like 20% increased physical damage in a weapon

#

is it better to have that or a numer (example) 30+

#

30+ what

pure fox
#

in physical damage

sonic peak
#

so 'Adds 30 Physical Damage' mod?

#

aka added dmg?

last patio
#

am I tripping or can you not search for quarterstaffs in poe 2 trade?

sonic peak
#

...if yes, you meant added phys dmg

#

in general % is better in weapons

#

you can't roll % on armor, so you'll want the added phys

#

if you meant phys gem lvl, it depend a lot on the gem

#

if you meant some unique effect, idk, link the unique

unless you want a base that deals cold dmg

ok, doesn't seem like there's a filter for that specifically

I doubt there's more than 2, if any

Is this worth a lot, because I can't find a cold equivalent that's nearly as nice X_O

Is the Overwhelm node (and others like it) generally a trap? Intuition says the loss in attack speed wayyyy overrides the increased damage.
(For context, Overwhelm is 5% Reduced Attack Speed, 20% increased Stun buildup, 40% increased damage with 2h Weapons. Also for context, I'm wielding a crossbow, in case it matters)

So I'm kinda of confused on something about the weapon passive skill sets....maybe someone can clarify. I have 2 passive skill points right now, 2 for weapon set 1 and 2 for weapon set 2. If I try to use all 4 of the weapon set 1/2 it takes my 2 passive also...but I can use 1 of the passive and then the 4 weapon set ones and it only takes 1 of my passive instead of 2...wtf?

#

Like if I just use the 4 weapon set passives I have right now, it will eat both of my passives I have...but if I spend 1 first then I can still use the 4 weapon set ones...so where does that 2nd passive go if I use the 4 weapon set points while having 2 passive points...it's just gone?!??!

in the skill tree how do you combine multiple keywords

I know I dont know where I messed up

Lightning warp shocks almost all the time for example

well lightning warp has shocked ground so thats a given

Maybe I should invest on the stormweaver ascendancy "all damage form hits contributes to shock chance" idk

unique snow

do you even deal non lightning dmg with your ball lightning?

charred onyx
unique snow

that node does nothing then

charred onyx

So this node can help^if I do lets say cold damage

it just means that non lightning dmg can also contribute to shocks

yeah, I just wanted to have more chances to shock one way or another

can you use raging spirits with non-fire spells and minions? it seems like your only option is the fire ones because of it

ancient osprey

idk if anyone knows the answer or not but is it intended that when converting ES to Mana with Eldritch Battery that ES from sources other then the gear itself dont get converted? examples of this is i was thinking of running evasion ES gear so i could take the nodes on the tree that give both but when taking any ES nodes on the skill tree my mana does not increase. this also happens with atziris disdain unique hel which converts % health to ES when paired with Eldritch Battery it gives you ES and does not increase mana

jagged pawn
# brisk hemlock Oh what the heck, so it's a skill within a skill.

Yes. The "Cast on [trigger]" spirit gems have sockets. You socket the active skills you want to trigger into those sockets. The spirit cost to activate this varies with the number of socketed skills, and the skills don't trigger with every occurrence of the trigger. Read the tooltip for specific info.

spring temple
#

evasion usually has diminishing returns? especially if you're looking at evasion on your helm/gloves/boots vs your body armor

#

i'd definitely focus on evasion for the body armor since it can get so much

last patio
#

glad to know. at what point does it have diminishing returns? I'm also going to be using wind dance

#

or whichever dance builds ES based on evasion rating

spring temple
#

you can toggle wind dance on and off and see how much it changes your actual % chance to evade to get an idea

last patio
#

I'm trying to make a chronomonk, took all the % max ES starter nodes, so I'll have double ES

i wouldn't bend over backwards to get 3 evasion mods on a helmet or something when i could just get 100 life or whatever

last patio
#

or i'm about to take, have 50 skill points to blow X_X

#

Ok

#

I have no experience so I have no idea how much life I even want to focus on with this life recoup plan lol

