2┃build-planning

[still basin]

it makes the whole combat experience just way smoother imo

[loud summit]

@still basin so u aren’t worried about actually charging the staff with power charges, but just using the skill?

[still basin]

and its honestly the only thing worth using for powercharges

[loud summit]

Oh okay u are charging it

[still basin]

yeah I do

im full charges all the time tbh

combat frenzy + resonance

[loud summit]

I’ll have to play with charged staff. But mainly ur shattering palm, ice strike, and bell for bosses

[still basin]

i mean im also running hypothermia to make them vulnerable aswell if they arent already

[limpid plover]

Lol figured as much.

[loud summit]

U cast hypothermia?

[still basin]

Yeah I do

[stoic oriole]

seems silly to ask, but stun == immobilized?

[still basin]

are you using it differently?

[maiden void]

Is it a bug or intended that Skills to fire additional projectiles nodes do not work with chance to ignite? I posted a video here showcasing the interaction, I just don't have the POE (POE2) knowledge to understand if bug or feature. https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1316531439092633691

[loud summit]

No I just haven’t used it

[still basin]

ohhh

[loud summit]

Figured wasn’t worth another slow down cast animation lol

[still basin]

it really help for burst

its like

boss gets stunned into hypo and burst

and is dead after most of the time

max 2 rotations

[proper pagoda]

does quality also scale flat ele on weaps in poe 2?

[loud summit]

@still basin u thought about adding EI and comet for boss burst? Idk it may not require much else

[last patio]

what's most important? % damage, resistence, or penetration?

[sly leaf]

is this a net gain for burning damage on puppo? Since burning damage scales with puppo max HP, I assume this means 50% more is 50% more ignite dmg

[still basin]

you mean invocation?

[stark river]

thoughts on deadeye (ranger) vs witch hunter (merc) for a gun skill focused crossbow build?

[loud summit]

Yeah invocation

[still basin]

yeah i have

but the spirit reserve is too high

since im running grim feast wind dancer and combat frenzy already

thats 160 spirit in total

[loud summit]

Fair

[still basin]

could show u how it looks if u wanna see it

its super fun imo

[vale apex]

asking for this passive, is lightning warp considered moving or stationary?

[lone wave]

is anybody actually using the poison chance passive nodes and envenom support gem instead of actual poison skills

[buoyant eagle]

If I build totems, and I put points into my passive that has the same tag, for instance Melee, and the totem has the melee tag, does that % melee dmg also affect the totem?

[languid epoch]

guys what are some good support gems for lightning warp to be used as movement tech?

[vale apex]

okay I tested rq, if you hold WASD it counts as moving

[silk juniper]

the one that makes you do more dmg to enemies on lowlife

oh wait you are using it on ball of lightning

ah

thats neat

[proper pagoda]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Elemental_Expression wait this skill cant even fucking crit? how is this remotely playable?

[still basin]

im playing it, its super nice

[silk juniper]

it is not meant to be able to crit

[loud summit]

@still basin u use freezing mark?

[still basin]

nope

[proper pagoda]

what level are u at?

[proper pagoda]

im not sure how u scale it then

[still basin]

77

[proper pagoda]

cause ur gonna be playing attacks presumably. its just awkward

[still basin]

you scale it with spelldamage

[real kiln]

guys im using a comet build on sorc, i was wondering is there anything that will give me a crazy boost to mana regen so that i can infinitely cast comets back to back without running out of mana?

[proper pagoda]

but u need to be scaling melee crit to trigger it... it just seems incredibly awkward and also the flat damage ont he skill is very very low

[still basin]

I mean, youre basically adding another few k dps onto your main skill, which is in my case ice strike

• there are nodes that give you extra damage whenever you trigger a skill

[proper pagoda]

yeah

[still basin]

so my icestrike rn goes up to 25k dps

[proper pagoda]

idk. i think its cool but i really think its trash

[still basin]

to be fair, idk if thats good or not

[alpine path]

Lifedrain / soul drain maybe for culling

[silk juniper]

I tihnk that it is meant to be complementary dmg to your main skill criting

I dont think it works as a main dmg skill

[cosmic copper]

Hi... i'm going for a totem ballista build. Which ascendancy can be good for this? Warbringer for defensive option? Or the Merc ones?

[still basin]

it definitely doesnt

[still basin]

that sums it up perfectly

[proper pagoda]

i mean im just saying numerically it is objectively trash

like i am 1000% sure. i mean it might feel okay for you guys at low maps

but its bad... its just math...

[still basin]

what else would you play? im curious

because I think it compliments ice strike very well

[proper pagoda]

to explain: first of all, if you want to scale the damage on it, you should just play coc comet. Look at the flat numbers on the skill... it is laughably bad. Then factor in its hard locked to a CD which comet is not. It has less coverage than comet. Sure it doesnt reserve spirit, but it costs an ascendancy point so its not free.

second - it can't crit. this is hoenstly the main issue. if you could scale it off of crit, which you want to scale to trigger it, it would be playable. the main issue is the node prior to it. this sets all ele res to 0 on crits. this is GIGA and you would want to lean into it heavily and avoid all pen/exposure on tree. it basically lets you ignore pen, exposure, and curses. THIS DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE THE SKILL CANNOT CRIT... so every hit you do is going to be heavily mitigated...

lastly, it has a spell tag not an attack tag, which is honestly not that big of a problem, but again if you want to scale spell damage, you are literally going to just be playing a 10x worse version of coc comet...

so like if you want to do that for style points more power to you, but it will be bad i guarantee it

like the only way i see this node working is a heavy crit scaling build that is scaling % increased ele... which is what i want to play and would be insanely fun, but its bricked by this skill being unable to crit.

you are literally just gimping yourself by playing this over "and i shall rage" i promise you

or even playing just sunder my enemies with I am the X

stylistically amazing node that is completely useless currently

[still basin]

i might sound stupid here, but where does it say the skill cant crit?

[silk juniper]

it has 0 crit chance

[still basin]

it literally has critchance for me

12%

[proper pagoda]

really? can you screenshot?

[hidden pecan]

I don't understand these weapon set skill points:

• I can add One (1) point for weapon set 1 and it consumes a single weapon set point and my overall skill point
• I can add Two (2) points for weapon set 2 and it consumes two weapon set points and my overall skill point

[proper pagoda]

i was just looking on poedb

[sacred sail]

what are the most defensive notable on the tree ?

[still basin]

sure

[proper pagoda]

you might have saved my day 🙂

cause i want to play this really bad lol but on poedb it has no base crit

[still basin]

That‘s the best I Could do, sorry lmao

[weary orbit]

is it possible to increase the "low life" threshold?

for enemies

[proper pagoda]

Oh i see it says it on the wave part, doe the arcing bolt and explosion also have 12%?

[wicked isle]

Do you mean for like culling strike?

[still basin]

fire has 7, lightning has 9

[weary orbit]

not exactly culling strike, specifically for this cluster

[still basin]

but im only triggering frost, so i didnt really pay attention to that

[proper pagoda]

ok ty sir

[weary orbit]

this entire cluster gives insane damage increase

but only for low life

[worldly pawn]

is there a way to make snipe charge faster? or is that just attack speed?

[still basin]

like as astandalone i agree, it sucks

but as complimentary skill for as i said ice strike for example, its super nice

[proper pagoda]

nah its decent since it cant crit. if it coudlnt crit it would be useless

can the ice thing also shotgun?

[still basin]

uhhhh

not sure honestly

It probably can, but i didnt really check on that

[proper pagoda]

np

[proper pagoda]

you are scaling up ur int to only get the cold waves or?

[hoary plover]

any tips for fast leveling mercenary?

[arctic minnow]

what are some of the better distill combinations for minion witch build?

[violet berry]

I'm struggling with my witch hunter. It might sound dumb, but the whole grande thing seems super clunky. I throw out my oil granade, ignite them with my explosive shot, then I throw my poison granades, but even spamming, I get like 1-2 poison grande throws out before they are no longer ignited. The merc's animations, the fuse timers, ect, and that it chews through mana... it seems so rigid. I can;t seem to do any damage.

[atomic kindle]

if you have 0 ES (ED) are you at full ES at all times?

