[undone mortar]

There's your issue

[still rock]

Whats your chao res

[neat laurel]

like 0

[still rock]

Dont ignore chao res kids

[neat laurel]

do breach mobs do chaos damage ?

[still rock]

For now use a chao res charm but get it higher

[hidden perch]

How much ES is recommended at level 80 or so?

[undone mortar]

Oh yeah they do

[still rock]

I haven't done a new breach yet but I assume so based on the flavor of breach

[undone mortar]

They FUCK with chaos

[proven umbra]

is lord of horros bugged or am i stupid?

[hidden perch]

considering a build with chaos innoculation

[proven umbra]

doesnt do anything to reservation

[muted birch]

Hi, i think i made a really glass cannon build using a spark sorcerer, im level 50 in act 4 and i do a shit ton of damage like every boss Fight until now ends in a maximum of 30 seconds but a lot of the fights are basically play perfectly or get one one shotted or close to it scenario
I have life armor and resistances on almost every piece and they are quite high since most pieces are level 40 or above, even using rings and charms according to the elements that the boss has
Is it normal or maybe i made mistakes in the passive tree? Cause i’ll gladly replace some attack in exchange for more defence

[honest storm]

So after nerfa what do people think are the strongest builds at ? Hammer burn? Shock how? Minions?

[still rock]

It should reduce the value required to activate the minion and additional minions by the 12%

[neat laurel]

just wondering if my evasion here is good enough or not

[still rock]

Unallocate - look at spirit cost, allocate - look at spirit cost

[still rock]

Yes but based inherently on how eva works you need to layer

You will get hit at some point

[proven umbra]

yeah thats what i mean, doenst do anything

[twilit osprey]

Any lightbing sorcs willing to help a brotha out?

[proven umbra]

i think its buigged

[neat laurel]

was thinking of grabbing these too but not sure @still rock

they are relatively close to my already picked nodes

[still rock]

I like the first one, unsure of the effectiveness of the first one

I'm not a big fan of at full life modifiers

Especially for defense modifiers

[alpine mural]

does ice shot with frost wall works? like does it make the projectiles shotgun?

[still rock]

Because you need defensive modifiers the most when you arent at full life

[neat laurel]

👍

[graceful parcel]

Does anyone know how do skills from ascendancies (like into the breach) gain quality?

[zinc ravine]

what exactly does Turtle Charm from warbringer do? includes spells?

[undone mortar]

This node

Stack like 15k-20k evasion

[neat laurel]

already have it

[undone mortar]

Take it

Then you're gucci

[neat laurel]

problem is I dont have 15k-20k evasion without deadey

[undone mortar]

Proboably the best defense in the game

[neat laurel]

I am pathfinder

[still rock]

Oh damn thats phat

[visual wasp]

Q: WHY can i not implement "infernal Cry" mace skill lvl3 on "cast on minion death" occult skill lvl 8?

[still rock]

I havent looked at eva stuff yet

[pearl sluice]

So i wanna try melee, monk or warrior?

[still rock]

That's like PoE1 acrobatics on methamphetamines

[undone mortar]

I think a lot of issues with evasion are due to SOME mobs having little 'slams' as their default attacks.

They slam the ground and ignore your evasion

Instead of striking you

[still rock]

They did done give acrobatics some crack coaine

[undone mortar]

So until you take that node you just get shit on

[young meteor]

How do I deal with ranged units hitting me as a energy shield monk?

[neat laurel]

I have the node the problem is what you mentioned

having enough evasion

I am at like 6k before modifiers I am guessing not sure

[still rock]

Ideally, move

space bar

[young meteor]

its so rough

[narrow crypt]

What are the best runes for quarterstaffs?

[severe nexus]

I am following CaptainLance9 Stormweaver Spark build. He recently posted a POE2Planner.

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/caeye0hz - CaptainLance9

I compared both his and mine gear and somehow he has more ES and Mana.

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/qagnc0hg - Mine

From gear he has a total of 869 Mana + 2% and 1128 ES.
Whereas I have 939 Mana and 1049 ES.

From tree he has a total of 32% to Max Mana & 437% to Max ES.
I have 29% to Max Mana & 437% to Max ES.

He has a total of 5216 ES & 4419 Mana.
I have 4431 ES & 3433 Mana.

Please can someone tell me what I am missing ? I'm losing my mind.

[young meteor]

like I cant attack if there are enough

[undone mortar]

GET DOWN

[still rock]

You'll get hit eventually

happens

thats why we get life

[undone mortar]

Try cast on freeze ice wall

To block them

[still rock]

That sounds fun

[young meteor]

hmmm that may work

[undone mortar]

It was my build for a while

I dropped it to test herald stuff

[north talon]

Finally, I have a worse replacement for the Mace I bricked. I can play my Warbringer again.

[still rock]

Kinda bummed heralds are attack locked

[pearl sluice]

Why can't Ignition work on Flame Wall?

[still rock]

tbh

[hidden perch]

what's the body armour that doubles your ES? or is there a body armour with high evasion and ES?

[neat laurel]

@still rock you think you have time to take a look at my build ?

[stable lake]

Does Titans hulking form give more Attributes from small nodes?

[shrewd prawn]

Is there a way to put quality into skills gained from your ascendency?

[serene minnow]

isnt spell echo supose to repeat my spell cast ? its doing nothing for flame wall or profane ritual both spells

[undone mortar]

Those can't repeat

[serene minnow]

[undone mortar]

Unless you add the gem that lets you have more than 1 up at a time

[upbeat river]

How does ES recharge rate work with EB?

[deft verge]

does this work on minion kills?

[tired citrus]

anyone else tried putting this support gem into firestorm ? seems like a perfect match, however it does not seem to trigger the debuff for me even though i can slot it in.

[rancid kite]

Hi! iam new to poe 2 running monk class need help which armor type should i choose evasion or armor or energy shield

[foggy slate]

doryani ign- oneluv

[undone mortar]

No.

[deft verge]

thank you

[undone mortar]

You can do whatever but monk is close to a lot of evasion and ES nodes

[foggy slate]

doryani ign- oneluv

[boreal knot]

anybody knows how much ele resist bosses have in high tier maps?

[thick herald]

Does sorc ascendancy passive Sharper of Storms means that litterally every source of dmg can apply shock even if there is no electric skills being used?

[undone mortar]

Yeah

[rancid kite]

should i need to use armour ?

[undone mortar]

You'd use whatever good gear you find in campaign

[lime breach]

For Minions is Sorc/Infern or Witch better ?

[rancid kite]

iam on end game died so many time cant progress

[tribal raft]

anyone here playing poision ranger? I wonder what the best bow is for that build (im lvl55)

[neat laurel]

ye, anything with flat phys damage, percentage phys damage, attack speed, projectile levels is good

flat phys and percentage phys damage are mandatory since they scale your DoT

[tribal raft]

thanks a lot

[cold oak]

Is Deadeye Gas Grenade still viable? I don't mean insanely good but not nerfed to unplayable state?

[neat laurel]

you doing poisonburst ?

[tribal raft]

I use poison arrow as my main spell to apply poison

@neat laurel u think mana leech off phys dmg is good aswell? I get mana problems rly fast

[azure saffron]

does zealot's oath recharge of energy shield get buffed by +ES Recharge Rate?

[neat laurel]

I have a bunch of mana regen personally

[native ice]

Does potential work with skills that already consume power charges like bonestorm?

[foggy slate]

doryani ign- oneluv

[warped ridge]

is this a good node to go for? (minion build and chose infernalist path)

[pearl sluice]

For ranger, shouldi go down the dmg tree 9t evade tree?

[tired citrus]

what does "low mana" mean for a flask ? is that 40% ?

[deft mirage]

trial of sek is horrible

why tf did they think it was a good idea

it works completely against my build

[neon crescent]

What to respec CoF sorc into?

[sacred cosmos]

can you give more context? Is it in text on an item or your character yelling? 😄

[last patio]

what's the total amount of spirit you get from quests?

60?

[sour basin]

life per second - life regeneration rate
leech - leech rate
is there anything that would increase the "health gained on block" to make those flat numbers scale more with %?

[vapid zephyr]

Pretty sure it’s 35% or lower

[tribal raft]

@neat laurel 1 more question. do u have a lot of INT? I only found mana regen on sorcerer gear

[still rock]

are you thorns or something?

[neat laurel]

I do because I run ball lightning and withering presence

106 intelligence

mostly use it for bossing to trigger more wither stacks since it hits every 0.2 seconds

[tired citrus]

does the curse have full duration when it spreads to something else ?

[surreal veldt]

It does I believe

is this a support gem for Contagion?

[dusty shale]

What build is no one playing so I know what to go after that's nerf proof?

[last stream]

I'm using the 50% dmage taken recouped as mana belt. But even if I take loads of damage and leave the fight, my mana does not get back any faster whatsoever.
Is this working for anyone or am I missing something here?

[knotty ice]

Hey I'm doing an unarmed only build. Sadly that just means I get killing palm, shattering palm, and fist of chayula. Anyone got any tips on making this work, I got to end of act 1 with them but man it's hard. Support gems help a bit but I'm struggling to figure what combination would cause the best effects. I haven't been able to find facebreakers like in Poe 1 so I'm not sure if there's some equipment that's similar. Thanks!

