboards looked like they figured out how to make it OP

[copper finch]

Guys, do I understand it right, this must be bis support for charged stuff? (Sorry for qual btw, playing with controller in bed atm)

Since the skill consumes powercharges anyway, isn't it double dipping?

[wraith fox]

i dont see how you can interpret it as such

[copper finch]

Well I need powercharges to activate the skill, and the gem consumes powercharges to give it extra crit

So how does this interaction work?

[wraith fox]

it says the supported skill will consume a charge to get more crit. So i would assume it consumes a charge to activate both the skill and the supported bonus

i thought you meant double dipping as in consuming more than 1

[copper finch]

The skill consumes all my powercharges at once

[wraith fox]

it consumes any charges you generate, instantly i assume

[copper finch]

That's why I'm asking, do my 4 charges go into skill and the gem doesn't proc or?

[solar spindle]

is there a way to generate power charges a bit more passively with witch?

[wraith fox]

try it out

[solar spindle]

the only thing i can see so far is profane ritual cast on crit but thats not exactly the most reliable

[wraith fox]

I would assume you get both bonuses

Theres an aura that gives you a charge if enemies kill your clone after rolling

[keen sonnet]

Hey guys, I'm playing warrior. What is the best levelling skill?
I`m really struggling here

[timid aurora]

Why do people take this,

[neon crescent]

Any ball of lighting build? Cant come up with enough damage for lvl50 bosses

[copper finch]

I just use the witch skill for charges, solves the issue entirely, for now at least

[wraith fox]

no chaos dmg and large life pool + probably something to convert +life into energy shield instead

energy shield can also recharge super fast

[solar spindle]

you dont need to convert, just stack a ton of ES

you ignore life entirely and go pure ES for survival

being immune to chaos damage is a big deal

[wraith fox]

well chaos dmg in poe2 works a bit differently

[solar spindle]

how so?

[wraith fox]

in poe1 chaos dmg went through ES, in poe2 it deals 2x dmg to ES

[oblique adder]

Can I make a curse build on infernalist or is that a blood mage thing?

[timid aurora]

also seems like stormweavers are doing comet shennanigans too

[orchid current]

trigger builds are in because what else are you using that spirit for

may as well cast extra spells

[wraith fox]

what spirit

[still rock]

Doesn't mean that being immune to chaos dmg isn't a big deal, it's just better/easier to be hybrid now (than it was before)

[solid sphinx]

bruh everyones doing comet stuff because its the only good spell skill rn

[wraith fox]

never said it wasnt a big deal, just stated the difference in how it works

[timid aurora]

true lol. but how about grenades? heard it got nerfed today

i think gas grenade and explosive gernade

combo

[solid sphinx]

i said "spell" not skill

[timid aurora]

oh

[still rock]

I wonder what the ES numbers look like on gg gear

[timid aurora]

i thought tis all same thing

yeah invokers are also using comet trigger thing

Cast on Crit and their 35% energy thing and crit node

[wraith fox]

have you guys tried multiple projectiles fireball into SRS

[still rock]

Are they using just the 35% chance to return or also that + Impetus?

Better worded: Are they using impetus with that

lol

[timid aurora]

not sure but her eis full build
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhE4a6Uuk8I&t=76s

[still rock]

I'm so tired

[orchid current]

man i kinda want to try this but i'm already doing a cold cast on freeze stormweaver...

[wraith fox]

i regret going chayula monk, invoker seems much cooler

[still rock]

oh wow 35% more energy

Thought you were referring to the support theyre also using that has a chance to return energy

Why tf would you play anything but an invoker for meta skills

lol

That's a lot of energy

[cedar charm]

when do lvl 5 skill gems start dropping

[solid sphinx]

mana issues

[still rock]

Can you be EB instead of CI perhaps

[solemn island]

is therer somewhere to see the ascendent paths for all the classes?

[solid sphinx]

yes theres a link to them in the game news channel

[solemn island]

want to try making a spell sword and want to know the best starting class for it

[wild stirrup]

Is there anyway to look at the skill tree/nodes mobike, maxroll loads just fine the only issue is getting it to axtuslly show me the description for nodes

[solid sphinx]

no swords in game yet

[halcyon solar]

possibly silly question: i equipped a hammer as 2nd Weapon to be able to leap on my sorc. I just realized that she always switches to the hammer when casting my skills instead of using her staff? What can i do about that?

[solid sphinx]

nothing much atm

[orchid current]

limit your spell skills to your staff?

[solid sphinx]

its just a quality of life mechanic

[solemn island]

spell sword in the loose sense that i wield a weapon and cast spells

[orchid current]

there's potential for it, we'll have to wait and see

[solid sphinx]

oh wait im blind have a skill that only ur staff grants

use that skill to swap back

[solid sphinx]

not much synergy rn unless u cast on something

[halcyon solar]

i mean i can just swap back with "X" on pc, but she always uses the Mace to cast her spells.

which is a huge dmg loss isn't it?

[solid sphinx]

ur staff will grant a skill like fire bolt etc

u can use that skill to swap back

[solemn island]

yeah, friend is doing something similar with witch and quartstaves, so wanted to do something similar with a one-handed weapon and a wand, though equipped together to save space

[halcyon solar]

She literally casts every spell i have with the Mace

[still rock]

Wonder if battlemage will make an appearance in poe2

[solid sphinx]

no ur char will only use the staff spell with a staff

ur not using ur staff spell

if ur not swapping back

[still rock]

Just press X and they swap idgi

[halcyon solar]

i have only one Mace spell which is Battle Leap, but she keeps casting Frostbomb and Sparks etc, all with the Mace. She switches to the Mace whenever i press the spell buttons.

[wraith fox]

has anyone tried a fire based build for warrior?

[fierce acorn]

What would be a good build for this?

[still rock]

Relog or somn idk cause I just tried it and that doesnt happen for me

It stays on whatever weapon set I'm on

[normal scroll]

anyone finding any success with a poison ranger build? i'm getting kind of frustrated by trying to use toxic growth with the huge delay and trying to trigger them with poison burst arrow, and vine arrow growths with encumberance don't seem to actually slow monsters so i'm face tanking stuff in act2

[wraith fox]

chaos innoculation

if it works how i think it does

[fierce acorn]

is that something that I can find by googling?

[wraith fox]

nvm it wont

[fierce acorn]

okay

[still rock]

Is it confirmed this works for the "phantom" hp?

