[bold saffron]

u mean this 99int armor piece can roll max hp?

[dawn spire]

No, it has 16% fire res. So it's basically a one mod blue item

[obsidian grove]

Id probably take a node that just said +30 spirit tbh

[orchid current]

like ggg intended

[sterile stone]

and people dont even have 3k life, ive seen people with like what 1700?

[timid cloud]

anyone?

[dawn spire]

Yes. Life can roll on all non-weapon pieces. Life isn't aligned to an attribute

[sterile stone]

so thats like 20 spirit?

[still rock]

I actually have no clue how that works, if you find out lmk

[vale heart]

every rune talks about "martial weapon", can spell caster weapons not have rune slots?

[orchid current]

i think default weapon skills have sockets depending on your highest socket value gem

[dawn spire]

@still rock @timid cloud weapon skills have sockets based on the weapon ilvl. Idk breakpoints

[still rock]

my assumption would be that at a certain ilvl of weapon the sockets go up but i have absolutely no base to put that on

[orchid current]

or ilvl idfk

[bold saffron]

ok ill start by doing optional bosses to get resistances see how that will feel

[still rock]

oh, ok yeah there we go

[bold saffron]

never running ES in my life lol

never regens

[green elm]

anyone else have 0% evasion rating but also have evasion? i have 430 evasion, not sure if thats enough to give at least 1%, im a chayula monk and i took almost all chaos damage/cast speed nodes, going ED cont with effigy and i only have 1 unique on thats a helm and i checked all passives and gear and i dont see anything that says icant evade

[orchid current]

well they did nerf es recharge by quite a bit

[dawn spire]

It's actually really strong if you have some way to restore it. Like temporal rift, leech, etc.

[bold saffron]

so this is better than my legendary?

for now?

[orchid current]

it has more mods for sure

[timid cloud]

i see maybe that's why i can't add socket to it then

[vestal idol]

@green elm do you have this

[dawn spire]

Legendaries aren't a thing. Unique items are what yih mean

[bold saffron]

ES not even considered a mod : /

[bold saffron]

yeye

[steady mural]

which is better frost mage or arsonist for witch build?

[dawn spire]

You cannot modify the sockets of skills granted by items

[green elm]

nope, not even close on the tree

[pseudo bone]

Is there a reason totems wouldn't benefit from conditional nodes like "+40% damage against heavily stunned enemies"? Also not sure about if the distance is me or the totem for "+40% damage with hits at close range".

[vestal idol]

any unique items

[warm delta]

Most auras are 60 spirit, so added with a boss passive spirit stat, you get a free aura for 25% of your max HP

IMHO not worth it for infernalist builds, due to lack of lifesteal

[bold saffron]

should i then try to learn into it or just say fk it and get ehp and resistance cap

[orchid current]

i wonder if ES is going to be too dependent on ghost shrouds, although we haven't got templar or whatever the poe 2 alternative is yet

[green elm]

thats the only unique i have on

[bold saffron]

cuz i was about to head towards ES rechargespeeds etc

[timid cloud]

oh really? so how some ppl have 5 sockets on their weapon skills?

[bold saffron]

tbh

[dawn spire]

Idk how they work in poe2, but in Poe1 totems inherited your stats. So they'd benefit from basically all the nodes on your tree.

[vestal idol]

maybe other palce in tree that converts evasion to armor

[dawn spire]

They have higher ilvl weapons

[last patio]

do all ice skills apply cold exposure?

[orchid current]

no

only specific ones

[timid cloud]

gotcha appreciate that 🙏🏻

[green elm]

its possible but i checked and double checked and tripple checked, i only have 1 passive that even says evasion

[last patio]

oh woops, didn't mean to reply

[dawn spire]

What's your ascendancy?

[orchid current]

actually i think only frost bomb inheriently provides cold exposure

[last patio]

oh ok ty

[pseudo bone]

Just needed to know if there was some well known limit for totems "seeing" conditions, thanks.

[still rock]

es recharge is probably only worth it later after you are built up on ES as your main ehp source, early on you always should focus on life first then resist cap

[dawn spire]

I'd do resists over life tbh.

[last patio]

what good is cold exposure if the only skill in the game to apply it is frost bomb? lol

[dawn spire]

Well, whatever gets you more ehp I suppose

[orchid current]

well you do more cold damage when they're exposed

doesn't seem very complicated to me

[vestal idol]

@green elm do you have acrobatics

[dawn spire]

What good is the sun if it's the only star in our solar system?

[bold saffron]

going for fire/shock build

[still rock]

life values on gear seems to be more important here imo since none on tree and the values on gear roll pretty high, but obviously yeah ideally youre getting both in conjunction somehow

[bold saffron]

ok ill keep that in mind for my new char, ty

[last patio]

I mean in the sense that all of the cold exposure nodes you would take are only useful for frost bomb. If there were more skills that they applied to I'd think they were more worth taking

[orchid current]

i personally think that the exposure node on stormweaver is too powerful not to take

[dawn spire]

I think life on gear is about the same, personally. Since we don't have %life on the tree to scale it

[still rock]

yeah its nuts

[orchid current]

well you're supposed to cast frost bomb and then other cold skills to take advantage of the exposure

[dreamy stag]

Welp, info, despite launching multiple projectile, Bone Storm only count as 1 crit at most per cast for Cast on Crit

[meager lion]

Guys, do those 2 work well together? Is single cold damage considered as chill or not?

[obsidian grove]

does minion instability proc when minions run out of duration

[bold saffron]

is there a way to tell w hich optional bosses we've alrdy killed

[orchid current]

yeah they're only useful for frost bomb but frost bomb then makes you do a shit ton of damage

[dawn spire]

Isn't that what cast on crit says? Once per cast?

[last patio]

fair enough, just wish there was more variety

[dawn spire]

Grayed out = dead

[last patio]

i imagine there will be later

[still rock]

frost bomb applies exposure which is a debuff then you use your other spells

[dreamy stag]

Nope

[still rock]

its not only for frost bomb

[dreamy stag]

Wrong ping

[mossy mural]

Any character planner websites out yet?

[dawn spire]

@still rock @last patio isn't there a T3 support that applies exposure?

[last patio]

oh? nice

[vivid torrent]

Hey everyone new to the sub

[last patio]

i missed it, my bad

[orchid current]

my rerollitis is making me want to do coc invoker now i will never finish the campaign at this rate

[vivid torrent]

Is it worth to build my witch around this?

[still rock]

yeah for every element

[dreamy stag]

So either the spell is bugged, or either it's intended and quite sad

[vivid torrent]

Like utilizing grinning immolation and altered flesh?

[bold saffron]

can u show me ur resistances for reference?

[left island]

Anyone playing Crossbow, using Glacial Bolt + Frag Rounds?
I can't seem to find a good 4-link for Frag Rounds.

[vestal idol]

when i have additional chance to inflict ailment on projectile skills. i recon that actualy need to be a skill that actualy has an ailment on it ?

[vivid torrent]

Or is this piece moreso just an addition rather then something to build around w

[dawn spire]

I'm on mobile. I think I'm sitting around 50/65/75

Fire/cold/lightning

[old shard]

witch ascendincy is best for necromancer infernalist or blood mage

[still rock]

you dont necessarily need to build around this other than looking for increased max fire resistance

it just helps you mitigate phys without needing armor

[bold saffron]

idk it seems i got most optional bosses down that give me perma resistances

[dawn spire]

And I'm a chronomancer so everything around me is slowed. And I constantly electrocute. But I feel squishy when things actually do hit me

[grizzled trout]

Where to anoint in poe2? Also can u change it after?

[mossy mural]

Which*

Either

[dawn spire]

Make sure you've also explored all the zones (no question marks). You can't see boss markers for zones you haven't been in

[vivid torrent]

I see i see! infernalist has skils that turn damage into fire damage and give me damage res, so probably will be picking that up

[steady mural]

out of ember fusillade, solar orb and incinerate which one would u guys recommend for witch build?

[orchid current]

im ngl i think the fire spells are kinda bad

[dawn spire]

Pretty sure all the cast on X gems specify you can only gain energy once per skill use

[obsidian grove]

Incinerate and solar orb has been working for me

[dawn spire]

I hear solar orb is pretty hot

[still rock]

it also is effective for the things you listed above as well but thats more of a side effect - the main boon you gain from any effect that says "phys taken as X element" is that youre mitigating physical damage without needing armor, which effectively raises your EHP through the roof for phys

[orchid current]

nah otherwise coc eye of winter wouldn't be blasting

[steady mural]

why is that?