[versed tundra]

I assume "low mana" is <35%?

[open hinge]

contagion isn't a curse, IIRC

[last patio]

it's not a curse

[open hinge]

just a debuff

[last patio]

I'm trying really hard to come up with a chaos monk build

[open hinge]

Yeah, very weird that monk has a whole chaos-based ascendency with basically 0 chaos skills.

[high relic]

As a Freeze + Charged staff Monk, what should I search on my staff? Physical Damage or Elemental Damage? (Besides Level melee skill)

[hoary plover]

its hexbloom, a curse support that kinda acts like contagion

[neon crescent]

bump

archmage?

[mellow escarp]

How do Int builds typically build for Physical defenses? Is it just having massive life/mana/ES pools, or is there actually some physical mitigation somewhere?

[surreal veldt]

Sorry I know I use contagion to spread flammability on packs I'm getting things mixed up

[open hinge]

Monk skills convert phys to element - so just get phys. Extra element is ok, but phys is fine

[shell night]

are the warriors shield skills absolutely useless dmg wise? i mean sure i don’t want them to obliterate stuff but atleast dunno make white trash mobs HP actually move at all? i’m wielding 2 handmade mace with shield and can 2 skill entire groups thx to broken boneshatter but the shield skills don’t do jack shit shield wall only multiple my armor break on enemy’s.

[lyric cape]

I'm leveling a poison ranger (closing act 1 soon) is there any synergies with crossbow I could use as a 2nd weapon set

[last patio]

I'm thinking it would have to rely heavily on dark effigy + cast on crit or cast on freeze

[tired citrus]

support gem for ground aoe curses like flammability and temporal chains

[tired citrus]

how exactly dose this work ?

i am curious :D

[mighty verge]

Is there anyway to convert 100% of physical to elemental damage?
like can you convert lightning arrow or falling thunder to entirely Lightning? gems, unique gear, anything

[mild flower]

which one is the best ranger build, i want high clear speed

[knotty ice]

@shell night bro try molten strike, with shattershot and fire infusion. It kills EVERYTHING and it's a one button build for sure. No one's abusing it but it's disgusting

Costs like nothing, and literally wipes everything. Combine with herald of ash ur the most op character I've played

Don't tell devs tho, I am enjoying too much

[surreal veldt]

Contagion spreads any chaos effects on mobs. So if you put one of the effects that causes the curse to do chaos dot or something like that onto a monster then place contagion, it will carry to curse with it when it spreads
P.S. I have to read it again though because I don’t think I have those on my flammability rn and it still spreads. That might be a bug but with the right support gems It should work.

[wanton gate]

is gemling legionaire minion build good and works?

[neon crescent]

bump

[last patio]

could a chronomancer work well with monk skills, taking advantage of the recoup nodes?

[civic night]

whats Quinn69 using for a build ?

bloodmage based 2 h mace

[mighty verge]

Bump

[undone mortar]

Many skills also convert much of their damage

[tired citrus]

currently ive put flmmabity and temporal chains on my cast on ignite and i am thinking of putting this so it spreads both the curses for me

but your idea seems good too

[wooden horizon]

Any stormweaver builds that work endgame post the obliterating nerf?

[surreal veldt]

Oh yea it’s been working for me so I haven’t messed with any of the “cast on ___” stuff. Figured I’d get to that if/when I wanted to play around with build more

[still basin]

are we allowed to post buildplanners in here guys?

[sacred cosmos]

I looked at the trade site for conversion mods and couldn't find any that convert from physical, only from elemental to other elemental

[dreamy crow]

Hey, could somebody suggest a few good but cheap anointments for a fire grenade merc?
Every one I check needs fear or isolation which I can't afford 😄
Any good defensive ones would work too,
Thanks!

[deft mirage]

no, bonestorm

but my build is about being tanky

and being up in their face

im built to get hit

[livid hamlet]

How would you generate power charges as a witch ?
Currently i use profane ritual linked to cast on minion death support

but i feel it's not enough

power charge generation and single target are the biggest issues for my witch right now

[still rock]

I mean you can still get hit just dont face tank lol

[livid hamlet]

physical self caster

[last patio]

the fact that life recoup nodes are situated right where chronomancer would path over to monk nodes makes me think there's something there

[deft mirage]

my build is based on having double my maximum health, which the honor system doesnt recognise so i have half the honor I should really have, and I, built to face tank.

[still rock]

Are you crit or nah

[grizzled geyser]

if i go chronomancer with MoM and go full recoup with just the lightning dmg per intelligence and the 25 intelligence node will that be enough dmg in my build or is it too defensive?

[mellow escarp]

Are Jewel sockets important in poe2?

[knotty spruce]

So im currently planning my Acolyte monk build with into the breach using chaos as extra dmg. I just kinda got no clue what i should go for tho. Like do i focus on crit and phys with a couple of ele nodes? or more ele nodes

[spice tree]

Will pillar of the caged god scale from cold damage

[deft mirage]

is what i use

[still rock]

Voll's Protector would be ideal if you're crit, or just use power siphon cull

[last patio]

I forgot, we can max all ascendencies in early access right?

nodes*

[short mango]

we can. painfully but we can

[wet mango]

wdym max

we can get 8 points yes

[last patio]

yeah that, ok ty

just saw a lvl 94 build guide that only had 4 nodes which confused me

[livid hamlet]

I am going crit in fact

i guess time to farm for volls

[wide belfry]

Yo i'm a merc lvl 45 followed guide on maxroll granade build, with passive/support gems etc but stuck on bosses with fkn nuddle dps, i smash adds easy thou but wanna also kill bosses. Currently viper act3.

Can any1 dm me a build that can solve the problem? Ty in advance

[livid hamlet]

it's still early

but man detonate dead chaining

is turbo fun

[last patio]

I really want to make chronomonk work but I'm worried that all the cast / cooldown nodes will ruin it's value

[tired citrus]

do you need to afflict the same enemy with contagion and flammability for flamability to spread or does killing someone with contagion just spread everything. Also I am confused that contagion spreads flmmability tbh... it says it spreads "chaos damage over time debuffs"

[dreamy crow]

Thank you for the bug report,
this is un-intended and will be fixed shortly

[winged halo]

i had a +35% spirit on my sceptre for my witch with a total of 173 spirit next to my mana. Now i swapped it for a better sceptre giving me a +43% in crease in spirit but my spirit level has not changed. any idea why? any help really appreciated.

[brave trench]

you're gonna need more dmg than that. you could use archmage since you're lightning based

[last patio]

but the life recoup nodes on chronomancer + these recoup nodes here MUST mean that they intended a chronomonk recoup build, right?

like why in the world would you put recoup nodes there otherwise

[lime orchid]

Okay so I need advice here. My SRS aren't auto summoning like they're supposed to. Here's my stuff

Cast on minion death/flamewall (or solar orb)/ impetus.

SRS/Infernal legion/minion instability/ feeding frenzy(still haven't got that one but I will soon)

Anyways, they should be auto summoned after they die, and all that happens is flame wall or solar orb will fire off.

[inland pelican]

:D

[barren snow]

When you have a pierce on quiver (100%) you dont need it in the passive tree right?

[teal sail]

can I be a warior that does curses, realistically? The passives are on opposite sides of the circle

[still basin]

If anyone is interested in an ice strike invoker monk, I made a Planner for it
Im super new to the game and im still working on the tree and everything since its my own build with a little help from a friend. hope someone likes it 😄 theres also a short showcase in the planner with a t9 map + Boss 🙂

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ykhoi030

[last patio]

are there any skills that give a lot of recoup?

or support gems

[brave trench]

not without heavy investment. even the int requirement is rough

[static plinth]

Just dont get passives, theyre relatively free support

[teal sail]

Im at like level 15 and took attributes to move twords chaos damage, have like 75 str/int

[dapper fern]

is it worth to pick nodes that give stun threshold based on maximum energy? its conveniently placed near other nodes i wanna path towards

[teal sail]

what do you mean? dont get curse/chaos passives?

[brave trench]

if you have low hp and high es yes

[static plinth]

Yeah? Unless you mean "do curses" as in use Decaying Hex for damage

But you can just slap curses on anyone

[vital flare]

I have a question about Ancestral Bond and the keystone that say “add 1 additional totem”. Do they work together ? Or do ALL totems take spirit ant the extra totem keystones worthless ?

[indigo cedar]

Does armor matter? Like i'm a fire mage but I prefer armor/energy gear but am wondering if i'll get less mage stats on the rolls, or should I focus on getting only energy armor

[teal sail]

ah my plan was to heavily spec into curses and spreading them, witch skills. Maybe these arent called curses im not totally sure

[brave trench]

why do that as a warrior?

you'll be far away from those things

[teal sail]

cuz death knight seems cool

ive already gotten to the first curse passive tree - just dont know if this means Ill heavily cap myself in hte longer term

for now its working

[teal sail]

theres armor, energy armor, and evasion. Usually best to stick to 1/2 of those, so you can build into them

[brave trench]

well titan might work with anything

[surreal veldt]

Yea there is a support gem that makes your curse do Chaos dot. So the enemy needs to have the contagion and the curse on them for it to spread.

[brave trench]

depends on your build, really. having a bit of armor doesn't do much because of how it works

[undone mortar]

Unfortunately, the chaos DOT playstyle isn't well supported currently

[atomic kindle]

yo @still rock you around?