[wraith fox]

its a passive on the tree

[radiant yarrow]

the reason crits inflict ailments is because of crit damage bonus right?

[fierce acorn]

thanks

[wraith fox]

gives you 1 hp and chaos dmg immunity

[nocturne quartz]

hi! I'm kinda curious about the idea to make a witch minion/contagion. Based on a lot of chaos damage. My minions would do damage (chaos with poison) and spread withered. While i will transform into demon to use contagion/life drain.
Do you think it's a good idea or something that gona hard fail?

[fierce acorn]

doesn't sound good for HC

[wraith fox]

why not

[still rock]

It's something you invest into later with really strong ES gear

[nimble snow]

is skeletal frost mage normal attack, an attack or spell? faster attack or faster casting on sceptre?

[still rock]

You don't rush it

[wraith fox]

if you spam some ES gear it would give you a larger HP pool + chaos immunity

[fierce acorn]

anything get around energy shield and do damage directly or no?

[wraith fox]

no

in poe1 chaos dmg did go through ES, but in poe2 chaos dmg only deals 2x dmg to ES. But with that skill you dont take chaos dmg

[still rock]

Chaos damage deals double damage to ES but obviously that's negated

[wraith fox]

so its a win win if you stack ES like crazy

[halcyon solar]

no clue about this. I even relogged. Whenever i press any Spellweaver spells she switches to the Mace. Can you assign skills to weapons and i accidentally assigned all of them to the Mace?

[loud summit]

Having a tough time finding what skills to level with warrior...earthquake seems too slow as i kill mobs with autos before i pops

[fierce acorn]

Sorry, ES? I'm fairly new, returning player with not many hours.

[wraith fox]

and ES can recharge super fast if you got some passives to make it recharge faster, and reduce the delay

[fierce acorn]

energy shield

[wraith fox]

energy shield!

[still rock]

Oh yeah here: lol

Bottom of skill detail window

[neon crescent]

So is it always active (mana regen) or only when they are dropped?

[still rock]

whoa wtf you can weapon swap auras

[wraith fox]

if you stack energy shield (ES) you can get a lot more EHP overall than pure life. But you dont have constant recharge or flasks unless you get a skill for that too

[fierce acorn]

I got this with it

[still rock]

If you put an aura on weapon set 1 and a different aura on weapon swap 2 it automatically just swaps auras

I wonder if this can be abused somehow

[wraith fox]

doesnt look too great overall

its fine for low lvls

[fierce acorn]

I'm level 7

xD

[wraith fox]

then you aint got anything to worry about

I do recommend just going on the passive skill tree and just look at some of the nodes closest to your starting location

[fierce acorn]

have this as well but I keep losing health directly so I can't afford to keep it

[wraith fox]

does it lose you 5 actual life, or does it do dmg to you as a hit

[still rock]

Even more weird, if you set this up like this with one of the auras being a meta skill, it saves the energy progress when you swap back to it

I'm just talking to myself sorry

[fierce acorn]

lose 5 life on each activation

[still rock]

[wraith fox]

lmao, i just realized. is that a refrence to jesus christ

[main steeple]

blood ascendancy or infernalist for witch please help ??????????????

[half steppe]

anyone have any bloodmage build recs

[half steppe]

i regretted going bloodmage tbqh

[fierce acorn]

yeah

I think

[main steeple]

yeh few ppl telling me its bad

[fierce acorn]

it is a crown of thorns

[solid sphinx]

infernalist for minions and bloodmage for cast on crit

[wraith fox]

Pohx is using bloodmage

[half steppe]

ended up bricking my build i had to respec the ascendency doesnt make u stronger until late

also nice pfp i love boris brejcha

[frail cloak]

hi, anyone upgraded the witch to the fire witch ? (idk the name of the class sorry), the Demon form is bugged right ? It removes all of my spirit, and both of my weapons including their stats so I can't summon any minion and cant use my weapons and enjoy their stats

[wraith fox]

Pohx got some cast on freeze thing going on with comet, and seems to be deleting the screen on stream

[still rock]

Anyone saying anything is bad on day 3 is sniffing glue tbh

[wraith fox]

bloodmage looks cool

[still rock]

Some things are easier to get running, doesnt mean other things are bad

[main steeple]

yerp his og man great dj

[main steeple]

is he youtuber?

[wraith fox]

streamer mostly

just search pohx on twitch

[main steeple]

okay amzing thank you

[wraith fox]

im watching him right now playing bloodmage

looks very good

[main steeple]

blood looks so cool but alot of ppl saying its bad 😦

so i cant make up my mind

lol

[still rock]

do what you want man

[wraith fox]

i personally havent played witch yet, but just pick the one you think looks good based on the passives

and try to build around it

[still rock]

why are you letting randoms on the internet peer pressue you

[wraith fox]

poe is all about theorycrafting and every ascendancy has their pros and cons

[loud summit]

alright earthquake sucks. can't wait til a good skill

[wraith fox]

But some are obviously easier to work with, but doesnt mean its better or worse

[solid sphinx]

some of the bloodmage nodes are bugged rn and doesnt work

thats why

[still rock]

oof

[wraith fox]

😔 the curse of playing EA

[main steeple]

yerp thats wht i was reading

[wraith fox]

we're the testers of balance and finders of bugs

[tropic raven]

Does flame wall do damage in and of itself or is it just purely for inflicting ignite? Cause i'm not actually sure

[wraith fox]

what does the skill gem say

[still rock]

Yes it does burning damage iirc

[wraith fox]

check if it got tabs to click on

[wraith fox]

iirc it should do constant burning dmg

[tropic raven]

does that count as hits then?

[wraith fox]

it says it does 500 dmg

and adds on dmg to projectiles

[tropic raven]

so it's non-ailment damage then, i think

[still rock]

Nvm burning damage is gone now its just fire damage over time

[keen dagger]

Why is there no suppression?

[still rock]

but same thing for this purpose

[wraith fox]

this is the walls dmg parameters

[fierce acorn]

How do you see your damage?

[wraith fox]

open your gem menu

then it says dps on the skill

[solemn island]

a skill doesn't need to do fire damage to ignite an enemy, correct? can i put on Ignition and have that skill always light enemies on fire?