[dreamy stag]

Eye of winter proc it multiple time tho

[orchid current]

just a vibe i'm getting

[dawn spire]

Oh. I see.

[orchid current]

none of them look particularly powerful

[dawn spire]

Can someone screen grab cast on crit?

[still rock]

so in turn, getting your max fire res past 75 just further increases that ehp

[dreamy stag]

I sent it a bit before

But here it is fully

[unborn raven]

"After this hotfix, we will be making adjustments to other Trigger Meta-Gems. In particular, we are going to be moving towards it being that you will not be able to apply very weak ailments from low level abilities to build energy. It is our intention that using low level skills with no investment is not an appropriate avenue to trigger copious amounts of high damage spells." - So does that mean my high level support +quality gems to trigger energy (Cast on freeze) won't be affected?

[steady mural]

does orb do more damage than the incinerate spell?

[dawn spire]

No idea

[still rock]

"take physical damage as X element" effects are some of the strongest and most overlooked defensive tools for non-armor builds

[dreamy stag]

Yeah so it's not once per cast

[vivid torrent]

Ahhh interesting! Good to know, thanks for helping break down this armor

[still rock]

so long story short, its a good unique but no life hurts

[dreamy stag]

It's just Bone Storm that's bugged

Welp, time to report it and take a break till they patch it uh

Or I could just play crit without a CoC payout

[unborn raven]

Is that in the talent tree or on items?

[dawn spire]

Are you using low level skills to apply freeze? If so, I think you're fine

[wind tulip]

I'm not sure about living bomb, but isn't sigil of power just a universally way better skill than all the other sorc spells? so... wouldn't you always want to have a sigil of power staff over the others?

[unborn raven]

all my frost skills are the same level, im not sure what they mean by low level since you get tons of uncut gems..

[still rock]

afaik the only source on the tree is a node called Catalysis

[unborn raven]

lvl 56 btw

[still rock]

its generally found on uniques traditionally

[dawn spire]

They mean using low level skills because they have lower mana costs, I think

[unborn raven]

fingers crossed they dont gut my frost baby

i mean it is OP....it they tweak it a bit im totally OK with that

I just hope they don't 'Helldivers 2' it

[dawn spire]

If you benefit from sigil of power and don't plan to utilize living bomb or another staff spell, the answer is likely yes.

[left crescent]

Greetings, I have reached the "Cruel" Acts, and now I am faced with the inevitability of my bad past decisions. What kind of stats should I look to have in an armor as a Sorceress?

[dawn spire]

Life and resistances

[wind tulip]

living bomb is the one I haven't tried but lightning bolt seemed awful, ice shards somewhat decent but both skills aren't used by any player later on, at least I haven't seen one

[dawn spire]

And movement speed on boots

[wind tulip]

sigil of power is just a somewhat passive spell dmg buff

and a quite strong one imo

[still rock]

i assume this means that they are adding a threshold of ailment strength value necessary to trigger the meta gems, I think like low level ignite is probably the one being targeted here

[modest tulip]

is there anypoint me having over 100% crit chance on passive tree? (I AM NEW SORRY)

[still rock]

but im just guessing

[dawn spire]

Hold alt and read the crit tooltip, especially the last paragraph of it

[solemn island]

If going a fire warrior, would I want to dip into totems? If so what skill would I want to slot into it?

[still rock]

Freeze should be unaffected because of how buildup works innately

but low level flame wall is cheap and too easy to trigger the ignite meta gem

for example

[dawn spire]

Probably something that could proc other stuff or debuff. Daze, fire exposure, maim, etc

[left crescent]

Flamewall consuming all my mana cause I want to perma cast commet:

[humble rover]

Am i missing something? My Life Remnants are disabled because not enough spirit but i do have enough left over

[south meadow]

if i have arcane surge from the stormweaver ascendancy, can i still get another stack of it from the support gem or is it just a single stack and is either active or not?

[dawn spire]

I'd recommend un equipping both weapons and relogging. Spirit is kinda buggy

[low glacier]

Ok is it just a massive oversight from a studio this successful to not enable us to view the Gemcutting and Support Gem screens without having one of said gems on hand? I can't plan my crap ahead because of this

[dawn spire]

No. Buffs of the same name don't stack

[dawn spire]

I keep one of each uncut on me at all times. But yeah, it would be great if they could let us view them without cutting.

[still rock]

He keep that uncut on him 😭

[vestal idol]

bosses are piss easy with correct resistance

[still rock]

sorry

ill leave

[analog gale]

are there any lightning spells that can shotgun?

[left crescent]

Spark

[analog gale]

like what lightning spells are best with mana tempest

[analog gale]

i thought spark couldnt

[left crescent]

Isn't spark basically a shotgun?

[still rock]

nothing can shotgun afaik

[solemn island]

So far my hammer is going to take care of fire exposure, might put the armour break skill in it since my hammer procs exposure on armour break

[analog gale]

becuase the ice shards thing from the ice staff specifcally says it can shotgun

[left crescent]

Ah-

[analog gale]

ice shards and crossbow skills iirc

[dawn spire]

I think if the projectile pierces the target or if a proj bounces off of a wall, it can hit the same enemy again

[still rock]

oh? cool

didnt know that

[humble rover]

doesnt seem to help unfortunately

[analog gale]

i remember seeing a thing about crossbows while holding alt

[still rock]

i havent used em yet but would be an easy test

[analog gale]

the ice shards skill from the ice staff speficifcally says it can

[still rock]

thats kinda pog

[dawn spire]

Crossbow abilities that fire multiple projectiles at once can shotgun,yeah

[still rock]

does it just do dookie damage otherwise to compensate for that?

[analog gale]

tbh crossbow skills that dont shoot fragments dont really shotgun as much as they shoot them really fast sequentially

which is pretty much the same but its better for single target

[still rock]

thats not shotgunning though thats just multiple applications right? @analog gale

[river berry]

is there any hope for me to respec out of minions into ANYTHING else working with infernalist?

[dawn spire]

Does the order you activate them matter? I'd also try turning off all your spirit gems and unequipping your weapons. Then relog

[lucid creek]

always have an uncut with you at all times

[analog gale]

i think crossbows just inherently can shotgun

[still rock]

word

[dawn spire]

I think it says how it works when you hold alt over crossbow

[analog gale]

otherwise stuff like fragmentation rounds would suck

[still rock]

ill check next time im in game

i need to try xbow out

[dawn spire]

If a cbow skill fires multiple projectiles baseline, they shotgun. If you add projectiles, those get fired sequentially

[worldly pawn]

when Bonestorm says 'fire them at enemys and explode'
does the explosion do more damage on top of the hit damage? what causes the explosion?

[still rock]

too busy theorycrafting how many ascendancies im going to play as ed contagion

[still rock]

new game new weapons new classes

me: give me ed contagion

[dawn spire]

Ngl Ed contagion chrono sounds so comfy

[analog gale]

so its like barrage support from poe1 but better with single projectile spells

[pine elm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRpitAnmVzs

this dude

has 4k+ ES and 3k+ mana

jeezus

[dawn spire]

Omfg I typed that before I saw that peepo

[analog gale]

also scattershot support is like 2x damage for single projectile crossbow skills

[still rock]

yeah most the time im just kinda chilling

chillmaxxing

[visual seal]

is it insane?#

[humble rover]

Yeah took even the skills off and relogged, doesnt seem to change anything. As soon as i hit below 20 spirit reserved it bricks

2 gems and 25 spirit is fine

[still rock]

my only gripe is the contagion area for spread is so small

[candid portal]

whats a good rune for weapons for monk?

[still rock]

and area is a bitch to invest in

so far away

[pine elm]

very much so. The guy only use eldrich battery > convert into mana > use some kind of amulet > convert mana into ES.

that's what i heard

[quiet aurora]

does the pen work for srs and minions in general?

[visual seal]

ah

man what is the point of the trading site if no trader ever answers xD

[pine elm]

Even MoM Sorc can get 3k mana but they cant gain any ES.

[visual seal]

6th item i whisper for... no answers

[still rock]

welcome to poe

[north talon]

I mean trading in PoE is awful and that is by design because reasons

[still rock]

i went ssf years ago because of that exact reason lol

[visual seal]

whats ssf

[still rock]

and i learned the game a lot more and loved it more

solo self found

[hoary plover]

why chrono

[still rock]

slows and recoup

and temp rift

[north talon]

Can SSF use the currancy trader? i am playing standard because I want the currancy exchange but otherwise I am just SSF.

