2┃build-planning

[rain plover]

As silly as it might sound, to verify if it's a bug, remove everything and only equip bell, and see if you can build combo

[pale vine]

Toxic Growth isn't a good example ... it isn't poisoning directly

[rain plover]

if you still can't build combo, then I would submit it

[wraith fox]

yeah true

burst of poison on hit

there you go

[pale vine]

yep, that's a good example

[wraith fox]

what i think is kinda weird is that they show the chaos marker on poison dmg, but unless you read about the poison tooltip you'll know it doesnt scale with poison dmg

could be misleading

maybe add a poison tag instead

[pale vine]

Poison damage is Chaos damage

[wraith fox]

I know, but a lot of people dont know that

and it doesnt scale off of chaos dmg modifiers anymore

[pale vine]

that's fair, I had to look up Poison before I understood it

[wraith fox]

exactly

[hollow perch]

If I equip this node on weapon set one, inflict ignite and then swap to weaon set two, do we know if the resstance drop is snapshotted for the ignite or not?

[pale vine]

yeah, Poison scales off the attack that applied it ... the pre-mitigation physical+chaos ... so modifers to attack increase poison ... and modifiers to magnitude increase poison damage

[wraith fox]

yep

poison magnitude + physical dmg

which is why i believe having a poison tag instead could alleviate some misunderstandings

[viral dragon]

Oi lads.

the Poison grenade has 3 sources of damage, Impact, poison Cloud and Explosion.

impact i understand, its the damage applied when the grenades pop and release their gas.
i THOUGHT the "poison Cloud" is the Poison Dot applied, but that remains unaffected if i increase/decrease the Poison magnitude, so i figured "well guess the Poison Cloud itself does damage and i cant see it becaus eit puts the poison DOT on the target too"
so i turned the gas damage into physical (which doesnt apply poisoned dot) turns out: the gascloud doesnt do damage at all, its only the poison Dot applied by the cloud,

since the Dots damage changes (poison magnitude) doesnt affect the Damage number in the Skilltree through: what Does?

what affects "Poison Cloud" damage calculation and how is it applied?

[uncut burrow]

doesnt seem like making a chaos spell build would be that good then

[pale vine]

I like it as it means that a physical resistant or chaos resistant is only resistant to about 1/2 of what I'm throwing out

[pale vine]

my current understanding is that while it does not Hit, it applies poison as if it did at the Attack Modifier in the skill description

[wheat elk]

Want to do a Snipe + Toxic Growth build. I am currently playing a Pathfinder and ye it feels nice. But I feel both Snipe and Toxic Growth would thrive more in a non poison environment. Toxic Growth itself does not scale with poison at all outside of a critical mass to make them pop and Snipe I feel is missing a big oomph by trying to make it poison. I feel either Chayula Monk (Reality rending) or Deadeye (Frenzy for barrage snipes) would fit better. Now which one I dont know. Trying to get an idea from some other people around here c:

[pale vine]

so at whatever your physical + chaos damage would be for the attack multiplied by whatever the Attack Damage modifier is for the skill

[viral dragon]

that it does, but the Hit doesnt do damage (changed damagetype to physical so it doesnt apply the poison Dot, but it also doesnt do damage on itself)

the number also isnt affected by the Poison Magnitude multiplier, so it doesnt seem to refer to the Poison Dot's damage either

[pale vine]

correct, it just applies the Poison at a rate as if it had done damage

and then the different modifiers for poison (i.e. Magnitude and Duration) kick in

[viral dragon]

so if it doesnt apply tot he poison dot, and the cloud itself doesnt do damage, only applies the Dot, then what does it affect?

[viral dragon]

they dont though :D

thats what i thought too it would do, but the number is unaffected by magnitude Nodes in the perktree

[pale vine]

I'm not following ... must have missed something ... my poison clouds have been ripping things even before I started to blow them up with igniting enemies with firewall

are you sure magnitude is not affecting your poison cloud? how are you testing it?

[viral dragon]

mine too, but the number marked on the screenshot doesnt change based on poison magnitude, so it doesnt display the poison Dot damage it displayes some other spurce of damage. but the cloud itself doesnt do damage. im trying to fing out what this number refers to

[twilit cairn]

guys, as a warrior, how can i sustain using blood magic so i dont have to think about mana ??
i am playing totems mainly.

[near jewel]

guys, has anyone found any use for Ancestral SPirits in Warbringer ascendency

[pale vine]

I see ... so magnitude might be but the UI element is potentially displaying incorrectly

[wheat elk]

See im trying to figure out what actually effects plants

Like

[pale vine]

Regen % Life per second ?

[wheat elk]

can a plant be poisoned multiple times

[viral dragon]

Magnitude affects the damage done by the poison Dot.
but the Number displayed for "poison Cloud" doesnt change when i add/remove magnitude Nodes in the Skilltree. so that number displayed is not the poison magnitude even though it looks like that what it should be

[twilit cairn]

is that the only way / the way to do it ?

[pale vine]

Perhaps it's related to the explosion of the cloud ?

[viral dragon]

narp, thats the number in the box below that on the screenshot labled "Explosion"

[pale vine]

If going to spend health to cast, you need to replenish health ... so Health Regen, Life Leech, and Flask are your options

[woeful steppe]

how do i check the crit chance of my attacks? using lightning arrow deadeye rn

[fiery sable]

Guys, I'm a ranger and I want a second weapon set just to cast curse and mark. Can you think of anything that would scale those things? could be duration, Area of Effect or curse and mark effect. Otherwise I'll go for higher AS

[viral dragon]

and "impact" the box above the marked one refers to the damage done by the grenade the moment it pops open to release the gas

[woeful steppe]

to gauge if its worth going for crit chance nodes

[twilit cairn]

how can i get life leech?

[uncut burrow]

can curses put enemy resistances into the negatives?

[pale vine]

prefix on some items ... are also some passive nodes that give it

[hollow perch]

weapon, amulet rings and slotted rnes

[viral dragon]

so i have Impact damage
some random number unaffected by Poison magnitude
explosiondamage

and the damage done by the poison dot is not displayed.

trying to figure out what the mysterious number refers to

[twilit cairn]

ok so i just need 1 item with "life leech x % of phys dmg" and then increase nodes from the passive tree from there ?

[pale vine]

Will probably have to find someone using XBow w/ Poison ... I'm using Bow w/ Poison on a Pathfinder

[hollow perch]

yeah

[pale vine]

I don't know how much you'll need, you'll have to play around with that yourself

but you should be able to estimate at initially given how hard you hit and seeing how much skills will cost in health per cast

[twilit cairn]

totems are 140 mana pr cast and i kinda spam them ;<

[sharp pike]

I'm playing gas grenade build, what's the question?

[stray breach]

making myself smaller version of pob with passive tree, items and etc, just made a code to parse passive tree stats auto and calc avg damage base on provided base spark dmg, mana, int.

[potent swift]

If I take Psychic Fragmentation, will it try to trigger for each ember on Ember fusillade?

[viral dragon]

see the screenshot?

the marked number. im trying to figure out what it refers to.

its unaffected by Poison magnitude multiplies in the Skilltree, so it doesnt refer to the Poison Dot.

but the cloud itself without applying the poison dot, doesnt do damage by itself.

it doesnt refer to the initial damage applied when the gas pops out (thats impact) nor the detonation of the gascloud (thats Explosion)

trying to figure out what this number refers to

[twilit cairn]

does "inc life regen" passiv nodes also improve Life Leech ??

[frozen plume]

hey can someone suggest a weird build for a class that isn't witch, archer, or merc? I'm making a new char to play with some friendcs

anything people have been having a lot of fun with?

[sharp pike]

Ah, right. At a guess I'd say that's the expected poison damage per application (the cloud just constantly reaplies it, but the debuff itself lingers for the standard poison duration)

[hollow perch]

scaling strength on merc gemling legionaire with two handedmaces

[hollow perch]

has been superfun for me

[viral dragon]

thang is, that would mean it should thange if i add/remove Poison Magnitude Nodes in the skilltree. which it doesnt

[sharp pike]

I do know the poison is quite strong since I run corrosion and I can see how quickly it stacks up armour break.

[narrow prawn]

okay here's what i was thinking of doing so far, going for crit ignite focus, mind over matter + battery and arcane surge. was gonna use avatar of fire initially to try burning with comet but eh, gonna explore flameblasting instead
dont need hyper optimization just kind of a sanity check would be neat
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/i81pq0lf

[frozen plume]

ah i have a merc i'll have to try that on

[sudden raptor]

is it me or does srs not work with minion instability? they seem to just die like normal instead of exploding.

[sharp pike]

Maybe a bug then? I don't run poison magnitude on it - I rely on the explosion for the damage.

[nimble fiber]

Just tested: If you add Snipers Mark to Hand of Chayula and apply it with a crit you get a charge instantly

[sharp pike]

So I've never noticed

My gas grenade is Corrosion + Comorbid + persistence + armour explosion

It's my sweep setup

[feral flame]

i made a small makeshift passive tree through mobanalytics website , if someone has ever used that planner do they know how to link that tree here ?

[frozen plume]

any funny sorc stuff? i got a level 2 sorc lol

[sharp pike]

Might change persistence to magnified though

[narrow prawn]

any input is welcome if ppl wanna peek at it

[feral flame]

or is there a poe2 passive tree planner anywhere else ?

[vivid ferry]

Why do most people think this is a good rune? 2% max life is like 60 hp when I have 3.5k hp - seems just ok
I'd put 5% all ele res and 7% chaos res runes above this.

