[limpid trout]

Thoughts?

I don't have any ExOrbs to upgrade it further, but that +to minion skills is huge, eh? I'm SRS Arsonist

[versed wren]

Any good way of dealing with (IMG) ?
its a pain that it stops Shield regen

[wary juniper]

really good so far

[calm orchid]

Gotta be the best unique for any new character

Instant ignite just for enemies being next to you is crazy lol

[wary juniper]

probably not that strong

[calm orchid]

For early game definitely

That’s why I said new character

[analog gale]

ggg really is just putting ascendancy notables on uniques

i wonder what happens if you have that and the ascendancy version

im guessing nothing

[wet mango]

is 10 chaos res the best draught in cruel

[analog gale]

rampart raptor is really good early game too

[wet mango]

i'm guessing it's better than 5 all attr

[calm orchid]

Depends on what your setup is, there is a node to make you immune to chaos damage

But I think generally yeah

Take the 10 chaos

[analog gale]

and it will probably continue to be good if you can get flat damage for it

[wet mango]

obv. assuming i don't have that

[analog gale]

i got a wake of destruction and a rare gloves that has 3 added damage affixes

also wake of destruction is a 20% shock

[true juniper]

how good of a roll is this?

[analog gale]

you can hold alt and see the roll of the affixes

r1 is the lowest

[woven stone]

what are good support gems for Tempest Bell?

[dapper forum]

Which of the act 3 venom droughts is considered best? Leaning towards ailment resist

[dapper forum]

I like increased stun

[stoic vapor]

for stormweaver recoup ES does it still works if you dont have ES on gear?

[silk juniper]

does global phys dmg increase affect phys spells?

[cursive quest]

Hello, need to understand something. Just got cast on shock and I have 62 Spirit, but when I equip it, it says not enough spirit :/ - I have removed my previous presistance buff (ice shield)

[dapper forum]

Do you have any spirit cost increasing support gems on it?

[cursive quest]

No support gems on it

[crisp star]

anyone know how resist ignores and exposures/curses interact?

like if i have hypothermia + cold exposure on a mob giving it -50% resist

and i crit on monk with completely ignore on elemental resists

does that mean the crit is dealing amped damage? or am i actually just doing shit trying this setup cause i'm just ignoring less resists/

[silk juniper]

exposure lowers their actual resists, same with curses

so if you curse and expose

I think the ascendancy node makes crits ignore non-negative resists

[crisp star]

ye it does ignore non negative

[silk juniper]

so itt should always be a positive

[crisp star]

so basically it pretty much does jack shit on crits for me

only really helps my non crits?

[silk juniper]

well if you make them have -50% cold res

you will still do more dmg

50% more dmg

[lofty grotto]

Keep in mind

That ignores goes down to 0%

[crisp star]

but what if regular cold penetration

[lofty grotto]

Only negative effects can go bellow

[crisp star]

like the nodes that give 15% elemental penetration?

does that hit below 0% as well?

[silk juniper]

pen cannot go to negative

[lofty grotto]

Still 0%

[crisp star]

or same thing?

welp

aight

thx

saved me 8 skill points lol

[rain dust]

How am I loosing damage here?
Both weapons are almost identical in damage and attack speed yet i loose so much damage equipping both

What's the point of being able to dual weild 2h weapons if it just gimps your damage

[silk juniper]

you dont attack with both weapons at once

[rain dust]

Yeah I do

All the skills I use have stats for dual weilding

[silk juniper]

no you dont

[rain dust]

Yes I do

[silk juniper]

nah like you actually dont, just because you havea two weapons you dont swing them at the same time and have 2x dmg

[rain dust]

There is a whole ass new animation for the skills that use both weapons

[silk juniper]

only your basic strike does that

which is why it goes up in dps

[rain dust]

Give me 2 minutes to show you why you are wrong

[rain dust]

You can clearly see that when I equip 2 weapons it attacks with both.
It doubles the projectiles yet in the menu it says I lost damage.

[tawdry parcel]

Yes. You lose dmg while using dual wielding. lol

[rain dust]

Then what the fuck is the point?

[tawdry parcel]

Just use 2h + shield. Two 2h is really bad

[rain dust]

I would rather just not even play this character anymore.
The entire point of this build was dual welding 2h weapons

[lofty grotto]

Doubling on hit effects

[silk juniper]

yes but going off from poe1 if you dual wield you attack with your main hand wep and then with your off hand. in poe2 it seems to be the same way with some skill having some interactions like molten strike double proj

[rain dust]

I don't even want to play now

This is the most disappointing shit

[silk juniper]

well eventually there will be skills that use both at the same time, there are some in poe1

[lofty grotto]

So dont play it
Game informs you that dual wielding reduces damage for skills

[silk juniper]

atm not worth

[rain dust]

Wasn't expecting X2 damage but there's no way in hell I should loose damage

[silk juniper]

2h and a shield is pretty decent tho

[rain dust]

That's fucking boring

[rain dust]

Where?

[silk juniper]

in the skill itself

dual wielding does 30% less dmg

[rain dust]

While dual welding fires twice as many projectiles with %30 less attack speed.

Wielding*

2x projectiles yet I loose 1/3 of my damage?

[silk juniper]

oh

I see

you cant shotgun

[valid hound]

Anyone willing to check my build for me whats wrong with it? Im constantly dying to valley of giants!

[silk juniper]

like having 40 proj wont make the enemy take 40x dmg

I did the same thing

stack proj count and then realized that enemies could only get hit by one

[rain dust]

This completely ruins the entire build i wanted to do

But it doesn't make sense because perfect strike attacks with both weapons too but it's not a projectile attack yet still looses damage

In what world does it make sense to triple the attribute requirement for the ability to dual wield weapons but then turn around and make it do less damage?

[molten glacier]

anybody know how endless munitions interacts with scattershot on crossbow?

since scatter shot currently makes it a burst, doesnt endless munitions add 1 or 3 shots?

[digital axle]

30% less as dual wield, but there are some pros from dual wield. some passives are for dual wield and im not sure if u get block chance for dual wield 😄

[molten glacier]

on another note is it an addtiional projectile per shot that i fire from a cross bow, or just 1 per reload?

[rain dust]

I don't care about blocking.
I want to do more damage not less.
Who thought getting hit by 2 giant hammers did less damage then getting hit by just 1

[digital axle]

maybe there will be class or ascendancy for dual wield, atm its not viable

[valid hound]

Was the "Giant's blood" passive only double the attribute requirements earlier or am i tripping? im pretty sure it wasnt triple the attrib reqs

[rain dust]

I'm not sure but it's tripple now

[valid hound]

yes and its ass...

[forest orbit]

new speed meta https://imgur.com/jJ6Ifgf ?

[plain meteor]

Hello!
I am trying to better understand how this item works.
Does it pool all individual elements together and then divide it in 3?

[digital axle]

i guess u can take some axe and some mace nodes in passives to increase the damage if near em in ur passive tree to increase damage. dunno if it will work to increase damage that much. as ive checked there are not much passives for dual wield 😄

[velvet blade]

Yeah, this looks like a wild one. I think you're right though. Any elemental damage you do gets converted in thirds

[digital axle]

pretty great for some builds that uses ailments. there are some support gems that can boost damage the more ailments enemy has. maybe even passive tree can boost that damage

[plain meteor]

Thank you both!
Appreciate the info.

[digital axle]

yup

[velvet blade]

I'm really curious how this would work with Elemental Equilibrium

[jagged pawn]

question, if you take Eldritch Battery, do % increases to energy shield apply before or after? in other words are % increases to max energy shield useless when using Eldritch Battery, or are they beneficial?

[crisp arrow]

When you get Giant's Blood, do the 2 handers count as 1-handers know in terms of nodes where it says "One Handers Get X"?

[velvet blade]

Unfortunately it's a conversion so increases to energy shield won't apply to the mana. Just the base ES is converted to mana

[digital axle]

no

[jagged pawn]

man ggg really set on elimintaing synergy lol, ty for the info

[digital axle]

counts only as dual wield 😄

[velvet blade]

Yeah, it seems like a lot of decisions made for the early access really limit what players are capable of building. Hopefully that's just for testing and more variety will be available with updates

[rain dust]

I looked and saw that I didn't have %100 chance to hit.
I'm going to see if that helps but now I need another 5 levels to try and nd dual wield again

[rain dust]

Just like how the first ascendancy trial pretty much guarantees mace builds can't ascend until act 3.

