2┃build-planning

[old shuttle]

Something like that

[brave trench]

is "gain X% of damage as" affected by my multipliers? like say i get lightning dmg, will it be bosted by lightning dmg %?

[old shuttle]

Wish I could hover on mobile. Cannot though sadly

[atomic kindle]

ah i see i didnt look too hard at skill gems yet i have a good idea of what they do just dont know specifics. but the double curses + -40% activation delay makes that good no?

you apply two curses in 1.2s

and with all the area you shouldnt have troule keeping them in it for that long

[warm kraken]

Depends on wording so if it’s X percent increased lightning damage for example that goes into the additive pool if it’s X percent more lightning damage that goes into the multiplicative pool and if it’s X percent to y percent lightning damage that is another base that gets multiplied by any general increases to damage or increases to its tag in this case lightning

[solemn island]

Not on to look, what does breaking armor do again?

[atomic kindle]

100 +30% increased + 30% increased = 160dmg 100 +30% increased + 30% more = 169dmg

[warm kraken]

Of which would then be added to your other bases at the very end of all the other damage calculations

[old shuttle]

Yeah fair. My plan is just. “Hand of chayula hella curses (especially the chaos res reduce)” then trigger the “deal dmg based on curse count”

[solar harbor]

if i have a piece of gear that gives "gain x mana per enemy killed" does that work if my minions kill enemies?

[old shuttle]

It should Phil yes

[solar harbor]

hmm nice

[atomic kindle]

DD (+sacrifice) enjoyer XD

[old shuttle]

Relentless Vindicator also is a solid node IMO

From your path Zog

I plan on going to it eventually

Good nodes on the way cause I’m doing blood mage

Invicated efficiency may also be good to boost dmg of the Chayula grasp

[warm kraken]

I’m a dead eye lightning, build, and the only complaint I’ve had up until act TWO cruel has been my frames tanking

[trim forge]

Happens

ARPGs are processor heavy

[warm kraken]

Fs

[atomic kindle]

ty ill give them a look

[warm kraken]

I would try out the cold Bill, but I do have a feeling that might be getting hit here soon. The damage that you can pump out is insane.

Build

[old shuttle]

Fingers crossed we get the doedre ring though Zog haha

[atomic kindle]

i mean vindicater is pretty out of the way for what 10dmg crit is cool i spose but my build doesnt have any crit

[old shuttle]

+1 curse and all res would be lovely

[old shuttle]

Yeah for me getting the STR and INT are nice along side the HP regen cause I’m using a lotta HP

[atomic kindle]

heard all of my hp is gunna be from int instead of strength so not the best pick for me

[old shuttle]

Solid nodes for some defence for me is all

But yeah there’s just a lot of good STR support gems

[atomic kindle]

the invoker one is cool i could debate that one forsure im just not super sure how often im gunna invoke when im playing witch not monk

[warm kraken]

Anyone know what evasion percent cap or soft cap is

[atomic kindle]

plus its spells not curses so nvm that doesnt work either

[old shuttle]

I mean the curse that deals dmg surely scales

Not sure though

[atomic kindle]

im dumb forget what i just said

its 6 am for me

[dull owl]

thinking about going 2nd build as after getting to maps ive found the areas are far too big for how slow i am and it just feels awful to play. anyone found anything that stacks a lot of movespeed or soemthing?

[old shuttle]

Not level 42 yet so idk. I’ll hopefully be there tomorrow

[limpid plover]

Does anyone know about how much damage %penetration actually gets you? Like I imagine it's not an equal increase in damage but how good is it?

[old shuttle]

Like lvl 40 currently

[dusty bear]

can the added damage from Flame Wall be converted?

[old shuttle]

Better vs bosses

The tanker the boss the more impactful

Let’s say you have 20 pen. That means against a boss with 80% res you’d get 2x dmg cause of it

[royal badge]

Curses can bring res into the negative but pen cannot right? And both apply flatly to the res%?

[slender fern]

can someone tell me which stash tabs to buy first

[old shuttle]

Yes I believe

[old shuttle]

Currency is best

[limpid plover]

Oh nice, so 20 pen being 20% pen?

[old shuttle]

Everything else is personal preference

[warm kraken]

Currency 4X normal upgrade, one to premium and then anything else you want is what I would do if I went back and did it again

[slender fern]

ok

[old shuttle]

Ye. The enemy would go from 80 res to 60 res. Meaning you go from dealing 20% dmg to 40% dmg. So a 2x boost

Meaning pen is great vs tanky enemies

But big res curses will kinda do a lot

[slender fern]

so you mean buy currency one four times?

[old shuttle]

Making pen a bit less useful. But still good. But also pen goes first

[royal badge]

Does faster debuff expiry include elemental ailments? In the ranger side of tree

[old shuttle]

Nah a single current tab

[fiery briar]

Do totems scale of weapon damage and %increased melee and 2 hander damage nodes?

[warm kraken]

No, no no no no one currency tab for normal tabs. They have a bundle of four. And then upgrade one normal tab to premium so that you can trade unless you’re only playing solo cell found.

My bad my text to speech is terrible one currency. For normal bundle. And then upgrade one normal stash tab to premium so that you can sell items.

[sly jay]

Dumb question but what does this mean with "chance"? Doesnt ailments build up with elemental dmg, so does this increase it or have like a % chance to instantly get freezed or something?

[solemn island]

There's a passive to increase damage against enemies with broken armour, right?

[warm kraken]

Four*

[limpid plover]

Build is kinda meh I think, but is this decent damage for around lvl 45?

[old shuttle]

It’s a bit of both

When you deal damage it has a chance based on damage

[serene minnow]

anyone know if this actually consumes the minions its being used on? https://poe2db.tw/us/Sacrifice

[old shuttle]

You can hover chill to see iirc

[topaz thunder]

quick question. Is damage tied to ailments. if I put a support gem an ice spell that reduces it's damage does it also reduce the amount of freeze buildup I do?

[bold saffron]

how does mage survive early acts? i feel like energy shield is just useless

[limpid plover]

I think so, since your chance to inflict is based off damage dealt

[bold saffron]

im playing with half hp lol

[brave trench]

wait how are you getting hp from int

[cold lantern]

Bruh this anygood

[atomic kindle]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ea8sq03i

[old shuttle]

Yea pretty good

MOM making MANA = HP is good

[brave trench]

oh you meant mana. thats not the same as hp but sure

[old shuttle]

Yea it is?

[old oriole]

can socket skills in meta skill have supporgems equiped to them?

[old shuttle]

Yes

Not sure how it works with multiple things though

[atomic kindle]

@brave trench its called MOM (mind over matter) take damage from your mana instead of HP so the more mana i have the more HP i have

[warm kraken]

I believe for my testing with shock that the percent chance to shock(ailment) that comes from your damage is the base value and any increases to it is multiplied for example say my damage is enough where it is a 30% chance to shock and I get a 15% increase chance to shock it feels like the math is 30 * 1.15 =34.5% chance to shock

[old oriole]

the usual five sockets right?

[brave trench]

yeah i know

[scenic wagon]

Hey guys, thoughts on giants blood? Can you ever make the str requirements of late game weapons to make it worth running it?

[old shuttle]

Cause blasphemy + curse eff + a curse works

[atomic kindle]

aight you asked lil bro XD

[quick ridge]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH i'll lose my shit trying to complete jungle ascendency

you have to complete all 10 rooms?! D:

[old shuttle]

But I haven’t tried with a second curse T the same time so IDK

[snow prairie]

Can chaos damage benefit from crits?

[old shuttle]

Yes

But DOTS cannot

So be careful

[snow prairie]

Righttt I was thinking with Profane ritual building power charges I'd make my DoTs crit periodically

[old shuttle]

A crit hit essence drain will deal the same damage

Just the impact will do a little more, which is clearly kinda useless

[snow prairie]

yeah no good.. back to the drawing board

Spell damage affects chaos damage though right?

[toxic walrus]

does arc count as a hit?

[covert fossil]

Yes

[old shuttle]

It should

If it’s from a spell

[snow prairie]

So improving spell damage for Contagion/ED should increase the DoT dmg also?

[old shuttle]

Yea

[snow prairie]

Sorry i got a lot of questions >.< thanks for helping

[old shuttle]

Nah no worry

I’m building similar xd

[snow prairie]

Oo can I show you what I've got so far?

[old shuttle]

I’m on mobile so maxroll is poopy butt

[snow prairie]

ahh dang no worries... the idea is to go Blood mage for the perma curses with Enfeeble

increase its affects to perma reduce the damage mobs deal

[old oriole]

this good or bad? im freeze build up sorc

[snow prairie]

but i'll pop impending doom on it with decaying hex

[hushed umbra]

Is it better than your current armour?