[narrow prawn]

theres maxroll, mobalytics, and poe2db

[vivid ferry]

much easier to get 60 extra hp than 15% all ele res and 7% chaos

[hollow perch]

id say the mayor part of why the weapon portion is good ios the fact that the recovery is instant

one of very few ways to instantly recover hp

[feral flame]

wait is there a stash tab sale going on rn ?

[vivid ferry]

the weapon seems good, armour seems meh

[feral flame]

or is it goign to happen in 18 hrs

[hollow perch]

only way to get hp through slots I suppose

but yeah seems worse than other suff

[vivid ferry]

regret the rune slots on my armour. im also not sure how I feel about % increase armour

[hollow perch]

same. chest armor scales damage for me but Imso relucant tocommit to any rune because I have to balance i vs resistance if I swap gear

So just have 2 open slots atm lol

though 20% increase is a lot

[rain plover]

I have a feeling at some point they will make a currency that dissolves runes and just have it be super rare

[twilit cairn]

does this node reduce my life instead of mana, when i got blood magic ??

[vivid ferry]

armour feels good up until a certain point. I still get one shotted by certain mobs and that feels bad.
I wonder if this will ever be decent.

cant go wrong with all ele or chaos imo

theyre also going to nerf the monster crit dmg so it might become more irelevant

[mystic shard]

can you level up lower level items? I heard u could

[feral flame]

https://poe2db.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/AAAABgkAe-oLCZe9zDMZrj0fnJd7ryS4Lt5O5pSg-qo6wfn4JuL98C84BGeYaKJJwqUK2zb-mEBktu5J6_IYQt70LpeeGFYD-1MaD5swF_p3VqyXa2zT32ZTvq_tJggq9u_U3fLIiKmf-ozSzTAxFK8XSdWTLDO-zq4W5b7HaNn6XJYOhU4erY4blqiTQSi8CYRffBP_vIKHGCLfbA5MZBNFJrcilj-3J0iItgk4Lw-RHWZURBoEmIo23YQ4uj0lAEuNCbbeCTQdSBP3F5FGjA-O9K_VbtI6lbrwfzHKcSPMNYxjqbTYS45rZZZPTHVLWISa34ta21lQhRr31QAA

made this rough build on my passive tree for a merc build with galvanic shard would like some opinoins on it

[ornate hollow]

This jsut dropped- best way to max value out of this?

[atomic juniper]

I got lucky and got a greater jeweler's orb at the end of act 3.

I got inspiration for mana, concentrated effect, and martial tempo. What should be the 4th? On ice strike

[zinc quarry]

Im currently in early act 3 running Raxx's lightning deadeye rogue, but I want to try out this build from Moxsy as well...would it be foolish to try this build while still leveling, or would it be viable around level 45 also?

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/88gmc0ha

[stiff grotto]

Anyone know how to get distilled disgust?

[frosty arrow]

make some cereal with orange juice. That outta do it

[ornate hollow]

delirium maps

[untold patio]

My warrior friends, are you also experiencing that devastate does not work on boneshatter?

[solemn island]

Support gems don't have level requirements, right? So as long as you meet any stat requirements you could put a lvl 3 support on a level character?

[hollow perch]

yup

if ou have them

[solemn island]

Good way to get a certain build going early

[tired citrus]

What is the benefit of dual wielding weapons as a warrior if i lose 30% of dmg on skills ? isnt it just better to use a shield then ? is it just good for autoattacks ?

[hollow perch]

no you dont lose 30% you get the damage of both-30%

[solemn island]

No, since you're still dealing 70% of each weapon's damage

[tired citrus]

hmm the window does say my dmg of the skill is way lower

[static plinth]

You're dealing 140% the damage of if you just used a 1 hander

[tired citrus]

mby it is bugged then ?

[static plinth]

But both your weapons need to actually be good

[solemn island]

The dps screen isn't the best to see damage numbers on

[hollow perch]

yeah. Best way to utilise it is likey deal elemental damage with attacks on both or something similar

[solemn island]

Mine says my Sunder does 5k dps, but hit a boss with it and it did 700k damage to it

[hollow perch]

sery answered wrong message but yeah

[tired citrus]

I ve got these two weapons and when i just unequip the right hand weapon, my sunder dmg goes up by 800

[hollow perch]

sunder is weird bcs its not a dmg increase it just attacks faster

[twilit cairn]

any1 know this ??

[stiff grotto]

do I need to use emotions on the waystone itself or just use a delirium mirror on a map? I keep getting the same 4 from mirrors

maybe just unlucky

[solemn island]

It's probably only seeing the damage of the main hand weapon, and seeing the reduction from dual wielding

[mystic shard]

Crimson power from blood mage.

I know its energy shield from gear.

but would it then affect THAT ENERGY SHIELD, increased by % increasing talents from the passive?

[median kraken]

Pretty sure no. Blood.Magic doesn't turn your mana into life, it just changes costs into life and makes it so you have no mana

[twilit cairn]

how do i get more Charm slots?? only got 1 atm and im lvl 71

[brisk crystal]

guys. just finished the campaign, im at level 52 sorceress. I got destroyed by the 1st mobs on cruel. is it normal or my resistances just suck??

[solemn island]

Sounds about right

[median kraken]

Do you mean would it be affected by mods to ES? I don't think so. Conversion in PoE2 is no longer modified pre-conversion. When you turn energy shield into something else, mods that scale energy shield won't affect it.

[livid hamlet]

It's the get node where you get ES from body armor as life ?

[solemn island]

They like difficulty spikes between acts

[mystic shard]

It says, at least on the skill calculator Im on, that blood magic (not from witch) removes all mana.

[brisk crystal]

oh, okay then. do you know how many resistances % should i focus?

[median kraken]

That is correct

[keen flint]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/tree/2x2yt0bx/4 guys what is better for end game and what is the difference, block based or focus based ?

[solemn island]

What are they at? They get reduced 10% between acts, cumulatively, I might add

[brisk crystal]

i could manage to finish the campaign with almost no resistances due my Minions Tanking the damage and rolling lol

should i aim for +30% each?

[solemn island]

I mean, end goal would be to try and get them as high as you can, I think I entered act 4 with about 20 in each after the reduction

[static plinth]

You want 75% on each, ideally

[solemn island]

So doesn't sound bad, how's your life situation?

[brisk crystal]

got it !!!

right now is awful. My minions are saving me lol

[solemn island]

Yeah, should work on defensive abilities then as well

[brisk crystal]

will do it !

ty

[mystic shard]

ok thx guys

[solemn island]

Not sure if you're going dual stats or single, but would also look into getting more level appropriate armour/weapons

[keen flint]

any help ?

[wraith fox]

sup

idk anything about this build. but Block based uses a shield, and focus based uses a focus

Foci are kinda like magic based shields. They dont give any block or armor, but can roll spell based modifiers and energy shield

and yes, the plural of focus is foci

[frosty arrow]

focuseses

[wraith fox]

FOCI

[keen flint]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/bombarding-minions-infernalist-build-guide

this is the build, it will cost me kinda a looot of gold to revamp it so is it worth ?

i was doing the leveling up build

i'm now at Act 2 the 2nd diffeculty

[pearl sluice]

any good ideas on how to get more spirit? i havnt hit act 3 yet and mabye i have bad rng but i have no gear with spirit

[grizzled mulch]

any idea why this gives only 6% for me? its consistently 6% doesnt seem like it matters how much evasion rating i have. if this was poe1 this wording would just give flat 8% and it would show 8% in character sheet

anyone else tried that node?

[pearl sluice]

support gem Magnified effect applies to blasphemy? because the 120% cost multiplier doesnt seem ot apply to spirit, however i can socket the support gem ....

[sullen dagger]

can someone tell me if casting fire spells too quickly will cause srs to not work properly by overwriting the minions too quickly

[quick eagle]

The test is look at the stats for your curse. See if slotting magnify increased your curse radius

[brisk crystal]

i have another question. Ive chose Chronomancer did i fukked up? 2nd does Mana/MOM Builds are still Good ? any guide for a good one avaiable?

[pearl sluice]

funny seem to work

thanks

that will probably get patched anyway

[hollow perch]

spirit st multiplies are explicit, so it ould say resrvation cost multiåplier in that case

[pearl sluice]

yeah, i guess its a free ride for a while

it applies the aoe at no cost

[hollow perch]

the cost is that your suport gem does no effect increase right, in heory

so you get oe but you lose out on potnetial dmg

[pearl sluice]

well yes

[hollow perch]

though in this case thts no matter so maybe it will get nerfed idk

[hollow perch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht4wx5C1jWs&ab_channel=subtractem

[sullen dagger]

does anyone know? its kind of a problem with fire ball

[sonic peak]

you can still do either recoup archmage or hammer of the gods CD shenanigans

[hollow perch]

Does firebolt from dusk vigil not have a mana cost?!

or I guess maye the ember fusilade triger costs mana?

[pearl sluice]

someone tested energy barrier? does it actually start to recharge you? ive tried it with blasphemy, doenst seem to work, yet u can socket it

or this is more for like active skills?

[brisk crystal]

yo thats looks awesome, thanks !

[brisk crystal]

thanks bro i didnt knew about recoup Oo

[rich oasis]

What's the biggest single target dps skill for spells?

[wraith fox]

Quick question, when allocating points into the different weapon sets, and only using X skills using that weapon set. Do totems snapshot from the weaponset theyre cast from or whats the thing there

im using corrupting cry + totems on weapon set 2

and i hope the interaction is what i believe

where it snapshots the weapon set it was casted from

[sonic peak]

pretty sure it does

[hollow perch]

im workng on a build with the same swap concept and it seems like the snapshot based on what I was able to search up

havent ben able to test yet though

[zinc quarry]

How does Tailwinid work? Is it a skill gem I need to unclock, or does it just come as a passive from ascendancy? I dont see it in skills.