[still basin]

sadly not since i need a bunch of dex for my gear

[spiral frost]

i found bow/poison faster than xbow but that just might be me

[still basin]

but its i would say 80% ice waves

[proper pagoda]

i see, interesting. ty

[still basin]

i did the whole thing myself and im honestly very new to POE, so it might suck

but im having a blast in t7 still basically oneshotting everything

[buoyant eagle]

get Mist Whisper which you can buy on trade for like 9 Orbs of Augment, put 2 sockets on it and put the Cold damage runes. Then support auto shot with Poison and Poisons Armour Break, and win into mid act 2 by just auto attacking.
Once you get the electric shotgun ability, use that to clear the trash mobs and auto to kill Bosses and Rares

[urban sequoia]

is granade mercenary the best build out there ? granades seems to be random

[atomic kindle]

would anyone care to take a look at the passive tree i made for chaos witch

id love to hear some feed back

[hoary plover]

dope, thanks. lightning is my plan i just wanna get there fast

[buoyant eagle]

I walked through clearing act 1 in about an hour, maybe a little less by running that.
The Poison grenades are helpful as well on bosses and rares.

Projectile damage is your friend

[quartz wolf]

does far shot and point blank on the deadeye ascendancy scale with vertical travel too? or only horizontal? arrow rain for example

[left vortex]

Is it true that the 20% slow skill on chronomancer is bugged rn?

[wet mango]

wait is poison also limited to 1 stack now? Or am I misreading the support gem

[hoary plover]

1 stack base, can be increased

[wet mango]

does it mean that a single attack can apply2 stacks of poison?

or it means the mob can have 2 (total) stacks

[last patio]

I finally fixed cast on freeze with cold snap...it only works if I use spell echo -_-

[wet mango]

oh so it's not PoE1 style anymore

?

[silk juniper]

mobs can have multiple poisons but only one is active

[last patio]

which isn't to say fixed, but at least it's something

[silk juniper]

the highest dps one

[knotty spruce]

is there anything to increase dot dmg?

[urban sequoia]

nop

[knotty spruce]

trying to force a dot ed contagion build with curses on chrono

looks rought lol

[wet mango]

gotcha, same as like ignites and bleeds then from poe1

[urban sequoia]

is high velocity rounds your best build early game ?

[dreamy mulch]

Idk if best but extremely strong boss and clear

[storm eagle]

What's the go to for armour mods for a dual two-handed warrior?

[opal yoke]

This build is just too fun lol. Mobs dont stand a chance 🤣

[storm eagle]

Im honestly clueless

Just stack armour?

[dusty bear]

how much armour is good armour for poe2?

[urban sequoia]

its strong ye, but having to kill mobs 1 by 1 is crazy

[urban sequoia]

how did u do that ui ?

[dusty bear]

controller ui

[urban sequoia]

ah we dont have that on pc 😦

[opal yoke]

Console

[dense igloo]

Hey what are the classes looking like now that people have tried them out a bit more? Like what's weak, what's strong?

[karmic thistle]

I am at work so have not been able to test said hot fix.

With the change to demon form... What does that mean exactly. Is the new Rate 1% per max hp per stack or is it just 1 hps per stack minimum. For example the dustbloom chestpiece would pretty much negate this up to 10%

So with the minimum being 1 hps per stack does that mean DF completely negates ho regen?

[visual seal]

what are some really good stats on the gloves for a warrior that needs stun buildup

[sweet cedar]

would the acolyte of chayula passive, consuming questions work with eldritch battery and mind over matter to just double the mana leech?

[turbid cipher]

is there a website that shows all the available bases and their values / level ranges?

[vivid crown]

can anyone give me witch minion build advice? i don't really want to be told exactly what to do i just want some guidance bc ive never really 'built' before and my minions are feeling really weak rn

[rapid star]

does Crit still suck for early builds?

[knotty spruce]

is the chaos monk viable at all rn?

[dreamy mulch]

wha? it wipes screens literally.

[silk pagoda]

Hi i'm wondering what stats increase thorns damage aside from the obvious thorns % and thorns flat damage?

Theres stuff like 1% block chance = 1% bonus damage, would that apply to thorns?

Does physical leech apply to thorns as well assuming its physical damage?

What scalers can effect it?

[karmic thistle]

Look for a Spirit Necklace, get you minions to highest lvl. You could also get a spirit chest piece.

Also try and grab up all the early-ish minion health nodes. There is a big cluster halfway uk the line and to the right.

Then try to get minion resistance.

For example... I did a frost build with 4 frost makes that was stupidly insane. Was fun af...

But you could also run like 20 warriors lol.

[prime raft]

IS PYORMANTIC PACT considered a hit on yourself? any infernalists out there ??????

[analog gale]

what skills would be best to use overabundance support on?

[dreamy mulch]

@urban sequoia gas grenades

[karmic thistle]

Spirit affix drops on chests and necklace and scepter

[vivid crown]

what are health nodes?

and what is minion resistance

[karmic thistle]

Also there is a unique chest that gives you 100 spirit... kinda a no trainer for any ion build.

Eight now at lol 35 I can have roughly 380 spirit. So quite a few minions but if they are weak then why bother.

[orchid torrent]

as a sorc when I got this chest I tried getting some minions just to use the extra spirit but they suck so bad if not specced into them

[karmic thistle]

In your tree go.to search bar and type minion. Read all minion nodes that light up.

I initially pushed for minion dmg only... but minions are so weak theu die stupid fast. So I grabbed damage and minion life as well as resistance

[urban sequoia]

i cant understand why moblyitics build has always no equipment showing

[vivid crown]

like these?

[analog gale]

like this and an overabundance support and i can have three orb of storms up

[vivid crown]

and also any advice on what support gems i should be going for?

[kind skiff]

Made my own build, this is my build (lv46) vs cruel druid
still a work in progress

https://www.twitch.tv/iamtristo/clip/SpoopyBillowingQuailBigBrother-heNI_2XT2KHUQdBC

[karmic thistle]

Yes

Then find games for minion damage... also if using warriors you need physical dmg... just found that one out

[knotty spruce]

is there any source of leech thats not phys? researching for Acolyte of Chayula and it sems rough lol

[icy kiln]

Damage calculation question. If you have increased spell damage and increased chaos damage, do they all go in the same bucket to be multiplied by more?

[tidal field]

can someone help me with my witch build in a help vc i have infernalist and im still in act 2

[karmic thistle]

Up to you... best mini g build i have had so far was the mages...

I had them do more freeze buildup and also used a green gem that makes them fire more projectiles... they were nasty

[vivid crown]

ah okay thank you

[neat bison]

What ends up being more dmg, a mace with 100 base and +3 skills or one with 200 base?

[low python]

can someone explain how the barrage applies to other ranger skills. I use it but it doesn't seem like it does anything. WHich skills does it apply to best?

[whole smelt]

200 base

[vale apex]

if you trigger this on an aoe skill, does it apply 40% more damage to anyone hit in the aoe, or only the target?

[crimson shale]

.< Anyone else struggling with monk?

[spice reef]

monk is fantastic

[crimson shale]

found a diff thread to post in woops

[dry umbra]

Hello, do increased fire damage nodes like "Firestarter" which increases hit damage on burniing enemies work on minions?

[whole smelt]

melee just takes some getting used to

[dry umbra]

No, but I am in early game (act 2)

[neat bison]

Thanks 👍

[spice reef]

is monks 'Elemental Expression' supposed to be for applying status ailments, or is there a way to scale it given that it's a spell that requires melee critical hits?

[crimson shale]

There are bosses that are difficult to stay in melee range :/

[snow ridge]

do poison/bleeding charms remove the ailment that triggers them? Trying to figure out how vulnerable to DoTs I can be without screwing myself over

[spice reef]

the base damage seems pretty pathetic so I'm not sure its for doing damage, but since status ailments are based on damage dealt...

[spice reef]

you have to time attacks for melee windows and use an assortment of mobility skills; the only boss that really sucked for monk was balboa

balboa can eat my butt

[crimson shale]

that's the one

.<

[spice reef]

haha thats the one you're on?

[crimson shale]

ty

that's the one I was stuck on... and then decided to skip.

[flat coral]

I heard Recoup Life passives are currently broken is that true?

[spice reef]

she sucks dude I don't know what to say, I spammed glacial strike and ice locus while dodging like a mad man

up to that point I died once, and then I died 19 times trying to kill her

[sterile stone]

any part of the skill that would result hit will be effected

[clear cape]

Hey

Eternal youth mechanic life regeneration rate:

If life recharges instead of energy shield does that mean energy, shield recharge rate, now affects life, recharge rate? Or are they separate modifiers? I don’t see anything in the game about life recharge rate …

[crimson shale]

I was getting used to ice build but the streamers told me lightening was better... now I'm getting used to it but thinking... "ehhhhh is it really?"