[wraith fox]

and then you can click a small arrow next to that, that gives you a detailed menu

[still rock]

Interesting - so the difference from PoE1 is that it doesnt do burning damage anymore, it inflicts a special Ignite that has a fixed damage scale based on the gem level

[solid sphinx]

only if the skill itself says it can ignite

otherwise it req a hit

[fierce acorn]

it's right there, can't believe I didn't notice it, thank you

[wraith fox]

[north talon]

I know a lot of people have complained about rolling slam, but that ability actually feels so freaking good. I've come to love it a great deal.

[solemn island]

so say i stick it onto my weapon's attack, would my weapon then always ignite when it hits an enemy?

[tired citrus]

is the third symbol there for shapeshifts? when i am selecting what spell to use with what weapon set ?

[wraith fox]

probably the primal based gems on druid or something

not in the game yet

[zinc linden]

anyone has basic tree for gas arrow/explosive arrow deadeye?

[still rock]

Can you stack a normal Ignite with the Flame Wall special Ignite?

[tidal sorrel]

Does enemy armor apply before phys to element conversion?

[tired citrus]

i tried to do that so it doesnt activate in my demon form as a witch, and then i can use smth else, but doesnt seem to work

my skill still stays active in demon form, even though it doesnt work with it :/ so i cant replace it with anything else

[warped berry]

you guys think gathering storm works with close combat because you're dashing through the enemies or with longshot because the game only counts my starting and ending positions

[wraith fox]

maybe its not implemented properly yet but just shows on the menu

[still rock]

Demon form seems bugged from what I hear

[tired citrus]

i am trying to get rid off Raging spirits while i am in demon form, so i can instead have support gems Clarity and Vitality that improve my demon form but cost spirit, since Raging spirits dont spawn in demon form anyway, i hoped it would work

[wraith fox]

its EA so highly likely lmao

[wraith fox]

Maybe have SRS on weapon set 1, then swap to set 2 then go into demon form?

[solid sphinx]

yes any skill that does a hit or says it can ignite without a hit

[wraith fox]

wait idk how to do what i just said even

just disregard that

[tired citrus]

ye i thought of that too, but thats kind annoying to do :D

[solid sphinx]

u need to do some fire dmg for ignites tho

[tired citrus]

that would probably work tbh

[wraith fox]

yeah personally i dont want to deal with weapon sets, but its probably the only solution

[still rock]

probably depends on your position when the instance of damage is applied would be my assumption, unless it snapshots your starting position like you said

[wraith fox]

man i wish we had swords in the game 😔

[tired citrus]

there really isnt anything that improves demon mode at all that doesnt cost spirit... sadly

[dapper knot]

so i just had a random idea to switch my witch to crosbows useing rageing spirits pluss firewall and letting crossbow projectiles benfit from firewall buff can anything think of anything glareing i missed?

[wraith fox]

i dont think demon form is built around having minions

if thats the case

[tropic raven]

Yeah, i had a lvl 1 wall in my "on minion death" cause i wasn't sure it actually did damage in of itself.

[wraith fox]

Like you can go the demon form + magma mana thing instead

[tired citrus]

your demon hound works just fine in demon form

the only minion

[wraith fox]

since it doesnt cost spirit i dont think

[still rock]

Whats the purpose of xbow versus a proj spell

in your idea

[tired citrus]

but like it is not about minions i want cast on ignite

• demon form

but cast on ignite is already 60 spirit

[wraith fox]

right

[dapper knot]

armor breaks and the ability to use differant bolts for resistant mobs and such

[wraith fox]

hmm

Cant you have 2 scepter weapon sets

idk how to solve your problem

[tropic raven]

bone offering?

[tired citrus]

i use a staff tbh :D but ye thats fine ill just deal with it that it doesnt work

[tropic raven]

it works on the spirits

[tired citrus]

and prob get rid off raging spirits and get smth that works in both demon form and out

[tropic raven]

which is kinda funy

[wraith fox]

cast on ignite raging spirits

[tired citrus]

either arctic armor or grim feast idk which one yet tbh

[wraith fox]

you could try cast on ignite + firestorm

like they did in the showcase once

[shy rune]

Question: if mulptiple projectiles that consume an armor break hit an armor broken enemy at the same time, does a single projectile consume the armor break, or all of them do?

[tropic raven]

i'm really not fond of firestorm, especially having seen comet

[tired citrus]

ive got these in my cast on ignite

[glass vale]

can anyone determine why I can't put a passive point in this attribute node? says "requirements not met" but I have nodes adjacent

[still rock]

Yeah it'd work but it would change the build entirely to attack based damage if thats what you want to do. Armor doesnt mitigate fire damage btw

[wraith fox]

flammability, firestorm and comet?

[tired citrus]

ye

not sure about comet, but seems to be the best option even with a fire build

[wraith fox]

weapon set

[tired citrus]

i could put a solar orb there but that seems to be better cast manually

or i could just put a support gem

[dapper knot]

i suppose i could just play as a sorc with witchy flavour and not have to spread out skills so far

[still rock]

Some weird shit with weapon sets not working on small attribute nodes

[glass vale]

so, am I screwed? there are others like that

I feel like I'm locked out of a lot of paths

[still rock]

Idk if its intended but I gave up on trying to figure it out and respecced all my weapon set points

[glass vale]

oh god, I'm so broke already

[still rock]

that'll let you continue

[glass vale]

trying to figure this out

[wraith fox]

not at all, but you spent some passives using weapon set 1 instead of just general points

[dapper knot]

check that you dont have a wepset enabled top right

[still rock]

Basically you trapped yourself with the weapon set points afaik

[wraith fox]

@glass vale you got 3 points you can use in weapon set 2 as well since you used 3 in set 1

[glass vale]

I don't understand those, clearly - I'm on merc just using crossbow

[wraith fox]

Yeah the weapon set passives arent that well explained, but i found out how they work

[dapper knot]

make sure both of those are grey and you can safely ignore the system

[wraith fox]

But there are pros to use it!

(i wont ever use it)

[still rock]

Everyone is having to spread pretty far as it is it seems so do whatever you wanna do nothing is even close to optimized yet

[dapper knot]

yup i know

like did everyone know there a whole 5 more skill slots hidden behind ctrl?

[still rock]

Yeah cause I use them in poe1 for auras

lol

[tropic raven]

wat?

[glass vale]

respec is so borked IMO, my only complaint about the particularly as I seemingly bricked my path for a while with this ill explained set I and II thing

[shy rune]

Does this work with grenades? Will each grenade consume the armor break or will only one do it?