[median kraken]

Tailwin is a passive buff, not a skill

[wraith fox]

i would assume so too, but you know EA and all

[wheat elk]

Want to do a Snipe + Toxic Growth build. I am currently playing a Pathfinder and ye it feels nice. But I feel both Snipe and Toxic Growth would thrive more in a non poison environment. Toxic Growth itself does not scale with poison at all outside of a critical mass to make them pop and Snipe I feel is missing a big oomph by trying to make it poison. I feel either Chayula Monk (Reality rending improving both Growth and Snipe) or Deadeye (Frenzy for barrage snipes, extra projectiles etc) would fit better. Now which one I dont know. Trying to get an idea from some other people around here c:

[sonic peak]

it's because it's "more" instead of "increased"
in this case, I think you can see the calcuation as:

base evasion = 80
melee evasion = 80 + (80 * 0.08)

[wraith fox]

someone said increase is additive, and more is multiplicative

[sonic peak]

its consistently 6% doesnt seem like it matters how much evasion rating i have
oh wait, that doesn't make sense then

[vague kelp]

this works with fireball?

[pearl sluice]

why is leech so week in poe 2?

i expected 10% spell leech to be quite good, yet its barely enough for sustain health cost xD

feels more like 0.5% leech

definitely not 10%

[wraith fox]

take leech nodes

and do more dmg

:)

[pearl sluice]

why does it write 10% then though?,

[median kraken]

Enemies have a leech resistance stat

[wraith fox]

10% of your dmg

[rich creek]

Can dual wielding shields be effective?

[wraith fox]

you can dual wield shields?

[sonic peak]

your question should be 'why does bloodmage sucks' :)

[frail garnet]

what mana flask m ods are deadeyes looking for? instant recovery? increased amount recovered? LA/LR/BL

[pearl sluice]

yeah, gore spike seems like its not working aswell.... no dmg added

idk

[glass swallow]

does avatar of fire prevent you from life/mana leech? the only leech im seeing always says based on physical damage

[sonic peak]

they really need to add something like reduced spell mana cost to the first node

20% would be fair IMO

[median kraken]

I don't think you can dual wield shields

[fiery sable]

Which bonuses we have for increased maximum energy shield (from all sources?)
Is the amulet affix for total?

[tidal totem]

When spark gets inevitably nerfed to the ground, do you all reckon it will affect arc too?

[median kraken]

Spark seems like it's more a vehicle for other powerful things than insanely powerful itself

[pearl sluice]

how good is +additional stun threshold mods?

[hollow galleon]

Does patch come out today?

[wicked rain]

What things benefit from attack speed. I don't see a lot of on hit effects? Had fun lowering my skill use for auto attack to 0.15 but unsure how to add dmg that benefit from it

[waxen shore]

Hello.
I just recently got Sorceress ascension Stormweaver.

However i am affaid i dont fully understand skills:

• Constant Gale
• Force of Will

The first one makes Arcane Surge permanent?
And the second basicly divides my max mana by 15 and adds result% to Arcane Surge?

[median kraken]

I don't think we know

[median kraken]

Essentially, yes. First one gives permanent arcane surge so you don't have to get it from anywhere else, which gives a base of 10% more cast speed and 20% more mana regen. The second one increases that effect based on your max mana, so basically every 150 max mana will give an extra 1% cast speed and 2% mana regen

[twilit cairn]

warrior question; can totems life leech ?? i use shockwave totems.

[zinc quarry]

hmmm, worth?

[waxen shore]

150 or 15?
I am basing this on the internet, not in the right now

But every 150 mana giving 1% is still nice.

[median kraken]

150 would be 10% increased effect, which would be 1% cast speed and 2% mana regen

[waxen shore]

Ahhhhh.

Right

[brisk crag]

Wanting to do some kind of fireball frost wall build, you all think stormweaver or bloodmage better option?

[waxen shore]

Thanks @median kraken

[median kraken]

I'm doing it as stormweaver using the unique gloves that convert fire to cold and it's working well. It doesn't synergize as well with mana stacking as lightning builds and it's harder to go crit, but the Stormweaver exposure node is crazy for cold builds because you can get a lot of exposure effect

No idea if Blood Mage is better, it can have the potential for high crit chance or tons of life but it does have to deal with life management

[pearl sluice]

is there a way to get spell mana leech?

[median kraken]

I don't think so

Very few ways to get any sort of leech for spells

[pearl sluice]

k

and arcane surge?

well theres gem, but maybe any other? or thats it?

for evasion should you prioritize % or +#

[twilit cairn]

does nodes likes this benefit life leech or only "life regen pr sec" ?? (does it also benefit life recouped and life block on shield etc.) ?

[rain plover]

do SRS attacks count as "attacks" when it comes to gear like "Adds x to x fire damage to attacks" ??

[cobalt musk]

I believe leech and life on block counts as regen, I don't think recoup counts as regen

[hollow galleon]

Evasion is such a weird stat....you can only evade certain things and if u get hit ure like paper doll if ure investing heavily on evasion

Point in case u need nodes that convert evasion to something else for it to be good

[cobalt musk]

welcome to dex builds

[torn mist]

What do you all think of a Sorceress (Chronomancer) as an Ice based Quarterstaff/Bell (monk skills) build? Energy shield as primary defense

[hollow galleon]

Yeah I'm playing monk and I kinda hate evasion

But then again everything tells me I need to stack evasion and convert that shit

[cobalt musk]

evasion is fine if you have other forms of mitigation for the case you do get hit. things like ghost dance and wind dancer and stuff

the problem with poe2 is that we don't have a lot of layered defences yet so evasion sucks in a vacuum

[hollow galleon]

Yeah but I'm over level 60 and don't have much spirit yet...which is for herald of frost and combat frenzy

[cobalt musk]

gotta sacrifice ig

would you rather kill things in 1 hit or get killed in 1 hit

[hollow galleon]

Kill things in one hit lol

[cobalt musk]

problem solved

[hollow galleon]

Actually im just waiting for next trials and get a body armor with stupid amounts of evasion so then I can grab spirit from that

But thats what I mean even the ascendancy just uses evasion to convert to other things like armor and spirit

It's a silly stat IMO

[rocky pilot]

just get enough evasion to grab acrobatics.

[abstract grove]

Made a fun titan build if anyone wants to take a look:
#1318667496647032842 message

[hollow galleon]

Unless u can stack evasion to 99% it's too unreliable unless u can convert it

Since 1 hit = dead

[rocky pilot]

evasion is not unreliable... it uses entropy to guarantee you will evade according to its percent

[cobalt musk]

we don't have trickster

[rocky pilot]

the reality is you need enough life ot survive your one hit. and then move on and heal. its pretty fine with Acrobatics

we have trickster

[hollow galleon]

Yeah but now we live in a game with little ways to gain health

No health nodes like PoE1

[rocky pilot]

the HP you need really isn't that much depending on the build. but you do need to realistically decide whether you'll be ES or Life

[hidden perch]

guys, some body armours say "+40 to maximum energy shield", is that included in the value shown at the top on the body armour? Because when I filter by minimum 100ES, let's say, on PoE2 trade, I get armours that have the value at the top less than 100, but have + to maximum energy shield, so it makes me think it's not included

[rocky pilot]

most evasion builds very easily pull off ghost dance by simply taking the 2 trickster nodes in front of monk.
You can also go Evasion + Life if you have a reason to stack str. like crossbows

[marble tulip]

Does the bottom few skills +10projectile dmg do drastic dmg output for projectile sorc?

[hollow galleon]

Losing 70% evasion seems too big a hit if DoTs can still kill u...id rather sacrifice 40% from invoker to get high armor

[rocky pilot]

it is included. if you filter for 100 ES minimum and you get armors under that. it is because with Quality, they will hit 100 ES

[fast eagle]

Ok need help.
running CI, MOM, Eldritch Battery with everlasting gaze as archmage.
When CI is alocated i randomly die when my ES and Mana go below 50% hp
Anyone knows whats happening.
I know its not a mob cus it on the chat says ''Character has commited suicide''

[hidden perch]

ok, ty

[gritty junco]

can you apply exposure on top of doryani's? or does it just set lightning resist to yours and exposure on top is useless?

[hollow galleon]

Not that armor helps against DoTs but maybe i wont get one shotted lol

[rocky pilot]

i believe exposure will do nothing yeah

[gritty junco]

oh nice, i can take that support out then LOL

[rocky pilot]

you might be casting something thats using your life

[glass iron]

what does this mean on these skills?

[fast eagle]

I just realized whats happening
my mana potion has 15% taken from life and thats what kills me xd

[snow ridge]

Is blasphemy really worth using when it has 45% less effect and I can just have a second weaponset only for applying curses?

[rocky pilot]

its for convenience

[snow ridge]

I feel like it would be worth it if not for the weaponset thing

[twin sierra]

evasion is very strong actually

[grand gorge]

for warrior, is armour > evasion rating ?

[twin sierra]

but if you want it to be a main defensive layer, you need something like acro or monk pdr node etc

[snow ridge]

having a 2nd set of passives where you can put a bunch of points into +curse and only use it when applying curses makes blasphemy just feel... bad. cause youre sacrificing more like 66% of the curses potential to use it

rather than 45%

[sonic peak]

isn't acro just for AOEs?

[silver geode]

does anyone here know if heart of the storm works together with CI, or does it need to be damage to life?