[spice reef]

I like both, but on balboa I couldnt land any lightning skills so switched out to frost

it will be different in cruel mode, I'm going to crush her

[sterile stone]

all element are viable depends on whos build youre looking

[strange cedar]

Soo, been playing minion infernalist and i feel a little bored of it 😄 Wanted to try something and for some reason i've had this idea stuck in my head.
Infernalist Demon Form CI sparker. What do ya'll think about this?

[spice reef]

What are people using to make builds if no PoB?

Excel?

[surreal veldt]

What's PoB?

[static plinth]

Literally doesnt function

[atomic halo]

maxroll has a planner

[static plinth]

Demon Form turns off when you hit 1 hp

[strange cedar]

Ah...

[tidal field]

how do i check how much HP my raging spirits have?

[crimson shale]

also.. is there a mount? D4 has spoiled me with the ability to move fast.

[atomic halo]

but there's no calculator like pob

you just do stuff

[crimson shale]

or a plan to move faster *

[stable turtle]

Anyone know if using lightning infusion support gem on lightning attack just increases damage by 25%?

[spice reef]

Excel it is 😄

[dry umbra]

Hello, do increased fire damage nodes like "Firestarter" which increases hit damage on burniing enemies work on minions?

[sterile stone]

yeah you have to eye it out, would be hard if you havent used to how things work

[carmine escarp]

Does anyone know if the life drain from Demon Form is considered damage?

[atomic halo]

no, it grants 25% of Damage gained as Extra Lightning Damage. that's its own thing, it's not a source of #% increaeed Damage.

[stable turtle]

What if my only dmg is lightning dmg does it do anything for me?

[atomic halo]

you gain 25% of that as extra lightning damage.

it says "Damage gained" so it doesnt care what kind of damage - all damage, including lightning.

[fast temple]

does anyone know if hexblast consumes 2 curses? i dont think it is at the moment and wondering if thats intentional or a bug

[abstract timber]

Anyone have a Build Guide site ? that is NOT! max roll ? i don't have the game but my friend want to see a diff site and i don't know of any LOL

[merry creek]

When Skeleton Arsonists throw bombs, are they casting? Or is it an attack? Wondering if allies have additional cast speed will help them?

[sterile stone]

you check the arsonist panel for that

[sterile stone]

i think people are also using mobalytics

[tidal field]

why is there no "misc" section for the raging spirits? I'm trying to see their HP but I can't see it, someone else was able to see their raging spirits info but I can't lol

[zinc cipher]

why is the staff on the right listed way more expensive than the others?

is that worth?

[sterile stone]

try summon the srs while looking at the panel

[atomic halo]

its way more phys damage

both look pretty trash though

[zinc cipher]

is that valued correctly?

[halcyon island]

What is the difference between ATK Speed and projectile Speed ? Isnt ATK Speed unessesary If the projectiles fly at max Speed,so the next projectile releases.
So ATK Speed is only for the normal ATK and projectile Speed for skills? But than they normal ATK benefits also from projectile Speed. So Summa summarum does it Affect me If i sacrifice ATK Speed but max projectile Speed Instead ? (Sacrifice ATK Speed for projectile DMG ).

Please only persons that really know the answer, not wild guessers.
Apreciate the answer ☺️

Topic on Crossbows only.
(Not talking about other projectiles f.e mage)

[atomic halo]

no

[zinc cipher]

what u reckon its worth? using ur poe veteran knowledge

[atomic halo]

attack speed is the speed at which you do the actual attack

[tidal field]

it worked thanksss

[atomic halo]

left is like nothing right is like 1ex at most

like look at it

all it has is a 43% phys roll

that's not even a particularly high tier

wait

actually it also has flat phys

reading is hard

[sterile stone]

i dont think so, thers no line saying that it can stack damage by removing multiple curse, and the narator says "to remove A curse"

[atomic halo]

check other listings

[zinc cipher]

that makes it any difference? it is 100dps above all other listings

[atomic halo]

how is it 100dps above all other listings

[halcyon island]

Didnt Help haha sorry can u explain fouther , so the frequency of releasing the Bolts ?

So If i fire the projectiles faster, IT should also Release the new projectile once the projectile max traveling way IS done or not?

[atomic halo]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/rqWPMemCQ

[zinc cipher]

the blue number on the top right gives a generic dps of the item im guessin

[atomic halo]

sort by physical damage

[atomic halo]

yeah in those 5 specific weapons

but if you look at all the listings

same price

instead of 82-177 it's 235-370 phys

[zinc cipher]

oh damn!

[zinc cipher]

btw dude where is the sort button? i cannot find it

[atomic halo]

you click the stat and it sorts

[zinc cipher]

thanks man

[compact wren]

Is there any tool to help simulating damage?
Like 80% spell damage vs 3 levels of cold spells

I’ve no idea how much damage these numbers actually translate into

[proud granite]

Is the socket dmg% already added in my physical dmg so its 57-77 or +40%?

[atomic halo]

not yet, but you can just compare the dps numbers ingam

[halcyon island]

Cause If that applies than isnt projectile Speed worthless in comparison to ATK Speed, when DPS IS damage per second , so you want more atks and the projectile Speed doesnt matter than ?

[abstract timber]

THANKS

[compact wren]

Thanks so I would have to actually own the item to make the comparison right

[atomic halo]

if the number is blue (57-77) that means its showing u the modified number

[atomic halo]

yeah, you can also use your brain

[formal night]

does cast on shock make me lose mana?

[atomic halo]

you still pay all costs for triggered spels

[atomic halo]

by use your brain i mean look at tree for similar stats, hold shift to see dmg changes, calculate % change and use that to evaluate prospective buys

[atomic halo]

exactly, atkspd = more dps, proj speed is not

[compact wren]

😦 cause I don’t know what the numbers actually mean. Like what’s additive and what’s multiplicative alone is very confusing to me

[sterile stone]

there are builds that can have proj speed translated to more damage, maybe just not now, just like how slower proj is inc dps in ball lightning

[halcyon island]

Thanks

[abstract mortar]

There's a way to convert 100% dmg to lightning? ive seen node on passive tree to convert 75% to fire and a glove that converts 100% to cold but idk about lightning

[atomic halo]

"increased" = additive with other modifiers granting the same stat
"more" = multiplicative with other modifiers granting the same stat

[compact wren]

Oh so stats with different categories are always multiplicative
Like spelll damage x cold damage

While for modifies under the same category I have to pay attention to the text whether it’s more or increased

[atomic halo]

well, sources of "increased Spell Damage" are additive with sources of "increased Cold Damage"

because they affect the same stat, which is "increased Damage" and "Spell" and "Cold" are just specifiers

[halcyon island]

So what is projectile Speed Worth than on Crossbows ? I dont get why it has so many nodes when Speed does not Help at all in DPS. Like If the projectiles hit target faster or Not. I dont get the Point of Projectile Speed than.

IT would make Sense If the target would move faster and changing positions , so the projectile Hits on time but otherwise idk.

What build u refered too?

[atomic halo]

more proj speed feels better to play

and certain skills/builds may have specific payoffs for more projectile speed.

[sterile stone]

yeah some build already have so much dps you can opt for proj speed just so it feels better

[halcyon island]

Thats true i felt better going to Projectile Speed, felt satisfying but i thought i Changed my Speed there too that equals to more DPS. But ITS Just nice ti Look at as it seems but doesnt Help my DMG at all lol

I Wish i asked sooner

[sterile stone]

its not always about damage, it can be better feel, faster clear worse single target or better single target worse clear

[plain meteor]

If i use this item, can i still scale using elemental damage or do all 3 elements scale seperately now?

[storm eagle]

"75% of base attack speed" on a spell, will it change if I get "% attack speed" increase?

Or will it only change if I get cast speed?

[sterile stone]

also do we not have proj speed also contribute to damage in poe 2?

[mint arrow]

Is it worth building a melee mercenary?

[sterile stone]

well we do, but for bows

[abstract mortar]

There's a way to convert 100% dmg to lightning? ive seen node on passive tree to convert 75% to fire and a glove that converts 100% to cold but idk about lightning

[agile zephyr]

Should i go with this for frost sorceress or go with gelid staff with increased skill level?

[storm eagle]

Will increasing attack speed in skill tree, increase attack speed of a spell that says "75% of base speed"?