#

like what if I get all this ES and I get 1 shot when I take a hit ^^'

spring temple
#

you won't if you're ES

#

but what will happen is you'll take all your ES as damage, recoup will do nothing because you haven't lost life yet, and then you'll be kind of stuck around half "health"

last patio
#

Actually this gear won't really matter when I'm high enough level to do maps where you can be 1 shot with any stats

spring temple
#

so it'll be a little dodgy

#

hybrid monk can avoid getting oneshot in maps

#

evasion/ES monk with ghost step is quite durable

primal zodiac
#

what do u think about that monk invoker for bows

spring temple
#

espcially if you have room for wind dancer

jagged pawn
#

I don't think evasion has "diminishing returns" exactly because chance to evade is a function of attack accuracy.

round quartz
#

Maybe someone have good writen guide for SRS?

hexed arrow
#

just double checking, with lifetap support gem, itll just stop using the skill if you hit too low hp right? vs killing you

severe spruce
#

Aside from "Area Attacks" do grenade explosions also count as "hits" and can they crit?

spring temple
#

yes, the life will be a "cost" you can't pay

Returns will diminish with game progress if you can't stack evasion sufficiently high for late game content

im thinking about making my monk change for bow and for poison skills

icy dome

does "dashing" count as "moving" or as "teleporting" for the purposes of this skill

ok glad to know. Just wasn't sure with the ghost dancer relying on evasion. ty

#

really appreciate the input ^^

spring temple
#

my monk runs ghost step + wind dancer and as long as i keep my charges up and don't just try to facetank, i feel very durable

#

sometimes you gotta run out of there even if your health is high just because you might have run out of charges though

my gut feeling is if i notice a wind gale then i'm probably low on charges

not sure how savy you are with nodes yet but this is what I'm about to spec. Doing shattering palm (with blind support) + herald of ice + hypothermia with double curse area (node that gives free hinder) and node that gives 30% dmg vs hindered enemies

When I log back in im deleting the warrior just gonna stick with merc

I really kinda wanna see if cast on freeze is still viable, you get a LOT of freezes with this build and then you have this node:

oh right! CoC would fit perfectly

it'll cost you more nodes that you don't look like you have the points for yet, but it's enough to get triggers semi-frequently for the damage bonus

like boots or rings

actually that would drain the living shit out of my mana probably, I remember that curse being expensive as a mage

hypothermia ends up being kind of a waste because you ignore resists on frozen enemies already

i still used it for single target cus it helps me get that first freeze better

but sometimes i don't need it

is there a way to increase the amount of curses you can afflict to the same enemy beyond 1?

"While dual wielding both weapons hit with 30% less dmg", does that mean if I dual wield two equally good maces they both contribute to one bleed or does each weapon calc their own bleed dmg seperately, applying only the better one? Aka does it count as one hit or two hits?

spring temple
#

sounds like 2 hits

silent matrix

because the tooltip is very confusing, it doesnt seem to take the dual wield into account. "average dmg per use" goes down when I equip second mace

there's not really a good way to combine 2 weapon hits into one

how do unarmed attacks scale? it says it doesnt scale with equipped weapon, but when i toss a random quarterstaff on with phys / cold damage, i see the cold damage go up, but the phys barely moves. so the weapon is doing something, but its like not adding the phys damage or something?

it might be giving your palm more skill levels (so more flat cold dmg) but then idk if it actually applies when you attack

so it cant be used on them

#

but i cant use it on skeletons aswell

livid vine
#

Can you use both of these?

hexed arrow

it shouldnt have anything that scales unless the cold damage is being factored in

do the unarmed attacks take the elemental damage but not the phys or something

do any of your persistent skills turn off because you removed the staff?

i don't think it'll use the flat dmg of the staff but

it's a new game so who knows

livid vine
spring temple

maybe slap on a different palm skill (hand of chayula) and see if that one gains cold dmg when you equip your staff

livid vine

Guess ill have to test it sometime

if it gains chaos instead then there's some "i have a staff equipped" bonus you're getting

Does anyone have an opinion on if 'Electrocute' is worth using for an Invoker Monk? Currently I'm using 'Combat Frenzy' and 'Resonance' to build power charges off of Freeze and Electrocute. I have Electrocute on Charged Staff, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm having a hard time generating Power Charges against bosses

spring temple
#

when you say it doesn't seem to be working, do you mean that you can't electrocute/freeze frequently?

vestal storm
#

how much would this be worth?

solemn island
#

Is behead worth it? how long do the buffs from elites last that you steal?

spring temple
#

if your charges fall off and you lose the charged staff buff, you could be a little stuck anyways though

cursive shoal
#

Against white mobs I seem to be procc'ing Freeze consistently (usually after Shattering Palm), but I can never proc Electrocute

spring temple
#

oh uh

#

you might have a support that prevents ailments

#

elemental focus or something?