[hollow galleon]

Also I'm finding it very hard to do a spellblade of some sort. Attack skills require attack damage bonuses...but then if u cast an elemental spell it requires spell damage. And guess how many nodes actually improve ur spell damage while using a melee weapon? Yeah, like 3 or 4. Oh but what if u switch to a spell staff to cast a spell...sure that would work if it didnt disable passives like herald of frost that require melee weapon.
Like dude....what is this illusion of choice lol.

[sonic peak]

you'll need to survive 1 hit of those anyway, and most bosses don't spam them, so you can heal in-between

acro sounds really bad

[rocky pilot]

AoEs and something else. but AoEs/slams are super common right now

[twin sierra]

aoe and everything in the game yes

acro is extremely strong

[snow ridge]

oh you can evade spells by default?

or do you need acro

[rocky pilot]

you can't feasibly do evasion with nothing else without taking acrobatics. the slams and ground explosions are super common

[twin sierra]

can evade spells by default

[still rock]

Magnitude only affects buildup, duration is a separate stat

[snow ridge]

oh dayum

[rocky pilot]

in PoE 2 evasion now dodges spells by default yeah

[sonic peak]

can't you already evade spells with ER if they're projectiles?

ah, you were answering the other guy

mb xD

[snow ridge]

i mean if youre doing an elemental damage type as your main attack then there are a ton of +ele and +specific element nodes all across the tree, and lots of +skill speed near monk

[rocky pilot]

its not an "illusion of choice" there are no spellblade ascendancies implemented right now. and theres no support for it on the tree.

[snow ridge]

there's a bit of support, but the ascendencies is the big thing

[rocky pilot]

theres also no skills/weapons that imply you would be doing spellblade right now

[hollow galleon]

Yeah i just was disappointed that heralds require melee and some other stuff

[still rock]

Energy Blade is in the game somewhere

just not out rn

[hollow galleon]

What does energy blade do? Is there a quarterstaff energy blade?

[snow ridge]

when Templar+Druid+Shadow get added there will probably be WAY more possiblities

there are so many playstyles from poe1 that just arent supported right now because the vast majority of melee skills are not in the game yet

[shut garnet]

which venom vail rewards do I want for a lightning ranger (deadeye)? I think 10% chaos resist for the cruel one. What about the first?

[still rock]

In PoE 1 it was a sword of pure energy you generated that had weapon damage stats based on your overall energy shield

[lyric wagon]

Guys it's possible to get Decompose skill gem?

[hoary plover]

no. only from the boots

[static plinth]

Probably with Templar

[sonic peak]

just making sure, but 'added X cold dmg to attacks' does not apply to spells, right?

[atomic halo]

correct

[silver geode]

find it hard to judge, but does this work with CI?

[atomic halo]

yes

[silver geode]

i'm struggling with random mobs with CI in T1 maps, some normal mobs with crossbows seem to hit like a truck, assume that is just physical damage?

[vernal lion]

tempted to do something fun with this

[hollow galleon]

There is a little support...some nodes that add spell damage when using quarterstaff

Tbh I wish monks could whack things with spell staves. I mean...why not amirite lol

[echo charm]

Sup guys. I switched over to Giants blood to run Sword and board. I however suddenly cant use my lvl 15 Hammer of the gods. Its well under my 243 strenght level tho. Is there some feature im not aware about? I can however run my lvl 14 Hammer. Im now holding back about upping all my skills to 16s

[hollow galleon]

It's a stick. Of wood.

[tacit turtle]

How to see your "base" energy shield? ie what gets converted to eldritch battery

[gentle wedge]

how much faster start of shield recharge is enough?
is it worth going more than 2 sec reduction?

[ripe edge]

how do i convert the rest of my physical damage to fire other than Avatar of Fire?

[hidden perch]

what was the site you could upload your build to?

[sage jungle]

Skills have innate conversion too

30-40% on average

[daring bobcat]

maxroll ?

[hidden perch]

yeah, ty

[grave spire]

Does attack speed make Ice Strike attack faster? Or does it only speed up normal quarter staff attacks?

[twilit cairn]

what does Allocates Flashy Deflection mean ?

[indigo valley]

can anyone tell me why isn't this working when I have CI ?

[daring bobcat]

Necklaces can give passive skill points. Flashy deflection is a passive

[twilit cairn]

ohh, sick. thanks

[wraith fox]

So i bought this shield from the store as a white item

and i transmuted, auged, regal and exalted it to this

wtf

[small tiger]

Can curses like contagion crit?

[tidal totem]

For sorc leveling until mana tempest, am I best off investing in minion damage and going flamewall+SRS?

[indigo valley]

only hits can crit

[rugged kraken]

so this is just infanately better then the chronomancer one that gives us like 50% cast speed every 12 seconds for 4 seconds

[spark bronze]

Is there no way to get quality on concoctions for pathfinder?

[hidden perch]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/7f2ok0m9

[agile moat]

Anyone have a good COTB sparkmage guide?

[hidden perch]

guys can anyone help me fix my survivability issues? I've got 1.5k ES

[terse escarp]

do yall think an infernalist using fire only (from leveling to endgame) is possible? my friend is almost level 50 farming for regen to stay in demon form but complains about his lack of dps. is it most likely his gear/passives? or are fire spells alone not great for leveling

[median kraken]

In the experimenting I've done fire spells are in an awkward spot. Fireball can do decent damage but needs frost wall to shotgun, it's awful in a lot of areas by itself. Firestorm felt week to me, Ember Fusilade is clunky, haven't tried flameblast, flame wall is strong but it's more or a supplemental skill

[alpine summit]

trade website down?

[unkempt leaf]

is there any point to these critical chance and crit dmg bonus while playing lightning monk, if not i will get my points back from them

[terse escarp]

yeah my friend essentially echoes what you're saying, hes excited to try the last fire spell (idk the name) but i do kinda feel bad that he wants to specialize and just use ONLY fire spells but if its just too "bad" he just feels unmotivated which I can understand

and like you mentioned, since he doesnt have the last fire spell unlocked hes gated to using the other ones that felt subpar

[daring bobcat]

Max out resistances

[hidden perch]

I've got 101% fire, 100% cold and 89% lightning

[tacit turtle]

How to see your "base" energy shield? ie what gets converted to eldritch battery

[agile moat]

no you don't lol they only go to 90%

[median kraken]

Usually they only go up to 75% unless you have something that raises your max resists

[lunar dome]

yes he is saying he is capped

[hidden perch]

no, I've got 101% resistance that's at 75%, and if there's an elemental curse that gives you -15%, I'd still be at 75%

[lunar dome]

🤦

[frosty scarab]

Which ascendancy for Merc? I like throwing granades

[hidden perch]

ty

[median kraken]

Yeah, maybe there's a better way to do it, but I've been playing fireball but as a cold build and it's worked well

[zinc quarry]

So Herald of Thunder is saying I don't have enough spirit...It costs 30, I have 30, I have nothing else using spirit. Whyyyyy?

[atomic halo]

you have supports socketed in it

[cyan forum]

the support* gems you have probably cost spirit

[zinc quarry]

hmmm

[terse escarp]

so you think I should just tell him to use the ice wall and shoot his fireball into it?

[zinc quarry]

youre right i need 40

[tidal copper]

[terse escarp]

at this point he just needs to be able to level up and he doesnt like how killing a boss takes him like 2 minutes lol

[pliant pebble]

I just switched to a fireball ice wall build on sorc, and I'm realizing this may not be fun for others when I party up with friends. Any experience with this?

[agile moat]

That's what I did while leveling sorc, frost wall +fireball

Kinda clunky and annoying if you block yourself but it works

[cyan forum]

so is there an expectation that you should be getting oneshot even with capped res's and high evasion as a monk? I have acrobatics with 66% evasion and im still dying randomly in tier 5/6 maps

[median kraken]

Try it out, it's felt fun for me. Personally I'm basically playing a cold build with fireball as my main spell. Using unique gloves to convert fire to cold.

[agile moat]

Yep that's the thing about evasion lmao, it works great until it doesn't

[cyan forum]

great

[median kraken]

I don't really play in parties but I can see it, between filling the entire screen with fireballs and blocking people with walls

[hot ridge]

@echo vale What build are you using? Or at least what ascension class?

[tidal copper]

Average PoE experience
Back to the spreadsheet see to be tankier

[echo vale]

I'm a gemling legionaire.

[agile moat]

I'm confused, I've got like 100+ ex in my sorc and I've got 3.4k es, 3.2k mana. I have no clue how these other sparkmages are getting like 8k mana lol

[cyan forum]

i guess I just really need my 4th ascendancy to be tanky

[agile moat]

I've been trying hard to stick to a cold COTB build because I love the freeze and I don't just want to copy captainlance lol

[echo vale]

LIkely using Eldritch Battery to convert ES to Mana

[agile moat]

yea...

i know.

[cyan forum]

is the 4th ascendancy that much harder than the 3rd? I was able to clear 3rd super easy

[pliant pebble]

Yeah I'm thinking they'll just be fighting the walls. Guess I'll keep another skill gem handy to swap to

[terse escarp]

interesting, idk if he wants to convert fire to ice but Ill have to let him know about the synergy

[agile moat]

I'm doing CI/MoM/EB/gaze

[median kraken]

Yeah, the build I'm playing doesn't sound like what he wants to play, unfortunately, it's just what's worked well for me

[daring bobcat]

I'm lvl 73 with 2.6k es and 1.4 life, capped resists on a ice sorceress stormweaver

survivability isn't terrible

[hidden perch]

ok, so?