[toxic walrus]

what is the difference betwen mana regenerate and mana recovery?

[old oriole]

that is for sure, im just wondering in general, is it a good item(my current is like lv16 unique)

[hushed umbra]

Regen is passive, recovery is "active"; leech, mana flasks....

[hushed umbra]

looks meh but if it's an upgrade for you it's great

[old oriole]

what does an armor need to be great?

[toxic walrus]

MoM should works wll on mana stacking?

[clear idol]

I'm running a 4 damage type Merc and just cycling between ammo types based on enemy resistance. Is this feasible in the long run?

[hushed umbra]

A lot of defence and decent resistance.

[clear idol]

I went gemling so I could double up gems so one ammo type wouldn't suffer if they need similar gems

[old oriole]

so hight tier es and high tier resistances, i see, how many resistance should be in one armor to be considered great?

[hushed umbra]

1 damage type is usually better since it makes reducing enemy resistances easier.

[mortal cloak]

any suggestions for grenade/frag shot build?

[silent prawn]

most of the dmg just scales with Phys. so feel free to keep it up

[hushed umbra]

at least 40 % combined imo

[clear idol]

That what I was thinking everything seems to basically convert phys to the damage type

[old oriole]

oh so we calcuate with combined, okay

[hushed umbra]

well 30 + 5 + 5 probably isn't ideal but 20 + 20 is fine

[clear idol]

Its just nice having options that feel more optimal for the enemies I'm facing

[old oriole]

and does that go for body armor or any piece of gear? that isn't weapon

[frozen mason]

After a few days of playing, my titan summoner is finally coming together.
The second Ascension was a huge power boost, multiplying all small nodes by 1.5 and and now I'm just comfortably stacking armor and resists after reaching 5-6 Arsonists because you won't be exploding Raging Spirits any faster than their commands come off cooldown anyway
Got most of the minions nodes in that tree already now, so now I'm just focusing on defenses:
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/p18uo0h0

What supports are people using on arsonists to get a good mix of attack damage and maximising their explosion command?

[faint lantern]

any incinerate players? Can I use cast on ignite with it?

[hushed umbra]

well, hats can have +x to gem levels, boots need to have MS, gloves can have castr/attack speed...

It all depends

[orchid torrent]

does hypothermia work with blasphemy

[atomic kindle]

how does cirt work with aliments/debuffs?

[thin basin]

anyone knows if close combat works on the bell?

[old oriole]

nice nice , i rly like learning like this, is there any specific piece of gear that could have area of effect/cold damage/freeze build up or something similar to that on them?

[narrow pelican]

When I put skills on the Skillboard to Standart instead of I or II does this matter?

[vague kelp]

what procs cast on ignite?

[kindred dawn]

Anyone doing essence drain? Any tip for landing on contagion?

[alpine summit]

flame wall

[vague kelp]

does hellhound ignite passive or support ignite passive proc it? or does raging spirits aa proc it?

[solar harbor]

it does not

[manic drift]

thus any know where can I find the fire exporuse skill?

[solar harbor]

incinerate

[woven sinew]

Has any1 seen an Offering Wand yet?

[thin basin]

P sure reap staff and exsang wand isnt in the game

[orchid torrent]

does blashempy+hypothermia actually work, i cant tell

[hasty marten]

I've decided on a lightning focused quarterstaff sorceress/stormweaver for one of my builds. (Double shock application, massive lightning crits leeding to big ele bleeds)

Any recommendations for unique, skill tree nodes, or anything game changing I might not be aware of?

[woven sinew]

I hate that. They need to add them in so us bone storm enjoyers can actually have a clearing spell

[solar harbor]

Does anyone know if i spec into fire penetration in the passive tree does it work for my hellhound too?

[thin basin]

Yea i made my first build around it thinking it was in the game

[woven sinew]

Same

hit maps and I dislike how bad it is at clearing them.

[thin basin]

Trade site doesnt have auto complete on the base so thats why ia ssume its not there unless its like a pinnacle boss drop or something

[hasty marten]

I plan on stacking INT for the lightning node that adds to lightning max damage

[silent prawn]

don't trust PoE2db for everything.
some items are behind Act4-6 that are not yet in game.

[old oriole]

why can't i find rare golves with cast speed?

[mortal cloak]

Anything obvious I'm missing or doing dumb for Frag Shot/Nade build?

[vague kelp]

if i do raging spirits wiht infernal legion and wildifre. it works?

[pearl sluice]

Potentially dumb question - does casting Shockwave Totem count as an attack?

[native burrow]

In the Infernalist tree, what exactly would + 10 Demon Flame do for me? The description doesn't say anything about a maximum amount of Demon Flame.
(screenshot frm maxroll build planner as im not in game atm)

[thin basin]

it cap your lifelost to 5%

[native burrow]

Ahhh nvm, its maximum 10, not 10 to the maximum

[thin basin]

perma demonmode enable

[native burrow]

I'm only 30 guys, reading aint easy gimme a few more years

[vital hornet]

How do I properly use weapon specialization points?

[lunar flume]

Maybe I'm missunderstanding something, but I picked this node while using Eldric Battery and my mana didn't go up, how come?

[thin basin]

have 1 skill point spare, now you can put 1 in weapon 1 set and 1 in weapon 2 set

[formal meadow]

shouldn't minion offerings then proc the timer to respawn the minion? i sacrifice a warrior but it still says "2" summoned

the timer starts, but then counts to 0 then starts again

[uncut ibex]

what in the world is the use case for zombies? They just seem like a worse unearth, especially since you also need to generate power charges to use them to full potential. what am I missing here

[vital hornet]

Nah, I meant more as a strategy, should I use it only on dead-end branches for boosts or something like that? Also it seems I can't spend points from my first weapon set anymore for some reason.

[vital hornet]

Chunky meat shields. Sometimes useful in boss fights with limited number of corpses.
But overall, yes, very limited application, especially since power charges are time limited too.

[uncut ibex]

yeah that's what I've gathered. seems very niche though? Feel like maybe on a weapon swap they'd be worth it for me. Loving summoner but struggling with these zombies

[formal night]

are they nerfing cast on shock?

[dull owl]

so there's basically no way to get a build feeling fast right?

[uncut ibex]

mathil has a super speed monk going

[limpid plover]

Does anyone know how you "consume" an ailment? like shock for example

[urban sequoia]

shield or focus for sorc ?

[uncut ibex]

Yeah I was trying to get them in my build earlier, but I was using profane ritual for power charges, and I've found that my witch, if anything, needs all the gem slots I can hand her.

[formal meadow]

i use zombies with infernal legion and minion instability with skeletal snipers and gas arrow

[fallen crane]

Does he have a guide or some tips? I want to try out monk myself

[vital hornet]

Technically there are support perks that give extra power charge with 50% chance on corpse ritual. And there are gem that gives 33% chance to not spend power charge. I haven't tried it though.

[uncut ibex]

yeah it's on his youtube. nothing formal though I think

[dull owl]

i saw this but in the gameplay ehs just walking round at the normal slow ass pace

so i dont get how its super speed

[uncut ibex]

you use many mobility skills i guess is what I meant. it looks pretty snappy to me

[uncut ibex]

yeah good point. well thanks for the answer, I may just leave them on the bench for now lol

[north bison]

do i need minion accuracy nodes on the skill tree for arsonist minions?

[solemn island]

Dumb question, and not in game to try it, don't think you can, but can you dual wield the same unique weapon in each hand?

[winter gale]

@north bison i have none and its doing fine

[thin basin]

tree 1 for clear/curses/defense tree 2 for full damage for boss burst? something like that

this assume u have atleast 2 decent weapon tho lol

[uncut ibex]

I have had no luck on weapon swap as summoner

it always breaks my reserved summons

[thin basin]

or u can just do tree 1 curse effect tree 2 normal use so you can get free curse effect when you use them and doesnt require 2 weapons

[silent prawn]

if they can be DW then yes

[tall valve]

What do i use make a socket on a sorc staff?

[vital hornet]

Now I'm curious if you lose specialization points when you use Demon form.

[distant glade]

Currently the strongest version of monk I’ve played if anyone is curious

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/7f5b555a-e4b6-4ade-b622-1632bfb73546/builds/32ef2423-2ae1-4802-a309-ef01978c6112

[thin basin]

does the details stat give you the option of what tree to use?

[lapis copper]

How much spirit should I have after finishing act 2 chaos difficulty. Ranger only from quests

[orchid torrent]

does someone have the math of cast on freeze, I still don't get how maximum energy vs 100 energy vs everything else quite works

[silent prawn]

60

[uncut ibex]

Like for weapon swap? yeah there's a little tick box at the bottom.