Unless you have really good move and attack speed to offset how freaking slow the attacks are and no real good ranged options

[silk juniper]

that part is fine tbh

[rain dust]

How is it fine to gate keep a entire class from part of the game

[silk juniper]

there is no gatekeeping

[crisp arrow]

So "Small Passives" are basically the smallest sized nodes that aren't +5 to attribute?

[silk juniper]

it is not like you NEED the ascension

[rain dust]

And make them wait a entire act just to get ascendancy

[frosty arrow]

how do yall deal with mana on merc. There's literally 0 mana nodes anywhere on the tree that's easily accessible for him. Do you prioritize it on gear, or you just chug those potions all the time. I'm still in act 1, but already starting to feel like I'm running out quick and have to rely on potions

[pure oar]

does this exact passive skill works for spells? I dont understand from descriprion, halp pls

[silk juniper]

it is better to over level for it

[pure oar]

or there should be "for spells" like that

[silk juniper]

unless it states otherwise it works for spells

[pure oar]

ok thx

[median kraken]

That:s just global crit chance. Works for everything.

[rain dust]

It's one of the biggest parts of a character.

[digital axle]

there are specific nodes for spells and there are overall crit nodes

[silk juniper]

it is a nice power boost but doing sanctum on lvl 22 is interesting to say the least

[rain dust]

I did it in 3 tries on monk

Not even over leveled

Just really helps when your slowest attack is still faster than anything warrior can do

[silk juniper]

yes it is doable on level

I did it as soon as I could but it was no the move

when my friend did it on warrior on lvl 30 he just insta stunned the boss

[brisk furnace]

Can spark hit a single mob multiple times?

[silk juniper]

no reason to do it on level for any class tbh

[rain dust]

If anything the boss to unlock the trial is harder then the trial itself

[silk juniper]

yeah that boss was hard

[rain dust]

Besides unlocking key parts of your build and making the rest of the campaign easier

[silk juniper]

my campaign only got harder after I did mine

[dense venture]

So I can't find this info anywhere but, for warrior, does stun threshold increase your stagger bar (amount of hits before you can't active block anymore) or not? If not then what does increase it?

[plain meteor]

i think stun threshold increases ur active block pool / decreases chance to be stunned

[dense venture]

Does that mean that if you slot the unbreakable support gem on resonating shield you'd get a bigger active block pool (stagger bar)?

[sterile stone]

tooltip doesnt count shotgun, and this can shotgun, rolling magma right?

[fringe iron]

Can i equip same skills 1 on cast on shock and other like normal skill?

[sterile stone]

you can

[crystal fable]

Hello! I am struggling to decide between Lightning Arrow Deadeye and Spark Stormweaver. Anyone have any guidance on which one would be a smoother end game experience when it comes to both clear and bossing?

[fringe iron]

It will be casted automaticly and whenever i want at a same time right?

[sterile stone]

yepp

[verbal blaze]

does Chayula's catalyst increase chaos resistance?

[fringe iron]

But it cannot proc 2x times at once?

[sterile stone]

i dont see why it cant, i did it with cast on minion death

[fringe iron]

Idk about stormweaver,i dropped mine when they nerfed the CoF stuff and swapped to Deadeye,having a blast atm

I see,gonna try it then

[sterile stone]

in general right side build usually use evasion, that means you need to not get hit, idk about LA but Archmage is really strong

scaling mana for both defense and offense

[fringe iron]

I have like 89% evasion without buffs,still im 50 ish level and not the best gear but evading most of the attacks feels good sometimes

Proccing ball lightning with rods is pure eargasm as you 1 shot enemies

[night pebble]

What's the interval for the heal on Time Of Need?

[sleek sun]

what would be the best pure phys skill to use with a quarterstaff rn? did anyone test the cyclone thingy?

[verbal blaze]

does Chayula's catalyst increase chaos resistance?

[frank ermine]

sell Exalt Chaos Divine

[amber lark]

THIS BELT SAVED ME

[stark apex]

Anyone got any good ice strike monk invoker resources for scaling into end game?

i'm at t3 maps and doing very well winging it, want to optimize tho

[gleaming rampart]

got ghostwrithe and mings heart plus demon, just working on getting all the hp regen now ( @static plinth might as well tell you too)

[twilit cairn]

Does ‘Inc fire dmg’ and ‘fire pen’ benefit ignite dmg?

[rough quartz]

are bosses classified as unique mobs

[normal pumice]

Yes

[normal pumice]

Hmm, both would benefit the hit/source of the ignite, pen only ofc for mobs with resistance higher than 0. So indirectly only I'd say. Ignite itself scales with magnitude, ignite damage and ignite speed and duration.

[twilit cairn]

Doesnt all mobs in maps usually have over 0 fr ? Or how does it work?

[brisk hemlock]

Wouldn't chaos innoculation just make you get one shot by poison?
Obviously there's something I don't get about it?

[barren jetty]

what gear should I look for as a monk? I die fast. should I just go to the trading site and then buy gear with life+ the restistance I have the least?
or are thre also nice uniques?

[normal pumice]

Not sure tbh, flammability lowers resists as example. Generally though anything that benefits the source of the ignite , makes the ignite stronger and then you can scale ignite separately with the mods I mentioned above.

[normal pumice]

CI makes you chaos and bleeding immune.

[brisk hemlock]

What about poison?

[normal pumice]

Poison is a chaos damage ailment

[valid hound]

Should i go 1 two handed mace or mace + shield as my slam leap fire warrior build?

i realized that i never use my block ability on shield but unsure if i should switch to 2h maces

[normal pumice]

You could have 2H as second set for the slams. If you go warmonger there's also one node for passive blocking I believe.

[frosty arrow]

does grenade count as attack? It's not a spell, right? I just wonder if passives that increase area of attacks specifically affect grenades

[valid hound]

I went titan but im still new to game so the idea about using 2 weapon sets is way too much for me atm

so i would like to stick with 1 weapon only until i learn the game

[normal pumice]

What does it say below the name in smaller letters/tags?

[vernal lion]

Hi, does projectile damage effect grenades?

[frosty arrow]

yes

[frosty arrow]

it doesn't say it's an attack. But I just tested, it does work

[vernal lion]

just the impact or the blast as well?

[storm willow]

i can use only runes there right? is a rare weapon

[frosty arrow]

blast, impact doesn't do any damage

[normal pumice]

I see, in that case I'd recommend trying both and see what feels better. Also try experimenting a bit with the active block in engagements. If you find it too cumbersome going full power 2H might be good.

Also maybe 2H for mobs and shield+ for bosses.

[valid hound]

only situations ive been trying to use block are some bosses but those are the only ones

[vernal lion]

thx

[normal pumice]

Later there will be soul cores, work same es runes though, so technically yes.

[valid hound]

Also should i stick with my rare items or try to get better magic items? im unsure if its my passive skill tree or my items that fucks me atm... i take hella lot more dmg as warrior in act 2 but on my archer act 2 was piece of cake

[storm willow]

do u recomend me to use that rune? is by far the best weapon i have, im lvl 22 rn

[young meteor]

Can anyone help me with an ailments question?

So does this skill gem states at the bottom

shocks from supported skills do not expire on ignited enemies. Do shock and ignite not stack?

[normal pumice]

Upgrading to higher level weapons can be very beneficial to damage. You can regal and exalt them if blue mods are good.

[agile hatch]

very real

[young meteor]

My whole build is kind of based around elemental ailments and them not stacking breaks everything

I do alot of single target, but I really want to get ailments to be triggered more often on smaller mobs and am working towards that as a monk caster

[normal pumice]

Ignite and Shock are limited to one stack unless you got an effect from somewhere that changes that.
The ignite damage could potentially be increased by the shock effect though.

[young meteor]

or sorceress that went monk

got it

[agile hatch]

shock is like a stun/daze, ignite is a ailment

or the other way around idk

wait i check

[young meteor]

Shock increases dmg, ignite does dmg, chill slows and builds to freeze

[brisk hemlock]

Are these skills not the same when building "Cold Damage"?