I didn't say it is, I asked for help with mine

[daring bobcat]

Yea so how do you compare beside ''I have 1.6 ES''

[slow gate]

damn I really thought this would be worth more with the +6 💀

[hidden perch]

WHO THE F SAID I WANTED TO COMPARE

I ASKED FOR HELP NOT FOR A COMPARISON

whatever, you're baiting

[daring bobcat]

Are you actually this dumb ?

[terse escarp]

yeah its unfortunate, since at least for this character his idea was going for only fire spells and using demon form to do hella damage, but currently he cant stay in demon form for long and feels like his dps just sucks with his current spells

[median kraken]

Look, we're all new to this game, for most people the best reference we have for helping with defenses is "well, here's what's working for me." Not sure why you're getting so angry about this.

[tropic root]

Can anyone explain to me why I can’t find Combat frenzy?

[median kraken]

Most of us haven't tried enough different things to have super general advice, we can just compare what's working for different people

[mild badge]

Am I mistaken or is there a passive skill that splits your damage in half and gives the other half later over time?

[glacial sorrel]

hey guys someone has a good build for chronomancer sorceress?

[echo vale]

In my opinion, yes. The Boss of ultimatum and sanctum both are a substantial icnrease in difficulty.

[cyan forum]

damn, ok thanks for the reality check

[atomic halo]

sounds like bloodmage thing

it's not 50/50 though, it's only 25% taken over time

[visual seal]

guys how do you get a 5th support skill slot??

[daring bobcat]

Perfect jeweller's orb

[atomic halo]

perfect jeweler's or lucky corruption outcome

[visual seal]

thanks, cant find any on the trade site

so i guess people are using a vaal to get 5th now?

[daring bobcat]

For currency, use the in-game currency exchange

[visual seal]

ahh ok

[median kraken]

They're very rare and expensive though

[daring bobcat]

Yea someone sold one for 122 exal a few mins ago

[hidden perch]

It's because it seems to me like he's not trying to help, he's just flaunting his stats around. Didn't say how he got them so I've got no relevant information from that message and when I said it doesn't help me he just said "so how do you compare". I don't wanna pump someone's ego, I'm asking for stuff I may not know about or I could do better on. Concrete stuff or something more vague, it doesn't matter as long as it's useful, but that message was not useful at all to me

[agile meteor]

How do i get 3rd ascencion? I am lvl 72 and still got no stones for traials of sekhana lvl 3. How to get that ?

[visual seal]

OMG

[median kraken]

Sure, your reaction just seemed unnecessarily hostile. It's fine to not find it helpful, just seemed extreme to get so angry about it.

[daring bobcat]

I wasn't flauting I was trying to understand why youre ES is low. two possible reasons, low level not enough passives or bad gear. Cry harder kid

[cyan forum]

Does anyone play cold monk? Trying to figure out when I need to upgrade this staff. I'm doing tier 5/6 maps and it feels strong but trying to figure out what to upgrade next

[teal hill]

What are the best modifiers for flasks in endgame?

[hidden perch]

I got annoyed because he said "so how do you compare" when that wasn't the point

mb Ig

[daring bobcat]

I could have linked my build but I don't even know what class you are. idk how you expect anyone to help you

[hidden perch]

my whole passive tree's above and I think it has my class and ascendancy

[atomic halo]

genuine attempt at help:
is this bait?

[spiral jasper]

Currently lv78, but my elemental resistances got reduced by yet another 10… I just re-geared a few level ups ago.. when does it stop??? :c

[gray ferry]

I think the resist cuts hit at t6 and t11 maps

does anyone build Evasion/ES on Ranger? Or is pure Evasion usually the goto?

[median kraken]

Right now it happens at T6 and T11 maps, but I think they're removing that with the next patch

[spiral jasper]

Thank you 🙏 this info will really help in preparing for new gear

[spiral jasper]

REALLY??! That would be sp helpful.. it’s so expensive changing gear

[gray ferry]

or at least this will be the case after upcoming patch as of the recent update given by GGG

don't recall if it dropped yet

oh

getting removed?

[pearl sluice]

this is good for hexblast? how work power charge

[vagrant plinth]

if you use a sceptre with a 2h mace(giant's blood), will that count as dual wielding as far as mace skills go? do you attack with the sceptre?

[atomic halo]

not dual wielding

or is it?

its not a martial weapon anyway

you cannot attack with a sceptre

[gray ferry]

you don't attack with scepters yeah

[rugged lily]

I want to try CoF frostfire in my stubbornness. What are y'all using to freeze with? I'm expecting ignite and fire to do most of the work, so I just want freezemaxxing from the ice skill

[sage light]

is the elemental explosion ascendency node underwhelming for monk? Or is it good dmg. at 35% crit chance

[gray ferry]

Figure Eternal Youth would be neat on a Pathfinder and using life flasks? 🤔

[inland warren]

Slowly piecing together a minion witch build. Is Witch Infernalist the official term for it?

[rough kelp]

what was the build for cast on ignite?

[gray ferry]

Infernalist is one of the ascendencies for Witch yeah, and it can grant some benefits to minions

You can get extra spirit based on your max life, which means more minions

And you can grant more fire damage to your minions or get a hellhound minion that takes some damage for you

[inland warren]

I’m Level 14. I have 14 Dex/31 Int/12 Str. What attributes should I be adding more to?

[gray ferry]

Really just whatever attributes your gear and skills needs, though most minion related skills will probably lean into Int

[inland warren]

Have Flame Wall. Arsonist Minion/Sniper Minion/Warrior Minion

[gray ferry]

You'll probably want a Scepter, because Scepters give a tonne of spirit (up to 200+!) and Scepters need a mix of Str and Int

[wicked fable]

Hey guys how does the lightning to cold conversion work for call of the brotherhood? does it take into account the passives on tree aswell?

[gray ferry]

So I would prioritize Int > Str > Dex

[inland warren]

Have a Level 3 Skeltal Warrior Minion on mine

[normal hedge]

can someone help me tell ig something is wrong somewhere? i got 60 spirits for cast on shock but still says i ain't got enough

[gray ferry]

Scepters can potentially get +levels to minion skills to keep an eye out for that, that's a big boost

[fringe cape]

Is there any way to replace a rune that in an item?

[gray ferry]

since minions don't directly scale with your weapons, you really want +levels

[gray ferry]

no :(

once a rune is socketed, it's there for good afaik

[slender finch]

What's flavor build of this week?

[fringe cape]

Well that sucks.. i have 130% cold resistance now lol

[gray ferry]

at what level

[inland warren]

Yeah I have some upgrades to do

[slow thistle]

Anyone have any good pathfinder bow poison builds?

[wheat marlin]

What's the best overall warrior build right now? Shockwave totem?

[slender finch]

Warcry/corrupting cry?

[gaunt ether]

Why am i getting spammed over this? Is this really that good?

[rotund moss]

are there any ways to expand the radius of blasphemy outside of Zone of Control

[sacred sail]

should be cool for a chaos dot build 😮

[slender finch]

Strength stacking corrupting cry

[wheat marlin]

Level as what, boneshatter?

[rotund moss]

e.g. do normal area of effect increases work on Blasphemy

[wheat elk]

What is it about Chayula monk people dont like? Im sorta brain storming a build and it along with one other ascendency feels like it would be the best pick.

[sacred sail]

people say Es leech is mid, chaos monk ability are non existant and darkness is bad

myself I have no idea

I think it can be cool x)

[gray ferry]

from what I heard chaos abilities felt meh but they're getting buffed with upcoming patch

I thought with chaos monk maybe you'd go MoM with the instant mana leech and mana stack

[wheat elk]

Its reality rending thats taking my fancy with the build I wanna try. Feels like the best fit out of every ascendency haha :P

Well

It and Deadeye are neck and neck :P

[sacred sail]

they were talking about chaos dot

I think

[gray ferry]

yeah stuff like contagion ig

or whatever goes with it

[vivid laurel]

can i get some clarification on chain support.

if i use arc spell which chains 4 times. and if chain support adds +1 to chain it would make it chain 5 times. but then it also says supported skills chain 100% more times. so would arc then chain total of 10 times or 9 times (4x2 +1)

[rotund moss]

I can't find an answer on the discord but does Zone of Control and Radial Force both work on Blasphemy

[daring bobcat]

When dmg is converted it scales of the new dmg modifier so 100% lighting to cold will scale of only spell/cold dmg boost and not shock

[gray ferry]

Hey so Spectral Ward grants ES based on body armour evasion, does Bestial Skin, which grants 100% increased evasion from equipped body armour, boost Spectral Ward? I doubit it...but figured I'd ask in case anyone knows 😅

[wheat elk]

What on Chayula monk is actually getting buffed out of curiosity, do we know? Might make my choice easier/even harder haha

[weak kayak]

Whats the best resource for actual top ladder builds?

[icy dome]

is there a guide for modifying the loot filter? i've neversink, but i'd like to adapt it slightly

oops this might not be the right channel, well, maybe someone knows anyway

[sand gull]

open it in notepad, it should be pretty self explantory

[icy dome]

well it kinda is, i'd still like to be able to read up on things if necessary

[boreal swan]

Curious ~ what's likely the best rune to put into a lightning ranger's bow? The ones that give physical damage, or lightning damage?

[wheat elk]

How DOES thrilling chase work? Say you use barrage, would it turn 5 extra projectiles into 10?

[cedar river]

Is Ignition worth it on 3 supported Gas Grenade? Or is it better with more dmg or cooldown reduction?

[tall valley]

CI STORMWAVE INVOKER is good?

[vital plume]

anyone got any cool off meta builds? tryna avoid playing some sort of ranger garbage

[wary wave]

I can socket ricochet into lightning arrow even though it cannot chain ?

this a bug or intended behavior ?

nvm beam can chain

[hushed umbra]

How much resistance can you penetrate? Infinite?