[plain meteor]

Generally, spell = cast speed, attack = attack speed

what skill ur referencing?

[storm eagle]

Warrior skills

[glossy jetty]

So I am in dire need of my fellow players help.. I am trying to work with Ball Lightning to shock the enemies. The issue right now for me is the base damage is 1.-19 and that damage is way to low to be able to shock the enemies even with the inherent 750% extra chance to chock. Anyone here been able to get the ball lightning damage and thus the change to chock to reliably shock?

[storm eagle]

Im dual wileding two handed so my cast speed is slow af

Im trynna figure out how I can make it faster

[plain meteor]

what spell/skill do u want to scale?

[storm eagle]

aoe ones

molten strike, sunder

not really sure where to go with the build rn

either perfect strike, or maybe just go full attack speed with dual wielding two-handed

kinda funny

[plain meteor]

u

so u gotta scale attack speed for this

Otherwise it would say

[golden python]

Is spririt rage witch still good after patch?

[solid flume]

are there currently anyway to mitigate this?

are there any elemental taken as x anywhere?

[hollow idol]

Is there any melee skill gems that can poison without it being a caster spell or from bows/crossbows?

[plain meteor]

https://poe2db.tw/us/

[sterile stone]

i know this

[hollow idol]

So I am in dire need of my fellow players help.. I am trying to work with Ball Lightning to shock the enemies. The issue right now for me is the base damage is 1.-19 and that damage is way to low to be able to shock the enemies even with the inherent 750% extra chance to chock. Anyone here been able to get the ball lightning damage and thus the change to chock to reliably shock? No one knows? :/

Hey guys. Im currenty in act 3 level 32. Im building a warrior and im going for a "1shot" /heavyhitter style by abusing passives related to cutting atk speed for more dmg, 2h dmg boost, stun boost and dmg on stun boost.

Ive been using perfect strike since its the first skill I got that worked really well with htis however I would like to look into using another move down the line when I unlock more support gem possibilities/skills.

Is there any way to help with the insane issue of using Shout+Skill (I dont even have enough mana without potion to do them consecutively once lmao).

[dreamy mulch]

it's not permanent, if you click on the left or the right you can switch the buff i think

any pathfinder players here?

So I really like the idea of using Shattering Palm as a main skill, but unarmed isn't really supported too much atm as far as I can tell. I was thinking about stacking int for the passive tree node "pure power"(2% inc dmg per 10 int), and using the unique ring call of the brotherhood which converts all lightning dmg to cold dmg.
Thoughts? 👀

[dreamy mulch]

yea this is good

[ashen cargo]

What stats do minions get from us?

It seems like added elemental damage on gloves seems to be added to minion damage

[still rock]

nope

[ashen cargo]

Is there a good rule to follow?

[still rock]

General rule of thumb is that it has to be explicitly stated as a minion affix or that it affects allies

[dreamy mulch]

only minion dmg attack etc needs to say it explkicitly

[still rock]

Auras inherently affect allies as well

But that's p much it aside from niche unique effects and stuff that may exist

[ashen cargo]

So what is weird is that I equip3d gloves that added electrical damage and then the minion tool tip added the damage from the gloves

Nothing said that it adds to minion damage here

[still rock]

Only caveat/difference from poE1 is that Totems now scale with your offensive stats

But it has to say Totem

[quartz cairn]

So I'm a little curious, are most builds just taking +5 str for the attribute nodes for life? Or should I be taking dex because ranger is more dex-based? Life seems real nice

[still rock]

What skill

I can probably figure it out

[ashen cargo]

Ok the fire dog minion from infernalist and the free minions from rattling scepter

Those both where enhanced

[still rock]

The main purpose of attributes in PoE is to gain access to gems and gear, the stats are basically a nice side effect

[still rock]

It's like the generic add 1 to 25 electrical damage

It could be something you're missing is what I'm trying to see, but it's not a big deal

[little parcel]

I like DPS but I also don't like dying haha

Stormweaver has great offensive nodes and chronomancer has none

but chronomancer is chonk

And if you utilize the slow together with other slow effects nothing can touch you

Your intuition is most likely true

hey guys, my "cast on shock" wont activate even though i have enough spirit?? any ideas? i am dumb

ive tried a couple, ember fulisade, fire wall

Is the skill inside your meta gem assigned to a particular weapon set?

2nd time in here that's happened so I'd assume it's happened a bunch

[sterile stone]

its prolly bcs people dont know/unsure, but looking at the CoI gem, i dont see why it shouldnt work

[solid badger]

Pretty lights just in time for the holidays! #justchayulathings

[sterile stone]

theres plenty of bugs currently i wouldnt be surprised its also bugged

[maiden void]

I can't get the 20% of the time, spell shoots 8 proj to work either on a cast on X gem, but the 2+ projectile gem works, but the 2+ projectile nodes do not work. At least in my testing. But most of the time when I ask questions, people seem to know how interactions are meant to work or not.

But I guess I'll have to reroll to a popular streamer build then at this point, because I'm hitting a wall at tier 3 maps with that setup sadly.

[mild tangle]

Do these two nodes also reduce Spirit cost on skills? All the other similar nodes seem to state a specific resource, like life or mana, but these two are generic:

Gemling Legionnaire > Advanced Thaumaturgy node > "30% Less Cost Of Skills"
Passive skill tree > Deep Trance > "10% Reduced Cost Of Skills"

[weak shard]

if you put a support gem on "cast on shock" along with a spell, does that support gem apply its effects to the socketed spells?

[still rock]

It may be unintentionally (or possibly intentionally) coded to only trigger on self cast

[sterile stone]

youre mixing selfcast spell and minion thats youre struggling, focus on either one, minions is easier

just spec into minion nodes, and get arsonist build

[still rock]

Yeah for the most part, but unsure of each individual application you'll have to test things rn

[weak shard]

like area effect im thinking

[still rock]

You can test via the detailed tooltip window

unsocket support - look at the area of the spell inside the meta gem, then socket and check again

Sometimes you'll be able to socket something that gives an effect but it doesn't explicitly say whether it supports the gem inside or not so you have to manually check

[maiden void]

Yeah, I guess that is what I will have to do. Going in blind I really just wanted to power up SRS with just the offensive nodes and not invest in all minion, but too many of the support nodes or support skill gems just don't seem to work.

[opaque bluff]

If you go CI/MOM, do you end up getting stunned by pretty much everything?

[maiden void]

was really hoping I wouldn't have to follow a build guide in poe2, but alas

[inland adder]

anyone know how mana regen and fire mana on witch interact?

[still rock]

You shouldn't have to, just don't stretch your build across different buckets

And adapt when something doesn't interact the way you think it would

[still rock]

They do not afaik

[inland adder]

ah dang, might have to respec in that case

[rain dust]

You can get increased stun threshold on gear

[delicate herald]

found a mace that does splash damage when you use strikes in a 1.8 meter radius. wondering if that splash damage behaves the same way as if i hit it with my mace strike, and all the support gems it has?

[still rock]

It inherits your max mana on conversion but since the new resource is not explicitly mana, mana regen does not work

That's a good rule of thumb for things that convert mana pool to a new resource

[past pendant]

Hi. Anyone play Chonomancer not in Hammer of God build ?

[rain dust]

Why would you even want to?
The game isn't even fully released. Just try a new character or experiment.

[lofty rover]

anyone playing non minion infernalist builds???

[inland adder]

but as you get more mana it increases the converteed stuff?

[still rock]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1316077636866412625

If you like pressing lots of buttons and doing dots

[still rock]

Yes because it converts the resource you have, but mana regen only interacts with mana

[inland adder]

thanks for the clarification

[maiden void]

I mean, I made it to tier 3 maps, but the way I wanted to build my character I can't seem to push it comfortably past that. But I tend to be a play a single build to 100 kind of guy, not roll alts, so was hoping I'd get further on my own build.

[still rock]

When you hit a wall you look at the individual roadblocks and try to go around them, sometimes you invest too much into the roadblocks and have to reroll, it happens. Probably way more in PoE1. I've made so many failed builds lol

[paper vine]

anyone know why this build is so popular? it doesnt even seem to be finished or tested

[still rock]

Ben

[maiden void]

yeah I am at that point, I spent about 150k gold respeccing different things. I thought ignite would work, then I thought a complete invest in elemental damage would work alongside SRS, but I pathed all the way to get the extra proj nodes, thinking they should work (since scattershot works for them) but alas, it doesn't. I even invested in a few 5 slot gems thinking that I solved the problem, just to notice after a few maps, they just don't work

[still rock]

Can't you just self cast

[thorny berry]

is there any expert ranger here?