[visual seal]

yeah but i take time to find trades and people just dont answer xD

[pine elm]

found it

💀

[still rock]

nop

[last patio]

could a contagion/chaos/freeze/chill build work?

[still rock]

thats kinda what im doing rn tho

diet ssf

[brisk crag]

What skill did you monks use for campaign, or does anyone have a good guide that they used?

[still rock]

i think ive bought one item

[paper cape]

Hay, I am Deadeye Ranger but I really struggle at bosses. is there any build I can follow (and I dont like to build my own I am new I cant do it ) 🙂

[surreal veldt]

what does SSF do? Idk the difference. like no trading?

[north talon]

I've traded with the currancy exchange for some exhaults to slam stuff. But all gear is made/found by me

[vestal idol]

get proper resistance and bosses are aeasy

[still rock]

its epeen and a forced mechanical restriction to support a playstyle people enjoy (and the ladder for it)

but yes no trading

or grouping

[pine elm]

and spam cold witch on act 1 until all unique drops

[surreal veldt]

ohh forced solo and no trading okay gotcha

[pine elm]

[mystic shoal]

anyone have a skill tree screenshot for lightning arrow+lightning rod ranger setup

[still rock]

is that a thing lmao

[pine elm]

yeah

[still rock]

is the unique drop rate stupidly high there

[bold saffron]

can random boots that i get from vendor start with MS affix?

buy* rather

[visual seal]

if i have 30k gold what do u suggest ido wiht it

[still rock]

papa needs me some wanderlust

[true hare]

is there any similar websites for poe2 like lastepochtools for LE?

[pine elm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8pHWMLtJRs&t=490s

you can just stack item rarity.

[still rock]

poe2db.tw

[pine elm]

and farm there like crazy.

[still rock]

sounds boring

[pine elm]

the map is pretty small

so it take like 5-10 seconds to find the boss

[still rock]

i think ill just play normally but thats funny that exists

probably will be hotfixed

[pine elm]

that mean they need to nerf creating new instance

that's the only way this work

[tawny karma]

Firestorm consumes ignites right? but what if if my build is made to make realy big ignites? wont the damage just be wasted if firestorm consumes them???

[bold saffron]

can random boots from vendor have movement speed as its first bonus?

my current boots r ass but i want 10 MS

[frail atlas]

people who invested completely into chaos on the passive tree and in skill gems on witch what did you pick for an ascension

[zinc sparrow]

Is there someone while can tell more or test for me if chronomamcers 33% skill works on grenades? And if the full skill reset gives all charges back or just one?

[dreamy stag]

Welp, reported the Bone Storm bugged interaction

[still rock]

or just have a system to track only one kill on the boss and drop the rarity drop rate on successive kills

which is how it should work ideally imo

[sacred sail]

sorry my discord crashed, just saw it now. earthsatter explodes with warcry but it looks cool. Coming to this game I had a vision make stampede and volcanic fissure works, I gave up 😭. You can share as much as you want, I'll do the same

[pine sparrow]

Hey guys!
Running witch, thinking of going blood mage, mostly now going into energy shield on my path, alongside crit for spells. (just level 15)
I noticed in the tree that physical damage will be the main schmick I think, are there any good range phys. Spells? Or what are your suggestions?
I read that blood mage is for some underwhelming but I think if one goes for crit and apply bleeding and an element like chaos it could be quite fun!

[pine elm]

isnt that kind bad?

🤔

that mean, nobody can farm story bosses

[still rock]

thats counter intuitive to playing the hame normally

[haughty root]

"50% increased Mana Regeneration Rate while moving" Anyone tested to make sure you're counting as moving when continuously holding down a spell to cast now that we move while casting?

Or if we just move slightly back and forth within say a Mana Tempest?

[still rock]

shouldnt be encouraged imo but im not ggg so idrc lol

[pine elm]

no, i mean that sound like bad idea

that mean when ggg introduce some end game bosses like uber or elder

[still rock]

focus more on spell dmg and other dmg increases before crit. crit chance is something you want to invest into later when you have the rest of your damage built up

[pine elm]

reducing drop rate constructive kills would defeat the points of farming bosses

[still rock]

because small amts of crit chance dont do much early

[still rock]

yeah i dont think you should get the same rewards farming bosses thats what i mean lol

[old oriole]

what does this do?

[azure coral]

Do you know for Plasma Beam, would it be better to put Physical Damage 20% Runes or the Lightning Damage 1-20 Runes into the crossbow?

It converts 70% of physical damage, but raw lightning damage seems to add a lot to galvanic

[still rock]

unless u literally miss them with your click

[still rock]

correct

[sacred sail]

easier to ignite, freeze or shock ennemioes

@old oriolewait no

[old oriole]

i thought make it harder?

[still rock]

depends on how much flat you have

[sacred sail]

@old oriole maybe it's the other way around, you'll get ignited, chilled or shocked less often

one of the two

if you have small amt of flat you want more flat if you have large amt of flat you want more %

Can we respec Acendensies ??

no

[true sphinx]

If I attach Energy Barrier or Wind Wave to Wind Dancer, does a hit that triggers Wind Dancer and stuns me count as "being stunned while using the skill"? Or is there just some tiny window after Gale Force activates where the stun needs to happen

[last patio]

can an enemy be frozen and chilled at the same time? and would this node effectively give you 30% extra chaos damage over time with contagion?

[old oriole]

maybe respec but not change,maybe

[twilit cairn]

ye ok would be nice to know if we could respec the points tho

[still rock]

correct, it lowers the enemies chance to inflict elemental ailments on you

[tawny karma]

Firestorm consumes ignites right? but what if if my build is made to make realy big ignites? wont the damage just be wasted if firestorm consumes them???

[still rock]

if you know d&d see it as like an AC for elemental ailments

if not then ignore me

i think imma go mana regen, but does mana regen even matter when i have flask?

ye for bossing

u run out of flasks

[mighty talon]

anyone knows of a source of mana leech for casters?

[high relic]

Is worth to do again some bosses on cruel run? (I know some of them give you 2 skill points, but others like "king of the mist". They don't, right?)

[wind tulip]

you can not have arcane surge twice, right?

[mighty talon]

right

[wind tulip]

(once from stormweaver ascendancy, once from gem)

alright thanks

[last patio]

can an enemy be frozen and chilled at the same time? and would this node effectively give you 30% extra chaos damage over time with contagion?

[mighty talon]

I think it's worth it for the loot

[still rock]

correctz they dont stack

[green elm]

do you need a certain amount of dexterity for evasion rating to work? i legit cant find out why i have no evasion rating, can someone tell me how much evasion they have and what their rating is?

[old oriole]

what's your thoughts on me using like mostly uniques?(6 uniques)

[mighty talon]

probably not. no cause ed and contagion are not elemental ailments but debuffs

[glass dawn]

i need some help with my build i think ive bricked it in a way i cannot kill jamanra or even get up to him now without struggling

[still rock]

probably bad because you need life and resists

[orchid current]

as long as they're useful uniques then its fine

[still rock]

but yeah depends

but im assuming theyre bad lol

[old oriole]

not if i freeze and block every single enemy coming my way

[mighty talon]

go to old zones, farm gold and gear and try to fix it or reroll

[last patio]

but the chill and freeze ARE debuffs, so while they are debuffed by freeze and chill I'd think you'd get 30% more damage from contagion dot right?

[still rock]

no it isnt coupled with dex

[mighty talon]

in that case yes

[old oriole]

oh no

[still rock]

you need eva on gear

[green elm]

ah word ok thank you!

ok great

[mighty talon]

one you can clear fast

[cedar river]

Accuracy doesn't matter at all with grenades right?

[kind nexus]

Is there a Website already for poe2 builds?

[visual seal]

did this get patched? ppl on comments say that it was

[hushed umbra]

Does ignite from different players stack?

[vagrant scarab]

does projectile dmg affect grenades explosion dmg?

[loud grove]

guys do i go chronomancer or stormweaver

[still rock]

if its an attack it needs accuracy

[obsidian merlin]

Probably an obvious question, but just want to confirm: a Triggered spell does not consume the mana cost when triggered correct?