[signal relic]

Hey guys, I'm looking for an infernalist specific build without minions.
Can't find much besides Minion builds. Any suggestions from streamers/websites?

[wary wave]

I'm not even sure if you can have negative resistances

I think not

[shy bobcat]

you can have negative resistances, I had -15 lightning at one point

[wary wave]

no

I'm talking about enemies

[shy bobcat]

but that only goes into effect at cruel and up once you get penalized

[wary wave]

when you apply resistance pen/exposure

you reduce their resistance

but

[agile moat]

Are Critical Hit Chance and Critical Hit Chance for Spells different? The former seems to affect my spells just fine

[wary wave]

I'm not sure if you can reduce it below 0

in PoE 1 you could (if I remember correctly)

[cobalt musk]

crit hit chance applies to spells too

idk why there needs to be one specifically for spells

[hushed umbra]

What's the point of curses then, you can easily penetrate everything with items and passives then

[agile moat]

Yeah that seems weird/confusing lol

[indigo valley]

Is there a way to increase my spirit more ? I need like 47 more to make my build perfect. Have spirit on sceptre, chest and amulet, no idea what more to do. Any suggestion ?

[tidal copper]

How reliable is "rage when you get hit"
I'm too far from hits generating rage

[signal relic]

Just grab a Jewel with 1 Rage on Hit

[tidal copper]

Alpha Howl helmet

[tidal copper]

Not a bad idea

[tall valley]

Is Monk better than Archer?

[indigo valley]

Hmm not a bad idea, however I will be missing out on +2 minion lvl affix

[tidal copper]

I like how archer looks more

[indigo valley]

In fact I can't use it, not enough dex

[mossy wave]

does dark effigy work off weapon crit chance or spell damage crit chance or neither?

[tidal copper]

Socket that rune for 20% requirement or whatever

[indigo valley]

neither, it's DoT

[mossy wave]

dark effigy is DoT? It fires projectiles at DoTted enemies I thought

[rain bone]

does the increased energy shield recovery (not recharge) rate from shimmering affect life flasks with eternal youth?

[indigo valley]

chaos damage

[mossy wave]

yes chaos damage dots

but it still fires projectiles

each of those projectiles can crit, but is there a way to boost that crit chance + damage?

[indigo valley]

regardless

[indigo valley]

hmm not a bad idea

[vagrant plinth]

Yo, do any endgame builds utilize low level uniques or are low level uniques meant to be abandoned?

Got a scepter that increases my chaos damage by 3% for every minion which is cool but it's level 10

[tidal copper]

You can see a list of mods in PoE DB for spirit and uniques
Maybe with high enough tier you can mend the build and alpha Howl can be a temporary measure
It'll be more than enough too so you could change equipment around

[rapid star]

So here is my janky idea for a monk freezing build
since tempest flurry is trash, and Freezing is op, but doing It normally is just boring!
I thought of doing this... so I can have a full lightning build... alternatively can be a full ignite build using Ice too lol
But i do thik the staff lack quite a lot of consistent damage

[valid swallow]

Can someone answer this im wondering the same thing thank you

[indigo valley]

Yeah I am actually searching through it and seems like that helmet is the best option for now. I could get high enough spirit if I used Beidat's WIll but can't since I have CI. Would've been nice to convert that somehow.

[rapid star]

it does not, spell have their own modiffier/tag

this one adds only to skills with attack tag

so "martial weapons" skill basically

[thorn cedar]

whats the max amount of modifiers i can have on a weapon? and what happens if I use an exalted orb on a fully modified weapon? will it overwrite a random modifier?

[valid swallow]

oh i see so as long as it has attack tag or melee tag it will affect the skill?

[steady mural]

is there any build guide for infernalist for beating jamnra the abomination (act 2 boss)

[rapid star]

6. 3 prefixes and 3 suffixes, and it will simply not allow you to use it, you need to use a chaos orb to swap a rnadom mod for another random mod

[thorn cedar]

oh okay, thanks

[rapid star]

only attack tag so far as I know, no idea if only melee works

[steady mural]

plz anyone?

[signal relic]

Guys is CI playable with demon form?

Or will it kill us instantly?

[valid swallow]

I see ty that changes my mind about focusing it so much then

[rapid star]

also add # to # any element on weapon will work on any skills that use that weapon

[static plinth]

Spell crit

[rapid star]

even if the mod is not "to attacks"

[static plinth]

You cant enter Demon Form while you have 1 life

[pale jewel]

Sorry if wrong channel but cnt find anything online, anyone knows what you improve by upping a wand's quality with arcanist's? i know scepter gives spirits but wands?

[muted wedge]

Hello guys, I'm currently running a merc lightning build, I reached act 3 brutal but I do no damage to bosses tho, do I need to get a new xbow? or is it something else?

[zenith flower]

Hey can anyone help me with a CI invoker build?

[pine veldt]

HELP! not sure how to spend passive points on the +5 attributes ,I go Dex and int. Should I make it even Dex,int,Dex,int ect? Or?

[valid swallow]

Oh wait thats a little more lenient then all my skills can only use my weapon so i think its probably pretty good for my build

[weak knoll]

would that sell ?

[grand snow]

is ci bleed and corrupted blood immune?

[unreal girder]

What are some good links for Wind Dancer?

[grand snow]

pin

Will this Ranger build work at lower levels (like 45-50) as well, or does this rely too much on having the additional support gems on all the skills? I still only have 2 support gem slots on all of my skills.

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/88gmc0ha

[rapid star]

yep, unless you are using a spell, spells don't count as used through your weapon, but everything else pretty much does, unless maybe unarmed attacks
So the rule of thumb is a martial art skill/attack uses all the damage and add damage your weapon has unless is specifically for spells
But spells can only use the added damage that is specifically for spells

[still rock]

I don't think theres added flat to spell dmg in the game but I could be wrong

It seems they wrapped that into +spell level affixes instead to be more intuitive

[rapid star]

hum, it's a possibility

[still rock]

Maybe somewhere but its definitely not as prevelant as it was before at the very least

[karmic pine]

Hey guys would this stack with each-other?

[woven otter]

Okay question : for the infusion support gems, if I wore 2 of them, would the decrease in other elements affect the “extra damage” portion?

[rapid star]

maybe can only be rolled on caster weapons? I notice there is added damage to attacks or spells on the trade site search

[valid swallow]

I see ty yea i grabbed a staff that adds a ton of # to # lightning and it quadrupled my damage lol you were right

[still rock]

I assume the minions would get the presence effect which could potentially affect you? Thats a good thing to test cause it could be really strong

[ruby palm]

so I'm planning a Sorc build, but I wanted to ask peeps. Would a staff or a wand/focus be better for damage?

[gray ferry]

Not very experienced with Ranger/Pathfinder - figure investing into flask nodes, ES/Energy Shield Nodes would be enough to sustain with Eternal Youth and maybe CI?

Disappointed.

[still rock]

Ah poop

[still rock]

Afaik it doesnt exist, just checked trade affixes and didnt see any added flat unless I'm missing something

[karmic pine]

I'm gonna slide by that in case they ever fix it (if it is a bug at all) since there are some good nodes nearby I want anyway

[still rock]

Yeah the node could be bugged

[cinder vine]

Can I add support gems to a gem in a meta gem?

[strong timber]

playing witch that relies on contagion and ED. Should I go for Engrave or Profeane foe mt level up?

Can herald of ash benefit from anything other than magnified effect or am i just missing something here

[astral mulch]

I’ve searched a few past messages… so, if I got things right, this is a good setup:

• Curse on blasphemy
• All nodes that amplify / grant exposure
• No need for penetration nodes…
• but (after patch) node that penetrates cold res if target is frozen and resist is positive is a freebie

👆 sounds correct?

Extra question: What’s the maximum cold resist that mobs will have? 🤔

[frosty arrow]

Grenadier my beloved. Just finished normal act 3. Will take my own makeshift build to maps and see if I need help with it. So far smooth sailing. Blow up entire screens of mobs, chunking bosses too

[gray ferry]

this is lovely 🙏

[edgy sage]

does One with the storm add one charge after my max charges? like if i have a max of 6 and use all 6 does that skill give me 7?

[lean vine]

Which builds are getting cooked this update?

[cedar karma]

What's the best crossbow base for a witch hunter galvanic shards build?

[limpid turtle]

Holy effing crap lacerate got a glowup

[night hemlock]

how are those concoctions looking?

wasnt gonna bother but the buffs look pretty good

[frosty arrow]

It will count as if you had one extra, when you consume what you have. Not generate

[sharp pike]

buffs plasma blast
leaves cluster grenade untouched
Why are they like this?

[spring atlas]

I'm playing lightning deadeye.... kind of following a build kind of winging it. However, alot og guides i see reccomend to get physical damage on my bow instead of lightning damage. Why is that?

[alpine mural]

the skill converts physical to lightning

[night hemlock]

this

[alpine mural]

its not that lightning is bad

u want both

[spring atlas]

But only 40% no? Why not just go for the lightning damage instead?

[alpine mural]

but you can get more phys than lightning

[toxic crown]

Where can I see life leech? I can't see it on the spells or character sheet.

[night hemlock]

i use a cold monk nd ice strike converts 80%

[alpine mural]

you real damage comes from the beams

that is 100% convertion

[hollow perch]

Does a staff count as a two handed weapon? Would this work for spell damage?

[frosty arrow]

Try it. Won't cost much to refund few points

[opaque gazelle]

whats the best way to have like super act speed and super cast speed as monk

[alpine mural]

yep

[dry pagoda]

expand the skills with the little arrow on the right edge of the skill menu and it should show up

[pearl sluice]

whats the best website/place to find complete builds that can clear t1-t15 maps?