[thin basin]

for demon form

[uncut ibex]

oooooooooh sorry. I don't know 😦

the weapon swap system is hella bugged around spirit res anyways so I don't use it

[urban sequoia]

what runes to use in spark sorc?

[bold saffron]

can someone help me figure out why im so squishy with this build

i genuinelly feel like cruel act 3 has been insanely hard for me while early acts were a joke

almost feel like i cant progress further

[silent prawn]

bolster your resistances

[trim forge]

Res, low ES, no armor/evasion

[bold saffron]

is 1k shield low?

[uncut ibex]

Get those res's up to 75 or as close to as possible my man

[trim forge]

For cruel? A bit on the lower side

[bold saffron]

almost all of my nodes have resistances thats p muchas high as i can go idk

[trim forge]

But mostly add in another layer, mostly evasion sicne it's closer to path to and makes sense with how ES works

[uncut ibex]

you need gear to round out res

[urban sequoia]

ty, is shield considered wepon ?

[trim forge]

You get more res from gear

[bold saffron]

every gear piece has some kind of elemental res

[formal meadow]

get res on gear, then use runes for more res on gear

[bold saffron]

like anywhere from 20-30+

ring has 8% res for all elements etc

[uncut ibex]

yeah that's not a lot of res lol

[misty stump]

Running infernalist fire spell focused build, only minions are arsonist and SRS. Plan is to use Cast on Death to spam firestorm. Is firestorm good boss dam? Or is there another good fire spell for boss damage

[last kite]

did you find out an answer?

[flint orchid]

How does Sorceress get "Meta Skills gain 8% increased Energy."? I don't see it in the passive tree...

[last kite]

repost: hey guys! if i hold alt on chayula monk's "into the breach" it says quality can affect it. but is there really a way to increase it's quality? gemcutter's prism does not seem to be an option.

anyone knows?

[silent prawn]

yes and no
it can get runes tho

[bold saffron]

well the funny part is i need to rescue the girl so i cant access her shop LOL

[bold saffron]

can u show ur gear pieces

[uncut ibex]

oh I have garbage tier res I'm not saying that I'm doing great on gearing

but I'm playing a summoner so I rarely get hit

[bold saffron]

i mean u lose 10 per act so i had like 50-60s before

now its just trash again

[gaunt violet]

just go cast on freeze with comet before they nerf it

[bold saffron]

im dying in 2 seconds of standing still

[verbal crystal]

What’s better armour or energy shield equipment or Stormweaver?

[bold saffron]

that's not helpful sorry

[waxen stump]

is it me or demon form straight up trash? since you lose your weapon while shifted?

[bold saffron]

im playing fire/shock

[thin basin]

i think all build does in current poe2

[waxen stump]

just realised this

[thin basin]

lol

[misty stump]

Whats your passive tree look like

Feel like you can get ES higher

[uncut ibex]

have you played much PoE1? you need to be moving around a ton in this game

thank you WASD movement

[bold saffron]

maybe i got too greedy going for fire dmg node be4 ES idk

im working on essence infusion now

but thats gonna take a while and doesnt even feel like itll solve much lol

[misty stump]

This node would do you wonders, and others like it

[bold saffron]

i tried it actually, didnt do anything lol, like +200 shield

[lusty ice]

i got a question: if a minion who explodes deals explosive dmg which came from another source like the arsonist does the damage count coming from the monster that exploded or arsonist

[bold saffron]

the issue is shield gets broken in trash mobs fights and it never regenerates

[misty stump]

200 shield for only 3 points away is pretty nuts

[bold saffron]

yeah but u get tickled once and it stops regen

so it doesnt help xd

[uncut ibex]

there are nodes that will lower the cool down until regen starts I think?

[misty stump]

Get regen nodes

[bold saffron]

the thing is

it doesnt help like

IN THE FIGHT

[little rock]

does orb of storm apply conduction with galvanic?

[bold saffron]

sure its cool to regen it back quick to full

i get it

[uncut ibex]

it does though. you shouldn't be taking literal constant damage

[bold saffron]

but when i try to clear the room

it drops to 0

[uncut ibex]

like you should be able to step away from the damage for 2 seconds

[bold saffron]

and never regens

and im dodging 24/7

[gaunt violet]

stay away a few seconds and it will regen

[misty stump]

If your issue is mapping, i recommend using spirit on grim feast

[bold saffron]

rather than doing actual dmg

[misty stump]

And max out your ES

[abstract mountain]

how do you achieve reliable power charge generation?

[uncut ibex]

yeah sometimes you have to take a break from blasting to regen

[bold saffron]

do mages get block

amor

[misty stump]

If you get the right pieces for it

Requires strength tho usually

[thin basin]

resonance and combat frenzy if you can reliably freeze or electrocute

its pretty free

[night hemlock]

does anyone know if it’s worth speccing into a phys damage quarterstaff for an ice strike focused monk since it converts from phys into cold? or is it more worth going full cold from the outset

[azure maple]

What does cast on minion or ignite even do?

I dont ge what energy does

[thin basin]

it automates some stuff for you

[azure maple]

what stuff

[thin basin]

whatever you want

spells

curses

marks

[orchid torrent]

does this work with arctic armor? idk what single use refers to but you are always moving while arctic armor is on

[north nymph]

Would a ranger build focusing on Evade, Skill Speed, and Life Leech be viable do you think? This is my first time trying to make my own build ><

Would also be taking Lightning nodes as well

[misty stump]

Its a meta gem, which allows you to put other skill gems in it as if they were support gems. When the event happens (minion death, or ignite) you build energy (which can be increased by passive tree). Once you get max energy, it casts the skill gems slotted into it. Say you use Cast on Ignite, if you ignite a lot, you get lots of energy, and cast that slotted spell a ton.

[solid finch]

sus wording, player's chaos resistance is zero or does it work like POE1 and reduces mobs' chaos res to 0? If anyone knows

probably reduces the player's chaos res to 0 but just checking

[misty stump]

Player res is zero

Uniques usually have a downside

That would be really good unique if it works with Chaos Inoculation

[hoary ingot]

I just realized if i get lucky enough i can have infinite time stop

[zinc cipher]

I need some help with how gear and stats work pls

when it comes to prefix and suffix

does a chaos orb for example, remove a prefix or suffix?

[loud trench]

Does anyone know why my ammo gets depleted when I drink a potion

[thin basin]

its random

[mighty wing]

umm fine ill level a sorc next ...

[zinc cipher]

not sure what the difference between prefix and suffix is

[surreal raft]

Does someone know if the +1 Sec Cast time on the Comet Skill is included in Energy needed when triggering with Cast on Shock or other similar skills? CoC states Base Cast Time, but idk if that is added to Base or only active when hard casting

[formal night]

does unleash make my spell always cost more?

[loud trench]

Does anyone know why my ammo gets depleted when I drink a potion
I need to fix this. it's ruining game for me

[zinc cipher]

damn so many questions n no one to answer them, gotta wait till papa juice is back

[thin basin]

is there a mana multipler on the support gem?

[thin basin]

i said its random

[bold saffron]

LOOL real

[zinc cipher]

oh sweet, so whats the difference between prefix n suffix?

[thin basin]

some mods can only roll on prefix some can only roll on suffix

you can have 3 prefix and 3 suffix on an item

[rugged fox]

is there any1 who might be able to explain the "witchbane" ascend passive on mercenary to me? i dont quite understand it

[zinc cipher]

are there things that only affect prefix or only suffix? if so, what

[formal night]

yes

[kind willow]

So which is better rn, Lightning or Ice Monk?

[rancid stag]

both is good

[misty stump]

Ice is better for leveling thats for sure

[frozen harbor]

got a question regarding a blood mage, ive 100 spirit and cast on freeze takes up 60 which is fine, then i further supported life remnants with clarity and cannibalism which shuold be 25 but then life remnants is greyed out for me

[stoic oriole]

anyone running boneshatter warrior?

[kind willow]

Why is that for sure? Because safer?

[thin basin]

if a support gem say it have mana cost multiplier yes it will raise the cost of the skill

[zinc cipher]

whats up? im a warrior connoseiur

[misty stump]

Tried both my self. Ice just lets you freeze bosses and such early on. Herald of ice is really good too compared to herald of thunder, at least early

[stoic oriole]

How are you dealing with attack speed?

[misty stump]

Both are great past Act 3 though

[kind willow]

Hmm I see. Maybe I'll start as Ice and then switch to Lightning

Some variety is always nice

[misty stump]

Yeh thats what I did

[kind willow]

How expensive was the respec?