[obsidian grove]

been having a blast with fire stormweaver, but chronomancer looks fun too

[still rock]

you should see your chance to hit on the detailed skill window

[jolly coral]

By mistake I lost my swap skill short cut (you know the one it looks like recycle ♻️) now I can't swap to my secondary skill bar ?, is there an way to find that ? (For PS5) There should be some short cuts for these bindings. if I remove portal to town skill short cut short cut where do I get it back again ?

[still rock]

what skill types do you want to use

[limber mist]

for a invoker monk build with charged staff and a lot of lgihtning skills, what should I be looking for when finding a new quarterstaff??

[still rock]

correct it consumes energy instead

[uncut bay]

which build has more potential in the endgame? cast on crit comet with eye of the winter or archmage spark?

[obsidian merlin]

tyvm @still rock (you've answered a few of my questions in this discord 😉 )

[still rock]

you almost always want flat phys incresed phys % and attack speed

[serene arch]

Would it work to make a build centered around projectile damage, ditching almost everything elemental? Or would it scale terribly?

[bold saffron]

i went from -20 resistances to this @still rock

are u proud of me

[still rock]

holiday at work is slow xD

[uncut bay]

triggered spell absolutely consumes mana, in case of comet it's usually all of your mana xD

[sacred sail]

highest amount of phys dmg and flat ele dmg is good also

[still rock]

oh is that trueM

[limber mist]

how would that increase my damage if all my skills are lightning based?? sorry im new to this game

[still rock]

my b

[uncut bay]

yes I am playing cast on freeze comet

[obsidian merlin]

huh? so what happens?

[still rock]

ah i mustve just tested it eith something that cost like nothing

[uncut bay]

yeah maybe

so if you go cast on freeze/crit + comet you need a huge mana pool and tons of mana regen

and cast on crit should be ofc better in the endgame

[obsidian merlin]

im running shock atm

[still rock]

all attacks that do elemental damage generally have a line in them that converts your physical damage into said element so you want to have a higher throughput with physical damage into the skill so that you have a higher output

[obsidian merlin]

but yeah was toying with comet, and hence the question

[uncut bay]

I see

[obsidian merlin]

due to the mana cost, and im running MoM so want to be careful

[uncut bay]

man there is so hard to get information in this game

what is MoM`?

[obsidian merlin]

Mind Over Matter

[uncut bay]

thanks

[obsidian merlin]

keypassive

[still rock]

and because there's no local percentage increase lightning damage on weapons you want to scale physical damage most of the time

[true sphinx]

Can anyone explain to me what counts as "using" a skill for the purposes of Energy Barrier/Wind Wave/etc?

[uncut bay]

you can cast on crit with some low mana spell

[true sphinx]

I assume it means during the actual casting animation? But you can attach it to skills that have no cast time, like Wind Dancer

[pearl sluice]

Any witches in here that I can ask some questions to?

[limber mist]

i js founda. staff recently with 31 - 72 phys damage and 7-12 fire damage with a 83% increse to phys damage. would this be better than my lghtning damage staff that doesnt have any %boost modifiers?

[molten cipher]

Hi, Anyone willing to hop on a vc and look at my passive tree build plan. New and want some simple advice if anyone can.

[still rock]

post a screenshot of both

[limber mist]

im at school rn 😭

[azure coral]

It's currently flat 170, so 40% would add 68 physical damage. So 238 physical or 166.6 lightning I guess, versus 159, so after mathing found out Physical damage would be better..

[waxen stump]

do we know if this is extra dmg if you are already 100% fire?

[still rock]

so it's probably going to be whatever weapon has the higher attack damage value and then attack speed is an additionally helpful because it'll decrease the animation time on the attack that's pretty much all you need to know

[opal yoke]

Does withered aura stack or something ? Because a 5% increase to chaos dmg taken for 30 spirit cost sucks. Or how can i scale this effect ??

[limber mist]

the phys based one does have a faster base attack speed and im pretty sure more base damage without any runes

[true sphinx]

If a weapon says "X% increased damage" and doesn't specify further, that means the increased damage is local. It makes the weapon better, but that increase is shown in the damage stats already, and it doesn't affect anything not using the weapon

[shrewd heath]

does cruel mode gives more stun resistance to enemies? suddenly i cannot build up primed for stun with my leap (titan warrior specced heavily into stun), on the other hand my basic attack (mace strike) builds up so much stun that mobs instantly primed for stun. i dont understand what changed

[hidden perch]

If anyone here's acquainted with elemental invocation, how do socketed mark spells work? For example freezing mark/sniper's mark/voltaic mark. Which enemy do they apply to, and will the skill make you dash automatically to them?

[limber mist]

interesting thanks

so when im adding runes to a staff, should i add the ones that increase my phys damage or add lightning damage on top of phys?

[true sphinx]

Because the runes are part of the weapon, a weapon with % increased phys should increase the damage of physical runes you add, too. I think.

[solemn fjord]

is there any build planner type situation available for PoE2?

[still rock]

most likely the physical percentage

[true sphinx]

Whether that's better than elemental runes depends on your build- but the phys is probably better

[limber mist]

so what im getting is regardless of build, phys weapons are ususally the play?

[shell shadow]

hey peeps, question. I'm running an lightning archer build so far (lvl 15). I got Orb of storms cause it says it fires when using lightning skills. But i'm unsure if that means my bow skills with lightning tag will proc the extra chain. and if so, do i have to be inside the orb? does my ability has to go through the orb? I'm confused. It doesn't seem to proc the bolt with my skills. It does trigger with my lightning rod, but mor elike the orb triggers the rods

[wraith fox]

Magic find here i come

[obsidian merlin]

Oooff, yeah just tested cast on shock with comet..... that chews up your mana

[limber mist]

bro maxed out his luck stat

[runic umbra]

does increased fire damage affect my minions?

[nova slate]

any way to have multiple curses with witch?

[thin basin]

anyone tried mantra of destruction into bell combo on monk? does it actually works?

[mental valley]

is it possible to go glass cannon build but then respec a little bit/level up and then go a little bit more defense as needed? or not possible

[hoary plover]

big money

[still rock]

if it still works like it did in poe1 stun threshold is based off your max life value so as monsters have more HP they become more resistant to stun

[cedar river]

Seems like I got so much accuracy that I got 100% chance to hit any skill, but grenades explode so I'm unsure if its needed to have accuracy

[worldly pawn]

does hexblast work on blasphemy supported curses?

[still rock]

the chance to hit on your character sheet is an estimation based on what level you are the higher level you get the more evasion rating that mobs have and the higher accuracy values that you need

[cedar river]

And you are sure that counts for the explosion/gas of the grenades as well?

[hollow ridge]

Hey all. I'm wondering how precent added as, and conversion, will interact.

If I have a staff that says 16% added as extra lightning, and call of the brotherhood converts 100% of lightning to cold, am I doing any lightning damage? Or does the added extra also get converted?

[limber mist]

whats the best way to keep your mana up? I use tempest furry as monk and it drains my mana like crazy and i be popping these flasks like water

[still rock]

if it has a chance to hit on your character sheet at all then it should but I'm not 100% sure cuz it's new

[molten cipher]

Maxroll.gg has a build planner for poe 2

[dry pagoda]

How do I meet the reqs?

[real hornet]

I would say the best part about poe2 is that spark no longer gives me eye cancer

[pine sparrow]

Thank you, makes total sense now you say it! Cheers!

[gleaming shuttle]

"when you use" still means active skill use right, same as poe1?

[wraith fox]

get more ascendancy points

[obsidian grove]

ascendancy's dont use normal passive points, you get them seperately and you dont have anymore

[wild dirge]

is it really better to take a +2 skill on amulet? my amulet right now is the unique with +1 limit so I get an extra totem out

[dry pagoda]

ah ok thanks guys, so more trials I guess?

[still rock]

if it works like it did in path of exile one then yes but test it and let me know

[wraith fox]

yes

[fast eagle]

What is better elemental storm or going for double shock with inc shock magnitude?

[worldly pawn]

looks like it works really good actually.

[mental valley]

is it possible to go glass cannon build but then respec a little bit/level up and then go a little bit more defense as needed? or not possible

[candid lion]

Does cold play off of lightning? If I have a lightning staff and put cold rune on it, does it help?

[mighty wing]

how does this converted damage work with lighting/cold infusion

[haughty nexus]

if anyone has gotten access to three dragons, does it prevent skills like flame wall from igniting

[worldly pawn]

since SRS autosummons were nerfed, was lookin at blasphemy + big aoe, which would then be used by hexblast automatically on minion death

[old oriole]

does this enhance ice damage?