[hollow perch]

thanks. Yep to boh parts?

[toxic crown]

It's not there either. I can see pretty much everything but life leech lol

[spring atlas]

Thank you

[hollow perch]

it shows up in different parts of the sheet depending on if you have the suppot equipped or not

[lean tundra]

i was making my own bulid but i get my arse kicked so bad so i just decide to use somone who have more hours that me

[frosty arrow]

Okay, it's been a long while since I've played first game but were there a lot of +life and %life nodes in the tree. There's literally nothing now

[hushed lichen]

Heyo, super general question, I'm running a poison ranger(pathfinder) build and Im transitioning from lightning arrow into gas arrow now

until i beat the next boss that gives additional spirit am I better off running Wind Dancer or Plague Bearer as my single spirit passive/skill until I can run both?

[analog gale]

so armor explosion chaining got removed

[dry pagoda]

it should be under on hit effects

[analog gale]

but what if you used herald of ash to armor break?

would that work?

[edgy sage]

yea i dont mean generate but does it still count over my max?

[toxic crown]

Maybe the bloodmage life leech is bugged, idk:

[wooden iris]

Fixed a bug where the Explosion from the Armour Explosion Support could trigger itself recursively.

This breaks my heart, i didn't even know it was a bug 🥲

Guess warriors HAVE to use shields now? Anyone facing a similar issue in T15+?

[analog gale]

you would probably need this to use the support in two different skills

[onyx vessel]

Hi all, I'm a lvl 58 warrior atm and was wondering if physical-only weapons benefit from the Primal Armament gem if the skill converts to fire (like perfect strike)?

[patent agate]

So Armour explosion + scavenged Plating is dead now? I really hope not. That's my whole build

[alpine mural]

did you try on your character sheet? on C

idk where it would be tbh

[hollow perch]

same lol

[dry pagoda]

so the leech is from ascendancy skill? Im not sure if it would show up in the tool tip then. Or it´s bugged, I heard a lot about BM being bugged

[frosty arrow]

I don't see why wouldn't it. There's nothing specifying against it

[analog gale]

depends what you were doing with it

if its the chaining then yeah

if your exploding walls then no

[toxic crown]

It works, I can see it working while I'm playing, I just can't see it on stats anywhere.

[analog gale]

like glacial bolt warbringer still works with armor explosion

[patent agate]

It's allowing me to get 18k armour that's what I'm doing with it

[dry pagoda]

I think thats how it is with asc, I can´t see my armor break on hit as warrior either

[analog gale]

it makes all the walls from glacial bolt all explode

[toxic crown]

I did, no dice:

[void pewter]

Hey, am I able to use Ghost Dance and Combat Frenzy together? Once I equiped Ghost Dance, I no longer gain charges from Combat Frenzy. I still have 21 Spirit left with those two active, along with both Thunder and Ice Heralds. (Invoker Monk)

[patent agate]

I'm monk using armour explosion on Whirling

so not a lot of range. I was relying on the chain

[onyx vessel]

Anyone know? Seems like there is no official breakdown of how a lot of support gems and skills work :c trying to figure out if I ditch fire all together, though weapons with "+% elemental damage from attacks" seems so good

[toxic crown]

Strange, I think I'll report it.

[tawdry mantle]

Is there anything stopping me from swapping my weapon from Weapon Set 1 to Set 2 (rather than buying a 2nd weapon) to benefit from Weapon Set Passive Points? Like if I wanted to have AoE clear for Set 1 and Single Target for Set 2

[limpid turtle]

unless there are attribute requirements, no

you still need 2 weps though

[pulsar pebble]

how do i fix "skill cant be used" when i put it into cast on freeze? i have more than enough spirit pls help ive been stuck for like 2 days😭 🙏

[onyx vessel]

Does it add a stat requirement?

Like +int?

[hollow perch]

equip and unquip the gems

swap weapon set

stuff like that

[pulsar pebble]

im not sure im using this doe

[alpine mural]

yea i dont know then

[pulsar pebble]

ill try

[analog gale]

ah ok

you cant armor break with herald of ash

because warbringer specifies hit

[hollow perch]

oh no wait you cant cast cast on freeze with normal cast

[analog gale]

wait

[frigid vapor]

Ok what are crossbow mercs cooking with this patch

[analog gale]

is this a hit

[pulsar pebble]

how do i fix?

[hollow perch]

gotta equip the gem normally to castit

but it casts on freeze

automatically

[onyx vessel]

Oh interesting

[hollow perch]

ohhhhhh whattttt those oots

[pulsar pebble]

so like this?

[hollow perch]

y but with herald of ash it will probably stil do fire dmg off the bots though

I would assume

[hollow perch]

if you wanna cast it normally aswell yeah

[pulsar pebble]

alr ty

[onyx vessel]

Anyone here doing a warrior build and also wondering whether conversion skills are worth it? Wondering if primal armament would work on something like perfect strike. Wish there was a way to see damage on a dummy or smth

[hollow perch]

im merc but doing a warrior mace setup kinda and thats all Ive wanted all week

[hollow perch]

know the pain

[lucid token]

is one on left much of an upgrade?

[onyx vessel]

I'd say so. Much more phys damage

Your lowest hit roll is almost 100% higher than the right

[iron basin]

Ok so, hand of chayula acolyte int stacker with decaying hex.

Why is it a terrible idea?

[lucid token]

its for lightning arrow build, not sure if losing the lightning is a massiv diff or not

[onyx vessel]

Oh interesting

See that's an interesting question because the higher the phys on your wep, the higher your lightning damage post 40% conversion for lightning arrow

[analog gale]

oh wait

the update hasnt happened yet

[onyx vessel]

Hence why I'm also so confused about conversion skills and how they scale lmao

[analog gale]

so i cant say if my build is broken or not yet

[analog gale]

they scale with the damage they are converted to

[lucid token]

tempted to just buy and try, its like 4 divs tho idk if worth

[analog gale]

and conversion all happens at once

you can hold alt and find out basically all the information you need

it brings up explanations when you hold alt and hover over stuff

[onyx vessel]

But the added lightning damage wouldn't matter vs phys right? unless using something like primal armament I think, which seems to only affect elemental dmg directly tied to a weapon

[obtuse ledge]

As a witch, do you generally want to be putting passive skills into Strength? it seems like alot of witch spells require strenght

[onyx vessel]

4 divs is insane holy shit

[lucid token]

yh a bit much idk

[round escarp]

So to explain conversion =

Damage from Weapon -> Skill Conversions -> Passive Conversions (Like AoF)-> Damage Increases

Any damage increases you have apply after conversion never before

[vestal herald]

does fortress support gem on flame wall decrease ignite damage?

[onyx vessel]

By damage increases what do you mean exactly? Like gems, or passive nodes?

[regal turtle]

are you able to corrupt a skill gem to get a 6th support gem spot?

[round escarp]

If you're scaling lightning damage, the one on the left isnt actually much of an upgrade at all.

200-300 * conversion multiplier

vs

100-200*conversion multiplier +4-87

[round escarp]

All of them

only one gem that applies before conversion is heft, i think

[lucid token]

so not worth... appreciate it

[somber trail]

Can someone link an int stacker

[round escarp]

yeah the flat lightning doesnt get converted. it just gets added directly on top if your scaling lightning

[gray ferry]

For anyone running evasion builds, how do you like to deal with physical hits? Aside from just not getting hit...

[round escarp]

Tiny they evade lol

you get enough evade to evade most and then use flasks

[gray ferry]

Well yeah but isn't the thing with evasion that you will eventually be hit

[round escarp]

kill them fast

[gray ferry]

it was in poe1 at least

[onyx vessel]

0.4 x 250 (avg) is 160, whereas 0.4 x 150 is 60, +45 (avg) lightning is 105 lightning dmg avg. What am I missing here

[wheat elk]

I want something extreme and over the top. Between Snipe + Barrage with max frenzy charges, Flameblast, Explosive arrow and Plasma blast which is the most "Wtf did I just do" attack. Like I want to see a lifebar dissapear

[dusty bear]

Genuine question: is killing t1 breach boss in ~10-15 seconds good or bad? how much harder is t2 over t1?

[oblique ledge]

My all elemental resists dropped by 10% and idk why and when, i changed nothing in build, just 3rd and 4th ascendancy

[gray ferry]

I was thinking of trying this along with Snipe + Barrage and Frenzy Charges

Since snipe has a guarantee crit and should hit hard

[dusty bear]

did you do a yellow map?

[oblique ledge]

yues

[dusty bear]

that's why, but it's gonna be reverted when the patch drops (now)

[oblique ledge]

so it was a bug?

[dusty bear]

No, intended

[rigid sinew]

do you guys think a chaos damage witch build could be viable with the changes?

[dusty bear]

but they removed that penalty

[oblique ledge]

but i had that everywhere, not just on maps

[dusty bear]

Yes

[oblique ledge]

oh ok

[oak jetty]

welp, going to need to redesign my Titan now the armor break thing is gone 😛

[dusty bear]

it's like reaching another act, it just puts a res penalty on you

it was a thing in red maps too so another -10%, but both are getting removed

[teal hatch]

Arsonist vs snipers after patch - anyone had any thoughts on this?

[round escarp]

.4*250 is 100.