[undone mortar]

There's not a lot of ways to scale it

[mighty verge]

Thanks for checking

[atomic kindle]

whos talking about chaos dot

[static plinth]

Dark Effigy:

[atomic kindle]

im playing it and its op

[static plinth]

Its great

[undone mortar]

Effigy isn't great

[indigo cedar]

idk how to word it. like I assume going full energy armor would give more offensive stats like a glass cannon. but im wondering if using armor that gives half armor half energy shield, if i'll still get good sorcerress rolls like int and what not

[undone mortar]

Or rather it's kinda clunky

[atomic kindle]

ah i see

[undone mortar]

If you don't want to do minions

[teal sail]

damn, and its alreaddy pretty hard to pull off on controler - when I do pull off my current rotation its quite nice, but I think I need to do massive pulls and get lucky on target lock for multiple curses in a row

[brave trench]

the mods are mostly the same. you'll just add armor nodes to the pool

[atomic kindle]

yah f minions im just using them early for some tank but im gunna end up going EB and MOM

and drop minions

[teal sail]

evasion give you a chance to dodge ingle target hits/projectiles. Doesnt help with cleave and AoE

[knotty spruce]

Does extra chaos dmg for example from the tree affect Gain % of damage as extra chaos damage?

[undone mortar]

You mean increased chaos damage?

Yes

[atomic kindle]

pretty sure extra is a more mulitpler

[knotty spruce]

ah yeah thats what i meant and sick

[undone mortar]

It's not a 'more' mutiplier but it does function similarly

[knotty spruce]

im makign a acolyte monk build and im gona go event horizon as im only really using 1 chaos ability

[undone mortar]

15% added as extra is basically 15% more, if you start from 0

[indigo cedar]

so if im a fire mage should i just go full energy shield ?

[still rock]

Using effigy currently with envenom to scale dmg on ED with drain ailment and it works really well just a lot of buttons in the build (https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1316077636866412625)

[atomic kindle]

start from 0 as is 0 0? or 0 as in no other extra

[undone mortar]

As in no oother extra

[still rock]

Single target still rough as of now

[atomic kindle]

oh sweet you are here

[knotty spruce]

yeah sorry i did mean % increased chaos damage

[still rock]

sup

[brave trench]

ES is more readily available as a mage, but you can do armor stuff if you plan for it

[atomic kindle]

can i send you a skill tree i made for ED contaigant? wanna know your thoughts

[brave trench]

thing is, because of how armor works, you're incentivized to stack a lot of it. its very ineffective if you only have a bit of it

[still rock]

Sure probably will be a bit before im at a computer tho so itd be later tonight for me to really look at it well

[indigo cedar]

how does armor work ?

[atomic kindle]

awesome ill send you a dm in that case

[still rock]

post it in the ed channel i made

[undone mortar]

It reduces physical damage from hits, more effectively the smaller the hit is.

Bigger hits, it's less effective

[indigo cedar]

but why is it less usefull if u don't stack a ton of armor

[still rock]

effigy is also a very good wither totem

[undone mortar]

Because big hits exist

[shell night]

thx but sry i dislike playing a mele chat with those skills they feel to much like an caster xD.

[undone mortar]

If you have 1000 armor and you take 100 damage, it would reduce it (hypothetically) to 50 damage.
If you take 1000 damage, it'll only reduce it to 900 damage.

Hypothetical numbers

I don't know how the equation works in poe2

[north talon]

I want to make a chaos/poison monk but it feels like there just isn't enough support for it. Probably will need to wait for shadow for more melee poison support.

[undone mortar]

So, 50% effective PDR vs 10%

[orchid torrent]

is comet worth using in any form? casting it straight seems bad since I just die occasionally due to looong cast time, and having it in cast on freeze means youj basically never cast on freeze - so cold snap seems amybe still bettter there anyway

or is there a good place for comet usage

[atomic kindle]

can you post the channel again?

[still rock]

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

[lavish kayak]

For sorcerers do people usually go a combination of frost fire and lightning, or just spec into one or two?

[orchid torrent]

you mostly go into one, you can try to spec into multiple but the game isnt built to do that well

it kin dof pigeonholes you unless you really go out of your way

[tidal copper]

Use it when the enemy is stun add execute to it profit

[lavish kayak]

So i shouldnt spec passive stats for any damage types other than the one i want to go for then?

[tidal copper]

Sounds pretty logical

[orchid torrent]

I mean if you have a cool idea you can do it, but generally it's definitely a lot easier to just buld on one element sadly

[tidal copper]

You do have alternative trees 2 elements might be doable
Shock is good support for other dmgs

[mighty verge]

Specifically physical to elemental. That's elemental to elemental

[undone mortar]

That's mostly on skills

From what i've seen

[left ledge]

I’ve been theory crafting a str stacking titan. I know there is a node on the tree for increase damage per str, and one that add all str as accuracy so you could do the accuracy stacking as well. Just an idea but str stacking is main.

I know corrupting blood and the unique staff works good with str stacking is there anything else that might be considered.

Going titan for the 50% small nodes. This will also lead to massive life.

What about skills in general that might be good?

[mighty verge]

And I mentioned skills that's convert, I'm wondering if there is 100% conversion

[lavish kayak]

So what's the best for damage alone? Lightning is probably my favourite
Im guessing frost is more for the defensive side, but im not sure between fire and lightning

[undone mortar]

Sure, gas arrow converts the explosion 100% to fire

[still rock]

Correct, a general rule of thumb is that you want to bucket your damage types dealt into one thing so you can scale it better rather than three things not scaled as well

[last patio]

oh god, eternal youth node + all life recoup nodes

[orchid torrent]

frost was pretty good but it just got nerfed, Im not sure what's best right now - imo just build whatever you think is coolest since they change things a lot right now anyway

[last patio]

i'm def making chronomonk

[lavish kayak]

Fair enough, thanks

Also one more question, what are sceptres for? I cant find a class that uses them, is it just a general weapon for any magical users?

[midnight obsidian]

summoners (or anybody else that likes to reserve a bunch)

[north talon]

Mostly witchs and eventually also Templar who are not in game yet

[still rock]

Cold damage wasn't nerfed

Where do you guys make this shit up lol

[lavish kayak]

Ah right thanks both

[daring bobcat]

Main dmg skill for mob packs went from 100% uptime to like 20% how is that not nerfed

[last patio]

think about it, time snap + eternal youth + life recoup and all the cooldown resets, anytime you take damage you can get back to 100% hp without flasks or risk of death with timesnap and temporal rift

[royal gazelle]

Anyone know what protect me from harm does the invoker node, does it give a flat 40% physical damage reduction based on evasion rating do I lose evasion when getting this?

[still rock]

ONE build utility using comet got nerfed, saying cold damage overall got nerfed is not correct and misleading to people asking for advice

[undone mortar]

That has nothing to do with COLD damage

[daring bobcat]

But everything to do with dmg on a ice sorcerer build so....

[mighty verge]

They probably meant cold-damage focused sorc.

No need to get at eachothers throats

[still rock]

Your brain is a marble

[undone mortar]

They changed the wording

[daring bobcat]

Do you do less dmg than you used to ? If yes, it's a nerf. We could argue semantics but facts are you do less dmg. so dmg got nerfed

[still rock]

thats not true either

What I said is true

[undone mortar]

You can still use trigger skills to deal damage

[still rock]

one build utility was nerfed, not even the build itself because you can transition into other skills

[undone mortar]

Comet just isn't a great option anymore

[elder turret]

what is then ?

[royal gazelle]

Thanks still weird they mention armor bc monk is more evasion/energy shield but I guess it acts as armor

[still rock]

and comet dmg itself wasnt nerfed, its interaction with being triggered got nerfed

[undone mortar]

Why is it weird? It does what it says.

Basically your ES also acts as armor

Which is actually not that great because I think armor is currently kinda shit

But it's okay

[north talon]

I mean it is a pretty noticable additional defensive layer

[surreal veldt]

So I haven’t used any “cast on” stuff, but it still consumes mana right? Does it still do the cast animation/movement slow too?

[undone mortar]

Yeah it'll work well most of the time in mapping

[daring bobcat]

consumes mana yes, doesn't have cast time

[undone mortar]

It consumes the mana yes

It does not care about cast time or cooldown

[surreal veldt]

Oohhhh okay that makes sense

[pseudo charm]

any know if + to melee skills work with warcries?

[undone mortar]

It's actually complete bullshit that it doesnt' respect cooldown but i'm sure that'll change

[royal gazelle]

lol yeah I guess I’ll take what I can get and pretty much flex into any set, I’ll try it out and if it sucks I’ll try something else but thanks for the info

[undone mortar]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

It should feel good in maps most of the time

[last patio]

is it ever worth skipping straight thru these nodes to reach another class path? 5 seems like a lot

[undone mortar]

What do you mean skipping

[atomic kindle]

does this include yourself?

[last patio]

is this saying you get the 15% reduced move speed ON TOP of the 30% from hinder?