1. Cold Damage
2. Elemental Damage
3. Spell Damage
   I guess this is a yes/no question.

[young meteor]

I know that, but I am concerned about why my ailments wont proc outside of cold currently anywhere near as quickly

[normal pumice]

Sorc > Stormw has a node thag allows two shock stacks

[young meteor]

So I am using these gloves

during the conversion it seems freeze procs more frequently as, but that may be due to the fact that there is no ailment display for shock/ignite build up

so it's hard to say exactly what is going on and why for me

[fast rock]

I noticed that skeleton arsonists bombs change when they throw and pass through fire wall. What does that do to damage or is it purelly visual?

[young meteor]

so that socket gem storm confused me

[agile hatch]

you might have mods that increase cold dmg

[young meteor]

More fire

[agile hatch]

or enemies are weaker to cold than others

[fast rock]

more fire damage or just fire (ailment)?

[young meteor]

Yes because more fire dmg = more fire ailment proc towards ignite

[fast rock]

😮

[young meteor]

Thats the thing that's weird

[fast rock]

Do you know how much damage that adds?

[young meteor]

It all varries click the dps arrow it should break it down for firewall and the minion s

for your respective level

[normal pumice]

Do the damage details say how much dmg of each element the skill does]?

[young meteor]

so with the gloves I posted they should be the same amount

[young meteor]

^^

the percentages of increases on my build are all increased the same amount currently

however I have more shock/freeze build than say ignite atm, because there is more available on gems

[tiny chasm]

@young meteor I’m running the same gloves on mu stotmweaver and it shows different ranges for each element in the breakdown for fireball. Looks like I’m getting more effects from the highest damage range. I’ve not had time to really test much. Is your ice damage range the highest?

[obsidian epoch]

I dont understand, i have uncut skill gem and i dont see a srs anywhere, same with normal gems theres nothing like that, where do i find srs? and what support skill do u guyz recommend for minion oriented witch?

[obsidian epoch]

(Im level 23 and im so confused)

[young meteor]

For temepest flurry sorc(monk)

[young meteor]

srs?

[obsidian epoch]

flaming skull minions

Theres no skill like that in uncut skil gems and also in support gems but people told me to build that

[young meteor]

solor orb is nice

permanent buff skill gem gives you one

[young meteor]

.

[obsidian epoch]

summon raging spirit thats the name

[obsidian epoch]

yes where to find that

[young meteor]

It's a permanent buff skill gem

you get them at a certain point

normally when you gain spirit

[obsidian epoch]

is it smth like withering presence?

[young meteor]

through the boss

[obsidian epoch]

i didnt have it yet or im blind

im lvl 26

[young meteor]

yes

it is the same gem type as that

[obsidian epoch]

oh i probably chose withering presence instead of srs

what a dumbass i am

[young meteor]

it should say permanent skill buff

[obsidian epoch]

🙂

it should be recovarable for such idiots as me

its frustrating that if u choose something u cant go back

[young meteor]

you end up with alot of them I wouldnt worry too much

I have like 16 duplicates of different gems on accident now instead of upgrading...

[obsidian epoch]

also, what are orbs for, i have hundreds of them and idk if they are any good

[mint glacier]

For grenade builds, what stats should i be looking for in my crossbow? also just wondering is the dmg based on like physical or elemental

[dusk brook]

I hate that i have to ask this, at all, but what can i play that will allow me to focus on the gameplay and bonk enemies rather than slamming 50 buttons to kill one mob - lol, but also wont get obliterated by a nerf patch? id be happy making a new character, i just dont think warrior is for me at the moment, i think we need axes/swords. i wanna have a good time, but im afraid of something i do being absolutely slammed for whatever reason.

[obsidian epoch]

many people play spark as main damage and rest is for tankiness

[fiery aspen]

hello, for monk (mostly elemental using storm wave, charge staff, tempest flurry + ice stuff too etc) are these energy shield nodes worth it for survivability? I was dying a lot and put them in, but not sure if theres a difference and dont want to spend 1000's of gold swapping back and forth to feel it out again

6 levels of points is a lot, but they read like they all stacked together nicely

[frosty arrow]

your tree is too compressed. You beat around the starting nodes, but often best value nodes require you to venture out further into the tree

[fiery aspen]

theres a lot of good stats early and i wanted the elemental stuff, + attack speed and movespeed. I can move it out as i get higher level possibly

i plan to do something along these lines

picking up stuff in the circled areas

the quarter staff stuff maybe all of it, not sure yet

but back to the original question, is filling out the energy shield + evasion entire node worth it?

is it a reasonable defensive base

[frosty arrow]

I mean, there's no rights or wrongs. But these starting major passive nodes aren't that amazing. I'd say certainly not worth spending so many points on

here's how my frost monk looking rn

[fiery aspen]

ok cool ill look into some of those nodes look good

[frosty arrow]

if you focus on one element there's some very powerful passives right at the top there

which boost your damage massively if you apply elemental ailments

if you apply multiples can get even crazier if you stack them

[fiery aspen]

ya i have those, but was honestly doing shock + freeze

trying to hybridize thought it was cool

and that node you have with 50% increased if effected by heralds

i was planning on trying to run herald of frost and lightning once i can

[frosty arrow]

big boost. Issue with herald of frost is it's useless on bosses

but with that passive it gives you good damage bump all around

[fiery aspen]

was filling out allt his stuff for both shock freeze

then gonna head over to that herald node

[fiery aspen]

ya true but it makes clearing the most satisfying thing ever

so totally worth i slot it instead of thunder right now

but once i have 60 spirit ill do both

my boss dmg is really good atm

[frosty arrow]

there's also interesting group of passives on the bottom left there. I got one for frost

you can add more for lightning

and it gives overall elemental damage too

[fiery aspen]

im running bell with 40% dmg, -40% area. And 10 second cooldown + 40% dmg support. And i use it for big elits and bosses only

ya those seem good, the penetration ones too

[frosty arrow]

bell is very good. I kinda skipped it for act 1, thinking it won't be good. But for bosses it's a godsent

[fiery aspen]

i just made a new staff it increased my tempest flurry dps from 460 to 950 on the skill gem tooltip

didnt want the fire dmg but it rolled it when i used exalteds

the physical dmg seemed good, bc all the elemental skills convert a % of physical

someone i spoke to said its one of the highest dmg increases for monk despite the elemental build

and it did give me massive number boost

[frosty arrow]

heh, weirdly similar to my staff

[pure oar]

There not gonna be more support slots in skills as I lvl them up, like with skills that are built in weapon, so I must anyways use Jeweler's orb on them right?

[frosty arrow]

correct

[forest ermine]

Can someone explain what does it means? " Target Can be affected by two of your Shocks at the same time"
Is it like Double the shock damage effect?

[young meteor]

Yes @forest ermine

[fiery aspen]

hopping off this, i have 2 jewelers orbs saved (lvl 37) what skills are worth using them on, and for what extra support gems?
Storm wave? Charged staff? Tempest Flurry? Maybe bell?

[forest ermine]

how much shock deal as extra damage?

[young meteor]

I did my auto attack(the tempest flurry and bell

[fiery aspen]

sorry for elemetnal monk

[young meteor]

20%ea

[frosty arrow]

use it on your main all purpose damage abilities I'd say. I expanded ice strike and glacial cascade first

[forest ermine]

ea?

[young meteor]

each

[forest ermine]

no ye

i know

[fiery aspen]

ya flurry seems like a solid choice. what supports do you run on it? i have attack speed but idk what else is worth it

[forest ermine]

I ment like does it stack more then one? how does it work i dont really get it

[young meteor]

my build is weird mamox

[kind maple]

what does quality do for herald of thunder?

[fiery aspen]

well in general, what are the suggested support gems for tempest flurry besides attack speed? stun buildup seems ok

[young meteor]

but basically attack speed, dmg when close, and ele dmg or more areadmg minus aoe

That is what I used earlier

[fiery aspen]

where do get dmg when close support im not seeing it when i search

[frosty arrow]

primal armament, martial tempo, crescendo. It's what I run on ice strike which is my default auto attack. Crescendo adding one extra use of the finisher attack is actually incredible for wave clear, and boss damage if you can squeeze full 4-piece combo

[fiery aspen]

oh i need a lvl 2 support gem

[fiery aspen]

when do we start getting those

[young meteor]

end of act 2 into 3

[fiery aspen]

im using concentrated effect on bell

ah im in act 3 so one will probs drop soon

i wonder if using it on flurry is more dmg overall?