[wraith fox]

i got another gear piece with 9% more rarity. im actually lucky af rn wtf

[worldly pawn]

yes, i use this all the time with ice walls, it adds 50%+ lightning damage to the listed cold damage

so if you do 100 cold damage, it now makes the total 150, with a split of 100 cold and 50 lightning

same with basically every spell, its a good buff, and it makes you fly :D

[grand plover]

is there a build for Invoker that plays around elemental expression ?

[fleet oak]

POE 2 IS TO HARD THEY SAID

[still rock]

in terms of increases decreases more and less modifiers to damage the tags are carried over from conversion so in this case if you use cold or lightning infusion you're getting the less % no matter what (assuming it works like poe1)

[wraith fox]

ranged build 😔

[hoary plover]

anyone that calls the game hard probably just has bad gear tbh

[azure slate]

using giants blood for warrior, i am having issues equipting ANY 2h to my warrior now even though I meet all requirements for the 2h no matter which ones I pick up. I do have a 2h already equipped originally and it allows me to continue using it but if I look at ANY other 2h it tells me I am not poweful enough. Am I missing something here?

[mighty wing]

so its a lose lose

[still rock]

correct

[limber mist]

sharing is caring 😅

[still rock]

test and see tho

[mighty wing]

tought as much

[shrewd heath]

i understand that, but i don't understand then why does my basic mace strike instant prime for stun? I use ruthless support gem with mace strike but that says every fifth attack should cause 500% more stun buildup and not every single hit. It feels like every mace strike has this 500%, and i tried with other skills and they did not primed for stun - atleast not instantly. Feels like mace strike and ruthless gem interaction is bugged

[still rock]

I have to look at all of the things going into it but it could just be that you're doing more damage with the skill or that it has an innately higher stun chance which is a thing on skills

[sacred sail]

omgggggg

[real hornet]

I've still been enjoying slapping icewall on top of bosses and watching them self destruct... not sure if it was supposed to be balanced like that but hey, that's nice

[shrewd heath]

yea i do 1,8k with mace strike and 1k with leap, could be that you are right

[atomic latch]

dang that's nice

[fleet oak]

never playing grenades

[still rock]

yes this effectively gives extra lightning damage to all spells cast within it obviously you don't get the chaining though

[limber mist]

how do you find items with that high phys? what act and level are you

[still rock]

stun chance is also affected by damage so that makes sense

[sacred sail]

lvl 60 in act 3. I got two lucky phys mod, look I got it white and crafted all the way

[wraith fox]

that is pretty nnuts

[sacred sail]

it's like a Phys mod + hybrid phys and accuracy

[true sphinx]

I have a stupid question because I just realized I don't actually understand how conversion works now; if you use a weapon skill that converts phys to elemental, that means only elemental modifiers apply, and phys modifiers do not. Does that include % Increased Phys and/or Added Phys on the weapon itself? Or, because they're local modifiers, do they get applied before conversion?

[real hornet]

leap slam enjoyer over here

[mental valley]

whys there no healer class

[wraith fox]

imagine if the phys rolls were a higher tier tho

[limber mist]

wait how does crafting work? sorry to ask you

[sacred sail]

nice, sadly I never managed to make the build I wanted work, volcanic fissure stampede

[wraith fox]

crafting is just you using orbs on an item

[sacred sail]

it's very rng, you just use a currency to add a mod

[split skiff]

What’s better contagion or bone?

[limber mist]

where do you do it?

[still rock]

no like I said above anytime there's conversion the damage type tags retain in the final calculation so if you convert physical damage to fire both physical and fire damage increases will work

[midnight bolt]

Whats the point of ancestral spirits? They seem useless

[vast folio]

in the shop with random items, is there a chance for it to sell you a unique?

[languid fox]

hey guys just started a witch with the goal of being a bloodmage , any advice would be welcome

[wraith fox]

inventory

[limber mist]

oh....

[sacred sail]

@limber mistanywhere, you use different type of currency on item

[midnight bolt]

Spell leech node is bugged and not working so be aware

[limber mist]

oh those i see

[still rock]

and also the local percentage affix on your weapon only affects the throughput damage of an attack it does not factor into final damage calculations if that makes sense

[languid fox]

roger , ty!

[sacred sail]

you disenchant rare to get regal orb shard

[limber mist]

wait is act 3 rlly long bc how ru level 60 in act 3. I js started act 3 and im level 33

[wraith fox]

crafting refers to any orbs you use on an item to get more mods or make it better

[sacred sail]

sorry I meant act 3 cruel so it's like act 6

[wraith fox]

you replay act 1 - 3 after playing through it the first time

[limber mist]

ohhh is that like where you restart?

[limber mist]

yeah alr

[true sphinx]

But they changed it from PoE 1, global modifiers to phys damage ie from passives no longer increase converted damage

[sacred sail]

they didn't added act 4 to 6 yet

mostly done but not finished

[solemn kettle]

What link shortener can I use that won't time me out here?

[still rock]

oh? i have to relearn conversion too? lmfao

[limber mist]

thanks

[still rock]

ill read up on it then

[real hornet]

I can attest though that new energy shield to mana conversion makes mana tanking extremely strong with that arcane surge scaled with max mana ascendancy

[harsh aspen]

im currently using staff on ss 1, but i just got and upgraded quaterstaff on ss 2. im mostly building thru electricity skills. which one is better?

[real hornet]

mana = speed, damage, and tank, what more could you want

[sacred sail]

what matter is the base of item, items have a base so when you level up you can find higher level bases and could try to craft them see if yo uare lucky, I used augment on every mace that got this exact base because it's the best one to me atm

[true sphinx]

That's what I was trying to do lmao. Google is useless nowadays with all the stuff at the top of the results being AI slop pages. I think one was from a RMT website

[sacred sail]

martial weapon have higher phys dps as a base and any phys mod will multiply it or add to it

armour have more defences

and caster weapon I don't think it matter what base you use

🤔

[still rock]

okay so I read the tool tip of conversion and based on the wording it depends on how much is converted from the attack so if you say have a hundred throughput into an attack and it does 100% attack damage then you take that $100 and 60% is converted to fire then you have 60 fire damage. and 40 physical damage. that 40 portion is only affected by increases the physical and that 60 portion is only affected by increases the fire

[vestal idol]

the legionare ascendancy that gives you double support gems is that for all or jsut 1 instance

[molten cipher]

If I use blood magic what happends to you mana regeneration nodes? Is the regeneration just applied to my health instead?

[still rock]

i think its really funny that voice to text gave me a $ on the 100 lol

[real hornet]

it does not

[strange ivy]

how do ranger and merc compare as ranged damage dealers ?

[true sphinx]

So local mods should still work as normal, it's just that every step after that gets weird?

[molten cipher]

Oh so the mana regeneration is just wasted then. Thanks

[wraith fox]

unless stated so, it doesnt

[still rock]

local mods are not affected by the conversion because the local mod only affects the actual damage number on your weapon and then that number is used by the attack damage percentage number of the attack skill

which is what i like to call the throughput

[true sphinx]

Gotcha. Was never 100% sure how local mods actually worked in 1, just that they were. Y'know. Local

[still rock]

but thats not official terminology

[still rock]

basically imagine that your weapon tooltip is its own mini character sheet and that damage number at the top is the final calculation and then that final calculation is taken into account for the percentage of attack damage that you do into an attack

[limber mist]

do you know an efficient way to get the item to add runes. i feel like using armors that already have a rune spot to get one fragment out of ten is super slow

[sacred sail]

is there anywhere I can see the list of the soul cores ?

[modest tulip]

can i get some suggestions on this please? https://poe2db.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/AAAABgoCg1t3Y1pcI3HN-h8fzz7k_pUofKdpHZiESsBEED05hVNY9gg-Z7xGnIQ0Y4VYcyfFJX-9Z-YAkAmQOUIv3X23oDk3tn_7N7stThG4reQIQQFGetkk5JKK_LzwwIYMEsYBUJG48eH8H2227z761TFDfZusrIPBspBkZKCI3wDVHSTNf6uFuX8h7wzj2TRrOm5EjHzOIXm4SZ84I-Hqy990hXh8FULALVTa7UFBUMUCF4c9NZwRpxD6TwxtdSY28KGWja2EFImVwtjTV1cjtTW0i7BtjHCj3g--hcn7l0g4y67o6UgMif5DBzEkvQyP8-S7ni2YTQpYuThuu2jokvGK4d3KHRNfzK8AAA==

[true sphinx]

They can drop separately, like all currency. The fastest way to get more is probably the market, but then you have to deal with the market

[sacred sail]

check mlerchant every level up, there you may find already crafted gear, gear with socket to destroy, good bases to try your luck. If you are struggling against a boss maybe you could check the merchant for higher base of flasks etc...