[undone mortar]

No

[undone mortar]

No that's just saying the hinder applies 15% move speed reduction

[last patio]

yuck

ok ty

given 90% of mobs in act 3 are hasted and leap at you, any movespeed debuffs seem absolutely useless

[stark rain]

Witchunter or gemling

[still rock]

Only cause no busted determination

[undone mortar]

I think there's something wonky with armor

idk

[still rock]

in the calculation?

[undone mortar]

calcs might be wrong yeah

[stoic forum]

Has anyone tested a merc build with the rampart raptor tense crossbow?
Got it recently but I'm so far down another spec idk want to waste respec money

[undone mortar]

it doesn't feel like it does enough

or maybe mobs just hit THAT hard

[still rock]

I dont have enough to say, i just got a little just in case

and for flies

[obsidian grove]

scattershot seems to increase the cast speed of bonestorm?

[wraith imp]

How does Bleed work in Path of Exile?? Mainly, can I make a Bleed Deadeye Ranger with Rain of Arrows ???

[tiny oxide]

Question: What is a good secondary weapon for merc?

[sacred sail]

does increased shield defense work to buff the dmg of shield skills ?

[grizzled geyser]

is it worth investing in mana recoup if im stacking life recoup? having mana issues

[real jungle]

so after the initial reaction to the update, is ailment on crit really that bad now?

[undone mortar]

No

[sacred sail]

idk but if you have mana issue try to solve them don't sweat it too much, try to make your character comfortable

[wraith imp]

So I dont get it, if I break armour, do monster get more Bleed damage or No ?

[hollow swift]

How the hell do I make demon form work. This shit sucks ass

[gritty knot]

demon form will be terrible until they decide what to do with the weapons being disabled

[undone mortar]

If you break armor, the monster will take more damage from the hit that inflicts bleeding, thus increasing the magnitude of the bleed, yes.

[stoic forum]

Anyone made a act3+ merc build with this?

[wraith imp]

Thanks

[hollow swift]

Yeah it makes no sense. You lose way too much life to make the other bonuses worthwhile

[sudden axle]

can lightning arrow pierce?

[split stag]

What is the best secondary element to use if i am doing an freeze sorc build? not sure where to go from where im at

[wraith imp]

So does Bleed damage from Hits stack over each other? or only 1 application of bleed is possible

[split stag]

perhaps if you get piece support gem? not sure though

pierce**

[gritty knot]

you can offset the life loss fairly easily actually. 75% fire res and a few sources of life regen, or get the notes that reduce the effectiveness of ignites inflicted on you. the problem is that a good rolled staff is better than the bonuses of the demon form, thus making it a literal waste of ascendancy points

[sudden axle]

@split stag yeah im trying it but my eyes actually cant tell if its piercing or not because its already bouncing lol

and im old

[undone mortar]

Only one bleed

[wraith imp]

So what would be a good Ranger skill for a Bleed build? Snipe ??

[undone mortar]

Wait I lied, you can have multiple bleeds

[open hinge]

I thought all ailments in poe2 were 1-only unless you had some "+limit" modifier?

[undone mortar]

Seems to imply you can have multiple bleeds

[open hinge]

Interesting

[lyric plank]

does this mean my character dies or

[open hinge]

I know with poison, for example, there's stuff that says like "+1 instance of this poison on target", so maybe that's just talking about those situations?

In poe1, you could get multiple bleeds, but it required a notable

[gritty knot]

why don't these tooltips not mention directly the most important point - does it stack?? is there a cap to the stacks? same as ignite ffs

[wintry mulch]

essence of battle can give phys modifier right

[tawny kindle]

On skills i have only 2 spot for supports how can i increase the limit?

[dapper knot]

first unique i get and its perfect for my infernalist rageing spirits build

[lyric plank]

got thios act 1

[dapper knot]

nice! im in act 2 lvl 25 not got a single unique before this one lol

[lavish pine]

Anybody have a good build for warrior, titan later?

[dapper knot]

maxroll has a few but alot of them will get out dated pretty quick as EA progresses

[wooden horizon]

some very good class guides for stormweaver, o wai

[lavish pine]

Stormweaver Can bé viable or death After patch ?

[sly minnow]

hey can someone help me real quick..... i play fire sorcerer and i really like that solar orb and flameblast, my question is if the sup gems of solar orb also apply to the explosion of flame blast when u channel on the solar orb?

[orchid torrent]

stormweaver guides from more than 20 hours ago should be discarded tho because of the nerfs

[wooden horizon]

stormweaver class got discarded by GGG

❤️

[dapper knot]

yes they apply cause its just changeing the location of the skill

[sly minnow]

like when solar orb has 40% increased area of effect, is the explosion of flameblast also 40 increased`?

[dapper knot]

oh that i dont actualy know but should be easy to test

[orchid torrent]

I spent the first day trying classes and rerolling and build planning to find the one thing that seemed easy to build strong adn then it got insta discarded

[sly minnow]

sadly i cant test it yet, I WANT TOOO

[split stag]

lolll felt

[wooden horizon]

60 hours into the game into the garbage bin. The thing is not having any other viable option and having extremely expensive respecs.

this is the problem

[lyric plank]

they seem kinda rare

[wooden horizon]

not the goddamn balancing

[sly minnow]

i like grindy

but yeah free respec would go crazy

[wooden horizon]

if we at least could theorycraft with free respecing, I wouldn't have an issue, I'd sit with the tree open changing things around.

[sly minnow]

i sell all my stuf to respec

[last arrow]

anyone know if shockwave totems specifically only gain dmg by levels? Since it says it uses its own weapon, I am assuming this is the case.

[wooden horizon]

now I am not even using gems until someone figures a build that I know is viable and I won't waste another 100k respecing

it's impossible

[last arrow]

well + skills and i guess % wep/phys dmg

[hardy creek]

Does anyone know how charged staff works?

You need power charge but what isthat

[wet jacinth]

anyone know if the damage given to allies from sceptres such as "allies in your presence deal additional X-Y physical damage" benefits from minion damage increases from passives?

[undone mortar]

The buff itself?

It should effectively yeah

[wet jacinth]

i see

[undone mortar]

Since that adds flat damage to the minions

[wet jacinth]

so in other words those are absolutely insane mods to roll

[undone mortar]

They would probably be good yeah

[wet jacinth]

considering base SRS damage is so low those sceptres can easily triple or quadrouple their damage

[undone mortar]

Need to test it probably

[wet jacinth]

yeah

[dapper knot]

they do combine but they are seporate effects

[indigo cedar]

What're good support gems for incinierate ?

[misty salmon]

Could the Painters Servant gloves work on my sorceress build all the way through the game even though they give 9 energy shield

[dapper knot]

the minion passives just increase the base dmg of any skill with the minion passive

[dapper knot]

cast speed and fire infusion

[wet jacinth]

I see

[mental hull]

how to get mana/energy shield leech as a monk?

[wet jacinth]

that's conflicting answers though

gonna need to test this i guess

[dapper knot]

welcome to EA its all just theory

[wet jacinth]

real

[ebon sierra]

can pls someone tell me if this build is good enough for endgame and acts and if it is not nerfed yet? thanks for answer in advance

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-infernalist-leveling-guide

[primal dragon]

What is a good website for build & tree planning since there is no PoB 2 yet?

[undone mortar]

mobalytics has a tree

[mighty verge]

yeah but the interaction is what made the build good.
people have a weakened work around but its drastically worse

[primal dragon]

alr thx

[indigo cedar]

fire infusion doesn't even go on incinerate

[dapper knot]

precise build im following its pretty good so far

[reef lichen]

is it worth it to invest heavily into rarity find in endgame?

[tepid pumice]

what are my options as a blood mage now that CoF was gutted? Im in A3C do i gotta reroll?

[ebon sierra]

it wont be nerfed in recent patch?

[terse dove]

are the cast on ailment metas just dead now?

[dapper knot]

let me just toss my bones and read the future 😛

[undone mortar]

No one can tell you what will be nerfed or not

Brother

Listen to your own words

It's EA

If it feels OP, you can assume it will be nerfed

[ebon sierra]

thanks brother

[upper viper]

If you use giants blood for a quarterstaff. Can you than wield a shield/focus on the other hand ?

[dapper knot]

asll jokes aside it takes alot of things lineingin up to be truly strong so i doubt it will get any kind of hefty nerf its no stronger than some of the other one trick pony builds currently

[ebon sierra]

im asking if it is nerfed in 0.1.0d

[dapper knot]

its not currently nerfed

[ebon sierra]

i am just really disappointed cause i started playing as cast on freeze comet and it got nerfed

[lavish wedge]

guys with skills like spiral volley or snipe that doesnt state any damage type, do they just always use the damage type of your weapon? so if your weapon deals chaos damage, the skill will deal chaos damage too

[ebon sierra]

so i feel like i throwed 20 hours of my life

[still rock]

because it was clearly working unintendedly compared to just abt everything else

[dapper knot]

unfortunetly thats just how games are

[pearl sluice]

I got into maps with mine and now im crying because i wanna play a druid

[dapper knot]

as for the infernalist build it theres nothing in it that is cast on ignite so its entriely safe on that front only thing i could see doing with it would be putting something like ember fusilade on cast on ignite for a small dmg buff and passive raging spirit summoning

[proper horizon]

Mmm hi, is deadeye elehit//ts viable for all content?? Or in a bad shape rn?

[mighty verge]

I mean probably? it certainly wasnt the strongest available build but its a fair argument it should have been nerfed.