[still rock]

They are removing the interaction from fire spells and SRS btw

[thorny berry]

or someone that knows.. well about poe in general too xd

[night wagon]

where do i find instant reload for the merc

[thorny berry]

cant understand how " increased Elemental Damage with Attacks Skills " works on ranger if anyone understands this

[still rock]

#old-game-news message @maiden void

[still rock]

If an attack has elemental dmg output, that modifier increases it

Pretty cut and dry

[thorny berry]

so my question is my bow has 66% increased Elemental Damage with Attacks Skills , does that mean since ranger convers all physical damage to elemental % i receive 66% to total damage?

that seems kinda op..

sorry man im really new to this game trying to understand

[maiden void]

I mean, I posted what I was trying to do above somewhere. I basically wanted to take the 10 offensive minion nodes (I path through them anyway) for SRS nodes, and just support SRS those with all +damage gems, and then alternativelly, take +elemental damage, and trigger fireballs (multiple gems) for cast on ignite. The goal being to machine gun the fireballs. But the +2 to proj nodes don't seem to work on triggered spells, so I spent a lot of time pathing for no reason, so I didn't get to really test if it could work past testing scattershot (which does). Wildshards also never seems to trigger when cast on ignite vs self cast.

[still rock]

The calculation probably doesn't work the way you think it does, but it is good if you are outputting elemental dmg

[maiden void]

Anyway, I'll just farm up gold and switch to someone elses tested build at this point, prolly one of the minion ones

[still rock]

Interesting, that must mean the % chance to trigger more proj is inherently coded for self-cast even though it doesn't explicitly say that

Seems like a bug to me

[maiden void]

Yeah, that's why I came here to figure out if I was missing something, since gurus here tend to know more than me. I thought I had a slow but passable idea, but with the way POE2 works, at tier 3 maps, with my current gear, if I hit a regen mob it takes 20 mins to kill, which just likely means I can't throw too much gear at the problem. I guess I'll post it as a bug for now. But I though tmaybe I was missing some wording somewhere. It's easy to test though, just put in cast on ignight, fireball (or lightning orb) with those nodes, you never ever get extra proj on those.

(or at least I don't)

[paper vine]

is warrior actually bad or are people bad bc im interested to try

[still rock]

Aside from the interaction not working it's probably a good rule of thumb for making builds to not spread your damage types too thin, so if you are scaling minions you solely focus on that unless there's a particular interaction that covers both

[true sphinx]

I am posting this without comment for people (monks) who perhaps want to shore up their early game defences

[maiden void]

well in my case, SRS only needs offensive nodes, which you path through to get the extra projs and through the starting point. I didn't really take minion life, 0 minion resistance,s etc, because SRS doens't need it

So I thought it would work if everything else was +elemental damage for fireball

[half goblet]

Is there a way to generate power charges fast af like convert frenzy to power or so? <.<

I want to make a flicker monk who’s just flickering through the map

[maiden void]

anyway, thanks, if anyone wnats to look at what I did setup, let me know, I have a build help post in case there is something I can salvage

Had those nodes worked or support gems worked, I think I owuld have had a nice C-tier build going

[still rock]

Link the thread I'll look at it when I sit down

[static thicket]

Anyone have any advice to get shock to happen more often? I can't seem to get it consistently. I'm linking orb of storms with 100% more chance to shock and it still only happens like once every 5 seconds

also using spark to trigger orb of lightning

[lyric marsh]

hey guys, I was wondering... What are you doing with small att nodes in general? I'm playing a ranger but I'm considering investing them into STR just to get more HP, or stick with DEX for ACC% and invest in STR/INT if needed for the build. What would be your take on it? This is my first char and if I can avoid having to respec the whole skill tree once I reach endgame because of a dumb choice, well, I'd prefer that xD

[true sphinx]

Chance to shock is its own stat which you can get more of, but shock chance is also dependent on damage (relative to the health of the enemy, I think?)

[sterile stone]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1hbzwmn/we_turning_the_game_back_into_poe1_with_this_one/

[still rock]

You need to have high enough damage since shock chance is inherently tied to the lightning hit damage to deal

[static thicket]

Jeez thats rough, I thought I had pretty good damage. Even if I put it on spark it doesn't happen often.

[true sphinx]

I believe I have also seen things that conditionally grant large chunks of +more chance to shock

[white patio]

Planning to build a crit fire caster for ignites, not sure if I should go Stormweaver or Infernalist, Any advice?

[faint eagle]

with 91% evasion as a monk, should I grab the acrobatics passive and have about 75% eva? Does that evade spells and stuff too?

Or should I just go for the protect me from harm invoker ascendancy

[still rock]

Mostly right, but relative to the mob's elemental ailment threshold (which may be tied or atleast correlated to health, I'm not sure)

[tidal copper]

Warrior of course ignite with the hammer of the gods

[true sphinx]

Acrobatics should evade everything, except the things it doesn't. So, DoT you've already been hit with, damaging floor areas I think, probably damaging auras

[static thicket]

does shock magnitude help with this too?

[still rock]

No, shock magnitude increases the effect of the shock (which is 20% increased damage taken baseline)

[true sphinx]

Shock magnitude increases the strength of shock's effect, ie the damage boost

I don't think it would affect application of shock

[faint eagle]

hmm.. i do have 74% with acrobatics on that seems pretty good for spells too

[still rock]

It doesn't

[faint eagle]

(with acrobatics on)

[static thicket]

okay thank you guys

[true sphinx]

For the record, while it's a fair rule of thumb, you should know that evasion chance is sort of a lie (unless they changed it from PoE 1)

[still rock]

It's an estimate based on your character level assuming you're fighting mobs about the same level, but not 100% correct in every situation since some monsters have higher accuracy

[true sphinx]

It's more like "the chance to dodge the first hit by an average enemy scaled to your level" IIRC

[thin basin]

any1 playing manastacker mom how is it

[faint eagle]

hmm.. ill play around with it! Maybe I'll go for protect me from harm ascendancy for armor and flat phys dmg reduction

[true sphinx]

I forget exactly how the evasion calculations work (by which I mean I never actually learned to start with) but I think they specifically made it so that you dodge an average amount of attacks, so it becomes less effective if you get lucky and more effective if you have a streak of getting hit. I think.

Basically they tried to make it so it's a consistent layer of defense, even though it's still technically up to chance

[brave otter]

God dammit no price checking here

[mellow wigeon]

He's difficult to play early game, but the farther you make it with him you'll start to see that you can actually sink health bars rather quickly. If you just play a little slower than other classes, you shouldn't struggle.

[brave otter]

I didn know XD

Where can we price check

[visual seal]

i mean the discounts***

anyone has a sheet of how much stash tabs get discounted? 🙂

[tidal copper]

It's fine just exaggerating lol

[true sphinx]

Stash sale was supposed to be last week but they didn't run it. Regular, essence, and currency tabs (possibly others) that you buy are copied for both games

[cedar nova]

hi lads and ladettes im an ice monk and since ice strike scales 80 percent physical damage to ice i assume the morbid quarterstaff is better?

Honestly no idea

I am not sure what all the Vaal mods are now

[brave otter]

Thank you @tidal copper fellow keyboard enthusiast

[north talon]

all I knew was there was a 75% chance (I think?) to not brick

[lyric palm]

pen is generally very good to have, just like poe1. There is a really interesting notable on the tree for freeze that lets you ignore resistances though, which means pen does nothing.

[limpid plover]

Pen is very good for bosses and not great for everything else

[true sphinx]

Got this from Reddit, seems correct.

[brittle anvil]

Anyone playing Hexblast?

[visual seal]

going to check 🙂

[north talon]

Actually better than 75% since Vaal doesn't change all mods, and some of those mods would be fine to lose. But I lose the 3 important mods, Physical damage, Physcial damage, and reduced attributes so 100% full brick

[limpid plover]

Anyone know if there's a full respec option?

You using the 2 hand in each hand node I assume?

[regal turtle]

For pathfinder is this just movement speed or attack speed as well - Relentless Pursuit: You gain immunity to slows from enemies.