[dry haven]

what skills are people using for thier off weapon on chaos witchs?

[still rock]

Nothing probably

[dapper knot]

i have been entirely ignoreing it imo but haveing a shield in your second set is a good oshit option

[wraith fox]

think you can try to put your set 2 skill points into the same path you split from

but youre not bricked at all

[still rock]

Wep sets seem more effective for attack builds but I'm sure there's utility to be found there for non-martial weapons too - I'll just let other people mess with it for now

[wraith fox]

yeah its a cool system, but im just going to ignore it and boost my whole character evenly

[dry haven]

my main issue with it is atleast for chaos i feel kinda limited skill wise

[hasty nexus]

for warriors are people finding it easier to build more phys/stun or fire? Lvl 17 now and mostly fire but considering switching to stun so things die faster rather than burn down over time

[still rock]

The meta skill thing I mentioned above seems interesting, you could use Cast on X for clearing and then swap to a single target wep and aura for boss

[dapper knot]

poison is also chaos dmg

[still rock]

and then swap back and retain the energy from where it was at

[wraith fox]

go poison dmg modifiers and +chaos dmg modifiers

[dry haven]

ya but as it scales off your bow dmg in this game its alot worse as an off stat

[wraith fox]

theres chaos dmg bows

pure chaos

and all chaos dmg modifiers will increase that i think

[dry haven]

ya cultist bow is one, not seen one yet but im only in act 2

[dapper knot]

they will

[wraith fox]

there you go

[dry haven]

also pretty sure both phys and chaos count for poison

[wraith fox]

theres also conversions

[still rock]

You really need to scale the hit somewhat for poison damage to seem effective here, though. So weapon damage matters quite a bit it seems

[dry haven]

ya both phys and chaos count towards magnitude

[still rock]

Doesn't look like you can get away with just scaling the dot like we did before

[pure fox]

how do i unlock more than 2 support gems for my skill

[wraith fox]

jewelers orbs

they drop at act 3 +

[radiant yarrow]

anyone know how I can calculate shock chance? I'm planning on having a build that does 3x lightning damage and 3x increased shock chance with a crackling quarterstaff but idk what my base shock chance will be

[pure fox]

no way only act 3

[dreamy oracle]

i made a god tier ice monk build prob make guide soon as i cba to not play the game and make a video 😂

[dapper knot]

it will say in the skill itself

[native widget]

anyone manage to get the 5-6th accendency points?

[wraith fox]

the first tier of the orb

[sonic isle]

@bloodmages, what do you build for defense? stack life?

[native widget]

how?

[radiant yarrow]

I'm looking in tempest flurry but it's not there

[wraith fox]

Jewelers increase from 2 -> 3 sockets, next tier 3 -> 4 then last 4 -> 5 sockets. no idea when the next drops

[hallow raven]

anyone know if its better to use fire damage or physical damage runes for gas grenade?

[wraith fox]

well i'd assume the explosion deals fire dmg

[native widget]

anyone??

[hallow raven]

it says it converts physical to fire

[wraith fox]

then i'd go physical

get a weapon with loads of physical modifiers +flat and +% increase

then some fire dmg increases on the tree

[hallow raven]

done

[wraith fox]

[hallow raven]

im sad its not a bombard

[wraith fox]

could gamble away the cold dmg into something else with a chaos

[hallow raven]

would it be worth using over this bombard?

[wraith fox]

i think the base dmg is way better than 1 projectile

[viscid flax]

Is there anywhere to see minions base stats yet it's hard to plan a build if I don't know what their stats are

[wraith fox]

but check your dps on the gem menu

and try it

[still rock]

Shock chance isnt in the skill detail window, a hit just has 1% chance to shock for every 4% elemental ailment threshold that the mob has, so increases to shock affect that number

[hallow raven]

maybe if i got to choose what stat is rolled away

[still rock]

atleast I haven't found it if it is there

[wraith fox]

wonders of the crafting system innit

gotta farm and work for your stuff

[north talon]

Can you put Warcries into meta gems?

[still rock]

Basically - there isnt a fixed chance to shock, it depends on the hit damage and also the mobs threshold for ailments

[hallow raven]

just pray to rngsus

[wraith fox]

are you gonna chaos it?

[calm spear]

i still can't understand why people say take base dmg physical not the %

[gusty tangle]

the tree is bugged for me, I'm trying to refund some passived, and after I apply the changes, the money is not consumed and a few minutes later I check and the tree stays the same as it was before the "change"

[wraith fox]

number low = +flat
number high = +%

[hallow raven]

nope

5/6 stats are good why even try the 1/6

id just brick it

[wraith fox]

mirror quality item, thats why

[hallow raven]

you wanna sponsor me a mirror?

[wraith fox]

im not even lvl 50 yet

[calm spear]

bro im more confused now lol can you be more easy ( like 4 years child will understand it )

[hallow raven]

[wraith fox]

if you increase 10 dmg by 50% you get 15 dmg
if you increase 10 dmg by a flat 10 dmg, thats 20 dmg

but if you increase 100 by 50% you get 150 dmg

[still rock]

You need enough flat damage for your % increases to matter and if that value is high enough then the increased % increases will do more overall damage than just taking flat

[wraith fox]

but +10 on 100 is 110 dmg

[calm spear]

wtffffffffff now i get it

[wraith fox]

crazy innit

[north talon]

Slam a Vaal on it ;)

[calm spear]

its like 2 appels , but with % just 1.5 appel

[still rock]

tf is an appel

[calm spear]

thank you brother

[wraith fox]

probably apple

🍎

[still rock]

[calm spear]

this 👍

[hasty vault]

Is it possible to do mostly fire damage but still make a good build around the other two sorc ailments?

[still rock]

You seem like a good guy Rick

[calm spear]

so now i need to change my all build

[wraith fox]

the + strength, life on hit, crit% isnt that great either. only the phys dmg is the insane thing on it. I'd chaos and put it all on red

[short gate]

what Modifier can affect this? I want to lesser the duration

[rancid kite]

Finally bis roll for my cold build

[calm spear]

does physical dmg apply to spells to ?