Doesnt mean the build isnt bad now though, which was the original point.

[proper horizon]

(Max investment 1 mirr)

[woven bough]

do i ditch 25% drop rate amulet for this?

i could use the spirit

[analog tendon]

Hey everyone, new player here. Just rolled into gemling merc. Anyone out there to point me in the right direction for builds?

[upper viper]

anyone tried ?

[dry pagoda]

so I took brew concoction on pathfinder... it seems weird to me that I can only pick one of them and would have to respec to try another one. thought you´d unlock all of them and they´d share a cd to be honest

[dapper knot]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/gas-grenade-gemling-legionnaire-guide give that a look

[analog tendon]

Thank you!

[primal dragon]

Why is the Mobalytics tree screen verticle like a phone? Also for Eldritch Battery, does % increases to energy shield help with mana conversion?

[surreal veldt]

if you're a minion player definitely

(Well I guess if you arent having damage problems you can keep the drop % amulet instead tbh)

[static plinth]

This chat is for PoE2

[sly minnow]

what exaclty is 0.9 ex??

i heard its regal ? but is it orb? or shard? how many?

[static plinth]

I would just give them an exalt at that point

[sly minnow]

because i wanted to trade some and they want 0.9 ex like what da hell

[primal dragon]

They put in 0.9 so they get put first when sorting for price from low to high I think.

[terse dove]

is cast on shock even worth using?

[still rock]

Regardless of the argument about the build, my original statement was abt people who are giving advice to new players as "Don't do cold damage cause it just got nerfed" when referring to a very specific interaction being nerfed in a niche meta gem trigger build that everyone copied because it was overtuned. Do you see why that would be harmful to the community? People just saying random kneejerk shit because they can't think for themselves.

[last patio]

what's the total spirit you get from campaign?

60?

[vital crow]

okay this is current helmet is think buying this for 1 exalt is worth it?

[radiant yarrow]

anyone know if concentrated effect would work on flicker strike since it's AOE tagged?

[last patio]

100 spirit? >>' lol

[sacred sail]

yeah unless I missed some

[last patio]

oh nice, so 60 from act 1 and 2 and then 40 from 3?

[sacred sail]

some from act 1, some from act 3 and the 40 left from act 3 cruel the witch

[last patio]

and is there any gear for a monk to gain more spirit (without invoker node)?

oooh ok nice

[open hinge]

What does this actually do?
I know if POE1 dodging spells was a separate thing, but in poe2 it's not - so what does this even do?

What's not already evade-able?

[sacred sail]

spells ?

[static plinth]

AoEs

[open hinge]

Nope, you can evade those

[open hinge]

AOEs?

Like slams?

[static plinth]

Yeah

Or explosions

[open hinge]

70% LESS is freakin nuts tho.

No way that's worth it

[warped ridge]

Turn it on for hit based boss and turn it off for spell based boss EZ CLap

[static plinth]

No idea

It was 50% in teasers

So clearly they thought it was too good in playtesting

[still rock]

I think it is very worth it if you can get enough eva which people are seeming to do just fine

[sacred sail]

guys did you manage to get good recovery ? it's so difficult to get enough for me

[static plinth]

You get stonks from it with the invoker node that makes evasion also act as Armour

[abstract robin]

Its really not that bad with ranger tailwind u can still hit around 70 evasion with it on

[steel moth]

Maaan fist the gods titan feels Incredible in bosses in the cruel acts

I keep practically two-shotting bosses. So dang juicy!

[north talon]

Things that are not projectiles or strikes. So Area of effect damage like slams for example

[formal night]

does inspiration help with mana tempest?

[rough kelp]

what do they mean by the "size" of the hit?

[still rock]

Who is they and how is it worded

like the full sentence

[tribal snow]

If i get this right, mind over mater keystone keeps you alive as long as you have mana right

since damage is taken from mana before life

[graceful hull]

quick Question... Do SRS minions contribute Energy to Cast on Ignite, if they ignite an enemy?

[tribal snow]

Also what is the difference between increased lightning damage and extra ligthning damage gained

[atomic kindle]

do you guys think Grim feast would work with EB? (convert ES to mana)
its not % increase so it should right?

[still rock]

MoM is commonly partnered with Eldritch Battery as well to get a higher amt of mana and thus ehp via ES scaling

[dry haven]

did my game bug? this is on my level 19 merc and i ahve this on my bar and not in my gems lol

[spiral oar]

Energy Shield recharge rate is different from Energy Shield recovery rate? I'm looking at the passive tree and there are two nodes next to each other with these slightly different terms.

[atomic kindle]

no just a problem with polish, prob had 2 different people make those nodes

[still rock]

No most likely not because all of your energy shield is converted to mana so you dont have any energy shield to recover

it doesnt convert energy shield recovery to mana recovery

[spiral oar]

@atomic kindle Ah ok! Thanks, i'll treat them as the same.

[atomic kindle]

but it doubles your ES so shouldnt it convert that to mana as well?

obv it wont regen

[tribal snow]

oooh nice

[static plinth]

What the fuck does it do lmfao

[tribal snow]

i guess recovery rate would be the delay between recharge

[last patio]

besides the 100 spirit from campaign is there any other way to get more spirit that isn't on weapon slots?

[stone ivy]

can anyone tell me if dots like ssence drain or contagion can crit?

[static plinth]

They cant

[still rock]

Recharge rate affects the rate at which energy shield recharges once the recharge begins, recovery affects any forms of recovering energy shield

[stone ivy]

that's unfortunate

[sacred sail]

got 2K hp, 10K armour in maps, 78% res except 73% cold. But I find my main issue is sustain, if I erver get surrounded I may die, any dot hurts me like hell also because of my bad recovery. Since I play slam leeching is quite not reliable but %hp regen is so low 😔 . Any advice ? I use % health on kill that entirely carry me tbh

[lunar halo]

is there anything in poe2 for shock resistance? I have an armour which gives me shock when i have all the charges and charges appear on right click

[dry haven]

summons a very large guy

[stone ivy]

so chaos is pretty useless for blood witch?

[static plinth]

Oh my god lmao

[atomic kindle]

you can get it as an affix on gear (not just scepters body armor amulet and stuff)

[static plinth]

Oh wait is that Raise Spectre?

If not, 100% bugged

[last patio]

oh ok great

[static plinth]

And fucking hilarious too

[rough kelp]

the game says that armour reduces physical damage from hits and the damage reduction is proportional to the size of the hit. If I fully break the armour then curse will the size of my hit still work on negative armour?

[dry haven]

im pretty sure its a bug lol

as this is on my poison merc

not ognna talk about how bad poison merc feels to me

[atomic kindle]

you get get negative res so i doubt you can get negative armor

[sacred sail]

is it really bad :/ ? I was interested in it or lightning railgun

[primal dragon]

For Eldritch Battery, does %increses to energy shield and es recharge rate do anything? Or does EB only affect Flat stat es

[rough kelp]

I meant on mobs

[atomic kindle]

no only the stats from your gear

[spiral oar]

@tribal snow @still rock That would make sense to me. These are two notables that made me question my thinking. It seems Soul Bloom & Rapid Recharge (part 2) are describing the same thing: time before energy shield begins to recharge.

[primal dragon]

alright ty

[static plinth]

You gotta build around him now

[dry haven]

mind you i went bow version and kinda got hard locked due to lack of dmg

[atomic kindle]

i ment on mobs aswell sorry for bad wording

[sonic blade]

Is adaptive capability still broken? I want to respec to STR on gemling

[sacred sail]

vadre rebow stanas

[dry haven]

apparently i have 3 more summons i cannot explain

[west pendant]

Eldritch Will didn't seem to give me any Life bonus either. Oddly, I noticed that the passive build planner on https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/ doesn't register it as giving bonus life either. Not sure what that's about.

[static plinth]

What are they?

[dry haven]

demon beast

[static plinth]

Also wait how do you have K'tash. Beyond isnt in the game yet is it?

[still rock]

Uhh I don't think armor goes negative, or atleast have no reasoning to think that it would

but not sure

[static plinth]

Does this count as a leak

[vague axle]

is this bow any good? im pretty new to poe

im on a lightning ranger

[static plinth]

It does with a certain warbringer/titan node i think

[primal dragon]

How many max points do we get? 122 or 123?

[dry haven]

imp

[static plinth]

Just 120 i think

[still rock]

Ah, cool. How does that work lmao

[static plinth]

Dunno

[still rock]

inverse hit scaling?

[static plinth]

I would assume so

[still rock]

wild

[primal dragon]

alr cause maxroll and mobalytics says 2 dif things

[dry haven]

and one caked up harpy

[warm kraken]

Whats your current level?

[static plinth]

GYATTTT DAYUM

[vague axle]

21

[dry haven]

none of them seem to have propper ai yet unfortunatly but its interesting

[opaque umbra]

wait are the weapon sets, shared allocation of all your points, or do you get full points for each weapon set to do a different build

[vapid gust]

How does bleed interact with crit chance?

[warm kraken]

Then yeah thats a pretty solid one for now, around 26 ish you’ll be looking to swap it, but for your level it should be pretty good

[royal hamlet]

does first modifier applies only to weapon? "gain damage as cold"

[still rock]

Bro summoned Kerrigan

[static plinth]

Can you summon more than one of them?