You grab concoction and make a terrible build

I believe "slows" without further specification includes movement speed and broader action speed slows

[indigo valley]

Guys, I have a question for Witch Infernalist. Is it worth picking up a mace(instead of a wand) in main hand and scepter in off hand just to be able to use Herald of Ash, because you need a Martial Weapon? I am stacking life/str/armor for my minions

[thin basin]

anyone actually playing mom manastack? i wanna know how it feels lol

[north talon]

Unspecified slows is all slows afaik

[true sphinx]

I think it also applies to slows from status effects- so immune to slow would be immune to the effects of chill (you would still count as chilled for other effects I think)

[woven blaze]

Hey everyone, I would love a simple as possible explanation on the passive points, mostly the weapon set points. Do i try and bury those weapon set points into a node?

[north talon]

I mean if you don't have a need to weapon swap you can just use them as normal points

weapon swap points are not useful for every setup imo

[quaint patrol]

has anyone cooked up some coc/f/i/s tech?

[north talon]

pretty sure the strongest builds atm are in fact cast on x builds

[true sphinx]

Cast on Freeze is apparently a big thing right now for Sorceress specifically

I think it already got nerfed, but I haven't heard anyone complaining, so it probably is still very strong

[north talon]

Most of the nerfs they have done haven't been too bad, though I do think they overnerfed supercharged slam... at least in comparison to hammer of the gods and perfect strike

[still rock]

Specifically Invoker for the free energy gen

I think it's a bit overtuned

[true sphinx]

I haven't heard about anyone using Cast on Critical or Cast on Shock yet. I think because the builds that can really abuse those can mostly also use Ignite/Freeze

[north talon]

Honestly trigger gems are going to be a nightmare to balance just like PoE1

they are peak abuse case territory

[quaint patrol]

was playing coc + cof/elemental invocation as monk but eye of winter feels so bad to use

[true sphinx]

Oh no my worst nightmare, I picked a good Ascension

I've lost all my hispter cred

[still rock]

I think a lot easier here since they can adjust the trigger rate by lowering overall energy generation

[north talon]

They can, but they have to do that WITHOUT making it awful for non abuse cases

[true sphinx]

If only I had run Blood Mage 😔

[still rock]

I think blood mage is secret goated

crit is hard to get here

and spell leech

[true sphinx]

Apparently Gore Spike is broken lmao

[quaint patrol]

cast on freeze has amazing clear but single target is complete jank, trying to figure out ways to fix

[static thicket]

blood mage will be very good late game if they adjust it a bit

[true sphinx]

And I've heard leech does not work as well as it's supposed to

[static thicket]

i think people are sleeping on the bleed node but idk

[still rock]

You probably need leech rate or something, i havent really looked around for leech stuff

I'm a dotty boy

cant do it

[true sphinx]

The person I saw playing it seemed to think it was an issue of the total amount being really low, like enemies had leech resistance or something

[still rock]

Hm interesting

I think that's how theyre balancing it from what I heard

instead of Leech being bottlenecked by rate

they are adding resistance to the target itself

People are also probably expecting it to work as good as it did in PoE1

Every person complaining abt the game mechanics (aside from bugs) is looking at this game in the perspective of a game that has had a decade of power creep that's ruined the overall design and balance

[languid fox]

Yo hollup bloodmage makes you spend hp AND mana? On spells?? I thought it would make you use hp instead of mana

[true sphinx]

Also I should clarify, when I say "apparently Gore Spike is broken" what I mean is supposedly it doesn't work correctly

Like it gives a lower bonus to crit than it's supposed to

[still rock]

I heard that as well

[thorn bone]

any hex blast players

[still rock]

Or, in particular I heard that some things were not working as intended, I didn't look into the specifics

for Blood Mage

[sterile egret]

whats up with poe2db? its missing and has a lot of inaccurate information. I thought it was all data minded info?

[still rock]

Because not all the info is client side

A lot is server side

[sterile egret]

for example blasphemy gem isn't even on there

[languid fox]

Lmfao another thing that doesnt work for bloodmage XD

[still rock]

https://poe2db.tw/Blasphemy

lol

[languid fox]

Love how bloodmage is the most broken shit rn but twitter account all it talks about is bs adjustments

[still rock]

literally a search bar on the website

[snow arch]

What do you even prioritize on a weapon on a melee totem build?

[sterile egret]

odd. i was literally searching and nothing was coming up

[true sphinx]

It's possible that Blood Mage is good and we haven't seen its real potential yet, but right now it mostly looks like Blood Mage players are just suffering and that's very funny

[sterile egret]

ty!

[snow arch]

does any mod except +global attacks matter

[thorn bone]

which passives is broken

the 15% flat crit ?

[languid fox]

Its supposed to be good but when half your ascebdancy is bugged weellll

[gray ferry]

melee totems should still benefit from increased damage you get no

[languid fox]

Gore spike and leech dont work as intended

[thorn bone]

[still rock]

How exactly are they not working? Im mostly curious

[snow arch]

well they literally don't use your weapon so basically every prefix is dead

[true sphinx]

Everyone I know who tried to play it also just said that they're not sure the rest of the fantastic passives are worth dealing with Sanguimancy

[thorn bone]

here i was thinking i could get 4 points and leech the hp spend

[potent swift]

Is there a rule of thumb - how much % of your passive should go into defenses, and how much% into damage etc while building?

[true sphinx]

At minimum the leveling experience as BM is comically rough

[thorn bone]

anything melee in the beginning is so rough

[sterile stone]

nope it all depends on the build

[languid fox]

Rates that they show arent working right or maybe arent worded correctly .leech isnt giving 10% and gore crit dmg doenst add up

[thorn bone]

all dmg and then into defense if u dying too much

[warped stone]

enegy leeech and mana lech dont works?

[still rock]

Damn that sucks

[sterile stone]

if dying = more defense
if enemies not dying = more offense
if both = rip

[snow arch]

Pohx started cold blood mage, Pohx says it's not worth the pain and just go Invoker/Weaver

[still rock]

That's intended, though

[potent swift]

Oh okay, fair enough, ty

[thorn bone]

altho sometimes dying can be solved with getting CC in ur skills , (cold/slow/stun etc)

[snow arch]

I feel like cast on freeze is on death row with its clearspeed

[potent swift]

Might roll a witch or a ranger this weekend so not sure how much defenses I need to plan on

[true sphinx]

Not really? My recommendation would be that any time you die, you try to invest in a solution to what killed you. If you got oneshot or killed too quick to avoid by movement, find a node that gives you more of your primary defence (armour, evasion, ES) next to the branches you were already travelling on for damage

[gray ferry]

I haven't gotten very far yet, what makes cast on freeze stand out to the other meta trigger set ups? 🤔

[indigo valley]

anyone ?

[thorn bone]

in general freeze is a very safe cc

[true sphinx]

If you get killed by swarms, try Wind Dancer or movement skills. If you get killed by bleed or poison, try to adjust charms or see if you have relevant passives nearby. The important thing is that you don't want to stretch too far for defense, unless it's core to your build. Like, if you're doing CI you need CI, but don't take five travel nodes to get to an average ES cluster with nothing interesting nearby

[snow arch]

the 0 cost staff skill is stupid good at triggering it

[thorn bone]

why not

[gray ferry]

I see I see

[snow arch]

and comets go boom

[thorn bone]

i use shield and sceptre on my witch minion with brutes so i just shield charge

with the aura that gives stun threshold reduction, it goes hard

[acoustic geyser]

cast on freeze dead, nice nerf gg

[indigo valley]

thing is, i am loosing on those +# level of all spell skills not sure if you can get that on maces for example

[still rock]

can you not dual wield scepters?

[true sphinx]

Also it's buildup rather than % chance, which can be an upside compared to CoC or Shock

[snow arch]

scepters can go in any hand but not two of them

[still rock]

gotcha

[true sphinx]

Especially if you're using skills that hit harder, rather than faster

[thorn bone]

why u need spell levels if u minion build

[sterile stone]

scepter give 100 base spirit, youre mising my A TON

[rugged lion]

Does increased crit with quarterstaves work on invocation spells cast while using that quarterstaff?

[native widget]

NOOOO THEY FUCKED UP ALL THE TRIGGER SKILLS

😭 😭

[still rock]

He's asking to do mace+scepter over wand+scepter

[native widget]

my build is BRICKED

[gray ferry]

patch notes out?