[young meteor]

well I would add are of effect to the bell because concetrated will boost the dmg hit on the bell, but so does dmg from the skill hitting the bell. so you get 4 hits of extra dmg and it still applies to the bell

[fiery aspen]

i typically use the bell for single target so dont care about aoe on it too much but ya i could

i had the aoe on herald of frost

so it triggered bigger chain explosions for clearing

i also was using it on storm wave

at times

[young meteor]

makes sense it is nice to have though later on

it hits archers

[brisk hemlock]

Anyone feel like Elemental Resist curse is too much mana and not even worth it?

[young meteor]

no not at all

[forest ermine]

use it 1 time, and its pretty good

[brisk hemlock]

Thanks for the feedback. Guess I just suck then 🤷

[fiery aspen]

another thing thats nice for bosses + big elites, is meta gem hand of Chayula with frost mark and voltaic mark (from bow skills) on it linking with the meta gem

can double mark elites/bosses with a quick dash for better frost AND stun

works nicelyt

[young meteor]

anyone know what this applies to?

[scarlet oasis]

Is there a gem that improves cast speed?

[young meteor]

arcane tempo

[young meteor]

tier 1

[twilit cairn]

can some1 pls explain to me what this node does ?

[swift ridge]

Early game should I be salvaging or disenchanting uniques (golds) ?

[young meteor]

overlife

[twilit cairn]

so i can overheal ?? whats the point of that ?

[young meteor]

if you take more dmg it will keep the lifeleech you have gained

instead of the effects falling off when you get to full health

meaning if you one shot a pack of enemies at low life and went to full all excess is store

which is nice

[twilit cairn]

ye ok, sounds good! ty

[tidal steeple]

Hi, could someone please advise me on the build for beginner Mercenery please? Right now I am level 13.

[young meteor]

lightning, grenade, or bleed(crit)

are all good

[fast rock]

From act 3 cruel I choose +5 attributes, is there a way to change it or a plan to change it by devs. Seems like I made objectivelly the wrong choice

[twilit cairn]

how do i actually "leech life" though ??
i dont see a node "attacks leech life" or something

[young meteor]

you have it on weapons armors trinkets

[young meteor]

there are lots of nodes that improve the amount you leech

[young meteor]

I also believe recoup counts for leech

[twilit cairn]

ahh nice if recoup counts then i got it alrdy 👌

[terse cobalt]

can i shock and freeze the same enemy?

[young meteor]

yes

[terse cobalt]

is there a debuff icon showing when i shock an enemy?

[frosty arrow]

Yes, elemental ailments show below the health bar

Also, you can see visual effects

[terse cobalt]

I have this ascendancy and dont see shocks on enemies. I have this but maybe its causing problems

would this be a bug?

[young meteor]

It wouldnt do anything I dont think

[frosty arrow]

You have to make sure you have source of element

[terse cobalt]

I am using spark

[frosty arrow]

Hmm

[young meteor]

actually maybe it would work

because it says contributes

[scarlet oasis]

Is there any that buff bow skills instead of spells?

[young meteor]

attack speed

[scarlet oasis]

That also buffs cast speed?

[terse cobalt]

yeah i tested looks like the ascendancy doesnt work with three dragons unique

[young meteor]

open the skills menu and hit the arrow

[young meteor]

it says attack speed on the skill if it is a bow used skill most likely. So attack speed increased would effect the speed in which you can attack with the skill

[twilit cairn]

i rly dont get it how warriors get enuf STR to wear two 2handers with Giants Blood ? i got several items with -attribute req but i still cant do it

[fast rock]

From act 3 cruel I choose +5 attributes, is there a way to change it or a plan to change it by devs. Seems like I made objectivelly the wrong choice by missing out on +10 Chaos res. am I screwed?

[sick timber]

fellas should i go ice strike charged staff monk or try merc?

[quaint wasp]

basically every single item needs str, plus str nodes, plus -req on the wep can help the transition as well.

[dense fiber]

Question do you guys recommend armor/evasion on helmet and chest then maybe armor and energy shield on boots and gloves?

For merc btw

[twilit cairn]

Not even sure its a dmg inc with all the dmg nodes and stats i leave behind to get str lol

[quaint wasp]

ppl dont use giant blood for dmg

[twilit cairn]

Ye I want it for skills

But still

[wintry ingot]

jewels good for merc?

[river summit]

Crossbow damage Crossbow reload and attack damage are always good, depends on your build but crit is available though the state of atk crit for merc is really not good

[quaint wasp]

like with something like this. only need 444 str. which is not too bad

[wintry ingot]

thanks a lot dude

[twilit cairn]

"only" .. alright gets i just needa get more str and -attribute then 😄 ty

[fast rock]

anyone wants this?

[brisk hemlock]

1% to all Maximum Elemental Resistance. What's the point?

[cursive quest]

So after the nerf, does Cast on Shock ever proc comet?

how do you increase energy build up?

[normal pumice]

There are some ways to increase build up or reduce mob threshold. Items/Tree

[languid kestrel]

if I have both chain and pierce supports, how many times will I pierce?

[fast rock]

Is this normal?
I kept getting +10% permanent res. buffs but I somehow ended up even lower...
Is this a bug?

[normal pumice]

I guess final is -60 for 6 acts. Are you in A4?

[fast rock]

I just finished act 3 Cruel

so is our base elemental resistances at -40%?

[bleak forge]

Basically yes

Penalty as you go further through Acts.

Does Rising Tempest take mod damage type as skill damage or only base type of the skill ?

[calm vessel]

What should I get first in stormweaver asvendency?

[mortal plaza]

playing lightning ranger and i am constantly turbo manastarved, anyone else have this issue? or a fix?

[terse escarp]

Are critical chance bonuses from passive tree additive or multiplicative with my weapon’s base crit chance?

[bleak forge]

What is the wording

“Add” usually mean additive in this game

[wraith fox]

could you show me how youre able to do this with skills and support gems, also passive tree

[white stone]

thats just ball lightning and then lightning warp on the balls

[wraith fox]

yeah i know, but i got a pal here thats struggling finding a lighting build and he likes the warp

[white stone]

you can make it into a functioning build with cast on shock

i got a video somewhere

not made by me

[wraith fox]

tag me please

[white stone]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMXiBn5h180

[wraith fox]

perfect, thank you

[white stone]

total clickbait thumbnail, but the content is legit

i watched the video myself

[wraith fox]

only sad part, hes infernalist

because he went minions at the start

[white stone]

restart then

[terse escarp]

“20% increased critical hit chance”

[white stone]

key part to this build is stormweaver

the double shock

[bleak forge]

Sry pal, no clue with that wording.

[terse escarp]

Thats the wording of the node in the game…

[white stone]

multiplicative, total trash

you need like 700% increased crit chance

to have actual good crit chance

[terse escarp]

Ah damn why

[white stone]

you gonna have to work around the support giving additive crit chance

forgot the name though

[terse escarp]

Inevitable crit?

[white stone]

no

thats still increased

[bleak forge]

Isnt that support gem?

[wraith fox]

gg

[terse escarp]

You talking about a node on the passive tree?

[white stone]

no

[terse escarp]

Yes

[white stone]

support gem

typo, i wrote passive first

corrected to support

ah rip it has +8 sec cooldown

[frail thunder]

Any ideas on what the best class is for blasphemy?

Witch doesn't seem to have a whole lot of inherent support for it besides tree position.

Maybe gemling?

I'm abusing the titan node for 50% extra minor node stats so I don't really wanna make another warrior

[terse escarp]

Why does this gem increase it additively but the other gem doesnt? Subtle wording im misunderstanding?

[white stone]

'more' versus 'increased'

[terse escarp]

Hm i guess that does make sense

What about “15% more maximum lightning damage” and just “x% more ___ damage”?

[feral halo]

why is it so hard to sustain maps? is there hidden tech you can share with us?

[white stone]

What about it?

[white stone]

Precursor tablets and correct atlas tree passives

[feral halo]

what would be the correct atlas tree passives?

[feral halo]

I haven't found 1 precursor tablets

[white stone]

Everything that gives more tablets, higher level tablets and higher rarity tablets

[terse escarp]

How does it differ from “x% increased lightning damage”? Obviously the wording is different but i dont understand what increasing my “maximum” damage means exactly

[white stone]

Then you are doing too low level maps

[feral halo]

I'm currently on 13

[white stone]

Precursor tablets are white FYI

You probably missed them

[feral halo]

I just went through 10 12 maps got 2 12 maps and 1 13 maps

[white stone]

Maximum is due to lightning attacks having a range

It has its own little RNG

[silk juniper]

No way, do you have waystone tier increase nodes?