#

also the electrocute will only be based on the small bonus damage the charged staff shockwave does

#

so it's not gonna be nearly as strong as your freeze strength

cursive shoal
#

Is it possible that Electrocute doesn't work with Charged Staff? I imagine only the projectiles from the staff would be contributing to Electrocute build up?

I'll double check I don't have that support, but I do seem to be getting freeze procs off of shattering palm. But very rarely from tempest fury or storm wave by itself it seems

round saddle
#

If a mob is inflicted with a stun of some sorts. Subsequent stuns are penalised in how fast they build up

#

It's indicated by the mobs stun bar being orange

spring temple
#

double check the charged staff advanced tooltip and see if there's a "Cannot inflict Electrocute buildup" or something snuck in there

round saddle
#

So after freezing, you'll have a hard time electrocuting

spring temple
#

that does happen sometimes to skills where it doesn't really make sense

#

beta game and all

#

but yeah probably more likely that your freeze is like 20x stronger and then locks out your electrocute

solemn island
#

i didn't think freezing would effect ignite or shock

round saddle
#

It doesn't affect ignite or shock since they're not stuns

solemn island
#

i thought freezing was it's own thing in that regard, similar to stunning

Ye charge staff can boots attack speed too but I don’t see it in description

what Demagonz is saying makes sense

but also i've never run both on a build to see if they lock each other out

#

so what Zday is saying also makes sense

#

maybe manually verify to see if electrocute moves at all

cursive shoal
#

Cool, thanks for the info guys. I'll do some more testing and see if it's worth dropping Electrocute

spring temple
#

or put "cannot cause freeze buildup" on a skill and double check that you electrocute at all

half flame
#

I feel like just focus on freeze, that ez to proc

solemn island
#

i mean, i've seen tooltips on load screens about freezing and stunning both having "cooldowns" after being proc'd

#

but nothing about ignite nor shock

spring temple
#

ignite has a cooldown if you just consumed it

#

if they're on burning ground or something then they won't get re-ignited immediately

round saddle

ah, ok

Not hard cooldowns but soft ones in the sense they become significantly harder to build

the upside is that you don't need to watch a 51 minute video to figure out how it works.

This is a re-upload of a video I briefly put up two weeks ago.

There was no way to fix that problem without redoing parts of the video. Due to a combinatio...

Hey guys, if I have Mind over Matter (All Damage is taken from Mana before Life), how does it interact with the other mana damage node (Damage from Mana - 4% of Damage is taken from Mana before Life)?

mortal cloak
#

Can someone explain to me how this affix works compared to straight elemental damage boost?

last patio
#

gotcha tyty :)

spring temple
mortal cloak
#

Gotcha but it doesn't have anything to do with the elemental bonuses on your weapon?

lyric plank
#

"Weapon elemental damage"

spring temple
#

nope as long as you’re dealing elemental damage with a weapon skill

mortal cloak
spring temple
#

possibly doesnt work on palms?

#

not sure on that one

barren jetty
#

is there a specific way I should progress in atlas? Because I cant activate the towers. Or just do somne random stuff there?

lyric plank
#

if you have 100 elemental damage on your weapon and you have this on your weapon now has 125 ele damage

mortal cloak
spring temple
#

yeah it’s more there to exclude spells

mortal cloak
#

Ok cool thanks

hushed viper
#

Excuse me, why is this not working?

mortal cloak
#

I'm so excited to get through cruel and see if my build gets totally smashed in maps or not lol

spring temple
#

you need to socket something in it

mortal cloak
#

I haven't looked anything up just tried to clarify things on here as I go so my build is totally my own hehe

spring temple
#

cast on freeze needs a spell that you’re trying to trigger

mossy turret
#

I'm looking at Conduit in the Passive Tree. - What classes would be supported by that? My partner is a Merc and I don't feel he'd get much value out of me taking that. - What would benefit more?

hushed viper
#

ahhh. I just panicked for a bit, wondering why it says not enough spirit

round saddle
spring temple
#

oh yeah buggy tooltip

mortal cloak
#

@spring templeHey I have a question for you maybe you can help me out...so far I haven't found a good solution to this problem in my build

round saddle
#

Which... Should be all attacks as far as I'm aware

spring temple
#

you may need to remove and re equip the gem

#

concoctions are unarmed

#

palms may also be?