2 socket = 2 shards

[still rock]

they actually made conversion a lot simpler it seems

thats good

was overly complicated before

[limber mist]

market as in merchants?

[true sphinx]

Naw I mean other players. Though I'm not sure you can use the normal market for currency anymore, it might be locked behind the late game currency exchange

[sacred sail]

doesn't it mean that you can't use conversion skill unless you fully convert them ?

[sacred sail]

maybe because of the update or me being in the sixth act but I'm getting way more loot, things get better

[still rock]

so based on the conversation that plaidstone and I just had I'm correcting my answer to say that modifiers to the final damage type only matter so in the case of call of the brotherhood you'd want to use cold infusion

[limber mist]

thats 4 acts away T_T

[still rock]

what do you mean

[limber mist]

at this point ima go around begging for a level 11 uncut skill gem and rune attachers screw me

[true sphinx]

It means you have to be way more careful with skills that convert damage, because partial conversion can hurt your damage... And I don't think there's any items in the game with physical conversion right now. Not even uniques, afaik

[sacred sail]

if you got a 50% phys 50% fire, you said phys only affect the phys and fire only the fire so you get crappy scaling

while I thought that you get more phys => more phys and more fire

[still rock]

thats how it worked in poe1

you learn something new everyday

[sacred sail]

what aboiut skills that fully convert to lightning

per example

[still rock]

only lightning matters

then

[true sphinx]

Full conversion scales fully with lightning, no awkward split

[sacred sail]

so you can't have a build with a conversion to lightning and then to cold

like no combo

only one element

you don't play around with others

[true sphinx]

Also, damage increases that don't specify phys or an element will work fully regardless of conversion... Assuming you're meeting the other conditions (ie attack for attack damage, spell for spell damage)

[sacred sail]

yeah

should be fine but have to use the weapon swap mecanic then

[still rock]

not sure how the order works now so im not gunna answer cause this is all different lol

[true sphinx]

Multiple elements are actually not that bad if you have easy access to increased elemental damage nodes

[limber mist]

when do you start getting level 11 skill gems?

[sacred sail]

I meant like using a lightning skill then a cold one

[still rock]

it doesnt specify conversion order in the tooltip

[fast eagle]

Which is better to invest elemental storm or shocking twice an enemy?

[sacred sail]

it would be bad because of scaling

unless you switch tree

[still rock]

ah yea

[mental valley]

is there a healing class in poe?

[sacred sail]

no, no real support

[mental valley]

that sucks

[still rock]

link skills will exist eventually

just not at the moment

[sacred sail]

idk about that, who uses those

[true sphinx]

I don't think there's any skill that directly heals besides maybe Vitality, which is a support gem

[still rock]

its in the tree

around templar area

looks like three bubbles

[sacred sail]

you could always have some unique and make unique build x)

[frail garden]

guys how do you get nodes for ascendancy tree

[vestal idol]

i cant choose my ascendancy 😛 i mean i dont know what to choos e:p

[mental valley]

is there healing stuff in poe to create a healing build? idk much about how poe works

[still rock]

not really

life regen if you count that as healing yourself lol

[true sphinx]

Complete the trial that unlocks it, then just allocate the skills. You get 2 for the first trial, then there's extra trials later in the game for 3-4 and 5-6

[sacred sail]

you can only buff your allies

with passives

[frail garden]

okidoki thx

[sacred sail]

if that's what you want

or weaken ennemies

slowing

freezing

shocking

[mental valley]

idk i have afriend who plays healers so

i dont play it myself

[sacred sail]

I see

[still rock]

that's actually pretty cool unique

[mental valley]

but that sounds itneresting if its possible

[still rock]

for minions

[mental valley]

it would be cool having someone who can do that

[weary cobalt]

Anyone playing pure phys xbow?

[sacred sail]

xbow 360?

:p

[still rock]

eventually there wil be a thing called "Link" spells in the game which attach two players together and give buffs and support type bonuses but it is not in early access as of now

it was in poe1

[mental valley]

o nice

btw is there an ability that makes you dash and explode on impact?

[sacred sail]

yyou need big damage for leech so it kinda sucks

but I can see it, like you play with your friend and just put this

[hidden perch]

does hand of chayula bypass the 1 mark per target restriction?

[still rock]

is there minion dmg as your own dmg % scaling anywhere

dont remember the name of the node from poe1

[sacred sail]

there is an unique

a 2 hand mace

they really need to make unique weapon scale with your level, those unique weapon are ridiculously bad

[still rock]

no

[hidden perch]

ok, ty

[still rock]

nothing bypasses mark or curse restrictions aside from increasing the limit

[dawn bronze]

im struggling with boss damage as a cast on freeze stormweaver, any tips?

[rancid vector]

Hey, if I'm playing sorc, planning to go pure spells - is there any reason to choose stats different than +5INT on nodes?

[sacred sail]

try to weave more storm

[humble sedge]

Poison Ranger Skill Tree?

[sacred sail]

xD

[karmic magnet]

Hey, complete beginner here - playing a pathfinder Ranger trying to go for poison build. Found a quiver with "increased damage to bow skills" - does that apply to the poison damage of gas arrow or toxic growth as well?

[sacred sail]

I don't know, I play warrior

[still rock]

in the case of different curse application, it would override whatever curse or mark was on the target before

[blissful dagger]

what do orbs of chance do?

[drifting cedar]

what skills have a cooldown that make chronomancer worth taking, other than hammer of the gods?

[still rock]

I was theory crafting one earlier but I don't have a skill tree yet but I'll let you know if you want when I'm done with it probably like later this week or something

[sacred sail]

you can put hourglass on any abilities, it adds cd and give you more damage, another gems add 6s cd and give like 50% more area or something

[humble sedge]

ill add you on discord whenever youre done minmaxing it please dm me

[still rock]

np

[drifting cedar]

fair enough

[still rock]

im still playing ed contagion for now

want to atleast do some endgame

[blissful dagger]

blasphomy is JOKES

[sacred sail]

with spell cascade and more area, some ability may overlap

[still rock]

needs a lot of curse area

[still rock]

what supports are those

i am old and blind

[drifting cedar]

I was considering doing a quarterstaff chronomancer because tempest bell is quite fun but feeling squishy, but other than the big slow / recoup not sure what to take

[neat scroll]

Is berserk any good?

[blissful dagger]

vulnerability, clarity and energy barrier

[still rock]

temporal rift

its insanely strong

[patent vault]

Guys, am I being silly here or, doesnt the level of the weapon matter at all, as long as its got the stats you want? Eg. a lvl 1 scepter will make the same spelldmg as a lvl 15 scepter if theyre both normal without stats?

[drifting cedar]

yeah I could see that with bosses being more of a war of attrition

[blissful dagger]

not if it comes with a spell

[sacred sail]

ennemies slowed is good

[blissful dagger]

like scepter skeletons wont be the same as your skill ones

[drifting cedar]

problem with temporal rift side is you have to take the conditional 50% cast speed node which does nothing for melee chrono

oh no wait, im reading it wrong

[blissful dagger]

but @patent vault you can get certain buffs that improve spell lvls by one or two

[drifting cedar]

so yeah. temporal rift, aoe slow, and recoup. full tank

[blissful dagger]

for example

[patent vault]

True enough, but that will only affect THAT particular spell right? It wont increase dmg of all my other spells ? Isnt that a weird decision vs. how its usually been where wands has 1-4 dmg and so on?

[still rock]

wait energy barrier works on auras?

[grim aspen]

anyone tried making invoker bow monk?

[mental valley]

is it possible to go glass cannon build but then respec a little bit/level up and then go a little bit more defense as needed? or not possible

[blissful dagger]

yep

[still rock]

lol tf

[still rock]

i thought it was just for channeling shit thats sick

[drifting cedar]

yeah for sure

[blissful dagger]

vulnerability is chaneling 🙂

😉

[patent vault]

yeah, but that wand at lvl 20 with the same stats wouldnt increase other spells dmg, right?

[blissful dagger]

endless cycle

[still rock]

does it actually work though

[blissful dagger]

no

[still rock]

cause decaying hex doesn't in blasphemy

[patent vault]

Like, weapons with skills has NO damage stats for other spells ? Isnt that weird?