[misty stump]

Like 50k but I went a weird path

Wouldnt recommend

[atomic kindle]

anyone going chaos witch? love to share plans/ideas

[zinc cipher]

i run sunder and that means an even bigger attack speed problem. I solved it using these nodes and martial tempo support gem

[kind willow]

Oof

[graceful nymph]

Hey guys I can't seem to buy tree points with weapon set points. I wanna buy these and just can't buy them :

[misty stump]

I recommend going to the quarter staff nodes on the right, and getting the herald nodes just below that

[graceful nymph]

Any idea what I am doing wrong ?

[kind willow]

This is where I'm at now

[atomic kindle]

i was super confused as well. if you dont have anything in your second set up it automatically gives you the points

so you used them dont stress

[thin basin]

you need real points to use set points

[misty stump]

Yeh i went up to the elemental nodes like you are headed now, def not bad. But I would recommend going right for quarterstaff if you want the pure monk feel

If you want some cast on X tho, can go up

[kind willow]

So just book it to the right?

[graceful nymph]

Okay thanks i'll try it on next level up !

[outer merlin]

how to get cast on shock?

[misty stump]

Within reason, still want early power

[kind willow]

And should I take out any of the nodes I already put in or does it seem fine?

[misty stump]

Im on mobile rn otherwise I would suggest a tree

Get anything with attack damage tho

Or melee damage

Helps a ton early on

Remember ice strike converts 80% of phys to cold, scales of attack damage, and the more cold damage you do, the faster stuff freezes

[atomic kindle]

nah like how can i explain. the 4 points it says you have for each weapon set goes to your main "Skill Points" at the top. so its not like theyre being wasted you probably just didnt realize thats what they were when you assigned them. if you had items in both of your item sets it would allow you to change 4 points you already have invested. if that makes sense

[stoic oriole]

Thanks for that. I'll try to work with that this afternoon. Did you have a hard time w/ dreadnaught?

[topaz thunder]

Does anyone know if projectiles in an attack crits independently or is the crit tied to the attack and every projectile either crits at once or not at all?

[kind willow]

Hmm didn't know that second part

[atomic kindle]

this is not only super vag but just very wrong

[misty stump]

Vag

[atomic kindle]

lil bro you mom "vags" on me aight

[misty stump]

Okay lil bro

[thin basin]

i mean he just wanna know how to use them i told him you need real points not wrong?

[zinc cipher]

nah i only struggled with warrior up until middle of act 2, from then on its been a breeze. Used a mace n shield until start of act3 when i could have enough STR to wield 2h weapon + shield as a titan. Rn i have really high defenses and really high dmg on aoe and single target

[atomic kindle]

it is wrong like they are "real" points he just didnt realize he already used them

[atomic kindle]

nah like how can i explain. the 4 points it says you have for each weapon set goes to your main "Skill Points" at the top. so its not like theyre being wasted you probably just didnt realize thats what they were when you assigned them. if you had items in both of your item sets it would allow you to change 4 points you already have invested. if that makes sense

[kind willow]

So @misty stump are those freeze buildup nodes I'm headed towards actually worth?

Or just skip them

[neat laurel]

so how does poison work in regards on what skill applies it. Lets say I gas arrow first then I poison burst arrow. Will the poison dot damagfe be based on the gas arrow ? Is it based on the skill that triggers the dot ?

[torpid escarp]

Guys some tips?

[stoic oriole]

How do you feel about crushing verdict node?

[real magnet]

i love non-class-specific loot and iirc i was told you could play any class any build; that being said, I thought we had more freedom, but i haven't seen anyone post a video about a merc build with wand or mace. did i get the wrong impression of what's feasiable?

[misty stump]

This guys tree is pretty great imo https://youtu.be/rMOK1R8jn28?si=8aK2aSBu81NxyCbS

[zinc cipher]

i grabbed them both for huge dmg, it does make ur attack speed slower tho. personally cant pass up the dmg tho

[atomic kindle]

poison isnt like fire or cold. your skill needs to say that it inflicts poison. if it says that the damage of said poison (numbers could be wrong) but i believe its 20% of the hits choas dmg and 20% of the hits Physical dmg

[kind willow]

funny I was just looking at it

Will follow it

[misty stump]

You want herald nodes ASAP

[atomic kindle]

@neat laurel theres a bunch of other math in there you can look up but thats the TLDR

[misty stump]

Its 74% increased damage all the time

[proper pagoda]

If you warcry empower flicker strike do all hits get empowered or only the first hit?

[stoic oriole]

that's wh at i was thinking too, but i wasn't sure of the atk speed trade off

[atomic kindle]

depends on if warcry say empower next hit or empower next spell

[kind willow]

Makes sense tbh. Will try to rush to them

[zinc cipher]

what build u doing? im goin for a sunder(aoe) + perfect strike & hammer of god (st) whislt i use my auto attack with (stun+devastate+armour explosion) to heavy stun enemies, break their armour and explode them with an auto attack. Its really good to clear small packs with 1 or 2 auto when i dont wanna deal with Sunder's long windup

[atomic kindle]

oh sorry my bad. you can only have one poison active at a time so it just uses the one that does the most dmg

[sonic shuttle]

Are all poisons scaling with chaos damage? So if I dont have chaos resistance I will take a lot of damage from posions?

[atomic kindle]

it also goes through energy shield

[old kestrel]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1309218816596906067 if someone wants to help me understand the game a bit more thatd be helpful

[hollow trail]

Can I not run cast on freeze and elemental invocation together as this build suggests?

[graceful nymph]

Ok I understand the weapon set points now 🙂

Thanks

[atomic kindle]

no worries

[stoic oriole]

Just kinda winging it for stun + boneshatter with rolling slam for priming. Enduring cry foir whatever reason, but may switch to seismic for knockback. I'm aiming for hammmer of gods, but i'm stuck on dreadnaught

[zinc cipher]

yh i winged it too and i gotta say thats the best way to learn. made a lot of mistakes but it is very satisfyin once ur vision of the build comes online and it just works

[ember phoenix]

Any of you tried a sort of Freeze Crit Tempest Bell monk build?

[neat laurel]

define does most damage

[zinc cipher]

pretty sure on dreadnaught i just rolling slammed into boneshatter and blew up whole packs. what u dying to?

[stoic oriole]

I've enjoyed it. I may reroll tonight so I can include those speed nodes.

[real kiln]

are scepters only for minion builds?

[zinc cipher]

u can refund them

[stoic oriole]

Not using 1h + shield from the sound of it.

[zinc cipher]

also btw, why u going for attack speed if you are using boneshatter for dmg?

[stoic oriole]

rolling takes forever to hit

[royal stream]

Question about damage conversion:
If I have a skill with 100% physical to lightning conversion, and a weapon with
5-50 lightning damage
10-30 physical damage
100% increased physical damage
My understanding was the physical damage increase% wouldn't work, but it actually seems to - damage tooltip goes up (verified with socketing a 20% physical damage rune and checked a skill with 100% conversion before and after) - Could anyone help clarify what doesn't work then?

[zinc cipher]

ah i see, then put stun build up passive on your auto attack, attack them once or twice then boneshatter, should be way faster

[misty stump]

Yes phys damage amp good

[zinc cipher]

ive practically turned my melee attack into a faster boneshatter

[stoic oriole]

how does boneshatter scale best?

[proper pagoda]

It says next attack

[zinc cipher]

straight up damage

[zinc cipher]

any kind of dmg u put into it

but definetely not attack speed

[royal stream]

Yeah, right? So what exactly changed with conversion then?

[sonic shuttle]

So if I do a poison build with ranger I should add chaos damage? And it also scales with poison damage?

[thin basin]

the 100% increase phys applies only to your weapon which increases its physical damage which in turn increases your lightning damage after it convert

[stoic oriole]

how are you handling bosses?

[silk edge]

Question : How does one know if the " intimidate " debuff is being applied ? It doesnt seem to have an icon from what i've seen, so i dunno if my experiment yields any result with the Blackheart ring

[royal stream]

I see - so it's moreso based on non-weapon increases then after conversion?

Thank you btw

[zinc cipher]

Perfect Strike, socket Window of opportunity in it and more dmg like concentraded effect and it CHUNKS bosses when u land it at the right charge up

[thin basin]

yes, after the skill conversion youll need lightning damage increases from the tree and other places as its no longer phys

[formal night]

do i need to do 10 rounds to complete this and get the asc points?

[royal stream]

Appreciate it - so weapon still counts before conversion for increased is an exception?

[flat coral]

is it possible to make chaos skills apply freeze buildup?

[silk edge]

Only 4

[zinc cipher]

@stoic oriole id say imo right now you are struggling because u are 2h weapon without a shield, but instead of stacking dmg to kill faster you trying for attack speed which dont benefit u much. U could replace your priming method from rollin slam to your melee attack using supports. For single target u definetely gonna need Perfect strike.