[still rock]

if Stormweaver, probably

[wraith fox]

theres a shorter duration support gem

[wraith fox]

if the spell deals physical dmg then yes

[hallow raven]

i do need the strength for now unless i find it somewhere else, but youre still not tempting me

[still rock]

Id like to fuss about with Shaper of Storms and Shaper of Winter together but i dont feel like theory crafting another build rn

[wraith fox]

[calm spear]

im witch minions i spam a fire spell

[hasty vault]

I was thinking you get the shocks from the ascendancy point and the freeze from some kind of cast on ignite. Kinda tempted to convert it all to fire damage but that node is so far away.

[short gate]

this?

[wraith fox]

thats the one, but check if it works on that gem

[wraith fox]

then you dont deal physical dmg innit

[short gate]

I tried and it doesnt

[calm spear]

true bomba.clat

[still rock]

You need to have atleast some source of hit damage for all three elemental damages together to get chance to ignite, freeze, and shock so thats the hard part

[wraith fox]

maybe because thats the duration between blessings. I think that only reduces the duration of the buff itself then

[still rock]

it can't be all one element only

[short gate]

yeah

[wraith fox]

yeah then i dont think you can

unless theres some gems i dont know about

[still rock]

Shaper of Storm/Winter only change the magnitude of the ailment for all damage types, not the chance for ailments

[wraith fox]

get strength on the passive tree and chaos it rn

[short gate]

thanks for the help anyway 😄

[wraith fox]

nw

[hasty vault]

Explain that one more level deep. So chance to shock still matters on say flame wall? But it has no chance to shock naturally?

[still rock]

Need some type of ele hit or wild strike type skill

Not Flame Wall because it doesnt hit

[hasty vault]

Ok let’s use fireball

[spring shale]

Best ascendency for Chaos witch build?

[wraith fox]

i think fireball + some added extra cold or lightning will cause it to freeze or shock

[strong solar]

does anyone have a link to a decent Poison Pathfinder build?

[wraith fox]

but you then need to add that dmg type somehow

[still rock]

Sure, so Fireball would need some form of lightning dmg added there to have a chance to shock, but once it shocks the magnitude for the shock will count for the fire damage as well

but the fire damage doesnt add to the chance of shock itself

[hasty vault]

So like a weapon with added extra

[still rock]

Potentially yea

[hasty vault]

I have one now which shocks

Well I guess the extra light damage shocks

[blissful stratus]

So, Corrupted blood is a debuff, not an ailment (from the player at least), so it scales with debuff magnitude?

[still rock]

the chance to shock is taken from the extra lightning in that case

[atomic ether]

I don't understand the warbringer block node - do you really need 288% increased block chance to cap out??

[hasty vault]

But what’s the point then of that ascendancy node?

Just more odds?

[still rock]

And then once it rolls the shock itself, the magnitude is determined from the sum of the fire damage and lightning samage together

[hasty vault]

Ah

[still rock]

Increased magnitude = higher shock value

[hasty vault]

So it partners

[still rock]

Basically like shock effectiveness in a way

just based on the hit and not a flat % increase

[wraith fox]

magnitude makes your dmg have a higher chance to give ailments

it gives it a phantom higher dmg

only to hit ailments

[still rock]

No, magnitude gives you higher ailment values, it doesnt affect your actual chance

its two different rolls

[wraith fox]

[still rock]

ill type it up one sec

[wraith fox]

then i read it wrong

[hasty vault]

So you shock for a higher % of damage taken with higher magnitude

I’m having a heck of a time build crafting. I got a feeling it’s going to be hot garbage tho

[wraith fox]

Me whenever i cook up something

ITS BURNT 🔥

[river tartan]

CI is so pretty 😭

[still rock]

So say you hit with 100 fire damage and 10 lightning damage with Shaper of Storms allocated, the chance to shock itself is only based on the 10 lightning damage. Then once the chance is rolled as a success on the hit, that value for the fire damage and lightning damage added together determines the magnitude for the shock. That magnitude increases the overall % value of shock (damage taken increase percentage) at a base level of 20% of the hit (increased by modifiers to shock magnitude)

[wraith fox]

im always cooked instead of cooking

sad

[hasty vault]

https://tenor.com/view/gordon-ramsay-raw-its-fucking-raw-gordon-ramsay-raw-raw-fish-gif-23700556

[still rock]

So the shock value would be based on the hit of 110

[wraith fox]

i understood nothing

crazy

im gonna have to read up on that myself

its not you, its me

[still rock]

Yeah it's complicated

[wraith fox]

english is not my native language

idk why i said that, im basically fluent

[still rock]

And also somewhat counter-inuitive with that node, because the chance to shock is also based on the 10 damage hit, so you are going to shock less than if you were just 110 full lightning

[thin basin]

Anyone running chonk in lategame? Hows the mana leech?

[still rock]

So the advantages of taking it are simply there for if you are trying to do both ignite and shock together

[wraith fox]

my highest lvl character rn is chonk

and i regret it so so much

[tepid wharf]

so with elemental equilibrium, if you have 3 sources of elemental attacks in your main attack, what happens then? it is perma 25 pen on all 3?

[wraith fox]

im so lost for what to play on poe2 rn

it was fun going in blind on launch waiting 3 hours for the servers to go online. but now that im playing idk what to choose again

[hasty vault]

Do you think I’ll be stretched too thin on nodes if I go ailments/fire focused and crit?

[still rock]

Probably

I feel stretched thin just going for chaos damage by itself lol

[gleaming basin]

is this good for infernalist?

[thin basin]

Theres node for crit and ailment/ignite

[wraith fox]

sure

[thin basin]

Just need to pick correct ones

[still rock]

I think over by templar area there are ailment related crit wheels

[gleaming basin]

ty!

[wraith fox]

but it only works for minions, so SRS and such would work great for it

[blissful stratus]

Does Warbringer's "Ignore Warcy Cooldowns" ignore the support gems that give +cooldown for benefits?

[still rock]

SRS wouldnt get the cast speed but still good imo

[wraith fox]

true

run some arsonists as well

[still rock]

Unless SRS casts a spell now that im not aware of

[wraith fox]

lmao dont think it does

[still rock]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Raging_Spirits#RagingSpiritRagingSpiritPlayerSummoned

[wraith fox]

But arsonist throwing multiple projectile support through a flame wall

[still rock]

Yeah, only melee attack still

[wraith fox]

yea

you could go cast on minion death firestorm using SRS

[still rock]

Are people running martial tempo on SRS?