[still rock]

but you can still put it in

it just does nothing

[mental valley]

oh nice ty for positive response, also do u think its bad idea to max everything aoe and damage related to comet? cuz i want to make comet a giant nuke where i can just wipe everything with 1-2 comet

[blissful dagger]

your spells are single to there DPS

that wand stats buff everything it says

that spell it gives doesnt lvl up

[dawn bronze]

im struggling with boss damage as a cast on freeze stormweaver, any tips?

[patent vault]

usually spells are affected by the weapons dmg. Interesting design choice.

[spark bronze]

why is fireflower so expensive?

[still rock]

not here

weapon dmg only affects attacks

[blissful dagger]

only the spell it grants you is

[sacred sail]

try to look on youtube, lot of ppl do something similar to you, you can check what they do and compare

[still rock]

this aint d3

[sacred sail]

we don't really know your build

[blissful dagger]

@patent vault

so my sceptor and wand arent the same lvl as my spells

[sacred sail]

@dawn bronzemaybe you have some bads gems that screw you over, I couldn't know but don't tell me I'm playing warrior xD

[blissful dagger]

but it only affects the spells it gives me for free

[patent vault]

yeah, I get that. Its just weird thinking I might as well use a perfect rare lvl 3 scepter with perfect stats (but rolled lower) vs. a mediocer lvl 20 one.

[still rock]

it depends if youre using the skill or not

[patent vault]

Usually the higher lvl wep increses ALL spell dmg in most other games 🙂

[blissful dagger]

thats right

[patent vault]

Im kinda baffled by this. Even though it makes things easier. lol

[blissful dagger]

like it genuinly depends what stats it gives you

[patent vault]

exactly

great, thanks man, thought I was going insane

[blissful dagger]

the only thing id say is

sceptors need to be upgraded

[sacred sail]

it would be a bit different for armour and physiscal weapon

[blissful dagger]

cant be having lvl 3 skeletons running aropund

[patent vault]

thing is my lvl 3 scepter has 135 spirit and +1 to minion skills, which is fking handy even at lvl 19

[blissful dagger]

FUCK YES

thats hot like

dont change that sceptor at all

[atomic cave]

Anyone know if Gas Arrow only poisons one time? Or will it stacks poisons if my cap is highe than 1?

[patent vault]

just feels off not using the one with better stats lol

[patent vault]

only the highest tick lasts. You cant stack multiple, if I remember correctly

[solar isle]

Man my monk feels so squishy even with boosted energy shields off the passive tree and decent armour

[blissful dagger]

my minions be OP

[atomic cave]

Think ya might be thinking of ignite. You can do multiple poison stacks off of tree and pathfinder ascendency.

[patent vault]

DAAAMN that armour. Is the +spirit only for that unique? Or is it a normal chest stat? insane

[patent vault]

ah sorry, I meant without extra modifiers. but yeah

[blissful dagger]

think its only for that unique

[grim aspen]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/e650i032 playing around with elemental invoker bow monk on the tree if anyone has any suggestions?

[blissful dagger]

but idk

[sacred sail]

my god I had my gems in the punch things, no wonder my auto attack felt bad

[patent vault]

damn. +100 is insane lol

[scarlet shadow]

Is stun threshold important for a witch? I pathed through a bunch of nodes with it and want to respec, but it will bankrupt me. Scared I'll spec out of it then find it was keeping me alive. 🤔

[blissful dagger]

cooks your mana tho @patent vault

[patent vault]

it does?

[sacred sail]

do you get stunned/flinched ?

[blissful dagger]

intellegence boosts our mana

that removes that boost

[still rock]

spirit is an affix on magic and rare body armors as well, i think the highest tier goes up to like 61

[still rock]

prefix specifically

[blissful dagger]

thats it off

essentially lose half of your mana

but i do get 9 minions soooo

[scarlet shadow]

No, but I have the talents for it right now. I don't know if it will happen after I spec out of it. 🤔

[dreamy crow]

Anyone here who's gone with a grenade build witch hunter?
If so, which 3rd and 4th ascendancy did you go,
Can't decide as they all seem pretty bad :/

[sacred sail]

it's probably useful but you can always checks respec cost just gold

[sacred sail]

if you don't get stun you don't need

if you do, you need

[simple forum]

good night everyone i have a little problem with my build and i cant find a solution, i got "Cast in Ignite" for my infernalist that asking for 60 spirit and i got 130 but it still not working properly and saying that i dont have enough spirit.

[hazy remnant]

Has anybody found a way to get physical damage converted to lightning?

[blissful dagger]

damn

[scarlet shadow]

Yeah, it's just going to bankrupt me...was kind of hoping somebody else who hasn't invested in it could tell me if they get stunned on ranged characters. It's sadly not easy to switch big parts of the tree back/forth.

[knotty spruce]

man i like my chrono but it sucks seeing my friend dealing way more dmg on stormweaver when were both spark lol

anyone recomend a build thats not a cold chrono?

[sacred sail]

you're cooler though.

[knotty spruce]

true

[indigo berry]

chrono 1 shotter going well (still act3 cruel) but ye

[knotty spruce]

nice lmao

[wheat ferry]

for sorc staff is +2 levels to all spell skills a good modifier and would it be good to upgrade to rare with a regal orb?

[limpid kayak]

can you upgrade items to your current level? say from 16 to level 32?

[knotty spruce]

is that cold archmage?

considered going that but spark seemed fun but rn im dealing jack shit it feels lol

[patent vault]

Guys, as sorc, which buff would be your second lvl 1? Raging spirits was my first. Mana remnants or arctic?

[indigo berry]

no

it's wall bomber chrono

[knotty spruce]

cool

[mental valley]

is cast on freeze a gem?

or what is it

augment?

[timid cloud]

guys i wanna buy an item its sayin 0.5 exalted orb, so how should i give .5 exalted?

[patent vault]

yup, lvl 2 support

[mental valley]

are gems something you can just go for? or is it all rng

[knotty spruce]

might try and make melee monk chrono or smth

[pine elm]

get mana remnants

it has mana regeneration on it, so it's good to have it once you unlock support gem for it

[patent vault]

I was lucky to get a 2nd one in act 2 alrdy lol

[void barn]

Is hexblast/impending doom a viable build as blood witch?

[mental valley]

so its all rng?

or can u farm for it

[patent vault]

feel like its the better choice yeah. Arctic dmg doesnt seem very good

[patent vault]

rng

[still rock]

i think i found a datamined unique affix that was 80% phys to lightning but i dont think its in the game rn

[mental valley]

why isnt there a way to farm for it

[still rock]

couldnt find the unique itself tho

[hazy remnant]

I see, just kinda sucks cuz a lot of skills don't fully convert so it's ??? to invest in the elemental damage

[patent vault]

yeah could remake a char and kill mist guy again tho. Kinda easy farm.

[gritty junco]

can you add sockets to corrupted items or socket runes in if they already have sockets?

[mental valley]

bruh im not remaking a char to do that

ther ehas to be a way to get it

buyable on market?

[patent vault]

thats probably the easiest farm 😛

[still rock]

yeah im sure itll be more accessible as time goes on

[obsidian grove]

they just drop off any mob

[worldly pawn]

does life thief on minions heal you, or heal the minion?

[still rock]

they probably want damage conversion to be rare

since its extra strong now

[mental valley]

so its high chance to get it right

[obsidian grove]

your talking about skill gems?

[mental valley]

yea cast on freeze

[blissful dagger]

oh hsit

[patent vault]

I dont think buff skill gems drop very often. and cast on freeze is lvl 2 support gem

so maybe in later lvls

[mental valley]

i feel like theres no way this game locks u out of the support gem if u dont get it first try killing some boss

[still rock]

just keep playing they drop at higher rates later

[worldly pawn]

cast on freeze is a spirit gem, not a support gem

[obsidian grove]

lv2 spirit gems drop randomly later in the game

[patent vault]

yeah I was talking about buff/spirit gems

oh no

fck sorry.

[languid fox]

is chaos mainly paired with skeleton minions?

[knotty spruce]

Man im so depressed seeing jack shit online on chrono builds other than cold xd

[patent vault]

mb

[winged geyser]

Keep on playing and you will get it. Eventually you get more gems than you can realistically use

[toxic bay]

are there any mana passive traits interaction with the infernalist demon flame mechanic?