[swift estuary]

This will be a GOTY contender for 2025 for sure

[sterile stone]

anyone doing other minions than arsonist? and is it good

[proper pagoda]

Any monks who use flicker strike here?

[neat laurel]

how much of an evasion percentage is a good amount

[topaz jacinth]

idk where to ask this, but anyone using berserk can make it work? i can easily have like 30 rage from getting hit, but i can't seem to leech from my damage (using sunder, rolling slam or even normal attack)

[thin basin]

you want flat phys and % phys on your weaps as itll count the dmg before skill convert

[stoic oriole]

added to my notes, tyvm.
Are you running any life regen or leech?

[zinc cipher]

no leech, i went life regen + armour

[stoic oriole]

tyvm for all your input...I'll try to adapt it tonight after adulting. Mind if I add you?

[royal stream]

Thanks, you're the best!

[zinc cipher]

here, theres my passive tree. Keep in mind i am using 2h weapon with a shield. Stacking shield defensives and getting dmg nodes that increase the more shield defensives i have. I wanted this Titan dreadnaught feel for my warrior. So far it has worked really well

[zinc cipher]

yeah sure buddy, my ign is Rifladen

[swift estuary]

Needs Beef

[modern knoll]

What level are you? How’s the triple requirement constraint at higher levels?

[last patio]

what happens if I put this on contagion? Will the contagion carry the effect from this support gem on death?

[zinc cipher]

yeah im filling it out now, i just had to go straight to the STR nodes and shield nodes and giants blood cos it sounded way too cool to not play it

[swift estuary]

There's a node called Beef that gives 25 Str lol

[thin basin]

does contagion have a curse tag?

[last patio]

oh crap!

[zinc cipher]

im lvl 56, i got giants blood around act3 and by the time i got it i had all other strenght nodes and went hulking form. So i been able to use uptodate 2h weapons as i progressed

[last patio]

sorry I missed that

[last patio]

no it doesn't nvm

I was just looking at chaotic freeze and got it mixed up as chaos dot

[swift estuary]

oh! i thought it was lower and left of that spot nvm 😅

[zinc cipher]

this is the real beef tho

[ripe crane]

Can anyone help me??? I wish to start a ranger pathfinder. How exactly is the concoction used? Does it cause a weapon swap? Do I need to equip a shield in weapon set two?

[last patio]

what about chaotic freeze instead?

[sage light]

top 1000 player ascendencies on ladder

[modern knoll]

Okay, I see. I’ve been holding out just in case but I may take the jump. I’d also recommend looking into Resolute Technique. Can’t crit but attacks can’t be evaded, I joined the convo late so idk what build you’re running but if it’s a slam stun build I’m not so sure crit is as important as hit consistency

[thin basin]

yea you can use that with contagion but now you need another spell/skill to do the chaos damage hit for the freeze buildup

[last patio]

hopefully chronomancer gets a buff! even the non skill nodes are lame. I thought the 20% slow would be noticeable, not to mention most all of act 3 mobs being hastened

[zinc cipher]

i kind of can make use of crit right now since sunder does 100% mroe crtid dmg and guaranteed crit on armour broken enemies

[proper pagoda]

Any monks player who is online?

[pastel trench]

Anyone try Eldrich Battery (Convert all ES to Mana) with a Cold Comet build? MY thought was making it a bit glass cannon since so many more comets would drop if I had the mana (esp in groups of mobs). And then eventually taking Mind over Matter (All damage goes to mana first) to kind of offset.

[vapid hamlet]

Hey guys, so I've been going a pretty no-brain Fragmentation rounds spam build so far (Cruel act 2). Been lucky with gear and drops, so was able to purchase some good stuff.

I just need help with the tree and gem supports + perhaps other skills I should think about using.

Tbh my only rotation is Flash granade to stun if necessary -> Just spam 1 button with Fragmentation rounds.

Game's easy like that, but I know it could be much better.

Fragmentation rounds gems I use: Brutality, Double Barrel, Martial Tempo
Flash Grenade: Lightning Infusion, Second wind. Tbh those are really random, just didn't feel a need to make it work better.

Perhaps there's something I could do to improve the build much more, I'm really open for suggestion - maybe other skills? gems? rebuild of passive tree?

I feel like some defensive passive points could be a huge improvement, would love to know what you suggest.

I also use War banner and Herald of Ash, but there are probably better auras (also having 91 spirit)

[north nymph]

Would these offset eachother to give you a 70% increase in both situations?

[high rivet]

does killjoy affect item rarity? cause it says item drop rarity is an on kill effect on spark for example

[thin basin]

looks good to me

Looking for advice on a mind to matter infernalist build.(Mana used as HP) What are the best ways to increase survivability and what kind of gear should I equip between pure ES or ES + Armor
*PS I already have recoup as mana

[thin basin]

to get your 5 and 6 points youll need to do 3 trials from sekemah or 7 trials from ultimatum but ultimatum is apparently bugged right now so its only sekemah give you the points its usually around level 70(?) when you start getting these apparently?

[little rock]

can you level up your crossbow?

[atomic kindle]

you dont get them from repeating campaign you need better entry keys to the honor thing sanctum? i believe its called and ultimatum. how you get those and what level you can find them no clue

[thin basin]

3 barya or 7 ultimatum but ulti is bug tldr

around maps

[novel flax]

ultimate is bugged right? Cause i did one with 7 but didn't give me points

[formal night]

i always read baka 😭

[atomic kindle]

both are good. probably pure ES and stack int instead of strength

[thin basin]

yes

[novel flax]

tyvm guys

[atomic kindle]

@wary juniper wait nvm. are you using MOM alone or MOM and ED?

[wary juniper]

Eldritch battery yeah

[atomic kindle]

then yah prob pure ES i could be wrong tho

[dawn bronze]

i mean i deal so little damage to bosses and i cant figure out the issue

[wary juniper]

Thinking of going 100% mana recoup but the issue is that the recoup takes 8 sec and I usually die faster than that 😅 (when I do die)

[atomic kindle]

thats not something i could help with outside of in call and taking a look at your build

[dawn bronze]

i can just send u screenshots if u got a minute

[sonic shuttle]

I dont understand how energy barrier works. How can I use it if im stunned, I dont get it?

[atomic kindle]

hm

thats a really good point

i was just planning my own MOM ED CI build but i forgot recoup is doubled in poe2 im worried now

[feral halo]

could anyone spend a few mins with me in a call to work on my build (with a lot of knowledge or some knowledge on warrior) ? will give exalted orb

[strong apex]

what is the best build out there for ranger right now?

[feral halo]

I can 1 shot all bosses but my mobbing is so bad it's scary

[wary juniper]

[atomic kindle]

have you tried not getting hit by oneshots

[feral halo]

could anyone spend a few mins with me in a call to work on my endgame build (with a lot of knowledge or some knowledge on warrior) I'm having a lot of problems with map clear speed but one shot bosses... PLEASE help will give exalted orb

does this point not works ? if it does then how ?

just return to the area when you want to

[calm kite]

oh okay

and the charges ?

[wary juniper]

If you re not running out of Mana, the charges

[thin basin]

i think some skills are bugged as they dont gain anything with levels unless its one of those where they gain 0.01 number every 10 levels

[hushed umbra]

Charms use charges in same maner as flasks.
Power charges and stuff is not related.

[livid hamlet]

Anyone had a chance to tackle phys witch ?

i feel like the support for it

without minons

which i kinda don't want to do

[livid hamlet]

yeah and it's still early, but bonestorm looks kinda mid

[fiery sable]

How important are resistances for endgame?

[livid hamlet]

without minions triggering it

[wary juniper]

Acts. Later acts have debuffs to reists

[hushed umbra]

lose some when you kill act bosses iirc

[livid hamlet]

but i want to use my minions for offerings

[hushed umbra]

With scepter you can get more than enough minions to use both

[digital obsidian]

for the flame wall skill, if i add the fortress support gem (the one that makes it deal 50% les damage with hits, but it becomes a circle instead of a line), does the reduced damage also apply to the bonus damage to projectiles that pass through the flame wall?

[livid hamlet]

not for triggering bonestorm

it kinda sucks that i need to play support for my minions as a phys witch

[hushed umbra]

reduce their revival by 25-50%, get 6 minions and it shouldn't matter

[thin basin]

bonestorm does good damage actually i did 5 acts bosses with it on like a 4 link, gave up on the build when final product didnt work the way i wanted it to

[livid hamlet]

like , elemental has just so so much more support on the tree

[hushed umbra]

minions empower you

you don't care about their damage

[livid hamlet]

i mean one thing is for offering

the rest is i guess to trigger bonestorm pops ?

[iron basin]

I'm just miserable trying campaign with edc lol. Stuck at act 2 boss.