[white stone]

Increased is additive with itself and other increased sources whereas more or extra is a true final multiplier

So increased suffer heavy diminishing returns

[formal junco]

what kind of hits i cant evade without this

[feral halo]

no, should I?

[white stone]

Might say in the tooltip for evade right there

[silk juniper]

Yes you should unless you want to get low tier waystones

I never run out of t15s

[terse escarp]

This i understand wym completely. The maximum lightning damage you refer to though is with any source of lighting damage? Ive been levelling and havent noticed lightning damage being limited per se (using quarterstaff skills)

[formal junco]

doesnt say

but someone answered in the other channel, good to go

[feral heath]

enfolding dawn or necromantle?

[white stone]

The skills themselves have a range

That is what it refers to

[bleak forge]

Does Rising Tempest take mod damage type as skill damage or only base type of the skill ?

[ionic coral]

Has anyone worked on a the demon form witch?

[terse escarp]

oh ok, thanks for the clarifications bro

[thorn bone]

my dd skeleton warrior is finally working

[snow sierra]

what level are you ?

[unique sparrow]

can i use this till mid-late game?

[snow sierra]

you can try ^^

[elder pollen]

no

[tiny urchin]

You probably could, but usually wands/staffs with +3-4 spell level are preferred

[lapis lark]

if i take Mind over matter, damage recouped as life becomes useless no?

[snow sierra]

i mean if you plan on using it get a higher item level

[tiny urchin]

Well, it goes up to 6 for staffs if you get one. You'd want that as high as possible

[snow sierra]

I used abit of like recoup to pay the cost of my spells in life here and there^^

[lapis lark]

oh with life tap?

[snow sierra]

yes and offering that cost 15% of my hp

[lapis lark]

i play chronomancer, i don't think i will take offerings

[tiny urchin]

Honestly it's not really needed for wands if the mods are good, you never really use the skills granted

[snow sierra]

to balance out mana cost abit since i played chrono and for my recoup build had 33% life recoup to get tot he 4sec recoup

[silk juniper]

Does it do good dmg?

[thorn bone]

👀

no curse used , using warriors instead of brutes

[snow sierra]

i know but this one procs spark, only wanted to point out that the spell level is low too, using the spelllevel staffs is preferable too imo

[silk juniper]

Why no brutes

[thorn bone]

abit low spirit now

i do a high cast speed so more skeletal more boom

[unique sparrow]

oh the staff grants 2 level 3 spells and theyre stuck at level 3?

[silk juniper]

No brutality on your dd?

[tiny urchin]

I mean there's always skill gems, item level on staffs/wands is basically pointless to look at

[unique sparrow]

im new to poe2 so its all a bit confusing to me but 100% lightning damage seemed really good to me so thats why i asked if its usable till mid to late

[snow sierra]

No ? they are not

The spells on gear scale with item level and some can be very good

[tiny urchin]

Non-unique staffs/wand spells are all ones you can just use a skill gem on, there's really no point

[snow sierra]

Gem level is very strong and the 100% isnt as mutch as you think

[thorn bone]

too lazy to swap gems

i have it right in my inventory but didnt expect the boss to die so fast

[young meteor]

How do you do your third ascendency trial?

[unique sparrow]

okay so i should watch out for staffs that say "adds +X amount to spell levels"?

[silk juniper]

Which ascendency are you?

[thorn bone]

bloodmage

[snow sierra]

There a skills on scepters where skill level is nice, skilllevel on corpswalkers is worth it, i dont know what to tell you man, sometimes you want the skills on you gear to have a good level too

[silk juniper]

Nice

[proven rapids]

would this kill me with CI ?

[silk juniper]

Been doing t15s as dd bloodmage

[snow sierra]

no like ppl sayed look for the + level to spell

[silk juniper]

It is kinda smooth

[tiny urchin]

I mean that would be optimal, but you'd be splitting hairs to care about the innate spell that you don't even need to use over looking for max roll mods

[snow sierra]

i highly recommend checking the vendor every level to see if he sells you a wand/staff with + level to the spell type you are using

[tiny urchin]

Item level is the last thing you should care about on wands/staffs, look at the level of mods instead

[neat lotus]

Do + to all (X) skill go past skill level 20?

[silk juniper]

Yes

Max lvl is 40 I think

[tropic cove]

are there any good minion witch builds right now that run energy shield instead of armor and a shield?

[tiny urchin]

Yeah, it goes as much as you can get it to on gear mods. Amulets and weapon are the two main ways to increase it

[snow sierra]

No i dont, normaly you are right tho, spelllevel on most things is not important, until it is

[silk juniper]

Does exploding your own minions count as a minion build?

[tiny urchin]

But it just isn't, there's 10 skill gem slots. You'd need to really crank your spirit to make that even matter

[tropic cove]

of course

[snow sierra]

there are skills that you cant get without items mate

[silk juniper]

I recommend dd bloodmage or infernalist

[neat lotus]

Thanks. Another question if you have the answer to it. Do breach shards not drop below a certain waystone tier, or am I just massively unlucky?

[silk juniper]

Infernalist dd runs ci and stacks energy shield

[thorn bone]

good question

[tiny urchin]

But those aren't normal wands/staffs, those are uniques where you look at completely different factors because mods are preset. Those are usually not great as weapons because +skill level is usually much better, unless you have a very specific build

[thorn bone]

i walk around and just hold down the move minion button to the front so they block any projectiles

i guess its a minion build

idk

[silk juniper]

There is a move minion button?

[tiny urchin]

That I'm honestly not too sure about, wish I could help there but I don't know XD

[thorn bone]

don't tell me u dont know

[snow sierra]

i kinda intrested in dd, in poe one dd didnt need mutch investmet at all to do good dmg, so you could invest in defensive alot...and i kinda want to build a 15k ES char

[silk juniper]

What

[thorn bone]

dd would suck otherwise depending on the AI move

[silk juniper]

Well idk if you saw what happened to dd in poe1 but it has lost that former glory

You need to invest in offense

[uncut bay]

is there a skill that allows you to jump out of a crowd of monsters?

[steel tundra]

its the ` key

[thorn bone]

@silk juniper

[silk juniper]

Bro thats crazy

[thorn bone]

it still sucks on narrow ways sometimes they get stuck

[silk juniper]

I be doing all shortd of goofy shit to get them to a good spot

[snow sierra]

i didnt it seems ^^

[thorn bone]

if im not paying attention im suddenly down half my skeletons

[snow sierra]

dont forget you can weaponswap

to despawn your minions kinda quick too

so they port to you when you swap back

[thorn bone]

rn im not sure if i wanna run a slower cast speed but bigger boom or faster boom but lower dmg

[thorn bone]

yea

[silk juniper]

Slow cast speed is really nice

[thorn bone]

its also why i run mass skeletons instead of brute

so i can run high cast speed

[silk juniper]

The first hit armour breaks and the second one kills

I wish I could afford another link to add arcane tempo to my dd tho

[rain ice]

whats the best jewel stat for titan? im folliwing https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/alkaizer

[silk juniper]

Greater jewellers still a bit expensive

[thorn bone]

i just vaal a 3 socket into 4

took me 4 exalts

[snow sierra]

I need a build, that dos not have mana issues, and has a helm, body and amulett slot free to use, thats sound like a tough call

ye vaal sockets from 3 to 4 are totaly the way for most of the game

[rain ice]

jeweler for passive skils*

[silk juniper]

Might have to do that

[elder pollen]

every build will cap on mana.... wdym? even MoM mages will

[silk juniper]

Gotta love lvl 7 dd with 30 mana cost

[thorn bone]

yeah its the peasant way to get 4 socket

[silk juniper]

Should be fairly easy

I have no uncut lvl 7 skill gems tho

If I fail

[silk juniper]

Not every build

[thorn bone]

yeah i got unlucky and used all my lvl7 and 8

ended up using lvl10 instead

32mana

[snow sierra]

i want to make a build with MoM and these dos anyone have a idea what spell i could use to make it work ?

[twilit cairn]

best reward from Sevi Q act3 is 10 chaos resist i guess ... ?

[snow sierra]

yes

chaos res is super important to have and exensive to get later, unless you go CI

[silk juniper]

What chaos res?

[junior smelt]

is there any item or skill that will let the ES recharge even while I take damage?