[wheat elk]

@gray ferry So I have a little extra tech for that since im trying to figure out a good snipe build myself. If you use the node that converts endurance charges into frenzy charges with the support that gives you a chance to gain an endurance charge on armor break with corrosion on Snipe, every snipe you fire off has a chance to top off your frenzy charges again for the next barrage

[onyx vessel]

Mathed wrong mb x.x

[round escarp]

Try snipers and see how they do

[gray ferry]

Oh that's a neat idea thank you

I was going to try to do something with combat frenzy and/or sniper's mark since they got buffed

[zinc vortex]

RIP arsonists, waht do we play now boys?

[teal hatch]

Hopefully we only loose 1 or 2 - only dps output goes a little down but now they might be able to walk through a door

[toxic crown]

I'm really trying to make blood mage work with the Sanquine body unique

[wheat elk]

@gray ferry For bosses obviously unspec out the node and use Snipers mark if you want reliability. Especially with it now having a 2 second cooldown :P

[onyx vessel]

Have you looked into guaranteed armour break using the +50% break on heavy stun + nodes that break increased armour? With hulking form it translates to 100% chance + 120% added damage to fully broken enemies. Still seems good? o.O

[round escarp]

That's how most people were armour breaking

It just can't trigger itself

And chain the screen

[zinc vortex]

but i already only have 7 lmfao cuz all the spirit gear with +level is like 200 exalts

i dont think this class is that good to warrant a nerf honestly, sorc just sits still and shocks the boss and doens't even have to dodge shit

[teal hatch]

Playing infernalist? I got 407 spirit and 12 atm

[mossy wave]

I didn't see any changes for blood mage in the patch notes, should I be concerned or are people overblowing how bad it is?

[zinc vortex]

yeah

i have 271

lmao

[teal hatch]

CI?

[round escarp]

Bloodmage is kinda cracked later into the game

[wheat elk]

@gray ferry Please tho, @ me if you think of anything else because im racking my brain on a build and I just dunno what to play.

[zinc vortex]

i dont have beidat's hand yet tho

cant complete the sekhemas trial the scorpion gets me everytime

[soft lake]

I think it's playable for certain builds, but it's still overly limiting. And the bleed stuff just doesn't feel viable

[round escarp]

Do the ultimatum

[zinc vortex]

is it easier?

[gray ferry]

I didn't have any other crazy ideas aside from poison on crit, snipe + barrage, and investing in poison magnitude / duration / stack count

[zinc vortex]

im like lvl 80 doing t10 maps and havent ascended yet cuz of the sekhemas trial i hate it so much

[round escarp]

Ultimatum might be easier

[gray ferry]

ofc finding ways to make the snipe hit harder would result in more DoT too

[teal hatch]

3rd I think sanctum is easier but ultimatum should be OK aswell

[gray ferry]

There was a bug causing the DoTs consume too much honour

this patch makes it drain like 1/3 as much now

I figure that should help with scorpion

also you lose up to 35% less honour depending on how close you are to enemies

[uncut bay]

what is like the strongest witch build rn?

[soft niche]

Where we putting this support gem for the minions boys?

[teal hatch]

arsonist is getting higher cost

[static badge]

Sorc question, what's a solid early-mid game sorc build atm? Currently just spamming spark + flame wall and looking to move on

for context im about half way through act 2, lvl ~26

[gray ferry]

I think I'll take advantage of the split tree feature, using something like gas arrow for pack clear along with corrosion and resonance, and stick with sniper's mark on bosses

[onyx vessel]

Can someone pls point me to the detailed patch changes? The armour changes seem ouchie :c

[soft lake]

Most recent post in #old-game-news

[round escarp]

I'd say find what element you want to work with first

[analog gale]

anyone tried out trampletoe?

[round escarp]

Early-mid spark+flame wall is great

[analog gale]

because i have an idea that could revive armor break explosion chaining with trampletoe

hopefully

[round escarp]

Trampletoe?

[analog gale]

if the explosion overkills enough

[analog gale]

if thats a hit

you could armor break with it using warbringer

[round escarp]

Yeah that would do it

[analog gale]

i think

i guess its just if it deals enough damage

oh wait

[north talon]

Wouldn't that not work since the damage is not coming from the armor explosion skill

[analog gale]

the armor break from the overkill wont cause explosions

[thin shore]

this looks like a gemling item lol

[analog gale]

if it was a skill you could make it work

[shrewd cypress]

where are these new nodes

[round escarp]

Ah for warbringer

[analog gale]

yeah looks like it wont work

i wasted an exalt

[round escarp]

Yeah screen clearing for warrior is cooked

Using armour break chains

But that really doesn't change much tbh

[analog gale]

im just hoping armour explosion still works on walls

because thats my build

[round escarp]

Well crossbow

[round escarp]

It can

[wheat heath]

does this effect the DOT damage of essence drain?

[round escarp]

No

[slender finch]

no hit sanctum run? easy. just block everything

[unkempt nexus]

anyone know what the resistance change for maps means? it's kind of explained vaguely

[analog gale]

i wonder if theres anything neat do do with this

[unkempt nexus]

just wanting to know so i can plan out resists

[analog gale]

hold alt and hover over gain and it will probably tell you

[analog gale]

you dont lose like 20% resistance

[dull sierra]

Use Combat Frenzy passive on Monk for free infinite power charges.

[tight pulsar]

After patch couldnt even break armor on shield wall anymore sad times for warrior

[gray ferry]

for example you could use Combat Frenzy to give you power charges instead of frenzy charges on freeze/electrocute

[analog gale]

i saw this

[gray ferry]

or, like someone just told me a little earlier, using poison + corrosion + break endurance to get frenzy charges instead of endurance charges from poisoning enemies

[round escarp]

That's how they do flicker rn

Generate power charges and convert

[analog gale]

wait

[unkempt nexus]

they just removed the negative 20%? or they slapped it on at the start?

[analog gale]

idk

[gray ferry]

oh that's neat too

[analog gale]

they said they removed a resistance penalty

[gray ferry]

there's also one that gives chance for power charge on crit

[analog gale]

so your gonna have more resistances

and based on how it works in the acts its probably -10% resistances per threshold

[wooden iris]

you know how you get resistance debuff between acts? you also got the same when moving into T6 maps and T11 maps - they removed those last two - so assume youll have tons of resistance when you log back on

for me this means i can get chaos res for cheaper

[analog gale]

i havent gotten to maps

you can probably google it

[soft lake]

It is now consistent across all of the Endgame at the same value as it was previously at Tier 1.

[round escarp]

Low key that chest is likely gonna be busted with 3 charm slots

[analog gale]

50% chance to avoid death sounds funny

[gray ferry]

for those that like to gamble with their life

[uncut bay]

what's the build with the most potential for infernalist or blood mage?

[unkempt nexus]

god that makes me happy.

[analog gale]

aw

[soft lake]

Take Chaos Innoculation for the full experience

[unkempt nexus]

getting capped res was a pain lol

[analog gale]

theres a unique that makes life recharge

[gray ferry]

haven't played much blood mage yet but people seem to say it needs some tweaking

[analog gale]

but its interupted by all forms of losing life it seems

so you cant spend life and keep recharging i think

[pearl sluice]

guys have you tried spamming log in yet

[gray ferry]

mostly seem people annoying with having to use both life and mana for skills

[wooden iris]

yep - DCs

[analog gale]

just take blood magic then

[soft lake]

That makes you pay 2x

[gray ferry]

lmao

ouch

[soft lake]

If a skill cost 100 mana, it would cost 200 life with Blood Magic

[analog gale]

i know

[analog gale]

you can actually get it higher

[nimble fiber]

huge buff with the combat frenzy thing for monks

[wooden iris]

for a warrior with +6 melee skills and 450 strength, i pay this price gladly 🙂

[soft lake]

Warriors don't have to pay double cost for Blood Magic - it's just 1:1 for them

[analog gale]

250% mana cost as life cost

[ripe imp]

I'm sad my Frost Sorc got nerfed again....:(. What to do....hard times as a Chronomancer.

[wooden iris]

even better!

[soft lake]

The double cost is an extra "fuck you" to Blood Mages

[analog gale]

theres a way to benefit from it

[wooden iris]

anyone able to log in?

[quick trail]

people saying armour explosion is nerfed but I'm a noob and don't see how, can someone explain?

[analog gale]

250% mana cost as life cost means a gain lot of damage as chaos damage

[wooden iris]

armour explosion used to cause more armor explosion, so it could chain through the entire screen

they removed its ability to chain - but its unconfirmed

as a dual wield warrior, i'm very worried about this

[round escarp]

That staff would make hexblast cracked

Kinda tho

Bc you lose the levels but gain a bunch of damage.

[analog gale]

its 100% confirmed that its not chaining anymore

it was in the patch notes

[round escarp]

We back up yet?

[graceful stag]

RIP my clear lmao

[wheat heath]

are the chaos over time skills really bad? or what

[analog gale]

hmmmm

[round escarp]

Yes

[graceful stag]

Slam clears destined to suck balls

[analog gale]

blood mage could take power of purpose if they arent using mana

tho mind over matter might be a better use of it with the staff

[wooden iris]

the question is what recursive explosions mean specifically - if they explode on the same mob or on other mobs,

but as a betting man, i'd say its gone entirely as well

[quick trail]

all the patch notes said is that armour break no longer triggers itself recursively, to me that might mean it can still chain, there might have been a bug where it would apply multiple times to the same target idk

[analog gale]

theres videos of it

[round escarp]

That's not in the game lol

[pearl sluice]

What are the new nodes they added?

[analog gale]

you can just google it

it chained from one enemy to the next

[soft lake]

Triggering itself recursively is the chain

[wooden iris]

that's my open question too

[dense jasper]

been feeling like my single target damage is rather weak as a lightning ranger
what skill/support gems would help with that

[round escarp]

You can't get militant faith