[true sphinx]

Lmao

[indigo valley]

I am changing it from a wand to a mace

[native widget]

go look in game

[sterile stone]

oooohhhh nvm then

[true sphinx]

Time to check the damage (and laugh because I don't use triggers)

[indigo valley]

scepter is still there

[gray ferry]

I'm still patching 😔

[sterile stone]

was confused

[still rock]

Try it

[indigo valley]

All for only to use heard of ash

[sterile stone]

i think active block kinda big tho

[jaunty remnant]

sooo what to play now that freeze comet is not useable XD

[river berry]

Rip another build

[gray ferry]

did anything happen to CoC

[still rock]

If you ever ask yourself "I wonder if doing X change is better or worse damage" and it's not investment heavy to try, then try it

[native widget]

nerfed by half atleast

[gray ferry]

damnn :((

[native widget]

it so sad now

[true sphinx]

You can do fun things like apply clarity and vitality to it

[indigo valley]

tho idk how viable herald of ash is, and if it works like in poe1

[gray ferry]

Heralds are a bit different here

[snow arch]

it only triggers if you overkill by a certain percentage now

[gray ferry]

they need to be triggered by attacks iirc, but also count as attacks themselves

[somber ledge]

Did spark get touched?

[indigo valley]

so, does it work like DD ?

[sterile stone]

wont HoA only trigger from YOUR kills?

[tardy bobcat]

does spell crit affect freeze buildup at all?

[thorn bone]

take note that it must be attacks by yourself

[still rock]

Ah yeah it does say You

[indigo valley]

I've no idea

[thorn bone]

your minions don't contribute

[indigo valley]

how can i tell it works

[still rock]

If it says You it won't

[snow arch]

ailments are hit damage based, more damage more ailments

[sterile stone]

the dmg also comes from overkill and turn in into ignite, minions doesnt have alot of overkill

[still rock]

and it do

it do be saying You

[gray ferry]

yeah it specifies you, and with attacks at that

[sterile stone]

tldr its a bad idea

and wont work

[snow arch]

HoA is useless if you're just throwing magic around

[indigo valley]

so it doesn't work with minions

[thorn bone]

no

[snow arch]

and minions aren't "you" either

[true sphinx]

Honestly they should capitalize and underline "you" along with those other keywords

[sterile stone]

noppers

[still rock]

Correct

[true sphinx]

People need to know

[snow arch]

you can use the warcry for pops tho

that doesn't care who kills

[sterile stone]

they will need to capitalized a lot of words if thats the case lol

[indigo valley]

got it, so it's useless regardless if I do kill the mobs or not

[true sphinx]

As well they should

[still rock]

They should find and replace every font styling of "You" to be 100 font size and bold and in red flashing RuneScape letters

[calm orchid]

So

[sterile stone]

they should just underline it and give tooltip lik the rest

[calm orchid]

What class are we sorcs switching to

[still rock]

I like my idea better

Patch notes time

[north talon]

Buffed block and armor break <3

[thorn bone]

lmao 0unit collision.. i was thinking i was still getting body blocked with 1 unit

[north talon]

No fix to rolling slam aftershocks not dealing damage though :(

[pearl sluice]

Sorc is fine? Why switch

[obsidian lake]

how is getting your build nerfed by like 95% fine?

[pearl sluice]

I use a lightning build, did the frost meta get nerfed?

[still rock]

I said what I said about balancing energy gain

see

[obsidian lake]

it got nerfed to be basically unusable

[still rock]

im so right and correct and true

[pearl sluice]

As long as lightning is still decent my build still works

[obsidian lake]

i went from oneshotting groups of trash mobs to taking like 10s to kill group of trash mobs

[pearl sluice]

Yeah thats like a normal amount?

[sturdy shuttle]

Ayoooooo fixed that gemling thing with the patch let's goooo!!!

[north talon]

Eh... trash mobs die fast if properly geared

[calm orchid]

Yeah cast on freeze is dead

[ember dove]

No it's not lol

[calm orchid]

That was my entire build

I don’t know what to do lol

[still rock]

Incoming salt for everyone that copied the clearly overtuned meta gem builds

[flat minnow]

what no more losing sockets when you remove sockets out of your last socket for gemling?

[ember dove]

Make a new char

[calm orchid]

Just kinda cooked

[ember dove]

Any good build = overturned according to papa dumbass

[pearl sluice]

You can grind gold and switch to fire and lightning refunding your perks and grinding for different gear

[ember dove]

People want you to play poe 2 like it's fcking dark souls and take 10 s to kill a white mob

[thorn bone]

lowered energy gain on coc, have to test how bad is it now

[north talon]

I mean.... cast on X builds were very overtunned compared to other stuff

[ember dove]

MFS never played an arpg before

[still rock]

[ember dove]

I don't want to hear any 100 hour player opinion on build diversity

Ur sht

[reef valley]

Well, they upped the cooldwon for combat frenzy to about 12 seconds. No more free charges and no more perma charged staff for monks. Funny thing - its not even mentioned in the patch notes ...

[karmic parrot]

Trigger Gems and Energy Gain

"Trigger gem energy gain was not in the right place and it was far too easy to use ailments to trigger spells. One problem with the previous system is that if we balanced it to make triggering happen in boss fights then the triggering would happen far too often during clearing. In order to address this we are now making "Monster Power" part of the calculation for energy gain. This means that it's far easier to trigger skills from Unique Monsters than it is from normal monsters, but you also hit many more normal monsters when fighting. Another issue was using low level skills with unconditional ailment applications such as Flame Wall to ignite enemies for triggering. In order to make the source of the ignite matter we are making the energy gain be dependent on the strength of the ignite. We have also rebalanced all energy gain across the board." what does this mean for monks cast on freeze?

[north talon]

There are still ways to generate tons of charges for monks

[ember dove]

Ur also cooked

[atomic halo]

rip bozo trigger stuff

[flat stump]

cast on freeze feels like its barely working now

[torn junco]

im kinda sad merc has no on cast effects

[ember dove]

Any good build = nerfed

Deadeye nerfed Merc nerfed warrior nerfed

Sorc nerfed

Monk nerfed

[simple needle]

The irony is i respecced into cast on shock an hour before this update, now im cooked

[wanton juniper]

Armor break time got doubled

[torn junco]

but the duration iis doubled which is kinda pointless

[stark dome]

do charms apply to the effects that trigger them? like does a ruby charm increase the fire resistance of the hit that causes the charm to trigger?

[karmic parrot]

What does this mean for cast on freeze monks?

[flat stump]

your boned

[ember dove]

Ur build is bricked

[north talon]

the block and armor break changes are pretty big honestly, makes armor break on heavy stun actually pretty worth while for stuff that doesn't die instantly

[still rock]

Block change is great

[north talon]

Though indirect nerf to warbringer since Titan now just has more access to armor break essentially

[calm olive]

I am try turn Rain of Arrow into able to proc shock with support gem. is that possible?

[formal junco]

RIP CoF

[novel plume]

Hmm...I just got to look at the ascendancies...there's no way to play melee ranger currently from what I am seeing, right? No way to trigger poison after all which is what the non-ranged ascendancy has. Probably when spear tree comes out?

[obsidian lichen]

Hello guys, i am very new to the whole PoE thing. I liked the mercenary and i wonder if i can make a build focused on the shotgun crossbow or do you think i will need to switch to other crossbows as well?

[ember dove]

Any trigger build is bricked

[tulip elk]

ok, so now that cast on freeze and cast on anytingh is gone, how do we move on? is there a way to make the build somehow viable?

[reef valley]

If you mean siphoning strike or killing palm, i dont care, for me thats way to clunky. Otherwise, i am all ears! Enlighten me, fellow monk

[north talon]

I mean uniques actually

There is a unique that has iirc 20% to grant powercharge on all hits

[still trout]

Probably works great, go for it

[tulip elk]

didnt want to just create a new character

[prime crane]

RIP all witch energy trigger build

[still rock]

Instead of malding, anyone who wants to play meta gem skill builds should look into investing into energy generation, or possibly just playing Invoker. It's build heavily into the kit. Before this change it was clearly overtuned based on the investment required.

[prime crane]

we're all 10% effective now

[still rock]

dont @ me

[novel plume]

@ you

[earnest radish]

Any good fire gemling builds?

My ignite coi build is now cooked ha

[novel plume]

I made my idiot choice with ranger not reading ahead. Will just start over with something else and come back to her with spears or daggers~

[still rock]

I'm excited for huntress and spears

[hushed bloom]

Anyone know whether the latest patch fixed the non-existent spell Leech on Bloodmage?
They say they buffed leech... But not sure

[sterile stone]

coc seems fine

[novel plume]

I just wanted to play melee ranger. Sadly the ascendencies proved with current weapons that would be playing about half a character.