[mental valley]

thanks

[mental valley]

thx

[sacred sail]

@winged geyseryoooo

dinkle

[winged geyser]

Hi

[sacred sail]

do you think there is a way toi make stampede work ?

[winged geyser]

I have no clue

[sacred sail]

I find this ability realy cool

but really bad

[winged geyser]

I just have my skills that I use.

[proper pagoda]

Yo what are the meta ways to get power charges for flicker

[winged geyser]

In my experience it is really easy to make the warrior do good damage, so I doubt its that bad.

[halcyon solar]

Does the Gem tab have this Blue Gem as a symbol?

the Gem stash tab

[late night]

Do low level uniques also drop at higher levels with adjusted stats?

[sacred sail]

remember I couldn't even clear trash with it 😅

[dawn bronze]

is it decent?

also whats light radius

[sacred sail]

got a beast weapon

[winged geyser]

I'm clearing trash packs with a 0 damage link earthquake so theres no way it does THAT bad of damage. Probably have to get damage from elsewhere. Are you using infernal cry + endurance charges?

[still rock]

no they stay the same affix roll ranges but their ilvl goes up (which doesnt affect anything in poe2 from what i can tell atm)

it may affect something but not important now

[buoyant pewter]

how are you generating end charges?

[late night]

Dang so my level 2 unique Sorc staff won't get any better late game. That's a bummer

[winged geyser]

Endurance charge support +break armor on stun on earthquake. Gives you 20% chance to get a charge on stunning.

[radiant yarrow]

if I do pure lightning damage, it doesn't get blocked by armor on other enemies right?

[winged geyser]

I dont remember what the supports are called thats just what they do

[buoyant pewter]

ah yea im trying to be able to run that on rolling slam

[last patio]

I saw someone doing a TON of damage with contagion, what do I need to make it good? Currently it does so little DoT that I can barely see it moving

[still rock]

oh you mean like the weapon skill from the base type?

that level might go up

but the unique affixes stay the same

[dawn bronze]

any1 has an idea if this is worth anything?

[still rock]

sir this is a build planning channel

[dawn bronze]

where do i ask that question then lol

[buoyant pewter]

put it in a dump tab bro

[winged geyser]

Its probably not worth anything.

[dull tundra]

Is increased phy damage better or add

[mental valley]

what does mtx mean

[dawn bronze]

thats what i wanted to know, thaanks

[winged geyser]

Maybe an exalt for someone as leveling gear

[crisp cipher]

put it in a public dump tab for an exalt, if you get spammed by whispers for it, you know you've put it too low

[gray sail]

I need a skill that does a lot of hits to trigger this on crit effect, any ideas?

[north talon]

Daze buildup seems pretty undwelming

[crisp cipher]

other than that, start looking up similar stats on a one handed mace on the trade website & see the prices they end up with

[still rock]

i sent you an invite on discord to a server more made for trading and price checking

[neat laurel]

what runes do we think for this ? I got 2 slots. Either double res or I was thinking double percentage evasion increase which is like 20% per rune

[buoyant pewter]

lmfao mods

[winged geyser]

Id say resistance. Getting res capped is very important

[dense thorn]

Ughhhh my buddy disregarded our warnings and built and early game tank with no damage. No hes mid game and road blocked. He cant kill a thing. Pissed at the devolopers he is but truth is its his fault. Unless they add some better early game skills for a tank player.

[neat laurel]

does cold resistance reduce the chances of getting frozen ?

[sacred sail]

😭 as you can see it's pretty low

[winged geyser]

Indirectly yes

[cold lantern]

culling strikes is so good

[still rock]

technically yes because its based on the dmg

[neat laurel]

let me rephrase

does the buildup of being frozen get reduced

based on the amount of cold res I have

[winged geyser]

I wouldnt pay attention to skill sheet damage. Very unreliable.

[still rock]

again technically yes because its based on the damage

lol

[neat laurel]

ye sorry was thinking it was the same thing but nvm I am just lacking understanding

ty

[still rock]

it doesnt affect the buildup portion of the calculation after the dmg though

if that helps

[winged geyser]

Id say your best bet is link up infernal cry with damage supports and get rage gen

[neat laurel]

just slammed with double cold res

seems to be the most problematic anyways

[still rock]

at res cap youd want to have elemental ailment threshold to mitigate that

is the long answer lol

[winged geyser]

Freeze buildup is based off the damage you take, so if you take 1000 cold damage with 50 cold res, you will take 500 cold damage and it will build up your freeze accordingly. If you have 75 res, you will take 250 cold damage, which will also half the amount of freeze buildup your taking

IMO put in a cannot be frozen charm and ignore the mechanic cuz its hars to build around without immunity to it.

If only we had more than 1 charm slot sadge

[still rock]

very intentionally 3

it seems

[sacred sail]

@winged geyserlmao not joking, some white mobs they tank itand my weapon is cracked

[winged geyser]

I have yet to see a belt with more than 1 charm slot

[halcyon solar]

What Store Stash Tab is the one with the Blue Gem as a symbol. First i thought it would be obviously the Gem Tab, but it's simply an empty Container.

[sacred sail]

maybe it's just inconsistent

[winged geyser]

Your weapon def could be a lot better. The phys damage roll on it is low. Also get infernal cry and link it up. Its effectively 2-3x damage multiplier on every attack.

[sacred sail]

👍

[winged geyser]

You can 100% make any warrior skill do very good damage.

[modern crane]

Hello
Where do you advice to check passive tree builds?
Coz IDK
Im a mercenary, lv 12 only

[still rock]

its an affix apparently

[winged geyser]

Wtf gross

[still rock]

+1 and +2

[sacred sail]

if I could find a way to put more jagged ground it would be nice

[still rock]

different tiers

[winged geyser]

You shouldnt need more jagged ground.

[still rock]

atleast according to db

could be wrong

[winged geyser]

Stampede with infernal cry and 1 or 2 damage links should be enough to murder trash packs

[neat laurel]

is shield charge a skill or a specific shield base =?

[winged geyser]

I think you're right and that is pain

[sacred sail]

sometimes it does, most time it doesn't unless I proc some aftershock, I hope I can make it work

my dream was volcanic fissure and stampede like in the video

[prime ginkgo]

hello guys, is the physical damage can be converted in elemental or it's not like this anymore ?

[winged geyser]

It sounds to me like you arent scaling your damage very well. You should be able to kill trash with basically any warrior skill.

It might not be great but it should do enough to 1 shot trash

[fast idol]

is there a place people have posted there builds here?

[north talon]

Trash packs should be dying with almost no effort from warrior

[sacred sail]

I have no issue with any other abilities

[winged geyser]

There are probably some ways to do it aside from skill gems but it's very rare. Not something you xan build around without having a sourxe for it first

[sacred sail]

that's my tree

[zinc vortex]

Is the SRS nerf live yet? Im still spawning skulls with my fire wall just fine

i think it aint

[winged geyser]

Rage would be a lot of damage for you.

[north talon]

SRS nerf is live, if you weren't doing specific abuse cases then you likely won't notice much

[sacred sail]

got 6 rage each time I get hit

[winged geyser]

General tree seems fine though. Prob just need infernal cry

[sacred sail]

I see, I use it

difficult not to

[winged geyser]

From what? A rage gem?

[sacred sail]

26% as with four points

[pine elm]

"if you have been hit before"

Me while waiting boss and hoping not to get 1 shot.

[winged geyser]

I guess that works, kinda inconsistent though

[sacred sail]

since I play warrior I can one shot bosses when stun them

[brazen needle]

got a quick question, went acolyte of chayula on my monk, got reality rending (bonus chance for bonus chaos damage on hit) doesn't say anything about applying to the skills I use, is it working and just not showing?

[sacred sail]

worst case I stun twice

and they deado

[pine elm]

i'm loving the burst so far, but when i took this, i didn't realized how squishy i was

it was hilarious

😂

[sacred sail]

I keep dying while trying to slam

to packs

😭

so I RUSHED attack speed

[pine elm]

i was like "ok i'm ready to get that extra atk speed"

2 seconds later "resurrect at the nearest checkpoints"

[restive furnace]

Is SRS still worth it after the Nerf?

[heavy sparrow]

this not being connected is killing me

[sacred sail]

lol

evil

[heavy sparrow]

just another 4-6 travel points (if you include the 30% ignite chance two nodes) ... tough

[pine elm]

yes

They only nerf the grim part where u get unlimited refersh on energy shield

otherwise, it's still viable