[royal hamlet]

can someone help me understadn gain 10% of which damage?

[untold igloo]

Searing Touch Pyrophyte Staff
Anyone have this 🫨🫨🫨

[royal hamlet]

try trading chanel

[untold igloo]

Don't see it lol

[golden loom]

Question: I am currently under the understanding that evasion is a % chance to not take damage when you would get "hit". Is this correct?

[trail granite]

Which Venom Vial did you guys pick?
25% increased Stun Threshold.
30% increased Elemental Ailment Threshold.
25% increased Mana Regeneration Rate.

I am Sorc, elemental? planing on doing lots of either ice, fire or lightning
Is there a lot of Elemntal Ailments in endgame?
Or do u get stunned a lot?

Can you motivate which pics u take hehe?

[royal hamlet]

its in game

or just trading page in general

either chat in game or official trading page https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard

[last patio]

does freeze build up cause movement speed reduction?

[untold igloo]

Trading page as in?

Ahh ty

[tidal violet]

Could someone give me a screenshot of the tags on any of the concoction skills? preferably poisonous concoction but I can assume from the others

[fiery sable]

How improving quality on skills works? Does it keep the improved quality upon upgrading the skill level?

[royal hamlet]

i used once and get cast speed for spell

5%

[gray hazel]

which draught should i get , currently running a minion + chaos damage witch

should i just go for mana regen

[unreal dew]

hey, got a few questions about monk.

1. why they say darkness is underpowered?
2. does embrace darkness replace spirit for skills or they become unusable
3. what do "into the breach" flames actually do

[last patio]

jesus christ I've been asking for like 30 mins. Is there any hope that at least 1 single person that plays this game knows whether freeze build up applies slow/movespeed reduction/chill?

I'm beggggging

[fiery sable]

Does it maintain upon upgrading the skill level?

[tidal violet]

As far as I can tell, it's seperate

[silent prawn]

mana is the most versatile

[last patio]

ok thanks a lot

[gray hazel]

thanks

[severe drum]

gonna be blunt with these aura's "bugs" with herald giving a bunch of free damage you just cant go darkness

[agile meteor]

How to deal dmg to BOSS in this build? I am titan warrior lvl 43 and cant kill fire boss in act 3 😦 I deal no dmg
Link: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/boneshatter-titan-leveling-guide

[thin basin]

should be all damage

[silent prawn]

replaces Spirit completely, means no buffs.

as for the Flames hover over the Skill description with Alt

[severe drum]

you can still go chaos damage or any build you were thinking about but you definetly need the free increases heralds give

[silent prawn]

Definetly is a strong word here...

you don't need heralds

[severe drum]

I mean they give you like 100% increase damage from nowhere

[silent prawn]

the only thin that is bad, no Blasphemy

[unreal dew]

im not asc yet, still figuring out my build

[royal hamlet]

hold alt on gem to see what it increases, its below gem

[royal hamlet]

so my physical damage get another 10% more ?

[azure maple]

I cant do the ascend quest (cruel)

i explored the area fully but found nothing

killed boss and quest still remaisn

[silent prawn]

It is Borked in Cruel. as it is not intended to repeat the acts.
feel free to ignore the quest

[unreal dew]

so ITB wont be for my build 🤔

[silent prawn]

it is in mine 😄

[fiery sable]

I mean, let's say it's level 14 and you upgraded the quality of it, if you upgrade the skill gem to lvl 15, does it keep the quality+%?

[royal hamlet]

it should, you keep support slots

just make sure you upgrade and not create new gem 😄

just equip and you will upgrade

[high relic]

I know its not a "build" question, but wasnt sure if #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help was neither the correct channel.
I'm in Cruel Act 2 and I'm stuck with this quest.

I've done all the passage, its not being updated in any way.
Anyone have a clue what I have to do next???

[fiery sable]

Fair enough

[unreal dew]

is Whispers of doom node worth it?

[clever monolith]

Hello I how can I identify which gear stats are good for sorc (I have everything else figured out) but I suffer in knowing which pieces are the best for sorc thx

[unreal dew]

(double delay for additional curse)

[midnight oasis]

Bir şey sorcam bu curiel act 2 de asc görevi yapacaktım search traitor passage diyo bossu da kestim itemi atmadı bugta kaldı napcam

balbalamıydı neydi o item yok

[high relic]

I think we are in the same point, but please, if you dont write in english I doubt most of the people is gonna answer here

[fiery sable]

How damage buckets works in PoE2?

[lethal bear]

does this work with "cast on freeze/ignite/shock"? i know they are triggers but what is invoke?

[fiery sable]

What is additive with one another and what is multiplicative?

[midnight oasis]

I apologise, I thought I was writing to the Turkish poe discord

[unreal dew]

more is multiplier and other is additive

[radiant yarrow]

does gathering storm break through groups of enemies. Like if I'm stuck and use it, will I get unstuck?

[granite tree]

I see some uniques that dont have any requirements at all, like no level or attributes requirements. Is there a specific name for these kinds of uniques? I would like to look for more of them to put on my new characters that I make to have the early game a bit easier on them

[topaz thunder]

How do you upgrade the quality of skill gems. I can see it's possible, but I have yet to see anything that I could use to increase the quality

is it like a super endgame thing?

[river schooner]

ignites and freezes can be active simultaneously without cancelling each other out, right?

any way to reliable CANCEl my freezes (without cold snap) in order to apply another freeze and trigger CoF more?

[lethal bear]

there is literally a node called "climate change" which add fire damage on the cold spells

[river schooner]

really struggling with boss damage on my CoF-comet/waller

gotta switch to CoC prolly

[topaz thunder]

That doesn't cancel the freeze

[river schooner]

yeah

[topaz thunder]

It just does fire damage

[lethal bear]

i have ignite % on the spells, but maybe thats the wand too i have fire % added on it too

[river schooner]

afaik ailments can't cancel each other out at all, in order to avoid abuse

my clear is amazing, but single target is such pain

[lethal bear]

on that side you could try trigger cast on shock with the double shock node.. on same node "lower shock time by half"

[river schooner]

and shattering the frost wall seems overrated

although i dont have conc effect on it

also, spamming walls in some boss fights is very dangerous heh. got myself trapped a couple of times.
still, loving the comet build variations, such a skill-intensive style

[lethal bear]

sooo.. what is a "invoke" skill

[topaz thunder]

It is like "cast on x" but with all elements and you can choose when to use it. has max energy of 500

So it's like 3 comets fully charged

It also gives more energy. 125 on freeze 25 on ignite and shock

[lethal bear]

where can i get that its a spirit from witch or something?

i use cast on freeze atm its my main damage to clear, tho on boss not so much

[gritty elm]

can someone tell where to put this (i know my game is in german)

[delicate fern]

does "is triggered by all hits" mean all monster hits (including ranged and spells) apply thorns?

[topaz thunder]

Yeah the cast on x stuff is not as good in bosses. Don't know if it's intended like that or will it be hard to casters to damage bosses in the end game.

[delicate fern]

or that my hits can apply thorns as well?

[topaz thunder]

They could make bosses freeze easier, but then decrease the time they are frozen.

[fringe oar]

I got a question do bows count as two handed or one handed in poe 2

[unreal dew]

open passives and socket into square node

[topaz thunder]

There is ofc cast on crit. That is probably the way to go in endgame

[lethal bear]

oh damn invoke is a monk dex one.. arf thats rough to reach 70 dex too. fine thx

[topaz thunder]

It didn't require 70 dex for me

a bit over 50 I think

52

[lethal bear]

oh ya im using 14 spirit to see, i can use a 10 or something

[topaz thunder]

it's worth it. So much better than cast on freeze

[gritty elm]

tbh i don't see any square nodes or sockets maybe i am just dumb

[lethal bear]

34 with level 2 spirit gem, thats more possible

level 8**

[unreal dew]

usually at corner

[gritty elm]

can you show an example would be really cool

[unreal dew]

where main vein intersect with outside one. im at mobile, wait

[fast drift]

My buddy is arguing that by 17 you can completey MELT the count geonor boss. I'm saying it's not f'ing possible. What do you guys think?

[lethal bear]

at 17 you dont have a lot of your build unlocked, but its probably possible on some builds

[orchid torrent]

probably with really good drops and build you can

[gritty elm]

okay i found one now omg i am blind af

[orchid torrent]

you can randomly have 3x dps from items at 17 if you got super lucky with items

[topaz thunder]

It depends alot on what constitues "melt" like under 10 seconds, under 1 minute?

[fast drift]

Like under a minute

[topaz thunder]

He probably saw a video of someone killing that boss in cruel difficulty and didn't realize it wasn't the low level version

[lethal bear]

cruel one had time to do his trick only 1 time.. the normal one i had to deal with about 3 mob phase

[mental robin]

does chaged infusion work as we want with deadeye ascendency that has the potentional to double skill effect on consuming frenzy charge?