[native widget]

lmfao

[sterile stone]

it was clearly op you can trigger with a lv 1 flame wall

[gray ferry]

We're probably expecting huntress and druid next maybe?

[native widget]

so heres the thing, my spells trigger about 1/5 the frequency they used to

[gray ferry]

since we saw some previews of them

[ember dove]

I meant cast on builds

[calm olive]

maybe, when Rouge/Assassin class is out, you can do that.

[north talon]

Specifically what I am generating charges with

[gray ferry]

coc is cast on crit

[sterile stone]

yes cast on crit is fine

[novel plume]

Ya I derped and didn't check the ascendancies before trying, haha. Lesson learned.

[native widget]

😭 no way you are saying that

[novel plume]

Didn't realize the second ascendency would be poison based...with no way to apply poison 🙂

[wraith spear]

so cast on shock/ cost on freeze got nerfed? i just got comet and cast on shock like 10 minutes before reset

[past kindle]

nah cast on crit pretty in the ground now

[reef valley]

I actually even have that armor. But you gotta press often if you dont wanna loose the charges i guess. Do you also use the Spirit gem so that charges give passive buffs with it?

[calm olive]

can confirm. leech is now stronger. roughly 2x.

[north talon]

Yes, though not sure if that is correct. It is an intresting chest though, but yeah you have to manage the charges often

[sterile stone]

are you being serious or not?

[dreamy mulch]

did they drop patch notes yet

scurred for gas grenades

[past kindle]

at least for clearing in maps yea

bossings fine

[dreamy mulch]

if it goes again im rerolling prolly

[novel plume]

Oh, wait. I have not SEEN one yet but can weapons deal poison damage?

[past kindle]

but since its just based on enemy power its real hard to clear packs without having more damage on your attacks

at least for attack based CoC

[worn junco]

I got a legendary chest with iron will on it.. what does it do exactly? I couldn’t find a description

[reef valley]

Nice to hear, its a neat tech you using and you got me thinking 🙂 Thx for the input!

[past kindle]

have no clue what its like for casters

[gaunt ether]

What is “impact”

[calm orchid]

If they’re nerfing sorc like this then ball lightning ranger is next

[sterile stone]

its for ailment

[visual seal]

hey guys what would you say is missing in stash tabs from poe1? the map thing and is there anything else?

[novel plume]

As an affix that is, like +X-Y Poison Damage or the like.

[bitter trail]

Guys I’m at work right now 😦 can’t do this but is lightning warrior viable? I wanna feel like Thor

[obsidian lake]

the nerfs wouldnt be that bad if they made respec free but i currently cant even fully respec cause it would be like 300-400k gold

[hushed bloom]

Are you testing on Bloodmage?

[past kindle]

i just played it, it got nerfed alongside it

[gaunt ether]

Is impact earthquake

[past kindle]

since white mobs are 1 power youre gettin pretty shit all for energy charge

[sterile stone]

they did adjust all trigger gem, but the power monster only applies to ailment triggers

[reef valley]

You also use Flikker strike with it?

[north talon]

and just confirmed, rolling slam aftershocks are still non functional

[sterile stone]

it got nerfed for sure but i wouldnt say its on the ground

[north talon]

yeah

[past kindle]

its right there idk what youre talkin about

i went from casting once/twice per pack to once every 3-4 pack

[novel plume]

Actually...I'm guessing there is no +Poison damage modifier a weapon can roll, eh?

[past kindle]

maybe one cast in a rare mob pack but yeah no the energy gain is guttered

[dense gale]

So is there a cyclone build in this bitch yet lol

[past kindle]

it wouldnt be so bad if energy gain also scaled based off crit damage modifiers or something but the amount is so little now

[gray ferry]

no cyclone yet

[analog rampart]

Can DOTs crit?

[dense gale]

Sad

[sterile stone]

oh i just saw

[dense gale]

I would believe so

[obsidian lake]

i understand them having to nerf stuff but why do they gotta nerf it so bad you can throw the build in the trash and start a new class

[sterile stone]

no dots cannot crit

[novel plume]

I mean...to be honest it sounds like most other builds now.

So I guess...almost all builds are trash?

[sterile stone]

melee: this is a buff

[spiral kraken]

have all the people bitching even looked at all the energy nodes that exist lol

[novel plume]

Melee: I win by doing nothing!

[dense gale]

Increase freeze build-up ez clap

[stuck coyote]

So, what are the other options for sorc now? clear is dead after the patch. Hopefully it will be reverted but I doubt it. Any1 got a direction?

[spiral kraken]

energy nodes

[stuck coyote]

Pretty much every sorc build was based around cast on

[past kindle]

time to take a break from POE2 until theres a few adj to CoC lmao

[novel plume]

I mean when something is borked no reason to build anything else.

I am sure there are other viable builds, just was no reason to find them.

[obsidian lake]

what you mean all the energy nodes there are 6 meta energy nodes in totla

[calm orchid]

Ranger is definitely getting gutted next

[spiral kraken]

thats all you need?

[novel plume]

They can gut ranger, I'm a melee ranger anyways so I will still win! 🙂

[calm olive]

all gem that does trigger, like auto-cast on shock, etc got nerfed?

[stuck coyote]

Energy nodes aren't enough.

[sterile stone]

i was about to try following jungs build

[stuck coyote]

Unless you literally go out of your way to grab every single one

[sterile stone]

im sure hell figured it out

[spiral kraken]

just because youre not casting 20 meteors every pack lol

[obsidian lake]

yeah how is getting 40% more energy gonna be enough if you get like 1 energy from hitting a white mob

[past kindle]

idc about what hes doing lmao

[karmic parrot]

How is charged staff monk doing?

[silk juniper]

you cant expect the insane broken build to remain insane broken

[past kindle]

just wanted to try melee CoC and as i got it online it pre much went into the ground

[novel plume]

Monk continuing to do fine until he accidentally dashes into three bombs.

[wild nimbus]

how does poison arrow works now ?

[stuck coyote]

The problem is sorc has nothing else going on. What does sorc even do without cast on X?

[novel plume]

Cast on Y.

[stuck coyote]

the skills are very lackluster to scale without it

[ruby bluff]

So who else is here after they completely gutted energy?

[past kindle]

its so tough now since im already split on having to scale attack and spell since ele expression is based on melee crit so

[obsidian lake]

yeah the nerf was expected but going from 6 meteors from every freeze to like 6 meteors every 30 freeze is just not really usable anymore unless u want to spend 30min on a tier 1 map

[autumn granite]

this is basically how GGG operates.

also I really dont understand GGG's obsession with cast on X.

they always nerf cast on X builds just enough to make them useless until someone finds some new interaction that once again makes them powerful and then GGG again nerfs it.

why have cast on X if you're not willing to deal with it? Just remove the thing then

[past kindle]

im left with so little and spread thin from passive

[devout valve]

im very new to poe series could someone give me a good summoning which build to follow mainly the skill tree

[spiral kraken]

ghazzy on youtube

[steel pebble]

any commet builds wanna help me swap to lighting lol

[stuck coyote]

What will you do with lightning? not enough damage there

[past kindle]

really hoping they can make some adjustments for melee crit cause our energy rate is way lower by comparison

[vast python]

Ghastly is a pokemon, you mean Ghazzy

[stuck coyote]

clear will be good, but what about single target?

[spiral kraken]

auto correct goes hard

[steel pebble]

idk you have any other ideas besides switching

might aswell try

[obsidian lake]

with all the nerf i really think the just want every class to take atleast 30min to clear 1 t1 map

otherwise its to overpowered

[karmic parrot]

Is charged staff monk still feeling strong?

[north talon]

O.o that is a gross exageration

[stuck coyote]

People love to overdo it

It is very frustrating though, since I just respeced to archmage CoF and used most of my gold on it

[ruby bluff]

this games strives on those type of interactions they just get exaggerated due to great gear

why they want to take it away so pad

[steel pebble]

really curious where to go with this now if have any ideas hmu

[ruby bluff]

thrives*

start over

only option ngl

[stuck coyote]

Only other avenue for sorc to scale damage is archmage

[ruby bluff]

they didnt even release passive skill tree reset

[stuck coyote]

but every skill seems garbage without CoF