I wanna know if we can have a K'tash The Hate Shepherd build

[dry haven]

i had liek 6 of the big guy at one point not sure if its working right though

[vapid gust]

Im rocking a Merc since release and he's fully specced as bleed. High velocity rounds with adicional bolts and high reload speed melts everything other than proper bosses... That take like one minute in cruel act 2 atm

[warm kraken]

Idk if your on m&kb if you are press G (skill gems) and I (inventory) at the same time an can see the skill dps change it does take into account most direct dmg modifiers w/o buffs like shock and gives a good idea if its an upgrade or not

[vapid gust]

Was wondering if I should stack crit chance on top of that

[opaque umbra]

wait are the weapon sets, shared allocation of all your points, or do you get full points for each weapon set to do a different build and do i need to just refund all my points and redo them casue it wont let me refund on just my weapon set 2... ugh

[still rock]

The latter but they cant be used on travel nodes iirc

so its awkward as hell

atleast to me

[static plinth]

Dang Viper isnt on i think he'd love this

[static plinth]

Yeah its rly shitty

[opaque umbra]

so i have to refund all my points first, cause i think it defaulted to just allocated to both weapon sets

[vague axle]

thanks for that i had no idea

[pure otter]

Does this mean you can stack something like enfeeble twice?

[opaque umbra]

also wtf are travel nodes? lol

[static plinth]

No, two different curses

[static plinth]

The attribute nodes and jewel sockets

[pure otter]

Wait you can only apply one? i dont see where it says that D:

[rough kelp]

but vulnerability curse the target for armour negation wouldnt that call as negative armour? While having already fully broken their armour or does those 2 not stack

[opaque umbra]

so jsut full respec and allocated accordingly?

[obsidian adder]

Working on a DoT Blood Mage build. Have my Dark Effigy applying Freeze to targets which is working fine. Just added "Drain Aliments" support gem to Essence Drain. The way to tool tip reads, it should consume the Freeze Aliment to do more ticking DoT damage. However, it doesn't seem to be consuming Freeze. At least on the UI, Freeze is just sitting at the same Freeze % as Essence Drain deals ticking damage. Doesn't seem like Essence Drain is ticking for +35% damage. Am I missing something?

[still rock]

In PoE for the most part you can only have one debuff of the same name unless explicitly stated otherwise

[obsidian adder]

No, you can have 2 different curses, but not double of the same curse

[pure otter]

why does it not say anywhere you can only have 1 curse per target?

[obsidian adder]

It does

[opaque umbra]

can someone get into voice Chat and have me share screen and help me with the weapon set stuff por favor? 😓

[vagrant salmon]

has anyone experimented with Blasphemy mechanics? Do equipped curses receive buffs from 'increase aura effect' nodes?

[still rock]

Not sure but if I figure out I'll @ you. I have no clue how negative armor would work in the calculation tbh

[pure otter]

Where about?

[still rock]

I don't even know the normal armor formula as it is lol

[static plinth]

I think keyword Curse

Hold alt and mouse over

[wide creek]

I am trying to make my sunder build between but I am not sure how the "Consumes Fully Broken Armour on enemies to guarantee a Critical Hit" works. So like if the enemy hit has fully broken armour does it crit only on the first hit or everything with that cast including the shockwaves?

[pure otter]

ah iokay thanks

[royal hamlet]

does first modifier applies only to weapon? "gain damage as cold"

[rough kelp]

I believe the first instance of damage would consume the fully broken armour so maybe

[still rock]

no, there arent any local mods for wands or staves

feels cool saying that

makes it so simple

[dry haven]

how am i to scale dmg in demon form if i dont have a wepaon/offhand?

[wide creek]

Well then +300% crit damage boosts should be enough

[sacred sail]

is shatter a strong mecanic ?

should be easy to chill a lot

I think

[still rock]

Depends on how strong on death effects are for mobs

Im not in endgame yet

[open hinge]

This isn't a build question, but there's no "endgame questions" channel... I put in a waystone with no modifiers (White), and my map still has mods... why?

[sacred sail]

oh I thought it did damage

[still rock]

No it removes their corpse so they cannot have on death effects

like exploding or whatever

[sacred sail]

😕

👍

[still rock]

There may be other niche interactions i dont know of yet with shatter but baseline thats what it does

[subtle marsh]

Wtf?

I have 60 from 2 bosses...

[sacred sail]

put a gem in it

[topaz thunder]

Am I misremembering or was there a node in the skilltree where frozen enemies instantly unfreeze and do some shatter damage?

[subtle marsh]

Ach i see

[still rock]

Lemme search for shatter effects to see

[wild frigate]

@subtle marsh didnt they just nerf cast on freeze builds in patch

[civic night]

bloodmage on 2h mace , feels quite sustain

[subtle marsh]

idk

I want to tes how it;s working

[sacred sail]

wow it's broken

[still rock]

nah the only niche interaction would be using Frozen Vortex support

creates a vortex on shatter

[royal hamlet]

so it adds to all spells ?

[dry haven]

anyone? kinda feel like i may of made a wrong choice lol

[still rock]

Gain % as extra only works with hits, not damage over time effects, but otherwise yes, all spell hits and attack hits

or anything that hits

[royal hamlet]

opkoko

[still rock]

i dont think it has to be a spell or attack specifically

[sacred sail]

how do melee bloodmage feel ? it was one of the first thing I wanted to do

[broken hemlock]

what is the synergy you are looking at here, just curious? Blood mage is notable for having the only source of spell leech in the game, which hopefully is worthwhile after yesterdays patch, but melee leech is common and available to anyone. Life based crit and crit damage scaling?

[tranquil fractal]

Sounds cool too bad all high tier maps are just oneshots

[gusty jay]

Has anyone made a frost warrior build? I think that would be really fun but idk if it would be good or not

[still rock]

2h mace bloodmage perfect strike fire bleed would be cool

just not much ailment dot dmg scaling available

as of now

[short swan]

Are you guys able to put gems like Premidation and Murderous intent into your charged staff? It seems like I should be able to but I cant

[still rock]

murderous intent is only for skills that empower other skills

and with premed

anyone avialable for voice chat to help me with weapon set questions?

I've ignored that weapon sets exist as of now

@sacred sail @tranquil fractal thats what that build is around, u hitting the warrior tree to get all those one shot protection nodes

[still rock]

too much headache

[opaque umbra]

i think i fucked up and respecced and lost a ton of gold lol

[hollow orchid]

is this wording the same as fire damage converted to chaos? so does the ignite not scale with fire dmg anymore?

[broken hemlock]

it should still scale with fire damage

because the igniting hit is still fire

[still rock]

More specifically: the magnitude that determines the initial value of the ignite is based on the fire hit, but you wouldn't gain fire damage increases on the damage of the chaos ignite

[broken hemlock]

that

it makes me wonder whether its even a good idea, wouldnt it reduce scaling efficiency by half

[heavy sparrow]

hi guys is # to evasion rating or % increased evasion rating better?

[broken hemlock]

that said didnt blackflame on PoE 1 work in a special way

[still rock]

I would consider using it with flame wall for a build that scales chaos dmg

thats about all i can think of

[broken hemlock]

I was right

[primal dragon]

For Alternating Current, how long does the mana regen rate buff last? Want to know If its worth getting endless circuit to help

[broken hemlock]

Blackflame in PoE 1 is a special case where the chaos damage still scales with fire damage, not chaos damage

its just the enemy takes it as chaos, its not conversion

[sacred sail]

Probably flat as you cant get any of it on the tree

[still rock]

Oh weird, wonder how it works here

[hollow orchid]

well i guess i will test it out

[broken hemlock]

id guess it may be the same in PoE 2 or else it would seem that it would just have half as effective scaling

[still rock]

That's a hard one to test

[hollow orchid]

also does the 50% reduced ignite duration mean, the ignite does the same amout of dmg in half of the time, or is the dmg half?

[obsidian bay]

lets you passive block floor aoe/slams that you couldn't normally

[rare kite]

Any Stormweaver build?

[tiny chasm]

I’m playing selfmade trielement crit stormweaver. Using the node to stack damage based in elemental afflictions and spawning storms everywhere.

[vivid laurel]

what a odd and usless helm

[timid aurora]

i heard thedre is a OP Warriro shout build going around anyone got link?

[primal dragon]

Im going to build one based on MoM, CI, EB focused on lightning dmg w/force of will ascendency w/touch the arcana for arcane surge stuff

[rare kite]

Have a guide?

[worn junco]

Should i use the left chest ? Idk what the legendary affects do

[rare kite]

have a guide?

[sonic blade]

Is anyone playing minion gemling?

[primal dragon]

Not yet, still building

[still rock]

If it works similar to PoE, the magnitude of the hit determines the dps of the ailment, not a total dmg value divided by the duration, so when you reduce the duration the dps stays the same but you just lose seconds the debuff is active, effectively doing less overall "total" damage. But there is also a modifier called "Ignite deals damage x% faster", this modifier does increase your dps and lower the duration in tandem

[rare kite]

Oh, ok man thanks 🙂

[fossil solstice]

is there any place for trading on this disc?