[unreal dew]

apparently you can top 6, but im not sure if it's worth it

[wicked tree]

When do I see how much % damage I'm gaining total 9

Like if I put 10% fire damage and another 10% fire damage in my passives. Shouldnt I be able to find 20% somewhere?

[atomic kindle]

does the +6 level to all spells effect Essence drain (im pretty possitive it does me and buddy are debating it rn)

from demon form sorry

hes saying it doesnt because it counts as Chaos not a spell. i think thats stupid. because with that logic it wouldnt effect like flame wall because that counts as Fire "not a spell"

[atomic kindle]

should be able to see most stuff if your press c pretty sure the passive tree has a stats window as well. could just be the websites tho not too sure

[lethal bear]

usually % damage add up yes, you cant really see the % but damage should be boosted on the gem menu( G )

[gentle moth]

how important is 75% resist to elements? should i use runes in armor to get there?

[granite jetty]

Many, I'm using it now, super fun

[lethal bear]

can matter between a one shot and oh i took 1/4 my life bar i should back

[orchid sundial]

gents, i have this but also 0% block chance, whats the cause?

[silent prawn]

you wear a shield?

[orchid sundial]

a focus

[silent prawn]

nit a shield then

[topaz thunder]

Does anyone know how flameblast works with invokes or "cast on x" effects. It has a channel time. So will it be at max channel when used or minimum or not even useable with triggers

[wraith fox]

focus aint got block on it

[orchid sundial]

oh i see

thanks fellas

[near jewel]

guys, if on a mace there is :6% increased attack speed" does it affect my Totems?

[knotty spruce]

Anyone gone ed contagion with cursed? Planning on going it on my chrono and wonder how it feels

[zinc cipher]

sorry to ask again but how do i get the 3rd pair of Asciendancy points? i know its the trials but is there any specific requirements?

[static plinth]

That is stupid, it affects anything tagged as a spell which includes essence drain

[proper pagoda]

Is anyone here high level monk that can help test something?

[outer delta]

which ascendancy is good for mercenary for grenade setup?

[signal finch]

Which one to take? I'm playing cold sorc.

[native burrow]

Why would switching to Demon Form kill my skeletons?

[drowsy temple]

quick question if anyone knows: can one eventually get ALL nodes in the ascendancy you choose? let's say an ascendancy has 18 nodes, can you actually get 18 ascendancy skill points? or only like 10 for example so you have to pick the branches of the ascendancy and do without the others?

[atomic kindle]

thank you bro thats what i was trying to say

[carmine escarp]

Not unless GGG gets real cool all of a sudden. 8 total points, so like half of what’s available.

[hoary plover]

disables your weapon so you're either losing the skill or spirit or both

[carmine escarp]

I don’t remember wording on Demon Form, but probably unequipping your weapon

[vestal idol]

guys if i spec into increased ailment chance does that affect the gas grenades gas damage. i feelt id dd never notive anyting to its damage before but suddenly it self is quite strong

[hoary plover]

8 points total so 4 notables

[drowsy temple]

oh, so quite less than I thought. So you get 2 ascendancy skill points the 1st time you do the trials, and then I assume you have 3 more trials to do and each will give you 2 points as well or something like that?

[carmine escarp]

Yeah. Not sure about in 2, but that’s how it was in 1.

[hoary plover]

doesnt do anything directly for damage but more frequent ignites means your gas detonate more frequently which can mean more dps

[delicate fern]

yooooo i have to reroll a melee build now

[vestal idol]

yea didnt think so but only the gas now can kill mobs alone

[opal yoke]

Does time snap work for reseting minion revive cooldown ?

[delicate fern]

low tier item but still

[drowsy temple]

thanks for the info @carmine escarp @hoary plover

[inland adder]

can the monk bell be proced by other weapons? I'm trying to cook up a fun combo with crossbow

[distant glade]

That +4 is gonna kill your mana

Ask me how I know

[silk juniper]

if I equip brutality does it stop my physical damage from having the % as extra chaos?

[static plinth]

Yes

[silk juniper]

thanks, ig I have to find another support for dd

[distant glade]

Isn’t dd fire dmg ?

[native burrow]

Ahh must be cause i lost the sceptre. Damn that really hurts

[silk juniper]

not anymore

[static plinth]

It's base damage is fire, but the damage it gains from consuming a corpse is physical

[silk juniper]

I have to use lvl 7 dd so I do like 40 fire dmg

[distant glade]

Oh I see

[shrewd heath]

does anyone know if 55% physical damage grants more damage or 112% attack damage? i'd like to avoid respeccing before i know, i'm not sure how different the calculation (as a titan warrior)

[distant glade]

What skill

[vestal idol]

and when using herald of ash you dont wanna use double barrel right ?

[delicate fern]

i guess ill just run blood magic

[feral halo]

does anyone know what possible stats I can get on this that's left?

[distant glade]

It’s probably not terrible if you spec into mana nodes or something but I had a +4 on my melee guy and it was terrible honestly

I made a whole new weapon just to get rid of it

[delicate fern]

yeah you dont have much base mana because all your attributes go to strength and 0 in int

[silk juniper]

cant you get phys attack leeched as mana on rings?

[delicate fern]

full unga bunga mode

yeah i think you can

[heady moon]

If both are increased damage then attack damage should be more if you use attacks

[delicate fern]

i remember rolling it somewhere

[distant glade]

I still couldn’t sustain with leech

[delicate fern]

i think it was rings

[heady moon]

%phys applies to all phys damage, so if u use spell this is the move

[vestal idol]

Breaking 40 more armor does that mean teh broken armor is more powerfull or does it mean it just goes faster to achieve broken status

[delicate fern]

i mean you are not that far away from blood magic

may as well grab it

and solve all mana problems

[silk juniper]

it is faster to achieve fully broken status

[delicate fern]

now i have no idea what melee build to play

i wanna do something off meta so dont really wanna play warrior

[lethal sundial]

Hey guys & gals
do I need conductivity if I already have doryani prototype ? do they add up or should i use another curse ?

[tall valve]

How do add sockets to sorc staff?

[delicate fern]

maybe strength/hp stacking bloodmage

[shell briar]

Enjoying my lighting deadeye, on my bow should I use iron runes for phys or storm runes? Lighting spells scale of phys so I assume iron runes right?

[delicate fern]

or chrono for meme hammer rainfall

[indigo radish]

Does Infernal Cry and Seismic Cry stack together or do they overwrite each other? Is it feasible to do both of them before a slam?

[silk juniper]

bloodmage would die from high mana cost skills

[vestal idol]

i am using gas grenare + (oil when i need) and explosive shot. my exp shot has the consume broken armor atm

[steep mauve]

When I slot temporal Chains into Hand of Chayula it removes hand from my hotbar with no explination

anyone know what's up with that?

[vestal idol]

so no poing going for explosion on gas when broken status cause then it will be a lower damage skill that consumes it right

[steep mauve]

I meet requirements for both and both are level 13

[heady moon]

Any info on demonic possession buffs?

[viscid niche]

Think this should be good enough for levelling 45-55 or so? on my Deadeye, current level 43

[fair notch]

Guys, am I right in believing archmage lightning damage doesnt shock?

[viscid niche]

My deadeye shocks most bosses within 2-5 seconds so unless you seeing shock percentage go up , its probably not

[fair notch]

Guess that's a bug then, my lightning damage has surpassed the base damage by like 25% and I'm permafreezing with that.

[hollow cave]

Yes

[full urchin]

Does monk have any sort of fire capabilities? I got a unique quaterstaff that has 100% chance to ignite lol

[grim aspen]

can convert cold damage to fire when theyre frozen

25%

[vestal idol]

oil grenade damage when u set it on fire will be based on the ignite damage you inflict ?

[north gull]

does a 10% attack damage skill point buff all my dam by 10%?

[carmine escarp]

It buffs Attack skills

[steep mauve]

figured it out
have it set to second weapons set and don't meet attribute reqs on second set

[north gull]

so any skill that does damage?

[carmine escarp]

Any skill with the Attack tag

[warm egret]

Is this bow ass? Im lvl 69 at

[compact gate]

The thought of this build kept me up all night. It is pretty complicated and took me a while to get to this point; it’s an idea for now, so i’d love some feedback and thoughts from you guys before I go for it: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/n49ur0hw

It’s a MoM, EB, CI Acolyte of Chayula with instant mana leech, that converts 100% of their Elemental Damage to Chaos Damage via Original Sin. It uses Flicker Strike with Pin Support and Combat Frenzy with Profusion Support together with the Resonance key stone for charge sustain.