[wraith fox]

most people run cast on something that then uses SRS

[dull cargo]

Is this rare? And why does it say coming soon

[wraith fox]

unique item, i guess the flavour text is W.I.P

uniques are items with unique stat distribution and sometimes totally unique stats only seen on that item

theyre more rare than any other items in general

[dull cargo]

Ik but it says coming soon ^

[static plinth]

Yeah the flavor text is coming soon

[topaz talon]

what skills generate Frenzy? Thinking of a better way to generate Power through Resonance (flicker strike monk)

[wraith fox]

then the flavour text isnt made

ascoming soon as the description

This is an example of a unique with completed flavor text

for you sorcs out there, what are you guys using for survability?
Do we have any way of getting health from spell damage?

[static plinth]

[wraith fox]

yeah thought so

sounds pretty bad

[static plinth]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Kaoms_Heart Damn Kaom's Heart kind of got a glowup

[wraith fox]

i assume it wont work with shields? im guessing it only reflects hits you actually take dmg from

A glow down stat wise though

[reef viper]

wait thats actually kinda nuts

[wraith fox]

no spirit

i dont even use spirit on mine

[static plinth]

Its not thaaat bad

Combine with Veil of The Night

[reef viper]

inb4 its fucking tier 0

[static plinth]

oh wait holy shit, this one actually makes Veil viable

[wraith fox]

sad to see the fire dmg not be on it, but the life is good

[static plinth]

Probably T1, i think thats what it was in 1

[static plinth]

That fire damage was like nothing

[still rock]

Is 1k life even that worth not having 5 other affixes considering we don't have a million % inc to max life now?

[reef viper]

there are more headhunters than kaom

[static plinth]

They reverted it from 500 life 40% fier damage back to 1000 life in 1 too

[still rock]

Much to think about

[wraith fox]

my RF build in poe1 went it (early game)

[still rock]

Oh Titan gets 15% more max life

probably worth on him

[static plinth]

I kind of want to run Veil Of The Night + Blackbraid

Just going by name probably cdr or duration based jewelry

[twin coral]

Very sad to discover shockburst rounds dont give "chaining lightning beams" so I cannot ultra zap with lightning rod. what does give lightning chain beams?

[trim forge]

Show tree or check your items

[still rock]

You don't get any damage from the ascendancy so you have to spread on the tree to get all the damage you can while also getting all the recoup you can as well

[static plinth]

IT LIVES?

Oh no

OUR chaos res is zero

[covert spade]

i was hoping to do something with the CD skills

[still rock]

I haven't fussed with looking at the cooldown portion of the ascendancy but there's probably something there to be useful

I'm using chrono simply for defense

[trim forge]

OS L

[still rock]

slow aura, recoup, and temporal rift

[covert spade]

thats what i am doing atm @still rock , maybe my fire build just does no dmg atm :/

[static plinth]

OS is probably just a T0 now with that kinda downside huh

[covert spade]

running living bomb, flammability, cast on ignite fireball and incinerate

my single target is just abhorrent

Invest in Dark Effigy its so strong

[still rock]

jk its actually doing pretty good damage but i have to press 6 buttons

[open tinsel]

Which of these Venom Draughts should I take in act 3 for a fire minion witch?

[still rock]

COntagion, ed, decaying hex despair, dark effigy with poison on hit, profane ritual, barrier invocation with ice nova for uh oh gotta blast moments

lightning warp for free shock ground

Working so far

[static plinth]

Profane Ritual gives me conniptions

[still rock]

How so

Just cant use it for bossing which sucks

Cause thats when I want it xD

[static plinth]

Yeah, its good for bossing but there's no corpses, and it's not needed for mobbing

Does poison get spread by Contagon?

Or contribute to DE's projectiles

[still rock]

Not spread but yes to DE

[static plinth]

Wish i didnt sell my Corpsewade then

[still rock]

The final plan is to use it as a vehicle for Drain Ailments on ED

Not there yet

[static plinth]

Im just gonna go raw damage on DE, use Ancestral Bond and Matsya

[ocean dune]

Hello everyone, is sorcerer using all three elements any good?

[static plinth]

Rn im suffering hard on mana costs so im honestly looking at taking Infernal Flame

[still rock]

I can't imagine doing this build without the +chaos levels from wep but lmk how it goes

[patent dagger]

In the skill tree the +5 to any attributes nodes. Is there any reason for a sorceress to go more strength or Dex? ATM I have like 7 strength, 7 Dex and 50+ int. I know that some skills and armour/weapons require minimum amount of stats, but other than that, should I be stacking strength for more health or what?

[hasty nexus]

support gems too prob

[static plinth]

I havent gotten a decent weapon in 40 levels so we'll see how things go

[trim forge]

Yo uget the other attributes if you're looking at a support gem

Also item base requirements

[still rock]

DE, envenom, comorbidity, withering touch, maybe overabundance later idk

Font of mana perhaps

[static plinth]

Over Abundance is 100% needed if you're not going ancestral bond

[still rock]

Self casting curse is a fuckton of mana

[static plinth]

Yeah i needed Inspiration

[still rock]

Maybe I'll try overabundance before comorbid

[static plinth]

Ideally you get a good amount of skill effect duration from tree

That way it doesnt hurt as bad

[still rock]

Yeah, am doing so

[chilly carbon]

what order are you going for your witch hunter ascendancy. I went Zealous inquisition first, trying to decide if I should go sorc ward next or start aiming for decimating strike

[static plinth]

There's also a unique amulet for +1 limit but no idea how rare it is

[still rock]

But I'm also adhd as fuck so i press my curse 3 seconds into the duration anyways

[static plinth]

Saaaaaame

[dense sentinel]

Does Leech from the nodes give you Leech, or just improves Leech you have from Gear?

[still rock]

I'll be taking whispers of doom with blasphemy temp chains but its probably a bad idea

[static plinth]

That wont deal Decaying Hex damage

[still rock]

but idk it was my main idea with chrono

[magic sparrow]

I want to go for crit on my ranger but there are so little crit chance nodes :/ and the base crit is so low. No clue if it's even worth it tbh

Ah okay

[neon crescent]

How to find my crit chance?

Doesnt show up in character screen

[halcyon shale]

hey can any sorc players confirm for me whether multiple flame walls layered over each other stacks dmg?

[still rock]

I want ancestral urgency but it wont fit most likely

[halcyon shale]

or can enemies only be affected by one at a time?

[dusty lance]

as a witch what should i prioritize on my belt?