#

those are confusing cus they still want you to have a quarterstaff

mortal cloak
#

@spring templeI originally was a shotgunner but grenades just outscaled shotgun so I switched up

#

I am mainly a grenadier now but I am dual xbow and I use frag shot for culling

#

It still does reasonably decent dmg but the big issue is I don't have a freeze in the build for frag to shatter and get the big aoe+multiplier

round saddle
#

I mean there's no real reason to use frag rounds here

mortal cloak
#

I want to

native burrow
#

Warriors inventory slot passive is the worst 😂 pack horse build

round saddle
#

As a pure grenade setup

mortal cloak
#

that's why

spring temple
#

do you need all those grenade types? glacial bolt is great for freezing

languid kestrel
#

hey isnt it good for any caster to go archmage since you get extra bonus damage regardless?

round saddle
#

Drop voltaic grenade for glacial bolt then yeah

spring temple
#

if you don’t want to drop a skill you can buy an unset ring

mortal cloak
#

I can add more skills still but I don't like the ammo change stuff to combo with frag

sleek nexus
#

can you take skills off build

mortal cloak
#

it adds too much to the point it's not worth using over the nades

round saddle
spring temple
#

ahh yeah that can be rough

#

freeze with weapon 1

mortal cloak
#

I'm trying to find a freeze I can add into the build WITHOUT changing ammo type

spring temple
#

frag with weapon 2?

mortal cloak
#

I'm dual xbows lol

spring temple
#

or vice versa

round saddle
#

Frag rounds can't freeze

spring temple
#

you can load them with different rounds at the same time right

round saddle
#

And good luck getting nades to freeze when they primarily convert to fire

mortal cloak
#

Nah gotta load then attack

#

And it's too clunky to load freeze bolts and attack till freeze then load frag bolts and shatter, might as well just grenade

little rock
#

any shield charge for mobility enjoyers in the chat? PES_MmmSip

night pebble
#

So is it true that the best warrior builds all use a two handed weapon + shield? Is there no meta for dual wielding 2 handed weapons?

mortal cloak
#

and yea all my grenades I use them all

#

and I keep them all on cooldown lmao

#

gas grenade armor shreds

#

fire grenade eats the armor shred for bonus dmg

#

lightning grenade shocks obv which boosts dmg and cc

#

flash grenade does good dmg and blinds

spring temple
#

hmm i cant test right now, my plane is about to take off

#

but i thought you could equip one xbow, load ammo, swap, load different ammo, then shoot them individually without reload

mortal cloak
#

Frag Shot works in this build for culling strike regardless but it'd be nice if it would shatter mobs cuz it does goooood dmg comparable to nades when it shatters

spring temple
#

not sure

mortal cloak
#

If so uhhhh that's big butttt one sec lemme see....i dont think you can but

spring temple
#

you could also try cold infusion to see if a grenade will freeze?

#

maybe add glaciation

mortal cloak
spring temple
#

okay plane go fly afk 3 hours

mortal cloak
#

have fun!

#

Ohhhhh shit idk if he was correct but I wonder if being dual xbow I can load each one with separate ammo type 😮

round saddle
mortal cloak
#

?!?!?!?!?!

round saddle
#

You wouldn't be saving and time doing this

#

You'd just be trading 1 delay for another delay

#

Of similar magnitude

mortal cloak
#

Yea I keep trying to make a freeze work in this build and it just won't happen sadly

#

D=

round saddle
#

I personally don't see a problem with switching bolts

#

The delay really isn't that long

mortal cloak
#

Because the bolt switch doesn't mean auto freeze

round saddle
#

You freeze very quickly with supports

mortal cloak
#

It's switch to freeze bolts, shoot multiple times, maybe freeze some maybe not, switch back to frag, shatter, maybe not shatter them all and some are still alive