[dusty gyro]

So, assuming you go with Infernalist's Reserve 25% of your life for Life/6 Spirit and are doing Eldritch Battery + Mind Over Matter; is it better to get +6% Max Life or +3% Max Life, reserve another 25% of your life, and get Max Life/6 to Mana?

[acoustic cape]

ive made an offer on every single radient grief lace hood on the website for the last 5 hours overpaying by 4 ex but no one responds to me what is going on
was i shadow banned or something like im going insane trying to get this

[cobalt musk]

first time trading in poe? this is normal

[velvet blade]

Are Decaying Hex Support and Impending Doom Support supposed to not work with Blasphemy or is this a bug?

[final fiber]

Is there an alternative for sorc? That I can move fom my CoF comet build that’s decent atm?

[iron pollen]

Is Sorc dead now? or still useable

[final fiber]

Geez i hope not lol

[iron pollen]

You hope its not dead or you hope its not still useable lol

[final fiber]

I hope it’s not dead :p

Cuz it’s allz i got

[iron pollen]

xD

dw its all i got too

[final fiber]

T_T

[still rock]

Decaying Hex cares about application of the curse and Blasphemy is always on so there is never an application to apply the dot, Impending Doom cares about the expiration of the curse and Blasphemy is always on so there is never an expiration to trigger the damage

[final fiber]

Been looking thru youtue for builds but so far nadda, i got a limited amount of gold so i dont wanna risk respeccing then it’s just another dud

[compact wren]

Is fire sorc hot garbage? I just respecced but Fireball seems to be my only spell that's doing visible damage

[wild abyss]

what's the best ranger build, and is there a guide

[velvet blade]

That was my initial thought but both of those supports work with curses supported by Cursed Ground Support and the doom blast is triggered when monsters walk out of the cursed ground AoE

[still rock]

Cursed Ground support has an application and an expiration

[gusty cargo]

i levelled with Ember Fusillad with the 3 projectiles at once support gem

[gilded shoal]

Are spirit gem support gems not meant to be slotted into demon form? they dont trigger and dont reduce spirit

[cobalt musk]

what did they do to sorc. I dont recall reading any changes to the asc

[delicate fern]

Recently = 4 seconds. Unless they changed it from poe 1

[teal chasm]

Hey guys, new to Poe and finding creators/streamers that are legit. Can some one tell me if Woolie is legit and if he’s good to follow? He’s got a Warrior setup with warbringer.

[still rock]

Blasphemy is just considered as always on, it doesn't expire or apply. Theyre either in the area of it or they aren't

[final fiber]

They murderized CoF so the main builds got bricked

[prisma parrot]

one thing I don't get I wonder if anyone can help, when it comes to minions, if i want to increase the fire damage of the minions or ignite damage do i get passive skills that increase my fire damage or is minion damage the only stat that affects the fire damage of minions?

[cobalt musk]

if you want melee you follow cArn_

[iron pollen]

Just a nurf came in for freeze on cast comet

big one

[cobalt musk]

there are probably good builds to sorc that aren't busted like CoF was

doesn't mean the asc is dead

[final fiber]

Got any advice? Im looking for a good build T_T

[distant dome]

anyone know how to fix this super annoying bug? all my minions keep despawning fo no reason, says I don't have enough spirit. If change my spirit reservation they respawn.

[tiny chasm]

Negative, at this time just building as I go right now.

[cobalt musk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQWfdGwp8NQ

[final fiber]

But that says titan on it T_T am i getting mocked?

[rare kite]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/caeye0hz i see this on chat, maybe thats a good build?

[grizzled geyser]

are there hidden charge effects, for example can i consume them with arc for a bonus effect? or does it have to say it consumes them in the spell

[cobalt musk]

oh wrong person

[teal chasm]

Was that for me?

[cobalt musk]

yes

[cobalt musk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3CIAh3AB2M&pp=ygUQc3Rvcm13ZWF2ZXIgcG9lMg%3D%3D

[velvet blade]

Would using hex blast count as an "expiration" of a curse?

[cobalt musk]

guess you could look at captainbait9

[wanton copper]

Where can I find out why are some monsters harder to shock? How do I ahieve easier shocks?

[cobalt musk]

isnt shock based on the ddamage of the hit

[still rock]

Good question, try it

I dont really know tbh lol

[final fiber]

Oof the ammy alone on that build is like 60ex O_O

[still rock]

According to some Googling it does but still test it

Cause i don't trust google

lol

I think blasphemy hexblast is probably smoother and better tho

unless youre dead set on scaling max mana for damage

[formal night]

is this buged?

[tired citrus]

which one is better ? i feel like not having the +lvls in skills is huge :/

[still rock]

+4

easily

[last patio]

where do you get delirium for the delirium tab in poe2?

[tired citrus]

in maps after you finish campaign

[timid aurora]

i feel merc ascendenies can use some buffs for the talents

seems meh compared to dead eye

and even invoker

[last patio]

oh ok great ty

guess i'll get a delirium tab then :P

[abstract mountain]

aside from firewall, are there any non-gear options for added flat added damage to a projectile attack?

[silk juniper]

I really wish there was an easy way to test dmg

oh wait I can go to an act boss and see my dmg there

[summer hill]

is it possible to make bonestorm a fire damaging spell? i tried to put fire infusion gem but because it is a spell and not an attack i cant? what happens if i slot in eternal flame or ignition?

[high rivet]

does spark or arc do more damage with mana stacking?

[hushed violet]

How do I get a rage bar as a non warrior?

[velvet blade]

Sadly it doesn't work after testing which doesn't really make sense unless support gems only apply to meta gems and not skill gems inside meta gems.

I've been trying to make blasphemy hexblast work but am constantly running into roadblocks like hexblast not consuming multiple curses and now these supports just don't work with it :\

Probably going to try playing something different

[silk juniper]

you can use avatar of fire to convert it to fire

but you cant convert it any other way

you can make the phys contribute to ignite with infernalist

[dusty gyro]

Aight. Thinking through the "is it better to reserve life down to 50% for mana" problem for infernalist.

Lets assume +8% Maximum Life off your Amulet, 9% off your tree. +3% is possible, but far. Otoh, its next to the +25 Strength node so...

Anyways.

Amulet can offer +10% Maximum Mana. You can get a lot more off rings, but that's a steep price, so let's not.

Each point of Life, assuming +15% from tree and +8% from equipment and 75% reservation, is worth 0.92 Life. Not aweful.

Adding the reserve 25% life for more mana node seems to work out to... 0.81 (Life+Mana) per 1 Life.

Assuming equivalentish bonuses, it tends towards about that difference in no mana reservation's favor.

I think i am reaching the conclusion that it is not worth it as a defensive choice, even with mind over matter

[forest spoke]

Does Hexblast do more damage if you have multiple curses applied?

[dusty gyro]

No

Only detonates 1 curse

[forest spoke]

Really? The video of it in game says it detonates all of them

I was just wondering if that affect the damage of it

[velvet blade]

Yeah, been trying to play this and it doesn't work. They recently said they reworded the skill to say it only detonates one

[rapid wadi]

little confused. poe2db plague barer says it stores "poison" damage but its listed as chaos and deals "physical" whats going on here lol

[forest spoke]

Massive rip, thank you tho

[velvet blade]

Woah, I just watched the video. Yeah that's wild. It explicitly says multiple curses work.

[silk juniper]

you can use unleash with hexblast to detonate multiple no?

[hoary ingot]

Chronomancer time stop buff when

[primal dragon]

I got the skill tree im thinking of done for a lightning sorc stormweaver. It's a wip from a noob. Would appreciate feedback to make it better. Would like to know if there are better ways to increase Energy Shield that would affect Eldritch Battery. https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/73a9a23a-6534-493c-9eda-f34630de0319/builds/82d588be-2105-4e50-b824-6d495aa1cfec

[forest spoke]

Yeah I was trying to use Vulnerability + Despair to do more damage. I even respec-ed half my tree just now to do it

[velvet blade]

It would just unleach the skill but you would still only be detonating one curse at a time

[sterile stone]

if it has the curse to remove sure

[velvet blade]

Same boat brother. I changed up my entire build to try this the day before they clarified "only detonates one curse"

[opal yoke]

Funny i went through the same thing. And the fact that uncut spirit gems are so rare it pissed me off that blasphemy didnt work with decaying hex/doom. now im just using skele snipers with poison dmg + despair/contagion/essence drain 🥺

[wanton copper]

Can some one tell me wehere do we annoint items?

[velvet blade]

Yeah, super unfortunate and it doesn't seem like it would be really over powered. Just a nice bonus

[opal yoke]

Yeah it makes it a bit easier. I dont really like the headache of having to set up so many skills just to get the damage rolling. Would’ve been super fun

[twilit cairn]

Can Totem proc this node for warrior ??

[velvet blade]

It's a fairly fun playstyle although going a mid-range caster feels a bit dangerous at times. Hard to scale damage though.

[tawny flare]

What is a good single target skill for bow, I want to try and go gas arrow+flame wall for bigger mobs. Any ideas on what’s good to pair with that

[orchid torrent]

is comet ever really usable in your standard rotation? it feels like such a huge cast time to ever be usable (and it's too nerfed to put it on cast on freeze)

[opal yoke]

Yeah my build is all over the place at the moment. I went with sorc but im really speced into all of the witch’s skills lol. So im a chronomancer with 10 minions 🤣

[velvet blade]

za worldu with friends lol

[vital crow]

for monk is it worth buying and swapping this?