Midnight Braid is mainly used for mana recoup when taking damage. Dream Fragments gives 20% max mana, improving survivability and Freeze from Icetomb. Thrillsteel is totally optional, but I like the idea of having Onslaught with this build.

[atomic kindle]

attack and spells are 2 different mechs. if youre a warrior chances are if you pick up +10% attack damage yes all your damage is increased. but if you pick up spell damage chances are itll do nothing for u

[carmine escarp]

Tags are displayed under the title of the skill. Things like Strike, Slam, Spell, Attack, etc

[inland adder]

Anyone know how mana regen interacts with the infernalist fire mana

[north gull]

monk
all attacks
ty

[atomic kindle]

this is my q. im thinking of using MOM but idk if it works

[dawn bronze]

what support do i put here?

[atomic kindle]

the ones that sound cool

[fervent flax]

What’s a good build for a ranger. I don’t understand what invasive rating is or should I go for dexterity or strength or what. Lil lost on that. Was wondering it anyone could fill me in

[covert spade]

Hey guys does earthbreaker on titan do anything for abilities that already have aftershocks on them? I assume no right

trying to build an aftershock freeze build hmmm

kind of want to do something with cast on freeze with maybe cold snap

[atomic kindle]

evasive is what it sounds like your chance to compeletly dodge an attack. with how strong the hp you get from str is in this game i find it hard to believe any build used use something thats not a str/int or str/dex or mono str build (outside of MOM)

[formal night]

NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[royal verge]

Ayo, what do frenzied charges do for rangers?

[silk juniper]

nothing unless you consume it for a skill

[fervent flax]

Ok so I should mix it up and use strength and dexterity for ranger?

[lunar field]

anyone tried ballistas?

[shell briar]

I am correct in stacking phys not lighting damage for lighting ranger skills?

[carmine escarp]

Your attributes matter as far as equipping gear and gems. There’s a few other cases, but for a beginner just worry about equipping stuff.

Good builds are whatever is fun. Game has been out less than a week and is in testing phase; it’s hard to say what’s good and what’s bad, so just pick skills that look fun to you. It’s pretty easy to respec.

If by invasive rating, you mean evasive, it’s the chance to not be hit by an attack. It’s one option for a defensive layer. You can never hit 100% though, so you will need to invest in a second layer (which is recommended anyway)

[elfin ledge]

People enjoying Merc or ranger more?

[atomic kindle]

youre gunna use str on every character, and because rangers skills all require Dex youre forced to go an even split of str/dex yes (also for armor types your looking for armor/evasion. could maybe go mono dex and just not get hit but idk personally i go int classes never liked dex

[high sinew]

why is spark sorc lacking so much dmg after 20ish lvl arc 2 is way too difficult with mob hp

[atomic kindle]

i mean imo and i dont mean this rudely just speaking bluntly. but i think not recommending str is kinda troll. again i dont play dex chars tho so

[fervent flax]

Guess I don’t know the difference. Sorry for all the questions. Intelligence is more magic damage? And dexterity more range damage? Or am I wrong on that

[vagrant salmon]

Working through A3, do you get more spirit upgrades from bosses in Cruel? Or just the first 3 in normal

[vestal idol]

if i am using oil grenade does ignite from other sources make it stronger ?

[atomic kindle]

basiclly but thats more the TLDR than hard set rules

[hoary plover]

1,3,6 for a total of 100 by end of campaign

[atomic kindle]

not 120?

[hoary plover]

unless i missed something

[carmine escarp]

No worries, I appreciate being corrected if I’m wrong. I didn’t say not to build strength, though, I was just saying to not worry too much beyond equipping gear as a new player. No need to min max yet

[hoary plover]

please dont tell me ive been running around maps missing 30 spirit

[atomic kindle]

think you get 4 pops of 30 idk where you got 100 from if anything it would be 90

[hoary plover]

the last one gives you 40, i know that for sure

[silk juniper]

you get 30 30 and then 40

[livid gulch]

is this any good?

[silk juniper]

this is act 6 quest

[manic temple]

which one better for monk invoker lightning?

[tawdry parcel]

You mean Act 3 Cruel?

[atomic kindle]

weird lots of things are different from what they said it would be. said youd get it every act wandered around in act 2 for so long thinking i missed something

[static cipher]

Rolling an alt was just wondering if people were having more fun as infernalist or stormweaver. PLaying merc and enjoying it but just wanna level something to play with my lower level buddies

[atomic kindle]

if you open your skill menu and your inventory and swap between the items itll show you the dps change on your skill gems

[north gull]

hey monk palyers, what suport gems did you guys do on bell? is crit lightning viable?

[atomic kindle]

most people are going infernalist from what i see. stormweaver looks cooler imo

[manic temple]

geeez, my god. i'm just learning game. thank you so much

[royal verge]

So you can use the frenzied charges on a skill, how much does it increase the damage by and can you use it on any skill?

[atomic kindle]

np XD

[alpine path]

Loving ice sorc stormweaver. Only lvl 37 and act3 tho

[silk juniper]

unless the skill says it uses it by default it wont affect the dmg, but if you have a support gem I think that frenzy charges increase skill speed

[static cipher]

awesome thanks @atomic kindle i think ill just try sorc and see what speaks to me any advice for good leveling build that isnt too gear dependent?

[green elm]

where do you see your accuracy rating for attacks? i opened up the arrow box and everything and i dont see it, when im using rolling slam sometimes it misses

[atomic kindle]

i play witch XD

[static cipher]

thats what i mean oops sorry!

[rustic rain]

Is this worth buying? Seems too low

[silk juniper]

I wouldnt buy it

[atomic kindle]

oh well on whats it mobaliticys Kripp has a build he made before the game came out that ended up being the best so id rec that one. its really easy to get going and has great add clear/single target

[north gull]

is shock and stun different?

[alpine path]

Ive been stacking energy shield, hp, tri resists, cold spell skillups, spell power, and cold dmg on my storm sorc. Use frost nova and ice bomb, and incorporate icebolt and cold snap as you get. Frost wall is super dope cuz it blows up when you place it under large targets

[atomic kindle]

bro you selling that for exalts??? id pay irl $$$ for that #busted

[atomic kindle]

very much so. shock gives all damage 20% more multiplyer. stun stops people from moving

[north gull]

whats a good support gem on monk bell? (lvl1)

[inland adder]

Are there any ways to generate corpses without killing enemies?

[atomic kindle]

are you level 50.

[inland adder]

No

[atomic kindle]

then sadly im pretty sure no

[native ice]

Does Infernalist Bringer of Flame cause Chaos DoT to contribute to ignite? I'm considering a blackflame build

[silk juniper]

you need lvl 58 and spirit gem 14 to get sacrifice and then you can use minions instead of corpses

[atomic kindle]

thats sounds dope

[inland adder]

Oh sick

[vital plume]

what does the elemental ailment threshold mean for the venom quest mean in act3?

[raven stag]

whats a good war build? i just hit 40 and ivee been doing w/e and its not helping me

[atomic kindle]

you could also use skeletal arsonisit to blow up your minions. thats a lvl 3 gem

[silk juniper]

how much dmg an enemy would need to hit you with to freeze/shock/ignite you

[inland adder]

That doesn't generate a corpse though

[static cipher]

@atomic kindle any chance you know what his build was called im trying to find it right now

[silk juniper]

pretty sure that only dmg from hits can contribute to ignite

[atomic kindle]

look up maxroll they got a great fire titan build

[atomic kindle]

hp stacking. pretty sure thats what he called it XD

ill link it

[meager tulip]

Hello! Does orb of storms proc bow lightning rods?

[static cipher]

thanks!

[raven stag]

thank you

[atomic kindle]

sending dm

[native ice]

thanks. I thought that might be the case. I suppose that means Hexblast ignite is back on the menu

[meager tulip]

@dawn spire

[north gull]

whats the point of a skill gem saying itll do 50% less fire and lightrning but 25% more cold if its a cold only skill

theres no downside is there

[azure maple]

Where do i find second relic, i have kabaa one

[atomic kindle]

you gaming XD

[bold saffron]

anyone here playing fire mage?

[atomic kindle]

yah whats up

[azure maple]

i'm playing blood mage with fire wall

[covert moon]

hi, I don't really understand how to scale "Detonating Arrow", it says "120% of Damage as Extra Fire damage per stage", so I guess I have to stack increased/more fire damage, also a lot of attack speed to get stages faster (I guess ?) but it's based on my bow damage right ? So I need to craft a bow with a lot of fire damage ? or convert my phys to fire ?

[proper pagoda]

Guys any high level monk players in the chat?

[bold saffron]

what defensives strats do u have with it? just a bunch of energy shield?

[rough folio]

which Witch build is better in EA