[snow sierra]

you could specc that you like reg or flask gos to energy shield

or use spirit offering when you are killing

[silk juniper]

Eternal youth

Which quest gives chaos res?

I think I missed it

[snow sierra]

Chronomancer could rewind time back to full too

[severe drum]

what does minion power mean?

[snow sierra]

context ?

[severe drum]

for cast on minion death

it used to be max hp right? now it just says minion power

[patent shadow]

Guys i have a question about adds xx Damage to attacks is this working on spells or only for melee

[snow sierra]

ah i belive it means i depends on the level of minion you let die

[harsh gazelle]

Anyone tried "Answered Call" ascendany point? How is it?

[snow sierra]

so you can kill level 1 minions fast

[severe drum]

ok weird, it brings up the tool tip of other "cast on" with normal, magic, rare, uniques

so it is pretty weird

[snow sierra]

you are right kinda weired tooltip for minion power

[steel tundra]

5 skulls of a lv 16 SRS gives me a 27%

[kind timber]

what happens if you have "defend with 120% armor vs projectile attack" and "defend 150% armor from attacks farther than 6m" at the same time 🤔

[snow sierra]

i would assume defend with 270% of your armor

[silk juniper]

probably 170%

[snow sierra]

ah yes you are right

[shrewd raptor]

is there a difference between es recharge rate and recovery rate?

[silk juniper]

recharge rate is the time it takes for your es to being recharging

wait nvm

recharge rate is once it being recharging

[shrewd raptor]

yee looking at soul bloom talent and not sure what the difference is

[silk juniper]

how fast it will recharge

pretty sure that recharge counts as recovery

[shrewd raptor]

hmm, kind of an odd notable passive then

[steel tundra]

base value is 12.5% per second

[silk juniper]

you can leech es or make life flask apply to es

so making it like that lets it benefit more stuff

[shrewd raptor]

oh that might actually be interesting

[alpine pecan]

So does increased chaos damage actually affect poison damage now or not? It says "This magnitude is not further affected by any damage you deal" in the tooltip. Is it all just based on the hit and magnitude scaling or can I actually take chaos to scale the poison?

[topaz stirrup]

Hi could anyone help me with my chaos monk build?

[barren pine]

I am looking at a build where the guy puts Profane ritual spell into reapers invocation gem socket how is this being done?

[dense venture]

So this is like having an extra health bar that extends beyond what you see e.g. 600/500 hp? (100 over the normal 500/500?)

How long does it last?

[steel tundra]

Reaper is a Trigger gem, allows for it to socket ability gems within to trigger their effects.

[olive sapphire]

whats the most efficient way to increase maximum elemental resistance?

[steel tundra]

Beyond passives? No idea.

[snow sierra]

Saffell's Frame Emblem Crest Shield would be a solution

[barren pine]

OK ok I see. Maybe I couldn't put it in because I didn't have enough intelligence for Profane ritual spell. 🙏

[dark wharf]

does breach ring increase all items quality cap to 50?

[steel tundra]

I believe its just the ring itself

[dark wharf]

lol

[woeful steppe]

is this bow listed on the market place a significant enough improvemnt over my equipped bow for me to buy it?

[unique sparrow]

Any ideas how i could squeeze out more damage out of my autoattacks?

im lvl 22

[peak solstice]

Is unique hammer Mjolnir confirmed to be in the game?

[wise falcon]

i have a technical question for the node "mind over matter" , does the modifier "damage taken recouped as mana" works if the dmg is taken by the mana ? plz be sure ^^ i don't have enough money to test :p

[granite tulip]

Ghost Dance only works for a hybrid EV/ES setup, right? It wouldn't overflow your non-existant ES, if you were pure EV, right?

[sacred sail]

@tropic river hey :p I had an idea what if you play blood mage take this, you overflow your life and get good ignite with the other unique that make you spread ignite. Since you don't cast spell you don't lose life from your passive and could take all defensive node of bloodmage or you could have some low level spells that you put all crit gems on it to still get life orb on bosses maybe even cast on ignite. 🤔

[silk juniper]

overflow life does not count as max life

[sacred sail]

huh really 😔

[silk juniper]

yes

[hexed stream]

i have a question, waht does increased weapon elemental damage mean?

the weapon part confuse me

[sacred sail]

I see the wording shennanigan here

[sacred sail]

basically it's not a % elemental dmg, it's a % elemental dmg that increase the BASE elemental dmg of your weapon if you have one. The damage on your weapon is like the base on which everything else is calculated that's why for attack builds it's the most important stats

unless I'm wrong

it's like phys dmg % it only increase the dmg of your weapon

[hexed stream]

so if the weapon is full phys that mod is useless?

[sacred sail]

unless I'm wrong

yes totally

[rich oasis]

Good?

[sacred sail]

at 162 871 dmg it would be good but right now, not at all. Sad

[hexed stream]

mhhh i thought the same thats why i was confused since i am loocking at a build on mobalytics and it has a weap elem damage on a full phys weapon

[sacred sail]

then I may be wrong

I just thought it made sense

this way

[hexed stream]

then what it should be doing?

[sacred sail]

since weapon has both Local mod that affect the weapon and general mod that affect your character

[sacred sail]

either it's local to the weapon => base dmg or just a general % increase ele dmg

[hexed stream]

this weap elem damage is a support gem on hammer of the god

[unreal girder]

Can anyone help me?

I feel like Im barely shocking with galvanic rounds even though I got the 100% inc shock gem and a bunch of ailment chance nodes

[worn cairn]

hi there, is warrior with dual 2-handed weapons good?

[hexed stream]

i tried @worn cairn without a shield on high tier map u get destroyed

block is way to good

[uncut ibex]

Can the different elemental skeleton summons (frost mages, arsonists, storm mages) afflict ailments with attacks? Or only their abilities?

[sacred sail]

I'm using a 2 hander 😭

[hexed stream]

me too 2 hand and shield

[sacred sail]

without shield

just 2 hander

[hexed stream]

can u show me the build? xD

[sacred sail]

I'm in T6

[worn cairn]

hm what do you recommend, 2-handed weapon in one hand and a shield?

[hexed stream]

i am trying to make a decent build for 2 days on warrior

[sacred sail]

my build is doing good but nothing special BUT I'm in mid level map so

[worn cairn]

so Giant's blood is crucial for warrior? How about 'Resolute technique'

[sacred sail]

and get one shot sometimes

[steel tundra]

100% shock is applying it to your base value. i.e if your shock chance is default 10% then the gem makes it 20% (+100%).

[hexed stream]

giant blood is too good to not take it imh

[sacred sail]

try to get a better weapon, no way around it the individual hit of the skill may be too low

[hexed stream]

@sacred sail what skills are u using with the build?

[sacred sail]

@unreal girderor you messed up your gems and disabled ele ailment

[unreal girder]

My weapon is pretty good for my level

No I do proc it sometimes

Its just rare

[sacred sail]

I use sunder with hourglass + hammer of the gods for rare, stampede + armour explosion for mapping

[worn cairn]

which way to go to giant's blood then?> through jewel socket or through spike pit?

[hexed stream]

jewhel

[sacred sail]

@hexed stream probably not the best, that's my tree

[worn cairn]

thought the same

[uncut bay]

how does spark do against bosses compared to arc?

[hexed stream]

@sacred sail oh so u are not using giant bloood

[worn cairn]

@hexed stream hmmm, how about resolut technique?

[sacred sail]

some ability are better than others, you need big individual hit. Get very close to bosses/rare

[sacred sail]

where do I find the str, impossible

@hexed stream focused on recovery

[hexed stream]

@worn cairn i used for the all campain cz i was mossing way to much with lowa ccuracy

i still use it but i plan to remove with when i get accuracy on some pieces

cz i want to crit with sunder

@sacred sail yeah i know i just recently was able to run it u need strength on most of the pieces and some strength nodes too

[sacred sail]

I think I'd rather get hp regen than str tbh

[worn cairn]

how do you see you have low accurancy? I only see dps

[sacred sail]

goal 100% life regenerated per second, the dream

[hexed stream]

@worn cairn on the tab for every skills

[white hemlock]

do totems count as allies?

[hexed stream]

lcick on arrow

it open a tab

[snow sierra]

how tood is the bloodmage leech ? like life substain never becomes a problem good ?

[hexed stream]

dont think so

[worn cairn]

ok i have 97% now so i guess its enough

[barren pine]

Is this a good armor for Monk or am I better off with something with more evasion?