[atomic halo]

you use. totems are proxies, they are not you.

[opal yoke]

I have to find a way to capitalize on the skill instacoolown from chrono lol

[atomic halo]

right looks terrible

why would you buy that

[opal yoke]

Just made it to chaos mode act 1

[atomic halo]

right side has spirit and nothing else

left has life and res

you pay for a downgrade, sidegrade at best

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

sort by life, adjust for attribute reqs, etc.

1 million times better

[vital crow]

was going off of build guide

need high evasion and ES actually

[atomic halo]

the guide says life and res dont matter?

[atomic halo]

ok, then set that in the filters

[vital crow]

this looks good i guess

[atomic halo]

and i only set spirit bc ur pic showed it, maybe u dont even need spirit

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

[vital crow]

requires lvl 65 i need a max of 43 sadly

[atomic halo]

do u need the spirit

[pearl sluice]

Does raging spirit damage scale with weapon damage? If I’m using that should I be holding a quarter staff or something instead of a staff or wand?

[still rock]

Is this still true? Totems inherit your offensive stats now

[atomic halo]

totems always inherited your offensive stats, and they were never you.

as far as we're aware, they're exactly like they were in poe1

[still rock]

Gotcha

I was under the assumption that they inherit more stats than they did in PoE 1 under my impression, but you're probably also right in them not being You because proxy

[dapper cedar]

Does anyone know how Heart of the Storm interacts with Eldritch Battery?

[timid aurora]

Whats the verdict Witchhunter or Gemmling for Merc?

[still rock]

Hmm idk I'm getting different answers considering PoE 1, e.g.

Might be more contextual

[atomic halo]

my understanding is that such examples are exceptions to the rule

[dusty gyro]

Question: if you increase the limit of Offerings using Abundance, does the same offering stack?

[atomic halo]

also, i feel the that the fact they specified "you use" instead of otherwise indicates that they had totems in mind and wanted to cut them out, but could of course be wrong

[still rock]

Okay actually this is the best explanation I've read

So if it affects the stats of the skill used then it seems safe to assume that they inherit the stats regardless of it saying You or not

is my reading of it atleast

[atomic halo]

still, i guess we cannot be entirely sure

[still rock]

Its just more complicated lol

[atomic halo]

but i would bet 85%+ that my reading is correct for this scenario

[still rock]

assuming its exactly the same

[atomic halo]

yeah

confusingly, they also sometimes say "you use yourself" instead of "you use"

[still rock]

Well that example specifically mentions Slam Skills

[calm wraith]

how much resistance penetration is too much

[still rock]

So if its adding aftershock to a slam skill you use then the totem by proxy would receive it because theyre using the same skill?

[atomic halo]

if it's more than expected enemy resistances

[thick pecan]

Does conc effect do anything for a skill like shock burst rounds?

[atomic halo]

but ur not using it

why on earth would they say "you use" if it works when it's not u

[still rock]

But the totem uses your skill that is affected by that statline

[atomic halo]

i dont think this discussion is going anywhere at this point

[still rock]

true

probably easy enough to test anyways

[atomic halo]

oh yeah

[wheat wyvern]

If cold spells are nerfed, will blood mage get buffed?

[bold hollow]

I'm using Crossbow with skills that load 1 (2 with Double Barrel support) bolts. I'm not benefitting much from attack speed right? I just probably rush into crossbow reload speed?

[atomic halo]

it did get buffed with the buff to life leech

[brazen verge]

guys I have a dilemma as a merc Im lvl 28 and not sure if I should go for the fire mini-tree first or for regen/bleed branches? is there any advantage of fire vs bleed?

[wheat wyvern]

I wonder what would be the viable option then

[teal sluice]

if i stack shock magnitude and all can shock go over 50%?

[atomic halo]

i wonder as well

[atomic halo]

depends on what skills ur using/plan to use

if they convert to fire, fire, if they dont, bleed

[brazen verge]

I mean thats the general question. is there any benefit to one over the other im a new player so maybe there are some meta things related to it?

[velvet plank]

is mana on kill not a thing anymore?

cant find it on poe trade?

[atomic halo]

i think fire is probably easier to go for, with exploside grenades and whatnot

i havent seen many pure phys bleed merc builds

[atomic halo]

there's % mana on kill on sapphire jewels

and soul core of zalatl to martial weapons

[wheat wyvern]

Venom Draught of Stone: Grants 25% increased Stun Threshold.
Venom Draught of the Veil: Gain 30% increased Elemental Ailment Threshold
Venom Draught of Clarity: Gain 25% increased Mana Regeneration Rate

What to pick as bloodmage?

[brazen verge]

@atomic halo one question, do you know how many skill points should I plan for for the standard playthrough? is there any level cap or something? and for the hardcore mode if you'd be so kind

[graceful hull]

Can someone help me out with info on Penetration stat + Resistance Lowering effects like Curse/Exposure

is this Pen stat too high? is it wasted given frequent exposure being applied and/or Curse

[timid aurora]

How does he have 0 mana? This is a crazy build lmao,
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2324771312
Just spams shout and everything dies

[atomic halo]

0 mana = blood magic probably

[atomic halo]

level cap is 100, you get 123 skill pts when factoring in quests.

[timid aurora]

were is taht node

[atomic halo]

it's a keystone on the passive tree, use the search function

[brazen verge]

thank you!

[timid aurora]

thx

[atomic halo]

and hardcore doesnt change anything

[vital flare]

Does anyone know if Ancestral Bond works with the +1 addtional totem passives? or not

[brazen verge]

oh, one more question. whats the max achievable (but within realms of casual play) crit chance on weapons (specifically crossbows if that matters) in late game?

[atomic halo]

100%

but it will be difficult

[graceful stag]

I think they mean base crit

[brazen verge]

soo getting like 50% should be fairly easily doable right? i mean pure weapon stat

[atomic halo]

base crit? lemme check but not high

[graceful stag]

No way u can get base 50%

Ik some bows are 11% before mods

[brazen verge]

i mean weapon base + weapon affix, but without unrealistic number of rolls

[atomic halo]

currently the crossbow with the highest base crit on trade is exactly 10%

[brazen verge]

but were talking white stats, no blue bonuses/affixes, correct? i didnt know there is trade im looking into it (the web page)

[atomic halo]

pathofexile.com/trade2

[dry haven]

is demon form disabling weapons a bug? NGL kinda makes it a weak skill IMO as you can get better wands/focus that dosent kill you

[atomic halo]

im looking on trade, it seems literally every crossbow is 5% base crit

[velvet blade]

Just a head's up after testing. Extraction Support (25% added chaos damage but skill costs 10% of your life) does not seem to work with chaos innoculation.

[atomic halo]

also i keep getting ratelimited which is so annoying

[spark silo]

How is leech after the patch? I was thinking about speccing into it on my merc but want to make sure it isn't ass first

[dry haven]

why would it work with CI? its drain not chaos dmg

[brazen verge]

thanks youve been super helpful ❤️

im trying to figure out where is the sorting

😄

[vital flare]

Anyone know about t his?

[velvet blade]

Because draining 10% of your life would leave you with 0.9 life which can easily be mitigated with flat regen.

[atomic halo]

you click the stat on the item and it sorts

[brazen verge]

thx

wow its great

[atomic halo]

dont click too fast or you get ratelimited because each click counts as its own search

[dry haven]

POE has a min 1 dmg on skill use allways has to prevent things like that lol

[atomic halo]

are there?

[brazen verge]

so when I check for any (offline i guess) i get max total value of +39%

[atomic halo]

thats crit damage bonus not crit chance

[brazen verge]

so with passive tree bonuses I can get like 75% or something alltogether

[velvet blade]

Then it should kill you if you have CI but it doesn't. It just doesn't work.

[brazen verge]

ah shucks

[atomic halo]

yeah crit damage bonus is, as it says, the extra damage you deal when you do crit

[brazen verge]

yep 10%

[spark silo]

Most player effects that remove life automatically deactivate at 1hp

[brazen verge]

as you said my bad

[atomic halo]

its exactly 10% bc t1 crit chance top roll is exactly 5%

[brazen verge]

so I figure the crit chance branch/mini-tree (whatever you call it) is rather pointless, nice save

[proper pagoda]

is there no way to purposefully get lower level gems in ssf?

[velvet blade]

Go back to early areas and farm for them I suppose

[spark silo]

Farm lower level areas? but idk for sure if gem drop level is tied to the area level or player level

[proper pagoda]

yeah, its just rough for spirit gems, quite a rare drop

[spark silo]

ah

farm bosses probably

[ashen wing]

Hi. How change ascendancy?

[spark silo]

can't yet

I want to ask again if anyone has experience with leech since the patch, before I spend the gold to respec lol

[neon kindle]

I'm only in A3, but it went from doing actually nothing to giving me a little health back, fwiw

[spark silo]

Thanks

[neon kindle]

like, I have a unique that disables regeneration (so it's easy to tell if leech is working) -- prepatch with the 6% leech gem my main attack didn't restore any health

(all-phys warrior)

[spark silo]

Hmm

Would you say it's worth spending 15-20 passive points and a support gem slot on?

[neon kindle]

depends on if you're dying too much or not