[gray ferry]

Can triggered spells trigger other things? Like I was wondering if you could CoC a spell with quill rain -> that spell triggers the Stormweaver's storm? 🤔

[hollow swift]

Should I clear most of the map for act 2 first or do the trial as soon as I can?

[static plinth]

Im taking it no matter what, i need that QoL

[still rock]

I do nothing for 5 seconds at a time it's fine

lol

[gray ferry]

You could always hop into the trial and see how hard it is, if it's tough you could grind more and come back later

[supple cipher]

which one is better? left one is the only weapon I have since act 1. I gamba on the right one (merc grenadier)

And poisons so ED gets the ailment to cull

[static plinth]

Magnified Effect + Expanse makes the spread at least tolerable

[still rock]

I dont think i could do the CD

[static plinth]

Its shorter than it sounds

Hourglass feels like an eternity though

[still rock]

Maybe I'll try it

I'm doing hinder rn with it which is incredibly nice for clearing survivability

[static plinth]

Theoretically id like to use Hourglass on ED but yeesh

I picked up the node that makes curses hinder

[still rock]

Hm, it's a 5% less Hinder effect but maybe that's more economical

It's nearby anyways

Maybe I'll try that once I get my blasphemy set up

[static plinth]

Id also recc Chain on ED if you have trouble hitting your contagion target

Since it only hurts the hit damage

[pure fox]

should i disenchant items, sell or what?

[static plinth]

Disenchant rares, Salvage items with sockets or quality, sell everything else

[normal fable]

My buddy playing monk has 60/60 spirit but even with no other gems or skills on he cant active cast on freeze, says not enough spirit

[still rock]

Ah I was doing pierce, maybe chains better

[normal fable]

what is this bug ?

[pure fox]

nice, what do i do with disenchanted and salvaged rewards?

[static plinth]

Pierce hits the DoT too i think, def worth it

[still rock]

Yeah it does

[static plinth]

Use em to make items better

[still rock]

Not having contagion as an aoe is so ass

[neon crescent]

bump

[still rock]

i thought it wouldnt be that bad

but i hate it

[static plinth]

Oh its wretched

It also doesnt always go on the enemy you're mousing over

man i get that for tabbing out

[still rock]

It's really bad and then ED moves in a damn S formation

wiggling around

[pure fox]

gold rarity items i disenchant?

[static plinth]

Yeah, those are rares

You can just sell them if you're hurting for gold though

Currently my ED is Swift Affliction, Chain, Faster Projectiles

[still rock]

I think GGG wanted all the PoE1 ED/C players to have pain instead of comfort

[pure fox]

i dont need gold i think

[static plinth]

At least it deals damage now

[still rock]

I'm doing Swift Aff, Pierce, Intense Agony

Which Intense Agony is pretty eh, considering I have to reapply all my shit constantly

[twin coral]

is there any auto rifle build
so far every merc ive seen is just grenades

[static plinth]

Acceleration is pretty meh so ill probably swap it out

[still rock]

It doesnt spread like it used to

[static plinth]

I considered minion pact but the hellhound doesnt regen fast enough, at least not yet

[still rock]

Do you know if unleash on contagion will make it target other targets or just mutliple applications on the same target

I thought about trying that

[static plinth]

Idk let me test it out

Maybe Arcane Cascade?

[still rock]

I dont have unleash rn

It doesnt support it because the application isnt an aoe

lol

cancer

[static plinth]

Unleash does affect multiple targets

[still rock]

ooo

[static plinth]

Pretty good but with chain it feels fine on just one imo

[still rock]

For Contagion?

[static plinth]

Yeah

[still rock]

How does it chain

[static plinth]

I mean Chain on ED and normal contagion

[still rock]

Word

[static plinth]

Since i just fire into a pack a few times and the enemy is 100% to get hit cuz it targets unaffected targets (i think)

[still rock]

Yeah I'm doing that as well but I'd rather not

Since it slows the rest of my rotation

of setting up a thousand things for one pack

[static plinth]

I usually just fire twice and then contagion and pray

Works pretty well

[fierce sedge]

full dmg i may be braindead

[still rock]

Wonder if echo works

[fierce sedge]

im on act 2 first boss may be fucked

[still rock]

Dammit it doesnt fit

Well there goes another uncut lvl 2

lol

[static plinth]

yeah this seems, right

[still rock]

Why are you taking all three damage types

[zinc cipher]

Guys i have a question

[tacit gust]

does weapon "gain" fire dmg apply to minions?

[still rock]

No

[thick pagoda]

working on a trigger build currently, anyone having issues with spirit on weapon swaps? it obviously shows me having enough spirit with the swap, but it just won't let me activate some of them

[tacit gust]

does chance to ignite on weapon apply to minions?

[still rock]

Make sure you didnt accidentally deselect them in teh skill detail window at the bottom where you select weapon sets for particular skills

[thick pagoda]

its on

but only activates with one of the swaps

[thick pecan]

Wasnt there a passive tree node that adds a projectile?

[still rock]

No, general rule of thumb is that nothing that applies to you applies to your minions aside things that explicitly say minions

OR auras

or Allies

[zinc cipher]

So, I want to make it so Sunder is capable of heavy stunning primed enemies. Crushing blow reads "Hits are crushing blow, meaning they can heavy stun a primed enemy", i wanted to use that with "Devastate" support gem that fully breaks armor when u heavy stun an enemy. Does this work? I am not sure if it does or not. I cant visually see it cos Sunder also reads that it "consumes fully broken armor to crit"

[still rock]

Can you take a video showing all of them on in weapon set 1 and then swapping and them getting untoggled?

[tacit gust]

@still rock so im assuming none of this applies to minions then?

[still rock]

Cause when I tried just one earlier it swapped back on when I swapped

[still rock]

Correct

[tacit gust]

tragic

[still rock]

Keyword: Ignites "YOU" inflict

[tacit gust]

they are ME

[still rock]

You are you

They are they

[tacit gust]

[sturdy parcel]

Can someone help me figure this out, how can the one wand on the right, do more dps then the one on the left?

[zinc cipher]

im guessin no one got some knowledge on this yet?

[neon crescent]

bump

[still rock]

Hm, I'd assume so but that's a lot of mechanics I have no clue about working together so I can't really say more other than "Sure that sounds like it would work"

[static plinth]

Here's my spread radius btw

Yooo just got my first level 2 support lets go

[still rock]

HEavy stun and priming and broken armor too much new stuff at once 😭

[zinc cipher]

yhhh felt the same and gave it a go but i legit cannot tell since it gets consumed

[still rock]

Ok so you're asking why they don't stay toggled on when you swap?