[sacred sail]

it's good for leveling

[hexed stream]

i would think so too

[sacred sail]

have fun with it

[sterile stone]

totem is allies, why wouldnt they

just like minions

[granite tulip]

How do you guys solve physical damage mitigation as full EV build?

[worn cairn]

when you have maxed all skills to level 6, uncut skill gems lvl 6 are useless then?

[cold sigil]

I just got enough spirit to use Elemental Invocation, whats a good early spell I should attach to it? I am a frost build.

[hexed stream]

it should say totem too here

[sacred sail]

try them all !

[hexed stream]

it doesnt so i am guessing they dont

[atomic pier]

So I think I confirmed that minions do not count each other as allies and they do not count actual players as allies either or allies stats can not be transferred to minions, the +100 health transfered because all my minions health went up by 200-300 with the +100 plus modifer minion health bonuses. Oh well was worth a try.

My idea/Was hoping by giving the amulet allies stats to my minions, they would then pass it back to me as I am an ally and to each other as minions are allies etc but it doesn't work.

[sterile stone]

and any other entity that fights alongside you and has it own stats

[hexed stream]

mhh yeah u are right

[white hemlock]

not specified, the tag description calls them "allied constructs", but wanted to make sure before I plan a build around that

[hexed stream]

make sense, they should count then

[steel tundra]

Might be a bug. Really seems like the sort of think that node was meant to do.

[sterile stone]

totem fights along side you and has it own stats

[white hemlock]

agree that it would make sense for it to work, wanted to make sure it does

[sterile stone]

zizaran use allies have incs attacks speed node for his totem build

[brisk hemlock]

I made a mistake and it's costing me about 80k gold. How much gold could I get for an exalt?

[white hemlock]

ok, ty

[sterile stone]

gold is not tradeable

[snow sierra]

that the joke you cant

you need to farm gold yourself sadly

[exotic hare]

i need help here, im lvl 55 and my crossbow is still lvl 33, i just cant get any better bow, why is that??

[sacred sail]

you should make it quick if you sell every rare you find

[sterile stone]

it is possible to buy random gear like a full stash of rare rings/amulets on TFT

[wild nimbus]

guys i need an answer for this, is there anything from evasion rating that gives energy shield or vice versa, same for evasion rating and armor, anyone knows ?

[rancid schooner]

1% goes to each or full amount to each?

[sterile stone]

3% each

[atomic pier]

3% of damage taken goes to all

[wild nimbus]

help pleaseee

[snow sierra]

there is one for body armor too

i belive

[pseudo plaza]

Anyone has delved into theory-crafting a self-applying damaging ailments warrior? (ideally something with the ability to self ignite)

[wild nimbus]

so different parts of items but not a straight forward thingy right ? like the monk ascendency

[sterile stone]

the game do have shit loot, unlucky, or buy from trade with ex

[sacred sail]

don't think we have enough support for too much shennanigan

in general

right now

[wet mango]

Because you got a really good lvl 33 bow

[sacred sail]

check merchant each level up

[sterile stone]

im using lv 1 staff till act 2 on my other char

[wet mango]

The ilvl doesn't directly influence the power of the item

[exotic hare]

yea, but not only that, u get far to less gold in this game. I bought all random crossbows with all my money and got 7 times the same fckn bow and its on bolt, i play grenade.

[sacred sail]

@wild nimbus

[snow sierra]

nothing i used a level 8 amulett a level 10 scepter and a level 6 helmed until 60 xD

[sacred sail]

damn monk is insane

[sterile stone]

yeah gear gamble do cost way too much

[exotic hare]

yea but i do less and less dmg now, cruel difficulty is almost impossible

[pseudo plaza]

@sacred sail damn, i was hoping to somehow utilize nodes like Stand Ground and Unbreaking and possible a unique or two that could sustain a self ignite for example

[hexed stream]

does this convert the damage after all the calculation on the base damage or does the 75% apply on the base weapon damage and then after that apply all the fire mods?

[woeful sundial]

i'm a noob so sorry if this is a dumb question. in the ranger passive tree what's the difference between projectile damage and bow damage nodes? does she ever like, smack someone with the bow

[snow sierra]

that one note only works for bows

the other one for projectiles

spells can be projectiles too

[wet mango]

Oh you should be able to find much better

[woeful sundial]

ohh

so all bows are projectiles but not all projectiles are from bows

[wet mango]

Gotta be crafting (or just buy from someone else)

[pseudo plaza]

Gems have tags when you inspect them some have the tag "Bow", others have "Projectile", others have both

[exotic hare]

yea no sht 😂 but the loot is so baaad, i keep playing and looking for bows but no chance right now

[sacred sail]

if I knew a site to looking for unique maybe I can look but i can never find good one

I'm pissed

[wet mango]

Checking shop every level up, transmuting white items, know when to regal/exalt and when to not

[wet mango]

Wdym

[sterile stone]

short answer, you need to scale fire

[wet mango]

You want a database of uniques?

[snow sierra]

not even sure if all bow skills are projectiles didnt look into them mutch^^

[sacred sail]

yes

[wet mango]

poe2db

[sacred sail]

there are tons of them

and they kinda sucks

[sterile stone]

@hexed stream i think basically it converts your base damage

[pseudo plaza]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Unique_item#WeaponUnique
https://poe2db.tw/us/Unique_item#ArmourUnique
https://poe2db.tw/us/Unique_item#OtherUnique

[wet mango]

Tons of unique? Or tons of websites

I dont know what your complaint is

[sacred sail]

nice that's the one I was looking for !

[sacred sail]

website

[sterile stone]

never used avatar of fire, but used 100% phys to lightning conversion

[silk juniper]

there are some pretty good ones tho

[sacred sail]

I just couldn't find the good one

[wet mango]

I literally just told you

Poe2db

[sacred sail]

yeah.

[snow sierra]

I rly need a better mana flask...give me a unique one plx

[sonic urchin]

Would I be better off making a Gemling or a Witch if I want to build a fire/chaos build?

[wet mango]

That's not very specific

[sterile stone]

curse build on gemling? did you consider how much travel nodes you have to take

[hexed stream]

so if i have something like increased phys damage does the phys damage get increased before then conversion or since the conversion happens before the increased/reduced mods those becomes useless

[sacred sail]

not finding good one when i type 😭 I'll keep the other one to not lose it, clicked on so many of them

[wet mango]

Converts after skill conversion, but before modifiers

[snow sierra]

ah travel notes are not this bad at this stage of the game considering how heavy attribut req are to meet sometimes with level 20 gems

[wet mango]

It's .tw

[sterile stone]

any %phys will be useless, the converssion happen at the flat damage

[wet mango]

Poe2db.tw

[sacred sail]

what is .tw for btw ?

[wet mango]

Taiwan

[hexed stream]

ohhh thats what the explenation ment ahhh i see now

[wet mango]

Useless if you convert 100%

[snow sierra]

Gemling if you want to life stack , witch for es imo

[sacred sail]

@pseudo plazacan't find it, all I can find is transforming bleed to fire dmm taken

[hexed stream]

wdum can u elaborate pls?

why 100% should matter

[obtuse zealot]

Hiya! I'm looking at low HP high ES Demonform builds rn, and I wonder...How do they mitigate Poison and Bleed? Do they just use charms? We have like 300 Health and Poison/Bleed just pierce the ES :I Poison duration reduction is ONLY on chest (60%) and ailment reduction is on tree once (10%) so you can't become poison or bleed immune.

[pseudo plaza]

I think a combo of these two can keep self-ignite running, but I cant find enough merit to do it atm

[sterile stone]

bleed can only happen if the hp is damaged, as for poison i would asume they have MoM

[snow sierra]

Bleed should not be a problem cause as far as i know it only procs when you get a hp it

[sacred sail]

oh yeah ! and what about using infernalist ?

[snow sierra]

for poisen charm it is because i doubt you can run MoM with selfcast

[obtuse zealot]

Hm, I see! Thanks

I did not know that, that makes it a lot more managable

[sterile stone]

relying for char is super dicey

who in their right mind

[pseudo plaza]

@sacred sail good point, I was thinking among the lines of a shield Titan that's basically undead but I'll take a look at the infernalist too. haven't delved into that class much

[snow sierra]

ye but kinda hard to fix this poisen problem on a non CI build

[obtuse zealot]

I saw one that went with Pyromantic pact and low health demonform so I was wondering how they fix that

[sacred sail]

never mind ascendancy are impossible to get xD

[obtuse zealot]

but they prolly just...Die to poison then :,)

[sterile stone]

well mom is impossible with pyromatic pact i wanna know as well

[snow sierra]

Well the insane solution would be to go MoM and solve your mana problem somehow^^

[steel tundra]

The one you'd need to self-ignite is within range of the first 2 points

[snow sierra]

like i did with my chrono xD

[spare quartz]

What the shit

[sacred sail]

oh nice

[snow sierra]

because this with MoM is kinda comfy

[spare quartz]

Don't leave ascendancy room after winning to drop off gear, you'll lose the points

[obtuse zealot]

So MoM is basically only a Poisonshield since ES is taken first right?

[sterile stone]

you know, it could be that they just have bad build, theres alot of new people making poe content that i dont trust bcs the of the gold rush

[obtuse zealot]

Yeah totally fair

I might just go stormweaver, fixes a lot of the issues

[snow sierra]

yes but the 50% less reg hurt sooo mutch if you selfcast

[obtuse zealot]

demonform also just seems...annoying :I No weapon is ugh

[obtuse zealot]

Yeah I get that

[sterile stone]

that is a bug

[snow sierra]

No its not

[obtuse zealot]

Is it?

I was under the assumption it's intended

that's why it gives +4 to level

[sterile stone]

eh ive heard so many people saying demon form should still have weapon

saying its a bug rn

[obtuse zealot]

might be a bug I guess, 50% of the info in interviews and all that is just wrong ingame anyway :,)

[snow sierra]

The last info we have from the devs i found was its intended but they may give the demon form spirit so its viable with minions

[alpine pecan]

@barren pineit is good because it has a big chunk of life which is better than any evasion, but you'll have to replace it eventually

[obtuse zealot]

Yeeea I'ma go reroll again. Ugh.

Only in act 2 normal with this witch so no biggie but alas

EA really be limiting our options man, but that was to be expected

will get better with time :>

[sterile stone]

im not rerolling anymore until they buff loot

[snow sierra]

dunno i would assume you can work around the demon form stuff, any build will have weaknesses, but ye demon form isnt that good at its current state

[obtuse zealot]

I don't mind weaknesses

[tawdry parcel]

As Titan ''Resolute Technique'' Don't I need accurate rating right?

[pearl sluice]

dont see that happening anytime soon since they just did that, wish they did something about the respec gold costs

[obtuse zealot]

but I do mind "Oh a poison guess I just explode", I'm very allergic to deaths I can't counterplay, that made finding my fav builds in PoE1 very hard after a while tbf

[snow sierra]

well you could try to find other ways around, or other ways to solve the demon form problem other then the ghostwrithe

[sterile stone]

its so stupid i have to use lv1 staff bcs it has 50% inc dmg and +1, nothing beats it for a whole act, im losing damage and nothing i can do

[obtuse zealot]

I mean, I could also just not stack Demonform as high true

but then it's just worse than having a big staff

[snow sierra]

there is a chest that burns 10% of your mana and regs this mutch but doubt you could make that work^^

Maybe the covenant is spellleech is rly potent

[worn cairn]

hmm if its bugged or what, i have basic skill "Mace strike" and when i add supported gem which increases area damage by 40% , my dps increases, but this skill doesnt do area damage?

[obtuse zealot]

I might just try playing the witch since I just saw that mings give a LOT of chaos res

so who knows maybe poison is less of an issue than I thought

[hexed stream]

is the 103% damage for the normal footsteps?

[sterile stone]

seems to have area tag, and iirc it can hit mutiple targets, only play abit

[obtuse zealot]

Yes, click on "Slam" and "Explosion" for the other attack damages

[light flax]

Is anyone good with Monk skill tree's? I kinda built my own skill tree, but I'm not sure if I've really optimized it well enough for late game content!

[worn cairn]

ah right.. it has aoe

[sonic urchin]

How is Infernalist Minion build at mapping?

[snow sierra]

good

But abit slower thats the downside of minion builds allways you cant zoom zoom that fast

[obtuse zealot]

tanky, ok damage, not fast

[worn cairn]

does infernal cry really boosts basic attack as i havent noticed it that it greatly improved my damage

[obtuse zealot]

that's minions yep

[hexed stream]

on slam it says 300% damage is it again based on the weapon damage or is it the 300% of the 103% of the general stamped damage?

[obtuse zealot]

again based on your weapond mg

[sonic urchin]

Think an Infernalist Minion Fire/Chaos build would work with curses?

[static thicket]

So whats the reason you can't use these together? My cold damage from frost wall will ignite but from nothing else. I have plenty of ignite chance so that shouldnt be the issue.

[magic stag]

Does anybody know tf is going on? My fire resistance is -59%, and I don't understand. I'm at my hideout, not on the map

[snow sierra]

God i meed some rare enemys that are harder to kill then bosses xD

[urban sequoia]

Are melee classes viable in this game at all ?

[snow sierra]

hideout is your maximum map status

so it gives you the values for the maximum resist pentality you can have

i think overall you lose -70 res to all and need to fix it

[magic stag]

is that something i can do? i tried to get a lil bit good with fire resist.

[snow sierra]

yes get better gear^^

[magic stag]

this is really something.

[sterile stone]

i really miss purity of elements

[snow sierra]

well basic gear to fix your res shouldnt cost you more then 1ex per piece

[broken ridge]

is it okay to use PoE2 overwolf?

[snow sierra]

if you dont run alot of unqiue items

[obtuse zealot]

Overwolf is really awful bloatware and has a lotta trackers n shit in it last I checked

it shouldn't be against TOS tho if it's still just an overlay

[broken ridge]

for price checking

[magic stag]

I'm always stuck deciding between damage and resistance. Sometimes, I just don’t want to give up the damage stat

[obtuse zealot]

Ye, pricechecking overlays have historically been fine

no TOS breaks -> no bans or anything

[snow sierra]

i can understand it, can be rly hard...i needed to pay a few 100 ex to fix my res considering the stuff i wanted to wear

but fixing your res should be prio 1 allways

[sterile stone]

the game is balanced around you having 75% resistance

[snow sierra]

And if you get higher in maps even a good bit of chaos res

[magic stag]

So basically, if I wear nothing, all those stats are at -75%? this is so sad. my damage is super over kill and its so satisfiying to clear the whole map, but keep dying with death explosion and some random projectile is fun lmao

[broken ridge]

so it is okay to use it for price checking?

what is bloatware tho?

[obtuse zealot]

You can use it and won't get banned

Bloatware is software that incorporates 318493294 features when all you want is 1

AKA: Windows :^)

Overwolf is very much like that, and it's...Not great. But if you wanna pricecheck and don't mind that it's fine.

[snow sierra]

• 70 i belive and some will have res from you campain abit but yes you need to fix your res if you dont want random deaths

and you need to get them up to 75 again

[magic stag]

yeaaa right! this resist while still have super great offensife stats. am stuck at map 6 so prolly i need to do a lot of stuff to fix this resistance things

[obtuse zealot]

Fixing your res doesn't mean your gear will be worse off offensively mind you

Resistances are on suffixes on armor, most of which are JUST utility and resistance/defensive stats.

[snow sierra]

well it normaly dos if you dont wanna pay 100-200ex for a item

[obtuse zealot]

you don't need resists on your weapon or on EVERY slot at max power, just enough to be capped and that still allows you to have plenty of dps

[magic stag]

can you give me simple example a good offensive gear with "ok" defensive stats. i kinda confused by the number, cz sometimes i saw like 15 maximum life, and 150 maximum life on a single piece of gear like helmet maybe

[obtuse zealot]

~90+ max life should be on every bit of gear if you're life based for sure.
Then also have 1-2 resists

[snow sierra]

could be better that the spirit would break my bank

[obtuse zealot]

prefixes, depends on your defense

if armor based, big armor is nice. Same for Evasion.
Energy shield cares a lot more aboutbig # of energy shield since it's your health replacement as Chaos Innoculation.

[magic stag]

i played monk, maybe i can show here my ass stats lmao wait

[snow sierra]

And remeber % increases to you dmg are not as good a you think on gear, if you have alot from the tree

[magic stag]

okkk

[snow sierra]

so offensive stats on gear are often a premium you just get when you are ritch an min maxing your gear