[thick pagoda]

ya

[still rock]

Does the 2 spirit difference matter here?

[thick pagoda]

nope, both ignite and freeze are 60 spirit

[lapis hatch]

guys i have the impression that the monk's bell when it has all the ailments on it and receives attacks, the damage is super massive

[thick pagoda]

so only need 120 more and i have over 180 on the swap

[static plinth]

Are your spirit skills tied to a weapon set instead of being either or?

(I havent messed with this mechanic so im just guessing)

[still rock]

Have you tried turning them off and on again manually

[worldly flame]

Im trying to craft a support gem "lightning penetration" but i don't see it anywhere. Any idea why??

[thick pagoda]

it wont let me turn them on because it says i dont have enough spirit

cant right click them

[still rock]

But you do?

[thick pagoda]

on swap one ive tried and they turn off and on

[still rock]

(have enough spirit)

[thick pagoda]

yes

[still rock]

O.o

[flat coral]

Can anyone provide some help/feedback on my failed blood mage build? Trying to figure out if there is a good way to utilize blood mage with chaos damage or if I need to change course. https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1315870938923012128

[still rock]

Sounds dumb but try putting the scepters in the main hand slot

[thick pagoda]

just moved all of them around and nothing enabled it, Elemental Invocation is still toggleable, also has a 60 spirit reserve. also disabling EI doesnt allow either of the other two to be turned on

[still rock]

Relaunch client?

Sounds like a bug

[thick pagoda]

did that already

[still rock]

Like the game is tripping up on you swapping and losing the spirit momentarily before getting it back from the swap

or something

[static plinth]

Damn you were right, Withering Touch on Effigy makes it way way stronger, even with me having Withering Presence with Persistence

[still rock]

It's like a 1-2 second 50% wither

It's wither spell totem on crack

[thick pagoda]

alright, so disabling them on weapon swap 1 lights them up on 2, but activating them on 2 turns them on for 1 and not 2...

what the actual jank

[still rock]

I'd try reporting that tbh

[ruby steeple]

Build at the end of the video

Titan Warriors

breeze through the maps and melts boss in seconds

[still rock]

My only guess is that when you go to swap, the game has a moment where you are "weaponless" perse inbetween swapping weapons and then it disables your meta gems and then it gets stuck there

[north talon]

I rerolled my Titan for a warbringer, Titan felt like it didn't actually do anything particuarly unique (and aftershocks are buggy on some skills)

[thick pagoda]

just uploaded the wrong gif, the correct one showing the latest janky interaction:

[onyx kelp]

Guys can someone help me with making a trade ?

How many exalts would this be worth ?

[still rock]

Are you failing an attribute requirement at all when you swap?

[still rock]

#2┃crafting-advice

[onyx kelp]

Aah okay thanks I’ll post there

[forest crater]

Yo chat random questions can i use infernal cry on my minion build?

[trim forge]

@distant marsh cheers

[still rock]

e.g. does weapon set 2 have less of an attribute making them disabled?

[round marten]

are DoTs bad in poe2?

[trim forge]

Dots are pretty good atm

[thick pagoda]

it drops my int from 126 to 120. requirements for everything is currently 119

[distant marsh]

[round marten]

i cant seem to get good dmg out of my fire sorc lol

[trim forge]

You only benefit from the cry and not from the exerted attacks part

[thick pagoda]

swapped to a lower int requirement and it still didnt work

[still rock]

DoTs are in an interesting spot without DoT multi - but there are plentiful sources of them to stack

[calm wraith]

Is there any way to convert power charges into something useful for ice monk? Also is it normal in poe to have like no high level skills available for an "archetype"/build. Out of the 6 skills in lvl 9-13 there's only 1 for ice monk

[old pivot]

Friends, how does Archmage scale? Does it add the 5% mana to any instance of dmg, or does it scale down on multi hit

[true token]

i feel like dots are pretty trash right now compared to most things

[trim forge]

Sorry man other mods arent up

[thick pagoda]

also equipped another chest that brought the swap's int up to 127 and still nothing

[distant marsh]

Kinda eating dinner

[still rock]

I'm out of things to check for tbh

Sorry man

[forest crater]

Can my minion still set off the explosion on marked mobs from cry tho?

[thick pagoda]

alright new question, where to report bugs?

[trim forge]

Yeah

[still rock]

[forest crater]

Now that’s spicy thanks

[round marten]

im in act 3 and feel extremely weak and get barely any crafting mats :/

[north talon]

How much quality do GCP add to gems? And is there a way to tell how much quality you need for an effect ot increase?

[thick pagoda]

thanks for the help

[still rock]

1%

[brittle cave]

Im a grenade build, do I go for more aoe - right side of tree , or go straight for decimating strike?

[zinc cipher]

why does my Sunder AOE go from 0.9M to 1m when using 40% more area of effect, but goes down to 0.6 with 50%less area of effect?

[still rock]

It will always increase it on a scale of 1-20

[north talon]

Okay... So i need 10 GCP to do anything :(

[feral halo]

any ignite titans in chat? let's say I have leech to hp from physical damage but i have activated the node fire avatar which converts all damage to fire... will I be leeching any life from the physical in any case?

[still rock]

Oh? What skill/qual effect?

[plain bear]

mob resistance symbols - what's the difference between the white and red ele resist symbols?? pls

[lethal jasper]

hey guys anyone have a site with builds i can follow? I am not experienced enough to tell which builds are good and I dont want to follow a build that is not strong lol

[brittle cave]

do I go for the right side for aoe, or do I get decimating strike?

[north talon]

Super charged slam, gets +0-2 stages with quality, so I assume that means 10% quality per stage

[still rock]

Google, this chat is for making builds not asking for them

Sorry to be rude

[feral halo]

any ignite titans in chat? let's say I have leech to hp from physical damage but i have activated the node fire avatar which converts all damage to fire... will I be leeching any life from the physical in any case?

[still rock]

it's like 100 times today

[molten sapphire]

guys, got question, im running blood mage with bonestorm, focusing on crit and spell dmg, i got some spirit to use, what minions would benefit from this build?

[zinc cipher]

@still rock got any idea on this? not sure how this works out like that
